and the Second Generation of Transformer's comics
Kynight walked towards Eolian as she looked up at her. "Well, what do you have?" Kynight whispered as she glanced at the computer screen.
"There are many interesting opportunities here. Ones that can advance our race and our standing." Eolian said with a sly smile on her face plate.
"Excellent! Tell me more." Kynight said as she crossed her arms in front of herself and leaned against the table.
"Okay, let's see...now remember this is only one dimensional historical base and there can be many differences in each dimension." Eolian began as she returned to her computer, "Something called the Crystal of Power left by a race called the Aztec, Pearl of Bawhodeen a weather controlling device, the Heart of Cybertron and energy maximizer, and a lightning bug...
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha!" Kynight burst out laughing as she imagined a lightning bug flying around Megatron and Optimus' heads. Eolian stopped as she looked at Kynight questioning.
"Nothing, go on." Kynight chuckled. "Okay, well of Transformation on some distant planet, the key to Vector Sigma..."
"Wait! What about Transformation? Like our Transformation chip?" Kynight asked as she jerked away from the table with interest.
"I'm accessing, well of Transformation now. The Well of Transformation is a base of liquid that changes the molecules of an individual by channeling their thoughts into the shape they desire." Eolian reported as Kynights interest grew.
"I want to know more." Kynight said as she ame up behind Eolian and stared at the computer screen.
"Okay, the computer says the Decepticons conquer the Trollcons, which are a type of human. Decepitran, the main computer, took over and had the Trollcons build him a floating temple. The Trollcons rebelled, Deceptiran called for help. Autobots and Decepticons replied. The parties included; Megatron, Astrotrain, Dirge, and Soundwave with his cassettes; Laserbeak and Rumble. Autobos; Cosmos, Preceptor, Seaspray, and Bumblebee. The Autobots defeated the Decepticons with a Transformer Trollcon...oh, she used the Well of Transformation to change into a Transformer! Kynight! Are you thining what Im thinking!" Eolian cried as she turned to see Kynight at the door leaving the lab.
"Hey! Wait up!" Eolian yelled as she ran to catch up to Kynight.
* * *
(Place: an otherwise quiet Government Tower.)
"Come Raggletag!" Quartz exclaimed as he waved his hands around.
"No...no is no!" Raggletag responded as Bond and Rust-Up shook their heads. The door flew open to a very fast paced Kynight and an out of breath Eolian. Kynight quickly moved towards the males.
"Raggletag, darling!" Kynight expelled with a voice that spelled trouble for everyone.
"Kynight." Raggletag said with an 'oh no' look on his face plate. "Dear, guess what? I found the perfect little adventure for us. One that will upgrade our standing and help you be more accepted here...and you all know how Slee's been acting of late so this comes in the nick of time." Knight stated as she sat down next to him.
"Oh...Primus...help." Quartz siad as he went down on one knee and brought his hands together in prayer.
"No! No more adventures!" Raggletag stormed, Kynight had a way of finding trouble on her adventures. Kynight threw Quartz an evil look as her hands went to her hops. The others chuckled at the exchanges. Frowning, Kynight suddenly brightened, everyone stopped laughing.
"Raggletag...? Kynight said with a bit of feeling as she sat in Raggletag's lap.
"Oh, boy..." Raggletag said as he gave a helpless look into the sky, "you win."
"So that's how it's done." Eolian siad as she took in the scene.
"Aarrgghh!! Kynight stop teaching Eolian how to do that stuff!!" Quartz yelled as everyone burst out laughing.
* * *
(Place; Trollcon)
"Alana, the sky looks strange tongiht." Mark said as he splashed water around with his tail.
"Yes, something seems..." Alana said as she stared at the stars.
* * *
"We're ready for landing!" Eolian yelled as she loked at the rest of the crew. "Okay, baby, don't worry, we're taking our seats." Quartz said as Bond and Rust-Up chuckled. Eolian rolled her optics as Kynight and Raggletag entered the bridge.
"I think we missed something." Raggletag siad as he looked at his friends.
"Ha, knowing these guys, it's probably a male thing." Kynight sniffed as Eolian chuckled to herself, "Let's begin our landing, then I want probes released. I want the planet mapped, samples taken and I want the WEll of Transformation found!" The crew turned to their work as the shop began to land.
* * *
"Mark, look! It's some kind of ship!" Alana exclaimed as Kynight's ship decloaked.
"We must tell Tomock!" Mark cried as he and Alana drove beneath the water.
* * *
"Life signs found, humanoid." Rust-Up said as he picked up Mark and Alana.
"I want a full scan of the Trollcons to go with our mission." Kynight ordered as she turned to Eolian, "Eolian, please put us upon Decepitran's floating temple. It will make an excellent base."
"Will do. Scanning area now..Land or should I say floating mass found. Changing course for that area. We'll shortly." Eolian said as Kynight leaned back in her chair.
"You thrive on this don't you?" Raggletag said as he watched Kynight. Smiling softly at Raggletag, Kynight winked, she loved this.
* * *
"Mark, Alana, what is your hurry?" Tomock asked as he watched Mark and Alana swim towards him.
"Tomock, a shop is landing near Decepitran's Temple." Mark said with growing worry.
"A ship? Decepitran's again?" Tomock asked as he turned towards the temple.
"Unknown, we should check it out." Mark said as Alana began to move towards the Well with Tomock.
* * *
(place: deep space)
"Commander, we've picked up a trail from a space vessel." Rook reported as he ordered the information put up onto the main viewer.
"The indictation from the trail of the ship is huge. A transport perhaps." Rook suggested as he turned to his commander, Jhiaxus.
"Uh, things have been quiet of late. Follow the trail." Jhiaxus ordered as he became interested in what kind of ship left the trail.
* * *
"Kynight." Eolian called as she bent over and took samples of the water.
"Hey, Eolian...where did the guys go?" Kynight asked as she came down next to Eolian.
"Uh, I thought they were with you?" Eolian responded as she handed the sampels over to Kynight.
"Mmm, guess I'm not the one to find trouble on this adventure." Kynight laughed as Eolian began to chuckle.
* * *
"This is great!" Quartz announced as he collected samples of dirt. Bond smiled, as he placed a few blades of grass in the sample kit.
"Hey, yo machines?!" Raggletag called as he and Rust-Up compared a few trees. Quartz and Bond grabbed the sample kit and went to their friends.
"Wow, those are interesting specimens. Nearly the same and yet totally different." Quartz said as he began to go through their sample kit.
"Quartz, you have the weirdest hobbies." Rust-Up chuckled as the Trollcons listened.
"Quartz, I now see why you and Eolian will make the perfect pair." Raggletag commented as Quartz looked up.
"Did you hear that?" Quartz asked as he stood up and looked around.
"Thermal scanner on." Bond said as he surveyed the area, "Three humanoids, over there." The group looked at each other as the Trollcons cae out in the open.
"Raggletag, go on, you've dealt with humans before." Quartz said as he gave Raggletag a ltitle push.
"Uh, hello..." Raggletag began as his companion looked nervously at hte humanoid.
"Tell me Autobot, why do you travel with Decepticons? Are you their slave?" Alana asked as she began to realize the Transformers were a little afraid of them.
"Slave? No, they're my friends. My name is Raggletag, that's Bond, Quartz and Rust-Up." Raggletag said as he went down on his knees. Alana moved closer to Raggletag.
"Friends? Do they not conquer worlds? Destroy lives?" Tomock asked as he came up to Alana.
"Yes, they are Decepticons." Alana said as she pointed towards Bond, Quartz, and Rust-Up.
"So we're Decepticons." Rust-Up said.
"Ya, that doesn't mean we're evil." Bond said as he looked at his friends.
"Easy guys, they're talking about Cybertronians not Paixens. You see you're talking about different planets and different Decepticons." Raggletag said as he began to explain the differences in Paixens and Cybertronians.
* * *
"Commander, Jhiaxus, we are coming upon a planet. Waht are your orders?" Rook asked as he watched Jhiaxus. "Scan the planet, you idiot." Jhiaxus said as he frowned at Rook.
"Yes, Lord Jhiaxus." Rook said as he ordered as scan.
* * *
"Kynight! Eolian!" Quartz screamed as his group neared their ship. Rust-Up moaned as raggletag shook his head and Bond chuckled. The Trollcons watched as two female Autobots appeared and moved towards them.
"Well, I see you've made some friends." Kynight chuckled as she went on her knees and smiled.
"This is Kynight and Eolian." Raggletag said as an introduction as Eolian joined Kynight on her knees. Alana smiled as she took Kynight's finger in her hand, they were friendly.
* * *
"Commander, we have detected six robotic life forms as well as humanoids...we also have detected the remains of a Transformers' base." Rook reported as he stood at attention in front of Jhiaxus.
"Cybertronians?" Jhiaxus asked, a bit surprised to find them on this planet.
"One for sure, the others are somehow different, my Lord." Rook replied.
"Different? Interesting, land the ship and lets have a look at these other Transformers...then we will conquer this planet and enslave its inhabitants." Jhiaxus said as a faint smile appeared on his face plate.
* * *
"It's hard to believe that Autobots and Decepticons are working together in peace...I mena you're just exploring?" Mark asked as he looked at the Paixens.
"Well, you must remmeber Paixens are half breeds and have both Autobot and Decepticon technology in them." Eolian said as she continued her bio scan of the Trollcons.
"We hope to learn about other races, and improve the perceived ideas of ours." Kynight said as an alarm began to sound inside the ship. Everyone's head whipped around towards the ship.
"Proximity alarm!" Bond yelled as he ran into the ship.
"Proximity alarm? But that means..." Quartz said as his confused look cleared up.
"We have an incoming ship!" Bond yelled as he ran to the entrance of the shop looking worried.
"Tomock!" Quickly get your people to safety! We'll find out who it is and let you know what's going on." Kynight ordered as she and Eolian began to move toward the ship.
"We understand, be careful my friends!" Tomock called as he Alana, and Mark moved towards the El of Transformation. Kynight waited a moment as Raggletag, Rust-Up, and Quartz moved.
"I already have the spy sphere ready." Eolian said as she sifted her weight from one foot to the other.
"Do it...I need samples of that ilquid, as much as possible, but undetected. Do you understand?" Kynight said as she turned to her cousin.
"Yes, I'll do whatever is needed,but what of the guys? You going to tell them?" Eolian responded as she glanced at the way they had goine.
"I know...mmm, well, I guess what the Sisterhood doesnt know can't hurt us." Kynight said as she closed the door and began to walk toward the bridge.
"Agreed...I'll be back as soon as possilbe, good hunting." Eolian said as she took off in the opposite direction.
"Good Hunting." Kynight whispered back into the empty hallway. Entering the bridge, Kynight saw a ship of obvious Transformer design.
"Kynight! This ship doesn't fit any identification records we have!" Bond yelled, his youth was showing.
"It's close to a few Cybertronian models." Rust-Up commented as the ship began a landing.
"Close? What do you mean close?" Kynight asked as she took the command chair, "and put the shields up on low at least!"
"That symbol!" Raggletag said as he quickly took a seat and plugged into the computer,
"Look! Compare the Decepticon symbol we know to this one!"
"They're the same and yet different?!?" Rust-Up exlaimed as Raggletag over lapped the symbos.
"This is not good...I have a bad feeling about it." Kynight said as everyone watched Transformers begin to exit the strange ship.
"Rook!" Jhaxius yelled as Rook got Jhaxius' warriors together.
"Yes, Lord Jhaxius we are ready." Rook reported as Jhaxius stared off in the Paixens direction.
"It's about time, let's go." Jhaxius ordered as he took off towards the Paixen's ship.
* * *
"Alana, what's wrong?" Mark asked as he stood at the edge of the Well of Transformation.
"I thought...I guess I'm just jumpy...let's go." Alana said as she stared at the entrance of the cave.
"Hurry, you two, our people need to know what is going on!" Toock cried from the water as he began to dive beneath the water. Mark jumped in and Alana soon followed. A small sphere entered the cave and floated to the waters edge. A slight hum echoed off the sphere as it scanned the cave and water for life forms.
"No life forms detected." The sphere whispered as it began to return to the entrance of the cave.
"Standing perimeter" Eolian ordered as she entered the cave. Going to the water ege, Eolian set her sample kit down. She had a lot of work to do and a limited time to do it in.
* * *
"Raggletag...those angles...it is a Decepticon symbol...and the ship is similar. Could it be...could it be a futuristic symbol, maybe this is a futuristic dimension?" Kynight asked as she gave her mate a questioning look.
"A future dimension?" Raggletag said as he looked a the screen. "It is possible." Quartz said as he began to cross the dimensional grid with the information at hand.
"Uh...we have a big problem right outside." Rust-Up said as he stared at hte side screen.
"Geez, he's huge!" Bond exclaimed as he caught sight of Jhiaxus.
"We're in trouble." Quartz whispered as he turned to Kynight.
"'Night?" Raggletag asked as Kynight continued to stare at the screen.
"Where's Eolian?" Quartz suddenly asked, wondering where his promise was.
"Later! Full security on, computer." Kynight ordered as she jumped up and moved towards the door.
"Security measures up and running." The ship's computer hummed. Kynight stopped and turned to her companions.
"Let's move out...we have visitors." Kynight ordered as Raggletag came up beside her.
"Maybe they're friendly?" Bond whispered as Kynight and Raggletag left the bridge. Quartz and Rust-Up gave doubtful looks at each other.
* * *
"An interesting ship...Transformer in origin? Cybertronian?" Rook asked as he stared at the unique ship. Suddenly the door opened revealing Kynight.
"Seems you're right...but perhaps not Cybertronian." Jhaixus said as two Autobots came down the ramp and a Decepticon appeared at the top of the ramp.
* * *
Eolian filled the last sample tube with the liquid from the Well and gathered her things. It was time to get back to the ship and find out what was going on...hopful their visitors were friendly, but knowing Kynight's luck, it wasn't likely.
* * *
Jhiaxus stepped forward as two more Decepticons appeared on the boarding ramp. Kynight took a deep breath, something about this warrior bothered her greatly, he made her uneasy.
"Kynight." Raggletag whispered as the huge warrior observed them. Shaking herself mentally back to the present, Kynight took a step towards Jhiaxus.
"Greetings, my name is Kynight. This is Raggletag, Quartz, Bond, and Rust-Up. How may we help you?" Kynight asked in a cheerful voice and a pleasant smile on her face. Jhiaxus looked down at the small Autobot.
"He was so small and petite.' Jhiaxus thought, 'I could crush him with one hand.'
"Greetings...I am commander Jhiaxus of the Decepticon ship Twilight. We were passing by this way and crossed your trail." Kynight tok a human second and realized that they were in a future dimension by the simple fact that they were detected, others didn't have the technology to do that.
"Oh? Then are you also surveying this planet?" Kynight asked as she looked up at Jhiaxus, he was not to be trusted.
"Yes and no...youre ship signal was similar to a Cybertron vessel and we went to check it out." Jhiaxus said as he glanced at the other Transformers, noticing one was missing.
* * *
Eolian paused as the spy sphere stopped short. "Unknown Transformers detected." The spy sphere hummed as it returned to Eolian.
"Great...let's go around and enter through the back door." Eolian said as she made a turn and traveled behind their ship. Wildstar.
* * *
"Ah, you're looking for Cybertronians? lucky for us we're Paixens." Kynight stated, she needed to buy time to get as much information about this future dimension as possible.
"Strange that we have never seen or heard of a Paixen before." Jhiaxus countered, he was not one for word games.
"We keep to ourselves...I thought you said you planned to survey this planet?" Kynight countered as Jhiaxus frowned. Suddenly Eolian appeared at the top of the boarding ramp.
"Kynight..." Eolian called as she walked up to Kynight.
"Excuse me a moment." Kynight said as she took a hand scanner from Eolian. Plugging in, unnoticed, Kynight read the message, 'I've broken down their security codes and have began to down load the information there. Note, they plan to enslave us as they've done to to Cybertron.' Jhiaxus watched the two autobots and realized the one called Kynight was a little angry. what was going on? Kynight returned the scanner to Eolian and went back to Jhiaxus.
"I'm sorry, what were you going to say?" Kynight instantly slid her slicer out and moved into an opening as the others opened fire, Quartz and Bond used their special abilities. Quartz fired his crystilizer as Bond shot a stream of bonding agent (crazy glue) into the middle of Jhiaxus' troops.
Kynight and Jhiaxus by Marg Davis
Jhiaxus gasped as Kynight ripped into his belly with her slicer. Seizing Knight by the troat, Jhiaxus began to squeeze. Jhiaxus totally out weighed Kynight as she was pushed down into the ground. Survival instinct took over as Kynight's life force buckled. Activating her saws in her hips, Kynight went for Jhiaxus' arm.
"Aaaarrrrggghhh!!!" Jhiaxus screamed as he lost his right arm. Suddenly Raggletag was beside Kynight.
"Transformation!" Raggletag yelled as he rushed Jhiaxus in the face plate. Jhaixus flew backward as Kynight went down on her knees, gasping for breath.
"Reinforcement are coming!" Rust-Up yelled as he looked towards Twilight.
"Back up, I'm letting loose a stink bomb!" Eolian cried as she heaved a stink bomb into the middle of the reinforcement.
"Quartz, we need to put them into stasis." Eolian yelled as she ran into the ship with Quartz right behind her.
"Kynight..." Raggletag said as he sent his thought to her. "I'm fine, it's his fuel...I will need Eolian to repair my vocal unit. It is nearly crushed." Kynight sent back as she got to her feet.
"Here." Quartz said as he ran up to them, "Calming agent. Are you okay?"
"Eolian's skills will be needed." Raggletag said as he injected Jhiaxus with the calming agent. He had stopped the flow of fuel to his arm before he fell into unconsciousness.
* * *
"Let us hurry, there's no telling what could have happened by now." Alana said as she walked out of the Well with a laser rifle. Mark was right behind her as they ran out of the cave.
* * *
"They're all in stasis." Bond said as he placed the last stasis badge on.
"Yes, but the badges are only short term. We need to get moving." Rust-Up countered as he looked towards the Wildstar, he hoped Kynight was okay.
* * *
"The unit is very damaged...I don't have the parts I need here." Eolian said painfully as she examined Kynight.
"Once we returned to Paix, you'll fix it, right?" Raggletag asked, very worried.
"Yes, of course, but until then she mustn't speak." Eolian ordered. Kynight looked at Raggletag and openend the fuel link between them.
"Kynight says, she'll talk through me for now." Raggletag said, "Begin to wipe the Decepticons minds clean and we'll reprogram their ship, Twilight."
"Okay, but time is limited." Eolian answered as she gathered the equipment she needed.
* * *
"What happened???" Mark whispered to Alana as he took in all the Transformers laying about.
"Mark! Alana!" Quartz called as he waved them towards himself, "We could use your help."
"What happened?" Alana asked as she walked towards their friends. Quartz took a deep breath, "You were right, they came here to conquer this planet...Im sorry."
"Don't be...you didn't help them, you stopped them...thank you...what can we do to help?" Alana asked as she smiled at Quartz.
* * *
"I think that's it." Raggletag said as he detected the last entrance in the computer. 'Recheck...Personal logs?' Kynight thought as she began to feel guilty about the Sisterhod's ruling. Looking at her mate, Kynight opened the fuel link and let the secrets of the true nature of this adventure flow forth.
"What?" Raggletag yelled as he turned to his mate, "Slee? to what end? She wanted what?...mix with other species...undetected...but...profit...herstanding? Secret? A test? Kynight, why didn't..loyally to Paix? My reactions! So this was a test of loyalty to Paix and Slee's up to no good."
'I'm sorry...the Sisterhood will punish us and make you go back to Earth if we say anything...you must not say anything...I'm sorry, I should have said something earlier.' Kynight thought as Raggletag came up to her.
"Ah...I understand...besides, I know you'll get back at Slee eventually." Raggletag whispered as he engulfed Kynight in a bear hug.
'I love you.' Kynight thought.
"Yeah, well, the computer needs to re-program the computers, hopefully they'd be able to save the Trollcons.
***
"The short term stasis will be terminated shortly and we have three more to re-program." Rust-Up said with a frown.
"Turn the stasis badges off and inject some claming agent, then begin to load them onto the ship." Eolian said as she finished the repairs on Jhiaxus, and began to re-program him.
"This one's done too." Mark said as he and Alana moved onto the last decepticon.
* * *
"Done." Raggletag said as he turned to Kynight.
"Okay, while you finish up here I'll go help the others." Raggletag responed to Kynight's thoughts. Raggletag left the bridge and traveled down the hallway.
"Raggletag!" Rust-Up called as he and Bond carried one of Jhiaxus' troops aboard.
"Yo?" Raggletag responded as he allowed them to pass by, "How many do we have to load aboard yet?"
"About ten. Mark and Alana are reprogramming the last one, but we gotta hurry, time's running out." Rust-Up answered as he and Bond moved on to the bridge. Raggletag nodded as he moved to help the others.
"Damn it...he's too heavy!" Quartz cried as Eolian helped pull the warrior towards the ship.
"I'll get him." Raggletag said as he walked down off the ramp.
"Thanks Raggletag." Quartz said as he took hold of Rook and loaded him onto the ship.
* * *
"Kynight, where do you want him?" Bond asked as they brought the warrior in. Kynight paused as she glanced around, the reprogramming was done. Moving to one of the stations, Kynight pated the floor, not being able to talk really stunk.
"Ha ha ha." Bond snickered as Rust-Up smirked, Kynight not being able to talk was the best thing to happen in a long time. Eolian and Quartz followed closely behind with their cargo.
* * *
"Raggletag, the last one's re-programmed!" Alana cried as Mark closed up the warrior's casing.
"Good, thank you for your help." Raggletag said as he began to pull Jhiaxus up the ramp. HE WAS HEAVY.
"Whoa, let me help you, Raggletag." Rust-Up said as he and Bond stopped at the entrance of the ramp.
"Thanks." Raggletag responded as Rust-Up bent down and pulled Jhiaxus up the ramp. Quartz, Eolian, and Kynight appeared as Rust-Up and Raggletag began to carry Jhiaxus to the bride.
"Re-programming done...okay..."Raggletag said as a response to Kynight's thoguhts. The boarding continued until they put all the Decepticons on board.
"So how are you going to get them airborn?" Alana asked as everyone stood around the Twilight.
"No problem, everyone step back." Eolian ordered as she opened communication. The ship engines came on-line as everyone headed for cover. The ship kicked its engines and took off, heading for deep space and it's original destination.
"How can we thank you?" Mark asked as the ship disappeared from sight. Kyngiht glanced at Eolian, who returned the glance.
"You just did." Eolian sang out as she bent down, "I Just hope you will think of Paixens as your friends?"
"Of course, you are welcomed here anytime." Alana said as Raggletag gave Kynight a dirty look.
"Thank you, now it's time we depart for home." Eolian said as good-byes were said.
* * *
Jhaixus moaned as he picked himself off the floor of the bridge, what happened?
"Rook! Report!"Jhaixus stormed as he sat at his chair. "Im not sure, seems we had a problem going into warp." Rok reported as he called the ship computer's records up.
"What kind of problem?" Jhaixus asked he didnt' like surprises.
"Unknown, but we are nearing Cybertron, sir." Rook said as he turned on the main viewers.
"Begin to land. Liege Maximo is awaiting us." Jhaixus ordered, he had more important things to worry about right
* * *
"So was our mission successful?" Quartz asked as he warmed Wildstar's engines.
"Yes..." Raggletag said as he looked at Kynight, who was looking at the floor whith great interest.
"We are taking off." Eolian said as she stressed each word, she needed to get to her lab. Confused looks passed between Quartz, Bond, and Rust-Up as the ship entered space.
"Eolian, what about Kynight's vocal unit?" Raggletag asked as Kynight's thoughts reached him.
"I've called Fact to get ready and we'll fix it then." Eolian warned, "Prepare to jump." The crew buckled down as the ship began to jump.
"Jump complete." Bond called as everyone checked their systems.
"Paixen control tower, come in." Rust-Up radioed as Eolian sent a private scrambled message to the sisterhood.
"Paix here, Wildstar you have clearance to land on pad K-4." Sin radioed as she received the message that the mission was successful and had limited resistance.
* * *
"Landing achieved" Eolian said as everyone begna to disembark. Coming down off the ramp, Slee stepped forard.
"Raggletag..." Slee said with a smile as she grasped his hands. Raggletag blinked as Slee winked ad released him. With that the elder's council left the area.
"That was weird ...she's up to her old tricks." Quartz said as he looked at his friends.
"Kynight." Fact called as she waved her hand in greeting.
"Let's go." Eolian siad as she picked up two sample kits.
"Good luck." Quartz said as he, Bond, and Rust-Up quickly folowed the Elder's council...someone needed to spy on them. Raggletag quickly picked up the last kit as he and Kynight ran to keep pace with Eolian and Fact. Glancing at Kynight, Raggletag shook his head, Poliics, jeez.
"Okay! You were right!" Raggletag thoguth to his mate as she continued to smirk.
"Things will change now and you'll be a Lord of Paix, maybe one day even a king!" Kynight thought back.
"A King? Me?" Raggletag thought stunned.
"You're already kind of my pump." Kynight thought with all the feeling she could. Raggletag blushed as he looked at Kynight, returning the thoughts of love.
"Hello...what are you two up to?" Eolian asked as she and Fact stared at Kynight and Raggletag. Both blushed as Eolian and Fact laughted just as they reached Eolian's lab. Entering the lab, everyone stoped dead in their tracks.
"What are you doing in my lab?!?" Eolian yelled as she saw Primus sitting in her chair looking very at home.
"I heard about your little problem." Primus said as he got up and walked over to Kynight.
"I figure that if Unicron gave you the eye, then atleast I could give you the Siren. It's a jewel of songs, a vocal jewel." Opening his hand, Primus revealed a milky-white oval jewel. Looking at it, Kynight noticed the inside of the jewel moved, likeclouds moving across a bright blue sky. Reaching for the jewel, Kynight looked at Primus,
thinking thoughts of thanks and love.
"You're welcome." Primus said as he disappeared leaving the jewel behind in Kynight's hand.
"Do you think it'a a good idea?" Raggletag asked as he turned to Eolian, Primus was always up to mischief.
"Well, let me look at it." Eolian said as she took the jewel,"Seems ordinary to me, let's try it and see...no power, just very pretty." Raggletag took Kynight's hand as she laid down on Eolian's med bed. Fact brought the instuments to the med bed as Eolian tilted Kynight's vocal unit.
"Geez..." Eolian whispered she looked at Kynight's vocal unit. There was no way to fix it or no way she knew of, and she was good at what she did. Glancing at the jewel, Eolian hoped that the jewel would act like a normal vocal unit. Fact glanced at Raggletag as he stared at Kynight's crused vocal unit, the damage was unbelievable. Slowly Eolian began to repair what she could, which wasn't easy. After an astro-hour Eolian looked nervously at Fact and Raggletag, she'd done everything she could, now it was time to install the jewel. Placing the jewel directly in the middle of Kynight's vocal unit, it began to glow. Slowly the jewel melted into the shape of Kynight's vocal unit's area. Eolian sighed in relief. Closing the outer covering Eolian smiled at Raggletag as Fact put away the instruments.
"Kynight." Raggletag whispered as he brused her forehead. Kynight moaned as she began to wake, and looked around.
"I think it wokred." Kynight said as her hand went to her throat embarrassed.
"Well, well, if that isn't a bedroom voice I don't know what is!" Fact said laughing.
(Time passes and the results are in.)
Eolian watched as the liquid from the Well of Transformation began to solidify. "Interesting..very interesting." Eolian whispered as she smiled at the crystal pieces.
* * *
"That new voice of yours is so cool." Density chuckled as Kynight blushed slightly.
"Well, yeah." Kynight sighed as she leaned against a table as Eolian walked into the Sisterhood's Tower.
"Hey, Eolian! What the heck is this all about?!" Slee yelled from her seat.
"You'll find out soon enough! Everyone to your seats, please!" Eolian called out as she made her way to the center of the room.
"Okay, let's do this!" Kynight said as she got up and went to her seat. Sin joined Eolian and Kynight as eeryone took their seats.
"First, thanks for coming on such short notice. I have some wonderful news on our latest mission." Eolian said as she took center stage. "Give it to us, Eolian!" Density yelled.
"Tell us Eolian!" Slee cried as Kynight stood up calling for a bit of silence.
"Please...let Eolian explain." Kynight called as chuckled followed, everyone just getting used to her new voice.
"Enough! I want to hear this!" Sin yelled as she tapped her fingers against her desk. Everyone became quiet as a crossed Sin looked on.
"Thank you, now about the liquied from the Well of Transformation." Eolian began as Sky and Lark wheeled in two tables covered with an assortment of items.
"In this container is a liquid from the Well." Eolian said as she picked up a tube of liquid and showed it around the room.
"Now this is the liquid solidified into a crystal form." Eolian said as she howed off the crystans. Within a second the sisterhood broke out in loud voices. Kynight stared at the crystals as Eolian turned to her. Kynight got up and went ot Eolian's side as everyone became silent waiting to see what would happen next.
"Eolian." Kynight whispered as she picked up the crystal pieces.
"Yes, I know." Eolian responded as she reached for a box and opened it revelaing a Transformation chip made with the crystal from the Well in it.
"You've done it! Now we have total freedom to travel anywhere and make a huge profit!" Slee cried as she got up and moved towards Eolian and Kynight. Looking up Kynight questioned, "Profit? What have you done?"
"Well, Kynight dear, can you image with our technology what we could do? Trade with others, and being able to move around easy now that we have the chip." Sind stopped as Kynight began to shake with fury.
"How dare you!" Kynight screamed as her voice thundered twice as loud as before because of the Siren. The Siren caused an echoing effect as Slee backed up.
"You sent the ruling house of KY on a dangerous mission, for your profit!" Kynight was angry, but played it up until she was shaking. Without warning, Raggletag exploded into the Sisterhood.
"Whoa, easy sweet. Slee you better get out of here and keep a low profile for awhile." Raggletag said as he ran up to Kynight's side trying to keep her calm.
"This is the Sisterhood and I am respected here." Slee began as Sin got up and walked towards her.
"You...how dare you and the elders council put my family in danger...I ask for a removal from the Sisterhood for Slee!" Sin roared as she came toe to toe with Slee. Slee gasped as her jaw fell open.
"I second the motion." Steel called in support for her family. Lis and Mis looked worried as Eolian took a step forward.
"I agree, but suggest that this is a temprary removal. I also subject that the Elders Council share Slee's fate." Eolian said as Slee's optics quickly turned to Eolian.
"Agreed!" Lis and Mis quickly responded, hoping that the lesser sentence would not hurt their standing as much as a totoal removal would.
"Mmmm, yes the Elders Council should share her fate." Sin remarked as Quartz and Cole came through the doorway.
"We heard everything and agree with Eolian." Quartz said s he and Cole stopped on the Sisterhood's steps. "So be it...now get out of my sight." Kynight sneered as Slee began to shake.
"As my Lady commands." Slee whispered as she quickly took her leave with Lis and Mis following behind. Within a few astro-seconds the sisterhood was cleared out except for Raggletag, Kynight, Eolian, Steel, Sin, Quartz, and Cole.
"I can't believe the Elders Coucil..." Cole sighed.
"They needed to be taken down a peg or two." Eolian said as Steel nodded.
"Ha ha ha..." Kynight began to laugh as Raggletag began to chuckle. In a second the others joined in.
"oh, jeez, Quartz we better get over to the Governments Tower and let them know what's happened." Cole said with amusement in his voice.
"Okay, Let's go. Later." Quartz said with a wink as he and Cole left the Sisterhood.
"Think they expect anything?" Steel asked as she looked at her family.
"Ha...never in a million years!" Sin said as she began to gather Eolian's things together.
"I cant' believe I let you talk me into this." Raggletag chuckled as a very normal Kynight lent back.
"Oh, I always knew that there was a great actor in you, besides just think waht the Elders Council would do with the new chip?" Kynight said as Eolian sniffed.
"Ha, they wouldn't care how much the damn thing hurt! They'd make us use it anyhow! Steel said a bit angry."How is Fact and Nex doing?" Raggletag asked as everyone began to relax.
"They're in some pain yet...who would have guessed the new Transformation chip would cause so much pain? Their physical forms have a little damage yet..jeez, one minute they're normal the the next, fuel everywhere and the screams!! Metal folding in or crushed! Oh, the screams were the worst!" Eolian said with grief as she began to shake with the memory. Sin rushed to her daughter and comforted her.
"But I still don't understand why we had to do it this way?" Raggletag asked as he turned to his mate, he tried many tiems to get some answers.
"Can you imagine how this failure would effect our standings and loss we would suffer? Kynight stated as she loked around the room.
"True...Slee wouldn't hesitate to blame us and save her own standing." Eolian sighed as Raggletag flinched.
"She'd blame me, wouldn't she?" Raggletag asked as he looked a bit worried.
"Probability. Slee nodded a lesson anyhow." Sin said as she patted Raggletag's shoulder.
"So, our agenda simply changed?" Steel asked as Eolian nodded.
