Story Start
Jasper Suburbs-Nevada-Late afternoon-(after the events of Darkness Rising)
In the town of Jasper Navada, Jack Darby was cloud watching in the backyard of his home. Jack is eighteen years old, with black hair and overall plain. He wears a grey long sleeved shirt under a dark grey shirt, jeans and sneakers. With his arms behind his head and his legs crossed, just staring at the clouds in the sky, without a care in the world. Until he heard his mother come out the back door. June Darby is a woman in her late thirties wearing, a aqua nurse uniform, with a brown coat over the top and a brown handbag.
"Jack, I'm off to work now," June told her son and said, "Also there is a package on the counter for you. It came in the mail for you this morning."
"Have a good day at work," Jack called back.
June waved him goodbye, and walked through the garage, and got in her brown station wagon, then drove to work.
Jack continued to watch clouds before the alarm on his phone went off. He got up and entered his home. The home was a simple two story home with two car garage, basement, which has four bedrooms and two baths, and open kitchen. The house belonged to Jack's grandfather, but he died before Jack could meet him, in his Will he left the home to his daughter and her husband.
Jack walks to the counter and sees the package. He goes to open it, but heard the horn of a motorcycle. He shouts to it, "just let me get my bag, and I'll be out in a second." He runs up to his room and grabs his backpack, he runs back down and sees the package and puts it in his backpack. He enters the garage and sees a blue street motorcycle, and says, "I'm ready lets go Arcee," to the bike.
The headlights on the bike flashed as it said, "Good, sooner we get there the better." The truth is the motorcycle is more than a simple motorcycle. The truth is that it is a female robotic alien that transforms into a motorcycle. She is on one side of a war that has been fought for thousands of millennia. A war between the Autobot, (Good guys) against the Decepticons (Bad guys).She is an Autobot, who due to coincidence pickup Jack while she was being chased by Decepticons, all because Jack's love of well designed vehicles.
Jack got on and after putting on his helmet the rode off to the outskirts of Jasper.
"You have been quiet, what's up?" Arcee question her human charge.
"It's just today is my dad's birthday," Jack answers with a sigh.
"You say it like it's a bad thing. I thought that birthdays are meant to be a day of achievement," Arcee comments.
Jack looked down at Arcee and says, "Today is also the day he died," and looked into the distance.
"Sorry if I have brought up some bad memories," Acree apologised.
"You didn't know," Jack said as they entered a large missile silo disguised as a large stone mesa, "Do you know if Miko and Raf, are already here?"
"Bee messaged me, Miko and Raf arrived just before I picked you up and Bulk went on patrol," Arcee answered.
They arrived in the main chamber. Jack gets off Arcee, and she transforms into a twenty foot tall humanoid robot. (1) In the chamber is another two Robots and another two humans, in an elevated area. Arcee spoke up, "We are back Ratchet."
Ratchet the team medic, he transforms into an ambulance(1), always working on the bases systems, improving them as he goes. Ratchet then says, "Good Bulkhead should return soon as well. Optimus should also be returning soon."
Jack walked up a ladder to get to others, and says, "Hey guys what you up to?"
"Raf just installed his Xbox One, into the TV and is installing a couple games," said Miko. Miko is a Japanese seventeen year old girl, with her hair in two pony tails with a pink streak, wearing a black slash monkey singlet over a pale pink shirt, and black short shorts over black yoga pants.
Raf is fifteen, with his hair spiked up looking like it is on fire. Wearing dark grey pants, cream shirt and brown vest.
-Honk, beep wine- came from a large yellow, with black stripes with doors on its back. This is Bubblebee, the teams scout, he transforms into a yellow muscle car with racing strips. (1)
"I know Bee, and once it's done installing we can test out your controller," Raf told Bee, "and I'll defeat you this time," pointing at Bee.
Jack chuckled and says, "I see Raf and Bee are still competitive," to Miko, who is sitting on an old couch. He places his bag on the metal table and Jack and Miko hear a metal thud.
"What was that?" Miko questions, looking at his bag.
Jack thinks on this, then opens his bag and says, "I got a package this morning, but I didn't get a chance to open it," he pulls out a box and after looking at it he sees no return address. He then says, "I wonder what it is?"
Miko then said, "Maybe the cons sent it."
Jack looked at it and said, "they would have needed to know how to use postage," he then opens it, and sees something he hasn't seen since the last time he saw his dad. It was a belt, designed like a dashboard, with one black circle of a car with an ignition switch on the side, he also sees an oversized watch, with a folded red car, attached and a metal holder holding three more cars, all with metal hinge on them. The first is orange with flame design, the second is green with spikes and the third is purple with a throwing star design. The belt appears to be rusted over, like a disused engine. The last thing Jack sees is a note. He pulls it out and reads, "'these belonged to your father. He died saving not only my life, but the life of others. I did what I could, but I could not fix the damage. But I believe that you can.'"
Miko looks at the contents of the package and asks, "What is this stuff?"
Jack looked at her and said, "My dad really loved motor vehicles. He owned a garage, and race track just outside of Jasper. He would fix them and test them for customers, make sure they were working. I haven't been there in a while," he then takes out the belt and puts it on, "though I wonder who had it," and looks at the letter, "it says from Heart, I wonder who that is? And there is no return address."
"How did your father die?" Miko questioned, looking concerned.
"Mom says that he was racing and crashed, at least that is what she told me. I have a feeling that today is going to be full of surprises," he then tries to take the belt off but couldn't, "Well might as well complete the look," and put on the watch on his wrist and metal holder on the belt. "There."
"You look," Miko started, "absolutely the same," causing Jack to look at her and become depressed.
"Well my dad would wear either a suit or his overalls when he went out. He also drove his own customised sports car, though it had six wheels for some reason," Jack retorted.
Before Miko could question him, Raf got the Xbox working and loaded up a racing game. (2) He places the disc in and the console says to update your console. Raf says, "That sucks."
Bumblebee face palms and make sounds that if you could understand, would be a string of curse words towards the Xbox, while swinging his arms in the air.
"At least I already made and downloaded profiles for us to use," Raf comments while Bee fumes.
"Yeah I wonder how many gamers, had that reaction?" Miko whispered to Jack.
"Probably everyone who uses a Xbox One for the first time," Jack replied. Causing Miko to chuckle in amusement.
Arcee walks up to them and sees Bumblebee freaking out, turns to the others and asks, "Whats wrong with Bee?" clearly concerned.
"Gamers rage, it happens when the game pisses the gamer to the point Bee is at," Miko answered, "apparently it now happens when games are updating for the first time they are installed for the first time."
Arcee looks to them and asks, "Is it permanent?"
Miko answers, "No, because it just enrages people."
A green off-road jeep entered the Autobot base. Which once it entered the main chamber transformed into a large green mech. This mech is Bulkhead (1), the wrecker of team prime. (3) Bulkhead walked up to Ratchet, and reported to him, "Everything was clear on my patrol, no sign of Decepticons or energon(4) readings. Not that I was expecting any Decepticons after their last beating," laughing.
Ratchet turned to Bulkhead and says, "Bulkhead even if Megatron is defeated, that does not stop one of his commanding officers from taking over."
"You think Screamy, will be able to take over in just a day, if anything it will take him a week and that is if Soundwave does not kill him," Bulkhead retorted and walked up to the human sitting area, to see Bumblebee freaking out. He turns to Miko and asks, "Gamer Rage?" and she nodded.
Arcee looks at Jack and says, "Nice belt," in a mocking tone.
"Thanks it belonged to my dad," said Jack, shutting Arcee up.
"Sorry," Arcee replied.
"Don't worry Arcee, I just received them from a package, don't know from who," Jack informed her, then looked to Bumblebee, and said, "Hey, Bee, how about we go for a drive get some air," then his stomach rumbled, "and lunch." Bee calmed down and nodded. Jack then looked to Bulk and Cee, and said, "Do you two want to come with, and leave Ratchet to his computer upgrading." Bulk and Cee looked to him then Ratchet, before turning back and nodded to Jack.
Arcee turned to Ratchet and said, "Ratchet, we are going to get the kids some lunch. We'll be gone for an Earth hour. Contact us if you need us."
Ratchet looked to them, and thought on what they said, "Sure, lunch sounds good."
Miko looked at Ratchet and before she said anything. Jack says, "Remember Miko, Ratchet likes it more when we aren't here, except for Raf with his computer skills," causing Miko to nod as they went as they went down the ladder. The three Autobots transformed, Jack put his helmet on and got on Arcee, Miko got into Bulkhead and Raf into Bumblebee. Jack then said, "Later Ratchet," as they drove out the base.
They drove through the desert towards Jasper's only burger joint, KO Burger. The KO in KO burger stands for Knock out, as their motto is 'Every burger is a knock out', and is the place that Jack unfortunately works for.
They arrive and the three Autobots park themselves, and Jack, Miko and Raf enter the restaurant. They go to order, when suddenly, everything stops moving, as if time stops but everyone is aware it is happening. The only one who appears to not be affected is Jack. His surroundings are basically, everyone looking around slowly, and in the kitchen of the restaurant one of the employees is falling over with a tray of food. He turns around and sees three men unaffected by whatever was stopping everyone.
One of the men walks forward and grabbed Miko and said, "Your coming with us."
"Hey," Jack says as he grabs the man's wrist.
The man looks at him and back hands him across the room, and pulled Miko out the restaurant, followed by the two other men.
Jack gets up groggy, and runs after them, He has no idea what is going on but clearly, he needs to help Miko. He runs up to them, and jumps onto the one who has Miko. The man then transformed into a robotic snake themed creature. It grabs him and throughs him along the street. It yells, "If you wish to stay alive forget the girl."
Jack lies down on the floor as the other two men change into robotic creatures, one themed like a bat, the other with a spider theme. He looks at them as Miko tries to struggle, as the first creature grabs her by the throat and starts to choke her. Jack sees this and thinks back to the day his father died.
Flash back-Ten years ago.
POV eight year old Jack.
"Dad, do you have to go, it's your birthday. Can't someone else fix the persons car?" I ask as I see my father, as he walks to the door.
My father turns to me, and kneels in front of me and says, "Don't worry I'll be home for dinner," He looks straight into my eyes and said, "Jack in the future, if you have to make choice to save someone, just remember to..."
Present time.
Jack then Shouts, "Start! Your! Engine!" and runs at the three creatures, as his belt starts to spark with red, black, green and blue sparks, as the black screen started to glow red, and change to pristine condition. The three creatures look at him as he shouts and runs at them. Miko also sees this, hoping Jack knows what he is doing. Jack gets to the creature, as a red cylinder appeared around him and attached armour pieces to him as he punch the creature.
-'DRIVE!: Type Speed!'-(7) Jack is covered by red armour, with a car theme, over a black body suit. As a wheel flew around him and hit the other two creatures before attaching to Jack, diagonally around his chest. He grabs Miko and carries her to Bulkhead, and says to Bulk, "Get her out of here!"
" can' move!" Bulkhead struggles to say.
Jack, look at himself and back to the creatures and yells at the creatures, "What are you!"
Only to hear the answer from his father's belt, "They are Roidmude artificial lifeforms created to better humanity, only the man who created them was one of the worst lifeform, who was unfortunately human. Though I have a couple questions for you, who are you? And how old are you?"
"Jack Darby," Jack answers, "I'm eighteen," and gets shot at by one of the Roidmude, knocking him to the floor.
"We'll talk later, for now I'll get back up, while you use Max Flare Shift Car," the Belt informs.
"Um," Jack starts.
"The orange one," the belt reiterates with a sigh.
"Thank you," Jack pulls off the Max Flare Shift car, and twists it, before pulling off the red car and inserting the Max Flare Shift Car.
"Turn the key on the belt and push the shift car forward and back," Belt finishes.
-Tire Change!-
"Tire Change?" Jack asks as he looks at the Belt.
Darby Motor-Jasper Outskirts-As Jack Shouted.
Inside an abandoned garage, a custom red and black sports car turned on. Its horn beeped with its own unique sound. (6) The front of the garage sliding doors tried to open but would not budge an inch. The car then just blasted its way out the garage and drove towards Jasper.
Outside KO Burger-Present.
Jack, Miko, the Autobots, and the three Roidmide hear a car engine and a strange horn coming towards them. Most of them turn in the direction that the sound is coming from, and they see a custom red and black sports car, drift around a corner and shot the Roidmude, with red lasers.
Miko looked at the car and asked, "Is that an Autobot?"
Jack looks at the car with recognition and said, "Thats..."
"Tridoron, A weapon that I created to fight the Roidmude," the belt informed, with Jack looking down.
The car stopped and the front left wheel pulled itself into the car and generated another wheel, that is metallic orange, with folds along the circumference pop up and generating fire. It jettisoned from Tridoron, flew towards Jack and knocked the speed tyre of him, and hit the Roidmudes. The flaming wheel flew back towards Jack, he ducked to avoid it and it flew back to him and attached to him.
-'Max Flare'- Which is also written on the new tyre.
"Get him!" the lead Roidmude shouted.
The other two ran towards Jack, while Jack ran at them. The first one goes to punch him, but Jack blocked with his left arm and punched the Roidmude, with a flaming right hook into its face knocking it back.
"Use the shift car in the wrist brace, to use a finishing attack," the Belt informed.
Jack nodded, and presses the button on the wrist brace and pulls forwards and back the Max Flare shift car. –'Max Flare!: Full throttle!'- and generated a flaming spiral, that he kicked it towards the other Roidmude. "Let's try, the next one," and pulls out the green Shift car. –Tire Change!- and Tridoron generated a green tyre with spikes along it circumference, that extend before retracting and jettisoning towards Jack. It connects to Jack while knocking off the Max Flare tyre and attaching to Jack. –Funky Spikes-
The Roidmude attack him again but he flips over them as the tyre on his chest fires spikes at them. Jack punches one away and grabs the second from behind, and uses the shift lever to cause the wheel to spin like a buzz saw, cutting into the Roidmude, destroying its body and leaving a three digit number, 088, shaped core floating in the air.
Jack then says, "Last one," and pulls out the purple Shift car, and proceeded to change tyres. –Tyre Change- Tridoron then created a metallic purple wheel with four blade points along the tread of the wheel. It flies to Jack and switches with the Funky Spikes wheel. –Midnight Shadow-. The remaining two Roidmude, both attack at the same time. Jack was able to fight back, with martial arts that he didn't know beforehand, defecting their attacks and twisting around them and throws two energy throwing stars that are the size of the wheel, at the second Roidmude destroying that one as well. Only leaving another float three digit number core, 042, then it and the other core exploded.
"Change back to Speed tyre, and finish this," the Belt explained and Jack did just that. –All tires attack- and the speed tyre reattached to Jack as Flare, Spike and Shadow tyres attack the last Roidmude. Jack then turned the ignition key on the belt and activated the final attack. –Full Throttle! Speed!- Four tyres surround the last Roidmude holding it in place. Jack turns around facing the opposite direction as Tridoron started to drift in circles around Jack, generating a red barrier, as it drifted onto two wheels around Jack generating more speed as it goes. The four wheels start to speed up and through the Roidmude into the circle as Jack jumps forwards and proceeds to bounce back and forth around the Roidmude until he gets the momentum to smash through Roidmude and destroying the body, and lands outside the circle generating sparks along the ground as he grinds to a halt on the ground, on one knee. His right arm over his chest, his left behind him elevated. He then stands up and sees, the core, 109, before it explodes, and the 'heaviness' stopped.
"one, zero, nine? This does not bode well," Belt said to himself.
Jack then looked at himself, and pulled the shift car off and pressed the button. The armour dissipated, and Jack then falls over onto his back. Miko runs to him and shouts, "Jack, are you okay?" as she kneels next to him.
Jack looks up and says, "Not bad," and his stomach grumbles in need of food, "for running on fumes?"
Miko looks at him like he has gone crazy and starts to chuckle, before going straight to full-blown laughter.
The Belt laughs aswell and says, "Well you better refuel. I'll also need some where I can assess what has happened in the last ten years."
Miko looks at the belt, and says, "Well Belt, we'll get some food and then take you somewhere you should be able to get the information you need," Miko helps Jack up and they return to the burger joint as Raf runs outside, to see another car park itself and Miko helping Jack up.
"What just happened?" Raf questioned as Miko and Jack walked past him.
"We will explain when we get back to base," Miko said as they went inside and ordered several burgers for Jack and one each, for Raf and Miko.
Outside of Jasper-road to Autobot base-30 minutes later.
The three Autobots and one custom sports car were driving down the road towards the Autobot base. With Arcee at the front, with her Sadie hologram (8) on, Tridoron between Bulkhead and Bumblebee, with Jack driving Tridoron. Miko riding with Bulk,due to her impatience. Raf with Bee.
"Where are we going? Because I strongly dislike not knowing," the Belt stated from his holder in the dash board of the car.
Jack looked at the belt and said, "Well, we figured we should keep that information for when we get there, and you can answer some of our questions," he then had a thoughtful look, "I should warn you, Miko will bombard you with questions."
The Belt looked at him, "I will keep that in mind," and looked through the headlights and saw Arcee go through a hanger door in the side of a giant stone mesa. Quickly followed by Bulkhead, Tridoron and Bumblebee, they drove along a utility hallway to the base at a second Mesa. They drove to the Autobot base main chamber, and sees Ratchet at a computer terminal, typing furiously.
Ratchet turns to the returning Autobot and says, "I detected a surge of Gravitons in Jasper, I tried to make contact but," he sees Tridoron and asks, "please tell me you didn't reveal yourselves to more humans."
Jack got out of Tridoron and shouted to Ratchet, "No, some artificial creatures called Roidmudes, tried to kidnap Miko," then referred to Tridoron, "And then my father's belt transformed me into an armoured warrior. I don't know all the details."
"That is preposterous. You would have been able to move let alone fight. Human or Cybertroian." Ratchet informed.
"I believe I should explain," Belt said as Tridoron changed. The engine and driver seats, popped up in created arms as the wheels and the rest of the car turned on the spot, and moved all six wheels on the ground, creating a base for the canopy as it reattached (9). The belt then said, "My name is Krim Stienbelt. I am a former human scientist and I was developing a new propulsion system to for interplanetary transport. Unfortunately my human body was killed so I transferred my consciousness into this Drive Driver," Krim said as he offered Tridoron's arm appendage to Ratchet.
Ratchet shock the hand and says, "A pleasure to meet a fellow scientist, but I must ask If the Gravitons I detected were part of your research and How it can be used in such a way?"
Krim had Tridoron change back to its default form, and said, "Jack could you put me on," Jack nodded and pulled the driver from Tridoron and put it on. Krim then continued once Jack was done, and a holographic display appeared in mid air as the Other Autobots transformed, "While the system is active the affects of gravity decrease to the point that anything affected, say a human falling from a building, could slow down the affects of gravity to ten percent of normal gravity. Using the example the human could land on the ground from heights that would kill them."
"Wouldn't that require more thrust, due to the density of the gravitons?" Ratchet questioned.
"That is if the systems thrusters didn't have a negating field that I developed, It is why Jack was able to move in the Gravity Surge the Roidmudes created," as a large number of shift cars exited Tridoron, "These are Shift cars they have a negating field that can be transferred to others. And before I can continue I have to inform you, the Drive system has the Ability to generate Gravity Surges."
Arcee looked at the belt and to everyone else in the room, and asks, "Am I the only one who feels like he knows what we are already?"
"Well I met one like you all years ago, but he was tight-lipped on who created him," Krim admitted.
Jack looks at Krim and said, "There Cybernetic Aliens."
Krim was silent for a second, before angrily saying, "Drift if I ever see you again I'll get you back for that," he then calmed down and said, "Sorry an old friend of mine, said that he was built by a scientist, but clearly he will always find ways to mess with people."
From the entrance a red and blue semi truck entered the base, and transformed into large robot, with red upper body and blue head and legs. This is Optimus Prime the leader of the Autobots. He then spoke up, "Ratchet any news on the gravitons you detected," he looks down and sees Tridoron, "did I miss something?"
Ratchet and the other Autobots explained what happened, and the new additions to the team.
Miko, Jack, with Krim in hand, and Raf walk up to the Human area, where Jack set him on the table. "We are going to have to get you seat or stand," Jack thought aloud, as the Shift cars drove around them on floating miniature highways.
"What's the deal with all the cars?" Miko questioned as she sat down on the coach.
"They are the Shift cars allies to Drive. Jack meet your allies, this is most of them there is a couple that appear to not be functioning," Krim informed the children.
Jack sat down next to Miko, and asked, "Do you know who Heart is?"
Krim looked at Jack in shock and asked, "How do you know that name?" Jack showed him the note. Krim appeared to close his eyes and said, "He is Roidmude zero zero two. Your father made headway in creating peace for the Roidmudes that just wanted to live, by protecting a Roidmude who was living with a human in peace, even protecting that human, without killing other humans. He gained the attention of Heart, the end result was that they talked. They came to an agreement, If the Roidmude stopped attacking humans for personal gain, there would no longer be any need to destroy one another. It was the first steps in achieving peace."
"Then what happened, because I highly doubt that was the end of it," Jack questioned.
"Roidmude, zero zero one attacked, your father stopped him, but he came back, in his final evolution. Your father and Heart fought him, but the last thing I remember is getting blasted by Frosts last attack. Then I awaked to see you change into Drive and punch that Roidmude, if anything I might as well have been dead," Krim answered honestly.
"So my dad managed to convice one of the Roidmude's leaders to accept peace, in exchange for survival of humans and Roidmude, how many Roidmude are their?" Jack replied and asked.
"Ten years ago, one hundred and eight. Now I do not know, the last Roidmude you defeated was numbered one hundred and nine. They must have found a way to increase their numbers," Krim answered.
"So the lower the number the stronger they are?" Raf questioned from his computer work space, "Did Jack's dad have any help we could contact?"
"No, the only people I know of that could are retired or I am unable to contact," Krim answered and looked to Jack, "could you hand me over to your young friend I'm in need of up to date information," Jack nods and takes him to Raf, Krim then asks, "So I have introduced myself, what is your name?"
Raf answers, "Rafael Jorge Gonzales Esquivel, it is an honour to meet you Doctor Stienbelt."
Krim thinks on this, "Any relation to Harley Gonzales?"
Raf looks at Krim, "He's my Grandfather. You know him?" and Krim hums in the positive. The two then accesses the Internet. Where Krim surf through it all, while Raf goes to the Xbox and challenges Bee to a race.
Autobot Outpost Omega One-several hours later
Jack, Miko and Raf have set up cans, boos and pencils in an impromptu race track and had the shift cars racing one another. Miko and Raf both had favourites, Miko's is Midnight Shadow, while Raf liked Dimension Cab, both of which would tie for first. For Jack he liked the Speed shift car, but for some reason it didn't race the other Shift cars.
As Jack was looking at it, Krim's voice came out of it, "The Speed Shift car acts as another body for me, when I need to investigate something. For the time being keep it with you, for when you need me."
"Okay," Jack says as he attaches it to the Shift brace, his phone falls out of his pocket. He picks it up and sees the time, "guys' time to head home, curfew," and received disappointment from the other two teens. Jack turns to Krim, "Is it okay, for you to stay here Krim?"
"Just call me Gramps, Jack, and I will be okay here, just set me up in Tridoron. Also do you kids need a ride home?" Krim answered and asked.
Arcee answered for them, "We can handle it, besides we have to keep an eye on them," referring to Bulkhead and Bumblebee, "Besides I'm sure Ratchet would like the company of a fellow scientist, even if he will not admit it."
Ratchet speaks up, "My only problem is that it is too much effort being in the presence of humans, making sure we do not step on them. Krim on the other hand," waving his hand towards Tridoron, "and it would be productive to compare notes," he finished with a smirk.
Arcee, Bulkhead and Bumblebee, all looked completely shocked, Ratchet is happy, Bulkhead spoke up, "Ratchet maybe you should get some rest."
Of course Ratchet does what he does and shout, "I may be old but I am far from being outdated."
Bulkhead turns to the others, "He is fine. No need to panic." Krim, the teens, Arcee and Bumblebee laugh at Bulkhead. Bulk then says, "Let's get these kids back to their homes," and the three Autobots took Jack, Miko and Raf home.
After they left, Krim spoke, "Ratchet, could you give me a history lesson on Cybertronians?"
"As long as you share some of your research," Ratchet offered.
"I can supply some designs to aid the Autobot, I have already sent a couple of the Shift cars to follow Miko and Raf with Shift Braces. Perhaps we can make brace that you or your fellow Autobots can us," Krim commented and Ratchet smirked.
The next day-Autobot base.
Optimus was deep in thought as Ratchet walked up to him, and asked, "Optimus you clearly need to relax. The guilt you feel for Megatron's demise is misplaced, it was his own fault."
"I know old friend, but a part of me, just wishes that I could have changed his mind," Optimus answered.
As Ratchet was going to respond an explosion occurred in the back ground, Ratchet says, "Were under attack?" They both run to the medical section of the chamber to see Raf and Bumblebee working on a model volcano, that has exploded with large amounts of smoke.
"No just my model Volcano," Raf answered, then the volcano melted, "It was."
They turn to see Miko and Bulkhead working on a model of the solar system. As she goes to give Jupiter its spot, a blob of red paint hits the floor and she says, "Oops."
They then turn to Jack, Arcee and Krim, working on a Motor cycle. Jack turns it on and it starts up, "You were right Gramps, it was the spark plugs," as he revs the engine.
"What is going on here?" Ratchet shouts.
"Science Project, for school," Raf answered, "It's a major part of our grade."
Ratchet then asks, "Well you can't do them here!"
Optimus put his hand servo on Ratchet's shoulder, "Ratchet, perhaps this will allow our fellow Autobots in learning more about Earth."
Jack then said, "And it means they can relax instead of being on alert," which Bulk, Bee and Arcee nodded in agreement, he then said, "looks like we are finished with mine," as he wipes his hands with a rag.
"Then we can go to your father's garage, and get some equipment," Krim stated, "Though we will need Bulkhead to tow an Tridoron's portable charge station."
"But I'm helping Miko, with her model of the solar system," Bulk complained.
"The sooner we get to the garage, the sooner we can build the prototypes Gravity Surge protectors, that Ratchet and I designed," Krim stated and asked, "Would you like try the system first? And perhaps drive faster than Bumblebee?" with a smile.
Bulkhead thought on this and turned to Miko, "It would be nice to be a bit faster."
"Go for it big guy," Miko said, "and once they test their prototype, we are gonna go as fast as you can," and the two fist bumped.
The bases computer system's alarm went off. Ratchet when to his terminal and informed his fellow Autobots, "The sensors have detected Energon on the move. And as all of us are currently not transporting Energon, then clearly the Decepticons are on the move."
"Ratchet you and I will investigate, while the others continue to aid our human allies," Optimus ordered.
Ratchet looked to Raf's half built replacement volcano and said, "It is an important part of their school grade, and the sooner Krim and I start our project, our Energon efficiency will aid us in the future."
"Very well old friend, Bumblebee I require your assistance," Optimus informed, with Bee becoming depressed.
"Don't worry Bee, when you get back we'll have a Race," Raf said, cheering Bumblebee up, and Bee giving Raf a thumbs up.
"Arcee, stay on base in case of emergence," Optimus ordered, "Bulkhead, go with Krim and Jack."
"Yes, Optimus," Arcee and Bulkhead responded.
Ratchet opened the groundbridge, and Optimus and Bumblebee transformed and drove through. Ratchet then turned the ground bridge off and went to help Raf with his science project. Tridoron drove up next to Jack and he got in.
Before Jack left he had a thought, and leaned out Tridoron's window and yelled, "Ratchet don't touch my project, I already had the help of a scientist who is able to build engines like that one, without hands," Ratchet looked at him and nodded, "Okay, come on Bulk, I haven't seen my dad's garage since he taught me how to drive."
"Wait didn't he die ten years ago?" Bulk questioned as he transformed.
"He wanted to teach me and he did, mum freaked though," Jack answered as they left the base.
Arcee walked over to Miko, and asked, "So what is left to do on your science project?"
"I finished when I did, Jupiter's spot. Want to help me set up a track for the shift cars?" Miko responded.
Arcee answers, "Sure, where we setting it up?"
Miko directed her to the human area, where she lifted her bag onto her shoulder, and walked over to two old table tennis boards. Miko then said, "Jack, Raf and I found these tables in the storage room next to the bathrooms," she pulls out a box of chalk and some hot wheels stunt stuff, "What do you think of a figure eight?"
Arcee thought on this and said, "How about the largest race course on Cybortron?"
Miko looked at Arcee and says, "Tell me more," paying so much attention to Arcee, it was scary.
Darby Motor-30 minutes later.
Tridoron and Bulkhead arrived at Darby motor, where Jack got out of Tridoron, and looks at the building. Bulk asked him, "You okay Jack?"
"Yeah it's just been a long time since I was here," Jack answered as he got out Tridoron, "Let's get this stuff, and get back," and received two hums of agreement.
"Okay, the items we need should all be just inside," Krim stated, "Just look for the sliding door with the Tridoron shape hole, once you get in," Jack entered the hole in the front of the building through the hole, "Open the door, it will make towing the charge station easier. Now see the white arch, there is a lever that will fold it to its trailer form," Jack did as Krim used the Speed Shift Car, to search the building, "Also Jack behind the workbench at the back of the room, there is a button to a secret room, the rest of the equipment we need is there. Only take what we need."
Jack proceeded to the Work bench, and went to the Bench after opening the front door, as Bulkhead reversed into the garage to connect the trailer. It is your basic workbench, with tools and a scale model of Tridoron. Jack looked at it for a second before face palming. He went straight to the model, and opened the driver's side door. The result was a small room with some high-tech tools, like a robotic assembler, a holographic display table and a strange box contraption. Then there were the car themed weapons, a blue bladed sword with a steering wheel, a red and black gun with a door on it, a blue trailer and a gun with a tire on the front. "What with the with the designs on these things?" referring to the weapons.
Krim chuckled, "They were designed to work with the Drive system. We need the assembler, the holo-display and the metal synthesiser. Also grab the weapons we can repair them for use," Jack nodded and grab the three described machines and the themed weapons, and loaded them to the trailer, and help attach the trailer to Bulkhead. Krim then said, "Well that is all we need for now."
Jack secured the trailer to Bulkhead and says, "Okay bulk that is everything, lets head back."
"Good," Bulkhead said as he started to drive back to base.
Jack gets in Tridoron and follows after he gets and they drive off as a white lanborgini with custom oversized spoiler, drives from the other direction and parks in thegarage.
Optimus and Bumblebees'-Current location
For Optimus and Bumblebees' simple recon mission, escalated when they discovered that the energon readings was in fact Starscream and one of Megatron's most loyal warriors, Skyquake. Skuquake is green with red trim, with jet wings on his back. (1)
Optimus had stepped forward, to convince Skyquake to help him end the conflict between the Autobots and Decepticons, which Skyquake drew his Minigun and took aim. He would have blasted Optimus, if it was not for Bumblebee, he would have been injured. Instead Bumblebee was thrown into the rock walk next to Skyquake and while he was taking aim of Bumblebee, which was stopped by Optimus. Optimus continued to try and convince Skyquake only to be punched.
Optimus and Bumblebee stepped back as Skyquake stumbled, low on energon. Once Skyquake recovered, the two Autobots transformed and reversed away from Skyquake. Skyquake in response chased them on foot, expending more energon.
Unfortunately, the worst thing happened, Fowler showed up, in his modified Harrier jet craft. Which Skyquake scanned it, and transformed, into a green version with red trim. Started dive bombing Optimus and Bumblebee from the sky.
They both took cover behind some rocks, and Optimus contacting Fowler, "Fowler fall back."
"No can do," Fowler said. Fowler is in his early forties, African American gentleman wearing a grey suit, white shirt and red tie. He continues, "I can supply air support," as he got a target lock on Skyquake and fired a missile.
"If Skyquake targets you, evacuate immediately," Optimus requests and turns, "Bumblebee," and sees that Bumblebee is not there, causing him to sigh.
Bumblebee is currently on top of the cliff wall, as Skyquake flew into the canyon to avoid Fowler's missiles. As Skyquake flew under him, Bumblebee jumped on him and grabs hold of Skyquake. Skyquake in response started flying straight up and Bumblebee kept hold on Skyquake. Until Bee punched two holes into Skyquake, causing him to dive bomb to the ground, Bee was saved by Fowler as he flew past, who Bee jumped over to his jet.
Once Fowler landed Bumblebee got off of the jet, and walked over to Optimus, expecting to get scolded. Only Optimus said, "Good job Bumblebee," and activated his comm., "Ratchet, we need a Ground Bridge."
Ratchet activated the Ground Bridge, and with one last look at the remains of Skyquake, before Optimus, Bumblebee, holding Fowler's jet, and Fowler walked through the Ground Bridge.
Autobot Outpost Omega One-present.
Bulkhead, Jack and Krim in Tridoron, returned to the base, through the main entrance of the base, to see Ratchet wielding a metal volcano model and in the human area, Arcee, Miko and Raf in the human. Jack parked Tridoron and un-hooked the charging trailer, before Bulkhead transformed, as he and Jack walked up to the human area, to see Arcee, Miko. Raf and some of the shift cars constructing a race track. Well that is what it looks like.
"What have you been up to?" Jack asked as he and Krim got to the elevated human area. As he sees Arcee and Miko with some Shift cars creating a Race track, while Raf worked on his computer.
"Well I have been skimming through conspiracy websites," Raf answered, "Found some of images of Bee and other vehicles driving themselves," showing images of cars, with no drivers.
Miko looked over to Jack, "Arcee and I have been reconstructing one of Cybertron's greatest race track the 'Kaon Run'," referring to the mountain with spiralling road with tunnels with a jump at the bottom and a bridge at the top, "and it is only half done."
"More like a quarter; the 'Kaon run' is one of the most dangerous tracks on Cybertron, with all the canyon jumps over Molten steel, the underground caverns are so dark your head lights can't see more than a few feet ahead of you," Bulkhead stated, "Not to mention the dead drop."
Arcee looked at him, "How do you know that?" in shock.
"During my time with my last unit, we went through the Kaon run to escape from some Decpticon drones. Almost got scraped a few times, only made it over that jump by the concussion wave of an explosion," Bulkhead informed.
Then the computer systems received a communication from Optimus. Ratchet walks over to the Ground Bridge and opens a portal to Optimus and Bumblebees' current location. Where the two Autobot, one holding Fowler's jet and Fowler walk through the Ground Bridge.
"Hey Ratchet, my jet needs a tune up," Fowler stated before he sees Tridoron, "Why is that here?" as he walks to the human area.
"It belonged to my father," Jack answered, causing Fowler to stop mid step. Jack sees this and asks, "Why do you ask?"
"Because the Government has wanted to be recruited, especially after he stopped some unknown assailants attempted to kidnap the daughter of America's number one consultant on advance technologies," Fowler insinuated.
"Please," Krim started, "Like that moron knows anything about the Technologies," from Jacks waist.
"Is it possible to talk to your father?" Fowler questioned.
"Unfortunately, he died ten years ago," Krim stated, "Now Ratchet, after you finished tuning that jet. We can install the Drive Pit."
"Of course once I have finished," Ratchet responded.
"Thank you," Krim said as an alarm went off, "It appears that it is time for Jack, Miko and Raf to head home, they have a sciences fair tomorrow."
"Yeah, Miko we'll finish the track, after you three finish school tomorrow," Arcee informed, "let's go Jack."
"What about my science project?" Jack asked.
"I'll deliver them to your school in the early morning," Optimus informed.
"Thank you Optimus," Jack said as he connected Krim to the base computers, "See you to tomorrow, Gramps."
"Thank you Jack," Krim thanked.
"Have fun Ratchet," Miko informed as she grab her science project and got in Bulkhead car form.
"Thank you Optimus, you as well as you Ratchet, for the help on the assignment," Raf said as he got into Bumblebee.
Jack got on Arcee's bike form, and rode off.
Fowler walked over to Krim and asked, "So who are you?"
Autobot Outpost Omega One-the next day.
Ratchet was finishing up installing Tridoron's charge station as Fowler was at one station writing up a report to his superiors. While Optimus was at the Autobot computer station. This was the sight, that the three Autobots and three teenagers as they entered the base.
"There all done," Ratchet says as he gets up, "You can put Tridoron in its charger," Tridoron parked itself into its charger.
"Thank you Ratchet," Krim informed, "So how was your science fair?" asking the teenagers.
"Yes how was our, I mean your project," Ratchet asked.
"We'll it went about as well as my last science project," Raf answered, "With an F and a second strike on my school records."
"Wait, a second strike? What was the first?" Miko asked as she looked at him like he was crazy.
"Last year, I built a working railgun," Raf answered, "It was low powered and shot toy cars. Had a target made of cinderblocks and had already tested it. But before it could be demonstrated Vince, tampered with it, so it exploded due to a miss alignment of the magnets and overcharged it. It still fired but caused a foot wide hole at a distance of ten feet."
"Vince tends to do that," Jack informed as he walks to the Human area, and asks Fowler, "what you up to?"
"I'm writing up a report, on Professor Steinbelt, and the Roidmudes, and basically everything else, that you three kids and the Bots have done recently. But don't worry they will not be taking Krim, apparently the only people who can even wear that suit needs certain genetic structures in their DNA," Fowler informed, "Your father was a good man. A few years ago he save my bacon, with those friends of his."
"Friends?" Jack asks.
Fowler checks his watch, "Don't worry kid, I am sure you'll meet them one day," he gets up with his report, "I'll be back in a couple days. Try not to cause me any headaches," as he enters the elevator to his jet on the roof.
"Arcee we have Patrol," Optimus stated as he walked to the main entrance.
"Sure Optimus," Arcee replied before she turns to Miko, "We'll work on the race track later."
"Bulkhead and Bumblebee, we also received a distress signal in the arctic. I need you to investigate," Optimus ordered.
"Sure Optimus," Bulkhead answered for him and Bumblebee, as Optimus and Arcee drove out the base, as Ratchet opened the Ground Bridge to the Arctic for Bulkhead and Bumblebee.
Arctic-Half Hour Later.
Bulkhead and Bumblebee were walking along an ice ridge, both holding handheld sensors. Bulk is at the top of a ridge with Bee facing another direction. Bee took a step towards Bulkhead, but fell through the ice he was standing on, into a crevasse. When he stopped falling, he got up and saw a Cybertronian escape pod. He yelled to Bulkhead, who had heard Bee fall, tiptoed over towards the hole.
Once he gets there he asks Bee, "A Cybertronian escape pod. Any Idea if its Autobot or Decepticon?" Bumblebee replied in his math based language, "I'll radio Ratchet, Is there enough room down there for a portal?" as the ice around Bulkhead starts to crack and he falls down too.
Autobot Outpost-the next morning.
Bulkhead and Bumblebee was currently connected to the computer systems getting defrosted.
This continued until went to disconnect early, but was stopped by Ratchet. Ratchet then said, "Bulkhead you must follow recommended Defrost procedure. You know what kind of damage below zero temperatures can do to your systems," As Arcee, with Jack and Miko riding her, and Optimus, supplying Raf a ride to the base, entered the base.
"Where here Doc Bot!" Miko shouted as she took off her borrowed helmet.
Ratchet looked to the three teenagers and asked, "Shouldn't the three of you be in school?"
"It's Saturday," Raf answered.
"Meaning we get to spend more time with you, Ratchet," Miko said and continued, "Is that a problem?" she questioned with a smirk.
"Just what we need, Miko on an Audio Rampage! Just what my audio receptors need," Ratchet complained.
"Don't panic Ratchet, Miko left her guitar at her exchange families house. The only sound she will be making is her victory cheers for winning on the Xbox," Jack informed as Miko pouted.
Optimus stepped over to Ratchet and said, "Ratchet any new information on the pod?"
"No Optimus, we will need to wait for the ice covering the pod to melt. So we can open it," Ratchet informed.
"Perhaps, we can find answers on the pod, in the Arctic," Optimus stated.
"Bulkhead and Bumblebee cannot go they are in the final stages of system defrost. If they go now they could suffer, irreparable system damage," Ratchet supplied his medical diagnostic.
"Then Optimus and I will go," Arcee replied, "Unless anyone has any problems?"
"That is acceptable, Arcee, and I believe that we can handle the task, Ratchet," Optimus stated and stopped Ratchet from making hysterical comments.
Ratchet sighed as he grabbed his hand held computer, "Well only when I have made a change to your on board sensors," making their Autobot logos flash blue, "these will tell you when system damage is imminent," He then opened a Ground Bridge.
Arcee and Optimus ran through, with Max Flare hitching a ride on Arcee, before the Ground Bridge console exploded. Ratchet shouted, "Scrape!"
The other occupants of the base turned to Ratchet. Bulkhead and Bumblebee ran up to him, and Bulkhead asked, "What happened? Did they make it through?"
"They made it through, but them returning intact is another matter," Ratchet answered and then continued, "I will start repairs. Bulkhead, Bumblebee I need you both to lift the console. Hopefully it is just a minor glitch, and not in need of more intensive repairs," Bulkhead and Bumblebee lifted the main console as Ratchet crawled under.
In the human area Jack, Miko and Raf, went back to relaxing playing on the Xbox. Until Krim spoke up, "Jack I have finished with the tuning and repairs on the Drive weapons," Krim is currently next to the bases computer console, with the assembler in cool down, "Your father's sense of naming, was terrible though. The sword is call Handle Sword, the red gun is Door Gun, the blue trailer is called Trailer Cannon and the white gun with the wheel design is as of yet unnamed. It was finished during the peace your father was forming."
"So when should we do a test run?" Miko questioned,
"I have to calibrate the Drive Shift Cars, before we can do a proper test run," Krim answered, "It will take a day or two, to fix them all," as the display window of the assembler opened revealing a black with white racing stripes shift car and another that appears to be a green tow truck Shift car, "type Wild and type Technic really just needed a reboot, but type Formula," referring to the blue formula race car shift car and three other formula shift cars, next to him, "Needs to be rebuilt from scratch."
"Why do the Formula shift cars need to be rebuilt?" Raf questioned from his spot at the computer.
On Krim's face plate of the belt, he has a saddened look before saying, "It was the form that Jack's father was in during his last battle," sadness in his voice.
Jack then asked, "How is it different to type Speed?" genuinely curious.
"As the type implies, sheer speed," Krim answered.
In the back ground Miko is holding the Trailer Cannon, aiming down its sights. She points it across the chamber, at an empty crate, and pulls the trigger. The result was Miko getting launched back into the couch and the crate, popping like a balloon. Miko then says, "I want one of these for my birthday!"
Bulkhead yells, "Miko are you Okay?"
"She is okay Bulkhead. She is just touching stuff that is dangerous," Jack answered for Miko, who was blushing with a grin, absolutely glowing. Jack looks at her, "You realise that gramps may not have tunned that cannon right and you would have become a smear on the wall," Jack's reply was the trailer cannon honking a truck horn and driving off.
"The Trailer cannon is also a shift car, that can calibrate its output," Krim informed as the Trailer parked itself, "I was able to reactivate him," as hit honked hello.
"Keep it away from Miko, all of them," Ratchet yelled from under the console, making Miko pout. At this point the lights in the main chamber flicker, Ratchet says, "Once I fix the Ground Bridge, I will check the generators," and continues to work on the Ground Bridge.
"I'll go check them, It will save time for when you fix it," Raf spoke up and went into the halls of the base.
"I don't know what your problem with the kids is," Bulkhead started, "But clearly its just your stubbiness."
"Actually," Ratchet replies from under the console, "The only one I have a problem with is Miko, now. So keep her away from anything I am working on."
The Arctic-Optimus and Arcee-present time.
Optimus is currently climbing up the side of the cliff. When he is three quarters of the way up, he observes his surroundings as his Autobot symbol beeps and flashes blue. He contacts Arcee on his radio, "Arcee, I believe it is time we return to base," and starts climbing down.
Arcee responds, "Heading to extract zone, also one of Jack's new friends hitched a ride."
They meet up at the extraction zone, with Max Flare riding on Arcee's shoulder. Optimus moves his hand to his audio receptor and attempts to contact Ratchet, but only receives static. He turns to Arcee and says, "I have lost contact with base, are you able to make contact?"
Arcee attempts to contact the others as well with no luck. She turns to Optimus, "It must be a problem on their end."
Optimus looked at their surroundings before saying, "We need to find shelter," then spots, a space under an outcrop of rocks, "there!" pointing at it.
Arcee hummed in agreement before speaking, "How long do you think it will take for them to get us out of here?" as they both walked to the rocky outcrop.
Autobot Outpost-hallways.
Raf was walking through the base, just staring at the ceiling deep in thought about the last couple weeks.
First off, meeting the bots. At the time he was controlling his RC car, just driving it in circles, when Jack and Arcee arrived, by jumping off a bridge. Both of who were being chased by three Decepticon drones. After jack got off of Arcee, she and the drones had transformed, when Bumblebee drove in from behind the drones, tripping the centre drone, and jumping towards Arcee and stepping on Raf RC car. He never saw how it ended; Jack had pulled him through the drain pipes back to the edge of Jasper.
The next day after school, he gets a lift to the Autobot base, from Bumblebee. Then meeting the rest of the Autobot and gaining friends. Before meeting the bots the only friends he had were online, and half a world away. Even with his large family, he is the odd one out as well as the youngest. He became an important part of team Prime, with his skills in computers and electronics. Which resulted in Jack, Miko and Raf, ground bridging to America's biggest telescope array, to disrupt the Decepticon's plans, at least until Soundwave, who was there as well, cut the physical connection between the computer systems and the array.
Which leads on to the second thing he is thinking about, the robotic creatures, Roidmudes and that Jack is now a superhero. His grandfather told him stories about heroes of the past. Scientist, soldiers, adventurers, all working together to protect humanity. Raf had thought that his grandfather was just telling stories, but now he is not too sure as one of those stories talked about a kamen rider known as Drive.
He continued to think on these events until he tripped over, falling on his face with his glasses sliding along the ground. Reaching forward, he grabs his glasses and looks at what he tripped over.
What he saw is a four legged robotic creature, with an oversized head with large purple eyes on a stumpy body. Raf looked at it and said, "Where did you come from?" as the small robot walked to him, "I didn't know the bots had pets?" he picks up a large bolt, "want to play catch?" and throws the bolt. The small creature catches it chomps it down, Raf says, "No you'll choke," and sees the little robot turn around, "guest not," as the little robot crawls to his leg and rubs it's head on Raf's leg. Raf kneels down to pet it.
Arctic-Random Rock Outcropping
Arcee and Optimus were resting under the rock outcropping as the winds started picking up. Between the two was a small bonfire made out of what appeared to be miniature highways. Max Flare is recharging on Optmus' shoulder, it used up all its 'skyway matter' (10) to make a fire for the two Autobots.
Arcee looked to the fire and then to Optimus, "To think, If we never met Jack, we would probably be freezing our circuits."
Optimus hummed and replied, "Yes meeting Jack, Miko and Raf, has proven to be as the humans say, 'A home field advantage'. Raf with his knowledge on computers and technology. Jack, being level headed and brave, and with his new responsibility of being 'Drive'."
Arcee nodded in agreement, before having a thoughtful look on her face. Arcee then asks, "And Miko?"
Optimus answers, "I am sure she will show use what she really can do, when the time is right."
"Is that your way of saying, you have no idea?" Arcee asks with a smirk. Optimus deadpans at her and nods and Arcee says, "Well, if anything, Miko will probably be the one who keeps Ratchet sane, especially with how when he complains he normally finds his answer. Remember the time Bulkhead tripped and broke Ratchet's first attempt a building a ground bridge, after that incident Ratchet was so angry, in his rambles he discovered what was limiting the ground bridge." Arcee chuckled.
"Ratchet has always been, passionate of his work. His anger just, tends to help him," Optimus countered.
Arcee then looked to the sky and asked, "So base's communication is out, and they have not opened a ground bridge. Maybe Bulkhead tripped on a cable." Optimus looked at her in confusion. Arcee then continued, "you have any crazy ideas what happened at base."
Optimus looked at the ground from his sitting position, "Perhaps Ratchet was servicing the power systems at base and forgot to turn on the fuel."
"Knowing Ratchet he would not have done that, He did that after that space bridge blew up. He did overload it when he sent use up there and back," Arcee replied.
"Maybe, he made an anti-Miko ray, that-" Optimus started and was interrupted by a small pod entering Earth's atmosphere and landing near their location. Optimus then stood up, and says, "let us investigate," and started walking towards the crash site at the base of a glacier.
Autobot Outpost Omega One-Main Chamber.
Ratchet is accessing the main circuit board for the ground bridge, with Bulkhead and Bumblebee hovering over him. Ratchet pulled out one of the circuit boards and says, "This is not electrical damage," referring to the circuit with bit marks.
Bulkhead looked at the damage, and thought aloud, "I have seen this before," he started knocking his head with his knuckles.
"Look what I found!" Raf yelled as he entered the chamber.
"Raf, We are in need of your expertise-" Ratchet starts to say as turns to Raf and sees what is in his hands, "Scraplet!" causing Bulkhead and Bumblebee to point their weapons at Raf.
Jack and Miko ran infront of Raf. Jack then shouted, "What are you doing!?" pointing the Doorgun at the three bots.
"S-S-Scraplet!" Bulkhead stuttered.
"The most dangerous vermin on Cybortron," Ratchet informed with fear in his voice.
"What you are scared of something so small?" Jack asked with confusion.
"Yeah, scrappy here doesn't look like he'd hurt a fly," Miko says as 'Scrappy' opens its eyes and looks at the Autobots. It jumps from Raf's hands and lands on it four legs, and opens its mouth to reveal hundreds of teeth moving like a blender. It ran at the three Autobot, who shot at the tiny robot, which avoided every blast as it reached Bumblebee.
The Scraplet, jumped onto Bumblebee's leg and started eating Bee's leg armour plating. Bee managed to grab it but it slipped out of his grasp and start eating his arm and in response Bee waved his arm in panic, flinging the scraplet off his arm, towards the centre of the chamber. It straightens itself up and starts charging at the bots, until Raf smashed down on it with a metal crowbar, repeatedly.
When Raf went to hit it a fifth time Jack grabs the crowbar and says, "I think it has been killed enough," while pointing at the scraplet, which its head has been reshaped to resemble the letter, 'U.'
Raf nodded and ran over to Bee, "Bee I'm sorry I didn't know," he turns to Ratchet and asks, "Is he going to be okay?"
Ratchet examines Bee's injuries and says, "It is merely a mesh wound, it will heal. Though how Scraplets are on earth is another matter. But I believe I know how they got here," as he directs his fellow Autobots and the three humans to follow him. With Krim attached to Jack's waist.
Arctic-Meteor crash site.
Optimus, Arcee and Max Flare arrive at the edge of the crater to see a small pod that appears to be human sized. Optimus steps forward with Max Flare on his shoulder, and lifts the still red hot from atmospheric entry.
Arcee asks, "That doesn't appear to be Cybertronian. Do you recognise it?"
Optimus hums as he looks at the pod and says, "It appears to be Gordonian. They are an organic species, but reptilian. We should keep this pod closed until we return to base," as he carried the pod back towards the rock outcropping.
"Sure thing Optimus," Arcee replied as she followed him.
Autobot Outpost-Cargo Storage hold.
Ratchet was examining the inside of the pod that was formally without the gaping hole in the side. Ratchet was looking inside with his wielder as a torch. Bulkhead and Bumblebee were standing behind the three humans, who each had hold of one of the Drive weapons. Raf holding the now named 'Front Tire Gun' and Miko holding holding the Trailer Gun. Jack holding Handlesword and Doorgun with Krim around his waist. Ratchet then says, "This is how the Scraplets got in. It's a Scraplet trap, probably jettisoned thousands of years ago and crashed in the Arctic, where the below zero temperatures kept them in stasis, until we thawed them out. To which they allowed themselves into our base."
"They can have it. I say we get out of here before they decide to eat us," Bulkhead silently yelled as the group went back to the main chamber.
"We can't. Optimus and Arcee are currently in danger of freezing to death. We need to fix the ground bridge, before we can leave," Ratchet answered and continued, "and even then it would only be a temporary fix, until the Scraplets run out of metal to consume."
"What if we send them back to the Arctic, we know they don't do cold," Jack suggested.
"What if we used Max Flare, they could also be affected by heat," Raf included.
Krim answered, "Earlier I sent Max Flare with Optimus Prime and Arcee, in the event that they couldn't get back as soon as they needed. It should give them another hour, in their current location."
Ratchet looked to the Belt and says, "Then you now have a Prime in your debt and believe me when I say, it's a big deal," Ratchet then turns to the Ground Bridge controls and continues, "Now we need to fix the ground bridge, but If we are all here this room turns into as humans say, an 'all you can eat congregation.'"
"thats 'all you can eat buffet'," Miko replies and then says, "while your fixing the bridge, the rest of us, go bug hunting," as she strokes the Trailer cannon.
"One Human, one Bot, I'll stay here with Ratchet, while the rest of you patrol the base," Jack suggested and then says, "Gramps, think the shift cars can help?"
"I suggest they each take three shift cars. Miko and Bulkhead take, Midnight Shadow, Justice Hunter and Funky Spike, while Raf and Bumblebee take, Dimension Taxi, Dream Vagas and Massive Monster," Krim answered and then continues, "Also Type Wild and Type Technique have been tuned, Miko load Wild into the Trailer cannon, and Raf load Technique into the 'Wheel gun'," he says that with distain, "they will allow you to use the their specific abilities."
"Now that we have a plan, pair off and I will get to work, Krim please send any of your shift cars you can spare to examine the power relays and the fuel systems," Ratchet ordered.
Arctic-Under Rock Outcropping.
Optimus and Arcee were resting under the rock their fire was dying down running out of flammable material to burn. Max Flare was in recharge mode after, using all its Skyroad matter. Arcee has her knees at her chest to stay warm while struggling to stay awake, while Optimus is just sitting and looking to the distance.
"Arcee we need to be staying conscious, to conserve our strength," Optimus ordered.
"I was just resting my eyes," Arcee answered, "After all our battles, I figured I would die in battle, not turning into an ice cube."
"I am sure we will make it back to base before we freeze," Optimus stated.
"I know, it's just that," Arcee says before sighing and continuing, "There is now possibly four of us here who can die due to system error."
"I'm sure it will be a simple fix," Optimus stated.
"Once Ratchet starts to panic, I know," Arcee replied.
Autobot Outpost-Main Hallway.
Miko and Bulkhead are walking along one of the few hallways of the base, with Miko taking point. In her hands is the Trailer Cannon with Type Wild attached to the sight with its headlights on to act as a torch.
Bulkhead has both his arms in blaster mode, with his wrist lights on and the head lights on his chest on. For Miko and Bulkhead, their state of mind is completely different. Miko is excited while Bulkhead looks like he is about fall apart, shaking in terror.
They walk along the hallway, until the lights went out and Bulkhead, screamed like a little girl. Miko was surprised and after she turns to face Bulkhead, she asks, "did you just scream like a little girl?"
"You would to, if you had seen what Scraplets can do," Bulkhead retorted, "They do nothing but eat metal and the favourite is living metal. They eat till there is nothing left, not even your optics," of course at the end of his speech the pipes and cables fall on him and he screams again.
Miko shouts, "Bulk relax, its just the roof."
"Sorry," Bulkhead replies as he pulls off one of the cables, that then fall on him, causing him to look up as Scraplets start to rain on him. He freezes before screaming and shooting the roof.
Miko aimed the Trailer Cannon and opened fire, taking out most of the scraplets with random energy blasts, with Shadow and Spike shoot as well, while Hunter made a wall to slow the scraplets down as Bulkhead jumped over Miko to get away from them.
Autobot Outpost-Substation hallway.
Raf and Bumblebee were walking towards the base generators. Vagas, Taxi and Monster were driving alongside them on the ground. They are steadily walking and driving down the hall towards the bases main generators. Bumblebee then speaks in his math based vocabulary to Raf.
"I know your scared Bee, I am too," Raf answers and receives a responce from Bumblebee, "I don't want to lose you Bee, because your my friend. That is why I am scared."
They continue walking towards the end of the hall where they see the main exhaust vent with a large, by human standards, sized hole. Bumblebee nudged Raf to tell him to look inside. As Raf was about to look inside, Monster turned around and started growling. Raf, Bumblebee and the two other shift cars turn around as they hear Scraplets under a grate. Raf aimed the Wheelgun at the grate as the Scraplets jumped out. Raf and Bee opened fire as Vagas, through playing cards at them. Monster charged them and started ripping into them as Taxi caught them in it's dimensional portal.
Autonot Outpost-Main chamber.
Ratchet is fixing the ground bridge, while Jack, Krim and the rest of the Shift Cars were stationed around the room. Dump, Mixer and Roller were still examining the fuel lines outside the main chamber.
"How is it going Ratchet?" Jack asked as he hears the scraplets, "Because I think they found you."
"I will be able to open the bridge once, but it should stay open for thirty minutes, before I will need to repair it properly," Ratchet answered.
Before Jack could respond the vent grate towards the roof falls to the ground. Jack looks up to the roof and sees a fliying swarm of Scraplets.
"They can fly!?" Jack shouts as he opens fire.
Ratchet looks up and starts to panic. Jack manages to shoot down a few, but the majority manage to swarm Ratchet, he tries to swipe them off, but they force him to the ground. Shift cars then proceeded to slam into the Scraplets, using their abilities or just literally ramming into them. Jack attempted to get the Scraplets off of Ratchet. Ratchet looks behind Jack, points and says, "Fire extinguisher." Jack nods and grabs it and starts to spray the Scraplets.
The Shift cars are then united with the Shift cars that went with Miko and Raf, before Bulkhead, Bumblebee and the two mentioned humans entered the chamber.
"Ratchet, we need a patch kit, were leaking Energon," Bulkhead yells before seeing the Scraplets attacking Ratchet and swarming around the room. Then Scraplets then went for the fresh 'meat'.
Arctic-Under Rock Outcrop.
Arcee and Optimus are lying down on the snow as the chilling winds around them storm.
"If they don't have an adequate excuse for leaving us out here to freeze, I kick them," Arcee complained as she fumed her annoyance.
"If that is the case, then perhaps, the others can handle exploration duty, for the next month," Optimus replies in a daze.
"I'll hold you to that," Arcee responded as Max Flare tiredly beeped its horn.
Autobot Outpost-Main Chamber.
Jack, Miko, Raf and the Shift Cars were struggling to stop the Scraplets, but managed to stop them with the help of Rolling Gravity, which forced the Scraplets to overload their inbuilt thrusters and explode.
The three construction shift cars had returned from finding the source of the Bridge malfunction.
"The error is a leak in the Energon fuel line for the bridge," Krim informed, "Also Dimension Taxi, has stored over a hundred scraplets in it pocket dimension, what do you want to do with them?" as they all hear more Scraplets.
"There's more?" Raf says in shock.
"The swarm that we just face was most likely a scouting party and they now know where we are," Ratchet says as he leans up against the wall next to the Ground Bridge.
"And to top all this we can only open the Ground Bridge, once for half an hour before it will need to be repaired," Jack repeated and then had a epiphany, "which is all we need. Open the bridge to the Arctic and send them through before getting Optimus and Arcee."
"We need to seal the breach first," Ratchet stated.
"Jack and I can seal it, using type Technique," Krim informed, "Miko, Raf stay here and protect the Autobots," and received two nods as the Type Technique drove to Jack, "Now 'Start Your Engine!'"
"Jack say 'Henshin'," Miko shouts.
Jack shrugs as he twists the ignition switch, and flips Type Technique and inserts it into the Shift Brace. Jack then says, "Henshin!"
A transparent green cylinder goes around Jack and attaches green armour, which has silver pistons along the arms, and his helmet appears to have an arm on each side of his head. A wheel with green line along the circumference launched from Tridoron and attached at the top of his shoulders, by going through his body.
"Drive! Type Technique!" Krim shouted then said, "Take the construction shift cars, Fire Braver and the wielder to fix the pipe. I will contact you when we fix the leak, through Type Wild." Jack grabbed the necessary components and followed the construction shift cars, out of the main chamber.
"That form reminds me of a robot," Miko stated.
"Type Technique, gives drive machine based precision, in all things mechanical. It turns him into the ultimate mechanic," Krim answered from the Type Wild Shift Car, he then said, "though I am honestly surprised that he was able to activate Type Technique on the first try, it took a nuclear bomb threat for his father and for him to stay calm under pressure."
"Maybe, it's because lives are at stake," Raf said as he checked on Bumblebee, but clearly referring to all of the Autobots at base and in the Arctic.
Autobot Outpost-Energon main Fuel Line Hallway.
Jack is walking down the hall that the Main Energon fuel line for the base. The floor is covered in Scraplets, and along the wall to his left is the main energon line. For Jack, he sees it differently. He saw the exact number of Scraplets, the angles of the walls and hundreds of calculations for everything he sees.
Jack reaches the leak, and sets up the wielder. Once he gets it setup the wielder he examines the leak and sees its on the curve of the pipe.
"Type Technique's arms will allow you to bend the metal into the right shape," Krim informed.
"Thanks Gramps," Jack says calmly before placing the metal sheet against the pipe to curve it to the right circumference, like it was paper, "I have to say this form is impressive. I wonder if I can use this form for my homework."
Krim chuckled and says, "Only as a last resort," Jack chuckled as well, as he started wielding the plate to the pipe, "Ratchet, repairs complete in one hundred and twenty seconds," Krim informs through the Type Wild shift car.
"We are still in the clear, the Scraplets have not attacked our position yet," Ratchet struggled to say in his weakened state; "I have already set the coordinates for Optimus and Arcees' entry point. All that needs to be done is open the bridge."
"Eta thirty seconds," Jack reads off the display before the Scraplets, activate their thrusters and head to the main chamber, "Scraplets are heading to you!" he then finishes the repairs, "Open the bridge repairs are complete."
Autobot Outpost-Main Chamber.
Ratchet activates limps to the ground Bridge controls, as Bulkhead ask, "Do we bring in ours first or sends the scraplets through?"
Bumblebee beeps to ask, how they can even do that. Bee is currently lying on the floor, barely staying conscious.
"One of us will have to act as bait while the others power down," Ratchet said as he stumbled to his knees, "Opening Ground bridge," as he falls to the floor unconscious as the roof is covered in Scraplets.
Bulkhead gets up from his sitting position and hobbles over the Ground Bridge Portal and shouts, "Right here fresh metal, all you can eat!" to attract the scraplets. When they see him they go straight for him, so he runs through the portal.
"Bulkhead!" Miko shouts.
Arctic-moments before the Ground Bridge opened.
Arcee and Optimus are 'breathing' heavily struggling to stay conscious. The pod had still been hot until a few minutes previously when it finally cooled down, but it did not open, probally due to safety mechanism.
As they were about to give up hope, the ground bridge opens, one hundred metres in front of them. They both struggle to get up, as Optimus lifts the pod, and wobbly step towards the portal. To their surprise they see Bulkhead run through covered in scraplets, fall onto the snow as a torrent of scraplets change their target to Optimus and Arcee. Optimus stepped in front of Arcee as the scraplets flew at them, after droping the pod.
The scraplets didn't get within ten metres as the below zero temperatures, froze them, turning them into chunks of metal, that pelted Optimus and Arcee, like ice in a hail storm, on a metal roof. Behind Bulkhead Dimension Taxi drove through the ground bridge and released the scraplets in its pocket dimension, and they proceeded to freeze as they were sent pointed in a different direction, before spotting Optimus and Arcee.
Bulkhead then looks to his fellow Autobots and says, "I'd invite you in but it is a mess back there."
Autobot Outpost-Main Chamber.
After Bulkhead went through the ground bridge, Jack and the shift cars scanned through the whole base, and found a positive lack of scraplets that were not destroyed, he returned to the main chamber, and used Tridorons and Drive type Technique to help the Autobots with their repairs, which were going smoothly.
Optimus is sitting next to Ratchet, with a blue tube connected to his chest, on the lower wall of the human area, next to the decontaminate cylinder. Bulkhead is sitting on the stone wall across from Ratchet with a blue tube also connected to his chest connected to a computer that Miko is in front of. Bumblebee is resting on Cybertronian medical berth connected to another computer with black cables, with Raf typing on it. Arcee is on another medical berth only, under a blanket with a blue tube going under the blanket, sleeping.
"Miko stabilise Bulkhead's base temperature. Raf report Bumblebee's Energon levels," Ratchet ordered the two humans, before ordering Jack, who is at the terminal next to Optimus, "Jack continue Optimus and Arcee's defrost procedure," were Jack gave a thumbs up.
"Bumblebee's Energon levels are at seventy percent," Raf informed.
"Bulkhead's base temp is twenty degrees from normal," Miko said.
"I see you have started to appreciate our human charges Ratchet," Optimus observed.
"Yes we are fortunate that the scraplet infestation happened on a Saturday," Ratchet replied before saying, "though I believe we should be careful with this second pod you found," while looking at the Gordonian pod, "it may be a trap."
"Ratchet the Gordonian pod we found, crashed within one Kilometre of our location," Optimus replied before a load sound of a fist hitting metal was heard, gaining everyone's attention. "And it appears to be opening," Optimus observed the obvious.
"So an idea who or what is in there?" Drive questioned.
"Gordonians are organic reptilian lifeforms, cold blooded and love war, but they also are able to speak most languages," Ratchet says as Drive steps forward, with Miko and Raf behind him as one final thump was heard as the pods door was launched across the room.
The next thing they see is and orange skinned girl, wearing purple armour, with red hair in a crown and green eyes. The most surprising thing they see are some oversized shackles covering her hands. The girl then shouts, "Koko wa doko?" in a different language.
Raf looks to her and says, "you're on Earth," answering her question.
"You under stood her!?" Miko shouts before Jack covers her mouth with his armoured hand.
"Anata wa Gardonians ni shite imasu ka? Anata ga shite iru baai, watashi was anata o tatakau koto ni narimasu!" the girl shouts while raising her shackled arms.
"No, we-," Raf realises that the girl can't understand him, so he grabs one of Miko's Bobbie pins from her hair and steps over to the alien girl and uses body language to indicate where to move her arms to where he can see the shackles. The alien girl raises an eyebrow but did what he indicated. Raf then looks at the shackles, and finds the key hole and picks the lock. Once he unlocks them, the outer cover comes off, revealing normal sized shackles on her wrists and after examining the second pair of shackles, he lets out a sigh as he can't find a way to remove them, and says, "I'm sorry, I don't know how to remove the second pair," apologising to the girl.
The next thing to happen though surprised everyone as the girl grabbed the front of his shirt and lifted him into the air, showing that the girl is a foot taller than him. As Jack was going to intervene, he was stopped in his tracks by what the girl did next. She brought his face to hers and deeply kissed him, shocking him until he started to enjoy the kiss.
The kiss continued for a full minute then the alien girl released Raf and asks, "Where am I?"
Raf couldn't answer as he was very light headed, so Jack answered, "You are on Earth. Are you a Gordonian?"
The girls green eyes started to glow in anger as she says, "I am not Gordonian, I am Tameranian," as her hands also started to glow green with plasma.
Ratchet hears the outburst, and stands upslowly before yelling, "Jack don't make her angry. When a Tameranian is angry their energy blasts can damage cybertronian armour," from behind the girl.
This of course alerts the girl, who turns around to see Ratchet and her reaction was to faint on top of Raf, who manages to catch her. Miko's comment on this was to ask Jack, "How long should we wait before teasing Raf?" looking at Raf who was still dazed.
Jack looks to Miko then at Raf, "I don't think we should, because in this case, he just one upped Vince."
Miko laughed at this and agreed with Jack. Jack stepped over to Raf, who is holding the girl in his arms on the floor, and says, "Miko grab one of those medical beds that was left behind when the government gave this base to the bots, for our guest. Raf think you can talk to her when she wakes up?" and received two nods. Jack walked back to the Autobots and continued to aid the bots in their repairs. Miko went into the storage room next to the human area and brought out a bed, where Raf lifted the girl onto it, showing a surprising level of strength to Miko.
Miko then grabbed Raf's arm and says, "you lifted her like she weighed nothing," while squeezing his arm.
"Not really, she is very light," Raf commented as he waved Miko's hand away and put a blanket over the girl.
"Tameranians are another alien species, but while humans evolved from primates, Tameranians evolved from a feline species and to top it off their abilities change with their emotions," Ratchet informed as he sat back down.
"So when she is angry?" Raf questioned.
"Depending on how much energy they have, they can flatten mountains in a fit of rage," Ratchet answered.
"Then why was she in a Gordonian pod?" Miko questions remembering what Optimus and Ratchet said, while looking at the second pod.
Her question would be put on hold as Fowler arrived via the elevator, and yells, "Prime, I have been trying to contact you for the last hour!" before seeing the condition of the bots, "Okay, I guess you all had a reason."
Miko decided to answer for the bots, "Last night Bulk and Bee found a Cybertronian escape pod in the Arctic that was filled with scraplets that eat metal. Before they were discovered Optimus and Arcee went to find clues on the pod, but ended up stuck in the Arctic, because the scraplets damaged the Ground Bridge. We had to handle an infestation and save Bossbot and Arcee at the same time, we used some of Krims toys to defend the Bots, while Docbot fix the Ground Bridge. Once Jack fixed the fuel line, Bulk lured the scraplets through the bridge to the Arctic, before bring Optimus, Arcee and this Tameranian back," while directing Fowler's attention to Jack, Bulkhead and then the alien girl, "though she fainted when she saw Ratchet."
Fowler sat down on the couch, placed the folder in his hands on the table, sighed and put his face in his hands before saying, "It is one of those days, where everything just has to happen at the same time."
Optimus looked over the railing and asks, "What has happened that required our assistance."
Fowler picked up the file and spoke, "Earlier today the Hubble Telescope, spotted a strange craft on a set course to Earth following whatever decided to leave," showing them pictures of a large craft that was designed like the pod next to them, "An hour later they came in contact with the Decepticon Warship, and they destroyed it," he then showed images of the two crafts fighting, "The Decepticons won, as the other ship hit orbit, it fell apart over the Pacific, some sections did crash-land in the Nevada desert, where having them delivered here for study."
Raf grabbed the image of the new craft and showed it to Optimus. Optimus squinted as he examined the new craft and said, "Agent Fowler, the craft is a Gordonian supply craft, if your government feels threatened, please assure them that is not in danger, as the Gordonians will not attack as their culture do not believe in revenge, and they will assume that the craft is simply lost with all hands. And if they decide to make the extended journey from their world to Earth, they will simply demand a slave from the major cultures of Earth and they would never invade again."
"Wait, what would that mean in the long run?" Fowler shouted.
"After they attack some of the major cities of Earth, they would leave a communication system with each world leader, with the instructions to call them in the event that one of their enemies attempt to invade, though those chosen to become slaves by your people, will suffer until the day they die, but they will never attack earth again," Optimus informed.
"And if they attack and we beat them?" Fowler asked.
Optimus looked to Fowler and answers, "To win you would need to defeat, one Battle ship and ten cruisers, but their battleships will take one hundred earth years to arrive in your solar system once they notice your world."
"Prime, have they noticed Earth?" Fowler questioned.
"If the craft managed to contact their home world, the message would take ten earth years, but they will think the world is under the domain of the Decepticons and will not attack," Optimus managed to calm down Agent Fowler.
"Is that why the she was in that pod, because she was a slave?" Raf questioned as the girl started to wake up.
"Yes, I was a slave until the cryogenic stasis pod failed and fought my way to an escape pod, and I do not wish to return," the Tameranian girl said.
Miko grabbed the rest of the images in the file, and says, "Well, we couldn't even if we wanted too," showing the girl images of the Gordonians destruction, "Because they probably think your dead."
The girl took the images and a lone tear rolled down her cheek. Raf stepped forward and asks, "You seem saddened by this?"
She breaks the second pair of cuffs, hugs Raf, and they both flew in the air, which shocks everyone, as she laughed, "They are not the tears of sadness, they are the tears of joy!"
Jack then looks to Ratchet and asks, "Let me guess, happiness causes flight," to which Ratchet nods.
Fowler also turns to Ratchet and asks, "What should I tell my bosses in the Government of the girl?"
"It will probably be for the best if she stays in our protection, as she has most likely have been used by Gordonians as a power supply," Ratchet stated and Fowler nodded.
Fowlers phone went off and he stepped away to answer as Jack walked back to the human area. Once he got there he un-henshined himself and went to the fridge, and grabbed a cold burger, that he put in the microwave to heat up, with his stomach grumbling in hunger. He then asks Krim, "is it going to be like this after I transfom into Drive, every time?"
"Yes, in time your body will adapt and you will need less energy to use Drive's power," Krim answered as the microwave finish heating the burger.
Raf and the alien girl landed, leaving Raf dizzy as they had been spinning. The girl smells the burger and licks her lips as she sees the burger in Jacks hands and she starts to drool.
Jack sees this and asks, "Are you hungry," and offered the burger.
The girl shakes her head and says, "I cannot, it is your meal," of course her stomach betrays her when it grumbles load enough to hurt everyone's ears.
Jack sighs and says, "Eat it, I'll make myself another," as he puts it in her hands, then asks, "Do your people eat meat?" to which she nods.
"I give you thanks, for the meal," she thanks him as she takes a bite, and with a look a pleasure on her face from the taste she floats in the air as she eats, as Jack makes himself another burger.
Raf then walks towards the girl, gulps and speaks, "We haven't been introduced, I'm Raf," he motions to Miko, Jack and Krim, and introduces them as well.
The girl looks to Raf, lands and introduces herself, "Greeting friend Raf. My name is Koriandr, in your language my name translates to Starfire."
Fowler stands up and greets Starfire, "I am Special Agent Fowler, on behalf of the government of the United States of America I welcome you to Earth."
Starfire bows and says, "I give you thanks for the greeting of warmth."
Miko then jumps forward and says, "I have like a million question I want to ask, but I need to know why you kissed Raf?" causing Raf to blush.
Starfire was confused for a moment before realising what Miko meant and answered, "My people are able to exchange information with contact of the lips, that is how I learnt your language," In the back ground, we see Bumblebee sit up, beeps a message and starts to laugh. Starfire turns around and says, "So this, 'kiss', you speak of, is what it is called on this planet and it is a sign of courtship," causing Bee to freeze, and look at her in shock. Of course she sees Bee and realises, who she is talking too, and faints again, but before she hits the floor, Raf catches her.
"Okay maybe we should ease her into the large transforming Robots," Miko comments before saying aloud, "Though the fact that Raf understood her before the, 'contact of the lips'," quoting Starfire.
Krim then speaks, "I had Type Technique scan Raf. His DNA has the genetic markers that have been known to relate to enhanced abilities, and in Raf's case, he is able to learn in an accelerated rate. A few words are enough for him to understand the language just not speak it. This is commonly referred to as a sixth sense."
Raf lifted Starfire and puts her back on the bed, before he asks, "Is it a comment occurrence, these genetic markers?"
"No, but they are hereditary or just random, and can be affected by an outside source," Krim answered.
"Like meeting the Bots," Jack muttered.
Fowler came back, and says, "The Techs are outside with the ship fragment we found and what appears to be an alien crate, with some tech that appears familiar," he says with a smirk, as a truck with a large piece of the destroyed ship, and a large Cybertronian crate.
Ratchet gets up and goes straight to the crate, and carefully opens the crate, and after seeing its contents he sniffles.
Optimus asks, "What is it old friend?"
Ratchet pulls out what appears to be an oversized telescope, "the answer to all the tools Bulkhead broke. This crate is full, of Cybertronian scientific and medical tools," he then reads the note on the side and grumbles, "hopefully this time I won't have to fix them immediately," while looking to the other Autobots. Ratchet then looks at the ship fragment, and says, "This is a memory core that appears to be undamaged, once I have the bases computer systems working and can retrieve the data, and forward any data your government will want."
"I'll tell the suits back at base," Fowler says as he heads to the elevator, "I will be back in a couple days, and most likely with an official that will interview Starfire, and I'll bring the documents needed to make her an American citizen," as the elevator's doors open.
"Thank you Agent Fowler," Raf spoke up.
"Don't thank me kid. Just make sure she doesn't go on a rampage," Fowler replied as the elevator closed.
Harbinger-Decepticon Warships bridge-nighttime
Starscream (1) was standing at the front of the bridge looking out front wind shield, hand behind his back, with a smug smirk. Behind him is Soundwave (1) standing behind him, with readouts on his face on the Gordonian cargo ship. Starscream turns to Soundwave and says, "Soundwave, clearly you do not understand. Earth is ours to take and I am not letting another alien species to take what is rightfully mine. I mean the Decepticons'." Starscream corrected himself. Soundwave cleared the information off his faceplate and replaced it with a map of Earth, with crash sites of the crafts wreckage. Starscream, responds, "The humans are too unevolved enough to know what to do with wreckage, but keep an eye out for large quantities being moved around," receiving a nod from Soundwave before he left Starscream to his Megatron impersonation.
Secret underground bunker-unknown location.
In a dark room illuminated with a large screen with three individuals observing, images of the crafts wreckage's crash sites, a world map with many red dots, a map of a pentagonal city, with the words 'Element city' and a glowing blue spinning crystal.
The three individuals are all different. The first is wearing a green military bodysuit with black utility belt, and appears to be old, with grey hair and face covered in scars. The second is a young man wearing white sunglasses with circuit pattern on one lens, a monochromatic grey trench coat, a metal backpack and holding a rust coloured laptop. The last was a man with snow white hair, wearing a white trench coat, with blue snowflakes.
"De nouvelles Variables, I suggest collecting these items for all our benefits," the young man with the laptop said as he examines the data on screen.
"I will send some Roidmudes, to collect some of the wreckage, we do not want to reveal ourselves," the snowflake wearing man said.
"Enter (11), Frost (12) we do not wish to reveal ourselves yet, ensure that you are not seen," the third man speaks, "and don't forget our deal."
"Oui Oui, all I have to do is install the data to the Roidmude systems, and they will be able to use the 'Burglars' at the cost of some of their energy, which is a fare trade," the man known as Enter informs.
"And the more powerful the Roidmude the more they can make, and they will be immune to our Gravity Surges," Frost states
"And I get aid in taking the the Enertron from Element City and the Gravity Surge Data, for his Majesty," Enter adds as he accesses the Roidmude's network. Installing the Data he promised, the effect was instant, as Frost released a Gravity Surge for a moment and created twenty 'Burglars'. (13)
"A new world is coming, and we shall be its rulers," the First man finishes.
