This chapter takes places 12 long years in the future. I'll be adding a few G1 characters in this story along with my own TF OC's.

I do not own G.I. Joe or Transformers, they rightfully belong to Hasbro.

Chapter 5

G.I. Joe Meets Optimus Prime

14 long years had passed since Kicker was sent to the G.I. Joe dimension and was found by Storm Shadow who trained him as his apprentice code named Shadow Tiger. 2 years later when he was 7 yrs old was Storm Shadow visited by Primus who freed him from Cobra Commander’s control. He then instructed Storm Shadow to tell Shadow Tiger about his past, then escape from Cobra base to G.I. HQ there he would reveal himself to General Hawk, Duke, and Snake Eyes.

A few months later was Cobra Commander visited by ‘The Fallen’ one of the 13 original transformers created by Primus who betrayed him by siding with Unicron the dark god/planet eater for power.

Also Shadow Tiger along with Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow and the other Joe members were visited by Vector Prime the keeper of time and space who warned them of Cobra’s new ally. He gave Shadow Tiger four mini-con guardians named Starshooter, Fire Lighting, Sundestroyer, and Moonracer. Two weeks later did he returned with four autobot inventors to help them, their names were: Wheeljack, Ratchet, Perceptor, and Brainstorm.

Over the years did Shadow Tiger become a true noble ninja warrior from his training by his newly adopted father Storm Shadow along with his new uncle Snake Eyes; he was also trained by Sgt. Slaughter and Beachhead. Also a few of G.I. Joe members also helped trained Shadow Tiger in using non-ninja weaponry along with piloting several vehicles when he was a bit older.

Also Vector Prime brought three guardians for Shadow Tiger that were autobot warriors named Sunstreaker, Sideswipe and Jazz. (G1 colors and both alt. forms are 2010 Lamborghini Murcielagos LP 670-4 SV.)

(Jazz's alt form will be a 2007 Pontiac Solstice GXP with G1 colors and G1 robotic form) He also brought another Headmaster named Chromedome who was a computer programmer, a scientist named Skyfire. His alt. form was a Cybertronian car that somewhat resembled a modified Lamborghini Silhouette. His headmaster partner was named Stylor. Skyfire took the form of the Lockheed AC-130 gunship. (Skyfire - G1 colors with blue visor)

Plus Wheeljack, Perceptor, Brainstorm, Ratchet along with Chromedome and Skyfire's help built five new autobots that were dubbed the Dinobots: Grimlock, Slag, Sludge, Snarl and Swoop. They were very powerful fighters since their alt forms were dinosaurs, Grimlock was a mechanical Tyrannosaurus Rex, Slag an mechanical Triceratops, Sludge an mechanical Brontosaurus, Snarl an mechanical Stegosarus, and Swoop an mechanical Pteradon.

The dinobots along with Sideswipe and Sunstreaker all became great friends with the G.I. Joe team specially Shadow Tiger and the mini-cons. Grimlock along with Slag, Snarl, Sludge and Swoop liked how Storm Shadow, Shadow Tiger, and Snake Eyes fought with swords. They asked Wheejack, Perceptor, and Skyfire to make them swords to fight with, which they did and were trained by Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes of using their new weapons. Also they were able to produce a lot of new weaponry for the G.I. Joe team to fight against Cobra along with upgrading their current vehicles that now ran on energon fuel and were made of cybertronian alloy metal combined with earth's metal alloys.

Plus Wheeljack, Perceptor, Skyfire, Brainstorm and Chromedome helped designed and built several transporters that could carry the autobots and dinobots to anyplace around the world. Along with creating special body armor for the ground troops.

G.I. Joe Base - Shadow Tiger's Room (Present Day)

A loud explosion shook the whole base before settling down. "Looks like another Wheeljack explosion incident. When will that baka ever learn?" thought the 19 brown hair/brown eyed teenager who opened his eyes from his mid afternoon meditation and put on his ninja outfit that resembled Storm Shadow's only it was white/black with a hood hiding his face except his eyes and no arm selves along with slipping on his katana and Ninjato swords sheaths before heading out to see Wheeljack along with the other autobots and his mini-con guardians. On his 18th birthday did Shadow Tiger aka Kicker Arashikage gotten a tattoo of the Arashikage symbol on his right top shoulder along the G.I. Joe symbol above the autobot symbol on his left top shoulder.

(Kicker/Shadow Tiger's ninja outfit resembles Storm Shadow's COBRA uniform from the Sigma 6 cartoon only different colors)

But before going there he would have a light healthy breakfast made by Roadblock himself. "I wonder what Roadblock is making for breakfast today? Along with what kind of punishment Ratchet will give Wheeljack?" thought Shadow Tiger as he headed towards the mess hall/lounge area.

G.I. Joe Base - Autobot Sector - Ratchet's Med bay

Autobot Medic officer Ratchet nick named 'Ratchet The Hatchet' by Sunstreaker and his twin brother Sideswipe, he was currently ranting and raving at the 'mad' scientist/inventor Wheeljack for blowing off his right arm, left leg and damaging his torso area.

"Frag it Wheeljack the next time you do something like this again, I'll turn you into a motorcycle or better yet a toaster!" yelled Ratchet as he finished reattaching Wheeljack's left leg as her waved a large wrench in front of Wheeljack's face who slowly nodded. "But knowing him it will happen again. Why did I ever get stuck with him?" thought Ratchet as he started reattaching Wheeljack's right arm before moving onto his chest area.

G.I. Joe Base - Autobot Sector - Chromedome and Brainstorm's Work Shop

Chromedome and Brainstorm had been upgrading G.I. Joe's weapons that would be a lot more powerful than they were currently before. They even designed more powerful computers that were far more advanced than the ones currently built by earth technology.

Ocean City - Alexis Harper's House

12 painful long years had passed for Alexis, Optimus Prime, and Sally Jones now legally named Sally Harper. She was now a teenager who was kinda happy that someone was taking care of her while feeling depressed that both her parents were dead along with her possible older brother sent who knows where.

"I wonder if I'll ever see my older brother again if he is still alive? What could he be doing right now where ever he is at?" thought Sally as she looked out the window and stared at the ocean life since the city was still underwater before it would rise up. She usually spent her time racing with the mini-con Grindor which usually gotten both into trouble with Hot Shot, Optimus Prime and her adopted mother Alexis.

Cybertron - Optimus Prime's Office

Optimus Prime sighed as his yellow optics stared at the photo of Dr. Brian Jones standing next to his wife Miranda, Kicker and Sally Jones. "Someday I will find you Kicker and reunite you with your sister Sally." thought Optimus Prime as he put the photo down before going back to finishing out paper work.

Suddenly a warp gate appeared in front of his desk startling Optimus who was taken off guard. "What in the name of Primus is going on? Is this a decepticon trick?" thought Optimus as he pulled out a plasma gun out of his sub space and held it steady as he saw the unknown transformer step out of the portal and turned around facing him.

"Hello Optimus Prime. I am Vector Prime the keeper and guardian of time and space. I've been told by Primus himself to take you to where Kicker is at." said Vector Prime as he awaited Optimus Prime's reaction which was yelling out "WHAT!?" as he fainted.

"Perhaps I shouldn't of mentioned Kicker, I mean Shadow Tiger's name." thought Vector Prime as he opened a warp gate that sent him and Optimus to the G.I. Joe base.

G.I. Joe Base - General Hawk's Office

General Hawk was in his office smiling at the photo of Shadow Tiger who was blowing out the candles on his 12th birthday cake. Shadow Tiger was like a grandson to him and was thankful to have him along with Storm Shadow back with G.I. Joe after being brainwashed by Cobra. "I wonder if his real parents are still alive in his home dimension?" thought General Hawk as he was brought out of his thought as he heard his phone ringing and picked up the phone. He answered it and was told by Cover Girl that Vector Prime was back this time with the autobot supreme commander Optimus Prime who was at the moment at Ratchet's med bay.

General Hawk told Cover Girl that he would be there immediately, he then hung up the phone and put the photo down as he headed out of his office to the Autobot sector of the base.

G.I. Joe Base - Autobot Sector - Ratchet's Med Bay

Optimus Prime was still offline/unconscious from meeting Vector Prime and was unaware that he was in another dimension. "What a weird dream I had, it was about an ancient looking transformer who called himself Vector Prime the keeper and guardian of time and space who was told by Primus himself to take me to where Kicker was sent to. I really need to get more hours of recharge, I'll have to talk to Red Alert since Wheeljack and Ratchet disappeared with out a trace." thought Optimus Prime as he onlined his yellow optics and saw that he wasn't in his office at all nor in the medical bay of Red Alert.

"What the slag?! Where am I? And How did I get here? Why do I get a feeling that wasn't a dream at all?" thought Optimus Prime as he got up from the berth and was about to place his feet on the ground when he heard someone yell out "Touch the floor and you'll be regretting it!" said Ratchet as he came into view wielding a VERY large wrench.

Optimus Prime's optics bugled out and exclaimed "RATCHET!? But how?! You can't be him, he disappeared 12 years ago. More importantly where have you along with the others been for the last 12 years and where are we exactly?"

Ratchet had a nervous twitch in his optics as he raised his head smiling evilly. "Oh slag!" thought Optimus Prime as he saw Ratchet throw the wrench that he had in his hands and threw it at him, knocking him out cold.

30 minutes Later......

Optimus was waking up and touched his head as he felt a large dent and instantly remembered everything that had happened before blacking out. "But I still don't know where I'm at? Or if this is another dimension?" grumbled Optimus Prime as he looked around his surroundings again. Suddenly a huge door opened as several humans and autobots that were missing in his dimension along with one he had never seen before entered the room, one of the humans had the autobot symbol on his left shoulder and had a uniform that looked like another humans only they were different colors. Not only that but there were four mini-cons one of them was a femme.

"Who is that human and why does he bare the autobot symbol? Not only that what why do I get a funny feeling that I have met him before?" thought Optimus Prime as he saw one of the humans wearing multiple medals and four stars on his shoulder walked up to him.

"Greetings. I am General Hawk leader of G.I. Joe, I presume you are Optimus Prime leader of the Autobots." said General Hawk as Optimus Prime stood there in stunned silence and shock before replying his answer.

"WHAT!? How do you know my name and rank General Hawk sir? And is this another dimension?" asked Optimus Prime as he tried to remain as calm as he could but really wasn't calm at all in fact he was mentally disturbed.

"I know your rank Optimus Prime sir because of Vector Prime along with Ratchet, Wheeljack, Skyfire, the headmasters: Brainstorm and Chromedome, Perceptor, Sunstreaker Sideswipe and Jazz. Also for your 2nd question, yes this is indeed another dimension where your friend Dr. Brian Jones son Kicker was found by Storm Shadow one of our agents who was captured and brainwashed by our main enemy Cobra. A very ruthless terrorist organization." replied General Hawk as he awaited for Optimus Prime to let the information he just told him to sink in.

Optimus Prime was even more dumbfounded and luckily for him had a face mask as his jaw dropped to what he heard. "WHAT!? You mean to tell me that Dr. Brian Jones own son Kicker was found by this 'Storm Shadow' who was brainwashed by a terrorist organization called Cobra. Okay then what happened after Storm Shadow found Kicker?" said Optimus in a panic and worried tone of voice.

"He brought Kicker to see the Leader of Cobra known as Cobra Commander who was informed of Kicker being from another dimension and had asked him to train him as his ninja apprentice code named Shadow Tiger. We didn't know any of this for 2 years when supposedly Storm Shadow was visited by Primus the creator of your kind freed him from the brainwashing and told him to take Shadow Tiger to our Headquarters which they did and were very lucky to escape. After they landed did we put them inside a jail cell until myself along with my 2nd in command code named Duke and Storm Shadow's clan brother Snake Eyes were visited by Primus himself who told us to trust Storm Shadow and Shadow Tiger. A few months later did we received a visit by Vector Prime who told us that Cobra had a new ally known as 'The Fallen' one of the original 13 transformers created by Primus until he sided with Unicron." said Gen. Hawk

"Very interesting General Hawk please continue." said Optimus Prime.

"Anyways 'The Fallen' would help Cobra get revenge against Storm Shadow and Shadow Tiger along with telling them about Shadow Tiger's powers given to him by Primus. Vector Prime told us that 'The Fallen' intended to give Cobra cybertronian technology and weaponry, he told us he would bring inventors to help us combat against Cobra's weaponry. Plus he gave Shadow Tiger four mini-con guardians named Starshooter, Fire Lighting, Sundestroyer and Moonracer. Over the years did more autobots joined our ranks such as Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, Jazz, Chromedome, Skyfire, along with five autobots built from scratch known as the dinobots who are probably the toughest fighters we have. I'll let them introduce themselves." said General Hawk as the dinobots walked up to Optimus Prime and introduced themselves.

"Me Grimlock, me leader of dinobots and strongest of all dinobots too." said Grimlock as he pointed his right hand at himself.

"Me Slag."

"Me Sludge."

"Me Snarl."

"Me Swoop."

Optimus Prime was awestruck as he stared at the five dinobots and thought to himself "Unbelievable, five autobots built from scratch and have dinosaur forms. What else could happen?"

Suddenly alarms went off and immediately the Joes along with the autobots including Optimus Prime scrambled outside to see what happening.

"RED ALERT! I REPEAT RED ALERT! COBRA FORCES ARE ATTACKING NEW YORK CITY! SCRAMBLE ALL UNITS AT ONCE!" said Dial Tone through the intercom speakers.

"All right Joes this is it, this is we have been waiting for 12 long years let's move out." said General Hawk as the members of G.I. Joe and the autobots scrambled outside while shouting out "YO-JOE!!!!!!"

"YO-JOE? Must be there battle cry. Very interesting, well I'd better help them out in case they need it." thought Optimus Prime as he followed the Joes and autobots to the transporters.

Downtown New York City

Over the years Cobra had redesigned all their weaponry, vehicles, body armor, etc. They had several decepticons joining their ranks which included: Soundwave with his cassettes: *Alt form is his G1 cassette tape form. G1 colors* (Rumble, Frenzy, Ravage, Laserbeak, Buzzsaw, Overkill, Ratbat, Slugfest, Squawktalk, Beastbox), Astrotrain: triple changer Bullet train/shuttle/robot. (Classics form and colors), The Battlechargers: Runabout and Runamuck (G1 colors. and vehicle modes).

The battle chargers were having 'fun' destroying buildings with their friends the Dreadnoks: Buzzer, Monkey Wrench, Burn Out, Torch, Ripper, Machete, Road Pig, Zarana, Zartan, Zandar, Thrasher along with HISS tanks, Cobra Rattlers, Night Ravens, and B.A.T.S (Sigma 6 version but more powerful). Plus there were several SAW-Vipers, Laser-Vipers, Cobra troopers, and Cobra Alley Vipers.

Rumble and Frenzy were having a blast destroying downtown until they felt the earth shaken.

"Hey Frenzy is that you causing the shaking?" said Rumble.

"Slag no. I thought it was you doing it ya fragger." replied Frenzy as both cassettes are wondering what's causing the shaking if they're not doing it.

They soon get there answered when they first see the dinobots charging towards them.

"Ah slag! Run for it!" they both shout as they both high tail it out of there before they're stomped on and crushed.

The battle between the G.I. JOE and Cobra long with their allies soon gotten underway as the battle lasted for four long hours before the 'snakes' and decepticons retreated. But before several of their troops laid dead on the ground or had surrendered.

G.I. Joe Base - Autobot Sector

Optimus Prime was impressed with how the members of G.I. Joe and the autobots fought against Cobra including the dinobots. What really impressed him was Shadow Tiger, Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes fighting against several Cobra Alley Vipers and Cobra troopers. They were a very good team and wondered how Shadow Tiger/Kicker would react when he learns that his mother his dead and his sister is still alive.

"Not only that but how will I explain this to Alexis and the earth's government in my native dimension? Primus, why did I have to get stuck with this MANY problems?" thought Optimus as he looked down and wondered how to break the news to Kicker now called Shadow Tiger, plus found out that he's been adopted by Storm Shadow as his legal son.
