The tsunami of truth chapter three
Japan: At the source of the energon signal
"Oh my primus, it's Miko she was the source of the energon signal." Arcee spoke out in complete horror at their discovery. They were all staring in horror while Ratchet pushed through the bots to start working on Miko.
"Ratchet, how badly hurt is Miko, can you tell." Optimus asked while looking towards Bulkhead. The prime could swear that if you looked close enough you could see, possibly even hear the gears in his head working overtime, trying to come to grips that his young charge might not be the weak human you thought she once was, but that there was more to her than what meets the eyes.
"From here I can't tell, but it is clear she is in stasis lock due to the amount of energon she has lost and will need an energon transfusion when we get to base. I can't tell if she has anymore injury's, like internal leaking (like internal bleeding but with a Cybertronian instead) until we get her back to base and perform various scans." The medic told him and the rest of the team
Optimus looked around at his team before opening a comm link to Outpost omega one
"Jackson, Rafael we are ready for a ground bridge back to Base and it is needed as soon as possible."
"Rodger that Optimus, one Ground Bridge incoming." Jack replied over the comm
The ground bridge portal opened up and just as they were about to run through it they heard a voice that made them stop in their tracks.
"Not without me, if my daughter is hurt I need to be by her side!" the voice said
The bots froze in their tracks, they turned around to see where voice came from. On top of the debris pie they had made while trying to get to Miko, stood a thirty something year old, black haired man with orange red highlights, and honey golden eyes similar to Miko's. He had a lot of similarities with Miko like the nose, ears and chin. He was tall and muscular but what really got the bots attention was that deep penetrating voice he had, it reminded the two wreckers of their wrecking partner and wrecker second in command Springer.
"It can't be…Springer?" Bulkhead questioned the human, this got Wheeljack's attention and he then argued back.
"But that can't be springer? Springer was a bot bulk, not a human and last we knew was taken prisoner on Starscream's orbital station!" wheeljack stated
"Well the human saying was right, get a new look and no one will know it's you. And if you want answers I'll give you them later but right now I wish for my daughter to receive the medical attention she needs." He finished, and looked towards them.
Optimus then spoke up trying to relieve the growing tension between the wreckers over who this human was "However he is right and if you two cannot see, the similarities between him and Miko clearly show me that they are indeed family." He looked around at his team, then only to continue "We can get answers at the base, not here. Miko needs to get the medical attention first, while ratchet stabilises miko and repairs her, then we can get the rest of the information to answer all of your questions."
"Yes prime." Was the only response he received from his team. Then they all turned to enter the ground bridge, with Optimus carrying the human/bot in disguise, and Ratchet carrying Miko.
And with that the ground bridge vanished from existence.
Autobots Base
"What do you think is taking the so long jack? They gave us the signal to open the bridge five minutes ago and they haven't come through." Raf asked his friend, his voice was full of concern only for Fowler to speak.
"Its likely old Buckethead discovered the signal and the bots are currently engaged in a fight over this mysterious signal son. That's what usually happens with them. They pick up a signal the cons aren't usually that far behind them." Fowler told the boys.
"I hope they aren't captured…" just as jack said that they started to come through the ground bridge. Ratchet was first through, he rushed off into the medi bay with whatever he was holding in his hands. They three humans on the catwalk couldn't see what it was. The medic was soon followed by Arcee, Smokescreen, Bumblebee, Wheeljack, and Bulkhead. They then waited about ten to twenty more seconds before Optimus walked through with another Human male.
"Prime, Just the bot I was looking for…" Fowler said before looking over at the human he was holding onto "Aah, I was actually about to tell you about your friend over here but it seems you have beaten me to him." He finished, looking up into the leaders confused Faceplates.
"Yes agent Fowler what is it you wish of me." He stated, only to be interrupted by the human adult.
"Oh no it not agent Fowler anymore." He started only to be interrupted by Smokescreen, this time.
"Wait, why isn't it agent anymore Fowler… did they fire you?" the elite guard member asked
"As I was saying…" the Man continued "I have been officially promoted to the position of Director for Unit E"
"(Congrats Fowler)" Bumblebee beeped to the man "(it was about time.)"
"Um… what he say." Director Fowler asked to the Autobots leader.
"Bumblebee speaks of all of us, congratulations on the promotion, Director. Is there anything else you wish to inform us of?" Optimus asked the man.
"Actually yes, it is of Cybertronian concern but, you already seem to have found the bot in question. Haven't they Springer, or is it Wilson Nakadia when you are in your Human mode?" Fowler questioned looking dead straight at the new adult.
"Wait your Miko's dad!?" both the boy shouted. Only for optimus to ask
"Arcee, Bumblebee why don't you two take the boys somewhere to debrief them on the current situation"
"Yes prime" they both said while picking up there charges and taking both of them down to the training room, Jack noticed the concern on Arcees faceplates,
Once they reached the training room Jack spoke up
"Okay Arcee spill, what did you find in Japan?" Jack questioned in a tone usually used by Optimus if he ever needed to find answers from his team after they take off and have some 'fun' (Jack and bee racing)
"You now that energon signal that the monitors picked up… well when we found it… it…it wasn't what it was we thought it was." The femme said slowly
"Well where is it now?" Jack asked his partner
"Ratchet has it… but be prepared for what I'm about to say next as this will shock you as much as it shocked us." Arcee continued.
"The object wasn't a… it was a she. But the person in question was leaking heavily from her abdomen area." She said not looking into her partners eyes.
"It was Miko, wasn't it?" Rafael spoke up. Only for Bee to buzz in,
"Yes Raf it was, but she was badly leaking." He beeped at the two boys.
"She's bleeding!" Raf stuttered only for jack to but in,
"Wait if Miko's Bleeding shouldn't I call my mum, I know she has been teaching ratchet how to treat human wounds, but I wouldn't trust him fully operating on a human yet!" Jack said, his voice was full of concern wiping his Phone out of his pocket.
"I don't believe your Mother would be very useful in this case Jack, as miko… miko's not exactly human." Arcee told her partner
"Not human… what are you saying Cee, are you telling me she is a Technorganic of some sort."
"Yes that's what I'm saying to you Partner." Arcee told him "Now let's head back to the Main room and see what's the status with her, and if Ratchet has stabilised her yet.
"Okay, partner." Jack sighed overwhelmed with all the news. And with that the left the room just in time to hear Wheeljack shout,
"Wait, wait, wait, you mean you weren't yanking our tailpipes you actually are Springer?" Wheeljack said still not believing anything he was hearing
"Heh, still won't believe me will you Wheeljack?" the man said, then transforming into the Bot he claimed to be "Still believe I'm lying now buddy?" he finished when he was fully transformed. He smirked at the inventor who in return just glitched (glitched is the Cybertronian term for passing out and calling someone a b*tch) and fell on the floor with a heavy "Thunk!"
Then Ratchet emerged from the med bay, the room fell silent.
"Well Ratchet, how is your patient." Optimus asked his most trust worthy friend.
"It's hard to say," he said before Bulkhead shouted at him
"Hard, just tell us how she is if she alive or gone, you're the medic so how is it hard to say!" the big green wrecker shouted only to have Springer tell him of
"Hey leave the doctor alone, I'm the one who should be doing the shouting right now, She IS MY DAUGHTER." He shouted at the big green bot.
"Springer, please calm down, Bulkhead is only concerned about miko as when she found us I put her under his protection just to make sure no Decepticons attacks her when so please forgive his temper right now." Optimus said to the worrying father. Only for Springer to tell them
"My little girl can handle anything, she is trained in Kendo, ninjitsu, and karate, not to mention the fact that she is world champion in roller derby, free running and paintballing. No con would dare mess with her if they valued their life." He scoffed at them, only for the Prime to continue what he had previously been saying, while the bots looked to him in confusion the same thought all in their heads 'Miko is not only trained in three forms of self defense she is world champion in three extreme sports?'
"Now please continue Ratchet old friend, how is Miko."
"Currently she is stable, I had to manually transform her to get to see the full extent of the damage, which I sealed and patched, she is now having an energon transfusion to replace what she lost. Other than that everything is on a green, her processor function is green, her spark chamber hasn't been compromised, her t-cog wasn't damaged and is fully intact. Her chassis is okay no cracks visible, no signs of other damage. She will hopefully make a full recovery." the medic told the team to their relief. Then Raf spoke up
"So is miko a sort of, um Technorganic or what?" The boy questioned
"No Rafael, Technorganic's are protoforms that have come into contact with an Organic substance for example, human D.N.A to create a human Technorganic. But Miko is very different from this."
"Really how different Ratchet?" Bulkhead questioned the Medic.
"Well for a start I take it Miko was conceived, wasn't she Springer?" the medic started, looking at the father,
"Yes my wife Mikahura, carried her for nine months but she was born in 'human mode'." The bot made quotation marks in the air "it was only when she was three did we find out that she had inherited my Cybertronian abilities." He told the medic
"What she do, blow up your house?" Wheeljack laughed as he had just come out of stasis long enough to understand the situation.
"Actually yes, she blew up the Nakadia family dojo on her grandparents estate, damn it was so hard to get her to stop shooting at things with her scatter shot, although when we finally did, we told her it was all a dream and that her uncle dropped a cigarette near the dojo and that was how it was destroyed." He replied to Wheeljack "Something you would have liked to see Wheeljack."
"Well where was I," ratchet asked "Ah yes Miko was conceived, some cybertronians were concieved, other than walking out of core itself like Bee and Optimus, not protoformed from the core of cybertron, secondly she was taller than Arcee when I had her transformed their a while ago, technorganics while in bot mode are usually the size of the specie that comes in to contact with the protoform, and finally she has a vehicular alt mode meaning she has three forms she can transform into, Human mode, and Cybertronian mode as two primary modes and a small, compact four wheeled alt mode."
"So basically she is a triple changer but with a human alt instead of a seeker alt?" Smokescreen asked the medic.
"Yes she is Smokescreen, but I now fear for how she will handle this disturbing news. She will need someone to help her get adjusted to this new life, she can't be around humans in a hundred years' time or even when she is in her late twenties." He told the team, only to receive confused looks
"What are you on about ratchet?" Jack asked
"Because Miko has a spark and not a heart she is most likely to stop aging once she finishes developing in her human mode which would be when she reaches adulthood or twenty-one years old similar to us Cybertronians. She will also have the lifespan of a normal Cybertronian which will be hundreds of millions of human years or a few hundred thousand Cybertronian years or vorns." He finished, leaving the team in awe and then turning to Springer.
"Well, that's what I've been thinking about for the past fifteen years now, but since I had no medical equipment I couldn't check to see if truly my hunch was correct." The Father told them
"Well, this has been an eventful day but I must go back and monitor my patient and transform her back into human mode so she won't freak out as much." Ratchet told them, then he left the room to return to his patient in question.
The bots and humans went silent trying to process all of the information about Miko and her condition. Then the haunting silence was broken when the last prime spoke up to ask the second in command to the wreckers how he arrived on earth.
"Now that we now Miko is stable, I must know when and how it was that you came to be on earth Springer?" Optimus asked breaking the penetrating silence of the room.
"Let's just say, I've been on earth eighteen years, married to my human wife for sixteen years and have been a sire for the past fifteen and it is an exciting adventure but I would rather wait until my daughter regains consciousness before telling the story." He requested "it would be far easier for me to tell you all I one g and not having to retell the story over and over to each of you individually."
"Yes I see your point, do you need a ground bridge back to your wife in Japan, I'm sure she would like to be in on this current situation and is probably, worried sick about your disappearance, as well as your daughters. The Prime said to the mech.
"Yes you are right, but I hope my daughter is in safe servos while I'm gone and I will comm the base when she is ready to come, but please inform me of when Miko regains consciousness." The mech requested.
"We will, we will." Bulkhead told him
"Yes thank you, I will take that ground bridge now please." He said. "Mika is going to have my helm when I get back to her." He stated causing Wheeljack, Bulkhead, Smokescreen, Bee, and Jack to laugh.
"We will inform you of any changes in Miko's condition as soon as possible Springer." Optimus told him while opening the ground bridge to North Japan.
And with that he transformed back into human mode, and walked through and out into Japan and to his wife's call.
Back at Outpost Omega one
"I believe it is time for you boys to head home now, the hour is late and you both are in need of some rest." Optimus told the two human teens "Arcee, Bumblebee I believe it is time to take the boys home."
"Yes prime." They responded
"Yeah see you bots tomorrow." Jack said while hopping onto the now transformed Arcee
"Ready partner" Arcee questioned
"Ready as I'll ever be Cee." And with that Arcee and Jack went speeding out of the base
"Yeah see you tomorrow guys." Rafael said out of Bee's window who had now transformed, and with that he and Bumblebee went speeding out of the base after Jack and Arcee
"Well I better get going I have a lot of paperwork to file now that I am director, but prime give me a call whenever Springer comes back this file here should help back up his story." Fowler asked the prime while showing the Prime a rather bulky manila file "After eighteen years of writing this report I now have to update it and God it's going to be a long night." And with that Fowler headed in the direction of the elevator and left.
"Come on Bulk, you need your rest to you can't help Miko recoup if you don't recharge properly, now can you." Wheeljack told his best friend.
"Wha, oh yeah… yeah I … I suppose your right Jacky. I need to be strong and help Miko in her time of need like when she looked out and after me, you now after hard-shell."
They then noticed Optimus and Smokescreen leave the room and head in the direction of their separate berth rooms.
"There's something more to this isn't their Bulkhead?" Wheeljack asked "Don't worry you can trust me I won't tell the others about it, but I do know it involves Miko, so spill."
Bulkhead looked at Wheeljack. 'Should I tell him?' he thought 'Oh… he's right us wreckers help each other out so he should hopefully understand'
"The truth is Jacky I … I" he started
"You love her don't you?" Wheeljack asked
"Yes... yes I do," Bulkhead replied
"How long have you been like this around her, buddy?" he asked
"After the tox-en, and hard-shell debacle. She was with me the whole time during my recovery and never gave up hope on me. Now we actually have the chance to work out, I mean like as a couple" Bulkhead admitted
"I know how you feel bud, I feel the same about Arcee. Don't tell her I said anything though." Wheeljack admitted
"Okay, Yeah lets go recharge tomorrow is going to be a long day." Bulkhead finished.
And with that the two left the room, but unbeknownst to them a certain medic heard it all.
So miko is alive, she is not a snotty nosed Technorganic, she is a Cybertronian hybrid that has all the abilities of a Cybertronian but can transform between ,human Cybertronian and vehicle modes. Th next upcoming chapters will have more on Miko's weapons system, vehicle mode and HER CYBERTRONIAN CHASSIE. and Bulkhead has feelings for Her. What about Wheeljack and his feelings for Arcee, will the two lone wolfs workout, and will bulkhead ever tell his little buddy his feelings for her. please keep reading to find out (once i publish the next chapter though.)
Please note. Any tips or plot ideas you want to see happen please comment about them in the reviews section and I will try to take some of them into account, but please note that I have miko's weapons, vehicle mode and bot mode planned out and do not need any suggestions. Thank you
