After the Cybertronian kids met the Mechanicas, Arsha spoke with Optimus and Sonic. \u201cYou visited our world,\u201d explained Arsha. \u201cCan we visit yours?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOf course!\u201d replied Sonic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\u2019d be honored to have you!\u201d agreed Optimus. \u201cBring as many as you want!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThank you!\u201d said Arsha. \u201cI know a few people that want to go!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The people accompanying Arsha were her spouses, Geltar, Farmee, Yufantel, Arsha\u2019s parents, Malnar\u2019s parents, Teefmanam, Pofomofo, Endram, Bashoon and her family, Endea, and Glanthel. Optimus made a call to Mobius. \u201cAngel Island, this is Optimus Prime,\u201d he said. \u201cDo you read?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLoud and clear,\u201d replied Tails\u2019 voice. \u201cWe\u2019re ready to test out the ship-sized rift.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\u2019re all ready here. Go ahead.\u201d A massive portal opened in the sky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the Endeavor<\/em>, Endea grinned in the Captain\u2019s Chair. \u201cI went through a few of those things before I became a Mechanica,\u201d she said, \u201cnow it\u2019s time to see it with my own eyes. Ms. Lakurta, take us through.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAye, Captain,\u201d replied the Drow woman at the helm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Optimus and his family were in the Endeavor<\/em>\u2019s cargo hold. \u201cHow you guys holding up?\u201d he asked them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cCramped!\u201d grunted Sky Runner. Seekers like her had slight claustrophobia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThis trip will be finished soon,\u201d promised Optimus as he put a reassuring hand on her knee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the Glanthelantir<\/em>, a Drow\/Incubus Blender turned to Glanthel. \u201cEndeavor<\/em>\u2019s moving into the rift,\u201d he reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTalokan, follow the Endeavor<\/em>,\u201d Glanthel ordered his robot helmswoman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAye, Sir,\u201d answered Talokan as she keyed in the necessary instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Arsha and Bashoon looked out the observation deck as the Glanthelantir<\/em> entered the portal. \u201cThis is a change,\u201d mused Arsha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNot for me,\u201d replied Bashoon. \u201cI saw the rift whizzing by from an observation deck as an Ensign.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOh, come on, I know you were on the bridge at one point.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDidn\u2019t like that view. I preferred the usual one.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026You know, I can see why.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n On Angel Island, Tails continually checked his equipment. \u201cTails, will you knock it off?!\u201d protested Knuckles. \u201cIt\u2019s gonna be fine!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt\u2019s one thing transporting people across universes,\u201d replied Tails, \u201cIt\u2019s another to transports ships!\u201d Just then, everyone heard the roar of engines. They looked up to see the Endeavor <\/em>and Glanthelantir<\/em> come out of the rift. Knuckles grinned and Tails breathed a sigh of relief. He then called the two ships. \u201cIncoming vessels, welcome to Mobius,\u201d he said. Knuckles then took the call over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThis is the CRS-2784 Endeavor<\/em>,\u201d came the comms-person on the Endeavor<\/em>. \u201cThank you for letting us visit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThis is the CRS-4987 Glanthelantir<\/em>,\u201d came the Glanthelantir<\/em>\u2019s comms-person. \u201cWe are grateful for visiting your world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEndeavor<\/em> and Glanthelantir<\/em>,\u201d said Knuckles, \u201cyou are each being assigned a flight path to Dry Dock. Please make your way there and we hope to see your crew.\u201d The call ended and Knuckles headed off to Dry Dock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The two ships landed safely and their crews and passengers disembarked. Knuckles and Rouge shook hands with everyone. \u201cIt\u2019s great to see you again, Arsha,\u201d said Rouge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAnd good to see you too, Rouge,\u201d replied Arsha. \u201cI see you\u2019ve acquired new jewelry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYeah, but it was a legal acquisition.\u201d Arsha arched an eyebrow, remembering Rouge\u2019s reputation as a jewel thief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cShe\u2019s not lying,\u201d assured Knuckles. \u201cMy old treasure hoard became hers when I married her.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAh,\u201d said Arsha. Sonic was being checked over by Tails when a call came through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYour Majesty,\u201d said his butler, \u201cThe Flame and Nitro Convoys and Supreme Councilor are here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAh, crap!\u201d groaned Sonic. \u201cI forgot about the meeting!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDid we intrude?\u201d asked Arsha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGotta take care of some royal business,\u201d replied Sonic. \u201cWon\u2019t be a minute.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMay we join you?\u201d asked Bashoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSure, might as well see the other allies we\u2019ve got,\u201d said Sonic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Arsha was already familiar with the Nebulan woman, Trema, but she never got to see her son, Galen, or his family. Right now, one of Galen\u2019s spouses, Llyra, was leading Galen and Trema to a meeting place. Trema goggled as she saw Arsha. \u201cWell, I\u2019ll be a Decepticon Headmaster!\u201d she breathed. \u201cArsha Royana!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTrema, was it?\u201d asked Arsha. Trema picked Arsha up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt\u2019s been too long! How are things?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDoing well, Trema. Finally became Queen of the Realms!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNo kidding?! Awesome! I trust things are nice and boring, politics-wise?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOh yes, they are.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThat\u2019s good. Same here with my son and his spouses. Speaking of which,\u201d she turned to Galen and Llyra. \u201cGalen, Llyra, I\u2019d like you to meet Arsha Royana, Queen of the Realms! Arsha, this is my son, Galen, head of the World Watchers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHello, Your Majesty,\u201d greeted Galen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAnd this is his wife, the Supreme Councilor of my planet, Llyra.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cPleased to meet you,\u201d said Llyra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGood to meet you two,\u201d replied Arsha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDid Sonic invite you?\u201d asked Trema.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cActually, he almost forgot about this meeting when he and Optimus brought their families to visit the Realms. We then entered the rift to visit your universe and Sonic invited us to see this meeting.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWell, you\u2019re about to meet a few more friends of ours.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The room was large enough for people of Transformer-height to stand in. The people currently attending sat at a conference table for all people. \u201cWho\u2019s left?\u201d asked Amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cJust the Velocitron and Animatros delegations,\u201d replied Llyra. Just then, a gorilla knuckled into the room. Its fur was a dark-purple and it had pale purple skin. It also had blue optics like an Autobot. Arsha arched an eyebrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cErm\u2026what\u2019s with the monkey?\u201d she asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cApe, Ma\u2019am,\u201d corrected the gorilla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cKong Primal!\u201d greeted Optimus. The gorilla then transformed into a bipedal robot. Arsha blinked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cW-Why does he-?\u201d she asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHe DOESN\u2019T look like Optimus!\u201d hissed Sonic. He then leaned in to whisper. \u201cSeriously, those two hate being compared to one another. So, whatever you do, don\u2019t call Kong \u2018Optimus Primal\u2019!\u201d As soon as Sonic finished, two race cars rushed into the room and transformed into Hot Rod and Override of Velocitron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAnd the stars are here!\u201d cheered Hot Rod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAnd we\u2019ve got a new one here,\u201d said Override as she pointed to Arsha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEveryone,\u201d said Optimus, \u201cthis is an old friend of mine, Queen Arsha Royana. She hails from another universe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWell then, welcome to our universe, Arsha!\u201d greeted Override. \u201cName\u2019s Override.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAnd I\u2019m Hot Rod,\u201d finished Hot Rod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe\u2019re all here then, so let\u2019s see how things are going,\u201d said Sonic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The meeting dragged a bit, as most meetings do. \u201cOkay, next up,\u201d said Amy, \u201cthe upcoming budget for the galactic fiscal year. Poozit relocation utilities are way above projections, guys.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNebulos has got an excess of galactic revenue,\u201d replied Llyra. \u201cWe can foot the bill, especially when it comes to the Poozit vermin. Next.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAnimatros\u2019 tourism business is booming,\u201d remarked Kong. \u201cWe can step up when Nebulos falls short.\u201d Llyra arched an eyebrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou\u2019re kidding, right?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAll right,\u201d said Optimus, \u201clet\u2019s all agree that we\u2019ve got this covered. What else?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWell, it\u2019s not an official part of the agenda,\u201d replied Amy, \u201cbut there\u2019s the dimensional rift we successfully made. I just have a few concerns about it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAnd they are?\u201d asked Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWell, two different-sized rifts should have attracted Megumi\u2019s attention, yes?\u201d Optimus and Arsha looked to each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cShe\u2019s right,\u201d muttered Optimus. \u201cThe Vortex Riders are practically dimensional cops. Why haven\u2019t we seen them?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMaybe they haven\u2019t gotten the reports yet?\u201d mused Arsha. \u201cI mean, time flows differently for different universes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYeah, but the rifts make the two universes line up. So, either they\u2019ve retired or\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOr something\u2019s wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWell, we still have Vorton and Beyond City\u2019s telemetry data,\u201d replied Sonic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cVorton?\u201d asked Override. \u201cThat\u2019s just a myth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt\u2019s no myth, Override,\u201d replied Optimus. \u201cI saw it with my own optics. In fact, I saw Vortech himself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe should try and contact Beyond City first,\u201d declared Arsha. \u201cThat IS Megumi\u2019s home.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once the meeting adjourned, Tails programmed in the data for Beyond City. He kept getting an error message. \u201cDamn!\u201d he growled. \u201cSomething\u2019s wrong! I\u2019m gonna try and contact Vorton.\u201d He keyed in the necessary commands. A voice then came through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThis is Vorton,\u201d said a sharp, military man\u2019s voice. \u201cUnidentified gateway operator, you are attempting to breach our security without proper clearance. I would rather you identify yourself, but I can come over there if I need to.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBrigadier Lethbridge-Stewart,\u201d replied Tails, \u201cthis is Miles Prower, AKA Tails, from Mobius. I am here with Optimus Prime and Arsha Royana. Please confirm that this is a friendly universe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cStandby,\u201d replied the Brigadier. There was a silence along the comms. After a minute, the Brigadier returned with a friendlier but still militaristic tone. \u201cSorry about that, Tails old chap. You sound older. Enough time must have passed in your universe. You say Optimus and Arsha are with you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThat\u2019s right. We\u2019re trying to get to Beyond City.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019m afraid Vorton lost contact with them hours ago.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBrigadier, it\u2019s Optimus,\u201d interjected Optimus. \u201cWhat do you mean you lost contact with Beyond City?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cExactly what I say, Prime. Something has attacked the F.N.S so hard that they had to destroy their base and their gateway. We sent a probe into that universe, but it has yet to return. I\u2019m trying to raise Chizara at this point.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBrigadier, this is Arsha. We\u2019re coming over there to help. We\u2019ve got ship sized rifts at the ready.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cRoger that.
