Beyond Belief
By SMYGO4EVA
Miko knew reality, and she knew fantasy. When she grew up back in Tokyo, she stopped believing in magic. It's what you do, when you lose your baby teeth and what childhood you had left. All for the sake of getting good grades and doing something in her life besides jam to the cool American rock and watch dune bashings.
But there are those times when all rationality leaves you, when the only option is to scream at a world gone mad and disordered. When she met Bulkhead and the other Autobots, it all seemed like a dream that she never wanted to wake up from, soon enough it was one that became a nightmare.
When she and Bulkhead were trapped in the cave and air was becoming scarce. When Bulkhead was injured and was almost never to recover and fully function again. When she was put in danger, all because she was merely a human for the Decepticons to capture and trample, Earth in the balance, and she was for Bulkhead to protect from harm.
In that moment, Miko tore magic out of thin air with her teeth. She narrowed her eyes in the face of danger, donned the Apex Armor, and fought. The unfading memories were what kept her in place, what kept her from losing hope, from losing Bulkhead for good.
