Iris:

"Enemies!?"

Venox growled, to him the Team X was way too loud. On other though the Villains hadn't used for such loud and comfortable voices, so they begun to feel uncomfortable. Or just irritated. But the humans/Bots' conversation at the back was otterly important also, so they just dropped it before one of them would snap.

(Zoe and Elita; out of this mission.)

They just stayed back to keep Siri operative... she needs a powersource in order to work so what's a better choice than stone of a Guardian!

"This difficults our little mission here," Alex sighed, not knowing what to think now.

"So, Predacons and Dinobots don't match up?" Katie asked, showing with her hands two sides, as some electricity was held between them.

"We are the opposites." Crusher growled, disliking the fact that they needed to require Dinobots' help.

"Like your war, we fought against Dinobots on our age of time," Solar tapped both Optimus' and Megatron's shoulder plates, getting these two exchange looks. Almost pained ones. "But now... we must set truce then." She sighed.

How bad you must fight to say something like that!?

Peace should bring people into an realization already; it's the only choice!

"And you will," Savannah grinned, jumping over a rock. "Since I totally wanna see Horn-Head's new best friend-- and I can't allow that to be anyone other than a Dinobot!"

"By Primus..." Predaking was so against all this.

"You might be useful also," Iris reminded, not knowing where exactly was John leading them all. Yeah he did have perfect instincts of locating someone as well tracking them down, but-- they were in middle of a God damn woods.  "If our plan of getting them peacefully fails, you might as well challenge them and fight for their alligning."

"You force them to fight?" Will rose his brow, getting one back. Iris ment totally the opposite!

"No, no--" Iris walked now backwards, not really looking where she was going. Luckily John and the Decepticons were infront as some of the Team X and Team Trio kept the tail. "I ment that you are the obvious choices they want to fight against... I would if they'd take a human like me seriosly."

"Not too seriosly," Optimus warned strictly, giving her a look.

"Alright, alright!" Praxina laughed, walking with Iris backwards also. This became a habit as the humans infront all turned, even Will and Rosalie. Doesn't the command go-- follow the Leader's lead. "But... we must keep everything organized, right? I wish not to separate anyone."

"You're the one who needs to be separated..." Katie kept that all by herself. Although most of them heard and ended up laughing.

"Ohh, and Cause'!" Ann called, almost tripping to a tree branch. Causeway got a sparkattack by it as afterwards made a glare for her to be careful. "We must remember tonight to--"

Slip.

.

.

Why always us?

"Oh no!" Cyclonus wasn't enough fast to grab the line of sliding people down; attached onto each other. This had to be all too familiar for them --from the very begginning-- but once Chris and Savannah accidentally slipped from the fringe they reached and got grib of Jack and Katie, which in return continued. Even Will and Rosalie got brought for this shit! "Chris!"

Now the humans smacked for the cliff's downhill... going down really fast.

Gravity.

The cliff the humans were rolling down looked kind of rocky and very dangerous to be brought into a situation like that.

"I'm gonna--" Praxina hit her arm to a rock, suddenly transforming of the fury by it. "Hang you CHRIS!"

"Not only my fault!" Chris managed to roll on his ass, but found himself unable to slow down his pace. Iris was on her stomach trying to reach anything but ended up getting cuts of the sharp rocks coming on forward. "Savannah's to blame too!"

"Wyeeeee!" How come Savannah could be joyful of that!?

"Grab of something!" Jack ordered, everyone looked around.

The Villains attention was caught by the rebellion Cybetronians running past them with a rush, as heading down the mountain waiting for them. They saw no humans with so... their heads shot to look back very quickly. How they had ignored their yells up to this moment!?

The sceen; Guardians of the Stones as well Protectors of the Beasts closed up with another cliff.

"Iris!" John called, jumping abnormally high as he himself slided down to reach the humans. He saw a dead looking gorge, so he had no time to loose.

"For Christ's sake!" Lucy and Mira joined him, Emily and Ash not been granted any command as Galvatron stopped them. He looked down at them all, until walked forward to have a better sight.

His subordinates most watched them too.

Taking no part in of saving them.

"Praxina!" Megatron growled, transforming for his flight-mode as he flew quite fastly between the sentimeters of gorge and his Charge. The girl saw her chance as grabbed Ann's hand in the process --since she was the only closest one--, while she was enough fast to jump on Megatron who sped pass.

"Go, Moonracer!" Chromia yelled, now the speeder drove on the muddy and sandy cliff trying not to fall for the 80 feet tall fall. The femme transformed in mere seconds to grab her Charge and Jack also, but she was too close so the rocks gave in. "NO--!"

A servo grabbed the femme's ped, as well swung her quite quickly up. Moonracer fell gently on her aft and held the humans close then rose her gaze. She froze to see it was Venox who panted heavily until he launched for the others. She couldn't believe him-- he saved her? An Autobot? A person who he conciders as an enemy?

"This is too fun!" Savannah was laughing, Katie grabbed her sleeve to slow her pace with her blade. "Aww, come on!"

"We've got no time--!"

Predaking landed in front of these two as wrapped his tail securely around them, stopping the further sliding with his claws. He growled by Savannah's behaviour, making her to realize this wasn't a joke.

"I was just having fun," Savannah folded her arms like a grumpy child, transforming back.

"Iris's still--!" Praxina gasped.

Lucy and Mira launched for Rosalie and Will as well they got heart attack of some sudden Predacon claws felt around all of them, while their trip stopped there. Crusher and Solar came right for the rescue in time.

"IRIS!" Optimus yelled horrified, there was no way he'd reach his Charge enough fast although he was running. With all he had. The sped his pedes could carry him.

It wasn't going to be enough.

Iris was rolling so fastly that she begun to get dizzy, but she still saw the edge in few meters. With the three rest rolls she felt no longer any ground coming as an endless void was to greet her. But even though already few meters down she felt an arm grab her arm as well something grabbed so on. Woah, what a line. The Leader was so sure that she'd fall so she looked up, widening her eyes to see John swung there with her as Venox was holding his leg.

The moment was critically hanging on a grib of an arm... as the servo holding her brother's leg.

So close...

"You got her!?" Praxina ran to the edge, as Venox begun to pull the humans up. Once John came to picture everyone held their breath, but then they saw how he threw Iris little in the air so he'd have now a tight grib around her waist. He really got her this time. "Thank God..."

"What was the whole idea in that fuzziness!?" Jack came rushing forward, while Venox settled John and Iris calmly down then. But faceplate stern as ever. "Was it you--!?" Ther TIC grabbed Chris' sleeves roughly as Will simply unattached these two from each other. "That was not cool!"

"Like I planned it!?" Chris argued back, their Guardians sighed.

"I'm fine, thanks..." Iris only brushed the dirt off of her, seeing her Guardian slow to stop as well fall on his one knee optics wide of the moment of terror he just had. It was so close indeed. "Optimus really--" The Cybetronian snatched her and pulled her against his metallc chest plating, allowing her annoyed voice to actually convince him that she was there. "I'm fine. I didn't fall thanks to them!"

"What a start of the day." Ann sighed, turning to hear footsteps approaching. Those couldn't be Galvatron's-- since he was in the other direction. So she turned, only to widen her eyes in split seconds of the looming shadow over her. "Uhh, guys?"

Everyone's helm/head turned, perhaps a bad timing. They were surrounded by multiple Cybetronians with them some heavy looking blasters and blades just to take them on. Ohh, and they were strictly pointed right at them all. Galvatron was walking peacefully down with his troopers and two humans his arms up for the few huge Beasts directing him to join the club.

One stepped forward, looking to be in Charge.

"Who are you?" He snarled, clearly not appreciating the fact that Iris, and her allies were on their territory.

"Are they the Dinobots?" Savannah asked little dumbfounded. None of them expected them to transform like Predacons could-- none the less being able to talk!

Optimus stepped forward peacefully, shielding Iris mostly with his digits.

"We are here to ask your help... take us to your King." Iris' Guardian humbly requested. Had he dealed in situations such as this?

"And why would we do that?" One female snorted nearby, getting Solar all worked up if Crusher wouldn't nudge her to be quiet. "-- Predacons!"

The Dinobots transformed immediately to their original forms, none of them looked familiar. Iris tensed along with the rest of their group, as everyone got into a circle. Protected one.

"Calm down!" Rosalie pleaded, grabbing her Carrier's tail which wagged quite a lot. She had her claws out also, ready to tear apart the nearest mech seething for her. "Please Mom!"

"Stay there." Megatron pushed Praxina behind him so the humans were in the middle, but Iris refused to leave Optimus' palm, so she got a tight grib of it. To inform him. Even though he didn't like it now wasn't the time to argue.

"Crusher--!" Will's slip for his sire was off as the biggest Predacon felt fury grow in him, as he attacked to the Dinobot-mech laughing at him. He digged his teeth deep, toring with his claws also his metal so the Dino let out quite growls of pain. "SIRE!"

"Back--" Predaking grabbed hold of Crusher as well throwed him back. Once sliding his claws in the air infront of the bruiced Dinobot's face he knew to back down a bit by it. Now the Predacon struggled with his allie to hold him still. "Down!"

"Please!" Iris yelled, getting ears to heed her words. Optimus couldn't keep her quiet, now couldn't she. Was she again giving in? "Please... keep your troopers away from my friends."

I'm not going to bow before him.

Optimus was left to swallow hardly by this.

The 'Charge' guy laughed dryly, stepping closer because of the human's threatening. But Optimus and others didn't really like that as they stepped back, preparing just in case. Oh if only the glares could kill.

"And what do you plan to do little scum?" He threatened, if Optimus wouldn't held Iris that tight she would've attacked on him. "That's what I thought."

"What you thought huh?" Causeway panicked of her Charge's words; what was left for her to see was Ann taking speed of Optimus' helm as she went with her fist clenched at the Dinobot. "Taste this you piece of CRAP!"

"Ann--!" Praxina hesitated to this time disobey Megatron's command.

Their nasty little Guardian got quite good hit for the Dinobot's faceplate, she sure made it clear that they weren't there to joke around. And... so he would remember not to fool around with them the other time. The Velociraptor's cheek plate was ruined as he fell to the ground with loud groan in pain, while Ann landed safely then. Her fist still clenched.

"You get it already?" Cyclonus threatened with grin, shushing the Dinobots which backed down a bit already. "If we have super powers also."

You teaser.

"Thunderstorm," A dark seeth heard from the cliff above, pretty much every head and helm looked to see who then came. Lots of people while being on the enemy's territory. There jumped a huge figure down, getting the ground shake of the impact. Three other ones came also, only to surround the Cybetronian who just got bad hit from Ann. Speaking of which... Jack had gone her and dragged back to the line. "What is it that you think you are doing?"

"These-- they are intruders!" 'Thunderstorm' pointed at the huge amount of persons, getting these four's head turn back then. The one speaking wisely and looking the biggest one turned fully, trying to ignore the mech behind him. "They did this to me!"

This must be the Leader.

"Well you asked for it!" Savannah snarled back, holding her hips. The Leader type of mech looked at them all just quickly, not understanding what was the meaning of this.

"... Who are you?" He questioned first, taking another step forward. He had some damn badass looking sword at his back! "What are you doing on my territory?"

Yup, clearly the Leader.

"Depends are you in Charge." Praxina shrugged, earning warning looks now. She widened her eyes, quickly going; "What I mean is that... are you their Leader?"

"I am the only King of these woods, designation..." He hesitated, going for Optimus' optics. "Grimlock."

"Is that his name?" Chris snorted very quietly, getting Alex, Will and Jack hit his gut quickly.

"Grim... lock." Iris widened her eyes. By now these four hadn't even seen any sign of the girl until she crawled out of Optimus' hidden digits, nextly getting their attention. "I recognize your voice..." And now 'Grimlock' had his optics quite wide himself. Why did this individual look familiar also?

"... You are that female human back then," Grimlock replied, his other three warriors purred calmly. "The one who helped us to find our young ones."

"We did?" The humans seemed as dumbfounded as the Predacons were.

"You did?" Predaking looked at his Cybetronian friends, who gave apologizing looks. "By Primus."

"May I ask your reason for being here?" Grimlock knelt down like for a child once Optimus settled Iris down, the Leader leaving his warm palm. But her Guardian was convinced that the biggest and strongest Dinonot wasn't going to harm her, so he allowed her to go. "We are in your debt."

"... We require your help," Iris glanced back to get her team-mates lower their weapons which they did, she felt also relaxed once Grimlock motioned his troopers to calm down. "I've collected troopers for Great-War, as for our allies--" Iris looked at Galvatron who moved little to show Grimlock who Iris was talking of. "We have shared forces with Galvatron thus Predacons in order to defeat this world's chaos bringer; Unicron," The look Grimlock gave told that he had ran into this person, his growls grew louder behind that face mask of his. "With these numbers of your armada... I bet we could be able to end him once and for all."

"He is the one destroying my territory?" Grimlock asked, getting Optimus nod behind Iris. He growled again, clenched his fist as he stood up. Turning his back for them for a second. "... Very well."

-- This fast?

"Really?" Iris' eyes lighted up, Galvatron couldn't believe how such small human could be such great help.

"We owe it for our young ones," Probably Grimlock's SIC said, not failing Iris of showing his greatfullness. "They deserve a life in this world."

"Not only that." Grimlock interrupted, glancing back at Iris and her humongous group. "He has brought so much harm and misery for this world and the other, that he must be defeated this time properly."

"We must seal him." John came forward, oh the ways he had though of ending Unicron. "With powerful spell, then we will burn his spark."

"Why not burn all of him?" Chromia growled.

"That would be a fine idea." Drift soon replied, grabbing a firm hold of his sword. "But getting him killed first..."

"We shouldn't discuss of it here," Optimus looked back at them once, until down at Iris who had now her attention. "Not at least if we are earsdropped."

"Do we have now everything we need for tomorrow?" Rosalie asked... tomorrow.

Is tomorrow going to be our doom's day?

It's coming too soon.

Way too soon.

Grimlock's ear twitched, as his helm shot up.

"You all," His sword was smoothly drawned out, as he shielded himself with it. "Get low!"

Optimus lent forward and covered Iris, while the other Cybetronians followed their lead. Plasma rain. For the Dinobots-- they prepared for the incomings, and got to shield their Leader who was blocking now some heavy shot plasmas. Who was it?

"-- ROSALIE!" Will and Solar screamed, after the girl was gone in finger snap. They looked after the fast flash, seeing totally unknown male human now running, a grin wore his face as the unconscious Rosalie hanged on his shoulder. "You little shit!"

Megatron's reaction to fast movement had luckily improved as he smashed his servo to the ground beside Praxina; he prevented her kidnapper of getting her. It was black haired male human with purple eyes, his face cold as death. But the ex-Warlord gave a scrap of him while he tried to punch him into a pancake this time, but saw he jumping away. The second time he came from the back, but by then even Praxina threw her punch back with growl. She crawled closer for Megatron's knelt hips, gritting her teeth together.

"This isn't good..." Her words sounded worried.

"They're-- Unicron's minions!" Jack growled, transforming then as an antibody attacked on him. "Fuck!"

"Ann!" Causeway saw her launching to help Jack but she got pushed away really hard... so she hit a tree quite badly. Then the figure stopped beside her lifeless body, it was this time a woman with brunette hair. She looked too calm also, only rose Ann on her shoulder as took off. "NO!"

"Are they after the girls!?" Chris tried to chase after Ann's taker but got worse impact for his gut. It was a powerful punch, but he swung his elbow right back. Damn-- where had Unicron got such strong equals for them!?

"If that's the case...!" Moonracer growled, turning for Optimus who was shielding Iris still of the plasmas, Megatron who did everything in his power not to let small human get his loved one, Predaking who just tried to keep Savannah away from the ground, and Drift who simply shut Katie into his chest. The rest four female humans were left to take...! "What are you waiting for guys!?" Those words, got the mechs zone out of their trance. "GO!"

Optimus got up like thunder, running for his life Iris in his tight held palm. Megatron, Predaking and Drift followed after; as for their followers--

John saw the person he expected to see going for Iris, his hand grabbing hold of his head as he slammed his son to the ground. John stayed above him, sitting on Zero who grunted out in pain and frustration.

"Not so fast." He warned, glancing up to see Lucy take down Praxina's follower while Mira took Katie's and... Emily with Ash got Savannah's.

"Is someone chasing us?" Megatron asked, these four mechs running side by side along some huge vallyes or... on a clearance where they could see woods and rivers go down by. Optimus and others looked back, growling. Some upgraded looking Cyber-Forms were following after them, even fired.

"That bastard!" Praxina growled, Unicron really getting on her nerves this time.

"One's still on us." Predaking said, seeing pretty small but fast running human after them. It was again one War-baby.

"We must separate," Drift said, concentrating only how to get himself and his friends out of this trouble. "This way we are will only be an easy catch."

"In that case--" Megatron slided down the slippy cliff down, landing quite heavily but he kept going.

"Megatron!" Iris called, unsure was this so wise. But her eyes glared back, now there was more humans on them. "Allow me to do one trick." She pleaded, Optimus hesitated first. But he settled her anyway on his shoulder, still keeping a hold of her legs as he kept running. He had ever run so fast in his entire life-cycle like now and before. Iris got her blaster from her back as loaded it up, seeing new button as she pressed it down. Thank you Galvatron. "Alright, girls... why don't we show them little piece of mind?"

Savannah followed her lead, as Katie somehow managed to crawl out. They had their blasters up, this was gonna do the trick as the next intersection comes for Drift or Predaking to go. If their 'separate from the group' could work out.

"Take this!" Savannah took the glory of starting first, Iris aimed properly as begun to pull her trigger down. She almost hit a fast individual on her heels, now she concentrated even more. The war-babies just kept coming.

"Too fast!" Katie bit her lip, shooting five on this time. The one chasing her suddenly increased speed, getting Iris' attention. Despite of her tries the man jumped up like a freaking monkey, as roughly grabbed Katie's head and pulled her down. They froze by this, as Optimus slowed to stop with Drift and Predaking. "Agh!" She had been pinned down, as her neck was pressed so she fell unconscious.

"KATIE!" Savannah screamed, Iris couldn't tolerate this any longer. She stood up properly, taking her Cyber-Limb on while transformed it for her second blaster... now she got two. She aimed for Katie's harmer, letting out a pained yell until she begun to fire him with all she got. Throughout all her tries it did show some progress, but not enough since the man got Katie and ran away. With holes in his body. "-- Oi! IRIS!"

Iris swung her leg back, only to get it grabbed. She felt angry and frustrated and was ready to fight back with everything she got, until...

"It's your bed time, Iris." What a deep... familiar voice. Iris froze as the man still held her leg and broke little up for her to see... it was the time to feel breathless. "Don't you think it's time to come home?"

D...

Dad.

"Y-You!" Iris gasped bad time, Optimus with the loudest roar managed to chase the man off of his shoulder. As to release Iris who looked shocked and... looking for an answer. Optimus transformed his blaster out, only to feel Iris grab on it with plead. "No Optimus please-- Dad!?"

"Dad?" Predaking tasted the word, snarl leaving his throat.

"So, every of your relative is an enemy?" Savannah found some sarcasm in here also.

"He's not--!"

"We cannot chit-chat any longer, sweetie." That huge muscular man offered his hand forward, getting Iris all worked up as her tears came up. "You must come with me peacefully."

"We take the girl," The woman standing behind Iris' Father said, until he himself grabbed her shoulder.

"This one's all mine," He got death-look glimm in his purple eyes, which the woman swallowed hardly about. "Anyone who interrupts will answer to me."

"Yes, sir." She replied, turning for Savannah and Predaking.

"RUN!" Savannah gulped, grabbing hold of Predaking's spikes on his chest as he made run for it. Unicron's troopers after.

"Dad, listen to yourself!" Iris growled, refusing to raise her blaster and shoot at him. He was there-- alive! "What happened... Why are you doing this!?"

"Iris, he isn't your Father." Optimus tried to calm her down, and surely it was working. "If he has chosen the wrong side."

"Everyone makes mistakes." The deep voiced man said, starting to walk forward. Optimus tensed and like automatically stepped back. He didn't want to upset Iris any further. She had to stay focused. "But this gives me the chance to finally be with my children, John isn't so easy to be convinced." Iris sobbed, hating this kind of him. "Sweetie, you coming volunteeringly?"

Iris rose her blaster up, through the pain her heart was taking. It pointed at his face now, as she was ready to press the trigger. Working for Galvatron was fine for John, but Unicron... he was totally another person to deal with. He was bad, evil. Merciles killer. Ruthless ruler and... he enjoyed to kill. He cares for no one.

That's a God damn Devil himself.

"I'm not leaving my mech behind." Iris growled, Optimus now got his blaster back up. By this her Father laughed evilly out loud, pointing his finger between Optimus and Iris.

"You mean-- my daughter does have a fìànce!" The man took sudden mood change, his face going dark. "Some time apart doesn't harm the relationship... but actually strongers it!"

Iris saw only a flash of something.

Fast!

The Leader had nothing else to say... as the fact that someone knocked her and Optimus out.

Father...
