Chapter 111 - Chapter 24 part 2

After explaining why they needed the humans' help, they had noticed it was starting to sunrise as the humans understood now. "Okay, that makes sense but where are we supposed to go and find Alexa?" Kirin asked while Lili was struggling to stay awake since they had been up most of the night. Zera turned to the Cybertronians and said to them "Very well but we need to understand what has been happening for the last few weeks." Ultra Magnus stated that they would give them information once they get on them and start to get going. Soon they transformed which gave out an surprised reaction out of everyone which took a minute or two to process. Soon Harold grabbed Lili who's eyes opened up as she got dragged inside of Cliffjumper's car mode which was an volkswagen beetle but was a little larger than most beetle cars. Ultra Magnus transformed and he became a box truck with semi and tow truck parts as Zera and Samuel went inside of Ultra Magnus while Mrs Lilian went inside of Cliffjumper to watch over their kids. When they travelled through after 5 minutes Cliffjumper yelled out "There is a chemical leakage on the road!" As Ultra Magnus stopped and asked "Whatever in the matter are you talking about, Cliffjumper?" Cliff paused where the chemical was and the kids and Mrs Lilian could see a transparent liquid mix with an yellow chemical that had wilted flowers on it. And they got out as Cliffjumper and Ultra Magnus saw the chemical and Cliffjumper paled while Ultra Magnus looked confused.

"Cliffjumper, what is that?" Ultra Magnus bent down to analyse the thing on the road as Cliffjumper responded with a strained voice "That's the chemical, Ultra Mangus. It's been the thing that has been causing issues for us." Ultra Magnus had forgotten about the chemical and now he remembered. He had talked about the chemical with Shifter who was probably doing his own thing right now in the Ark. The humans however had no idea on what this was and each of them looked confused as Lili looked away slightly. "Excuse me, whatever is this chemical may ask?" Zera asked and Cliffjumper responded with anger "It's the thing that has been mutating everyone!" However, Ultra Magnus replied differently from his friend which was calm and responsibility, "It's a plant-made chemical which have more side effects than benefits." The simple summary finally made them understand that this chemical was something dangerous. Suddenly Zera recognised the transparent acid and said "That's hydrochloric acid that is PH 1, extremely strong enough to inflict damage as well and can cause severe burns." But her interest was caught when it seemed to be mixing together with the chemical and the road was melting under the two acids. All of them looked at the flowing chemicals which one smelt incredibly plant-like while the other smelt similar to vinegar but stronger. "Ugh, why does that one smell like that?" Harold asked before Mrs Lilian pushed the kids back and shook her own head showing they should not smell pure hydrochloric acid.

Cliffjumper felt as if he was being watched as he turned around in confusion. Turns out there in fact something watching them from above as their smile which was slightly melted and plasma saliva coming out of the Cybertronian's mouth. The expression of the Sky Robot who was called Dyamius was supposed to looked dangerously teasing but instead looked more horrifying instead. Dyamius looked spying on all of them who seem to be minding their own business and Dyamius decided to fly off after he got enough information about what he saw. Suddenly, he heard an yell nearby which made him froze, "Decepticon!" The yell seem to be coming from the more larger bot with blue paints as he pointed at them. "Accursed pits! Why did I get noticed?" Before pulling out an special gun which could shoot out Cybertronic bombs, they weren't too big but they looked like they were enough to absolutely to knock them off their pedes and feet. Immediately he put three bombs next to them and immediately they exploded which the Sky Robot laughed. Immediately he raised one of his long separate long metallic feathers and he began to climb on an brick building with his metallic feathers keeping him steady from falling downwards and he disappeared. Harold immediately got up seeing his palm bleeding as he noticed the side of his face paining. Kirin and Lili didn't receive much injury however and the Autobots had gotten the majority of the explosion with Cliffjumper holding his head as most of his hearing was currently out and Ultra Magnus had a large blast on his own chest. Honestly it could have much, much more worse if they weren't careful. "You all okay?" Lili asked as Cliffjumper struggled to hear her question while Ultra Magnus nodded and said "We dealt with worse."

"Anyways, why didn't those weapons hurt us as much?" Kirin questioned as he remembered about the situation with the silhouette of that winged Cybertronian, he still remembered their mocking smile that made him fidget uncomfortably. When he saw the Sky Robot's melted smile, it sort of reminded him of that silhouette's grin. He wondered who was behind that shadow, someone he probably did not want to meet. "Those weapons are for stunning or disarming, instead of trying to kill us." Ultra Magnus knew what types of weapons those were especially with bombs, he didn't know that some of the Decepticons had decided to use their idea for stunning and disarming. Ultra Magnus wasn't sure why however considering that the Decepticons were probably more willing to put up a violent fight. "That explains it. I seen some pretty nasty injuries from weapons that these Decepticreeps use." Cliffjumper said as he slowly got back his own hearing. The last thing he needed was being nearly deaf like how he nearly lost his own voice box. They suddenly looked up at the sky and saw that there was an large chunk of the earth floating upwards with no sense of the laws of physics that Earth has. "What the damned hell is that thing?!" Harold pointed up at the floating chunk. Zera responded "Some sort of an anomaly in our atmosphere." She just now noticed Samuel had disappeared for the time being. Cliffjumper ran and jumped on the tree before landing on the chunk of land as he squinted to see what was far off before his optics saw that there was three familiar figures flying in the red sky.

Mrs Lilian who felt the worry for her missing daughter increase at every minute impatiently asked "Well, what is there?" Cliff yelled down to them afterwards "It looks like the seekers are on the move again!" Which made everyone including Lili, who didn't understand much tense up. Immediately he looked upwards as the sound of shooting was heard. "Ultra Magnus, we need to go." They both transformed and with urgency, everyone got in as they speed up. An compartment came out of both of them as Cliffjumper had a gun attached to the side of his vehicle mode while Ultra Magnus was carrying something that was slower but had more attack power. Immediately both shot at the soaring jets as immediately Napalm warned Haze and Airstrike "The Autobots!" Which immediately got both of the seekers alerted. "Call in the ground soldiers, they must not get to the station!" Which both flew off back to the nemesis. Both still had their guns out of their compartments as Cliffjumper questioned Ultra Magnus as they paused somewhere for an moment, "What signal station?" And Ultra Magnus replied trying to come up with an answer to what that was. "It sounds important, I will have to send Bluestreak to go there. Meanwhile, we need to find a place for the humans for now. We can't risk losing them." Cliff completely agreed before retorting back with something his commander didn't think about "Okay but how are we supposed to find a place for these humans?" Ultra Magnus acknowledged that it was an good point but he had an idea. "There is a place nearby. Once we drop them, we will have to go to the vortex once we group up with most of our team."

"Hang on, you haven't told me of this!" Cliffjumper looked angry and Ultra Magnus sighed knowing this was going to come up again. Cliffjumper for some reason was very picky with certain details and got furious once nobody tells him important information. "We could have gone to that place if you told us!" That was until he saw Ultra Magnus even in truck form towering over him and shining down his headlights which made the car form of Cliffjumper say "Oh." Ultra Magnus immediately led him near to an home where it was for all types of humans were. Soon Harold got out first and Zera came out last. "I assure you we can handle ourselves-" Zera was about to say until Ultra Magnus looked at Cliff and said for him to stay with them. "What!? Why am I doing the babysitting this time?" Cliffjumper looked particularly infuriated by what he heard before Ultra Magnus said "Your the only one with me. And we can't risk them to get killed." He said that before he transformed and left as Cliffjumper sighed before turning towards them. He was probably the second smallest around 24ft, with Bumblebee being a foot shorter than him. He said to them to get inside of the house as Cliffjumper looked exhausted from babysitting during unnecessary times. Meanwhile Mrs Lilian went to them and talked to her kids. "Harold, I need you to listen to him but do not be afraid to talk to me if he does something I don't approve of." Harold nodded while Lili and Kirin was playing rock paper scissors.
