"Maybe a bit more like this blue."
"No way, it's totally this one!"
"Are you sure?"
"Positive, just look!"
"Well what about the other one? I think it's mostly this color."
"No no, that purple doesn't go with it at all. it's This one."
"Miko I think your eye's need checked."
"Well I think you need new glasses."
"Really?"
Sitting outside of Jasper High Nevada, sat two girls who had identical facial and body structures. One was Miko Nakadai; She had black hair with pink bangs and tips with a singular pink strand. Adorning her body was a pink undershirt and a blue tanktop with a green monster. Upon her hips sat a yellow belt with two chibi bears holding up dark blue jean shorts. Blue and purple ringed leggings sat securely over her legs and over her feet was black boots with pink shoe laces. Her hair, fashioned with two puffy pigtails, a low pony tail in the back, and banged swept to the left side of her face. Her backpack was black and pink with tons of miscellaneous items.
The other was Mika Nakadai; She had black silky hair with purple streaks. Adorning her body was a dark faded blue baggy long sleeved shirt *the top buttons unbuttoned and showing a dark purple tank underneath* tucked into ripped black jean shorts. Over that was a black and silver studded punk belt with a chibi wolf, He hair was messily put into a pony tail, some strands falling into her face. Her eyes, while Miko's was brown, was gold. Adorning her feet were the same boots as Miko's but with dark purple laces. Adorning her face was black rimmed glasses and a strawberry pocky that she never seemed to run out of. Her backpack was black and purple with tons of miscellaneous items and her never ending supply of pocky.
Before them on the large stone slab railway of the stairs, was two sketch pads and color's pencils. Upon the sketch pads were the current object's they were staring at.
On Miko's was a cute drawing of a blue motorcycle and on Mika's was a more expertly sketched purple motorcycle.
"Hmm..."
They both looked down at the papers, glaring at it before back up only to find the blue one gone.
"Hey, where did it go?"
Mika looked around curiously before she spoke. "There." She told Miko as the Motorcycle rode around the corner with a girl on it they never seen before.
"Lets go check it out!"
She was about to loyally follow her twin sister only to pause at the purple bike. "One day I'll have a cool bike like you." She murmured before turning and following her twin.
As she approached she heard Miko exclaimed "Dude go with!"
Curiously, Mika rounded the corner and stopped dead in her tracks as a large blue, grey, and pink robot stood tall in front of a boy.
"Whoah.."
"Scrap." The female bot sighed before putting her hand to the side of her head. "Chromia, I need you to come get one of the girls.."
"... Let me guess, they saw?" A female voice asked back.
"They saw.."
"Coming."
The next thing Mika knew the boy hopped on the now bike a long with Miko. "HEY! Miko!"
Before Mika could follow, the purple bike from before skidded to a halt in front of her.
"Hop on kid."
"U-Uh..."
"Don't worry I wont hurt you. We're going to follow them." The wheel turned in the direction the blue motorcycle went, following a yellow Camaro.
"Okay..." I hesitantly hopped on and the next thing I knew the bike took off. "EEP!"
"The names Chromia. Whats yours?"
"Mika Nakadai."
The conversation didn't last long and soon it was a bit silent during the semi long drive. They were out of town when they came across a fork in the road with a giant rock formation in the middle of the split.
She could briefly hear Miko cheering on the blue motorcycle as they drove faster and towards the cliff wall.
Startled, Mika clung to Chromia's handles and with an EEEK she closed her eye's awaiting a crash.
When nothing happened she opened her eyes to see them going through a DOOR in the cliff and down a road.
"Woah." Her and a little boy she'd seen around school, Raf, said in shock as they traveled down the large tunnel like hall.
Before long they came into a large opening before two other large robots, one green and the other white and orange.
Once they all got off the robots said beings transformed into their larger ones forms. I blinked before back tracking to Miko and hiding behind her, peeking over her shoulder to watch.
"I thought there was only two?" The Orange and white one known as Ratchet grumbled.
"Haven't you heard? Humans multiply." The blue one known as Arcee said back to Ratchet.
Mika could feel mischief from her twin bond and sighed before giving off a confidant vibe, hiding her nervousness and fear of the large beings behind her mask.
"I feel like Multiplying right now!" Miko shouted before stepping to the side to reveal Mika.
"Woah!" Mika and Miko mimed the other, poking and prodding each other at the same time as if they were clones.
"By the allspark!" Ratchet hadn't seen Mika behind Miko, the look in his Optics said it all, 'there will be MORE humans?!'
"Relax." Arcee sighed, "She was just hidden behind the other one."
"Uhm." Raf cleared his throat before looking at them all nervously. "Hi I'm Raf."
"Jack."
"The names Mika." Mika winked at Ratchet.
He was adorably grumpy once she got passed the giant metal being capable of squishing her with his pinky thing.
"I'm Miko!" Said person dragged Mika over to Bulkhead. "Who are you?"
"Uh...Bulkhead?"
Miko looked at her twin who nodded before both grinned.
"Are you a car?" Mika asked.
"I bet your a truck!" Miko piped in.
"A monster truck!." They cheered at the same time.
"Do you like heavy Metal? Miko asked.
"How much do you weigh?" Mika poked his foot.
"Ever use a wrecking ball as a punching bag?" They blinked up at the now startled bot.
"Uhhhh..."
"if you're all robots... who made you?" Raf interrupted.
"Pulease." Ratchet grumbled, rolling his optics.
"I don't think someone made them." Mika told Raf.
Before long Mika felt thudding on the floor as another bot entered, walking from behind them. She turned and almost feinted.
He was very huge compared to the others.
"I am Optimus Prime."
"Helo.." All four of them chorused.
"We are Autonomous Robotic Organisms from the planet Cyberton." He continued.
"But you can call them Autobots for short." Arcee looked over the kids bored.
"Why are you hear?" Jack asked.
"Within the depths of your world lay energon, the fuel and life blood of cybetronians alike-"
Mika tuned the conversation out as she took in her surroundings. All the bots in order were Optimus prime; Leader of the Autobots. Ratchet; Field Medic of the Autobots. Arcee; warrior of the Autobots. Bumblebee; Scout to the Autobots. Bulkhead; Wrecker of the Autobots. Finally, there was Chromia; Warrior and weapons specialist to the Autobots.
Optimus appeared to be a kind leader, but old fashioned and always in control of his emotions. Serious but not cruel.
Arcee seemed rough around the edges but with a good heart. Or whatever they have...
Chromia seemed feisty but like Arcee had a good whatever they had in their chests.
Bulkhead seemed tough, like he loved breaking things but was secretly gentle and kind.
Bumblebee was kid like, curious about everything and brave.
Ratchet was super cranky towards everything, but Mika thought it might just be a pretense to hide how much he truly cares for everything.
Though right now he seemed to genuinely dislike them.
'Are you done analyzing?' Mika heard her sister over their bond.
Mika had a few strange abilities that only Miko knew of, for now they lay secret from everyone.
But, one of those abilities were to analyze people and easily tell how they are, who they are deep down, rank, and if they were good.
'Yes, did I miss all the boring mono logging?'
'Yeah, glad to know I'm not the only one who wasn't paying attention.'
'it's not that...'
'I know.'
"-Got it," Jack started as he backed away a bit, getting Mika's attention. "if they see any strange vehicles call 911. Can they go now?"
Oh... She missed something.
"Are you insane? We're living the dream here in bot sauna, and we will not let you shatter it."
"...I hate when you guys talk at the same time." Jack muttered
"it is best that you four remain here under out watch; at least until we can determine our enemy's intentions." Optimus sighed.
"Optimus, with all due respect, the children are in as much danger here as anywhere else." Chromia protested.
"Children?" Jack and Miko scowled.
"They have no protective shell, and if they get underfoot, they will go... squish." Ratchet stomped his foot lightly in example.
Mika smirked at that before looking back at Miko and Jack before mimicking Ratchet. "Squish!"
Jack and Raf jumped back, eyes wide.
She snickered.
"Then for the time being Ratchet, we must watch where they step." Optimus speaks like a true Jedi Master.
What? He sounded like one to Mika anyway...
~~~~~Time skippy skippy!~~~~~~~
"Pretty big bearings for a human." Bulkhead grumbled after Agent Fowler left.
"Agreed" Chromia growled, glaring after the squishy human.
"Agent Fowler is merely concerned for his world Bulkhead, as he should be." Optimus said.
...
...
...
*Beep, Beep, Beep*
"Blasted earth tech!" Ratchet gripes, "Cliffjumper's signal just popped back online."
"What?" Chromia looked alarmed.
"Who's Cliffjumper?"
"How is that possible?" Optmus asked.
"if there is any chance that Cliffs alive..." Arcee looked to Optimus.
"Ratchet, prepare the sick bay. We may need it."
"Hey!" Miko shouts excitedly as I runs down the steps some, Optimus paused and looked down to my. "What can we do?"
"... Remain with Ratchet." Optimus replies as he activates his battle mask.
"Awww."
"Awww..." Ratchet mimics Miko causing her twin to laugh.
"Autobots." Optimus started as the bridge opened. "Roll out"
Bumblebee, Bulkhead, Arcee and Chromia followed quickly after their leader.
"What just happened?" Jack watched in aw as the bridge shut off.
"I transported them to the designated coordinates via the ground bridge."
"...What's a ground bridge?"
"... A scale down version of space bridge technology." Ratchet sighs as if everyone should know about it. "Since they don't currently posses the means of the Energon required for intergalactic travel-"
"Your stuck here." Mika started.
"On earth." Jack realized it too.
"With the likes of you? Yes."
"Does the ground bridge work for humans?" Raf was curious now.
"Naturally."
"Wait... You mean to tell my I could just pop on over and visit my parents in Tokyo-" Miko asked incredulously.
"-like its as simple as going out the door?" Mika finished.
"Within moments." Ratchet states. " in fact, why don't I send you there now? All four of you."
"Watch it Ratchet."
-A while later-
"What's this?" Mika asked after a while as she glanced at some odd alien Tech.
"Broken, don't touch."
Miko spotted another and reached for it and with out missing a beat, or turning around, Ratchet countered back to my.
"Don't touch that either."
"is there anything they CAN touch?" Jack folded his arms as he walked up to the twins.
Mika poked the alien tech anyway.
"Why do you guys use human computers?" Raf asks confused.
"it most certainly isn't by choice!" Rachet huffs. "it was handed down from the previous lieutenants when they inherited this, former missile silo. I make modifications as I see fit."
Error boxes begin popping up all over the screen causing Ratchet to growl in frustration.
"I think I can help with that!" Raf suggests with a grin as he plugs his laptop into the other computers.
"Oh really?" Ratchet rolls his optics. "You do know that this is complex technology don't you? it isn't a childs to-"
Ratchet stops talking when Raf begins typing furiously and after a few minutes he looks up at him.
"Try it now."
He frowns before pressing a button and all the error boxes disappeared, returning the screens to it's original state.
"Nice one Raf." Mika grinned to him and gave him a high five.
-Ratchet, bridge us back. Use the arrival coordinates...now!-
Ratchet quickly opened the bridge and as it opened the autobots made haste coming in, being fallowed by blue fire. Once Optimus, who was the last one through, made it all the way in Ratchet rushed and closed the gate. "Cutting it a bit close..." Ratchet frowned. "What happened?"
"Fragging 'cons blew up the mine." Chromia replied as she stretched a bit.
"Woahhhh, was there a fight? What was that explosion? Can I come next time?!" Miko was exited, but didn't notice the tense situation.
"Look-"
"Uh Miko!" Jack interrupted Arcee, "Lets go see what they keep in their sock drawer?"
"..."
"..."
"Seriously?" Miko deadpanned at Jack.
"Are you okay?" Raf and Mika looked worriedly at Arcee and Chromia who collapsed to her knees.
"Dizzy.."
"Ugh.."
The kids all looked worriedly at each other.
"Robots who get dizzy?"
"Robots with emotions..."
Mika and Raf looked at each other in realization. This was REAL, they could feel and get hurt and...
"Robots who could die." Both her and Raf whispered before turning and seeing Ratchet take a sample of some purple substance on Arcee's and Chromia's hand.
"What is this?" Ratchet asked quizzically.
"Don't know..." Chromia murmured.
"Cliff was covered in it, leaking it." Arcee finished.
"Go take a decontamination bath. Now." Ratchet urged.
Mika watched Arcee and Chromia walked off and took a moment to think, were she and Miko safe here? They could get killed, they could ACTUALLY die... with Miko's mouth and Mika's hidden powers that could pop up when in danger... could they actually survive?
Mika felt like they were fragged...
"-head accompany Miko home."
"Awesome! Our host parents are going to freak!"
"-and maintain covert surveillance in Vehicular form." Optimus added.
"Curbside duty, got it." Bulkhead agreed, looking at Miko.
"Aww..."
"Bumblebee you will watch over Raf."
Raf smiled up to Bee who nodded and gave a thumbs up to Raf.
"Ratchet-"
"Busy." Ratchet interrupted as he continued observing his sample.
"-Arcee you will accompany Jack." Optimus continues as Arcee came in.
Her eyes went wide before she put a servo to her head, wobbling a bit for added effect. "Still dizzy.."
"Your fine." Ratchet waved her off with out looking behind him. "Say's your physician."
Mika almost laughed when she heard Arcee grumbling.
"What about Mika? Do we have the same guardian?"
"Having the same guardian wouldn't be a good idea." Arcee spoke. "it'd be harder to watch over TWO charges..."
"Busy." Ratchet grunted again. "I don't have time to babysit."
Mika frowned.
Optimus frowned, looking for Chromia who wasn't in sight.
Mika shuffled her feet.
Her anxiety was acting up and she began to feel her fear of rejection. That they didn't want her.
'Mika... calm down. No ones thinking that.'
"Chromia." Optimus called as said bot came from the wash.
"What?"
"You will be Mika's guardian."
Chromia looked over Mika with a frown at first. She knew better then to fight Optimus so she sighed. "Alright"
Chromia transformed a long with the rest of the Autobots to take their new charges home. Mika hesitantly hopped on again. Murmuring a thanks to Chromia before they took off to home.
"You excited for tomorrow?" Miko asked Mika as she hopped into her bed.
They shared a bed all their lives, shared a special bond.
Yet their host parents had made them sleep separately until Mika found a way to sneak into Miko's room and back to hers in the morning with them non the wiser.
Sometimes vise versa.
Mika yawned, dressed in her favorite short shorts and super long 'its too AM for me.' shirt. "Yeah."
Chromia would be busy on a scouting mission with Optimus and so Mika would ride with Bulkhed and Miko.
Miko flopped next to Mika and cuddled up next to her before they both fell asleep. Mika loved being here with Miko, they did everything together. Slept together, ate together, got into trouble together, you name it.
Though Miko was the more outgoing and taking action twin, Mika followed loyally.
Mom and dad would always say to their friends 'Wherever Miko is, Mika is there. There cannot be one and not the other.'
Because they were inseparable, and all they had was each other.
Only they truly understood the other...
"Are you ready?" Miko strapped herself into the passenger seat while Mika was in the driver seat.
Mika peaked out of the window and down the super steep hill and bit back a terrified gulp. "No." She squeaked in fear.
"To bad, lets go Bulk!"
"Uhh... Miko." Bulkhead said the the radio worried. "I'm supposed to be protecting you... not putting you in danger."
"Pff we're sitting inside a ten ton robot." Miko reassured as she patted his seat. "We're protected."
That did little to assure Mika, who's heart felt like it was going to beat out of her chest at any given moment.
With a sigh of acceptance Bulkhead started his engine and roared forward...
... and down the hill super fast.
"WOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" Miko shouted in glee, every other o shaking as they went down the rocky slope, while Mika was hugging Bulkheads wheel as if her life depended on it as they zoomed over the bumps and small hills.
"AHHHHH!"
...
...
...
"That was awesome!" Jack laughed as he got off of Arcee."
"Can they go again?" Raf grinned excitedly, hopping out of Bumblebee.
"That was Sweet!" Miko cheered as she hopped out of Bulkhead, adrenaline going wild.
"Ground! I've missed you, never leave my again!" Mika cried dramatically as she hopped out of Bulkhead and unfortunately lost her step and fell.
"WAAHHHH!"
*Smack*
She landed face first.
"I'm okay..."
Bulkhead paused as he felt something knocking around in his chest after he and the rest transformed. Opening it up he pulled out Miko's guitar and blinked at it.
"Oops, Must've forgot that in the back seat." Miko said sheepishly.
"-Very well. Ratchet ready the ground bridge." Optimus's voice breaks through the kids conversation. "Autobots prepare too..."
He trails off as he just notices them.
"Roll out?" Arcee supplies as she places her hand on her hip.
"...Remain here. Ratchet, Chromia you will come with me. Arcee, we'll be outside of communications range for some time, you are in charge."
"Dude, your biggest, you should be the boss." Miko says to Bulkhead.
"Uh... he never picks my." Bulkhead grumbles.
"Optimus with all due respect, playing bodyguard is one thing, but baby sitting is another." Arcee argues. "Besides, Ratchet hasn't been in the field since the war and Chromia has a charge too."
"My pistons may be rusty but my hearing is as sharp as ever." Ratchet informs with a huff.
"I think my charge is fine." Chromia pointed to the now sleeping Mika.
...
...
*BEEEP! BEEP! BEEEP!"
"Ugh! its an alert from Agent Fowler!" Mika heard Bulkhead call as she blearily looked around, she pushed up her glasses that had slid down before stretching.
Wait... She missed agent Fowler?
How did Fowler not see her on the couch?
Why does she keep missing this stuff?
'Because you keep getting lost in thought and sleeping. Lets go.' Miko pulled her a long with her as Mika suddenly found herself being yanked through the vortex that is the ground bridge.
"So whats the plan?" Miko whispered loudly as she and Mika were huddled behind a rock.
"Miko!" Bulkhead gaped. "Mika!?"
The sound of a gun powering up caused the two of them to turn around and see a large Con walking towards them.
His weapon ready.
"Oh..."
"Unwise..."
"Get down" Bulk head shouts.
Mika grabbed Miko and dodged, rolling in the rocky floor before looking back up to see Bulkhead beating the slag out of the Con, holding it in place.
Miko runs over to hit it with my rock. "HOLD EM IN PLACE!" And proceeds to toss said rock which bounces harmlessly off the vehicon. Bulk lifted Miko up and deposited her next to Mika before Bulkhead had the con where he wanted it, his fist in its chest.
"Look away!" He demanded them.
"But-"
"Turn your head away."
Mika did, mostly because this was getting to her and a life was a life even if it was a con. She heard the screech of metal before the sound of the mech powering down sounded and as she turned her attention back the mech dropped dead to the floor.
"Woah..."
Bulkhead looked back towards them and with a sigh he started his Comm link. "Arcee, Bumblebee so you read?"
...
...
...
"I have a situation."
Mika cringed at Arcee's voice.
"Your where? THEY'RE WHERE?!"
"I don't think she's very happy." Mika whispered to Miko who nodded.
...
...
"What's taking them so long." Bulkhead sighed
Mika looked up to him, she'd been leaning against Miko, and shrugged.
As if on Cue the bridge appears.
"about time-"
Jack and Raf popped out.
"..."
"Why don't you guys hang out with your own bots? This is one on two time with me, Mika and Bulk!" Miko pouted.
As Jack and Raf walked towards them shot's fired front eh ship, they'd seen them. "You there!" A Vehicon shouted as the shots rained down.
"Scrap!"
"Get in now!" Bulkhead had swung around, doors open, as everyone piled in. He quickly drove off, dodging fire, swerving around, and then Sharply turning behind a large boulder.
"Thanks Bulkhead." Jack sighed in relief.
"What are you doing here?" He asked exasperated.
"We were worried about Miko and Mika... where are they?"
Mika and Miko smirked at each other before popping out of the back seat. "What do they look like?"
Jack and Raf screamed, startled before Bulkhead pulled to a stop.
"Everyone out."
As the twins were about to get out, Bulkheads door shut and she fell back into Miko who squeaked at the bumpy ride.
Then... he transformed around them.
"Miko!" She called worried, hugging her to herself and then hugging her twin close for protection.
"Hold on!"
They were semi in place, but their world was tipping in place and they began to feel dizzy.
"Urgh, I'm gunna heave.." Miko groaned.
"Hold it sis." Mika murmured to her as they listened to all the fighting.
To be quite Frank she was feeling queasy too...
"Miko?! Mika?!"
They both heaved.
Miko groaned before knocking on Bulkheads chest and as he opens his chest plating, the twins broke out and panted for air.
"Miko? Mika?"
"I heaved on your floor mats." Miko groans.
"Sorry." Mika murmured, whining because of the nausea.
"Remind my to never do that again."
"You said it." Mika grumbled as Bulkhead set them down.
Suddenly a hatch behind them opens and more cons come out. Miko and Mika made sure to run away from the said cons but unfortunately when one con flew between them Mika had run an opposite way and ended up falling down some sort of hole.
"AH! MiKO!"
"Mika?!"
She slid down the hole and through a shaft, screaming the whole way before landing on some sort of metal desk with a slightly twisted ankle. She panted in her fear before wobbily standing, brushing off her pants and then looking around.
it seemed like some sort of... med bay.
"AH!" She found herself picked up and was soon face to face with a red robot.
"Now who do they have here? Looks like I get a new experiment." He purred darkly.
Ohhh, that voice! if she wasn't so scared she'd melt into putty...
Wait... experiment? What?!
"Sexy voiced con say's what?" She squeaked.
Knockout blinked. "...what?"
In his startled moment of what Mika said, his grip lightened which was enough for Mika to grab her hidden knife in her pocket at stab his hand.
Most likely only feeling like a splinter... Still it seemed to startled him enough to drop her.
"OUCH!" He yelped.
"Wahh!"
*Slam*
"I'm okay..."
He dropped her.
Well... to be fair she DID stab his hand...
Before Mika could run she felt something tugging in her heart, pulling her a certain direction. When she tried to go in that direction she felt herself being captured by some sort of bird bot.
"Ahh thank you Lazerbeak." The con smirked as Mika was being cornered and picked up by the red bot again.
"You'll regret that little femme."
"What is this... parasite Doing on my ship!?" A voice screeched.
"Starscream! I found this little one on my desk."
"Well get rid of it Knockout! if Lord Megatron found it aboard this ship." Starscream shivered.
Beyond Mika's fear of these cons she felt Miko sending tons of courage through their bond and this made Mika feel more and more brave.
And perhaps stupid.
"Haiiiiii Screamy pie." She cooed.
if she could distract them long enough, maybe the bots would get there to save her faster.
His expression was hilarious, if the laughs Knockout and a few Vehicons were giving indicated.
"W-what did you call my!?"
"Screamy pie?"
...
...
...
'Note to self, don't upset Starscream unless you got a bot to hide behind, or else you'll get tied up next to Agent Fowler.' Mika scowled, ignoring the surprised look Fowler kept sending her before listening in on his and Starscreams conversations.
"Welcome, agent Fowler."
"You treat all your guests this nice?"
"Hmhmhm, any friend of the Autobots-"
"Autobot? That one of them coin operated wash my own car places?"
"Oh, so that's how its going to be. Apparently no one has told you, I have no appreciation for human humor." Starscream griped before gesturing a Vehicon forward.
"Make him comfortable."
Mika shut her eye's, trying not to listen as the vehicons roughed him up, it was sickening.
"Tell my the location of the Autobot base!" Starscream demanded after a while.
"No problem. But, I need to ask you something first."
"Yes, I'm listening."
'Oh Screamy your so naive.'
"I got an issue with the customer service around here. Could I speak to a manager?"
Starscream's expression dropped to shocked, confused, annoyance, and fury. "Gah! I make the decisions here! I am in charge!" He threw a royal fit before turning on a Vehicon. "Bring the prod."
"Your not gunna probe his butt are you? Cause if you are, I don't want any nightmares." Mika started, startling the two who forgot she was even there.
'Come on bots I can only distract them for so long...'
"Pitty," Starscream sighed as if disappointed to Fowler before turning to Mika. "Luckily they still have one. More."
She felt his claw go under he chin as he got close, making her gulp in nervousness.
"I-I wont tell you a thing!"
"Hmmhmm Are you sure?" He purred, taking satisfaction in her fear.
She tried to lock away her fear, forcing her mask in place before going blank faced and then grinning.
"Your to close. I don't kiss on the first date buddy." She cooed teasingly causing him to reel back.
Was... was he blushing?
"As if I would ever do such a thing to a disgusting fleshy!"
"Disgusting? But Screamy" She whined. "I showered this morning just for you!"
He blinked once.
Twice.
Then he shook his head and growled.
She liked when he growled, he was kinda cute if you got passed the wanting to kill her part!
"GRRRAA! Autobot base, where is it?!"
"Sure thing Screamy pie."
He twitched, annoyed.
"Right after you eat my star spangled shorts." Fowler piped up.
Having enough Starscream charged up the prod and rammed Fowler with it, taking pleasure in the humans painful scream.
"As I imagined. Energon and human nervous systems do not mix." He then looked to Mika with a sadistic smile.
"Eep ep ep ep!" She pulled a Ratchet, "Now hold on there you shifty seeker."
"Shifty?"
"I just might have some information worth your while. I don't fancy mech's ramming things into me, if you know what I mean."
The mechs in the room blushed. She then noticed movement and was happy to see Arcee positioning herself above them.
She had no idea how she got there but wasn't complaining.
Then there were shouts and noises heard from outside. Frustrated, Starscream made his way to the door before opening it to see a Vehicon.
"Well... What is it?!"
The Vehicon dropped to the floor to reveal Bumblebee and Bulkhead with their guns.
"Hold it!" Bulkhead demanded, Bee beeping in agreement.
"Not so fast!" Just as they pulled their guns out Starscream held a gun to my face.
"BULKHEAD!" Mika squeaked loudly, only to have a Vehicon hit her with the prod causing pain to flood through her. The pain became worse and she felt herself drifting in and out of consciousness.
"Don't move or we'll shoot."
"Go ahead." Starscream purred. "See what happens." He dared as his gun charged up.
Mika passed out before she could hear anything else.
...
...
...
"You, Soldier! Your out of uniform, put on some pants!" This was first thing Mika heard when coming back into the land of the living.
"Ergh..." she grumbled groggily, sitting up and putting her legs to the side of the bed.
Her vision was slightly blurred, before she saw a bridge open and Jack, Miko, and Raf were going through.
She clumsily followed them and landed in a heap on Miko.
"Mika?!" Miko yelped before grinning. "You snuck out, on your own! I'm so proud!"
"You should be resting!" Jack scolded.
"I'm fine. A bit woozy but fine." Mika told them as they made their way into the control room where Raf began typing on a computer.
"Security sure is lax here." Miko commented.
"I'm in." Raf interupted. "So are the Decepticons. Schematics, with the same alien math's they saw on their ship but... this time I can download it."
Raf pulled out a USB stick and pluged it in before typing furiously on the keyboard.
"it's gotta be the space brigde."
"The Decepticons are syncing it to their dishes, but I can sync to them." Raf says as Jack places his hand on the chair.
"Will they know?"
"Even if the Decepticons see that I am in the system, they will have no idea I'm in the house. They're locked on to Cybertron... but not for long."
"Awesome." Miko grinned as the Sattlites moved.
"How did you do that?"
"Years of practice."
"Scrap!" Mika pointed out a camera.
"Just because the camera's on does not mean anyones on them right now." Jack tried to sooth.
"The dishes moved back to cybertron! I'll just move it again."
"What happens when the cons realize their being punked?" Miko asked.
"it's only virtual combat, you know, like online gaming."
"Yeah, what are they gunna do? Their miles away." Mika nodded.
The sound of a click caused them to turn and scream as a large mechanic tenticle came at them, making Mika, Jack, and Miko dodge.
Raf stayed loyaly in his chair, trying to move the dish's.
"Get it!"
The three of them dog piled it, keeping it distracted enough while Raf kept on the computer until he was forced to jump as it destroyed the computer and desk in the process of trying to hit them before knocking them all back and into a wall.
Mika grabbed the axe Miko was about to grab and tackled the thing again, keeping a tight grip and it was suddenly pulling back.
"AHH!"
"Mika!"
Mika found herself face to faceplate with a dark blue/purple bot that had been controlling the tenticles.
Mika gave him a glare, ignoring a feeling in her heart that was pulling towards him. What WAS that feeling? She scowled more before wiggling about, huffing in annoyance before pausing when she noticed the visor on the con light up, showing her reflection. He took a picture of her before studying her farther.
She felt something in her pulse, making her gasp in pain as if a door inside her was ripped open and a poking and prodding feeling was felt.
This definitely was NOT Miko who was doing that, it was something else.
Mika felt fearful of the unknown bond but also very curious.
Distracted from the con, Mika sent back the poke and prodding, confusion lacing through her. The Con before her relaxed his hold from harsh to gentle and a feeling of safety washed over Mika.
This just confused and frustrated her more.
"Mika!" She could hear her twin shout for her as they raced out.
With that Mika stopped poking and prodding the odd feeling and began to struggle as the Con jumped to the roof with her in his grasp.
"MIKO!" Mika cried, fear rising and shoving the comfort feeling out of her.
The con was taking her from her twin!
"HEY! YOU HURT MY TWIN AND I'LL MAKE YOU PAY!" Miko shouted in rage.
'Hang in there Mika!' Miko shouted through the bond. 'No con will take you away from me!"
He looked back and forth between the two before Mika kicked a sensitive wire and forced him to drop her.
"AH!"
"I GOT YOU!"
She crashed into Miko who gladly hugged her twin to her, said twin clung back in fear, glaring at the con before taking a picture of him.
He did the same to all of them before flying off.
"Why'd he leave?" Jack panted as he entered the room.
"Because the dish's are locked onto Cybertron... For good." Raf whispered solemly, feeling like he failed the bots
...
...
...
By the time they got back Mika could hear Optimus talking about Dark energon.
"Ratchet, we must destroy the space bridge! There is enough live Energon coursing through it to acheive detonation, but they lack the firepower to ignite it."
"if I knew how the space bridge was engineered then I might find a technical way of accomplishing that feat." Ratchet said.
"Would Schematics help?" Raf wondered as they walked up, holding a flash drive.
Mika blinked at him, where did he get that?
"...Optimus, I must say that the space bridge is our soul hope of ever returning to Cybertron. Are you certain it's destruction is the only option?" Ratchet asked in dismay.
"I am afraid so."
Mika frowned as she listened to them talking.
Poor cybertronians...
"Then... by all means let us light our darkest hour!"
"These things are getting closer." Agent fowler was suddenly up and about next to them. "That's bad right?"
"Very..." Mika whispered back to him.
"Ratchet we are in position." Arcee interupted over the com.
"Arcee, pay close attention." Ratchet started before informing my where to go and what to do.
"I see it." Chromia, who's been silent, replies.
"Good. To turn all that power against itself, all you need to do is reverse the current." Ratchet keeps informing.
"... Current reversed."
"Yeah!" Fowler cheer's as Ratchet leaves to prepare the ground bridge. "Right?"
They all walk to the railing, nervously waiting for them to return.
The atmosphere was tense as Mika worridly gripped the railing.
"D-Do you think they're..." Raf gulps...
"Five life signals. One very faint."
Jack, Miko and raf looked worried for their guardians. Just then Bulkhead comes in causnig Miko and Mika to cheer. "Bulkhead!"
They both ran and hugged his hand happily.
Next Optimus came through with Chromia. "Optimus! Chromia!" Mika smiled in releif as she ran over and hugged their legs.
Bee came in next and Raf gave a breath of releif while Jack gasped as he spotted Arcee in his arms.
"Arcee." Jack walked over worriedly, her eyes were closed and looked like she was sleeping.
"We lost one this week... By the Allspark don't let it be two." Ratchet worried as he rushed over to check on Arcee's vitals.
Jack placed his hand worridly on Arcee's arm and her hand closed over his as her eyes opened. "Arcee!"
"Jack, really? There are other motorcycles in the world." Arcee teased tiredly.
"But, your my first." Jack smiled back.
"And Megatron?" Ratchet looked to Optimus who closed his eyes for a moment.
"Not even he could of survived ground Zero."
Everyone let out a breath.
"Prime!" Fowler called. "I didn't get to say thank you bots for the save. I owe you one."
He walked to his elevator and before it closed left with one last word. "We all do."
"is this the part where you say good bye-" Miko started.
"-And tell us we need to forget we ever saw you?" Mika asked nervously.
"I don't see why, with the freindly bonds that have already been created." Optimus replies soothingly. "No."
"YEA!"
Mika was then tackled by Miko.
"AGH! MiKO!" Mika laughed before Jack and Raf join in.
"Group hug!"
They're suddenly surround by Bulkheads hand, then Bumblebee and then Arcee. Followed by a hesitant Prime and Chromia.
"Oi! GRUMPY! GET iN HERE!" Mika shouted.
Ratchet hmphed annoyed but one look from the bots made him comply.
