Where To Next?

Urata and Traxxis arrived but truth be told, he had absoutely No idea where they would even start looking once they got there. The hope was that Traxxis would know where to maybe start or have contacts because he was completely out of the loop. Noreal was a interesting place and he would have liked to explore more under a more casual terms(many of the women being very attractive was a bonus) but sadly that wasn't it for now. The big question would be of where they would even begin to start, but getting there shouldn't too difficult given what they did earlier.

They were on the far outskirts from the city so Traxxis wouldn't stick out as much. The forest seemed nice almost felt like something watching them. "So how are we going to handle this?" He asked Traxxis. "Probably not a good idea to walk around in your natural form and your train form is impractical at the moment."

Traxxis was silent for a moment, before he starts walking out of the forest and onto one of the roads "We need to get into a city. There, I have some contacts and they can point us to the right path we need to be taking." he says as he stops and suddenly transforms into a Truck and Trailer and a small door on the trailer opens and a small stair case lowers "Climb in. This will be our mobile base while we are on Noreal." he says.

Since Urata had never stepped foot on Noreal, he was going to let Traxxis do the driving while pretending he was the one doing it. He had never actually even drove a truck before to be honest so this was new even if it wasn't the same thing. "I'll follow your lead then. You know this place a lot better then I do. Besides almost felt like something that wasn't a person was watching me in the forsest, felt kind of creepy."

"That is not necessary." Traxxis says as a hologram of a person appears "Besides, the windows are darn enough that no ome can see in." he points out as they start rolling "It is very likely that something not Humanoid was watching us. This Is, after all, a forest." he points out "Once we get to the city, I shall get in communication with my contact and they will spread the word to my network of contacts to find the Celestial Knight." he explains "In the mean time, I suggest you look up everything you can about the Celestial Knights on Noreal. Maybe we can get an early lead."

"My phone doesn't exactly work here." Urata pointed out. "And I don't have anything on to really look anything up. I would have to maybe find a public library or something and look up things on the net there maybe. Books too maybe."

"If you would have gone in the trailer like I had wanted, and not the cab, you would have found a command center similar to the one in my train form, where you would have found that I had already tapped into this planets internet infrastructure and you could have found anything you were looking for." Traxxis explains as he rolls to a stop "Can I assume that you will be changing locations?" he asks as he opens his cab door as well as the side door on the trailer, lowering the stairs again.

Urata wondered how was able to have a whole command center thing already. He got transforming to different things but that boggled his mind. So he decided not to think too much about it. "Yeah. I'm gonna change." He would go into the trailer and go from there, although he wasn't sure how long it would take or how well known the Celestial Knights were. They might just be minor information or something more notable when he began diving into things.

He was able to find information of Celestial Knights easy enough, they were apparently were well known because of something called the Hollow Host and those related to them including their leader. There was also some interesting legends of things before the Terdis Tree was sealed which was long before the time of the Hollow Host. Where they had to beat some incredibly powerful beings that life force acted like a anchor to this world before they could seal that world away. That was around last time on record at least of beating uber beings completely under their own power; after that a lot of power, skills and techniques have been lost due to not needing them anymore. Which was ironic because it wasn't until many generators later Rasmerus and friends showed up.

It was really interesting and he wasn't on a time schedule he would of gotten side tracked to delve more into it. So instead he tried to see if they had record of the current Celestial Knight, but he couldn't find anything. Either they weren't here, or they kept it to themselves. "Seems Celestial Knights are actually pretty famous here, probably not telling you anything you don't know. I can't seem to find anything about a current one. Maybe they keep it close to their chest. Vanguard probably know who the current is, since they're this world's version of the Hunters."

Traxxis slows to a stop as he reached the city limits "That is unfortunate. I had hoped we could reach these Celestial Knights quickly and get back to Autumn and Katsura before something they cannot handle happens." he says.

They start rolling again "I will contact my resources that I have on Noreal and see what we can find out about this Vanguard and how to hack their systems, because while they Are online, it is a very secured line and cannot be hacked from the outside, even by one of my kind." he explains.

After about an hour of rolling around, they come to a stop "We are at the meeting spot. Do you wish to get out and stretch your legs?" he asks as the trailers side door opens and the ramp extends.

"Yeah, might as well.." Urata was kinda let down as well it wasn't faster but if they were lucky like they had been before they get might get a lucky break. It was really hard to say how long exactly this was going to take.

After Urata gets out, Traxxis transforms into his robot form, stretching His legs as well, then he sits down "And now we wait..." he says.

After about a half hour, a very Stylish Car comes rolling up to tye two of them and Traxxis stands "Silverstreak, it is good to see you again." he says as the car transforms into a large, sleek robot.

Silverstreak bows slightly "Of course, Traxxis Prime." he says "When a Prime calls, you answer. How can I help you?" he asks.

Traxxis seemed a little uncomfortable about something "I assume you are aware of whom the Vanguard are. We need to gain access to their computer infrastructure. We are looking for someone known as a Celestial Knight." he explains.

Silverstreak nods "Indeed, I have heard of the Vanguard. Their headquarters is something akin to a fortress and getting in will require planning, but for us, it can be done." he says, confidently "We just need to be careful about how we go about it." he says he finally looks down to Urata "And who is this little Human? A friend?" he asks.

Traxxis nods "Yes. Something of that nature. His name is Urata Yachi." he says, keeping the introductions brief.

Silverstreak nods to him "It is a pleasure to meet you, Urata." he says as he transforms back into his vehicle form "Follow me. I shall lead you to our base. There we can wait until we can figure out how to infiltrate the Vanguard headquarters." he tells them as Traxxis transforms and opens his door for Urata.

Urata was understandably nervous about the whole 'infiltrate Vangaurd HQ' part him not only being a earthling but a Hunter that wasn't a good look for relations. But that was only if they got caught, hopefully not. "We'll, from my brief digging there isn't just one HQ even if there is a main one. Maybe good idea to see about the local one here since its smaller?" He suggested. "But depends how important the information being secret is it might be at the main one."

Then another thought came to him. Maybe the straight forward way was worth a shot? Sure he was a newb but he was still a Celestial Knight and that seemed to carry a lot of weight so it might not hurt to ask and see if they be willing to. "Or..maybe we could do it the straight forward way. Go to the local one and see how much pull it has?" He suggested to Traxxis to see what he thought of it or potential problems with it. They could lie and say they been here for a bit, there had been plenty of Hunters on and off since things have been going.

Silverstreak looks over to Urata "I mean, if you want to take all the fun out of things, we can." he says with a shrug.

Traxxis nods "If it will get us what we need faster and with less hassle, I am all for just going up and asking." he says as he looks over to Urata "However, I believe we will get a more favorable reaction if it were you who does the asking." he points out.

Urata was relieved at that, hopefully it went well as he really didn't want to potentially cause a incident so he was more then fine with doing things the safer way. "All right, I'll call you when I'm done. The local Vangaurd HQ isn't far from here."

Which luckily for the group was the case, he trusted the two to be fine until he returned. The actual building didn't stand out as much but once inside it was different. The front entrance looked very nice and fancy looking. At the desk was a young woman talking on what seemed to be a wireless head set and two guards which he assumed were Vanguard members since they were the only thing that made sense.

"Yes. I understand and I'll look into it when I can, thank you for your time." They then turned to Urata and smiled. "Hello there! What can I do for you today? If you're trying to apply I would recommend trying to arrange a meeting not just turning a application so they know your face." They had a bubbly tone to them.

Urata shook his head but showed his Hunter badge. "No thank you. My name is Urata Yachi and I'm actually with the Hunters on business, related to the Celestial Knights. It's important so would I be able to who is in charge of this branch or who ever currently is in charge."

There was a pause, the woman still seemed bubbly but more serious. "One moment then please." She went back to the computer typing something down quickly then tapped something on her head set. "Sorry to bother you but I something of importance needs your attention. A young man from the Hunters said they had something to talk to you about related to Celestial Knights. Urata Yachi was his name. Yes I'll send them in now. Thank you."

She closed the call looking at them. "You're free to go. One of the personnel will escort you there."

Urata thanked them as he was led deeper into the building until they reached what seemed to be a office of some kind. Waiting for them was a young woman that definitely seemed like a fighter of some kind. More the battle hardened kind that had seen and been through a lot. Though to be fair it wasn't like the people in charge of Hunter branches couldn't fight even if they did mostly behind the desk work.

"Mister Urata Yachi was it? My name is Elara Arthion, a pleasure to meet you." She said shaking his hand before motioning towards a seat. "I'm temporary in charge of this branch since our normal Coordinator is currently recovering from a Veilwalker attack."

"Veilwalker?" Urata had no idea what that was and they waved it off.

"It's not important, just some nasty native creature. Now.." She focused more clearly on them. "More importantly this Celestial Knight business?"

"Right.." He then decided was best to be truthful and give them a run down of what happened and showing him his watch and coin. "And that's why if possible we need to find the Celestial Knight here, just in case it ends up effecting this world. Could you help us? I could transform if you need further proof but I really rather not just in case."

There was a long pause as she got up. "You know, I had been hoping for bit of a breather but seems this going to be busy period. Let me see.." She went to drawer which was organized. "How they manage to navigate this I have no clue. And here we are. Now that's not it. That's a bit too much."

She then got a went to computer typing something down a bit before pulling out a phone and having a brief conversation with someone and hanging up. Then something was printed out she end up giving to Urata. "This is a file of the person you're looking for, just scrubbed down so nothing too personal or classified is there. We try to keep tabs of anyone or anything notably or potentially powerful for obvious reasons. I also made contact so you aren't just a complete surprise. That's about all. I won't keep you waiting, I have a job to do and so do you. Good luck out there."

Urata left after that, going to contact Traxxis via his watch so they could continue. Their place was on the other side of town after all.

"That was more efficient than I had thought." Silverstreak says as they roll out.

"We will have to try and convince this Celestial Knight to join us in the fight against the Negative Knights some how." Traxxis says "Though we Can be certain that as we approach, their transformation coin will alert them to our presents." he says to Urata "And while I doubt that they will want to fight, it is a possibility that we must be ready for." he cautions.

"If they want to fight, they will find that Cybertronians are no pushovers." Silverstreak says, sounding confident.

"It is likely, my young friend, that it is you who will learn not to underestimate a Celestial Knight." Traxxis fires back. Having actually Seen what a full Celestial Knight is capable of, Traxxis knew what they were driving towards and Unlike Urata, Autumn, and Katsura, this person was a Fully trained Celestial Knight, from what he was able to gather from Noreal's information on them.

Urata didn't think they would want to fight, Elara already gave them a heads up and unless they were unstable they shouldn't just randomly attack them. Only way that should happen if someone triggered them somehow.

When they arrived he said one last thing. "I'm going to talk to them and see if I could also get them to meet you Traxxis since you know more." It would been convient if he had a humanoid form he could occassionally turn into but they had to work with what they had.

Urata went to knock on the door and waited. A few moments later a young man opened the door. "Going by the timing, you're the person Elara gave me a heads up on, that and my watch going nuts."

Urata nodded a bit. "Yeah that's me. My name is Urata Yachi and wanted to talk to about Celestial Knight business, but I have a friend that can explain better then I can. They're real form is a giant robot and they can transform in different vechiles. Just a heads up so its not a surprise."

"Huh. That's different." They commented casually thinking. Somehow not phased by the news. "I'm guessing you want me to come with to a better location to talk?"

"Yeah, hope that isn't a issue?" Urata asked. "Just its better then catching attention we potentially don't need."

"Nah, its fine." They closed the door behind them. "If Elara says you're legit, then I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt for now. Besides I get the feeling you're all right, not sure why. My name is Marcell Corbette. Nice to meet ya. Lead the way and I'll hear you guys out at least."

When the two her out there, there was a Truck and Tralier wit a rather Fancy Car waiting for them to return. The car's doors open when the two get close "Please climb on in." Silverstreak says.

Marcel looked around and found absolutely nothing, but then remembered what Urata said. 'Giant robots that can turn into different things. Right.'

The young man got inside, finding the situation a novel experience if nothing else but he was really curious what their other form looked like. He was pretty sure they'd want to keep a low profile for obvious reasons otherwise he'd ask if he could take their picture. There were great many wonders of Noreal, but beyond there was still very much to see. He figured they were going somewhere more secluded so they could talk more in peace which was fine with him, he had a few things to ask here and there himself.

After a short drive to a secluded spot, Silverstreak and Traxxis come to a stop and Silverstreak opens his doors. Once Urata and Marcell exit, Silverstreak pulls away.

This gives Traxxis the opportunity to transform. Panels shift ans change as others click out of the way and within seconds, the truck and trailer were gone. Replaced with a giant, 75 foot tall robot "Greetings, Marcell Corbette. I am Traxxis. Like you, I was chosen to be a Celestial Knight and now, our ancient enemy, the Negative Knights, have re-emerged from the ether." he explains "Me and my fellow Celestial Knight have traveled far, seeking any other Celestial Knights that would aid us in our impending battle. Will you consider joining us as we prepare to defend the cosmos once again?" he asks.

Just because you told something didn't mean you were completely prepared on actually seeing it, which was the case on seeing a robot that tall. He wasn't Vanguard was ultimately while he respected it, wasn't for him he had some training however. This was still a lot to take in at first but he steeled himself the best he could.

"Ok so.." Marcel continued slowly. "I don't have reason not to believe you. I'm guessing this trouble is earth mainly? And is it just the Negative Knights or there someone in the background?" That place seemed to be a trouble magnet

Urata nodded. "Yeah, right. And we honestly don't know yet."

"How much do actually need my help?" Marcel questioned. "Isn't the locals enough? From what I know, earth has people that blow up cities and such. Noreal doesn't exactly have that anymore after our 'golden' years. Save maybe one or two people I know of. You also have a super hero group and someone named Julius Belmont who beat someone name Dracula who was just as bad or worse then Lord Rasmerus was. Under their own power no less. I'm just asking before I leap because going to another planet for a indefinite period is a ask."


It seemed he was just being cautious and not unwilling. Considering they had no idea how long it would take and he'd be on some long mission, it was understandable. Luckily Urata knew what to say and to answer his questions and concerns.

Urata shook his head. "Earth isn't much different then Noreal in that sense, earth gets to be played and exaggerated on some fronts. There are Very few that can do that or more. Julius doesn't have power like that anymore, plus he's up there in age. We don't know how many Negative Knights there are, or there is someone in the shadows backing them. So be on the safer side then being lax, then yeah we need your help. Especially if this problem spreads and Noreal gets caught into it."

"I see." Marcel was briefly quite, then resolved himself. "I wasn't expecting to follow my father foot steps after going another path, even if its different but yeah, I'm in. If it helps keep my home and loved ones safe. I just need a excuse to tell my folks so they don't panick when I vanish seemingly off the face of the earth."

Traxxis shakes his head "You will not be needing to go to Earth unless it is for Celestial Knight business." he says "You see, once you join us, you will be able to teleport to us whenever you desire to and you can even teleport back to Noreal when your business on Earth is concluded." he explains to Marcel "And once you form a pact with us, you will be able to communicate with us even as far away as Noreal is from Earth." he points out "That way you will always know when there is trouble on Earth or if there is trouble here, because make no mistake, the Negative Knights are not just Earths problem. If they are, Indeed, back, they are a threat to everyone." he states. And he should know, he fought them when they were at the hight of their power.

"Give me one moment." Marcel moved to the side to talk on the phone for a bit before coming back to the others. "If its all right, I want to come with you guys to earth now rather then later to be around you guys for a bit. One thing that stuck with me is learning about your teamates on and off the field helps a lot with people working together and surviving. Least from my dad and others like them."

Urata had no problem with this. "Yeah sure if Traxxis is fine with it the more the merrier and that does sound like a good idea."

Traxxis nods "That makes the most sense. Familiarity with your new team will make working with them that much smoother." he says as he looks over to Silverstreak "If you need to, my companion will take you to where ever you wish to go to settle thing on Noreal so that you have no loose ends." he offers as Silverstreak comes rolling up to Marcel and opens his door.

Marcel didn't have a reason to say no and it be faster this way then the round about way of going back and doing his own thing. "The only thing I actually need is to take some things with me and a few other calls so shouldn't take too long."

As they left, Urata turned to Traxxis. "That went better then I expected. Let's just hope the others didn't get into any trouble while we were gone."

Traxxis nods "I am sure if they had gotten into any trouble they could not handle themselves, they would call us on their communicators." he points out "After all, we told them that before they left." he says "Once Marcel returns, we should use my Space Bridge and get back to Earth as soon as we can." he points out.

That much was true, maybe he was just thinking too much about it. They may of been Celestial Knights but they were still new to things, but to be fair everyone was fairly new save for Traxxis which was a understatement.

It was a bit later where Marcel came back, having his business taken care of instead of just vanishing. He also had a backpack with him both for just practical things and a few others he just wanted to take with him. "Sorry it took a bit, I'm ready to go."

Marcel did see some Dusk Warden's wandering around which was odd since they respected Vanguard turf and usually let it be unless something was going on. Hopefully nothing too serious was going about concerning his neck of the world.
