"Munched!" I heard Miko yell as I walked back into the main base area after doing some sword training in the hanger. I stopped short of the door to see Miko and Bulkhead eagerly staring at the T.V. "Give it up for the baddest beast machines on the planet!" The male announcer yelled through the T.V's speakers, I hadn't been in the same room with him for five minutes but I could already tell Ratchet was not happy about the noise coming off of whatever Miko and Bulk were watching.
""Would you mind lowering the volume?" Ratchet asked annoyed, he even turned around from his hunched over position from in front of his computers. "Oh ignore him, besides Ratch I don't think the volume could get any lower than this. I'm told these things are super loud." I commented, Ratchet just rolled his optics and went back to working on whatever it is he was and I walked over to see what Miko and Bulkhead were watching. "Hey, Wave, check out the monster truck rally Miko took me to last week." Bulkhead said completely not recognizing my presence behind him, which was to be expected considering he hadn't looked up from the T.V's screen yet. "I compiled some highlights with my cellphone." Miko piped in raising her device, I just nodded my helm "Looks loud.". Ratchet seemed to drop whatever work he'd been doing on the computer and turned to face us again after Bulkhead's short explanation of what was on the T.V.
"Innocent vehicles battling for the pleasure of human spectators? Blood sport." Ratchet said with a shutter, there was a unanimous "Yeah!" from the duo at the tv before I piped in. "Oh come on Ratchet it can't be as bad as the gladiator battles that happened on Cybertron." I said, all I got in return was a look shot at me that said "We don't talk about those." or something like that it was hard to read and understand the looks that he gave everyone. "You could be helping Optimus in the field right now." Ratchet mentioned finally returning to his computers, he'd changed the topic on us because he was clearly unamused by the monster truck rally. "Aw, he doesn't need Twin's and my help to search for some ancient educational thingamabob." Bulkhead replied, which was kind of a bad move on his part because by not calling the cylinder by it's proper name he'd just evoked a whole lecture on the topic. "Nice going Bulkhead." I muttered watching Ratchet pull up a diagram on his computer screen.
"The 'thingamabob' to which you refer happens to be a Cybertronian data cylinder." Ratchet said starting his lecture, in a second the T.V's screen switched from a blue and red monster truck rounding a sharp corner to a diagram of the cylinder that Optimus was supposed to be picking up on his mission with the other two. "Hey!" Miko shouted at the notice that her video had been cut out and there was a complaining grunt from Bulkhead but I chose to stay silent because there was no sense in complaining about the inevitable. "And there is no telling what vast intelligence it may hold. During the golden age, dozens of these cylinders were created, each containing the sum total of Cybertronian knowledge on any given subject." Ratchet continued pulling up more diagrams and then a photo of Cybertron, at this point I was convinced that Raf should switch places with us because this sounded like something he would be into. There was a yawn from a bored Miko before Ratchet pulled up yet another diagram with a few subject labels and continued his lecture, "..Stellar cartography, medicine, ancient mythology. When the war broke out, the cylinders were hidden throughout the galaxies to keep them as far as possible from decepticon reach. Detecting one signal here, on earth, is the opportunity of a-" Ratchet started to finish before he was rudely interrupted by the complaints of Miko and Bulkhead. "Finally, I was starting to fall asleep." I thought.
"T.M.I dude." Miko complained, "Switch it back! I want to see the hoedown showdown!" Bulkhead piped in. Although I doubted any of that was going to happen when I heard the comm signal go off and Optimus' voice come through, he sounded distressed and there was the clear sound of blaster fire in the background. "Ratchet, Decepticon ambush. The cylinder is at risk. We require backup." Optimus said, "You know what that means." I said directly to Ratchet. I was wayyy too happy to be getting out his lecture, "Backup is what I'm built for." Bulkhead siad standing up and clanging his curled fists together.
I rolled my optics and jogged after him because he'd broken out into a slow run towards the ground bridge. "Go bed some fenders, Bulk." Miko cheered at the ground bridge whirled to life, I saw him smile out of the corner of my optic before the two of us ran through and into the battlefield. When we popped through to the other side of the ground bridge the Decepticons were definitely present on the scene. Arcee and Breakdown were already in combat, Bee was working on some vehicons and Optimus and Knockout had gotten into a servo to servo combat battle and I was a little surprised to see that Rainjet hadn't joined the action today. "I'm going to help Bee, you work on the stray vehicons." I said motioning, Bulkhead gave a nod before charging at a nearby vehicon while I dashed past a couple of fist fights to get to Bee. "Need any help, partner?" I asked sarcastically as Bee attempted to get rid of two vehicons on his tailpipe. ":What does it look like?:'' Bee answered as equally saractic.
I gave a small nod before I jumped into battle with him and pulled out my swords to help speed the process of getting rid of these guys. I didn't really have to do much, cause ya know, swords beat servos on any given occasion. All I really had to do was take a couple of good slashes to his limbs and then one to his spark chamber to help get rid of the problem fast, as much as I hated killing innocent bots over a dumb war no matter if I went easy on them I knew they weren't going to return the favor. "Autobots, stand your ground. The artifact must not fall into enemy servos." I heard Optimus say somewhere behind me just as my vehicon fell to the rocky cliff valley floor. "You think you can handle this one on your own?" I asked Bee as he punched his not-so-dead vehicon in the faceplates, ":I'll be fine, go help the others.:" he beeped. I nodded my helm and turned to see the action, just as I did Breakdown had grabbed Bulkhead's helm in one of his servos and was speaking. "Say uncle, say it!" I heard him say as he twisted Bulk around by his helm. "Oh no you don't." I said putting my swords away and taking a running start towards the one optic Con and jumping onto his back and put him in a choke hold.
Breakdown dropped Bulkhead and brought his servos to his neck trying to pry my arms from around his throat, after a second or so he managed to slip a few of his digits in between my arm and his back and grabbed hold of it to toss me away from him. I landed with a thud a few meters from the cylinder to see one Miko Nakadai standing a few feet from it, she took a running start at the cylinder assumingly trying to move it and ended up kicking it. "Miko what are you doing here?" I questioned as the cylinder beside me started making a warbling sound (yeah I don't know either) like the cylinder was getting ready to explode or something. It opened up, making it look a little like a daisy and the button on top of it glowed a bright red as the noise started to get faster and high pitched. All around me the fighting had either stopped or slowed as everyone stopped to see what on this world was making that kind of noise, "Miko?" Bulkhead said as he turned to see the bright red light as his servos and Breakdown's were locked in combat.
The glow started to get brighter around the tiny human girl and I decided this was a good time to intervene, there was a "No!" from beside me as I looked up from scooping Miko into my servo. Bulkhead was already running over to come get her as I picked her up, "Don't worry I've got her!" I said taking a few huge steps away from the cylinder. I didn't see it but I heard Bulkhead fall as I turned back around to see what the frag was happening with the cylinder situation. I assumed Breakdown had tried to grab him as he ran towards Miko. Instead he landed helm first in front of the activated cylinder right as it was about to go off, he groaned and looked up straight into the glowing light and then a red laser or light shot out from the button and straight into Bulkhead's helm, maybe even into his processor. "Bulkhead!" I gasped as I watched the light come to a complete stop and he fainted, "Bulk! Wave let me go see him!" Miko pleaded but I held my tight grasp as Knockout seized the opportunity to grab the cylinder. "You really took one for the team, Bulkhead- my team." Knockout taunted at the passed out mech as his ground bridge opened behind him and he and Breakdown ran through it and the three remaining vehicon lept into the air to take flight.
"Now you can come see him." I said as the rest of the team and I ran towards Bullhead as he slowly stood up after regaining consciousness. "Bulkhead, are you-" Optimus started his question regarding Bulkhead's wellbeing before he was interrupted by the mech. "Fine. it didn't even hurt." he replied interrupting Optimus. A sigh of relief washed over me as I set down Miko so she could run over to her guardian, "Ratchet, we need a ground bridge to our initial coordinates." Optimus said with one of his digits recessed onto the comm link. It didn't take long for the swirling vortex to appear in the same spot it had when Bulkhead, apparently Miko and I entered the battlefield today.
The six of us walked over to the ground bridge, well not really Miko she was being carried in Bulkhead's servo. Everyone stepped into the swirling vortex and reappeared in the main base area, Ratchet stood in front of us and gave a concerned look at Bulkhead. "Rachet, I believe it is in Bulkhead's best interest if you run a diagnostic on him to see if the cylinder did any real harm." Optimus said to Ratchet who simply nodded his helm and started escorting Bulkhead to med bay. "I told you guys, I'm fine." Bulkhead repeated the words he'd spoken earlier, I just sighed. I already had a feeling that something was going to go horribly wrong with whatever had beamed into Bulkhead's helm.
I took a few Minutes to wait for whatever diagnostic Ratchet had run on Bulkhead to be finished before I went over to go see the damage, well hear it anyways. "I helped lose that thing. I want to help find it, I need to get back in the field with Optimus." Bulkhead complained as he tried to stand up, from the sounds of it we were stuck babysitting the wrecker until further notice. "Ep,ep, you're under my watch now. Optimus's orders. And running a full scan of your neural net would be a wiser use of your time." Ratchet replied, resitting Bulkhead down on the med berth and then returning to his monitors. Which assumingly displayed the vital signs and whatever his diagnosis had picked up. "Come on, Doc. There's nothing up there to scan." Bulkhead retorted. "You know he's right Bulkhead, you don't know what that thing did and it's better to be safe than sorry. Trust me." I said speaking to them unannounced, it made everyone jump a little at the sound of my voice but Ratchet looked relieved that someone was agreeing with him. "I must be getting better at keeping my pad steps light if I spooked everyone like that." I thought Bee was going to be impressed when I told him later. "He seems fine to me." Miko piped in from the sidelines, there was a sigh from Ratchet probably understanding he was defeated before he spoke. "Well. if you insist on making yourself useful, you can help Miko tidy up." Ratchet said turning around with a clenched servo, when he opened it a human sized broom sat in it and I giggled a little. It was a little too big for the wrecker but it wouldn't be for me in holoform.
I walked to my room before powering down my body and then creating Amber to go scare and help everybody. I ran back towards the main area as fast as my holoform would let me, "Geez, human legs are so small." I remarked as I ran back to Ratchet to help. I know I shouldn't be eager to help clean but it was better than doing nothing all day, I'd been assigned as backup because Optimus already had his trio team on the job today. "I'm back and I'm here to help." I said from the floor, I'd been gone less than five minutes but Miko was already worried about something and had brought it to Ratchet. "Seriously, Ratch, you need to see what Bulk's painting in here." Miko pleaded pointing her hands towards where Bulkhead supposedly was, my comment about helping was completely ignored but now I was more interested to see what was happening with Bulkhead. "Yes, I'm sure one hasn't truly lived until one has beheld Bulkhead's take one still life with lug nuts." Ratchet said sarcastically but he still left his computer screens and followed closely behind Miko to see what was happening to Bulk, I followed closely behind Miko on the human area for fear my holoform would be squished.
"See? Did I tell you or what?" Miko said as she gestured to Bulkhead, whom we'd just come up apon, he seemed to be painting some sort of equation though I couldn't make it out but I was sure Ratchet would be able to. "The differential of one third 'R' cubed is RDRR." Bulkhead muttered as he painted another Cybertronian math equation on the wall. "That is not art. It's science." Ratchet gasped, "Well that figures but how in thirteen Prime's did Bulkhead learn it?" I questioned. There wasn't a jump this time but a sudden turn to see Amber standing behind Miko. "Let me show you." Ratchet said as he took both us and bulkhead back over to med bay. "You should probably call Optimus and the other two to let them know what is happening, and maybe put him into shut down mode. I don't think he's too thrilled that we're dragging him away from his work." I said pointing towards Bulkhead who was trying to loosen Ratchet's grip so he could return to his equation. There was a sigh of agreement and when we got back to med bay Ratchet put Bulkhead In complete shut down before hulling him onto a med berth. "I'm going to call Optimus back from his search, Twinwave you might want to change back before they get here." Ratchet said as he turned to his computer to activate the comm link. I just nodded my helm and let my holoform fizzle away before I powered on back in my room and got up to join everyone else at med bay.
Again, I hadn't been gone long but when I got back Ratchet was already bridging Optimus, Arcee and Bee back into base to see what was happening. I followed along behind everyone towards med bay so Ratchet could start explaining our predicament, everyone gathered around the computers and one powered on Bulkhead. "This hot spot you see here-" Ratchet started, he'd brought up a diagram of Bulkhead's processor on the screen to show us what he'd found. "It's information, Data. Living energy." Ratchet continued as a bright red spot appeared on the diagram to show us where the data was. "Hold on. It's alive, it's on fire, and it's in Bulkhead's brain?" Miko interrupted, she was confused and worried like the rest of us but probably more so because he was her guardian and best friend. "Chill, Miko. The data's only inhabiting a fraction of my brain, infinitesimal by standard neural net densities. Wait. how do I know that?" Bulkhead piped in, Ratchet must've powered him back on so he could hear what the frag was happening to him. "Based on what we witnessed during our skirmish, the living Data must have been programmed to eject when it sensed unauthorized access." Optimus replied from behind Ratchet. "Aka anyone but a Cybertronian touches it, it ejects." I translated for everyone else in the room. "A security measure." Ratchet gasped.
"It would have jettisoned heavenward, lost to the stars." Optimus replied to Ratchet, okay now they were just having their own conversation. "Except my fat engine block got in the way." Bulk said tapping his helm, I looked back towards him. He was now sitting up on the edge of the berth with both Arcee and Bee standing near him in case anything went wrong. "Every Con there made a grab for it, but the cylinder doesn't go off until Miko touches it?" Arcee asked one of her servos off her hips to gesture. "Like I said before, she's considered an alien by Cybertronian standards." I replied to Arcee, "The cylinder originated from Cybertron's golden age, predating the Autobot/ Decepticon division." Ratchet said, explaining a little more thoroughly than I had. "And like Twinwave said before, It wouldn't consider any native of Cybertron to be a threat." Optimus continued for Ratchet, "Only alien lifeforms, such as humans." Ratchet finished. The gazed in the room shifted to Miko who had her hands behind her back and looked scared back at everyone.
":So then what do the equations mean?:" Bee buzzed questioningly, "Are we staring at genius or gibberish?" Arcee added. She gestured to the equations Bulkhead had made earlier, "I do not wish to falsely rally anyone's hopes, but these equations appear to be the formula for a synthetic energon." Ratchet concluded, a pang of hope shot through me. "If we can get the finished formula, we won't have to scavenge for energon anymore." I thought. Bee buzzed something in his made up language and started dancing, "We hit the mother load?" Arcee said hopefully. "Of course it does Cee!" I said happily. "This could solve a whole lot of problems." I heard Bulkhead finish when I returned to the conversation, "Such as providing us with the edge we need to turn the tide of this war." Optimus said calmly but I could hear a streak of happiness running through it. "Or the key to revitalizing Cybertron." Ratchet said, he finally said the thing that had been on everyone's processor since he'd revealed what the formula was about. "We got the goods, and all Megatron got was an empty bucket." Arcee said with some satisfaction running through her voice now. "How often do I get to use my noggin to save the day?" Bulkhead asked Miko, "Not very." I replied
"Bulkhead, you are free to resume writing down your formula." Ratchet said as he walked over and released the cable that was attached to the wrecker's helm. The moment he was freed Bulkhead immediately walked back over to where he had been writing the formula before. Arcee, Bee and I followed so he could grab the slates that he was now writing on and bring them over to Ratchet to log, "Got to admit, it's weird seeing Bulk in brainiac mode." Arcee said as we came to a stand still by where Bulkhead was writing. "I know, he doesn't seem like himself anymore." I added, ": I don't understand half of what he's talking about:" Bee replied. Arcee left us to drag the next slate over to Ratchet and Optimus so Ratchet could long them, "That's because you didn't get a chance to study that when we were in school, as I recall you preferred battle training and physical exercise above everything else." I retorted before he and I went to help Cee carry the slate over to the growing pile behind Ratchet.
"Got another round for you to log, Ratchet." Arcee said as we carried the sleight towards the pile and dropped it off. After we'd dropped it off I went to see what was concerning Ratchet. "It is as I feared. The data seems to be actively and aggressively rewriting Bulkhead's neural net. I had hoped he was purging the data, but he seems to be merely transcribing it as it-" Ratchet started as I came up behind both mechs, "Consumes his mind." Optimus finished grimly. "Wait so what happens when he finishes it?" I asked. "From all indications, by the time Bulkhead completes the formula, his own thoughts, his memories could be wiped clean." Ratchet replied, "But if we stop him, goodbye synthetic energon." Arcee piped in. "You assume we possess a means of stopping him. I don't exactly have instant access to the wisdom of the ancients." Ratchet retorted. "I will not allow another one of our own to be sacrificed, no matter the cost." Optimus added on. '"If the living data transmitted itself from the cylinder, perhaps we could somehow coax it back inside." Ratchet replied, "That sounds like a good idea but how are we going to even get it in there?" I asked, "And how are we supposed to get the cylinder back from the Decepticons?" Arcee questioned.
The data might not even go back into the cylinder; it just might end up ejecting itself into space and be lost with the stars like the rest of our planet, "Megatron will bring it to us." Optimus replied. He seemed to already be formulating a plan on how we could save both the data and Bulkhead from Decepticon servos. "Ratchet I need you to ready the ground bridge with these coordinates while I finish with the rest of my plan." Optmius said as he walked away, Ratchet gave a brief nod before returning to log the formula into our computer system. "Ratchet? Are we going to tell Miko about this?" I asked after Optimus was out of audio receptor shot, "I don't think we should, we don't want to worry her." Ratchet responded, I just nodded my helm and went back to bringing the slates over to Ratchet so he could log them.
I continued to do this with Arcee and Bee until they got bridged out of base with Optimus so he could get the cylinder back from the Cons, then I was by myself. Even though the slates weren't that heavy after about an hour or so of dragging them to Ratchet for logging my arms were getting tired. "Ratchet, how many more of these do I have to do?" I asked after I'd brought about the fiftieth slate over to him for the log, "As many as we can until Optimus returns with the cylinder." Ratchet responded, as usual his optics were still focused on the computer and his typing of the formula into the already long equation. I stopped to take a break for a moment so I could rest my arms before I would go get the next slate. I watched from a distance as Miko hooked her guitar to the nearby amp and strum, a loud sound wave went through the base as everyone plugged their autoreceptors from the noise. Even Bulk, which was weird because he usually loved heavy metal. I couldn't hear what they were saying over the loud ringing in my audio receptors but after I'd finally shaken it out Miko had run over to us with a very concerned look on her face.
"Ratch, I think Bulk's losing his mind." Miko said guestering to her guardian and then turning her attention back to us, neither of us showed any surprise on our faceplates as she said that. "You.. already know." she said disappointingly. "Miko, we didn't want to frighten you. But rest assured Optimus has a plan." Ratchet concluded, "And once Optimus comes back with the cylinder, Bulkhead will be back to normal." I assured her. I knew how worrying it was to see someone you loved slowly forget about you, "Optimus isn't Bulkhead's doctor. I just need to know, when Bulk's done spitting out that formula, he'll go back to being regular old Bulkhead, right?" Miko asked with tears in her eyes, I shook my helm no in the background as Ratchet just looked down sadly. "We shouldn't have told her, now she might do something reckless." I said as we watched Miko walk back towards Bulkhead. "I'm sure it'll be fine." Ratchet said waving me off, I just sighed and went back to waiting for Bulkhead to finish his next slate.
When he was done the next one Ratchet graciously came to help me move it, "Keep them coming Bulkhead." He said as we took it over to the computers. We took it to the pile and set it down with the others and Ratchet went back to logging them. "Don't you think Optimus should have been back by now?" I asked, he'd been gone awhile and I was starting to get worried that something might have happened to them. "I'm sure they're fine. But right now you and I need to go get the next slate from Bulkhead so I can log it." Ratchet responded, I gave a begrudged sigh before joining him to where Bulkhead should've been. "Uhhh, where'd they go?" I asked noticing the lack of Miko in the room, ratchet didn't respond he just went over to the ground bridge to see where the last set of coordinates went.
"They've gone to the monster truck facility that Miko took him to last week." Ratchet finally responded to my question, "I'm going to comm Optimus so he can go help them." Ratchet said moving computers so he could tell Optimus our situation. "Ratchet he might not get there in time, bridge me first and I'll hold whatever Cons are there off until Optimus, Arcee and Bee arrive." I said, Ratchet understood that Miko and Bulkhead were probably in a lot of trouble so it was best to send me now. He nodded his helm and flipped the ground bridges switch and sent me through.
When I popped through to the other side I landed in the monster truck field and ped prints were leading towards the nearest exit and they seemed to be in a bit of a hurry."YOU PAINTED MY PAINT JOB!" I heard Knockout scream, "Ah that's why, makes sense now." I thought as I followed the steps to the parking lot for the trucks. Some of them had been smashed or broken, assumingly in the attempt to find Bulkhead and Miko. "Prepare for surgery!" Knockout yelled again as Breakdown ran at Bulkhead and swung, knocking Bulk out. "Heads, you lose." Knockout said as he stood over Bulk's unconscious body and transformed his blade. "Or maybe you do." I replied making my presence known, which may or may not have been a bad idea. I pulled both my swords out of their case and made a duck from an incoming hammer swing coming from Breakdown, I slid under his arm and around to the other side of him before kicking his back to knock him to the ground so I could get to Bulkhead faster and save him from Knockout.
I ran towards Knockout and Bulkhead in time to see Miko stumble and fall onto Bulkhead after she tried to bash Knockout with the metal pole she was carrying, I stopped when I heard the same warbling sound from this morning and I made a mad dash for Miko so I could scoop her up before the data ejected itself out of Bulkhead. "Get down!" Knockout screamed as the noise got louder and the red glow of Bulkhead's optics got brighter, I managed to scoop Miko into my servo just as the data started to eject itself. "I did it again?" Miko asked, she was crying a little so I put my swords away and held her close to my chassis as we watched the data eject towards the stars. "Bulkhead?" she asked once the light show was over and Knockout took the time to scan Bulkhead's helm, "Dead battery. Megatron will peel our paint for losing that data." Knockout said. I set miko down next to Bulkhead and reproduced my swords, "so we're going to have to peel you." Breakdown said. Knockout transformed his saw again and pointed it towards Miko and I, "That sounds like a you problem and you both know I can't let you do that." I commented as I got myself battle ready.
The whirling of a ground bridge sounded behind me and Miko and that sent a wave of relief through me as Bee, Optimus and Cee came charging through with blasters at the ready. "Or peel out of here." Knockout said as he and Breakdown took off by crashing through a wall, "We need to get him home, now!" I said as Miko's sobbing continued in the Background, Optimus nodded and he and Bumblebee picked Bulkhead up and started carrying him through the ground bridge. I walked over and scooped Miko up in my servo and we went in after them. We reappeared back at base to see Bulkhead already laying on a med berth with Ratchet on the computers, it seemed like everything was hooked up and Bulkhead was stable for now.
"What's the verdict, doc?" I asked as Miko and I approached med bay, everyone else was already standing around Bulkhead and waiting for Ratchet to speak. "The data has been fully expelled, but Bulkhead remains completely unresponsive." Ratchet said, "Because the energy took Bulkhead's mind with it, heavenward, lost to the stars." Miko said, quoting Optimus from earlier. I held her a little closer as she continued to speak and sniffle, "It's my fault you'll never know the rest of the formula, and it's my fault Bulkhead's gone forever." She finished. "Hey, Miko, it's not your fault. Nobody was prepared for this." I reassured softly as I kept her in a hug, "Miko, your quick thinking prevented the formula from falling into Deception servos." Optimus commended. "If anyone would have back played that, it's Bulkhead." Arcee continued sadly.
"It's simply too early to know the extent of his condition. Something as simple as a familiar sight or smell, perhaps even a sound, could trigger Bulkhead's awakening." Ratchet said, "Twinwave, can you put me down next to my amp?" Miko asked, I already knew what she was going to do so I nodded my helm and walked over and set her down next to it. She plugged her guitar in and turned the amp up to max volume before raising her arm and doing one complete chord strum. She let it echo through the amp and she waited to see if it worked, after a moment of nothing she hung her head. "It didn't work." I whispered, not only had we lost Cliffjumper but now Bulkhead too. Everyone held their breath, even through yes we bots don't need to breath, as we waited in silence for a few more seconds to see if Bulkhead would do anything, slowly and faintly a beeping started on the monitor and Bulkhead let out a groan, probably from the mass amount of helm trama he'd just received at Breakdown's servo.
"Bulkhead?" Miko asked hopefully as the suspense continued to grow, in less than a second Bulkhead was at fully upright playing air guitar and making fake strumming noises as he 'played', "I love that song!" he shouted before he turned to face Miko. "Miko?" he asked and everyone smiled in relief as she ran over to go hug him. A sigh of relief went over everyone as we realised that we weren't going to be losing another bot anytime soon, after a moment of emotional tension I started to feel the draining effects of the day weighing in. "I don't know about the rest of you but I think that was enough excitement for today, I mean it was a literal rollercoaster of emotions." I said as everyone watched Miko and Bulkhead hug for a while. I wanted to stay but I was tired from all the fighting and dragging slates that had happened all day and so I went back to my room to have a well deserved recharge.
I hope you enjoyed this chapter, feel free to leave some feedback for me so I can make it a better reading experience for you guys!
