It was nearly the time for Halloween on Earth and the people of Gravesfield were especially prepared for this holiday of spooks, including a certain group of Witch teens. At their secret clubhouse, the Hexside Squad were inside with their Palismen and doing a bit of Spanish learning on an app the Noceda family tablet had, but they weren't doing very good. Willow was simply taking photos with a camera she borrowed from Camila.

"Okay, this is just impossible." Skara sighed after many failed attempts

"Am I doing this right?" Gus asked with a raised eyebrow.

"How should I know? These human languages are just weird." Boscha replied as Vee spoke a very great Spanish sentence that made the learning app show a green tick in response.

"Perfecto! You're our top student." The app remarked proudly.

"Hmm. I was the top student once." Amity muttered to herself.

Gus and Hunter looked to the other side of the room to see that Flapjack was pecking at a certain spot of the floor.

"He's still doing that, huh?" Gus asked.

"He won't tell me what he's looking for." Hunter admitted before Camila opened the door to see the Witch kids.

"Hi. Oh, I like what you've done with the place. No more exposed nails or possum nests. You even got rid of this thing." Camila complemented as she moved the door to show the painting of Hooty now concealed by some black paint the children had used many days ago.

"Yeah. We thought it was just getting too freaky for the Autobots." Willow admitted.

"That bird tube thing has always been freaky." Boscha added.

"Hola, Camila. We're learning Spanish from this scary owl app." Gus said as he held up the tablet.

"Hoot, hoot! Practice every day." The owl app said before it showed a very dark expression. "Or I'll appear in your nightmares!"

"Yeah, I get the feeling that app is cursed." Skara muttered, a bit timid.

"Oh, okay. Well, I'm going to pick up Luz from school." Camila said. "Pop quiz. Cómo se dice eso en Español?"

"Oh, oh! Uh…" Hunter trailed off as he was unable to come up with the right Spanish words.

"Yeah, I've got nothing." Boscha said in defeat.

"Voy a recoger a las niñas de la escuela." Vee said.

"Muy bueno! Keep it up." Camila remarked as she walked out the clubhouse and sighed to herself. "I never expected to be a mother of eight."

Once Camila was gone, the Hexside Squad went back to learning their Spanish and Amity simply let out a tired sigh, not in the mood anymore.

"Maybe we should take a break." Amity told her friends.

"A siesta." Willow corrected with a smile.

"Siesta!" Gus called enthusiastically.

"Whatever. Taking a break from these human languages is good for me." Boscha said, learning against the walls.

"We've been here for months and we've made no progress on the portal door. Even with all our time hanging with the Autobots, we haven't been able to make a way back home." Amity reminded. "We can't expect Camila to take care of us forever."

"It's been months for the rest of you, but me and Boscha have only been here for just a few days." Skara replied.

"In the meantime, we could pull more weight around the kitchen." Gus suggested, sitting next to Vee. "My mustard ravioli did bring tears to her eyes."

"Those weren't the kind of tears you're thinking of." Vee whispered sadly.

"I can help fix damaged clothes." Hunter offered while holding up a jacket with badly stitched patches on it.

"I can spruce up the garden." Willow said as she held a predatory plant in a pot, which snapped at Vee and made her recoil in fright.

"I can play a sweet melody for Luz and her mom." Skara added, bringing out her mini-hap and playing a small tune.

"Hate to burst your bubbles, but I doubt any of those will work." Boscha replied, causing the others to look down miserably.

As Flapjack kept pecking on the floor, some leaves blew into the clubhouse from the open door and Amity gasped when she noticed this, looking back outside.

"Maybe we need to look elsewhere. There's an entire Human Realm to search." Amity said before Willow took a bright picture, making her flinch a bit.

"But Luz has school most of the week." Willow reminded.

"So? Let's explore the town ourselves." Amity replied. "After all, Luz went into the Boiling Isles on her own."

"Are we even gonna find a way home in a human town?" Skara asked, a little unsure.

"If Eda came here before, maybe there were others." Gus theorised. "Maybe they left behind something we can use, just like the Autobots did with all those relics?"

"Yes! That's the spirit! Together, there is challenge that can hold us back." Amity declared confidently as she stepped forward, only to get her leg stuck down the floor crack Flapjack was pecking and it perched through the floor as she tripped down in the process. "Ow."

"It's a sign! We're doomed!" Gus stated in a panic.

"No, dummy. It was just the one-eyed Palisman." Boscha replied, frowning at Flapjack.

"Come on, Flapjack. This isn't funny anymore." Amity said with a frown, removing her foot from the hole.

But then, the Abomination Witch girl looked into the hole to see something very interesting in it that made her gasp surprisingly.

"There's something in here." Amity told her friends, pulling out the object and revealing it to be some kind of chest.

The others gasped at seeing the chest as Amity opened it and pulled out a paper scroll that had unusual symbols on it.

"What is that?" Skara asked.

"Hmm, looks like a map?" Gus guessed.

"Or a secret code?" Willow added.

"Flapjack, is this what you've been looking for?" Hunter asked his Palisman, who flew onto his shoulder. "What does it lead to?"

"That eye…" Amity said, placing her finger on the small eye symbol. "It kinda looks like the old portal door."

"The same portal door you guys used to get stuck here?" Boscha asked as her three eyes widened in surprise, while Willow and Gus gasped amazingly.

"The portal door!" They both exclaimed, joining their arms together. "Portal door! Portal door! Portal door!"

"This could be the way home we've been looking for!" Skara remarked, grinning in excitement.

"Let's tell Luz." Vee suggested.

"What if it's just another dead end?" Amity questioned with an ensure expression. "She already went through a lot of stress during our days with the Autobots."

"Then let's not tell her until we figure it out." Willow replied with a smile. "Using our buff brains!"

The rest of the Hexside Squad cheered our the same name in enthusiasm, while Hunter simply chuckled in a light way.

"Yeah." The blonde Witch boy said.

"But, I have to be honest…hearing about the Autobots kinda makes me miss them." Skara admitted, making her friends gain soft looks. "You know, like how Smokey would talk about his so-called 'destiny'."

"Or how Bulk kept finding new things to throw his fist into." Willow added, smiling a little bit.

"And Cliff always starting up some really long conversations." Amity chuckled.

"Not to mention Jazz putting on some good tunes during a drive." Vee commented.

"I guess Seaspray was a good giant alien robot to hang around, as well." Boscha muttered as everyone began to feel a bit sad about how much they missed their Autobot friends.

"Hey, it's like Bee said, they're just a Space Bridge away if we ever need them." Hunter assured, trying to make his friends positive again.

"And on the bright side, we haven't gotten attacked by Cons in a really long time." Gus reminded.

"That's true. I just hope Optimus and the others are doing a good job with rebuilding Cybertron." Amity said as they all looked outside to the sky, smiling at the memories of their time with Team Prime.

At the Gravesfield high school, the bell rang to signal the end of class and all the students were exiting their classrooms to enjoy their freedom from learning. One of these students was Luz Noceda, who was currently walking her way down the hall and smiling casually to herself. Earlier in her English lesson, she had to listen to a very long poem about a hero travelling around a big land having his story come to an good end. One would have expected Luz to get far too emotional as she would compare her past of making very big mistakes back in the Boiling Isles to the story she heard. But ever since the Hispanic girl's many wonderful adventures with Optimus Prime and the Autobots, she's been recovering very greatly from her self-doubts and emotional guilt problems that were created by her mistakes, especially the one where she unintentionally helped a madman meet a dangerous cosmic child.

"A great hero, huh? I bet he never met a bunch of really great alien robots that can turn into vehicles and helped them restore their planet." Luz whispered to herself with a silent giggle.

Just then, Luz came across a familiar classroom and saw that inside was a sign saying 'No Taxidermy, No Spiders, No Snakes, No Animal Parts, No Fireworks'. The teacher inside looked at Luz sternly and slowly sipped her coffee, causing Luz to grin nervously and walk away quickly. Soon, the Hispanic girl reached her locker and opened it up to show it has many items inside like drawings of Eda Clawthorne and King, a picture of her and Amity, a small King sculpture and lots more. As Luz placed her book in the looker, she picked up a picture on the left and smiled softly when she saw it was a photo that was taken many days ago in the old base, displaying herself and her main five friends standing near their Autobot Guardians as they all sat down and smiled at the camera, with Optimus standing behind them and Ratchet working at a terminal in the background.

"I wish you were all still here, Optimus." Luz said kindly, placing the photo back in her locker.

When she closed the locker, she ended up coming face to face with two grinning boys.

"Hey. You're Luz, right?" One of the boys asked, startling Luz a bit.

"Uhh…" Luz muttered as she wasn't expecting other people to actually talk to her.

"Nice to meet ya. I've gotta be honest, I heard you were looking a little bit gloomy from some of the others around here, but you're looking fresher than my old man after bed." The boy commented. "Did you go through some kind of mood swing?"

"Well…you might say that. I guess my emotions just have minds of their own, right?" Luz questioned, letting out an awkward chuckle.

(Linebreak)

The scene then zoomed straight into Luz's mind and it displayed nine different coloured beings made of pure emotional energy standing behind a console and staring at the scene through Luz's vision as if it was on a TV. Most of them had Luz's short hairstyle, too.

"Why the heck would we say?! This could lead to suspicion growing in the other students!" An orange emotional being with a wide mouth and messy sprouting hair stated in a panic.

"And we'd still be an outcast in society." A blue chubby emotional being said sadly, planting her face onto the console.

"Like all of these normale personnes could understand our life." A dark-purple gloomy emotional being muttered in a French accent, resting on a nearby couch and playing on a phone.

"Come on, everyone, there's no need to panic! We were just trying to make a fun joke!" A yellow emotional being said in a very happy way. "Besides, we can't let everybody know about the Autobots and how they helped us recover from our issues."

"If that'd happen, there'd be a hundred reasons to panic!" A bright-purple thin emotional being cried out fearfully, chattering her teeth.

"Aw, quit being a wuss! If anyone knows our little secrets, we'll just pummel them!" A short red square-shaped emotional being stated as her head started to literally heat up from anger.

"I just wish we could try dying our hair in the same colour as Arcee's paint job. Amity would agree it was amazing." A small Cyan-blue emotional being with big cute eyes commented with sparkles emitting in her eyes.

"We are so not copying our girlfriend. Plus, painting our hair would just be too gross." A green emotional being with a purple scarf around her neck said in a very snobbish way.

A very large pink emotional being quickly put up her hoodie's hood and closed it tight in a very shy manner, not wanting to say anything that'll draw attention to herself.

"Anyway, I've never seen you two around." Luz admitted.

"We're new, but we've heard all about you." The first boy replied.

"Are you gonna make another crazy costume for Halloween this year?" The second boy asked with a grin.

"'Cause if you are, we're volunteering at the Haunted Hayride." The first boy said as he friend held out a small pamphlet displaying the said event to Luz.

"Old Gravesfield is the most haunted place in the state." The second boy commented while Luz accepted the pamphlet to take a look.

"Yeah, you gotta come." The first boy added.

Luz simply looked at the pamphlet in silence, wondering if she should go or continue helping her Witch friends find a way back home.

At the end of school, Camila had already picked up Luz and was driving back home with her daughter in the passenger seat. Luz had a few food boxes in a plastic bag on her lap, as well.

"So, have the others been taking care of Stringbean?" Luz asked. "She didn't try sneaking out the house, did she?"

"Of course not, Mija. Your little snake-shifting friend is a handful, but it's nothing your friends can't take care of." Camila replied. "By the way, do you think this food is okay? Uh, I wish I knew how to make demon food for your friends. Would they, uh, prefer to drink blood?"

"Mom." Luz said firmly, but was actually looking ahead.

"Ay, I'm sorry. I'm just saying if we need to find a way, we'll find a way." Camila assured.

"No, look out!" Luz shouted alarmingly while pointing ahead, causing Camila to quickly break in front of a police officer signalling them to halt.

The two Hispanic women saw the town sherif having a discussion with a woman and her young daughter as their car was shown to have crashed into a tree.

"Oh, it was so scary. That crazy street car just came out of nowhere and I didn't even get a look at the driver. They really spooked us." The mother admitted, still recovering from the incident. "Will my insurance cover this?"

"But Mommy, it wasn't a car or a mean driver. It was a monster!" The daughter stated fearfully.

As Luz and Camila carefully drove away from the scene, they didn't notice a pair of tire tracks that were leading into the forest and the left one had a small sludge stain on it.

Later on, nighttime had arrived and things at Unit E were very much quiet inside as Agent Fowler excited the facility and he walked up to his car so he could have a peaceful drive back home.

"Well, that was a long day of juggling generals and filling out some paperwork for trainees." Flower said to himself, taking out his keys and unlocking his car doors. "But now, I get to have a decent ride home for once in my star-spangled life."

But before Fowler could get into his car, a Space Bridge portal suddenly appeared ahead of him and the special agent was very surprised to see Optimus Prime and his Autobot teammates emerge out of it.

"We made it. We're back on Earth." Bumblebee said with a smile while taking in his surroundings.

"It's looking a bit darker right now." Jazz commented.

"That's because it's nighttime on this planet." Jetfire replied.

"And it looks like we're at Unit E. That's a good thing." Arcee added.

"But if we're at Unit E, does that mean…" Bulkhead began to ask.

"Sweet Samson's back hair!" Fowler exclaimed surprisingly as he rushed up to the Autobots, earning their attention.

"Yep. There's the puny human agent." Grimlock said.

"Agent Fowler. It is good to see again." Optimus told the special agent kindly.

"How long's it been? Three days? A week?" Cliffjumper questioned, smiling cooly.

"Two days at best. Seeing you all standing in front of my two naked eyes is a real shocker." Fowler admitted kindly.

"Glad to see we surprised ya, little man." Ironhide replied.

"But we haven't come back here for a friendly visit." Wheeljack said, causing Fowler to raise an eyebrow curiously.

"Optimus has recently been shown a number of possible visions that say the children will soon be in great danger." Ultra Magnus explained.

"And it's most likely gonna happen tomorrow." Slug added.

"Where are they now, Agent Fowler?" Ratchet asked.

"They all headed back to Gravesfield for Halloween." Fowler answered.

"Hallo-what?" Swoop questioned in confusion.

"Luz said it's a holiday tradition that humans like to celebrate." Arcee said.

"If they're at the town, we need to get there as fast as we can." Seaspray proclaimed.

"Having a swell drive to a tiny human town would be good for my wheels." Knock Out said with a smile, causing Fowler to look at him suspiciously.

"What's he doing here?" He questioned.

"Relax, Fowler. Knock Out's on our side now." Bulkhead reassured.

"He aided us in a dangerous battle and has proven he wishes to choose the right path." Elita added.

"Well…I guess that's okay." Flower admitted.

"Don't worry, fleshy. I'm sure you'll warm up to me." Knock Out replied smugly.

"Shall we make our way to this Gravesfield area, then?" Dreadwing asked.

"Indeed. Autobots, transform and roll out." Optimus ordered, prompting his teammates to change into their alternate forms.

"We aren't using a Ground Bridge again?" Bumblebee asked.

"Using a Ground Bridge directly within Gravesfield would draw too much attention." Ratchet replied. "It's better if we head to Gravesfield on our own."

"Good point, doc." Cliffjumper said in agreement.

Optimus also transformed and he opened his driver seat's door, allowing Fowler to get into his seat.

"Hope you don't mind me tagging along, Prime." Flower said.

"Your assistance is always welcome, Agent Fowler." Optimus replied kindly. "Autobots, let us head to Gravesfield and meet up with our young friends."

"Whatever you say, Prime." Grimlock nodded before the Autobots all moved ahead to where Gravesfield was located, intent on warning their Hexside Squad friends about their coming threat.

Back at the Noceda residence, Hunter was seen in the basement using a sewing machine on a black shirt he got from Luz with Flapjack beside him. While he and Gus got to sleep in the basement and Luz, Amity and Willow slept in the main house level, Boscha and Skara's only option for a sleeping room was the attic and they got used to it.

"Thanks for helping, Gus." Camila's voice said from upstairs.

"Anytime. Good night!" Gus replied as he rushed down to the attic and hopped into the couch that acted as his bed, putting the covers over him. "Woo-hoo! We've got a big day ahead of us, so I'm gonna buenos this noche."

Gus then heard Hunter let out a small 'Ow' from behind him and he turned around to see the blonde Witch boy shaking his hand, which had obviously been stabbed by the sewing machine's needle by accident.

"You good? That sounded painful." Gus admitted in concern, earning a simple scoff from his friend as he kept using the sewing machine.

"I've been training in the Emperor's Coven for as long as I can remember. I think I can handle a little-" Before he could finish, Hunter flinched painfully as he suddenly felt the needle dig even deeper this time.

"Oh…that went clean through." Gus said while wincing at the sight.

Later on, Gus managed to find some of Camila's medical equipment and he wrapped a small plaster around Hunter's scarred finger to prevent any bleeding.

"Camila taught me how to use this sewing contraption. Even Darius' stitches have never been this neat! Oh, and look at what I made!" Hunter stated before he held up the shirt he was working with, which had an image of wolves. "These are mystical beasts called wolves, and I love them."

"That looks great." Gus complemented. "And here I thought you were more into bees. You know, like Bumblebee."

"Hey, I love Bee just as much as I love these furry little creatures of the night." Hunter replied, trying not to sound too offended.

"If you say so. You know, you've been smiling a lot more since we've been here." Gus admitted. "Especially when you hung out with Bee."

"I-It's not like I don't want to return!" Hunter stated in embarrassment. "I just, uh, need a way to pass the time. That's all. Besides, Bee was a very important friend to me."

"No. It's good to see you happy. One of us might as well be." Gus said with a frown, thinking about his dad back in the Boiling Isles.

Hunter could see how depressed the Illusionist Witch boy was and grew a sympathetic look for him.

"What was it like to be in the Emperor's Coven for so long?" Gus asked.

"I trained a lot. I studied a lot." Hunter replied, laying in his sleeping bag on the floor. "I wasn't really allowed to be around the other scouts. But weekends were nice. I got to leave the castle for missions."

"Do you miss it?" Gus questioned softly.

"I miss…knowing who I'm supposed to be." Hunter said, lowering his eyelids in depression as the two Witch boys looked up at the ceiling in silence for a bit.

"I miss my dad." Gus admitted. "And Jackie, too."

"We'll find a way back. We have to." Hunter reassured. "And like I said before, Wheeljack can always come visit you from a Space Bridge."

"Oh, my Titan! That first sentence is from this book I found." Gus exclaimed in realisation before he showed Hunter a book about some space explorers. "Cosmic Frontier! It's a story that takes place in the stars."

"I get that Cybertron is in space, but what other reason would anyone wanna go there?" Hunter asked curiously, taking the Cosmic Frontier book for a look.

"I don't know. Humans like spreading their junk everywhere." Gus replied. "But it's a story about people trying to get back home, like us and Skara was totally into it when I showed her earlier. We've got Captain Avery, Security Officer Quando and a Chief Engineer O'Bailey, who's hiding as a clone from the enemy planet."

Hunter grew intense after he heard that last part since he himself was a Grimwalker clone of Belos' former brother, Caleb.

"What, uh, happens to him?" Hunter asked nervously.

"I guess you'll have to find out." Gus replied before he opened a closet door, revealing a bunch of Cosmic Frontier items inside it.

(Linebreak)

In the middle area bedroom, Luz reached her hand out to the glowing space props on the ceiling while she laid on her bed, unable to sleep. The Hispanic girl got out of her bed and she approached her desk, where Stringbean was sleeping and Luz looked to the other side to see many sketches of Optimus, Arcee, Bumblebee, Ratchet, Cliffjumper, Wheeljack, Smokescreen, Grimlock and all the other Autobots she met. Luz smiled fondly at the Autobot sketches and she soon walked away to exit the room, with Amity waking up and noticing her girlfriend leaving before she saw the pamphlet of the Haunted Hayride. Meanwhile, Camila was resting on her bed with a light on and many different research papers scattered around her rooms.

"They don't hate garlic like vampires. But they weren't entirely against eyeballs when we were watching that zombie movie. Gus said I could get apple blood from apple butcher, but…" Camila said to herself before she let out a tired yawn. "Until I find one of those…I'll have to use food colouring…"

The Hispanic woman then fell asleep on her own and everything started to go black within her vision.

(Flashback)

Soon, Camila found herself sitting on a bench and at Gravesfield's local playground, watching a few little kids playing with each other and a much younger Luz was digging in the ground for something. The little Hispanic girl found what she was after and gasped happily before she brought her dug-up item to the other kids.

"Look what I found!" Luz stated, showing some dead snake skin in her palms.

"Gross! Don't touch that dead thing!" One of the kids exclaimed as he and the other two were disgusted by what Luz had.

"It's not dead. This is the skin of Garter Snake. They shed their pyjamas as they grow." Luz replied with a smile. "It means there's a snake near us, and it just got a lot bigger!"

The other children ran away while screaming and Camila simply laughed to herself from where she sat, liking how much imagination her daughter had.

"She called them pyjamas." Camila remarked.

"Ugh, so unhygienic." One of the mothers next to her said in disgust.

"That girl must have been raised by wolves." The other mother insulted.

"Hey!" Camila shouted defensively while pointing at them. "Wolves are actually great parents! And-"

Before she could finish, the Hispanic woman suddenly found herself sitting in an audience chair and watching a school play of Romeo and Juliet, with Luz playing the roll of the lead female character.

"Oh, happy dagger, give me death!" Luz cried out dramatically before making a bunch of stringed sausages appear out of her costume, scaring the other students as they screamed and ran.

Camila once again laughed at her daughter's stunt.

"Her dad taught her that one." She said to herself.

"Ugh, gross. Now everything smells like lunch meat." A man behind her said unhappily.

"Yeah, she's such a try-hard." A woman agreed.

"Oye! What did you just say?!" Camila demanded in anger before she suddenly fell down from her seat and landed into a wooden chair, facing the school principal as his face was shadowed.

"I said grief can manifest in different ways, like how Luz has been acting out for attention." The principal said.

"Loosing Manny was difficult for both of us." Camila said while looking down solemnly, feeling saddened over her husband's passing. "But Luz has always done things differently."

"Didn't you say you were bullied in high school, Mrs Noceda?" The principal asked.

The room around Camila then started to flood slowly around her.

"Uh, yes, but-" Camila began to say nervously.

"Luz hasn't made any friends, her grades are inconsistent, and I heard she brought a live snake to school?" The principal said while holding up a file about Luz before she handed Camila a flyer about a certain summer camp Luz previously refused to go to. "Take this. It could help her."

"Reality Check Camp?" Camila asked as the room was completely flooded as she floated in the water.

"You don't want Luz to struggle like you did, right?" The principal questioned, making Camila gain a conflicted expression.

(End Flashback)

"Mom?" Luz's voice said, making Camila gasp awake and pant sharply for a bit before she turned to her daughter at her room's entrance.

"Luz?" Camila asked, adjusting her glasses. "What time is it?"

"That's not important right now." Luz replied as she looked away softly for a bit. "Mom, why were you never mad at me for all the lies? Not just for when I went to the Boiling Isles, but when I first met the Autobots."

Camila let out a sigh as she knew she needed to talk things through with her daughter and she moved to the other side of her bed.

"Oh, baby. Come here." Camila said, causing Luz to get in the bed with her. "I've been terrified, sure. Mostly about the parts where you went to a world of demons and magic and an alien planet of living vehicle-changing robots. But believe it or not, I do understand what it's like to want to run away or keep people you care about safe."

"I guess so." Luz admitted, giving her mother a tight embrace.

"But the point is, you came home, you helped your Autobot friends in so many great ways and everything is okay now." Camila reassured.

"I wouldn't exactly say everything is okay. Sure I managed to help Optimus and the other Bots restore Cybertron, but I still need to help my other friends get back to their world." Luz replied, rubbing her arm sadly. "I guess I was so focused on helping the Autobots that I got diverted from trying to get back to the Boiling Isles, and to Eda and King. I still don't know if they're both okay. I'm hoping the Autobots will come back again soon since they helped me out in a lot of ways, but I've gotten no word about them from Fowler lately.

"Well, what matters now is that you're back to your previous task. You'll find a way to get your friends home, Mija." Camila told her kindly. "And I'm sure your giant robot friends will come back."

"I hope so. Can I sleep here tonight? I don't wanna risk going back to my room and waking up Stringbean." Luz said, causing Camila to smile and tuck her daughter in with her before giving her a kiss on the forehead. "Thanks, Mama."

Luz and Camila laid down on their sides of the bed and turned out the lights, not knowing that a mechanical being with light-blue glowing eyes was moving throughout the forest.

In the morning, the Hexside Squad were back in their clubhouse and preparing to venture into town to search for their possible way back home. Skara had a pair of fluff headphones and Boscha had a yellow sports headband to hide their Witch ears, or third eye, from the humans.

"Alright, Luz is at her mom's vet clinic putting tiny bandages on 'hedgehogs'. So today, we're going into town to solve this code." Amity told her friends while holding the scroll map.

"You guys know the drill." Skara said, placing her fluffy headphones on.

"Ears." Gus said as he uses his magic to place his hat over his ears.

"Routes." Vee added while holding a map.

"Snacks, check." Willow finished, showing a bag full of tasty treats.

"Human disguise, check." Hunter said as he showed up though the back door, now wearing a yellow Cosmic Frontier costume that seemed to be hand made. "Eh?"

"Oh, that is a look." Willow said impressively before taking a photo.

"Yeah. A look that's totally cringe worthy." Boscha whispered as she and Amity didn't like Hunter's new outfit.

"You showed him Cosmic Frontier, didn't you?" Skara asked Gus, who nodded proudly in response.

"According to Cosmic Frontier, this is what modern, human male wears." Hunter said, gesturing to his costume.

Vee took the Cosmic Frontier book in his hand and looked at the front cover.

"This was written in the 90s about the year 2008." Vee admitted.

"Yeah. Can't wait for that New Year's party." Hunter quipped.

"Did you get to the last chapter?" Gus asked.

"Tell me you really like it." Skara pleaded with a smile.

"O'Bailey is still hiding the fact that he's a Duplicant in hyper disguise." Hunter replied. "But Captain Avery is figuring it out."

"I think he already knows-" Gus began to say.

"Ah, bup-bup-bup!" Hunter exclaimed, pressing his hands against his ears. "No, no, no, no, no spoilers!"

"I bet our Autobot partners would like it if they read it." Skara proclaimed.

"Those three are so silly." Boscha muttered while shaking her head.

"Hunter, I don't think the world is ready for the brave fashion choices of the year 2008. Please change." Amity told the blonde Witch boy, only for Willow to cover her mouth.

"Don't listen to her!" Willow stated firmly.

"Ah, geez, we're gonna miss the bus." Vee informed, shifting into her human form.

"Oh, it's okay! I'll catch up." Hunter assured. "There's a transport worm every half hour."

The others nodded to Hunter in response as they collected their Palismen and ran out the clubhouse to catch the bus, with Willow staying behind for a bit.

"I'm gonna borrow that book when you're done with it." Willow said to Hunter with a wink, following the others and closing the door.

Hunter blushed to himself when she was gone as Flapjack flew up to him and landed next to a mirror that showed Hunter's full new appearance.

"You know, maybe you're right, Flap." Hunter admitted, looking to the side for a bit before admiring his look in the mirror. "Even if I'm not who I'm supposed to be…I like who I am right now."

But then, Flapjack flew to the window of the side and narrowed his good eye out it as Hunter walked up to his Palisman, curious about what he was staring at. When he looked out the window into the forest, something very large and metallic could be seen rushing through the forest's shadows and Hunter gasped in surprise at what he just saw.

"Could that have been…one of them?" Hunter asked himself shockingly.

(Linebreak)

In Earth's orbit, a large Space Bridge portal appeared and the large Decepticon spaceship flew right out of it. Thundercracker and Skywarp were currently piloting the ship with Starscream standing behind them.

"There it is. The pitiful insect planet, Earth." Starscream said with a frown.

"Never thought I'd come back to this dirt ball." Skywarp admitted.

"It's where the Autobots' pets live, so they were bound to come back here." Thundercracker replied.

"Which is exactly why we'll destroy them all and soon find a way into the world of magic." Starscream proclaimed. "Prepare to set coordinates for the Witches' home area so that we may have them pay for their many crimes against the Decepticons."

"Let's just hope Lord Megatron will be able to recover so that he can start leading us again." Thundercracker said, which made the air commander gain a slight frown.

"Well, I'm certain that Shockwave knows what he's doing with our master." Starscream said.

"Our master's repairs would be quicker if Knock Out hadn't decided to stab us in the back." Skywarp scowled annoyingly.

"Don't worry, Skywarp. We'll be able to pay him back soon enough." Starscream assured before Shatter and Dropkick entered the control room, causing him to turn to them. "Shatter, Dropkick, what have you to report?"

"Shockwave wanted us to tell you that he's managed to stabilise Megatron's life." Shatter said. "With a good amount of time, our master will be fully repaired."

"Excellent. Now, rally the others and have them prepare for a landing. We're going to finish the Autobots and their young pets, once and for all." Starscream declared with a smirk.

"That's music to my audio receptors." Dropkick replied before he and Shatter left.

"Alright, let's get down to that planet." Thundercracker stated as he and Skywarp flew the ship straight down to Earth.

As the Decepticon ship headed to the planet, the Predacons suddenly flew out of the Space Bridge in their vehicle forms and they quickly noticed their target fly down towards Earth. Predaking roared at SkyLynx, Darksteel, Ripclaw and Backbite and they all flew straight after the Decepticons, not knowing that a familiar purple energy entity was also headed their way in the distant space behind them.
