There were no Temporal Stops in the Under-realm, so the Endeavor <\/em>and the High Sky<\/em> set a course for the Over-realm\u2019s Drelda Forest. They were shrunk down and guided into the Capital Tree\u2019s shipyards. All of the new visitors were a little stunned at the shrinking spells used to make them fit in the Tree. \u201cAh, it\u2019s so good to be at my natural height!\u201d sighed Rellmeer. \u201cI\u2019ve already told my people about our visitors, both organic and mechanical.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThen let\u2019s meet the Fae,\u201d declared Death. The respective landing ramps lowered for Arsha, Lardeth, and the Autobots. They were greeted with applause as they exited the ships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy people!\u201d called Rellmeer. \u201cOur knowledge of other worlds, other Realms, has expanded, thanks to the efforts of our combined protectors, the organization of Realmfleet! Our little stories about talking animals, robots that change shape, armored beings from another world, they have proven true in some manner. What we have erroneously called Change-a-trons are actually called Transformers! Permit me to present four of the Autobots, the true name of the Justitrons!\u201d The group parted to reveal the four Autobots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cULTRA MAGNUS, TRANSFORM!\u201d began Ultra Magnus as he changed to Robot Mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSTRONGARM, TRANSFORM!\u201d announced Strongarm as she transformed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSWOOP, TRANSFORM!\u201d called Swoop as he followed suit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSLASH, TRANSFORM!\u201d roared Slash as she finished off the transformations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGreetings, members of the Fae Republic,\u201d called Ultra Magnus. \u201cI am Ultra Magnus, second in command of the Autobot Militia. From what I\u2019ve seen in your world\u2019s sci-fi, what I\u2019m about to say is rather clich\u00e9, but we DO come in peace. At least, me and my comrades do. Unfortunately, there ARE those from our respective worlds that would do you harm. I have EVERY intention of stopping them and have the means to do so while keeping everyone safe and ensuring everyone\u2019s trust, as do we all.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou see?\u201d asked Rellmeer. \u201cThey\u2019re friends.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCan they explain what happened in White Cap Ring?!\u201d demanded a Fairy farmer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c…I\u2019m afraid I have not received news about White Cap Ring,\u201d answered Rellmeer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTwo of their number, a red robot and a smaller bat-like robot,\u201d explained a Sprite senator, \u201ckilled two people before they fled!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey sound like two notorious Decepticons, Knock-out and Ratbat, our enemies,\u201d replied Ultra Magnus. \u201cWhat happened?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

What happened was simple, Knock-out was in robot mode and grumbling at all the nature surrounding him. \u201cTrees, mud, rocks, water, they can all just go straight to the Pit!\u201d he complained. \u201cStupid ground being so uneven! Why can\u2019t someone pave over this slag and build a decent shopping strip?! Maybe with a nice body shop! Or a luxurious car wash! ANYTHING THAT WOULD INDICATE CIVILIZATION! NATURE CAN JUST BURN! The instant I find him, I\u2019m going to ask Megatron for a fleet just so we can civilize this planet!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA waste of precious Energon,\u201d came a thickly accented voice with the w\u2019s replaced with v\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLet me guess by the fuel economist\u2019s talk alone!\u201d sighed Knock-out. Ratbat then swooped in. \u201cWhile I\u2019m glad to see another Decepticon in these parts, can\u2019t you just live a little?!\u201d complained Knock-out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe only way to live at all is to conserve our Energon reserves,\u201d argued Ratbat. \u201cUntil we find a decent power source, we must remain low.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCome on!\u201d whined Knock-out. \u201cWe need to get some culture going on this planet!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNot until we find an adequate fuel source!\u201d hissed Ratbat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m the CMO here,\u201d snarled Knock-out, \u201cand I say we start some mayhem to scratch that itch for…!\u201d He tripped over a crystal as large as his foot. \u201cNOW WHAT?!\u201d he roared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFascinating,\u201d mused Ratbat as he sniffed it. \u201cThere is energy inside the crystal; energy that can be refined into Energon cubes.\u201d He pulled out a device and broke off a crystal fragment. He then inserted the fragment into the device and it started producing glowing pink cubes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOkay, that\u2019s a little fast,\u201d remarked Knock-out as he temporarily forgot his appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEr, Knock-out, help me stop this thing!\u201d yelped Ratbat as the Energon cubes came out at a faster rate and piled around him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJust turn it off!\u201d shouted Knock-out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI can\u2019t! It\u2019s gonna blow!\u201d yowled Ratbat. Knock-out then took the device and threw it into the air before it exploded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c…Well!\u201d gasped Knock-out. \u201c…That happened!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHey!\u201d called a voice. Knock-out and Ratbat turned and realized they were surrounded by peasants of all Fae subspecies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c…I think that new Energon is messing with my optical sensors,\u201d gulped Ratbat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m afraid it isn\u2019t,\u201d replied Knock-out, \u201cI\u2019m seeing fairies too.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd Sprites and Pixies!\u201d snapped a Fairy man as he thrust his pitchfork at Knock-out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHEY! WATCH THE PAINT!\u201d roared Knock-out. He backhanded the Fairy and sent him flying into a giant White Cap mushroom. There were other mushrooms in a ring surrounding a central public forum and various farming plots surrounding each mushroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBANTHIR!\u201d cried a Sprite woman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGET THEM!\u201d shouted a Pixie man. The Fae then threw pitchforks, hammers, stones, sticks, whatever they could get their hands on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, nothing ventured, nothing gained!\u201d declared Ratbat as he drank the new Energon. A charge of energy then flooded his circuits and he managed to direct it to his palms, creating a concussive blast that blew back a good portion of the crowd. When he realized what he did, he stared, then grinned. \u201cKnock-out, why don\u2019t you try some?\u201d suggested Ratbat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDoesn\u2019t sound like a bad idea,\u201d chuckled Knock-out as he sipped another Energon cube. He experienced the same charge. \u201cWHOO!\u201d he cheered. \u201cAnd Energon efficiency just went up, up, up! Let\u2019s see how it works!\u201d He leveled his hand at one of the mushrooms and fired a blast of energy at it, setting it on fire!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m still at 99% efficiency,\u201d called Ratbat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs am I,\u201d confirmed Knock-out. \u201cI\u2019d recommend a little…\u2018stress relief\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOnly a fool argues with his doctor,\u201d replied Ratbat. They both then set fire to various mushrooms and farming plots, putting the Fae into a panic. The two Decepticons continued knocking Fae down from both the air and the ground while the Fae continued throwing things at them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

\u201cI lost my daughter during the raid,\u201d finished the farmer as tears streamed from his eyes, \u201cAND my grandson!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c…This ends now!\u201d hissed Ultra Magnus as he turned to the other Autobots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat are you doing?\u201d asked Rellmeer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOrganizing a hunt for them, that\u2019s what!\u201d answered Ultra Magnus. \u201cThe Decepticons are vicious and, evidently, child murderers! We\u2019re going to stop them even if it kills us! Strongarm, begin patrolling the…!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHold on a minute!\u201d interjected Rellmeer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEmpress, they\u2019ve killed two children!\u201d argued Ultra Magnus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA soul avenged in anger will never know rest,\u201d countered Rellmeer. \u201cIt\u2019s an immensely popular Fae proverb. Killing children is a vile crime, but if we charge at them now with no sense of strategy, they\u2019ll get away and we\u2019ll be doomed to hunt them forever. We must be smart about this and make them come to us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHow do you propose to do that?\u201d asked Slash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith a little bit of mana crystal, that\u2019s how,\u201d answered Rellmeer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Knock-out and Ratbat managed to repair the portable Energon refinery and headed off to the source of an energy reading. It led to an old mine, long abandoned after the mana crystals that rested there were extracted. They felt the need to chance it and so proceeded into the mine with Ratbat resting inside Knock-out\u2019s vehicle mode. \u201cPedes off the dash!\u201d hissed Knock-out as his Mobian Holo-form, a Cat, took the controls. Ratbat pretended not to listen and leaned back in his seat. \u201cI said get your filthy pedes off my dash! I just had myself detailed!\u201d snarled Knock-out. Ratbat didn\u2019t move. Knock-out rolled his eyes, then blasted the radio, causing Ratbat to screech in shock and look around while getting his feet off the dash. Ratbat then calmed down and glared at Knock-out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhy Breakdown chose someone like you as his Conjunx Endura is beyond me,\u201d he hissed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDespite his neurotic tendencies, he is a maestro behind a rotary buffer,\u201d replied Knock-out. \u201cBesides, love\u2019s hardly logical.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe could have, at least, picked someone that ISN\u2019T one of THOSE Decepticons!\u201d grumbled Ratbat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat\u2019s not a gay-bashing comment I\u2019m hearing, is it?\u201d snarled Knock-out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cConsidering my own preferences, no,\u201d replied Ratbat. Knock-out hit the brakes. His eyes then went wide as he stared at Ratbat. \u201c…What?!\u201d hissed Ratbat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019re gay like me?!\u201d squeaked Knock-out. \u201cI just…I mean I never…you look like a bot who appreciates a Femme\u2019s frame more than a Mech\u2019s!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPrimus, no!\u201d gagged Ratbat. \u201cI just see them as friends, nothing more!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c…Bonded to anyone I know?\u201d asked Knock-out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAfterburn,\u201d replied Ratbat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWasn\u2019t he declared KIA?\u201d continued Knock-out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt least he understood which alt-mode to pick!\u201d snarled Ratbat. \u201cUnlike you and Breakdown! That\u2019s what I meant by you being one of THOSE Decepticons!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMind elaborating?!\u201d hissed Knock-out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI never understood why you lot pick ground-based alt-modes when you can have flight!\u201d explained Ratbat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, you have ZERO room to talk!\u201d shouted Knock-out. \u201cYour current alt-mode is a Mobian motorcycle!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt least I can still fly!\u201d snapped Ratbat. \u201cYou can now fly in your current alt-mode, yet I\u2019ve never seen you go into the air once! You even picked a Ford 2015 Mustang as your alt-mode during the Earth Campaign! Why?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI liked the way I looked in steel-belted radials!\u201d replied Knock-out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLook!\u201d called a voice. \u201cDecepticons!\u201d Knock-out and Ratbat then poked their heads out the windows to see 3 male Mobians and a red Autobot with a large set of microscope lens on his left shoulder. The Mobians were a red Echidna, a purple Chameleon, and a dark-furred Snub Nosed Monkey. Ratbat left Knock-out\u2019s vehicle mode, allowing the Decepticon Medic to transform with a smirk on his face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne lonely Autobot wimp and three little animals,\u201d he chuckled. \u201cHardly seems fair for me to crush you all.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ll take the red peacock!\u201d declared the Microscope robot, Perceptor, as he activated a scope in front of his right eye. \u201cYou three take care of the knock-off vampire!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGot it!\u201d confirmed the Echidna, Knuckles. The Chameleon, Espio, then vanished only to appear behind Ratbat and slam a knife into his back. Ratbat screeched in pain and swung his arm wildly only for Knuckles to punch him in the snout. The monkey had taken cover as Perceptor fired off shots from a sniper rifle and made Knock-out dance. Knuckles looked back at the monkey. \u201cHenry! Any time now!\u201d he shouted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat do you expect me to do?!\u201d protested the monkey, Dr. Henry Zhou. \u201cI\u2019m a doctor, not a fighter!\u201d Knuckles was then slashed at by Ratbat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOver there!\u201d called a voice. Hiro, Dr. Borg, and Megatron ran up to the fight and grabbed Knock-out and Ratbat as a rift opened for them. They entered the rift and it closed, leaving the Mobians and Autobot very confused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c…The Pit was that?\u201d asked Perceptor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe noises came from over there!\u201d called another voice. Who should round the corner but Sonic as he led everyone to the four in the mine. \u201cHey, Knucklehead!\u201d laughed Sonic. \u201cLose a fight?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKnock it off, Sonic!\u201d protested Knuckles as he massaged his arm, covering the wound Ratbat gave him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHey, that looks bad,\u201d remarked Sonic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe had a scuffle with Ratbat and Knock-out,\u201d explained Espio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhere are they?!\u201d demanded Rellmeer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMegatron took them,\u201d replied Espio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWas he accompanied by a blue-skinned woman with wings and prosthetic limbs?\u201d asked Arsha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOr a human with a fancy belt?\u201d asked Hiroki.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBoth, actually, why?\u201d quizzed Knuckles. Hiroki growled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey\u2019re familiar to us,\u201d he answered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLook, why don\u2019t we all reconvene at the palace?\u201d suggested Lardeth. \u201cWe can exchange stories there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGood idea,\u201d replied Perceptor. He then turned to Ultra Magnus. \u201cPerceptor, reporting for duty,\u201d he announced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGood to see you again, Warrant Officer,\u201d returned Ultra Magnus. \u201cLet\u2019s get going.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHold up! Knuckles is injured!\u201d protested Henry. \u201cWe need an IV!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have one for people your size!\u201d called a Fairy man in a nurse\u2019s clothes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIV?\u201d asked Knuckles. \u201cThis is just a cut. Barely a boo-boo and…WHOA!\u201d The needle was pretty long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA perfect length,\u201d praised Henry. \u201cThank you…er…\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNurse Telter,\u201d introduced the Fairy man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThank you, Nurse Telter,\u201d finished Henry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDoc, ain\u2019t that overkill?!\u201d protested Knuckles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is standard procedure, so shut up and sit still,\u201d dismissed Henry. \u201cThis is NOT the time for belonephobia.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou know, I\u2019d prefer NO IV\u2019s,\u201d gulped Knuckles as he covered his wound. \u201cSeriously, Doc, get that thing away from me!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSir, do NOT test me right now!\u201d snarled Henry. \u201cMove your hand!\u201d His own prosthetic hand moved towards Knuckles\u2019 hand to get it away,.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cForget it! No IV\u2019s!\u201d barked Knuckles as he tried to shove Henry away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019re the patient here! Now sit down and take the IV!\u201d shouted Henry as he tried to set up the IV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019re crazy! I\u2019m not letting you stick me with that!\u201d argued Knuckles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cStop acting like a damn kid, you moronic monotreme!\u201d snapped Henry. \u201cWe can do this the easy way or the hard way!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, it\u2019s gonna have to be the hard way, you tree-climber,\u201d snarled Knuckles, \u201cbecause you\u2019re not poking me with that thing!\u201d Henry sighed, then punched Knuckles in the face with his cybernetic hand, knocking him out. Knuckles then had a neck-brace attached to him and was laid out on a backboard while the IV was inserted into him and he was carted off.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
