Ch.11
I don't own anything that is Hasbro and The Hub rights not mine, but I do own my oc's.
Italic means thinking or thoughts, and dream p.o.v.
Dream
I feel like I was in a warm room, I slowly open my eyes to see that I was in a desert.
"What the heck?" I asked myself.
"Don't be afraid," I heard a deep male voice said. "I will not harm you that all."
"Who's there?" I asked out loud. "Show yourself."
"I think not," The voice said back. "But you know me just think."
"Why you please just tell me?" I asked back.
"I believe your guardian knows me well." The voice said back.
"You mean Ratchet?" I asked. "Are you Primus?"
"Well you quite smart young Cassandra Kingston." Primus said.
"That prove it," I said. "I'm losing my mind."
"Quiet!" Primus shouted.
I shut up within seconds.
"Why are you talking to me, why aren't talking to Optimus or Ratchet?" I asked.
"Because young Cassandra you are special," Primus said. "And you will see soon young one."
"I'm just human," I said. "And I not special, I'm just normal."
"Well young Cassandra there is more to you than meets the eye," Primus said. "Goodbye Cassandra."
End Dream
I woke with a start.
"Okay did that really just happen?" I thought to myself.
Luxor just looked at me, of course Luxor would look at me and went back to sleep.
"Typical cat." I muttered, and turn over to my other side to fall back asleep.
Time Lapse
I sat in the base, waiting for Miko to come I knew she was in detention again.
"So your grandmother funeral is next week," mom words rang in my head. "We're going to fly in."
"I need to tell them all not just Miko." I thought.
"Cassie?" I heard Raf asked.
"Yes." I said.
"How do you know about M.E.C.H?" he asked.
"Long story," I said. "They wanted my Mom's ideas."
"What?" He asked.
"She put her foot down and said no it will not happen," I said back. "They were going to use me to make Mom help them."
"Are you serious?" Jack asked.
"They didn't get me," I said. "It was right before Dad died."
"Let me guess your mom thinks M.E.C.H. has something to do with your Dad's death." Jack said.
"I don't know," I said. "But then Mom got the chance to move here and she took it."
"So that why you freak out," Raf said. "And that way you fainted."
"Yup." I said.
We suddenly heard Bulkhead stagger back into the base.
"There back," I muttered. "Miko ditch"
"You sound just like my parents!" Miko yelled.
"Aren't they Japanese?" Bulkhead asked after he transformed back into his real form.
"They may speak a different language," Miko said walked away from him. "But they say the same things!"
We headed towards the railing to see this.
"Because we want the best for you!" Bulkhead said. "And that means making sure you go to school! Not jail!"
"Uh-oh, what'd you do?" Jack asked teasing her.
"I ditched detention." Miko admit.
"I knew it." I said
"Look, Miko, before I became a warrior, I was a laborer – construction," Bulkhead said kneeling down to Miko's level. "I can build stuff. I can break stuff. And that's it!"
"I like breaking stuff! I wanna be just like you, Bulk!" Miko announced.
"Oh… why do you wanna be like me when you can be a medic like Ratchet?" Bulkhead asked.
Ratchet was still typing on his computer as it beeped.
"I'm detecting a fresh Energon pulse from the nation called Greece," Ratchet said aloud, "An ancient city. Quite historic, I believe."
"Ancient Greece, huh? Oh, field trip." Bulkhead said in a sing-song voice.
"Cassie, come with?" Miko asked.
"Well…" I started.
"Please" She said and giving one of those looks.
"Fine," I said. "I'll come."
I quickly walked down and over to Miko, as Ratchet type the coordinates in and open up the ground bridge portal, Bulkhead transformed. We clambered in; Bulkhead revved up his engine and sped through the portal.
"Here we are!" Bulkhead said when he came to a stop in the middle of the ahead in front of were columns. Miko and I quickly hopped out and looked around. Bulkhead quickly transformer.
This place made me think about Dad, I started to smiled. Most of the columns had been already dug up.
"Sweet! So what are we doing in Gecko-Ville?" Miko asked happily, as Bulkhead withdrew a scanning device.
"I'm scouting Energon," Bulkhead said. "You're doing research for your history report."
"You punk'd me, Bulk? Not Cool!" Miko yelled.
I just rolled my eyes.
"Really?" I asked. "It was an easy paper."
"I didn't have time." Miko said rolling her eyes back at me.
I just shook my head, we followed Bulkhead as he walked closer to the ledge, and He started to move the device around and analyzing the readings.
"Hmm, signals strong." He said as observed the device; we started to look at the machinery next to the mounds of dust, mud and rubble.
"An excavation site." He said
"Whoa…," Miko said, I just smirked.
"I know construction," He said back looking that site. "According to my scanner humans hit Energon veins, and they don't even know it."
"What with that fresco?" I asked looking at it "It looks like Poseidon with soldiers, what in his hand?"
"Whoa!" Bulkhead said. "That's Cybertronian!" Why would ancient Greeks paint an Energon harvester?"
"You know what that round thing is?" Miko asked as she took out her phone and took a picture. "You're smarter than you let on!"
"But even dumber than he looks!" We all spun around to see who say that.
The owner of the voice was a large bulky blue deception with golden eyes instead of red ones, even though his face was orange-red.
"Breakdown" Bulkhead stated.
"Miss me?" Breakdown asked smirking.
"Like rust in my undercarriage." Bulkhead growled out.
"You know this lunkhead?" Miko asked, as I smirked.
"We have a history." Bulkhead said.
"And you have a couple of pets do they catch?" Breakdown asked and easily snapped one of the stone pillar as if it was nothing and held it up. "Catch!" He yelled and lobbed at us.
We try to shield ourselves but Bulkhead got in front of us, the pillar c rushed against his body, creating a huge mass of dust.
"Miko, Cassie stay down!" He ordered we found a place to hide behind a giant step just in time as Breakdown and Bulkhead went flying.
Breakdown slam Bulkhead sending him into the excavation site, Breakdown has the advantage and threw Bulkhead in the fresco, and destroys it.
"Oops. Hope the pretty picture wasn't too important." Breakdown said mockingly and took off in his vehicular mode we appeared from our hiding place to see him driving away.
"Told you I'm good at breaking things." Bulkhead said rubbing his head.
"I'll always have you back, Bulk. Got us a picture of the picture," Miko said happily holding her phone with the photo of the fresco.
Time Lapse
"It is indeed an Energon harvester; a tool created by the Ancients to remove ran Energon from any nearby source." Optimus confirmed the orb.
"Greek Gods knew Autobots?" Raf asked in disbelief.
"No the Ancients often used the art of a given era to conceal massagers," Optimus corrected, "This fresco was likely a signpost indicating a harvester's location hidden somewhere on this planet."
"Uh, Optimus, if the harvester removes Energon from anything and you all have Energon pumping inside you?" Jack asked.
"In Deceptions hands, the harvester could be a devastating weapon," Optimus answer back.
"See? You were a genius to destroy that painting!" Miko said.
"Miko's not wrong. How can the 'Cons find the harvester without the fresco?" Arcee asked.
"With High-speed internet," Raf said. "If you do an image search for 'Greek God' and 'Golden Orb', this pops up. It's in a museum." He showed the image of a white stone stature of a Greek God holding a golden orb in his hand.
"That the real deal?" Arcee asked.
Optimus kept looking at the picture.
"Contact Agent Fowler," Optimus requested.
"You've reached Special Agent William Fowler. I'm currently on an intensive training retreat and unavailable until Tuesday." We heard Fowler through the computer.
"I hate talking to machines," Ratchet grumbled.
"Without Agent Fowler's direct aid, we will have to confiscate the harvester on our own," Optimus said.
"Wait back up, confiscate!" I said shocked.
"As in steal museum property?" Jack asked as he shook his head down and pinch on his nose bridge.
"That sounds… illegal," Raf said back.
"I do not wish to break human law," Optimus said. "But once the Decepticons learn of the harvester's location, they will not hesitate to obtain it by any means necessary. We must act covertly."
"No offence, Optimus but covertly and giant robots don't really go well together," Jack said. "Museums are public, and they have guards and security cameras."
"No problem! We're small enough to sneak in! And we're not a government secret!" Miko reminded us.
"Miko, I'm not sure that's wise," Bulkhead said back.
"I can't believe this is coming out of my mouth, but I agreed with her on this." I said.
"But it might be our best option, Bulkhead," Optimus said. "The longer we debate, the more time we give the Decepticons."
Optimus then explain the plan; the bots would bridge us the humans into the museum so the guards won't notice us. We would grab the harvester and finally we would be bridge back, while the bots would keep the cons busy. We were waiting on the lift as the bots transformer and drove through the portal.
"Jack, Cassie, Miko, and Rafael I will have a clear view of you once you secure the harvester, I will contact Ratchet and he will bridge you back to base." Optimus stated over the link. Ratchet then activated the bridge and turned to us.
"Now, since you'll bypass all normal points of entry, you won't have to worry about setting off the alarm," Ratchet warned. "But take care to avoid any security guards."
"We'll be careful don't you worry Ratchet." I said Jack then drove the lift through the bridge, as we came into the museum main foyer; I got a good look at the statue.
"I knew where I saw say that statue from before." I thought.
"Opa!" Miko whispered.
I could easily see Optimus flashed his headlights at us three times. That was the signal for us to go. Jack made the lift rise up we came to a stop right below us. Miko took the phone out, lined it up with the sight of the camera before fixing her phone and taking the photo, and gently placed it over the security camera. So, the guard wouldn't realize anything up and gave us a thump up.
As we went to move the harvester, they was a sudden sound of glass cracking, Miko and I turned to see Optimus looking back at us to see if we were okay. Suddenly a red car robot stabbed Optimus with an Energon pole thing, knocked Optimus out, after he fell the red con jumped on to his back and jabbed him once again.
"It's Cons!" Raf gasped.
"They got Optimus!" Jack said worried.
"Clam down and get this harvester out of here." I said.
We then noticed another con driving towards us, I had a feeling it was Breakdown. Arcee and Bee then came into view as they sped towards Breakdown it did not end well. Both Arcee and Bee went flying, there was a large thud from the ceiling we watch as Bulkhead jump from the roof and ran towards Breakdown. Who suddenly transformed and punch him, which sent Bulkhead flying back towards us, which hit the red con, and both of them went into one of the museum wall, which cause the alarm to go off. Raf gave the harvester one more push and it went.
"Come on," Miko said. "Time to make our exit, guys."
Miko ran ahead of us, looking for a way out so we wouldn't get caught. The rest of us followed along on the lift. Miko was ahead, and she suddenly froze and gasped, when a flashlight hit her. We quickly hid, as we saw a security guard in front of Miko.
"Uh…. Wassup?" Miko greeted nervously.
"Better come with me, miss." The guard said as he dragged Miko but the wrist.
"Not good," Jack remarked.
I pointed to the door were we could see a pair of Cybertronian legs.
"Arcee!" Jack called and ran towards them, with Raf and I followed.
The bot knelt down and pushed the door the rest of the way up but it wasn't Arcee.
"It's Soundwave!" Raf called.
"Not good." I muttered.
He reached and grabbed the harvester, and grabbed us a look and then flew off.
"This isn't good. Come on." Jack declared.
As Raf and I followed him outside where the other bots are, but they were getting ready to chase after the cons.
"Hey!" I shouted.
"The Decepticons have the harvester!" Jack yelled.
"And security has Miko!" Raf called.
"What? I'm going in after her!" Bulkhead yelled ready for a fight.
"Bulkhead, Miko may be detained," Optimus said. "But she is safe from harm."
Time Lapse
We headed back to base; Acree and Bee were sent out to intercept the cons.
"In all likelihood, Starscream will use the harvester to gather as much Energon as they can from the planet's otherwise unmineable Energon deposits," Optimus said. "Approach with extreme caution Starscream will not hesitate to turn the harvester on any one of us, Bulkhead it is best that you remain here."
"So I can bust Miko out of the museum?" Bulkhead asked eagerly.
"So you can help Ratchet," Optimus said. "You may be Miko's guardian but she requires human assistance. Agent Fowler remains her best option." As he rolled out.
"Miko can take care of herself." I said to Bulkhead.
"You've reached Special Agent William Fowler, I'm currently on an intensive training retreat and unavailable until Tuesday." We heard Fowler voice.
"Still no answer." Raf announced.
"Fowler's lounging around some poolside cabana." Bulkhead growled out and bangs his fist into the nearest object, which was one of Ratchet's tools.
"Bulkhead I needed that!" Ratchet cried back.
I rolled my eyes.
"We can free Miko if we can just return that harvester to the museum." Bulkhead said.
"So they Decepticons can steal it all over again?" Ratchet asked back.
"…I am so dumb!" Bulkhead moaned.
"How are we going to help Miko?" I asked.
"By returning this replica to the museum," Ratchet said holding up the partially done orb. "The construction of which would be going a whole lot faster if Bulkhead hadn't just mangled my frame welder!"
"We're already trespassers and thieves, why not add forgery to the list?" jack said sarcastically
Bulkhead then groaned. "I wish I had never taken Miko to the… the painting of the harvester isn't the only thing we found at these ruins!"
"I'm sorry?" Ratchet asked.
"Starscream's not dumb! No Matter what kind of tool he has, he's gonna take the easy route!" Bulkhead said.
"The Energon at the excavation site." I said aloud.
"Exactly." Bulkhead said.
Bulkhead transformer and went through the bridge going back to Greece. Ratchet had insisted he should wait for backup but it didn't want to wait he need to do this alone for Miko.
My phone suddenly went off, causing all of us to jumped I pulled my phone and quickly answer.
"Yes Mom?" I asked.
"You need to get home now were leaving tomorrow in the morning." Mom said back.
"Alright," I said. "I'll be there in a few."
I hang up.
Jack gave me a look.
"I need to tell you guys something," I said. They all looked at me. "I have to go to back to New York for the next few days."
"Why?" Raf asked.
"My grandmother just passes away," I said. "And I need to go to the funeral."
"Oh," Raf said. "I'm sorry Cassie."
"It's okay Raf," I said. "Really?"
"Cassie I'm really sorry." Jack said.
"It'll be okay," I said. "She lives a long and good life."
I shared a smile with Jack, and Raf. Ratchet gave me a rare worry looked at me I was ready to face the funeral.
