"Cheetor and Chatalia are in trouble, we'll have to go help them!" Optimus said to the other Maximals.

"But who's gonna stay and watch dah base?" asked Rattrap.

"Well, since you so nicely offered, you can stay and guard the base" said Optimus.

"What! Not me, I meant someone else!" protested Rattrap.

Dinobot smirked.

"You shut up Chumper-Face!" threatened Rattrap.

"You gonna make me, vermin!" snarled Dinobot.

"You're slagin' right I am!" Rattrap shot back.

"Dinobot! Forget Rattrap for now and let's go!" Optimus said impatiently.

The Maximals left leaving Rattrap alone by himself.

"Oh, this is gonna be fun!" Rattrap said sarcastically to himself, "Great! Now I'm talking to myself!"

Cheetor wakes up. "Where am I?" he looks around. He finds himself in some kind of tropical paradise. "How'd I get here? Where ever here is. The last thing I remember is getting hit by that beam of energy, then disappearing…" Cheetor started to walk around when he noticed something different about himself. He looked down at his paws and saw that they were no longer green transmetal paws, but cheetah paws, like the ones of his old beast mode. "By the Matrix!" he gasped. "Cheetor, MAXIMIZE!" nothing happened.

"Don't bother trying to transform, I've tried it already and it doesn't work"

Cheetor looked in the direction the voice came from and saw Chatalia.

"What happened to you?" she asked.

"I'm not sure. But somehow I got changed back into my old beast form"

"Okay, this is starting to get freaky. Where do you think we are?"

"I don't know. But it reminds me of the 'Flying Island'. Well actually, I never saw it, Tigatron just told me about it, and this place matches the description" said Cheetor.

"Whose Tigatron?" asked Chatalia.

"He was a good friend of mine… but he's gone now along with Airazor, another friend" Cheetor put his head down suddenly feeling sadness for his friends.

"Oh, I'm sorry" Chatalia put her panther paw on Cheetor's back, trying to make him feel better. "Hey, why don't we try to find a way out of here?" she said trying to change the subject.

Cheetor forgot his sadness, "Alright. But if it's a flying island, then how do we get off it. I can't fly anymore"

"I don't think it's an island. I think we're inside the pyramid," said Chatalia.

"But how can we be inside when we're outside?" asked Cheetor confused.

"It could be an illusion"

"You could be right. So, which way do you think is the way out of here?"

"I don't know, how about that way?" Chatalia pointed in a certain direction.

"Sure, why not? What do we have to lose?"

The two cats walked off in the direction Chatalia had pointed out before.

"Tarantulas to Megatron" Tarantulas said over his comlink.

~ "Megatron here. What did you find?" ~

"It appears to be a pyramid"

~ "Did you have any Maximal trouble?" ~

"Yes, we did. But they disappeared"

~ "Disappeared? What do you mean disappeared?" ~

"Well, the pyramid shot a beam of energy at them and they disappeared"

~ "This is good, yesss. So who were these unlucky Maximals?" ~

"The cheetah and another one that I never saw before, probably the new Maximal"

~ "Only two? Oh well, I guess it's better than nothing" ~

"So, what do you want us to do now?"

~ "I want you to stay where you are and wait for me. And, I don't want you touching that pyramid or you'll become the newest addition to my trophy wall. Is that clear Tarantulas?" ~

"Crystal"

~ "Good. Megatron out" ~

Tarantulas turned off his comlink.

"Incoming Maximals!" warned Inferno.

"The felines must have called for reinforcements!" said Tarantulas.

"No matter. They all shall BURN!!!" yelled Inferno.

"Predacons up ahead!" said Optimus.

"Yeah, but where's Chatalia and Cheetor?" asked Silverbolt.

"I don't know, but I think their absence has to do with that pyramid" said Optimus.

Optimus and Silverbolt were flying with Rhinox and Dinobot trying to keep up on the ground.

"Finally we get a good fight!" said Dinobot, "Dinobot, MAXIMIZE!"

"Rhinox, MAXIMIZE!"

"Optimus Primal, MAXIMIZE!"

"Silverbolt, MAXIMIZE!"

The fight had begun.

"You know, this place is kinda nice. It's really beautiful here" said Chatalia.

"Yeah, no fighting, no Optimus telling you what to do, no Rattrap teasing you all the time…"

Chatalia cut Cheetor off "…no having to put up with Dinobot's attitude"

"Yep, it's definitely nice here" agreed Cheetor.

"This may sound crazy, but why don't we just stay here? It's not like anyone is gonna miss us" said Chatalia.

"Well, they might start to miss us after a while… well, everyone except Dinobot" said Cheetor.

"I doubt he even misses his own mother! In fact, I don't think she misses him either!"

Cheetor laughed, and Chatalia joined in the laughter. They continued to make fun of all the Maximals and Predacons.

Meanwhile, the fight outside continued on. Megatron, Rampage, Quickstrike, and Blackarachnia had also joined in. A lot of the fight was being fought in the air while the ones who could not fly were fighting from the ground.

Dinobot was trying to shot Waspinator with his eye-beams.

"Ha ha! Lizard-bot can't get Wazzpinator!" Waspinator laughed.

This just managed to anger Dinobot more. Finally he got Waspinator who started to crash to the ground, head first.

"Hey traitor, why don't you take on somebody who might be more of a challenge!" yelled Quickstrike who was with Rampage.

"Gladly!" snarled Dinobot. He started to fight both Rampage and Quickstrike at the same time.

Waspinator just got his head out of the ground. He stood up dizzily, "Why doezz Wazzpinator have starz floating around head?" He fell backwards, knocking himself unconscious.

Megatron, seeing this sighed, "It's so hard to find good help these days"

"You're the one whose gonna be needing help soon!" shouted Optimus as he shot his missiles at Megatron. The missiles did not do much damage, but they were enough to make Megatron mad.

"Primal!" hissed Megatron, "You'll pay for that, yesss!" with that, he started to fire his own weapons at Optimus.

"This is hopeless! They outnumber us two-to-one!" said Silverbolt who was fighting with both Jetstorm and Inferno.

"We have to keep fighting! They already have two friends of ours!" said Optimus.

"For once Primal, you are wrong. It was not us who took your friends, but the aliens," said Megatron, "just like your other two friends"

Optimus usually did not get that angry, but now, he was furious. He fired at Megatron with all he had.

The fight continued on like this.
