Chapter 25: Hello, Agent Simmons

Raph continued watching on the fight between Bumblebee and Barricade and could not believe that the fight just moved from the open road to now currently on the streets of Jasper. Raph watched close but not too close while watching people screaming, running, and even begin to film the fight, which he couldn't blame them since both bots were causing a whole lot of damage to the small, usually quiet town.

"Take this!" Barricade yelled when throwing a mail truck at Bumblebee.

Bumblebee grabbed just in the nick of time and spin right around and swung it right back at Barricade, who quickly took out his blaster and blow it up. At that moment, Bumblebee leaped forward and punched the Con hard in the face, sending flying into a building in which was a shoe store.

"Too much for your Barricade?" Bumblebee said, being cocky while having his boxing stance, feeling that he was winning.

Barricade growled and got up and started shooting with both hands.

"Die, Autobot!" He yelled while not caring if some humans got hurt in the crossfire.

"What's taking the guys so long? Bumblebee can't fight for too long since his being too cautious around civilians." Raph said to himself before hearing cars coming his way. Relief filled him as he got up from hiding behind the car and saw Jazz, Ironhide, and Crosshairs driving in top speed. Next was Ironhide in his black truck mode and he transformed rapidly and jump-kicked Barricade far away from Bumblebee and sent him crashing into another building.

"You guys are late," Bumblebee said, highly upset while getting up with his hand on his deep open cut on his side.

"Sorry Bee, but we had to make sure that it's not just him whose out here. Get Raph and let's go," Jazz said while Crosshairs activated the groundbridge.

Raph ran to where they were and got right in without being spotted by anyone else. Barricade recovered from his pain and saw the groundbridge being closed up and got up in anger.

"Soundwave, bridge me out!" He said before seeing his transportation come online. "This is far from over."

Autobot Base...

"Prime what's the meaning of this?! Why did Bumblebee and the others blow their cover and now the news is streaming like crazy!" A highly ticked-off Agent Fowler asked.

Optimus was just as upset about the incident as much as Flower, but knew the situation was minor compared to what is going on now. Plus, he knew one day that their cover would be discovered indefinitely.

"Agent Fowler, this situation is highly important but now this is not the time to panic. As of now, Earth is now at state of being in risk now that Megatron has learned about the whereabouts of the Allspark." Optimus said seriously.

That shocked and put fear in Agent Fowler as this was now a big concern. The nightmare had now become a living reality.

"That, and Barricade is not alone. He told me how many were with him, but one thing's for sure, they aren't just plain ordinary soldiers." Bumblebee spoke while letting Ratchet patched him up.

"I'm afraid that we might have to keep the kids out of the base. Especially Miko. Now that she possesses the same type of energy of the Allspark." Ultra Magnus said, noticing how Arcee was afraid of that.

"Megatron better not come near her," she growled.

They talked more on the situation while Miko listened on and felt sad that she couldn't help, but knowing that this was not the time to be in a pity party. In fact, she had an idea along with a smirk behind it when walking back into her room where Jack, Raph, and Cindy were. Skipping her way inside still having that smile on her face while working her way on packing her things.

"Miko, why are you packing?" Jack asked.

"Because, pumpkin pie, we're all gonna stay at your house temporarily. Just until things calm down. Some summer we're having huh?" Miko said with a chuckle while packing her stuff along with her My Little Pony Rainbow Dash toy in her bag.

Raph nodded his head. "Yeah, we might as well since these Cons are more out and about than usual," he said.

"Wait. Um, I'm very new to all of this and so is this something ya usually do?" Cindy asked with a little nervousness.

Jack shook his head and smiled. "No, however this is a first. But me and my mom are okay with this since she and F-," Jack stopped talking and put his hand on his mouth.

"What's wrong Jack? Is your mom dating someone we know?" Cindy asked with such curiousness.

Jack shook his head in a lie, but Miko had already know since she's been snooping around her mother, aunt, and soon to be future mother-in-law June's conversation and grinned when finding out what they were talking about.

"Jack's mom is dating Agent Fowler for some time now and my poor sweet Jackrabbit is too embarrassed to accept it." She informed Cindy before putting the strap of her bag around her shoulder and guided her best friend out.

Jack shook his head in shame while catching up with the others while Raph comfort him.

"Hey, it's not so bad," the younger boy said. "Now you're mom's got two guys protecting her. You and Agent Fowler."

"Yeah. Still, it's kind of weird," the older boy admitted.

They took the groundbridge and found themselves in Jack's room, settling in very comfortably before Arcee had pulled Miko back in to say something while Windblade did the same to Raph.

"Sweetheart, this is not going to be too long, okay? You know I love you enough to keep you safe even if it means you're far away from me," Arcee said sadly before giving her daughter a kiss on her cheek.

"It's okay, Mom. I know you and the rest of our family will sort things out. Plus, I have my cousin Raph and my tasty boyfriend of mine to keep me company." Miko said with a wink and a smirk.

Arcee smiled at her daughter while inside was highly upset when seeing that Jack and Miko would once again have time to be too touchy, though she knew it wouldn't go too far. She still planned to have a good talk with Jack when things blew over.

"Okay, so when this is all over, we'll still have our summer vacation. Since your mom and dad have given me and Bulky permission to keep you for the whole summer. Cool?" Windblade asked before giving her son a kiss on his forehead sweetly.

"Yes, Mom. See you soon. Love you," Raph said before jumping right out with Miko close behind.

"I'm going to kill Jack if he does anything I don't approve of. I meant that too, Wind." Arcee said with her hands on her hips and an upset look on her face.

"Hehehehe. Well I'm your boat too, Arcee. This is nothing more but an opportunity for Cindy to mess with Raph without supervision." Windblade said before walking out while still being serious.

Hours went by and it soon became nighttime as all four kids were in their pajamas and was playing a game of 'who can last long in kissing' as this was both Miko and Cindy's idea for their boyfriends in which the boys truly didn't mind playing. June, on the other hand, was in the kitchen pulling out brownies for them to eat while watching the news that was still streaming about the incident in which worried her a lot. "Oh boy, I wonder how Fowler is handing this? I just hope this won't effect our wedding planning for August." She said to herself before hearing her doorbell ring. She put on her smile and exited her kitchen, going to the door and opening it. "Hello, June Darby. My name is Simmons. Agent Simmons." Simmons with a smile when showing his badge and went right inside with a group of his men.

"Can I help you, Agent Simmons?" June asked, knowing exactly who he was and she didn't like that he was there.

Just when she asked this, the two heard the kids coming down the steps with excitement on their faces for some brownies but their excitement was quickly dropped and replaced with uneasiness. Especially for Miko.

"Oh, scrap," she said when Simmons took off his shades and smiled at the Japanese girl.

"Why, hello there, Miko. Been a while, has it not?" Simmons asked before ordering his men to search the place from top to bottom along with smashing a few things.

"Hey, stop breaking our things!" June said while putting herself in front of the kids as their protection. Jack placed himself in front of Miko and Raph did the same for Cindy, who took his hand in worry.

"Sorry June, but this is what I needed. That, and all of you are arrested. Especially you, Miko." Simmons looked at the girl in seriousness before one of his men informed him on high energy readings.

Simmons took the radiation scanner and went scanning each person and picked up a high energy readings on everyone else. He stopped on Miko and got a big one from her, which surprised the agent.

"Oh, yes, you're absolutely are under arrest. Book 'em, boys," he said, heading right out of the house while letting his men put handcuffs on June and the kids after putting their hands behind their backs.

"You're making a big mistake!" Cindy yelled out in anger while struggling to break free as she and others were hearded into the car. "My Mom and Dad are both lawyers and police officers and they will sue the pants off you!" She threatened.

"Kid, I'm from a government agency. Your parents can't touch me," Simmons said while getting in.

They separated the kids and June into different cars so that Simmons could interrogate freely with the kids and get answers as they drove out.

"I swear if you lay a hand on those kids, I'm kicking you in all of your butts!" June yelled out from the other car, to which Simmons and the kids heard her.

"Look, Mr. Simmons, this is not the perfect time for you to come arrest us. Trust me, because my mom is crazy and she will hurt someone if it involves me being hurt," Miko explained while her key started glowing with no explanation.

"What the?" Simmons said, looking over and taking off the necklace around the girl's neck, seeing that it held a key. "So this is what we tracked? Because we had tracked two signatures from the same cube. Where do you get this?" He demanded to know.

Miko was about to open her mouth until Jack spoke up. "None of your business. It's hers, so give it back. Now," he said. "And she's right. You're going to regret this."

Autobot Base...

"Optimus, we have a situation. Miko's key is sending us a distress signal." Brains said, messing with the computers to get an exact location, bringing it up on the screen.

Every Autobot looked up to see that June and the kids were captured by Simmons after assuming that he saw the news and now was heading his way out of town, leaving Jasper.

"Boss, we have to go after them. I mean the humans have already discovered that we existed. Thanks to Bee." Hound pointed out.

"Hey, you weren't there when dealing with Barricade." Bumblebee argued back.

"It doesn't matter whose fault it is. Right now we're in a deep situation and we need to do something." Grimlock spoke up after pushing the two bots aside.

Both Arcee and Windblade were highly worried about Raf and Miko and didn't want to even dare to think about what Simmons might do to them, let alone that they may never see the kids again. Drift and the others discussed on what to do in such little time while Optimus had made his decision. Hating that things had gone wild now knowing more Cons were there and the Allspark and maybe their own base is at risk of being discovered. But he wasn't going to let it mess him up as he put his serious face on and turned around to face his fellow family.

"Ratchet, activate the groundbridge to the kids and June's location." Optimus ordered the old medic. "First order is that we're going to get them and June back. No one takes our charges and gets away with it."

Ratchet nodded without even saying a word as he too wanted to get those kids back as they had grow on him for the longest time, especially Miko. Heck, he would die for them if it ever came down to it while the other Autobots felt the same way. Everyone looked at Optimus and knew that he was going to break his own rules and knowing that once they were going to show their faces to the world, there was no turning back when it was all over. Arcee took a deep breath, her eyes set in a glare. "I'm coming, sweetie," she said softly, thinking of Miko.

"Autobots, transform and roll out!" Optimus said before transforming into his truck form and taking off with the others close behind while Brains hopped inside Hound as his transportation.

"Wait, I'm a Dino Bot. I don't have a earth base vehicle mode, only dinosaur mode," Grimlock said with confusion.

Ratchet sighed and rolled his eyes. "Just go already!" He said urgently.

"Okay, okay!" Grimlock said, turning into his T-Rex mode and running right into the vortex.

On the roads outside of Jasper...

"Now, look, I am losing my patience with you kids. Where is my cube?" Simmons asked for like the hundredth time.

"We're not going to tell you anything!" Raf yelled back.

"We rather be locked up then snitch," Miko said angrily.

"Right! So just let it go!" Jack argued.

"You'll never get what you want!" Cindy said bravely.

Simmons just chuckled and laughed at how protective they are about keeping the cube away from him and from the whereabouts of the Autobots. However he knew so much more than the four knew about their kind.

"You kids don't get it, do ya?. I'm trying to protect you from them and our planet. Listen, I know something a lot more than what your so called guardians know. Heck, I can tell you so much information that you'll think twice when hanging with them," he said, being all serious.

This caught all four of their attentions as they could tell that he wasn't lying nor trying to fool them. Miko did not like where this was going and felt scared and wanted her mother more than she ever had before but she had to stay strong and not show fear to her enemies, which is what her family had told her.

"What do you know Agent Simmons? What information that you have about my family's history?" She asked with interest and wonder.

Simmons smirked, seeing it caught her attention and interest and couldn't wait to learn so much about the girl's experience with living with aliens and so interested with the other kids. Just before he could even speak, someone or something suddenly stomped down on the car's engine, causing everyone inside to panic.

"What just happened?!" Simmons yelled before he got scared when the roof of the car was pulled off.

The kids were highly relieved to see who it was that came to save them. Simmons and his men were stone-shocked to see who was looking down upon them with such anger.

"Agent Simmons, say hello to the leader of the Autobots. Optimus Prime," Miko said with a smirk.

The other kids smirked too, knowing that the agent was about to see what happens when you make the Autobots angry.

Uh-oh! I think Agent Simmons didn't read the warning signs. :)
