Deep in the desert a tumbleweed blew past a stop sign that stood in front of a plateu. Two cars and a motorcycle drove past it towards the plateu, it opened a door revealing a tunnel. The Autobots entered their base and let their human friends out before transforming into their biped modes. "Let me guess. It's Saturday..." a white and red orange mech said sarcasticly. "Yeah Doc Bot, which means we get to spend the weekend with you," the only female of the three humans said. "Oh joy, " he said again. "Cheer up Ratchet. You already know their gonna spend half of the time playing video games and hanging with us," the blue and pink femme known as Arcee said. A lound sounding alarm went off and all bots surrounded the groundbridge tunnel. Ratchet fired it up, it glitched. He hit the controls and it worked again.

Once the groundbridge properly fired up all the Autobots, including Ratchet, went through. Why he went through he had no idea, but Optimus insisted. They entered a cave, without any energon. "Optimus... there's no energon here," Arcee said looking up at the red and blue mech. "Wait if there's no energon then..." a big olive green mech, Bulkhead trailed off, looking around at the cave. A drilling sound reached there audio receptors, along with a growly sounding voice. They recognized it almost immediatly. 'Megatron,' Optimus thought activating his battle mask. "Approach with extreme caution," he said quietly while activating is blasters along with the rest of his team.

"Mine quicker! We need this relic now!" a large gray and purple mech shouted at his purple drones. "My leige we are mining as fast as we can," one said, only to recive a blow that sent him into the caves wall. The drone gunted and slowly got to his peds, grabbing his helm. "Well mine faster! The Autobots could be here now!" Megatron yelled. Blaster fire filled the cave and they all stopped what they were doing. "Hm. Optimus never dissapoints, keep mining we want that relic," Megatron growled. He unseathed his sword and walked towards the entrance of the cave.

Team Prime were destroying the guards outside one of the side caves. Through the dust they saw a large figure move toward them. It was no dout Megatron, and he was moving towards them slowly. "Optimus. So glad you could join us, although it will be the last time we ever meet," he growled, attacking the last of the prime. Optimus blocked it with his blaster, turning his free servo into a blade. He slashed at the warlords side. The rest of his team was busy with the drones that seemed to appear at the warlords side. Megatron kneed Optimus in his face plating. He grunted and stumbled backwards. 'This will end now' the sick minded warlord thought as he stabbed the prime in his side, the prime shot the warlord in the abdomen sending him flying backwards and his sword to snap in half.

Ratchet was finishing up with a drone when he saw Optimus get injured. "Optimus! Theres too many! We need to fall back!" Arcee yelled to the injured prime. He was holding his side and looked at the small femme. "Autobots! Fall back!" he yelled. "Raf! We need a bridge!" Bulkhead yelled tapping his com. Optimus fell to his knees. Bumblebee ran over to him and tried to help the bigger mech to his peds, even if it was a little difficult. Their ground bridge opened and the Autobots scout and leader went through while the rest of Team Prime held the Decepticons off. Before the scout and prime entered the portal turned sky blue and dragged the bots in. They landed in a snowy forest.

When they came too they saw the trees and snow, not the rocky cave they were in a few second ago. Optimus grumbled in pain as his side still hurt from his wounded side. He heard his team gasp behind him and looked around. They were no longer Cybertronian. They looked like deer, but with feathery wings and tails. What they were was a mystery onto itself. Bumblebee was still yellow and black as were his wings and tail his feathers tipped with blue. ":What happened and what are we?:" he grunted and snorted instead of his usual beeps and whirs. His antlers and hoofs were black and their tips were yellow.
  
   Arcee was still blue and pink but without and antlers and her hooves were gray. Her wings and tail were blue and tipped with pink. "I don't know what we are but we need to get back. Now," she said lifting her small ears. "Cee ain't wrong," Bulkhead said moving his ears in whatever direction they could.
  
   He was olive green with black antlers and hooves. His wings, the same color as his body with black tips. "Optimus I don't know anything about the medicine here!" The medic growled looking at the pool of light blue blood the stained the snow where his injury was.
 
    Ratchet was his basic white with red orange design and gray hooves. His antlers were the same way tipped with the same red orange color as his patterns were.
  
   Optimus was mainly red but the fur around his hooves was blue along with his head and back of neck. His face was grey, as were his hooves. His wings and tail were red tipped with blue and grey. His antlers were larger than the rest of his team and were black tipped with both red and blue.

   Little did they know of the amber colored peryton watching them. After realizing one of them was injured she moved in closer and snapped a twig. The small peryton froze and looked up at the males staring at her. They all had their heads down ready to attack. "Wait no stop!" She said falling onto back as Bumblebee charged. He stopped in front of her, holding his head down, she looked at him and he did the same. "So... you gonna let me up now or..." she trailed off as the large male backed off. She got up and walked towards the injured male, sniffing his face. She noticed that they were all staring at her, even Optimus looked at her.

   "Amberhoof! Back away from him!" a gruff male ordered. "But dad this one is injured!" Amberhoof called out to the strange male who stepped out of the trees. He was about Bulkheads size but with large antlers like Optimus. With birch white fur and black markings. His wings and tail had almost the same markings and his eyes were a piercing ice blue color that could scare even Megatron. His hooves and antlers were black and tipped with white. He stared at Optimus for a moment before lifting his head. "Fine we will bring them back to our clan camp," he finally said before turning in the direction they came from.

   Optimus slowly stood with the help of the yellow and black male and the white and red orange male. "Camps this way," Amberhoof said nodding her head in the direction her father went the Autobots followed her, their progress slow due to Optimus's injury. "So important question but... what are we exactly, deer?" Arcee asked trotting up next to Amberhoof. "No. Welcome to the world of perytons," the amber colored femme said.
