Chapter 10: Winter Is Coming
After True Hearts Day, everyone was meeting up at the Autobot Base.
"Did you hear about Rogelio?" Raven asked.
"Yeah," Ashlynn nodded. "I don't know what's been getting into Grimm, but he didn't seem too fond that someone was resorting to blackmail to get what they wanted."
"Neither were my aunt and uncle," Hunter huffed. "That confession Rowan tricked him into making was put on his permanent record. No school is gonna accept him now."
"Okay, personal business aside…" Rowan started, having thought about the Heart Blossoms he had gotten on True Hearts Day. "We're now ready to explore the Winter Kingdom for more on how close Megatron came to finding the AllSpark."
"As I stated before, I have made legal absent notices for just one of you, so you can partner with an Autobot to explore the Winter Kingdom," Ratchet walked over and tapped his monitor, causing everyone's Talismans to glow. "You all now have climate protective armor. Not the kind that a Knight would don on them, but a thin transparent layer that will protect you from intense or mild heat or cold."
"Thanks, Ratch," Lizzie said. "Now… who's gonna go?"
"Well, I can't, because I have a test I need to prepare for," Raven said. "First one for Princessology."
"I'd go, but someone needs to help Grandfather with the barrier he's been planning," Marylyn shrugged. "It's supposed to warn everyone of an incoming Decepticon attack."
"Well, Ashlynn and Briar, how about you? Hunter too?" Rosabella suggested. "You're friends with Crystal, you can probably explain the situation better."
"Sorry, but I have to help clean up with Cupid after the party was done." Briar said.
"And Hunter and I have decided to come clean to Grimm." Ashlynn said.
"Well, I guess we have a good candidate you can send," Hot Rod stepped up. "Rowan Twain here."
"Wait, me?" Rowan asked, surprised. "Look, a note of absence can cover up a lot of things, but I doubt my schedule could cover an investigation into something that Grimm probably wouldn't approve of."
"Not true, really," Poppy said. "Grimm has been talking to the rest of us about your actions, and he thinks you deserve some time off from helping the school and mentoring the rest of us."
"Wow," Rowan said, surprised. "I guess I could go. This is personal for me too, after all."
"And I'm all upgraded for the cold," Hot Rod grinned. "We'll be just fine."
"I also sent a call to Crystal a while back to let her know about both the Scraplet problem and the search we're doing, without too many details," Briar added. "She said she'd meet whoever got sent at the satellite tower away from the Winter Kingdom, with a friend of hers too."
"Okay, we'll head off," Rowan said as Hot Rod transformed. "Raven, you think you can find some time to help train Poppy and Melody while I'm gone?"
"Sure thing." Raven nodded.
"If all goes well, I should be back soon," Rowan got into Hot Rod and pressed his Talisman, giving himself his cold protection armor. Plating appeared on his shoulders and knees, the color matching that of Hot Rod. "Roll Out."
Hot Rod complied as Ratchet opened up the Ground Bridge. Everyone joined their own Autobot companions and rode off back to school as Rowan and Hot Rod made their way to the Winter Kingdom.
Arriving at the Winter Kingdom, the Ground Bridge opened up. Hot Rod's tired changed to ride on the snowy terrain before heading up a hill.
"This is the Winter Kingdom, huh?" Rowan asked. "Never been here before, always too cold for me."
"Think of it as following in your father's footsteps," Hot Rod said before passing what appeared to be a strong igloo fortress. "Never saw that when we were here."
"Hey, what's that?" Rowan pointed to a polar bear watching them as they continued to drive.
"It looks familiar…" Hot Rod said as the polar bear ran up to the top, where a girl with winter clothing, pale skin and blue hair. This was Crystal Winter, daughter of the Snow King and the Snow Queen.
"Crystal!" Rowan smiled.
Hot Rod stopped in front of Crystal, allowing Rowan to walk out of him. As soon as he did, Hot Rod transformed into his robot mode.
"Rowan, it's nice to see you again." Crystal smiled.
"You too, Crystal," Rowan said before noticing the polar bear walk up. "That's a large bear."
"Oh, this is the friend I was telling you about," Crystal gestured to the polar bear as it transformed into a robot with red hands, chest details, kneecaps, and claws on both shoulders. "Meet the Autobot of the Winter Kingdom, Polar Claw."
"So you've become familiar with the Autobots too, I see." Rowan said.
"In that case, I'm Hot Rod," Hot Rod held his hand out. "Rowan's partner."
"I have heard much about you, and every other Autobot, who has inhabited the village of Book End, protector of Ever After High," Polar Claw said. "You have my respect."
"So, has Optimus told you anything about our mission here?" Rowan asked.
"Megatron being close to finding the AllSpark has been a matter of great urgency among all Autobots everywhere," Polar Claw said. "I have been with Crystal ever since I came out of stasis, and scanned this organic form in order to better serve the Winter Kingdom."
"Do you have any clues about what we can find out about Megatron and the AllSpark?" Hot Rod asked.
"Yes," Polar Claw gestured to the igloo base, where several sleds were being pulled out by other polar bears. "That convoy is headed towards a cottage near the palace, where we have kept the Scraplets frozen and everything on Megatron," he explained. "I will follow them on ground with Crystal, but because the Kingdom is not used to other Transformers, you will need a better mode of transportation."
"Which includes how important the Winter Kingdom has become," Crystal went on. "We've been adapting to technological advancements, and have been making our own vehicles in addition to our own ways."
"They have created a helicopter. A prototype, but still fast enough to out-fly even Starscream," Polar Claw brought up a screen on his arm to show the helicopter at the back. "It may not look like much, but with that, you will have an aerial advantage. Because I have scanned a native life form, I cannot adapt it, but you can, Hot Rod."
"Wait, you can be more than one kind of disguise?" Rowan asked.
"Triple-changing, Rowan," Hot Rod grinned. "Any 'Bot or 'Con can do it. They have enough storage in their memory banks to hold up to two or more different alt modes. That helicopter should help me out."
"Now this I have to see." Rowan smirked as Hot Rod transformed again, letting Rowan back in.
"I'll meet up with the guard and tell them our prototype is ready to assist us." Crystal said as Polar Claw transformed back into a polar bear. She climbed onto a sled that was also part of his transformation, and the two rode off.
From afar, a Cybertronian cat was catching what was happening. It let out a purr before running into the snow, camouflaging to disguise itself from prying eyes.
"All forces, Flip Side's Intel has neglected to mention the Autobots being involved. Move in and attack the convoy."
Hot Rod arrived at the back of the igloo fort and saw the helicopter. He let out Rowan and looked to the aircraft.
"Not a bad design." Hot Rod admired.
"So, how does this work?" Rowan asked.
"Like this." Two beams came from Hot Rod's eyes as he started to scan the helicopter. Stats of the vehicle poured through the fiery Autobot before he gained blades on his back and medium-sized shoulder pads. Soon, he started to transform again, but not into a car. His gears shifted, and he now had parts of his car mode in a new helicopter form, his blades spinning slowly.
"No, this is what I'm talking about!" Rowan grinned. He climbed into Hot Rod's new compartment, just as his Autobot partner flew off into the air.
"Rowan, I've let the guards know about our protection," Crystal said through her MirrorPhone as she watched Hot Rod fly up. "We're heading off now."
"On our way." Hot Rod flew over the convoy, the blades now spinning faster.
"Let's go." Rowan said as everyone made their way back to the Winter Kingdom.
"Don't let them get there first." The Cybertronian cat ordered as a Vehicon drove up.
"Halt in the name of the Winter Family!" a guard ordered.
"The Decepticons are here!" Rowan gasped.
"Come on!" Hot Rod called, preparing to transform.
"No, not yet," Polar Claw said. "The Winter Kingdom is still not trusting of other Autobots now that they are aware of Decepticons. Maintain your cover and help to protect the convoy."
"Got it." Rowan said as he climbed out. He armed himself with his sword and sent forth two sonic slashes as Hot Rod fired at the Vehicon, taking it out.
"Keep moving!" Crystal ordered.
"Send in the reinforcements." A voice called, a new one, from the air.
More Vehicons approached, but Polar Claw ran and slashed at them, keeping up his polar bear disguise, while Hot Rod continued to fire at them. With two of them out of the way, Rowan leapt down and slashed at another, causing it to lose its footing. He took advantage of this and leapt in the way of the dazed Vehicon, just as another shot at it while trying to shoot him. He leapt at him and stabbed him in the chest before jumping back to Hot Rod.
"Good work," Crystal called as the guards looked up. "He's a friend, here to help."
"Forward! And keep up the defense!" a guard ordered as the convoy started to move once again.
"Crystal, your father has sent word that he will be waiting for our arrival." Polar Claw said.
"We'll be sure to meet him once we get back to the Palace." Crystal said.
"I'll scout ahead." Hot Rod flew ahead as more Vehicons prepared to attack. Sending out fiery missiles, they took out the Vehicons without destroying the pillars.
"Wait, is that… fire?" Crystal asked nervously.
"His name is Hot Rod for a reason." Rowan said.
"Rowan, fire is dangerous here," Crystal said as the convoy continued to move warily. "It could hurt us greatly."
"I'm sorry, Crystal, but we have to do this. Not all fire is bad," Rowan reassured as everyone started to near the Winter Palace. "Trust me, you'll see."
Soon, with all the Vehicons cleared, the convoy made it into the Winter Palace.
At a cliff overlooking the palace, the Snow King, a man with winter clothes and an icy staff in his hands, was seeing what had happened. Crystal, Rowan, Hot Rod and Polar Claw all approached him, the former getting off of their rides and walking forward.
"Hi, Dad." Crystal said.
"Seems like there was some trouble on the way here, I see." The Snow King said.
"Yes, but we had help," Crystal gestured to Rowan. "This is Rowan Twain, son of King Arthur. Briar and Ashlynn have mentioned him several times."
"Ah, yes, young Rowan," the Snow King smiled before seeing Polar Claw and Hot Rod. He walked up and showed off his staff, revealing the Autobot Insignia in the same symbol of the Knights of Iacon. "Polar Claw, pleasure to see you again. I see that Rowan has brought a friend this time."
Polar Claw and Hot Rod transformed.
"You're a member of the Society of the Transformers." Hot Rod realized.
"Edmund was the last one inducted, not the last of the Society," the Snow King said. "We of the Winter Kingdom know of the existence of those from Cybertron. Me and my queen were once members too, and still keep in touch with Merlin."
"He goes by Edmund Burton now." Rowan said.
"Oh," the Snow King said. "That's probably why my messages are always sent back to me. I forgot that he regenerates," he mused. "But I have been told by Polar Claw the situation you face, Rowan. Indeed, Megatron was found here by your father, and we helped to move him away. Some of his technology was used to create our machinery which we use to bring winter to the land."
"And making the helicopter that Hot Rod scanned too?" Rowan asked.
"Yes, and I can see good coloring on your partner," the Snow King said. "While I do question his elemental use, I am grateful that you are helping to protect our kingdom."
"Just doing what the Knights of Iacon are known for, your Highness." Rowan bowed.
"If any Decepticons try to get in, we shall be ready." The Snow King said.
"Purr-fect. Just what I wanted to hear."
"No…" Polar Claw growled.
"Not her again." Hot Rod rolled his optics.
Everyone turned to see the Cybertronian cat approach. It was white with purple streaks, and had a tail that looked like an icicle. It soon transformed, and turned into a female feline Decepticon with icicles armed on its under-arms, with two Decepticon logos on the chest.
"Snow Cat." Polar Claw growled.
"Really?" Crystal chuckled. "You're kidding?"
"What's wrong with my name?" Snow Cat purred. "Cyclonus and Scatterstorm like it."
"Yeah, well they're Decepticons," Rowan smirked. "Let me guess, Flip Side tipped you off about what was going on here?"
"I knew what was going on, and was told by Commander Starscream to coordinate the mission," Snow Cat crawled and stalked everyone before looking down to the palace. "I helped to infiltrate many of your bases alongside Flip Side, after all."
"You have escaped custody for countless millennia," Polar Claw said. "That changes now."
"You might want to focus on your priorities," Snow Cat smirked. She looked down and snapped her fingers. "Decepticons, mobilize!"
Several Vehicons appeared from the snow and started to charge at the palace. As they did, the guards ran out with halberds, only to get blasted or knocked away.
"Oh no!" Crystal gasped.
"Hot Rod, with me!" Rowan called as he grabbed Crystal. "I'm taking you to safety!"
"Wait, let me help!" Crystal interrupted as Hot Rod transformed while Polar Claw took out a rifle. "I don't know how, but I want to help you out."
"In that case, you can use this," Polar Claw handed Crystal a small blaster with a snowflake symbol on it. "Wheeljack made it just in case."
"How does it work?" Crystal asked.
"Just go with the snow." Polar Claw smiled.
Crystal smiled before loading some snow into the blaster. She saw it charge up before everyone headed down.
"Go ahead," Snow Cat smirked slyly. "I'll make it worth your while."
"Stay back!"
"Don't let them in!"
Two teens from inside the factory watched as the Vehicons attacks. Both of them had winter clothing. One was a female with a midriff and slightly green clothes while the other had dark blue clothes. These were Jackie Frost and Northwind.
"Whoa, this looks intense, Jackie!" Northwind exclaimed.
"Perfect chance to get out and stop counting snowflakes," Jackie grinned. "Come on, before it gets too—"
Hot Rod flew over and fired at several Vehicons before transforming, his sword armed. He slammed it down and sent out several flames that caused the ice beneath seven Vehicons to melt before they fell through.
"He uses fire?!" Jackie exclaimed.
Rowan ran in with Crystal and Polar Claw, slashing at several other Vehicons. The guards stopped fighting and noticed what was happening as Polar Claw sent out several blasts that destroyed ten more Vehicons.
"These two are on our side!" the Snow King called. "Focus on the remaining giants!"
The guards complied and started to toss their weapons at some of the Vehicons. Some of them swatted them aside while others were pinned by the weapons.
"Come on, how does this work?" Crystal aimed her blaster at an advancing Vehicon and pulled the trigger. Soon, blasts of icicles came out, and they energized to pierce it through the chest before freezing and shattering. "That is snow awesome!" she grinned.
Rowan spun around and slashed at several Vehicons, sending energy waves at each of them. As he did, Hot Rod shot fire at others before using his sword to slash through them.
Polar Claw aimed his rifle at many of the Vehicons, firing at them and spinning to get out of the way. One of them tried to slash at him, but he transformed back into his bear form and gnawed at it before transforming back, now armed with two claws. He slashed through each of the Vehicons before reaching the last one, who he impaled through the chest.
"That's the last of them," Rowan looked to Crystal, having used only her blaster to take down seventeen Vehicons total. The two smiled before making their way to the factory door, which was damaged from all the hits the Decepticons made trying to get in. "Now, to find out what we can about Megatron and the AllSpark here."
"I've been meaning to ask about this AllSpark War," Crystal said before Hot Rod and Polar Claw joined up with them. "You said it gave everyone life, right? Even Optimus Prime and Megatron?"
"Yeah," Rowan nodded. "Why?"
"How did Optimus and Megatron turn out so different?" Crystal asked. "Those two used to be brothers, from what Polar Claw told me."
"I asked the same thing," Rowan said. "The AllSpark gave all Cybertronians free will, which made everyone make their own choices, both good and bad. Megatron wanted to rule through brute force. Optimus wanted to fight for freedom like his the previous ones who held the Matrix of Leadership. Their contrasting ideals created the war when all tensions rose too high. It was inevitable for them to chase the AllSpark so that one idea could be decided over the other."
"That's sad, and a bit reckless," Crystal cringed, disturbed at how the War for Cybertron started. "Well, the best we can do for the Autobots is to help them find a new way, I guess."
"Yeah," Rowan nodded and saw Jackie and Northwind hiding behind a machine. "Hey, you can come out now. We took care of the Vehicons outside."
"Jackie, Northwind, it's alright." Crystal reassured.
"There are still some in here," Northwind pointed to a passage down to another room. "We didn't know about that passage until they broke through."
"We'll take a look." Hot Rod and Polar Claw raced down.
"Stay here, you're doing great." Crystal smiled as she and Rowan followed.
"What is this?" Rowan asked as the Snow King joined up. Next to him was a woman with a regal winter dress. This was the Snow Queen.
"We kept this here in our days of a part of the Society," the Snow Queen explained. "Only a select few know about this place."
"What's in here?" Hot Rod asked.
"Data on what we knew of Megatron when he was identified to us by Alpha Trion to us," the Snow King said. "Somehow, I knew the Decepticons would one day discover this."
"Look!" Crystal pointed to a Decepticon at a terminal. "They're trying to scan that computer!"
"Not for long." Polar Claw drew his claws and ran forward, only for more Vehicons to get in the way.
"Look out!" Crystal fired several blasts at some of the Vehicons while Rowan slashed down several more.
As Rowan locked blades with another, Hot Rod cut it down before Polar Claw slashed apart the scanning Vehicon. Looking to the terminal, he carefully picked it up and scanned it.
"Interesting." Polar Claw said.
"What is it, Polar Claw?" Rowan asked.
"Seems that there was another human group who knew about Megatron's existence, and they were the ones who moved him away," Polar Claw said. "As you and the other Autobots had discovered, Rowan Twain and Hot Rod, he has been moved to somewhere under the school."
"Wait, Megatron was relocated there?!" the Snow Queen asked, horrified.
"We suspect Milton was behind it." Rowan sneered.
"Evidence shows it, and that the AllSpark was close when King Arthur led his Knights of the Round Table before both were discovered," Polar Claw said as Jackie and Northwind listened in. "There are more files on here, but I am unable to decipher it."
"Maybe Big Bot can," Hot Rod touched the side of his head. "Prime, we need to upload some data to you," he called, but got no response. "Optimus, are you receiving?"
"Hot Rod, Polar Claw," Optimus Prime's voice came through. "There is too… interference. See if… boost your… sig…"
"Too much interference," Polar Claw sighed. "I suspect this is Snow Cat's doing, or someone else's."
"That's not good." Crystal said.
"What do we do?" Rowan asked.
"Adapt and overcome," Hot Rod looked out the window. "The Transmission Tower we rendezvoused at should help to boost the signal."
"I shall hold onto the data," Polar Claw said. "But I suspect Snow Cat and her forces will already be aware of who would be in possession of the data, and want to get it first."
"I'll cover you," Hot Rod transformed and let Rowan and Crystal in while Polar Claw transformed and allowed the Snow King and Snow Queen to ride on him. "Any 'Con tries to attack, they'll have to go through me and Rowan first."
"Roll Out." Polar Claw ran out with Hot Rod flying on ahead. Seeing several flying Decepticons up ahead, he fired at them.
"It is different up here than on the ground with Polar Claw." Crystal awed at the sky.
"Same," Rowan nodded. "I never even knew the Autobots could take on other forms."
"You really like to play with fire, Rowan, figuratively and literally," Crystal said. "Rowan, how can you use a dangerous element like fire? To us, it's deadly."
"Not all fire is used for bad purposes," Rowan reassured. "It, like any element, can be used to protect. If it were only cold down below, how else do you think we'd stay warm? How do you think we would have ice without a little fire? Everything needs a balance, something to make them feel at ease."
Crystal smiled. "You seem to be at ease with me." She smirked.
"Well, you seem to know how to handle yourself," Rowan said. "There's so much out there that everyone is either too afraid of or too afraid to accept. You don't seem to fit in with either. You're brave in your own way. It's hard to find that in any princess or a friend."
"Thanks," Crystal felt herself blush before Hot Rod shot down two other Vehicons as everyone neared the Transmission Tower. "Here we are."
"Alright," Polar Claw and Hot Rod let out the humans and started to get ready for their transmission. "This should do the trick in getting the signal through."
"I don't think you're gonna be leaving with that data."
Everyone turned to see Snow Cat tunnel out from the ground and transform, a sword resembling a cat's tail in her hand.
"Commander Starscream will need it more than your Prime."
"Snow Cat," Polar Claw glared. "Give it up."
"You can't defeat two Autobots and a Knight of Iacon," Hot Rod warned. "Surrender now or face the consequences."
"Oh, but that's why I'm not stupid," Snow Cat purred as a jet started to fly in. "I was smart… and requested a Knight of Kaon assist me on coordinating and leading this mission."
"Wait… is that…?" Polar Claw narrowed his optics.
"Run." Hot Rod gasped.
The jet fired several missiles, each one nearly hitting the two, Rowan, Crystal and her parents before it transformed into a Decepticon, similar in color to Starscream, only with a blaster on the right arm and with missiles under the arms, with some tank treads on the legs. This was Blitzwing.
"Who… who is that?" Rowan gasped as he shielded Crystal from the blasts.
"I am a Knight of Kaon, and fellow Seeker to Commander Starscream. I am Blitzwing."
"Second in command, and second rate," Hot Rod snarled. "You did a number on Bumblebee during the Decepticon Siege."
"Yes, we left your resistance in ruins," Blitzwing smirked. "A shame that you left the Planet before we could do more."
"A shame you won't be around next time to ruin another Planet." Rowan glared and let his sword transform from his Talisman. From it came flames that burned away some of the snow.
"Rowan…" Crystal awed.
"Stay back," Rowan warned. "Things are about to get hot in here."
"So you say." Blitzwing fired at Rowan, who ran out of the way while Snow Cat leapt at Polar Claw.
"Hold on!" Hot Rod sent fire blasts at Snow Cat, forcing her back before he was tackled by Blitzwing.
"Keep the fight here!" Polar Claw ordered as he looked to his transmitter. "We cannot move until the upload is complete!"
"Then let me relieve you of duty." Snow Cat grinned and slashed at Polar Claw, but he held up his claws.
"You truly are the worst cat of Cybertron." Polar Claw glared.
Snow Cat broke off and spun around, slashing at Polar Claw's dual claws. The two clashed with each other, creating sparks that flew onto the ground.
Blitzwing flew at Hot Rod, dragging him through the snow. Hot Rod groaned and let out an arm blade before slashing at him and sending a blast of fire. As he was sent back, Rowan sent a fire energy slash at him, causing him to fall forward.
"So, what the others say is true," Blitzwing let out his own arm blade, one that had the shape of a jagged rocket. "Let's put your skills to the test."
Rowan stood ready as Blitzwing swung at him. He leapt back from one swing before locking with him the second time. He sent the blade to the side to let Hot Rod slash at him. As Blitzwing sent him away with several blasts of fire of his own, Rowan leapt at him and locked with him, keeping him pinned down.
"Don't think I'm a pushover." Rowan glared.
"Don't think you can escape." Blitzwing spat before slashing Rowan off. As soon as he landed on the ground, he sent another missile at him, sending him into the air.
"Rowan!" Crystal gasped. She took out her ice blaster and aimed it at Blitzwing as he started to aim.
"One Knight less." Blitzwing smirked.
"Slag yourself." Crystal fired and froze his arm before Rowan regained his balance.
"One Knight more." Rowan spat before spinning down, creating a fire vortex. He slammed onto Blitzwing and slashed him away before locking blades as he slashed at him again.
"You know more than the others," Blitzwing glared. "Where is the AllSpark?"
"I'll never talk." Rowan glared.
"Then let's make it official." Blitzwing covered his sword with ice as Rowan lit his sword with fire.
"Frost and flame, a classic duel."
"Winter is coming. Your death is sooner." Blitzwing swung at Rowan, who swung back. The blades of ice and fire created smoking sparks that were sent across the hill before Hot Rod slashed as well. With two blades of fire against one of ice, Blitzwing fired at the two, but they pressed on and slashed at him, all three eventually locking.
Polar Claw stared Snow Cat down as she kept her sword at the ready. He held his claws and backed away as she slammed it at him before spinning her around. Lunging a claw forward, she dodged to the side, but was unable to evade another strike that went for her helmet. She grunted as she was pushed back before a shoulder missile launcher appeared on her.
"Not bad, Poly," Snow Cat smirked. "Now let's see if you're fast enough for what I have next."
"You will not win this time, Snow Cat." Polar Claw readied his claws.
"Keep telling yourself that." Snow Cat sent several missiles into the air that turned into fiery flares. They all fired down, and soon, they started to rain onto Polar Claw.
"Polar Claw!" Crystal cried. She noticed a missile and shot at it before shooting at Snow Cat's launcher, causing it to clog up and explode.
"Your terror ends now!" Polar Claw rushed at Snow Cat and slashed her, sending her crashing into the ground.
Hot Rod broke off with Blitzwing and slashed one of his wings while Rowan spun his sword around. Letting the fire spread, he flew up, rocketing himself off of the ground, before slamming his sword at him, sending his own sword flying out of his hand. With him disarmed, Rowan absorbed the heat from the remaining flare missiles into his sword before stabbing down into the ground. The ground started to split before Blitzwing fell in.
"Get out!" Rowan called as his absorbed fire was sent into the crevice. Soon, an explosion went off along the line of fire, and Blitzwing was sent flying near Snow Cat, his sword landing inches next to his head.
"If you think you've won, you're mistaken," Blitzwing said. "Megatron shall return soon. Your destruction shall come even sooner!" he transformed into his jet and let Snow Cat jump onto him before flying away.
Rowan dropped to his knees, exhausted, while Polar Claw helped Hot Rod to regain his footing.
"That was close." Hot Rod said.
"We were lucky enough to keep the battle here. Any closer to the Palace, and it would have been done for." Rowan sighed.
"We are fairy thankful for your help," the Snow King said. "Did you get what you needed?"
"Optimus, did you get the data?" Polar Claw called.
"Affirmative," Optimus Prime confirmed. "We are receiving the full data now. But it would appear that another base in the 1001 Deserts holds a copy of the data. You will need to have Rowan and Hot Rod go there to ensure that the Decepticons to not cause any more damage. No doubt that they have already sent their forces."
"We'll do our best to stop them, Optimus." Rowan said.
"Rest up, and head to the 1001 Deserts as soon as you can. Prime out." Optimus Prime ended the transmission.
"Well, you need to cool off from that battle." Crystal said. "There's room in the Palace for you and Hot Rod."
"You offering a place for us to stay until we recover?" Rowan asked.
"The least we could do, especially now that we know not all fire is bad." Crystal said.
"You were pretty brave yourself, Crystal." Rowan smiled.
"She does have a long way to becoming the next Snow Queen, but she is getting there." The Snow Queen smiled.
Back at the Palace, everyone was celebrating the victory, with Rowan and Hot Rod relaxing as they watched a hockey game. As they did, Jackie and Northwind scowled.
"We work our butts off, and the son of King Crazy and that metal giant get all the glory?!" Jackie snapped. "I can't believe it! That is snow unfair!"
"You think we'd get better treatment if we did something?" Northwind asked.
"We can't even get a raise." Jackie glared.
"Well, maybe we wouldn't have to…" Northwind started. "I mean, if we took over the Kingdom."
"Northwind, you're a genius!" Jackie grinned.
"I am?"
"We need to find a way to take over Winter, and soon, we'll be living the life, and that prissy princess won't have a place as next in line," Jackie said. "We just need to wait for our moment… and with any luck, if that Autobot isn't around, or any of his friends too, we can strike."
Hot Rod smiled as he looked to Rowan. "You know, this is the first time a party has ever been thrown for an Autobot in history." He smirked.
"First time a good party has been thrown for me," Rowan noted. "Every other time, people think of me as crazy due to my Dad."
"Who your Dad was to others is up for them to give an opinion," Hot Rod said. "He doesn't define you, you define yourself."
Rowan grinned. "You've got the makings of a Prime, you know." He said.
"One of these days, Rowan. One of these days."
Rowan chuckled before seeing a tapestry on the wall. It was showing his father in battle, and was made so that Hot Rod was with him. However, it also had him facing off against Mordred, and with him was what appeared to be a Decepticon with golden eyes and a body similar to Megatron's, only dark-purple and gold instead of grey and black.
"Um, your Highness? Who's that with Mordred?" Rowan asked.
"You see, the Society has existed for a long time, and in that time, some Decepticons were known to have appeared in legend," the Snow King explained. "When Arthur faced Mordred, he of course didn't have Hot Rod alongside him, but Mordred was allied with a Decepticon, one whom Alpha Trion identified as Galvatron."
"Galvatron?"
"Alpha Trion said that he was the warmonger who trained Megatron," the Snow King said. "And was there in your father's final battle with Mordred, who assisted him. The only other who knew more about Galvatron and the other Decepticons was Targaryen."
"That story, huh?" Rowan asked.
"We try not to go into that too much, but we suspect that their followers still lurk around to this very day," the Snow King said. "But enough about the past. You and Hot Rod have a mission, and a party to celebrate your victory."
Rowan smiled and got back to the party, but made a mental note to ask about Galvatron later on.
Later, after Rowan and Hot Rod had gotten a proper rest, he and Hot Rod prepared to leave.
"I hope you can come back soon." Crystal said as Hot Rod and Rowan started to walk out.
"When we do, I hope for you to be ready to rule like the warrior you were today." Rowan smiled.
"Then, from the future Queen of Winter…" Crystal pecked Rowan on the cheek. "Thank you."
Rowan felt his cheek before Hot Rod transformed. Letting him in, the two turned and blushed.
"So, Ladies' Man…" Hot Rod teased. "What now?"
"Tell Ratchet to get some more absent notices ready. We'll need help for the 1001 Deserts."
"Just wait 'till the others hear about this."
"Please don't."
