As the spectral dragon known as Future Solranous teleported the himself, Myrr, Solranous, Thanatos, Shive, and Lora to the junkyard, another presence was making itself known. In the dark of the night, a large winged abberation was busy searching through one of the junkpiles.
"Where the hell is it?"
One of its clawed hands pushed away another large section of rubble, and stopped. It gave a lipless smirk as its eyes began to glow, the pile suddenly shredding apart. A few seconds later, what the alien was looking for had been revealed. It appeared to be a large metal hand protruding from the ground, but barely. His eyes glowed again as the ground around it splintered and disintergrated.
"Decpticon Shockwave." It muttered to itself, arms crossing.
In the crater lay a large, 20-foot tall robot of sorts. It had a featureless face, save for a single green eye. It was mainly purple and gray, and it's left hand was a cannon. The alien smirked as it hovered into the air, wings spread. He aimed a hand at the robot's chest as green particles of energy began to gather into the palm.
"I need that spark." He hissed.
However, something unexpected happened...
The robot's eye slowly lit up, then stayed at a bright green. The alien stopped, then growled. He fired off a blast of green energy from the hand towards the machine dubbed as 'Shockwave', or so he had said. However, the robot's chest panels opened, and the energy began to filter into a circular panel which was glowing green in the middle.
The alien growled in displeasure as the machine stood up, staring emotionlessly at the alien.
"All systems online. Memory recall initiating. Processing." It stated in a monotone voice.
The alien let out a furious scream as he charged the robot, which was now glancing from side to side. Before the alien could impact, however, the robot had aimed its cannon at it and fired a wide blast of green energy, blowing the alien completely out of the junkyard.
"Weapon systems active." It stated again.
*****
Shive's ears perked up, and he turned to the others, asking,
"Did you guys hear something?"

Solranous and Future Solranous both perked up at Shive's question, if there was some one here, it may be a problem... And they indeed heard something.
"I'm not sure of what it is... Perhaps we should check on who, or what, it is." Future Solranous replied.
"Well... there is always the chance that its some huge creature that can overpower all of us except Thanatos." Myrr cautioned.
"By working together, no foe can bring us down for good. That's why we're all in this group... of course there's the somewhat loose cannon that is Thanatos. He may decide to go off on his own, of course there is nothing wrong with that, it is his decision after all..." Solranous answered Myrr's statement.

"I will only go off when necessary, which I must insist be soon. You are welcome to join me, but I must reconvene with my beloved." Thanatos thought. Maybe telling them about her was a mistake, but it had been so long since he'd trusted anyone. Besides, the dragon was telepathic anyways. "I'll take you there when we're done."

A mechanical groan sounded through the area as the purple robot walked out from behind a junk pile and stopped, looking at them directly.
"Organisms detected." It stated.
It's eye flashed for a moment, then turned directly towards them.
"Identify yourselves." It demanded flatly.

"Thanatos, Dragaer warlord." Thanatos replied equally flatly. What did it matter if this machine knew his name? It would probably be destroyed anyways. 'Try anything and I'll put a rail through your eye."

The machine tilted its head towards Thanatos, and muttered,
"Highly unlikely, and illogical. Your attempt at my termination would only result in your own demise."
It turned towards the others, making a 'hurry up' motion with its only hand.
"Identify yourselves." It repeated.

"I will not identify myself, for the conditions of my presence here are too... illogical and unlikely for a robot such as yourself to understand." Future Solranous stated, crossing his arms. "And do not underestimate Thanatos, he may be smaller, but from personal experience, I know he can deal much damage to you."
"Well, since the ghost won't 'identify himself' as the robot is asking, we might as well do so. I am Solranous. However, I have no title like Thanatos does, nor do I need one." Solranous said, answering the robots question.
"I am Myrr, daughter to Solranous, and I have travelled back in time to this point for a reason I will not state in your presence." Myrr continued, stretching her neck out to pop it before returning her sights on the machine.
(OOC: One question, is it painful to the eyes to read Future Solranous' words when I bold them? I can change it if that is true.)

((No, it's fine))
It merely gave them that emotionless stare before Shive piped up,
"Um... Shive. Just Shive."
"And, uh... I'm Lora Ravenloft." Lora stated, rubbing the back of her head.
The machine crouched down slightly, then replied,
"Acceptable. I am identified as Shockwave, 2nd in command to the Decepticon leader Megatron."
It stood back up, and demanded,
"Identify the time, and planet we are currently residing on."

"November 4th, 2007, is the date. The planet is known as Earth, the third planet in the Sol System of the Milky Way galaxy." Future Solranous replied. the robot seemed trust worthy, but he was still cautious. He would warn the others through telepathy the instant the robot showed any signs of hostility.
"What he said." Current Solranous muttered unnoticably, a tiny bit stunned his future self could recite that off the top of his head.
(OOC: Ok, just making sure. Plus, I could have sworn Shockwave was going to question how Future Solranous worded his response...)

If the robot's eye could have widened, it would have done so at the word 'Earth'. It glanced around, its fist clenching.
"I have yet to fufill my previous orders, then." It stated flatly.
It glanced up into the air, processing the information it had just received.
If so much time HAS passed, then it would seem those wretched Dinobots have been terminated through natural means. Then, that means... It thought, then abruptly stopped.
"It seems I have no orders to carry out. I assume Megatron himself has been terminated as well, and I have no way of contacting Cybertron to find out if he has, or if I have new orders." It stated, glancing at the ground.
Shockwave then glanced at the others, and asked,
"Do you know of any beings on this planet who have interstellar communications? I am in desperate need of contacting my planet."

Future Solranous made a quick note of Cybertron and immediately extended his telepathy through the spirirt realm. This world did have some communications of the sort, but when he found out just where Cybertron was, he grimaced.
"No, not of the distance you require. 'Cybertron' is far to distant for this planet's communications systems to reach for another fifty years, and by then, it would be as slow as a snail, too slow to prove useful. And to leave this part of the planet to research better communications would be very unwise. The inhabitants of this planet don't take kindly to a twenty foot Decepticon showing up for any reason." the spectral dragon replied in answer to Shockwave's question. He had not heard of Cybertron before, but he had many ways to gain information now, and he used them as much as he could.

Shockwave's eye dropped to the ground.
"I see... it seems I will have to attempt to build my own then. But I will require parts." He stated, glancing around.
He glanced back at the others, then stated,
"If you have any orders for me to fulfill, look for me in the desert outside of this colony."
With that, he turned around, and took off into the air. Shive stood there open-mouthed, blinking. He was about to say something, when he suddenly felt something tugging at his mind. He blinked, and glanced around.
The lake... go to the lake in the mountains... A voice stated.
Shive seemed shocked for a few moments, then turned to the others, saying,
"Uh... I gotta go."
He then sped off towards the mountains, his face troubled.
