(Hey Everyone, how's it been? Anyone ready to return to school no matter if it's highschool, Middle school, or even College? I know I'm not ready yet. but I'll do what I can.

I spoke with the Author of "Transformers RWBY: The Flames of Redemption" RyuJudge6614 and gave me consent to write what is going on with the other two members of Team RWBY's very own Blake Belladonna and Weiss Schnee after the fall of Beacon due to well... you know who. And no I don't mean Lord Voldemort.

Here is the first chaper of The Light of Hope with someone both RyuJudge and myself are a huge fan of. The one! The only! ...PREEEEEDDDDDDDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGG!

Yeah he and one other are going to be arriving in Remnant just like the other two former Cybertronians that RyuJudge6614 had added to his story, not for redemption, but for the hope of something that they pray to happen.

Disclaimer: I do not own anything that have to do with Transformers: Prime and RWBY they are the properties of their respective owners.

Now let's Read, Review, and Enjoy.)

Predaking awoken on an island as he clearly remembered that he, Darksteel, and Skylynx where in the middle of chasing Starscream for the seeker's previous mistreatment of the three Predacons when… nothing…

He shook his head, placing his claw on his helm, only to find… there is no helm! He used his claws more and felt fibers sprouting from his helm like the organic creatures that the Autobots employ in their tasks against the vile betrayer, Megatron. The shock of feeling these things with his hands caused the Predacon to fall on his back in shock.

Predaking continued to crawl until he found water to use as a means to see his own reflection. He saw that he was not made entirely made out of metal like he was before reawakening on this world similar to Earth. His body had become something similar to the humans, made out of organic flesh instead of metal.

"What devilry is this?!" Predaking asked, aloud, unable to believe that he had become similar to the humans of Earth.

He looked more into his reflection and saw his hair was styled to be slicked back at the front of his head which made the hair on his back to become spike, the same brown color as his armor, which became a suit of armor rather than his being. Two pieces of cloth were hanging through the back of his armor shaped after his wings when he entered into beast mode. The cloth underneath seemed to be kimono folded to give him the feel of proper form with his clothing.

He saw that his metal claws were now organic claws. The horns he had in his bipedal form were there as well, one sticking out from the crown of his forehead while two other horns ridged against the central horn and seemed to follow his hair style to have the points stick upwards. The clothing and armor was similar to that of the armor he had before he had awoken in this strange world. On the chest plate of his armor was the Predacon crest. His eyes were white with yellow & crimson colored irises. Looking down at himself he finds his legs, covered in the same grey as his top shirt, had the armor colors of red, brown, yellow, and gold colors. His feet had greaves that represented something similar to his beast mode's claws.

"Predaking."

The Predacon king looked around, looking for the source of the voice, his fangs bared, "Who is there?!"

"Predaking."

He continued to look around before he ordered, "Show yourself!"

"Predaking."

Predaking looked down to the water and found his reflection was replaced by that of the Prime that had stood in Megatron's way, Optimus Prime. The last time Predaking saw the Prime was when he and his fellow Predacons were flying back to the surface in order to gain their vengeance against Starscream for harming them. And saw the Prime standing there with Megatron near the Well of Allsparks. However, Starscream had flown away after Megatron left the planet so the three followed the seeker to settle scores.

"You? But how?" Predaking asked, looking into the reflection.

Optimus looked back and explained, "To prevail in the last battle against the Chaos Bringer, Unicron, I had to do something to keep him from poisoning the Well and destroying Cybertron. In order to protect the Allspark and secure Unicron's defeat it was necessary for me to empty the vessel's contents within the Matrix of Leadership that resided in my chest."

"Unicron?" Predaking asked, before remembering the demon that had used Megatron as a puppet, "How were you able reclaim victory over such an evil entity as that demon?"

"As a being comprised of pure energy, Unicron's Anti-spark was vulnerable to this reliquary of the Primes which previously housed the Allspark within it." Optimus explained, keeping his composure.

Predaking shook his head as he spoke, "But then why are you here like this instead of within your body back on Cybertron?"

Optimus seemed saddened to tell the story of his death to the Predacon, "Due to the Matrix of Leadership being in close proximity to my own spark, it can no longer be separated from the multitude of others within me. To not return the Allspark to the Well would be to prevent future generations of new life from existing on Cybertron."

Predaking was shocked to hear that the prime had sacrificed himself to save Cybertron's future, but then countered, "But what if the future generations you profess that will come from would be of my mighty race of Predacons?"

"Then they would be welcomed with open arms into rebuilding our homeworld to become what it was meant to be." Optimus answered, causing Predaking to become even more surprise by the Prime's words. Was a Prime truly a being of honor to allow the future generations of Predacons to be allowed to live alongside the other races of Cybertron?

Predaking looked to the reflection of the Prime and asked, "You would truly allow my future brethren to live alongside with your own kind?"

"I will see to it that any new born Predacons are treated with respect. If you help me with a task." Optimus stated, looking at the Predacon. Looking down in thought, if the King of the Predacons did this task for the prime then… the Predacon race could flourish once again, without the aid of Shockwave's science.

Looking back to the Prime the Predacon stated, "Then by my name as king of the Predacons. I will do this task for you."

Optimus smiled at gaining the Predacon's support as he explained, "Currently you are on a world much like that of Earth. Much like Earth, this world of Remnant is filled with life. There is a human species on this planet and also one that you would feel a kinship to."

Predaking raised a brow at that, he highly doubted there is a species that one such as he would feel any relation to other than his fellow Predacons. However, Predaking gave his word to the Prime that he would follow his lead and do this task for him, and a king always keeps his word.

"They are known as the Faunus. A humanoid species that have animal like traits to them that made them shun by human society." Optimus told him.

This made the Predacon deduce and asked, angrily, "And you had your accursed Prime magic turned me into this hated species? For what reason?"

Optimus merely said, calmly, "Patience Predaking, you will know after I explain your assignment."

With the willpower he had, Predaking remained silent, allowing Optimus to continue, "This planet is under attack by creatures known to the inhabitance as the creatures of Grimm. They are soulless creatures that hunt down mankind and the Faunus and destroy them all and all they made. They would destroy the very core of this planet if they were given the opportunity."

"Then they are similar to the Undead remains of my deceased mighty ancestors that accursed demon used for his horde against Cybertron? Mindless abominations that would destroy all that they touch." Predaking theorized, earning a nod from the prime in his reflection.

"There is someone who is destined to save Remnant from them and their wanton destruction. They carry a special trait in them that will allow her to stop the Grimm and save her people." Optimus spoke, "She and the rest of her people are divided into four kingdoms throughout this planet, allowing them to have some aspects of a safe and secure life to not worry too much about the Grimm. To ensure the future of her people, they have academies to assist in their means to protect their loved ones as Huntsmen, using the power of Aura and Semblance which originates from their souls. They also have a power source that they have called Dust, which takes the form of crystals of the many different elements that is present within their world and use it depending on this properties." Optimus explained.

This confused Predaking, "If they are clearly advanced enough to make weapons to dispatch those soulless beasts then why would this silver-eyed savior need my need?"

"That's due to the fact that one of the academies charged with training these warriors has fallen and their people have become divided in the worse possible manner of the word. So much so that the kingdoms have begun to take actions that are counterproductive." Optimus explained, clearing the confusion for the Predacon.

Predaking crossed his arms, "So do I begin my tracking for this silver-eyed savior?"

"Not exactly." Optimus stated, bringing confusion back to beast-former, "It's one of her companions you are in need of your aid."

"Companions?" Predaking repeated, still confused.

"Just because she is destined of saving the world, doesn't mean that she had to do it alone." Optimus said, "But the fall of her academy, Beacon, has made her and her companions divided."

Predaking narrowed his eyes, feeling insulted, but he gave his word, and for the Prime's sake he better keep his own word to be there for the future Predacons that would emerge from the Well of Allsparks, "Very well. Where is this companion that I am to aid?"

"Continue your path forward until you reach the sea faring port. There is where you will find her as she plans to go on a sea vessel."

"How will I know she is the one?" Predaking askes, getting up to begin his journey.

Optimus smiled, "She is the only member of the team that is a Faunus, covering her identity with a bowtie over her ears."

Predaking nodded and walked forward. He was still having doubts about the Prime keeping his word, but he will show him that the Predaking will always keep his word. The trek was long but he was able to find the city no problem as the sun began to rise. Judging by how he had awoken in this world during the bright hours of the day, he must have walked for nearly half of a day without needing to feed or rest.

As he approached the sea town the people, mostly the humans, stared in wide-eyed surprise by the style of his horns and the claws he had instead of hands. He assume it was due to his height as he kept walking though they were close to reaching his shoulders.

Looking at the ship that was most like going to contain his charge, he began to approach it but found the guards stopping him, telling him to have his lien ready if he wanted a ticket. Predaking blinked as he glanced and saw that the Faunus at the front of the line had small rectangular shaped items before passing it to the human behind the desk who swiped it and handed it and a ticket back.

Predaking narrowed his eyes, clenching his claws as he knew what he needed to do, even if it should be beneath a king to do it, but for the future of the Predacons, he… must… find… a job!

Blake approached the town, deciding to head to the one place she needed to think things through clearly. Menagerie, her home, and the island was "handed" to the Faunus after the Faunus Rights Revolution. As she walked a building scheduled to be demolished, she heard a lot of the human workers grumbling and complaining about something. She would've continued on her way to the docks when she heard something about a Faunus.

Approaching, she asked, "Excuse me? But what's going on?"

The foreman, who wasn't arguing told her, "They're just mad because the boss chose someone else to do. Some kind of lizard Faunus with claws and large horns."

Blake was shocked by that, usually a Faunus had only one animal trait, not two, she stuck around as she saw a shadow inside the building rear back his arm and with a mighty yell slammed his fist into one of the walls. The some more impacts and by the sounds of it, cutting, and the condemned building fell down around him. Everything was quiet before some of the rubble rose and the faunus forced his way out, giving everyone a good sight of him. Up close to six feet five inchest tall, large spikes on his armor, pale complexion, dark oak colored horns on his head mirroring the style of his hair, one horn the same color sticking straight out from his forehead. Powerful reptilian forearms attached to large claws that are in place of finger tips. His yellowish amber eyes seemed to be glowing like fire as he stretched his neck and got the dirt off him as he approached the manager.

"Your building has been demolished. As promised." The unusual faunus said, a tone of incredible formal in his voice where he walked over to the foreman, asking, standing taller than the human, "Is this all you require for me to do?"

"Y-yes, thank you." The Manager said, pulling out the promised Lien and asked, "What did you say your name was again?"

"I am Predaking from across the great seas." The Faunus stated, slipping the Lien into a secure place in his robes. Blake thought the name was usual as was his armor. The symbol on the front of his armor resembled the face of a dragon, different than the one that attacked Beacon.

"His name's Faunus freak, and that's our money!" One of the workers shouted, his fellow workers agreed as they began shouting about the arrangement the foreman had with the strange faunus. Blake saw the reptilian faunus turn his eyes on the humans, his eyes seemed to be literally burning with anger at their insulting words.

"Go back to whatever cave you crawled out of!" One shouted, approaching with a large mallet like hammer in hand.

Their Manager however got between him and the mob and said, "That's enough, leave 'im alone! You guys can clean up."

"We're not working for an animal lover." One of the workers shot back.

Predaking looked over at the men and narrowed his eyes, "Is there a problem gentlemen?"

"It's nothing, they just wanted to demolish the building." The Manager said, before seeing one of the workers turned his dump truck on and attempted to drive over both the Faunus and his former boss.

Before Blake could react the Faunus moved the manager out of the way and slammed his fist into the truck's hood, causing it to bounce from the impact and steam to issue from the engine.

Everyone, especially Blake were surprised by the amount of physical strength this strange faunus had in him. Blake had to suspect that he must have a very powerful aura to not have been pushed back and held his ground.

Predaking snorted, smoke issuing from his nostrils as he stated, "I would recommend you not to do that again."

The human that fell out of his truck gulped and ran, "Yes sir!"

Turning to the surprised workers, Predaking asked, "Would any of you wish to take the challenge?"

He flexed his claws in good measure before they ran for it. Once they left, Blake saw him calm down and muttered, "Human pride… their own worst enemy."

He turned and saw the manager approaching, "Thank you for saving my life, but I have to ask you something I hate to say."

"It is understandable, your kind fears mine and would hunt you for assisting me. I will remove myself from your premises at once." The mysterious Predaking told the man as he pulled out his Lien and stated, looking at them, "Besides, I believe I might have what I need to reach the island where more of my kind are said to be."

"All the same, be careful." The manager advised, which Predaking nodded and began making his way to the docks.

Blake began to follow him, feeling like those guys from before weren't done with their means of payback against this strange Faunus. So she began following him, not making a sound as she went.

Predaking continued his course to the docks, looking at the cards in his hand. He thought it was a strange form of currency, looking at the back of one of them and found a black stripe along the length of it, which must be where the transaction takes place. How much do each of these pieces of plastic contain based on their different colors. Now that he thought about it Predaking never knew what the Cybertronians used for trading before the war between the Decepticons and Autobots took place. All that time he was focused to the resurrection of the Predacon species which were murdered-

Predaking stopped, surprised by the feeling that his kind were murdered during the Great Cataclysm instead of extinct. He tried to figure out as to why he would think and feel that way.

"Hey freak!"

Predaking was pulled away from his thoughts by the rude voice and turned to see the construction workers from earlier that day. Who now have even more deadlier weapons than the hammers and other tools used for their profession.

"That's OUR money, we're not gonna let some cheating, thieving, animal like you take what's ours!" The leader of the mob shouted, pointing his axe at the Faunus.

Predaking continued to glare, slipping the Lien into his robe, "Your lack of common sense and intellect truly astonish me."

Turning to face them fully, he continued, "You would stoop to betray your personal views to act as you would portray me to retrieve what you failed to accomplish yourselves."

That made the mob either mad or thinking about their actions, the leader looked back and snapped, "Are you guys idiots?! He's sayin' all these things to keep us from getting what's ours! The next time we'll see him is when the White Fang show up!"

That name caught the Predacon's attention. Was that a person's name or was it a faction of some kind. He wasn't sure about it, but something about that name made the human mob attack him with anger and fear. Predaking jumped backwards, needing to think of a strategy now that he's in a world where killing these fools would be counter-productive in his quest.

"Very well. I will accept your challenge, but know you brought this on yourself." Predaking told them, flexing his claws. Blake stood back to see how he does against the angry mob of construction workers.

Predaking let out a roar as he charged in to his enemies. One tried to get him with a bat which broke against Predaking's claws. He kept fighting, his physical prowess and sharp claws making it close to impossible for them to get him. While he was focused on the enemies in front of him he was left blind by one of the men, holding a rifle, and aimed it at his head.

Blake saw what was about to happen, even if he was strong to stop a large vehicle like that truck, Blake wasn't certain that he learned to hold off against all those men and someone about to shoot him from behind.

He fired, and a fiery explosion occurred behind the Faunus. The impact didn't do that much damage to him, only his aura, the impact merely caused Predaking to mentally ask, 'What was that?'

He then remembered what the Prime said about the element that the natives called "Dust" and its many uses. He turned his head in the direction of where he heard the round being fired from. Glaring up at his would-be assassin.

The gunman was surprised by this but kept firing. Predaking's aura kept taking the full blunt of the explosions, but like before when he had to fight against his former enemies, his armor was just as strong despite his shrinking in size. Once he reached where the gunman was he pulled back and forced his claws into the building causing a shaking that made the human fall in the awaiting arm of the angry dragon.

He then growled, "You should know better than to use fire against a dragon."

He then tossed him into a group of the angry mob as he bared his fangs, "Do any of you wish to continue this pointless endeavor?"

The humans there were now terrified as they saw coming out of his mouth as he spoke those last words.

One of the men in the back spoke into his scroll, seeing that the Dragon Faunus was focused on them, "Do it now! Drop 'em!"

Blake heard the mechanical sounds and saw a crane being used to move a load of metal beams over to be directly on above the large Faunus. She didn't know what to do, but she couldn't let those humans kill him just because he did the job better than them.

Drawing Gambol Shroud, she threw it to hit one of the high corners of a building and used the ribbon on the end of her weapon to swing over and pull the stunned large Faunus out of the way before the metal beams fell on him.

Predaking was shocked by the fact that this female had saved him, or that he didn't suspect the humans to try and kill him once his Aura had been weakened enough to stop those metal beams.

Once they landed the girl with the bow pulled on the string and her weapon shot to her hand, which she caught. Predaking looked back to her and said, "You… saved me."

"You can thank me later. Let's go." She said grabbing his arm and pulling him away from the fight. Just as the sheriff of the village came over.

When they got far enough away, Predaking looked to the girl with the bow on her head and asked, "Why did you pull me before I could finish the fight? Now they will come with bigger numbers."

"It's better than getting in trouble with the village sheriff and he chose their side." Blake told them, which angered the Predacon even more, but he owed this female human his life.

"Despite our difference of opinion, you saved me and I owe you my life." Predaking told her, bowing his head in gratitude, his claw over his chest.

Blake was taken aback by the humility in his tone of voice as well as how he was making a spectacle of this, trying to make him go away, she said, turning her back on him, "It's fine, just forget it."

"I am afraid I cannot. You saved my life and by my honor I will return the favor at a later time. As such I will not leave your side until the debt is repaid in full." He told her, following her.

She tried to walk away from him, but he kept following her as she muttered, "It's safer for you to stay away from me…"

Predaking rose a brow at this, stating, while continue his following of her, "That phrase is incorrect for I would not be here to speak to you of this subject had it not been for you saving me from those cowards."

Blake was about to retaliate against that, but she sighed in defeat, "Fine… do what you want…"

"Wait." Predaking called after her, making her stop as he requested, "May I know of your identy?"

Blake sighed before conceding, and told him, "My name's Blake, Blake Belladonna."

Both of them walked to the docks and got in line to receive passes to get on the boat. When it was Predaking's turn he held out his hand which was filled with Lien and was having trouble finding out which would he enough. With a sigh Blake had to turn back take one of the Lien and gave it to the receptionist who swiped it and produced the boarding pass for the dragon Faunus to take and walk after her.

He exhaled as he walked up the gangplank that allowed the passengers to get onboard the wooden vessel. Predaking began to feel a sensation in his stomach while walking with her. Was it shame? He growled at the thought while it seems that his body is instinctively trying to avoid the water. Predaking and Blake were shown to their cabins, which was conveniently close to each other. She hurried and entered her new cabin, locking the door afterwards. At first Predaking had trouble entering because of his large bulk, but he managed as he entered and looked around. There was a chair, a desk, something that resembled a berth on the warship, and a strange chair that was enough for three or four people, and table near it. He went and pressed into the berth, and found his finger sinking into it, not because he poked a hole in it, but seemed to be designed to be. He went and sit on it, feeling himself sink into it a bit before standing up surprise.

'Must be to accommodate the humans with their soft skin.' He sat and began to think of what he had learned since arriving in this world. About the kinds of lives the humans and Faunus have to do to keep make a living for them. Of the discrimination that the Faunus faced. About how to choose your battles so you are not the one being taken away for something you did not commit, and how to use the currency in this world. And the kinds of things that humans use within a form of residence.

He also learned the usefulness of Dust in battle that the Prime told him about. Feeling that would be uncomfortable if he wore his armor to bed the Predacon began to reach for a means to remove his armor before finally getting it and puts it to the side. He removed the robe top to sleep with his pants on while draping his robe on the chair to sleep after two solar cycles (Days) of no sleep and means to regain his strength. Laying down on the strange furniture and allowed sleep to take him. There was something that lingered in his mind as sleep threatened his mind… something about the Blake's scent, something that resembled… a feline?

And then sleep took the Predacon King.

(So what'd you think? did it make you laugh? Did it make you cry? Were you awe inspired by what Predaking was able to handle with the great amount of will power and Aura he had in him before he crashed (figuratively) on his new bed to sleep off his forty-eight hours of consciousness of walking, working, and fighting against Human supremacists?

The Next chapter of this story will reveal who the last bot that Optimus will have help protect the final member of Team RWBY Weiss Schnee, Beacon's very own Ice Queen.

"Hey!" Weiss shouted from far behind the author.

See you all in the next chapter of The Light of Hope.)
