I let out a yawn after waking up from my stasis nap. Optimus was able to recover from the cybonic plague and everything seemed back to normal. I came into the main room where Bumblebee and Bulkhead were standing facing each other while one of them held a large metal ball. "What's going on? Lobbing?" I asked while raising an optic ridge. "Nope, we're playing basketball," Miko replied. "Don't know what that is, but, okay," I shrugged, walking over to where Jack and Raf were and watched.
"Alright, let the games begin!" Miko says before blowing through her whistle. "Ugh...[I hate that thing...]" I hissed slightly, rubbing my head from the loud noise. Bumblebee spins the ball on his finger before throwing it over Bulkhead, who manages to catch it with ease. He turns around to toss the ball into the makeshift hoop. "Whew!" Miko cheers for him. Bulkhead lets the ball roll to him and he picks it up, turning to Bumblebee, "Best two out of three?"
Bulkhead throws the ball to Bumblebee and he catches it, starting to run towards Bulkhead and around him to get to the hoop. "You're in the clear, Bumblebee!" Raf shouts. Bumblebee stops in front of the hoop and remains still. "Huh?" I blinked.
"Come on, Bumblebee, quit hogging the ball," Bulkhead said. Bumblebee suddenly spins around and hurls the ball at Bulkhead. "Whoa!" Bulkhead ducks his head in time, almost hit. I flinched once Miko blows into the whistle again, "Foul!" "Dodge ball by the way of Cybertron. Nice," Jack shrugs. "Bee, the hoops over there," Bulkhead points at the makeshift hoop. 'Sorry, I don't know what happened,' Bumblebee shrugs. "Are you alright, Bumblebee? You've been acting weird," I tilt my head to the side a bit.
'Yeah. Why not a game of three out of five?' Bumblebee beeps, holding up three fingers. "Sure, okay," Raf says, shrugging his shoulders. I raise my right cheek, creating a confused look while watching Bulkhead and Bumblebee continue on playing basketball.

I walked along the hallway, thinking about how I could get another dinosaur mask to replace the other one that got burnt during my last time racing. I turn around the corner and jumped while letting out a yelp, seeing Bumblebee. I breathed out, "By the ancients, Bumblebee, you scarred me!" Bumblebee doesn't reply. I let out a sigh, walking up to him, "What are you still doing here? You have to take Raf to school, remember?" I asked with a raised optic ridge.
Bumblebee then grabs my shoulder forcefully and slams me against the wall. "Ah-!" I open my optics again in shock and looked up into Bumblebee's glaring ones. He raises his right hand, turning it into a cannon and pointing it point blank right in my faceplate. I stared back at the cannon with a shocked expression, not knowing what to think or do. Bumblebee's optics were now back to normal. He blinks at me, noticing how hard his grip was on my shoulder. He looks over at the cannon and quickly leans his head away in surprise.
He turns his cannon back into a hand and stumbles away from me, beeping in confusion. He turns towards the rest of the hall and runs away. I remain in my shocked state, slowly sliding down the wall onto the floor, petrified.

"Prime! Have you spot any Decepticons wearing hula skirts lately?" Fowler asked over the video cam on the computer screen. "Decepticons went to Hawaii...?" I raised a side of my mouth in amusement. "No, special agent Fowler, we have not. Why?" Optimus asked. "Because I was hoping you would have a lead on the 'Cons who have busted into the Kauwai Naval Observatory. Place looked like it got hit by an army of wrecking balls," Fowler says.
"Why would 'Cons break into an observatory?" Arcee asked, saying it like it was absurd. "Does the Heuck Nigoghossian ring any bells?" Fowler asked. "Not at all," I shook my head slowly, having no idea what Fowler means. "The space telescope," Raf answers. "As from last night, it's been missing it's primary lens," Fowler explains.
"It's difficult to guess Starscream's intent without knowing where the lens has been taken," Optimus says. "Good thing the lens haves a tracking device," Fowler shows us the location of where the telescope lens were. The map showed that it was in the arctic. "The arctic? Great...another chance to freeze our sparkplugs off," Arcee says, not amused one bit. The map zooms in on the area, showing a patch of Energon.
Bulkhead whistles, "That's the biggest unmineable Energon deposit," "Unmineable. Until Starscrem melts his way down to it," Optimus says. "With help from the lens," Arcee adds. "Melting a glacier that size can cause sea levels to raise and demolish coastal cities," Fowler says. "More reason to hurry and stop Starscream?" I asked with a shrug. Ratchet puts in the coordinates of the lens' location. I step inside the bridge with Optimus, Arcee and Bulkhead, glancing back at the sleeping Bumblebee before leaving.
On the other side, I stepped in snow and felt weird while doing so. But, the temperature was a lot more higher than I expected. "Are you sure that we're not in the Rocky Mountains instead?" I asked as a joke. "It sure is a lot warmer than our last visit," Arcee said, "It feels like summer," I notice Bulkhead stop after peering from behind a giant glacier. I follow behind with Optimus and Arcee, seeing the Decepticon warship and a large fiery beam coming from it and contacting the surface below. "Here, that's a bad thing," Bulkhead says.
"Wow, if this keeps up, the Decepticons will add to the list of reasons why Earth has global warming," I bit my lip. "Autobots," We all turn our attention to Optimus, "Remember the end run on Polyhex?" I raised an optic ridge while smirking a bit, having a slight idea.

I skate off the edge of a small glacier in high speed, landing in between Bulkhead and Arcee. By the ancients, I hope this plan works out again. As we drew closer towards the warship's location, I notice a shadow in the sky, coming down on us fast. I quickly slide away from the object, avoiding contact. But, once the object hits the surface near us, I lost footing and tumbled forward before fixing myself upward. I used the skates to turn myself around and see the Decepticon, Breakdown.
My lips form into a hard line as I bear out my blades. I skate after him, ready to attack. Breakdown sees me in view and smirks at me. As I got closer, he grabs my sides and tosses me over his shoulder. I manage to slash my blade in between his shoulder and neck before being thrown a couple of yards into snow. I fix myself up quickly. Arcee goes after Breakdown, activating her blades and jumping into the air and descending onto the top of him. Breakdown snatches her arms and flings Arcee away.
Breakdown then looks at Bulkhead, turning his right hand into a hammer and charging after him. Bulkhead charges at Breakdown, activating his wrecking ball. Both of them threw a punch at each other, causing the ice to crack due to the force. After battling with Breakdown, there was a wave of high pitched sounds that caused my audio sensors to ring. Then, a hurling blast of wind causes me to lose my footing and fly back, tumbling over as I went. "Ah!"
Once the wind dispersed, I got up to my knees, slowly standing up with a groan. I looked up at the warship and notice a large stream of smoke coming from it. "Optimus-!" Arcee said in alert. I blinked, noticing Starscream in his vehicle mode, coming down from the sky down towards what looked like Optimus. "!" My optics widen in horror. If one of us tried to go help Optimus, no one would make it in time.
Suddenly, another jet crashes into Starscream, and I instantly recognize the jet, "M-Megatron...?" "He's back..." Arcee said as she narrowed her optics. As we made our way to see Optimus, I watched as the smoking warship glide away out of view. "Ratchet, we need a bridge back," Optimus said over the com-link. "You're not the only one's,"
We all turn to see Ratchet and Bumblebee with Raf, who waved at us. "...Oh slag, how are we going to get back...?" I asked with a sigh of annoyance.
:
"Well, everything seems back to normal," Ratchet says after having Bumblebee being scanned. 'Thanks a lot, Ratchet,' Bumblebee said with a smiling expression. "Well, at least normal for Bumblebee..." Ratchet mutters.
'I'm sorry for the things I did,' Bumblebee beeps as he kneels down in front of Raf.
'You weren't worried, right?' Bumblebee beeps. "Of course I was," Raf said with a smile. Bumblebee beeps again. "What did he say?" Miko asked. "He said thanks," Raf answered, exchanging smiles with Bumblebee.
Bumblebee glances over at me, looking away in slight embarrassment and sorry. I let out a sigh with a smile, remembering about Bumblebee pulling out his cannon on me and almost blasting my head off, "It's alright," Bumblebee's optics flicker, as in blinking and looks at me with a wide smile expression.
After everyone was well, I start to walk around the base, minding my own business. Now...how am I going to get another dinosaur mask...?
