Hello, everyone. DragonMatrixgong here. Welcome to the first official chapter of Dustformers. I hope people like this fiction. This story is taking place during their freshman year of high school. I've been trying to get the right formula for a long time now, and I think I've finally found it. Now, transform and roll out!
I don't own RWBY of Transformers except for my OCs.
War...An organized and often prolonged conflict that is carried out by states or non-state actors. An ideal, generally characterized by extreme violence, social collapse, and economic disruption. Or control over something so seemingly simple, such as our very own lifeblood... Energon. On the distant planet Cybertron, it's surface has been painted with the spilled Energon of the two factions of sentient machines called Cybertronians, or by their name known throughout the universe: The Transformers. The Autobots, sworn defenders of justice and freedom were warring with the Decepticons, the warriors of tyranny. Unfortunately, the seemingly endless war drained the planet's resources and losses were felt on both sides. After millennia of seemingly endless conflict, the Autobots were forced to evacuate, only to be attacked by the Decepticons. The age-old war has reached another planet. This planet's fate will hang in the balance...
*Remnant. 4 Million Years Later*
It was a nice, sunny day in Vale. Beacon Academy was entering a new year. Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang were really excited. They had been good friends for a long time, even with their friendships starting off rocky. Now they were going to the best school in Vale together. Needless to say that the four were feeling really proud of themselves right now as they were standing at the large, front doors of Beacon Academy.
"I can't believe we're finally here." Ruby said in excitement.
"Me neither, sis." Yang agreed.
"We've come a long way to get here." Blake added.
"Not to mention all the hard work we've all put in." Weiss said, adding in her two cents.
"Even me, Weiss?" Ruby asked.
Weiss smiled at her friend. "Yes, you dolt. Even you." She said.
"Aww. You've really warmed up since when we first met, Ice Queen." Yang playfully remarked.
"Quiet, you." Weiss instantly retorted.
"Can we just get to class already." Blake suggested, not wanting the conversation to get awkward.
"Good idea." Ruby agreed.
The four friends then walked inside for the first time. They were in awe as the inside of the school was much bigger than what the outside showed. Nothing really happened during the classes as it was the first day of school. Time went by normally however as Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang were enjoying themselves. Then, lunchtime came around. Ruby had brought a pack of cookies along with a burger while Yang had brought only a thermos of noodles. Blake had brought tuna sandwiches, and Weiss had cheesecake. While they were eating, their friends: Jaune, Nora, Pyrrha, and Ren walked up and joined them at their table.
"Hey, guys." Jaune greeted.
"Hey, vomit boy." Yang greeted back.
Hearing that made Jaune groan. “Are you ever gonna let that go?” Yang merely smirked at her fellow blonde.
"How are you all today?" Pyrrha asked.
"We're good, Pyrrha." Ruby replied.
The eight friends sat with each other and chatted it up. They all talked about how happy they were to be at Beacon Academy together as freshmen. Nora immediately went into another of her crazy
dream stories, resulting in her childhood friend Ren rolling his eyes and correcting her at every single sentence. Jaune on the other hand, was reading a local newspaper while Pyrrha was just talking with the others. Blake took out a book and started reading, but was still in the conversation, Yang was just joking around, Weiss was being a little formal, and Ruby was daydreaming a little bit.
“So, what do we got for classes today?” Nora asked, bored.
“I don’t know.” Yang shrugged.
“Of course you wouldn’t.” Weiss said. “Besides, it’s only our first day. It’s not like we’ll have homework today.”
“That’s true.” Blake said, not taking her eyes off her book.
“What do you think, Ruby?” Yang asked. “Ruby?” Ruby was daydreaming as usual. She didn’t mean to do it. It was just what she did whenever she was thinking about specific personal topics.
“RUBY!” Yang shouted, jolting her younger sister out of her trance.
“W-What?” Ruby asked, a little confused.
“You were daydreaming again, weren’t you?” Yang teased.
“I was not!” Ruby refuted.
“Sure you weren’t.” Yang grinned.
Ruby's face flushed slightly and she pulled her hood over her head. Yang snickered at the sight. She then set her eyes on her fellow blonde. "So, what's up with you?" She asked.
"Well, my birthday's tomorrow." Jaune replied, causing the group's eyes to widen.
"Really?!" Ruby and Nora asked excitedly.
Jaune merely nodded. "Yes, and my family's planning a special surprise for it."
"Ooohhh. Do tell, vomit boy." Yang grin widened a little.
"If I knew, it wouldn't be much of a surprise." Jaune retorted.
The rest of the day went by completely mundane and the eight were walking in the woods for a bit, chatting before they had to go to their respectful homes. As they were walking, they were simply listening to the end of Nora's dream stories. "And that's how I became queen of the galaxy!"
"Wait, wait. How did you gain the stone of power?" Yang asked intrigued.
"Please don't encourage her..." Weiss groaned.
"Well, I..." Ren covered Nora's mouth as he didn't want her to ramble on, resulting in the group giggling and laughing. While this was going on, Pyrrha noticed a dim glow a short distance away from them. "He, guys! Look over there!" She partially shouted pointing to the glow.
The others looked in the direction Pyrrha was pointing and saw the glow themselves. "What is that?" Blake asked.
"Why don't we find out?" Nora asked, grinning. Suddenly, she started running towards the glow, pulling Ren along for the ride. The others except Weiss shrugged and ran after their friend. This was kind of the norm for Nora. Once they reached the source of the glow, they were surprised. Looking at the glow's source, they saw it was merely a small object that looked like it was made of metal and it looked like a face or symbol.
"What is this thing?" Ren asked no one in particular.
"Where did it come from?" Weiss asked, a little afraid.
"Why is it here?" Blake added.
"I want to touch it." Nora said slowly reaching for the object when Ren grabbed her hand.
"Well, what should we do with it?" Ruby asked.
"I think we should leave it here." Weiss voiced.
"Come on, what if it's something really cool?" Yang tried to reason.
"Why don't I touch the thing?" Jaune suggested as he started walking closer to the object. "Be careful." Pyrrha said quietly. When Jaune got close enough with the others walking slowly behind him, he knelt down and picked it up. The others moved closer to look at it more clearly. Suddenly, the object started glowing brighter in a blue light, making the group cover their eyes. At the same time, the object seemed to send out a signal.
*Arc Residence*
In the garage of the Arc Residence, a faint blue light started glowing. "Someone's found it... That means I can finally found my friends." A voice said quietly.
*Vale Woods.*
In a deep part of the forest where very little sunlight shone down on the forest floor, a white, yellow, and blue striped robot also received the strange signal. It's optics flashed a bright red. "So... the enemy is indeed on this planet. Finally, I will revive my comrades and destroy the Autobots." It said darkly. It then transformed into a 1985 Firebird Trans Am and drove off.
Meanwhile with the group, the strange object stopped glowing, allowing them to see. "What was that?" Ren asked.
"Whatever it is, it seems to have stopped." Blake replied.
"So, who's gonna take it with them?" Yang asked.
They all thought about Yang's question until Jaune said "I'll take it."
"Alright, Jaune. Just remember to hide it from your folks." Ren reminded.
"Of course I will." Jaune said. With that, the eight went to their homes. Little did they know how much their lives would change forever.
*Arc Residence*
Jaune woke up groggily. He wasn't really a morning person, but he adjusted himself for the better. He quietly made his way down the stairs so as not to wake anyone. However, when he got to the kitchen, the lights were suddenly switched on. He turned around to see his family standing there with wide smiles on their faces. "SURPRISE!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!" They shouted happily. Jaune almost burst into tears at seeing this as well as rolling his eyes with a smile. His family always had a penchant for theatrics.
"Thank you, everyone." Jaune smiled.
"No problem, bro-bro." One of his sisters: Violet said nonchalantly.
"It's not even the least we could do." His sister Saphron added.
"We've got a surprise for you in the garage, son. Come with me." His father: John gestured. He and Jaune walked to the garage where the blonde saw a medium-sized shape under a tarp. When John removed the tarp, Jaune's eyes widened as it was a car: A yellow and black-striped Chevrolet Suzuki Ignis. The reason Jaune was really happy was because he'd recently got his driver's licensee.
"I'm proud of you, son. Now, you finally have a car of your own." John smiled.
Jaune went and immediately hugged his old man. "Thanks, Dad." Suddenly, his scroll started beeping. Checking it, he saw it was a text from Nora. "Jauney! Happy birthday! We're at the mall! Want to hang out today?"
Jaune typed a reply on his scroll. "I'd love to. In fact, I have a surprise for you when I get there."
"Your friends?" John asked.
"Yeah. I'll be out for the day." Jaune responded.
"Well, have fun today." John kept his smile.
"Thanks." Jaune smiled back. He then hopped into his new car. The feeling was exhilarating. It had a nice little interior. However, he saw that the center of the steering wheel had a symbol. In fact, it was the same symbol as the strange object found yesterday. Jaune checked his pockets and found the object. Good, he hadn't forgotten it. He then put the keys in the ignition and drove off.
*Vale Grand Center Mall*
Nora and the others were at the mall waiting for Jaune to show up. Yang and Ruby showed up in Yang's car with Weiss and Blake while Nora, Pyrrha, and Ren walked there as it was a bright and sunny day. Not a cloud in the sky.
"I wonder when Jaune will get here." Yang pondered.
Suddenly, the group of seven heard a honk. Looking to the source, they saw a Suzuki Ignis. Looking a little closer, they saw Jaune waving at them He found a parking spot, hopped out and walked over to his friends. "Well, guys? What do you think of my surprise?"
"Jaune, I have to say: Your new ride is sweet." Yang admitted.
"You have a car finally!" Nora cheered.
"I have to say, Arc: Not bad." Weiss complimented.
"I like the colors." Ruby smiled.
"A nice choice of car, Jaune." Blake voiced.
They went inside to hang out. They went shopping for a bit, then sat down and got a bite to eat. When they did that, they all realized they wanted to continue discussing the strange object they found. "So, Jaune, did you figure out what the object is or does?" Ren asked.
"Unfortunately, no. I was actually trying to figure that out last night." Jaune answered.
"Aw, that sucks." Nora pouted.
"I know." Jaune agreed. "I really want to figure out what this thing is."
Soon, the group left the mall with Jaune, Pyrrha, Nora, and Ren getting into Jaune's new car while Ruby, Weiss, and Blake joined Yang in her car. However, just as they were leaving, a white, yellow, and blue-striped Firebird Trans Am started speeding towards them. The Suzuki Ignis suddenly started speeding out of the parking lot with Yang in tow.
"Jaune! Please take your foot off the gas!" Pyrrha exclaimed.
"Believe it or not, it's not me driving!" Jaune shouted back. The Suzuki Ignis suddenly turned down another road to try and lose the pursuer. All of a sudden, a Neutron Assault Rifle popped out of the Firebird Trans Am and started firing.
"The other car is shooting at us!" Nora screamed.
A sharp ping was heard as the pursuer actually landed a shot. The four didn't know it yet, but the shot wasn't a weapon ever seen on Remnant before. Jaune's car suddenly turned again, heading for the forest. Meanwhile, Yang was driving and trying to keep up. "What's going on?!" Ruby asked.
"That's what we'd like to find out." Blake replied.
Back with Jaune's car, it seemed to be driving itself and heading for the forest with the pursuing car close behind. Yang was finally able to get past the pursuing car and catching up to Jaune's. Rolling down their windows, Yang wanted to figure things out, so she shouted to Pyrrha. "What the hell's going on?!" They suddenly reached a large clearing in the middle of the forest. Suddenly, the Suzuki stopped and allowed the four to hop out, but remained close to the clearing. Yang was about to stop by the Suzuki, but saw the four a little further away and drove to them instead. Once Yang stopped beside the four, the other four hopped out.
"Okay, Jaune. What is going on?" Weiss asked.
Before Jaune could answer, the Suzuki began changing forms, transforming into a giant robot with blue eyes seconds before the Firebird Trans Am appeared and stopped in front of the new robot. "So I was correct. You are here, Bumblebee." The Firebird spoke before transforming itself.
"Honestly, I didn't expect you to find me here, Crossvolt." Bumblebee retorted.
"Well, I have. Now you die, Autobot!" Crossvolt shouted as he fired a missile at Bumblebee, who dodged easily to the side and it hit a couple of trees, breaking them in seconds like paper. Luckily, the group were out of the way of that shot. In retaliation, Bumblebee picked up one of the broken trees and swung it at Crossvolt who backflipped out of the way. Suddenly, Crossvolt ran up to Bumblebee and roundhouse kicked him in the side, sending him to the ground. "You honestly think you can fight me?" Crossvolt taunted.
Bumblebee said nothing to his opponent and instead retracted his hands, deploying his stingers, blasting electricity at the latter. With the group, Ruby was staring intently at Bumblebee's stingers thinking they were cool. Crossvolt, despite getting hit with the electricity, didn't really feel it. "Was that actually supposed to hurt me?" He continued taunting. This caused Bumblebee to retract his left stinger back into a hand and ran at Crossvolt, aiming to punch him. However, Crossvolt had energy flow from a small box on his back directly to his hands. Once Bumblebee was in range, Crossvolt fired lightning from his fingertips, electrocuting the Autobot and sending him crashing down near the group who were still in shock at witnessing the fight, but now they were growing concerned for Bumblebee. "Wow, I never knew you to be so slow."
Suddenly, Bumblebee's right hand converted into an energy blaster and shot Crossvolt in one of his energy flow tubes, suddenly shocking him and sending him stumbling him back a bit. Seeing the opportunity, Bumblebee got up and performed an uppercut on him, then punched him in the face, knocking him down. "Who's slow now?" Bumblebee finally taunted back.
"We'll meet again, bug. Transform!" Crossvolt converted back into his vehicle mode and drove off, leaving Bumblebee and the group. Noticing the group of eight standing just outside the clearing, he walked over to them and knelt down. "Hey, are you all alright?"
"Who are you?" Jaune asked, shocked.
To be continued...
I hope you all liked this chapter of this tale. The eight have gotten involved in the Transformers war, albeit involuntarily. They've witnessed Bumblebee fight the Decepticon OC of mine: Crossvolt. Yes, this story won't just have characters we know and love, OCs are welcomed. If anyone has any ideas for this story, please let me know in the comments.
