Night Shadow kept going on the path and was still trying to get the hang of being a car. It was a first time being a car so he was still getting used to the feeling of driving. At first, his speed was uncontrollable and his steering was too random but after a few minutes of driving, he got used to it and was much more stable than before. Night Shadow's driving was not the best but it was certainly an improvement.
The path was a little uneven but Night Shadow didn't mind and kept driving on the path when he realized something. Suddenly, Night Shadow's mood dropped as he didn't want it to be true and quickly asked...
'Hey, system, the two fragments of the Allspark are not stolen right?!'
[No, host...The "Glitch" only steals XP]
Night Shadow sighed relief and started asking his doubts.
'System, about the "Glitch" you mentioned, can it just steal any system user's XP? Is it a system user?'
[No, host...The "Glitch" is not a system user but an error created while the "creators" were creating the systems...The "Glitch" was sealed, right after its creation, so it wouldn't cause trouble for the other system users...But over time, the seal placed on it started to weaken and the "Glitch" was becoming stronger and stronger...Rarely, if any system user gains a huge amount of XP, it can escape the seal for a small amount of time and steal the XP of that user albeit at a heavy cost...Every time it escapes the seal, it loses most of its strength and goes into a weakening period in which it is at its most vulnerable form...The "Glitch" can only steal the XP before the system takes it...The host was unlucky to be one of the victims of the "Glitch"...]
Night Shadow was confused and asked the system, 'But, why didn't anyone destroy the "Glitch" when it was at its most vulnerable form?'
[It is because the "Glitch" is necessary to be alive...If the "Glitch" was killed @#@!(*#)@))!($^*@&&@((*@&*$(@# would happen]
Night Shadow did not understand the words and did not even bother asking the system about it. If he asked the system, the system would probably reply that he is still weak and needs to get stronger. But Night Shadow could not deny that he felt something bad would happen if the "Glitch" would be killed.
Night Shadow was thankful that the "Glitch" could rarely steal anyone's XP but was still angry at it for stealing his. Night Shadow "daydreamed" about the level he would have reached if he still had that amount of XP but that "Glitch" had to interfere and take his XP. First the system, then the "Glitch". Night Shadow was so pissed right now he wanted to blow a planet up. Although his anger level kept rising, he didn't stop asking the questions...
'System, what does "Glitch" do with the XP it steals?'
[It consumes it and becomes stronger]
'System, has someone stolen the Allspark?'
[Negative, host...The Allspark is missing from Cybertron and is currently somewhere in space]
Night Shadow nodded and didn't ask any more questions and continued to move on. Night Shadow asked the system to show his status.

Night Shadow was looking at his stats when suddenly, an egg appeared right next to him. Night Shadow looked at the egg and smiled. It was Freya, Night Shadow's new family member. Night Shadow felt that Freya was trying to tell him something but Night Shadow could not understand what. Freya went towards one of the mountains of garbage and Night Shadow felt her pointing at it. Night Shadow realized something and asked...
"Freya, are you...hungry?"
Freya seemed to understand what Night Shadow was telling and Night Shadow felt a "yes" coming from her. He stopped, looked at the mountain then looked at Freya. Night Shadow nodded but did not understand what to feed her. Seraphim had not mentioned anything about food for Freya but Night Shadow got his answer pretty quickly.
Night Shadow saw Freya "turn" towards the mountain and the mountain disappeared, leaving some green-colored threads floating. The threads flew towards the egg and went inside the egg. Night Shadow looked at the scene with shock. Night Shadow felt Freya was still hungry and told her...
"Eat how much ever you want"
Under Night Shadow's shock-filled eyes, Freya went to each mountain and "ate" it. She did this for a few minutes and when she was done, Night Shadow could see miles away with not even a piece of garbage left. Night Shadow felt Freya was full as she came towards the car and rub herself on it before disappearing somewhere.
Night Shadow could not believe how much she ate. If this much was Freya's appetite now, he couldn't imagine her appetite later on. Suddenly, he felt some movement behind him and he looked behind.
Night Shadow saw a plane landing vertically a few meters away from him and the doors of the plane opened. 20 or so armored "things" came out of the plane and surrounded Night Shadow with the lasers of their gun pointed at him. The armored "things" were wearing armor that looked like it came from a sci-fi movie.
When Night Shadow did not do anything, the "things" parted, and a man came forward. Behind the man were another 4 armored "things" with their guns reloaded and ready to fire.
The man came and stopped at 5 meters from Night Shadow and said, "Identify yourself"
Night Shadow did not say anything for some time and the man asked again, "You are on one of the planets under the Alliance Hub. You are to identify yourself or else we will be taking you to the prison"
When Night Shadow heard the word "Alliance Hub", he quickly switched on the speakers and said, "Hello, my name is Avery and I am here to find the person who buys the cores of those Cybertronian idiots. My spaceship malfunctioned and crashed into one of these mountains of garbage and so, I was just looking around trying to find out which planet I am on"
Night Shadow used a more human-like voice and purposely called the transformers "idiots" so that the guy thinks he is not one of the transformers themselves. The man looked at Night Shadow with some suspicion but when Night Shadow did not do anything, he seemed to buy Night Shadow's words as he put his fist up and the armored "things" put their guns down and looked at Night Shadow with no hostility.
The man smiled and said, "Hello Avery, I am Luxtr, one of the people who know where to find the buyers for those cores. Why don't we become friends and go to the Alliance Hub together? Just come out of the car"
Night Shadow smiled as his words were bought by Luxtr and replied in a happy tone, "Yes, why not, friend Luxtr"
At the same time said, 'System, transform me into a human'
Instantly, he transformed from a car into a human. The man as well as Night Shadow was surprised by this transformation. The man had never seen anything like this before and Night Shadow was surprised because he thought he would transform into a transformer and then into a human.
Well, anyway, he was grateful to the system for this. He didn't want his true form to be revealed. He could just kill them but he also wanted to know where the Alliance Hub is. If he killed Luxtr, he wouldn't get the location of the Alliance Hub anytime soon. It was like a golden opportunity to Night Shadow and he did not want to mess it up.
Night Shadow quickly removed the clothes from his storage and wore them. It all happened so quickly that Luxtr couldn't see Night Shadow's face. Night Shadow didn't want to show his face right now so he wore the mask too.
Luxtr wanted to ask something but started hesitating. Night Shadow knew what Luxtr wanted to know, so he pulled his shirt and showed his cyborg body to Luxtr. Luxtr relaxed and smiled towards Night Shadow. Luxtr reached Night Shadow and put his arm around him and the duo walked towards the spaceship. Night Shadow did not feel any suspicion coming from Luxtr. Night Shadow could not tell if Luxtr was too naive to believe anything a stranger tells or he is just putting up an act.
While walking towards the spaceship, Night Shadow got to know more about Luxtr and the Alliance Hub.
The Alliance Hub was a huge spaceship that is founded by the human race. The Alliance Hub started out as a small spaceship albeit a powerful one. The founder of the Alliance Hub had some enemies but they were destroyed when they fought with the founder. Although it did cost a lot for the founder, he still won in the end. It was a big war and due to the Alliance Hub winning the war, the word of the Alliance Hub started spreading out to the corners of the universe. Leaders of many races started making friends with the founder, in hopes of being friends with a powerful person. And because of their friendship, the Alliance Hub prospered.
In the Alliance Hub, you can now find babies of Dragons, the Elvish Springwater, weapons of dwarves, and so on. You could even buy planet or start a mercenary group there. The Alliance Hub also had hotels, casinos, residential areas, and much more. If there's anything you need, the Alliance Hub has it. The currency of the Alliance Hub was - Mystic Crystals
Night Shadow also got to know the rankings of things there.
-----------------------
1 - The ranking for the spaceship, in accordance with their sizes, were - Dwarf, Ultra Small, Small, Medium, Large, Ultra Large, and Abyssal.
2 - The ranking for the people there are(based on the amount of money the person has) - Civilian, Lesser Nobles, Greater Nobles, Baron, Viscount, Earl, Marquess, Duke, the Two hands of the founder and the Inherited founder.
3 - The rankings of the currency(Mystic Crystal) are - Lower, Middle, Higher, and Pure.
1 Pure Mystic Crystal>1,000,000 Higher Mystic Crystal
1 Higher Mystic Crystal>1,000,000 Middle Mystic Crystal
1 Middle Mystic Crystal>1,000,000 Lower Mystic Crystal
-----------------------
Night Shadow was amazed by the rankings. Night Shadow also got to know that Luxtr was a Greater Noble and this spaceship of his was a Dwarf Spaceship. Night Shadow thought about it and came to the conclusion that the Fallen Phoenix was also a Dwarf Spaceship.
Night Shadow and Luxtr entered the spaceship and the spaceship took off in a few minutes. Night Shadow and Luxtr sat together while the armored robots sat around them.
The spaceship entered the "zone", the place where the atmosphere ends and space starts in a few moments. Night Shadow looked out of the window and could only see the gray ground and mountains of garbage as eyes could see. Luxtr seemed to follow Night Shadow's gaze as he said...
"This planet, Planet G-4X1, is called "Waste Planet". As the name suggests, this is one of the planets where the Alliance Hub throws the waste it generates. If you are surprised by this much amount of garbage, then I don't what will happen if you see the other waste planets of the Alliance Hub"
Night Shadow chuckled at Luxtr's answer and suddenly got an idea. Night Shadow internally told the system...
'System put all the waste on this planet into the storage'
[Yes, host]
Suddenly, the mountains of garbage on Planet G-4X1 disappeared from Night Shadow's view and appeared in the storage. When Night Shadow put the garbage into the storage, he was the only one looking outside the window, so no one saw this shocking scene. Night Shadow was still amazed every time he put anything into the storage. It was as if the storage was another universe inside him. Immediately, an inspiration struck Night Shadow as he said...
'System, can you put the Allspark into the storage from here?'
[Negative, host...The distance between the host and the Allspark is too much...]
Night Shadow got confused after hearing the system's answer and asked...
'System, could you tell me what do you mean by that?'
[Host can put anything into the storage depending upon the size of the object...For example, the host can put a small piece of shard into the storage from the host with a maximum distance of around 20 meters...But he cannot put the same shard into the storage from 1 kilometer away...]
Night Shadow seemed to have understood this as he nodded in understanding. What the system was trying to tell is that he can put anything in the storage from a far distance if the size of the object is big. If the same object was smaller, Night Shadow would have to come closer to the object to place it in the storage.
Night Shadow left the thought there as the spaceship entered space and Luxtr told Night Shadow, "Put on your seatbelt, Avery. We will shortly start warp traveling"
Night Shadow nodded and put on the seatbelt. In a few seconds, Night Shadow saw the space in front of the spaceship distorting as a multi-colored hole was created. The spaceship entered the hole as Night Shadow's imagination ran wild on how the hub would look like.
