A/n this is a transformers earthspark chapter is focused on aja and Krell .also I am aware that the Boonchuys' names are not known, at this time, so until we get confirmation - via Marcy's Journal or some other source - I will be using their nicknames as their real names. It just makes it easier than having to refer to them as Mr. and Mrs. Boonchuy throughout the entire thing.

[Scene opens with a view of the full moon, that is then obscured by an arachnamech rising up in front. The camera pans down to show two vehicles driving towards a few storage containers. The vehicles, Cybertronian brothers Swindle and Hardtop, slow down and stop in front of the containers.]

Hardtop [laughs] and says Those humans are gonna lose their coolant when they find out we stole their stash.

[Both vehicles transform into robot mode.]

Serves 'em right for workin' with humans.Swindle said.

[Hardtop breaks open the door to one of the containers, revealing stored alien technology inside.and says Sweet technology.

Just like my tip said– lots of goods, no guards.Swindle said.

Drive Optimus Prime and transforms into robot mode.

Optimus?!" Hardtop said.

Things aren't always what they seem. That's your cue to surrender.Optimus said

Decepticons never go down without a fight.Swindle Said.

[arcee bursts out of another storage container in her motorcycle form and transforms, then stands next to Optimus, ready to fight.]

I was hoping you'd say that! Makes the job so much more fun.arcee said.

Hardtop, Swindle, the war is over. We offer you a a chance to surrounder.Optimus said.

Yeah, in prison.Hardtop scoffs

Sorry, optimus we gotta blow Swindle.

optimus aims his blasters, so does Hardtop

Swindle and Hardtop begin shooting at the Autobots. Optimus Prime dodges the shots with and attempts to hit Swindle, but misses, and arcee chases after Swindle and Hardtop on foot as they try to escape by transforming and driving away. Hardtop shoots at her as she runs on top of the storage containers, and then she jumps down in front of the two Decepticons to stop them from going any further.

The brothers transform and immediately attack arcee she dodges by using the tires on her feet to move faster, then grabs Hardtop and throws him into the ground. Swindle is punched by arcee , then kicked into the side of a storage container– causing a tower to become unstable and fall over. Swindle moves out of the way just in time to not be crushed by the falling container. Arcee jumps up to the top of a few containers, showing that Swindle and Hardtop are now surrounded by a wall of collapsed storage containers.

What, you think we set this trap just to let you get away?arcee asked.

That tip was from you?!Hardtop asked.

Nope but your were stupid enough to come here to a s.h.i.e.l.d. Storage facility arcee said as she fired her blaster.

Ah, scrap.Hardtop said.

A container comes flying towards the Decepticons, and Hardtop pushes Swindle out of the way before it hits them. Optimus Prime tosses the container aside and looks down at Swindle.]

I'll never surrender. And you'll never find every 'Con on this rock.Swindle said.

Agree to disagree.Optimus said.

They are about to start fighting again when an arachamech suddenly crawls out and jumps on Swindle from behind, latching on to his head. Swindle falls over, yelling as he tries to get it off, and Optimus grabs the arachnamech. Several more arachnamechs appear and jump on Optimus, and Swindle runs away in fear as Optimus swats and squashes the robotic bugs.

Once all the arachnamechs are broken, Optimus returns to where arcee is now locking Hardtop into a trailer. He's holding one of the broken arachnamechs, and arcee gestures to it curiously.]

What is that thing? arcee asked.

I've never seen technology like it. This isn't Cybertronian, yet we appear to be its target.Optimus said.

Think it has something to do with those rumors…?

About the Decepticons going missing? …Perhaps. I fear what it may portend for all of us. There's more to this than meets the eye.Optimus said.

[Scene cuts to a s.h.I.e.l.d. transport truck, the one carrying Hardtop, driving away among other vehicles protecting it. A sign shows the words, Welcome to l.a., arachnamechs emerge from behind the sign.]


The boonchuy house:

Aja and krell are on a roof. Krell is holding a is video chatting with his girlfriend tulip, and Aja is watching the stars

Kids, dinner's ready! mrs boonchuy said.

We'll be right in.Aja said.

[Scene cuts to the boonchuy and the planters family– mr.boonchuy aka bee and mrs. Boonchuy aka Oum,Anne,Logan,the planters,the new members of the boonchuy family.aja and krell– at the dinner table. Bee brings over the food.

polly grabs a roll from Dot's plate and stuffs it into her mouth.

Thanks for having over for dinner aja thanked her new mother.

Well your family, you lost your parents and so we took you in when we thought we lost our daughter.but we don't care if your human or not your family besides my father is a mutant with metal claws out of his hands oum said putting over to Logan.


[krell realizes that aja is not in her room. She looks out the window and gasps– she's riding away on her hover board in her human form.]

[Scene switches to aja on her hover board on the road, and krell(in his human form) comes up behind aja on her own bike.]

We're not supposed to ride alone after dark! Where are you going?krell

To go find varvatos he's family aja said.

Your right krell said.

They made to a bridge, then They notices the vehicles speeding towards them.

Run! Aja said.

[The two of them run to the other side of the bridge, trying to get away, but they are faced with an army of arachnamechs.]

What… are those things? krell asked.

How should I know your the engineer aja said.

Both fall to the ground as the arachnamechs begin shooting at the armored vehicles, causing an explosion that sends the transport truck flying right at aja and krell. He grabs his sister's light speeds them out of the way.

They jump off the side of the bridge and crash down a hill, landing mostly unharmed at the bottom. They stand up,

You okay,Aja? krell asked.

I'll be better when I'm further away from those spider things little brother. Aja said.

They noticed a sudden blue glow comes from a nearby cave. They look at each other and silently decide to go investigate. Unbeknownst to them, an arachnamech is close behind.]

They enter the cave, Aja picks up a heavy rock in case of danger.

[aja drops the rock she was carrying, causing cracks to form in the floor.

Be careful krell said.

Suddenly the cracks in the cave floor grow, and Aja and krell scream as they fall down into a deeper part of the cave.

They slide down the rocks and crash into a huge cavern. There's some strange liquid running in rivers and pools around the place, and the whole thing is brightly lit. In the center of it all is a rock pedestal with a small dark purplish-red stone.

Whoa.Aja said.

You think anyone's ever been down here before?krell asked.

Somebody had to leave that.Aja pointing to the strange stone in the center of the cavern, and krell jumps across stepping stones to run towards it. Aja follows him.

Krell lightly touches the stone with his hand. The stone tips over and falls, rolling a few feet away from the pedestal.

He runs over to the stone and tries to pick it up.

A Little help krell said.

Okay aja walks over to help krell

They lift the stone together and set it back on the pedestal in its proper place. Suddenly, a green light shines from the stone– the cavern lights up and Cybertronian symbols appear in green pillars of light. The cave liquid glows brightly, and a deep booming voice says the words, Legacy of Hope. Aja and krell realize that their hands are now attached to the stone– they can't get out.

What's happening? aja said.

I don't know krell said.

[Finally their hands separate from the stone, but a green glowing substance has formed around aja's left arm and krell's right arm. As they try to get it off, it solidifies into a silver-and-blue sleeve.]

I can't get it off even with my super strength! aja said.

Same here krell said

[They look around– two whirlpools are forming in the glowing cave liquid. As they watch, it lights up brightly and two new beings are formed. They're Cybertronian, but different. Smaller, and in silver, black, and blue colors. Then everything stops.]

What are they? krell said.

[The two new bots turn around, and Aja and krell look afraid of them. Then the bots run and hide behind a large rock formation, peeking out from behind it to look at the humans.]

Are they…aja said.

…afraid of us? You felt that too, right?krell asked.

It was like this sleeve thing was sending me feels from someone else. Aja said.

From… Twitch and Thrash. krell said.

…How do we know their names? krell asked.

I think we're… connected to them? Aja said.

Krell? Twitch asked.

Aja? Thrash asked.

[aja walks forward across the stepping stones, and krell runs to stop her.]

Aja! Krell said.

It's okay. You don't have to be scared.Aja said.

[The bots hide behind the stone again, but come out after a moment. The kids' silver sleeves glow, showing a connection, and they are affected by this.]

I feel… calm. Aja said.

I think that's them, cause it's definitely not me.krell said.

…Friend? Thrash asked.

Friend. aja said smiling.

[krell steps forward and reaches out to Twitch with his right hand– the one with the sleeve. Twitch cautiously comes out from behind the rock and hesitantly places her own hand against his. Their hands light up.]

My brother and I won't hurt you. aja said.

[krell nods, and then from behind Twitch an arachnamech scuttles closer. It jumps towards the kids, but the new bots shield them and Twitch shoots the arachnamech by transforming her arm into a gun before it can attack.]

Whoa… Twitch whispering

Cool. You're a Transformer! krell said.

Okay. We have to bring them home. aja said.

Hundred percent. krell said.

[aja and krell fist-bump, then aja steps forward to the bots.]

Twitch, Thrash, real talk. How would you feel about a staying over at our house? And being best friends. aja said.

[Twitch and Thrash look at each other and smile, and their positive emotions are transmitted through the connection to krell and aja.]

Warm-fuzzy! confirmed! krell said.

Whoa. Whatever these… cyber-sleeves are, they're gonna take some getting used to.aja said.

We'll figure it out. Together. krell said.

aja takes Twitch's hand and leads everyone out of the cave. The broken arachnamech on the floor lights up.


an unknown place:

A man in a lab coat who's missing an arm,william stryker, is watching a video playback from the arachnamech Twitch had destroyed.

So. There are other aliens in the area. Friends of yours?william stryker asked.

[Hardtop is shown. He's tied down, and the arachnamechs are crawling on him and doing something to his arm and shoulder.]

Aw, come on, man. I don't even know those guys.hardtop said.

[The arachnamechs finish what they're doing– Hardtop's arm is separated from his body and carried away.]

There's an Autobot code against torture, you know.hardtop said.

Oh, I'm no Autobot. Or one of their pathetic allies. You're about to help me become so much more.william stryker said.


With the others:

Aja,krell,Twitch, and Thrash sneaking around the boonchuy house after dark.

Coast is clear. Krell said.

Anne's fell asleep on her students' essays again.

[Each of them looks through the window as they pass by. Anne is asleep at his desk inside.]

Aww. Twitch said.

who's that? Thrash said.

Let's go! aja said.

Wait till we tell her parents we adopted two Transformers like she did with us! Aja said.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Aja, we can't tell Dad,Mom,Anne,Logan,the planters or the realm defenders. Krell said.

How come? aja asked.

Think about it. We're just teenagers. These are two totally new Transformers born on Earth. They'll take them away.krell said.

Fine we'll take them to castle Camelot krell said

[aja and krell walk towards Twitch and Thrash.]

Krell open a portal to castle Camelot.


castle Camelot:

And in that sky, cleverly hidden thanks to a combination of magic and Akiridion tech, was Camelot.

This Camelot was different though. Where as in the original time-line the heart of Avalon was destroyed this one was not. However, thanks to Krel and Aja, the castle still received a great many upgrades mixing magic with their technology.

Aja,krell,Twitch, and Thrash came out of the portal.

You gotta hide here for tonight, okay? krell said.

[Twitch and Thrash's sadness about this is transmitted through the cyber-sleeves.]

Aww. You feel… Sade. Aja said.

You… don't want to be with us? Thrash asked.

No! We do. Listen, Thrash, aja was searching for a family member when we met you and Twitch. And now… you're the only reason I might stay. krell said.

[aja elbows krell in the side.]

…The second reason. Please just hide until morning.aja asked.

Then, we'll figure out how to make everything A-okay with our other parents, so you can stay with us forever! Aja said.

I sense hope. You mean what you say. Twitch said.

Right. Tomorrow, we'll show you what it means to be Transformers.aja said.

Hmm. Till then, check these out.Krell sail plays Transformers history video for Twitch and Thrash to watch.

You'll start to see why you're so special.aja said.

[Twitch and Thrash start watching the video, and aja and krell go back home.


the boonchuy house the next morning.

Inside, mr and mrs.boonchuy are making breakfast.

Every day, hon. It's a new beginning for all of us.Anne said.

Krell's was in his room. there is a knock at the window. Yawning, he walks over to answer it, and is startled by Twitch popping up. Thrash,aja,polly,sprig and Anne are also at the window.

aja said you like to sleep late. Why? That sounds so boring also we meet your Anne and planters.Twitch said.

No worries I won't tell mom or dad i didn't tell about the robot that tried to kill me and the planters anne said.

We watched your history videos! These Transformers guys are bananas! Thrash said.

Hm. Strange. They were vehicles in the video we watched. twitch said.

Yeah. Twitch and Thrash need a crash course in Transformer life. Anne said.

[Thrash falls over in the background.]

…With less crashing.sprig said.

Let's take them to gravesfield we tell arcee"aja said.

Okay krell they open a portal to gravesfield.


Later, in Los Angeles.

Scene changes to wolves truck. Oum boonchuy was driving with her father along the same road where aja and krell encountered the vehicles and arachnamechs the previous night, and the damaged vehicles are still on the road.

What in the world of what…? logan asked.

[they stops in front of the crash site and gets out of the truck to walk over, setting up traffic cones around the damaged vehicles, when Optimus Prime and arcee arrive in their altmodes. Dot puts out her hand to stop them, but the two Cybertronians transform and walk up to her, knocking over traffic cones.

Sorry, about the cones. OP's having… a day.chromia said.

Optimus tries and fails to put the traffic cones back up.

Which continues. This city may be in danger, Logan and Oum,boonchuy"Optimus said.

I help the x-men now,not Autobots. The war is over. And so is our association.Logan said.

Think of it as working for s.h.i.e.l.d. Optimus said.

My father's friend he word with in the war has a shield oum said.

s.h.i.e.l.d. is a secret military agency. The one we work with, to ensure safe Cybertronian-Earth relations.

s.h.i.e.l.d. created your job, to relocate you to their headquarters here.Optimus said.

So all this is a lie.Logan said.

We needed the best. A mysterious new enemy is threatening this town. One that attacks our convoys and abducts our prisoners.Optimus said.

Optimus holds up a broken arachnamech to show Logan.

You're telling me evil aliens,evil mutants and more of whatever this is, are right here in las angels? Oum asked.

chromia and Optimus don't answer, because an aircraft has just descended from the sky. The large gray spacecraft machine lands on the bridge near them and transforms– it's skyfire. He slowly walks closer, glaring down at Oum and Logan.

To be continued.
