The Exploricons were busy setting up their quarters, since their ship had been damaged in the crash. "*sigh* I guess I'll be seeing a lot of butterflies now," said Aquin "I also get to know what Preds and Maxis are like."

"Well first we need to get to know the commanders and the crew of each ship." Said Gomabot.

"Gomabot's right Aquin, if we know or neighbors they'll know what we're like in turn." Pichuana said. "Plus we'll get some inside info and mayber pass the infor--"

"Don't even think about it Pichuana." Palmona said.

"Well who should we get to know first?" Aquin said exitedly.

"How 'bout the Maximals, they have that cutie of a female over there." Charmel said.

The other rolled their eyes. "Is that all you can think about, Charmel, fems?" Gomabot asked sarcastically.

"Well it's better than what you do!"

"FYI, if you haven't forgotten he's MY boyfriend." Pichuana said.

"Enough arguing! Do you want Optimus to think all we do is quarrel?" Palmona said anoyed with the whole thing.

"Sorry Palmona." Charmel, Pichuana, and Gomabot said in unison.

"C'mon you guys lets go already!" Aquin said from outside.

"Coming!"

~At the Maximal Base~

Optimus and the others were out collecting data from the area surrounding their base.

"Why must we waste our time with this? We should be figuring out Megatrons next move!" said an angry Dinobot.

"This information might be vital if Megatron attacks our base." Optimus said. "With the Exploricons things might get tricky in the Beast Wars."

"Weeeee! I'm flying!" said Aquin from above. The maximals looked above them to see the hyperactive Exploricon hovering over their heads.

"Greetings Optimus Primal." Said Palmona. "I hope you don't mind us dropping by."

"Not at all, we were just talking about you." Optimus said.

Aquin settled down and landed on the ground with a thud, the bottom half of her body coiled up for balance. "Not bad, last time I landed in the water near the base." Aquin said.

"Not that you minded." Pichuana said.

"I would have caught you Aquin, but I probally couldn't have." Gomabot said

"You could have used 'Marching Fishes' to break her fall!" Charmel said.

"I didn't see you do anything Char!" Pichuana said.

"Stop! Geez you guys argue over the smallest things!" Aquin said.

Palmona just looked away from the three quarelers shaking her head.

"Don't worry we're used to hearing arguments." Said Cheetor.

"Good, because those three are at it constantly." Aquin said. "Palmona always has a way of dealing with long and pointless ones."

When Pichuana and the other two heard this they immediately stopped and regained some maturity. "Please don't Palmona we won't say annother word I promise!" Pichuana said

Aquin and Palmona smiled "OK but not annother argument. Charmel don't even utter a word!" Palmona said.

"And NO psycic talk neither!" Aquin added.

"Damn." Said Pichuana silently.

"Pichuana! That was a very bad thing you just did, Palmona might blast you straight to hell for it too." Gomabot said in her mind.

"Ok, so is there a lot of energon on this planet?" Palmona asked.

"Yes an ecesive amount too." Airazor said.

"That explains the beast modes." Charmel said.

Aquin looked in Charmel's direction and waved her finger from side to side "Ah ah ahhhhh. No talking."

"Poison Ivy!" Palmona said. Charmel was wraped in the vines the Palmona sent out, she tossed him aside.
"Palmona, next time I wanna take care of him." Pichuana said. "I'll thundershock his ass out of existance."

"Pichuana?" Aquin asked

"Yes Aquin?"

"Do us all a favor and stop watching 'The Slayers' anime." Aquin said. "You're starting to act like Lina!"
Gomabot nodded. "The kid's right, even though she does act like Umi form MKR a little too much."
"It's not a bad thing 'nither!" Aquin said.

The Maximals looked at the Exploricons quizically. "What in the pit is anime?" Dinobot asked.

"It's a term for cartoons from 20th century earth, from a country called Japan. And some of the characters actually  live in the Poke'-digi world." Aquin said.

"Oh….." was Dinobots reply.

"Hey, we told you all about us! Now you tell us about you!" Charmel said.

"Ok…..I'm Optimus Primal leader of the Axalon crew."

"I'm Rattrap, second in command."

"I'm Cheetor."

"I'm Rhinox, the tech guy."

"I am Dinobot."

"I'm Tigatron."

"I'm Airazor, pleased to meet you."

"Cool." Said Charmel.

"Neato."Said Gomabot.

"Spiffy!" said Aquin.

"Groovy baby." Said Pichuana

"What they said." Palmona said.

"Well we must be off." Said Pichuana. "We need to meet the Predicons."

"Can I stay here Palmona?" Aquin asked.

"Why?"

"I wanna check out the Axalon and help the Maximals!" Aquin said.

"Sorry, you can't."

"But WHY?!" she whined

"It's ok with us we can use the help." Optimus said.

"Please?" Aquin pleaded giving the anime eyes.

"Well….OK." Palmona gave in "Just was long you're back before nightfall."

"Thanks Palmona I will! You're the best!" Aquin said gleefully.

"You're welcome hon."

"How come SHE gets to stay?" Charmel asked.

"Well she's been behaving lately, and she doesn't like the Preds."

"C'mon you guys, lets go!" said Pichuana.

The Exploricons left leaving Aquin behind.

"So Aquin, ready to get to work.?" Optimus asked.

"Yeah!" she said happily.

"Ok, help Cheetor with clearing some of the vines over there."

"On it!"
