So, two or three years ago, I asked a friend known as Russetstar (Deviantart)/DarkRose66 (Fanfiction) to use her Predacon and Dinobot characters. And her Oc Cybertronian species called Dracons. They're Cybertronian with draconic features and they are descendants of the Predacons.

Those Dracons are:

Demon

Sparta

Knightmare

Iceclaw

Phoenix

Knightfang

Hybrid

Livewire

They will appear soon. And here's some info that you need to know:

Wolf's Journey II

Running through the forest was Jack in his wolf form. He was following the direction towards the mountain. The sun rises from the horizon as Jack continues his journey in finding his true self. And he's lucky that he wasn't alone. Kuroi, the raven, was flying above him. Helping him on his journey. Jack appreciates his new friend. The raven became a loyal companion for Jack, supporting him on his journey. Jack jumped over a fallen log and sprinted out of the forest to a clearing as he saw a wild herd of elks running by. Jack felt his blood pumping as he enjoyed the freedom that he had. But first, he has to focus upon the task. Jack enters the forest treeline while Kuroi soars above and lands on a tree branch. Jack remembers from Achak that he has to find the animals that will guide him on his journey. The first one, is the eagle, for it is the guide and teacher. Jack uses his nose to sniff the air, in search of the scent of an eagle.

'How hard is to find an eagle?' Jack mumbles out, looking through the sky and sees Kuroi flying by and lands on a branch of a nearby tree. "Did you see an eagle up there?"

Kuroi shook his head at Jack, indicating that he didn't see an eagle. Jack sighs a bit, finding an eagle won't be easy, it was the first animal he needs to find. Suddenly, his ears perked when he heard a Canadian voice from a distance. Turning to a curtain direction, he saw two mooses

'What's he getting all worked up about, eh?' Asked a slender brown moose that has large dark brown mane and big antlers.

Beside him was another moose has gold fur, thin brown mane, and short antlers. The second moose shrugged and said. 'Gee, I don't know. Maybe the gulls pooped on him, eh?'

They both laughed, finding the joke funny. But the first moose saw Jack looking at their direction and was soon in panic mode.

'Oh, gee, I think he's looking over here.' He said to the second moose in fear. Jack raised a brow at them as the two moose tried to escape. 'Let's beat it!'

The two mooses tried to run but they ended up running at different sides from behind the log. Kuroi lands on a rock that was beside Jack as the two watched in both amusement and confusion at the two mooses, who ended up getting their antlers stuck together.

'Oh, thank you very much.' The first moose said in annoyance.

'Okay, just stay still, eh.' The second moose said as they struggled to break free.

Jack and Kuroi looked at each other, confused about what's going on, before Jack walked over to them and called out at the two mooses. 'Hey, you two!'

The both mooses gasped in fear at the incoming black wolf. The first moose said to the second moose to get their head down on the log with green moss, hoping to avoid Jack the Wolf. But their rumps can be seen under the log. Kuroi snickers at the sight while Jack rolled his eyes and walked over to the log while the two mooses were arguing.

'Oh, gee, I think he's seen us, eh. Now what?' The second moose whispers in fear.

'Act like we're not here.' The first moose said to him quietly.

'Oh, we're not here!' The second moose said stupidly while the first moose bumps one of his legs at the second moose to shut up.

'Shh! What are you doing, eh?!' The first moose whispers angrily as he and the second moose have their eyes closed, unaware that Jack got underneath the log from an opening as he looked at the mooses in confusion, who were busy arguing with their eyes closed while their antlers were stuck together.

'Well, you said to tell…'

'Don't say anything. Shh!'

'Okay.'

'I said don't say anything!'

'Um, excuse me?' Jack suddenly spoke, causing the two mooses to open their eyes in shock and screamed in fear, startling Jack in the process, before they stumbled out from the log while falling on their backs with their antlers still locked. Jack brought his head off from the log while Kuroi flew over and landed on top of the long. They watched as the two mooses pleaded for mercy.

'Please, don't eat us!' The first moose pleaded.

'You wouldn't like us, eh. We're really gamy!' The second moose almost cried.

'Yeah. Eat hoof-for-brains over there.' The first moose said, gesturing the second moose.

Offended by his words, the second moose glared at him. 'Oh, nice, eh. Pine-cone breath.'

Annoyed, the first one shot the second moose his annoyed comeback. "Crusty tail."

'Twig legs.'

'Big nose.'

The second one gasped, feeling hurt from the comeback. The first one felt bad and apologized while the second one said that he went too far that time, making the first moose to apologize again. Jack rolled his silver eyes as he walked over to the two mooses while Kuroi watched him. Jack uses his hind legs to help him stand staring while using his front paws to untangle the mooses' antlers.

'Guys. I'm not eating anybody.' Jack said as he freed the mooses' antlers from being stuck. This information made the two mooses feel relieved, but when Jack freed the antlers off the mooses, this made the second moose to fall on the ground.

'That's mighty decent of you, eh.' The first moose said kindly and happily.

The second moose got up and was happy that Jack the Wolf won't eat them. 'Yeah. Hey, my name's Nut. This is my brother, Tucky.'

'How's it going, wolf?'

Jack stood back at all four and sighs a bit. 'Don't call me that.'

'Sorry, uh, uh...mmmm...Mr. Wolf?" Tucky said, hoping he got that right.

"No, my name is Jack." Jack said before gesturing to Kuroi, who was nested at the log. 'And this is my friend, Kuroi.'

Kuroi greeted them with a wave of a wing. Jack turns back to the two mooses and asks. 'Do either of you see an eagle that might be flying by?'

The two mooses thinked about it, trying to remember if they saw an eagle. 'Yyyyyeah...No. Uh, no. Sorry, wolf. I mean, Jack.' Nut said while apologizing.

'Why are you looking for an eagle, eh?' Tucky asked.

'The eagle is part of my journey.' Jack said

'Journey to what?" Tucky asked in confusion.

'A journey of answers. Someone told me that I can find my answers where the lights touch the earth.' Jack explains to the two mooses, who were staring at him with wide and confused eyes.

'...I don't get it." Nut said suddenly, causing Jack and Kuroi to frown at him and his brother.

'Yeah, eh? And what does an eagle know about the light touching the earth?' Tucky questioned.

'Well, the eagle is part of a group of spiritual animals that can guide me to the mountain and will help me find my answer of who I am.' Jack explains to them.

'But you're a wolf.' Nut said.

'I know I'm a wolf. I just wanted to know WHY.' Jack explains to them, but as always, they weren't sure what he meant.

'I don't get it.' Tucky said stupidly.

'Yeah, eh. I mean, you are a wolf and you have a raven as a sidekick.' Nut pointed out to Jack.

Kuroi cawed at him angrily, feeling offended by that. Jack sighs and looks at the moose brothers. 'Kuroi is my friend. And I wasn't always a wolf.'

'You weren't?' Tucky questions him in confusion.

'But you have fur, sharp teeth, and pointy ears, eh." Nut started to Jack, gesturing his appearance.

Jack sighs at them in annoyance and calmly explains to them. 'I know I look like a wolf, but I wasn't always like this before.'

'You were like, what? A beaver?' Tucky asked.

Jack and Kuroi frowned at him while Nut looked at his brother and said. 'That's a very big beaver if you ask me.'

'I'm not a beaver. And I wasn't always a wolf. I'm a man.' Jack corrected them.

'Excuse me?' Nut asked in confusion.

'I was transformed into a wolf magically by an aurora that happened to be Great Spirits. I was lifted into the sky by a female dragon.' Jack explained to them, almost annoyed.

'What's a dragon?" Tucky asked stupidly.

'A fire breathing reptile that can fly.' Jack described, but the two mooses still have no idea what he meant but pretended to do so.

'Uh-huh…' Tucky pretended to understand and made a fake cough. 'You're crazy!'

'Gesundheit.' His brother said, thinking Tukey sneezed.

Tucky tries to signal his brother that Jack was 'crazy' but he wasn't as he continues to fake coughing. 'No, a fruitcake!'

'Are you okay?' Nut asked his brother in concern.

Jack and Kuroi, who flew towards Jack and landed on his back, as they both watched blankly at the two moose brothers in annoyance, clearly stating that they have no idea about the Great Spirits. Tucky continued to make fake coughs at his brother.

'No! That bear over there! He's crazy!' Tucky exclaims at his brother.

'I am not crazy!' Jack stated to them, clearly thinking that there's something wrong with those mooses.

'Well, whoever said you were? We understand.' Tucky said to him in a somewhat sarcastic tone.

'You do?' Jack asked almost suspiciously.

'Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, you see, we're not moose, either.' Tucky playfully jokes, which causes Jack and Kuroi to make a deadpan look, as the older moose go around him.

'We're not?' Nut asked in confusion, walking up to them.

'No. Heh...we're like, uh...we're like...squirrels! Yeah.' Tucky jokes, playfully jumped.

Nut, who understood his brother's little joke, played along. 'Oh. Oh, yeah. Beauty, eh?' He winked at his brother. 'Yeah, well, he-he's actually the squirrel, eh? I'm more of a pure-bred wolverine. Look at these cuspids. Rrrrraahh!' He growled pathetically, showing his 'wild side' at Jack and Kuroi, who stared at him blankly.

'Give him a little room.' Tucky added jokingly.

Jack facepalmed with his paw while Kuroi stared at them in annoyance. Jack slides his paw on his face, annoyed that these two mooses didn't get what he meant. 'Why am I even talking to a couple of dumb moose?' He mutters out.

'No, we're squirrels, eh?' Tucky jokes, causing Jack to put his paw down and made a blank look.

Nut made a stalking motion and whispers in a spooky tone. 'Wolverine.'

Jack groans and slumps his head in annoyance while the mooses laughed at their joke. Kuroi was staring blankly before he noticed something in the air. Looking up, the raven's eye caught a sight of a bald eagle, soaring above the trees. Cawing, Kuroi said to Jack that he saw an eagle. Bringing his head up, Jack saw the bald eagle flying past the forest to the clearing.

'Hey, wait!' Jack yelled at the bald eagle before going after it while Kuroi took off to the sky, leaving the two mooses behind.

The eagle continues flying above the trees while Jack and Kuroi chase after it. Jack called out to it multiple times, but the eagle seems to ignore them as it flies further away, towards a beach. Jack bursts out from the undergrowth, panting as he searches for the eagle. Sadly, it was no longer there. Kuroi landed on Jack's back as he asked if he saw the eagle. Sadly, Kuroi shook his head, indicating that he lost sight of it. Jack sighs in disappointment, feeling that this test will be harder than he thought.

He and Kuroi were about to walk away when something moved on the water that caught Jack's attention. Turning back, Jack glared at the ocean suspiciously. He could've sworn that he saw movement in the water. But there was nothing there. Thinking that he was being paranoid, Jack was about to walk away when suddenly, something exploded out of the water and roared at him like a crocodile.

It was the size of an elephant. It has a fish like tail and giant long arms with sharp claws. The head was human like but it was bold and the eyes were hollow. It roared at Jack as it clawed its way to him in full speed. Seeing a threat, Jack made Kuroi take the air as he avoided the creature's attack. It crashed on the undergrowth, roaring in anger as it got out. Jack growled at it dangerously, his wolf instincts took over as he and the ugly creature circled around each other, growling and hissing. The ugly mermaid mutant roared and charged at Jack, but it was a mistake as Jack's inner wolf (Wolf Blade) releases a sonic silver howl at the creature, sending it flying to a clearing, scaring off the herd of elks and small wildlife in the process.

Jack quickly went to the direction that he sent the creature flying, making sure it doesn't destroy the forest. Thanks to his wolf instinct, he found the creature in a second and saw that it was causing trouble with the wildlife. Kuroi was circling around the clearing, informing Jack from above. The creature roars as it almost attacks a herd of elks. Luckily, Jack was able to stop it as he tackled the creature with full force, knocking it down from ground. Jack bites at its neck, holding on tight as the creature was lashing about, trying to get him off its neck. Jack's training with Achak paid off as he learned to stand on his ground and don't underestimate his opponents.

Meanwhile, Kuroi was watching the two fight with teeth and claws, and so far, Jack has the upper hand in speed and stamina. The creature may be big, but it lacks intelligence. Jack avoided its giant claws just in time before it could grab him. Then Kuroi spotted something interesting, the creature started to steam up as its body began to grow thinner and thinner. Kuroi calls out to Jack, who heard him, and tells him about the creature's weakness.

It was evaporating.

As it turns out, this creature must stay in the water to live, without it, it will slowly evaporate. Having a plan, Jack made sure to keep the creature out of water's reach. Jack attacks the creature again with a sonic howl, not enough to send it flying, but enough to disorient it before tackling it again. Jack's plan was to tire it out, losing its energy. And his plan was working, though it was taking some time since the creature still had some fighting spirit. But something caught Kuroi's eyes. Behind the black creature's neck was a human figure, trying to get out of the tar like substance. Kuroi called out to Jack again, telling him the information he saw.

Upon hearing this, Jack could see the figure that was trapped on the creature's neck. Jack has to get the creature to be directed, so he can sneak upon its neck and get whoever was trapped there. Jack started barking savagely, getting its attention on him fully. The creature roared and charged at Jack at full speed. Jack charged at it as well at full speed. However, before the creature could snap its jaws at Jack. The Human turned wolf jumped high in the air, passing over the creature's head and flips himself to land on the back of the neck to grab the one who was trapped in there with his teeth. Realizing what's going on, the creature starts roaring like crazy as it attempts to remove Jack off its back, trying to prevent him from removing what was on his neck. Jack holds on as he pulls as hard as he can, to free that person. Kuroi swiftly flies down and helps Jack as he uses his talons to grab Jack's fur, and helps him to free the person. With their efforts, they free the person out of the creature's neck and fall on the ground. Well, Jack and the stranger did while Kuroi angled his flying, to prevent himself from falling. The creature roared in anguish, feeling its energy dropping rapidly.

Seeing the creature weakened, Jack charged at the creature again at such great speed that he launched himself like a rocket, grabbed the creature's ear, and snapped it hard. A loud cracking sound was heard that echoed through the field. And when Jack lands on the ground, he turns towards the creature and sees that it was stiff as a board as it suddenly exploded into black mist. Jack pants tiredly, feeling the adrenaline still pumping in his veins. Jack then looks over the stranger on the ground, who was being observed by Kuroi. Jack went over to them and noticed that the person was a girl, she appears to be his age. She has long ocean blue hair, blue lipsticks, and tan skin. She was wearing strange and foreign clothing, and they were blue like the water. She was lying on the ground, still unconscious after she was trapped on the neck of the creature.

Jack lowered his head and sniffs at the girl. She was alive but unconscious, there were no signs of injuries on her, indicating that she will be fine. Jack sighs in relief, knowing that his attack didn't harm the girl. Though he wonders why she was in there. Jack looks at Kuroi as the raven looks at his friend.

'We should go find somewhere safe and…' Jack notices his raven friend is looking behind him. Confused, Jack followed Kuroi's direction and saw the two moose brothers at the undergrowth, jaws dropped and eyes wide as dinner plates.

'Oh, boy.' Jack thought almost worriedly as he looked at the two moose brothers. 'I can explain.'

'That you're a super wolf?" Tucky suddenly spoke in shock and fear.

Jack sighs, not sure if he CAN explain this to them. 'Look, just help me find a place for her to rest.' He said.

The moose brothers looked at each other and then to Jack. 'Oh, sure, eh. We know a nice grove of trees that you can stay in. I mean, it has good grass.' Tucky said.

'That's a good place, eh.' Nut agreeing with his brother.

'Good, we need a place to rest.' Jack said before he put the girl on his back while Kuroi made sure she didn't fall off.

They followed the moose brothers to a small grove that was surrounded by trees and delicious cranberry bushes. Jack puts the unconscious girl down while the two moose brothers eat some cranberries on the bushes. Kuroi flies off to get some water for the girl to drink when she wakes up. Though she hasn't for hours as the sun began to set and soon became nightfall. Jack was able to make a simple campfire as he uses his sharp claws to scrape the obsidian stone, creating a small spark on to the sticks that he collected and let it light up, creating a warm fire for them. Kuroi came back before dark as he found a big leaf to carry the water and set it down beside the girl. She didn't wake up as she continued to sleep. Jack lies on the ground, a few feet from the girl while the two moose are sleeping and snoring loudly, giving Kuroi a hard time sleeping. Jack couldn't sleep because he doesn't know who or where this girl came from and why she was on that creature's neck.

'Who are you?' Jack whispers to the girl.

Suddenly, Nut snorted awake, feeling his mouth dry. He turned to Kuroi, who was standing beside the leaf with water.

'Hey, can I have a sip of that water?' He asked. Kuroi cawed at him, saying no. 'Aw, come on, eh. The lake is far and I'm thirsty.'

Kuroi cawed at again saying: This is not yours, go get your own.

This leads to a full scale bickerment as Nut and Kuroi argue while Tucky is still sound asleep, snoring loudly. Jack blocked out their noises as he was too focused upon the sleeping girl. Suddenly, Nut accidentally tipped the leaf with water over with one of his hooves, spilling onto the girl.

'Nut!' Jack scolded, getting up in all fours as the water was spilled onto the girl. His outburst woke up Tucky, who was now wide awake and looking about.

'It's his fault!' Nut points a hoof at Kuroi, who caws at him angrily.

Before Jack could scold the moose, he noticed the water on the girl started glowing. Turning towards her, Jack and the others watched as the water was slowly consumed by the girl, disappearing into her. The girl suddenly opens her eyes, revealing blue as the water, as she lets out a sharp gasp before sitting up and looks around the area. She then looks over to Jack, surprised to see a wolf to be watching her.

'Are you okay?' Jack suddenly asked the girl.

'Uh...Jack? You know that's a human, right?' Tucky said.

'Yeah, they don't understand animals.' Tucky informs Jack.

"Actually…" The girl spoke, getting everyone's attention. "I can understand animals."

This surprised the group a lot. They didn't know she could understand them. Jack was amazed, he remembered the lesson he had with Achak that there are some humans who have the ability to speak to animals.

'You...you can understand us?' Jack asked in surprised, earning a nod from her.

"Yes, I can. My name is Rain, and I am not a human. I am Galatria." Rain explains to them.

'..Galawha?' Tucky and Nut asked in confusion.

"Galatria, I'm what you say an alien from another planet." Rain explained.

'...I don't get it.' Tucky and Nut said unison, mind filled with confusion.

Jack rolled his eyes at him while Kuroi facewinged. Jack looks at Rain curiously. 'Don't mind them. Anyways, do remember anything from what happened?'

Rain nodded. "I do, I remember being at my home planet called Laas, it's where I was born and grew up. I was a healer and warrior for my planet. Helping my people to protect our home."

'What do you mean?' Jack asked.

"Back at my home planet, we have a rival species called Monstrums, pure evil and was created by darkness. Their goal is to rule the whole universe." Rain explains, her voice filled dread.

'They sound just like the Decepticons.' Jack thought glumly as he looked at Rain. 'Why would they want to take over the universe?'

"To show that they are the number one dominant alien species there is." Rain explained to Jack. "But the only way in doing so, if they make a wish at the Gate of Beginning."

'Gate of Beginning? What's that?' Jack asked curiously.

"The Gate of Beginning is a celestial gate that was created by our Goddess, Crystalia. She is the Goddess of New Beginning. Her powers can create worlds that are unknown to anyone. She was the only one who can access this power if they can open the Gate of Beginning."

'What's that?' Jack asked curiously.

"The Gate of Beginning is known to house the power of Crystalia, and the one who can open it first will have full access to the power of the goddess, but there is a catch. The Gate can be open if a second born of a royal family is born, she will be the one who can open it and the one who stands by her side will have the power, if they are the purest heart, but if there is no one by the Key's side then the only one who will access it is the key herself." Rain explained.

'Gee, eh. This story is quite nice.' Tucky whispers to his brother, who nodded in agreement.

'I wanna make a wish.' Nut whispers back.

'What wish will that be?'

'Uh...I don't know, give me a minute.'

Jack sighs and looks at Rain. 'So, if they get the key, how will they find the gate?' Jack asked.

"To get to the gate, they must find the Terraformer, a powerful ship that can purify dark matter into pure energy. It was known to be used by Galatrias, for it can rebuild and restore planets." Rain explained.

'It sounds powerful.' Jack said to Rain.

"It is, but it can only be used when it is connected with the Gate of Beginning. And to ensure it's safety, my ancestral people hide the ship from the Monstrums." Rain explains to him that before looking down to her hands sadly. "The Monstrums were so obsessed in making their wish, that they...they invaded our home...killed our king…"

Rain suddenly stopped talking as her expression showed it all. It was too painful to continue. Jack understands her completely. And decided that she doesn't need to explain about it.

'It's okay if you can't handle it.' Jack said kindly. Rain looked at him and gave him a warm smile, causing his heart to beat irregularly. Clearing his throat, Jack was lucky to have fur because he was blushing a bit.

'C-Can you tell more about the Terraformer?' Jack asked, stuttering a bit.

"Well, to ensure its safety, it was sent to a nebula called the Gefroren Nebula. It's 350,000,000 million light years away, with an ice field that makes it a hostile and dangerous environment." Rain explains.

'Yikes…' Jack mutters out, cringing at the thought.

Rain giggles at him. "It is dangerous, but only the royal sister can find it." Rain explained.

'Did anyone else try to find it?'

"Other aliens tried but never succeeded." Rain answered to him. "After it is protected from evil and no one shall use it for evil."

'Oh…' Jack looks at her in understanding.

'Gee, you seem like you had a hard time, eh.' Tucky said to Rain.

'Yeah, and we thought wolf boy's story was crazy.' Nut said as he and his brother laughed a little.

"Wolf boy?" Rain asked in confusion.

'Yeah, eh. But we think he's a beaver.' Tucky added.

Jack sighs and calmly tries to explain to the moose brothers again. 'Listen to me. I was a man that was changed into a wolf. No beaver. Man into wolf. That's it!

'Oh, yeah. So, before that you were probably like a goat, eh?' Nut jokes about, causing Jack to make a blank look at him and his brother.

'Hey, how about a water buffalo?' Tucky added playfully.

Then Nut went behind Wolf Jack and pulled his ears upwards, they didn't hurt much, they just pinched. 'No, he's a rabbit. Look at his ears and his furry little feet. Watch out for the rabbit!' He said to his brother, who laughed.

'No way, eh.' Tucky said between laughs.

'Are you two finished?' Jack asked in annoyance.

'Oh, yeah, we're done.' Nut said, letting go of his ears and went back to his brother.

Rain tilted her head at him curiously. "You were once a man?" She asked him.

Jack turns to her, unsure if she can understand him, but he'll give it a shot. 'It's a long story.'

"I have time and I will listen." She said kindly.

Jack nodded slowly and began his explanation on what happened to him and the reason why he is here. Rain listens to his story as he told her that he was kidnapped with his mom by an organization called the Equal Salvation, and was turned into a giant wolf after he saw his mother being killed. He found himself here and was rescued by a shaman named Achak. He helped and trained Jack for his journey in finding his answer. And was turned into a wolf by a magical light, an aurora to be exact. Rain paid close attention, not making any comments about his story, as he tells her everything. Once he finished his long tale, he looked over to Rain, who was looking at him quietly, thinking that she doesn't believe him. But she did the opposite.

"Amazing." She said in wonder.

'Wait, you believe me?' Jack asked in surprise.

Rain nodded. "I do." She said honestly.

'So...he's not crazy?' Nut asked.

"He's not crazy." Rain said as she looked at Jack.

'You believe me?' Jack asked her.

Rain smiled and nodded at him. "Yes, your story holds honesty and truth, there is no doubt that these Great Spirits will help you find your answers." She said.

Jack smiles in appreciation. 'Thank you, Rain.'

"You are very welcome, but I didn't get to know your names." She said to him and the others.

'Oh, yeah. I'm Jack, that's Kuroi.' Jack points at his raven friend, who greeted her. 'And those are Tucky and Nut.'

'How's it goin', eh?' Tucky greeted.

'Nice to meet you, Rain.' Nut greeted too.

Rain smiles. "It's a pleasure to meet you all."

'Are you hungry?' Jack asked Rain.

Rain shook her head. "No, I'm fine. The water that you gave me has restored my strength."

'Wait, what?' Jack asked in confusion.

"Oh, right. My kind can control the elements and regain their strength with it. Like me, I can control water."

'So when the water was spilled onto you, you regained your strength, right?' Jack questioned.

Rain nodded. "Yes. And with it, I don't need to eat much."

'Wow, that's amazing.' Jack said, making Rain smile. Then Jack realizes something, Rain has nowhere to go. He can't take her to Achak yet, he still has his journey to do. And he can't leave her here, that would be rude of him. So, deciding to do the right thing, Jack offers Rain to join him on his journey.

'Do you want to come with me and Kuroi?' Jack offers, causing Rain to look at him in surprise. 'You have nowhere to go and maybe the Great Spirits can help you find your answers.'

Upon hearing this, Rain smiles at his generosity, feeling a great sense of kindness within him. "I would love too, Jack."

'Can we come too?' Tucky asked Jack.

'Yeah, eh.' Nut agrees with his brother. 'So, if there's any of those things following us and I was...we were thinking. If we could maybe kind of hang out with you guys.'

'Yeah, just hang out. That's right.' Tucky agrees with his brother.

'Yeah. It'd be fun, you know? I mean, if another of those things who's going to catch up- and-and-'

'Then you eat them.' Tucky finished.

'Right. Well, that's what we were thinking.' Nut said while nodding.

Jack and Kuroi, who hopped over to Jack, glanced at each other, not sure if it was a good idea to bring those mooses with them. However, since they can just drop them off on another part of the forest once they reach their destination.

Jack sighs but agrees. 'Fine, you two can come along.'

The two mooses sighed in relief, knowing they will be protected. Rain couldn't help but giggled at them, finding them funny. Jack simply rolled his eyes and said that they should rest, they have a long journey to reach the mountain. So, one by one, they went to sleep. But before Jack could sleep, he saw something at the corner of his eyes. Turning around, he saw the eagle perched at a branch of a tree, looking at Jack.

Jack stared at the eagle with suspicion. He has a feeling that this eagle led him to the beach on purpose. And in doing so, he rescued Rain in the process. Perhaps these spirit animals were guiding him, teaching him the hidden truth of the secrets that will come on his journey. Jack will find out soon on the next day.

So, closing his eyes, Jack went to sleep with the others while the eagle took off to the night sky.

One the next day, the group sets off to the mountain. Rain was riding on Jack's back, he didn't want her to walk all the way to the mountain since it was faster with four legs. The moose brothers were playing 'I Spy'. But they would only spot some rocks, trees, dirt, and bush. Their game was annoying, but Jack ignores them since he deals with Miko's constant rambles or mumbo-jumbo. However, something was up. Jack no longer saw the eagle as it disappeared yesterday, but maybe there was more to it. Suddenly, they came to a stop when they found themselves in a rocky ravine, filled with rocks that might fall on them. Jack knew the danger, but if they're going to cross to the other side, they have no other choice but to cross. Kuroi can easily go through the ravine with ease since he can fly. But the moose brothers didn't want to.

'Uh...do we have to cross?' Tucky asked nervously.

'Yeah, eh...is there like...I don't know, another way?' Nut asked fearfully.

'No, taking this path will lead us to the mountain faster.' Jack said, looking down at the ravine and then to the group. 'Just walk slow and steady, don't wander off or cause any trouble, okay.?'

The moose nodded nervously before Jack slowly stepped on the rocky ravine, followed by the moose brothers, who hesitated to cross. Jack made sure to take easy steps, not wanting to create any ruckus. As they walked quietly through the ravine, Jack spotted something from above. Standing on the edge was a cougar. It was staring down at Jack calmly. Silently gasping, Jack blinks his eyes for a brief movement and sees the cougar gone. Jack was shocked to see that, but his action caught Rain's attention as the Water Galatria looked at Jack worriedly.

"Is there something wrong, Jack?"

Jack glanced at her and said. 'I thought I saw a cougar.'

"Cougar?" Rain repeated.

Jack nodded, looking through the path carefully. 'Yeah. Achak told me that the Cougar will teach me leadership, loyalty, courage, and responsibility. But it disappeared like the eagle.'

"What do you mean?" Rain asked.

Before Jack could respond, his wolf instincts kicked in, something bad was about to happen. And he was right, the ground started to shake. The animals that were close felt it too as they all started to panic. The ravine's rocks started to fall and cracks started to appear on the ground. Tucky and Nut started to panic while Jack knew they had to get out of here.

'RUN!' He barked as he and the mooses made a run for it.

The moose brother screamed on top of their lungs while Rain held onto Jack's fur while Jack led them to safety. They avoided many fallen rocks and cracks that appeared on the ground. Kuroi was cawing in panic to see his friends were endangered. He wanted to fly down and saved them but i would be too risky, and Jack knew it too. But Jack has other ideas.

"Kuroi! Find us a safe path to go to!' Jack ordered.

Hearing this, Kuroi flies straight ahead to search for a safe path for them. He called out to Jack, saying that they should take the left path. Jack heard it and told the others to follow his lead. The moose brothers didn't ask questions as they followed him faithfully. They ran through the safe path quickly, avoiding many fallen rocks in the way. Then a big rock falls and is about to crush them, but Jack uses his sonic howl to send it flying. Then suddenly, rocks started to block their paths, giving them a hard time to escape. Jack knew he could easily maneuver those things but Tucky and Nut couldn't. However, there was no way Jack was going to leave them behind. So, taking a deep breath, Jack uses his sonic howl to clear a path for them.

'Let's go!' He barked as they ran through the path while rocks fell through the ravine.

'Right behind you!' The moose brothers screamed, following Jack quickly.

They ran like the wind as the rocks fell above them and surrounded the area with dust. Kuroi cawed with worry, trying to find his friends through the dust. But by some miracle he saw figures running out of the ravine, revealing Jack, Rain, and the moose brothers. They made it out okay and alive. They all collapse on the forest floor, panting from the adrenaline rush.

'T...That...was...too much...for me.' Tucky panted out.

'I'm with you, brother.' Nut groans in exhaustion.

Rain looks down at a panting Jack and smiles at him. "You're a really good leader, you know that, right?"

Jack panted out and made a weak nod. 'So I've heard.' He mutters out before slowly getting up. Kuroi flies down and lands on Rain's shoulder, cawing happily to see them okay. Jack smiles at him. 'Thanks for giving us a safe path, Kuroi.'

Kuroi bowed, making Jack smile at him. Soon, Jack got up and looked at the moose brothers. 'You guys alright?'

'We're good.' Tucky pants out as he and Nut got up. 'Thanks for saving our keesters back there, Jack.'

'Yeah, you sure know what you were doing back there.' Nut agrees with his brother.

Jack nodded a bit, feeling a sense of pride and relief as he successfully saved his friends from danger. Just like how he helped Miko and Raf from a dangerous situation, mostly caused by Miko. After the whole earthquake incident, they decided to head off again. But before they did, Jack could have sworn he saw the Cougar standing at the edge, looking at him. But when he looked back, it was gone, as if it was observing him. Whatever the reason was, Jack has a feeling that he was being tested.

As they walked away, they weren't aware that the cougar was standing on top of the ravine with the eagle perched on a dead tree beside it, as they both watched Jack and the others leave.

Jack and the others continued their way to the mountain, crossing some field and through the forest. They continued to head on to the path where they came upon a rocky field mountain, they were getting close to the top of the mountain, but first they had to know if they were going the right direction. Kuroi would fly up and check, but decided to rest and also it was getting cloudy. They soon stopped when they spotted two rams, one chubby and the other one skinny, were headbutting at a small rocky cliff, trying to impress an ewe close by.

"Hey, maybe they can give us directions." Rain suggested.

'Let's asked them.' Jack said.

Meanwhile, they two rams grunted as they headbutted each other hard. They were happy and slightly disoriented, as they enjoyed their headbutting.

'Oh, that clears up the sinuses.' The skinny ram said.

'Oh, it does.' The chubby ram agreed.

'OK. Hit me again. I think she's looking.' The skinny ram said, referring to the ewe that was watching from afar and was giving them a confused look. 'Hello, sweetie.'

'Oh, yes. She's checking me out, all right. Hey, baby.' The chubby ram skirted.

The ewe gave them a look and rolled her eyes as she returned back with the others while the two rams started to argue.

'What? No, no, no. Come on, you nitwit. Are you out of your head? She's looking at me. Look at that.' The skinny ram pointed out to the chubby one, who was flirting with the ewe, who left.

The chubby ram glared at him. 'Right. Like she's looking at your ugly mug? Come on.'

'My-' The skinny ram looked back to the ewe and politely said. 'Excuse me, miss. One second.' And then got on the chubby ram's face. 'It's go time, baby.'

'Oh, you want to go?!' The chubby ram challenged, pushing him back. 'Come on, bring it on.'

The skinny ram pushed back the chubby ram while glaring at him. 'Horns up.'

'Hey!' Jack called them from below with Rain on her back while Kuroi was perched on her shoulder.

'Hold on.' The chubby ram said after hearing Jack. The two rams looked down to see Jack was waving his paw at them, trying to get their attention.

'Excuse me.' Jack called out to them politely.

'What do you want?!' The chubby ram exclaims rudely, which caused Jack to stare at him blankly. Then the chubby ram's echo was heard, which startled the two rams.

What do you want?!

'What is that? Who is that?' The chubby ram asked in surprise and confusion.

The skinny ram looks down at Jack and politely says. 'Just a minute, wolf.' And with that, he shouted through the afternoon sky. 'Hey, shut up!'

Hey, shut up!

'No, you shut up!' The skinny ram yelled again, but louder, which echoed back.

No, you shut up!

'No, you shut up!' The chubby ram yelled back to the sky.

No, you shut up!

'Hey, will you shut up?!' The skinny yelled again.

Hey, will you shut up?!

'JUST SHUT UP!' The skinny ram yells again, louder.

JUST SHUT UP!

As the two rams yelled at their echoes, Jack, Rain, Kuroi, and the two moose brothers stared at them. Jack and Rain were staring at the rams in confusion, glancing at each other as they wonder what they should do. Kuroi, on the other hand, was watching the whole scene in amusement, finding it hilarious two see those rams arguing at their own echo.

"Should we tell them that they're arguing at their own echoes?" Rain asked Jack, watching at the two rams yelling at their echoes.

Jack shook his head. 'Nah, I think their horns are screwed on too tight, Doubt they would listen.' He said.

Rain giggles a bit while Kuroi laughs. "I guess you're right." Rain agrees with him.

Jack smiles before he notices something up ahead. There, in the distance, appears to be a grizzly bear. It was staring at Jack, as if it was waiting for him. It soon walked away, causing Jack to go after it.

'Hey, wait!' Jack called out to it before running after it, causing Rain to hold on to him.

Jack rams after the bear while the moose brothers try to catch up to him. Jack saw the bear entering a cave and quickly went after it. But upon entering the cave, the entrance suddenly closed, trapping Jack, Rain, and Kuroi in the process.

'No!' Jack exclaims as he tries to claw his way out, but the rock wall was too thick.

'Uh...Jack?' Tucky's voice said to the other side. 'You okay in there?'

'Yeah, we're good.' Jack said before looking at the cave and notice that there's a tunnel here. 'But I don't think we can get out of here.'

'Oh…so, should we wait for you?' Nut asked.

'No, there's a tunnel that might lead us to the exit. You and your brother find a way to meet us on the other side, okay?'

'Okay.' The two mooses said from the outside before Tucky looks at his brother. 'So which way should we go?' He asked, earning a shrug from Nut.

Meanwhile, Jack looks at the tunnel that has a strange scent coming from it. He, Rain, and Kuroi weren't sure about this, but it was the only way to get out of here. So, Jack started walking through the cave. Thanks to his wolf instincts, he can see through the dark. It was kind of spooky. Suddenly, they heard something, Jack growled in the direction and to his surprise, he and the others saw a fox, staring at them. It was standing at an opening that leads to another tunnel. It tilts its head as if it was curious about them. Jack narrowed his eyes at the fox. He remembers that the Fox is a cunning trickster and might trick them on taking the wrong path. Yet it is also one of the animal spirits that will teach him to be cunning and quick-witted. Suddenly, the fox turned away and walked to the tunnel. Jack narrowed his eyes at it, finding it suspicious. But he has a feeling that this fox was testing him.

'Keep your guard up.' Jack said quietly. 'We don't know what this fox is up to or where this tunnel leads.'

They nodded as Jack started following the fox through the tunnel. Jack carefully walked through the dark tunnel when he and others noticed that the fox suddenly stopped at its tracks and faced them again. Jack raised a brow at it, finding it suspicious.

'What are you-'

Jack was cut off when the fox's eyes flashed. And the floor beneath them vanished. They didn't have time to react as they plummeted to the dark abyss, screaming or yelling in fright while the floor reappeared and the fox simply walked away.

Jack, Rain, and Kuroi crash into the water that has glowing blue bioluminescent algae. Jack was able to snap out and swim over to Rain and Kuroi before they got on his back as he swam up. Jack and Kuroi let out a sharp gasp, taking in the oxygen. Rain can breath underwater since she is a water Galatria.

'That sneaky little fox!' Jack growls, thinking that the fox was like Miko, tricking people a lot.

Rain looks at the water and notices that they were on an underground river. "Jack, this river will lead us somewhere.'

Jack looks at her. 'Are you sure?'

"Positive." She said with a nod.

'...Alright, but it will take a while to get there.' Jack said.

"Or how about minutes." Rain said as she started to sway her hands.

With that, the water started to move, giving Jack the boost and speed to reach their destination. Jack wasn't even swimming as the water was doing the work. Jack looks at Rain in surprise as she giggles at his reaction. As Rain uses her power to guide Jack to the stream, they reach a deep cavern and see stalactites and stalagmites along with gemstones attached to the walls as it creates small lights in the dark cavern. Jack, Kuroi, and Rain awed at the scene before them, seeing such beauty that looked so magical.

'Amazing.' Jack whispers out, wishing his friends were here to see this.

"It is…" Rain said in awe.

Soon, Jack got out of the water to dry land. Rain carries Kuroi as she gets off Jack, who starts shaking the water off his fur, drying himself in the process. Rain uses her power to remove the water off Kuroi's feathers, which he was grateful for, before they looked around the beautiful cavern.

"Wow, this cavern hasn't been untouched by man for years." Rain said, looking around the scene.

'Yeah, I guess cave explorers couldn't go deep within the cave.' Jack said as he walked over to Rain. 'We should find a way out of here before it gets dark.'

Rain nodded in agreement before she got on Jack's back with Kuroi in her arms. Jack started walking through the cavern. Jack was able to find a pathway that might lead them out of here. But as he walks, Jack couldn't help but admire the beauty around the cavern that is filled with sparkling gemstones. Rain smiles at the scene, reminds her of her home planet. Jack, on the other hand, was glancing at Rain sometimes, happy to see her smile. He couldn't help but smile at her, finding her beautiful.

Jack mentally slapped himself, snapping himself out of his trance. He was starting to have a crush on Rain. But he likes Sierra. Though, part of him aka Wolf Blade believes that Sierra wasn't good for him. Like she was not the right girl for him. She only cares for popular/bad boys. Jack would feel awkward and uncomfortable when he's with Sierra. But Rain, however, he felt something inside of him that made him feel safe and comfortable around her. She was willing to help him on his journey and didn't care about his appearance or what he did. She was kind, smart, and special. Jack could feel himself blushing under his fur, thinking like an idiot. Rain couldn't like him that way...or did she?

Jack suddenly snapped out of his thoughts when he heard Rain gasping softly. Looking at her, she and Kuroi we're looking through the path with amazement in their eyes. He followed their gaze and his jaw almost touched the ground when he saw it. Right in front of them was a cavern, filled with rock formation like pools.

They were different colored bioluminescent algae, illuminating the cavern like an aurora. Rain gets off Jack and walks over to the pools. Jack follows her from behind and watches as she steps on top of the water and walks through the water with ease. Jack was amazed to see this before he saw Rain dancing through the water, happy to be here. Jack couldn't help but smile at her, seeing how happy she was being here. Suddenly, Rain started hopping from one pool to another, laughing with pure joy. She then gestured to Jack to join her, wanting him to join. At first, Jack hesitated, not sure if he should join, but inside of him was encouraging Jack to join her. With a little hesitation, Jack steps on the water and easily walks on it like if it was floor.

Rain laughs before she hops on one pool to next with Jack following her. Kuroi decided to fly since it was more fun to let those two play. Jack and Rain were on different sides, jumping to different pools, smiling happily at each other. Suddenly, Jack fell into a deep pool, submerging into the water. Rain stopped and went over to Jack's pool, wondering what happened. But she has no idea that Jack did it on purpose, so he can surprise her. Once she was close, Jack quickly emerges out of the water and uses his forpaws to grab her, but Rain turned into droplets of water, surprising and wetting Jack in the process.

She heard Rain giggling and turned his head to see her standing on another pool. He was surprised but for a short while before he smiled and got out of the pool towards her. The two raced each other through the cavern with Kuroi following them from behind. They reached another corridor and saw a dome-like structure that is filled with diamonds that sparkles on the dome ceiling, making it look like stars. Jack and Rain awed at the sight before them. Kuroi, on the other hand, was trying to peck a diamond out of the wall. Since he is raven, he likes shiny objects. He would've tried to get the gemstones on the other cavern, but the diamond was more shiny.

Jack and Rain were mesmerized by the shining diamonds that they didn't notice that they were standing close to each other. Kuroi was able to get a small shiny diamond out of the wall, he saw Jack and Rain standing close to each other. He decided not to ruin their moment since they were enjoying each other's company.

"Wow, they look like stars." Rain whispers in amazement.

'Yeah…' Jack whispers back, secretly looking at her.

Then they heard something from a distance. Jack became battle ready as Rain stood next to him, alert. Kuroi flies over to them and lands on Jack's back with a diamond in his beak. They looked over a passageway and heard strange sounds. Jack and Rain quickly hide behind a stalagmite. They heard strange sounds coming. It was big and they couldn't see it. They can only see the shadow of the creature. Jack narrowed his eyes. He needs a way to get the creature away from them. Jack could sense the danger of the creature. He knew that they can't fight it here or else it will cause a cave-in. Jack notices some small rocks on the ground.

An idea clicked in his mind as Jack looked at Rain, who looked at him, and gestured to her to get a rock. She wasn't sure why but did as she was told and picked up a rock. Once she did, Jack narrowed his eyes at the stalagmites that were far. He pointed out to Rain to throw one rock at the stalagmite. Understanding what he meant, Rain took one rock and looked at the stalagmites that were far. She threw the rock with all her might as it flew through the air and landed on the stalagmite, creating a ruckus causing the silhouette figure to go there. This gave them an opportunity to escape. Rain gets on Jack as he runs off quietly to the exit with Kuroi following from behind. Jack runs through the tunnel with Kuroi flying beside him. Jack uses his nose to sniff the air, he could smell the outside from here. But as they reached their destination, to their shock, the exit was blocked.

"Oh, no!" Rain exclaims in shock.

Jack was shocked, lost in words and didn't know what to do. Suddenly, they heard footsteps coming their way. Jack needs a plan fast or else they have to fight whatever is coming at them. Jack then had a crazy yet brilliant plan. He has never done it before but he has to try.

'Brace yourselves.' Jack said to Rain and Kuroi.

Kuroi lands in front of Rain as she holds on to Jack. The wolf takes a deep breath, Jack feels a strange energy coursing through his body, giving him strength that was unknown. His body started to turn into shadowy mist along with Rain and Kuroi. Soon, they turned into shadows and went through the blocked entrance like they were ghosts. The shadow got out and formed into Wolf Jack with Rain and Kuroi on his back. Jack opens his eyes, revealing that whole eyes were covered by shadows, but turns back into silver eyes after he blinks.

'Wow, it works.' Jack panted out.

Rain looks at Jack in amazement. "Jack, how did you do that?"

Jack simply shrugs. 'I don't know, I guess my instincts kicked in and told me what to do.' He answered to her.

Rain simply smiles at him. 'Then your instincts saved us.' She said kindly.

Jack smiles back and notices that the sun was setting. 'We should keep going and find a place to rest. The mountain is not that far.'

Rain and Kuroi, who still has the diamond in his beak, nodded as Jack started walking towards their destination. But as they did, they didn't notice that the blacked entrance suddenly vanished and something came out. It was the bear and on its back was the fox. They watched as Jack carried Rain and Kuroi on his back while the two teens were talking to one another. The fox seems to be pleased with what it did, tricking them into falling in the underground river and spending some quality time with each other. The bear, on the other hand, wasn't too pleased for the fox tricking Jack like that. Although, it did help Jack to find his hidden strength when the bear was testing him to see if he can use it to escape the cave without causing destruction.

Suddenly, the cougar appeared out of the corner of the cave with an eagle flying over, landing on a boulder next to them. The four spirit animals watched as Jack set off with his companions. They knew that Jack had almost completed his journey. However, the last challenge for Jack will be difficult.

For it will prove his faith.

Jack has been running through the forest with Rain on her back. Kuroi was flying to the sky, scouting the area. His diamond was being carried on Rain's pouch that was attached to her belt, knowing it will be safe with her. They've been traveling for two days as they have almost reached their destination. They didn't meet up with the moose brothers yet since they haven't reached the mountain yet or they were lost. Though their travel was peaceful, Jack and Rain were getting to know each other. Jack told her about his friends back at Jasper, including the Autobots (Yeah, he told her about them since she's an alien), as Rain promises to keep it a secret. Then Jack learns more about Rain as she tells him about her life back home. She used to live on a beautiful planet that was ruled by one king, who was kind and respectful, and lands with a never ending adventure. Jack and Rain became close with each other as they enjoyed their company. Kuroi gave them some space and let them get closer, though he would eavesdrop and snickers whenever Jack and Rain said something together, they would apologize and laugh a bit.

Safe to say, Jack was starting to have feelings for Rain, and so does she for Jack.

As they came close to the mountain, they heard two familiar mooses were walking out of the undergrowth, arguing about. Jack, Rain, and Kuroi were surprised to see them. They thought that the two brothers went off somewhere. Jack walks up to them, though the moose brothers were busy arguing with each other.

'I told you, it's that way!' Tucky points his hoof at the right side.

'And i say it's that way!' Nut points in the other direction.

'No it's not.' Tucky said.

'Yes it is!'

'Guys!' Jack called out to them.

'WHAT?!' The moose brothers exclaimed, turning to his direction. To their surprise, it was Jack, Rain, and Kuroi coming over to them.

'Hey, you guys made it!' Nut said happily.

'Boy, for a minute there, we thought we lost you guys, eh?' Tucky said.

"Sorry, we kind of took a detour." Rain apologized.

'A really long detour.' Jack added, making Rain giggle. 'I see you guys somehow found your way here.'

'Yup, and we didn't get lost.' Tucky lied.

Jack raises a brow. 'Really? Weren't you arguing with your brother recently about being lost?' He questions him.

'...N-No.' Tucky lied, causing Jack and Rain to chuckle at him.

'It's okay, we're almost at the mountain.' Jack said.

'Well, that's comforting.' Nut said.

With that, they headed towards the mountain's destination. They walked for hours, stopping at a nearby lake to drink, and move on. Jack could feel tension in the air as they almost reached the mountain. They reach to the foot of the mountain and stop for a while to observe it. It was going to be a hard climb since the mountain looks steep. Jack decided that it was best for the moose brothers to stay behind since it looked pretty dangerous for them. When Jack told them about going their separate ways since it was too dangerous for them, which they totally understand.

'We'll stay here and wait for you three.' Tucky said.

'Okay, and if there's any signs of trouble, get out of there as fast as you can.' Jack instructed.

'No problem with that.' Nut said in agreement. 'Good luck reaching the top.'

With a nod, Jack started hiking on the mountain with Rain on his back and Kuroi flying behind them. And thanks to Achak's training, Jack was easily maneuvered through the steep mountain. Rain hangs on to Jack as he climbs higher and higher on the mountain slopes. But as he went higher, things were getting harder for him, Rain, and Kuroi. The sky started to turn grey, lightning clashed through the sky, followed by thunder. Strong winds formed, giving them a hard time, especially Kuroi. He has to ride along with Rain on Jack as the wolf struggles to reach to the top. It was even too risky to go back down.

"The wind is getting stronger!" Rain exclimas through the wind, shielding her eyes.

'No kidding!' Jack yells out, squinting his eyes as he searches for the path.

Rain and Kuroi held on to his fur with all their might as Jack marched heavily through the strong winds and heavy rainfall. Rain can use her powers to block the raindrops on them, but the strong winds made it difficult for her to push the water back. Jack wasn't giving up on this. He has to reach to the top and ask the Great Spirits for help. Suddenly, Jack's ears perked up when he heard something breaking. Looking up, he gasped when he saw a log coming their way!

Before he could dodged, the log hit Jack so hard that it sent him flying off the edge with Rain and Kuroi. Rain and Jacked screamed as they plummeted to their doom. However, Jack was able to grab hold of the edge while Rain was lucky to catch a branch that was below the edge. Kuroi was able to stay in midair as he cawed in fear to see his friends in trouble.

'Rain!' Jack yelled out through the wind. His eyes wide as dinner plates to see Rain dangling on the far branch below him.

Rain was holding on the branch with both her hands with all her might, daring not to let go. She looks up to Jack with worry in her eyes.

"Jack-AH!" She suddenly yelps when the branch is slowly breaking.

'Rain, no!' Jack yelled in fear to see the branch almost breaking.

Kuroi saw this too and was cawing like crazy, worried about Rain as he struggled through the wind. The branch started breaking, due to the extra weight. Then Jack spotted something at the corner of his eye, it was a wolf. It has white fur and silver eyes, standing at the edge of the other side of the mountain, looking down at him blankly. Jack could feel like it was testing him like the other spirit animals. And he knew what he had to do.

So, without thinking, jumps off the edge and free falls towards Rain. Everything started to move slowly. The branch suddenly snaps, breaking in half as Rain falls to her doom. Jack was able to reach her and grab her as he uses his body to shield her when they crash as they fall to the dark abyss below them. Kuroi flaps his wings with all his might as he dives down after them, disappearing through the fog below them. After a while, nothing happened, until a flash of black light appeared from the fog and something erupted out of there.

It was Jack and Rain, who was clinging on his chest. But that's not all.

Jack has to black feathery wings on his back!

The wings were strong as they flapped through the powerful winds of the storm. Jack opens his eyes and notices that he is hovering through the air with a pair of black wings on his back!

'What the-' Jack cut his mid sentence when he realized something was familiar about these wings. 'K-Kuroi?'

Jack could feel Kuroi in his mind, indicating that he somehow became one with Jack and allowed him to have wings. That's when Jack remembers the magic lesson he had with Achak. The old shaman once told him that some animals can become a familiar, a magical partner that gives magical users some strength and share their abilities with. And that's when Jack soon realizes that Kuroi was his familiar as he saved him and Rain's life.

Speaking of Rain, the Water Galatria was alright and safe as he held her close to his furry chest. She was amazed and shocked to see Jack with wings. Jack smiles in relief, knowing that she was okay. But was cut off when a flash of lightning and thunder came. He looked up at the stormy sky and then to the mountain, an idea came into his mind and it was crazier than any of Miko's ideas. He looks down at Rain with determination.

'Rain, you might want to hang on.' He said.

Knowing what he meant, Rain holds onto him as Jack looks at the mountain that was covered by the storm .

'All right, Kuroi. Are you ready?' Jack said to his raven familiar.

Jack could hear Kuroi agreeing with him, saying that he was ready for anything. Soon, Jack flaps his powerful wings, and like a bullet, he zooms through the stormy sky and towards the clouds. The winds have no effect on him as Jack soars through the air with ease, his heart and mind focused through the task. Jack narrowed his eyes as he went through the dark clouds and came out to a clear night sky. Jack and Rain were amazed to see the beautiful night sky, covered with stars. But they can admire it later as they see the mountain up ahead. Jack flaps his wings and zooms to the top of the mountain, hovering above the land as he gently places Rain onto the ground while Jack lands beside her, wings folded. Rain looks at him with shock and gratitude on her face. She brushed off a strand of her blue hair behind her ear and smiled at Jack.

"Thank you for saving me, Jack." Rain thanked him.

Jack smiles back. 'You're welcome, Rain.'

Then the wings on Jack's back glow and disappear as they transform back to Kuroi. The raven flaps his wings and lands on Rain's shoulder, cawing happily. They both smiled at him as Rain pats the Raven's head gently.

'And quick thinking, Kuroi.' Jack praised his raven familiar, giving him a smile. 'You really saved the day.'

Kuroi caws happily and accepts the compliment. Jack smiles before he notices that something wasn't right. The sky was still dark and nothing was happening. The Great Spirits weren't here and everything was so...quiet. Jack looks around while Rain notices Jack's distress.

"Jack? What's wrong?" She asked worriedly.

'Sorry, it's just...I thought the Great Spirits might be here but...they're not.' Jack said softly, looking at the sky. 'Do you think I...fail?' He questioned himself.

Rain sits in front of him, her eyes filled with determination and seriousness with a hint of kindness. "Jack, you saved me from my imprisonment from that Monstrum. You led and saved us from the ravine and cave. You would do anything to protect your friends. And there's no way, the Great Spirits can fail you."

Jack couldn't help but smile at her, grateful at Rain for being a good friend. Soon, he hugs her gently, resting his head on her other shoulder. Rain smiles gently and hugs him back along with Kuroi. Suddenly, the night sky suddenly changed as a beautiful aurora erupted from the sky, surrounding it with colorful lights and animal spirits. The ground started to change as plant life soon came out from the ground in seconds. Jack, Rain, and Kuroi were startled by this, but soon amazed by the scene before them. Suddenly, Jack was lifted from the ground, swirls of colorful light surrounded Jack as it turned him back to his human form. He was still wearing pants and vest along with the wolf totem. The lights gently put Jack on his feet as he looked at himself in shock and amazement. Rain looks at him with wide and shocked eyes to see Jack's human form.

"Jack?" Rain whispers in shock.

Jack looks up at her after he finishes looking at himself. He smiles and holds up his hand. Rain watches him as she slowly lifts her hand up and pressed her palm on his before their fingers intertwined.

"It's me." Jack said softly with a smile.

Rain smiles back before she hugs him while Jack hugs her back. Kuroi caws happily as he flies around them. As soon as they let go and Kuroi landed on Jack's shoulder, they saw the spirit of a dragoness and a woman coming down from the aurora. Rain gasped in shock and amazement to see the dragon. She got down on her knees and bowed at the dragoness, since on her planet, dragons are considered sacred. The dragoness smiles at her gently.

"There is no need for that, dear child." She said gently to Rain, who looked up at her in shock.

The woman looks at Jack with a gentle smile. "Jackson Darby, you have successfully passed all the trials that animal spirits gave you."

Jack was shocked to hear this. "I-I did?"

The woman smiles as the spirit animals appear before them. "Yes, they have tested your skills and heart." She said.

The dragoness spoke next as she explained the tests of the animal spirits. "The eagle tested you to see if you will follow his guidance, and successfully found and saved Rain." She said.

Rain holds Jack's hand gently as he holds hers tight.

"The cougar tested your leadership and saw how you saved and led your friends into safety." The woman added.

"The bear and the fox tested your strength and cunningness as you evaded the danger in the cave and used your hidden strength to escape the cave without destruction." The dragoness said next.

"And finally, you reach your final destination." The woman said to Jack, walking up to him as the wolf spirit came by her side. "You learn the meaning of this journey as you discover not just only your true nature but also friendship and love."

Jack and Rain looked at each other with smiles on their faces before looking back to the woman and the dragoness. "Will the Great Spirits answer my questions?"

"Yes, but you are only allowed to have three questions." The woman said to him.

"Three only?" Jack asked in surprise.

"Yes, the Great Spirits' knowledge is so great, they have to keep it to a minimum." The dragoness said to him.

"I understand." Jack said to them as Kuroi perched on his shoulder. He was allowed to ask three questions, he better make this count. Jack closed his eyes and took a deep breath and sigh, opening them and looked at the two females and asked his first question.

"I want to know who my dad really is." Jack whispers out.

The woman and the dragoness nodded as the scene around them changed, revealing an inside of a dark forest. "You father, Silver, was not always a human nor mutant." The woman said. "But an alien from another planet."

Coming out of the corner of the dark forest was a titan-like humanoid wolf with silver eyes, black fur, and long tail. He wears a black upper armor, red pans that black leg bracers, armored armbands, and a red hooded cloak. He walks through the forest with a dark and blank expression on his face. Jack and Rain were shocked to see Jack's father. He's gotta be twice the size of Optimus.

"Jack…" Rain whispers, causing Jack to look at her. "Your father...he's a Monstrum."

"What?" Jack asked in shock. "But, I thought that thing I freed you was a-"

"There are different kinds of Monstrums." Rain cuts him off as she explains to him. "The lowest ones are called Omegas, they lack intelligence, but are aggressive and rely on brute strength."

"The one that you were trapped on was an Omega, right?" Jack asked her, earning a nod from Rain.

"Yes, there are other Omegas, those are Fliers, Attackers, Defenses, Trackers, Swimmers and Camouflagers. Then there's Betas. They almost resemble earth's insects and mammals, like your father. They are the second strongest Monstrums. But the strongest of them all are the Alphas. They look like reptiles and lizards, they are both vile and dangerous."

"But, how can my dad be like...that!" Jack exclaims, gesturing the image of his titan-wolf father, who disappeared through the forest, going somewhere that was unknown.

"Monstrum Alpha and Beta are known to have magic. They can turn into beast forms and human forms."

Jack was shocked to hear this information, his father was an alien in disguise, and the kind of alien that captured and destroyed Rain's home and people. And yet, he was devoted father and husband to Jack and his mom. How did this happen?

"Your father was once a ruthless killer, until it all changed, when he met your mother." The dragoness said to him.

The image fades to reveal Jasper, Nevada. It was back in the nineties since some stores and markets looked old. Jack saw Silver walking in his human form, wearing a black parka coat. Was walking through the dark streets with his hands on the parka's pockets. He was walking through the streets with a blank expression when he heard a woman screaming. This caught the two teens and the raven's attention as they watched Silver looking at the ally. There, Jack saw his mom, June-when she was a teenager-, was cornered in an alley by some thugs. They looked like they were going to rob her.

"Your father's reason to go to Earth was unknown, but in doing so, he saved your mother." The woman said to Jack.

Jack, Rain, and Kuroi watched as Silver stared at the scene blankly, like he shouldn't interfere. However, something inside of him snapped, as if he had to help her. With an annoying sigh, Silver walks over to them silently. Jack, Rain, and Kuroi watched as Silver sneak behind the leader, who grabbed June's arm roughly, before the Monstrum in disguise tapped the leader's shoulder. The leader of those thugs turned, only got a fist on the face by Silver. The leader was knocked out cold before Silver beat up the rest of the thugs with incredible martial arts. He grabbed one thug by the arm and kneed him on the stomach before tossing him away. The second thug tried to punch him but Silver Judo flipped him onto the ground and twisted his arm, making the thug scream in pain. And the last one, who was shaking in fear, was holding a small pocket knife, trying to act all threatening.

But Silver wasn't afraid, he was rather not impressed by this. Before the last thug could try anything, Silver flips behind him, knocking the thug off his feet, and kicks him in the head. As the last one fell into unconsciousness, June stared at Silver in shock as the Monstrum in disguise paid no attention towards her. He left the scene without a second glance as June thanks him but he ignores her.

"Your father never paid attention to your mother when she tried to go near him, but in time, he began to develop feelings towards her." The woman explains to them.

They watched Silver and June at the library, reading books about medicine and first aid. Silver gave June some advice about the right pressure points to relax the patient or stop the bleeding since she was studying to be a nurse and Silver knows about human autonomy. The image changed again to see Silver and June were at the park, sitting at the bench and embracing themselves, as they both watched the sunset together.

"Silver and June formed a forbidden bond, a bond of two world blood." The dragoness listed out.

"A bond of love." Rain whispers in shock, getting Jack's attention. "A Monstrum that falls in love is a major crime in their community."

"W-What do you mean?" Jack dares to ask.

"The Monstrums have a code that should never be broken. And that code was to never fall in love." Rain explains, shocking Jack in the process. "Your father must've broken that code so he can be with your mother."

"It is true, your father knew it was risky, but all he cared about was your mother and you." The woman said, gesturing the image to see baby Jack being held by both his happy parents. Jack could feel his eyes water at the sight before him. Both his parents loved each other and him. His father may be an alien, but he chose his own path to be with his mom and him.

"He risks everything to be with us." Jack whispers to himself.

"Yes, he's been in hiding ever since, but sadly. The Monstrum found him and punished him for his crime." The dragoness said solemnly.

Hearing this, Jack and his friends watched in shock to see Silver, at the desert of Afghanistan, he was wearing a military uniform and carrying an assault rifle, he was counting the area when a bright light came out from the sky, a tractor beam to be exact. Silver struggles to escape, but he is lifted from the ground.

"DAD!" Jack yelled as he tried to save his dad, but sadly, it was only a scene playing as Silver was taking to the sky. But not before he removed his wedding ring and dropped it with his rifle gun, before he disappeared through the mysterious night as the light left a giant crater. Jack stared in horror to see his father was gone. He was right when he was young, his father wasn't killed, he was taken.

"All this time...everyone thought he died...he was actually taken...because of me." Jack whispers out in shame and guilt.

"Jack, it wasn't your fault." Rain assured her friend.

"She is correct." The dragoness said. "Your father chose his fate. He chose to fall in love and start a family. And he has no regrets on his decision, for he protected you and your mother from his own kind."

"He sacrificed himself for us." Jack whispers out with pride mixed with sadness.

The two females nodded. "Yes, Jackson. You and your mother were safe, because your father never told them your existence and location. He did it out of love." The woman said.

Tears fall down on Jack's eyes. His father gave his life, to protect him and his mother from his own kin. A true father he was.

"I wish I could see him again." Jack whispers out. "Tell him that I'm grateful to have a father like him."

"He is not dead, Jackson." The woman said, shocking Jack and his friends. "For he is alive and a prisoner to the Monstrums."

"Do you know where he is?" Jack pleaded.

"The Great Spirits cannot say, for they do not know his location." The dragoness said to him. "But they assure you that he is alive."

"He is?" Jack asked hopefully, earning a nod from the two females. He smiles at them gratefully. "Thank you…" He whispers with a smile before he realizes something. His mom.

"Do the Great Spirits know about my mom?" Jack asked hopefully.

"Is that your second question, Jackson?" The dragoness asked.

Jack nodded. "Yes."

"Very well." The woman and dragoness said unison as the image changed to reveal Zosia's Island. There, they saw June-wearing a blue sundress-was playing with Zosia's adoptive children. She was alive and well, and there were no signs of injuries on her. Jack was relieved to see her alive. She looks like she was having a fun time.

"Your mother was saved by a shaman named Zosia." The woman said to Jack. "She healed her and let her live on her island, where she can be safe."

Jack looks at his mother's smiling face, happy that she was alive and safe. "She misses you, Jackson. She awaits for your return." The dragoness said to him.

"Mom…" Jack whispers out, seeing his mom was alright. He thought she died by the gunshot, but she survived, and now she is safe. He smiles at the image, whipping his tears away as he looks at the two females. "Thank you.

"You are welcome, Jackson." The woman said kindly. "Now, what is your final question to the Great Spirits?"

Jack stops and thinks for his last question. He wanted to know the location of his mother and finding out what happened to his friends. He wanted to know if they were okay or if they were worried about him. Then his eyes shifted towards Rain. He remembers that the Great Spirits can only answer his questions. But he wasn't sure if they could answer Rain's question. After all, she's been through so much, and helped him in his journey. And now, it's his turn to help her.

"For my last question, I want to know how to help Rain's people." Jack asked them, surprising and shocking Rain in the process.

The woman smiles at him. "Wise question, Jackson."

The image changed to reveal an island that was far from any content. "In a hidden island lives powerful beings called Predacons." The woman explains to them.

"Predacons?" Jack asked in curiosity.

"They are a fierce and predatory race of ancient Cybertronians. They were wiped out by a Great Cataclysm on Cybertron centuries ago, before most life began on Cybertron." The dragoness said.

"Cybertronians?" Jack whispers out before looking at them. "They're like Earth's Dinosaurs. Which means, for them, running into one would be like us meeting a T-Rex."

"Have you encountered a T-Rex?" Rain asked Jack curiously.

"Not really, but I heard one is cloned at Jurassic World." Jack said, remembering Miko rambling about the amazing amusement park that has living, breathing dinosaurs.

"Indeed, however, the Predacon are not like Earth's dinosaurs." The woman said as the image changed to reveal the Predacons on the island, relaxing and enjoying their home. "They are more mythical."

"But those are metal versions of creatures from our Greek mythology and medieval literature." Jack stated out to them. "Not dinosaurs."

"True, but your cultures and theirs are quite similar to one another and share the same historical text." The woman explains.

"But they're from Cybertron." Jack stated out to them.

"Indeed, but they came to Earth as they were rescued by kind hearted beings." The dragoness said, changing the scene to reveal kids, that were Raf's age and one was a little girl with blue eyes, were playing with the Predacons. "They brought them here and gave them a new beginning."

"And the little girl with the blue eyes, she is the reason that they are here, for she is the Key of the Gate of Beginning." The woman said to them.

Rain gasped in shock as she smiled at the little girl, so the last heir is on Earth! Rain was so glad that she was safe. Jack stared at the little girl in shock. She carries something powerful that can change everything.

"The Great Spirits know their location, but they will give it to you, if you promise to help them stop the Monstrums from taking over Earth and protect the child from danger." The dragoness said to Jack.

Jack looks over to Rain and Kuroi and asks them. "Are you guys with me?"

Rain responded by holding his hand tightly. "Always." She said with a smile.

Kuroi caws in agreement, making Jack smile.

They turn towards the two females as Jack said to them with determination in his voice. "We promise to help them and protect the little girl."

With that, the dragoness lifted a single claw and gently placed it on Jack's forehead. Images flash before him as Jack learns about the location of the island. As she withdrew her claw from him, Jack looked at them and nodded his head slightly.

"I promise you both, that we will do our best." Jack vowed to them.

They both smiled at him. "We know you will." The woman said.

"Wait." Jack suddenly said, getting the two females' attention. "Can I at least know who you two are?"

The two females smiled at him gently.

"I am Alma, mother of Valentina." The woman named Alma said to him.

"And I am Celestinya, mother of Celestia." Celestinya said next.

"If you meet our daughters, tell them we loved them with all our hearts and souls." Alma said to them.

Jack and Rain nodded at her. "We will tell them." Jack promised them.

Smiling, the spirit of Alma got on Celestinya's back as the spirit dragon spread her white wings wide before she took off to the aurora with the spirit animals following them from behind. They watched with a smile as the aurora disappeared through the sky. Suddenly, Rain hugs Jack happily, grateful for what Jack did for her. Jack soon spins her around while Kuroi flies around them, as they all laugh with pure joy.

Later, Jack, Rain, and Kuroi meet up with the moose brothers. And they all headed back to Achak's home. There, they were greeted by Achak and Muraco. The old shaman was filled with pride at Jack's success. But what's more surprising that he introduced them to his new friends. And said that with their help, he succeeded on his journey and learned more of himself and his family.

But before he leaves with Rain, he has one more thing to do.

At the village wall, there were some villagers playing instruments while some were dressed up as animals and danced through the beat, symbolizing and showing respect to the spirit animals. The rest of the villagers were smiling as they moved aside as they allowed Achak to walk through while carrying a torch in hand. Achak sighs with a smile as Muraco appeared beside him, they both smiled at each other as Achak handed Muraco the torch. He soon lights up the bonfire. And the village erupted with cheers.

Jack will leave to search for the island with the help of Rain and Kuroi. He learned that love is very powerful. And he will pass on the wisdom of his story, to others: The story of a boy who became a man, by becoming a wolf.

Soon, they and the villagers turned their heads to a curtain direction before they moved aside to reveal Jack, in his wolf form and wearing his wolf totem on his neck, walking through the villagers with a smile on his face. The villagers accepted Jack as their clan member, for he succeeded in his journey.

Great Spirits of all who lived before
Take our hands
Take our hands and lead us

Jack walks through the crowd with a smile on his muzzle as he looks at the villagers gratefully. He saw Kuroi sitting beside the children, cawing happily at his friend's success. Tucky and Nut were behind them, smiling at him. Jack walks up the Achak and Muraco. And with them was Rain, smiling at Jack happily.

Fill our hearts
Fill our hearts and souls with all you know
You know, you can show.

When Jack comes in front of them, Muraco ruffles his head, earning a light snort from Jack. Muraco helps Jack dip his front paw on the red paint and places his mark on the wall with the rest of the marks. Jack smiles at it with pure joy as the villagers erupted with cheers.

Show us that in your eyes
We are all the same
Brothers to each other.

Muraco played with Jack's ears before the wolf gently pushed him off playfully, causing him to fall backwards while laughing. He was soon hugged by Rain and Kuroi flew over to him, landing on his back in the process. Muraco got up and smiled at them with Achak as Jack, Rain, and Kuroi looked at the cheering villagers.

Unaware that the spirit animals were watching Jack's ceremony from afar of a cliff while the eagle was perched on a branch of a tree. They soon left the scene and the eagle tooks off to the sky.

In this world, we remain
Truly brothers all the same
Brothers all the same!

And Rain is Jack's girlfriend, not Sierra. I hope you guys liked it. It took me forever. The next chapter is where Jack, Rain, and Kuroi will meet Val and her friends along with the Predacons.

And please stay safe, I'm worried about you guys getting the virus.

See you soon!
