Finally my first "Team Earth" story is ready! For a long time I wanted to post this story; But having the story in your head is one thing, writing is another. I really admire these people who can write several fanfics throughout the year.

Well, here is the beginning of the story. I hope you like it.

And like Always; Transformers doesn't belongs to me.

The autobots (even Ratchet) and the three human children stood at the entrance of an abandoned coal mine.

"Just remember, Jack: Do not tell your mother! We're not doing this because we want! It's because we have no choice!" Arcee said seriously.

"I understand, Arcee. But I guarantee nothing. My mother must have some kind of lie detector. And I must admit I'm not one of the best liars." Jack said, putting his arm behind his head.

It all started when Optimus located another relic. It was in an old coal mine that had been shut down decades ago. Unfortunately, after a point, the mine was getting smaller, to the point that not even Arcee could get in easily. And to complicate matters, Agent Fowler was not available ("He never is, when we need him most!" Bulkhead snarled). Their only option was to call the children to help.

"This is so cool! This time we can go help the bots! SWEET!" Miko shouted, jumping with joy. Bulkhead did not know whether to calm or laugh at his partner's animation.

"Here it is: This device will indicate when you approach the relic." Ratchet spoke, handing to Raf a small device, similar to what he had, but in human size.*

"The rocks will hinder our communicators. And because of our size, we cannot offer much help. That's why if anything happens, no matter what, You three get out of the mine. Do not worry about the relic, we'll think about it later." Optimus said clearly.

"We understand, Optimus." Jack nodded. Raf nodded. "Loud and clear, boss!" Miko shouted.

Then they went in. At first there was nothing. But as they moved deeper into the mine, it grew wetter, quieter, and cooler. "I knew I should have brought a coat," Raf moaned, breaking the silence first, since they left the bots.

"I do not like caves. They give me unpleasant memories." Miko shuddered. Raf did not understand at first, but Jack knew she was talking about the time they got stuck in an energon mine. Neither of them said anything for a while.

Then Raf's machine began to beep very quietly. "We're getting close."

"About time." Miko said. With that, they hurried on.

When the device finally indicated that they had arrived at the place, the children had no problem with the height, but a tall adult would have to lower it a little. And obviously, the autobots could not get through.

"Okay ... I guess this is where we start digging." Jack said, taking one of the tools the autobots had delivered.

"That's the boring part ..." Miko snorted, but picked up the tool and started working. Raf tried to help too, but the tools were too heavy for him. He could only stay and wait.

"Guys... did you hear something?" Raf said, looking at the tunnel.

"Hmm? It must be the echo of the tools." Miko shrugged.

"No. I'm sure I heard something... "

They went silent, trying to hear. And they heard. Explosions, metal against metal and gunshots.

"I bet it' is the cons!" Miko said.

"No need to bet. I'm sure it's the cons!" Jack said back "Let's get this relic out of here!"

"Right, Optimus Junior!"

"Very funny, Miko!" He moaned, not liking the nickname at all.

Keeping in mind the danger, they speeded up the job. Finally they found the relic. Luckily it was not very big and could move her without problems. "I hope it's a new weapon to help the bots!" Miko exclaimed. Although they said nothing, the two boys were thinking the same thing.

They were already near the entrance of the mine, the noise of the fight was almost deafening.

"We'll have to be quick for no Decepticon see us! Let's get away from the fight and when we be at a safe distance, we call the autobots. Got that?"

"Yes!" They replied.

"You will not put your servants in the relic, Megatron!" Optimus growled as he fought Megatron.

"That's what we shall see, Prime!" Megatron replied back.

The three humans were passing almost unnoticed with the relic. Almost.

"Did you bring your pets along, Optimus? Bad idea." Megatron said with a mocking smile. Optimus's eyes widened, but before he had time to react, Megatron gave a head blow so hard it knocked Optimus' out. And Megatron took the opportunity to load his cannon and aim towards the children.

Luckily, Jack saw it. "GUYS! WATCH OUT!"

They jumped out of the cannon firing range. The shot nearly hit the relic. But the ground where the children were, began to crack. They tried to run, but did not have time... and fell into a pit.

"JACK!" Arcee shouted in despair.

"MIKO!" Bulkhead also shouted for his partner.

{RAF!} Bumblebee whistled so hard it hurt his vocal processors.

"No ..." Optimus could only say. This should not have happened! Never!

"It's a shame that humans are so fragile." Megatron scoffed. "We'll be kind and let you collect the remains." And he transform, along with the other Velhicons.

The autobots did not move. They could not believe that this had happened. Your partners, your friends... they were... NO! But... their bodies would not resist the fall and rocks...

"Do not just stand there! If they are alive, every minute is precious!" Ratchet shouted, recovering first. That awakened everyone. Even so small, there was still hope.

They went down the moat and collected the rocks, with the sparks in the throats. They wanted to find their partners, but they knew the vision would not be pleasant.

Then they removed another rock ... and there were their partners. "Jack!" Arcee cried.

"Do not touch them! You can hurt them more by accident!" Ratchet warned as he activated his scanners.

"Ouch ... Arcee?" He moaned. He was dirty with mud and his clothes were torn, but apart from that, he did not look like having any injuries. The same with Miko and Raf who were also waking up. "Did anyone write down the number of the truck that hit me?" Miko groaned "No offense, Optimus."

{Raf, how are you feeling? Are you okay? "Bumblebee asked worriedly.

"I'm fine, Bee. Seriously, there's nothing broken. "

"Except for your glasses," Miko said, showing to him, his shatter glasses.

"Oh! It's okay, I have another at home."

"By All Spark ... How can this be?" Ratchet exclaimed softly. "They have nothing! Not even a scratch in the fall! It can only be a miracle! "

"That, or we're some damn lucky bastards!" Miko shouted, brandishing her fist up.

"Miko! Language!" Jack said.

"What? I'm just telling the truth. I just want to see bucket-head's face when he sees that we do not die!" she laughed.

"Oh! The relic! Almost forgot!" Jack remembered. The three children, with help from the autobots, unearthed it. "Here's Optimus. We have one more Cybertronian relic."

"I want to thank my friends. But I want you to know one thing... no relic is worth your life and security. I would give everything to know that you are good and well." Optimus said, his voice was calm and controlled as always, but his optics glowed very hard and he had a smile on his face.

"Awann... That was so cute!" Miko exclaimed.

The autobots and the children left the mine, happy and ready to go home.

"You know, Optimus... I'm very happy that the kids are fine... but still, I cannot understand what happened. The fall would have been fatal and the stones would have left them with fractures so horrible that..." Ratchet said, but was not able to finish the sentence.

"I don't know. And maybe we'll never know. But do not worry about it now, Ratchet. Now just be glad our young friends are alive and well."

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

However, if Optimus knew what had really happened, he would be at least worried;

The fall had been fatal. And the rocks made fractures so horrible that no one would have been able to survive.

However... the fall and the rocks did something else: it opened a fine crack in the pod. Inside was a strange silver liquid. This liquid, when leaking from the crack, was forming a large puddle. And wet the three children. As he touched his wounds, the liquid entered his bloodstream. Slowly, his wounds were healed, saving the three of a certain death. Of course there was nothing left inside the pod. The autobots would have a surprise when they opened it.

However, the silver liquid is still in the body of the three kids. And he's still acting. What will happen to them? Only time will tell.

So? Did you liked? I will try to post the next chapter soon.

(*) You know what I'm talking about. The devise the Bots always have when they are in a relic hunting or coleting energon.

By the way, somebody can guess what is the "silver liquid" that was inside the pod? One tip: something similar appeared in the final episodes of Transformers Prime.
