Chapter 13: The Aftermath
Welcome to Ever After High, a place of Fairy Tales, love, drama, and now, the Transformers.
A week had passed since the major battle on Thronecoming. Look around. Energon Sensors and long-range scanners, and the AllSpark, soon to be guarded.
Good job, Brooke. But where is Raven Queen?
Ravenicus Prime, Dad. And she's flying, like she was meant to.
The Blackbird flew through the air as Raven sat in the pilot's seat. While she never had any formal flying lessons, flying this jet was easy since it was an extension of herself. Like there was a psychic connection between it and her. Then again, it did become her gigantic robot body whenever she transforms into its head.
With Edmund Burton and Giles as the Headmasters, things were changing in Ever After High. Even Raven was embracing her new destiny. Becoming a Prime, becoming an Autobot… Hex, she loved every second of it. However, part of her was intimidated by her new status. Fortunately, she was not alone. She had Rodimus Prime and Optimus Prime to help her.
As Ravenicus Prime flew, Rodimus Prime joined her.
"Let's do this," Ravenicus Prime flew to a mine, where lasers were sent back and forth.
At a mine, several Vehicons were firing at Arcee and Sandstorm, who were returning fire. Poppy leapt out from her hiding space, using her hair flails to deflect several shots before Dexter started to shoot back.
"Whoa!" Apple dodged out of the way of a blast and summoned her sword, deflecting more incoming blasts. As she was, she saw Smokescreen and Bumblebee loading Energon Cubes onto a small trailer.
"Almost there!" Arcee said.
"Does this happen all the time you go on these missions?!" Apple yelled as she, Dexter and Poppy hid behind some rocks to take cover.
"Pretty much, yeah." Dexter nodded.
"This is the fifth mine we've hit this week!" Poppy returned fire, downing several Vehicons. "Megatron must be losing his cool right now."
"When is air support coming?" Apple asked.
"Say please."
Apple smirked and fired at a Vehicon as two flying vehicles passed over them. "You're slagged."
Up above, Rodimus Prime was firing in his helicopter mode while Raven, as Ravenicus Prime, fired down on more troops. Landing down, she transformed and slammed the Skybreaker down, causing several troops to go flying. Sending out a sonic wave, she transformed into her truck mode and leapt out in her armor, her wings forming an over-shield over her chest. Taking out the Skybreaker again, she deflected more blasts as Arcee and Sandstorm loaded more Energon Cubes into her trailer.
"Sorry I was late," Raven ran to Apple as the two deflected blasts together. "I couldn't shake off Ratchet."
"What did he want?" Apple asked.
"To run some tests on me," Raven slashed a Vehicon's foot. "Says that even though I'm a Prime, I need to be examined after taking that hit for you."
"How long have you been holding this off?" Apple asked.
"The whole week."
"Raven, you were shot right through the whole body!" Apple yelled, surprised. "No wonder he needs to run those tests!"
"His tests take as long as Rumpelstiltskin's class!" Raven argued. "Besides, we've got more important things to handle."
Rodimus Prime landed, and Rowan leapt out, sending more sonic booms. Each of the Vehicons were slashed to pieces before he landed, now sporting an over-shield similar to Optimus Prime's armor.
"You done yet?" Rowan asked.
"Loaded!" Sandstorm confirmed.
"Go!" Raven leapt back into her truck mode.
Apple smirked and leapt up, her Talisman charging up. With it, she fired at some stray Energon Crystals before everyone made their way out towards a Ground Bridge, just as the mine collapsed.
"Knights, Autobots," Rowan announced as Rodimus Prime landed and drove with them in his armored car form. "Another victory!" he raised his sword into the air.
"We are on a roll!" Dexter yelled as everyone cheered.
"Let's get these back to base," Raven said before seeing the stats of her truck mode. "This could use a change." She said to herself.
At the Nemesis, Megatron growled as he saw what had happened through Soundwave's face screen. Composing himself, he walked forward, where Starscream greeted him with a bow.
"It appears, that with the rise of two new Primes, the favor of the War is turning more in favor… of the Autobots now." Megatron mused.
"Many a Prime have been slain before. Who's to say they cannot be slain again?" Starscream smirked.
"The last time we acted against the Autobots, and their human allies, it was out of rage, and pride," Megatron said. "I was ambitious to gain the power of the AllSpark. Now, I know that we must start biding our time if we are to have any hope of claiming it for what is to come."
"With the girl, Raven Queen, now as Ravenicus Prime, the AllSpark is sure to be well-protected at Ever After High," Starscream sighed. "The Autobots would not be so foolish to let down their guards. Same goes for the humans."
"Human…" Megatron pondered. He turned around as the door opened, revealing Flip Side.
"Forgive my late arrival, Lord Megatron," Flip Side bowed. "I was salvaging what Energon could be saved from our last mine." She gestured to a hover-cart that had ten cubes of Energon on it.
"Flip Side, I understand you were stationed in the village of Book End," Megatron ignored the excuse. "And at Ever After High itself too, am I correct?"
"Yes, Lord Megatron. I was." Flip Side nodded.
"What are those humans capable of?" Megatron asked.
"My lord?" Starscream asked, confused.
"We cannot make a definite move until we know what we are dealing with. I was ambitious and overconfident in our first assault to take the AllSpark," Megatron explained. "Now, once more, Agent Flip Side… what more is there to the students of that school?"
Flip Side smirked. "Let me tell you a couple interesting facts…"
At the Autobot Base, the rest of the Knights were coming in through separate Ground Bridges. Briar emerged from Bulkhead with Jazz and Melody alongside them while Cerise ran in with Thunderhowl and Grimlock right behind her. As soon as they entered, Ravenicus Prime, Smokescreen, Rodimus Prime, Arcee and Sandstorm came in, Ravenicus Prime slowing down with the Energon Cubes in her.
"Another successful run," Rowan grinned as he got out of Rodimus Prime. "Optimus still not back yet?"
"No, not yet," Ratchet shook his head. "Locating that signal from Ultra Magnus seems to be taking longer than we expected?"
"Signal?" Apple asked.
"Oh, that's right. It happened after you got knighted," Rowan realized. "See, before we got back to the dance, Optimus received a signal from his second-in-command, Ultra Magnus, leading more Autobots. He stayed to watch the votes get in, but when it was all done, he had to leave."
"No wonder he was in a hurry," Ravenicus Prime transformed out of Truck Mode and glowed, returning back as Raven Queen. With the last of the Energon Cubes out of her truck's trailer, she absorbed it back into her hand. "I swear, that's getting bulky."
"Does it ever feel uncomfortable having people or things inside of you?" Briar asked.
"What?" Raven turned around. "Oh, no. It's not me that's the vehicle, I just become the head. The vehicle, and by extension, the robot, are what I become a part of when I become Ravenicus Prime. It would be disturbing if everything about my actual body shifted and detached from me."
"Don't paint the picture please." Poppy cringed.
"Well, now that everything has been let out, let's start training," Raven took out her Skybreaker. "Into pairs, like we did before."
"Um, Raven?" Apple spoke up. "I hope you don't mind me asking, but how did your sword become known as Skybreaker? I get that Rowan has Excalibur, but… what about yours and the swords that Optimus and Rodimus have?"
"Well, as far as I can remember, each weapon of the Primes was named by Solus Prime for their strength and power," Raven pondered. "I'm only starting to remember a little, but I know that I got the name Skybreaker after fighting Megatronus in the sky during his attack on the Primes at Cybertron."
"Makes sense," Apple nodded. "So, could we give our own swords some names? I don't just want to ask for a sword from someone random."
"What did you have in mind?" Rowan asked.
Apple grinned and summoned her sword, spinning around before she aimed it to the sky. "Golden Dawn." She smiled.
"I think I'll name mine… Aurora Rose." Briar let out her blade.
"Lunar Edges for mine!" Cerise called as she summoned her swords.
"I present… the Music Master." Melody announced, showing off her unique sword.
"Okay," Rowan smiled. "This is exactly what we needed. We get song more Knights, they'll have their own swords named too."
"Someone will have to record these names too." Ratchet sighed as he got back to work."
"Hey, Doc-Bot," Smokescreen walked over. "What is that?"
"A project, still in development," Ratchet explained. "If it works correctly, we should be able to repair and reformat ourselves while using as little Energon as possible."
"Reformatting sounds good," Jazz grinned. "I could use some myself."
Ratchet sighed as he looked to Raven. "There's still more we need to know." He muttered quietly.
At a canyon, a limo was passing by. Optimus Prime, with his trailer attached, drove by it before arriving in the ravine. He transformed into his Robot Mode, and as he did, a blue and red Autobot with tall shoulders and a hammer on his back walked forward. This was Ultra Magnus.
"Optimus, a pleasure to see you again," Ultra Magnus said. "I heard the news of the fight at Ever After High. Hope has been spreading to all Autobot stations across the Planet."
"The news of Ravenicus Prime returning is welcome news, as is the rise of Hot Rod to Rodimus Prime," Optimus Prime nodded. "You should be proud of your pupil."
"I taught him all I know," Ultra Magnus smiled. "But you know that I'm not here to relish in good news."
"You said you had a report of your own," Optimus Prime reaffirmed his attention. "What is it?"
"We have been receiving rumors, rumors that tell of a potential Decepticon hidden amongst the Autobot ranks," Ultra Magnus said. "Sunstreaker and Sideburn both reported it, and after that, we got more confirmation coming from Rack 'N Ruin, Erector and Kup. I did not wish to discuss this in front of your troops, especially since you had been dealing with Decepticon spies of your own."
"Do the field commanders have any suspects?" Optimus Prime asked concerned.
"A few, but in case, I have dispatched Prowl, Inferno, Hotshot and a few other Autobots to join you, for extra precaution," Ultra Magnus said. "I also asked that we meet in person for this in case the Decepticons hack into our communication chatter like Soundwave would always do."
"Very wise, old friend," Optimus Prime said. "In time, I will disclose this to my fellow Autobots. For now, fight the good fight, and join us when you are ready."
"It will be an honor to fight alongside you, especially with my pupil and the great Ravenicus Prime." Ultra Magnus nodded.
Later, Raven and Rodimus Prime were with Ratchet.
"Are all these tests necessary, Ratchet?" Raven asked as she sat on a large medical bed. Rodimus was next to her, hooked up to some machine.
"Raven, you're the first case of an organic being who became infused by the power of the Matrix," Ratchet informed her. "It altered your physiology. Making you Techno-Organic. We need to understand what has happened to you."
"The Matrix chose her, Doc-Bot," Rodimus said. "What else is there to understand?"
"Well, her lifespan, for instance," Ratchet said.
"My lifespan?" Raven echoed.
"Raven, you've become part Cybertronian and our species have a long lifespan. Some as long as millions, maybe billions years old. You may never age at all," Ratchet informed her.
"So, what, I'm immortal?" Raven's eyes widened.
"Well, you won't live forever, but compared to your classmates, you'll eventually outlive them."
"Doc-Bot, I don't think it's a good idea to dump all that on her," Rodimus observed as Raven looked stunned. "You know the human side of her won't take this well. Same with her friends."
"I know, and I am trying to find ways around it," Ratchet said. "But until then, this is the only news I can supply you with. However long it takes for me to find better news is beyond me," he frowned. "I'm sorry."
"I was looking forward to becoming a Prime when it meant I didn't have to walk in my mom's footsteps. I never really stopped to think about how much it would change my life," Raven looked at her hand. "I'm going to outlive everyone I love."
Rodimus Prime frowned. "You still need me, Doc?"
Ratchet shook his head.
"Go and join the others," Raven frowned. "I need some time to myself."
Ratchet watched as Rodimus Prime transformed and drove off. Getting to his computer, he started to run more tests.
"There has to be something I'm missing." Ratchet narrowed his optics.
At Ever After High, everyone was busy going around their day. Edmund Burton was with Cogman and Giles, looking to a room with security systems all around, being set up by Humphrey and Dexter. In the middle of the room, floating in a suspension lock, was the AllSpark.
"Okay, everything is set," Wheelie walked over with Brains. "We've seen Shockwave do these kinds of things dozens of times."
"And they don't call me Brains for nothing," Brains added. "Not even Megatron himself could penetrate this room."
"The last thing we need is for the Decepticons to attack again, and claim the AllSpark this time," Giles said. "Out of all the things my brother has done, I wish keeping the AllSpark and Megatron was not one of them."
"Out of many things." Dexter crossed his arms.
"For now, this is our best system to keep the AllSpark out of Decepticon Hands," Edmund said. "We will find another way, one that can confuse the Decepticons long enough."
Outside, Rowan was training Apple in close combat. Many students around them stopped walking to watch the sparring session as they clashed back and forth.
"One, two, three, four…" Rowan swung his sword at Apple, who blocked with her Golden Dawn in a rhythmic pattern. "Again. Repeat."
"They're getting good." Marylyn noted.
"From the adopted daughter of one who served in an army for over a decade, I can see just how committed Apple is to fighting the Decepticons," Miko said. "She fought Megatron like she was born to do it."
"I just hope it's enough." Marylyn nodded.
Rowan continued to instruct Apple before the two locked.
"You're getting better," Rowan grinned. "How did you learn to fight so well on your first try anyway?"
"Well, I've been watching you on the MirrorCast," Apple admitted. "Honestly, I wasn't too sure on Raven fighting at first, but the more the Decepticons attacked, the more I started to see things would never be the same. I just wish I could have realized it sooner."
"Not your fault," Rowan broke off with Apple as she swung at his back, causing him to place his sword behind him in defense. "It takes time for a lot of us to adjust to the changes. I'm glad you did. You're a better person than you were at the start of the year."
"Thanks," Apple blushed before locking with Rowan again. "Though I have something to ask about Raven now that she's Ravenicus Prime."
"Lay it on me." Rowan said.
Before Apple could ask her question, the sound of tires rolling caught her and everyone's attention. The two broke off to see a truck with a tarp on top roll in. It transformed into a robot with the back half turning into a market table of some sort with various objects on it. This was Daytrader.
"Trading time!" Daytrader called.
"Awesome, he's back!" Sparrow grinned.
"Let's see what he's got for weapons this time." Daring said.
"Daytrader, good to see you again," Daytrader turned to see the rest of the Autobots approaching. "What have you got for us today?"
"Let's see, some stuff from King's Landing, mostly swords and shields, possibly a mace or a bludgeon," Daytrader listed and showed off. "A few parts from battles in the quarries, believe it or not, and I think I have that part of the Ark you asked me to find."
"Which part?" Arcee asked.
"Hmm, not sure exactly what," Daytrader pulled out a round device with satellite wings on the sides. "But it matches the description of what you called Teletraan-1."
"Perfect," Bulkhead said. "That got separated from us in the crash."
"Good to have it back." Rodimus Prime said.
"Any chance I could meet Ravenicus Prime?" Daytrader asked with stars in his eyes. "Been an idol for me since her days on Cybertron."
"Due time," Rodimus Prime smiled as he saw some smaller robots, each in pairs of two. "New employees?"
"Found them just outside of Sector Seven," Daytrader said. "They don't look like it, but they date back to the days of the Ancients. Battlemasters and Micromasters, no doubt about it."
"Are they friendly?" Thunderhowl asked.
"Shy, but they're nice once you get to know them," Daytrader assured. "You can let them stay, I've been carrying them around for days now."
"Thanks." Jazz rolled his optics.
All of a sudden, the same limo that Optimus Prime drove past drove in. Everyone looked to it before it made its way to the front. Out from it came a woman with black hair and a white dress, accompanied by several dwarves. This was Snow White, Apple White's…
"Mom?" Apple asked surprised. "What's she doing here?"
Edmund Burton walked out with Giles and Cogman before approaching Snow White, who had a very stern look on her face.
"Your majesty, this is most unexpected." Edmund said.
"Save your words, Merlin," Snow White snapped. "Where is Milton?"
"My brother was deposed by the board for actions against the school," Giles said, surprising her. "Edmund Burton is the new headmaster."
"Human terms, not what it actually means for us from Cybertron." Cogman said.
"Ooh, it's her," Daytrader hovered his table. "Kids, let's move this to the back, away from the royalty."
"If Milton is no longer headmaster, then you are who I wish to speak with," Snow White ignored Daytrader's attempt to escape her. "And this Optimus Prime, Rodimus Prime, and Ravenicus Prime too. Your Knights as well, if possible."
"Optimus Prime is busy with another matter, but I am here," Rodimus Prime stepped over. "You will have to wait."
"Yeah, sounds good," Rowan pressed his Talisman. "Ratch, stop what you're doing with Raven and get her here. We have a situation that needs her… now!"
"Understood," Ratchet nodded back at the Autobot Base before looking to Raven. "You're needed."
"I'm on it," Raven released her robot from her Talisman and let it float into the air. She leapt up and turned into the head before transforming into her truck mode. "But… what about the rest of the results?" she asked, peering from the driver's seat.
"Later, they still need to be looked over," Ratchet opened up the Ground Bridge. "Go, join them," he said. "I will let you know of any further updates."
Raven nodded and drove on through as her helmet appeared over her head.
Elsewhere, Optimus Prime was still talking with Ultra Magnus at the canyon.
"Optimus, I wish it weren't always the dark times that would bring us together like this." Ultra Magnus sighed.
"It is times like these that make comrades like you worth having."
All of a sudden, Optimus Prime's comlink went off.
"Optimus, you are needed back at Ever After High," Ratchet said. "There is some sort of state of urgency."
"Understood," Optimus Prime said as a Ground Bridge opened up. "I must take my leave."
"If you need me, I will be there." Ultra Magnus saluted.
Optimus Prime saluted back and transformed, driving through the Ground Bridge portal.
At Ever After High, Snow White was being shown the AllSpark.
"Nothing's gonna get past this system." Wheelie said, confident.
"This cube is what the giants almost destroyed the school for?" Snow White crossed her arms.
"I can assure you, we have taken every precaution in covering its presence," Rowan reassured. "If the Decepticons try to take it again, they won't even get the chance to step in."
"I have heard of your escapades, Mr. Twain," Snow White turned to Rowan as Apple walked over. "While I respect you, the fact that many of the destinies have been derailed stem from your actions."
"Mom, it's not like that." Apple said.
"I was watching Blondie's MirrorCast, Apple Dumpling," Snow White said. "Why would a princess like you yearn to become a knight?"
"Because there are things bigger than our stories right now." Apple replied.
"You have sided with machines!" Snow White argued.
"They are living beings, just like us." Edmund said calmly.
"They are machines, who attacked us!" Snow White snapped.
Rowan and Apple looked to each other, worried. All of a sudden, their Talismans started to glow.
"She's here." Rowan said.
"I'll let her know what's going on." Apple ran outside the school.
Raven, as Ravenicus Prime in her truck mode, drove over. As she did, she noticed the limo.
"Hmm, not bad." Raven mused.
"Raven!"
Raven got out and looked to Apple, the two hugging immediately.
"I know this limo," Raven said. "Why's your mother here?"
"She's not too happy about what happened during Thronecoming," Apple cringed as Raven turned to the limo. "Hmm, before you meet with her… I think you could use something better than a truck."
"Thanks, Apple." Raven smiled before backflipping. Turning into her headmaster form, her truck mode transformed into her robot mode, turning her into Ravenicus Prime. Looking to the limo, she scanned it, gaining its stats and specs immediately.
"Scan Complete. Secondary Default Alt Mode Overridden."
Apple looked to Ravenicus Prime and smiled before Optimus Prime drove in. As he did, Snow White, Edmund and Giles walked out as the rest of the Autobots gathered together. They all watched as Optimus Prime transformed before Rodimus Prime walked to him. Ravenicus Prime stood where she was as Snow White stepped up.
"Optimus Prime, may I introduce to you the Queen of the Land, Snow White?" Edmund gestured to Snow White.
"I have heard much about you, Snow White," Optimus Prime said. "I am pleased to meet you."
"I appreciate the manners, but I am not in a good mood right now," Snow White said. "You and your Autobots have derailed the students of this school from their destinies. I even saw what happened on Legacy Day! Raven Queen is not supposed to be some hero in metal!"
"And yet, here I stand," Ravenicus Prime stepped forward. With a glow, she turned back into Raven Queen and let her body absorb back into her gauntlet. "I have stated it before, that freedom is the right of all sentient beings. Even humans and Cybertronians."
"You…" Snow White stammered in surprise. "You're this Ravenicus Prime?"
"A reincarnation of the original, reborn," Raven nodded. "I didn't know who I was before, but I do now."
"The Decepticons would have destroyed us if not for Raven embracing her true destiny," Melody said. "Because of her actions since Legacy Day, we've been safer."
"You are not meant to be a hero! Your destiny lies elsewhere, away from the path of a Knight and a Prime!" Snow White tried to argue.
"Her destiny is in her own hands," Rodimus Prime said. "Everyone has the freedom to choose their own paths."
"What good is this freedom if it costs us our stories?!" Snow White narrowed her eyes.
"The Storybook of Legends was fake. It always has been since the Fallen attacked," Rowan spoke up as Briar turned away. "Since no one signed it, we have the freedom to choose who we are."
"Rowan is right," Optimus Prime said. "As Raven Queen, and Ravenicus Prime, have stated, freedom is the right of all sentient beings. It is in no one's place to remove that freedom from them."
"Don't her started with me, Prime," Snow White snapped. "Your presence here has caused danger to us all. It took you the span of a week to even repair all the damage done from your battle with your enemies."
"And what would you have done if it were you in his place?" Rowan challenged. "Hand the AllSpark to the Decepticons?"
"If it came down to me and the students, yes," Snow White remarked, unaware that LaserBeak was watching. He flew to Flip Side, watching from the forest. "I have seen the AllSpark for myself. I know of what power you hold that endangers us all."
"We have chosen a path that benefits us all in the long run," Rowan said. "We do not surrender to bullies. We make a stand."
"You challenge my judgment?" Snow White asked.
"As King Arthur's son, he knows what he's talking about," Edmund said. "These are the choices of a leader."
"We have never deviated from our beliefs. This is not a time to start now," Optimus Prime said. "If you do not agree, it is your choice. We will not give in to anyone or anything that stands against us."
"You dare?!" Snow White yelled.
"You might be the fairest of them all, but Optimus Prime is the fairest to them all." Rowan said, striking a nerve with Snow White.
Snow White's fist clenched. "You've made a big mistake. Milton may not be headmaster, but at least I agreed with his ideals," she walked to her limo. "I can assure you, Autobots, Knights, that there will be consequences for the path you have chosen." She vowed before her dwarves drove off.
"I know I shouldn't say this, but I think that was well-deserved." Apple said.
"I'm a bit scared that she's against us after all we've done to save the school." Cerise said.
"We cannot change the mind of that woman," Thunderhowl said. "The best we can do is wait for her to accept that we will continue to protect you, no matter what."
At the Nemesis, Megatron was looking over all the files of the students based on what Flip Side told him. Starscream walked up to him as he pondered on the file of Cedar Wood.
"It seems I had underestimated these humans, my apprentice," Megatron said. "Aside from the Knights, there is certainly more to them than meets the eye."
"Yes, I have seen it for myself, Lord Megatron," Starscream said. "I have been talking with Shockwave, and we believe we know an expert who can take care of Ravenicus Prime, and perhaps even more."
"Hmm, that one?" Megatron pondered. "An interesting choice."
Flip Side walked in. "Forgive my intrusion, my masters," she apologized. "But LaserBeak and I have come across some useful information." She sucked and let LaserBeak fly to Soundwave, who displayed what was recorded earlier.
"I have seen the AllSpark for myself. I know of what power you hold that endangers us all."
"Who is this?" Megatron asked.
"The so-called fairest of the land, the queen, Snow White," Flip Side explained. "If she has seen the AllSpark, then I suggest we take her. We wouldn't want her knowledge to go to waste, now would we?"
Megatron grinned. "Send the Rain Makers and the Dreads to capture her," he ordered. "Succeed or fail, it matters little to me. All that matters is that we find a new way to take the AllSpark."
"Yes, Lord Megatron," Soundwave complied as he pressed the side of his head. "Rain Makers, Dreads, deploy."
On the road, Snow White was looking at the past MirrorCast broadcasts on her MirrorPad. As she was, several black police vans started to follow.
"Freedom away from the destinies are dangerous," Snow White grumbled. "And Raven Queen has the gall to stray away from her evil destiny. Reincarnated from some Ravenicus Prime? It will never work in the end."
All of a sudden, one of the police vans bumped into the limo. Snow White and the dwarves gasped before getting bumped by another van. They were suddenly hit from behind, causing them to veer out of control before several jets flew down.
"What's going on?!" Snow White demanded before the vans started to transform into the Dreads, minus Dreadbot and Berserker, The jets transformed too, taking on three identical-looking Decepticons that were green, blue and yellow. These were Acid Storm, Ion Storm and Nova Storm.
One more jet flew down, transforming into a muscular Decepticon colored white with light blue details. One arm was the nose cone as a lance of some sort while the left hand was mounted with the ramp as a shield. This was Jetblade.
"Pardon me, your Highness," Jetblade smirked. "But Lord Megatron demands an audience with you." He said causing Snow White to gasp in horror.
"By the AllSpark!" Ratchet gasped as he watched through the monitor back at the base. "Optimus, our Energon radar has picked up Decepticon activity. They have captured Snow White!"
"They have Mom?!" Apple gasped.
"We have to save her," Rowan said, surprising everyone. "She might not approve of what's going on, but if we leave her to the Decepticons, we'd be no better than them."
"Plus, we showed her the AllSpark," Maddie added. "If Megatron got that location from her, we'd be in for a hell of a mad time defending the school again."
"And one season was good enough for me to defend the school." Miko cringed.
"Ratchet, where did the sensors spot the Decepticon attack?" Rowan asked.
"The cameras spotted them along the road near the valley," Ratchet narrowed in on the monitor. "I'm picking up more coming. Skytread is leading them."
"Let's move!" Raven leapt into the air and attached to her Cybertronian body. Soon, Ravenicus Prime started to transform. With the truck mode overridden, she turned into a regal-looking limousine, the wings folded on the side. "Get in!"
"Way to ride!" Apple smiled as she and Marylyn climbed in.
"I had time to modify." Raven grinned.
"Roll out! I will be right behind you!" Optimus Prime called as he ran to his angular battle station.
"Rowan, come on!" Rodimus Prime transformed into his armored car form to let Rowan in.
"Let's move!" Bumblebee called as he, Arcee, Bulkhead, Smokescreen Jazz and Thunderhowl transformed as well.
All the Knights, plus Miko, Ashlynn, Maddie and Hunter, climbed in. Everyone rolled out while Optimus Prime stood in his battle station, starting form armor around him.
Back at the valley, Snow White was staring down Jetblade.
"If you think I will give into a machine like you, you are mistaken." Snow White said defiantly.
"You don't have much of a choice, old lady," Acid Storm aimed her rifle. "Unless you want to do this the hard way."
Hatchet snarled and aimed a new blaster at Snow White. Before he could fire, a blast sent him forward.
"We're under attack!" Nova Storm yelled.
Snow White looked to see Ravenicus Prime in her new limo mode, now with two turrets on her side. She fired again before skidding to open her door, letting out Apple and Marylyn.
"Take this!" Marylyn sent several lightning bolts at the Dreads before spinning her other staff around as Ion Storm fired at her.
Snow White watched in amazement as Apple leapt from the air and slashed the nozzle of Acid Storm's blaster before tossing the Golden Dawn at Crankcase. Blasting Jetblade with her Talisman hand, the sword was called back to her hand before using it to block an attack from the Seeker.
"Leave my mother alone!" Apple yelled as she slashed Jetblade away before more Decepticons started to arrive.
Ravenicus Prime transformed, arming herself with an Energon Katana and a Plasma Blaster. Firing at some of the Dreads, she twirled her sword around and leapt at the leading jet heading towards them.
The jet combined with a tank, both crimson in color, and transformed into a Decepticon with arm blasters and a long sword. This was Skytread.
Skytread looked up and slashed at Ravenicus Prime, blades locking. The Decepticons around him transformed and aimed as the two clashed blades back and forth.
"I've always wanted to test myself against you, Ravenicus." Skytread smirked.
"Good. I thought Megatron and Starscream were the only challenges." Ravenicus Prime sheathed her blaster and clashed with Skytread again.
Rodimus Prime arrived and transformed, shooting down several of the ground Decepticons. As he was, he tossed Rowan into the air, where he used Excalibur to send down energy slashes. The Rain Makers flew out of the way before he and Apple both pushed Jetblade back together.
"Snow White, it looks like you're quite popular among the Decepticon ranks." Rowan smirked.
The rest of the Autobots rolled in with their respective partners. Duchess got out of Mirage and started to dance around with Ashlynn, both firing at the Vehicons before hunter and Dexter fired at the rest.
Poppy leapt into the air and used her hair flails to knock down several of the Dreads. They easily got back up, however, and fired at her, but Cerise deflected their shots before Miko ran in and slashed several of them down.
Among the Decepticon Troops was a black-colored Decepticon transformed from a Mercedes-AMG GT R. Keeping his blaster aimed, he lowered it, starting to think as he watched Miko take out the rest of the troops with ease and grace.
"Are you gonna shoot, Deadlock?!" A Decepticon yelled before melody and Briar slashed him away.
"Give me a moment." The Decepticon, now identified as Deadlock, muttered.
Lizzie and Maddie slammed away at more Decepticons while Bulkhead, Bumblebee, Arcee, Jazz, Smokescreen and Mirage took cover to fire.
Ravenicus Prime pushed back Skytread and blasted him, disarming him of his sword. He grinned and aimed his blaster, shooting at her. She deflected the blasts before hearing jet engines roar. Everyone looked up to see Optimus Prime in his flight armor, firing down at the Decepticons. Plowing through, he fired at them before attacking with twin axes. Planting them in two Decepticons, he released his swords and started to slash at them, slamming Deadlock into the mountain offhandedly. As he neared Jetblade, he stabbed his sword into him before using his remaining one to charge at Skytread. Both he and Ravenicus Prime ran and slashed him down.
Skytread regained himself and formed a brass knuckle from his hand. Ravenicus Prime readied her cannons as Optimus Prime let a brass knuckle of his own appear on his own hand. Both Optimus Prime and Skytread charged and punched at each other. While Skytread managed to hit Optimus Prime in the face, Optimus Prime himself was able to punch straight through Skytread's abdomen. The Decepticon air warrior groaned and staggered before Ravenicus Prime shot him into the canyon.
Apple finished off another Decepticon just as Optimus Prime and Ravenicus Prime dealt their damage on Skytread. Everyone had stopped to watch the fight until the very moment it had ended.
"Don't move, Decepticon." Bumblebee aimed his sword at Deadlock with Rodimus Prime aiming his blaster as well.
"And don't move a muscle either." Miko warned as she aimed her swords.
"I do not intend to," Deadlock dropped his blaster. "I surrender."
"Good punch, Optimus," Skytread groaned. "Same for your shot, Ravenicus. You're truly as great as they say."
"I see the new flight tech is working well." Ravenicus Prime grinned.
"Leave now, and never attack again." Optimus Prime warned.
"I know when we've been defeated," Skytread walked to Jetblade and pulled the sword from his shoulder, allowing him to stand again. "Remaining forces, pull out!"
The remaining Decepticons complied. They all transformed and either drove or flew away.
"Ratch, we've got a prisoner," Poppy said through her Talisman. "You have any kind of dungeons?"
"Holding Cells are what we use." Smokescreen corrected.
"Okay, get a holding cell ready." Poppy said.
Miko and Melody walked to Deadlock's dropped blaster. Melody was about to bring her sword down onto it until Miko stopped her.
"What's wrong?" Melody asked.
"He gave himself up willingly," Miko looked to Deadlock as he was being guided away by Bulkhead and Jazz. "No need to dog the wound deeper."
Raven held her hand up and let her form of Ravenicus Prime enter her gauntlet. As soon as it was done, she, Rowan, Apple and Optimus Prime approached Snow White.
"Are you alright, Mom?" Apple asked.
"Yes, I am fine," Snow White replied. "I must say, you performed admirably against those Decepticons, all of you, Autobots and Knights."
"Just doing what we're sworn to do," Rowan said. "Till all are one. Whether you like it or not, we will fight, even if it's not in our destinies. Both humans and Autobots."
"You must see that the world is changing," Optimus Prime said. "It is bigger than any story now."
"I know, and you have my thanks for saving me," Snow White acknowledged. "And I am in your debt."
"Do you accept the changes to our world now?" Raven crossed her arms.
Snow White's expression turned serious. "Don't push your luck. I still have many reservations," she walked to her limo. "There will be a day when this backfired on you all. I'm just not delving into it." She sneered before getting in.
"Good enough for me," Raven looked to her hands, still thinking about earlier. "I might outlive you all anyways."
"What?" Apple asked, surprised and having overheard.
"I'll explain back at base." Raven promised.
Optimus Prime nodded and transformed into his trailer truck mode, the Autobots transforming as well. A Ground Bridge opened, and everyone went through, Raven entering as Ravenicus Prime in her limo mode.
At the Autobot Base, Arcee, Smokescreen and Jazz watched as Deadlock was being placed into his holding cell. Miko looked to him and walked up.
"You surrendered instead of fighting back," Miko said. "Why?"
"Because… I am done being a killer." Deadlock said.
Miko nodded as she and the Autobots walked away. As they did, Deadlock looked to Miko longingly.
"And… I wish to learn more… about your sense of honor."
In the main room, Raven was explaining to her friends what Ratchet told her and Rodimus Prime earlier.
"Techno-Organic?" Cerise asked.
"The result of a Cybertronian and a Human as a single being," Raven said. "It's what I became when I became Ravenicus Prime."
"Well, you've been doing some amazing things," Rowan shrugged. "I guess that this explains it."
"He also said that there were some… repercussions for taking this road too." Raven squirmed.
"Like what?" Apple asked.
Raven sighed. "Cybertronians live longer than humans. You should know, since the Autobots mentioned they've been at war for eons," she said. "I think… that I might end up outliving you all."
"But that means…" Briar realized.
"If you do take that nap… I'd be there, but I'd be the only one," Raven said. "I'd be the only one from Ever After High to live after you all die." She said, causing everyone to gasp.
"Raven?" Ratchet stepped up.
"I was just telling them the bad news." Raven frowned.
"But not the good news?"
Raven turned to the medic. "What do you mean?"
"I've been running more tests, and I've found something," Ratchet pulled up a screen on his monitor. "Typically, Cybertronians can live for eons, sometimes longer. However, as a Techno-Organic, I believe that you can be able to live… a normal lifespan."
"Wait… you mean…?" Rosabella caught on.
"I'm still running tests, but in theory, we should develop a way for you to remain with your friends and fulfill your role as Ravenicus Prime," Ratchet smiled. "You may still have a chance." He said getting Raven to smile and everyone to cheer.
At the Nemesis, all the Decepticons waited as the door opened up. From it came a large robot with blades above his arms, dual cannons on each forearm, cannons on the shoulders, and a face with golden eyes.
"Bloodhunt…" Megatron grinned. "Welcome."
