Chapter Text
"So where do we start." Jazz asked.
"I'm not sure. I guess we try and found the Autobots before the Decepticons find us." Bumblebee suggested.
"Works for me." Hybrid said before turning to XLR8.
"Scout ahead, would ya. See if you can find anything Cybertronian."
Noticing XLR8s nervousness, Hybrid charmed her gauntlet so it would lead her back to them. Less nervous now XLR8 zipped off and was out of sight in seconds.
"Good to know your magic works here." Ironhide commented as they began to walk in the direction XLR8 went.
"Hang on a second. You just let XLR8 off like that. You're the second in command Hybrid you should have punished her for disobeying orders." Prowl said, not being able to stay quiet any longer.
"You're right, Prowl. I am the second in command. Remember that next time you feel like questioning my decisions." Hybrid snapped. Making Prowl back down.
Another hour later, the team was still looking for any sign of the Autobots.
"What's that." Bumblebee asked, spotting something in the sky. Looking up, Prowl and Ironhide figured out what it was first.
"Seekers. Hybrid hid us." Ironhide said.
Muttering something Hybrid cloaked them, turning invisible as the seekers got closer, when the seekers flew over head the team waited for them to leave, only when the seekers turned around heading for them did they tense up thinking the seekers saw them somehow. As they kept going back the way they came, Hybrid uncloaked them, saying, "We can't stay out in the open like this it's too exposed."
"Agreed, let's look for cover and wait for XLR8."
Following Ironhide, the team found a cave taking cover.
XLR8 finally found where Autobots were or more accurately, where the Autobots base was. Venting in relief, she was about to go and tell the others when she realised she might not remember how to get back here because she found this place by chance. Taking a minute to think she decided to com Hybrid and tell her where she was.
Meanwhile, Jazz was standing watch at the edge of the cave while Hybrid and Bumblebee talked about who should do the talking for them when they found the Autobots.
"I still Prowl should do the talking his the most diplomatic one out of us." Bumblebee said.
"I'm not disagreeing with you, Bee, but as third in command, you should also do some of the talking. I'll be busy watching Autobots and their reaction to us and what we tell them." Hybrid replied.
"That's fair, okay, but Prowl should do most of the talking." Bumblebee said firmly.
"I think so too, unless it's a question better left for you to answer. You'll know when you hear one." Hybrid said.
"Hybrid, you there." Came XLR8's voice over the coms.
"Yeah, I hear you, XLR8. What's up." Hybrid asked.
"I found the Autobots. I just don't know if I could do it again. So I was wondering if you could find me with my gauntlet." XLR8 asked.
"No problem, we will be there shortly. Just seat thigh." Hybrid replied.
"Good news, XLR8 found what we were looking for. Let's roll out." Hybrid said before cringing and getting strange looks.
"Terrific, now I sound like Optimus. Kill me now."
Transforming Hybrid took the lead as Prowl, Bumblebee, Jazz, Hot Rod, and Ironhide followed.
When they were getting close, XLR8 ran up to them, making them stop and transform, wondering what she was doing.
Reaching them XLR8 ducked behind Ironhide, pointing to where she came from.
"That's not good." Bumblebee said, seeing what XLR8 was running from.
In no time at all, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, Soundwave, Smokescreen, and Cliffjumper surrounded the group.
(What do we do now, Hybrid?) Prowl asked telepathically.
(Let's just see what they say or do and go from there.) Hybrid replied, linking everyone's mind so they could all hear.
Standing back to back, the bots from the Injustice world waited for the bots of this world to say something, showing no aggression hoping to show they meant no harm.
"Servos up all of you." Sunstreaker ordered.
Rasing their servos slowly as requested, Ironhide nudged XLR8 and Bumblebee into the middle of their circle.
"What do you want, why are you here, who are you." Smokescreen asked.
Seeing her chance, Hybrid spoke for her team this time, (When we get inside Prowl, you and Bee are doing the talking.)
"We mean no harm. We only wish to speak to Optimus and ask for help. About who we are that is hard to explain." Hybrid calmly explained.
"Please, we don't want to start a fight, and we're sorry if we startled you." Jazz added.
Turning to Soundwave saying something Smokescreen turned back to the Injustice bots.
"Follow us, but first give your weapons to the twins as a sign of trust."
(No, no fragging way I'm I giving my weapons to them.)
(I'm with Ironhide. I don't like this.) Hot Rod said.
(Look, we either give them our weapons or we don't get in.) Prowl said, handing his sword to Sideswipe followed by Hybrid, giving her bow and arrows and sickle to Sunstreaker. Growling Ironhide reluctantly handing his weapons over as did Bumblebee and Jazz, followed by XLR8 expect she kept her gauntlet. Hot Rod wasn't going to give in or hand his weapons over, especially since the Sunstreaker and Sideswipe of his world almost killed him.
"Hot Rod, give them your weapons now." Hybrid ordered.
"No." Hot Rod snapped.
"That wasn't a suggestion that was an order."
(I won't let them hurt any of us.) Trusting Hybrid. Hot Rod reluctantly gave his weapons to Hybrid. She handed them to Smokescreen.
"He has trust issues."
"Follow us." Smokescreen said.
Inside the base, the Injustice bots were standing and sitting around the room they were putting in as they were told to wait.
"Now what." Hot Rod asked.
"Now we wait." Prowl replied.
"Now we wait?" What in the Pit, Prowl." Ironhide snared.
"Prowl is the most diplomatic of us, so drop it Ironhide and let him think so he knows what to say when whoever it is were waiting for arrives." Hybrid said, defending Prowl.
"You do know want you're going to say right." Hybrid questioned.
"Kinda."
"Kinda. Prowl, I'm putting you and Bee in charge of talking for us. I was really hoping for more than kinda." Hybrid said with a little bite to her words.
Trust me, it will come to me." Prowl reassured Hybrid, genuinely happy they were somewhat getting along right now.
"It better Prowl because if you fail here where screwed." Ironhide snapped.
Having enough of hearing his mate be verbally attacked, Jazz snapped.
"Did you hear nothing Prowl said, it will come to him."
"And what if he doesn't? What if he fails and Optimus wins and conquers Cybertron." Hot Rod almost shouted.
"That won't happen. I won't let it." Bumblebee said.
"Then you better start to think to this isn't all on Prowl." Jazz also snapped at Bumblebee.
"Oh, don't you dare get angry at my brother he has been through enough, and I'll be damned if I let anyone hurt him in any way again."
Hot Rod said, getting defensive.
"Then lay off Prowl." Jazz countered.
"We will once he proves himself." Ironhide growled.
Meanwhile, in another room, Jazz and Prowl were watching the Injustice bots argue.
"I'm surprised they can even function as a team." Prowl commented.
"At least that version of us has each others backs as well." Jazz replied.
"I think we should go in there Prime and break it up." Jazz said, looking up from the monitor to Optimus and the other bots in the room.
"I agree."
When the door opened, the bots saw Hybrid fling Ironhide, Jazz, and Hot Rod into different chairs just by moving her wrist.
"Enough, if I see one more fight amongst our team while we are here, I promise to put you in stasis lock for the rest of the time." Hybrid said, shutting the three in chairs up.
"Excuse me." Optimus said from behind Hybrid, getting their attention.
Walking around the table to join her teammates they watched as the bots of this world entered the room with some looking familiar like Prowl, Jazz, Ratchet, Soundwave, Sunstreaker and Sideswipe, the other five not so much. Expect Hybrid who knew who they were.
"I was told you wanted to speak to me." Optimus said, seating down at the opposite end of the table with some of the other Autobots.
"Yes, we wish to talk to you about helping us with our worlds struggle." Prowl explained.
"Before we ask what we want and you make a decision, we ask you to watch this first, then we'll ask our request." Bumblebee said, sliding the data pad across the table.
As asked, Optimus gathered the Autobots, and they watched the video from when and why the Alliance formed, to the final battle with the council, Optimus killing the council, making those awful laws, the Resistance leaving, the Society, Optimus killing Lugnut along with other things like Sunstreaker and Sideswipe torturing bots in the camp, Optimus fighting Hybrid, Ratchet becoming corrupt because of the sword, Omega Supreme destroying the Nemesis with the Resistance inside, all the deaths of New Order and Resistance members, Hot Rod's near death experience, Blaster's beatens, the massacre, the plauges, Prowl, Jazz, and Ironhide defecting, Bumblebee and Optimus sparklings, Nemesis kidnapping Bumblebee, and what Ratchet tried to do with Nightshade and Ironhide's spark.
Watching the video, all bots had different and mixed reactions like Bumblebee, not believing any Optimus could be as cruel as that, especially his Optimus he did want to know about the sparklings though.
Optimus was stunned himself, watching a version of himself doing what he did was almost sickening, pulling Bumblebee close he needed that comfort Bumblebee gave him.
Ratchet and Ironhide both had similar thoughts, seeing that worlds Ratchet and Ironhide fall apart was horrible just one bad decision after another, it did explain why the black coloured mech which they now know is Ironhide was watching them.
Guardian, however, watched intently feeling bad for the couples of that world especially the Ratchet and Ironhide pair, what really caught his optic was the femme Hybrid how she acted, talked, and fought in some ways it was similar to how he acted and would act in similar situations.
Glad their creations weren't with them. Soundwave and Blaster almost couldn't watch what that Blaster has been through in the camps and didn't want their creations seeing it either.
Prowl more or less studied the video, as did Trap only reacting when that Jazz almost fell to his death before Soundwave caught him.
Jazz, though, was downright feeling awful about all that pain and suffering. Rhapsody was in a similar boat to Bumblebee, not wanting to believe any version of them could do what they were seeing.
Hound and Mirage felt nothing but sympathy towards that Hound and Mirage and anger towards that Ratchet for what he was going to do to that poor defenceless sparkling.
Sideswipe and Sunstreaker couldn't even look at each other, knowing that if they were Cons, they probably would be just like that Sideswipe and Sunstreaker.
Other Autobots were drawn to the fact that Megatron was the leader of the apparent good guys. And bots that are Cons in their world are working together with would be Autobots to free Cybertron. One thing that all caught their attention was that the femme know as Hybrid was apparently quite gifted and powerful.
In the other room, Hybrid explained to her team which bot was which considering she was the only one who knew. XLR8 stayed quiet where she was sitting on the floor leaning against Hybrid's leg. The others not so much.
"What you mean that behemoth towering blue, purple, pink and black coloured Predacon is this Ratchet and Ironhide's creation." A shocked Ironhide said.
"Those twins are this world's Jazz and Prowl sparklings. What are their names? Do you know." Prowl asked.
"Yeah, this world's Prowl's thoughts are very loud. Their names are Trapper and Rhapsody." Hybrid answered. Bumblebee was about to ask his question when the door opened and the Autobots came inside.
(Prowl, Ironhide, you two don't open your fragging mouths.)
"You and the Bumblebee of this world are dating." Injustice Bumblebee shouted. Stopping any words about to come out of Optimus's mouth.
"Bee, calm down." Hot Rod said, kneeling down next to his brother.
"No, this isn't fair. Why do they get to have it all." Bumblebee asked, looking at his brother for answers.
"What's your problem if they are dating or not." Standing up straight, Guardian was becoming defensive.
"You saw the video correct, the Optimus and Bumblebee of our world are sparkmates, and it's just difficult for Bumblebee to see those two together." Prowl explained.
*That's his problem, though.* Signed Rhapsody.
(What did she say?) Ironhide asked.
(Not a clue.) Jazz responded.
"I'm sorry we can't understand you. But Hybrid here is telepathic, so if you just think what you say, we'll be able to hear and understand you." Prowl said towards Rhapsody.
Rhapsody didn't say anything this time, choosing to stay quiet.
When no one said anything after that, Optimus spoke up.
"Despite that little detour and tense moment we have agreed to hear you out, first we want to know how we can help." Optimus asked.
"We would request that bots from your world that we don't have in ours to temporarily join us there. That would be Guardian, Rhapsody, and Trapper and another Optimus." Prowl said.
"No, absolutely not. You can't just turn up here asking for my son and daughter to go to another world, especially one like yours." Prowl almost yelled, stepping in front of his kids.
"You joking right, Guardian isn't going anywhere with you over my offlined frame." Ratchet snapped, staring down Prowl.
Bumblebee whirled loudly as well. Translating into "Never going to happen," clearly not liking what the Injustice bots want.
"We understand this is a big ask, so we just ask you to think about it. Is all. We don't expect an answer straight away." Jazz said, stepping in for Bumblebee, who was at the back of the room with his brother.
The whole time Hybrid had been looking at Guardian because there was something about him that was oddly familiar other than the fact that she had seen him before. When Guardian looked at her, their optics met, but neither looked away.
"What are you looking at." Guardian snapped, not liking anyone stare at him.
"That's a great question." Hybrid replied.
"What does that mean." Ironhide asked, getting as defensive of Guardian as Ratchet.
"Why don't you tell me." Hybrid replied.
Unnerved by what Hybrid was saying to Guardian. Ironhide and Ratchet stood up.
"If you have something to say, say it." Ratchet spat.
"I'm just saying there is something familiar about you, Guardian." Hybrid answered.
"Whatever. You do not know anything about me." Growled Guardian.
Deciding to go against her instinct to fight back, Hybrid held her servos up in surrender. Following another long awkward silence. Optimus said.
"It's late. Let's rest for the night and see what tomorrow brings." To avoid anything else from happening.
That night after Prowl was sure Trapper and Rhapsody were in recharge, he made it clear to Jazz that he was against their kids helping them.
"I don't care what they say.
I'm not against helping them in general, just not like this, and they want Optimus and Guardian too. It's too much."
"Handsome, I can't speak for Optimus or Guardian, but you know our daughter as well as me if she wants ro help them or go, you telling her she can't well only encourage her to go just to spite you."
Jazz said calmly, stopping Prowl from pacing by standing up and hugging him, keeping him still.
Venting to calm himself down, Prowl returned the hug.
"I'm just saying Trapper and Rhapsody are our creations. I don't want to see anything bad happen to them."
"I know, but we have to let them make their own decisions sometimes. I'm not too thrilled about it, either.
Why don't we talk to them about and see what they say and go from there." Jazz suggested.
Agreeing with Jazz, both parents went to recharge for the night.
With Guardian, Ratchet, and Ironhide, it wasn't going much better. Their fight was over something else.
"Don't walk away from me, Guardian. How long do you think you and Predaking could keep pretending to stay in the med bay only to sneak into your room late at night." Ratchet said, blocking Guardians' way.
"Carrier, can we not do this now. If you have noticed that femme seems to know something about me and if she does, I'm more concerned about keeping that secret than anything. And so what if me and Predaking stay in my room? Yes, you still don't trust him, but I do, and we care deeply about each other." Guardian replied.
Using his wings to his advantage, Guardian jumped/flew over Ratchet, heading to his room.
Calling out to his son to get him to stop Ratchet was a little hurt he didn't and kept walking.
"Love, leave it he obviously doesn't want to talk, at least to us anyway. Come on." Taking hold of Ratchet's servo Ironhide was surprised Ratchet didn't fight back.
"He should want to. He knows he can come to us with anything. Yes, we probably didn't react the best about Predaking, but I'm trying." Ratchet replied softly.
"That's what this is all about, isn't it? You're not ready to let him go." Ironhide replied equally as soft.
Ratchet's nod before burying his helm into Ironhide's chassis was all the answer he needed.
In Guardian's room, Predaking was waiting for him, walking into the room. Guardian didn't say anything, just walked up to Predaking and hugged him.
"Is everything alright, my Guardian." Predaking asked.
"Can you just hold me." Guardian replied in a timid voice.
"Of course."
With Predaking holding him, Guardian felt safe and cared for, like he could let his guard down, being the one that gets taken care of for once. Not that he didn't like or want to help others, but sometimes he just wants to be the one to be helped occasionally.
The next morning, Hybrid and Jazz were sitting in a booth both miserable from last night.
"So what exactly happened last night to you." Jazz asked.
"Well Hot Rod is a complete and total aft, Bee was in my berth, XLR8 bites, and you and Prowl didn't know if you could stop yourself from interfacing even with me in the room so I ended up recharging in Ironhide's room which didn't come easy let me tell you.
What about you? Why are you miserable." Hybrid asked.
"I'm so sore." Jazz admitted. Which got Hybrid smirking at him. Seeing the smirk, Jazz was quick to explain.
"It's not what you think. Before you knocked on our door and after you left, Prowl had a really restless recharge."
When Ironhide walked by a couple minutes later saying. "I think I pulled something." Causing Jazz to give Hybrid a questioning look.
"It definitely not what you think."
The rest of the morning was going okay with Prowl, Hot Rod, and Bumblebee joining them not long after, until they heard Cliffjumper being mean to XLR8 and blocking her from entering the cafeteria.
Which didn't go down well with the others. Leading to them challenging Cliffjumper to find six other bots and meet them in the rec room in the ring for a seven on seven tag team match. Before long as Cliffjumper was finding teammates, everyone in the base herad about the challenge, heading to the ring to see what the bots from the other world could do.
Getting Smokescreen, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, Springer, and Guardian to join him, Cliffjumper went to the last bots room, hoping to convince them.
"Bottom line is if you two decide to help the bots from the other world, me and your carrier are coming with you." Prowl firmly said, ending anything his daughter might have said back.
"Rhap, you always said you what more freedom, but do you really think sire and carrier would let us go to another world without them." Trapper said, speaking for the the first time since their parents sat them down.
Seeing her brothers point, Rhapsody gave in even if she wasn't happy about it.
Cliffjumper knocked on the door shortly after asking Rhapsody if she was willing to join and by the seventh member of their team against the visitors, knowing she needed to let of some steam she agreed.
In the rec room, the Injustice bots were warming up and waiting for their opponents to arrive when Jazz asked Hybrid what she meant when she said XLR8 bites.
"Because Bee was in my berth because of Hot Rod, I had to share with XLR8, and she has nightmares about the camp sometimes and according to her Blaster would just hold her thigh when it happens. The scraplet failed to mention the biting, making me feel sorry for Blaster. And Barricade in the future."
Hybrid said, getting a laugh out of Jazz.
When the other team arrived, almost every Autobot was surrounding the ring wanting to see what the Injustice bots were made of.
Going to their respective corners, the team decided among themselves who was going to start as Blaster got in the ring to act as ref.
Hot Rod and Smokescreen circled each other slowly as soon as Blaster said they could begin. Trying to bluff Smokescreen Hot Rod ran at him, pretending to try and kick his legs out only to make Smokescreen move to the other side of the ring, right into the wrong corner.
The temporary distraction of Smokescreen realising where he was allowed Hot Rod to get him in a side headlock and flip him over so Hot Rod had Smokescreen trapped under his body, Smokescreen mangaed to get back on his peds though, only for Hot Rod to do it again, and once more after Smokescreen managed to stand up for a third time. Changing up his strategy Smokescreen clapped his servos together to take some of the pressure of his neck pushing Hot Rod's helm back allowing him to wrap his legs around Hot Rod's helm but Hot Rod simply moved his body around while his helm was trapped allowing him to flip up break free of the leg lock.
Waiting for Smokescreen to stand Hot Rod delivered a knee strike right to his mid section, moving him back into the corner tagging in Bumblebee who grabbed Smokescreen's arm preforming an arm drag sending Smokescreen into his corner. Not liking how Smokescreen was being handled, Sunstreaker tagged himself in charging out Bumblebee who ducked and ran at the ropes, flinging off them to preform a thesz press but Sunstreaker caught him throwing him away following up with a kick to Bumblebee's face knocking him down. Grabbing Bumblebee around the helm, getting him up, Sunstreaker grabbed one arm, positioning it a specific way before tossing Bumblebee on his back, falling with him to keep Bumblebee's arm trapped in a painful submission hold trying to get Bumblebee to tap out, Bumblebee managed to get back to his peds stepping on Sunstreaker's ped then elbowing him in the face, turning to try and make a tag Sunstreaker grabbed Bumblebee from being and tossed him into his corner tagging in Sideswipe and together they picked Bumblebee up grabbed a leg and arm each lifting him up, bringing him down hard on the ground before picking him again bringing him down on their knees. Going for the pin Blaster only counted two before Bumblebee kicked out. Lifting Bumblebee back up Sideswipe stood him up before kicking his leg out from under him while holding onto the arm Sunstreaker targeted, manipulating Bumblebee's arm, Sideswipe made the mistake of leaning down to taunt Bumblebee who kicked him in the faceplate, as Sideswipe let go Bumblebee rolled away as Sideswipe attempted a elbow drop, Bumblebee tagged Ironhide in who clotheslined Sideswipe when he got back into his peds, lifting Sideswipe up Ironhide scooped slammed him twice before tossing him into a corner and flatting Sideswipe in the corner followed by a canon ball. When Ironhide pulled him out of the corner going for the pin, Sunstreaker broke it up, getting a spear from Hot Rod for his troubles, Hot Rod got a spin buster from Springer, Springer received a step up enziguri from Prowl, Prowl got hit with a super kick by Smokescreen who got his knee clipped by Bumblebee so Cliffjumper hit him with a backstabber and Jazz hit Cliffjumper with a flying kick before Sideswipe threw him out of the ring, in the end Hybrid and XLR8 were left standing for their team while Guardian and Rhapsody were standing for their team. Reaching their corners, Ironhide tagged XLR8 and Sideswipe tagged Rhapsody. Running at Rhapsody XLR8 was taken down by a flying forearm, and as XLR8 was getting up, Rhapsody ducked under her swing, grabbing her by her helm tossing her over her shoulder running to the ropes and pushing off kicking XLR8 in the faceplate, going for the pin XLR8 kicked out just in time. Dragging XLR8 to the corner, Rhapsody positioned XLR8 on the top rope intended to suplex from the top rope, XLR8 counted and slipped down kicking Rhapsody leg out so she was caught in the second ropes, using the bottom rope XLR8 jumped to the second rope before twisting and delivering double knees to Rhapsody as she collapsed XLR8 rolled away as Rhapsody was getting up XLR8 used a simple trick by running up the ropes used both peds to slam Rhapsody into the ground going for the pin afterwards, during the pin attempt when Rhapsody kicked out XLR8 was accidentally knocked to the outside onto the floor and for the next five minutes once Rhapsody got XLR8 back in the ring Rhapsody dominated the match from body slamming XLR8, suplexing her so her legs hit the ropes, delivering a leg drop across her shoulders, grabbing her arms placing her ped on XLR8 neck before lifting her up slightly before slamming her faceplate into the ground.
Shocking everyone on XLR8'S team with how savage Rhapsody was being.
Picking XLR8 up onto her shoulders, Rhapsody planned to end it then and there, but XLR8 counted, turning it into a crucifix bomb, taking a second to get her bearings XLR8 crawled across the ring to tag Jazz in and Rhapsody froze allowing Jazz to preform a tilt a Whirl headsiccors sending Rhapsody of her peds followed up by a knee strike in the corner when Rhapsody was standing again tossing Rhapsody towards the centre of the ring Jazz climbing to the top rope and jumped hitting a frog splash on Rhapsody and if it wasn't for Sideswipe breaking up the pinfall team Injustice would have won.
Getting desperate, Sunstreaker got in the ring to attack Jazz, but Jazz side stepped, and Sunstreaker went through the ropes with Prowl following up with a meteora taken out Sunstreaker temporarily. The distraction paid off, however, as Rhapsody tagged in Cliffjumper. Cliffjumper didn't fair any better as he was dropped kicked right into his corner, so Guardian tagged himself in having enough. Trying his luck, Jazz tried to use a cross body on Guardian it didn't work as Guardian caught him and tossed him aside before picking him up by his neck tossing him across the ring. Going with the momentum, Jazz swung up onto the top rope kicking Guardian in the faceplate when he came at him, which did next to nothing to phase him as he pulled and threw Jazz off the top rope. When Guardian went to chokeslam Jazz, Ironhide got in the ring and kicked Guardian's bad ankle as he dropped Jazz went for a headsiccor and made the tag to Hybrid who got in the ring but didn't attack Guardian cause he was clutching his ankle clearly in pain. Predaking, Ratchet, and Ironhide on the outside of the ring looked concerned and furious, Rhapsody got off the ring apron and went to the side off the ring to ask Guardian if he was okay while Blaster asked if he wanted to continue.
When Guardian got back to his peds and Blaster said it was all good, Hybrid hesitated to do anything, seeing that Guardian swung at her, putting her dodut to the side Hybrid ducked under the swing and kicked Guardian in the leg repeating it every time Guardian tried to hit her. Having enough Guardian waited for Hybrid to make the next move catching her when she cartwheeled using his body as leverage, Guardian slammed her down before delivering a leg drop standing up Guardian picked Hybrid up putting her in a choke hold but she broke free by wrapping her legs around one of Guardian's arms bringing him down to the mat, he rolled through though and got back to his peds with Hybrid still wrapped around his arm but the pressure was off. What Guardian didn't expect was for Hybrid to drop and do the same thing to his good leg while bringing him down to one knee, getting free again Guardian picked her up and with momentum Hybrid wrapped one arm around Guardian's helm and kicked off the top rope turning and planting Guardian face first into the ring mat going for the cover, this time Rhapsody broke the pin attempt by hit Hybrid in the mid section so XLR8 responded by running at Rhapsody sliding past her gradding her leg tripping her and pulling her out of the ring then got on the ring apron and jumped so she was sitting on Rhapsody's shoulders preforming a hurricanerue accidentally sending Rhapsody into her brother and sire taking them down too.
Inside the ring Guardian went for a clothesline but Hybrid ducked so Guardian quickly stopped turned around and connected with Hybrid this time turning her inside out going for the pin Guardian almost had the win but Hybrid kicked out in the last second.
Dragging Hybrid to his corner Guardian tagged Springer who went to the top rope and jumped down on Hybrid who got her knees up just in time and she rolled to her corner tagging Bumblebee who used a running hip attack on Springer who tagged Guardian in just before and then Bumblebee did something that shocked everyone he got behind Guardian and suplexed him telling Blaster to count afterwards but Guardian kicked at.
On the outside of the ring, the other Bumblebee hid behind his mate Optimus in fear with just his helm peeking out. No one would have thought it was possible for Injustice Bumblebee to pick up Guardian, the second strongest Autobot after Predaking. It took a lot out of Bumblebee though, who tagged Hybrid back in as Guardian tagged Sunstreaker in, wanting to end this Hybrid hit Sunstreaker with a blitz of strikes knocking him over before grabbing and positioning Sunstreaker arm for a modified arm bar, locking it in the Injustice bots ran across the ring to prevent anyone from the other team breaking the submission hold, no where near the ropes and no one to help Sunstreaker held out for as long as he could but he couldn't take the pain anymore and tapped out.
Surprisingly, that night, everyone was less tense even though Sunstreaker was sulking. It was funny how a sparing match between the two groups lessened tension.
Guardian and Hybrid were talking after they apologised to each other, and Hybrid explained why she was staring at Guardian, realising they had a lot in common. Guardian invited Hybrid to eat with him and Predaking.
Jazz and Prowl were sitting with the other Jazz and Prowl and Trapper and Rhapsody while Jazz was having a good time Prowl couldn't help but be envoys of this world's Jazz and Prowl for already having kids.
Ironhide, Hot Rod, and Bumblebee were sitting by themselves with Ironhide, putting his focus into make Bumblebee and Hot Rod feel more at ease rather then focus on how this Ironhide and Ratchet had what he probably never will again.
The peaceful atmosphere was broken when Prowl got out of his seat and confronted Hybrid as she walked by the booth he was sitting in.
"You're a big lair, aren't you. No amount of magic could possibly fix what I asked you to fix could it." Prowl snapped at Hybrid.
Knowing what Prowl was talking about and guessing it had something to do with Rhapsody and Trapper. Hybrid smirked at Prowl, "Hey, don't blame me. You're just clearly not getting the job done when it matters, stud."
"If you want to break or end the deal, just say so, but we both know I won't be getting hurt by it." Hybrid said.
Not wanting to continue this conversation in front of Jazz, Prowl looked at Hybrid, "In the hall." Using her magic Prowl and Hybrid disappeared in a cloud of red smoke, getting gasp out of a lot of Autobots who knew of her powers because of the video but it was different seeing it in person.
"If your magic really is working, then why hasn't Jazz gotten sparked yet." Prowl asked in the dark hallway.
"Don't you remember our deal Prowl you have to do everything a say as long as a say, please. And when you walked away after we made the deal, I whispered you couldn't get Jazz sparked please and magic made sure it took." Hybrid explained.
"Why, why would you do this." Prowl asked, shocked at what Hybrid admitted.
"Because while I do want you and Jazz to have sparklings, I want them brought into the world when it suits me. You should never mess with something you don't understand, Prowl." Leaving Prowl in the hallway Hybrid sat beside Guardian, and they were about to talk about the Ironhide and Ratchet of both worlds when Blaster and Soundwave walked over.
Venting in annoyance, Guardian asked what they wanted, yet he already had a hunch.
"Guardian, you know I'm not one to judge or be mean, but if everything Soundwave said is true about Predaking, how can you truly trust he isn't just going to love you and leave you." Blaster asked, concerned for his friend.
"Because he has made it clear he cares about me and is willing to take things at my peace." Guardian said, taking hold of Predaking's servo.
"Until he has enough of waiting and forces himself onto you, taking what he wants breaking you mentally before returning to the Cons to tell them one of the Autobots biggest and skilled fighters is not a problem anymore." Soundwave replied.
"HOW DARE YOU SAY OR THINK THAT I WOULD DO THAT I'D NEVER HURT GUARDIAN LIKE THAT." Predaking yelled, getting everyone's attention.
"Hard to believe, Predaking your never one for being patient and waiting, I'm surprised by you too, Guardian, you're smarter than this." Soundwave said, sounding disappointed in Guardian, which Predaking didn't appreciate.
"If you have a problem with me, I don't care, but don't ever talk to my Guardian like that." Predaking growled walking towards Blaster and Soundwave. Pushing Blaster behind him Soundwave was about to say something, but Ironhide and Ratchet stopped him.
"Soundwave, I honestly don't care if you mean well. Don't try and make my son feel like an idiot for being with Predaking cause I could say the same about Blaster being with you." Ratchet said, fired up.
Taken back by that, Soundwave stayed quiet but stood his ground until Blaster pulled him away, not wanting to face Ironhide and Ratchet's anger.
"You know speaking from experience of being sparkmates with my worlds Predaking I can assure you he would never do anything you didn't want and will also do his best to make you happy and keep you safe." Hybrid said to Guardian in the booth behind Ironhide, Ratchet, and Predaking.
"Another thing we have in common then." Guardian replied a little jealous, Hybrid and her Predaking were already sparkmates.
"Also don't worry about those two cause I have information for them that will distract them, making them leave you alone if they try this again."
Late that night Injustice Bumblebee shot up out of his berth, knowing he forgot something important.
"Where did XLR8 go." He asked himself because no one saw her after the fight.
