Chapter 5: De Ex Machina
A week after Convoy…..
Jasper High School
It was dusk and the school was currently busy hosting one of the cruelest things to stick an over active person like Miko….Detention. Unfortunately, Bloom was there too. Just not inside. She was waiting in Bulkhead while holding her head because of the loud music and Bulkhead's singing. "Geez, learn some pitch why don't ya?" Bloom asked and Bulkhead laughed. All of a sudden Miko jumped into the passenger side, and started rocking out with the song. Bulkhead turned the music down and Bloom looked at her. "Miko, I thought you had a history report to do? Did detention end early?" Bulkhead asked, "Did for me" Miko said while buckling her seat belt and leaning back against the seat.
She looks at the rear view mirror on her side and flinches. "Uh-oh, here comes teacher. And she doesn't look happy. Step on it Bulkhead!" Miko said and cowered low into the seat. "Fine, but you have to clean the storage room all by yourself tonight" Bloom said and Bulkhead laughed.
Somewhere in the desert
Bloom was driving them to the base. "Miko, I'm supposed to be your guardian, not your getaway car" Bulkhead said. "You can't just cut detention. What if your parents found out?" Bulkhead asked. "They live in Tokyo remember? And don't even worry about my host parents. I think I scared them." Miko said and Bloom smiled. "We'll see about that" Bloom said and she saw Miko glare at her. "Miko, listen, if you fail High school, than you can't go to…uh, what's the name for it?" Bulkhead asked as they got into the base. "You mean College?" Bloom asked and he nodded. "Ugh! You sound like my parents" Miko said as Bulkhead transformed when they got out. "Aren't they Japanese?" Bulkhead asked while Bloom walked to her group of friends that were sitting in a circle meditating. "Sorry to interrupt girls" Bloom said and she sat next to Musa. "They may speak a different language, but you say the same things." Miko said and Bloom rolled her eyes. "Anata wa, kanja no chīsana ichi ni nakereba narimasen" (You need to be Patient Little one) Bloom said and Miko looked at her while she was meditating. "How do you know Japanese?" Miko asked. "Ask Optimus. He helped me learn so I could go to the Japanese conference that discussed team Prime and all its actions as a liaison." Bloom said and floated a few inches. "Miko, we want the best for you, and that means making sure you go to school, not Jail." Bulkhead said,
"Uh oh, what'd you do?" Jack asked from the railing. "She skipped detention again" Bloom said and was smacked in the head by a toy. "I swear Miko, the next time you interrupt my meditation, I will make a black hole suck you up and send you into space!" Bloom yelled while glowing a red color and facing the assailant. She watched in pleasure as Miko shrink away and hide behind Bulkhead's foot. "Miko, before I became a warrior, I was a laborer, Construction. I could build stuff I could break stuff. And that's it." Bulkhead said once she stopped cowering in fear of Bloom's wrath, and Black holes.
"I love breaking stuff; I wanna be just like you bulk." Miko said obviously ignoring the snickering behind her from the Winx.
"Why would you wanna be like me? When you could be a Medic like Ratchet" Bulkhead asked and Bloom started laughing. "That'll be the day. I'm never going under Miko's care." Bloom said walking up to the lounge. Just then the computer started beeping. "I'm detecting a fresh energon pulse from the nation called Greece. An ancient city, quite historic I believe." Ratchet said and Bloom looked at the girls. "What better way to test out their armor than on some recon. Ready guys?" Bloom asked and the girls stood in a line while they pushed the buttons on their armor cubes.
Musa pushed her button first and she grew to the size of Ratchet. She had the same designs as Arcee, but she had a dark magenta coloring on her chest, arms, legs, and helm while little music notes decorated the tops of her arms, and her hair turned into wires so they stuck out from her helm, and fell to her shoulders in pigtails.
Stella was as yellow as sunny, and had orange decals on her arms like little suns and moons. She was about the size of Bulkhead, and had light gray wiring that showed under her armor. Her golden blonde hair turned into black wires that fell from the top of her helm to her mid back. She was approximately the same height as Bulkhead.
Tecna was next, and her armor was a subdued purple with lines of pink on her arms, and little number decals near her hands. The wiring under her armor was also black and she had black wires coming out of her helm, and fall just above her shoulders. She was almost as tall as Starlight in comparison.
Layla had dark green armor with aqua blue accents on her arms with water droplets on her shoulders, and her hair turned into black wires that fell past her shoulders. She was just as tall as Bumble-bee.
Flora's armor was light pink, and had green lines and accents going down her forearms, and dark grey wires in-between her armor. She stood at shoulder height to Bumble-bee, and was built slightly thicker. She had black wires as her "hair" and it reached to her lower back.
They all stood infront of Bloom on the balcony and Tecna looked over the scans. "It seems we all are within functioning parameters." Tecna said and they all smiled. "Now we probably won't need all of you at once for a while since we have so many bots now. We'll be able to see some action as soon as you guys get trained." Bloom said and they looked at her. "You mean we have to train too?" Stella asked and she groaned. "Great, this is perfect. I can't believe I went through all this and I still have to train!" Stella grumbled and Bloom laughed. "Don't worry, I'm sure Hide won't hurt you too bad" Bloom said and Layla's face got this expression of pain on it. "I thought we were training with you?" Layla asked.
"Nope. I'm not technically a soldier yet. I still have some training to do myself." Bloom said and they all groaned. "Okay, so you all have training tomorrow after school, and you have checkups with Doc tomorrow as well." Bloom said and they all got out of their armor.
"Ancient Greece huh, Field trip!" Bulkhead said and Miko smiled. "I'm coming with Bulk. I need a few more things for my history report." Bloom said getting her camera.
Nemesis
"It's about time Knockout" Star scream said as the medic walked into the command center. "It was a long drive Star-scream. I'm still picking bugs out of my grill." Knockout said getting a bug out from the metal. "That's right, you're one of those." He said. "Come again?" Knockout asked confused. "Never really understood why you, a self-respecting Decepticon would choose a ground based vehicle mode when he could have flight." Star scream said walking around him. "I like the way I look in steel belted radials" Knockout said and scratched his head. "Any news of that human that is associated with the Autobots?" Star scream asked and Knockout looked confused. "Which one? The one with wings on her back or the one with a loud pitched voice?" Knockout asked. "The one with the wings, I am still searching for this new Prime that the Autobots are harboring. I do not understand where they got her, but I need her to be brought here and interrogated." Star-scream said and Knockout smiled. "I would like to get my servos on the human responsible for burning my finish." Knockout said and they walked to the med-bay.
"I take it Lord Megatron is in need of a laboratory assist?" Knockout asked as they got to the doors. "You might say that" Screamer said and opened the med-bay doors. Knockout's face was priceless when he saw their master all beaten and scratched up while attached to many different tubes, and had a giant hole in his chest. "Whoa" was all he said.
Greece
Bulkhead drove through the ground-bridge and stopped to let Bloom and Miko out. "Here we are" Bulkhead said and Bloom smiled. She instantly took pictures of the different ruins that lie around, and saw a cluster of crystals. "So, what are we doing in Greco Ville?" Miko asked. "I'm scouting for Energon, you and Bloom are researching for your history reports" Bulkhead said and Miko sighed. "You punk'd me Bulk, Not cool" Miko said. "I'll tell you what's not cool. Using poor Bulkhead as your getaway car this morning" Bloom said taking pictures of Birds and a wall of pictures. She floated up to the hill above them, and got some cool scenery shots. She floated back down, and stood next to Miko. "I'm done here" Bloom said and went into her armor. Miko looked up at her and she was almost Optimus' height. "Is it normal for a girl Autobot to be that tall?" Miko asked. "Normally no, but I'm not an Autobot. This is just an armored suit I wear to help them in a jam." Bloom said and she stood next to Bulkhead. "The signal's strong" Bulkhead said and looked at the site of dug up earth. "An excavation site" He said and Miko looked up at him. "Whoa" she said. "I know construction" Bulkhead said and finished talking. "According to my scanners, the humans hit energon veins, and they don't even know it." Bulk said and Starlight looked around and focused her optics on a building a few meters away and smiled. "Well look what we have here" Starlight said walking to the building and scanning it. She took a picture of it from her CPU, and with a smaller camera she fished out of her sub-space. Bulkhead must have seen it too because he said. "Whoa. That's Cybertronian"
Nemesis Med-bay
Megatron was still on the Medical Berth and was breathing slightly. "Sadly our inevitably former Lord Megatron has been like this for some time" Star-scream said. "But the crew put it to a vote, that an expert might put him on the road to recovery." Star-scream said. "I've done plenty of body work Star-Scream but I've always been better at breaking them (Transforms his hand into a drill) than fixing them (Puts drill away)" Knockout said and he saw Star-scream tense a little. "It would help if I had my assistant" he added. "I summoned both of you, where is he?" Screamer asked. "We were hot on a fresh energon trail when you called. Breakdown will show when he's through scouting it" Knockout said.
Back in Greco vile
"Why would ancient Greeks paint an energon harvester?" Bulkhead asked and Miko looked up at him. "You know what that round thing is. You're smarter than you let on." Miko said after taking a picture of the fresco.
"And even dumber than he looks." said A voice and Bulkhead turned around to see a blue mech standing where they bridged from. "Breakdown" Bulkhead said. "Miss me?" Breakdown asked. "Like rust in my undercarriage." Bulk said and Starlight charged her Ion displacers. "You know this lunkhead?" Miko asked. "We have a history" Bulkhead said. "And you have a pet, does it play catch?" he asked when he picked up a Greek column. "Catch" he said and threw it towards Miko. Starlight ran to Miko, and picked her up while the column smacked her in the back. Bulkhead was then tackled from behind when the dust of the column made a cloud. Break down and Bulkhead landed a few feet away and Breakdown threw Bulk into the fresco. Breakdown landed on his feet while Bulkhead was busy trying to get to his. "Oops, hope the pretty picture wasn't too important" Breakdown said. He transformed and drove off. Starlight shot at his tailpipe, and left his back bumper singed. "That's what you get for messing with team Prime" Starlight yelled after she let Miko down. Miko looked at him and smiled. "Told you I was good at breaking things." said Bulkhead rubbing the back of his helm. "I always have your back bulk. Got us a picture of the picture" Miko said showing him the picture of the fresco on her phone.
Base
The fresco picture was displayed on the main computer screen of the base and Optimus stood infront of it. "It is indeed an energon harvester. A powerful tool created by the ancients, to remove raw energon from any source." Optimus said. "Greek Gods knew Autobots?" Raf asked and Starlight giggled about his naivety. "No, the ancient's often used the art of a given era to conceal messages. This fresco was likely a sign post indicating a harvester's location, Hidden somewhere on this planet." Optimus said and Jack had this thoughtful look on his face. "Ugh, Optimus, if the harvester removes Energon from anything and you all have energon pumping inside you.." he started saying. "Then the decepticons can use it as a very powerful weapon, this will not be good" Starlight said from her spot next to Tecna in her bot form. Tecna was having Ratchet tighten a few things on her shoulders while they were talking and all the other Bots were standing around listening. Miko looked at Bulk and smiled. "See, you were a genius to total that painting" Miko said excited. "Miko's not wrong, how can the Cons find the harvester without the fresco?" Arcee asked.
"With high speed internet, If you do an image search for Greek god and Golden orb (Types on computer and shows them.) This pops up. It's in a museum." Raf said holding the laptop up. Arcee and the bots looked at it and they looked at Optimus. "That the real deal?" Arcee asked and Optimus had a look of concern on his face. "We're all fragged" Starlight said and the bots looked at her. "Contact Agent Fowler" Optimus said and Starlight nodded.
A few minutes later they heard this. "You've reached special Agent William Fowler. I'm currently on an intensive training retreat, and will be unavailable until Tuesday" his voice mail said. "I hate talking to machines." Ratchet said. "You'd think with the fate of the human race on the shoulders of him and us he would pick up the phone when he was called and a symbol of the Autobot insignia popped up on his screen!" Starlight fumed and Bulkhead laughed at her. "Don't laugh Bulk. Once I tried to call you and when I got home you were fast asleep in your room with a data pad on your chest." Starlight said poking a finger at his chest. "Without Agent Fowler's direct aid, we will have to confiscate the harvester on our own" Optimus said. "Whoa, whoa, whoa! Confiscate? As in steal museum property?" Jack asked a little freaked out. "That sounds Illegal" Raf said innocently. "It is illegal. But it's necessary" Starlight said and Iron hide looked at the young prime with shock. "I do not wish to break human law (Yeah right big guy) but if the decepticons learn of the Harvester's location, they will not hesitate to obtain it by any means necessary. We must act covertly" Optimus said and Starlight burst out laughing which none of them expected to come out of a Prime and looked at her. "I'm sorry, but giant robots and the word covert, are not supposed to be used in the same sentence" Starlight said while wiping energon tears out of her eyes.
"She's right Optimus, no offense, but covertly and giant robots don't go together" Jack while Raf stood next to him. "Museums are public. And they have guards and security cameras." Jack said. "No problem, were small enough to sneak in, and were not a government secret." Miko says and Jack looks at her like she's crazy when she points her finger in his face.
Starlight looked at the girl curiously and started scanning her discreetly and making sure she didn't have some kind of disorder. "Weird girl" Musa said next to her in her armor. "Miko, I'm not sure that's wise" Bulkhead said scratching his head. "But it may be our best option Bulkhead. The more time we debate, the more time we give the Decepticons." Optimus said looking at the orb on the screen. Iron-hide walked up to his old friend and tapped his arm. "Optimus, I'm a little worried about your young femme. She seems a bit UN easy lately and I believe it has to do with the human that terminated her creators. She's been crying a lot while she trains, and she gets even more violent. I think you need to talk to her" Iron-hide said looking at the fallen look on the femme's face as she talks to her friends. "I see what you mean Iron-hide. I will speak to her about it after this mission. Thank you for your concern old friend." Optimus said and the weapons specialist walked away.
Nemesis
Sound-wave, the eyes and ears of the Decepticons was showing Knock-out, Break-down and Star-scream the image of the harvester. "Mhmm, that's definitly it" Breakdown said and knockout looked at the commander infront of him. "Well then I'm afraid Megatron's well-being will have to wait. It's harvest time." Star-scream said with a smirk.
Museum-Night time
The team rolls through with Optimus in front, Arcee behind him, and Bee behind her while Bulkhead was bringing up the rear, with his giant rear. (HAHAHAHAHAHAHA)
They pulled up to the museum and Optimus stopped infront while Arcee and Bulk went to the right and Bee went to the left. "Autobots, confirm positions." Optimus said.
"West ward ho" Arcee said turning off her lights.
-East side check boss- Bee said in his beeps.
"South side covered" Bulkhead said with a little regret in his voice. "Maintain your Guard" Optimus said and shut his lights off.
Base-Ground bridge
"Jack, Miko, Bloom and Raphael. I will have a clear view of you" Optimus said through the comm-link.
"Once you secure the harvester, I will contact Ratchet to bridge you back to base" Optimus added while Bloom still pouted over the conversation she had with Optimus before the mission started.
Flash back 10 minutes…
"Bloom may I speak with you?" Optimus asked while she was fixing her helm antenna. "Sure dad, what's up?" Bloom asked. "It has been brought to my attention that you have been violent and emotional after the incident with the D.I.N.G.S." Optimus said standing infront of her. "I see Hide has been talking to you" Bloom said and Optimus nodded. "I have to take you off the team for a while so you can get your emotions in check before serious harm comes to you, and anyone else." Optimus said after a heavy sigh which shows all the pain and suffering he's been through over the many centuries of his lifetime. "So you're basically grounding me from missions?" Bloom asked. "Not missions entirely. Just Your suit" Optimus said and Bloom looked like someone punched her in the gut, "What, I can't not use my suit. It'll rust!" Bloom exclaimed. "Bloom, it is for your own good. Plus, you've been getting hurt a lot in it, and you need a break" Ratchet said and she looked from him to Optimus. "How long?" Bloom asked clenching her fists. "4 weeks. That should be enough time for you to re-evaluate your emotions and get some training done." Optimus said and she removed the plating on her chin and pushed the button. She shrunk down to her normal 5'8 height and floated up to Optimus' hand. She put the cube of blue and silver metal into his giant servos. "It's for your own good" Optimus said and she walked to the lounge and sat on the couch waiting for them to get done talking.
End of Flash back
Bloom stood with Miko, Jack and Raf on the lift-master waiting for the Ground-bridge to cycle up. "Now since you'll bypass all points of normal entry, you won't need to worry about setting off the alarm. But take care to avoid any security guards." Ratchet said and Bloom didn't even look at him. She was way too mad right now to think clearly. Given after the whole thing with Silas doesn't help with that department, she then gets up the courage to look up and see Ratchet smiling at her.
"I'll be careful. I promise" Bloom said and he nodded. "You better" Ratchet said and they let Bloom drive the lift-master through the ground-bridge.
Museum
The bridge spun up right behind a security camera but was just infront of the large window that Optimus could see them in. they looked around and saw the giant marble statue and a golden orb in its hand. "Opa" Miko said and Bloom shook her head. Optimus flashed his lights at them and Jack nodded. He took over the controls, which earned a look from Bloom, and lifted the lift-master up to the camera. Miko stood beside it, looked at the angle the camera was pointing and she turned her phone upside down to get a picture of it, while the flash went off. She set the picture on the main screen, and set the screen of the phone infront of the camera lens to make it look like nothing was happening.
Outside
Optimus was approached by a red Aston martin (Yes it's the crazy doctor from the decepticons) *whistles* "Sweet rims, 24 gauge? Your real heavy duty, just like my friend here" KO said and a jeep pulled up behind him. The jeep pulled out a gun from the top of his cab, and fired a rocket, Optimus had no choice but to drop his cover, and catch it. If he hadn't, well you'll see. He was pushed back by the force of the rocket's speed, and stopped when his hand cracked the glass. He looked at the kids and Bloom had this "I told you so" look on her face. He looked at them and when he turned around, he saw KO holding a sparking metal rod. KO jabbed it in Optimus' throat and when he stopped, he stumbled forward, and KO looked at the museum while the kids were trying to get the harvester out. He spotted a girl with long red hair, and she froze. KO smiled, and she started swearing under her breath.
Inside
"Its cons," Raf said. "They got Optimus" Jack added. "More importantly is that I don't have my armor with me because someone decided it was a good idea to GROUND ME!" Bloom said a little furiously while KO was going to town shocking the scrap out of Optimus while probably frying his circuits.
Outside
Knock-out, the red Aston Marton, signaled breakdown, and he sped towards the museum. But from the left came Bee and before he could hit him, he was hit with a rocket, and as it exploded, he transformed. He rolled and when Arcee came barreling in, she was shot at by a rocket, dodged it, and ran into Bee while turning. They both flipped over and Bulkhead came from behind while jumping from the roof and back on the ground. He came charging at Break down and when he was about to hit him, Break down beat him to it, and threw him into KO. Which in turn chattered columns of stone outside and then setting off the alarms. Miko, Jack, Raf, and Bloom held the orb while the alarms sounded, and Bloom saw the area look trashed. "There's no way we're getting out of here" Bloom said with a shake of her head.
Knockout sat up from the rather surprising impact, and got out his prod again when he saw Optimus getting back up. He ran for him if it wasn't for a small femme coming out of nowhere. She was light pink (No it's Not Elita) and light blue. The main colors were pink and the accents were blue. She stood infront of Optimus and smirked. "Hey Con" the femme said and KO looked at her. "Who are you?" KO asked. "Nonya" she said and punched him out. He just stayed there.
The femme helped Optimus up, and he looked at her. "I know, you said I was grounded. But can you lecture me when we get home?" Bloom asked. "Where did you get that?" he asked. "Tecna made it for me in case my other one stopped working. Cool huh? It actually looks like I'm your kid now." Bloom said and he shook his head. "We will discuss this later" Optimus said with a glare and she hung her head. She looked behind her and saw the figure of Sound-wave walking to the museum loading area. "We got a problem" Bloom said. Minutes later Sound-wave made off with the harvester and Knock-out drove off with Break-down not far behind. While Arcee shot at their retreating tailpipes. She turned around and saw two kids run out from the building. "Security has Miko and Bloom's Missing" Raf yelled. "Not missing, just in another form" Bloom said and Arcee looked at her with a glare. "You are in so much trouble missy" Arcee said and Bloom stuck her tongue out at her. "What! I'm going in after her." Bulkhead said. "Bulkhead, Miko may be detained, but she is safe from harm." Optimus said.
Inside the security office
Miko was sitting infront of the security guard and watched him drum his fingers on the desk. "Look kid, if this is some kind of prank, you need to know the authorities are on their way. It'll go a whole lot easier if you told me what happened to the sphere" the guard said and Miko smiled. "I was researching my history report. I just lost track of time and got locked in here after closing." Miko said expertly. "So, what's your history report about? I'd love to know" the guard asked making it look like he was interested. "Uh" she said thinking.
Base
"In all likely hood Star-scream will try and use the harvester to gather as much energon as quickly as he can, From the planet's otherwise UN minable energon deposits, Approach with extreme caution." Optimus said while deploying the bots on their mission. Bloom was sitting in her room while she was on house arrest for the next few days. But what they didn't know is that the bots' comm-links were pulled up on her TV and she was able to talk to them.
"Star-scream will not hesitate to turn the harvester on anyone of us. Bulkhead, it is best that you remain here" Optimus said. "So I can bust Miko out of the museum?" he asked. "So you can help Ratchet. You may be Miko's guardian, but she requires human assistance. Agent Fowler remains her best option." Optimus said before driving through the bridge while Raf called fowler again.
"You've reached Special agent William Fowler. I'm currently on an intense training retreat and won't be back till Tuesday." The message said and Raf looked at Bulkhead. "Still no answer" Raf said. "Fowler's probably lounging around on some poolside cabana." He said and smashed a frame welder. Ratchet looked up and growled. Sunny and Sides backed away from the furious medic and covered their helms as a nervous reaction to getting hit so many times with a wrench. "BULKHEAD I NEEDED THAT!" Ratchet yelled and the humans laughed while Bulkhead talked to himself. "We can free Miko if we just return the Harvester to the museum." Bulkhead said and Tecna looked at him like he was crazy. "Why? So the Cons can steal it all over again?" Tecna asked and Bulkhead looked around. "I am so dumb." He said holding his head. "You said it man, I didn't" Jazz said leaning against the wall talking to Iron-hide.
"So how are we going to help Miko?" Jack asked and Ratchet held up an almost finished sphere. "By returning this replica to the museum; the construction of which would be going a whole lot faster if Bulkhead hadn't mangled my frame welder!" Ratchet yelled. "We're already trespassers and thieves. Why not add forgery to the list?" Jack asked. "Man, I wish I didn't bring Miko to that….the painting with the harvester wasn't the only thing we found at those ruins." Bulkhead said. "I'm sorry?" Ratchet asked confused. "Star-scream's not dumb, no matter what kind of tool he has, he's gonna take the easy route." Bulkhead said and Iron-hide walked over. "I'd like to come with you Bulk. I'm starting to go stir crazy and could use some fresh air. Plus, I haven't pounded a Decepticon in a long time" Iron-hide said and Bulkhead nodded. "You twins wanna come?" Bulk asked. "No thanks man, I'd rather not hear Sunny complain about his paint job when we get back." Sideswipe said and he nodded while Sunstreaker smacked him at the back of the head. "I told you to stop calling me that" Sunstreaker said and they all laughed at him.
Greece (Excavation site)-Night time
Vehicons walked around armed and ready for battle while the three senior officers stood together. "Why move mountains now when we have a mother lode of Energon right here for the taking. Courtesy of this gift, from ancient auto-bots" Star-scream said holding the harvester. "Actually Commander Star-scream, it was a gift from break-down and myself." Knock-out said. Screamer pointed the harvester at them and it shot at the Vehicon behind them. The vehicon staggered forward while streams of Energon flowed out of the con, and into the stream of blue light. The Energon was completely drained out and Star-scream looked pleased. "All that Energon, in such a tiny vessel." He said. Knock-out and Break-down looked at the vehicon and then at the seeker infront of them. "Those ancient Auto-bots never missed a trick, Lord Star-scream" Knockout said and the seeker smiled. He pointed the harvester at them and smiled when they cowered in fear. He turned around while smiling and saw crystals behind him. He pointed it at the crystals and little blue streams of light. While the cons watched, Bulkhead and Iron-hide walked behind the pillars. They slid down the cliff discreetly, and Bulkhead ran to sneak up on them, but he stepped on a clay bot. they turned around and Bulkhead hung his head. "Ow Scrap. Get ready Iron-hide" bulkhead said and 'Hide had his cannons out. "Back for seconds?" Break-down asked and they both charged towards him. Knock-out had his prod out while Break-down had his hammer. They went on either side of them and Hide backed up against him. "You take the red one and I'll take the hammer" Hide said and Bulk nodded. Knockout was on Bulkhead's right spinning his prod while electric energon came out of it. They looked at each other and nodded. Just as they were going to get hit, they ducked, and Break-down hit Knock-out in the jaw. The prod fell on the ground and Bulkhead picked it up so he could shock Break-down with it. Once he was down, Bulkhead looked at screamer and then the harvester hit him in the chest.
Iron-hide got up from being smacked down by Knock-out, and saw Bulkhead being drained of his Energon. "You're a big one, this could take a while" Star-scream said and he started to get back up after he fell. He walked towards the harvester; Star-scream looked at him and asked. "Wait, what are you doing?" and Bulkhead walked closer. "What I do best" Bulkhead said and reached for the harvester. He put his hand around it, and said. "Breaking things!" he yelled and punched Screamer In the face. He took the Harvester out of his hand/claw, and broke it. He felt a little woozy but he chucked the golden harvester into the sky and it exploded. The explosion was a large electric blue light show that lit up the whole excavation site. Iron-hide looked up from the still form of Breakdown on the ground and watched in awe at the explosion. Breakdown used the distraction and punched Iron-hide in the stomach while he joined Knockout. Bulkhead had just passed out on the ground from energon loss before the cons walked up. "Huh, he's a glutton for punishment" Knockout said and Breakdown agreed. Before they could finish the job, a ground-bridge opened up behind them and when they turned around, they saw Team Prime drive out, transforming and guns blazing. "Fight?" Breakdown asked. "Mm, Drive" Knockout said and they both transformed and drove away. The team kept firing at Star-scream until he got agitated and flew away. The team ran to Bulkhead and Arcee kneeled beside him with clear worry on her face. Bulkhead just looked up and smiled. "Hey" he said and laid his head back on the ground.
The next morning-Museum-site of robbery
Miko was explaining her history report about Greece and the look on the guard's face was priceless. "And of course the principle of De Ex Machina. The god from the machine. It's that part in Greek story telling where some character shows up out of the blue to make everything right" Miko said obviously not knowing that it was just about to happen. "That so young lady? I'm sure the police would like to hear all about your history report." The guard said and in 3…..2…..1…CUE AGENT FOWLER!
There was a banging on the metal door, and Agent Fowler walked in. "Special agent William Fowler, the stolen property has been located and restored to Museum premises." Fowler said as he showed his badge.
The Guard looks at him and then at the screen. The roman statue held the golden orb just like he said. "The girl comes with me, (reaches inside his jacket.) You dropped your cell phone, found it on the floor. Right next to your history report." He said and left the room with Miko before slamming the door.
Outside
Bulkhead pulled up to the museum and Miko freaked out. She looked to fowler and he nodded. "Off you go" he said and she ran to her guardian. "Good timing Bulk, I was running out of history factoids. Stuff I didn't even know I knew" Miko said excitedly. "Looks like you're smarter than you let on" Bulk said. "Yeah, under pressure." She said. "Me too" Bulk said and started pulling away from the curb.
"I can't wait to finish my history report. I'm gonna write about how Autobots interacted with ancient civilizations." Miko said. "Uh, I'm not so sure that'll get you into College Miko" Bulkhead said and it wasn't until they got out of town when Miko asked him something.
"So what happened to Bloom? She dissapered on us when we made the heist." Miko asked. "She got into trouble. Optimus grounded her from her suit and when she went to save him, he put her on house arrest." Bulkhead said and Miko sat there in shock. "Has he ever punished her before?" Miko asked. "Only when she really messes up. This is the first time I've seen him put her under house arrest before" Bulkhead said as they drove away. "Man, is she even allowed to go to school?" Miko asked. "Yeah, that's the only place she's allowed to go. Straight from home to school, and there has to be an Autobot there to take her home after school. Man I feel really bad for her. She was just trying to help" Bulkhead said getting into the desert. "Why did she get grounded in the first place?" Miko asked. "Iron-hide told Optimus that she was getting a little on edge when she trained with him, and was crying every night after the deal with Silas. She told me that he's the one that off lined her parents. I feel really bad for her." Bulkhead said and they pulled up to her house. "I wonder what my host parents are gonna say when they realize I was gone all day yesterday?" Miko asked getting out.
"They were called by Optimus through a voice modifier, and he said you were spending the night with Bloom" Bulkhead said and she smiled. "Awesome. See you tomorrow Bulk." Miko cheered and ran into her house. Bulkhead drove off to base and he got a message through his comm-link.
Bulk, please save me. I'm super bored in my room and I have nothing to do. Dad took away my phone, and my computer.
"Then how are you sending me this message?" he asked.
"It's a magical phone tecna gave me. I totally love her right now. Gotta go, dad's coming to make sure I did my homework. HELP!"
The connection ended and he inwardly shook his head. "Poor Femme" he said and drove into base.
