A/N: Wow I am so sorry to those who have been waiting so long for the next instalment of this fic. Thank you to those that have reviewed, liked and followed, despite me being such a lazy bum, still working out how to reply to reviews but they are read, considered and awesome. Haven't had much inspiration and sort of forgot where I was going with this fic, but never fear inspiration hath struck again and I am back on track with what's going to happen now. I plan to have 10 chapters in total and will hopefully keep your fingers crossed update weekly at least to get this finished. Once again apologies and on with the fic.

Previously on Cube:

Sunstreaker left in huff grumbling under his metaphorical breath while Sideswipe and Bumblebee waved excitedly promising to be back in a soon as they were allowed, before filing out after the irritated bot. Mikey waved after them before turning his body towards the medic.

"So is this going to hurt?"

"Not at all Mikey, I'm just going to scan your shell while we wait for Optimus to get back with the telecommunications device. I just need you to sit still."

Right sit still, if I can't do it for my brothers what makes you think I can do it for you. On second thought, unlike my brothers he is a gigantic robot and he has an equally big wrench… lets sit still. Mikey put a thumb up silently mouth shut tightly.

Currently on Cube:

Mikey sat still for a few minutes before starting to fidget, his left leg shifting up and down slightly as the large medicalbot scanned him with large gun like laser.

"Mikey…" Ratchet warned

"Sorry dude not much for sitting still." Spread his hands out in front of himself and shrugged sheepishly

"If you can hold still for just another minute I shall be done"

Mikey held him hands on his knees and stilled his shaking leg. A minute passed before he finally heard Ratchet say the magic words.

"Done you can fidget now if you must. I'm going to input this into my data banks and see what we've got. Optimus should be here any moment with your telecommunication device you asked for.'

The large doors swished as if hearing Ratchet's sentiments, allowing Optimus inside the medical bay, hand held our gingerly in front of him. Behind the entering bot just outside the doors, three curious bot heads peered in curiously as they shut. Speak of the Devil Mikey thought.

"Michaelangelo, I have returned with the telecommunication device you required to call your brothers." Optimus held his hand out, the phone dwarfed in his hand.

"Sweet dude" Mikey grabbed the phone and dialled his Leo's shell cell.

Ring.

Ring.

Ring

"Hello!" Leo's voice answered.

"Leo, dude its Mikey. I…" Mikey started.

"Mikey!" Leo interrupted, Donnie and Raph's voiced echoed similarly in the background. "Mikey are you ok? Are you hurt? Where are you? Are you hurt?!"

"Dude, dude, chillout I'm fine… mostly."

"What do you mean 'mostly' Mike?" the protective older brother exclaimed.

"Few bumps and bruises, cuts and possiblebrokenankleorleg" Mikey said the last bit fast.

"What Mi…"

"Dude you can get over protective when you get here"

"Get where Mike?"

"That's actually a really good question. I'll get you the address. Hold on a sec."

"Wait from who? Mike?"

Mikey ignored the frantic shouts of his brother with an eyeroll they can do the whole protective stuff when they got her.

"Yo, Optimus, Ratchet. What's address this joint?" Mikey looked up at the waiting Autobots.

Optimus rattled off the address, which Mikey repeated to Leo, quickly adding in the Autobots and getting disbelieving sounds.

"See you when you get here dudes" Mikey hung up the phone. "They should be here in a couple of hours. Now let's get down to breadcrumbs dudes why have I got a cube on attached to me shell, it's totally not in this season"

Ratchet spoke up "My scans indicate that it has attached itself to a metal circuit plate in your shell."

Mikey looked him dumbfounded and in a small voice said "But I don't have a metal circuit plate thingy in my shell. Do I?" What the Shell?

"According to my scans you do. Would your brother's perhaps know more about it. I think perhaps during your brief time with Starscream activated it which allowed it to attach itself."

"My brothers might know something more but we will have to wait for them to get here." Mikey felt shell-shocked. Was his family keeping a secret from him?

"Mikey is looking a paler green than normal perhaps we should wait for his brothers to get here before delving further into this mystery and let him rest."

Ratchet nodded in agreement. Mikey didn't protest, he was quite tired now that he thought about it, as he was gently lifted and placed on a smaller bed reserved for humans he distantly noticed.

"Let me know when Michaelangelo's brothers get here Ratchet" Optimus quietly exited, well as quietly as a giant robot could. Greeting the younger bots outside and explaining the situation to them.

The lights dimmed and Ratchet reverting back to his ambulance form was the last thing Mikey saw which was wicked as hell as he drifted off to sleep, dreaming of Autobots and riding them into battle against the Decepticon Starscream.
