Guys and gals, their should be a poll on my profile whether Miko lives or dies. Have fun voting. I need ten for her to live or ten for her to die. I know I make this look through Caleb's POV, he and Airachnid are the main focus, I just want this to be good. Decepticons, to me!
I don't own Transformers. (I wish I did)
Optimus puts his hand down to the floor. I just look at him. "I will carry while we talk." He said simply. I step into his hand and he picks me up to put me on his shoulder. "Bulkhead, you are assigned to guard Miko." "Prime, what about those two?" Bulkhead points to Raf and Jack. "Arcee has Jack and Bumblebee has Raf. Now do as you wish." With that, Prime walked off with me on his shoulder. After a few minutes, we here engines revving and the others zoom by us in a blur. A door opens and Prime walks through a door with it shutting behind him. He takes me and sets me down gently on to a giant table. "Why are you interested if I have a second in command?" "From the fight I witnessed yesterday, your bots have some sort of Military Protocol. To answer your question, I would gladly take the position if I didn't want to leave already." I sat on the edge of the table. "Why do you want to leave?" "Because, giant alien robots that are after me freak me out and you aren't after me and you still freak me out. I don't know if your going to dissect us or kill us just for knowing you exist." Prime gets a look in his eye but it immediately disappeared. "We do not harm humans. The Decepticons on the other hand, already think of you as an enemy and will harm you to get to us." "Wonderful." "I fail to see how that is a good thing." BOOM! "OPTIMUS!" Optimus puts me on his shoulder and quickly runs to the central room. As we enter, we see Ratchet with a weird look on his faceplate. "Ratchet! What happened?" "I picked up one of those red sticks and I figured out the little string disappears with sparks when lit on fire. Then it went BOOM." I just look at Ratchet. Finally, "Dude, that was dynamite. It explodes and for me, it's hard to come by." "I am sorry for being wasteful, as you humans say, curiosity killed the cat." "Yeah, I'm glad Miko didn't find that first. That would have been bad." A green light starts flashing and an elevator door opens. "PRIME!" "Agent Fowler, how have you been?" "I've been fine. But would you please tell me why I have reports of a car it no driver?" Fowler pulls out a picture of Bumblebee and Raf. Prime turned to Ratchet, "Bridge them in. Now. Agent Fowler, this is the boy I wanted you to talk with."
"Okay, I have an hour. Let's talk." Fowler walks down the steps and Prime sets me down. Fowler motions for me to follow him. "What are we talking about?" "You joining the military."
On the Nemesis
"Starscream, what have you accomplished while I was away?" Megatron asked as he sat on his throne. "Well, Master, we have enough energon stores to last us a few cycles. And we have located a few dozen energon mines across this whole planet." Starscream waited a minute. "I also off lined the Autobot Cliffjumper." "Hmm, well done Starscream. The less soldiers the Autobots have, the faster it will be for us to win this war." Megatron grinned wickedly. "Now, Soundwave, locate Knock-Out and Breakdown." Soundwave's face lights up with beacons and maps. "Excellent." Megatron leaned back and waited.
At base
"Well, Agent Fowler, I graduate Friday. And I get my Diploma the Monday after. Would it be alright if I joined then?" "Sure thing. I take it all those weapons are yours?" "Yes, sir." "Are you a good shot?" "Yes, sir." "Good, I'll sort out the graduation and diploma problems. You just be ready for a helicopter ride." "Yes, sir." Fowler walks off and leaves me on the platform. "I'll be back Prime." With that, Fowler left the base. "Caleb, it has come to my attention that you will no longer go to this… school." Prime said the last word slowly. "Yeah. No more school. I just need to get my Diploma and leave Jasper." Ratchet spoke up, "Why would you leave your home?" I look over, "Well, this place has a lot of bad memories for me. And… I would like to escape them." "Ha! The day a human escapes emotion is the day we can live on Cybertron again!" Ratchet scoffed and went back to working on the computer.
"So, Cybertron, I take it that used to be your home?" "Indeed. Then Megatron started this slagging war and it destroyed our planet." Ratchet slammed his fist down on the table and smashed something. "We lost our planet. It's core gave out. We as Autobots lost databases and data disks that contained valuable information of the ancients. NOW! That information is held by the Decepticon army." Prime spoke up. "Ratchet, you needed that." And he walked off. Ratchet looks under his fist, "Scrap. I did need that." He went back to work.
I just sat up on the platform waiting for the others. Occasionally, Ratchet would look at me and then go back to work. About the fifth time he did it, I looked back. For an alien robots, he jumped. "Why do you keep looking at me?" "Why do you just sit there?" "It's not like I could help. Unless…" "Unless what?" I take my gauntlets out of !y pocket. "You think you could put your tools and human tool into these?" "I don't understand." I then spend the next thirty minutes explaining how the a Swiss army knife worked and how we could do it to my gauntlets. With a crazy smile, "I think I will give it a go." "You mean 'we'?" "Yes, of course." Ratchet and I get to work.
With Arcee and Jack
After a few hours of silence Jack spoke, "I'm sorry to hear that about Cliffjumper." "What would know about loss?" Jack got a little angry. "Well, let's see. My cousin got hit by a car and she was killed. My neighbors shot my dog when I was five. AND I GREW UP WITHOUT A DAD!" Arcee is a little shocked that Jack shouted. And confused because she didn't know what a dad was. Innocently, "What is a dad?" "I don't want to talk about it." With that, they rode in silence until Optimus called them back to base.
On the Nemesis
"You called, Lord Megatron?" Knock-Out asked. "Yes. I did. Go to the medical bay. We have much to discuss." "Yes, Lord Megatron." They headed off to the medical bay. "What is it you wanted to discuss, my Lord?" "To get to the point, I need more soldiers. Can you build me a machine that builds troopers?" "Well, I would hope so." Knock-Out paused. "Because I have the schematics right here." Knock-Out grinned. "It would be wise not to be cracking jokes. Otherwise, I will just crack your head." Megatron glared at Knock-Out. Knock-Out shifts his attention to the tools as Megatron turned to leave. "(clears throat) Lord Megatron," Megatron stops and looks over his shoulder. "What!?" "It seems that a few tools I need are in my lab on Cybertron. You wouldn't happen to have a space-bridge, would you?" Megatron touches his earpiece, "Soundwave! Take us into orbit!" With that, Megatron left and the ship started moving.
On the ground
After the Autobots take the kids home, "Jack…" "DON'T!" He shuts the garage door and slams the door to his house. Arcee watches his heat signature walk to his room and lay down and start shaking. Is he okay? Her scan shows he fell asleep. Maybe he was cold. With that last thought, she powered down.
In the morning, "Hey, wake up." Jack kicks her tire. "What was that for?" "To wake you up. Now let's do some riding. I'm driving." Jack gets on her and puts on his helmet. "Jack, I hate to bust your bubble, but I don't get driven. I do the driving." "And if you want me to keep your secret, I suggest you let me drive." I didn't want to play dirty. "Oh, that is not fair." Arcee huffed. "Fine. But if you get crazy, I'm taking over. Understand?" "Sure." Jack slowly heads down the drive and down the street. "Hey, I can go faster than this." "I know, I'm just heading to an old road before I let you have it." Jack mentally flinched. That sounded way to sexual. Arcee turns a mirror to Jack, "Well, Jack, my understanding of human customs means you need to take me on a date first." And she caught it. Crap.
Arcee laughs a little, then she stops. "Hey, what's wrong with you? I've been driving. You want to or not?" Without thinking, Jack jerks her handlebars to the right and shoots down the exit ramp. "Hey, I have to keep you alive! Why are you trying to get yourself killed?!" "WILL YOU SHUT UP FOR ONE SECOND! I HAVE TO TALK TO YOU AND I DON'T NEED YOU TO MAK IT WEIRD BY BEING FLIRTY!" After thirty miles out of City limits, Jack pulls over and gets off. When Arcee transforms, Jack gets a good look at her face.
Jack takes off the helmet. "Oh boy…"
Chapter three. Not as exciting, but I'm moving along with it. I have decided not to kill Miko, but something tragic will happen to her. Enjoy.
