The Transformers, or Cybertronians as they call themselves, were fighting a civil war that lasted for millions of years, and is still being waged in the present…

The Autobots, which formed from much of Cybertron's old government, were led by the heroic and just Optimus Prime, who many believed to be the reincarnation of one of the Thirteen, the original Primes of folklore that banished the Chaos Bringer, Unicron near when the universe came into existence…

The Decepticons were made up of many radicals and revolutionists lead by the powerful and mighty Megatron, a former gladiator-turned-political-mover, whose ambitions changed for the worse as he sought power and conquest wherever he goes…

The war brought brother to fight against brother, and no place on Cybertron was safe, especially after Megatron managed to kill the Autobots' leader, Sentinel Zeta Prime, Optimus Prime's predecessor…

Megatron's will and cunning will not stop until all the universe bends to his will…

And he will destroy anyone who gets in his way…

No matter who, or what, they are…


-[You Don't Need Me - Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen Complete Score]-

"So…the fact you mention you came from another planet…means you're an alien, right…?"

Issei still felt the pain he was inflicted upon by the metal robot named Optimus Prime, it was different in how the sheer power in that chokehold alone inflicted the same pain as being choked by a rope blessed by holy power.

Xenovia and Irina still looked poised to spring into action at Optimus, Xenovia especially out of revenge for what he did to Issei earlier. Ravel, Asia, & Rias huddled around the Red Dragon Emperor, with Rias looking into Optimus Prime's eyes for any sign of deception.

"To give you a simple answer, yes-…" Optimus Prime answered as he stood still with his arms crossed, only for them all to be alerted by the sounds of wood creaking.

With a loud groan and creaking wood alerting everyone, they turned to the direction of the largest bot in the room, Rossweisse backing away immediately and quickly to her friends, not wanting a repeat of what happened to Issei to happen to her.

The huge bot groaned in pain as it stood up, its gargantuan weight stressing the wood floorboards to their limit, and it spoke in a low, masculine growl, "Hurt…everywhere…bad…"

Asia heard that the goliath robot said it was hurting and immediately ran beside it to use her Twilight Healing on it, hearing Optimus say, "Thank the Allspark, I feared the worse when you took his attack head on, Sludge. I am relieved you are still with us, brother…"

Asia looked at Optimus questioningly at him calling the big robot, now identified as Sludge, brother. Rias noticed the words too, but unlike Asia, who is probably thinking Sludge was really his brother, figured Optimus was calling Sludge a brother in the sense of a brother-in-arms, instead of a familial brother.

Asia, the kind soul she is, said to Sludge as she placed her hands over his side, "Don't worry…umm…Sludge, is it? I'll heal you, so please stay still…"

Sludge noticed the former holy maiden and quickly stood up, saying in a weird tone, "No glowing light stuff! Prefer Doc…no trust glowy-glow from top hat lady…"

Issei thought as he heard the words coming out of Sludge's voice, Oh great…he sounds completely stupid. He's a ****ing idiot!

More whirring motors had alerted everyone that the other robots were starting to wake up, or activate or something…they didn't know.

One bot awoke behind the group with a loud groan (the kind one makes when stretching), they saw a shorter, red and white robot stand up. It was shorter than Optimus Prime and Sludge, but was still a sizable 5 and a half feet tall.

Xenovia and Irina were ready to attack the bot behind them, until they saw a symbol they recognized on the metal plates on its shoulders.

"That's…a cross!" Irina stated aloud, thoughts began forming in her head at the possibility of this robot being a follower of God.

The crosses on the red and white robot's shoulders were indeed crosses, but they were specifically crosses associated with first aid kits, or hospitals, or given it had tires and a car's nose for a chest, an ambulance.

Optimus saw this bot and said in a calm, yet serious tone, "First Aid, send out your medical drones and begin treating everyone's injuries."

The bot named First Aid heard the order from his commander and looked at him, the groaning Autobots, and a whining Sludge. The ambulance robot said as he pressed a button on his arm, "On it, Optimus Prime sir!"

Asia continued to try to heal Sludge, but he kept moving away from Asia, the wood beneath his feet groaning more as he continually shifted his weight.

"No! Take healing from Aid-bot, not glowing-stuff!" Sludge said with horrible grammar, acting like a child, much to Asia's insistence and Issei and Xenovia's frustrations at Sludge's rudeness.

"Hey ***hole! You let Asia heal you right-!" Issei began to shout, until a loud snap cracked in the air and interrupted his thoughts.

-[Guildmaster Wigglytuff - Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time/Darkness/Sky]-

Issei noticed that Sludge seemed to be off center, and looked at his feet, noticing that his left foot was in a hole in the floor. More loud creaks and wood snapping told everyone that the entire floor looked ready to collapse, and it did…

Everyone jumped and released their wings as the entire club room's floor crashed to the floor below. All the robots shouted as they fell, Issei's ears picked up among the majority of masculine shouts, he heard one or two feminine shouts, triggering his perverted tendencies. He quickly snapped out of it when he heard Asia's screams among the surprised shouts, and saw that she didn't release her devil wings, she likely was too distracted to notice the floor collapsing.

He was about to go and save her, but Sludge grabbed Asia and turned his back to the floor below, using his body to shield the blonde beauty.

As the floor crashed down, amidst all the grunts the bots made as they hit the floor, one of the bots said in a somewhat youthful sounding voice, "Sludge! You moron! You collapsed the floor with your fat***…again!"

Issei couldn't help but chuckle at that comment, and then couldn't help but feel weirded out as whoever said that sounded just like a classmate of his.

"You okay girl?" Sludge said in a manner that made it obvious what his intelligence is and he's a little hurt from the fall, as Asia perked herself up on top of his chest and said, "Thank you for saving me…"

Asia's innocent face remained, as she sat with her hands and knees on his chest and said in a slightly more mischievous manner she could manage, "Now I have you pinned, so let me heal you…"

Sludge's optics widen as he tried to sit up again, only for Asia to be picked up by one of First Aid's drones with a claw and placed her on the floor, it saying in a robotic voice, #"PLEASE REFRAIN FROM MAKING PHYSICAL CONTACT WITH THE PATIENT DURING THE OPERATION!"#

Issei flew immediately towards Asia with Xenovia and Irina to see if she was okay, noticing how those medical drones were releasing greenish-blue rays of light on the groaning robots, as Optimus helped up a robot that had decals like a race car.

Optimus said to the robot as he propped him up like he was limping, "I got you, Jazz…"

Issei nearly burst laughing when he heard the race car bot named Jazz speak like a black man (as Jazz sounded like a comedian he heard years ago), "No no, I'm fine Prime, just scratches on my paint-job. You don't need to help me up, my man…"

Rias put her hand over her forehead as she said to herself, "Big Brother, Azazel, and Lord Michael will not like this at all…"

"Too late for that…" a gruff voice said as it belonged to the Occult Research Club's advisor, and the leader of the Fallen Angels, Azazel.

Rias heard groaning from the door of the clubroom and saw a yellow and black robot use the door frame to hold itself up, but she heard radio static as the robot apparently spoke using a car radio…

#"What the hell…happened here? And…why…are we…small?"#

This is going to be a chore to clean up and figure out, Rias and many others thought, as the ORC thoughts still wondered where Gasper Vladi was…


Meanwhile…


-[Chernobyl - Transformers: Dark of the Moon Expanded Score]-

Out in the orbit of Mars, a large spaceship stood motionless as gravity coasted it around the Red Planet. In the ship's bridge, a massive 29 foot tall grey robot stood observing a video feed of the planet he knew seemed to be everywhere he went.

The grey robot had a bulky frame, tank treads on the back of his legs, broad shoulders that had upturned spikes that gave the illusion of devil horns, and on his right arm, a huge dark grey cannon. His eyes glowed an intimidating red color, his mouth had slightly pointy teeth as he grunted in annoyance at the sight of that blasted blue orb, that planet Earth, floating in the universe, and his helmet had a flat top with the sides that gave his helmet an imposing aura…

This was Megatron, leader of the Decepticons and among the strongest & mightiest of all Cybertronians. As the Decepticons' rule of power is determined by might, it gave a clue to just how powerful Megatron was…

He was here on a mission, one to deal with an obstacle in his path of universal conquest, now multiversal conquest, his current foe occupying his twisted thoughts for cycles…

And that foe…

…wasn't the Autobots…

A figure stepped on the bridge, a Decepticon a foot or two shorter, with a glowing red visor and a square chest. The Decepticon held out an arm that had what looked like a robotic hawk or condor on his arm.

He spoke in an unusual, techno-sounding voice, "Laserbeak reporting in on his scouting mission to Earth, Lord Megatron…"

"Ah Soundwave…" Megatron said in a low scratchy voice, "What news does your little assassin bring?"

The robot named Soundwave answered, "The Autobots and their allies were detected on Earth, specifically the archipelago the humans call Japan. Their life signals came online a few millicycles ago. Meaning they had followed us here to this dimension in an attempt to thwart our plans…"

Megatron's grin turned into an angry sneer as he said, "Prime and who else, Soundwave…"

"Laserbeak reports that the Autobots' allies that arrived with them are among the human you've placed a bounty on, and that hedgehog. Laserbeak's scans were incomplete, he detected signatures that match several superheroes and alien life forms from the other realities. But he did not detect the energy signatures of the gods that Optimus Prime allied himself with…" Soundwave replied to his master, whose expression soured at the mention of the hedgehog and human.

The last thing Megatron wanted was to deal with the two organics that infuriate him as much as Prime, the only ones he feels the same hatred for as his rival.

The tyrant threw a fist outwards to his right and it connected with a standard Vehicon drone and launched the Decepticon into the wall. The con in question grunted as he smacked the wall and landed hard on the floor, saying "I'm okay" as the act distracted the pilots and engineers on the bridge.

Megatron hissed with fury, but then took a deep breath (which he doesn't need air to breath) and chuckled a little. He thought about it, and realized that if the gods that allied themselves to the Autobot cause, the gods that more or less are the superiors of that multiversal group, aren't here, then it was a golden opportunity to eradicate much of the obstacles in his way of ruling the multiverse, and their leader who happens to also be the leader of the Autobots.

"I have a plan in motion to distract those pests…" Megatron said with an evil smirk, as he then shouted, "Blackout! To the bridge immediately!"

With thunderous footsteps a massive 33 ft tall robot entered the bridge, his frame seemed to indicate that this guy could overpower Megatron if he wanted. But this is Blackout, one of Megatron's most loyal followers, him often being called Megatron's hound dog. His chassis had elements that matched those of a military helicopter.

"What is it that you command, master…" Blackout asked in a deep voice that would make grown men wet themselves in fear.

Megatron smirked as he gave the order, "The Autobots and their allies are on the Earth of this universe, to incite conflict, you will go to Earth and attack one of the United States' military bases and destroy it. Steal information from their network while you're at it, leave no survivors. Any base will do, but to put them in a, what they call a 'Trigger happy mentality', attack one of their bases in where they call the 'Middle East' and sour relations between those countries. Likely this will entice the Autobots to stop you. And should you encounter that human or rat, capture them and bring them to me, I want to be the one who ends their miserable existence myself, with my own hands!"

Blackout bowed as he said, "As you command, Lord Megatron. Mightiest of all. It shall be done…"

Blackout left as Megatron's smirk twisted more evilly, he turned to the monitor and said to Soundwave, "Have Buzzsaw bear witness to Blackout's assault, Soundwave. And have Laserbeak continue searching Earth for what we came here for…"

Soundwave bowed and as he began to leave, Megatron added, "Oh and do be sure the Doctor sends his machines to the Autobot's last known location. This is an excellent opportunity to test my new attack drones, by destroying the Autobots…"


Back on Earth,

30 Minutes Later…


-[Your Choice: Highschool DxD]-

Rias' father had wiped the memories of much of the student body and the school faculty as he put up an illusion around the old school building to hide its damages caused by their visitors to Kuoh Academy. The only others who joined them were the peerage of Sona Sitri, the student council president of Kuoh Academy & Rias' childhood friend.

They were standing outside to behold around 23 alien robots (they now know were called Autobots) of varying sizes and shapes.

A few of them were sitting on the ground as First Aid and his medical drones examined them, his built in monitors measured various signals that Asia noticed looked like differing heart monitors, which First Aid explained to her are the readings on any of the Cybertronian's seven senses part of their biology.

This really confused everyone when the medic bot explained that, as they seem like machines, yet he made it clear that they were more like living creatures than robots. Rossweisse, Issei, and Rias figured they must be alive somehow as they had pulses, and they feel pain, a few traits only living creatures had.

Thanks to simply observing First Aid check up on the injured Autobots, they found out that the drops of glowing blue liquid they found was something analogous to oil for them, or blood if they were living beings.

Well they must be, if six of these Autobots present were clearly female, based on their voices and/or their feminine builds. All living creatures, have sexes for the sake of reproduction and the continuation of a species, a male and female, so it seems more likely that they were more like living creatures than machines by that logic. Of course, they could've simply been built that way for a variety of functions.

They got to witness one of these supposed functions earlier when the Autobots tried to step out of the building as they requested, but they were exceedingly heavy for their sizes, so a couple of them then shifted into air vehicles and carried the rest of them out. They seem to 'transform' at will as they shifted from vehicle to robot with ease, which did explain why their bodies and armor looked like parts of a vehicle.

Tons of questions were filled in everyone's heads as they observed these Autobots, especially their commander, this Optimus Prime, helping his medic with the check ups on the injured bots.

They observed all these bots, and tried to remember what they all look like for reasons relevant to the future…:

There was a yellow bot as tall as Kiba, who seems to talk through a car radio who invoked characteristics of a muscle car of sorts based on the 'kibble' on its body, with the car doors looking like wings on its back, even though they were obviously not meant for flying.

Beside this yellow bot was a mostly black female bot with red and white accents, her face looked like she was wearing makeup like a geisha as her head's top didn't draw the similarities already. She was one of the bots everyone from the ORC saw transform, and she transformed into a propeller jet of some kind, a modern-eske jet with turbines or fans of sorts on her wings.

There was Sludge, the biggest bot among them at the moment, he and another Autobot stood out among the others as they didn't have any vehicle parts on them. The other bot, who Sludge identified as Swoop (a name that made Issei think how original sarcastically), they saw transform, but Swoop transformed into a robotic creature that everyone identified as a pterodactyl (in reality, a Pteranodon, but they didn't get that yet) as he helped the other flying Autobots get the others out of the building to not destroy the place further than it already is.

There was also one bot that Optimus Prime called Jazz, who sounded like an African American man in his speech pattern. He seemed to have parts of a fast, sporty car, a different model than the one the yellow bot seems to have.

A particularly noticeable bot, or bots, were two red and teal female Autobots that transformed into helicopters that kinda looked military-eske in design, and a energetic, silvery grey male bot who sounded young compared to the others whose voices were heard. The young bot called himself Sideswipe, and his decals were a sporty car too, but one that seemed like something from America.

There were a few generic looking bots who elected to remain silent, the red bot Xenovia kicked while it was offline, holding hands with a blue female robot as they seemed to embrace each other in love (which made a few of the women get awestruck). The one that seemed to concern everyone the most was a really loud red bot who had parts that obviously belonged to a military grade tank, he had the tank's barrel poking out of his chest like it was a part of him.

Rias had explained to Optimus Prime about devils and the like when he asked what was up with their wings (thusly explaining their world). Rias noticed he seemed slightly concerned when she said that she and a majority of the group were devils, like he faced her kind, or something really similar before.

-[Your Choice: Transformers]-

So Optimus thought it was necessary to give the group the names of his troops after they told him theirs, so he began…

"This is my first lieutenant, who goes by the name designation, Jazz…"

"Nice to meet ya!" Jazz saluted in a friendly manner.

"These are my weapon specialists, Ironhide and Warpath…"

"You feelin' lucky, you punks!?" Warpath (the red tank) shouted as his arms manifested huge cannons that look like they can destroy armored vehicles easy, until Ironhide (the red van) said in a kinda crude American accent, "Easy trigger fingers, save those for the Decepti-creeps will you…especially ol bucket head!"

The name (?) mentioned by Ironhide confused everyone as Optimus introduced the others.

The yellow muscle car's name was Bumblebee (which made Issei smirk as he held in a laugh, and some of the girls thought it was a cute name for a cute bot), the geisha looking plane was named Windblade, the twin helicopters were named Skyburst & Stormclash (who actually were twins, which confused the Occult Research Club more), a large (heavy looking) green bot was named Bulkhead, the plane bot that Rossweisse examined earlier was named Silverbolt (and was told he lead a small team of Autobots called the Aerialbots), a red muscle car was named Cliffjumper (who bore a remarkable resemblance to Bumblebee), the blue female that was with Ironhide was named Chromia, a white bot with green and red stripes named Wheeljack (a fierce warrior & goofy inventor), a female bot who was somewhat smaller than the others named Rust Dust (who had similar colors to the twin copters), and a red robot who didn't look like he turned into any vehicle in particular was named Perceptor that Optimus explained is a brilliant scientist.

"And these four are, A-903, D-002, Y-331, & L-709…" Optimus said as he introduced the more plain and generic looking Autobots among the varied and colorful group.

#"Someone…please…explain to me…why…are we so small…?"# Bumblebee said through his radio as First Aid decided to examine his vocal processors.

"I'd like to know as well…" D-002 said in a feminine voice, despite having a more ambiguous body shape.

"Hmm…" Perceptor wondered as he took a drop of the glowing blue fluid from First Aid's drone and then transformed into a giant microscope, which caught the devils and etc. off guard as his body made a sound as he transformed (a sound they can't help but think sounds like an iconic sound effect one would associate with an 80s cartoon), hearing the whirring of his lens and hearing Perceptor say to himself the things scientists always say (i.e., Fascinating, how unusual, etc.)…

Optimus knew his old friend well, and asked him, "Perceptor, have you found an answer to our current predicament?"

Perceptor transformed back into robot mode and answered his commander, "Yes…it seems that the Pym Particles are the catalyst to our predicament, but it's an overcharge of spacialis-temporialias energy we've found is consistent with the energy found in the barriers of time and space that is the cause. We were crossing dimensions pursuing Megatron and the other Decepticons when our ship was attacked by that monster. But why it attacked us only and not the Decepticons merits caution as it is well within the realm of possibility…"

The more armored Autobot Optimus identified as L-709 finished Perceptor's statement in a serious tone, "You're saying that it's likely the Decepticons are working for that triple-headed b*****d?"

"You would be correct in your deduction…" Perceptor replied, as he shifted back to robot mode.

"Not by choice…" Ironhide added, "Megatron's way too prideful to let anyone order him around, and we know that ol' Monster Zero has the power to make those Decepti-creeps bend to his will…"

Issei raised a hand and interrupted the Autobots' conversation by saying, "Uh, I'm a little lost here, because I don't understand a single word you're saying right now. Any of you, mind explaining who and what you are?"

"The nerve…" Skyburst said, as her sister Stormclash added, "We're trying to figure out how best to explain the information we've been gathering…"

The two said in unison while looking at him with disappointed faces, "So rude…"

Issei was pretty annoyed at the twin helicopters (and slightly aroused, as he sometimes fantasizes about adding twin sisters to his harem).

"Let's also not forget we seem to be missing a soldier, as there were 24 impact craters, but only 23 of us here, we don't know who else on the Xaxxon survived his attack on us…" Windblade interjected, completely ignoring Issei's question.

"Wahh!"

Everyone heard a boy crying, the voice sounded unfamiliar to the Autobots, but all too familiar to everyone else.

"That's Gasper!" Irina said as the cross dressing vampire boy sprung from the bushes nearby, saying "Issei! Help me! He's attacking me!"

"Who's attacking you-?" Optimus began to ask, until a rage-fueled roar echoed loudly throughout the academy's campus.

-[Outbreak - Dragon Ball SUPER]-

"Oh great…" Sideswipe said as he facepalmed, "I think we found out who was missing from our group. Why did it have to be Grimlock of all bots…"

The Occult Research Club didn't like the sound of the name, Grimlock. And they saw some trees falling over as a grey and yellow robot close in size to Sludge came bursting out from the bushes Gasper popped out of, wielding a massive sword that glowed a fiery orange color like Optimus' axe.

Grimlock shouted angrily as he zeroed in on Gasper, "I'LL TEACH YOU TO POKE MY OPTICS WITH A STICK, BLOODSUCKER!"

Issei immediately activated his Sacred Gear and tried to punch the furious Autobot, only for Grimlock to notice and respond with a punch of his own. The two fists connected, and Issei was sent flying into a tree behind the natives, which surprised everyone that the Red Dragon Emperor was overpowered, especially as it seemed that the punch Grimlock received didn't slow him down.

Grimlock raised his sword high, ready to strike down on the half-vampire, only for Optimus and Swoop to get in between the two with Optimus ordering, "Grimlock! Stand down soldier!"

"Yeah Grimlock, you need to, as the humans say, 'take a chill pill'! There's no need for this whole…thing…" Swoop said as he tried to calm his best friend/leader down.

Grimlock ordered with a growl, "Swoop! Get out of way! He poked my optics with a stick and it hurt really bad! He is also vampire! We must destroy vampire or he destroys the world!"

"I would never do that-!" Gasper responded to Grimlock, only to shut up and hide behind Rias at Grimlock letting out a roar that sounded more like a wild animal than a person.

Sludge got behind Grimlock and picked the rage fueled Autobot off the ground, Grimlock saying, "Put me down, Sludge! That's an order!"

"No do…" Sludge said as his hold remained firm, "Boss bot here, so can't listen to boss bot…"

Rias figured that Sludge meant that even though this Grimlock is Sludge's boss, he won't listen to his orders with Optimus here. But, she noticed a subtlety in Grimlock's voice, a tone that indicates lower intelligence, but it sounded more like his intelligence was being forcefully impaired.

Issei got up with his admirers' help, and saw Grimlock being held by Sludge, he didn't get a good look at how big Grimlock was until now. Grimlock was only a foot shorter than Sludge, and the strength he had when he felt the bot's punch, there was serious power behind it, as Issei compared it as him getting punched by himself with several boosts on him already.

"You okay kid?"

Issei looked beside him and saw the bot named Sideswipe look at him, to which the pervert replied, "I've been hit by worse…"

Issei definitely had been hit by worse, as memories of Fenrir and Vali Lucifer filled his mind.

Optimus said to everyone, "I apologize for Grimlock's behavior, it is inexcusable that he'd harm that young girl. But, a foe of ours happens to be an especially powerful vampire, better known by all of you by Dracula, so please forgive him for being, overly cautious, around vampires…"

That rang some warning bells in the Occult Research Club, Dracula being real, that was cause for concern, but their thoughts were interrupted by a loud ding sound come from Perceptor.

Perceptor looked at a monitor on his arm, then said to his commanding officer, "Optimus! We have hundreds of energy signatures heading our way! Their unknown, I've never seen them before! But I can tell you, they are not here to chat, but to kill…"

-[Shanghai Street Fight - Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Complete Score]-

Optimus figures they were sent by Megatron, then he gave the orders, "Everyone get inside now! Evacuate that school, the children and teachers there will be caught in the crossfires! Autobots, all hands to battle!"

Rias Gremory's peerage weren't expecting Optimus to say that a battle was about to be waged here. Sona and her queen, Tsubaki Shinra, both alerted the other members of their peerage to ready a barrier to surround the school. The Sitri peerage were accompanied by the leaders of the three factions to reinforce the magic barrier. Rias didn't want to just sit around and so, she readied to use her family's infamous magic, until something caught her eye some distance away. Windblade noticed and shouted "Watch out!" as she dove towards the crimson haired beauty and the cross dressing vampire, and pushed them out of the way just in time as a tiny explosion came from the ground, a bullet hole where Rias & Gasper once stood in front of.

Bumblebee looked at the hole, then in the direction it came from, and his optics widened as he then said with a sound clip everyone recognized, #"INCOMING!"#

Everyone looked at Bumblebee as he pointed to the sky, Optimus' eyes widened as he ordered, "Autobots, take cover!"

They all put up energy shields, with L-709 putting up an especially large energy shield with the assistance of two spherical drones he sent out, shielding all the fleshlings not in Sitri's barrier around the school from a torrent of bullet fire raining down from the sky like a hailstorm.

The sounds of hundreds of machine guns firing at once echoed through the sky in a deafening cacophony that made it sound like an extra large machine gun was firing.

This continued for twenty seconds until ten foot tall, black and grey robots came down with a thud. Issei and the others noticed how these robots looked nothing like the Autobots they were acquainted with, they looked more like traditional robots, specifically the kind one would normally see in video games to make a vague comparison.

The robots stood up and deployed their weapons and proceeded to attack the Autobots and anyone else with them.

One of them spoke in that expected robotic voice, #"ENEMY AUTOBOTS SIGHTED! TARGETS MUST BE DESTROYED!"#

Some of the robots continued to fire their ranged weapons while others deployed their melee weapons as the Autobots fought back against them.

Perceptor took one of the downed robots as cover, and stated, "These drones, they must be that doctor's handiwork, but why is he working for the Decepticons?"

Sideswipe used the wheels on his feet to skate around, using his blasters & blades to blast and slice up many drones, replying to Perceptor's statement, "You know as well as I do computer head…That fat human and Megatron have a common enemy in our little blue friend, who if you remember was on the Xaxxon with us…"

Some of these drones turned in the direction of Kuoh Town then flew towards it, with weapons armed for total destruction.

Optimus noticed this and ordered, "Bumblebee, Jazz, you two take some of the others and cut off the drones' path to the town! They are going to attack the innocent people there, I will stay here with the remaining soldiers to get the remaining drones' attention…"

"You got it Prime!" Jazz said with a salute, "Stormclash, Skyburst, Wheeljack, Ironhide, Chromia, Swoop, Bulkhead, Rust Dust, A-903, Y-331! Y'all heard the boss! The lot of you are with us, transform and roll out!"

Sure enough, everyone saw Stormclash and Skyburst transform into helicopters, A-903 transformed into a stealth bomber plane, and Swoop transformed into that robotic Pteranodon. But now they got to see some of the other Autobots transform.

Wheeljack and Jazz transformed into sporty cars with race decals, Bumblebee transformed into a muscle car that resembled a camero, Ironhide transformed into a red van-like truck, Chromia transformed into a blue car that kinda resembled a car from the 90s, Bulkhead transformed into a troop transport land vehicle, Rust Dust transformed into a mostly black motorcycle with red & teal accents, & Y-331's alternate mode was a military grade MUV kind of truck.

A few of these vehicles Irina recognized and noted that they were much smaller than the actual cars, meaning that Perceptor was on the money in regards of them not being their original size. Jazz & Bumblebee's group drove off in pursuit of the drones, with Kiba, Xenovia, Irina, and Rossweisse carrying Asia to follow them to protect the town's citizens. Sona sent a few of her peerage (one of her Rooks, her knights, and her pawn Genshirou Saji) to help Jazz's group to make doubly sure no one got hurt. They, with Michael, Azazel, and Lord Gremory, held up the magic barrier protecting the school, whose students weren't evacuated on time before these drones popped up.

The bots who stayed behind with Optimus (Grimlock, Sludge, Warpath, D-002, L-709, Windblade, Silverbolt, Perceptor, Sideswipe, First Aid, & Cliffjumper) had their work cut out for them, as it seemed that only around 140 drones went for Kuoh Town, while they were stuck with another 350 at least.

This left Issei, Rias, Ravel, Akeno, Koneko, Gasper, and those holding up the barrier to deal with the remaining drones, which soon made it clear could damage magic quite easily.

"Man, I need a vacation after this fight…" Issei joked as he fully activated his Boosted Gear's Scale Mail form.

Rias commented to Issei's statement, "We all do after this is over and we figure out this whole, Autobot, Decepticon, deal…"


Kuoh Town Shopping District…

10:26 AM, Tokyo Standard Time…


-[Diving for Megatron - Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Complete Score]-

The attack drones had turned the shopping district into a war-zone, the attack was so sudden that any Devils, Angels, and Fallen Angels there were woefully unprepared to fight robots built for war. More than a few had already fallen from battle, and the one leading the scattered forces was a general of the Fallen Angels, Baraqiel, the father of Akeno Himejima.

Jazz and the Autobots with him arrived at the war-zone, and saw a few more split off into the residential district northwest from his position.

Jazz then said to Bumblebee, "Yo Bumblebee, you take the twins, and a couple others towards those houses, it seems they want to divide our forces even more, the rest of you, let's roll!"

Bumblebee acknowledged Jazz with a few beeps and buzzes, then he, the twin copters, A-903, and Wheeljack headed for the residential district.

Swoop started the fight by blasting groups of the drones with his thermal rockets which exploded with such force that a few drones melted on the inside from the intense heat.

The remaining Autobots transformed and unleashed a torrent of blaster shots and gunfire on them. Xenovia, Kiba, Saji, & Sona's knights engaged the robots in the shopping district, much to the factional forces already there's confusion.

Baraqiel was about to order the fragmented forces to attack the Autobots as well, until Rossweisse stopped him, "Wait! There's something you need to know Baraqiel…"

"Then say it, these machines are all the same to me…" the Fallen Angel general said sternly as Rossweisse explained everything that happened, including the Autobots and how they were protecting the people from these robotic drones that seem to have targeted them and everyone else they deemed a threat.

Asia helped heal the wounded people and soldiers fighting the robots, while Bulkhead offered to protect her from their fire. Irina heard that some of these robots headed for the residential district that the Hyoudou house was located and went after them with Rossweisse.

The sounds of guns, blasters, lightning bolts echoed loudly throughout the town. Loud enough that a pair of hikers several miles in the nearby mountains could hear it.

-[Iacon in Ruins - Transformers: War for Cybertron (2010)]-

Jazz got onto the roof of one of the five story buildings with his grapple hook and turned his right arm into an advanced, alien looking sniper rifle.

"Jazz to Ironhide! Looks like you got too many bogeys on your tailpipe. You want me to take a few out for you?"

Ironhide noticed and said as he brought out his pride-inducing cannons, "Like you need an invitation? You'll shoot away even if I said no…so go ahead!"

Jazz then sniped some of the robot drones surrounding the red Autobot, as Chromia used her smaller frame and agility to destroy the bots with well placed grenades in the gaps of their armor.

Xenovia and Y-331 worked in tandem to destroy the melee-focused drones with almost frightening display, the drones couldn't even land a scratch on the two. Xenovia's main weapon made short work of the drones, while Y-331 turned his left arm into a jagged, glowing blade and his right arm turned into a rather unassuming cannon, until he pulled the trigger, which sprayed a scattershot like a shotgun that shredded the drones with such ease, that the shots destroyed the drones behind the ones in front of him.

Xenovia noticed and said, "You are quite skilled. You have my respect…"

Y-331 responded with a voice that sounded youthful and braggy, "Well, fighting a civil war that lasted millions of years will do that! Of course, these are just some crazed lunatic's toys, they're nothing compared to a Decepticon bruiser like Scrapper…"

Xenovia was exceedingly confused at this (now she knew) young bot's response, a civil war that lasted millions of years, Decepticons, all of it wasn't helping to answer the questions in her head.

Kiba helped with his balance breaker to pin around fifteen robot drones for Swoop and Ironhide to completely decimate with their flamethrower & pulsar cannon. The streets rained severed robot parts and oil, which prompted Ironhide to say as he…Uh…spit…?

"Decepticon punks! They may be Robotnik's creations, but they have the Decepticon insignia on their shells. Either Megatron stole them, or he coerced that fat b*****d into working for him…"

Kiba asked as he made sure another robot was destroyed, "Whose Robotnik? And for that manner, who is this Megatron? And the Decepticon?"

Swoop replied as he flattened another robot drone with a well aimed mace, "For now, all you need to know is that they're both bad news, like want to conquer the universe bad. Until these guys are taken care of…"

Swoop manifested a sword like Grimlock's, but smaller as he threw it and it went into the head of a drone behind Kiba, then charged forwards to tackle it into a brick wall as Ironhide finished it off.

Swoop finished his sentence as he pulled out his sword and it retracted into his body, "…let's hold off on the full explanation…okay squirt?"

Kiba recognized in Swoop's voice that he was something of a thrill-seeker, a guy who gets into trouble and has fun getting out of it…

Kiba smirked as he answered, "Okay…pterodactyl man…"

Swoop said as he chuckled, "A friend of mine likes to state I'm actually a Pteranodon in my alternate mode…I love it, though Grimlock hates it!"

A rather resilient drone popped up from among the broken pieces littered about, but before they could react to it on time, someone blasted it with seven well placed shots. They turned in the direction of where those shots came from, and they saw a pink female robot around the height of Xenovia, with the Autobot symbol on her chest.

Ironhide laughed as he said, "Well well, Arcee, knew you'd make it from that attack. What made you so late to the party?"

The Autobot named Arcee answered as they totaled more drones, "I just woke up in an alleyway a few clicks from here a few seconds ago. I was disoriented and couldn't hear anything until I heard shots being fired…"

"Well, in any case, let's rip some drones apart shall we?" Swoop said as he transformed into his pterosaur form, and they all charged at seven more drones…


Residential District…

One Minute Earlier…


Irina and Rossweisse managed to decapitate the head unit of one of these drones before it could harm a family, it took seven minutes trying as these things don't stay down.

"That took much more time than I would like…" Irina said as the family she and Rossweisse saves were evacuated.

Another one popped up out of nowhere and with a swing of its arm, it hit Irina hard and swatted her into one of the abandoned houses.

The impact from the drone was harder than the Angel had anticipated, as the metal arm sprained her left arm and wing. Rossweisse noticed and tried to intervene, but was held off by two more of these melee-variant drones.

Irina saw that the drone that attacked her was ready to end her life, as it revealed a nasty-looking blade that looked like it was made to make the victim die a slow and painful death. Irina defiantly readied her attack as she manifested a ring of light and readied to throw it with her right arm, the drone raised its arm high to strike down in response.

But then, the drone jolted in response to getting shots fired at its back, before it can turn around, Bumblebee leaped onto the drone's back and made the machine try to shake him off.

The drone didn't get Bumblebee off in time, as he fired a few shots from his more powerful blasters, and then the drone's head got blown off by an extra powerful firearm that didn't come from any of his weapons. He looked at where the blast came from, and he saw a sight for sore eyes.

A mostly white and blue Autobot with the number 38 on the doors of his possible alternate mode of a racing car. He had a confident smirk on his face that told Irina and Rossweisse pretty well what his personality was like, he was young and cocky…

The bot was accompanied by another Autobot who looked to transform into a rescue helicopter as he had that medical cross on its chest, it had a faceplate like Optimus, and a visor like what was on Stormclash.

The helicopter bot headed for Irina and said in a voice that sounded like an old man, "Hold still…I'll scan your biometric data to see how severe your injuries are…"

Irina did as she was told & stood still as he waved his hand over her body from top to bottom, a line of light following along the path the hand moved.

Bumblebee meanwhile patted the white and blue bot on the back in a manner like friends do, as Rossweisse pulled her lance from the core of the last robot drone that had initially surrounded her until Skyburst launched missiles at the drones as she flew overhead.

"Man Bee!" The new Autobot said, "That was something huh? And are you as weirded out by our shrunken sizes as I am?"

The new helicopter bot, who is another medical officer like First Aid (and Wheeljack to a degree), said in response, "Honestly, sparklings like you Smokescreen get surprised far too often to treat minor inconveniences as the end of the world crises! We're the size of Mini-Cons, deal with it! *Sigh* I'm getting too old for this crap…"

Irina noticed the bot now named Smokescreen looked offended as he retorted while blasting another drone with his arm cannons, "That's just like you to say Q-500! You're just jealous that I am a graduate of the Cybertron Elite Guard!"

The medic rolled his optics as he said with little care, "Whatever greenhorn…"

Rossweisse decided to move ahead to help the other Autobots with the remaining drones, saying to them, "Uh…Bumblebee, was it? I'm gonna help the others with those attack drones further ahead, look after Irina for me please…"

Bumblebee nodded and gave a thumbs up, as the former Valkyrie flew off with Smokescreen transforming into a race car (or a sports car with race decals) and followed her, eager to blast some more cons (even if they weren't actual Decepticons). Q-500 looked at Smokescreen with incredulity as he said, "One of these days, that one, Rust Dust, and Hot Shot will get one of us killed with that gun-ho attitude of there's…morons, every single one of them…"

Irina didn't feel it appropriate to ask, but she did anyway, "So…am I cleared from the hospital?"

The medic bot looked at Irina as he put a splint on her sprained left arm, saying, "No…if you don't want to keep that arm and wing of yours, go ahead and fight and get them torn off…your anatomy is remarkably similar to a human's thankfully, even though this is the first time I've operated on an angel…"

Irina decided to stay put for now, as she thought, I don't want to lose my arm or wings, it would make Issei sad…

While the shopping and residential districts were mostly contained now, the same couldn't really be said for at where the attack began…


Meanwhile…

Back at Kuoh Academy, ten minutes earlier…


-[Crash Landing ~ Skirmish at the Plaza - Transformers: Fall of Cybertron]-

Rias and Akeno found it very hard to destroy these robot drones with their magic, whatever they are, they were clearly designed to fight against magic users. It became pretty clear as the Autobots and Issei Hyoudou were tearing through most of them with ease.

It had only been a minute since Optimus' lieutenant lead a team to Kuoh Town to intercept the group of drones that flew off in that direction. It was a large number, but compared to the group they had to face now…well, they thanked their training for the Rating Games and dealing with the Khaos Faction, because they would have been overrun already if not…

L-709 helped out Sona with putting up a shield from a device he had pulled from his back. The magic shield started to break apart from the endless barrage of fire, the heavily armored Autobot deployed his shield generator to reinforce the magic shield. D-002 transformed into a speed car that deployed weapons and fired missiles at the drones, destroying them with ease alongside Sideswipe, Cliffjumper, and Warpath…

Issei faced a larger robot than the other drones with Grimlock, Perceptor earlier identified this larger drone as likely to be the leader of the drones, and that taking it out will likely shut all the other drones down.

Grimlock fought with a ferocity that was very primal, animalistic, he was less like a soldier and more like a wild animal with the way he fought. Issei then saw before his eyes as he blocked an arm coming down, the Autobot transform into a robotic Tyrannosaurus. It was obvious that Grimlock's alternate form was the famous dinosaur because he had the characteristics of said dinosaur; big head, large teeth, tiny arms, and stood on two powerful legs. He also had a few details that looked different from other depictions of the T. rex Issei knew of, like him having somewhat small, draconic horns on his head, or weird barbs running along his back and arms.

Another aspect of Grimlock that caught the Red Dragon Emperor off guard was Grimlock in his dinosaur mode breathed a bright blue (almost white) torrent of flames that melted the armor of the drone and liquified its inner circuits. Issei charged a Dragon Shot with his boosted gear's multiplier and punched it in the direction of the lead drone, only for it to notice the blast coming for it.

The drone used its arm to swat away the blast harmlessly into the sky, pick up Grimlock and threw the Dinobot at Issei, the two hitting each other with a loud thud.

Rias saw this and instantly rushed over to them, only to be cut off by three more heavily armored drones. They aimed their missiles at Rias, and even though Akeno tried to blast them with her lightning, only one of them turned to face the Devil/Fallen Angel-hybrid, its arm cannons changed to electricity conductors that caught all the lightning and powering its own energy-based weapons.

"Out of my way!" Rias shouted as she unleashed a destructive wave of magic at them, successfully damaging the drones blocking her path from Issei.

The Gremory Clan Heiress began to head to help Akeno with the drone absorbing her lightning spells, but was caught off guard when the drones she damaged sprung on her and pinned the devil down. Akeno noticed Rias pinned by the drones and tried to assist her best friend, but narrowly dodged a large blast that came from the drone that kept sapping her magic lightning, firing energy blasts from its red optic.

"Hold on Rias…we'll help you-…" Koneko said as she tried to reach her king, but was blocked by more robotic drones, one of which she punched its head off clean. Ravel used her magic to try and back the cat girl up, but two more drones blocked her attacks with energy shields that seem to sap her power the more she uses them. Sludge transformed into a bear-sized robotic dinosaur better known as Apatosaurus (or Brontosaurus for the uninformed masses of dinosaur knowledge), and whipped his long tail around like a bat, or stomped the ground hard enough to generate small earthquakes that made it difficult to balance.

"Yee-Haw!" Cliffjumper shouted as he leaped from drone to drone like he was playing hopscotch, "Heads up guys! Glass Gas missiles are about to fire!"

The Autobots nearby quickly got out of the way, with Sludge transforming back to robot mode and tackled the drones off Rias and carried her, Koneko, and Ravel out of the way as the red Autobot fired his Glass Gas missiles as they connected to the estimated 50 drones he aimed at.

"What's Glass Gas?" Koneko asked as she was held in Sludge's arms.

Warpath transformed into what looked like a heavily weaponized red M60 Patton, and exclaimed enthusiastically, "BLAM! I CANNOT WAIT TO TEAR THESE THINGS APART WITH MY CANNONS! KAPOW!"

The loud tank fired an artillery from his cannon, and it cleaved through several drones so easily, that the drones just broke apart like eggshells from the gaping holes in their frames.

Cliffjumper said to the organic battle partners, "Glass Gas makes metal as brittle as…well, glass! You just meet to punch them real hard and they'll crack easy…!"

Koneko heard that and was eager to see how brittle the substance made these infuriating drones, so she leapt off Sludge's arm and charged at the affected drones.

She pulled her fist back and with a mighty swing, the cat girl obliterated her target, it shattered into thousands of tiny shards that hit many other unaffected drones like shrapnel. Rias, Akeno, and Ravel thought it looked fun, so they joined in, after seeing Issei and Grimlock get back to fighting the lead drone.

Akeno delivered a swift kick to one drone, and it collapsed like sand with all its pieces breaking apart with an audible sound like glass shattering. Rias thought her magic might have a better effect, and it did a little, until she decided to use her magic while punching, which yielded better results than she expected. Ravel used her staff to swat drones away, them breaking apart like glass with every connected hit, as the drones couldn't even block the swings without breaking apart. Sludge brought out a huge hand cannon and took aim at the drones, Ravel noticing and warning Issei's friends to get clear when the Dinobot fires his weapon…

Until…

"Hey kids! You might want to clear away! Redhead, let me show you how total destruction is done right…!"

-[Turn Music Off]-

Rias turned in the direction of Warpath in his robot mode, all his weapons humming and clinking to unleash a devastating barrage of fire. She told everyone to get clear as Warpath unleashed his missiles, machine guns, and Gatling guns all over the drones.

To say they were destroyed by the onslaught would be an understatement…

Warpath completely annihilated the drones in his weapons' sights, even the unaffected drones' armor was torn apart by the relentless attack. The barrage continued for a minute, with an overly ecstatic Warpath laughing as he taunted these 'Decepticons' Rias heard him say to bring out tougher drones he can tear apart, much to the Gremory girl's worry.

Warpath annihilated around 200 drones altogether, with 125 of them from his last attack, whatever was left of those drones was either literal dust, a few scattered pieces, or both. The Autobot tank definitely racked up the biggest kill count with that barrage, no contest about that.

Even with that, more drones seemed to come from the sky. Windblade was on aerial support with Silverbolt, taking out any drones dumb enough to think of overwhelming their targets with a shower of firepower. Akeno noticed that Silverbolt's alternate mode looked like a plane type she recalled was named something like the Concorde or something similar. He fired homing missiles at the drones, disabling them with EMP rockets, with the half-Fallen Angel noticing that Silverbolt seemed to prefer flying, much lower than one would think for one who transforms into a plane.

But, regardless, the drones giving her, Koneko, & Rias trouble were dealt with, she walked over to the remains of the drone that kept sapping her electric attacks, inspecting the damage.

-[Continue Previous Track…]-

"Oh my…you might have gone overboard with the weapons, Mr. Warpath…" Akeno said as she tapped the optic of the drone she had trouble dealing with.

"It's no fun beating enemy drones if ya can't tear them new orifices with firepower! And make them go…BLAM!" Warpath replied as he proved his point, by blowing a gaping hole through the torso of another drone.

Rias dusted herself off as more drones flew down from the sky, D-002 looked up and said with an exhausted huff…

"Scrap…! Is there no end to these things?!"

Rias replied, even when she knew it was a rhetorical question, "My guess is that they will keep coming until the leader is destroyed…"

"You would be correct in your hypothesis, Miss Gremory…" Perceptor said as he used his weak blasters to distract the drones from attacks, "I am already using my radiological instruments to detect a signal that can only be coming from a controller, if we keep their attention on us, I can confirm where the lead drone is hiding…"

Optimus Prime sliced a burly drone in half with his axe, and said, "Then we will give you the cover needed to finish the job, old friend. Miss Gremory, if you are willing to help us, I humbly ask that you do…"

Rias still didn't trust Optimus completely, but she could detect a sincerity in his voice, prompting her to say, "Only if you explain yourself what is going on, then we will help you…"

-[Decepticon Ambush ~ To the Nerve Center - Transformers: Fall of Cybertron]-

The sound of glass shattering loudly alerted everyone towards the direction of the main building of Kuoh Academy. There was an opening in the shield behind the school, and drones started to enter the school building, Windblade and Silverbolt noticed as the former shouted, "Optimus! They've broken through the shields surrounding the school building!"

Optimus saw this and said as he ripped a drone's head off, "Autobots, protect the humans in the school!"

D-002, Windblade, Ironhide, Sideswipe, & Cliffjumper ran into the school through an opening created by L-709 as he kept the drones busy from getting through his opening. Windblade and Sideswipe were the fastest, so they made it to the school building just in time before the drones could seriously hurt anyone.

Some students inside were cowering in fear as some drones had them against the windows, the machines' weapons aimed at them.

They heard the glass shatter behind them as they heard a voice say to the boys and girls, "Hey kids! Clear a path!"

The students looked behind and saw this silvery robot with car wheels on his feet rush to them with blades extended, and like the Red Sea, parted as this robot fired at the drones's eyes, disorienting them. The kids heard the bot say to them to duck and stay low to the ground, so they did as they saw this robot blast and slash these attack drones to pieces easily. They then heard what sounded like a jet fly into the building and heard a distinctive mechanical noise and saw a red and black jet robot come it and pull out what looked like an energy katana from its back.

The jet robot pressed two fingers where the ears would be located and say in a feminine voice, "Ironhide, Cliffjumper, D-002, you got drones heading for the people putting up the shield with L-709! Don't let them get any chances."

"Like you need to tell us, Windblade! Just focus on rescuing civilians, Camian cityspeaker!" One voice shouted from outside, it sounded feminine too (it was D-002 if you're wondering).

"Well you heard our friend, Windblade…" the silver bot said to the jet robot now known to the children as Windblade, "Might as well as make it a competition, who can save the most humans while also who destroys the most robotic drones. Loser has to fix the Ark's oil pipes, and we know how messy those get…"

Windblade rolled her optics as she replied, "Fine Sideswipe, but let's prioritize rescue over kill count, Optimus wouldn't allow us to put the humans in danger for a scorecard…"

Outside the shield, things were starting to get dire once again, as the lead drone merged with four different drones to become a bigger version of itself. Issei and Grimlock began to lose footing against their battle with the leader, Issei more so than the Dinobot.

Issei could only dodge or block attacks that seem to connect regardless if he just managed to block an attack. He was on his knees as he braced for impact, only for Optimus Prime to catch the arm of the leader drone, and push it back with little effort.

Optimus looked at Issei and said as he held out his hand, "On your feet, boy. If you are going to fight, then you must be on your toes…"

Issei grabbed Optimus' hand and the Autobot helped the teen up onto his feet. Grimlock transformed into his dinosaur mode and proceeded to attack the large drone with a primal, animalistic fury, unrelenting in his attacks as he bit, clawed, stomped, swatted, and blasted at the nearly 14 feet tall super-drone.

Optimus heard something in the distance, Issei picked it up too as he asked, "What's that noise?"

The boy, and everyone else wondering what and where the noise was coming from, it sounded like…

-[Autobots to the Rescue - Transformers: The Complete Score]-

Perceptor transformed and looked skyward, and said to everyone, "It's Jetfire and three of the Aerialbots, Optimus! They survived the attack on the Xaxxon!"

Silverbolt heard this and through his alt-mode's instruments, identified who was among the three Aerialbots, "They're Firefly, Air Raid, and Skydive! Come on guys, we need your help!"

Jetfire and the three Aerialbots flew better into view and the Three Factions got a good look at the flying Autobots as they began raining down destruction on the drones. They also looked like they were smaller like the other Autobots as well.

Air Raid was a black fighter jet from the 80s, likely an F-14 Tomcat, he performed some exceedingly reckless stunts as he flew into the drones like a battering ram, while simultaneously blasting them with missiles. Firefly was a somewhat clumsy bot (if one or two stray shots fired at Grimlock's shield didn't make the point clear) another fighter jet like Air Raid, but he looked to be a more modern jet (a F-35 Lightning Jolt, by Azazel's guess) in red and white colors. Skydive, (a more heavily modified, grey and golden yellow jet like Firefly), looked to be an intellectual among these 'Aerialbots', if his scary accurate shots at the drones gave any hint to his personality.

Then came Jetfire, a red, white, and lime green bot about a foot and a half shorter than Grimlock in robot mode, grabbed two drones pinning Koneko and tossed them aside for Skydive to obliterate their heads with his missiles. When he flew down, his alternate mode looked to be a space shuttle and alien spaceship mixed together.

Besides Optimus, this guy looked like he'd be leader of the Autobots in presence alone…

One of the more burly drones tackled Jetfire to the ground as the two wrestled, Koneko heard the the flying Autobot speak, and heard an old-sounding voice with an accent that made the flyer sound like he was from Australia, or England, a weird mix of the two, maybe…

"I suggest you get the frag off of me, you waste of metal!" Jetfire said as he had twin cannons over his shoulders aim at the drone, and fired powerful laser blasts that decimated the drone's entire upper body, while making a sound that echoed for miles.

Koneko looked scared when Jetfire knelt down to help her up, only to feel cold metallic hands wrap around her torso and helped the neko-girl on her feet. She turned around to see a completely new face she didn't recognize among the Autobots she saw before.

This bot looked a little taller than Kiba, was white and red, and had hospital crosses on his shoulder plates. Even though he was a robot devoid of wrinkles and such, Koneko noticed this Autobot looked pretty old and gruzzled, like he was a grumpy, but good natured war veteran whose seen it all. His alternate mode based on his armor indicates he transforms into an ambulance like First Aid, but a different, more unconventional model that seemed to look like it was a Hummer of sorts modified into an ambulance. His form made it seem like he was a medic like First Aid and Wheeljack too…

Jetfire noticed the new bot, and said in his confusing accent, "Ratchet, you ol' war dog! You made it out of that wreck too, bet ya you were extremely lucky to make it out unscathed, eh wott?"

The medic now identified as Ratchet said, in an older man's voice, "Oh shut up, Jetfire, I may be old, but my audio receptors are still working…"

Ratchet pointed at the school as he said, "I didn't come alone if that is what you think…"

Sure enough, Koneko hearing that noticed two more shrunken vehicles speeding into the school and transformed into robots and proceeded to demolish the drones giving Windblade and Sideswipe a hard time.

Jetfire noticed the two bots and said, "Hey! That's Streetwise and Hot Spot! Those two are real good with rescues! If only Blades and Rook were here, we'd have all the Protectobots present to form Defensor! Then we can really bring the hurt on that lunatic's machines!"

Hot Spot was a cyan fire truck with red details, he looked to be as tall as Optimus in robot mode. Streetwise was a police car that looked to be built for more high speed chases, as its overall frame looked like they belonged to a sports car, and this guy looked to be a few inches taller than Bumblebee.

-[Forest Battle - Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Original Soundtrack]-

Air Raid flew towards a drone in front of Rias, and delivered a flying kick to the drone's head, decapitating it and sending the head towards the lead drone's 'face' and distracting it.

Rias looked at this new Aerialbot and noticed he was as tall as she was, and was caught off guard when the jet said, "Woo-hoo! That makes 300 takedowns in three days!"

"Uh…mister jet robot!" Rias asked as she tapped Air Raid's back, catching the bot's attention.

"Huh? What do you want, little girl? And the name's Air Raid for future reference…" Air Raid asked Rias, looking at her with an indifferent look, as she answered his question.

"Okay…Air Raid, please help Issei with fighting the drones' leader! He's in the red armor fighting it with the one you call Grimlock…" Rias pointed towards the lead drone, specifically to the red armored guy throwing a punch that the lead drone blocked.

Air Raid looked at the lead drone while blasting oncoming drones with an assault rifle built in his arm. He then had a smirk form on his face as he then said without looking at Rias, "Oh baby! He looks tough given my current size…why didn't you guys tell me about this guy to begin with! Heads up Grimlock! Air Raid is coming through hot!"

Air Raid transformed into his jet mode and rammed the lead drone, crashing it through the old school building and making a huge gaping hole through the first floor to the woods behind the building. Freaking Rias and some of her other peerage members out over how much more destroyed the building already is, Gasper already having enough of this, decided he will use his Sacred Gear on the lead drone and paralyze it.

"Issei! I will stop that thing in its tracks! Attack it now!" the cross dresser shouted to his friend, which Issei heard and told Grimlock and Optimus Prime that there will be an excellent opportunity to defeat the lead drone.

Gasper Vladi activated his Sacred Gear, Forbidden Balor View, and unleaded it on the drones, particularly at the lead drone. After failing two times to trap the lead drone (which Perceptor has confirmed is the source of the signal controlling the other drones), Gasper managed to trap it, freezing the huge robot drone in place.

"Now! While it's stuck!" Issei shouted as he, Optimus, Grimlock, Air Raid, Warpath, Akeno, & Rias all unleashed their attacks and opened fire on the drone.

The drone was freed when Gasper released his hold on the drone as it took the onslaught head on, and as it was damaged, the hundreds of drones invading Kuoh Town started to sputter and spark with every impact the leader took. Warpath's Gatling guns tore off the drone's arms and legs, Air Raid's missiles blasted gaping holes in its reinforced armor plating, Grimlock turned into his dinosaur mode and melted the innards of the machine, the three devils blasted it with their magic, and Optimus used his Ion Cannon to decimate the exposed circuits and destroyed the head of the drone…

When the machine's head was blasted off, all the drones shut off automatically and flopped to the ground like puppets whose strings were cut. The lead drone still stood strong, and was the only one left active despite the incredible punishment it just received.

-[Your Choice: Tense Calm]-

Optimus, Sirzechs, Issei, and Perceptor walked up to the drone as it struggled to stand up, determined to continue its programming by using its nubs to stand active, an exposed optical camera being the only thing left of its head (which was miraculously in good condition). This was telling to the Autobots, as its computer was inside the main body as opposed to the other drones' CPUs located in their heads.

Rias wanted to get a closer look, but was stopped by the timely arrival of Jazz, Bumblebee and the others who went into the town.

"Hold up little lady…" Jazz said as he held out his arm in front of the Gremory heiress, "That thing is still active, least we know it may still has some kind of nasty surprise to spring on us. So hang back, I'll scope it out. You dig?"

Rias remained confused at Jazz's words, but decided to play it safe as the Autobots did prevent the entire town she calls home from being destroyed completely and the people slaughtered.

"Very well, uh…" Rias nodded, then looking frustrated as she tried to remember this bot's name, which he helpfully reminded, "Jazz…it's Jazz, cool."

He looked over to L-709 and said to him, "Yo! Defense! Get your actuators over here, we'll need that extra strong shield of yours in case our guest tries something' funny…"

"I'm coming, I'm coming!" L-709 said as he pulled a device from his hips and activated it, pulling up an energy shield that looked like a barricade of sorts that he could move like it was a cardboard slab. He had it ready to put in front of the bots confronting the last drone standing as oil and sparks flew and dripped from its damage, ready of it had a trick up its sleeve.

Optimus spoke to the drone in a serious tone, "State your purpose, I know that Megatron has sent you here to kill us."

The drone said nothing, its voice processor while surprisingly undamaged, its connections to much of its CPU were severed, leaving the drone itself unable to speak.

Perceptor walked up to it with Ratchet close behind, and pulled a chord from his arm and plugged it into the drone, who couldn't resist the action with nothing left for it to do.

Ratchet stated as Perceptor pulled up holographic UI screens and began hacking the drone, "Its vocal processor was severed, so it cannot speak, so we'll just pry into its hard-drives to get answers…including on why the Decepticons came to this universe…"

Before Optimus could respond, Perceptor shouted as a flurry of sparks shot from the port he connected to and was forcefully disconnected to the drone. By forcefully, I mean forcefully, as in he was shot back into Ratchet and the two scientists crashed into a tree and broke it.

Bumblebee and Bulkhead ran over to help the two to their feet, causing Akeno to ask, "Oh my, what happened there…?"

Before a shaken Perceptor could answer the girl's question, a scratchy, male voice suddenly said, "Oh no you don't! You're not hacking into my prototype that easily, Perceptor!"

-[E.G.G.M.A.N. (Theme of Dr. Eggman) - Sonic Adventure 2]-

The Autobots recognized the voice, and Issei too, as Optimus said while clenching his metal fists, "Dr. Robotnik…I knew you were the creator of these machines, explain now why you are working for the Decepticons…"

"Ho ho ho ho!" The drone projected a video feed from its optic camera, showing a cartoonishly obese human with a big bushy mustache, speaking to the leader of the Autobots, "Isn't that the million dollar question, Optimus Prime…I admit, these drones were just to confirm some tests I wanted to conduct, and you Autobots did them perfectly. I'll admit, I'd much rather use these new babies to obliterate that nasty little pincushion whose been a thorn in my side, but if they managed to terminate someone of your status and standing, I think we all agree that the Decepticons would have nothing left to stand in their way…"

Issei was completely shocked at who he was seeing from the projection, thinking all the while, No freaking way! That's Dr. Eggman from the Sonic the Hedgehog games! That voice and that appearance are unmistakably him!

"Scrap this! You tell us what you and bucket-head are up to, or else-!" Bulkhead said before Eggman interrupted him, "Or else what, Wrecker? You'll sneer me to death? I am safely tucked away where you and that pesky hedgehog cannot reach me, and for now, Megatron's interests and mine align."

"Then you should inform us whether your plans involve the harm of innocent people, or what Ghidorah is up to…" Optimus ordered in his stern tone.

"As if I'd tell the head honcho of the multiverse's peacekeeper force…" Eggman replied while stroking his mustache & smirking, which really made the Three Factions hate this Dr. Eggman character.

"Which reminds me…" Eggman said as he pulled up a remote, "Now that I've got valuable data on your fight with my Decepti-Drones, you are all no longer any use for me, as that blue pest isn't here, I'll settle for destroying the lot of you instead. Sayonara Optimus Prime! I'll be sure to tell Sonic about your demise! Geh-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!"

Eggman pressed a big red button on his remote and the screen deactivated and the drone slumped lifelessly to the ground.

Rias and the other residents of Kuoh Town wondered what was up with what Eggman meant by what he said, until they heard the lead Decepti-Drone start to tick and beep, like a timer. It's optic glowing in rhythm to the beeps, suddenly, some of the more intact drones started to do the same as the leader.

Warpath tore the armor around the chest of one drone, and shouted, "These things are loaded with C-4 self-destruct devices! Rigged to go off in a minute thirty!"

-[Suspense - Ace Attorney Phoenix Wright: Dual Destinies]-

Optimus' eyes widened with shock as he shouted, "Perceptor-!"

"Already on it, Optimus!" The scientist interrupted as he quickly plugged back in to the lead drone and began to try and disable the self-destruct sequence, "I'm over clocking my cerebral circuits already to try and disable the bombs, it will be uncomfortably close, so in case I am a microsecond too late, gather all the drones that have the self-destruct sequence activated and try to get them clear from the town's radius!"

Optimus took no time whatsoever to hesitate as he barked out the order, "You heard him Autobots! Bring all the activated drones here to dispose of them all at once! Silverbolt, you, Skyburst, Stormclash, Skydive, and Firefly merge into Superion and fly all the collected drones as high as possible into the sky!"

Air Raid whined to the head bot, "Hey! Why am I left out! I'm an Aerialbot, I am a component to Superion, why am I-!"

"There's no time!" Optimus exclaimed as he started to bring as many of the blinking drones to a central point as possible, "Hurry! There's only fifty seconds before this entire town is destroyed!"

All members of the alliance panicked as there's no time for keeping secrets from the unaware humans, so they immediately took action and started to gather the drones that were ticking and beeping and bringing them to the sports field that held the sports festival a while back. All the Autobots transformed into their vehicle modes and started pushing or dragging drones on the brink of self destructing. The Angels, Fallen Angels, & Devils all pitched in gathering the important drones, ignoring the silent ones that are beyond broken without a doubt.

Because of the urgency of the situation, all three races of this world told the humans present to help out, the biggest indicator of this being Sona telling the student body and faculty of Kuoh Academy to push out any drones in the building that are blinking, beeping, or ticking and be quick about it. The fact that the student council president told them in a panicked tone, made it all the more clear that this wasn't something to joke about, everyone was in very real danger. So all the boys and girls frantically scoured the school buildings and pushed or dropped any machines on the verge of self-destruction.

The drones were all gathered in a huge pile that the Dinobots bunches and melded together as Silverbolt, two Aerialbots, and the twin helicopters merged together into a giant robot, a colossal 16 feet tall robot given that all five bots were shrunken at the moment, the size was impressive given the situation.

"Superion, Online!" The massive merged bot said in a masculine voice, though it sounded like Grimlock, "Ready for action!"

Rias had sweat forming from her forehead, as she heard Bulkhead say, "Thank Primus that our strength wasn't reduced from the Pym Particles, or we would be toast…"

There was twenty seconds left, and Optimus gave the order, "Superion! Get those drones skyward now!"

Perceptor crunched the numbers with frightening speed, after determining that he won't deactivate the bombs in time, and replied to Optimus' order, "Optimus, given that Air Raid isn't a part of the configuration present, and the other Aerialbots are missing, this Superion is incomplete and lacks the necessary power to fly the drones into the sky. The blast will generate a shockwave that will destroy the town instead of the explosion, and kill every living creature within a fifty mile radius bubble!"

That really worried everyone until Sirzechs said, "Wait! The pocket dimension from the Rating Game between Riser and Rias, that might get us clear! Azazel, help me open the portal, and Optimus, have Superion toss those machines into the portal!"

Optimus then said to the combiner, "You heard him Superion! Do it!"

Superion nodded and said, "Batter Up!" as he lifted the mass of drones, more than six times the combiner's size, and tossed the mass into the portal Sirzechs and Azazel created to the pocket dimension.

There were five seconds left as the mass started to enter the portal, with Optimus shouting, "Everyone take cover now!"

All the Autobots, Angels, Fallen Angels, Devils, & humans got down to the ground and covered the back of their heads as the Dinobots fired streams of flames at the mass and Sludge fired a rocket missile at the mass, pushing it farther into the portal faster as it started to close.

The Dinobots then took cover themselves and the portal shrunk a considerable amount, before the explosion was set off…

The portal closed in time, but the impact of the blast was so powerful that they all heard the boom and felt the winds whip up with hurricane-like force, the deafening volume of the explosion, and then the sound of glass shattering raised alarms for the magic users, as the explosion must have damaged the barriers surrounding the pocket dimension.

After feeling the force the blast generated from another dimension for about twenty seconds, it stopped. Everyone looked up and saw that everything was still here (for the most part)…

Sirzechs, Azazel, and Michael looked at what has happened to the fake Kuoh Academy in that pocket dimension, and to put it bluntly…

There was no fake Kuoh Academy…

There was nothing but molten rock throughout the arena's entire area, no trees, no buildings, no pieces of the drones, nothing but molten rock from the ground. The barrier surrounding the battlefield was cracked so thoroughly, it looked like a dome made of spiderwebs. This worried them, as that would was more durable than the real school building for the sake of the Rating Games.

-[Your Choice: Sinister Plans]-

The young teenagers let out a loud sigh of relief and collapsed onto their backs, it was a REALLY CLOSE shave. And a few of them, despite the stress and fear that hit them like a runaway train, started to laugh when it was all over, prompting everyone else to laugh, and then cheer that they survived from oblivion.

Dr. Eggman noticed from his technological instruments that not all the drones could self-destruct, broken so thoroughly that he could only get sensory readings from their built in sonars. The town stayed standing, and he saw than none of the Autobot signals went offline. He failed to destroy them, but he wasn't upset…

If anything, he seemed pleased that they successfully foiled his plans to destroy them. Why is entirely his own reason, but one might suspect that it had something to do with them dealing with Megatron.

"Hey Shockwave!" Eggman said in his laboratory, "The drones performed exactly as we predicted they would. Barring that the failed to destroy Prime and his Auto-buddies…"

The screen of one of his computers flickered on as an imposing, purple robot with a singular red eye spoke with his eye lighting up yellow with every syllable said.

"It is logical that the drones have failed in terminating the Autobots…" Shockwave spoke in a deep, monotone voice that oozed creepy, "They were not designed for Autobot confrontation, but this test yielded results that more than make up for the logical evolution of the prototypes for use against the Autobots and their allies…"

"Well, we will see what the Decepti-Drones 2.0 will do for future confrontations with those goodie-two-shoes…" The human scientist said as he turned off the monitor, then thinking aloud…

"Was it me, or were the Autobots smaller than I remember…?"

-[Your Choice: Cheer]-

Back at Kuoh Academy, the medic bots and Asia were healing the injured Autobots and magical beings. Rias and company were introduced to the new faces that helped out with the Decepti-Drone attacks (Hot Spot, Streetwise, Jetfire, Air Raid, Firefly, Skydive, Arcee, Smokescreen, Q-500).

Jetfire told Optimus about the missing crew of this ship they called the Xaxxon, which the Gremory clan overheard, "…Cosmos survived the attack and he's in orbit trying to locate our missing crew and effectively do a 'roll call' as the humans put it. We've ran into Hashimoto and invited him to assist with those mechanical drones, but he left to look for and bring together the others with Cosmos' directions. He has found that much of the Xaxxon's crew survived the attack by Ghidorah, however sir…we've lost 20 during the attack, 14 Autobots and 6 agents from the Strategic Homeland Intervention Enforcement and Logistics Division. Which includes Agent Carolina, she was my favorite little bugger…"

Optimus Prime looked down sorrowfully, and said as he put a hand on the flyer's shoulder, "I know you two were close, and I'm sorry we couldn't do anything else to save those we've lost to our foes. Let's be sure their sacrifices were not in vain…"

Jetfire nodded and added to his report, "Well, the method Cosmos confirmed who survived is severely hampered by the way we entered this reality, we're able to confirm who survived, but not where they were located, hence why that boy when looking for them to bring them here. What's worse is that, for the moment, we cannot call our benefactors if ya know what I mean…"

"So we have no way of getting a call out to Ultra Magnus or Supes, who are out in other realities on their own missions, or even Palkia, to send reinforcements to our location?" Jazz asked, as he shook his head, "Man, that is a bummer, but we've been in tighter situations than this. Remember the Battle of Tyger Pass? That one was a real tight spot…"

Optimus nodded as he thought about something…something seemed to, trouble him, a feeling of uneasiness. He replied to his 'inner circle' and said, "Palkia and her siblings cannot help us at this moment, they're busy in their own mission to find that one thing that can defeat Ghidorah, as not even the Requiem Blaster could put him down. If we're cut off from our allies of the divine variety, then we will have to be extremely careful with our fight with Megatron, as well as Dr. Robotnik, both of them are certain to capitalize on this advantage given to them."

Optimus noticed the teenagers listening in with confused expressions on their faces, as he said to Rias, "Now that the fight is over, I do owe all of you an explanation of who and what we are…"

Rias was about to reply to the Autobot leader, until Perceptor said, "I have managed to fix a glitch in the Pym Particles regarding how we all are our original weight despite our current sizes, we can't get back to our original sizes just yet, but we should be able to perform better as a result of this fix…"

Perceptor activated a small device on his person and it made a tool appear in his hands, and as he fired it at the Autobots, some of them checked and were relieved to have their center of mass restored, even though most of them would prefer their normal sizes.

Issei was glad he was going to get answers for Rias' sake, but is still having a hard time processing what happened, especially with Dr. Eggman, a baddie from a video game franchise, he is a foe to the Autobots!

But that revelation did make the Perverted Devil regress to his childhood days briefly, as if Eggman was real (further confirmed by the doctor's own words), that his nemesis, Sonic the Hedgehog was real too, and was eager to meet a character he idolized in his elementary school days.


-[Decepticons - Transformers Original Film Soundtrack]-

Meanwhile, the Decepticon condor, Buzzsaw had just finished recording the mission given to Blackout. The Decepticon, using the internet to pick his target, had just laid siege on one of the larger military bases belonging to the US. It was located along the boarders of a country that the global superpower was having political issues with at the moment, and Megatron's hound made certain that there were no survivors, as the base was completely destroyed.

He unknowingly left a few humans and an angel escape, which Buzzsaw caught, and had one of the Decepticon drones based on the titan, Scorponok, to finish off the stragglers.

Blackout looked at the carnage he inflicted, as he grabbed a mangled tank and said as he walked over to an unfortunate human who tried to crawl away to safety…

"Disgusting creatures these humans are…so weak…easy to crush like the insects they are…"

He then hefted the tank over his head, and brought it down like a hammer on the desperate human, crushing him and killing him with a bloody splatter. This human actually was from the country America was having trouble with, and was there to try and mend the relationships between two countries, but his life was unfortunately cut short by the cruel Blackout.

"Now to return to base for further instructions, I've acquire the data necessary for Lord Megatron to plan out his next attack…if it wasn't for those stupid fleshbags cutting my connection mid-download…"

Sure enough, one high ranked angel came down in response to a distress signal from one of the angels and was horrified at what he saw.

He asked himself as Blackout was already out of range to be noticed, "Who could be so…cruel…? This is…this is the work of someone as evil as the old Devil the Almighty vanquished…"


To be continued…


Author's Notes:

Hooooo-wheeeee~! That was a long chapter. I definitely hit way past the previous chapter's word count by almost three times. This is because I didn't want any break in the action and torment you with multi-part chapters for what is going to come for this story, a minor scuffle in this case.

And if you were all like "Yeah right" when I said this is a loose sequel to Pokémon - The Equestrian Chronicles, let Dr. Eggman and the mention of an OC/Existing character hybrid in Hashimoto be the in your face proof of that, as Sean Hashimoto is one of the main characters of that story, and a future event in said story brings the universes of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, Pokémon, Transformers, & Sonic the Hedgehog together.

Next time, the Autobots explain the whole deal about them and the conflict they are a part of…

Now onto some chapter notes;

The Autobots who had numbers and letters for names, they were based on the Bumblebee movie, and how Bumblebee's original name in the film was B-127. You can suggest names for them if you want, they can be Transformers inspired, or more generic names like Bob or Hayley, but please, take it seriously and don't give me joke names. For easier tracking, the numbered bots are; D-002 (the female), Q-500 (the old medic), L-709 (the shield), A-903 (the stealth bomber), & Y-331 (the arrogant youngster)…

Sludge is referring to a superhero who is magic (guess who) and for that matter, there are a few superhero references to Marvel in the story, which is based on the fact that Marvel Comics were the first to publish comic books based on the Transformers. Care to guess what those references are?

Megatron's description is mostly based on an amalgamation of his Prime and War for Cybertron Netflix trilogy in terms of appearance. If that would give you a clear idea on what he looks like…

Soundwave, he does sound like the Soundwave we all know if you're having trouble imagining his voice.

The Decepti-Drones (terribly unoriginal name, I know) in terms of appearance are based on the robots from the Sonic the Hedgehog series, mostly a mix of the 2006 game & the Egg Soldiers from Sonic Unleashed. If you can think of a better name than Decepti-Drones, suggest away…

Warpath's mannerisms are based on the original G1 cartoon's characterization, with some of the Aligned Continuity and the Dark of the Moon video game. Wheeljack is another case like Warpath, but you exclude the live action film incarnation (he's both an inventor and a Wrecker).

There are other references and such, but I forgot them writing this chapter, so feel free to point out all the references you've caught.

Leave reviews, suggestions, critiques (be nice about them), and the like and share this story with your friends if possible…so until then…

I'll be seeing you, next chapter…
