Iris:

"Aww, man. Chris! You ate the food again!?"

"I swear to God I didn't!"

"Shut the fuck up!"

Iris groaned, not even realizing that her blaster had transformed out that she actually shot a plasma at her friends. Like three seconds after she quickly raised her gaze to see a clear path as on when her blue plasma had hit a mountain's side, leaving on it a mark. All Ann, Chris, Praxina, Katie and Savannah staring at her with terrified eyes. Luckily others were still asleep, as Iris akwardly smiled.

"Sorry." Iris whispered, ready to leave her warm comfy bed of Optimus' palm until the digits denied her further moving. Iris gasped as Optimus placed her on his chest plating, he still in full sleep as on dreaming. "Jeez, Praxe help me out."

"Fine, fine." Praxina was oddly awake as the sun was only rising, she carefully jumping over Megatron's arm as in afterwards crawling all the way up on Optimus' frame. "Sorry that those idiots woke you up." She raised some of Optimus' digits up without waking him, allowing Iris to squirm her way out as on she stood by herself. Scretching only her body. "I tried to get them to be quiet."

"At least Bots are still sleeping." Iris looked around with reassuring smile, already knowing that she had slept already 10 hours at least. "As Jack, Zoe and Alex too. Don't worry."

Iris and Praxina jumped down, joining their human friends' accompany by circling the campfire.

"How come this many's already awake?" Katie yawned, resting on her side.

"I saw a nightmare... and wish to not talk about it." Savannah layed down on her back, rolling over then to her stomach. "I feel anxious too, probably one of the bad mornings again."

"I saw a freaking baby in my dream." Praxina shivered, taking her water dose of the day.

"Yeah, me too." Ann groaned. "Although there was very very dark, I even barely made the figure out but it seemed like a baby straight from hell." She flinched before stealing a bread Chris was eating. "Just born one."

"Oi--!"

"I hope that's not a sign." Iris crawled to a ball, watching as Katie throwed some sticks into the fire. She recalled of sharing same kind of dream about a baby somehow familiar to her, yet it was so pure evil and innocent that it grasped her heart. That must've be the reason she has been awake the rest few hours. "I wouldn't want to start killing small babies."

"Nah, it would be easy to just take one down because it doesn't know to be killed." Praxina shrugged, staring the fire. "... But yet I can't stop pacing my leg." She tried to force her limb to stop the tapping, but it was impossible. A frustrated groan escaped her throat.

"I'd suggest that we continue already." Savannah pleaded, noticing how she had nervously begun eating her nails too. Jack and Alex had started rolling oddly while dreaming, as on Zoe's rod was pulsing.

"Get everyone up." Iris commanded, as a wind hit her face then. Something was coming, fast. "Optimus." Iris jumped for her Guardian, nervously yet gently tapping his cheek to earn his attention. Those big blue orbs glowed to life, they narrowing of the sight to see Iris there all nervous. "Please wake up, we need to go." Iris whispered, trying at least as her last resort be quiet. Optimus didn't even question it as his frame rose halfly to sit, his optics drawning towards one direction. His audioreceptors trying to listen. "Jack, come on wake up."

"I don't wanna..." The young boy groaned as on switching to his right side. Andrea beside him did flinch awake, quickly backing away all the way to Perceptor. So Iris knelt down beside Jack, using only small pitched shockwave from her finger as she touched Jack's side. The boy went to yell something out loud but Iris slapped her hand on his mouth, shutting him quickly up.

"Shh, shh." Iris pleaded, nervously leaning on Jack's shirt as she tried to listen. Nothing could be heard, but the sent of something evil was already really close. "Get up, and stay quiet. Collect your stuff we're leaving."

"What is it?" Jack whispered back, hesitantly getting up as Iris did. Alex and Zoe were awake along with most of the Bots... the only one sleeping now was Perceptor and Megatron. This wasn't going to be easy to get these two up quietly. "Shit."

"Optimus." Praxina sighed, the former Prime kneeling down for the girl. "He's all yours."

Iris knew Optimus was doing just fine by waking his brother up, but she was worried about waking Perceptor up. She jogged over to the large mech as Andrea, Chris and Ann were already wondering how to wake this Titan up. Chromia and Moonracer looking really ready to shut him up by any means necessary.

"Perceptor." Iris hissed, not getting a thing in response. Maybe a loud humm but that was in his sleep, as it startled everyone up. "Perceptor, wake up!" She raised her voice, wondering was it too loud as the old grumpy-butt groaned out loud and his optics pinned wide open.

"And now I can't even recharge in peace--!" Chromia and Cyclonus launched to shut Perceptor up, their servos both curled around his dentas as they breathed quietly. Trying to shut the squirming Perceptor up and get him to realize. But he didn't and tried to break free. "You- two little--!"

"Perceptor!" Andrea jumped on his faceplate with a snarl, this getting him quiet. But now it had became all too quiet, even Megatron was awake as trying to hear what was wrong with the humans and what could possibly be coming. "You need to be quiet, please."

Perceptor slowly nodded, ripping himself off of Chromia's and Cyclonus' grasp once scooping Andrea up. He standing on his full height to look little around.

"Always on mornings." Causeway got her blaster out, Ann already sitting on her shoulder resting. Her leg was still patched up because of the birds back then, so she could take no part in any fight. "I'm starting to hate these."

"Oh shit." Praxina suddenly cursed as her eyes traveled towards her weapons and hoodie resting on the clearance, she quickly jogging towards them. "If they come on now--"

"Are you an idiot!?" Chris hissed as he took his blaster out and was ready to cover.

"Tch." Iris couldn't afford anymore of her warriors getting hurt so she ran after her for cover, taking her spear out.

"Iris!" Jack groaned also, Optimus and Megatron with care keeping really good eye on the bushes and trees behind them. When Praxina reached up for her things and begun settling them on a sigh escaped her throat to see Iris slow to stop by her.

"Worried, ay?" Praxina smirked, Iris rolled her eyes while walked behind her and begun to push forward.

"Come on!" Zoe called. Finally the eldest was awake and worriedly watching these two reckless girls getting their things. She was going to remind them of that later. So Iris and Praxina jogged already, relieved that this was going to work out. "We should move then before--"

"Mine!"

Iris tremped as Praxina choked to her own spit, their heads turned and eyes widened to see really huge Cybetronian jump out of the trees like a hungry tiger desiring for preys. But even though Iris and Praxina fell to the ground totally another person formed out to punch this Cybetronian away from the two girls; Iris recognized the mech as Venox. Not long did it take as he tried to get them, only to have Causeway's and Optimus' blasters cover them.

"RUN!" Megatron slide his sword out, launching to cover for these two girls. They were too shocked to transform so they just made run for it, seeing how now an odd looking dog came running at them, intending to get them. "Unicron!" He snarled.

But a web got stuck for both Iris' and Praxina's back, nextly sending them high in the air and out of the dog's reach. In the air Iris still saw other similar dogs attack on Optimus and others, ripping and clawing the Bots while trying to get the humans again. Iris and Praxina were scooped up by Chromia who was shockingly staring at a Spider-Cybetronian on the clearance, giving no further interest to them as she was blasting Unicron down.

"Back down!" Annabelle formed with Impactor to the image, yelling Iris something. "We have a fight to settle, you better get away before we'll reach you!"

"What's going on!?" Praxina tried to remove the web still off of herself, only that Iris transformed up and jumped again out of Chromia's grasp, running after Zoe who was going to help Megatron on the field. "Iris!"

"Should we retreat!?" Iris asked once reaching Zoe, seeing how she had her caught off guard. The elder woman made a nod, looking then again at Megatron who was wrestling with Unicron.

"Not without our comrades." Zoe calmly said, Iris only seeing John and Annabelle approach with annoyed faces. "Enemies?"

"Totally."

Iris rolled on as Annabelle's hands grasped hers, they making a few good spins on the field while one another trying to push the other away. Even though Annabelle used already her power by striking her fist to the grass beside Iris' head, her eyes burning in anger.

"Leave." Annabelle growled, raising her gaze to see Unicron managed to get rid of Megatron as his optics locked on for her. Annabelle bit her lip as she grabbed Iris' suit sleeve, throwing her way too far away towards the approaching Optimus. But Impactor didn't leave Annabelle this time in trouble as he pushed Unicron away from Annabelle... only that Unicron landed right beside Optimus. "Wait!"

"You!" Unicron realized who it was as he brought Optimus' pedes off from under him, the former Prime's servo not catching Iris. The girl fell heavily to the ground not far from the Titans, her eyes looking back in disbelief both Annabelle, then the fighting Unicron and Optimus. What the frag was going on? "You were the last of the Primes, dooming me down to this cursed wretched planet!"

"You made that happen." Optimus simply ignored his hard demands as he used his ped to hit Unicron's helm really hard, Iris doing her final hit with her blaster. This send him away for second, giving Optimus time to search Iris and scoop her up. "Megatron!"

The former Warlord groaned as he took Zoe with him, starting to make his leave without their mortal-enemies even harming them. Unicron and his fellow dogs gave, but Annabelle and her group seemed not attentionized of harming Iris and others this time. But to get them to leave.

"John..." Iris looked after her brother who stood there watching after her, waving. Annabelle went to him when Optimus reached his team and helped Predaking on slaughtering one dog down as they made run for it into the bushes. "Let's run!"

"You pests!" Unicron still weren't done but so wasn't Skyquake and Dreadwing either when they challenged him. He had to summon the dogs to get himself out of the trouble, and let the Team X get away this time.

"Just run, run, run!" Praxina pleaded, watching how fast Megatron could go as he had done exchange between Chromia and Elita. Now it was partners only; the Bots running from there away for their lives.

"That was Unicron!?" Ann gasped, like a miracle her wound all healed up.

"He tried to freaking get us!" Andrea cried, Perceptor the one groaning as he kicked a rock along the way. No Bots intending on slowing down any second.

"But he didn't!" Moonracer reassured, every bot took quite the speed as they jumped over a huge valley. Landing perfectly, as on continuing. "But I do wonder what was the whole idea of Galvatron covering for us?"

Optimus slowed then to a stop after a while, his frame taking in some serious deep breaths as he crouched down to grab his knees. Iris changed back to her normal clothing as adrenaline still filled her veins crazily, not giving her any peace of mind. Her gaze looked to see Megatron and others slow to stop too, everyone so exhausted and shocked to leave this action unspoken for.

"Can anyone tell me, what the fuck just happened!?" Jack yelled.

"Was that actually back there Unicron?" Katie asked rather in disbelief, somehow her arm was seriosly bleeding. Maybe one dog managed to scratch her skin.

"The spider saved us?" Praxina panted, Megatron also highly doubting Airachnic be able to do such a thing. "I wasn't flying in mid-air for nothing, they tried to help us!"

"Yeah..." Iris agreed, remembering Annabelle's pleading face all too well. "Something odd's going on, last time I encountered Annabelle I lost my arm, now she tried to save me from being get by Unicron?"

"Has she turned into a good?" Chris blurted out.

"Unicron wasn't just targetting anyone." Chromia corrected, raising up back on her full height. "Jack weren't the dogs interest but Ann, Andrea, Katie and Savannah were, same drawning for Praxina and Iris, even Annabelle on the field."

"But they didn't target on me." Zoe stated, gripping her chin. "But for girls..."

"Please tell that my brain has just gone crazy, but could the baby-thing have something to do about all this?" Ann rubbed her eyes nervously, opening them only when it had became totally quiet. All eyes/optics just staring at her. "Oi, don't tell me--!"

"He's building an army." Megatron crossed his arms firmly, raising Praxina's gapped jaw back on it's place. "Maybe normal troopers aren't enough for him."

"This war contains much more than just original fire-power." Optimus agreed, hesitantly glancing back up towards the hill they had just ran down in order to get away. "Unicron seems to know already what he needs to win this planet for himself, using the possessers of Guardian stones thus Annabelle's similar stone in order to re-create something ancient way back from the history."

"-- You talking of the ravage-children?" Cyclonus asked a little dumbfounded, never expecting that learning that way back when it was still peace reign on their planet that he'd heard that word again. "But they were Cybetronian."

"And they possess Cybetronian material." Optimus replied, pointing the stone Iris carried so briefly with. Well, she couldn't exactly take it off either.

"Then for the little ones... how powerful can they be?" Predaking required, Savannah yawning on his back as the conversation seemed too boring. Can that girl join the chat at least?

"Are babies gonna beat us?" Alex laughed, yet his face turned to a frown side.

"We don't know." Iris sighed in defense. "But I believe Annabelle knows something more on this one... if Unicron tried to get her, as I sensed she didn't have so much power within her and how badly she wanted to chase me away--"

"Could've she possibly been the test-subject?" Drift ended her statement, notifying her odd behaviour back on the field too.

"Where were Abigail and others then?" Praxina snorted, finding this conversation hard to get and believe. "Were they having babies too?"

"Galvatron must've be pissed." Elita murmured.

"What the point here was came all too obvious as a warning... Annabelle and her team won't be assisting us any further." Iris interrupted the further worrying, even though this was highly concerning. "We need to be more careful from now on. Unicron's a loner wolf so he could get us while we sleep too."

"And Annabelle or Galvatron won't?" Ann asked, annoyed.

"They must've have him to worry too. Unicron's not an easy opponent to be dealt with." Megatron cut in between, clearly his armor had taken some damage while he was battling the ancient evil. Some of the cuts still bleeding. "But the longer we stand here talking Unicron's going to find us, we should retreat still way back before figuring out how to prepare on defeating Unicron and Galvatron."

"Great, two enemies now." Jack sarcastically said, letting out a whine as Chromia smally pinched his neck. "Hey!"

"Don't be such a fool."

"You're the idiot!"

"Everything okay?" Optimus stroke Iris' metal-arm gently, glad once her digits curled to grasp his digit and give a squeeze.

"Just, I zone out lately." Iris apologized, her mind concentrating fully for Optimus as the mech formed up a wide, heart warming smile. Her cheeks again feeling flustrated and cherry red.

"You should know, that I won't let anything happen to you. I swear that upon the very still pumping spark in me."
