Me: Hey bitches! The ending on the fourth AutoKnight installment is finally finished!
Trevor: Wow. Seems lie only yesterday when I first fell from the sky and this whole thing began.
Violet: I can't believe how far we've gone in this amount of time.
Me: Well I'm not finished yet you guys. After this one I plan to start the fifth one up soon.
TK: Speaking of five, where is that one going to take place?
Me: Oooohhhhh…I'm going to leave that a surprise until the fifth one is actually up.
Fry: What?! You mean you're going to finish this story without giving the readers a clue on where the next one is going to be?
Me: That's exactly what I'm saying.
Kari: Can't you at least give us a hint?
Me: No way. All I will say is that's going to be awesome and some more original characters will be introduced in it. So don't quit on me. But right now, it's time to send this one off with a bang. I don't own the Incredibles, Transformers, American Dad, Digimon, or Futurama. I do own my original characters Trevor Bauer and Takamon.
Trevor: One small joke about that fact and I'll transform to Optimus and run your ass down.
Takamon: And I'll be the one in the driver's seat laughing as he does.
Me: Oh, come on! You'd seriously turn into Optimus and kill them?
Trevor: Yes.
Takamon: I'd support that.
Trevor: And you guys wonder why I sent you to therapy. Enjoy chapter twelve and the end of the AutoKnights four: Cybertronian 3009.
The AutoKnights IV: Cybertronian 3009
Chapter 12: Back to the Past
(Madison Cube Garden; 12:55 PM)
Leela, Bender, Amy, and Hermes were all still inside the arena watching the fight on Teletraan. When they saw the Decepticons retreat, they started to celebrate just like the people in the streets. Bender began to chug two bottles of beer at the same time while the other three were just happy. Leela just couldn't believe that her boyfriend was the seventh AutoKnight. Even more unbelievable to her is that it was Fry. He was never the kind of guy you'd expect to just go out into a fight just like that. But after they went through that tear in space a few months ago, he really changed. He became good boyfriend and always said he loved her at the right time. He had also considered that trip through the tear in space to be the scariest thing he has ever seen, so it wasn't really easy to frighten him anymore.
"I can't believe it! They actually won! And it's all thanks to Fry!" Bender shouted as he took another drink.
"Who ever would've thought Fry would be the one to save us all?" Amy wondered.
"The professor and Zoidberg are never going to believe this." Hermes said.
"We're never going to believe what?" a voice came from behind.
The four turned around and saw the Professor and Dr. Zoidberg coming in.
"What happened here?" Zoidberg asked.
"You're never going to believe what just happened." Amy said.
"And what would that be?" The professor asked.
"Where's Fry?" Zoidberg asked.
"That's what we're trying to tell you. Fry's an AutoKnight!" Leela said.
"Fry? An AutoKnight? Oh please. In order for me to believe that I would have to see it first." The professor said.
At that moment, the sound of engines could be heard. The crew all ran outside and saw the six non flying AutoKnights in their vehicle modes. Jetfire was in human mode hovering above them. He quickly landed and then the Digimon all hopped out of their rides. Then the rest of them transformed into their human modes and the professor and Zoidberg were shocked at the one wearing a silver colored suit with one wheeled skates on his feet.
"Fry?!" The professor nearly shouted.
"Actually right now the name's Sideswipe." He said.
"Sideswipe?" Zoidberg said. "I like it."
"Fry. Sideswipe. I don't care what his name is. I just want to know what's going on." The professor said.
"It's actually pretty simple professor." Optimus said as he stepped forward. "We got into a huge battle with five Decepticons and we almost bought the farm. But Sideswipe here got his power and saved us before that happened."
The professor and Zoidberg just stared at Sideswipe before the latter skated slowly in front of them.
"Are you okay, professor?" Sideswipe asked.
"Y-yes I'm fine." The professor said.
"That's good." Sideswipe said.
Then everyone heard a high pitched tone that went on. They all looked and saw Takamon standing there with his staff glowing gold and ready to fire. He was looking at Bender.
"Bender, what the hell is that on your body?" Takamon asked.
Bender looked down and remembered what he did to himself a few minutes earlier. He painted the purple Decepticon symbol on his chest and it was very accurate.
"Oh no. It's not what you think." Bender said waving his hands.
"Bender thought for a second that you guys were going to die so he was preparing to join the Decepticons." Hermes said.
"But now that you guys beat them all there's no reason for him to do that." Amy said.
"I guess so." Bender said as he eyes Sideswipe. "We saw you on Teletraan. You were freakin awesome!" Bender shouted.
Sideswipe smiled and rolled over to high-five his robot friend.
"I also saw your robot mode. We are going to have so much fun." Bender said.
"When this job is finished, we'll have all the fun we want. Agreed?" Sideswipe said.
"Agreed." Bender said as he shook the hand of his best buddy.
"Hey I just thought of something." Takamon said.
Everyone looked at the golden Digimon.
"What is it, Takamon?" Bumblebee asked.
Takamon looked at Bumblebee and Arcee who were standing next to each other.
"Even though you two are AutoKnights, you're still digidestined. Right?" Takamon said.
Bumblebee and Arcee looked at each other and then back at Takamon.
"Yeah. So?" Arcee said.
"Do you still have your digivices with you?" Takamon asked.
The two spies looked at each other again. A flap opened up on both of their waists and there was something inside them. Bumblebee and Arcee pulled out their green and pink D3's.
"We have them right here." Arcee said.
"So…" Takamon looked at Patamon and Gatomon now. "Couldn't Patamon and Gatomon have digivolved and fought with us the entire time?"
Now everyone looked surprised. Bumblebee and Arcee slapped their foreheads out of realization.
"Son of a bitch!" Bumblebee shouted.
"We could have been fighting along side you guys the whole time." Gatomon said.
"Then I guess you're just gonna have to wait until next time." Optimus said.
The two Digimon lovers looked at Optimus with hopeful eyes.
"Really?" Patamon asked.
"Absolutely." Optimus said. "You guys are here with us on this mission right? Who says you guys can't be part of the action too?"
Patamon and Gatomon now had big smiles on their faces. So did Bumblebee and Arcee as the put away their digivices.
"Sweet!" Bumblebee said.
"Alright then. Guys, power down." Optimus said.
All seven knights raised a single fist and started to concentrate hard. They all shut their eyes and then their suits turned back into their liquid metal form and then their ring. Thus doing so, they became their normal selves again. Fry just stared at the gloss silver stone in his ring and smiled at it. But Leela didn't have a smile. She had just realized what Fry becoming an AutoKnight means.
"You're gonna leave." Leela said.
All eyes averted to Leela.
"What?" Fry said.
"When the rest of them leave this place to go back to their own time, you're going to go with them. Aren't you?" Leela said in a not so happy tone.
Fry hanged his head down and muttered, "Yes."
"You can't leave!" Leela nearly screamed.
"But, I have to." Fry said.
"So the team is down one member. Like it will be that big a deal anyway. Fry, you don't have the experience they do." Leela said.
"Neither did we when we first got our rings." TK said.
"But in time, we mastered our powers. Personally I haven't had mine for that long but I have learned to use them in the right way." Kari said.
"And besides, you should have seen him out there." Tai said. "He took down five Decepticons all by himself."
"Not even the rest of us could do that." Steve said.
"He's right." Violet added. "Fry may not have the experience we have right now but he knows things that even we don't know how to do. So he will gain experience over time like we did."
"But how long will it take?" Leela asked.
"Even we can't honestly answer that, because we honestly don't know." Trevor said.
"But,"
"No buts Leela." Fry said.
"Fry, please."
"Leela, I have to do this. For this world, for everyone, for you." Fry said the last two words softly.
Leela knew she was beaten. She had to accept it.
"This might be the sweetest thing anyone's ever done for me." Leela said as she hugged her boyfriend.
"Hey! What's going on?!" A voice shouted from behind.
They all turned around and saw Roger the alien running over with Hayley's jar under his arm.
"What happened?" Roger asked.
"We got into another fight, Roger." Steve said.
"What?! I missed it?! Oh dammit! This is what I get for getting super drunk last night with whom I think was an alien hooker." Roger said.
Everyone got weirded out right there. Steve and Hayley however, did not look at all surprised.
"I'm not even going to touch that one." Trevor said.
"Well whatever, it wasn't that hot anyway. Do any of you have fifty thousand dollars?" Roger said changing the subject.
Trevor, Violet, and Steve got worried.
"Oh Roger, please don't tell us you made more bets on us." Violet said.
"No I didn't place any bets. When that Decepticon Jeep drove by my bar it blasted it into pieces. It's going to take at least fifty grand to repair the damages." Roger said.
"Ouch." Trevor said.
"Well at least you didn't lose two hundred grand." Steve reminded his alien friend.
Roger glared at Steve. He then put the jar with Hayley's head down. The robotic spider arms came out of the jar and it walked to Steve.
"I'm glad you're okay, Steve." Hayley said.
"Yeah. I am too." Steve said.
Hayley smiled and then slightly frowned.
"So…does this mean you're going back?" Hayley said.
Steve frowned now too.
"I'm afraid so." Steve said.
"Oh." Hayley said sadly.
"But, it's not really good-bye if you think about it." Steve said. "I'll see you again when I get back home."
Hayley smiled a very light smile.
"I guess you have a point." Hayley said.
The rest of them smiled and then an idea came.
"Shouldn't we call Cybertron and tell them the good news?" TK said.
"Yeah. That and they're the only ones who know how to open up a space bridge." Violet said.
"Wait. You're leaving right now?" Leela said.
"We don't know yet." Trevor said. "But I have to call Cybertron and let them know of our status. Now Leela, will you please hand me Teletraan?"
Leela still had Teletraan in her hand. She gave it to Trevor and he spoke to the device.
"Teletraan 1, contact Cybertron Command." Trevor said.
"Sending signal." Teletraan said.
The screen on Teletraan started to fuzz.
"Cybertron, this is Trevor Bauer. Is anyone there?" Trevor said.
Everyone gathered around Trevor and two robots came into view. It was Blaster and Wheeljack.
"What's kickin' Trev?" Blaster asked.
"Nothin much, Blaster. Just called to give you guys yet another update." Trevor said.
"Would this one have anything to do with you guys fighting five Decepticons?" Wheeljack asked.
Everyone was confused.
"How did you know?" Tai asked.
"We were watching it all from here." Blaster said. "Grapple and Hoist made some brand new adjustments to Teletraan 1. We hooked up to one of your Sky Spies and watched the entire battle. We could see and hear you, but you can't see or hear us. You guys kicked some serious Decepticon ass!"
The knights smiled.
"Thanks, Blaster." Steve said. "I take it that means you also know about the seventh knight."
"Yep, we saw him roll into the battle but we don't know who it is. Who there is the newbie?" Wheeljack asked.
"That would be me." Fry said as he stepped into view. "The name's Fry."
"And what name did you call out when you first transformed?" Wheeljack asked.
"Sideswipe." Fry said.
"Oh, Sideswipe. Back before they were rings, Sideswipe was a highly respected warrior. He was also our top combat instructor." Blaster said.
"Combat instructor?" Fry asked.
"Yeah. Sideswipe knew a whole bunch of martial arts. And now since you have his power, Fry, you have his skills in those arts." Wheeljack said.
Fry smiled as big as he could right there.
"I have the power of a badass robot with karate skills. Man did I get a good ring or what?" Fry said.
"Alright Fry. Easy." Trevor said.
"Oh and guys," Wheeljack started. "The Decepticons here have gone through a space bridge back to your own time."
Everyone lost their smiles.
"Well then we have to get back. Now." Takamon said.
"He's right." The professor said. "The longer you kids stay here the more time those Decepticons have to terrorize your home in the past, and therefore ruining our home here in the future."
"We have to get back home as soon as we possibly can." Kari said.
"You heard them, Wheeljack. Open up a Space Bridge and let's get our asses in gear." Trevor said.
"I'm setting the coordinates to send you guys back on this exact day on the year you guys left. So you guys will arrive back home on the day of July 18, 2009." Wheeljack said.
"It'll be like we spent as much time there as we did here." Patamon said.
"So nothing big will change. That's a relief." Gatomon said.
"Actually, Teletraan 1 will have a slight change." Blaster said.
"What do you mean?" Violet asked.
"Well, Grapple and Hoist love to make as many upgrades as they can to Teletraan 1 every time you guys move to another base. And the most recent upgrade they made was that they gave Teletraan 1 a personality." Wheeljack said.
Everyone looked confused.
"A personality?" Kari asked.
"Yes. When you guys find your next base, Teletraan one will be a fully functional Artificial Intelligence system that you can actually talk to as if it were a real person. He'll still be able to do all the same things he could do before of course." Blaster said.
"He?" Violet said.
"Um…yeah. Teletraan 1 is a 'he'." Blaster said.
"Alright. We'll work out all that stuff later. Even though you won't remember having this conversation in the past, I'll be sure to let your past self know you said it here in the future." Trevor said. "Now open up the bridge."
"Already done." Wheeljack said as he pressed a button.
In front of the large group, a big white hole opened up in space and it was white all inside. It was the space bridge home.
"Alright. Walk through it whenever you're ready." Wheeljack said.
"Thank you guys?" Trevor said as Teletraan turned off.
Trevor put Teletraan back in his pocket and then the seven knights and three Digimon all stood in front of the crew, Roger, and Hayley in their own group. Fry noticed Leela's eyes were beginning to tear up and he approached her.
"Honey, I'm sorry we have to rush off like this but…"
Fry didn't have a chance to finish because Leela began to give Fry the most passionate kiss they both have ever shared. Water ran down Leela's face as she did. Even Fry shed some tears of his own. After about a minute and a half, the two separated.
"You just be careful and come back in one piece." Leela said.
"I love you." Fry said as he nodded.
"I love you too." Leela said back.
Bender went up to him. Bender also had a liquid coming out of his eyes.
"I'm gonna miss you, meatbag!" Bender cried. "When you come back, we're gonna have fun! Just you and me! Robot buddies!"
Fry smiled.
"You bet, Bender." Fry said.
Bender actually hugged Fry and then Amy and Hermes were in front of him.
"Well, Fry, I guess you're finally going home. You must be happy." Hermes said.
"Actually I'm a little scared." Fry said. "I've been away from that century for so long, I don't think I'll ever get used to it again."
"We were hoping you would say that." Amy said as she held out a packaging box with the Planet Express logo on it. "When I saw you transform I knew you would be leaving so we got you a little going away gift."
Amy gave the box to Fry and he opened it up. It was one hundred cans of Slurm. Fry got teary eyed again.
"Just a little something to remember us by." Amy said.
"Oh god you guys. This is so great." Fry said.
Fry dropped the box and hugged both Amy and Hermes. The other knights just looked disgusted as they looked at the cans of Slurm. Fry went over to the professor and Zoidberg.
"Well Fry, I'm very proud of you. When I first met you, you were whiny pansy delivery boy who had little expectations in life." The professor said.
Fry glared at him. "But now look at you. You're going off to fight in a war. I wish you the best of luck."
"Same here, buddy." Zoidberg said.
Fry then hugged them both and then joined his team. Before they turned around to face the space bridge, Roger and Hayley walked over to Steve.
"Steve, I never thought this would happen a second time, but here I am saying good-bye to you as you go off to fight. You just tell your father I said hi okay?" Roger said.
Steve nodded and hugged his best friend. He then kneeled down in front of Hayley.
"Hayley, I'm sorry I burst out laughing when I first saw you like this. It's just that, I came here from a thousand years ago and I haven't really grown up yet and…"
"Steve you're wrong." Hayley stopped him.
"What?" Steve said.
"Steve, you have grown up so much. You actually taught me a really valuable lesson." Hayley said.
"I did?" Steve asked.
"Yes. I was always against fighting and thought there should only be peace. But you and the other AutoKnights taught me that sometimes, peace is something that you HAVE to fight for." Hayley paused for a second. "YOU'RE the reason I ran for president. I wanted fight for peace just like you."
Steve smiled.
"You did?" Steve said.
"Yeah. Steve I am very proud to call myself your sister. And I want you to have this." Hayley said.
One of Hayley's spider arms reached into a hidden compartment under her jar and pulled out a necklace. Steve recognized as the one Hayley usually wore. It was her old peace symbol necklace.
"Are you sure?" Steve said.
"Just promise me you'll be alright." Hayley said.
Steve smiled and took the necklace. Instead of placing it around his neck, he wrapped it around his wrist so the peace charm dangled there.
"I promise." Steve said.
Steve picked up the jar and hugged it as best as he could. He then placed it down and Roger and Hayley went back to their group.
"Thank you all for your help." Trevor said. "And thank you for accepting us as friends."
"No problem at all." Amy said.
"We're going to miss you guys." Leela said.
"You'd better run along now. Good luck AutoKnights." The professor said.
"Thank you guys." Takamon said.
"Til all are one!" Violet shouted.
"TIL ALL ARE ONE!" Everyone else shouted.
The seven knights and the digimon all turned around and walked to the bridge. On by one, they all walked inside. When it was Fry's turn, he gave one last look back and waved. The rest of them waved back to him and he entered the bridge. He was the last one in the bridge. When he walked inside it. The bridge slowly started to get smaller. It got smaller and smaller until finally, along with the people inside of it, the space bridge disappeared.
"I love you, Sideswipe." Leela said.
Me: There it is! The AutoKnights 4 is complete!
Trevor: Wow you weren't kidding. You really didn't give any hint as to where five is going to take place.
Me: Like I said. It's a surprise.
Takamon: Well how long are we going to have to wait for you to start up five?
Me: You won't have to wait long my friends. Number five is coming. And to my followers, I hope you don't quit on me now because the best is still on the way. Until then, as always, peace bitches.
