Ok this is the last Transformer and HTTYD chapter of the year, next I'll be doing Toy Story with cartoon characters you'll love. Also my new dog we got he acts like a puppy so I'm spending more time with him.
After this read the chapter and think about it.
In the cave Dr. Olivia Kullersen, was still in shock of seeing everything, first an alien robot she even takes a few steps back, now her son with a dragon, Tom says to his mother: "Mom? Hi." He tries to derail the situation, but she grabs her son, pulls him in and she questions: "What is that? What is it? Go on! Get away! Go!" She waves her arms demanding Thunder to leaves but, instead he raises his right leg and mimics her.
Mirage steps in and says: "Wow, wow, wow! Kullersen I think you might still be overreacting a bit?" He asks her, to which he says: "You stay out of this! And you are not off the hook either." The Autobot says to her: "Hey, come on. I thought we were buds. You were inside me." He spoke trying to point of she ride inside him in vehicle mode. Olivia replies to him: "Don't say it like that. That's weird."
Tom says to his mother and Mirage: "Ok yeah it is weird, but mom it's fine. Stop, please just calm down." To which she replies still trying to cope with everything that has happened and happening: "Calm down? Don't you see what that is and what he is?" She points to Thunder then Mirage, "it's a…It's a…" Thunder tilts his head in confusion. "Wow, it's an actual…that! What is that?" She is trying to find the right words but they fall short.
Mirage says to the two Kullersens: "Okay I know this is a lot to process. But take your time. Ease into it." He tries to calm her down. Then Tom says: "Yeah, ok Mom. This is Thunder, Thunder this is my mom." Thunder greats her with polite growling noises. "And you are?" He turns to Mirage and he answers to him: "Well I met your mom. The name's Mirage!" He offers a fist bump, Tom bumps him.
Olivia still beyond rationalization: "Thunder is…" Tom answers for her: "A dragon yes. Thunder is a dragon." He rubs his dragon's under jaw, then turns back to his mother, "And I guess you already know Mirage." Tom's mother says to him: "Wait you know him?" To which she still questions her son: "Wait you know Mirage?" Tom answers: "Well…sorta, we haven't met, until now. But he probably heard of me." Olivia still questions: "Know of you. And you named Thunder? He named you?" She questions all three.
The blonde haired boy answers his mother: "Of course. He's my best friend. Thunder I mean." He corrects himself of his connection to his dragon. "And I know that sounds weird. I was as shocked as you were when I first saw him. But come on! This is the find of the century. Maybe of all time. Come on mom, he's a real dragon." Olivia still confused even as Thunder moves closer to her, but she questions: "Wait, you said this is your first time meeting but how come he knows of you?" Mirage answers: "Well you see, I'm not the only one here on earth." Olivia asking a million questions: "Wait, you're saying there's more of you?" To which the Autobot answers the geologist: "More of me? Nah! None of them are like me, but more of my race called Cybertronians." Kullersen asks again: "More? How much? Like a a dozen?" Mirage answers: "More than a dozen, a whole army. You see we're refugees. It's a long complicated story." Tom adds to this: "Yeah. I can explain if you let me. But still this is pretty cool right?" He speaks to his mother of the significance of this.
Thunder looks at Olivia with his blue eyes, she admits it at first: "It is." She tries to pet him, even when her son with a smile encourages her, even Mirage says to her: "Go for it doc. You got the touch, in fact you got the power." He spoke with confidence in her, but then she changes her mind and says with authority: "No. No, Tom. I'm not letting you sweet talk your way out of this one." She wasn't letting it go. "But mom!" He tried to plead with her, "He's a dragon!"
Unknown to them, Jun and the other Dragon Riders along with the few Autobots and Maximals arrive and overhear the mother and son's argument. Jun whispers to the team: "Hold on. No body move." To which they do but Eugene despite being the oldest human aside from Fowler questions: "What? Why?" To which the younger female sibling answers still whispering: "Something's going on, up there." But the older male sibling pushes the team aside and says: "Out of my dorks, I'm zombed. I gotta go to bed." He tries to climb but Jun tries to stop him but fails.
When Eugene reaches the top he stops and sees, Dr. Kullersen with his eyes widen in shock, Tom sees Eugene and quickly changes to avoid them being seen: "…No, no, no you're right. I should've known, to stay away from here." He was giving hidden signals to Eugene at first Mirage was confused till he turns his head to Eugene and agreeably says playing along: "Yeah O, so Tom made a mistake, so what? People make mistakes all the time. If you saw the number of times I made any you'd be shock. Now if you excuse me, I gotta be somewhere." He transforms into vehicle mode and drives off.
Olivia turns back to her son with an upset look on her face and her arms crossed demonstrating her expression, she turns around for a second thinking he was looking at something but saw nothing then turns back to Tom and says to him: "That's right, you should have."
The elder Chinese sibling returns to the group and whispers: "It's Tom's mom." This shocked the group, D'Angelo asks him: "Is my dad there too? Oh he's gonna kill me." Raph speaks regarding the situation: "Oh man we're so busted. We're gonna be put in jail and that's if we're lucky." The youthful humans were now scared for their cover is about to be blown. The Transformers were just our worried, Rattrap says regarding this: "Oh no, we're so scrap."
Back with Tom and his mother who says to him: "You are going home." She grabs his wrists, "And you're going to your room and you're going to be punished for a very long time!" She was still mad and asserting her authority, but Tom stops and frees himself then asks her: "Mom, come on! Just promise me you won't tell anyone about him or Mirage. I need to keep them safe. Please." He begs her as does Thunder.
Dr. Kullersen replies still mad: "Ok." She rubs her eyelids then stops and raises her head. "I can't even think about that right now. I'm just so…Urr!" She grunts in frustration of her own son lying to her. "We're going home." Tom asks him mother: "Can I at least say goodbye?" Olivia exclaims: "No!" She grabs her son's arm and drags him out of the cave, even as Thunder small roars not wanting his friend to leave. "Mom, wait." He tries to plead with her but to no avail.
With the Dragon Riders and Transformers Jun shushes them and says: "I think they left." She climbs upwards, and sees Thunder alone, "It's safe." Nightscream questions: "Yeah, but for how long?" D'Angelo agrees: "Yeah, she's gonna tell our parents?" Alex adds to it: "And maybe Rakke crop." Smokescreen questions and points out: "Your parents and Rakke corp? That's what you're more concerned about? What about us, we'll be exposed to the rest of the world." Eugene questions them: "What wrong? What if you're exposed to the world, what could happen?" Bulkhead says to him: "What will happen? What won't happen?" He points out the risks.
Ratchet adds to the risk: "With us exposed to the rest of the world. Given your species aggressive actions throughout history. We've seen your species actions regarding things that are different." Jack questions: "But still why can't you expose yourself since you made human allies. People are smart." To which Optimus Primal replies differently: "A person's smart, people are dumb, violent and panicking animals and you know it. If we're expose who knows what will happen?" He points the flaws of humanity's capacity of uncontrollable violence.
Jun and the others look at Thunder who still sad seeing that Tom is no longer his rider.
Time passes, the Dragon club members make a visit to the Kullersen home. D'Angelo questions the group: "Are you sure this is cool?" To which Jun replies after knocking on the door: "He wants us to. He hasn't been allowed out of his room for a week." Miko speaks regarding this: "Yeah being grounded that long, he's gotta be board out of his mind." Then the door is quickly open by Olivia who looks at the youths with her arms crossed.
The teens and young boy tries to put on some happy face, D'Angelo breaks the silence: "Hello Dr. Kullersen." Raph adds to it: "Lovely weather isn't it?" But she can see through their smiles and says: "He's in his room. Still on probation." The African American teenager questions: "For how long?" To which she simply answers: "Probably forever." She offers the youths in, which they do enter, they nervously chuckles trying to avoid acting suspicious.
In Tom's room, he's tinkering with his drone. The door opens revealing the other youths, he says greeting them: "Hey, thanks for dropping by. My mom is still super upset." Jack speaks in understanding tone: "Yeah, we figured that out." Tom asks them: "So any news on Fowler?" To which Raph answers: "We told him you got caught in the act, and he also made but he'll be here soon." D'Angelo finishes: "Yeah, he can probably get you clearance. But, (whispering) does she suspect we have dragons too?" Then Eugene's head pops up from the window and he exclaims: "Yeah, spill it Kullersen! Did you sell us out or not?" Jun raises the window closing it. "Hey!" He exclaims to his sister.
Tom says to the youths: "No, no. She's just disappointed in me. She says she'll keep Thunder a secret until she can figure it out how do handle it. She even said the same thing about keeping the Autobots secret." Everyone sighs in relief. "So I'm doing my best to follow her rules. I wanted to show you something." He grabs the Book of Dragons, opens it up. "I've been putting my down time to good use." Jun adds as she and Tom walks to the others sitting on the bed and other chairs: "Tom, Raph and I found some runes on the internet." Tom stops her as he gives her the book: "Wait, wait, wait, on you and Raph actually found them. And Raph translated them." But Jun insists he should have the credit in a flirting tone: "Oh, no, no, no if it weren't for you misspelling the word 'Viking' I would never have found them." Tom admitting it: "Heh, that's true." They laughed, Jack whispers to the other teens: "Sounds like someone's giggling a little too much." They nod yes thinking they're more than mere friends.
The blonde haired boy continues: "Anyway the runes helped us put together a key to decode the Book of Dragons." The African American teenager questions: "You and Jun did this?" Alex teasingly asks: "Together?" Tom answers: "Yeah, but also Raph helped." He clears his throat but Raphael adds: "Well, to be honest I put together an algorithm that can decipher and translate the old language into the modern language." Alex speaks to him: "That's must've been fun." Raphael point out: "It was for a while. But old Nordic is a difficult language, it's one of those rare and extinct language, there's barely anyone able to read them. But I'm up for a challenge." He state the difficulties but he was up for it.
Tom speaks again: "There's so much to go through, we've made good progress. Check it out." The Chinese girl opens a page and says referring to it: "Remember these guys? This is Raph's dragon Charcoal, and according to the translation, they were called Gronckles." D'Angelo comments the title: "Gronckles. Not a bad name." Tom speaks as he takes the book and sits in between Alex and D'Angelo: "Yeah, and this says, Gronckle baby feed on puddles alone." Jun corrects him: "Tom? I think that says pebbles." Realizing she's right and says: "Oh! Yeah, that makes better sense." He erases and fixes his mistakes. "Once my mom lets me out again, we're gonna have tones of new info. There's so much to go through." Then a knock on his door, Tom hides the book and the door opens revealing it to be Dr. Kullersen.
Dr. Kullersen says to the kids: "Everything okay in here?" They all reply: "Fine." Even Eugene outside yelling: "All good misses K!" She stared out of suspicion and turns back to her son and her friends: "Wrap it up Tom." As she leaves, Miko jokes: "Looks like visiting hour is over."
As Tom escorts his friends out and says to them: "Thanks for stopping by. I'll keep on translating the book. Give me something to do at least." Jun says to him: "Let me know if you need help." Jack adds to the conversation: "Just keep your chin up. I'm sure your mom will understand." Tom replies to them: "Thanks Jack, and I will do. You guys sit tight. This'll all be over soon-ish."
Eugene walks up to the group and questions: "What? Don't tell us you still want us to keep that dumb promise." Jun hisses her brother: "Eugene!" To which the male older sibling says: "You guys said you were gonna tell him it wasn't fair." They were in an awkward response. Tom questioned them: "What?" Jun replied still feeling awkward: "Yeah…I guess we didn't get around to it." Is quiet for a moment but then says: "Look, putting a hold on exploring until I'm allowed out again. But my mom knowing about Thunder and stuff, is only fair."
The Latino girl mutters under her teeth: "Yeah, only for you." They were quiet for a moment then D'Angelo says to Tom: "We get it man. We'll stay busy, till your release." Jack adds to this: "Yeah, we'll also keep you informed till then." With that the group leaves except Eugene who threateningly says: "Just don't nark on us Kellersen! I know where you leave." Tom just sighs in annoyance as Eugene leaves only to come back. "Because…you live here." He leaves again and Tom just reenters the house and closes the door.
In the Ark the Autobots are clamoring of the news that the Autobots about to be expose to the rest of the world. Sentinel angrily yells: "MIRAGE YOU COMPLETE GLITCH! HOW COULD YOU LET A HUMAN INTO YOU AND EXPOSE YOURSELF!" To which the Autobot soldier answer: "In my defense she opened me and entered me." Sentinel still mad: "Well this doesn't change that the humans are going to find us!" Optimus puts his hand on Sentinel's right shoulder and says to him: "Sentinel, we knew this day would come." He understood the circumstances.
But the Autobot elite yells to his leader: "Yeah, because you let those younger smaller humans find those flying reptiles!" But Bumblebee speaks against him: "Hey when the fissure opened up, we knew it was a matter of time. I mean there geologist and other scientists." Arcee adds to this: "So we just need to prepare for ourselves." Sentinel still questions: "What if the cons take advantage of the situation?" Optimus Prime states to him: "Than we will prepare regardless." They all understand the circumstances but whether one or the other comes to fruition.
In the cave where the Dragon Club is along with their Autobot friends Bulkhead, Smokescreen and Wheeljack, are in the cave, D'Angelo says as he makes a somewhat grand entrance: "Ladies and gentle-dragons and Autobots. Welcome new and improved Dragon's lair. We got a tool wall over there." He points to a stalagmite with Tom's sword sheathed and Jun's shield leaned on it as well as few Autobot weapons. "A scratching post for all those hard to reach itchy places." He points to another stalagmite to which Wu and Wei began to scratch their heads till they meet and start fighting each other.
"And this is, is a special dragon feeding area to recharge after a long day of saving the hidden world, girl." D'Angelo said as he points to a feeding trout, this intrigued Plowhorn. "And over here, is my finest work yet. A first aid station for…" he turns to see his dragon eating and is not paying attention. "Plow! Are you even paying attention?" Jun jokingly says: "You had her at feeding area." They laughed a bit.
Eugene on the other hand was board, he slides off his dragon and says: "Uh! This is so lame! Can we please go somewhere, do something? Webmasters board." Jun says to him: "Enough Eugene!" Eugene speaks again: "I mean why am I even here? I didn't get caught in the lair." Miko says to him: "Wow dude! Not cool." D'Angelo walk up and says to him: "Tom took the heat for all of us." Smokescreen says in agreement: "Yeah man, show some respect." They turn to Thunder who looks sad and laying down. Jun walks up and says: "Uh, guys keep it down will ya? You're upsetting Thunder."
She walks up to Thunder and kneels down beside him, "Sorry big guy. You miss Tom, don't you." She pets his head, then a sensor goes off beeping, Alex and Raph picks up their laptop and tablet. Alex says regarding it: "Sensors are going off in the Ice Realm." Raph adds to it: "I don't think it's just a random dragon trip the alarm."
The elder Chinese sibling heavily sighs and says as he takes the tablet out of Alex's hands: "None of you wanna say it, so I will. Let's go!" But his sister says: "Eugene!" Them D'Angelo speak: "Yeah that wouldn't be cool. We promise to wait for Tom." But Alex speak of a possibility: "What if it's a dragon in trouble? We promise to wait for Tom, but we also promised to protect dragons." Jack agreeing with Alex who retook her tablet back from Eugene: "She's right. We have a responsibility, and if we don't do our job, regardless of one of us is being not here at the moment. But we still have an obligation." Eugene agreeing: "Yeah Gonzo and Barbi's right. Protecting dragons and stuff. Tom would want us to go." Jun disagrees: "Tom wouldn't want us to go. If he did, he wouldn't have promised not to." D'Angelo agrees with Jun: "Yeah, and he's our friend, who trust us." Raph says in agreement as well: "Jun and D's right. Besides if don't keep our word, we might as well be backstabbing him." They all raised good points.
But while they debated and argued, the sensors still beeps, Alex speaks of the beeping: "Guys, this might be something serious." Miko speaks up: "Yeah, like Jack said, we have an obligation to protect dragons." She points out, Jun begrudgingly agrees: "Okay, fine we'll go." Thunder and the three Autobots turn their heads. "But no exploring. Just swoop in, check the sensors and back home." D'Angelo speaks up: "No body breaths a words about this to Kullersen." To which many of them agree Miko says: "Basically just simple get in get out." Eugene on the other hand is excited and exclaims: "Sweet! The Kullersen ball and chain has been taken off!" He runs to his dragon, Bulkhead, Wheeljack and Smokescreen follows with the youths.
In the Kullersen dome home, Tom is still drawing in the Book of Dragons. Then he picks up his phone and speed dials: "Hey Jun! Sorry about the voice mail, just always getting back to me in group text. Is something wrong? Anyway I translated another page. Some cool stuff about the Sky Torcher. Call me back, ok?" He hangs up the phone and stairs out the window.
In the Ice Realm, Eugene is excited and exclaims: "Eugene and his dragon riders are back b-b-b-baby!" But D'Angelo trying to stay focused says to him: "Stay on task Eugene. Remember this is a quick in and out mission." Alex says as she reads her tablet: "We're coming up on the sensors." As Eugene kept horsing around, Jun turns to him and then turns to the sight of Buzzsaw and the Decepticons' base. It has a wooden cabin with a few trees cut down to make the home and surrounding it are military outposts, automatic turrets, laser tripwires and energy fences.
D'Angelo says regarding the base: "I guess Buzzsaw has expanded his operation." Jack adds seeing it: "And so have the Decepticons. They constructed a base will all necessary defenses." Jun sarcastically says: "Great, should've guessed." Alex comments it: "It looks like a Christmas card, but with dragons held against their will." She spoke seeing the very animals in ice cages, Miko adds: "Yeah, and a huge alien military base around it too." The Autobots reaches the site and transform into robot mode.
The Autobot elite asks the two wreckers: "You guys seeing this?" Bulkhead answers: "It's kinda hard to miss." Wheeljack finishes: "It appears Buzzsaw and Cons made themselves at home." He comments regarding the cabin and the Decepticon defenses.
Jun sighs and says: "We're gone for a little while and look what happens." Jack speaks: "Yeah, and since Tigertron's in the King's Realm so he hasn't been scouting or patrolling. This is what happens when we don't do our job." D'Angelo says to the others: "Let's do what we do team." The Dragon Riders flies into the camp, the Autobots enter by going around the energy fences.
As they enter the camp the humans dismount from their dragons and tries to free the Dragons, Jun comforts them: "Don't worry guys, we're here to help." Before they can do anything Plowhorn and Charcoal are being to act frighten. D'Angelo says to his dragon: "Wow, wow! What is it girl?" Raph says to his dragon too: "Charcoal is something wrong?" Jun asks feeling worried: "Is Plowhorn and Charcoal ok?" D'Angelo answers: "Something's got them upset." The two dragons walk backward as if they sense something's wrong.
They almost bump into Alex, Miko and Eugene. Alex tries to stop them, then Eugene yells: "Look out!" Then climbing up the cages are three flamethrower dragons with electric collars around the necks with a metal chain tied to it
The African American teenager yells: "Defensive circles!" To which they and the Autobots get into defensive stance, Eugene, Alex and Miko runs to their dragons but Eugene drips and falls. One the flamethrowers pounces at the older Chinese sibling who screams he's too young and pretty to die but it stops for the chain stops him in mid air.
He stops to see the two of them are standing in place while one walks around. Eugene questions this: "Are these things, domesticated?" Jun and the others walks up and she says: "They're all tethered to the ground." Jack speaks of this: "It's like someone tried to turn them into guards dogs."
Then Buzzsaw's voice says: "Oh look, the Dragon-middle-schoolers." He emerges behind a snowy hill, speaking sarcastically, he's no longer wearing a wool cap but let his hair out and has grown a five o'clock shadow, them he leans on the hill, "It's been a minute." Then more Decepticon drones emerges surrounding the Dragon Riders and three Autobots. "I see you've met my fire-spitters." He said as he walks to them. D'Angelo corrects him: "Actually they're called flamethrowers."
A Decepticon named Steve says regarding the title: "Flamethrowers, uh? I gotta say that name sounds better than flames spitters." Another Con-drone nods in agreement. But Buzzsaw questions the name: "Uh, flamethrowers? That's an idiotic name." He said as he walks to one of them and pets it on the back only to have it screech back at him. "They spit fire out of their mouths. Hence Fire-spitters. They don't throw flames with their paws." But D'Angelo corrects him: "They don't have paws, they have claws!" He said loudly correcting Buzzsaw. The same con Steve speaks: "Sir with all due respect since these humans found them first. I think it's only fair that would keep original name they given them." But Buzzsaw exclaims: "This is not a democracy! We called them Fire-Spitters and that's that!" This frighten the said Con a bit.
Then Eugene blows his dragon horn he made earlier to command his dragon, to which his eyes open and rises, Eugene sarcastically says: "Oh great! He carved another whistle." Miko says speaking her mind: "Seriously did this guy took carpentry class or something?" The other dragons were intimidated by the size of the said dragon minus Winger. Buzzsaw threatens: "One more word out of you and I'll have old Jack here turn you brats into broths." Then Lugnut appears and says aiming his weapon at Smokescreen: "And don't bother calling for reinforcements!" Blitzwing speaks as well in calm face: "Indeed, one word from you and we." He changes to angry face. "AND WE'LL TURN YOU INTO A BOX OF SPARE PARTS, AUTOBOT SCUM!"
Unknown to the Cons, the Dragon Riders and Autobots, Thunder and Ratchet followed them, they hide behind some trees, Ratchet whispers to Thunder: "Thunder, go to the surface and get Tom, I'll try to call for reinforcements." The Night Light nods and runs off. "Ratchet to Optimus Prime, the humans are captured, by the Decepticons and the human calling himself Buzzsaw. Send reinforcements."
At the Ark, Optimus Prime receives the message and replies: "Don't worry, we'll send aid. Arcee, Bumblebee and I will be there. Until then fall back and wait for further orders." He turns to the two Autobots require for this mission, and says to them, "The Dragon Riders along with Ratchet, Bulkhead, Smokescreen and Wheeljack are in the Ice Realm. We're going in to rescue them." Bumblebee questions: "But what about Tom?" Arcee adds to the conversation: "Yeah, even if Thunder gets to him, there's no way he'll explain things." The Last Prime says to them: "Don't worry I'll send someone there." He presses his comlink, "Wheelie are you there?"
At Rakke town, the said Minicon, who is in toy monster truck mode answers: "Yeah, boss what's up?" On the other end, Optimus replies: "I need you to go Tomas Kullersen's house and get him to come to the Ice Realm." To which the Minicon questions: "I don't know Optimus. I mean isn't he still grounded?" The leader answers to him: "Yes, but we still need him. Just find a way to get him to come to the Ice Realm." Wheelie finishes: "Okay, but that's gonna be a tall order but I'll try." He rolls off without drawing any attention.
Back at the Ark Optimus says to his team: "Alright then, Autobots transform and rollout!" The three Autobots transforms into vehicle mode and drives off.
In the fissure Thunder flies through and then flies upwards creates an EMP knocking out all electricity, allowing him to swoop down and hide in the shadows.
As for Wheelie this made his job a lot easier, to sneak around.
In the Kullersen's home, Olivia tries to turn on the lights but to no avail, which annoys her, then she receives a phone call. She pulls off her backpack, pulls out her phone says through it: "Hello? Yeah my power's out too. It's like a complete blackout." She spoke as Tom exits his room and Olivia is about to leave, "Don't worry, I'll head over." She puts back on her backpack and turns to Tom, "I gotta head down to the lab." She leaves, Tom sits down on the couch softly sighing. Then the door rattles, at first he thought it was nothing.
He hears the rattling he walks to it and opens it up only to be pounced by Thunder tackling him down. Tom laughs and says: "Pal! I was hoping that blackout was you." Then another voice says: "Hey, I'm guessing this is the Kullersen's residence." Tom looks at him and asks: "Hu, who are you?" To which he answers as he transforms into robot mode: "The name's Wheelie, Optimus send me." Tom says to him and Thunder who tugs at his arm: "I'm sorry, but I'm still being punished." To which Wheelie says to him: "I knew it. That's what I thought. But this is an emergency." To which the boy answers: "An emergency? Well regardless if my mom sees either of you…mom!" He sees his mother entering and laughing to herself saying: "Forgot my ID card." Behind her is Tom with his arms in front of Thunder and Wheelie behind him.
Olivia turns around and sees the dragon she gasp in fear and falls down while screaming: "Ah! Dragon!" Then she picks up a broom and chases him across the room, to which Thunder dries to avoid, then she turns down and sees Wheelie and screams. The Minicon says to her: "Hey, name's Wheelie." To which Olivia exclaims: "What is he? Another one of those alien robots?!" Tom answers: "Uh, yeah. They just helped themselves." To which Olivia puts down the broom, grabs him and drags him to the kitchen pins him to the fridge and pulls out a kitchen knife to which he says: "Wow, wow, wow! That's seems a little extreme there."
Olivia exclaims and questions: "What are you doing in my house?!" Then she uses the knife and stabs it into his right eye and he yells: "Ah! That's my eye! Ya crazy broad!" He yells in pain and anger as his removed eye is dangling by the circuitry. Tom stops her and says: "Mom, stop they're friends." Olivia calms down a bit but speaks in a demanding tone: "Get them out of here, now!" Tom turns to Thunder and Wheelie and says to them: "Guys, I'm sorry but you two gotta go." To which Thunder refuses to leave, as for Wheelie he says as he reinserts his eye back into his socket: "No can do, the boss says he needs you ASAP." But Dr. Kullersen says to him: "Well, tell your 'boss' he's going be disappointed. Tom, get them out." To which Tom obeys, and tries to get Thunder out but he refuses to leave, and he says to his dragon: "You have to leave. Come on!" He struggles to get his dragon to move but he won't budge. "He's not usually this stubborn."
Wheelie says to him: "Maybe you should take the time to hear him out and me too." To which Tom says to them: "Something's must be wrong in the Hidden World. What happened? Did something happened to the other riders?" To which Wheelie says to him: "Oh yeah, big time. They got captured by the freakin' Decepticons and now along with Bulkhead, Smokescreen and Wheeljack are taken prisoner."
Olivia began to question: "Hidden World? Other riders? Captured by Decepticons? What other riders? And who or what are the Decepticons? What else have you not told me Tom?" She was now demanding the full truth. Tom realizes the circumstances and answers: "Okay, I didn't tell you everything. Truth is, Thunder isn't the only dragon. And I'm not the only kid who has one. All my friends do to. And as for the Autobots, they're more than simply refugees. They are caught in an intergalactic war that dates back billions of years. There war expanded all over their planet until they were forced to evacuate rendering the planet into a barren wasteland from what they tell. The Decepticons are their natural foes, and apparently they seek peace in order through tyranny by the Autobots seek freedom and justice. Basically, they're a army trying to fight the age old enemy." He explains which was a lot for her to process, she falls down on the couch and says: "Tom."
Tom gets up and says to her: "I know, I know, I know it's a lot. But if Thunder came up here and they send Wheelie, then they must be in trouble down there. And if they are, than Thunder and I are the only ones who can help them now." He said to his mom who puts her hand on her eyes trying to coup with this. "So I am begging you, pleading with you to let me go. Let me find them and let me help them." To which Wheelie says to her: "Yeah big mama, your boy's friends are in trouble. So let him go, do his job and you can resume his punishment."
To which Olivia says to him: "You expect me to just, let you go with a dragon to rescue your friends who also have their own dragon?" She questions the very sanity behind it. Tom nervously chuckles a bit and says: "I mean, when you put it that way, it sounds like a bad parenting decision. But yeah." The Minicon speaks: "Looks like this is hard for you, but we need all the help we can get."
Olivia turns to Thunder then back to Tom and says to him: "No way." Tom still tries to plead with her, but she won't budge. "I said no. No rescue mission, no dragons in this dome. Thunder out!" She said to the dragon like a trained dog, then she turns to Wheelie. "That goes for you too Wheelie." To which he replies: "Wow warrior mother goddess, I'm just the messenger and you don't shoot the messenger nor stab him in the eye!" He yells in the end since he's not over that wound. And Thunder simply sits in place refusing to listen. "You heard the dragon. Neither of us are leaving without Tom." To which she turns to him and he simply transforms into toy truck mode and reveres into the kitchen.
Back in the Ice Realm, as the flamethrowers or now called flame spitters, who are now trained if not over qualified guard dogs, one of which is being walked by a Decepticon drone by a electrical energy leash. As for Alex, D'Angelo, Eugene, Jack, Jun Miko and Raph who are in one of the ice cages, while Bulkhead, Smokescreen and Wheeljack are in an energy cub prison.
Buzzsaw is trying to put a muzzle on Feathers, and says to her: "Thanks you for your cooperation bird wing." D'Angelo yelling corrects him: "That is a feather…hu, never mind." He gives up trying to correct the mentally unstable former lumberjack, Jun then speaks up: "You have to let us out…" but one of the flame spitters roars at her cutting her off in mid sentence. To which Buzzsaw questions: "Do I? Because my flame spitters seems to disagree. A little touchy, but they'll learn to love like Ol' Jack here. But I cannot speak on behalf of the Decepticons. Bliztwing, Lugnut what do you think?"
To which the triple face Decepticon answers with crazy face: "I sAY, wE uSe THem fOR, TaRGet PrAcTIce!" To which the large Decepticon disagrees: "We shouldn't be wasting time! We should sentence both these human pests and Autobot scum to death!" He exclaims his own opinion.
But D'Angelo tries to warn him: "You don't understand, these dragon don't work alone. Where they are the sky torcher Isn't far behind." He says to Buzzsaw who replies to him: "Sky torcher? Ha, another dumb name." Steven says to expresses his opinion again: "Actually sir, Sky Torcher does sound pretty intimidating." He still ignores the opinions of a drone.
Eugene still tries to warn him: "Look you loon, these guys know what they're talking about. They like understand dragons." Alex adds to this warning: "And we fought the Sky Torcher." Miko finishes: "Believe me, it's a dragon with a mean straight a mile wide and long. If anything it's the most dangerous thing down here we've face." But Buzzsaw takes that as a bruise to his ego and exclaims: "Please, you're talking to the dragons and king and an elite alien robot fighters! We're the most dangerous thing down here! We frighten them!" He yells as he walks to the ice cage grabs the ice bars and points to the dragons.
Lugnut walks up and says to both humans and Autobots: "As far as we're concern it's just another beast to be conquered!" But Smokescreen speaks disagreeably: "Not this time. You have to understand we've been down here for so long we seen dragon species come and go, we know what they're capable of." But neither Buzzsaw or Lugnut or any of the Decepticons listen to reason.
Back at Rakke town, in the Kullersen home, neither mother or son are looking at each other in the face while Thunder is literally in the middle of the living room, Wheelie's still in the drawer. Thunder tries to give the puppy dog eyes, but Olivia says refusing to budge: "He can sit there and sulk all night. I'm not changing my mind." Thunder lowers his head in sadness.
In the drawer, Wheelie contacts Optimus and says to him through the comlink: "Hey OP, we got a problem, Tommy boy spilled his guts referring to the Hidden World and the other riders, and he pleaded with his mother to let him go for the rescue mission but she says no and is refusing to budge an inch." Optimus replies to him: "Just try to convince however you can. We're approaching the Ice Realm."
In the road leading to the Ice Realm as Optimus, Bee and Arcee are in vehicle mode, Arcee says to her leader: "Let me guess, Tom's not coming." The Last Prime replies: "Unfortunately. But we must rescue our comrades regardless." They still drive off heading to aid their friends.
Returning to the Kullersen home, Thunder tries to get Tom to at least talk to his mom but he replies to his dragon: "Why would I talk to her? She'll never trust me anyway." To which she heard and bluntly says: "How could I trust someone who lies?" He bluntly and loudly replies: "I was lying to protect Thunder, and the Autobots." To which she questions: "From who?" She thinks for a moment, then realizes from her son was doing. "Me? You don't trust me?"
Tom bluntly explains: "You work for a giant corporate science lab. Who knows what they would do if they found out? And well the Autobots are allied with the U.S. Government and are trying to keep them hidden. And Agent Fowler would have to keep your mouth shut." This shocked Olivia still, Thunder tries to give her the pleading look. "Wouldn't you lie to protect me?" Wheelie emerges from behind the kitchen letting Olivia see him too and she answers: "I would. But it's not the same." Tom disagreeably says: "To me it is." Wheelie says as he steps out: "Yeah, while you Ms. Kullersen sees it as comparing apples to oranges. But Tom doesn't see it any different.
Thunder laying his head on Olivia's lap which startles her a bit raising her arms, he still gives the look. She finally submits and pets him, the she does it softly as her purrs like a cat. "And sending Thunder away only proves I was right to hide him in the first place. I mean how am I supposed to earn your trust if you don't give me a chance to earn it?" He said as he stands up from the chair and walks to his mother explaining himself. To which the Minicon speaks up: "You know he makes a valid point. If anything it sounds like an oxymoron." Tom speaks now in agreement: "You see? Even Wheelie agrees with me." Olivia heavily sighs and says to her son: "Tom, I know your heart is in the right place. It's just…what if you get hurt?" She is worried for her child's safety.
Tom kneels down and answers with another question: "And what if you don't let me go? What about D'Angelo and June and Alex? What about Jack, and Miko and Raph?" Then Thunder with Wheelie on his head comes in between the two encouraging even the last member, "And Eugene? They need me. They need us." Then Wheelie says to Olivia: "Yeah, warrior mother goddess. Let your son do his job." The mother thinks carefully about this she is conflicted in so many ways, but she puts her hands on her son's cheeks and says: "I can't believe I'm about to say this. But…" A moment of hesitation then Tom is flying off on Thunder. Olivia watches from the door and with a concern look on her face, with Wheelie beside her and he says to her: "Don't worry mama. Your kid's tougher than he looks." Olivia replies back: "I know. I know." The minicon finishes: "Well, my work here is done." He transforms into toy monster truck and drives off.
In the Ice Realm with the three Flamethrowers with their guards still making their patrols, Tom, Thunder Optimus, Arcee, and Bee have arrived and rendezvous with Ratchet. Arcee says to Tom: "Hey, glad to see you've joined us." Tom replies to her: "It took some time to convince my mom, but she be grunting, and reluctantly agreed to it." Bumblebee says to him: "Well it's great to have you here regardless." Optimus Prime says to Ratchet: "Ratchet, what our status?" The medical officer answers: "The Decepticons along with their human ally has constructed a base of operations and captured many dragons. They even have our dragon riders and fellow Autobots held prisoners. They've even trained dragons to like guard/attack dogs." Tom comes up with a plan: "We should attack in when they're not in the spot of patrolling the perimeter." Optimus Prime says to him: "That's a clever idea."
During the change in shifts, Thunder comes in as does the others, the youth were excited. Jun exclaims: "Thunder!" Eugene also exclaims: "It's about time!" D'Angelo joyfully expresses: "Better late than never." Miko finishes: "The Calvary is here!"
Tom dismounts off his dragon and walks to his friends, Jun questions: "Tom? How did you…?" To which he answers the questions feeling some guilt: "My mom let me out. (Heavily sigh) I just told her everything." They were shocked Jun shocking questions: "You what?" Raph speaks up: "Seriously Tom?!" But he says to them: "This isn't the time to have this conversation." Optimus holding his gun says: "Tomas is right. We need to move as quickly as possible." Ratchet manages to unlock the energy cub containing Bulkhead, Wheeljack and Smokescreen freeing them.
Tom still questions his friends, "What were you guys even doing out here?" To which the female Chinese sibling answers: "We were responding to a sensor." D'Angelo adds: "Our mission is to help dragons." Jack whispers too: "It was suppose to be a quick in and out. But it turned into…this!" Eugene steps in finishing why: "And we were really board." To which Tom felt some guilty for in his defense he had to tell the truth, but he had no choice up to this point and so he unlocks the cage freeing his friends.
But then Ol' Jack roars and the Decepticons with Blizwing and Lugnut appears with them aiming their weapons, Buzzsaw says to the youths: "Why don't you get in the cage with the other kindergartners, fearless leader?" He said condescending in the end of his sentence. Tom and Optimus just stares at the mentally unstable man, to which Tom answers: "No way." He said refusing the listen. Then Optimus says to and the Decepticons: "We will never submit to you Buzzsaw."
The former Lumberjack boss says: "I'm afraid you don't know who you're messing with. You see while your team goes on missions behind your back. My dragons do what I say and thanks to these Decepticon drones who also take orders from me. When I say jump, they'll say 'What dragon?' Complete and blind loyalty. Or else, watch." He holds the whistle in hand, which he blows the horn making Ol' Jack almost snap on Tom, Thunder is in the air ready to fight in but cannot attack. "You! Lighting stuff, get down here!" He said demanding to which he does landing next to Tom. "(Laughing) You see? That's called 'being a leader'." He quotes himself, "Now, stop wasting my time and get in the cage." He demands the youths and Autobots.
Blitzwing says with clam face: "You know Buzzsaw we can use this do our advantage. Since we have Optimus Prime we can force the Autobots to surrender." Buzzsaw rubs his chin says finding it intriguing: "Yeah, a hostage situation. We can summit these Autobits into surrounding." But Lugnut disagrees says: "No! We should kill Optimus, with the last of the Primes extinguished, the Autobots will be without any leadership. We would present his head to Galvatron and then to the Autobots! Without their leader they'll be easy pickings!" But Blitzwing with angry face says: "YOU FOOL! ALL WE'LL DO IS TURN THEIR LEATER INTO A MARTYR!" Buzzsaw agreeing with Blitzwing: "I'm gonna have to go with triple face here, big guy. I mean, turning a leader into a martyr, sounds like it be more trouble than it's worth." While Blitzwing feels appropriate he doesn't like the nick name and says to him still in angry face: "THE NAME IS BLITZWING LITTLE MAN! AND IT'LL BE THE LAST THING YOU REMEMBER, AFTER I…" he turns to crazy face. "AFteR I sINg YOu a SonG chA cHa Cha!" Alex whispers to Arcee: "This three face guy's a screw loose." Arcee sarcastically says: "Really? I hadn't notice." Then a loud roar is heard, D'Angelo says recognizing it: "He's here." Buzzsaw no frightened: "Who's here?"
The Flamethrowers were all screeching for their true master, then coming from the sky it's the white devil dragon himself the Sky Torcher, Buzzsaw turns and questions: "W-What is that thing?" He asked in fear, to which Tom walks up and answers: "It's a Sky Torcher." He lands on a protruding hill ice and roars, Smokescreen says seeing it: "Well, speak of the spawn of Unicron himself." Tom speak again: "He will kill us, our dragons and everything else in this entire realm." But the former lumberjack boss isn't believing him: "Yeah right." He walks away to his dragon and the Decepticons aims their weapons at the beast.
"I know you. You think all dragons are good." Buzzsaw says to Tom as he holds onto Ol' Jack, but Tom speaks in disagreement: "Not this one." Ratchet speaks in agreement: "Indeed. This dragon is one of the apex predators of the Hidden World." Jack adds to it: "He is a ruthless and relentless hunter." Tom finished: "And the only way to stop him, is if we work together." He acts like a true leader rallying everyone. Blitzwing in crazy face says: "Ha hA HA WoRk TOgeTheR wiTh AUtObOTs?! THat SoUndS CrAZy, EVeN To mE!" Optimus Prime understands says: "I know we wouldn't work together given our history. But when comes to survival. The enemy of my enemy is my friend." Tom standing on a small hill of snow says still rallying: "We might not see eye to eye on dragons or ideals. But we all wanna get out of here alive. So work with us, and together we can drive off the Sky Torcher." He's voice was sounding of wisdom beyond his years, and his soul of generations of Viking chieftain coursing through his veins. Optimus and the others Autobots recognizes this spirit, he was truly descendent from a friend of their past.
"What do you say?" He turns around to which Eugene says to him: "Uh, Tommy?" He points to the human and his Decepticon allies who chose to run for their lives Buzzsaw screaming as he rode on his dragon and the Decepticons were in vehicle mode leaving. Tom says as he and the others saw Buzzsaw and his associates flee: "What a jerk." Bumblebee speak: "Although in hindsight, we should saw that scene coming." Eugene then speaks his mind: "Uh, Buzzsaw the Cons not wrong. We should all be running." D'Angelo walks up and says: "Tom, last time it took all of us, the Fault ripper, the Predacons, some of the Autobots and an army of Crystal Realm dragons to chase this thing off." Bulkhead speak as well: "Yeah, I'm tough but that thing would whip the floor with me." Jack speak up too: "Yeah I mean it's not like we can rally any more dragons or call for reinforcements."
Then Tom pulls out the Book of dragon and says: "We didn't have this?" To which Alex questions: "You gonna read it to death?" She sarcastically said but Tom has a different idea in mind. Tom speaks up: "I think, I think have a way to beat him."
As the Dragon Riders road in the sky, the Autobots were in robot mode on the ice lake which was able to support their weight. As the Dragon Riders flew closer, Tom orders his team: "Hold steady, steady." Miko speaks her mind: "Ok, I'm just gonna say it, this is a crazy idea." Raph questions: "Crazy? This is suicide!" Jun speaks up: "Under normal circumstances you'd be right. But desperate times calls for desperate measures." The large white dragon breaths fire at them, but luckily he wasn't aiming. Tom says to his dragon: "Alright pal, let him have it!" To which Thunder breaths lighting on the Sky Torcher. D'Angelo says: "That's got his attention!" Then the beast takes off chasing them, "He's coming!" Jack says regarding this: "Yeah, and he looks mad." They turn around and let the Sky Torcher chase after them.
As the white beast pursues them, and breaths fire but misses. On the ground, Bulkhead wanted to transform his arm into a cannon but Optimus stops him: "No, Bulkhead, we stick to the plan." Arcee speaks as well: "Don't get an itchy trigger finger." Bulkhead reluctantly agrees and lowers his arm.
In the air Tom gives the order: "Get to the lake!" They swoop down landing beside their Autobot allies. Eugene says to everyone: "Here he comes! Let's just get this over with." Tom says to him: "Keep it together Eugene."
As the Sky Torcher lands and he roars at them. Tom yells: "Let him have it!" Then they unleash a barrage of both dragon and Autobot combining their fire power hitting the beast.
After they stop firing this made the Sky Torcher angry read to breathes fire, D'Angelo yells: "Here it comes!" Optimus says to everybody: "Hold the line." They all nervously wait, the when it releases, Tom yells: "Now!" They jump out of the way, and Wheeljack presses a detonator causing a explosion of bombs on the ice, combined with the Sky Torcher's fire, cracks the ice, then it causes it to break underneath the white dragon's feet, causing it to fall into the water.
As the Dragon Riders hover in their air, Jun exclaims: "It worked!" But Tom sees the plan didn't go as he hopped and says: "Uh, maybe not." The Sky Torched breaths fire out of control, Alex loudly says to Tom: "I thought you said the cold water would squash its fire!" Tom replies: "That's what the book said! Invasive maneuver!" The two teams scatter as the white dragon breaths fire wildly till it rises from the water and on the ice surface. The Dragon Riders lands in front of the Sky Torcher, Eugene says: "We're so dead."
Then as it readies to fire again everyone braces themselves but it only coughs out smoke, which stunned the group, it tries to breathe fire again but only more smoke came out. Tom exclaims: "It worked! The book was right!" D'Angelo speaks of why it can't breathe fire: "The ice bath temporarily disarmed it." Jun questions: "But if the Sky Torcher hates, why come to the Ice Realm?" They didn't know but they turn to see the flamethrowers who were left behind.
Tom says regarding the flamethrowers: "Wait, what have the flamethrowers tried to blast us?" The White Dragon kept roaring then, he begins to realize,"They're not trying to get at us. They're trying to get to him." He realizes again why the Sky Torcher came all this way, he dismounts and rushes to the Flamethrower dragon, "Help me free them!" Alex questions: "Free them? Are you nuts?" Tom does answer but Jack sees it too, so he dismounts off of Winger and helps Tom free the captive dragons.
Tom explains the reasons: "The Flamethrowers were scouting out territory this time. Buzzsaw captured them and lure them here. The Sky Torcher just wants them back." As they try to untie and remove the electronic collars off the dragons, D'Angelo says regarding this: "He just came to rescue his army." Jun teases: "Kinda like you Tom." He smiles at the jester of compassion.
After they were freed they return to their master, Tom says seeing this sight: "They're a team too." Ratchet speaks of a theory: "It would seem that the flamethrowers, and the Sky Torcher share a symbiotic relationship. Staying that one cannot survive without the other regardless or the size of firepower." Optimus Prime speaks: "The Sky Torcher is loyal to them as they're loyal to him." With the four dragons reunited the fly down the large hole in the ground. This confused the team, they walked to the hole and saw it lead to another uncharted ecosystem.
They saw a tropical jungle, Jun says: "It's another realm." Tom speaks of what he sees: "It looks like a rainforest." Jun speak again: "It's hod down there." Optimus Prime speaks too: "A new ecosystem full of life. Just waiting to be explored." Eugene jokes: "Yeah, and it just got a little hotter with that monster."
Tom still feeling guilty says to his team: "Guys, I'm sorry I made you promise not to come down here. It was selfish of me." Eugene wraps his arm around Tom shoulders and says: "Yes it was." Then Alex says: "But we get it. I'm an interpret and I can get fomo pretty bad." Miko speaks up as well: "And I get it to. I don't wanna miss out on anything." Jun adds: "And it's not like you haven't taken a midnight flight or two without us." As Eugene removes his arm, Tom speak up: "I don't know when I'll be allowed back here. So you should keep protecting the Hidden World. But if you wouldn't mind." Jun reassures him: "Don't worry, we'll hold off exploring till you get back." Miko says: "I'm not holding up to that." Bulkhead exclaims: "Miko!" She says to him: "Oh come on! Why should Tom hog all the glory?" They laughed a bit, Tom pets Thunder and says to everyone: "Thanks you."
In the Kullersen home, Olivia waits patiently for her son's return, and just then Tom opens the door and enters the house. Olivia gets up and says to her son: "There you are!" She hugs him, and breaks it, "Is everybody okay?" He nods yes. They sit down on the couch and Tom says to her: "Thanks for letting me go mom." She asks him: "Was it dangerous? Were you hurt?" To which the blonde haired boy answers: "No, no. They just got stuck, helping a dragon." He obviously lied to his mother again. "Let's just say it was that I showed up." She is relieved by this new. "Thanks for trusting me. And how you must've felt. To have someone you care about break your promise." She was silent for a moment then breaks the silence by saying: "From now on, I'm gonna need you to tell me everything." To which Tom nervously smiles questions: "Everything?" Olivia verifies what she means: "Everything." The two embrace hugging again, and Tom feels worried he needs to tell her the whole truth but he doesn't know if he can.
Out in the woods, the two former Lumberjacks are at the spot where their former boss was supposedly went missing and later thought dead. One of the lumberjacks says mourning him: "To our boss. He was rich, and unstable. But working for him was stable." He sighs heavily shedding tears. "Ah, I'm gonna miss that. And he had great taste in flannel." Their moment of sadness was changed into laughter just as they were about to leave, then Buzzsaw's hands grabs their ankles and says: "Hold it right there roughnecks!" The two men saw their former boss rising from the hole as if he risen from the grave. "I got a new job opportunity for you. And it's going to require we relocate." He drags them into the hole, while they struggled to break free.
When they reach the hole, they see Lugnut, Blitzwing and three Vehicon drones. The men were scared out of their minds, "Oh these are our new business partners called Decepticons." He begins to laugh crazily as does Blitzwing and the three drones except Lugnut. This was the beginning of something terrible and complicated.
So here is the last chapter of this year of 2024. So next year in 2025 will happen so until then wait and enjoy the chapter. And if you like this here's an idea Imagine a crossbreed between Dragons and Cybertronian DNA and CNA creating a new life form not exactly like the technorganic Maximals or Predacons both Beast Wars and Prime.
But still here's the name "Draconians". So tell me your ideas for it and let's see what I can come up with.
