Greetings readers. This is my first time attempting a story in a genre that was aimed for boys. So please give me a break if it isn't the greatest. I also am testing out a new character so I hope you give me an honest opinion on this, because she's going to be used in an original novel I'm working on. That said, sit back and enjoy the story.

It was another beautiful day on Griffin Rock as the citizens went about their business in their high tech testing town. For once everything was running smoothly and there was no need for any rescues. At the firehouse, the team was enjoying some downtime. Chief Burns was in his office catching up on his paperwork that he was weeks behind in with Chase helping out. Graham was working on his homework with Boulder down in the garage. Up on the roof Dani had finally gotten around to oiling and waxing Blades helicopter form. Outside, Kade and Heatwave were having a manly competition, of trying to top the other in rescue records. The only one who was doing any work happened to be Cody, who was monitoring the town from the command center.

The young boy clicked through the multiple screens looking for any signs of trouble. So far, no sign of any. "Maybe today will be the first day the town doesn't need rescuing. The law of averages say that something is sure to happen at least once in a lifetime," he remarked to himself. A warmth filled his body for a few seconds followed by his heart, not exactly beating, more like a short pulse. "What in the world?"

One of the screens beeped and the image switched to the lab. "Hi Cody, what are you doing today?" Frankie asked.

"Hey Frankie, just monitoring the town for trouble. What about you? Anything new going on at the lab?"

"When isn't something new going on out here?" she teased her friend. Cody laughed and rolled his eyes. It was a silly question considering where he lived. Knowing Doc, he was either trying to find a way to improve his food or something that would end up throwing the island into chaos once more. "So what is he doing this time?"

"Daddy's trying to build a device to break the divide between planes to prove their existence." Seeing her friend's confusion she split the screen, one side showing different layers on top of one another. "For centuries people of all walks of life have believed that there is more than one plane of existence, where different things are normal and beings live. For example, we live at bottom tier on the earthly plane, where everything is run by scientific law.

The next plane is astral plane. According to research this place is a place where dreams take place and astral forms go. Astral forms are said to be a projection of our souls that can travel through the other planes. Ancient Egyptians believed our astral selves travel around the Earth learning things at night."

"That is so noble!" Cody asked, getting really interested. Ever since meeting the Rescue Bots, he had gotten more interested in proving the existence of creatures or places that people didn't believe in. "How many other planes of existence are there?" Frankie stated that it wasn't agreed on by either people of religion or science, but her dad was concentrating on the seven most common.

"The others Daddy's looking into are: the ghostly, mental, emotional, and pure knowledge, and lastly the divine plane. Each has its own set of rules and as you go through them, your own body would change. At least, according to theory. If Daddy's invention works, it could answer so many questions we have, especially what happens after death, ha, ha, ha." Like her father, Frankie was a firm believer in science to explain everything in this world and was a bit skeptical about the concept of faith. Not that it mattered if her father's invention worked and proved scientifically that the universal planes existed.

"So how long until your dad is able to test the invention. It sound like a noble experience. I bet the whole family would like to see something like this."

"Stop at the lab around 3:30 tomorrow. All the bugs should be worked out by then." Suddenly a blaring red alarm filled the firehouse. Looks like their day off had ended. Cutting the connection with Frankie, Cody brought up all the screens looking for the source of trouble. "Everyone there's a problem downtown. An office building is starting to collapse. Civilians are in danger."

"Thanks Cody, we'll take it from here. Keep an eye on the screens. Rest times over team let's go now!" The bots transformed into their vehicle modes and after Heatwave gave the customary slogan, everyone was on their way downtown to help save lives.

Driving as fast as they could Chief Burns started giving orders. "Graham, you and Boulder look over the schematics to the building, try to find a reason why it's collapsing. Dani, you and Blades fly ahead and see if you can keep the roof from collapsing. Kade and Heatwave, shore up the building with hardening foam. Chase and I will evacuate the area. Understood?" The others all responded yes as they turned the corner and spotted the small office building coming apart at the seams.

"Blades, drop your winch now. Hook the roof and hover as long as you can," Dani ordered her partner.

"I'm really glad you waxed and oiled me today, because this is going to put such a strain on me." Blades lowered his winch, catching the edge of the roof and pulled up. Immediately he felt tension as he tried to gain some height. "I don't know how long I can hold this up."

"Don't worry, the real heroes have arrived! This is another victory for Kade's list."

"Not if I'm the one doing all the work, get out you hot head." Heatwave opened his door and tossed Kade out as he returned to bot form. He reached behind him and powered up one of his attachments and started shooting foam all over the building.

Watching the action from the command center, Cody kept a close eye on the team and the building. His dad and Chase had finished getting everyone out of the way. Graham and Boulder helped by bracing the building to prevent further damage. "Keep going everyone, just a bit longer and you will be d…" Something on one of the screens caught the boy's attention. In the shadows behind the building he could see a lone figure.

Isolating and zooming in on the character he still couldn't tell who it was. As he watched, the indiviual punched straight through the ground and pulled out a water pipe! Cody watched in shock as the person raised the pipe to their mouth and bit clean through it. Water was now flowing nonstop as the foundation started to give way.

"Everyone, watch out. Somebody just, oh never mind, the water pipes are busted and flooding the area. A sinkhole is going to form," he reported through the comlink.

"Not if we can stop it." Graham and Boulder hurried behind the building using his scoop to block the water. Kade turned off the flow just in time. The office building partially broke on the right side leaving the left a little lopsided. With the emergency over the team started to investigate why the new empty building fell apart.

As they investigated, Chief was on the comlink with his youngest. "You want to run that by me again son? You're saying you saw a person literally rip the pipe right out of the ground and bite it in half? That's a little far-fetched son."

"I know it sounds crazy, but I'm a hundred percent certain it was a person and not a runaway machine." Cody scanned the screens again searching for the person he saw once more. Whoever it was had vanished leaving only that clip.

Back with the team Heatwave was blaming Blades for letting Cody stay up late watching monster movies with him. The bot started to correct him when Graham cleared his throat. "Guys, Cody might be right. Take a look at this pipe."

There were tiny sharp indentations in the pipe that looked like claws. Close examination of the pipe showed saliva dripping from the bite marks. Boulder found similar evidence on the collapsed wall. Something biological had caused this destruction. The only questions were who it was and where were they now?"

On the rooftop across from the firehouse a figure hid in the shadow, their eyes locked on the command center window. Through the glare it watched as Cody got up and left the command center. "Enjoy your last day Cody Burns because tomorrow you'll be all mine." A sultry female voice stated before disappearing once more.

The next day the team was still trying to figure out what had attacked the building when they received a call early that morning. It was Mayor Luskey and he looked furious. "Chief Burns, I need you at my mansion immediately!"

As usual Chief kept his calm demeanor. "What seems to be the problem Mayor?"

"The problem is I woke up this morning and found vandalism all over my mansion! My front door was torn clean off the hinges, windows busted and I swear there are claw marks on the columns. To top it all off they destroyed the fountain! I want whoever did this in jail and their bank account drained to repair the damages!" The mayor's face was turning from red to purple as he got madder and madder.

"I promise we'll get right on it Mayor." Turning the video off he was about to speak when Cody's pad started beeping. Cody responded quickly listening as more calls came in. "Let me guess, more calls about vandalism?"

"Yes. Mrs. Neederlander yards have been torn up and Mr. Pettypaws tree is missing several branches. The Rubios car was stripped bare along with roof tiles ripped off. The airport was broken in and all their navigation systems are fried, the runway lights are meeting and a giant hole appeared in the middle of the runway."

Each family member looked at one another in confusion and awe. Griffon Rock wasn't known for vandalism, yet either one or several individuals had destroyed a variety pieces of property without anyone hearing them. When Cody checked the security footage no one was there. "Something really weird is going on. I wonder if Doc's new device is responsible."

Kade sighted in annoyance. "What's the egghead invented now? A destructor beam?" Dani hit him in the shoulder. "Cut it out Dani. Nine times out of ten we're cleaning up a mess caused by Doc's inventions."

"Exactly what was Doc working on this time Cody?" Graham asked his little brother. With some data they might be able to fix this mess up before any more damage was caused.

"Frankie said he was inventing something that could split apart the barriers between planes of existence. But he hasn't even used it yet. I was going to join him and Frankie later to observe the first testing."

"I think Doc should hold off that testing until we get this situation sorted out. Do you think you can handle that son?" Cody nodded. Turning to the rest of the family everyone partnered up and took a different claim. Chief and Chase took the mayor's while Dani and Blades headed to the airport. Heatwave and Kade drew the short straw meaning they had to deal with Mrs. Neederlander while Graham and Boulder got the easier job with the Rubios.

Back at the firehouse Cody started to call Doc when someone tapped his shoulder. "Ahhh!" he spun around and saw Frankie laughing at him. He noticed she was wearing her purple starfish jacket instead of her normal blue one. "Hey Frankie I was just about to call you. We need to tell your dad he can't start testing his new device."

"Really? Why?" As Cody talked to her, Frankie seemed to stand a little stiff and was rubbing her holographic watch/force field. When Cody finished talking she appeared to be a little output by his words. "So you think somebody vandalizing the island is connected to my Dad's invention, one that hasn't even been activate yet. Really? Are you becoming as paranoid as Blade?"

"I'm not paranoid! It's just…" He looked away, not sure what to say to his best friend. Normally, Frankie wasn't this snappy when someone mentioned the possibility of her dad's inventions not working right. "Could you just call your dad and ask him to hold off the testing for a few hours?"

Frankie shook her head and admitted that her dad had decide to test the device away from the lab to avoid any damage. He also had forgotten his phone so they couldn't call him. "We'll just have to go tell him ourselves." Reluctantly Cody nodded. "Come on I brought the quad. We'll be there in no time." As both of them climbed aboard, a strong jolt went through Cody body causing him to clutch his abdomen. "What's the matter? Have a little indigestion?" He nodded and they took off.

At Mayor Luskey's home Chief Burns was taking statements as Chase searched for clues. "Now are you sure Mayor Luskey, you didn't hear anything last night? Vandalism to this degree should have been easy to hear."

"I'm telling you, we heard nothing. Both of us slept peacefully with no interruptions. Could we have been gassed? I heard about a burglary crew that did that on the mainland." The mayor was getting mad. "I already told you this before! Why aren't you out there and putting the handcuffs on the ruffians who did this?"

Chief took a few deep breaths knowing the mayor didn't understand proper police procedure. "Cop-Bot, did you find any clues that could lead us to a suspect?"

Chase came over and knelt down near Poopsie. The dog had been running in circles around her owner, who was to shaken to take note of what her dog was doing. Standing back up he replied, "Negative. I found no clues. The canine here might have. Is this clue?" Chase handed Chief a tiny object. Looking closely, it appeared to be a broken claw tip.

"It might be. I'll take this to the Zoo and see if they can match it with anything in their database. In the meantime mayor, I suggest you start calling for crews to repair the damage. Cop Bot vehicle mode." Chase complied and they were off.

"I must confess Chief I'm greatly troubled by this amount of damage. Destroying ones property is a serious offense and shows that the criminal doesn't care about the impact of his crime," Chase informed his partner.

"I know what you mean. Most times vandalism is done by kids to get a high from doing something illegal." Chase frowned not understand how committing crimes could make someone taller. "Team report in. What's your status?"

"I'm very confused and scared. I think we might be dealing with a monster!" Blades responded anxiously. At the airport he was holding the missing lights. He had found them dumped in the forest with the glass shattered. Alongside them had been chunks of runway covered in saliva. "I think we may be dealing with a giant earthworms people!"

"Blades, calm down. Even if there was a worm, it couldn't have gotten into the tower and leave behind two tail impressions," Dani said as she studied the damage. The navigation and radar stations looked as if something with a tail had smashed the devices. When she shone her flashlight closer she notice something glittering behind her. She walked over to one of the desks.

"Guys, I got a beta fish that's extremely agitate. Its home is all messed up and there's a scale on the desk that is not fishlike. Maybe an animal is responsible for all this."

"It can't be an animal. No animal on Griffon Rock can cover so much ground without being seen. Besides, glory hog here found fibers and animals don't wear clothing," Heatwave stated. It looked like he was trying to hold back a smile. Kade appeared on the screens with a series of scratches all over his face. "Don't even joke about this. My perfect face is ruined."

Graham and Boulder confirmed they had also found something similar. A few strands of black and blue hair had gotten trapped in the undercarriage of the car. It looked and felt like human hair. So maybe it was a human and animal team working together. "We've got a real mystery on our hands Dad. Boulder and I have been mapping the sites and the distance between them."

"It appears whoever did the attacks wanted the team spread as far away they could from any road or trails leading into the forest and away from the lab. The question is why?"

The question was answered a second later as an emergency call was routed through Chase. "Guys! We need your help ASAP! Someone broke in last night and took things from my room and the schematics for Daddy's latest invention."

"Frankie? Why didn't you tell Cody and let him relay this to us?" Chase questioned. Usually Frankie followed proper procedure. "Didn't you receive his call earlier?"

Doc appeared on the screen taking over. "Cody hasn't called us at all. In fact when we tried to reach him to inform him I wouldn't be testing my invention today because of the burglary, he didn't pick up on any device Chief."

Chief felt his fear start to rise as the entire team anxiety level went up. Cody would always respond no matter what unless he was in danger. Dani and Blades studied the instruments seeing if they could lock on to his comlink. "It's not good, the comlink signal cuts off the second it reached the forest. He could be anywhere in there!"

"Team begin a grid search now! Frankie besides the schematics, what else was taken from your room?" Chief demanded as Chase pushed his limits as far they could go legally. Frankie told him her jacket, watch, hair brush and a recording of her voice had been taken from her room. Her cellphone had been destroyed and the quad bike was missing. What did this all mean?

Meanwhile, Cody was becoming more agitated as "Frankie" drove the quad through a rocky path away from the lab. "Are you sur… sur… sure you dad went this far away to test his device?"

"Positive. Trust me we're almost there," the fake said. Pushing the gas she drove a bit more recklessly until they came out of the woods into a small clearing. In the distance you could just make out the sound of the river. The clearing was boarded by thick trees and sharp bramble. The only way out was back the way they came from. Nowhere in the area was Doc Green.

Cody's instincts screamed for him to get out of there. "Come on Frankie lets go. I don't think your dad is here." He placed a hand on her shoulder only for her to shrug it off. "You're not going anywhere Cody Burns. Not after all the work I put into getting you here."

Faster than he could process this, two, partially transparent, blue scaled tails, burst out from the jacket and wrapped them around themselves around the boy. He struggled only for the tails to tighten their noose. He could hardly breathe as the pressure squeezed tighter. Without warning, the tails flung him across the clearing before bumping hard against the ground then he fell into a secret deep pit trap. The walls were covered in marble and asphalt, making it difficult to climb back up. The whir of electronics and metal sounded as a grate covered the pit. Shielding his eyes he could see the fake gloating down at him. "This went better than I predicted. No one figured out what I was up to."

"Who are you really?! What do you want with me?"

The person laughed as she flung Frankie's things away. As soon as they were gone her shaped started to change. She grew taller until she was pushing six feet. She wore a dark blue and black body suit. From her knee down she stood dragon legs the same color of her two free tails. It was the same on her arms, from the forearm down to the hands. Her skin was pale white with glowing yellow eyes. She had a slight muzzle filled with sharp teeth and two horns on her head, but the rest was human. A very faint yellow glow surrounded her body.

"Does my true form frighten you human? Good, it should. My name is Killeclilith. I've been watching you for weeks planning my hunt so that I was guaranteed to feast on your special energy today." She chuckled manically at the boy scooted back. "Yes, you are going to die today and I will have the pleasure of not only draining you of your energy, but also taking a part of your soul, to further my kind's agenda." Licking her lips she prepared to give into her bloodlust and end her prey's life.

Reaching down for the release lever a sharp bang echoed across the air. At inhuman speed, she twisted out of the way and rolled backwards before getting up on her feet. She snarled in anger as her tails swished in anger. Claws popped out as she located the source of the bang. "I didn't think you carried Chief Burns, not a lot use for a gun on an island of tech is there?"

Chief held his gun straight as Chase stood by also aiming his laser at the creature before them. In the distance they could hear the others coming to help. "Whoever you are stand down! Step away from the boy and come quietly. I won't repeat myself!"

"You have incurred the following charges: burglary, impersonation, kidnapping and false imprisonment. You will be processed to fullest extent of the law."

Killeclilith rolled her eyes as she held her ground. Her ears perked as she finally saw the rest of the team arrive and spied the air support above. Good, they were all here. "I don't have to follow human, Cybertronian, or any laws for that matter. For my kind have none!" Striking the ground with her tails, a fissure started to form forcing the team away from the entrance as the trees fell down crushing the quad and blocking the way out.

Heatwave recovered first. "Rescue Bots, secure that being and rescue Cody, now!" He charged ahead as he reached behind him and attached his energon ax to his fist. "Power up and energize!" He swung the ax downward hoping to force her back. Killeclilith raised her dragon hand and with a single claw swipe sliced the axe tip off!

Heatwave's momentum caused him to stumble as Kade jumped out and grabbed a hose as his partner switched to a fire truck. Opening the hose all the way Kade fired a blast of water that could slice metal rods in half. "You're going to pay for hurting my family!"

Killeclilith used the energon blade to part the water before taking off running so fast Kade barely had time to process that she had bitten his hand down to the bone. "Kade!" Heatwave changed to help his partner only to find himself unable to support himself. "What in the name of the All Spark?" A horrid laugh followed by a satisfying snort came from his right side. It was that being again. "What did you do?"

Twirling the blades on the axe head, Killeclilith spoke to him in a mocking town. "Is the big bad Cybertronian upset that little old me beat him? Really, how in the world did I manage to use your tech to take out your legs and leave your arms blasting water towards my pit?" Tossing the axe head in the air she swallowed it whole causing her glow to get even stronger. "You and your partner will have to wait a bit longer to die." She kicked Kade in the head whispering to him that he hoped he could survive her poison.

Without another thought she flew into the air! Dani watched in stun disbelief. "How is flying without any kind of propulsion?!"

"I think the bigger question is why are we letting her get so close?!" Blades screamed. He flew backwards avoiding being impaled. He flew up then down and around, with Killeclilith matching him move for move. "I can't shake her! She too fast."

"Hold on, I think we can outrun her if we go at an angle. On my mark. One, two, three," Dani twisted the throttle pushing Blades down at angle. The flying (being, alien?) missed them as they banked hard to the right before descending. "Guess she can't match our moves."

"Um Dani, I've got something speeding at us on my radar!" Just then Blades screamed as his rotator blades were ripped off. He started tumbling to the ground in a panic! "I'm going down, I'm going to crash!"

"Hold on Blades, I'll think of something." Glass shattered as the canopy broke apart. Killeclilith snatched Dani right out of the canopy and hurled her to the ground, watching as she fell with her parachute lines tangling. Crawling across Blades, she grabbed him by the tail and flung him into Boulder and Chase partially crushing them and keeping their humans trapped.

"Not even a challenge. Now that I properly washed my food it's time to eat." Flying down she hovered over the pit, enjoying the sight of her prey scrambling to tread the water. Landing, she tapped the ground retracting the bar. Gripping Cody with her feet, she flew towards the river bank and pinned her prey to the ground. "Enough distractions, I'm starving. Any last words?"

"HEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPP!"

The sky above started to shimmer as the clouds fell apart. The light of the sun intensified blinding the monster. A slight tearing sound could be heard above. Looking straight up, Cody saw a tear, an actual tear, in the sky. A glowing green and peach colored globe fell towards the earth. The globe split apart turning into powerful beams. They bombarded the creature sending her skidding down the bank. A human figure landed in front of Cody. "That won't deter her for long. I promise I'll keep you safe. Please trust me Cody."

When she turned to face him he got a good look at her. She had a human body, but she wasn't human. Her skin was copper colored and there was a green stripe, going across her light green eyes as if she didn't know how to use mascara. Her hair was a deep rich black styled in a high pony tail that fell across the back of right side. Her clothing reminded him of cyber punk style.

She wore a peach and tan no sleeve shirt and pants, held up by a gold and green belt. There was also a green mesh on her shirt and she work green gauntlets with gold netting. Her punk mechanical boots were deep red and bright yellow the same colors of her goggles on her head. Completing the look was a pair of dangly silver earrings and chain necklace with an old fashion data chip on it.

"Are you here to help me?" he asked. The young woman nodded and started rooting through her backpack before pulling out a small gold and green disk. It hummed as the woman held it out, her eyes asking if she had permission. Cody took it and placed it on his chest. Like when he became Rescue Boy an aura covered him, but this time it felt as if he was covered in lots of love and warmth. "Nobel."

"Stay behind me and protect that device with your life," the woman said, pulling her goggles over her eyes. Her hands started to glow brilliantly green mixed with blue. An aura of many colors formed around her like a protective cloak. A fast moving object was surging towards them. Cody watched in fascination as the woman fired the beams at a speedy Killeclilith hitting her directly in the chest causing the enemy to stumble to the ground.

Snarling, the monster looked up at the woman with amusement. "Oh this is rich. Why would your precious Council of Four, send you to protect my prey. You're not exactly a warrior now are you?" The copper colored woman said nothing, instead she clapped her hands together and flinging those open revealing mini prosthesis that clamped on the other one pinching her horribly. Killeclilith flung them off. "I'm going to kill you!"

The two ladies went after one another. The cyber punk lady teleported in mid-run and fired more blasts. The monster twisted around taking a swipe at the woman's calf. Something happened, but Cody couldn't tell what. He just sat there and watched as the two ladies tried to kill one another with a range of impossible abilities ranging from telekinesis to metal fingernails slashing through the aura.

"Come on, you can do it. I know you can!" he yelled. The device on his chest beeped activating a device in the woman's belt. A surge of power enter her body as she lit up driving the beast back, but not before chunks of her body disappeared. She weakly landed in front of Cody struggling to stay standing.

The exhausted monster landed on her feet. Her gold glow was fading and her body was in agony. Hearing help coming she took off running, stuffing the plans she stolen down her suit. "I'll be back."

When the rest of the team arrived everyone was shocked by the destruction both in and around the river bank. Cody appeared to be unharmed as the device shut off. He had propped the woman up against him watching as rainbow colored blood spilled from wounds. Chunks of her body were literally missing and in their place was an empty white space. Looking up at his family he stated, "She saved my life and stopped that creature, at least for a while I think. She needs help."

A long, excruciating forty five minutes, everyone was at the lab as the copper lady lay on the medical table. Well, lay was not the right word. She was hovering a few inches off it. The cloaking aura had wrapped itself like a cocoon around her body and seemed to be healing her, except for missing chunk of her right upper arm, the left side of her abdomen and partial missing right knee. Doc Green used a scanner to exam those areas. The readings he was getting confused him as he checked the information the medical devices. "Very fascinating. Not something I expected."

The Chief started to ask what was so interesting only to stop. For the first time in his life he noticed how focused Ezra was. The woman, whoever she was, happened to be something he never thought about before or was beyond even his intelligence. He winced in pain as her wrapped the bandage around his head a bit tighter. Instead he looked at his youngest who was giving Frankie back her stuff.

"Thanks Cody, I'm going to have to decontaminate everything, but I'm glad to have it back," Frankie admitted as she placed everything in a decontamination box. Spinning on her heels she asked. "What was that monster doing with my stuff?"

"Killeclilith. That's what she said her name was." For a few minutes he didn't respond as if he was thinking about something. "I think she needed items from you to hold your shape. After she threw them off she reverted to her true form. Since she didn't use that power during her fight I'm probably right."

"I for one am glad that she couldn't change shape. Otherwise I might be in worst shape then I'm already in. Ouch," Blades cried. Dani was trying to fix him, even with sprained wrist. Everyone seemed to be sporting injuries. "I think it's going to take more than a week in stasis to fix all this."

Heatwave grunted, an indication they were not going to go into stasis until they had some answers. Neither the creature nor the woman matched any known species in the alien database. Cody's account also didn't make sense. Feeding on energy, that was feasible, but trying to eat his soul? That was a new one. He also didn't trust the woman who "protected" him. There were too many unanswered questions to the story and he found in to coincidental that she appeared right before Cody could be eaten. For all they knew she could be working with that monster.

Graham was rooting through the strangers backpack, trying to make sense of what was inside. "This backpack shouldn't be able to carry all this. She's got lab equipment, ingredients to make medicine, and who knows what else." He pulled out a tiny silver box. Something was written on it along with a red cross. A drop of blood from his nose fell on the box dissolving. The box started beeping before the lid came off.

They all watched as tiny nanites came out and formed a small four legged robot. Each person got scanned before the device climbed up Graham's arm going for his face. He tried to bat it off, but it clung on tightly. It started making clicks and beeps. "What does this thing want?"

"Permission to treat your injuries," Boulder translated. "He says he's a medical regeneration and healer robot." They all looked at him as if he was crazy, he just shrugged and repeated what the device said. Graham swallowed before giving permission. At once the little robot scurried to the injury sight as a blue beam of energy came out of its head and into the engineer's nose for a few minutes, before moving on to other injuries. In a few minutes Graham was completely healed.

The little robot went to work on everyone, fixing their injuries before moving on to the bots. Dissolving into nanites again, they spread across the Bots bodies so fast they couldn't stop it. In two minutes the nanites reformed into the tiny robot satisfied it had fixed the bots. It jumped off heading for its mistress. Detecting the missing areas, it blinked and beeped, summoning the mini lab and the medicine ingredients. It scurried over to the clean room and enter the chamber as it went to work. The computer panel next to it came to life to assist the little robot in doing its job

Doc was fascinated by what appeared on the screens. "Unbelievable! This healer robot is creating a medicine from compounds I've never seen before. From what I can attain, it's using the blood sample I took to recreate the missing space, in essences, restoring matter and energy to the emptiness on our mysterious guest."

"Noble!" Cody stated excitedly. Maybe the medicine would revive the woman. He looked up at the medical readings only to be puzzled by what they were saying. None of the numbers made sense at all. Frankie actually got a Geiger counter out and swept it over the female's body. It hummed a lot, but then shut off. What was going on?

"Doc, want to share with us why you're scanning this woman with a Geiger counter?"

At that moment, the protective device from before, started beeping. It zipped out of Cody's hands, melted through the cocoon and attached itself to the young lady's head. At that moment the lab dissolved away and everyone found themselves hovering in outer space above a planet similar to Earth only it was more vibrant and colorful.

"What in the world, hey I can still breathe!" Kade exclaimed. Dani stopped rubbing herself upon realization that she wasn't freezing in the vacuum of space. There was no sensation of zero g. The Rescue Bots scanned the area only to be befuddled. "According to my scans whatever we're seeing doesn't exist."

"Are we ghosts? Please tell me we're not ghosts!"

A female voice laughed. "No, you're not a ghost Blades. None of you are in any danger." The colorful cocoon appeared in front of them before dissolving to reveal the woman. "Please don't be frightened. I made this recording to answer any questions you many have if I was incapacitated. I made sure that in that case this recording could be interactive by allowing you to walk through my memory."

They were in her memory with an interactive recording? This was a high level bio mechanical technology way beyond the capability of humans. The recording stated that if they wanted out of the recording at any time, all they had to say was exit memory.

"We have no wish to leave at the moment. A simple line of questions will suffice. Please state your name, occupation, and reasons for being here. Also, if you have any information on our rogue suspect, it would be in your best interest to tell us what you know."

The recording nodded. "Straight to business as ever, Mr. Chase. My name is Mechanica Entity of Biomechanics, (from prosthetics to high tech biotech), of bloodline technology 16. I'm eleven and three quarters eons old, meaning I'm roughly between mid-twenties to early thirties if you went by human standards. My species is known as the Entities. To answer your other questions, I say a clip notes show is in order."

With a wave of her hand Mechanica rewound her memories until they stopped and the found themselves in a blank space. It was an empty universe until an explosion of mass proportion happened all around them. A huge sparkling ball of energy bounced around creating the universe of light and life. Shadowy beings seemed to guide it until it created four beings and the planet they saw. A number of beings followed as they occupied the planet as time moved forward.

Highlighting portions of the memory she explained that this was a memory from the Entities archive explaining the origins of the universe and how the consciousness of the universe used the Big Bang to create the first sentient race. The memory paused as she created a double of herself and split it into three separate images.

"I can detect your curiosity Doctor Green about my species anatomy so I'll explain. Entities are made up of cosmic energy wrapped around a tiny bit of the spark from the Big Bang, along with flesh and blood. Our true forms are beyond the comprehension of other races, so upon birth we create a second form, our corporeal skin, which is what your minds see. The aura around us is a third level of protection."

"So you don't really look like a freaking alien from a science fiction post apocalyptic movie?" Kade asked before both he was shoved by both Dani and Graham. His dad and Cody also glared at him. "What?"

"You really need to learn when not to open that big mouth of yours," Heatwave told him.

Mechanica's recording didn't react angrily. Instead it just corrected him by saying her chosen form was a cyber punk look. She showed clips from the archives about the growth of her society and her species purpose in life. "Each Entity is born with a unique tie to the time/space fabric of the universe giving us domain over them. We use our gifts to guide, inspire, help younger races and protect the universe. We never force or manipulate people and live by a strict code of when and how we can use our gifts."

"If that's true, she's got a lot of power and self-control. I wouldn't want to see what happens if she unleashed that power," Boulder commented quietly to his teammates. The others nodded as Heatwave's eyes darkened as he watched the next clip.

A new memory reel popped up and her expression changed to sadness. The scenery changed as a past battle took place all around them. The memory showed them a giant black shape with a red brain accompanied by wingless two tailed dragon attacking over a dozen Entities while the space around them turned to nothing. Explosions and blasts of power happened all around them as they watched the space around them tear into pieces.

"These are memories from the war between us and the anti-creature the Nameless and its minions, the Killgonas. They wished to undo the universe and kill us for our energy which they gave to their Master to make it stronger. The only way it could die was to end all live in the universe by turning it blank again. So many lives were lost. The war nearly tore the universe apart. Eventually our people managed to seal the Nameless into an anti-universe and split the remainder of the universe into a multiverse. We then moved Entara out of normal time and space to watch over both universes."

More memories played as she explained how the multiverse realities stayed separate and the energy from certain people, who carried a DNA marker, manifested a pure heart crystals, which powered the barrier and in turn kept the Nameless sealed. Everyone stayed silent as they watch a second war almost start and then stop. Finally her memories focused on the creature that had attacked Cody. A look of determination and fear appeared on her face.

"After the Killgonas were sealed in the anti-universe we thought everything would be fine. Then a few years ago a new enemy started to appear. Somehow, the left over essences of our enemies, mixed with chunks of dead reality creating these Killechos. Not truly alive and only having half the power of their predecessors. Their short term goals are to stabilize their form and become truly alive."

"What does that have to do with me? Why does Killeclilith want me dead and my soul?"

Mechanica looked at him sadly before simply replying, "You, your family and friends, even the Rescue Bots have the genetic marker to become Crystal Carriers." She waved her hand as meters appeared above everybody's head. Cody's was practically filled and the others had a bit to go. "If you awaken your pure heart, then you're off the menu because of the rules in both mine and hers DNA code. Your energy would go a long way into stabilizing her body and your soul would get her one step closer to becoming truly alive."

While the humans colored drained and tried to keep from throwing up, the Bots couldn't understand how they had a DNA marker when they didn't have DNA. "Excuse me, can you explain what you mean by pure heart and DNA marker?" Boulder asked.

"Do you have blood? Yes, your energon acts like blood, your Spark your soul and heart. Despite being intelligent metallic species, you have the equivalent of what is needed, to gain a pure heart crystal." The recording brought up a memory showing another entity with a human as a brilliant light and when it faded a beautiful necklace has appeared around the human's neck.

"That was so cool! What exactly do those pure heart crystals do? I want mine now!" Francine stated.

Mechanica assured her that there was plenty of time for that. The main focus now was keeping Cody safe while also capturing Killeclilith before she found a way to use the schematics to give her access to the most powerful and useful ability to any enemy of the Entity. The ability to exist in all the different planes at once, making it nearly impossible to kill let alone contain one.

The last clip zoomed around them. They saw Mechanica in some kind of lab, working on a project when she stopped in her tracks and held still. Another clip showed her in a beautiful room standing in front of the four beings they saw before as they talked. The four had confident looks on their faces while Mechanica appeared nervous. Another memory showed her entering what appeared to be a temple and going to a room that had the Autobot symbol above it. She talked with some before entering a bubble of some kind. "Since I'm the only living Entity who's still alive after fighting the original version, the Council of Four sent me here to help." The recording stopped talking and vanished as everyone returned to the lab.

Checking the clean room they saw that the little robot had finished creating the medicine. The computer beeped before deleting all the new data. Coming out of the room, the little guy scurried over to his mistress whose cocoon dissolved. Using a spray mist, he applied the medicine in the missing chunks restoring it to normal. Mechanica blinked her eyes a few times before sitting up and cradling the little guy. "Thank you my little friend. Having erased spaces in my body was not a pleasant experience." The little bot chirped before dissolving back into nanites and returning to his box.

"Here, let us help you," Cody stated as he and Frankie helped the Entity stand up. They kept her balanced until she was steady on her feet. She thanked them before looking at the Chief. "I know that this is a lot to take in at once, but I promise you I will not stop until the Killecho has been contained and taken away from here. I have some preventive measures that would keep everyone safe."

"What you have told us is a little shocking and out of this world. But seeing what happened and living with aliens for some time, I believe we can trust you. I'll go along with anything you think is best as long as it keeps my family safe."

She nodded before turning to the Greens. "I'm sorry Doctor, but you're going to have destroy your new device. As long as it and the plans exist it possess a danger. Ms. Green, it would be prudent if you helped your father destroy or hide any parts necessary for recreating one." The Greens understood promising to do it right away.

"We need to get back to the firehouse team. The sooner the preventive measures are in place, the easier I can rest. Vehicle…" Mechanica touched his shoulder before saying she could get them back faster. Lowering her goggles she stared at the group before a slight snap was heard and the entire group teleported back to the garage of their home.

"Amazing! You can actually teleport yourself and others over great distances. I wonder if you could help me with redesigning the teleporter we have," Boulder exclaimed before Heatwave gave him a look to be quiet. He stared at their guest, still uneasy about her. He sensed she was holding something back from the group. Whatever she was hiding he would expose it.

The team went to work installing setting up the preventive measures to secure their home. The tunnel entrance had energy draining devices put all over it. All windows and doors were coated in a liquid that upon contact become solid trapping the enemy. All personal items end up in locked chest being guarded by Mechanica's nanites. Each team member carried a biopatch for tracking. In an emergency it could form a barrier keeping the person safe until help arrived. As a last safety measure Mechanica used a device to connect part of her mind with the command center to help her sense if the Killecho was approaching. Now all they could do was wait.
