Notes:

Hello everyone! So it has been years since the last time I wrote a new fanfic, so I’m pleased to write this on based on a crackship I created with my two recent favs Roz with the Wild Robot and Megatron from Transformers (specifically Prime). Anyway I hope this story can be worth the read and any support for this fanfic is appreciated. I do apologize for any grammar or spelling errors, this is just a story I wanted to write since I started shipping them so yeah, anyways enough blabber from me and enjoy the show! ;)

Chapter 1: Prologue

The Nemesis-

“LORD MEGATRON, WE ARE CURRENTLY BEING UNDER ATTACK BY THE AUTOBOTS! I REPEAT WE ARE UNDER ATTACK BY THE AUTO-” *communication cuts off*

“Those pesky Autobots.” Megatron grinds his sharp teeth and growls in annoyance as his Communications expert, Soundwave silently looks at his master with worry, Megatron calms himself down and answers to his old friend’s concerns, “I’m fine Soundwave, right now we are currently in a tight situation; although Optimus and his pathetic Autobots may think they have the upper hand, but we the Decepticons know we are far stronger in numbers.” As Megatron was about to say more, Soundwave received a call from none other than Starscream, the Second in Command of the Decepticons.

“LORD MEGATRON! I HAVE SOME GOOD NEWS TO SHARE.” This “Good News” caught the warlord’s attention but he was very hesitant given Starscream’s track record of failures in hopes to usurp his throne, “This better be actual good news STARSCREAM or else.” He growled.

Starscream nervously chuckled but continued on anyway, “ALTHOUGH THE AUTOBOTS HAVE SEIZED THE IACON RELIC, WITH THE HELP OF SHOCKWAVE, WE HAVE MANAGE TO GET THE LOCATION OF THE DEVICE, THAT WILL BE ENOUGH TO WIN THIS WAR ONCE AND FOR ALL.” Starscream grins as he sends the coordinate to Soundwave and using his coding skills, he is able to unlock the data of a relic that causes Megatron to flinch and step back, “No… no it cannot be.” He whispered.

The relic Soundwave unlocked turned out to be an ancient artifact, Chimera Stone, once belonging to one of the Original 13 Primes, Micronus Prime. “Legend says that it has the power to give energy to best suit the needs of their allies.” “PRECISELY LORD MEGATRON AND WITH THIS POWER YOU CAN GIVE YOUR POWER TO MAKE YOUR ARMIES STRONGER THAN EVER BEFORE! THUS, THE AUTOBOTS WILL BOW BEFORE YOU AND TAKE CYBERTRON AS THEIR RIGHTFUL RULER.” It was now replaced with silence as Starscream’s call ended.

Megatron smiled as he maliciously chuckled, “For once Starscream, I owe you satisfactory. Soundwave, please find the location of this sacred artifact, we must keep it away from Autobots, ESPECIALLY Optimus Prime!” Soundwave continued decoding the coordinate until he managed to get location, Megatron stood next to Soundwave as it revealed the map with a red dot to the Chimera Stone. “There you are as you will soon be mine.”

Unbenounced to Megatron however, Arcee and Bumblebee were secretly watching as the location of the artifact was revealed “Optimus, this is urgent, Megatron has managed to locate the Chimera Stone despite you just getting the map from them.”

AutoBot Outpost Omega One, Jasper, Nevada-

Optimus Prime along with Bulkhead, Smokescreen, Wheeljack, and Ultra Magnus had just arrived back at base with the artifact containing the map they claimed from the Decepticons, as Ratchet using GroundBridge to get them to safety with their human allies Jack Darby, Miko Nakadai, Rafael Esquivel, Agent William Fowler and Jack’s mother June Darby communicating with Arcee and Bumblebee.

Ratchet after hearing what Arcee said was the first to speak. “This is very bad, if the Decepticons get their hands on the Chimera Stone, then, it will be catastrophic for all of us.”

Optimus replied back, “Precisely, as the relic was built by Solus Prime with her forge as a gift to Micronus, he used his energy to help her create the sacred relics of the 11 Primes that includes the Prima’s Star Saber. With the Forge of Solus Prime in Megatron’s possession, it’s important that we keep the Chimera Stone away from Decepticon hands. Arcee, Bumblebee, do you know the exact location of the relic?”

Bumblebee replied with beeping noises while Rafael used his computer as he managed to pinpoint the location found on the map Optimus gave him and translating Bee’s speech, “Bee says the coordinate is located on a small remote and uninhabited Island on the Pacific Northwest Coast.”

As Raf was able to project the map to the mainframe. Agent Fowler was the first to speak after that, “I don’t know if this can be the right time Prime, considering how uninhabitable the coastal areas of the United States are and don’t get me started with the amounts of dangerous storms and floods present in that area. It may be stormy right now as we speak, so it will unfortunately be difficult to GroundBridge there safely.”

Optimus thought about it through as the rest of Team Prime watched their leader think, then prime stopped thinking and looked back at his team, “We will think this through, Arcee and Bumblebee, keep a close watch to the Decepticons for a few more minutes while Ratchet prepares to GroundBridge you two. As far as we know, Megatron and the rest of the Decepticons don’t know that the island the relic is located is guarded by a great storm, so it will give us plenty of time to analyze the situation and once the storm cools down, we’ll make sure we get there immediately before they do.”

Back at the Nemesis-

Soundwave opened a GroundBridge that allowed Starscream and Shockwave to enter back upon the Nemesis, Starscream stretched while Shockwave just walked past him. The former felt more pride than ever before thanks to his contributions of finding the Map to the Chimera Stone before the Autobots did whereas Shockwave noticed the map Megatron is looking at and approached him.

“Lord Megatron, not to question your decisions but despite finding the location to the stone, I feel like it is illogical to head there immediately. Due to the island’s isolation and the amount of harsh weather conditions present, it can be potentially dangerous for you to enter as if the relic is surrounded by a barrier that forbids outsiders from entering.”

Megatron replied to Shockwave’s warnings, “I appreciate your concern Shockwave, but even with the amount of storms present, I must not wait as it will give the Autobots the advantage of achieving it first, thus I must get there before they do; Starscream!” Megatron shouted as Starscream entered the scene.

”Yes my lord.” Bowed Starscream who is now grinning with joy as he takes command of the Decepticons once more.

“You will take command of the Decepticons while I’m gone, I cannot let that relic be in Optimus’s possession, I’ll bring in a few troops to aid me on my quest but one more thing Starscream… DO NOT FAIL ME LIKE YOU DID THE LAST TIME I PLACED YOU WERE IN CHARGE!”

Starscream smiled and nodded “As you wish my lord”

Megatron huffed before making his way to the exit. while Arcee and Bumblebee watched Megatron leave before a GroundBridge opened for them and went through before he and the rest had noticed. Now outside of the ship with 8 vehicon seekers behind him, Megatron noticed the storm in the distance and the warlord looked at it with determination in his eyes. 

 

“This time Prime, my Decepticons will win this war once and for all…” 

 

Megatron transformed himself into a Cybteronian jet and blasted off followed by 8 of the Vehicon Seekers. Soundwave and  Shockwave watched as Megatron’s group disappeared in the distance whereas Starscream let out a grin on his face knowing his master would soon meet his demise. 

 

“Good luck… Lord Megatron.”

Chapter 2: Roz on the Run

Summary:

Roz has a fun time with her animal family but she soon discovers something she has never seen before :0

A year has passed since a robot named Rozzum 7134 or Roz first arrived on the Island; although it took a long while for her to adjust to the wilderness and the island’s residents to accept her, it all took her to care for a young orphaned goose named Brightbill with the help of her best friend, a sly fox named Fink that they all became unified and one big family at the end. After their battle against Vontra and her security units, Roz had no choice but to leave the island in order to protect her new animal family, she eventually came back from her migration being within civilization for three months and came back once again as the island’s guardian.

 

 [Two days after Roz’s return]

 

Roz along with Brightbill and Fink where hanging out at the stone walkway with their animal friends Thorn, Pinktail with her kids, Paddler, and Thunderbolt; telling jokes, stories, memories etc.

 

“I remember the time when I watched Roz first taking care of Brightbill, she was so confused on how to do it.” Fink said as Roz nodded and the other animals listened in closely, especially with Brightbill wanting to know more about his childhood.

 

”At first she tried feeding him a BIG pinecone that he could barely get his mouth on” The other animals chuckled, “Then she placed him on that same pinecone in hopes to swim in the water and then he fell-” 

 

“Oh yeah, when she basically put that little runt in MY pond and potentially drowned him.” Paddler interrupted and the rest chuckled, even Brightbill couldn’t help but laugh as he and Roz looked back at each other.

 

”Anyways here comes my favorite part, when Roz wanted him to fly, she placed on to her hand and then” The animals came in closer as Fink told his story “BAM sent him flying to the sky” the animals laughed even harder with Brightbill, shocked that Roz did that to begin with which made Roz chuckled. 

 

“And that’s not all, while he was up in the air, SWOOP he was taken away by Thunderbolt by the second!” 

 

The “Swoop” caused Brightbill to knock himself off on Roz and looked at both Roz and Thunderbolt in horror who in turn looked at each other and laughed.

 

“-and that’s when I knew ‘ALRIGHT’ enough was enough, so I had to come in as her local goose expert to help her raise him better.” Fink says while he smirks to himself.

 

But once he finished his story, he was met with raised eyebrows and confusion as everyone on this island knows, Fink was anything but a goose expert. The fox nervously chuckled as he admitted that he did eat geese. As the animals chatter, Roz started to notice the sky getting more grey and cloudy. 

 

“Uhm guys, I think we are about to experience a-“

 

*THUNDER RUMBLING* 

 

“Stormy weather today…” Roz finished her sentence.

 

The other animals looked up at the sky as Brightbill felt the first rain drop on his beak, and as soon as more rain drops started to come down from the sky, Roz and the rest of the animals knew they had to head back to the shelter, which everyone obviously annoyed at at this sudden weather change as they walked.

 

“Darn It! And it was all going so smoothly until this stupid rain had to come along and ruin the fun.” Fink complained 

 

“Oh don’t be such a grouch, at least the plants will be able to get their water while we can all just hang out at the shelter.” Pinktail responded to Fink with her kids, now a bit older, replying “YEAH!”

 

“Mom, do you know if this storm will get any worse than this?” Said Brightbill with worry as he looked up at the sky now completely dark with thunder rumbling. 

 

“Don’t worry too much Brightbill” Roz replies as she pats her adoptive son’s head, “I’m sure the storm will be temporary and cause us no harm.” 

 

“Cheer up kid! This island has experienced large storms before, so we are pretty much used to it at this point, remember when we all have to deal with that winter storm.” Thorn replied.

 

The Roz other animals with the exception of Brightbill nodded as Fink made a reply back to Thorn

 

“That will still stand as the worst storm I’ve ever seen, if it weren’t for Roz, we all would’ve been-”

 

The young possums finished his sentence by making zombie sounds as they played dead on their mother with the latter chuckling. “Hehe THAT” said Fink.

 

“I suppose you are right, it would've been nice to go flying right now.” Brightbill said with a bit of sadness hinted

 

“Hey, once this weather stops, I promise you we’ll go flying together.” Says Thunderbolt as he placed a wing on Brightbill’s shoulder, this at least made the goose slightly smile.

 

At last, Roz and the gang arrived at the shelter where despite the place being dark, the other animals had already arrived and were hanging out. Once they went inside, the animals all cheered for Roz and said their hellos with Roz greeting them back at them and even with Roz receiving some hugs and nuzzles. Roz got to the fire pit and used her finger to light the place up and sat down at the stone bench where Fink and Brightbill joined her. All of them sat and talked together, sang songs, with some of the young ones watching tv from a Rozumms head. Fink later got an idea and whispered to Roz and Brightbill and both of them nodded.

 

“Hey everyone!” Fink cried out. “I got an idea, why don’t we have a story time.”

 

This quickly got the rest of the animals’ attention. Especially with the young ones who loved hearing the fox’s stories. 

 

 Roz later added “And while we're at, since the storm has started, I can write down a list of your needs so all of you can at least have something to eat while this storm passes through. Everyone agreed and Roz took out her pad from her chest and listed their needs, once she finished listen them all Roz prepares to go outside with Roz tell Thorn and Thunderbolt to watch over the shelter while she is go and both nodded, while Brightbill, Fink, and Pinktail watch over the kids. Brightbill gave his robot mom one last look.

 

“Be careful Roz.” said Brightbill with worry

 

Roz looked at her goose son and nodded. “I will dear, now hang tight, it won’t be long.” Roz left the shelter with Brightbill still looking at the door, then Fink came up next to him

 

 “Don’t worry Brightbill, if there’s anything I know about Roz, it’s that she is strong and smart; she’ll make it…” he turned Brightbill’s head towards him. 

 

“Don’t start doubting her now… alright.” Fink whispered to him, Brightbill nodded and whispered “Alright.” He hugged Fink, the fox hugged him back and looked at the door as the rain poured in harder and more thunder was heard, “Please be back soon Roz.”

 

 Roz with her diy umbrella navigates from the poor rain, hunting and gathering food as she can from her list and checking them off as she can and putting them in a large woven basket consisting of plants like leaves, flowers, bark and meat such as fish and insects. Once she met all the requirements she started to head back but she soon noticed rain pouring in harder and thunder becoming louder, Roz immediately ran to the shelter with the basket and umbrella on hand.

 

‘I must get to them as fast as I can.’ 

 

‘I must get them as fast as I can’ 

 

‘I must get them as fast as I can’

 

Roz keep on running and running as the storm gets more harder and harder with the ground becoming more wet and slippery, Roz had to be extra careful not to slip or else the food she picked was a lost cause but as she was running-

 

*ZAP*

 

A lightning bolt strikes nearby, making Roz jump and almost tripping over, but thankfully she manages to hold herself long enough and at last she sees the shelter with Fink and Brightbill in front shouting at her. 

 

“HURRY ROZ, THE STORM IS ABOUT TO GET WORSE!” Shouted Fink

 

“COME ON ROZ, WE DON’T HAVE MUCH TIME LEFT!” Yelled Brightbill

 

The other animals soon join them cheering her on, Roz filled with determination has her blue eyes locked in that front door and she keeps running and running as fast as she can even if she knows she will become tired. She kept running close to the door with Fink cheering her on.

 

”YOU’RE ALMOST THERE ROZ JUST A FEW MORE!”

 

The animals yelled the robot’s name out loud as Roz ran faster as the rain continued on the poor, her hands full with the umbrella and the basket and at last Roz was able to reach the shelter entrance albeit very tired and exhausted as everyone shouted with glee. Everyone congratulated and gave their thanks as Fink, Brightbill, and Pinktail with her kids passed out the food from the otters, the raccoons, the deers and moose, the birds perching, and the small critters present. Roz watched as she sat down the animals having fun eating their food and Fink telling the rest stories as the “tv” was turned on. Roz was happy that she could at least provide them comfort and satisfaction. Brightbill flew to Roz and sat next to her shoulder and made a huge smile.

 

“You did it Roz, now all of us have enough to get through this weather. Fink was right, you are strong and smart.” 

 

Roz couldn’t help but chuckle as she pat his head

 

“Thank you Brightbill, now allow me to rest now will you, all of this made my energy levels VERY low.” 

 

Brightbill nodded as he went to where Fink, Thorn, Pinktail, Paddler, and Thunderbolt were at and Roz slowly closed her eyes as she powered down, only slightly hearing the party noises happening.

 

… 

 

As Roz fell asleep, a faint sound was heard from a mile away which made Roz’s eyes start faintly opening up but she just assumed it was background noise so she didn’t pay any mind. 

 

But as the sound became more noticeable, it became louder and louder and then- 

 

*CRASH*

 

Roz instantly stood up from the noise, Roz looked  around only to see the shelter was very dark as the fire was put out and all of the animals had already drifted off to sleep with Brightbill and Fink sleeping next to her. Roz looked at the indoors and looked back outside. She had noticed it was very dark out as it was night out but the storm did thankfully stop and only sprinkles of rain was all that was left. But still wanting to know where this mysterious crash came from, the robot gently lifted Brightbill off her shoulder and placed him next to Fink and Roz slowly got up. She had to tiptoe as to not wake an entire room up and potentially not cause them to panic. Getting out was hard as the animals were all over the place, especially not to step the small critters. Lots of loud snoring can also be heard mainly from Thorn and the moose. Roz had to be very careful overall so it was a relief she finally was able to get out of the shelter without only one noticing. She looked back at the shelter and looked towards the distant forest, with one last look at the shelter she headed straight towards the forest.

 

Like how Roz was running towards the shelter during the storm, she ran where she had heard the crash, following every faint noise she could. She later had to stop to not tire herself out again and instead stood still with a little satellite dish coming out of her head as it turned around to scan the signal; once it picked up, Roz continued heading towards the signal. She later had to stop again when she noticed a pathway consisting of knocked over trees, Roz started for a moment before walking slowly, 

 

‘I wonder what causes this pathway to be like this?’ Roz asked herself, but she later shook her head side by side.

 

‘Never mind that Roz, right now this is where the signal should be coming from.’

 

Roz continued walking past the knocked over trees, feeling anxious in the process but eventually the signal started rapidly beeping as her destination was close by, Roz ran towards it and once she finally got out of the path, her bio lights widened as she couldn’t believe what she was seeing.

 

In a small field surrounded by trees, stood a lone grey object with purple highlights that looked more in line with a jet but it rather took the shape of a hammerhead shark. It was rather dirty and full of scratches, with noises consisting of creeks and scraping. It didn’t help that it was leaking pools of what appears to be a purple substance with smoke arising from it. 

 

Although Roz was very hesitant, her curiosity got the best of her and she would rather  want to approach it, instead of just ignoring it. So she slowly but steadily went down the slope and began to tiptoe once again to the crashed jet; when she got closer, she noticed how big this strange jet was compared to afar. She circled around the jet and even saw her reflection upon the layers of dirt and mud covering it. But she wanted to see this thing even more, so looking up Roz grabbed her hand to the top and pulled herself, once she got on to the top she walked around until she almost tripped on something that looks like a head, she squatted down and knocked the metal “head” with her hand making a clang sound in the process. 

 

“Hello, is anyone there?”

 

… No response

 

Roz knocked his “head” again.

 

… But still no response 

 

Roz eventually got up and explored the rest of the jet including seeing what looks like a giant purple turbine at the rear end; she would eventually later find a mysterious insignia that was near the head. Curious, she bent down and brushed off the dirt present. The insignia was purple that consisted of sharp angles and the shape of it reminded her of a fox like Fink. 

 

“What are you?” Asked Roz

 

”You are certainly no regular plane, not looking like you came from Universal Dynamics.” Said Roz as she touched the logo.

 

As Roz continued staring at the strange insignia, she felt something move, she looked around but then shrugged as if it was just nothing, but suddenly, the metal beneath her keeper was actually moving as if an earthquake had just happened. She later noticed the insignia glowing a dim of purple and once the metal plates began to shift, Roz immediately got off and took a few steps back as she witnessed something incredible.

 

What was once just a strange looking jet now began to shift and move around with some parts becoming legs, others becoming arms, and even the little “head” shape Roz knocked, literally becoming the head itself and the giant purple turbine attaching itself to the right arm. Everything was coming together and despite all the damages, when the transformation was done, it was still in good shape. It was even bigger than Roz had anticipated. She looked at it with awe and wonder of how it was robotic and bipedal just like Roz herself, she wanted to approach it but she held herself back as she needed to do something about this. As she stared at the giant metal creature-

 

“No… the others must know about this too.”

Chapter 3: The Monster

Summary:

Roz and her animal family investigate what this huge and mysterious “creature” might be without knowing who this monster truly is. An injured Megatron now stuck on this island with no communication must set course to find the artifact.

“WHAT IN MOTHER NATURE IS THAT!?!”

The fox cried out as he looked at the giant creature that appeared before him with others also terrified of what they saw; Brightbill and Thunderbolt flew around it like vultures surrounding a dead carcass while Roz, Paddler, and Thorn began circling and examining around this mysterious figure; the beaver, seeing his own reflection within the metal made a snicker; Fink just rolled his eyes as he joined them.

The possum kids hid behind Pinktail in the distance as they watched the group and the kids discussed it together.

“Wow, that is one scary looking monster…”

“Do you think when it wakes up, it’ll eat us?”

“Oh I sure hope not, I would rather be eaten by an eagle than that”

“Guys don’t worry, pretty sure it’s dead anyway.”

“Wait, are you sure about that? what if it’s PLAYING dead???”

All of the possum kids were silent after that and began to feel worried as they looked back at it… the MONSTER. Pinktail just watched with concern as Roz and the gang continued with their investigation. A female grey squirrel then approaches Pinktail and joins her.

“Where do you think this monster came from anyway? Asked the squirrel

“I have no idea Chitchat, I’ve never seen a creature like this throughout my entire existence.”

Chitchat looked at the distance with Pinktail, she also grew worried.

“I sure hope Roz and the others already know what they’re dealing with… or else.” Said Pinktail as she, her kids, and Chitchat watched.

Once Brightbill was done soaring in the skies, he looked at the giant machine up close once he landed on top of it; Thunderbolt then shouted from above.

“Be careful kid! You have no idea what It’ll do, so remain cautious!”

Brightbill nodded as he walked around, his webbed feet felt rather cold and was uncomfortable to walk on despite the creature being made of metal just like Roz. He now began to wonder if maybe this creature could be made by the same guys who created Roz, Vontra, and the other Rozzums.

“Hey mom, do you know if this thing came from the same place as you did? Perhaps you guys can be related.”

Roz looked at the hulking figure with hesitation as she examined the sharp shoulder plates and she shook her head sideways; “I do not think so, it’s unlike anything Universal Dynamics has done. It doesn’t even look like it even was created by them at all.” she said as stroked it.

“Wait a sec, Roz, how were you able to find this thing to begin with?” Fink asked as the other animals were curious too, even both Pinktail with her kids and Chitchat approached Roz to get to know the story too. Roz then saw all of the animals staring, waiting for an answer; Roz vented as she began to tell the story.

“While we were asleep, I heard some strange noises from the sky, I thought it was just background noise until I heard a *insert crash noises* so I had to go out and investigate, at first there was some sort of jet but then suddenly it transformed into… this creature I’ve never seen, so once I got back I had to let you guys know AND we are here now.”

All it came was awkward silence, everyone was struggling with what to say, even Roz herself was conflicted about how they were going to deal with this thing, Chitchat eventually broke the silence up.

“I hope this creature has already passed on, I would not like to imagine what it would look like when it’s alive.” The squirrel and the rest of the animals shivered while having a think about that.

“But I must say,” Paddler said from behind, “Whatever this guy is made from, is pretty impressive if you ask me.” He knocked the metal while looking at his own reflection and posing himself.

Brightbill soon noticed the purple insignia located on its chest and walked towards it. Roz was definitely not lying when she said it looked like Fink while on their way to the crash site. The goose then shifted his attention to the face of the titan, as he slowly walked towards it, he stopped causing his feathers to tense up, it was rather terrifying to look at, the face was all scratched up, covered with black markings from underneath its eyes all the way to its lips, including its nasal area despite not having a nose, and its mouth was covered in sharp teeth akin to that of a shark. The curved yet sharp eyebrows were also a standout for how it made this metal creature grand looking but now, Brightbill couldn’t stand looking at it anymore as it gave him more of the creeps.

“Okay, this thing is rather terrifying to look at.” Brightbill eventually flew down to Thorn’s back as the bear slowly approached the giant.

“And here I thought those predators we fought before were terrifying but this… is a whole other level.” Fink came up behind Thorn and just looked away after that and facing towards Roz.

“Hey Roz can we uh, get out of here now because I have a scary feeling that it’s rather alive than dead and once it wakes up the first thing it sees is all of us as its breakfast.”

Roz looked back at the metal giant and nodded back, the others had a sigh of relief, but Paddler was getting rather too attached to his own reflection making random “artistic” poses so Roz stretched her arm to grab Paddler who now was annoyed that he couldn’t look at himself anymore but as they were about to leave,

*RUMBLE*

The ground began to move, causing Roz and the animals to stand very still; the possum kids held on to Pinktail tight as she and Chitchat held on to Roz’s legs with Paddler clutching onto the robot’s left arm. Fink yelped as he went to Thorn with Brightbill and soon Thunderbolt lying on top of the bear’s back. But thankfully the rumbling quickly stopped, Fink held a huge sigh.

“Phew! Finally, I thought something bad was gonna happe-“

*LOUDER RUMBLING*

Everyone was now in a very stiff position with confused and scared expressions written all over as the ground started to move again.

“You were saying Fink???” Replied an annoyed and terrified Thorn. Fink let out a nervous chuckle.

The ground began to shake once more but this time, it was even louder and was lasting much longer than before.

“Oh GREAT! Never have I thought this island would be experiencing an earthquake already!” complained Paddler.

But Brightbill who was very confused by this sudden earthquake soon began to realize as he looked at the ground and then towards the metal body. The goose's eyes widened with horror as he watched the metal body actually slowly but steadily starting to move.

“Uh guys…” as he quickly flew and perched on Roz’s shoulder now with a very panicked expression.

“What is it Brightbill!?” Shouted Pinktail, still holding on to Roz’s legs.

Brightbill continued looking at it with Roz and the animals eventually looked in the same direction. Now the creature was lifting its back off the ground.

“It’s not an earthquake, but rather…THE MONSTER IS ABOUT TO WAKE UP!!!” Brightbill flew off Roz’s shoulder and headed towards the woods with the animals, now even terrified of what Brightbill said, immediately followed him with Paddler letting himself go from Roz’s grip. As the others went, Fink soon stopped himself as he realized Roz wasn’t following them and saw her standing in the same position.

“ROZ WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?!? WE HAVE TO GO IMMEDIATELY!!!”

The rozzum stood very still as she watched the massive creature lifting its back up from the ground, plates were shifting, metal clanking with each other, and amounts creaking and metal stretching. The rumbling soon came to a complete stop as the monster was in a sitting position on the ground; all there was left was complete silence. Fink along with the rest who just came back watched from afar now in complete shock and disbelief; it was indeed alive all this time but before they could say anything, the creature breathed loudly in the air and soon breathed out a deep sigh. Now in a relaxed position, it slowly opened its eyes; Fink, Brightbill, and the rest all flinched and hid behind a large boulder, Fink stuck his head out and tried to whisper Roz’s name but was soon shut down by the animals giving him a “SHHH”. The eyes fully opened up revealing a bright red, crimson light with a small white circle with that same red in the middle as the pupil, it looked at the sky and eventually the ground where it lifted its hands up towards its face. Roz began to slowly step back, with every foot step being light as a feather, the animals watched very anxiously as they saw their robot friend slowly move back towards them. Suddenly Chitchat was the first to notice a branch in Roz’s way with Brightbill and the rest of the gang following but it was too late to warn Roz as her metal footed step on it and-

*SNAP*

The creature swiftly turned its head towards the sound where it came from and eventually faced towards Roz. She stood in paralysis as its crimson eyes stared right at her bright cyan eyes. Roz looked at her animal friends who were all trembling with fear as the metal giant slowly got up from the ground, Fink immediately had enough and shouted at Roz.

”RUN ROZ! RRUUUNNN!!!”

Roz looked back at the creature one more time and started running towards them, as she ran, the animals immediately followed her (with Brightbill and Thunderbolt they flew) back to the wooden cabin. Once they arrived all of them were out of breath, they huffed and panted or as for Roz, venting out steam. They eventually were able to calm down but Fink was the first one to talk afterwards.

“THAT THING! THAT THING… JUST MOVED!!!”

“Oh my acorns! That was utterly the most terrifying thing I’ve ever seen!” Replied to Chitchat.

“and I always thought Thorn was the scariest on this island, no offense.” Said Thunderbolt as he looked at Thorn.

“None taken, he’s more of a predator than me.” Thorn answered.

“What has my life gotten into at this point!?” Said Paddler.

“We are actually going to die.” One of the possum kids said.

“Roz…” Pinktail being the last to reply.

The animals looked at Roz as she stared at the entry of the door and then she stared back at them.

”Did you actually know if that… creature was actually… dead?” Asked Brightbill.

Roz just shook her head sideways and answered.

“I honestly couldn’t tell, when I found it, I assumed it was a powered down machine and nothing else. Even when it transformed I couldn’t hear anything from it, but now… after getting the chance to actually hear it breathe when it woke up… I can tell this is no ordinary robot, it's not like me but rather…” She looked at Fink, Brightbill, Pinktail, Thorn, Paddler, Thunderbolt, and Chitchat. “It’s more akin to organics like all of you despite being something that could be like me.” She once again shifted her attention towards the opening with the rest looking in the same direction.

“Do you think it could be… an alien?” Brightbill asked.

Roz was silent before answering her son’s question,

“I’m pretty sure it is Brightbill, I mean like we all said… it’s not like anything we’ve seen before.”

The entire cabin was silent for the rest of the time, with everyone now wondering what to do next and how to deal with it.

Megatron was at a loss of words, at the moment he woke up, the first thing he saw was a small white robot staring at him with its cyan eyes after he heard a faint snap in the distance; he then heard a high pitched bark and the robot suddenly just followed it towards the woods and this all was happening when he was just waking up from his fainted state. Just who was this strange robot anyway? It certainly didn’t look like anything he had ever seen back on Cybertron; Megatron eventually shook his head wanting to forget it, after all it wasn’t supposed to be his main interest. He scanned the area around which was all surrounded by several amounts of grass, trees, and dirt. As he tried to stand up, his right skirt plate started creaking causing a great amount of pain on the warlord; Megatron made a violent hissing sound as he held onto his skirt plate and sat back down on the grassy terrain.

‘Wha-what’s happening to me?’

‘Why am I feeling so weak?…’

Megatron first looked at the morning sky, looked back at the ground where he was currently sitting, and then looked at his hip where it triggered the pain reaction, the right vent was crooked and purple energon already started leaking.

‘No, I must get up… I must not let this pain get to me.’ he grunted in pain as he was getting off the ground.’

Megatron hissed as his right skirt plate made a creaking sound as energon was coming out more but unlike last time however, he was making progress and finally he was able to stand on his two clawed feet albeit very clumsy causing the bot to almost fall back to the ground. He looked around once more, before once again staring at the ground, it went one for a couple of minutes until he thought about everyone else back on the ship.

‘Shockwave was right, the storms were no joke… now need to know if my Decepticons can be able to reach me and get out of this place’

Megatron turned on his processor

“Soundwave, this is Lord Megatron, I need to groundbridge back.”

Megatron waited, expecting Soundwave to open the groundbridge like normal but much to the surprise and the dismay of Megatron, it did not appear. Megatron called again

“Soundwave, do you read me? I said I require a groundbridge.”

Once again, Megatron waited for it to appear only to see nothing. Megatron started to grow frustrated, and called everyone.

“Shockwave, this is Lord Megatron speaking, do you read me?”

“Starscream! stop being a fool, answer me!”

“Knockout, can you hear me?!”

“Soundwave, for Primus’s sake please answer me, I beg you!”

Decepticons, I NEED

Megatron grinded his denta, his red optics narrowed, his long pointed optical ridges were now facing downwards, and his entire body was shaking. All of this frustration caused Megatron to let out a loud roar that sent birds flying and nearby critters to hide.

“THIS WRETCHED PLACE HAS NOTHING!!” Yelled Megatron as he was venting and still felt pain from the injury.

Megatron then opened a hologram of map Starscream and Shockwave found earlier with the red point still pointed at the location of the Chimera Stone, he looked between the map and the cleared path where his jet mode passed by as well as the direction where that white robot and the animals went. Although Megatron couldn’t go back to the Nemesis with no communication, at least him being alive gave him an advantage.

“Hmph, foolish Megatron, why go back when I made it this far? Now since the storm has stopped, I must find it, with or without my armada.” Said Megatron as a grin was formed on his scarred face.

As Megatron attempted to walk, the pain came back worse than before which made Megatron yelp. He looked at his injury and noticed how much he was losing energon, but it still wasn’t gonna stop the mech from continuing his attempts on walking; he took a deep vent and slowly started to walk.

He dragged his entire body as his left servo held on to the deep gash to prevent the energon from leaking; as he continued to walk, the pain kept on going, forcing him to bite on his dermas. Despite that however, he was surprisingly making good progress although his walking was stiff. He continued walking with his optics fixated on the soft muddy surface much to his disgust but then…

He stopped.

He spots a twig on his path, but it wasn’t just any twig, it was broken, the object that made that *SNAP* sound. He took a couple steps forward until he was close to it.

Megatron’s crimson optics were now staring directly at the broken twig, the twig that was stepped on by that robot… that darn white robot with the blue eyes, the very first thing he saw when he woke up. His optics narrowed as he began thinking about it.

What in the name of Primus was that?

He continued to stare at the twig, thinking about the moment he awakened and saw a terrified look on the robot’s eyes and running away from him when it heard that bark.

‘That thing, it is defenseless for an Autobot let alone a Cybertronian.Tch in fact, it looks human-made for that matter. Why do I even bother thinking about-’

He suddenly noticed footprints made by this robot surrounded by multiple footprints made by the other creatures, his optics followed the trail and he made a grin once more.

‘This thing must be hiding something important after all, no wonder it ran away from me, it probably knows the location of the Chimera Stone. They will be a fine contribution to the Decepticon cause.’

Megatron chuckled as he continued walking, following the footprints as he went; unaware he was being watched over by the grey squirrel, Citchat on the tree branches with a horrified expression on her face.

“Oh we are so dead, we are SO dead, I must warn the others immediately!” Chitchat whispered as she climbed down from the trunk and ran on all fours towards the cabin. Megatron stopped for a second when he heard a faint sound from a distance but then continued walking.

***

She ran as fast as she could, huffing and puffing as she put every ounce of energy. This was no ordinary predator like an owl or a bear, this is a giant metal alien heading straight towards them.

‘I must get there before it does, I must get there before it does, UGH COME ON!”

She continued to run until she finally reached the cabin and straight to the opening.

“GUYS!”

Roz and the rest of the animals flinched and looked at the squirrel. Chitchat panted hard and she tiredly walked towards Roz.

“Woah, Woah, what’s gotten into you ChitChat? Asked Fink as Roz lifted Chitchat off the ground.

”It’s *pant* It’s *pant* It’s the-” said Chitchat trying to answer.

“Chitchat you need to calm down, you can’t talk in this state.” Stated Roz

“No, no you don't understand, we are in hot water right now!”

“Wait, what do you mean?” Asked Brightbill with the other animals wanting to know too.

“It’s the- it’s the monster, it found our tracks and it’s now heading straight towards us.”

The eyes of Roz, Brightbill, Thorn, Paddler, Pinktail with her kids, Thunderbolt, and especially Fink were made wide open and as if it couldn’t get any worse for the group.

*THUD*

*THUD*

*THUD*

*THUD*

*THUD*

All of them froze up as fear took over their bodies, refusing to speak as Fink made his last statement.

“Ooooohhhh Nooooo”

Notes:

Finally! After 3 months of hiatus, the fanfic has come back! Sorry about the long wait, I had major Writer’s Block that kept be from fully finishing Chapter 2 but now I was able to get it finished. I will be working on Chapter 3 but don’t expect it to come shorter cause my third college semester has already started but if I do have time I’ll work on it and hopefully I can be able to finish the next chapter and not wait so long for it.
