Here's the next chapter, before the last one I'll be doing a little chapter where we get to see the transformers prime characters get their own dragons. Now I already have my own list thanks to a fanfic friend's help. but I am open for suggestions so come up with some dragons in the comment section and I'll think about it but no promises.
Intro: (song) "Transformers! More than meets the eye! Transformers! Robots in disguise!" Optimus Prime with axe in hand, Tom, Jack and Thunder beside him breathing lightning. Ratchet with his hands transformed into swords fighting Deceptacons with D'Angelo, Miko and Plowhorn fighting beside him. Bulkhead bashing with his wrecking ball fist June and her dragon Wu and Wei fighting with ice and fire. Bumblebee with his right arm laser gun and left arm a sword with Alex, Raf and Feathers beside him. "Autobots wage their battle to destroy the evil forces of the Deceptacons!" Blizwing, destroying buildings. Lugnut lifting a bulldozer over his head. And Galvatron leading his army. The Team Prime and modern Dragon Riders lined shoulder to shoulder in the Hidden World. "Transformers! (Robot voice) Transformers!"
Inside the Hidden World aboard the Ark, Optimus Prime calls for a meeting with the Maximals. Optimus Prime says to the animal transformers: "Maximals as you know, we have re-introduced human culture into the world of transformers. Little by little will be reintroducing all of us to humanity. So for the time being you need to spend time with them." Optimal Optimus replies in agreement: "Sounds great. This way when they get to know us, as a species and as individuals we can better understand and trust one another."
Blackarachnia questions: "Wait, hold on. What do we look like, babysitters? Some of these humans are teenagers and a kid." Nightscream states: "Well if you ask me, it'll be nice. I'm sick of being treated as the youngest." Cheetor also agrees with the idea: "Besides these humans aren't like the rest. Where they destroy their own environments or animals. These kind are willing to protect the dragons and our secret." Silverbolt agrees with the two youths: "They do have a point. Besides it was only a matter of time the humans would find us."
Rattrap states his concerns: "Yeah. And unlike these kids, whay uf their parents find out about us? Folwer and some of his government buddies can keep a secret. But once we're found out, they'll cut us loos." Optimal Optimus replies to all of their responds: "I know you have your opinions. But I too believe in the best of humanity." Botanica questions: "But why? And why are we fighting for them? They are a still primitive and violent race." Optimus Prime replies with a question: "Were we so different from them? They're still a young species. They have much to learn." The group took in his words of wisdom and decide to go along with his orders. "And besides, we come from a future where Autobots and Decepticons worked along side, with, and against humans. We should join in, we could even try to help save their future." Tigertron points out: "Normally we're not suppose to change certain histories. But this could be one of those with exceptions." The group took the words under considerations.
Flying in the fissure is Tom, June and D'Angelo on their dragons Thunder, Wu, Wei and Plowhorn. In the sky thunder clouds sounds were made, the black and white dragon looks up to see the thunder clouds and goes to fly up, Tom says to his dragon: "Wow, wow! No pal! Where you going?" The two dragon riders stop, D'Angelo asks Tom: "What's wrong with Thunder?" Tom answers: "I don't know. He trying to fly up into the clouds." He turns back to his dragon, "We can't go up there buddy. Someone might see you." The dragon stops, seeing lighting in the air. One moment he's happy but then his expression changes to sadness.
Tom hears something turns, to see helicopter's lights, Tom says to Thunder: "Quick, hide!" They flew down back into the fissure just before the helicopter pilots can see them. The entire dragon riding group hides in the fissure. They waited until the chopper passes them, after it does the group emerges from their hiding spots, June says to her friends: "That was close. They could have seen us." They flew through the fissure unknown to them someone or something was watching them, the creature's eyes open seeing the three youths and their dragons. It carefully watches them and follows without making a sound.
In Alex's room, she's on her computer deciphering the image on she got from the fissure's drone, but it's still too fuzzy to make out. Alex speaks her mind regarding the image: "Definitely something weird flying around, out there." She turns the screen to see Tom running along with Jack and Miko behind him. "Wendy how many times Tom's gone through the perimeter sensors?" Wendy the computer's voice answers: "9 times. 10 if you count the sheep diversion." Alex leans back and openly asks: "What are you up too Tomas Kullersen? And what does Miko and Jack have to do with it?"
The door opens revealing Carla Gonzalez and her wife Hazel. Carla is a brown skinned woman with brown eyes. Her hair is the same colors as her daughter, being brown and blonde at the ends. She wears golden hoop earrings. Carla is a tall woman with brown hair and green eyes. She wears blue glasses. They both wear long sleeved green overalls with boots as their work uniforms, along with black belts. Carla says to Alex: "Hello Mia." Hazel adds: "We've got some great news. Well more of a good news bad news thing." Carla continues: "The bad news our lil earthquake problem has stopped our work at the station. The good news is we've got the evening off." Hazel finishes: "Yah! And we want you to come along on an existing adventure we've planed." Alex questions: "This 'adventure' it wouldn't happen to take place outside, would it?"
The two lesbians look to each other, Carla answers: "Well yes. But we won't be do anything dangerous, we're gonna catch some fireflies." Before Alex could answer another earthquake hits. "Earthquake!" Hazel says to her family: "Engage safety protocols!" She and her wife puts on her helmet and hide under the table while Alex turns on her shock absorbers on her seat. The shaking lasted for a few seconds before stopping, including Alex's seat. After emerging from the table Carla asks Alex: "So what do you say? Wanna catch some fireflies?"
Alex replies with a question: "We're just gonna ignore that major earthquake?" Hazel reassures her: "We've lived in California. Earthquake are like rainstorms." The first Lesbian says to her daughter: "But if you need, to talk about your feelings we're happy to do that. During our evening firefly walk." Alex replies: "I feel…I should stay here. Enjoy your walk." She returns to her computer as the two leave, but one puts down the flashlight on the bed. Hazel says to Alex: "Incase you change your mind." As the two leave the room, Carla says to her wife Hazel: "I just wish she had one good friend."
Back in Alex's room, she stares at her computer still, but slowly turns to the flashlight, but back to the screen with Tom, Jack and Miko on it. Feeling frustrated but gets up off her chair, hesitates to pick up the flashlight, but sighs then picks it up and leaves. After she left unknown to her, the window opens. The one who opened it was the mini-con Brains he's a small transformer with three fingers two eyes, the left one bigger than the other and had stringy blue hair. Brains says: "Phew. I thought she never leave." He jumps onto the table then Alex computer Wendy who says: "Intruder alert. Unauthorized entry."
The minicon says: "Wow, AI. Didn't see that one." He opens one of the drawers seeing Alex's laptop. "Dell Inspiron 15 3000 laptop. Girl's got taste." He scans the laptop, puts it back into the drawer, limps to the bed. Wendy still says: "Still unauthorized entry. Please leave immediately." Brains climbs up to the top, turns to Wendy and replies: "Don't worry, I won't be long. But come back when I have some sleep baby." He winks to the computer who cyber blushes a bit, then Brains transformers into the laptop.
Inside the cave where Tigertron and Rhinox were with the new Dragon Riders and the other human allies Tom says: "Ok, so Rhinox says he will introduce us to his teammates." The group looks to the rhino bot, who says: "Yes. Since we're going to be working together, you should know our full team." Tigertron adds: "This way we increase our chances to help in the outside world." Just then emerging from the shadows are the Maximals, Optimal Optimus, Cheetor, Rattrap, Silverbolt, Blackarachnia, Botanica, Airazor and Nightscream. They were amazed by their appearance. Miko says to Optimal Optimus: "Wow! You're huge!"
Optimal Optimus replies: "Why thank you. I guess." Raf walks up and asks: "So how are you guys different from regular transformers?" Botanica answers: "You see, we Maximals are actually from the future, we are the Autobots descendants. And unlike out predecessors we take the forms of animals but unlike my colleagues I took the form of plant based life form." Jack turns to Silverbolt and says to him: "I hate to sound rude, but what happened to you?" The wolf-eagle griffin answers: "Well, my transformation circuits were a bit dysfunctional. So instead of one beast form I have a fusion of two. I'm called a Fuzor."
June asks: "If you're from the future, why didn't you help us in war or any other bad thing throughout human history?" Optimal Optimus answers: "At first we couldn't risk changing anymore than we've already been doing." June asks again: "But why do you need a 'beast mode' as you would call it?" Optimal Optimus answers: "In the beginning were meant to be robots in disguise. But in the area and timeline where we were ship wrecked, had raw engeron. It is the fuel and life-blood of all Cybertronians. But too much of it, would've caused us to overload and shut down." Rattrap adds: "So we needed to wear these fur coats just to shield us from overdose on the stuff that keeps us alive." D'Angelo questions lasts: "But why do most of you look more robotic than animalistic?"
Airazro answers: "You see, turns out, we weren't the only ones who came to your planet." Blackarachnia adds: "Another alien species called the Vok who's been observing your planet since early anthropoids. They watched you grow both as a species and as a civilization." Optimus Primal adds: "But apparently the fighting with us Cybertronians between the Autobots and Decepticons and those in between and us Maximals from the future disrupted the time flow." Fowler asks: "So let me guess, they weren't happy with the destruction you guys caused." Optimus finishes: "Yep. Soon we got a visit from the land lord. And boy they weren't too happy. In fact they were about to destroy earth until we stopped them. The radiation caused some of us to become transmetals. This is mine and Cheetor's third from. But that's another story."
Tom says switching the subject: "Okay, so with that out of the way. Let's talk about keep ourselves hidden, to June's point we gotta be more careful. Keeping the dragons and Transformers hidden is the most important." June questions: "What do you suggest?" Rattrap adds: "Yeah, no one's gonna over look some winged reptiles, and a few of us can't exactly blend in as we use to. Plus I'm confident this place doesn't have rhinos, Siberian white tigers. But hawks and bats and be overlooked, unless they're close range." Tom answers by stepping behind a stalactite: "Hiding techniques. Watch this." He turns to Thunder, "Okay pal, time for the old 'boom-boom-goodbye tricks'." Thunder smiles, flies up the circles around spits out a cloud of his fire and passes through it turning invisible. June says in amazement: "Wow. That was sick!" Raf agrees: "I know. He just disappeared into thin air."
D'Angelo questions: "Where did he go?" Thunder reappears behind D'Angelo who duck as the dragon flew over him. Thunder crashes into Tom and begins to lick his face. Tom comments his dragon: "Nice one pal. See? You just need to train your dragons to do that." June replies: "Yeah, except our dragons don't breath lighting." The Chinese girl turns to her two headed ice and fire dragon, "But we got a few moves of our own. Behold the ancient power of the mysterious water dragon." Blackarachnia groans as she puts her hand on her face and speaks her mind: "She's even more cornier than Silverbolt." Nightscream agrees: "No arguments here." June whispers to Wu and Wei: "Okay, let's try our new steam cloud getaway trick remember? Woosh!" Wu breaths ice on June, the Wei breaths hot air on her. "Yeah, not the way we practiced."
D'Angelo was ready with his dragon: "This is how you go, full ninja. Do what I do girl." So The young army Ranger veterinarian hides behind a stalactite. "Hide!" While he hides behind one large enough, Plowhorn does the same but the one next to him was too skinny, (whispers) No, no, no! Duck down, duck down!" She begins to use her back legs to dig, which he feels embarrassed a bit. June sarcastically says: "Wow it's like Plowhorn completely disappeared." Jack jokingly walks up and says: "Yeah. Hey! Where'd she go?" Plowhorn roars in responds, "Who or what said that?" He said with his hand over his eyes like he's searching for the dragon. Cheetor speaks his mind: "(Sigh) This is gonna take a lot of work." D'Angelo states: "So we'll practice. When we're done, our dragons will the best hiders in all of dragon kind." Rattrap states: "If I was you, I start showin' them how to hide in plain sight." Still unknown to them, the mysterious creature was watching them.
Outside Alex with her tablet and flashlight in hands called out: "Tom? Tom, where are you?" She looks at the tracking beacon on her map on her tablet screen. "Okay, okay I can do this. Tom? Tom where are you?"
In the cave they hear Alex's voice Optimal Optimus says regarding Alex: "Well that's just Prime. Someone must've followed you guy." Rattrap questions sarcastically: "You think fearless leader?" Tom says to the group: "Let's go check it out." Tom, June, D'Angelo mount on their dragons along with Miko, Folwer, Jack and Raf. The Maximals transforms into beast mode and all exit the cave, the invisible creature still follows them.
The humans and Transforming robot animals in robot mode look to see who's following them. Tom says in disbelief: "No way, it's Alex." Blackarachnia asks Tom: "Do you know, this young female human?" D'Angelo answers: "Yep. That's Alex Gonzolaz, she's another teen member of the Icarus project. Her parents work here. But I thought she never left her room." Botanica asks: "Why is that?" Raf answers: "Well, she's a computer hacker, like me. But unlike her I do get out." D'Angelo questions: "What is she doing out here?" The group slowly creeps up closer without making a sound.
Unknown to anyone Alex was now being followed by the invisible creature as well. The group stop a few feet away, Tom whispers: "She's about to discover the lair." Folwer says in a worried tone: "This cannot be good. No way we can cover this up in time." June says her opinion: "Maybe we just tell her the truth. Let her into Dragon Club." Tom stands up and replies: "Dragon club isn't looking for new members June. If a lot of people know, it's not really a secret." Cheetor agrees: "Yeah we're trying to keep a low profile. You don't go blabbering after everybody you know." D'Angelo disagrees with them: "Yeah, that's how secrets work." Silverbolt also agrees with the alternative: "He makes a valued point. If she knows, we must make sure she doesn't tell another soul." Tom replies to both: "First off; Silverbolt you stay out of this. Second; this is coming from the kid who told his parents everything." D'Angelo replies: "Fortunately for us my parents think I'm insane." June passes between them and says: "Uh…guys?"
They look to see Thunder, Wu, Wei, and Plowhorn following Alex right behind her, Cheetor says: "You've got to be kidding me." He places his hand on his face. D'Angle whimpers: "Code Red!" Rattrap says: "Oh man, those oversized newts are gonna blow our cover!" Tigertron says: "We must stop them before it's too late." The Maximal rushes from behind to grab the dragons before Alex can see them.
Alex stands over the lair, and calls out: "Tom?" She looks closer inside the cave entrance. "Tom? You in there? Hello? Hello!" The dragons still crept up to her, until the Maximals grab and tries to stop them, but the dragon resisted. "My lil toaster tracker says you're down there." Rattrap stops and questions: "Wait, did she say lil toaster tracker?" Botanica says: "Indeed she did." Optimal Optimus whispers: "Shoosh! We're suppose to be quiet." Blackarachina adds also whispering: "Yeah, so be quiet as a mouse." Thunder frees himself from Cheetor's hold.
Alex growing tired and says to herself: "Of course he's not in there. This is silly. I'm going home." She stands, walks back until she bumps into Thunder. She touches his face from behind, turns around seeing the dragons and Maximals. Thunder showing his teeth smiles, Cheetor simply says: "Uh…hi?" Blackarachnia, Silverbolt, Tigertron and Rattrap covers their faces in embarrassment and groan.
Alex turns to her right and simply says: "Okay then." As she walks the transformers and dragons watched her leave. Silverbolt says of Alex's reaction: "She took it well." Rattrap says to him: "Wait for it." After walking three feet, she then starts screaming wailing her arms in the air and runs. "There she goes!" Nightscream adds: "Yeah, like who didn't see that comin'."
The human Dragon riders emerges from the bushes, June says regarding Alex: "Well looks like she might be a member of Dragon Club. Whether we want her or not." Folwer states of another idea: "Or I can get a rag of chloroform over her face and let her think it was all but a dream." Jack asks: "Is that your solution to every problem you federal agents can think of?" The federal agent replies with a question: "What? You want me to kill her?" Jack disregards that idea: "No, no, no. Chloroform sounds like a better idea." Tom says to the group: "Let's just get the dragons back in the lair and then will deal with Alex." Optimal Optimus agrees with Tom's ideal: "A wise decision. Besides after seeing us she's probably gonna have a freak attack. And we may want to keep the chloroform rag as a back up plan."
As the dragon riders mount on their dragons, the invisible creature watches Alex still fleeing for her life.
Soon Alex returns home, and closes the door, she pants in and out rapidly. Alex says to herself in denial of what she saw: "You're safe. Obviously you're having an elusive dream. You never even went outside. You've been here the whole time. Safely in your dome." She throws her flashlight to the floor still in shocked. "Also part of the dream."
The floor begins to creek, then a pot with a plant in it falls down, which spooks her. Then the coffee pot moves by itself, them the dishes and a bowl of apples. She turns around seeing the window open, and she sighs in relief. "Just the wind." She picks up her phone presses it on the screen, causing it to close.
Then a loud bag was made which still frightens her, the door to her room opens. "Hello?" A voice mimics her responds: "Hello." Alex looks into the room but still close to the door. Alex asks: "Moms?" She walks into the room still frightened out of her wits. "Mamas?" She looks into her bathroom and no one was in.
She opens the bookshelf door leading into her room, she enters still no one in sight. She notice her laptop on the bed. "Okay, okay, okay. Just breath Alex. You're fine. In fact you're just probably overly tired. Yeah, yeah, yeah! Too much fresh air. Let's just go to bed." She jumps onto her bed, her laptop in her arms. She hides under her blankets, "Lights off Wendy!" Wendy replies: "Good night Alex." She turns off the lights and shuts herself off. Alex whimpers in fear, them the door slowly opens by a crack light. She hides underneath the blankets. "This is my safe space. This is my safe space. This is my safe space…" She stops in mid sentence and thinks for a moment. "Wait a second. This is all Tom I bet. Some kind of twisted prank." She removes the covers, "Kullersen you better…" She stops again in mid sentence to see the creature which happens to be a dragon with teal green scales and yellow eyes, she screams and the dragon screams with her before turning invisible again. "It's real! It's real! It's defiantly real!"
Then her laptop says: "Well of corse it's real." She turns to her laptop and asks: "Wendy? What happened to you?" Then her laptop transforms into Brains who says: "Hey there. Name's Brains I'm a minicon totally different from your electronic stuff. Wendy only exists are your computer and laptop and Tablet." The Latino girl screams, Brains screams back, "What? What are we screaming about?" Alex pants and says: "My laptop, just turned into a tiny robot." Brains corrects her: "Well technically speaking, I'm a minicon." He holds out his hand to shake her, but she's still shocked by all of this, then a knock on the door. "Oh crap, I gotta hide." He jumps into the drawer, "Remember you never saw me." He closes the drawer.
Alex rushes out of her room to her front door, she opens it and outside are Tom, June, D'Angelo, Raf, Miko and Jack. Tom greets her: "Hey Alex. Sorry for just dropping in like this. But you wouldn't believe what we saw in the woods." D'Angelo plays along: " yeah, a bunch of weirdo mountain kids wearing silly costumes. Teenagers, am I right?" Miko adds: "Yeah, totally silly if not stupid. What is it? Like early Halloween?" Alex questions: "What are you people talking about?! Those aren't teenagers, those are monsters! And there's two in my bedroom." She fearfully stated as she points to her room.
The youthful teens enter the room, June turns on the room lights, they see nothing inside. They turn around, June says to her: "Alex, there's nothing in there." Jack adds in agreement: "Yeah, it looks pretty empty to me." D'Angelo questions: "Are you feeling okay?" Raf in a concern tone asks: "You're not hallucinating anything are you?" Tom says as he walks to the kitchen: "Can I get you some water?" Alex frustratingly replies: "No I don't need water. And no I am not feeling OK or hallucinating. One of these things has feathers, a beak and can turn invisible. The other one was a tiny robot, with blue stringy hair and turned into my laptop, or it was my laptop. Anyway there's a robot in my drawer." Tom turns around a acts like it's a joke: "Turn invisible? That's crazy." Raf walks into Alex's room D'Angelo states: "Dragons don't turn invisible." He gasp and covers his mouth, Jack says regarding D'Angelo: "You have got to be kidding me. We're not suppose to tell." Tom gives the hand signal to be quiet Alex questions: "Wait, who said anything about dragons?"
Raf looks through the drawers until he finds Brains, and picks him up while he's says: "Hey put me down! I'm a sentient robotic organism. I have rights." Raf brings him out and asks: "Is this the guy you were talking about?" The Latino girl replies to the Hispanic boy: "Yep. That's one of the them." The minicon says: "Hey! I told you, not to telly anyone." Alex replies to Brains: "I never said I agree." Then they look up to see Thunder entering from the ceiling window. Tom says his dragon: "Thunder! No, go away!" The black and white dragon does sneak away, and the ceiling window closes, Alex rushes but trips over the invisible creature's tail, which causes it to screech.
The screech was so loud they had to cover their ears, Miko says: "Well I guess we found your invisible monster. And boy is he loud." The invisible creature even creates sonic sound rings. Brains yells: "Hey! Will you please shut up!" The creature does stop but by its own free will. June says: "It is an invisible dragon." Jack states the dragon's capability: "It must act as some kind of camouflage. To avoid being attacked by predators, or any other threats that would harm it." Tom questions: "What's it doing here?" Raf also questions: "And while we're on subject, why's he here." He asks regarding Brains.
Alex answers for both: "Listen, I don't know what you're talking about. But I want you to get these things out, right now." She said in a demanding town, Brains says: "Hey, I came in here just to see what this whole town was like and to find an alternate form. Just because you say you want me out, doesn't mean you can tell me. I ain't your toy and I ain't your pet. I'm a intergalactic sentient robotic organism." Then a sound of giggling is heard, D'Angelo tells everyone to be quiet: "Shush. Do you hear that?" Tom walks to the window to see Alex's moms. Tom says in a worried tone: "Oh no, its your moms." Brains says also worried: "Uh oh. Time to hide." He transforms into the laptop in Raf's arms. Alex yells: "Moms!" Tom tries to reason with Alex: "No, Alex wait! The dragons and Transformers are a secret. We can't tell anyone. Just like Ciniba538 is a secret." June says agreement: "If people knew about the dragons and transformers, it would put them in danger." Tom asks Alex: "Can we trust you?"
The door handle turns and the lesbian couple enters the dome house. Carla asks Alex: "Sweetie have you changed your mind?" She gasp seeing the other teenagers in their dome thinking she finally made friends. "Alex…" Hazel adds: "I can't believe it." At first they were concern, but then it changes, Carla says in joyous tone: "You have friends over." Tom plays along: "Yeah. It's a movie party. Right Alex?" The young Latino girl feels like she wants to tell the truth, but the others also trust her to keep the secret. So Alex goes along with it, and says: "Right. A movie party." Her acting wasn't convincing but her moms believed it still. Carla gathers the kids to sit down, while the dragon watches in the rafters.
Hazel looking through the pantry while saying: "No cinematic bonding experience would be complete without (sing-song) salty treats." She puts a bag of popcorn in the microwave and a large red bowl next to her.
At the TV, Carla says as she flickers channels: "We get all sorts of movies on this thing. Action, comedy, fantasy ho… how about a monster movie?"Alex says sarcastically: "Yeah, that appropriate." She said looking at the rafters thinking the invisible dragon is still up there. The popcorn finished popping, Hazel takes them out, opens the bag and pours the popcorn into the bowl, the invisible dragon leans down to her and mimics the microwave ding. This gained her attention at first but joins the youths, her wife and daughter. The dragon was now on the floor and repeatedly mimics the dinging noise. Hazel says as she gives the Bowl to D'Angelo: "Our microwave appears to be malfunctioning." The two mothers go to the kitchen, Carla states: "No telling watch wrong with this thing." Hazel with confidence states: "I'm sure Alex can fix it."
D'Anglo with gratitude says: "Thank. Who doesn't love hot buttery popcorn?" The invisible dragon leans next to him, and licks up a mouth full of the popcorn. The dragon slips, away before Carla turns around to see the bowl empty. She says: "Wow D'Angelo. You must've been hungry." D'Angelo says: "I'm still hungry actually. Yep." The whole group was quiet until Carla asks: "Is everything ok?" Alex answers with a question: "What could possibly be the problem?" Miko adds: "Yeah. Just a bunch of teenagers and a kid wanting to watch a movie."
Hazel whispers to her wife: "Perhaps we're 'Cramping' Alex's style." Carla says in understanding: "Of course. Let's get out of here." As the two women leave, Hazel wishes them goodbye: "Please enjoy the show." The latino woman reenters the room with a jar of fireflies: "We're off to catch more fireflies." She leaves, closing the door as the invisible dragon still watches.
It tries to follow them, but when the door closes, it slams into the door. As the invisible dragon gets up, Tom gets up from his seat and says to it: "Hey, lil mimic dragon. You wanna be friends?" He tries to jump on it, but it dodges him, D'Angelo says: "My turn. Come here you lil copycat." He tries to jump it but no good either. Miko joins in: "Stand still you Chameleon/tape recorder." She jumps but the dragon dodges her and tail whips her. The dragon mimic the microwave bell ring to the youths.
The group minus Alex, Raf and June tries to catch it, Jack says to the dragon: "Seriously, why won't it just stay still?" He almost had it by the tail but it slipped away. The dragon was now totally invisible, they couldn't catch if they didn't know where it is.
June stands up and says to group: "This isn't working. You're only scaring it." Raf adds in agreement: "Yeah. It's obvious this thing's skittish." The dragon reappear on the couch where Alex sits.
Alex says as she jumps from the couch and slides on the table away from the dragon: "And me." She hides behind June. "This is why I never go outside. Because terrible things like this can follow me home." Then Brains transforms into robot mode, and says: "Well you better think of somethin' quick. Before this thing making more of a mess. And I'm very confident that this thing ain't house broken." He knowing this dragon being wild.
The invisible dragon still follows her around, even behind her, and nudges her leg, like a dog asking for its master's attention. But she's still scared, even telling it to stay away from her. But the dragon follows her all over the dome house, to back where she started.
D'Angelo suggests: "Maybe we should wait outside. Too many cooks in the kitchen anyway." June agrees: "Good idea. Call if you need us." The youths minus, Tom, Alex leaves. Brains says to Alex: "Hey word of advice; if this thing needs disciple just use a news paper or a magazine. You know to show you mean business." He leaves with Raf as he transforms into his laptop form.
Tom says to Alex: "Wait Alex, can you stay? There's a reason this dragon followed you home." The Latino girl questions the Blonde haired boy: "What? W-what doesn't it want with me?" The boy answers with uncertainty: "I don't know. Maybe it saw us with our dragons, and you were all alone, and it was curious about you." He sits down on the floor, with his legs crossed.
Alex questions: "Wait. You each have your own dragon?" Tom replies: "Yeah. Yeah, they sorta bond with us. And I think this one wants to bond with you. So let's just sit down, and make ourselves small."
Alex hesitates at first, but she does walk to him and sits down while explaining her fears: "I-I don't know, I'm not comfortable with animals. I prefer tech, that does what I tell it to do. Except that lil robot. What is he?" Tom answers: "Like he said, he's a minicon. He's a transformer." Alex asks again: "And what is that? Some kind of military robot army or something?" Tom answers: "No, he's an alien robot. They're called the transformers. There's the Autobots, alien robots who came to earth centuries ago. And there's these guys called the Maximals, they're time traveling robots who are the Autobot's descendants who also came to earth and back in time. They can transform into vehicles, dinosaurs, mythological creatures and animals."
Alex states: "Well aside the robots, animals they're unpredictable, and you know really, really mean." Tom sees she's opening up. "You see this one time; this really big dog followed me home. And…everyone saying 'it likes you, it likes you pet it'. And so I did, I did pet it and it bit me. It bit me so hard and then it growled and it chased me," She said almost crying of the mentally painful memory. "So now, I don't go outside, and now nothing ever follows me home. Or didn't." She small smiles at Tom, the invisible dragon overhears her story. "This is why I don't listen to people, when they tell me it's safe outside." She said switching smile to a frown. "Because it is not safe outside." She finishes.
Tom tries to reassure her: "No. Not always. Sometimes the world outside is scary. But sometimes it's amazing and fantastic and worth taking a risk for." Alex tries to understand and states: "Yeah but…but you don't know this is amazing." The boy replies: "No. No I doubt. There are never any guarantees. So I leave it for you to decided. But dragons aren't like big dogs. They're something unique. I don't think this one would have followed you home if it already connected to you in someway." Alex asks: "So you're saying all your dragons are nice?" Tom answers: "Ho yeah. (Chuckles) They're our friends. And that's we keep them a secret. Both them and the transformers. Because a real dragon and alien robot." Alex finishes: "Would end up a dead dragon and alien robot."
They hear the dragon purring similar to a cat's purr. Tom says: "Let me try something." He tries to reach out to it, but it still skittish. "Hu, the hand thing usually works." Alex questions: "Hand thing?" Tomas explains: "Well if they accept you they, press their noses against your hand. Bumblebee taught me this." Alex questions again: "Bumblebee?" The blond hair boy answers: "Yeah, he's one of the Autobots." Alex states why it's not working: "Well, you have been chasing her around, trying to tackle her. And you said, she bonded with me. Probably?" She held on to his arm feeling some doubt. "Maybe? You sure it's not a mean one?" Tom answers: "I told you, all I know. It's your choice now." He encourages her.
The Latino girl inhales and exhales: "Okay." She raises her hand the invisible dragon presses her snout on Alex's hand and reveals herself, to Alex's amazement. The dragon has a teal green scales with orangish-maroon on her back running down it back to its legs and wings. The feathers on its head have yellow color tips. Alex giggles a bit with happiness, the dragon spreads her wings, "She's beautiful. She looks a little like Quetzalcoatl." Tom questions: "Quetzal-who-now?" The Latino girl answers and explains: "The feathered serpent. My abuelita use to tell me bedtime stories, of how wise the Quetzalcoatl was. They say the feathered serpent was the forefathers of all Mesoamerica." She explains as the dragon walked around them. Tom states: "I guess this makes you and this dragon, family. You could say it was her destiny to meet you." They smiled even the dragon felt happy.
Outside the youths waited for their friends to come out. Tom comes out first, D'Angelo fearfully says: "It ate her, didn't it? I knew it." Tom reassures him: "No, everything's fine. But we gotta get this dragon out of town, before somebody spots her." Alex coming out says to group: "Everybody stay back. She got a lil too excited and she needs her space right now." She crosses her arms with a ton of authority. Raf comments her: "Wow. You sound like a mom." Alex replies: "Thanks. Again please give her space. And so do I." Everyone backs away, D'Angelo makes beeping noises like a car.
Then Alex steps aside and the dragon comes out of the dome, Tom says: "Okay, let's get to the lair without being seen." He walks but he unknowingly bumps into Plowhorn, which surprised, to see not only her, but Thunder, Wu and Wei. "Why are you guys doing here?" June says to the dragons: "We told you to stay in the cave." D'Angelo openly asks: "Dose no body respect the rules anymore?"
The two headed dragon and Gembreaker dragon are interested with the new dragon who crawls back behind Alex, while turning invisible. Tom says to the group of Dragon Riders: "Look we gotta fly out of here, now." Alex says in disagreement: "No, no, no, no. I am not flying. I'm more of a 'Stay-on-the-ground-walk-on-two-legs type'." Then a pepping is made on their phones, Jack asks openly: "Oh now what?" D'Angelo answers: "Oh no. That's the Icarus emergency messages system." He turns on his phone revealing Chief Baker who announces: "Chief Baker here with a safety alert. Due to increased earthquake activity, we're implementing a new security system." The windmills have spotlights now. "Motion activated spotlights. To help safely navigate at night. Didn't want them to surprise you. Thank you and good night."
The teens look up thinking it's gonna be hard now return to the lair with motion activated spotlights now. Tom reassures everyone: "Piece of cake. Thunder we need cover. Lights out." So Thunder charges his lighting powers creating an EMP, causing the windmills and search lights to shut down. But the windmills and lights turn back on.
D'Anglo states: "And the hits just keep comin'.Brains transforms into robot mode and says: "Hmm, EMP proof lights. Wow, this is a game changer." He begins to feel the static shock of the EMP.
The teens, the dragon, and minicon being carried rushes through town hopefully without being seen. Tom checks if the coast is clear, he says to the group: "Okay everyone, keep moving." As they move, June sees some with a flashlight and says to team: "Hold it. Someone's comin'." Tom, D'Angelo, and Jack look to their left to see another security on patrol. D'Angelo whispers the seriousness: "We're surrounded." As the two security guards drew closer, June says to the group of teens and dragons: "Keep going. Wu, Wei and I will slow them down." She turns to her dragon, "Alright you two. Steam cloud getaway. Woo. But like the way we practice this time." So the ice and fire head dragons combined their temperature different breaths to create steam. Guard 1 coughs and asks openly: "Where did all this come from?"
Under the cover of the steam, the dragon riders sneak through, without being detected. June, and her dragon Wu and Wei takes off flying without being heard by the guards.
Back with the rest of the youths and their dragons. D'Angelo takes the lead and says: "I got this. Follow me." D'Anglo takes point with Jack beside him. Jack asks: "So tell me, is the coast clear?" He checks first, and says: "Yes, now go." The others pass them, but Raf and Plowhorn who stop when they see a light. Chief Baker's voice asks: "Who's out there?" D'Anglo says fearfully: "It's my pops! Move out, go!"
Chief Baker walks towards the dome's corner, D'Angelo whispers to his dragon: "Plow, no! You need to hide." Raf whispers: "How? It's not like she can hide in plain sight." Brains questions: "Or can she. I got an idea." Brains whispers to Plowhorn and she does as she's told, simply curled up into a ball formation. Chief Baker says: "Come on out. I know you're there." He walks to the corner seeing Plowhorn, hiding in plane sight, to his point of view he was staring at a rock. "You can't hide. I will find you." He looks around and still sees no one. He walks away the trio sighs in relief, Brains says: "Phew, that was a close one." Then they mount on Plowhorn and quietly flies away, Chief Baker hears the wings flapping, he turns around and openly asks: "What's going on around here?" He asks frustratingly.
As the three teens and dragons runs heading to the forest, Cheetor watches them from behind the bushes. He says speaking out-loud: "That's it you're almost home free." However they're stopped by a very upset sheep. Tom says regarding the sheep: "Ho no, not you." As he calls for the guards, Alex says to her friend: "Tom. What do we do?"
The two guards hear the sheep, Guard 2 asks: "Did you hear that?" Guard 1 calls his commanding leader: "It came from over there. Chief we got some movement in sector 5." Chief replies he and other join them. But before the sheep could baw again, Cheetor pounces and grabs the sheep and covers the mouth. He tells the youths to continue with they do, Tom mounts on Thunder while Alex and her new dragon heads into the woods, Miko and Jack stay with Cheetor. The cheetah bot threatens the sheep: "Baw one word about this, and you'll be lamb chops. Got it?" The sheep complies frighteningly but willingly as well. So Cheetor lets him go, and the sheep runs away, Miko says to him: "Man, that was awesome. You scared that sheep out of his mind." Jack says to her: "Miko, please keep it down. We're trying to stay hidden." Cheetor sees the guards so he transforms into beast mode, and says: "Quick you two, get on my back." The didn't have time to argue, the two mount on the robot cheetah and rushes back to the lair.
Alex and her new dragon rush into the woods where they see a firefly. The dragon follows the firefly, she tries to stop her but the dragon doesn't listen, and still chases the firefly, to a whole bush of fireflies. Alex fearfully says: "(Squeal) The fireflies. That means…" when the dragon moves out of the way see her mothers. "Moms." The dragon right behind her, the other dragon riders, Cheetor and three other teenagers along with Brains sees Alex and her dragon in trouble of being caught.
June says regarding the situation: "Oh, that's not good." D'Angelo asks Tom: "What do we do?" Tom answers: "There's nothing we can do. Alex can handle this on her own." They watch, he whispers to himself, "Welcome to Dragon Club."
Cheetor sees the lesbian couple and says to Miko and Jack of an idea: "Maybe I can scare them with my roar. Make them think there's a mountain lion here." Jack states: "Uh, Cheetor? There are no mountain lions here." Miko adds: "Or any other big cat. So sorry dude, we simply can't interfere even though that would be so cool to watch and hear."
The Chameleon/mimicking dragon looks interested in them like before, and runs towards the lesbian mothers, The Latino girl tries to stop the dragon: "No, wait! Please stop!" She runs up to the dragon's side even mounts her and rides her like a bucking bronco, "We can't let my moms see you. Please, you have to hide." She held on until she falls off, when the dragon continues its run, Alex says to it: "No, no. You don't understand. The world is a dangerous place for us." The dragon understood what she said, and rejoins her, even lays her head next to her, she returns by hugging it. "You're trying to help me. Calm down." She breaks the hug and sits legs crossed. The dragon mimics: "Calm down." Alex laughs and replies: "Okay, if you insist. I know you don't understand me. But…you 'understand' me." She said stating this dragon know her by personality and by soul.
They hear Carla's voice admiring the beauty of the fireflies. Hazel says in agreement: "Glorious. Too bad Alex missed it." Alex says to her dragon: "Please, hide!" The dragon covers Alex with her wing and turns invisible hiding them both. One firefly flies towards the invisible dragon, Alex braces thinking her mom's will find them, but Carla catches it with a jar and exclaims: "Got it!" As she leaves, Alex sighs in relief. The two lesbians leave the forest thinking they caught enough fireflies.
The dragon removes her wings and turns visible again, the two sigh in relief again, and hugged each other. The dragon riders, three other youths and robocheetah all sighed in relief as well thinking they're put of the red zone. Tom says: "Told you she can handle it."
In the lair, the new dragon is excited to be part of the group, she's acting like a puppy or a kitten playing around, even around the Maximals. June says in an impressed tone: "Wow, that dragon's really coming out of her shell." D'Angelo agrees with her: "So is Alex." Rattrap finishes with his arms crossed: "Hard to believe it had to take a girl who barely comes out of her room. Sees that both of tha came out of your shells." The dragon hugs Alex again. Alex says to her dragon giving a name: "I'm gonna call you feathers. Because of your beautiful plumage. Oh now you got a name. And we gotta get you caught up with the other dragons. So let's practice our hiding technique. Feathers, Hide." The dragon doesn't do as she's told, "Feathers, hide." She repeats but in a serious tone. Feathers mimics: "Hide." Then licks Alex's face. "Feathers, no. Personal space." But the dragon continues to lick Alex's face.
Tom and Thunder next to each other, Tom says: "Looks like we're building a nice lil family here hu?" He asks Thunder who feel sad all of a sudden. "That's what you were looking for earlier. When you flew up into the lighting storm. Other dragons like you." He rubs his dragon's head. "We'll keep looking. I'm sure there out there somewhere pal." Feathers turns visible again, this time behind Tom and Thunder, even licks Thunder's face. Thunder begins to chase Feathers around the lair.
While they're occupied, Alex turns to the Maximals and asks them: "You guys say you're from the future right?" The half wolf half eagle transformer answer: "That is correct. We came to earth 2,000 years ago." Miko asks: "So what are you guys been doing for that period of time?"Tigertron answers: "For a while we were at war with the descendants of the original Predacons and Decepticons. Who are also called Predacons." Nightscream in beast mode hanging upside down says: " we've been find them for so long until our ancestors the Autobots along with their human allies the Vikings helped us against these guys." Rhinox states: "We started out with a crew of 200 until, we're all that's left of our original crew." Raf questions: "You had 200 but now, all you are what's left? I'm sorry to hear that." Botanica replies: "Do not apologize Rafael. This happened before you were born. But in the end we triumph in the war was over." Jack questions last: "Why didn't you go back to your own future? Why didn't you return to your world in your own timeline?" Optimal Optimus answers: "Even if we wanted to, we couldn't. The ship the Axalon was damaged beyond repairs. And what we have done to the timeline there's no telling what could've happened. Rhinox theorized we would've faded out of existence but so far we haven't. We are now orphans in time. So we decided to stay and fight alongside our ancestors and to make sure humanity doesn't destroy itself." The teens took their words into heart. They are unsure what the future hold even with robot aliens from the future.
