Phoenix was amazed at what Rattrap and Dinobot could do. The could completely change the way they looked. Rattrap was now a metal mouse, with cream, brown, and red armor and green eyes. He also could change his legs into wheels! Rattrap was interesting but Dinobot...he was...beautiful. She thout that he had looked good before but now...Phoenix shook her head she did not want to fall in love...at least not now. Dinobot looked like a dragon standing on two legs. He had small arms in front of him, a powerful tail, a slightly pointed snout, strong legs with long talons on them. Dinobot had stripes all over his body, dark brown stripes on light brown skin. "Brown is one of my favorite colors..." Phoenix found herself thinking as the three of them made their way out of the mountains and towards the maximal base.

The other maximals were cleaning up the base they wanted it to look good for someone (or something) new.....That and the work kept them from worrying or wondering about who 'she' was.

Cheetor had polished every monitor in the base at least four times. Optimus checked those same monitors ever two mintues to see if Rattrap and Dinobot were back yet. Sliverbolt, Tigertron, and Airrazor were cleaning all the floors in the base. Rhinox checked all the lights, door, elevadors, and anything else that could possilbly need tending. And, as usual, Depthcharge was nowhere to be found (you never seem to be able to find him when this stuff needs to be done).

After the base the entire base had been cleaned nearly there times straight (which was in a way a good thing...due to the many battles the place had become a little dirty) all of the maximals sat and waited in the command center. Optimus was in front of the computer monitoring the screen for a sign of anything. All the others looked over his shoulder and sat in perfect silence.

The mountains were now behind Phoenix and her new 'friends'. the now were entering a a canyon. She could hear a waterfall....no maybe it was two or more. Rattrap was scooting along next to her (he had become tired of walking and was now rolling along on his wheels) and Dinobot walked not far behind her. His eyes were glued to her....she didn't think it was out of affection though. Dinobot looked at her with mistrust.

"Yo?! You there sweetheart?" Rattrap asked. Rattrap had shattered Phoenix's train of thought...again. "Oh I was just thinking that's all" she said and smiled showing off her snow white fangs. "Ah you don't need to worry about anything we...at least most of us (he looked in Dinobot's direction) are good guys. So like quit thinking so hard about it 'kay." Rattrap said smiling at her. "Man this dame is hot...I can't wait to see what she looks like in robot mode." Rattrap thought gleefully to himself. "Well there it is home sweet home!"

Waspinator was flying through the mountains after just getting out of the cr tank. His orders were to find out why Terrorsaur and Inferno had not reported or returned.

Waspinator had spent the whole trip grumbling about how he hated being order around, and how he knew that Megatron knew that they were mostly scrapped by the maximals which meant poor Waspinator would have to haul them all the way back to base. Waspinator sighed and looked up at the moon. "Why universe hate Waspinator?"
