"M'kay, so, let me see if I got all that. These big robots are aliens from the planet Cybertron?"
"Yes."
"Which was destroyed several millenia ago in a massive civil war?"
"Uh-huh."
"And now they are here tracking the bad guys, aka, the Decepticons?"
"Yep."
"Who are here because our planet was used as a type of storage unit for energon, so now they've come to harvest it?"
"Spot on."
"And this 'energon' is their food source/life's blood/ammunition."
"Nailed it."
"But we've also discovered our planet was actually formed around an old dead Cybertronian guy?"
"Super old, yeah."
"And unicorn man-"
"Unicron."
"Sorry, Unicron - tried to resurrect himself so he could kill Optimus and destroy the Earth and everything else as we know it because he's like… evil incarnate and desires nothing but destruction?"
"Mhmm."
"But you were able to stop him by travelling to the center of the Earth to put him back to sleep, which you were able to do because you teamed up with the boss bad guy – who can read Unicron's mind because he performed a weird blood transfusion type thing on himself using Unicron's energon which created some kind of psychic link between the two?"
"Exactly!"
Raf and Jack watched the entire exchange between Miko and Tess in silence, finding the bizarre summary of their harrowing experiences to be rather comical, in hindsight. The older girl seemed to contemplate everything she'd learned for a solid minute before a wide smile stretched her burgundy painted lips.
"That's some poetic justice, y'know? For so much life to exist on this planet when the thing responsible for our creation wants nothing other than destruction. It's like… a big cosmic middle finger to that Cybertronian douche-canoe."
Miko's eyes lit up at the notion. "I never thought about it like that!"
She jumped to her feet, combat boots slapping the floor as she did so. She did a funny little shimmy, sticking her tongue out at the ground as she blew a raspberry. "Ha, ha, loser! Livin' on you, and there's nuthin you can do about I!"
Jack rubbed the back of his neck nervously. "Please don't jinx it, Miko."
I've always found that little tidbit to be very ironic. Suck it, Unicron!
