Hey my peoples, I'm back this time with a Transformers Prime story. I had posted that I had some ideas on the forum. Now it's time to make good on what I said.

Disclaimer: I in no way shape or form do I own transformers Prime or its characters.

Hidden Danger

Pt 1: The News

The mood of the Autobot base was tense, but all was quiet. The news they just received from Agent Fowler was very hard to process.

"There was a shooting at Jasper High, 20 people are hurt, 7 are dead and the assailant is in police custody."

"What of Jack, Miko and Rafael?" asked Optimus

Agent Fowler took a deep breath and sighed before he continued.

"Jack was shot in the shoulder, Rafael is ok so he was sent home, Miko….."

"What, Tell me Fowler" Bulkhead Shouted "She's Dead isn't she"

"No thankfully however, she was hit twice in the chest. Right now she's in surgery at Jasper General, Critical last time I checked."

"And the Assailant?"

"He went to say that he never meant to hurt Miko or anyone else, only the ones that tormented him ever day. This kid wasn't what you call the 'Cool Kid' in school. His family moved from place to place because of work and him being the constant new kid only made things worse. "

"So he was picked on for all that time, and now this what did his family had to say?" asked Arcee

"His mother didn't say much, to stunned to believe that her son was capable of this. His father on the other hand is a piece of work, he actually condoned this. He said that it was about time he stood up for himself and stopped being a wimp."

"Some father figure this human is." said Ratchet with disgust

"Sadly this is becoming a common occurrence in our nations school systems."

"Students bringing weapons to deal with there bulling problems?" asked Arcee

"That and worse, sometimes the student ends up taking their own life."

Bumblebee beeps and chirps at this news.

"What did he say?" asked fowler

"He asked if it was ok to go and see Rafael to insure that he is alright?"

"You might have to wait on that, his mom as well as his family is all there if a yellow muscle car shows up there might be an issue."

Bumblebee chirps sadly but nods in agreement.

I gotta go, I'll keep you posted on both Jack and Miko's conditions and when you can see them."

"Thank you agent Fowler." said Optimus

After he left the base fell silent once again, after a couple of minutes a loud Bang rang out startling the others. They all looked to see Bulkhead in a jab position with his servo in the wall through a piece of machinery that was Ratchet's.

"Bulkhead, I needed that!"

"Bulkhead, I don't think raging against another machine is gonna make things better." said Arcee

"I know that!"

Bumblebee beeps "did it make you feel any better?"

"No it didn't, I feel like I failed Miko."

"How did you fail? We didn't see this coming." said Ratchet

"Exactly, we didn't"

"Bulkhead due to our limitations we cannot be in school with them." said Optimus

"Then what good are we as guardians? As Autobots we can protect them from 'Cons' and Mech. But when that threat is a fellow student we're useless." Bulkhead said before he transforms and leaves.

Arcee was about to follow but is stopped by Optimus

"Give him time Arcee, he knows that this is a fight that Miko has to do on her own."

A/N: Stay tuned for part 2,
