Iris:  

"Who in the name of...?"

Iris felt something really sting her wound, which she almost immediately crouched up to yell in pain. But what she got was an angry groan in defeat and a hand slapped over her mouth. It took her few seconds to realize an unknown female human was trying to help her. By cleaning her bleeding side.

"Shut up. You will wake your friends." Her answer was kind of rude, but Iris forgot all about it as she made her position much more nicer by settling some leafs behind her back. Her turquoise eyes were watching intensively as the brunette short haired girl was cleaning up her injured wound, before she saw Jack was awake too and staring the stranger with wide eyes.

"... Who are you?" Iris saw others in asleep, widening her eyes to see unknown Bot stand near a just settled campfire. He was so cool looking, even though very dangerous image did he gave by resting his one samurai blade onto his lap, staring at Iris with suspicious.

The girl hesitated to reveal her ID, making eye contact with Iris for the first time. Well she had beautiful green eyes admitting enough but only then Iris saw her carrying around two blades also. Like these two were Samurai partners or something.

"... Mind if I ask first?" Iris liked that she didn't tell it sooner, onto her face formed up a smile.

"Iris Willson, Leader of the Guardian stones' group." Iris introduced, the girl stumbled then way back to take distance. Iris saw from under her heavy dressing a glowing white Crystal; knowing what this meant. "... I assume that you know of us and me then."

"You are... the cause?" The 'Bot behind this stranger girl asked, the cave they had taken Iris and her team was narrow enough yet feeling safe.

"Not the cause." Jack quickly defended Iris with whisper, noticing Praxina twitch in her dream. "Alpha Trion chose all of us for the task; what we've been able to figure out this far is that we're here to finish up undone mission to end the misery chaosing this world and to avoid the awakening of a huge Monster. You two are ones of our missing comrades."

"That's... impossible." The girl retreated up to her Guardian while sitting down on his ped. Her eyes still wide. Iris gently knew that hesitance creep her mind, so she begun to slowly raise herself up to stand. "No, stay there. Your wounds--"

"We are strangers, yet you care." Iris reassured, noticing the girl's instant mood switch as she looked down. Trying to take back what she had just said. "... Can I learn both of yours name?"

"Drift." The Bot told with trust, he was old looking although wise and could kick some ass if needed. His servo patted the Iris' aged girl's head as he looked down at her. "Her name's Katie."

"Drift and Katie... nice names you two." Jack had limped his way over to Iris to get her to remain on her spot, reassuringly smiling at them. "I'm Jack; Third in Command after Praxina over there--" Jack looked behind, flinching as her arm moved rapidly and it almost hit the sleeping Ann. Hell would have been on the loose. "... She's quite the case I warn you already."

"I didn't even know." Iris said in disbelief, giggling little when Jack made a look. "... We should do the introducion later, I believe everyone will be glad to meet you two."

"If you don't mind now when we know each other-- why did we find all of you unconcious just laying there on the river?" Katie asked her question, since it had troubled her the whole evening.

"We, umm... fell from a space ship and impacted up to the ground from escaping some Villains." Jack stated sarcastically, humorous thing was Drift and Katie's blinks in shock. "Has things been great with you?"

"The unknown Cybetronian speciments has been a burden." Drift said. Iris saw him keeping really close eye contact with Katie there... they must've grown to be close on their trip. "Nothing major despite the inhabitants chasing us away."

"They're a tough case... sorry." Iris sighed, closing her eyes for second. "If you don't mind I'd like to get my 'beauty' sleep, please wake me up if things run out of hands."

"I'll stay on the watch." Jack reassured, pulling more comfortably the leaf on Iris when she was already half asleep.

Ahh... one down, last one to go.

~ Time skip ~

"It's so good... I want to die."

"Stop saying things like that! It's heavenly to be exact."

"Ann, stop."

"-- Oi, lazy-butt!"

Iris smelled something very delicious, before a kick on the side weren't much of appreciated. She heard gasps hear and almost how everyone launched to kill Praxina; but Iris was faster. The girl grabbed her arm without giving any warning as she pulled herself up, nextly bending her arm bad time behind her back. Praxina grunted in surprise and pain.

"And that's why she's our boss." Iris heard Chris' complement her.

Iris brought her face closer to Praxina's.

"Ever do that again." Iris warned while letting go, Praxina quickly laughed in defense while she swinged to hang on her shoulder. "Ugh... seriosly, why my side?"

"Sorry." Praxina apologized, giving her a plate with becon and eggs then. Iris only stared in surprise. "But you would've been left to starve since Chris eats all the food!"

"I heard that!" Chris defended.

Iris chuckled, taking her plate before there was another figure to wait her. By turning around she saw Optimus, her throat gasping very loudly after his holoform scooped her up. He carrying her towards others bridal style.

"O-Optimus!?" Iris blushed, embarassed when others grinned and hardly concentrated to their eating when Optimus sat down on a rock while never letting go of her. "Please, put me down."

"You put too much pressure on the wound--" Iris glanced up to see Katie still in the living books, winking to Optimus. "Keep her that way."

"What!?" Iris almost screamed, hardly relaxing once Optimus leaned back and let Iris sit there on the ground and lean her back onto him. The plate still in her grasp. "... This is very embarassing."

"You're not alone." Ann had crossed arms while she grumpily stared the fire in front of her; her own body being locked there into Causeway's holoform.

"Stop complaining and eat!" Chromia was already having her third egg, still fourth going. "I never realized human food was so good."

"She eats all my food." Jack sighed, earning a hit onto the back of his head. "Oi!" Chromia made a warning glance, Jack quickly backed on for his word while slowly got closer to Moonracer. "She's scary...."

"Katie, Alex." Praxina licked her fingers, lust in her eyes. "You are ment to be cheffs!"

Katie slightly exchanged looks with Alex, chuckles escaped their throats. Iris sworn to have small blush on both of their faces.

Crush in lesser than an hour, huh?

"... Are we going to discuss what happened before we got kidnapped?" Chris spoke up, Iris eating her egg slowly before her apétite got lost. She lowered up her plate, but only had Optimus grab his hand on hers; he grabbing a meat-stick while held it forward for Iris to eat. Slowly she did relent for his request and started to chew, yet she tried to get him to eat some eggs.

"You mean, the stone?" Ann asked, she and Causeway now wrestling since she didn't agree to eat her food at all.

"What stone?" Katie quickly asked, Drift's attention drawned up to them also by just staring at his Charge.

"... It's not worth to talk about since Katie has no idea about it." Jack sighed, for the truth wanting to just forget all about it. "Besides it could've been just a simple hallusination since the Decepticons got us caught."

"That was planned." Andrea replied.

"What wasn't planned was the Villagers showing the way." Megatron argued in between. "They knew what to speak, not acting like they were forced up to do it."

"Then how did that bitch and her whole armada find us?" Praxina snarled with the deepest of her throat, everyone's attention caught by some laughs. They turned to see Iris laying on Optimus trying to get him eat one egg as he was trying to get her eat some meat. They not paying attention. So when Praxina and Chris cleared their throats to earn their attention; innocently did the Prime-partners look back. With sigh Iris turned to hear the boring conversation, but not without a smile as Optimus tickled smally her sides.

What's got into him!?

"She said her partner quite multiple times, although none of us saw him or her." Alex grabbed his chin, wondering.

"They can't possibly track us down, can they?" Moonracer doubted the choice.

"You mean our enemy?" Drift tried to somehow follow behind with their conversation. Katie already had fallen off of the rail.

"Yeah, maybe a former-disciple to Galvatron; a girl called Annabelle who works with her own Guardian perhaps... all I'm wondering that she didn't have a Crystal. How come she was so powerful?" Alex layed down, the all thinking and wondering made Iris crazy.

"-- Another matter, for another time." Iris cut in between everyone, frozing only for second by fooling around with Optimus. "... If you are so willing to know I believe that was the first taste for us before the original war. For us to see what our Guardians had been through on their worst moments in their own war... and for us to prepare what actually is coming."

Everyone stared to see her eyes glimm while speaking. No one dared to answer, since her guess seemed far too real. Katie and Drift only exchanged hesitant looks, before Iris laughed out loud by everyone's face.

"Come on, we shouldn't start worrying it that much if our Guardians are here." Iris reassured, gladly hugging Optimus' arms to make sure he was still there. And yes he was, with chuckle burrying his head onto Iris' shoulder. "Wouldn't you agree?"

"... Yeah." Chris looked hesitantly at Ann, who had stared him almost the whole time. "Please, don't kill me."

But Ann smiled, only doing the same as Iris that she hugged Causeway's arms with all she got. Smuggling closer to never let go.

"I'm too grown to you to let anything else happen to you." Ann whispered, for the first time in their whole trip everyone saw Causeway smiling. The femme did hug her own Charge too, laughing as she felt Ann groan for hotness.

"Alright, alright." Praxina sighed, gasping suddenly when Megatron pulled her to sit down on his lap. Even though he didn't hug or anything else he had her Charge's face all red. "I-idiot!"

"-- What next?" Jack managed to ask when Chromia was giving him some deadly hugs.

"We wait till next morning and continue... I believe with the 'Cons on our tailpipe we should be able to upgrade in some point too." Iris giggled, happy how they all made it alive. "Perhaps maybe even transform."

"What's a transform?" Katie quickly asked. The Team X sighed then, although for her question smiling with wide smile. "And continue where?"

"Oh, it's gonna be a long night." Alex warned.

... A night worth to spend.

Decepticons:

"Master!"

Annabelle was angrily stumbling across Galvatron's kindom's huge halls, determined to reach up for her destination. Her Guardian wasn't agreeing on helping her so he was waiting by their ship, Tarn already helping them to fix it. Once the small girl was able to get behind the needed doors she pushed them wide open; entering a dark and huge room.

Galvatron flinched.

"-- Annabelle. What a nice surprise." Annabelle didn't even flinch to hear the voice behind her back, knowing by time to time that Galvatron wanted to show himself as strong and fearless leader. Even frightening. "Have you come to retrieve me something?"

"Is it true?" Annabelle spoke, quickly backing on her word to see Galvatron's purple/red optics glared down at her. "My liege... that you have developed humans like me?"

Galvatron was caught surprise by the question, stumbling towards his throne with hesitant thoughts. Annabelle was his first disciple and best one; he didn't want to get her mad. Or her to be disappointed.

"Out of all seven of you, you are special. You don't need a Crystal to guide your way and give you more power, as Unicron has instructed." Galvatron reminded her two years then, seeing the human's eyes only narrow bit. "But I have. Since the new chosen team of rebellions has come to stop me with my mission and came to defeat me; I must get rid of the interfierences."

"You mean Team X?" Annabelle almost laughed, crossing her arms. "They're as weak as I was when starting my training with you!"

"Impactor told me about your non-succeeded mission... you had an advantage of them, but they managed to escape." Galvatron sat down on his throne, watching Annabelle's hands turn into fists. "If they would be weak, I would already be settling my stones back on the empty missing Guardian stones."

"That louzy little..." Annabelle realized only then that Iris had lied to her about them being weak. That was a dry lie. "-- I want my revenge, master. Our ship takes months to be fixed so I have lots of time to make your wishes come true."

"You are no longer mine to command, Annabelle." Galvatron reminded Annabelle again, their relationship might've be too impossible to be true but Galvatron would do whatever it takes to keep her safe. Out of the harm, since she had a really bad habit to get into trouble. "Thus you are not strong enough to battle."

"Then make me strong and fearless like you, my Lord!" Annabelle pleaded, falling down on her one knee in defense. "I want to prove myself to be useful... I'm tired of rounding the planets and just staying far away from you, so please--" Her red eyes were in tears as she met Galvatron's widened optics. "Don't send me away again."

"-- Very well." Galvatron couldn't take it to see her in that defendless mode as he motioned her to come closer. Annabelle got up and slowly walked up the stairs to remain below his master's pedes. Galvatron easily lifted her up onto his lap, his servo taking carefully one very powerful stone of his. "After this you are to command a team same kind like you, do as I say my every command and are willing to patiently stay by my side. Is that understood?"

Annabelle wiped away her tears, slowly narrowing her brows up as she grinned at Galvatron.

"With all my heart, Galvatron."
