Ratchet had confirmed that they were mentally stable and Prowl confirmed that they were telling the truth, but Optimus remained a tad skeptic about Vorton. His thoughts were interrupted by his office\u2019s door chime. \u201cCome in,\u201d he bid. The door opened to reveal Richard. \u201cMr. Saunders, what can I do for you?\u201d asked Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve just finished my tour of the base,\u201d replied Richard. \u201cHolo-suites, starships, transporters, warp drive, this almost feels like&nbsp;<em>Star Trek<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe similarities ARE staggering,\u201d chuckled Optimus. \u201cI suppose I\u2019m an unofficial member of Starfleet.\u201d He then got a faraway look. \u201cAlthough, then again, Starfleet would be on my aft for breaking the Prime Directive. Mobius isn\u2019t considered advanced enough sufficiently. It only recently discovered warp travel with our help and is still divided.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI usually have a problem with that bit of thinking when it comes to the Prime Directive,\u201d interjected Richard. \u201cHow is any civilization to determine if another is advanced enough for First Contact. Forgive me if I sound combative in saying this, but I feel that line of thinking is arrogant.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat if that civilization is still divided?\u201d asked Optimus. \u201cWhat if said civilization still believes in gods?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Bajorans worshipped gods,\u201d argued Richard, \u201cand they were a warp-capable species. They\u2019ve had interstellar flight since Earth\u2019s 16<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;century. They\u2019re Federation allies, as well. Besides, don\u2019t you carry an item of religious significance?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTouch\u00e9,\u201d remarked Optimus, conceding Richard\u2019s point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cStill, there were reasons the Prime Directive was instituted,\u201d continued Richard. \u201cTo instantly transform (if you\u2019ll pardon the word choice) a society with technology is disastrous. How did Picard put it?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2018The Prime Directive is not just a set of rules; it is a philosophy&#8230;and a very correct one,\u2019\u201d quoted Optimus. \u201c\u2018History has proven again and again that whenever mankind interferes with a less developed civilization, no matter how well intentioned that interference may be, the results are invariably disastrous.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c&#8230;I\u2019m stunned you could quote him so easily,\u201d gulped Richard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<em>Next Generation<\/em>&nbsp;is my favorite&nbsp;<em>Star Trek<\/em>&nbsp;series,\u201d explained Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI prefer&nbsp;<em>Deep Space 9<\/em>,\u201d mused Richard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat about your thoughts on&nbsp;<em>Voyager<\/em>?\u201d asked Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNot my favorite series,\u201d replied Richard. \u201cDon\u2019t get me wrong, I enjoyed seeing races outside the Alpha Quadrant, but some of the episode plots seemed contrived, even for&nbsp;<em>Star Trek<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know, I thought it was good enough to be my second favorite&nbsp;<em>Star Trek&nbsp;<\/em>series,\u201d mused Optimus. Just then, his desk chirped. He pressed the comms button. \u201cYes?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI just heard laser fire,\u201d reported Prowl. \u201cIt\u2019s from a lady using red slime and some sort of Elf. They\u2019re attacking a human, a Mermaid, a Drider, and another Elf.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI wonder if our mythic friends would know how to deal with them,\u201d mused Richard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOnly one way to find out,\u201d declared Optimus. \u201cRatchet, punch in Prowl\u2019s coordinates for the Ground Bridge. Have Queen Hanako meet us before we leave. Richard, want to come along?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLet me just get Sheela and Lukas,\u201d replied Richard. They both headed out of the office as Richard called up Sheela and Lukas. They were informed of the situation and met him and Optimus, along with Bashoon, Melandra, and Hanako, in the Command Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cUnfortunately,\u201d began Hanako, \u201cthe lady in red slime and the Elf accompanying her are familiar to us. The lady is Reb Rojam, Fleet Admiral of the Scarlet Stream Pirates. The Elf is her husband, Calzax Melgem the Sea Elf. Melgem was part of a plot to lure my daughter and her crew to Reb\u2019s stronghold so she could ransom the ship and crew off to Realmfleet.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAn unsavory lady, I see,\u201d remarked Richard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCliffjumper, Ratchet, you\u2019re with me,\u201d ordered Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBashoon, Melandra, you\u2019re going with him, as am I,\u201d directed Hanako, since she was the one in charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYour Majesty, I must protest,\u201d objected Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYour objection is noted, I\u2019m still going with you,\u201d insisted Hanako. Optimus sighed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cVery well,\u201d he answered. Optimus, Cliffjumper, Ratchet, Hanako, Bashoon, Melandra, Richard, Lukas, and Sheela then waited for the Ground Bridge to open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCoordinates set,\u201d reported Teletraan 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cActivate,\u201d ordered Optimus. The Ground Bridge vortex then opened. \u201cTransform and roll out!\u201d called Optimus. Richard squeed a little as Optimus, Cliffjumper, and Ratchet changed shape and accepted their passengers. They sped through the Ground Bridge and arrived in a mountain basin. Prowl gave his exact location over a secure channel and the Autobots moved in that direction. Prowl was in vehicle mode, his holo-form observing the fight. The Autobots\u2019 holo-forms and their new allies joined him. Richard was confused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhy don\u2019t you guys spook the attackers with your robot modes?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d advise a brief transformation if we\u2019re going to do that,\u201d warned Cliffjumper as he handed Optimus a scanner with its readings displayed. Optimus\u2019 eyeridges shot up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYeah, that\u2019s a pretty high local Energon density count,\u201d he remarked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI take it there\u2019s too much Energon in this area?\u201d guessed Richard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOn this planet,\u201d elaborated Ratchet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd prolonged exposure to the Energon\u2019s radiation while in your robot modes,\u201d continued Richard, \u201cwill cause you to short out?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYep,\u201d confirmed Optimus. \u201cWe may need Energon for power, but this is too much of a good thing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNot to distract you from your health,\u201d interjected Hanako, \u201cbut we DO have people from my universe to save.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWarning shots,\u201d ordered Optimus. The Autobots pulled out their weapons and fired over the aggressors\u2019 heads. The Sea Elf, Melgem, saw where the shots came from and pointed at that spot once Reb\u2019s attention was grabbed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy DEAR friends,\u201d she called, \u201cthis matter does not concern you! I am dealing with those who would keep me from my BELOVED prize!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cStand down, ma\u2019am,\u201d directed Richard. \u201cWe\u2019re only after the people you\u2019re attacking.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRealmfleet has decided to interfere again!\u201d argued Melgem. \u201cWe will not stand down!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re not this&#8230;Realmfleet you think we are,\u201d countered Prowl, \u201cjust concerned people wanting to keep things from escalating.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m afraid escalation is, REGRETFULLY, the only option here,\u201d declared Reb as she leveled her flintlock at the group. Optimus sighed, as did Richard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAll right, we escalate!\u201d called Hanako as she moved from her cover and summoned several orbs of light, one from each tail and one in her palm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAh, Queen Hanako Royana,\u201d chuckled Reb, slightly nervous. \u201cYour GRACIOUS Majesty, as I have said, this DREADFUL matter does not&#8230;\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHenshin!\u201d called Richard as he changed into Kamen Rider Guard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c&#8230;Okay, that\u2019s a TINY bit worrying,\u201d mused Reb. \u201cHowever, I am sure you are MOST&#8230;\u201d she then heard Optimus change into robot mode. Ratchet, Cliffjumper, and Prowl followed suit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHenshin!\u201d called Lukas and Sheela as they became Kamen Riders K\u00e4mpfer and Claw. Bashoon and Melandra then drew their wands. Reb and Melgem\u2019s expressions turned to those of concern. Reb then dropped her wand and had her slime make a pair of appendages come up in a surrendering fashion. Melgem dropped his wand and followed suit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cUhm, parlay?\u201d gulped Reb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>After the whole situation was explained, Reb and Melgem were sharing a cell within G.U.N HQ. The people she and Melgem were attacking were identified as Shalvey, the Mermaid Communications officer for the&nbsp;<em>Endeavor<\/em>, Thengo, the Drider Counselor, Foresna, a human and one of Gorfanth\u2019s spouses, and a Mid-realm Stone Elf named Twaldar Endri. Reb used her slime to envelop Melgem so she could sit on his lap and allow him to hug her core body. Normally, she would be more at ease. Today, however, was not going to allow that. She always felt eyes on her, but when she looked up, her guard, Bashoon, was reading a book. Reb growled, then stood up. \u201cEnsign Bashoon, a word,\u201d she demanded. Bashoon looked up from her book. \u201cWhat, PRAY tell, are you doing?\u201d asked Reb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cReading a book,\u201d replied Bashoon as her gaze returned to the book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou and I both know that\u2019s a VILE lie!\u201d hissed Reb. \u201cWhenever I\u2019m not looking at you, I always feel your PIERCING gaze. Tell me, did you volunteer to watch me because of that DREADFUL business at my stronghold about a year ago?\u201d Bashoon slammed her book shut and stood up, giving Reb her full attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou tricked the full crew compliment of an&nbsp;<em>Dauntless<\/em>-class skyship,\u201d she snarled, \u201cdrugged us, imprisoned us with intent to ransom us, then tried to kill us when we tried to escape!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThen we learned that it was a HEINOUS Splitter Plot,\u201d argued Reb, \u201cand put aside our differences to stop them!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFive crewmembers died as a result!\u201d retorted Bashoon. \u201cIf you hadn\u2019t tricked us, they would be returning to their families! So, you can either put up with me staring at you or another member of the crew! Either way, we\u2019re not letting you out of our sight again!\u201d She then opened her book again, this time, not even hiding the fact she was glaring at them over the edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHow long are we in here for?\u201d asked Melgem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d say at least three days, give or take an hour,\u201d replied Bashoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn that case,\u201d declared Melgem as he took out a pack of cards, \u201cwe better do something to occupy our time. Care for a game of poker?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not playing cards,\u201d muttered Bashoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI can teach you,\u201d urged Reb. \u201cIt\u2019s SHOCKINGLY simple in its complexity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLet me put it in clearer terms,\u201d growled Bashoon, \u201cI don\u2019t WANT to play cards at this point in time. Even if I did, I don\u2019t want to play with YOU!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAfraid you\u2019ll lose?\u201d quizzed Melgem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA true Goblin never fears failure, especially from a mere game,\u201d scoffed Bashoon. \u201cI\u2019d just rather read and keep an eye on you for now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c&#8230;You know, I always thought that a Goblin\u2019s INHERENT dissatisfaction stemmed from the fact that you ALL believe it to be culturally immoral to go into OTHER fields besides business,\u201d remarked Reb. \u201cYou always attach profit to EVERY single thing under the sun. You feel a need to attach a price to ALL aspects of life, thus limiting whatever GLORIOUS gifts you have. But, you\u2019re not a businesswoman, are you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t exactly have that aptitude, no,\u201d replied Bashoon, deciding to indulge Reb in that respect, \u201cI prefer keeping the peace just for the sake of keeping the peace.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy point is,\u201d continued Reb, \u201cyou CHOSE to do something outside of business! You were the one who decided to join Realmfleet and was lucky enough to have the LOVING support of parents who held to traditional Goblin beliefs! They encouraged you to find your OWN path! Life is yours for the taking, you just need to GRAB it! But, have you done that since you joined Realmfleet? No, because, Goblin or not, you would still be the same, a MISERABLE, self-loathing misanthrope! That\u2019s who YOU are, and that\u2019s what you\u2019ll ALWAYS be.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c&#8230;Just for that, I\u2019m REALLY not playing cards with you,\u201d grumbled Bashoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFine, then we will sit in UTTER silence for three days,\u201d remarked Reb. Bashoon returned to her book at that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c&#8230;What are you reading?\u201d asked Melgem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNothing that would interest you,\u201d replied Bashoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t be so sure,\u201d chuckled Reb as a slimy tendril grabbed the book and brought it into the cell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cReb, give that back!\u201d barked Bashoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat will you do, arrest me?\u201d snarked Reb. \u201cNow, this looks like a DELIGHTFUL play here. Let\u2019s see, Melgem, why don\u2019t you read this Hamlet character and I\u2019ll read Queen Gertrude?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s see,\u201d mused Melgem as he looked at the scene. \u201cThou wretched, rash, intruding fool, farewell! I took thee for thy better: take thy fortune; thou find&#8217;st to be too busy is some danger. Leave wringing of your hands: peace! Sit you down, and let me wring your heart; for so I shall, if it be made of penetrable stuff, if damned custom have not brass&#8217;d it so that it is proof and bulwark against sense.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat have I done that thou darest wag thy tongue in noise so rude against me?\u201d answered Reb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSuch an act that blurs the grace and blush of modesty, calls virtue hypocrite, takes off the rose from the fair forehead of an innocent love and sets a blister there, makes marriage-vows s false as dicers&#8217; oaths: oh, such a deed as from the body of contraction plucks the very soul, and sweet religion makes a rhapsody of words: heaven&#8217;s face doth glow: yea, this solidity and compound mass, with tristful visage, as against the doom, is thought-sick at the act!\u201d read Melgem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAy me, what act that roars so loud and thunders in the index?!\u201d replied Reb in a fearful tone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOkay, thank you!\u201d snapped Bashoon as she snatched the book through the bars and returned to her seat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI was wrong,\u201d chuckled Reb, \u201cthere ARE layers of mystery and GLORIOUS intrigue about you!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou know, if that kind of thing is up your ally,\u201d mused Melgem, \u201cI could be persuaded to sell you my copy of&nbsp;<em>The Son\u2019s Torment<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a well-known fact,\u201d growled Bashoon, \u201cthat most remarriages result in the child feeling like the parent that married again has betrayed their original partner in some way, shape, or form! Often, it can result in blood! I\u2019m reading this to gain access to a criminal mind!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s no blood in&nbsp;<em>The Son\u2019s Torment<\/em>,\u201d replied Reb, \u201cbut it\u2019s still a most WONDERFUL play!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGive it up, you two,\u201d hissed Bashoon. \u201cYou can annoy me, outrage me, insult me, whatever you wish. In the end, I\u2019m still comforted by the fact that you\u2019re beaten! When all is said and done, I\u2019ll be laughing as you two are declared guilty and sent to a penal colony!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat trial HASN\u2019T happened yet!\u201d snarled Reb, annoyed by the fact that Bashoon was acting so smug with her. \u201cIt\u2019s still a LONG way off! A lot can happen in three days!\u201d A slimy tendril then snaked its way towards the bars. Just as it was about to go between them, a forcefield activated and sent a shock through it. The tendril retreated and Reb released a yelp of pain as the slime was part of her body. Both she and Melgem looked at the tendril as it regenerated, then glared at the smirking Goblin Ensign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Optimus sat in his office, catching up on paperwork and grumbling about it all the while. \u201cForms, requests, reports,\u201d he muttered, \u201cI swear it never ends! Maybe this is why I was so hesitant to accept the Matrix in the first place. I knew there was going to be an excessive amount of paperwork!\u201d He finally finished the day\u2019s work and leaned back in his chair, sighing in relief. \u201cThank Primus!\u201d he whispered. As he was about to take a quick stasis nap right then and there, a golden flash appeared on his desk. He noticed that the resulting light faded and formed a folded piece of paper that could fit in a Transformers\u2019 hand. Part of it had his name on it, so he unfolded it and looked at the contents. His name was in fancy font and colored gold with black lines and he noticed trim around the contents of the paper colored in red, blue, purple, pink, and green. Five roses broke up the contents in a circle. Going clock wise, the roses were pink, blue, green, purple, and red. A circle rested in the center of the roses, divided into five and each segment colored the same as the roses. Optimus blinked as he read the paper aloud. \u201c\u2018Optimus Prime. You are cordially invited to participate in the 590,492nd&nbsp;<u>Verse Vs. Verse Rumble Royale<\/u>, graciously hosted by the Chizaran Princesses. Declare (with no doubts in your mind) your acceptance and details will be made clear. Congratulations and, should you accept, welcome!\u2019\u201d His optics flickered, another blink. \u201c&#8230;Okay, assuming this isn\u2019t some prank, I would like some details about this and&#8230;\u201d he was interrupted by five lights flashing. They then formed the Chizaran Princesses. Verdutha spoke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Verse Vs. Verse Rumble Royale is a tournament,\u201d she explained. \u201cWithin every reality is one best suited to defend those realities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSo, I\u2019m not the only one?\u201d asked Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNo,\u201d replied Azuliterii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat does it mean, aside from the fact that we\u2019re invited to a tournament?\u201d quizzed Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt means that we want to see how well you would fare against other opponents,\u201d answered Rosadera. \u201cYou are under no obligation to join, but if you do, you will have the opportunity to test your abilities against other powerful individuals and make an attempt at a great prize.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs of now, First Place prize is undecided,\u201d continued Moradelia. \u201cTo ensure you all fight well, we will not reveal the Second or Third Place prizes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAll battles are non-lethal,\u201d supplied Rojenthi, \u201cand participation is voluntary. Should you be victorious, you will be awarded this great prize. Defeat brings only as much dishonor as you allow yourself. If you have any questions, speak now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHow long do I have to decide?\u201d asked Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou have until you unite with Megumi Hishikawa and Arsha Royana,\u201d replied Rosadera. \u201cWe will see you again, Optimus Prime.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWait, who are you?!\u201d called Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI am Rojenthi, the Red Princess of Chizara, and the war-time leader,\u201d began Rojenthi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI am Azuliterii, the Blue Princess of Chizara, and the technological leader,\u201d continued Azuliterii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI am Rosadera, the Pink Princess of Chizara, and the peace-time leader,\u201d introduced Rosadera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI am Verdutha, the Green Princess of Chizara, and the environmental leader,\u201d called Verdutha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd I am Moradelia, the Purple Princess of Chizara, and the history leader,\u201d finished Moradelia. The Five Chizaran Princesses vanished in lights of their respective colors. Optimus was alone in his office once again. He was about to call Prowl when Teletraan 1 appeared on his screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOptimus, a Lieutenant Skyfall has arrived,\u201d he reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSkyfall? What\u2019s she doing here?\u201d asked Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAutobot Intelligence told her to personally give you their report,\u201d replied Teletraan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHave her come to my office,\u201d ordered Optimus.
