Wheeljack walked towards the control panel and acres the Ark's files. "Ok everything seems to be alright." Wheeljack said.
"Excellent Wheeljack." Optimus Prime replied.
"But since we're stuck in this mountain we're not gonna be able to go anywhere." Ratchet said.
"I believe that may be a good solution for all of you." Lisa said as she stood next to Wheeljack. "If any members of the federal government were to learn of your existence, they would deem all of you as off-world invaders and attempt to terminate you all."
"The last thing we want to go offline by your kind." Arcee said.
"Well if you stick with us, we'll make sure the entire planet literally doesn't find out about you." Lori assured.
"Good to hear." Arcee replied.
Optimus, Ratchet, Arcee, Wheeljack, Lori and Lisa then turned their attention towards the other kids and their Autobot guardians as they were busy doing their own things.
"So, is this Ace Savvy a real person?" Bumblebee asked while holding a comic book of Lincoln's favourite superhero.
"No. He's just a fictional superhero that was created to entertain kids like me." Lincoln answered.
"Oh cool, he seems like a cool guy. Deal out some Justice classic." Bumblebee said.
"You should check out his other adventures and the other heroes." Lincoln said.
"There's more of them?" Bumblebee asked.
"Yeah. I even created my own superhero versions of me, Clyde and my sisters." Lincoln replied.
"Can you make me a superhero, too?" Bumblebee asked with a huge smile.
"I sure can." Lincoln said before they both high-fived.
"You know Sideswipe, since you have wheels for feet, you would have been pretty popular at the roller rink." Leni said.
"I'm already popular but giving Decepticons my signature cutting edge." Sideswipe replied as he displayed a pair of blades on his wrists.
"Oh I get." Leni said. "But have you ever considered getting a new colour like red?" Leni asked.
"So I'd end up looking like Cliffjumper or Mirage?" Sideswipe asked. "No thanks, Leni. I'm okay with clean silver."
"Well, I guess it does suit your style." Leni admitted.
Jazz was listening to some of Luna's music on Luna's phone. "This music sounds pretty rad." Jazz said.
"You think that's rad, bruh? You should listen to Play It Loud." Luna said.
Luna plays Play It Loud on her phone and Jazz was tapping his foot to the beat. "This is amazing!" Jazz said.
"I know! We can even make some new awesome songs!" Luna remarked.
"Sounds cool with me, girl!" Jazz stated.
"Okay, what do you get if you cross an elephant and a rhinoceros?" Luan asked Jetfire, who was looking very bored.
"What?" Jetfire asked with a sigh.
"A Elefino!" Luan said and laughed causing Jetfire to groan.
"Anyone willing to trade? Warpath what about you?" Jetfire asked.
"No way Jetfire. She's your problem." Warpath said.
"You've just gotta learn to live with Luan." Lynn added as she kept bouncing a soccer ball against Ironhide's palms.
"Nice kicks Lynn!" Ironhide said. "So they called this sport football?"
"Only in Europe. This is soccer." Lynn said.
"Well, perhaps you should try playing the Cybertronian game that we call Cube?" Ironhide suggested.
"I'll keep that in mind." Lynn replied.
Lucy and Prowl were simply meditating in the corner.
"So, you connect with human spirits?" Prowl asked.
"Yes. Mostly my Great Grandma Harriet." Lucy replied.
"Huh interesting." Prowl said.
"Do you have anyone to contact?" Lucy asked.
"Not that I can think of." Prowl answered.
"Okay." Lucy said.
"Hey, guys! Me and Bulk brought the pets here!" Lana said as Charles, Cliff, Geo and Walt suddenly barged in. "We thought it would be nice for them to help liven things up!"
"Just make sure none of them mess up the equipment." Blurr replied while holding Cliff by his tail.
Charles walked up to Ironhide and sniffed his foot before peeing on it.
"Ugh. That's gonna rust!" Ironhide said as he aimed his cannons at Charles.
"Wow, wow! Take it easy, Ironhide!" Lynn called out as she and Lana got in front of Charles.
"I'm just doing some harmless extermination." Ironhide said.
"Charles didn't mean any harm! He's the best dog in the whole world!" Lana stated. "Everyone loves dogs on Earth!"
"He's leaked lubricants all over my foot." Ironhide retorted.
"He didn't mean to do it!" Lana protested,
"Keep him away from my foot next time." Ironhide siad.
"Relax, Ironhide. Lana and I will keep a close eye on him." Bulkhead assured.
"You better." Ironhide said.
"So, how am I supposed to do this?" Cliffjumper asked in annoyance as he was busy making Lola's hair into a French braid.
"You're suppose to make a French braid. Didn't you watch the video!?" Lola asked.
"I didn't understand the way those human fingers were moving!" Cliffjumper argued.
"Ugh! This is exactly why I prefer Linky to braid my hair." Lola muttered annoyingly.
"I'm a soldier and Im making a braid for some human." Cliffjumper muttered under his breath,
"It's literally official. Those two hate each other." Lori said.
"True." Arcee agreed.
"So anything about you I should know?" Lori asked.
"I have a history of beating up Cons and getting the job done when it needs to." Arcee answered.
"You're literally a good conversationalist." Lori said.
"I get that a lot." Arcee said casually.
"So, what sort of scientific wonders have you designed for the good of your species?" Lisa asked Wheeljack in curiosity.
"Hmm let's see I've done a lot of things to help the Autobots out." Wheeljack said.
"Like what?" Lisa asked.
"Well, I've made the Heavy Ion weapons for Ironhide to try out, a Triage Shield to help keep the others protected and cloaked, and a Shock Blast Cannon for myself." Wheeljack explained. "But, that last one ended up exploding on me. Literally."
"I too have a habbit of my experiments blowing up on me as well." Lisa replied.
"I guess that means we've got a lot in common, then." Wheeljack admitted.
"Indeed." Lisa agreed.
Just then, everyone turned their attention to Grimlock as the robotic T-Rex was tossing Lily up and down on his tail.
"Me Grimlock starting to like baby human, now." Grimlock said.
"Poo poo!" Lily said happily.
"Grimlock likes you too." Grimlock said.
"Glad to see those two getting along." Ultra Magnus said.
"Hey, where's Mirage and Hot Shot?" Lincoln asked.
"They are on patrol in Great Lakes City." Ultra Magnus said.
"We thought it would be best to navigate our surroundings and report back to us on what they discovered." Optimus explained.
"We have some friends in Great Lakes City." Lincoln said. "They have a problem down there."
"What are the odds that your friends are gonna recognise Mirage and Hot Shot anyway?" Bumblebee asked. "We can scan new vehicle modes and take their shape. We'll be able to blend right in with the humans."
"I literally hope you're right." Lori admitted.
Hot Shot and Mirage are in hiding in an alleyway. "We need to keep a low profile around here." Mirage said.
"Easy for you to say. You having cloaking." Hot Shot said.
"We can still become robots in disguise." Mirage replied before noticing a red 2011 Ferrari 458 Italia car. "That will do."
Mirage scanned the car and transformed into the same red Ferrari. "Whoa nice!" Hot Shot complimented.
"I picked a good form." Mirage smirked,
"Yeah, and so did I." Hot Shot replied before he scanned a nearby sports car and transformed into a yellow version of it.
"Okay, let's get this little patrol over with so we can get back to base." Mirage said before they both drove off.
"This place ain't so bad." Hot Shot said as he drove down the streets.
"Just stay alert. There could be Decepticons hidden in this city." Mirage warned.
"Yeah yeah I know." Hot Shot replied.
Pretty soon, the two Autobots made a left turn and they arrived at a large apartment building with a shop at the bottom floor.
"I think Lori told me about this place." Hot Shot said,
"What did she say about it?" Mirage asked.
"That her boyfriend lives here in his family." Hot Shot answered.
"They live in a market building?" Mirage asked.
"That's what she said. She also mentioned that her boyfriend's little sister and Lincoln are in love, but they refuse to admit it." Hot Shot said.
"Hm I doubt it." Mirage said.
The two of them put on their breaks and parked right next to the apartment building
"I guess this is a good place to rest, for now." Mirage said.
"Come on, Mirage, what could happen?" Hot Shot asked before the apartment doors opened.
Walking out of it were two young humans. The first was a teenage boy wearing a green sweater and a pair of dark blue jeans. And the second was a younger girl with black hair tied into a ponytail and she was wearing a purple sweater.
"Looks like the coast is clear." said the teenage boy.
"Bobby I doubt the cats will attack us." Said the girl.
"You sure, Ronnie Anne? You never know when they're gonna pounce." Bobby said.
"If they do show up, we'll just run like hell." Ronnie Anne replied before noticing Mirage and Hot Spot in their vehicle modes. "Hey, check out those cool cars."
"Is that a Ferrari? Man someone must be loaded." Bobby said.
"I can say the same for this car." Ronnie Anne said referring to Hot shot.
"Mirage, what do we do?" Hot Shot asked, keeping his voice very low.
"Don't do anything." Mirage whispered.
"How's about we take a look inside them?" Ronnie Anne suggested. "I'll check out the Ferrari and you get the sports car."
"Ok but we don't want to damage them. The owners would not be happy with them." said Bobby.
"As if I'd be able to drive an awesome like that this." Ronnie Anne said as she approached Mirage and opened his door.
"What are you doing Nei Nei? What if the owner comes back!?" Bobby asked in concern.
"They won't know. Just a quick look." Ronnie Anne said.
"Fine. But if the cops show up, I'm telling them this was your idea." Bobby replied before getting inside Hot Shot.
"Scrap." Mirage and Hot Shot whispered.
Back at the Ark, Ratchet was seen working at a Cybertronian computer that showed the entire planet on screen. But then, the computer began showing three separate blue dots on Earth.
"Energon signals? On Earth?" Ratchet asked.
"That's impossible!?" Wheeljack exclaimed.
"There's enough Energon to last us a lifetime." Red Alert replied.
"What's Energon?" Lincoln asked.
"It's our life force and the stuff we use to power our technology." Wheeljack explained.
"So, it's basically a Cybertronian version of blood?" Lana asked.
"Yes." Ultra Magnus said, "We're gonna need to dispatch teams to recover Energon."
"In that case, we should call Mirage and Hot Shot." Bumblebee replied.
Ratchet walked up the computer and patched into Hot Shot and Mirage's comms. "Mirage, Hot Shot do you read me? Return to base!" Ratchet said.
At the same time, Ronnie Anne and Bobby were still checking our Mirage and Hot Shot inside their vehicle forms.
Ronnie Anne looks at the steering wearing and see a weird symbol on the steering wheel. "What the hell is that?" Ronnie Anne asked.
"What do you see, Nie Nie?" Bobby asked.
"Just some weird symbol on the steering wheel." Ronnie Anne answered.
"Mirage! Hot Shot! A voice called out over the radios. "Return to base right away!"
"What the?! Who said that?!" Ronnie Anne asked in shock.
"I heard it, too!" Bobby called out. "Who's Mirage and Hot Shot?!"
The car doors locked and drove off. "What the heck?" Bobby asked.
"Hey! What's going on?!" Ronnie Anne asked in shock as she repeatedly pressed on the breaks. "It won't stop! It's driving by itself!"
"Stop the car! Stop the car!" Bobby shouted as he he tried to hit the brakes but they weren't responding. "I want to get off!
"This was a bad idea!" Ronnie Anne exclaimed as they reached the city exit and drove into the woods.
"This was your idea!" Bobby retorted.
"Will both of you be quiet?! I'm trying to drive!" Mirage scolded.
"W-who said that?!" Ronnie Anne demanded.
"Just fasten your seatbelts and enjoy the ride." Mirage said as seatbelt latched onto Bobby and Ronnie Anne.
"This isn't a joyride! This is kidnapping!" Bobby panicked.
"You're not giving us much of a choice, pal!" Hot Shot retorted.
Pretty soon, the two Autobots drove up to the mountain and they entered through the cave before the Ark was in the sight.
"Slow down! Slow down!" Ronnie Anne pleaded worriedly. "I don't wanna crash!"
"Just brace yourself." Mirage said before hitting the breaks, letting Ronnie Anne roll out of him.
Hot Shot braked right next to his fellow Autobot and Bobby was tossed out of his seat, landing next to Ronnie Anne.
Mirage and Hot Shot transformed into their robot modes. "This is not good." Hot Shot said.
"It is their fault." Mirage said.
Ronnie Anne and Bobby only stared at the Autobots with astonishes expressions, unsure of what to say.
"I think we broke them." Hot Shot muttered.
"Oh really?" Mirage asked sarcastically.
"Optimus is gonna be really mad about this!" Hot Shot said.
"Look, humans, we don't wanna cause any trouble for you." Mirage said. "We were just minding our business back in that city of yours before you decided to invade our privacy."
"Uh… sorry?" Ronnie Anne said.
"You should apologize for kidnapping us!" Bobby shouted.
"Hey that was her fault!" Mirage pointed at Ronnie Anne.
"She's the one who chose to get inside Mirage." Hot Shot admitted with a shrug.
"How was I supposed to know you were robots that turn into cars?!" Ronnie Anne asked rhetorically.
"How do we know you're not carjackers?" Mirage retorted.
"Scrap! Someone's coming!" Hot Shot exclaimed.
"Who?" Ronnie Anne questioned.
"The others." Mirage said with a sigh before the Ark's main doors opened up.
The Autobots exited the Ark, among them was Optimus Prime. "There's more of you guys?" Ronnie Anne questioned.
"Yeah, they're our pals." Hot Shot answered as the Autobots approached them.
"Well, look at what we've got here." Jazz said while staring down at Ronnie Anne and Bobby.
"This is a bit unexpected." Bulkhead said.
"Are we like a magnet for humans?" Warpath questioned.
"It's best not to question it." Prowl said.
"Mirage, Hot Shot, what have you done?" Arcee questioned with her arms crossed.
"You brought two more humans here?" Ratchet asked.
"Guys, it's all okay." Hot Shot said with his hands up in defence.
"We can explain this." Mirage assured.
"Optimus and I ordered both of you to stay hidden." Ultra Magnus said firmly.
"We know, but these two decided to get inside of our vehicle forms without any respect for personal space." Mirage replied while frowning at Ronnie Anne.
"We wanted to check you guys out." Ronnie Anne sheepishly shrugged.
"Please don't confine us to the Ark for this, Optimus." Hot Shot said with a nervous smile.
Optimus said nothing as he approached Bobby and Ronnie Anne, bending down to them.
"Who are you, young ones?" Optimus asked.
"My name is Bobby Santiago. And this my sister Ronnie Anne!" Bobby replied.
"Hey there, big fella." Ronnie Anne greeted nervously.
"Bobby and Ronnie Anne? Aren't those the names of Lori's boyfriend and Lincoln's girlfriend?" Bumblebee asked.
"Lincoln's not my boyfriend!" Ronnie Anne shouted.
"You sure?" Bumblebee asked.
"Well, Lori told me they were a thing." Arcee admitted.
"Wait, how do all of you know Lori and Lincoln?" Bobby asked in surprise.
"Boo Boo Bear?" A familiar voice asked.
Bobby and Ronnie Anne looked ahead to see the Louds and Clyde approaching them and the Autobots.
"Babe!" Bobby said happily before rushing up to Lori and embracing her.
"Boo boo bear?" Blurr asked.
"Lori's nickname for Bobby." Arcee replied.
"Ronnie Anne!" Lincoln called out. "Man, it's good to see you."
"Lincoln, what the heck is going on? Who are those giant robots?" Ronnie Anne asked quietly.
"They're the Autobots. They're giant alien robots from another planet." Lincoln explained,
"We helped them against these bad robots called the Decepticons and now they're doing this secret war on our planet." Lynn added.
"You can't have your war somewhere else, we pretty much live on this planet?" Bobby asked.
"Nah our ship is caved in." Bulkhead said.
"And since the Louds helped us, they're pretty much targets in the Decepticons' optics." Jetfire added.
"You're kidding right?" Ronnie Anne asked.
"We're not." Ironhide said.
"So what we're gonna have to hide here now?" Bobby asked.
"For the time being." Optimus said. "If you are friends of Lincoln and Lori, then we can trust you to help us."
"Well, I guess hanging out with alien robots couldn't hurt." Ronnie Anne admitted.
"Glad you two are on board." Lincoln said with a smile.
"Does this mean they get Autobot guardians like us?" Lana asked.
"It appear that way." Optimus Prime said.
"So who's going to be stuck with them?" Blurr asked.
"How about Mirage and Hot Shot?" Cliffjumper suggested. "They're the ones who brought them here."
"I think that sounds right." Ultra Magnus said.
"I can live with that." Hot Shot said. "Making new friends is kinda like a hobby to me."
"Fine. I just hope that girl doesn't make another mistake." Mirage muttered under his breath.
"Very well. Hot Shot you will be Bobby's guardian and Mirage will be Ronnie Anne's guardian." Optimus Prime stated.
"So that means they're gonna be far from the Ark?" Red Alert questioned.
"It was a long drive home." Mirage admitted.
"Well, we literally speak from experience." Lori said.
"We can live with that." Bobby assured.
"For sure." Ronnie Anne added.
"Now that everything's been settled, I think it's time we get down to the mission at hand." Ratchet admitted.
"Whatever you say, Ratch." Wheeljack replied before everyone began walking back to the Ark.
"Man, our lives just keep getting crazier with these Bots." Lincoln said.
"Took the words right out of my mouth, Lincoln." Clyde replied.
A/N: Hey so this was pretty much the Autobots bonding with the Louds. I know you guys are craving some action. You'll get it in due time. Fear not. Please read and review.
