Chapter 18: The Allspark-Part Two

Miko quietly snuck past the soldiers that were walking by and quickly hid behind some big boxes of crates when seeing agents in black suits passing by. Slowly poking her head up to see the coast was clear, she continued running to find her first objective before going to the main objective while staying in the dark.

"Man, they should install some lights around here. It's almost hard to see," she pointed out quietly before running to the other section of Sector Seven, finding herself in the Extraterrestrial area, the exact place she wanted to be. She walked in without being noticed with a smirk across her face and looked at the room at the far end that blocked by a electric fence. Curious she went up and stood in utter shock and astonishment as what she saw.

Right in front of her was the Allspark. It was the size of a huge mountain and she could tell it was the real thing, based on seeing the carved Cybertronian language all over the cube. While she couldn't read the symbols, she recognized them to be the same ones her mother had sometimes shown her.

"Cool," was all she could say while staring at the massive cube that was her family's only chance to rebuild Cybertron.

"I know. It's a thing of beauty, huh sparkling?" Came an amused, but friendly-sounding voice.

Miko turned her head to see a small minibot that she realized had to be the one that Evac told her to get before getting the Allspark. "You're Brains, right?" She asked to make sure it was him.

"Yes, that's me, little one. I see you're here to rescue me and the Allspark, am I right?" He asked as he was stuck inside of a glass prison box.

Miko nodded and ran over to him to see if she could get him out of there. "If you want get me out, you have to get the card to swipe the lock pad," Brains said, wanting to get out badly ever since he crashed there on Earth quite a while back.

Miko lifted her head up, wanting to help the new addition to her big family. "Where can I find it?" She asked softly.

Brains turned around and pointed up, causing Miko to look up and see there was an office booth that must have been a security valance. "In there?" She asked in worry.

"Yes, and heads up. The person that has the card is Agent Simmons. He means business," the minibot warned the girl before she took a step to begin walking up to the black metal steps.

Feeling scared of getting caught and maybe not see her mom and family again, Miko reminded herself that everyone was counting on her and also remembered what Evac said that her mom might having second thoughts about adopting her. That thought alone motivated her to continue on and prove her worth to her Cybertron mom that she made a good choice of adopting her. She wasn't going to let them down now.

"Alright, here goes nothing," she said to herself, opening the door and seeing none other than Agent Simmons, who was sitting down at his desk typing on his computer. He stopped typing and looked up at the open door, but saw no one there, thus causing him to get up to go close the door while Miko was crawling towards his desk, finding the card for Brains' prison and quickly swiping it, ducking down quickly to avoid being seen.

"Huh, I need to get that door fixed," Agent Simmons said before sitting down at his desk and resuming his work.

Great, now how am I going to get out of here? Miko thought to herself before jumping up at hearing a familiar ringtone from her phone, a sound that caused Agent Simmons to get up and walked around the desk to see the young Japanese girl.

"Hey, little girl, where did you come from?" He asked in a demanding voice.

"Well uh, uh, um, um," she tried to say, but no words came out as she got up and began backing away from the agent.

Before Simmons could grab her and put her in the interrogation room, the lights began flickering crazily and then everything went dark in not only the room, but also the whole base. The only thing that was lit was the Allspark as it had somehow been activated, giving Miko the opportunity to run out of that room, but not before kicking Agent Simmons in the knee, making him fall to the floor in pain.

Moving fast, the young girl slid down with the stair rail and ran to where Brains was out and dancing, happy to finally be free.

"Haha! The Allspark have been watching over me and you! Now let's return the favor," he said before they heard a horn honk behind them, making them turn in time to see Evac transform into Bot mode and smile at Miko.

"Good work, kid. The Allspark sees you as one of our own and now it wants you to take it back to the base," he said, feeling pride fill him. He had no doubt she'd make a great spy one day.

The three walked to where the Allspark was as it was still glowing. Evac put his hands on the cube, which caused the cube to transformed into a much smaller cube big enough for Miko to hold with no problem. "Here hold this," he said, giving her the cube.

As Miko was excited to hold the only thing that would win the war and bring life back to Cyberton, Evac took out a high-tech three-stand capsule from his back and opened the hatch. Miko handed the cube over so that he could put it inside. After doing so, he closed the lid and pressed down on the keypad, hearing a lock sound a moment later before setting the capsule back on his back and transforming back into his car mode.

"Hurry up and get in. That human is calling his agents to come get us," Brains said urgently, getting inside of Evac while Miko did the same and sat in the driver's seat.

"Get them! They have the cube and our only alien!" Agent Simmons yelled as a group of agents and soldiers pointed their guns at Evac.

"Oh scrap," both Miko and Brains said in unison.

"It's not over until I say it's over!" Evac said, turning up his engine and hitting the gas pedal, driving right at the agents and soldiers, causing them to quickly get out of the way as he drove out in hyper speed, knocking down crates, cars, and even the entrance door!

"Whoooooooo hooooooo!" Miko yelled excitedly as Brains cheered hard with great excitement.

Evac smirked with victory as his mission was complete and now was heading back to Jasper, Nevada, to meet up with the other Autobots and to bring Miko, Brains, and the Allspark to the base.

"Free at last, baby! Free at last!" Brains cheered with his head out of the window, very happy to be free thanks to Miko and Evac.

"Hey Brains, you should probably get your head back inside before anyone sees you," Miko said before hearing her phone go off and now felt it was time to answer it.

On the screen was a text from Arcee that read nice and bold: "Don't worry, pumpkin, mommy is going to save you right now."

"Um, Evac? Brains? I think we're about to have some company," she said.

No sooner had she said that and read the message, the groundbridge opened up right in front of them. "Hang on!" Evac called out as he saw it was too late to stop as he went right through the vortex and made it to the other end where every Bot was watching in shock, having not expected that.

Before things got too crazy, Miko got out of the car and was quickly picked up by Arcee, who had tears of joy running down her face as she started placing kisses on her daughter's cheeks and hugged her tight while still being careful not to squeeze too hard.

"Miko! You're alright!" Arcee said with happiness as Miko loved the sweet attention from her mom. It not only cheered her up, but made her feel happy to be back home too.

Brains hopped out with big smile as he was finally reunited with the Autobots. "Hound! It's good to see you again, buddy," he said, climbing up to where Jack and Raf were as Hound chuckled.

"Brains, I was wondering what happened to you when the war on Cyberton got crazy aggressive," the gunner said as he resumed polishing his pistol.

Evac transformed back to Bot mode and took the capsule from his back and set it down. Everyone was amazed as Jazz had been right about the Allspark being here on Earth and was now safely locked up in a no-signature finder container, which meant the 'Cons wouldn't ever find it.

"Evac? I thought you were dead and joined the Allspark," Smokescreen said, coming over and giving his best friend a handshake.

"No buddy, I lived and it's all thanks to Alpha Trion," Evac said. He and Smokescreen were buds back in the academy and had always fought over the same femme like normal men bots would do, but were very close friends.

"Soldier, why did you take a child from her school and take her on a dangerous mission?" Ultra Magnus asked very seriously as it was dangerous to bring a sparkling to a deadly mission, especially if it was getting the Allspark.

"Well, Sir, it's a long story and...," Evac started to say.

Miko butted in. "He motivated me to get the Allspark and save Brains, so that Mom wouldn't have second thoughts about adopting me or be disappointed in me," she said, coming to her new friend's defense.

Realizing what her daughter had just said, Arcee snapped upright with anger before she set her daughter down and marched right up at the second rookie.

"You told my daughter what?!" She thundered at him, looking ready to bring out her blaster at any moment.

Evac swallowed hard as he knew he was going to get it. "Well ma'am, I thought it would be a good motivator for a child," he admitted truthfully.

Miko, fearing this would get out of hand, went up to her mother. "Evac was only looking out for me, Mom, because...it once happened before," she said softly.

Arcee, hearing that, looked down at her daughter. "What happened once before?" She asked, still angry at Evac, but worried about her little girl.

The teenager sighed. "Back when I first became a foster kid, there was one family that said they were going to adopt me," she said. "But then...I got into a bad fight at school with this one boy that wouldn't stop calling me names and I defended myself, but when the school called my foster parents...they said they made a mistake in wanting to adopt me and regretted even telling me that they were going to adopt me. They brought my things to the school and the social worker had to come get me."

Everyone, especially Evac, was shocked to hear this. Miko tried to fight back tears as she looked up at Arcee. "I just...didn't want you to send me back. I wanted to make you proud."

Arcee picked up the teenager and hugged her close. "Miko, sweetie, I would never send you back," she said softly. "When I signed the adoption papers, that meant that you were my sparkling and I would never, ever, send you away."

The young girl looked up at her mother's face, knowing Arcee only spoke truth. "You promise?" She asked.

"I promise, pumpkin," she said. "Though I don't approve of what you and Evac did."

She shot a glare at the rookie, who had the grace to look sheepish. Arcee sighed before looking at her daughter. "And I'm already proud of you, sweetie. You don't have to go on a dangerous mission to prove it," she continued. "I really should ground you for pulling a stunt like that, but...in light of you defending yourself in that fight at school and retrieving not only the Allspark but another ally of ours...I let it slide this time, but don't do it again."

Miko nodded, feeling relief at that. "Thanks, Mom. And I won't," she admitted. "While it was an awesome adventure, it was kind of scary too."

Evac smiled gently. "You know, the Allspark helped her out," he said, getting their attention. "When she was trapped, it helped her escape. It sees her as one of us."

"Really?" Wheeljack asked in surprise.

"That's quite an honor," Drift said.

"Yeah, you should have seen it!" Brains said excitedly. "And she happened to take down a full-grown agent too!"

Fowler, who happened to come in then, chuckled as he heard that. "Yes, and Agent Simmons is currently nursing a bruised pride that he got owned by a kid," he said with a smile. "And I spoke with my superiors about the incident and they're writing it off as we speak."

"Do they know we have the cube?" Optimus asked.

"Nope," the liason said. "Seems the Allspark destroyed the cameras too and the backup system, so no one knows where the cube is and if you ask me, it's better that way."

"I couldn't agree more," Crosshairs said with a nod.

Miko smiled as she rested in her mother's embrace, happy to not only have brought back the cube and two new family members, but also to be back home safe and sound in her mother's loving arms.

Quite the adventure, hmm? :)
