Again, I like to thank everyone who reviewed the story

Again, I like to thank everyone who reviewed the story. You all make me feel motivated to do the story, so thanks! And I like to apologize for the extremely long update, but I laze around and I had a bit of a writer's block.

Now this chapter won't have much talking in it, just mostly Ratchet notes on the Phantom twins at the beginning, and updates of what was going on. But later there will be talking in it, so don't worry.

Now on to the story.

Hello and Welcome Prank

Ratchet had a bad feeling settling deep within his fuel tanks. Many things had happened since they got Alex back from the claws of the Decepticons, or more specifically Starscream. Alex found herself having very human like cramping in her lower abdominal area, and one scan showed that her body is making a Cybortranian version of a transorganic female reproduction. After she had been informed she became mortified. Both of the Fentons were experiencing extreme soreness all over their body and found that Alex's lightly (and Ratchet meant lightly) armored protoform body was converting from metal to organic metal. Her joints, which were giving her the most amount of pain, were changing to become almost as flexible as a gymnastic human. So she can flex her body that would make any normal Cybortranian transformers to cringe. And she was also growing and was getting taller than Jazz, to his dismay and the rest of the Autobots' amusement (Sideswipe and Sunstreaker couldn't resist in taking a teasing to his apparent shortness). She was estimated to stop growing at around twenty feet, even taller than Bumblebee by a shy of two feet. Her purple armor is not doing anything because it wasn't apart of her normally so it stays metal, but she would have to wait until her body finishes going through the physiological transformation before she can scan for her own alt form, if it would be possible, but he had a strong feeling that it will be. Ratchet does know that she was forced spark bonded by Starscream and, with a small relief, her spark has not split to form a spark of a sparkling.

Yet.

Ratchet was figuratively holding his breath that just because her body making the female reproductive organ would not mean that she would still have his sparkling.

Danny was also changing, but in an opposite way than his twin sister. While Alex was changing from metal to organic metal, he was changing from organic to organic metal. Danny was growing from 5'4" at nearly 16 years of age, to 5'5" in two months and still growing and his looks became a little older than 17. Ratchet estimated that Danny will stop growing at 6'3" to 6'5". His roundness of the face that makes him look young, already thin enough from him fighting from ghost for more than a year, was completely gone. His IQ, already high from the smart genes of both of his parents, skyrocketed to college level. Ratchet, as an unofficial guardian of both of them, had Danny (and his sister) study their work accordingly their age and grade of the Earth rule and found that both he and Alex now excel at every subject(to his and their surprise), although Danny excelled at literature less than Alex, but still better than most humans can do.

Danny was becoming a transformer, and to Wheeljack's and Ratchet's knowledge, the smallest ever (Danny was not particularly happy at that news), other than cassettecons and drones, but Danny was neither. And to everyone within hearing range of the Yellow Brooding Daffodil, humans including the Lennox family, Mikaela, Sam, Maggie, Epps, and Glen, all laughed uproariously when he called Danny (Bumblebee had a kick out of this, being a minibot himself) a microbot.

Danny argued with such vigor not to call him a microbot.

Alex, being an ever helpful twin sister she is, decided to call him a minicon. (1) Danny relented and said that if he had to choose the lesser of the two evils, he would rather be called and minicon than a microbot. And since he did not need a cassette host like Blaster or Soundwave, the title minicon was agreed as official term for Danny from Optimus and Ratchet. Danny became, so far in Cybortron's history, the only minicon in existence.

Ratchet and Wheeljack both found that it was the Ectoplasm and the Allspark energy fault for the transformation at both counts. The Ectoplasm remembers their unique human genetic make-up and it stubbornly clings to it even as it mixes with the nearly endless supply of the Allspark energy. And the Allspark energy also stubbornly clings to the Cybortranian Transformer build, so both of the energy blends together to make an organic Transformer. Even though energon runs through their lines, they could also eat organic food that would normally be a bad idea for a normal Transformer to intake, because the fuel tank cannot convert organic food into energy like a organic stomach can, and while energon would burn and melt the mouth of a human before they can eat it, Ratchet had a strong feeling that they both can intake energon. He had yet to test that theory, but it would be very interesting to see them drink energon for the first time. The Allspark energy was also making them both smarter (though not necessarily wiser) and they both soak up science and math like water in a dry sponge.

They were both ecstatic to find that they both can connect to the World Wide Web, or what the humans more commonly called the internet, and they spent their Med Bay arrest time surfing the net on their favorite subject. Danny spent his time surfing, storing and learning information about the space, stars, NASA, theories, right down to the names of every important and not-so-important people that was involved the studies of space. Alex spent her time doing the same in mechanics of every machines built in this dimension, learning new theories of several mechanics so she can invent new things, and looking at every cars and jet available for her to scan in the future. Right now, she was unsure of what she wants, but she promised to tell Ratchet if she did ever find what she wants. So far she got interested in mechanic build of the Blue Angle jet, and her mind started working for some alternation she could make with it.

But these discoveries are not what was worrying Ratchet the most, aside with the possibility of Alex having Starscream's sparkling. What was making his fuel tank churn uncomfortably is that both sets of twins are far too quiet since the arrival of their own twin terrors a week ago, Sideswipe and Sunstreaker.

'Just what are they up to?' Ratchet thought, his fuel tanks still uncomfortably churning.

00000000000000000000000000000000000000

"You four are absolutely the most mischievous beings I have ever seen."The Allspark's voice rang with amusement in both of the Fentons head. Ever since living in the first sentient beings for a month and a half for the first time in eons of her existence, she has loosen up her such formalities and the young antics of the Fenton twins personalities has made her lighten up. But only fractionally.

"Sunny, Sides. Allspark said that you two are the most mischievous beings she had ever spawned" Alex mentally laughed at what Danny said. Although they were laughing mentally, they both kept their face pleasantly neutral, not to alert Ratchet of their scheming.

"We'll take that as a complement." Sunstreaker said with a hint of pride, "And don't call me Sunny, microbot."

"Hey! Don't call me that Daffodil!"

"Midget!"

"I'll posses you and make you do embarrassing stuff!"

"I like to see you try!"

"Ok, ok! Break it you guys!" Alex and Sideswipe both intervened before it could get ugly. Alex felt them both huff in irritation with her own original human ability, and had to resist the strong urge to mentally giggle.

"Anyways, it was an honor to be called that by the Allspark." Sideswipe added after things calmed down a bit.

Alex felt the Allspark mentally shake her head and sigh, "Even when they both were created with basic programming, I'll never understand their personalities that they created." Alex repeated what she said to the twins and she felt them both beamed with pride.

Ever since the Autobot twins arrived a week prior, Danny noticed that they visited a lot in the Med Bay to see the both of them, knowing of their common personalities and traits; both are twins and both love to prank. So all four of them immediately started to think of ideas to get a prank, well Sideswipe immediately came in plotting and dragged a reluctant Sunstreaker along. As they came in secret and not so secret times behind Ratchet's back Danny noticed that the Yellow Gloom of Doom started paying more and more attention to Alex, started to warm up around her and Danny absolutely bristled in anger. Sometimes almost literally, as he occasionally felt some unfinished metal armor underneath his skin harden and move around almost uncomfortably, ready to pop out in battle mode (The thought alone almost made Danny cringe and feel nauseated and have an almost irresistible urge to scratch his skin until it bled raw).

It did not help that he felt responsible that things had to happen to the only sister he has left in the world and now a guy has an interest in his sister. And Alex, Danny noticed, remains clueless to that particular kind of surrounding.

Danny sighed, 'I guess that's why people call me clueless, it must be a Fenton trait or something…'

"It must be."Allspark spoke only to him in a calm soothing voice.

'Thanks, Allspark.'Danny thought dryly, but Allspark heard him and replied in a courteous tone, still not getting the human term sarcasm,

"You're welcome, young Phantom."

Danny resisted rolling his eyes. He didn't want to appear too rude in front of her, even if she was just a voice inside of his head. Imagine to his surprise and extreme embarrassment that she can hear every thought that goes through his head. Alex was no better are this revelation, she was just as surprised and embarrassed as Danny when she found out.

They were just both happy that they can't hear each others thoughts unintentionally. That would be a nightmare, no secrets...They both shuddered.

Yet, maybe. But they don't want to duel into the unknown future consequences of their bonding and merging of the Allspark powers. They just didn't. They want to first get used to having the Allspark hearing their thoughts and sometimes randomly answering them, scaring the lights out of them.

A few days ago, both of the Fentons found out that Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, Hound and Wheeljack did not arrive alone. They had an Autobot ship following them and it would arrive in several days from now. This news brought great relief to Optimus Prime in knowing that there are more Autobots yet. And better yet, they get to have a better base than the Hoover Dam.

It not like Optimus was not grateful that Secretary of Defense Keller gave them the Dam for a base, far from it actually, but all of the Autobots like to have a base that is big enough to fit thirty to forty big mechs around Optimus size comfortably, and to have a familiar ground.

While the news brought great relief to Optimus, it brought a great inspiriting idea of a prank to the two pairs of twins.

What better way to great the new comers than a "Hello and Welcome" prank? A big one would be the best. As a matter of fact, most of the work and set up requires specialized powers from both of the Fentons to work together as one. (2)

And all four went to hurry and set up the pranks and kept it a low profile from Ratchet and Optimus….and Ironhide…and all of the humans with an exception of Mikaela and Sam if they find out and decided to join…

But they were all not fooled. Optimus made a mental note to give the new arrivals the best warning he could give without giving out too much information for the possibility of the enemies Decepticon to eavesdrop.

000000000000000000000000000

"….wait to see the humans, I wonder what they would look like, what are they going to be like? I can't wait to see Bumblebee again after a vorn of not seeing him, I wonder if his voice is repaired now, I mean it would be great to hear that he can talk now because it was irritating to him that he couldn't talk verbally. Of course he could talk through the comm. link, but it's not the same in talking out loud and…"

Prowl sighed wearily as he felt a mother-board sized painful glitch creeping up to his CPU processor. Sometimes he was known to have the patience to matched Optimus Prime, but his patience is not endless. Spending several orns with the constant chattering of Bluestreak is taxing, and only Wheeljack, Optimus, First Aid, and himself can really handle Bluestreak's motor mouth without snapping at the youngling. Cliffjumper already snapped at him within the first couple of breems of the ongoing sentences.

"Blaster to Prowl."

Prowl let out a small, barely noticeable air ventilation of relief as he thank the Communication Officer and answered, "Prowl here. What do you have to report?"

"I'm just reporting that we will arrive on Earth in ETA 8 Earth hours."

"Understood."

"And that Optimus Prime said that we have a new member. Two new members actually."

"Did he say anything else about them?" Prowl asked, his curiosity piqued.

"He didn't say much, only that there is a teeny, tinyl ittle mech and a normal sized femme. Oh and he said two extra words before he disconnected the line: Mischievous Twins." Blaster said with a calm voice, but there was a hint of force in it like he was struggling to not laugh outright.

Prowl groaned, 'Like one set of Twin Terror is not enough.' "Copy that, thank you. Prowl out."

"Blaster out." Then the dam broke, Prowl heard Blaster laughed outright before he disconnected the comm. link.

Silence came as he complemented on what Blaster said. Two new members, he said, but not two new arrivals; a femme and a mech. As rare as it is to get twins split from a single spark after it splits from the femme creator spark, it's even as rare to get a split into two different gender programs. Usually the twin sparks are of the same gender program and they go into either different looking protoform shells like Sideswipe and Sunstreaker, or they can have nearly identical looking protoform shells. He wondered if they both are new sparklings themselves that were born on Earth. That seems like the most plausible case, but how would you get twins out of the Allspark?

He would have to ask Optimus when they land and get into a secured area.

Bluestreak watched the 2IC think, before excusing himself to the recreation room for a drink of energon. Sure he has a real motor mouth, but he does know to stop talking when someone is talking on the comm. link. It's practically rude to talk to others while they were being called on in the comm. link. Even if you were talking to them first.

If someone was called in the comm. link, you weld you mouth shut. End of story. Even if you can hear it, just mute it.

'But,' the gunner thought as he walked down the halls of the Ark to the recreation room, 'I do wonder what the new twins are like; would they be like our twins? Being what Optimus called them Mischievous Twins.'

00000000000000000000000000000

"Autobots! Front and center!" Optimus commanding voice boomed throughout the Hoover Damn base, of course it helps that he also used the comm. link to get to the bot(s) who he knew would try to use the excuse of not being present due to not hearing the command (coughSidescoughSunnyachoo!).

Sunstreaker and Sideswipe looked at each other then at the bed ridden twins then at each other. They shrugged, not knowing if the command also applies to the Fenton twins.

Ratchet looked sharply at the new Mischievous Twins who we're about to move to jump off of the berth and growled, "You two stay here and don't move a microchip, or I'll reconstruct you both into toasters."

"You're going to make us miss another group of giant walking giant alien bots? Why?!" Alex shouted.

"Alex…" Danny muttered exasperated.

"Because you are still changing and last time I heard is that you guys were in pain."

Both of the Fentons squirmed under the quick scanning as Ratchet gets another update of their health, "Besides, 'doctor's orders'"

"Well, we'll see you later!" One of Sideswipe's optic briefly dimmed as he winked before leaving the Med Bay. Sunstreaker sent a short data burst to Alex and Danny that made them smile mischievously in anticipation before trailing behind his twin brother.

"Let's get the prank started."

Optimus waited patiently before all of the Autobots were accounted for in front of him, then he gave out some orders, "Jazz, Hound, Ironhide, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, and Bumblebee will come with me to greet the new arrivals. Ratchet and Wheeljack will stay here to attend over the twins," All of those mentioned nodded except Mirage, who has yet to be given an order, "Mirage, I want you to secretly watch over the Twins when Ratchet is out of the room. Ratchet has a strong feeling that they are up to something…and I agree…" Optimus sent a brief glance at their own resident Twin Terrors after the first pause.

Sideswipe and Sunstreaker only smiled innocently.

000000000000000

"Now do you think it was a good idea not to tell every of our powers?" Alex asked Danny, a little smudge as she stared at her own grinning doppelganger.

"Hmm…yup, I say it was a fantastic idea to keep that part from them, and if we get caught, which by the way I have no doubt of, we would forever stay in this Med Bay for the rest of our unnatural eternally long lives. At least we finally managed to separate ourselves…" Danny replied with a witty sarcastic remark, staring at his own frowning doppelganger that was looking at his grinning doppelganger sister with crossed arms.

Danny was in his Phantom mode, his luminously glowing neon green eyes stared apprehensively at his doppelganger, who was still staring at his doppelganger twin sister with the same glowing green eyes, who was smiling broadly. Alex, both the real one and not, became black and white with every part of the protoform that shows through the now glowing green temporary armor.

Then Alex stopped smiling as she felt several emotions walking near the Med Bay; one of extreme irritation on the borderline of anger that she had come to know very well during the few weeks of her Med Bay arrest, and the other, the one that she had not familiarized herself to, is of mild curiosity. Alex snapped her gaze downward to her floating bother, her glowing neon green optics brightening in anticipation and said, "Ratchet is coming with someone else, quick!"

Doppelganger Danny Phantom flew to Doppelganger Alex, sat on her shoulder, and with her powers, they both disappeared. And with Danny's powers, they both floated off of the ground and phased through the wall.

The Allspark told them that just because they lost some of their powers, doesn't mean that they don't know how to use the powers. Their bodies already know how to phase, go invisible, fly, walk on walls, shoot ectoblast, etc. They just need the power source to trigger the powers to work. And so touching each other can allow them to draw each others power to their own body and temporary use the powers. But they must remain touching at all times for it to work for now.

They are weak in their phase of bodily and power transformation due to the bonding and becoming Allsparks themselves. The original Allspark said that they will not be as strong as her in power until they have experience and have completed the bonding process, and for all she knows, it may take up to more than a hundred years.

She a life giver, she said, not a clairvoyance.

The originals scrambled to get on their med berth right before a grumbling medic came into view. The medic looked up and raised his optic ridge as they both looked at him with innocent looks.

Ratchet gave them both a withering glare and asked, "What are you up too?"

Alex kept a tight lip, still grinning. She still needs a lesson in bullshitting.

Danny piqued up, being a saving grace for his sister, and answered Ratchet with an all out innocent question, "Doing what? We're not doing anything." True, half true. The originals are not doing anything.

"Then why are you both in your alternative form?" Ratchet crossed his arms over his chassis, giving them a harden glare.

Then Alex thought of something, and like they practiced from a script, they both chorused, "Because we're wondering how long we can last." Also true, but it was a last minute thought. They are wondering how long they can last with their newly developing bodies in Phantom mode, coupled with having their new (and now separated) doppelgangers and separation from the said doppelgangers at distance, alternating and sharing different powers as one at different areas.

"Hmm…seems like your not lying." Ratchet huffed irritation as he went to cleaning his tools to keep them on top pristine shape.

Alex and Danny looked at each others glowing green eyes/optics, "He has a lie detector?!"

"Seems like it…good thing we know how to twist some wordings…"

"Heh, I'll say…thanks for the save, Danny….again."

"No prob…you need a lesson in Bullshitting like Sam said."

"Yeah!" Alex physically blew a gust of air through her lip components in exasperation, "I wonder if Sunny and Sides can teach me…"

Danny just shook his head at her, smiling. As entertaining as it is to hear Alex muttering, he was still anticipating the punishment that will follow the "Hello and Welcome" prank.

"My, my," both of the Phantoms jumped and twitched in surprise at hearing the Allspark's voice suddenly appear out of nowhere with amusement flowing off of her in small waves, "I'm starting to like being bonded to you both. You are the most interesting and entertaining creatures, and children, I have ever to come across in eons."

All three found that being together for an extended period time can change anyone's personality, and the Allspark loves talking with someone other than space dust and hundreds on different human scientist scurrying around her for hundreds of years. No matter how much the twins begged, whined or sent witty remarks, the Allspark keeps on popping in their heads without warning, not like there was anyway to get any warnings to begin with.

Ratchet looked at them with a raised optic ridge, with a question look in his blue optics at why they both suddenly jumped.

They both simply said, "The Allspark." Ratchet nodded in understanding.

During the whole time Mirage leaned against the wall where the medic would not be able to blindly run into him, watching the action with interest.

'They are something else.' Mirage thought.

000000000000000000

Outside of the hall the doppelgangers were silently conversing and, to their dismay, the Allspark can talk to them as well, popping at one moment that almost made Alex loose her invisibility, "Hmm…this is interesting, temporary clones with their own sentience…"

"Urk!" Both chocked on air in surprise. Luckily for them, there were no Autobots patrolling the hallways, but there were a couple of nameless soldiers that perked up in confusion but then shrugged as they dismissed the sound as unimportant.

Alex and Danny let out a barely audible breath of air in relief as the soldiers went back to being bored and patrolled away.

Both of the Phantoms are in a straining position because they have been waiting, hovering above ground for ten minutes now as Alex had her clawed hand wrapped around a rope to trigger the trap that was set on the ceiling. She also had her foot connecting to the side wall, twenty feet above ground on the side of the Hoover Dam's main entrance. After immediately leaving the Med Bay, they went to get their prank supplies that Sunstreaker and Sideswipe provided and spent fifteen minutes, while still invisible, setting up the traps. It proved to be a taxing job for the twins as they were slowly draining their energy that their original gave them.

Finally, after another ten minutes of waiting, Alex felt a group of new emotions coming towards the base at high speed. And Danny heard one familiar obnoxiously loud voice underneath them, "And here we are! The Hoover Dam Base, temporary home of the Mischievous Twins; Alex and Danny!"

That was their cue.

0000000000000000000

Optimus and the rest of the Autobots waited for the Ark to land and have several passengers come out to greet them.

Prowl was the first to come out along with Bluestreak and Cliffjumper. After some exchanges in greeting and Optimus's command to "Transform and roll out!" Prowl went right to business, "So who are the Mischievous Twins, new arrivals or are they Allspark created?"

"You'll just have to wait until we get to the temporary base and retrieve the twins to go back to the Ark."

"Why can't they come themselves?"

Optimus didn't answer right away, and when he did, he answered in a private comm. link, "Because they don't have an alt form, yet."

"…" Prowl was silent and they drove to the Hoover Dam in silence, but it was occasionally broken with Bluestreak's and Sideswipe small talk (mostly it was Sides doing the small talk, Blue doing the long winded talks of his time.) But when they reached towards the entrance of the base, Sideswipe suddenly let out a boisterously loud introduction, "And here we are! The Hoover Dam Base, temporary home of the Mischievous Twins; Alex and Danny!"

All of the suddenly everyone's (yes including Optimus Prime) except Sideswipe and Sunstreaker tires sunk to the suddenly intangible floor and there was a waterfall of gallons upon gallons of hot pink and several other brightly colored paint pouring on the poor hapless and immobile mechs.

There were two muffled sniggers from above and then nothing as the doppelganger twins suddenly burst into energy and it returned to the originals.

Sideswipe and Sunstreaker fell on the floor laughing as the stuck-on-the-ground mechs were screaming and yelling death threats (Cliffjumper). Optimus remained silent, and Prowl kept his logic processor intact seeing that Optimus was not at all worried. At Prowls questioning aura Optimus simply answered, "I knew that that both sets of twins were up to something."

This earned a rare groan from Prowl.

Ratchet came in running and saw a growing pile of awestricken human soldiers staring at the stuck mechs, and then turned his gaze at the hysterically laughing Lambo Twins, then at the stuck mechs again. When everything clicked in place he stormed back to the Med Bay.

The Autobots stopped struggling and watched in interest as Ratchet stormed back to where he came from with a look a holy fury plastered on his face. A second later came small distinctive male yelp and a feminine screaming at such high decibel that was making the Autobots and humans cringe in pain. Then came Ratchet with a surprising package clutched in one hand with a black haired human head poking out with an expression of embarrassment and indignity. Under Ratchet's other arm was a screaming lightly armored purple and silver femme, who was kicking and struggling to get free.

Ratchet glared at the still laughing Twin Terrors while he dropped the femme on her aft none too gently and raised the small human to his face level and growled in a low threatening tone that had both the femme and the human gulping, "Fix this. Now."

Prowl, Bluestreak and Cliffjumper watched the human and the femme sending nervous glances at the gawking military personals. Some of them even dropped their weapons in complete shock.

While the commotion was going on, Will Lennox, Epps, Mikaela and Sam came to investigate, and to their surprise, they saw a group of Autobots, in car mode, stuck literally tire deep in ground. It was as if they rolled into wet cement and waited until it dried.

Ratchet and the other original Autobots, including Jazz, Ironhide, Bumblebee and Optimus seemed to understand their nervous glances because Optimus politely asked the military soldiers to leave.

Epps saw the Fentons and laughed out loud, startling the newbie soldiers right out of their pants and yelled in a cheery voice, "Ya did it again Phantoms?!" Sam started laughing at poor Bee's less than favorable situation.

Mikaela giggle, "Poor Bee!"

Bumblebee let out an indigent chirp, shifting on his shocks.

The stuck Autobots shifted their attention to the human in Ratchets clutching grip, only his head was visible as he muttered an affirm and shifted their attention to the femme who raised her hand and rubbed the back of her head and smiled in a sheepish manner.

Will only shook his head and barked out a commanding order making the other soldiers snap in surprise and went scurrying out of the room in a very unmilitaristic fashion. Will sighed and shook his head again. Newbies he thought.

Then Will turn his attention to the Fentons, "Ok Phantoms," he called out in their alter egos name, "clean this mess up."

Prowl and the other new arrivals all thought, 'Why do they keep on calling the femme and the human Phantoms, and where is the small mech twin?'

Alex sighed and ducked her head in defeat. Well that was fun. She got up and stood in front of Ratchet with her hand out to get her brother, "Can I have my twin brother back? I need him and his help." Alex let out a snigger as she felt the shock coming out in waves and heard a small, distinct sound of pop and sizzle as the CPU short-circuiting.

She perched her brother on his usual spot on her shoulder and went behind one Autobot, a red version of Bumblebee's Camaro, touched him and made him intangible. She pushed him out of the trap and all of the paint fell harmlessly to the ground.

Another sound of CPU fizzing out rang in front of the Phantoms. Cliffjumper did not move from his alt mode as Alex went to the next mech and did the same job over.

Alex and Danny enjoyed hearing their CPU short-circuiting.

0000000000000000000000000000000

Out in space showed another, more menacing looking ship coming towards the blue water planet.

Whelp! Another chapter done and it's a long one.

(1) I did name him that on purpose. And I plan on using this information for the next story, a sequel of this story. I won't tell you what it is, but if you can figure out what I'm talking about, then you get a cyber cookie!

(2) Same reason as number one. Can you guys guess what it is?
