Voltron/Transformers Crossover

Reawakened

Sorry for the long wait. School has been keeping me busy and I am counting down the days till I graduate. Super anxious! So here is the next long awaited part! Enjoy! 

"Sit down, Ironhide. I'm almost done." Ratchet pulled Ironhide back so he could finish repairs, ignoring Ironhide's groan.

"Optimus is still in stasis, though. Why don't you go fix him?" Ironhide pointed toward his leader, standing still as a statue. Keith could tell what Ironhide was thinking; Optimus was in a worse state than he was. There was also a powerful friendship between the two, between all of them and Optimus.

"Why don't you be more careful so that you don't bleed to death?" Ratchet retorted, sighing tiredly. Keith sat down on the grass, fidgeting with the wires. When he whipped the wires against the grass, the wire continued in a short wave pattern before flopping back onto the field.

"Don't mess with those. You might electrocute yourself." Ratchet cautioned, still facing Ironhide. A few moments went by, Keith spending those moments relaxing, a thing that was rare when being a paladin of Voltron. Especially being one that just met up with 5 robots from outer space.

"Done! Just relax a bit." Ratchet said as he stood, grabbing a wire and following it to wear Prime was standing.

"Will it work?" Bumblebee asked, running up beside Ratchet. His head tilted to the side again, the same curious -dog- look from earlier.

"With a few fixes to the wire connections, yes, I believe it should." Ratchet stood back from Optimus, silently praying to Primus that this plan would work. He double and triple checked the wires.

"Okay. We're good. Everybody step back! Turn it on, Pidge!"

A slithering current of electricity flew up the wires so fast that all the color in the world flashed white. Rays of pure luminescence reached into the ground and into the heavens, like outstretched arms. Hands were raised in front of eyes and optics to shield them from the light. Once the light died down, the Autobots and the paladins looked back toward Prime.

His eyes were still dark.

"Prime?" Ironhide asked. The optics flickered blue to gray, gray to blue before they finally stuck blue. Optimus' head slowly rose, alive and awake. The red and blue bot looked from side to side, scanning his surroundings.

"Where are we? What-" Bumblebee ran toward his leader, radio quotes and music cut together to explain everything, wildly excited mixed with concern. Keith could only catch tidbits of what Bumblebee was saying to Prime, words here and there standing out.

"Arus? I've never heard of this planet. Is it sort of like Earth?" Optimus asked Bumblebee.

Bumblebee nodded ecstatically, before pointing at the humans. "These are my friends; Keith, Hunk, Pidge, Allura, and Lance." The paladins stepped forward, cautious at first but the vibe that surrounded Optimus was one of great confidence, yet was calm and comforting. The caution lessened, until it seemed to dissipate into thin air.

"My name is Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots." Optimus introduced himself, stepping away from the board. His footsteps made echoing noises, metal clashing against each other, before he stepped down to the ground in front of the platform. The ground shook again, a minny vibration similar to the one the paladins had felt when Bumblebee was running to them.

"Optimus, glad you're back finally." Ironhide greeted.

"Good to see you too, Ironhide. Bumblebee updated me about your condition." Ironhide looked down at the ground. "I would like to hear what happened."

Ironhide sighed, as he looked around at the others. The pilots, and the other Autobots all stared at him waiting for an answer. Ratchet stayed silent with his arms crossed while Bumblebee quietly beeped encouragingly.

"Fine, I'll tell you. But you're not gonna like it."

"I suggest that we find a safer place to tell stories. Probably back at home where we have backup incase we have an emergency. We weren't planning on it...but I think it will work." Allura turned back to her comms to update Coran on the newcomers.

The rest f0llowed Allura, with the Autobots trailing behind, back toward the kingdom.

Optimus' voice came over the intercom as he drove."You can tell us now, Ironhide."

Ironhide started at the beginning; his pod door being ripped open by Megatron, learning that Megatron and the weird purple fish king were teaming up, getting shot by Megatron, his eventual escape, and finally meeting up with Jazz.

"So Megatron is teaming up with another villain, presumably from this planet." Optimus hummed in thought.

"Sounds lIke trouble...to me." Bumblebee chimed in.

"Yes, Zarkon is dangerous and he searches to rule the universe. Is Megadroid the same way?" Keith asked, trying to gain as much information as possible. Two enemy teams gathering together with the same motivations was not good. In fact, this could turn deadly for all of them really fast.

"Yes. Megatron also seeks to rule everything, like he has tried to do with our home planet, Cybertron and our second home planet, Earth. Thankfully he has failed...so far."

"If he comes here, I'll turn him to scrap metal. I need payback, Prime." Ironhide growled.

"Not so fast Ironhide." Optimus responded.

"Yeah chill out man!" Jazz said.

"You lost a lot of Energon from the blast you took." Ratchet continued. "You'll need more rest. Even this driving is a-"

"Oh, give me a break! I'm fine, Ratchet. What I am worried about is the fact that Zarkon and Megatron are becoming best buds."

"It's gonna be okay-gentlemen. We just need to keep our heads up-and our-egos low." Bumblebee comforted, racing ahead 0f the rest. "Plus we have-good- friends that can help us!"

"I can get with that!" Hunk cheered, driving his lion to do an exaggerated back flip in mid air. His lion tilted its head and roared loudly, causing birds to flee from the trees squawking with an almighty fear.

"I like this team! Y'all are cool! Also, can I try driving one of those cat things? They look rocking!" Jazz called. The paladins laughed at the bot, ultimately forgetting their troubles, but never forgetting to not let their guard down.
