A/N: I would like to point out that it is very rude to ask an author if they've got writer's block just because a story hasn't been updated in a while. It's one thing to want to read the next chapter of a story, but it's another thing to be unnecessarily rude to the authors. Please keep in mind that the authors do have a life outside of writing stories and sometimes unexpected circumstances at work or home do pop up and delay chapter postings. Thank you.

Enjoy the next chapter and be sure to check out John2851's page. He's got some really good stories that I believe many of you will enjoy. :)

Chapter 16: The Search

"Prime, why would the Allspark be on Earth?" Agent Fowler asked seriously, hoping the Bots could answer his question. An alien artifact on Earth was not only a serious issue to national security, but also, he had no idea if the Allspark was dangerous, but something told him it could be. He inwardly decided that, even if it went against his superior's orders, he would make sure the Autobots got the Allspark. They would no doubt be able to keep it locked in a safe place the 'Cons couldn't find it. Though the army boasted excellent anti-hacking programs to keep enemies out, he inwardly knew that the 'Cons would be able to bypass that without blinking an eye.

"That, Agent Fowler, is something that I don't know," said Optimus, with a serious look as he too was greatly concerned.

Jazz decided it was time to tell them and stepped closer to his leader and the liason to reveal the reason why the Allspark was on Earth and how it happened. After all, his leader deserved to know that the relic that could save their race was there and the liason deserved to know because now Earth could be, make that was, in serious danger.

"You see, Agent Fowler, during the war for Cyberton, many lives were lost and our numbers were being depleted every second. Knowing that Megatron will not stop at nothing to have the Allspark in his hands, Optimus had no choice but to ship the cube off of Cyberton and into a explosive star galaxy where Megatron would never have thought to look for it," the sabetour explained.

"But that still doesn't explain why it's on Earth," Arcee said, pointing out the fact.

Jazz nodded, as the blue femme was right, and went ahead to explain more.

"I was there when Optimus had to ship the cube out and felt within my spark that the cube changed course. The Allspark is not just a plain old relic that you guys have been finding and fighting for on Cyberton and now this planet. The Allspark has a mind and spark of its own and decided to switch destinations."

When Jazz was done talking, Ultra Magnus took his turn to speak. "And so when we found what was left of us right after Cyberton went dark, Jazz upgraded my ships scanners on finding the cube. And with our long travels, we found a spark signature that might have been the Allspark. To make sure it's wasn't a false find, I ordered Windblade to take Ironhide's ship to go scout the planet."

"And who could have thought that I'll find you guys? Especially you Bulky," Windblade said, holding her husbands hand as the two went to kiss each other.

"Right, and since we entered Earth's atmosphere, the cube turned off its location to prevent the 'Cons from finding it," added Hot Rod

"If Megatron get his hands on the Allspark, it will be doomsday for Earth, as he can use the cube to create a new army, and this planet has plenty of electronics to supply him," Ironhide said in a very serious tone of voice.

"And soooooo...what's the plan?" Smokescreen asked.

"The plan is we are going scout each city, town, and state until we are able to find the Allspark's signature," said Optimus firmly.

Everyone nodded. "For the sake of Earth and Cybertron, good luck," Agent Fowler said sincerely, glad to at least have the Autobots on Earth's side. Earth had a chance to live with them defending it.

Four weeks later...

"Okay sweetie, I've made you plenty of food for about two weeks, so you'll be fine while I'm away," Arcee said while packing Miko her bag lunch.

"Oh, um, okay," Miko said, a little bit disappointed.

Arcee knew that she and the others have been leaving the base for days to search for The Allspark, and Miko felt like she couldn't do anything to help out due to being human. Arcee made her feel better by saying that the girl was more than just a human and told her that she loved her no matter what. Getting a kiss goodbye and waving goodbye to her mom, Miko grabbed her book bag and headed out for school by using the groundbridge. Ratchet had activated it in the alley so that way no one would see the vortex.

A couple hours later at school, Miko was talking to a girl that wore glasses and was the one who had a crush on Raf. Miko was telling her how Raf would like to have a private study with her sometime and she had said yes.

"Cool, thanks Miko, for telling me that Raf wants to hang with me," said the girl with short brown hair.

"No problem, Cindy, and don't forget to give him a kiss on the lips. He's been dying to kiss you," Miko said with a grin, knowing that Raf hadn't even said any of that, but she was just looking out for him. Plus she was hoping that the two would become boyfriend and girlfriend like how she and Jack were. Raf deserved someone too and Cindy was the girl for him. The teenager was sure of it.

Saying goodbye, Cindy ran off to go find her crush while Miko was at her locker getting what she needed for class and was about to close the door and head to her math class. That was, until she was suddenly tripped over, causing her to drop her textbooks and bag lunch.

"Hey! What's the big idea?!" She asked, demanding to know as she got up.

She looked up to see a very hot-under-the-collar, angry Sierra, who was not happy with Miko, the reason being Miko was the girl for Jack and Sierra wasn't, thus causing the snobby girl to be very jealous and furious.

"I don't get it. Why would Jack want to date you and not me? At least I have a parent." Sierra said, smirking at seeing the last part of her statement made Miko mad.

"For your information, Sierra, I do have a mom and she's real. And as for my Jack, he loves me and he wants me to be his future wife. See?" She said, showing the snobby girl her engagement ring.

Sierra's eye started twitching in anger when seeing that ring on Miko's finger. The Japanese girl could have ended right there and gone to her class room, but unfortunately she wanted to add on something more since she had to defend herself all of her life and still hadn't told her mom everything about the abuse she had endured, due to not wanting to upset Arcee.

"And at least I noticed Jack both in class and outside of school unlike you. You just start noticing him when you don't see him that much after-school," she said.

With that, Miko bent down to grab her things and marched away form Sierra, feeling that she did a great job defending herself and wished that her mom was there to watch her daughter defending her honor and herself. Suddenly, Sierra yanked Miko by one of her pony tail buns and pulled her down hard to the ground.

"I show you, you little nobody!" The snobby girl yelled, beginning to punch Miko in the face, thus causing the girl to fight back in defense.

Seeing what was going on, a huge crowd of students came circling around, cheering for the fight while some were filming the fight. While putting up a great fight and blocking most of the snobby girl's blows, Miko quickly remembered seeing her mom and Aunt Windblade doing some hand training in the training room and remembered she was in the exact position as her mom had been. She then immediately knew what to do next.

She pushed Sierra off of her with her feet and then jumped up and grabbed her right arm, pushing the snobby girl down hard and held onto her trapped arm with a lot of pressure, bending it backwards.

"Let me go, you stupid orphan! Or I'll really make you regret it!" Sierra yelled in rage.

"No! And this is for for calling me an orphan!" Miko said as with that, she automatically snapped Sierra's arm, creating a loud snap to echo across the hallway, along with receiving a lot of reaction from the now-shocked crowd. They had been expecting a catfight, but not one to end up with someone having their arm broken.

Sierra screamed out in pain with Miko still holding on to the now broken arm, not letting go as she was still angry at the girl. With late timing, the teachers came and pulled the two apart from each other, calling the ambulance to pick up Sierra. Miko, on the other hand, was serving after-school detention and had to stay put until her mother came pick her up. She hated to be back at detention, but at least she had a good reason this time.

When he heard what had happened, Jack was upset at Sierra for attacking his girlfriend and vowed he would never forgive her for doing that. He had checked on Miko, who had assured him she was alright. He promised to speak with the principal and make sure Sierra was punished too for what she had done.

Now, seated with a book in hand, Miko wondered if her mom was available to pick her up since the Autobots were searching for the cube. She also hoped her mother would understand that she had had no choice but to fight the snobby girl in defense.

"I wish I could help find the Allspark," she thought before she noticed a nicely-equipped, high-tech car pull up in front of the school. Having never seen any car like that before, she looked at it and realized she didn't know anyone who owned something like it.

Suddenly her phone beeped to let her know she had a text message, causing the Japanese girl to look at it to read the message.

"Hey, young human Autobot! Come out and get inside of me so we can go on our mission," it said.

Miko arched an eyebrow after reading it as she looked back outside to see the cool sweet car as she heard the car horn blowing at her. While she would have normally jumped at the chance to ride in a really awesome car, she was very cautious for good reason.

"Wait, are you an Autobot or a Decepticon? Because my mom said never hang with strangers," she texted back and quickly got a text back in reply.

"If I was a Decepticon, then I would blow up your school and kidnap you. Am I correct?"

Nodding back as the one texting her had made a good point, she texted back to tell him that she was coming right out as she put her favorite book in her book bag and snuck out through the window, carefully walking up to the car. The right passenger door opened all the way upwards like she had seen futuristic cars in the movies do and carefully got in, taking in the high-tech dashboard with wide eyes. "Whoa," she said in awe.

Feeling a seatbelt come around her, she settled down as the car took off at an incredible speed, making it feel like she was riding in a spaceship. "Here, let me introduce myself, little one. My name is Evac," came a friendly voice from the speakers.

"Evac? Wait...I remember Smokescreen mentioned his best friend one time before...you're Evac?" She asked excitedly.

"Yep, that's me!" He said, his friendly tone making her relax more as she knew she was safe with the best friend of one of the Autobots she called a best friend.

Well, looks like Evac and Miko have formed an instant bond, yes? :)

Please leave a review for me and John2851, but no flames!
