Through the city, people stared at the roadway as they took a good glance of two teenagers riding a motorcycle at a very high speed in the direction of the palace gates. The boys enthusiastically cheered and whooped as Arcee drove them over the streets like a bunch of delinquent rodeos. So far, both boys enjoyed the ride, yet Jack just hoped he doesn't get taken down by police before they get to the palace, which eventually they don't. He looked around and saw the largest building of them all. A gleaming castle seemingly made out of what looked like the cleanest pieces of marble that Jack has ever seen in his life. Large statues of Teoran knights in armor carrying spears and axes line up in a row nearby.

Jack signals to Geo,

"Is that the castle?"

Geo nods, and Jack steers the wheel to the entrance. Just as he enters through the large golden gates at the borderline wall, Jack hears a familiar noise. It was a siren. An ambulance siren. He turns to see an orange-and-white ambulance with it's orange sirens turned on, followed by a heavily armored blue-and-red military grade truck, a blue and silver semi-truck, a blue McLaren MP4-12C Sports Car with white and yellow stripes down the center, and a black Chevrolet Camaro with twin central yellow stripes. Upon arriving, the ambulance drove up next to the two boys on the bike and began to talk while driving down the garden paths.

"Jack, who might this fellow rider be?"

Geo stared at the ambulance with a silent expression, while Jack answered.

"This is Geo. He's quite literally the only other human on this planet, other than me."

Geo awkwardly waved to the ambulance.

"Greetings, Geo. Interesting name even for a human..."

"Geo, this is Ratchet. He's the Autobot medic."

Arcee interrupted,

"And the best one we've ever had so far."

Ratchet chuckled at the compliment. Just then, they reached the giant doors of the castle. In front stood the Queen in her formal outfit with the gold edges that she's worn previously. Next to her were the rest of the "Treehouse Gang" whom Jack had met.

As soon as they arrived, Geo got off the bike and went over to greet the others. Jack took off his helmet, making sure his visors stayed on, and walked over to the Queen, as Arcee transformed into her normal form as a 15 foot tall robot. Gwain looked at Jack with a somewhat polite yet unpleasant face.

"You managed to follow my orders, human."

"Yes ma'am."

"And you brought your friends over to talk, just as I asked."

She looked up at Arcee with disdain. Arcee managed to keep a polite smile, but Jack knew she wanted to give her a snappy one-liner on the inside. Gwain asked,

"Cybertronians... that's what you call yourselves...?"

"Yes. And my name's Arcee, your highness. And I've been Jack's autobot partner for quite some time now."

"Arcee..."

She turns to Ratchet the ambulance.

"Is this your leader?"

Ratchet transforms to his normal humanoid form, slightly catching the queen off-guard. He looked down at her with a polite look of denial.

"No, your highness. I am simply an autobot doctor and a combat field medic."

"Name?"

"Ratchet."

"Well then, who are the rest of you lot?"
