Alola was peaceful and Galar was fun and Sunstreaker got more and more bolder in courting Ash. Gou and Serena were not happy with the yellow bot but seeing how happy Ash was whenever he was around they decided to back off after threatening him. They swore they would find a way to castrate him if he hurt Ash or broke his heart. Lucario was distracting Ash while they did that and while Sunstreaker was amused in the beginning the Pokemon who were looking at him from behind them made him sweat. He scowled at his twin who was snickering away next to Ash who looked at him confused.
Ash, "Is everything okay?"
Sideswipes grinned, "Don't worry sweet spark, just found something that I like."
Ash shrugged and turned to the trees, "Umm.. Your friend can join us, he knows that right?"
Sideswipes, "Yeah, he knows, he just prefers to keep a distance from the others."
Sideswipes, 'That fool is planning something.'
Sunstreaker, 'Tell me something I don't know.'
Sideswipes, 'I only hope he doesn't do anything stupid.'
Which was pretty much jinxing themselves as they watched Makeshift run off with Ash in the middle of an Intergalactic War. Oh boy! Who was gonna tell Optimus? Pits! Who's gonna tell Megatron? The twins looked at each other before giving chase after the processor challenged assassin. There were rules everyone had to follow when it came to sparklings, just because the sparkling was an organic it didn't mean the rules could be ignored.
Ash tapped, "Is there a reason we are running away?"
Makeshift purred, "Do not worry my sweet bitlet. Sire will keep you safe."
Ash looked out the window and grimaced, "Brave words! They are coming this way... Boy they are uglier up close."
Makeshift shook with amusement, "Indeed that are."
Lucario, -I don't think Tyrantrum was pleased with what you did.-
Ash looked at where Tyrantrum was chasing them with an angry roar, "Agreed."
Makeshift, "Your sparkling is a smart one, I'm sure he will figure things out."
Ash mused as he recalled the last year, he was in his twenties now but still enjoyed travelling to new places and making travel blogs on them. The Shadow Gym guide was a big hit among the Gym Leaders, Rangers and high level trainers who used the map to find the shadow gyms. The Gyms adopted Gym Leader Blaine's method of using a riddle for the challenger to figure out in order to find them first. Megatron was fascinated by the idea of shadow gyms and wondered if this would be perfect way to keep of the crazier gladiators calm.
Ash had told him to go ahead with the idea for Cybertron and that he wanted to meet Tarn one day. He sounded like a fun person, read Ash was a big fan in his previous life but let's not give them a spark attack. He could only imagine their reactions when they find out he already died, yeah, he was not that cruel and not willing to put them through that. Ash sat back and leaned against the seat which was thrumming comfortablly against his back making him sleepy. Lucario leaned against Ash and purred when he felt the comfortable thrumming and complimented Makeshift.
Makeshift, "Both of you should get some rest. I have a feeling it will be a long battle."
Ash nodded, "I don't think I can with these monsters around. Lord Primus showed me vision of your planet's past when they attacked for the first time."
Lucario, -You might want to find a safe place to stop and explain this to Tyrantrum. He is furious and the others have felt his anger and fear.-
Makeshift, "Ah! Right.... Good point."
Ash chuckled, "And think about an explanation for Megatron and Optimus. They are going to be furious as well."
Makeshift tightened his belt slightly in comfort around them, "I think I know how to do that. Don't worry."
Megatron was furious when he heard what Makeshift had done, the arrogant fool thought he could just run off with his sparkling. He was not stupid, he had felt Makeshift try to bond with his bitlet slowly and try to take over his bond. His clever little sparkling however had soothed both Megatron and Optimus's bonds and created a third bond with Makeshift instead. Optimus suspected Ash didn't realize what Makeshift was trying to do however as it seems his aura had responded to their anger with calmness and love automatically.
Megatron would have scoffed at that idea saying despite how oblivious Ash could be, he couldn't be that blind. He took his words back after a few weeks when Ash had used the same method to calm down two of his most short tempered Pokemon. Optimus gave him a pointed, what did I tell ya?, look before going to check on Ash who had jumped between the two Pokemon to stop them. He was fine for most part and shooed Optimus away so he could train his baby Pokemon, unless he was offering to help. Prime tilted his helm before agreeing to help and Megatron had joined him after a while helping the over excited Litten.
Megatron found them in a clearing and snarled, "Explain yourself soldier."
Optimus demanded, "What were you thinking?"
Makeshift transformed slowly letting Ash and his Pokemon sleep, "I have a good reason for getting him out of there."
Sideswipes frowned, "You didn't even go to the safe zone."
Makeshift, "The little one refused to go there, despite his fear."
Sunstreaker narrowed his optics, "Explain Makeshift. No more dodging!"
Makeshift hummed, "Did you know Primus sometimes sends him visions of the past?"
Optimus, "We suspected yes."
Makeshift, "Primus sent him a vision of the time the Quintessons first invaded Cybertron. He had been sending him those visions for a week now."
Megatron snarled, "That doesn't explain why you kidnapped him."
Makeshift, "Such a horrid word to describe my actions. I assure you, I did it to keep him safe and sound."
Makeshift muttered, "I was not able to break your bonds anyways."
Ash woke up, "Oh? You are all here."
Optimus, "Are you alright little spark?"
Ash, "Yeah, I'm alright. I think.... I needed that sleep. How bad is the situation out there?"
Megatron picked him up getting a startled shout, "You should have been more worried about yourself."
Ash, ".... Okay! Now I'm sure, I'm definitely missing something here. What is up with you three?"
Optimus looked at Makeshift, "We have our disagreements, you could say."
Ash, "Uh huh... This conversation is not over, for now though, what's the situation?"
Cool Aid, "Let me, little boss! Half of Hoenn region and Sinnoh region have been overrun by Quintessons. We have been working with the Pokemon trainers, Rangers and funnily enough some of the organization members to fend them off."
Ash, "N's organisation and Team Rocket? I trust them and I have an idea on how to keep them busy enough for you to get a clear strike at the head honcho... Or rather Primus sent me a rough sketch of a plan."
Megatron mused, "Is that so?"
Optimus gave Makeshift a dark look as Ash called him over and requested his help with the first half of the plan. It was very ridiculous in it's simplicity.... Well simple if you have Dragon type Pokemon and Pokemon capable of using specialised moves. Makeshift was radiating smugness making the couple bristle with annoyance. If they were not in the middle of a Unicron dammed war, they would have challenged Makeshift by now. Ash then requested Sideswipes and Sunstreaker to go to Cynthia and Lance and get them to gather trainers who had the specific move set.The twins agreed to go but only after pulling Makeshift away and making him swear Ash would not be hurt.
Makeshift huffed insulted at them insinuating he would allow his little sparkling come to harm but agreed. After getting that agreement Sunstreaker left for Sinnoh while Sideswipes left for Jhoto where Lance was currently fighting off a couple of scouts. The visiting Cybertronians had warned Earth about how the Quintessons worked, they would find a planet rich in different resources and heavy population. Then they would start taking over the planet, stealing the resources and kidnapping the young brainwashing them into thinking Quintessons were Gods. Finally they would enslave whoever was left in the planet after draining it from life and the poor unfortunate souls would live the life of slaves.
Yeah, none of the adults were happy to hear any of that. They already worried a lot about the safety of their children when they left home for their journeys. A power obsessed, possibly pediphilic aliens who are obsessed with being called God by children? That's not gonna fly with any of them, even Giovanni who couldn't be bothered with most kids that were not his was disturbed. Sure he is a crime boss but even he was not that ego centric or he dare imagine pedophilic. He can't blame the others for jumping to that sort of conclusion, it was the first thought that crossed his mind too.
N was helping Cynthia out as best as he could with Reshiram's help, they had met up with Sunstreaker a few hours ago and had been told the plan. It seemed simple, too simple for the Quintessons to fall for but Sunstreaker pointed out that the octopus like aliens thought Earthlings were nothing but savages, incapable of strategy. That rubbed Cynthia the wrong way and N swore to Arceus the Sinnoh Champion was breathing literal fire while fuming and marching off. She ordered her Elite to sharpen up moves based on speed while practicing the move Ash requested.
Cynthia was fuming, she had never felt more insulted before, in fact she felt insulted not only for herself but also on behalf of the other trainers out there. She barked her orders at the Elite and the Rangers, making a mental note to get them a nice paid weekend vacation if they survived. The Elites and Rangers understood why she was snapping and got to work twice as hard gathering the the trainers and preparing them.
Cynthia scowled, "A fool incapable of strategizing, are we? I'll show them!"
N, "Miss Cynthia, the trainers who have high level Dragon Pokemon are ready to attack. I received message Ash and a Cybertronian called Makeshift."
Cynthia was surprised, "Huh? Isn't he the Cybertronian who took Ash away from the war zone?"
N, "Yes, Ash was not amused by it but it seems he managed to convince Makeshift to bring him back."
Cynthia, "Well considering what he went through thanks to Cyrus.... I honestly don't blame them for prioritising his safety."
N winced remembering the blunder back in Unova as well as the fight between his own father and Gonzalez. He never realized how crazy and obsessed his Dad was till he compared the two psycophants. It certainly helped in getting rid of any pink glasses he was wearing as he helped Ash and the others bring him down. Now they were battling against the Quintessons a bunch of crazy God complex aliens, he wishes that was just an exaggeration. But the previous recordings of war shared by the Cybertronians blew that wish away.
N sighed, "I think I can see Ash."
Cynthia, "Great let's move people."
Ash joined them, "Cynthia, N, it's great to see you safe. How is Dawn?"
Cynthia gave a bitter smile, "She watched her home town get burned to the ground because of the Quintessons."
Ash, "Yeah, stupid question, I will go talk to her and make sure she is alright."
N, "She's with her Pokemon and Paul."
Ash nodded and went in search for her, 'I hope she is alright.'
Dawn looked up, "Ash?"
Ash, "Dawn, thank Mew. You are okay."
Dawn rushed to hug him, "Ash!"
Ash held her shaking form, "Let it out Dawn, just let it out. We'll get them back."
Dawn sniffled, "Gone, my home town is gone."
Ash, "We will rebuild it back. I promise."
Paul, "Ash, you are here."
Ash, "Paul, come here, big guy."
Paul gave a small smile, "Good to see you again, old friend."
Ash hugged them both close feeling relieved they were okay at least, "Let's get them back for what they did to Sinnoh."
Dawn nodded, "Yes, let's do it. My Altaria has been itching for pay back."
Paul, "Let's go. Everyone is ready."
The Elites, Rangers, trainers and Pokemon were grouped into units and spread out across the field facing the Quintessons. They saw a few of the Cybertronians gladiators join them in the fight. Ash recognized some of them like Berserker and Groundpounder who reminded Ash of Zarude. There were others Ash didn't recognize and half wondered if his presence changed things for the others, he just hoped he survived. Ash, Dawn and Paul watched as the team consisting of Earthlings and Cybertronians worked together creating an opening which their unit as well as two others grabbed.
Ash shook his head, "Charizard, Tyrantrum, Mega Sceptile, Garchomp, Goodra, Noivern, Kommo - O, Dragonite and Dravovish! Let's do this together, Draco meteor."
Dawn, "Altaria, Draco meteor."
Paul, "Kingdra, Salamance, Druddigon, Hydreigon Draco meteor! We have only one chance."
Ash, "Bring those ships down!"
Paul, "Don't let them escape."
Dawn, "Do it for our home!"
The Pokemon were fired up and attacked the space ships together. The shields were a headache and powerful but after focusing on one point the shield began to crack. The other flying Pokemon and trainers kept the droids who were already in the sky busy. Ash got a nod from Makeshift signaling Optimus and Megetting had located the main ship. That made him grin ferally and turned to the enemy on the ground.
Ash, "Listen up soldiers! We got them grounded now! Do not forget your training and what you are fighting for! Let's teach these motherfuckers a lesson they'll never forget."
Dawn held her modified gun up, "Hell yeah! Let's go Empoleon, Mamoswine. We are not letting them get away with what happened to Pachirisu, Buneary and .... mom."
Empoleon, "Eon!"
Mamoswine, "MAMO!"
Paul shot using the gun Que had given him, "This is for you Reggie! Let's go team!"
Ash looked at them worried, he had seen the recording of what happened to Sinnoh when the Quintessons first arrived. Johanna and Reggie were some of the first responders and while their Pokemon had managed to get them away.... They were both in coma battling for their lives. Ash gritted his teeth, he didn't want to loose any of his friends, he would not know what to do if that happened. Ash ran on top of Makeshift and slammed his staff down on one of the technorganic.
Ash, "We need to get inside one of those ships."
Makeshift, "You have a plan?"
Ash, "That one didn't flinch, acknowledge nor feel the attack. I bet these lot are all being controlled and if we find the main control."
Dawn, "How do we know it will be on the ship?"
Ash, "We don't. Which is why Lucario, Pikachu, Makeshift and I will go."
Makeshift grinned darkly, "Even if we don't get the main control board, we might get our hands on some good weapons."
Paul smirked, "Alright! Go! We got your back."
Dawn nodded and watched her friend, brother and tutor, go with the Cybertronian. She turned to her enemies and was pulled away from an attack which would have blown her arm off. She looked at who pulled her away and it was the Cybertronian Sunstreaker who according to Gou and Serena was actually courting Ash. Like serious old fashioned courting with poems, secret areas for dates, gifts and everything. Empoleon nodded in thanks to the gladiator for saving his partner before using a a powerful aqua jet on the bastard who shot her.
Dawn, "Sunstreaker, go after Ash! We'll manage."
Sunstreaker, "Yeah, not a good idea. I gave him my promise I'll keep you safe."
Paul, "May and Drew will be joining us soon, we will be fine."
Dawn, "Go Sunstreaker, stay by his side."
Sunstreaker, "I'll go once back up arrives, not a minute earlier."
Paul, "Fine then. But you better be by Ash's side soon, especially if you are serious about him."
Sunstreaker paused then smirked nodding in after and waited till May and Drew arrived at the place alongside Solidad and Harley. He knew they would be okay and raced after Makeshift, Ash, Lucario and Pikachu who were battling against a few guards.The yellow gladiator called Makeshift and teamed up to eliminate the guards together.
Ash, "Dawn and Paul?"
Sunstreaker, "Solidad, May, Drew and Harley are with them. They are safe."
Ash, "Thank you."
Makeshift grunted, "Focus young ones!"
Sunstreaker, "Did you just admit you are old?"
Makeshift reached out to hit the younger gladiator who laughed and dodged the hit going towards the main control area. The gladiator gave a look around before going ah ha when he saw the control panel and started to check the data. Ash watched as his servos flew across the keyboard and found what they were looking for and shut down the fliers first before shutting down the foot soldiers. After a while they came out of the ship and was greeted with cheers from the trainers and Pokemon.
Ash looked around and saw his friends were alive though not in the best condition but still very much alive. He gave a sigh of relief and pressed up against Makeshift who rumbled in comfort promising him that both Megatron and Optimus would return to him. By his side Sunstreaker looked around making a head count of everyone who were alive and looked back at Ash with worry. There were a few Pokemon, humans and Cybertronians who were offlined and he knew how Ash and his friends would react to it.
Sunstreaker, 'I hope you return safely, Prime, High Lord, for the sake of my Conjunx.'
[A. N.: I'm reading my Predator comics again.
