Vol. 1 Ch. 3: More Than Meets The Eye
I don't own the series The Loud House or the Transformers or any of the car brands, make, and models in this story. The Loud House is created by Chris Savino for Nickelodeon, Transformers is owned by Hasbro, and all vehicles named or described are owned by their proper companies.
Last Time: After Lincoln Loud and his friends had witnessed a battle between the Autobots Bumblebee, Hot Rod, Jazz, and Chromia fighting the Vehicons, the Decepticon foot soldiers. They met Optimus Prime asked them to learn more about this world through the view of the youth of this world, and after learning about the strange box that was inside Bumblebee, Lincoln questions the object's origins.
It was around sunset in royal woods, a black and yellow 1990 muscle car drove down the street, passing by small stores around the town. But this wasn't a simple car, no it was the Autobot Bumblebee with his human companion, Lincoln Loud. It has been a few days since Lincoln first met the other Autobots along with his friends.
Lincoln would then release one of his hands from the wheel to reach into a bag to pull out a hamburger, but before he could eat it, but stopped due to someone talking to him. "Lincoln Loud, don't you think you should keep your hands on the wheel to keep up the misdirection of making others think you are driving?" Said the voice of Perceptor. Lincoln turned the passenger seat with a very high-tech red microscope on it, with the body tube turned to make the objective lens face Lincoln like they were a pair of eyes. Lincoln then put the burger back.
"So, Perceptor, what do you think of the box?" Lincoln asked.
"Well, it does seem interesting. I don't think the material is something I have seen before. I'll need to take a much closer look at it. Are we at that location you suggested?" Said the Autobot Perceptor, as he was the microscope in the front passenger seat.
"We're close, it used to be this good gas station I once worked at, but the owner was arrested for health code violations and Tax evasion. No one uses it, so it should be an okay place to look at the box, but why not back at the Ark?" Said Lincoln.
"Well, you see, if the object in question is what we think it is in origin, then it would be for the best to study it away from our base. Mainly in an area that is large for me to work in and privately." Perceptor said to Lincoln as the ladder opened the glove box to see the box in question.
Lincoln couldn't tell what the symbols on the box were, but then he found out after looking at it more and found out that if seen at an angle, the symbols make the Decepticon symbol, a purple triangular face with horns the best way Lincoln could describe it.
Lincoln had thought back to first finding out about the symbols making the Decepticon symbol; he was surprised by that fact and had told Optimus over his communicator. Optimus had told him just to stay calm and wait until Perceptor would be ready to investigate it with another Autobot that was away. Now that Autobot was called and prepared to help with learning about the box.
Perceptor had told Lincoln that it could take all night for them to research the box, so Lincoln had to tell his family that he would spend the night at Clyde's house, which they had believed and agreed to due to it not being a school night. "Alright, we're here," Lincoln said as they pulled up to an abandoned gas station called Flip's Food & Fuel.
Before shutting down, the last owner Flip had installed some Auto garages on the side of the gas station, but it was made with cheap materials and could fall apart quickly. The owner Flip was arrested for crimes but after the court ruled them guilty, they had a heart attack and passed away.
Lincoln then exited Bumblebee and opened the garage door to let Bumblebee inside. After they get in and park Lincoln closed the garage door and then opened the side door of Bee to grab both the box and Perceptor. The ladder that said "Perceptor, Transform!" turned back into his robot mode and soon followed after Bumblebee did too and said, "Bumblebee, Transform!" To also turn into his robot mode.
"Alright, this place will do, Lincoln, let me see the box," Perceptor said as Lincoln handed him the box in his hand. Perceptor then transformers again, this time into a much larger microscope with the box on the stage. "Hmm, there isn't much about the box that stands out. The atoms are in a normal state, the material is simple Cybertitanium. Although it does seem to be mixed with Micro changing technology."
"'Micro changing tech'? That's the tech that lets you change your mass, right?" Lincoln asked.
"Well, yes, this ability is called Mass-shifting, the power to change your size. To make us change to a miniature version of our alt modes, we can even stay the same size if we wanted to, it is a fascinating ability, and this tech is something I haven't seen before but I'm afraid I do not know what it is used for. Who knows what is in here, as the old saying goes, there is more than meets the eye." So Perceptor explained to Lincoln with him only understanding most of it.
Lincoln's communicator then started to go off meaning that someone is trying to contact them, he then answers it. "Hello?"
"Is this Lincoln Loud?" Said the voice on the other line, the voice sounded to be a little tight, like as if they are nervous about something.
"Yes, that is me. Are you the Decepticon tech expert Optimus said he'd sent?"
"That is correct, I am locked onto your location and can see it, just open the garage door to let me in, I'll land right outside." Said the voice on the other line.
"Alright." Lincoln said as he started to open the garage door until he remembered the Autobot on the other line said 'land'. When Lincoln opened the door, what was in front of him wasn't a normal Autobot, but it looked like a giant orange bird with golden markings, and how its back looked like golden cannons. 'Is this a Cybertron bird or something?' Lincoln thought to himself.
"Greetings, human, Optimus had told you about my arrival, I am Sundor." Said the Autobot named Sundor.
Sundor
-Autobot
- Orange and gold Mini-Cassette
-He acts like he isn't afraid of the dark, but he is
Sundor then enters the garage to look at the object, with Lincoln closing the garage door once again. "So, what do you think it is?" Bumblebee said to the giant metal bird who saw the box and looked at it with interest.
"I know what this is, this is an old Storage Cube, used to hold an item no matter the size for transport, but it seems it was upgraded to hold a much larger object." The Autobot named Sundor said as he looked at the box closer. "But there is something unusual about this one."
Lincoln then thought they had things covered and told Bumblebee that he would just go outside and stretch his legs. When no one was noticing, one of the sides of the box changed the symbols on it to make a diamond shape that glows purple, the eye of the one inside the box.
Lincoln stepped outside of the garage for stretching and for some sunlight and thought about the past few days of meeting Bee and the other Autobots and their home world. It was a lot to take in and so much he still couldn't believe it, he thought it was all a strange dream or something bizarre, but it was all too real.
Without even knowing, Lincoln didn't know that someone or something was watching him, it was a blue armored SUV without a driver, but the car was watching him, this was a Decepticon who followed the Autobots here. "The Autobots have stopped. They have one human with them. Ravage, Laserbeak eject. Operation: Assault." Said the SUV with their voice sounding robotic and toneless. The back door of the armored SUV opened, but not up or the door splitting apart like normal but popped or extended out and two large rectangular objects with two holes in them were launched out. "Go and attack the human."
Lincoln then pulled out his phone to text his friends to see how they are doing, but in the reflection of the phone a swift bird-like object flew past him, it looked almost like Sundor but was gone before Lincoln could even turn around. Lincoln then heard something around the corner of the garage, like something heavy landed on the ground and started to walk making heavy footsteps.
Lincoln's instinct told him to do one thing; Runaway and get to safety, it was basic human instinct that kept humans alive for years. But as tried to run away something was dashing at him from behind and Lincoln ducked down, in the back of his head he thanked Lynn Jr. for teaching him how to move fast to avoid getting hit. Whatever it was about to crash into him jumped over him as it was going to pounce at him.
Lincoln got back up and saw what it was, it was like a robotic panther with silver-colored legs and had the Decepticon symbol on both of its forelegs and had what looked like blasters on its sides above the hind legs. "You're a fast one, for an organic." Said the robotic Panther with an intimidating voice that had some respect for Lincoln's skill to dodge.
"Ravage, best not to complement your prey." Said another voice, this one was from around the corner, and it was a giant robotic bird that looks just like Sundor, the only difference was both its cold voice and its color with it being mostly pitch black with red markings and silver cannons.
"Sorry Laserbeak, an old habit when I encounter a primitive lifeform that can survive my attacks." Said the Decepticon now named Ravage and Lincoln knew the other one named Laserbeak, Lincoln could already tell just what they can do by their names.
Ravage
-Decepticon
-Black and silver Mini-Cassette
-A skilled hunter that will strike before even being seen
Laserbeak
-Decepticon
-Black and Red Mini-Cassette
-A deadly spy that will take their time before attacking
"I'll take care of him." Said Ravage as he was about to once again going to attack Lincoln like a wild beast attacking its prey without remorse. Lincoln was too scared to move or even think, what would you do if you saw a beast about to attack you, all Lincoln could do was scream on things, not out of fear but to get help.
"BUMBLEBEE!" Lincoln yelled as they charged him but then a giant robot fist was punched right through the garage door and landed a hit on Ravage sending them flying with force. The garage door was then ripped apart and Bumblebee stepped out with a blaster in hand and fired at Laserbeak and sent it flying.
"Let's roll out!" Bumblebee said as he grabbed Lincoln, who the ladder could see both the Box and the other Autobots; Perceptor and Sundor transformed into their alt modes. "Bumblebee Transform!" Bumblebee said as he changed into his alt mode and started to drive away with both Ravage and Laserbeak getting back up and started to chase after them.
"Thanks, Bee," Lincoln said as he was almost close to who knows what was about to happen to him, he could have been seriously harmed or even killed. "Who or what were those guys?"
"That was Laserbeak and Ravage, the ladder being the right hand-con of another Decepticon named Soundwave." Said Sundor who was in his own Alt mode, he was an old device that Lincoln wouldn't have known existed if his father didn't tell him about it, he was an orange cassette mixtape with the Autobot symbol on the front side along with golden marking.
"Soundwave, Ravage, Laserbeak? Who names these guys?"
"We should try and get them to stop following us so-" Bumblebee said before smacking a hard turn to avoid an incoming laser from Laserbeak, ironically it wasn't from his beak. Bumblebee then saw the same Blue Armored SUV that was spying on Lincoln, and it was following them. "Is that Soundwave, when did he get a new Alt mode, and a vehicle one at that?"
"How are we going to shake these guys?" Said Lincoln.
"I know a way, Lincoln, right? Quick throw me at them!" Sundor said making Lincoln confused about this plan of his, but Sundor just told him to do it. Lincoln then picked him up and stuck his head out of the window and threw the Marco changed Autobot at Laserbeak who easily dodges it. "Sundor Transform!" Sundor said as he changed back to his robot mode and flew right behind Laserbeak. Sundor's back cannons then started to glow and release a powerful energy that hit Laserbeak's left-wing and forced the Decepticon to fall and Crash down. "Hahaha, that was for hitting me back in Iacon!" Said Sundor sounding proud of blasting down the Decepticon.
Ravage then stopped following them and used the blasters in his sides to fire lasers at Sundor while Soundwave was still following them like a savage dog. "Oh, great, he's still following us, At least Sundor is taking care of both Ravage and Laserbeak. How do we shake him?" Said Lincoln who was thinking of some ideas to get away, but Bumblebee thought of some ideas.
Bumblebee drove into an alleyway of buildings and Soundwave soon followed chasing only after the Autobot without knowing that something came out of Bumblebee in a matter of a split second. Lincoln Loud was holding both Perceptor and the box in his hand as they were released from Bumblebee and put behind a dumpster to hide them from Soundwave.
Lincoln and Perceptor then left the alleyway with Lincoln feeling worried for his friend Bumblebee, the two had got to know each other very well. Bumblebee had even told Lincoln more about his home world of Cybertron and the many war stories that he had shared such as how Bee joined the Autobots when the Decepticons attacked his home city of Iacon, and it was Optimus Prime who saved him and most of the other planets near Cybertron.
"Do you think he'll be okay?" Lincoln asked Perceptor who the ladder transformers into his robot mode to walk alongside Lincoln in the empty street.
"Don't worry about Bumblebee, he may have a vehicle mode with a max speed of over 200 MPH, but he can go almost three times that speed," Perceptor said to Lincoln. "Bumblebee also informed me that he told you about some interesting stories from back home, yes?"
"Yeah, he told me about some interesting stuff about Cybertron, but he never told me who leads the Decepticons." Said Lincoln.
"Well, let me inform you about the Decepticon leader, his name is Megatron, and he is single-handedly the most terrifying enemy we Autobots have ever seen. He leads the Decepticons with fear and hatred for the Autobots and anyone who gets in their way."
"So, he's a Dictator?" said Lincoln
"Well... yes, he is a giant monster with a fusion cannon on his right arm and could strike fear into about anyone just by existing," Perceptor said while they continued walking but stopped due to a shake in the ground which was making the two a little off balance. "What in the world is this a shift in the Earth's tectonic plates causing this earth quack? No this is the work of-" Perceptor said before falling down due to the shaking and he turned his head around and saw two small robotic-looking people were behind them.
"Looks like Soundwave was right. They did split up." Said one of the two robots with their voice sound a little high in tone. Their arms however were no normal but looked more like power piledriver slamming the ground. The two were then fully seen, they were identical with small robot bodies, but one was purple and blue armor with a silver marking on the chest that looks like circuitry while the other had black and red armor and gold on their chest.
"Get ready to tumble because here come Rumble!" Said the purple and blue bot as he kept on slamming the ground, their name was Rumble. "Frenzy, you ready," Rumble said to the other identical Decepticon now named Frenzy.
"Yeah, let's kick some tailpipe!"
Rumble and Frenzy
-Decepticons
-Purple and blue Mini-Cassette (Rumble)
-Black and red Mini-Cassette (Frenzy)
-A terrifying Duo who can shake the ground they walk upon
The two then charged at Lincoln and Perceptor to tear them apart. Perceptor then pulled out a blaster and fired hitting the only Frenzy in the arm knocking them off-balanced but Rumble kept going and tackled Perceptor who told Lincoln to run away. Lincoln then ran into an alley to get away. "First we creak the shell..." Rumble said as he was about to use his powerful piledrivers on Perceptor's face to do serious damage on him. "... Then we creak the nuts inside."
Before Rumble could harm Perceptor he was distracted by the charging scream of Lincoln Loud who was running at Rumble with a trashcan and threw it right at Rumble getting garbage all over the Decepticon's face and optics to blind them. Perceptor then got back up and picked up Rumble and threw him at a building.
"Lincoln, I will thank you for saving my life, but I need you to run away from danger. I was caught off guard, but I can easily take these two, you need to stay safe and protect that box." Perceptor said as he started to fire with the blaster right at the two Decepticon, Lincoln wanted to protest but he knew it was going to be a losing argument and it would be for the best as it would help him focus.
Lincoln ran away from the battle that was between the Autobot and the Decepticon and just couldn't look back. He ran and ran for what felt like hours and the sun was even closed, almost making it nighttime. He was thinking about going home but he knew it was a bad idea and the Decepticons could attack him home and he was separated from Bumblebee so it would have made the family ask questions, so he ran near the supermall.
It was like a ghost town with no one in sight and most likely only the security guards inside the mall being the only people. Lincoln then stopped walking and sat down to take a breath and cool down on his stamina was rather low due to him running for a while. "Man, I hope everyone is alright."
Lincoln was thinking about what to do next, Optimus said that they can't bring the box into the base; also known as the Ark, as they have no idea what it can hold. He then remembered the other Autobots in the area and thought of contacting them for help or for a pickup.
But once he used his communicator all he got was static that made an ear-shattering sound that made Lincoln turn his device off without even a second thought because of how painful the sound was. Something wasn't right, what was wrong with it as he used it earlier. Without him even knowing something flew over him, he did hear it but when he looked up, he saw that there wasn't anything above him, but it did sound like a jet.
Lincoln kept on looking up trying to see if he could see whatever it was that made that sound but then he heard something from his communicator that was switched back on as the voice of Jazz could be heard. "Lincoln, this is Jazz, I'm in your area, meet me at the parking garage on the second floor."
"Jazz?! I'm on my way." Said Lincoln as he ran to the newly built parking garage but as he ran his way there, he started to think of a few things, one being how did Jazz know where he was and that he needed help and why didn't he come to him. But it was too late as Lincoln made his way to the second floor and what he found wasn't jazz but a huge-sized blue Boombox.
The boombox then made a sound that sounded just like the voice of Jazz. "You made it, kid." The boombox said as it replayed what it just said but it changed the audio making it sound corrupted or remixed before making the same robotic voice of the stalking Lincoln earlier. "I found you human."
The boombox then started to change into the Armored SUV that was chasing him. "Soundwave, Transformer!" The SUV then changed turning into a large robot body with blue armor all over with a glass case on its chest area, and on its right shoulder looks to be a cylinder-shaped object that looks like a minigun, but the most eye-catching thing about this one was that its head had a helmet that looked exactly like the Decepticon symbol with only the eyes looking like a red line. This is Soundwave.
Soundwave
-Decepticon
-Armored SUV and Boombox
-Soundwave Superior, Autobots Inferior.
Soundwave started to attack Lincoln, who was concerned for Bumblebee as he didn't know what had happened to him. Soundwave had picked up a car and threw it right at Lincoln, which he had dodged for his own safety.
Soundwave was walking towards Lincoln getting ready to strike but was stopped as they took a laser blast to the side, knocking them down for a short time. Lincoln turned his head to see Sundor, who looked worse for wear as they had some burned marks and scratches all over and looked as if they were going to crash.
"Sundor?!" Lincoln said as Sundor flew closer and transformed back into his cassette mode and landed on the ground of the parking garage, Lincoln then picked him up and saw the Autobot was very harmed. He could tell that he wasn't dead or as Bumblebee would put it, offline, as Sundor was still a little warm and made a few sounds. "Are you okay?"
"A little, I just need to rest for a little time. Could you carry me around for the time being?" Said Sundor sounded a little quiet after speaking.
"Don't worry Sundor, I'll get you back to Ratchet," Lincoln said as he got back up but then he heard a jet again, but this time it wasn't moving, he turned his head to see a dark gray and red jet hovering right in front of the parking garage facing Lincoln. Lincoln could only say one thing. "WHAT THE FRAG!" He learned that from Hot Rod two days ago when he said it by accident. Lincoln then ran away to the exit, but the jet just kept following him.
"Starscream, Transform!" Said a voice from the jet, sounding Shrill, high pitched to the point and had the sight tone of mischievous like this voice cannot be trusted.
The jet then started to change, it took a humanoid shape form, but its body was almost like most other Cybertronians Lincoln has seen before, but they had what looked like the cockpit of the jet on their chest and that said chest area was red while their arms and legs were a mix of gray and blue with blaster cannons on each of their arms. Their head looked to have a gray face but also had a black box-shaped helmet. They even had jet wings on their back that had the Decepticon symbol on each one. This Decepticon had a name, and it was Starscream.
Starscream
-Decepticon
-Red and gray Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor
-Someone who will double-cross you for their own gain, and they aren't even a politician
"Whoa, you are scary looking." Said Lincoln as he was ready to make a run for it to get away from the Decepticon enemy only for Lincoln to stop as Soundwave had jumped and landed right in front of Lincoln.
"Leaving so soon, human." Said the Decepticon Starscream as he stepped forward to Lincoln. "Now, be a good little inferior life form and give me that box," Starscream said more aggressively and was about the charge at Lincoln.
Lincoln tried to escape to no avail as the Decepticons tried to corner him every chance they got. Then they came, the other Decepticons he had seen throughout the day, Ravage, Laserbeak, Rumble, and Frenzy all of them looking beat up and angry. "Hey, Soundwave. We got bad news; we lost the Autobots who we were fighting. Sorry, we failed." Said Rumble with their voice sounding defeated.
"It is fine Rumble; we must take care of this human first." Said Soundwave as they all surround Lincoln. Lincoln looked around but then looked down and saw a hubcap, most likely one from a car that Soundwave had thrown a little while ago. He then looked up and saw a car stuck between a wall and the ceiling and could slip and fall at any moment.
"Hey, what's going out here." Said a voice that came from the mall as someone stepped outside, a security guard of the mall using his flashlight to see what was happening. The security guard then saw the giant robots and could only do one thing and react as anyone would after seeing them, scream in fear.
"You're annoying. Human." Starscream said as he pointed his weaponized arm at the security guard ready to fire but was stopped as Lincoln picked up the hubcap and threw it like a frisbee and hit Starscream clean in his eyes blinking him temporarily and causing him slight pain. "AGH! WHAT THE-" Starscream then fire his weapon but missed the security guard and just hit a wall of the mall and Lincoln told the man to run away.
Lincoln then made a run for it and ran towards Frenzy and Rumble, the ladder of which Lincoln pushed into the other knocking them down. "Why that little-" Rumble said as he started to use his piledriver arms. Without knowing what him and Frenzy was above he started to shake the ground and cause the balanced car up above to get loose and fall hitting both Rumble and Frenzy.
Lincoln let out a laugh as that happened, he outsmarted them and was about to get away again. Soundwave was a little injured, along with Ravage and Laserbeak who looked like they were extremely damaged, and that Starscream doesn't look like someone who could stay too close to the ground when chasing someone, so to him he thought he was in the clear. Lincoln Loud was very wrong about that fact.
Something hit the ground, it was a large purple laser blast that caused a huge explosion pushing Lincoln back and knocking them down while still holding on to the box. Everyone looked to where the blast came from and saw someone standing on top of the super mall's rooftop, they had a female figure that looked like a robotic ninja with a purple face mask and belt with the ladder being adorned by yellow multi-pointed stars and had some sort of backpack on their back.
In their hand looked to be a strange-looking handgun, it was a gray Walther P38 pistol with the barrel of the gun being a little longer. "Release me and send me down there." Said a rough and vile voice like it was from someone with endless rage within them. The Robot Ninja then threw the gun into the air and the barrel breaking off, it started to change both form and size, turning into a mostly gray take; an M1 Abrams tank, but with the barrel being much larger and even goes into the head of the tank. As it was still falling the tracks of the tanks started to move, and even glow purple energy and started to fall slower than it did before and just stopped in mid-air. Lincoln could just tell this was a Decepticon but didn't that they were the Decepticon.
"Megatron, Transform!" Said the voice from both the gun and tank, as it changed shape with the barrel breaking off. The tank then took a humanoid form with gray armor, and the black barrel that was on both the tank and the Walther gun was now on their right arm, they then opened their bright red eyes.
Lincoln heard his name and remembered what Perceptor had told him. 'He is a giant monster with a fusion cannon on his right arm and could strike fear into about anyone just by existing.' and now here he is, a giant monster with what Lincoln could only assume is the fusion cannon on their right arm and was striking fear into him by just existing. Lincoln had a good idea of just who this Decepticon was but had to ask: "Are- Are you Megatron?"
The Decepticon, named Megatron smiled not for being known but for being feared by the human. "Yes, I am Lord Megatron."
Megatron
-Decepticon
-M1 Abrams tank and Walther P38
-A monster who rules others with an iron fist, and enjoys striking fear into the hearts of others
"Now, human, normally I wouldn't care about such things as a box, yet when looking into it, I have learned that box you're holding, shouldn't exist. So here is our deal, hand over the box or else." Megatron said making Lincoln terrified and the worst part, Megatron wasn't even trying.
Lincoln had nowhere to run, the Decepticons were all around him and he had no idea what to do. He then checked his watch to see that he got a message, telling him to get down. Lincoln then heard a familiar sound, the ground bridge. Lincoln then ducked down to the ground as behind the Decepticons was a ground bridge that had just opened, and out came, the Alt modes of Bumblebee, Jazz, and Chromia along with three other vehicles, one being a red Freightliner FL86 truck that had crashed into Megatron while the other cars were a White with green and red stripes 2005 model Mustang and the other was a Red and white Search and Rescue Hummer H2.
"Megatron! I will not allow you to harm this human!" Said the voice of Optimus Prime that came right from the truck. "Optimus Prime, Transform!" Said Optimus as he transformed into his robot mode and punched Megatron right in the face.
Lincoln was happy to see the other Autobots coming to his rescue and saw that someone was fighting another. Bumblebee was attacking Starscream with a new black and yellow blaster that matches Bee's colors. Jazz was fighting the Decepticon Soundwave. Chromia was fighting with the robot ninja, and Wheeljack was fighting the Mini-cassettes that worked for Soundwave, but it seemed Wheeljack came prepared as he used a device to make him invisible, vanishing and showing up to strike the Decepticons, and he wasn't fighting alone as a sniper was attacking them too, hitting Frenzy first.
"I'll get Frenzy and Rumble Wheeljack, you take care of Ravage and Laserbeak." Said the voice of Perceptor from his communicator, happy to hear that he was still alive.
The Rescue Hummer then stopped next to Lincoln and the door opened and had Vincent Witwicky inside the driver seat. "Get in kid." Said the voice of Ratchet, the vehicle must have been the Autobot medic. Lincoln then entered and they started to drive away to the ground bridge to escape the action.
"Wait, we're going back to the ark? I thought-" Lincoln said before being interrupted by Ratchet.
"The Decepticons are after you for that box, right now, it doesn't matter if there is something dangerous inside of it." Said Ratchet as they make it to the ground bridge and made to the Autobot base. "Alright, I'm going to turn off the ground bridge, everyone will contact us once the battle is over. Good thing Bumblebee sent us a message telling us that Soundwave stopped following him and was after you. We picked him up and followed your tracking signal."
Ratchet then let both Vincent and Lincoln out of him and said "Ratchet, Transform!" and then turned into his robot mode and started to dash towards a control panel. "So, Lincoln, is your family going to be alright with you out this late?" Vincent asked the white-haired teen.
"Oh, yeah, I told them I'd be at a friend's house tonight. Is it possible I could stay on the Ark for the night?" Said Lincoln.
"This isn't really a place for people to sleep at, trust me, you be up all night with every sound they make. I can get you a bed and place to sleep at the Military base that's only a mile away from the Ark."
"Thanks, Vincent, I would gladly take that offer, I am thinking of sleeping for the whole weekend after the night I just had-" Lincoln said before stopping because the box he was holding started to glow a sinister dark color. "Did this just turn radioactive?"
"Better not, I'm in my fifties but I still have all my hair and I am not getting a bald spot yet."
"The time is FINALLY NOW!" said a voice from the box, it was the same voice that has always been in the box shocking everyone as some sort of energy left the box and went straight to the control panel and made the energy enter the system of the Autobot computer. The box glows even brighter, Lincoln tried to let go but somehow, he could, it was like his fingers were glued to the box.
"Um, I can't let go of the box! HELP!" Said Lincoln as the box started to move and float in the air. Vincent tried to help him, but it started to move on my own. "And we're moving!" said as the box made Lincoln go back into the ground bridge and to the battle surprising most of the Autobots and Decepticon who all looked a little banged up from just the short time of fighting each other and the ground bridge closing on itself.
Lincoln was trying to release his hands from the box, but they were still stuck like a fly on a fly trap, but then he hears the voice again from the box. "It is about time that I awaken, now watch as I rise up!" Said the box which had stopped glowing and Lincoln finally let go of the box and fell on the ground. The box then floated in the air and opened on all sides showing a purple orb inside of it.
The orb then started to release purple lines that stayed connected with it and started to make the shape of a humanoid figure made of machine parts and then gave it a full-on body that looked more alien. Then a blinding light was all that was left and when it was all cleared there stood a giant robot with purple armor along with a pale white face. Their head had cone-shaped with devil horns. Whoever they are, they are not friendly as they have the Decepticon symbol on their chest.
"I am..." Said the new being as it paused from speak and rose their right arm, toxic green energy emitting from its hand taking shape into the form of a sword. A large one edgy blade had emerged in their hand as they wield it. "I am... CYCLONUS!"
Cyclonus
-Decepticon
-Cybertron fighter spacecraft
-An unknown threat who can move like a phantom
The Decepticon, now named Cyclonus, started to run towards Bumblebee but as soon as Bumblebee pointed a weapon at Cyclonus they had started to release the same energy as earlier and then they vanished confusing Bumblebee but then he was felt a slash on his back as Cyclonus was somehow behind him.
Cyclonus then vanished again only to surfaced again, this time in front of Chromia, who the ladder tried to attack with bladed arms she had but the Decepticon she was fighting had caught her by her arms and committed a low kick, knocking her off-balance and being thrown like a ragdoll into the wall of the super mall putting a hole in it and just like before Cyclonus vanished again.
They showed themself once again this time right beside Jazz and were ready to attack them, but Jazz was quick enough to defend themself and grabbed Cyclonus by their wrist and forced them to drop the sword they held. Cyclonus held his other arm back as if he was going to stab Jazz and the same energy appeared and the sword had returned to his other hand and he stabbed the blade into Jazz's right leg, going all the way through and forced him to fall.
Once again Cyclonus vanished but as he did a laser had pasted by right where he was standing and to where the shot came from Cyclonus stood right beside the sniper who was Perceptor and slashed at their sniper rifle, cutting it in two and then vanished once more and reappeared in the middle of the battleground and finally raised their right hand into a fist and did a backhanded punched and hit an invisible Wheeljack who was knocked back and seemed to be knocked out before his invisibility activated again making them unable to be seen. "That was far too easy."
All the Decepticons were at a loss for words, they were swift and effective at taking down all the Autobots in a matter of seconds. Megatron then took this moment and tried to blast Optimus Prime with his Fusion cannon while he was distracted by his comrades in harm's way, but Optimus could feel the rage of Megatron without even looking at his and dodge the blast from the fusion cannon.
Optimus then clutched his hand into a fist, and it started to glow orange energy and just like Bumblebee's stinger his hand changed shape taking the form of an ax made of the energy and slashed at Megatron cutting in between his arm and the cannon, cutting it off with one perfect cut. "It's over Megatron!" Said Optimus as he used his other hand to point a blaster at Megatron.
Before Optimus could even fire his weapon, he heard Lincoln screaming out of fear and he saw that Lincoln was in danger. The Decepticon named Cyclonus was holding him by his torso with one hand and had the sword close to Lincoln's head. "Stand down, Optimus Prime, Megatron's time is not now. The same goes for all of them too."
"Coward, let go of the boy, he has nothing to do with this!" Optimus said with fury towards the Decepticon who dropped their sword and held their hand like they were holding a blaster, and just like that it appeared, and he fired at Optimus' right shoulder knocking them down for the time being.
"Oh, but he does Prime, he is what I need for my plans. My plans to change fate and destiny of the future!" Cyclonus said confusing the Autobot and Decepticon leaders, as what he was saying was like he was implying he knows about the future. "Lord Megatron, You may not know who I am, but I am one of your most loyal soldiers. Trust me when I tell you that Optimus' remaining forces are on their way here, if we do not leave now, then we will be overrun with Autobots."
Megatron looked at the Decepticon who warns him of what is to come, a part of him tells him to not trust the robot who was sounding crazy, yet he didn't want to take such a chance and made a choice. "Decepticons, return back to the Nemesis!" Megatron said as he picked his fusion cannon back up and started to retreat. "Soundwave prepare the Space Bridge! And as for you, Cyclonus, what are you planning to do with that human?"
"All in due time Megatron, all I can say is that he is part of my plans. He could even hold information that you could need, for he has information on him that you want." Cyclonus said as the Decepticons group up.
"Lord Megatron, what are we doing, we can just take them out now!" Said Starscream showing that he was frustrated for the choice to retreat. "And why do you listen to this random Con who just shows up out of nowhere?"
"Silence Starscream, so far they have defeated multiple enemies when you were having trouble against just one human earlier," Megatron said to Starscream who the ladder looked annoyed from Megatron's response.
Optimus then got back to try and go after them, picking up his weapon and charged at them all. "NO! Return the human at once!" He said as he fired a few shots at them trying to save Lincoln. The shots fired were deflected from Cyclonus who used his sword to stop the incoming attack. The other Decepticons were getting ready to fire back but stopped as a ground bridge had opened and out came Hot Rod along with two other Autobots that Lincoln could recognize ad they were both he has never seen before but they both had red armor and one looked just like Bumblebee but only red and a little bigger than him.
"Soundwave, now!" Megatron said as Soundwave's eyes started to glow and a ring appeared above them and it began to lower itself to the Decepticons and after he reached the ground, they were gone, and they took Lincoln Loud with them.
"LINCOLN LOUD! NOOOO!" Optimus said as the Decepticons had not only escaped them but now they have Lincoln at their mercy, and Optimus knew firsthand that they had none.
