Operation: Breakdown

Valkyrie's POV

I knew it has been several weeks since Megatron got his leadership back and I knew full well how dangerous Megatron was when angry since I heard he almost killed Starscream. As I worked on weapons with Ironhide "still thinking about Megatron's return?" asked Ironhide as he was putting on the finishing touches on his cannon "yeah." I replied.

"We all are on edge Valkyrie." Ironhide said and Bulkhead was out searching and checking out an energon signal. "Autobots report to command center." Called Elita-one through the comlink and I knew there was something wrong, I could feel it but couldn't figure out why. As soon as Ironhide and I walked into the room Optimus walked up to me, "Valkyrie, you and Ratchet are to go to Bulkhead's location and retrieve him." He calmly ordered knowing I was both Ratchet and Ironhide's aid to medical and weapons bay areas.

Arcee bridged us to where Bulkhead's signal and bridged the two of us saw Bulkhead's body lying still, by the looks of his injuries he had been in a fight with someone and had several electrical burns on his metal body. "Bridge us back and prepare the bay." Ratchet called as we got Bulkhead's arms on our shoulders and began to carry him back to the base. "Let's get to work Valkyrie." Ratchet said when we got to working on the damages done to Bulkhead, "Ratchet, he's coming around." I said as Bulkhead's optics were beginning to come to life and I called on the link "Optimus Bulkhead is coming around." I called and sure enough Miko came right on into the bay, "Valkyrie can you?..." she asked and I knew she wanted me to put her close to Bulkhead.

Optimus' POV

"Bulkhead you know better than to engage the enemy alone." I said knowing how disappointed in him for disobeying an order. "Breakdown jumped me." He said and I know about the violent history with him and the Decepticon. "What happened to Breakdown and why didn't he finish you off?" Valkyrie asked. Then Fowler appeared and said "I detected MECH activity in the area where Bulkhead engaged Breakdown."

"So he got carried off by humans, and he makes fun of how small humans are. How ironic." Chromia said, "I used to be human." Valkyrie said not hiding her annoyance. "Sorry." She responded knowing Valkyrie was larger than her and trained under Ironhide and Ratchet. "Don't even say it Sunny." She added giving the golden twin a look.

"You're just as bad as Hide and Hatchet." He muttered and that's when Valkyrie wacked him with a wrench. "Jeeze Val, chill out." Miko said. "That's our protégé." Ironhide smirked knowing he had taught the former human well. "Enough, we must get Breakdown out of MECH. They cannot get their hands on Cybertronian biology." I said. "I know where this is going Optimus." Valkyrie said.

Valkyrie's POV

I knew Prime was right we needed to get Breakdown out of there since we all knew Megs wasn't going to help him and besides if Cliff was alive this was not what he wanted. We can't get to the Cons' level, "I don't need to hear the speech Prime, and you gave it to me a long time ago." I said.

Ratchet set the ground bridge and it was a good thing Fowler was around so he was military trained. He knew I promised to put Miko in a jar if she tried to escape and besides the area MECH is hanging around has high levels of radiation. Bulkhead decided to stay behind since he hated Breakdown so it was the rest of us without Bulkhead.

"Ur ure we goin he' ight'' ay Rime?" Jazz asked "He's sure besides I'm detecting the same pulse too." I said to Jazz. Bee then noticed tire tracks and wanted to follow them but Ratchet decided against it and when we followed the energon signal.

When we got to the end of the energon signal all we found was a yellow eye. Then we saw the face of the MECH leader Silus he taunted us with an explosive in the eye of Breakdown the next thing we knew we were knocked down by the explosion. Maybe we should have followed the tracks.

Optimus' POV

I got a call from Bulkhead, he decided to go after his rival and both he and Breakdown we having to deal with MECH agents. By the time we got there Breakdown and MECH had fled knowing we were coming, I had to tell Bulkhead off but he rose higher than himself to save his rival.
