Chapter 3: Energon Race
At the Autobot Base, Ratchet was checking monitoring what was happening at Ever After High.
"Rowan, you said that Mohawk attacked right after he was alerted by the Decepticon spy," Ratchet said through the Comms. "Is that correct?"
"Yeah, that's right, Ratch," Rowan said as Bumblebee and Bulkhead drove him, Raven, Maddie, Miko and Briar to where Hot Rod and Arcee were. "I'm getting suspicious, but we can't let anyone else in."
"Who could be a spy at our school?" Briar asked.
"What?" Ratchet asked back at base. "Who was that? Is someone else with you, Rowan?"
"Oh, right," Rowan cringed. "Ratchet… we have a new Knight of Iacon with us… and a new ally wishing to help us out."
"Another human who isn't a Knight?" Ratchet asked. "Rowan, I'm seriously starting to question your judgment. Maddie was enough as it is."
"Did Maddie have an Energon Blade?" Miko spoke up. "Don't know what Energon is, but Mohawk seemed to know what my sword was made of."
"An Energon Blade in the hands of a human?" Ratchet asked. "Very interesting."
"Who else knows of us now?" Optimus Prime asked.
"Two others at school," Rowan said. "Their names are Ashlynn Ella and Hunter Huntsman."
"When you are done assisting Arcee and Hot Rod, bring all allies that know of our existence to us so we can meet them," Optimus Prime said. "For their own safety, we must let them know of the danger that they are now in."
"Optimus, we have another problem," Ratchet said as something beeped on his console. "It's Motormaster."
"What is his location?" Optimus Prime asked.
"Five clicks due north of where everyone is converging," Ratchet said, looking to a map. "No Stunticons in the area with him. He's alone."
"I will travel there to intercept," Optimus Prime said. "Rowan, you must help Hot Rod and Arcee hold off against the Dreads until I arrive. Do not engage Motormaster. He is very dangerous."
"Got it," Raven said from Bumblebee. "What does he look like?"
At that moment, everyone got a holographic display of a Decepticon manifest on their Talismans. A profile for Motormaster soon appeared. It showed a big silver and purple Decepticon with a body shape similar to Optimus Prime's, only with a large sword on the back and with a different helmet. For the vehicle mode, it appeared to be a large truck with a trailer attached to it.
"That's a big one." Maddie said.
"Don't worry, Optimus," Briar said. "We've got this."
"I'm on my way." Optimus Prime said as he transformed into a large red and blue truck with orange flames on the sides. Attaching from path of the base came a trailer with the Autobot insignia on the side.
"Activating the Ground Bridge," Ratchet pulled a lever, causing a portal to appear in front of Optimus Prime. "In case LaserBeak is out there, we can't risk any exits."
"Await my arrival!" Optimus Prime called before racing through the Ground Bridge.
On a long path by the mountains, Hot Rod and Arcee were racing away from the Dreads. Soon, Bulkhead and Bumblebee drove up next to them and instantly swerved to join them.
"Hey, Arcee," Bumblebee said. "Sorry we're late. School held us up."
"Ever After High, promising as always." Arcee joked.
"Hope I didn't miss out on much." Bulkhead said.
"Wait," Arcee said, veering closer to Bumblebee and Bulkhead. "Are those… humans?"
"Um… hi…" Raven said. "Don't worry, we're with them."
"Optimus sent us to help." Rowan added on.
"Good," Hot Rod said. "Because I'm carrying forty Energon Cubes inside of me. We can't let anyone or anything hit me, or else it all goes off."
"Wait, what?!" Miko exclaimed.
"Energon is not only our lifeblood, but it is also a fuel made by a combination of your world's magic and its natural resources," Arcee explained. "And like all fuels, it is susceptible to combustion."
"That's not good," Maddie said. "That's mad!"
"Your blood explodes?!" Briar panics.
"Not easily," Bulkhead said. "But back to the point, we need to protect Hot Rod at all costs!"
"Everyone, form a perimeter around Hot Rod!" Bumblebee drove up to the front of Hot Rod while Arcee and Bulkhead drove to the sides. "Let nothing touch him! That Energon can't go off!"
"Drift away from the base!" Rowan ordered further. "Those guys can't be allowed to catch us!"
"I'm going up top!" Raven called as she opened the skylight. "With no one to guard the rear, we need some extra offense."
"Right with you," Briar said, opening the skylight on Bulkhead's controls as well. "I could do with some more experience."
"Be careful!" Bulkhead called out.
Raven and Briar both got on top of their respective Autobot partners and looked to each other. Nodding, they activated their swords from their Talismans as the Dreads came closer.
"So, that party at your dorm…" Raven called to Briar. "Am I invited?"
"Just as long as you invite me to all these events," Briar said. "They really get the adrenaline flowing."
Through the mountain passage, Bumblebee, Bulkhead and Arcee all kept a tight formation around Hot Rod. Maddie kept her hand on Bumblebee's controls while Miko fastened in inside of Bulkhead alongside Rowan.
"You know, you're really not the same person I knew in all the other years at school." Miko said, looking at Rowan.
"People change, transform," Rowan said. "But I'm still the same. You don't have to change who you are to be appreciated," he said while looking to Miko. "I should know. You're great the way you are."
Miko looked to Rowan with surprise. She turned away and blushed a little before seeing a fifth police van join the Dreads.
"We got more!" Miko called.
"Stay in formation!" Arcee warned, staying in front of Hot Rod.
Raven and Briar both watched as one of the Dreads started to transform, resembling a monstrous robot with what appeared to be metal dreadlocks at the back. This was their leader, Crowbar.
"First one!" Briar called as Crowbar leapt at everyone.
"Hold on!" Raven called before she and Briar both sent energy slashes towards Crowbar, sending him over the convoy before forcing down two trees behind the group. Everyone accelerated forward, but the remaining four leapt up. Two of them transformed into robots that had similar appearances to Crowbar, one looking almost exactly the same while the other looked like a savage beast. These were Crankcase and Hatchet.
"Hello, Ugly." Rowan said.
The other two transformed and started to fire their arsenals, one armed with a single blaster while the other just fired from his claws. These were Dreadbot and Berserker.
"I got an idea!" Raven called. "Let the beastly one pass us!"
"What?" Bumblebee asked surprised. "Why?"
"Trust me!" Raven said.
Hatchet leapt at Bumblebee, with Raven narrowing her eyes. At the right moment, she backflipped and slashed at him, causing him to tumble in front before Bumblebee activated his blasters.
"He's unbalanced," Bumblebee said as Raven landed back on top of him. "Good thinking, Raven."
"Get him now, Bee!" Raven called.
Bumblebee started to open fire on Hatchet, who took evasive maneuvers to evade getting hit. Raven tried blasting with her own magic, but he continued to evade.
"That 'Con is harder to hit than a Bandersnatch!" Maddie exclaimed. "Why can't we just throw an Energon Cube at him?"
"Because even one can do a lot of damage alone," Hot Rod explained. "Right now, we're lucky enough to be away from a populated area to avoid doing real damage."
"Wait," Miko said. She took out her sword and looked to it. "When I made my sword, I used some special crystals to make it different from my mother's, and Mohawk said it was Energon. What if we put it into another weapon?"
"That's a good idea, Miko, but too risky at the moment," Arcee said. "We need to focus on moving this Energon, not getting it back into Decepticon hands."
"Wait, I think I have an idea on how we can get this to work," Maddie said as she looked to Hot Rod. "Hot Rod, I'm coming in!"
"What?!" Hot Rod yelled. "Arcee just said it's too risky!"
"Don't tell me the odds." Maddie grinned as she leapt out of Bumblebee. Time seemed to slow down around everyone as Maddie leapt right through Hatchet. Landing inside of Hot Rod, she found herself surrounded by Energon Cubes.
"She told you," Bumblebee said, sounding as if he were grinning. "She knows how to make the impossible possible… somehow."
"Maddie, whatever you've got planned, do it fast!" Briar called, deflecting blaster fire from Dreadbot. "The other two are starting to close in."
"Let's see, one teacup…" Maddie said as she pulled a teacup from her hat before grabbing an Energon cube. "Pour the Energon…" she poured some Energon into the cup before opening up the croquet mallet she still had and pouring it in. "Add one sixteenth, and let settle," she went on before her mallet started to glow. "Ooh, Lizzie's gonna flip her crown when she sees this!" she cheered before jumping back outside.
"Are all the humans this reckless?!" Arcee exclaimed.
"Not reckless…" Maddie exclaimed before hammering at the ground, which caused an Energon burst that sent her onto Hatchet. "Just mad!" she laughed before hammering at him, causing him to yell.
"She's made an opening!" Bulkhead exclaimed before letting loose his own blasters. "Good move."
"Miko, take control!" Rowan takes his hands off the wheel, allowing Miko to steer as Rowan leapt out the skylight. Taking out his sword, he leapt at Hatchet and stabbed his sword into him, causing him to crash to the ground before he grabbed Maddie and leapt onto Arcee.
"Good going, Maddie," Arcee said. "You too, Rowan."
"Thanks," Rowan said. "But it was mostly Maddie there."
"I'm gonna like this." Maddie said as she felt her new Energon Hammer, but was more focused on Rowan.
At that moment, a large black, silver and purple truck emerged in front of everyone. The Dreads stopped in their tracks, as did the Autobots. Rowan, Raven, and Briar all gaped before getting back into Bumblebee and Bulkhead.
"Um, Optimus?" Rowan asked. "You know how you told us not to take on Motormaster?"
"Well…" Raven said before the truck in front of them started to change. "We might have to disobey that order."
"Not on our own free will, though." Briar added.
Soon, the truck transformed into a large robot, and slammed its massive sword onto the ground. This was Motormaster.
"Which one of you stole our Energon?!" Motormaster yelled.
"Look, we can tell you, but you can't attack us," Rowan said, getting out. "If you do, you can expect this whole place, which includes all of us, to go up in smoke."
"Um, that's right!" Miko exclaimed, getting out. "What would you have to tell your superiors about that, huh?!"
"Raven to Optimus," Raven whispered. "Strike that. We are not fighting Motormaster. Repeat, we are not engaging him."
"Starscream would hate it if his Energon detonated," Motormaster said before kneeling down to face the two humans in their faces. "You'd better tell me where my Energon is quickly, humans, or else I'm gonna reconsider my options."
"Okay, okay," Rowan said. He turned around and pointed to Hot Rod. "See that he's not transforming?" he asked as everyone else transformed after letting out their respective human comrades. "He's holding it, but I'm guessing at the rate we're traveling, the Energon must have become unstable. Strike him, and we all lose."
"Trust me, he's telling the truth," Hot Rod said as the Autobots aimed their weapons. "Why do you think everyone else was protecting me?"
Motormaster growled and made his way to Hot Rod. "Roomy Alt Mode, quick speed… just the kind of vehicle you'd expect to carry Energon," he noted. "Can't attack you… how to carry you instead?"
"Wait, what?!" Miko asked.
"After our warning?!" Briar exclaimed in surprise.
"I promised not to hurt you," Motormaster turned his head. "But I'm not leaving empty-handed either."
At the same time, Dexter was walking through the forest, wiping slime off of his jacket.
"Note to self, when practicing in asking someone out, do not try a troll," Dexter said to himself. "Cerise was in too much of a hurry to try anything, and Ashlynn… I don't know where she got a crown of flowers, but she's definitely out," he sighed. "So… who else could I ask for Raven?"
"Look, we're just saying, we don't want you to mess up with Starscream," Dexter heard a voice say. "You'll be in a lot of trouble, Mr. Motor."
"Maddie?" Dexter asked. He looked around to find the source of the voice before coming across the passage, seeing Rowan with Raven, Maddie, Briar and Miko, as well as, for the first time, Bumblebee and Bulkhead in their Robot Modes, standing next to Arcee, all aiming weapons at Motormaster and the Dreads.
"What?" Dexter whispered.
"Motormaster to Commander Starscream," Motormaster said. "I've intercepted the convoy of stolen Energon, but it has become unstable. What is my next move?"
Starscream growled from the Nemesis. "Find a way to bring it here," he snarled. "With the mountain destroyed, we will need all the Energon that Autobot has. Ensure its safety. Do not destroy, just deliver."
"Yes, Commander," Motormaster said before looking to Hot Rod again. "Now… what shall I do with you?"
"Um, we're a bit new to this, but I don't think that a Ground Bridge is an option," Raven said. "I mean, that's basically teleportation, right?"
"That is correct. You learn from us quickly," Motormaster said before looking down to Hot Rod again. "Too bad I don't have my EMP. You'd be offline and back on by the time I drag you to the Nemesis."
"Don't even think about it," Arcee said. "The only reason I don't shoot you is because of the Energon safety."
"Listen to her," Rowan said as Motormaster turned to face him. "Anything is a risk."
"Wait… that Talisman…" Motormaster said as he looked to Rowan, Raven and Briar. "Knights of Iacon!"
"Yeah, that's us, and by looking at me, you should know who you're up against!" Raven called, stepping up.
"Ravenicus Prime," Motormaster grinned. He let out a chuckle. "Funny. I don't see anything special about you."
"What is our next move?" Berserker asked.
"Scrap the humans," Motormaster chuckled before picking up Raven, causing her to gasp as she dropped her sword. "This one is coming with me!"
"Put her down!" Bumblebee ordered.
"Let her go!" Maddie yelled.
Dexter gasped quietly before seeing Raven's dropped sword.
"If this girl really is the Prime everyone has been talking about, I'm sure Megatronus will want to see his captor for himself," Motormaster grinned. "Plus… Ravenicus Prime always did rant on about reincarnation and immortality."
"She what?" Raven asked before slamming on Motormaster's clawed hand. "Put me down!"
"Only when you tell your Autobot friends here to kneel before me!" Motormaster yelled.
"Everyone, spit this guy!" Raven yelled. "Do not surrender!"
"Try anything, and Ravenicus here is dead meat!" Motormaster threatens.
Dexter clenches his fist and runs forward.
"Raven, we've got you!" Rowan called.
"The question is how?" Bumblebee asked.
"You let her go!"
Everyone turned to see Dexter running in. He picked up Raven's sword and slammed it on Motormaster, the blow from it causing him to stagger backwards.
"Whoa!" Raven yelled as Motormaster let her go. Using her magic, she hovered off the ground before seeing him take out his sword and swat her down with his hand. Falling with a grunt, she watched as he swung his sword down, only for Dexter to get in the way again and swing back, his blade colliding with Motormaster's.
"Dexter!" Raven gasps.
Dreadbot growled and shot at Dexter, only for Raven to blast him with her Talisman gauntlet. As the Dread was sent back, she ran next to Dexter.
"You okay?" Dexter asked.
"I should be asking you," Raven said before looking to the sword. She held out her hand. "Um… can I have that back now, please?" she asked.
"Oh, right!" Dexter stuttered before giving Raven her sword. "It's stronger than it looks."
"Got that right," Bumblebee said before hearing something approaching. "Something else is too."
"I'll make you pay for that!" Motormaster yelled.
At that moment, from the clearing of the forest, Optimus Prime drove in. Everyone looked in amazement as he swung his trailer around, knocking Motormaster and the Dreads off of their feet. Soon, he transformed, the trailer forming into a circular weapons station ring.
"Briar, Miko, Dexter… I think it's time you met the big guy," Rowan grinned as Optimus Prime walked up to them and the Autobots. "He is the leader of the Autobots… meet Optimus Prime."
"Is everyone alright?" Optimus Prime asked.
"Yeah, we are now," Raven said with a smile. "Thanks. Optimus."
"Um, hello…" Briar said, walking up. Optimus looked to her as she showed him her Iacon Talisman. "Forgive me for saying this, but you look very, very prime, Mr. Prime."
"Thank you," Optimus Prime grinned before looking to Miko and Dexter. "I saw what you two have done. Despite not being Knights… you make us proud."
"I'm glad we can help." Miko smiled.
"Me too." Dexter said.
"Prime!" Motormaster growled, taking out his sword again while Dreadbot and Berserker aimed their weapons. "You're not escaping this time!"
"Take the Energon and head back to base!" Optimus Prime ordered Bumblebee and Hot Rod before looking to Arcee and Bulkhead. "Draw the Decepticons away. I shall deal with Motormaster."
"I've been waiting for this." Motormaster grinned.
Optimus Prime ran to his weapons arsenal and reached for a sword on one side and a shield on the other. The sword was a silver one with Cybertronian writing engraved on it, and the shield was a large one that was pointed at the bottom. Spinning around the blade, it let out an orange glow of Energon. Activating his battle mask, he charged forward and let out a battle cry as he knocked Dreadbot away before kicking Berserker. As soon as they were disposed of, he locked swords with Motormaster.
"That's why he's Prime," Bulkhead grinned before he and Arcee transformed while Bumblebee and Hot Rod drove towards the base behind them. "Get in!"
"Not enough for everyone." Rowan cringed.
"You!" Arcee called to Dexter, causing him to turn to her. "It's Dexter, right?"
"Um, yes?" Dexter said, uncertain.
"Hop on, Shining Knight." Arcee said as she deactivated her holographic rider.
Dexter awed in amazement before getting onto Arcee. Gripping the controls tight, he raced off, with Bulkhead taking Rowan, Miko, Briar, Raven and Maddie after them.
The rest of the Dreads growled as they charged after the humans. However, Rowan noticed Berserker getting up and opened the skylight once again.
"Rowan! What are you doing?" Miko asked.
"Helping Optimus even the odds," Rowan said. "I'll see you when we get back to base!"
Raven nodded. "Good luck."
"For Prime!" Rowan called, jumping into the air. When he was high enough, he fired his Talisman Gauntlet down, causing him to fly at Berserker and slash him just as he was about to use an Energon spear on Optimus Prime.
"You stayed." Optimus Prime said, surprised.
"We fight together…" Rowan said. "Until all are one!"
"Prepare to become one with your brothers!" Motormaster roared.
"One shall stand… and one shall fall!" Optimus Prime proclaimed.
Nearing the Bookball field at Ever After High, Raven and Briar were both firing energy slashes back at the Dreads before Dexter turned Arcee around and raced at them.
"You got a plan?" Arcee asked.
"Yeah," Dexter said. "Hope they got fears!"
Bulkhead swerved around and drove as well. "I get what's going on." He said.
Raven, Briar, Maddie and Miko all looked to each other before realizing what was about to happen. Quickly, they fastened their seatbelts.
Since the town was empty for now, no one was watching. The students from Ever After High continued to race Arcee and Bulkhead towards the Dreads before they eventually veered off-course.
"Now!" Dexter yelled.
Bulkhead opened his doors. "Out, now!" he yelled.
The girls leapt out of Bulkhead just as Dexter and Arcee turned. Bulkhead transformed, sliding at the Dreads and sending them into the air as Arcee transformed and held onto Dexter.
"Nice plan," Arcee grinned before tossing another Talisman to him. "If this works for you, join in. For now, stay put." She said before using the wheels on her feet to skid forward.
"You wanna rumble or tumble?" Bulkhead asked, aiming his blasters at the Dreads, who aimed back.
"Don't get started without me." Arcee said, stopping by the Dreads and aiming her blasters at them. In return, they aimed right back.
"Ooh, ooh, ooh! A Mexican Standoff!" Maddie clapped, causing everyone to look to her in confusion. "It's a reference." She shrugged.
"Here's what's going to happen," Bulkhead said. "We're gonna put down our weapons…"
"And you can escape with what little dignity you have left." Arcee said.
The two Dreads snarled at each other, as if trying to use some sort of secret language.
"Three… two… one!" Arcee counted before everyone threw down their weapons.
"Much better." Bulkhead said, unawares that the Dreads were starting to pull out spiked clubs from their backs.
"Look out!" Dexter called as he ran forward. As he did, the Talisman, attached to him, and it turned blue. Reaching Crankcase, he pulled out two futuristic Bowguns with bladed bayonets before shooting the Dread in the face.
"Whoa!" Briar exclaimed.
"You're a Knight too!" Raven exclaimed.
Dexter landed as he looked to his weapons. Grinning, he shot at Crankcase again while Crowbar swung at Arcee and Bulkhead.
"Guess we're rumbling!" Bulkhead yelled. He formed his wrecking ball while Arcee formed two arm blades. The two swung at Crowbar as he swung back.
Rowan ran at Dreadbot and Berserker, the two Decepticons shooting at him. Jumping out of the way of each shot, he found an opening and leapt through it. Soon, he spiraled at Dreadbot, cutting off an arm as he pulled the trigger. As Berserker prepared to attack, he placed his gauntlet onto the severed arm, causing it to turn and shoot Berserker in the face.
Rowan let out a yell and sent an energy slash at the two Dreads, causing them to explode. Letting out a grin, he charged straight at Optimus Prime and Motormaster as the two clashed swords.
Motormaster slammed his blade at Optimus Prime, who held up his shield in defense. Grunting, he pushed the blade away before striking back with his own. Motormaster dodged out of the way and pulled out his rifle. Just as he was about to shoot it, Rowan slashed it out of his hand.
"He's all yours, Optimus." Rowan said.
"Not yet!" Motormaster charged at Optimus, who simply discarded his chosen weapons before grabbing the sword.
"Motormaster… begone!" Optimus Prime exclaimed as he held the blade before swinging it, with Motormaster still clutched to it, into the side of the mountain.
Picking up his sword and shield, Optimus Prime made his way to his weapons array and placed them back.
"Rowan… let's go home." Optimus transformed back into his truck mode and opened his door.
Rowan smiled before seeing Motormaster retreat through a Ground Bridge. Narrowing his eyes, he got into Optimus Prime as the two drove back to the Base.
Dexter continued to shoot at Crankcase while Bulkhead slammed Crowbar away. As Dexter was continuing to strafe him down, Raven and Briar leapt up and slashed at him before getting hit by Miko's sword. Maddie slammed her new Energon hammer at him soon before Dexter placed his Bowguns together into a rifle.
"You're done!" Dexter yelled, firing at Crankcase.
Crankcase yelled from the blaster fire before a Ground Bridge appeared. Thinking quickly, he transformed and drove through it.
Arcee slashed at Crowbar, followed by Bulkhead slamming him into the portal. Before he fell through, Arcee shot right at him, inflicting more damage before it closed.
"Cons are taken care of," Arcee said before kneeling to Dexter. "You handled yourself out there well, Dexter."
"Thanks… Arcee, was it?" Dexter shrugged.
"Yep, now let's roll," Arcee transformed into her motorcycle form while Bulkhead transformed to let Raven, Briar, Maddie and Miko inside. "Time for you to meet Optimus."
"Whoa."
Everyone looked to see Ashlynn and Hunter approaching.
"Don't worry, they know too," Bulkhead said before opening the door, allowing Raven to get out and go to Dexter. "Come on in, guys."
"Wanna ride with me?" Dexter offers.
Raven nods and wraps her arms around Dexter. The two blush and smile before they race off.
At the Autobot Base, as the Energon Cubes were being unloaded, everyone was watching the reactions Blondie had taken of the new Knights that were protecting Ever After High.
"I honestly think Rowan has stepped up. Just wish I could have told him when I had the chance." Daring said.
"Raven has my support for saving me on day one." Ashlynn said.
"I know it's not in their destinies… but I still hope they're okay." Apple said at her bed.
"And there you have it. Everyone seems to be just right with our new Knights," Blondie said. "Stay tuned for more of what's right as we approach Legacy Day!"
"Your friend knows how to make a story," Ratchet said. "Good thing no one was there to see Bulkhead and Arcee transformed."
"She likes the big scoop." Ashlynn shrugged.
Optimus Prime walked over. "It is a privilege to meet you. Knights… and allies," he said, looking from Rowan, Raven, Briar and Dexter to Maddie, Miko, Ashlynn and Hunter. "While you may or may not have the potential to become Knights, you must respect our request to keep our existence a secret. We do not know when the Decepticons could strike again."
"You can count on us." Miko smiled.
"Bulkhead saved our lives," Ashlynn said. "He's already a friend to us."
"And you know you can trust me." Maddie said.
"I hope for more Knights to show themselves eventually," Optimus Prime said. "For all we know, the mining of Energon here could be the beginning. Something bigger is at play."
"Yeah," Rowan said. "I have a feeling that this Megatronus and Starscream aren't too happy."
Starscream angrily shot down a Vehicon Drone as Motormaster, Crowbar and Crankcase stood before him.
"You lost forty Energon Cubes to the Autobots and the humans?!" Starscream yelled.
"There are four knights now," Motormaster said. "If my team were there, we could—"
"No excuses!" Starscream snapped. "We need more results if we are to locate Megatron… and free Megatronus. Both will have our Sparks if we don't improve our situation."
At Ever After High that night, Milton Grimm was watching the news broadcast that Blondie made.
"Giant robots? Derailing destinies and knights?" Milton asked. He pinched his temple. "It seems destiny is changing already," he groaned, still unable to believe that twice, Raven had been able to avoid doing anything evil, and even more, she was starting to consider not signing the Storybook of Legends. "This cannot go on any longer. We must fix this before it is too late."
Watching from her room, as Raven as sleeping, Apple was watching her, thinking back to what she said earlier.
"I hope you stay safe, Raven," Apple said. "You, Rowan, Briar… for us… and our destinies."
Apple walked out the window and sighed. "What else can happen now?" she asked.
From another room, Melody Piper and her pink-haired roommate, Ginger Breadhouse, were getting ready for bed.
"What do you think of these knights?" Melody asked.
"Safer already," Ginger replied. "I, uh, think that these metal giants might not be so bad. What about you?"
"Depends," Melody said. "I wanna make sure I rock with the right crowd."
"Well, we'll know soon. I, uh, have somewhere I need to be tomorrow, so… good night." Ginger said before falling asleep.
Melody grinned. "Until the next day." She said before falling asleep as well.
As the two fell asleep, something started to beep. From the shared desk of the two was a flashing symbol… the Decepticon symbol.
One of the girls' eyes opened to see it before a smile came onto their face, eyes suddenly glowing red.
"All… hail… Megatron."
Author's Notes: Hope you liked this new Chapter. This one was quite harder to figure out, but I'm glad I got it done. I took elements from Transformers: Dark of the Moon for this, as well as some inspiration from Transformers Prime. And now, Dexter has become a Knight of Iacon. I also gave a brief look at the Decepticon spy, so now it's time for you to speculate. Please review, rate, and as always, if you can, Private Message me for anything on the story. After all, I'm always keen to hear from you. For now, this is SuperHeroTimeFan signing off. Have a great week, everyone! See you soon!
