In case anyone is wondering where this is set it is set before the war on Cybertron but I'll change to when it's set during the war on Earth.
"…Minicon connection…"
"… thoughts…"
'…Spark bond...'
"Soundy! Get up your going to be late!" A voice called from downstairs of the metal house, in a room was Soundwave but he didn't have a mask on and can see his sliver optics come online.
"Scrap. What time is it?" Soundwave said but his voice wasn't distorted.
"I don't wanna hear that! Also it's nearly mid-solar cycle!" The same voice called out and like that Soundwave had rushed out of his berth and heading straight downstairs into a area that looked like a kitchen.
"Don't forget your energy Sound." The voice from before called out.
"Thanks bro but please stop calling me Soundy I'm not a little sparkling anymore." Soundwave said
"No can do since I'm oldest." He said.
"No your not we were made at the same time." Soundwave stated before he grabbed a cube of energon and rushed out the door as his visor came down.
"Well I should be going as well I've got work and I'm sure Orion won't be happy that I'm late again." The other voice that said this had entered the kitchen but the appearance of where the voice came from looks almost like Soundwave but instead of having a lithe frame he had a more bulky armoured frame, he also had wings on his back that are a bit bulky thanks to extra armour, other bots would've have mistaken him for Soundwave if it wasn't for his colours being mainly silver with red highlights while Soundwave had just stuck to different shades of purple.
"DJ are you good?" The Soundwave look alike asked a minicon who had speakers on his arms and was black with silver highlights.
"I'm in the groove boss." DJ stated before he transformed and joined with the Soundwaves look alike chest.
"Wingbeat, you good?" He asked this to another minicon but it was a flying one instead who resembled Laserbeak but was just silver with red highlights but it's reply was a sqwak before it joined the look alike's legs giving them the appearance of smaller wings on the back of them.
"And finally Remix How are you doing?" He asked as the minicon came out from a doorway and this minicon had what looked to be a pair of headphones around his neck and what seemed to be a display on his chest.
"Let's get the party started!" Remix exclaimed before climbing up onto the bots shoulder and gave him a pair of headphones.
"Reckless." He said and Remix started to play that song and on the display sound bars had appeared saying that music was playing and he started to leave the house before he grabbed a energy cube and put his visor down, as he was walking down a street he came across a construction site where a big green bot and a blue bot bumped fists before they got back to work, down a different street was a police officer arresting a bot.
"Morning RC." He called out getting the femmes attention.
"Morning." She simply said before getting on with her job, after that he ran into a little kid who was playing outside a medical store well what he considered a little kid since he was young but he was up to the his waist in height.
"Woah there Bee!" He exclaimed as the kid wasn't paying attention and ran right into his leg and he stumbled back.
"S-sorry mister." He said before he looked up and saw who he bumped into.
"Hey I know you. Can I play with your minicons?" Bee asked but he just shooked his head.
"Sorry little guy but I'm very busy today but when I come by later you can. Tell me is the ol' hatchet in?" He asked and Bee nodded his head."Cheers kid."
"Would you stop calling me kid I'm nearly at the end of my sparkling stage!" Bee angrily shouted out but he just carried inside.
"Yo hatchet! You in here?" He called out but what he got instead was a wrench flying towards him but he just dodge it next was a red and silver bot who came walking out from nowhere.
"I thought I knew that voice from anywhere." The bot said.
"How you doing Knockout?" He asked.
"Oh I'm just dandy, so what do you need grumpy bot for anyway." Knockout asked.
"I was wondering if he finished what I asked him." He said.
"Yes it is finished but what you asked about the other thing the best I can do is make them smaller that's it." Said a voice and it belonged to Ratchet as he came out from the back of the store carrying five items which looked to be some kind of jewellery.
"Well all I can ask for is the best Ratchet." He said before handing over some credits.
"You never told me why You wanted these." Ratchet said as he handed them over letting the bot and his three minicons pick out the ones they wanted while he put the extra one in his sub-space compartment.
"And its going to remain like that Ratchet even though I do count you as a friend." He said before leaving.
"Stay safe." He called out as the door shut behind him and before he knew long he had made it to Iacons hall of records.
"Morning Ariel." He greeted.
"Your late." She said.
"What nah, I'm not late I'm just early for my next shift." He joked as Remix put the headphones away.
"Just hurry up and get to work." Ariel said.
"Sure thing." He said before picking up some data-pads with his cables that came out of his back and started to put them back on the correct shelves as did his minicons and sometimes helped people who were looking for the correct data-pads, not only that but sometimes he would even help archive events.
"Woah!" He heard from behind and expertly caught the bot with his cables as they nearly tripped over one of his minicons.
"You should watch where your going." He said as he turned around to see a pink and white femme who is holding a stack of data-pads.
"Oh my, that was a close one." She spoke with a soft voice that had made his spark skip a beat.
"Do you need any help?" He asked as he got the femme back on to her pedes.
"No thank you but thanks for catching me." She said and he caught a glimpse at her optics being the colour of cerulean blue mixed with purple.
"No problem, I'm used to bots tripping over my minicons." He said rubbing the back of his neck cables as his cables went back into place while his minicons just went back to work.
"These cute fellas are your's? I didn't know that and it seems they can get things done." She said as Dj threw up a data-pad with Wingbeat catching it and placed it in its correct place."And well coordinated." She said.
"Well it did take us a few tries to get it right but it was worth it in the end, ain't that right guys?" He asked and got a chorus of yes from them as they carried on before he realised something."I never did get your designation." He said which she had blushed energon blue in embarrassment.
"Oh my bad its Melody." Melody said as she put out her servo in greeting.
"Well I can see why your called that. I'm SoundBlaster." SoundBlaster as he shook her servo.
"Wait SoundBlaster as in Soundwaves brother?" She asked which got his attention.
"What did he do this time?" SB asked.
"Me and my friends saw him at a bar with a silver mech and a red and blue mech." She said and that got SB attention even more.
"Hold on a astro-sec. Hey Ariel! Do you know where Orion Pax is?" SB called over to Ariel who looked to be thinking.
"I think he said he was going to meet a friend at the 'drunken symbiot'." She called back.
"No wonder why I didn't see him this solar-cycle. Anyway you were saying?" SB questioned.
"No biggie, well he started to talk to us before his other two friends came over as well but they weren't drunk. I think they were trying to get our comm link number but since were sisters we didn't like any of them since the silver mech was too brutish like as he kept his body riddle with battle scars the red and blue one had opted to stay out and your brother was the one who we liked the most and not to sound too mean or that but he seemed way too creepy for us." Melody explained and that had made SB face-palmed.
"I told him not to stick with different shades of purple, why doesn't he listen to me." SB said as he shook his head."When I get the chance I'm going to take him to Knockout to change his colours. Well at least tell me you let him down gently?" SB asked.
"We did since we knew he was a nice bot but looked too creepy for our liking." She said and started to look SB up and down seeming to be inspecting him."In fact I wonder if my sisters…" She said to herself.
"Well at least allow me to make up for it?" SB asked with a smile.
"If anyone should make up for the mistake it should be us since I nearly landed on one of your minicons." Melody stated.
"Are you sure?" SB asked wanting to know he wouldn't be taken advantage of Melody.
"I'm sure, now come on I'm sure my sisters would like to meet you." Melody insisted and literally started to try and drag SB out of the hall of records.
"Alright I'm going. Cya next solar-cycle Ariel!"SB called out as his minicons raced after him with Ariel looking over the front desk watching him get dragged out by a femme.
"What in the name of Primus." She simply said not even bothering to comprehend why he was being dragged away by a femme bot but SoundBlaster never got the chance to meet Melody's sisters as he and Melody were walking down a street in Iacon and as he and Melody were right next to a space-bridge transport centre a bomb had went off sending him and Melody right into one and out of fright SB had something he didn't want to and that was activating his personal space-bridge ability and being so close to so many space-briges it had mixed up the coordinates he was thinking of and in doing so he, his minicons and Melody had been sent to Earth but they had landed in a military base where soldiers had started to surround them.
"Well that's how we ended up on Earth." SB thought as he placed some books on a shelf.
"Thanks Jack." A kid said.
"No problem." 'Jack' said. "I hate that name 'cause its not my name." SB thought with disgust because he hated using a name that isn't his.
"Jack your shift is over." A women said at the front desk.
"Alright then." SB said before he left the library."I also forgot to mention I had to use the pretender gear that Ratchet made to hide amongst the humans. Its just another lie, I hate it." SB thought as he had raven hair and was wearing LED googles and a half mask as it was a way to hide his face if he couldn't use his visor while in pretender mode not only that he was wearing a silver and red highlighted biker jacket.
"Hey boss." And SB looked to see DJ, Remix and Wingbeat waiting for him.
"Sup guys." SB said and they started to follow after him.
"Where we heading?" DJ asked but their looks remained the same like Ratchet said the Pretender gear had only made them smaller and if Remix or DJ were their normal size they would be bigger than what SB height is now.
"Were going to check on Melody since I'm the one who got us into this mess I'm taking responsibility for the situation were in." SB said to them as Wingbeat sat on his shoulder.
"Hey boss did you get the chance to listen to the music this planet has? Some of it is actually good." Remix asked trying to change the subject a bit.
"I've never got the time to Remix, been busy dealing with the government and watching our backs." SB said as he noticed a black SUV with black tinted windows.
"Hey you have to pay for that!" A women voice shouted from a fast food restaurant.
"Hey Melody, did another customer stole the food again?" SB asked as the women in the drive through window turned to look at him as her pink hair was tied up.
"Yup I tell you these natives have no manners, they are so brutish and this 'food' its so disgusting." Melody complained to SB as he, Remix and DJ sat on the ground.
"I know what you mean at least the library is decent enough but I can't take Remix, DJ and Wingbeat in with me, which annoys me all because there robots and might damage the books since their made of paper. This planet and its frailness." SB said with annoyance as his minicons all held a expression of annoyance as well.
"Well my shift is over so why don't we head out into the desert to 'stretch' our legs a bit?" Melody suggested and that got SB in the mood and his minicons as well.
"That's fine by me." SB happily said before he got up and went around to the entrance of the fast food joint but his radar had picked up four energon signals.
"Hey boss I got this 'weird feeling'." DJ said as he knew what SB knew as he spotted a blue and pink highlighted bike parked in one of the spaces and three identical cars had drove by but at a slow pace as if they were looking for something... or someone.
"Hey Jack, is that yours?" SB heard from his left and he turned to find out it was just the annoying bitch sierra and her friend.
"Yes it is and in fact I'm taking her home." SB said as he got on the bike right as Melody came out and Jacks LED googles did the middle finger gesture to Sierra and the only reason she chose to try and speak to him is because the fact is he looked like a 17 year old teen and looked cool.
"Melody come on we don't have all day." SB called out right as two of the minicons got smaller so they can fit in on of SB's pockets but Wingbeat had chosen to sit right in front of SB.
"Sure thing, Sierra." Melody said as she got on behind SB and in a disgusted voice since she figured Sierra to be one of those girls who would stay for a one night stand.
"Yo Remix start the beat." SB said and like that Remix started to play music before SB had started the engine and drove out of the parking lot after he done a donut to leave smoke in Sierras and her friends face and right at the time the same three cars had came around the corner and started chasing after them.
"Finally! Someone who wants a fight!" SB shouted excitedly at being chased by the three energon signals.
"Wingbeat why don't you show them how to beat it." SB said and like that Wingbeat had took off, getting behind the three cars but it looked like nothing was happening and before they knew it the purple car in the back started to swerve out of control and slammed itself straight into a wall while the other two carried on chasing them.
"Good going Wingbeat." SB said through a connection with his minicon as it sat in its place before dealing with one of the cars.
"Jack what did you do that for?" Melody asked.
"Because Melody those aren't normal cars and this Bike isn't normal either am I right?" SB asked as he spotted the rear view mirrors move on their own looking at him.
"How did you know?" A female voice said coming from the bike surprising Melody a lot.
"First I'll tell you later, second is that you Arcee?" SB and Melody said the last bit at the same time surprising the bike now.
"How do you know my name?" Arcee said as they drove down a alley way with two of the cars still following them.
"I said later." SB said as he jumped off the bike and running down a different alley way making one of the cars chase after him while the second one had gone after Arcee, Melody and Wingbeat.
"Remix do your thing and mix up the beat." SB said and like that the minicon had jumped out of his pocket, changed his size, transform his arms into what looked to be pillars that pounded into the ground causing the tarmac to rise up and down making it impossible for something to drive on it.
"I hope you get scrapped fool!" Remix shouted before he went back to being in SB pocket before he carried on running down the allay ways taking different turns here and three before he came out on to the main road right as Arcee, Melody and Wingbeat stopped right in front of him.
"Hop on!" Arcee said which he didn't argue there, hopping on one of the cars was following him before the other two had rejoined the first on the road chasing Arcee again but this time they also started to fire at them and before long they were on the highway, when SB looked behind he saw a muscle car sporting yellow with a black stripe which had knocked the first car out of its way and stopped the other purple cars from getting in front of him.
"Friend of yours?" SB asked which also made Melody turn around to see what he meant.
"Family." Arcee corrected.
"Wait Boss is that little Bee?" DJ asked when he poked his head out of the pocket to look behind.
"Never mind that DJ." SB said as Arcee took a ramp off the highway that had landed them in a drainage ditch, SB and Melody had gotten off Arcee and had ran towards a little kid who had spotted them when they landed.
"Hey kid what are you doing here?" SB asked.
"Not much really but-" The kid nether got the chance to finish as the three cars had jumped down into the drainage ditch and did what the kid thought was never possible and that was transforming into three identical robots.
"Melody." SB said getting her attention."Take it off." SB ordered which got her very happy as she took off a necklace and handed it to SB, a few minute later when Arcee was fighting the drones one of them had gotten knocked back by someone else but she wasn't very worried at the moment until she had got knocked down by one of the drones while the mystery someone continued to fight the drones, next came Bee who had crushed the kids toy car, a alright from the kid before he got knocked down then came a big green bot who had scared off the last surviving drone since the other two were killed by the mystery bot and Arcee.
"I knew training would come in handy but Primus I didn't expect this." The mystery bot said getting the attention of the other three bots who had turned to find a pink and white femme that resembles Arcee in some ways.
"Melody?!" Arcee exclaimed which got Melody to turn to look at her.
"Cee Cee!" Melody exclaimed before tackling Arcee down on to the ground as Melody was giggling like a school girl.
"Argh when I thought you was dead I could be stopped calling by that nickname." Arcee groaned.
"What's wrong with Cee Cee? I thought you liked it." Melody said.
"Mind telling us who the girlfriend is?" The big green bot asked.
"Bulk, Bee this my sister Melody." Arcee introduced the two to her sister.
"No wonder why she's called Melody." Bulk said as he heard Melody's voice.
"Well sorry to disappoint you big fella but you aren't my type." Melody said with a giggle as she already knew who her type was and when she looked for SB he wasn't there nor was the kid they had found. "Must've taken him to a safe place." Melody thought as the four carried on with their talk, Jack or SoundBlaster was already walking with Raf who had given his name to Jack since Raf was the kid from earlier who got Jack to help him put the books away he had burrowed from the library.
"I see ya tomorrow Raf and stay out of trouble." Jack said.
A day later.
SoundBlaster had walked out of the high school and since his age his human form was he had to attend high school.
"I fragging hate this place." He whispered to himself and then he spotted Raf by a tree that was next to the road.
"Hey Raf did ya stay out of trouble?" Jack asked while Raf had just chuckled.
"You bet but listen about what happened yesterday." Raf was going to say but Jack had cut him off.
"Yesterday? I dunno what happened that day." Jack said playing dumbly as another black SUV had drove by and it had black tinted windows which had made Jack grumble to himself.
"Hey boss, what's planned for today?" Remix asked as he and DJ walked up beside him while Wingbeat sat on his shoulder.
"Cool! Did you make these guys?" Raf asked as he started to inspect all three of the minicons but also made them very uncomfortable.
"Hey Raf could you not? They do have emotions as well." Jack said and when Raf looked at the minicons again he could see they were very uncomfortable.
"Oh I'm sorry." Raf apologised and after that the same muscle car from before had drove right up beside the road, honked its horn and opened the door.
"It wants us to get in." Jack said acting dumb still as his minicons knew what he was doing.
"No just me and the three minicons, whatever those are." Raf said but he didn't realise that the three minicons were the three robots beside Jack.
"Alright you heard him guys." Jack said giving his minicons the signal to get in Bee's alt mode as did Raf and they had taken off down the road which then Jack spotted the same bike from before.
"Scrap." He cursed and started to walk away from the high school and like that the bike had started to follow him and unknowingly a human girl had followed the bike as well, Jack had turned into a alley way and the bike did the same.
"What do you want?" Jack asked as he wanted to get to the point.
"The safety of you is top priority to Optimus Prime so he requests your presence." Arcee said.
"No thanks I'm good and just so you know I don't need talking vehicles following me around." Jack said and started to walk away and Arcee transformed.
"Look, Jack is it? Your safety still stands even if those minicons can protect you they can't protect you forever. Which is why Optimus Prime has requested for you." Arcee said.
"Optimus who?" Jack said as he didn't know that a new prime had been anointed.
"And because your one of the few, the only few who have ever seen us." Arcee said and at that point a different voice had butted into the conversation.
"Dude what are you waiting for? Go with!" A female voice exclaimed and the two looked where they came from to see a girl wearing a punk rock outfit leaning around the corner.
"Scrap." They both cursed and liked that the three were out on the road outside the town jasper following behind Bee and the girl had screamed a "woohoo" in Jacks ears.
"Hey my ears are bleeding now so could you stop?!" Jack exclaimed as he really hated her voice."And why did we take her with us?" Jack asked.
"Rules." Arcee said as she didn't like this outcome either as they to a T-junction but they had drove forward straight towards a cliff with secret doors opening and they drove in and went up what was the entry ramp and entered the main hub of the secret base and as soon as Raf laid his eyes on a different bot.
"IS THAT YOU OL' HATCHET!?" Two of the minicons practically screamed as they jumped out of Bee's alt mode and that had gotten the bots attention as he looked to see who had called him by his nickname and was prepared to throw a wrench at who it was.
"For the last time its Ratchet not Hatchet." He said as he threw the wrench at the two minicons and hit them right in the head knocking them out as Wingbeat was flying around them, making a sound of laughter as did everyone else did.
"I guess Ratchet needs to learn how to take a joke." Melody said as she and the green bot had walked into the main hub.
"It would be nice if ol' docbot did." the green bot agreed before earning a wrench to the helm.
"I heard that." Ratchet said. "Anyway I thought there was two." Ratchet said as he saw three humans.
"Well Ratchet haven't you heard, Humans multiply." Both Jack and Arcee said at the same time which earned a puking noise from the girl before she ran up to the green bot and started to fire question after question leaving the poor guy confused on what to do.
"So if you guys are robots who made you?" Raf asked and at that moment the two minicons had woken up.
"Made us? You got be joking." One of them said."Nobody made us little man." The other said as they took off the pretender gear and grew back to their original size.
"Wait a minute where did you get those?" Ratchet asked as he looked at the two minicons.
"Where do you think lug nuts." One said."We got them from you." The other said and that got Ratchet to face palm.
"Now I know why you look so familiar even you Wingbeat." Ratchet said and Wingbeat did the same as the other two minicons did growing back to it's original size and with some very heavy foot steps a big red, blue and silver bot had stepped out from one of the hallways.
"As the two minicons said we weren't made but we are autonomous robotic organisms from the planet Cybertron also known as Autobots." The bot said in his deep baritone voice.
"Why are you here?" Jack asked since Cybertronians should be on Cybertron not on Earth.
"To protect your planet from the Decepticon's." He answered but that only gave Jack more questions.
"The jokers who tried to bump us off last night." Arcee explained.
"Okay, now why are they here?" Jack asked and that got the big bot to kneel down to be eye to optic level.
"A fair question Jack, in part they are here because our planet is uninhabitable. Ravaged centuries of civil war." He explained but Jack he didn't believe his audio receptors as if he was told Soundwave had been killed along with Laserbeak.
"Why were you fighting a war?" Raf asked.
"Foremost over the control of our worlds supply of energon, the fuel and life-blood of Autobots and Decepticons alike, The combat was fierce and endured for centuries. In the beginning I fought alongside the one whom I considered a brother but in war ideals can be corrupted and it was thus that Megatron lost his way." He was explaining when the girl had done a fake yawn.
"Is there going to be a quiz?" She jokingly asked but Jack still couldn't believe his audio receptors.
"So what does Megatron or this have to do with us?" Raf asked.
"Megatron has not been seen nor heard from for some time but if his return is imminent as I fear then his return could be catastrophic." He stated."And now that you now know of our existence I fear as of last night the Decepticons know of yours." He said.
"Got it so if we spot any strange vehicles call 9-1-1, can we go now?" Jack asked as he didn't want to be here, he only wanted be on Cybertron with his brother.
"Are you kidding me? I'm living a dream in bot-swana and I'm not letting you or anyone else to shatter it mister library boy." The girl said.
"Library boy? Really is that the best you can do?" Jack asked as if taunting her to do her worst which had turned out to be a punch to the gut but it had only hurt her hand.
"Jesus christ! Is your stomach made out of a steel keg or something?" She questioned as she tried her best to make her hand stop hurting.
"That'll teach her good won't it Remix?" DJ asked as him and Remix started to laugh from an area where humans would be able to stay out of the way of the Cybertronians safely.
"Remix? ain't you that minicon who hangs around Soundwave?" The green bot asked.
"Wrong one lug nut." DJ said which got him thinking.
"Wait theres more than one?" He asked.
"You got that right rust brains." Remix stated.
"I always thought there was one not two." he said now he was a bit confused.
"Bulkhead even I knew there was two." Arcee said.
"Then how did you tell the difference?" Bulk asked.
"One was silver with red highlights and was more bulky than the lithe one who was using different shades of purple." Arcee said and Bulk nodded his head in understanding.
"Now that's aside, its best that you three remain under our watch at least until we can determine our enemies intention." The big bot said.
"Optimus with all due respect the human children are in as much here as anywhere." Ratchet said but what he didn't realise was that Jack was already up by his two minicons.
"Children. them two yeah, me? Nah." Jack said.
"They have no protective shell, if they get underfoot they'll go squish." Just emphasise his point he stomped his foot.
"Then for the time being Ratchet, we must watch where we step." Optimus said right before green alarms had blared.
"Let me guess someone else is here and that someone is government liaison. Am I correct?" Jack asked over the sound of the alarms.
"That is correct but how did you know that?" Bumblebee had beeped and whirred.
"Yo jacky he said yeah and did you know that?" Remix asked playing dumb a bit.
"Giant transforming robots gives it all away my dear friend." Jack said.
"Its agent Fowler." Ratchet said.
"Well little kiddes time you go hide." Jack said but remained where he was.
"Why does he not get too hide?" The girl whined but still followed Raf to where they were hiding underneath the stairs right as the elevator doors open.
"Seven wrecks, 34 fender benders, a three hour traffic jam and on a particular note numerous reports of a speeding motorcycle of unknown make and a black-" Fowler was saying before spotting 'Jack'.
"I'm not even going to bother with you 'Jackson' and why the hell aren't you back in the house we gave you?" Fowler asked as the bots turned to look at Jack.
"I dunno maybe because I was getting shot at by some purple cars. Oh, don't even start on the property damage I caused because I can hardly give a scrap about it." Jack said earning him even more suspicious gazes.
"You caused property damage? Greet even more paper work for me, you guys sure do love giving me more work." Fowler grumbled.
"Hey when your getting our aft chased by some evil robots who are shooting at then you can come complain about it to me." Jack said.
"Their back? jesus christ wearing a kilt why didn't anybody tell me?" Fowler questioned out loud while the girl and Raf were snickering in quietness.
"Indeed they are and we have the situation under control." Optimus said.
"I sure bet you do prime but its time the pentagon woke up." Fowler said.
"It would be wise if you do not as we are and possibly the only defence you have against the Decepticons threat." Optimus said as the two argued.
"Says you." Fowler said daring the prime.
"Hey fleshy," Bulk said getting Fowlers attention." Did anyone get splattered on that three-way? Team prime knows when to use force." He said as he ripped a piece of machinery off. "And how much to use." He said and destroyed the machinery.
"BULKHEAD I NEEDED THAT!" Ratchet yelled and the minicons had started barking with laughter.
"ENOUGH!" Optimus ordered and the minicons had stopped."Military involvement will only result in catastrophe, perhaps you can condone wide spread human casualty agent Fowler, I however cannot." Optimus said.
"Then do us both a favour and handle this prime under the radar." Fowler said as he got back into the elevator."Or I will." He said with the door closing.
"Pretty big bearings for a human." Bulk said.
"He's got some bearings but not big enough for the ladies I bet." Jack joked and that got him, his minicons and Bulk laughing.
"I like this human." Bulk happily exclaimed.
"Yo yo Bulk, agent little man only wanted to see this planet being safe." Remix stated.
"Blasted Earth tech!" Ratchet exclaimed.
"Ah come on Hatchet I've been stuck on this planet for some time it can't be that bad." Melody said.
"Well I've been using this inferior technology for some time and are by far ancient in human terms." Ratchet argued.
"By what era he means its the cold war since this is a nuclear missile silo." Jack stated for everyone.
"What seems to be the problem Ratchet?" Optimus asked since he wanted to find out the origin of the problem.
"Cliffjumpers life signal had popped back online." Ratchet replied.
"Who's Cliffjumper?" The girl asked.
"How is that possible?" Optimus questioned.
"It isn't, just another bug the systems choked full of them." Ratchet stated.
"If there's any chance Cliff is alive." Arcee said with hopefulness in her voice.
"Ratchet, prepare sick-bay we may need it." Optimus right as the girl called out to him.
"Hey what can we do?" She asked.
"Remain with Ratchet." Optimus said instantly crushing the girls dreams of joining them on the mission while also destroying Ratchets peacefulness.
"DJ, Remix." Jack called out to them and they knew what to do instantly and so they jumped off the platform and joined up with Melody who was tagging along with them and she turned to see Jack nod at her before he went walking off without anyone knowing.
"Autobots, roll out!" Optimus ordered and they transformed driving into a green vortex that had been opened in a long tunnel disappearing from sight as it shut off.
"What just happened?" Raf asked.
"I transported them to the designated coordinates via the ground-bridge." Ratchet explained as if it was child's play.
"What's that?" The girl asked.
"A scale down version of space-bridge technology, since we don't have the means or the energon required for intergalactic travel." Ratchet stated.
"That means your stuck here." The girl said.
"With the likes of you yes. But I constructed the ground-bridge to enable travel from here to anywhere on your planet." Ratchet said with pride.
"Woah. Does it work for humans?" Raf asked.
"Naturally." Ratchet said.
"You mean I could just zip on over and visit my parents in Tokyo?" The girl asked.
"Within moments. In fact allow me to send you there immediately all…" Ratchet was saying before he couldn't find the 'third human'.
"Wait a nano click. Wheres the other one?" He asked which had got them to look around for Jack but couldn't find him. In the energon mine where Team Prime are fighting the Decepticons, Arcee had found Cliffjumpers body but found it too be in two separate pieces and was acting like an animal and before long the two minicons Remix and DJ had grabbed each piece and jumped off the platform she was on and it had started to collapse and when Arcee looked over the edge she had saw the minicons go right into a bridge but she wash't going to lose the chance at possible bring him back and so she jumped in after Cliff and found herself in a very dark lit room while the Cliff she knew was laying on the table pinned down by two cables that had a silver bio-lights running along them.
"Show yourself!" Arcee ordered and like that SoundBlaster had stepped into the light but the cables remained where they were but he didn't stop there e carried on getting closer till his visor was right in her face.
"Leave." A voice said as it was a distortion of Optimus, Ratchets and Bulkheads voice right as a bridge opened up behind her he walked forward making her walk back into it.
"Not a word." It said right as the bridge closed leaving Arcee in the main hub of the base right as the rest of the team got back with an energon explosion right behind but thankfully it was cut off when Ratchet closed the ground-bridge.
"Arcee? What are you doing back here?" Melody asked as she thought Arcee was with them and got back to the base before them.
"I jumped in after Cliff's body was taken away by them two minicons only to find the other Sound." Arcee said now getting the attention Optimus and the others.
"What do you mean Sound?" Optimus inquired.
"The Sound brothers Optimus. I mean SoundBlaster is alive." Arcee explained shocking them well Melody had faked it.
"It can't be. SoundBlaster was in the bombing that Melody was in and she didn't see who had saved her and the minicons." Ratchet said.
"Well Ratchet I'm pretty sure my optics are working, so I do know what I saw." SHe said before tumbling over to a crate to support her weight and Ratchet had rushed over and started to examine her and found something on her servo.
"Decontamination bath, now!" Ratchet ordered and Arcee went to go do just that as Ratchet went back to his lab to examine the strange substance he found.
"Hey Optimus, I don't want to sound rude or that but no bars." Raf said as he checked his phone.
"A security precaution, the silo walls isolate all radio waves." Optimus explained.
"Well I'm sure mister goody two shoes here doesn't call his mom then the police would be out looking for him." The girl said.
"Have you broken the law?" Optimus inquired as he looked at Raf with critical optics.
"No, no its after 10pm which means I broke curfew my mom set." Raf explained.
"Earth customs, I hadn't considered." Optimus said in thought.
"But the issue of your safety remain. Bulkhead accompany miss…" Optimus was saying but they nether got the girls name.
"Oh my names Miko." Miko said.
"Accompany Miko home." Optimus was saying.
"Sweet my host parents are going to freak!" Miko exclaimed in excitement.
"Maintain surveillance in vehicle mode." Optimus continued.
"Curb side duty got it." Bulkhead said.
"Bumblebee You'll watch over Raf." Optimus stated and Bee looked at Raf who smiled at him.
"Ratchet." Optimus was going to say.
"Busy." Ratchet said interrupting Optimus.
"Arcee and Melody you'll accompany…" Optimus was saying before he found out the third human was gone.
"Jack." Optimus finished.
"Ratchet where is Jack?" Optimus asked.
"Well, you see he disappeared when you went through the ground-bridge and I checked its logs to see how many human and Cybertronian life signals went through only to find no human and seven Cybertronian life signals." Ratchet explained.
"So you lost a human?"Arcee deadpanned.
"…Yes." Ratchet said.
"Ah don't worry about him." Remix said in a dismissive tone.
"Why's that?" Arcee asked with a glare.
"Well…" They drawled out while Wingbeat who perched himself on Melody's shoulder strut had covered his head with one wing and started to shake it.
"Alright Minicons, spill it who s the third human?" Arcee questioned and they took a gulp.
"He's name is Jackson Darby or better yet in Cybertornian… SoundBlaster." They both said shocking everyone in the room and in the room where SoundBlaster is he was draining out the dark liquid from Cliff's body and forcing in energon which was combating the purple liquid while he welded the other half back and repaired the hole in chassis.
