So, following up with Na'vi buddy... might I request maybe their family also get telaported to the Lost light? Maybe this happens because Brainstorm while trying to get buddy home... accidentally brought the Sully family to them instead.
Introducing Tuk Tuk's twin sis!
Hope you enjoy!
Navi Sully Buddy and her family on the Lost Light

Buddy was starting to think that she might have been cursed.
For one, it had been less than a year since her family had to move from the only other place, they had called home because of the Sky People hunting them down.
Second, they had to adapt to a whole new lifestyle in their new home.
Third being the battle with the Sky People that nearly got her entire family killed.
Her eldest brother would have died if she hadn’t tripped them both, changing the bullet’s target to a less vital area.
And Buddy would have gladly gone through ALL of that again if it meant not being here right now.
She had just been collecting colorful shells for her twin sister when a bright light shone above her head and sucked her up!
Now she was in some ‘spaceship’, as her dad called these things, that was WAY bigger than anything she had ever seen.
There was too much cool metal and empty space for her comfort.
The worst part about being in this tin can was the fact she was alone.
No Mom.
No Dad.
No Neteyam.
No Spider.
No Kiri
No Lo’ak.
No Tuk
Just herself…
Buddy was walking around the ship, hugging herself for comfort. Buddy: “It’s okay. Just don’t panic. Just like Dad says.” The ground suddenly shook as something large turned the hallway corner. There stood the 3 biggest robots Buddy had ever seen. Rodimus: “All I’m saying is that the fourth movie is underrated.” Trailbreaker: “Yeah, but the third one has the most depth in it.” Nautica: “You’re both wrong, the second movie is the best one of them all!” Rodimus was the first to see the frozen blue alien in the middle of the hallway. Rodimus: “Umm… You guys are seeing what I’m see too, right?” Trailbreaker: “If you’re referring to the tiny blue thing that looks like its going to have a stroke, then yes.” Nautica: “Oh hush you two.” She gets on her knees as Buddy flinches a bit. Nautica: “Hey there. Where did you come from? Are you lost?” Buddy was quiet for a few seconds. These didn’t seem like the robots the RDA used. They certainly didn’t act like the humans inside some of them. Buddy: “…I’m lost…” Nautica: “Oh you poor thing.” Rodimus and Trailbreaker also knelt down. Buddy feels a tiny bit better that she wasn’t craning her neck so much. Rodimus: “Did your ship land on ours?” Buddy: “A bright light took me away from my family…” Trailbreaker: “…Hey Nautica, didn’t you say that Brainstorm was testing another universe bending machine?” Nautica: “…I need to make a call.”
It took a good amount of coaxing and persuasion for Buddy to be even remotely comfortable with having the bots carry her.
Her last encounter with robots wasn’t exactly the most pleasant.
However, things quickly changed the moment she finally figured out that there were no humans piloting these robots.
They were alien, yes, but they weren’t with the RDA.
These had to be good aliens!
The little Navi soon found herself perched on ‘Trailbreaker’ shoulder.
Rodimus had gone to get someone, and Nautica had gone off to call someone.
They were supposed to go to some room Rodimus had mentioned, but as they passed a rather loud sounding room a couple of robots suddenly dragged Trailbreaker in.
Buddy clung to the bots neckcables and tried to make herself as small as possible.
It was a large room with all sorts of robots of different colors and sizes.
Even the smallest robots were double her height.
Suddenly Trailbreaker was pushed down into a large chair.
The harsh movement sent Buddy to the table.
Whirl pokes at Buddy’s side as she tries to sit up. Whirl: “Didn’t know you had a secret pet Trailbreaker.” Trailbreaker helped the small alien stand up and nudged her closer to him. Trailbreaker: “She isn’t my pet Whirl. She’s—” Swerve: “OH MY PRIMUS!!!” Buddy winced a bit at the sudden shriek coming from behind her. It was a small red robot with blue looking sunglasses she had seen Norm use one time. Swerve: “That’s a Navi!” Buddy perked up. Buddy: “You know what I am?” The robot paused for a second before gasping. Swerve: “Wait! You’re Buddy! Your Jake Sully’s youngest kid!” Buddy: “Yeah that’s my dad! You know him?” Swerve suddenly realized what kind of mess the ship could be dealing with. Swerve: “In a way kiddo. In a way…” Meanwhile in the lab… Nautica: “WHAT DID YOU DO!?” Brainstorm: “WHATEVER IT WAS, IT WAS NOT MY FAULT!”
The official meet and greet ended up happening in the bar since Buddy didn’t want to move to another room.
This had been the first room in the ship she had been in that felt alive.
It also helped that Swerve unknowingly became the olive branch and helped get things situated with the crew and Captains.
There had been a bit of a running joke that Buddy preferred the bots who were blue like her.
…They weren’t entirely wrong.
The child was kept laughing and happy to distract from any negative thoughts on how much longer it was going to take for the science squad to figure this out.
An update was later made.
The good news was that Buddy was going to see her family.
The bad news was that they were brought to the ship too.
The Sully family (yes we are including Spider here) are brought into Swerve’s. Jake: “Did we just walk into a bar?” Buddy pops her head up from Whirl’s open cockpit. She looks down as her tail starts wagging. Buddy: “Dad! Mom!” Both parents immediately look around. The siblings were already looking around the robots pedes. Spider spots her from the inside one of the robots. Spider: “Buddy!” Buddy started clambering down the bot and sprinted towards her family. Buddy: “Neteyam! Spider! Kiri! Lo’ak! Tuk Tuk!” She slams straight into her twin sister as the others start forming a group hug. Neytiri: “Never do that again! Do you hear!?” Buddy: “It wasn’t like I wanted to get sucked up and go to space alone mama.” Rewind: “This is one of the best family reunions ever.” Chromedome: “Are your filming this?” Rewind: “Always am. Besides, who else is going to film Swerve’s fanboy activity afterwards?” Chromedome: “True, carrying on.”
It became clear very quickly that it was going to take some time for the family to return to their own world.
In the meantime, they were the ship’s guests.
Buddy had a blast in introducing the nice bots that kept her company and helped her when she first came.
Swerve nearly spontaneously combusts when officially meeting Jake and Neytiri.
Spider was very surprised how many of these robots were actually fine with him looking the way he was.
If he was being honest, the boy was pretty sure that a good portion of the bots preferred him over the others.
This was a shock to say the least.
Drift had taken a special liking to the boy when he tried showing off his ‘moves’.
The little guy had a lot of potential and seemed outclassed by simply being in the wrong group for comparison.
Jake spots Spider on top of Buddy’s shoulders. He spots something in the boy’s hand. Jake: “Spider what do you have there?” Spider pulls out a small sword. Spider: “A sword!” Jake: “No!” The father starts sprinting after them. Spider: “Buddy run! He’s gaining on us!” Buddy: “I’m trying!” Jake: “I expect this from Lo’ak not you Buddy!”
Speaking of Lo’ak, it was a mistake and blessing in letting him meet Rodimus.
For one, the two had plenty to talk about.
The navi boy was curious about space as the rest of his siblings, the Prime was more than happy to explain some things.
The bot seemingly understood whenever Lo’ak mentioned about being in trouble and just trying to be himself.
Not to live in his big brother’s shadow.
Rodimus defiantly understood the scoldings of someone of higher power for just doing something they loved.
For that, the Co-Captain tries to keep the kid with him for the most part of their stay on the ship.
The boy needed a breather from his parents!
Magnus: “Rodimus.” Rodimus: “No.” Magnus: “Rodimus, they are his parents.” Rodimus: “He is perfectly safe with me.” He gives a bit of a soft look. Rodimus: “He does need a break from his superiors.” Magnus knows where this is going. Magnus: “He is still their child. No matter what feud is going on between them, you need to bring him back.” Rodimus gestures his chassis subspace. Lo’ak was happily sleeping in it. Magnus: “…I’ll let the family know he is in safe hands.” Rodimus: “Thanks Magnus!” Magnus walks out of the room. Rodimus gently pokes the navi. He wakes up immediately. Lo’ak: “Thanks for the save.” Rodimus: “No problem! Sometimes you just need a break.” Lo’ak scoffs a bit as he settled back to his warm spot in the subspace. Lo’ak: I guess…” Rodimus:”… You know one time I played possum to get out of work?” Lo’ak: “What’s possum?”
Kiri and Tuk were simultaneously ‘adopted’ by Cyclonus and Tailgate.
They aren’t exactly sure how it happened.
Really it was just Tailgate calling ‘dibs’, picked them up and happily walked back to his booth with Cyclonus.
The girls didn’t mind Tailgate.
He was one of the smaller robots and by far one of the friendliest.
Cyclonus took a bit to get used to.
Tailgate helped with that as well.
Thanks to the power of karaokee and being a personal jungle gym, the girl’s take a liking to the purple robot.
Kiri was sitting on Cyclonus’s shoulder, gently tracing his helm. Kiri: “Do you use your horns for anything?” Cyclonus: “They do help in the heat of battle.” Tailgate has Tuk on his helm. Tailgate: “He didn’t always have two of them. When I first met him, he only had one.” Cyclonus: “Need I remind you that you did that with that explosion that nearly took us out.” Tailgate: “Oh yeah! Almost forgot about that.” Tuk: “Oh! So that’s how you met the love of your life.” Cyclonus and Tailgate: !!!!
Neteyam was the last to get ‘adopted’.
And by the strangest bot as well.
It took a lot of bots by surprise when Whirl snatched up the eldest Sully and stuffed him in his cockpit and ran off.
In Whirl’s defense, he thought the oldest one was the troublemaker and wanted to do some graffiti in Magnus’s office again.
He did not think that he had snatched the rule abiding one.
Oh well, he can make this work.
The kid was still a kid.
There’s got to be some sort of mischief somewhere in that blue little body of his!
Whirl did find mischief under all that ‘self-righteousness’ and hero complex… along with other things.
Whirl notices the kid walking a bit funny. Whirl: “What’s with the walk Yammy?” Neteyam: “First, not my name. Second… I got it from the most recent battle we had with the Sky People.” Whirl pauses, recalling Buddy mentioning one of her brother’s getting injured badly in a fight. Neteyam: “But I am getting stronger every day and everyone is safe. That is what matters.” Whirl: “…War sucks, doesn’t it?” Neteyam: “… I suppose it does… May I ask about those?” He pointed at Whirl’s claws. Whirl was not in the mood of bringing up how dirty his own government did to him. Whirl: “War too kid. It’s always the war.” Neteyam: “I apologize if I offended—” Whirl: “No, no, enough of that. We are doing something fun. Buddy mentioned you pipsqueaks like flying right?” Neteyam blinks, a bit confused by the sudden topic change. Neteyam: “I mean, we did fly a lot in our old home—OH MY EYWA!” Whirl had transformed into his alt mode. He popped the cockpit open. Whirl: “what are you waiting for Yam boy? An invitation? Hop in!” Neteyam can’t help but let the smile creep to his face.
