The AUTOBOT Kamen Rider: Chapter Seven.

(So onto another chapter of Jack's ride as Kamen Rider Drive as he and his friends uncover the Mysteries of the Roidmude and the Decpticons.

I OWN NOTHING! AND I WILL NOT BE HAVING ANY OF ARCEE'S FLASH BACKS.)

Chapter Start

AutoBot Outpost Omega One-the day after MECH's string of thefts.

After the mess that was the Autobots first battle against the Roidmude, Bulkhead was rubbing his head and digging to dirt out of his joints, gaps and crevices, complaining about dirt. Bumblebee went with Raf and Starfire for a leisurely scouting mission, while Optimus and Ratchet went over the energy readings from the Roidmudes and staying on alert. Krim Steinbelt was seen messing with the Type Speed shift car in the process of replacing components, hoping to avoid rebuilding the armour from scratch. Arcee can be seen watching the sensors of the battle, while sneaking glances to Jack and Miko.

After the battle to stop the three Roidmudes, Jack was seen resting on the couch with Miko, they had started off just sitting next to each other the night before as Fowler was in contact with Director Fury. As the night went, Fowler took his jet to meet with the Director on the HeliCarrier. As the night went Miko had shifted position, so that she was sleeping on Jack's side. When the two had fallen asleep, Arcee had placed a blanket over the two.

Ratchet looked at the data they recorded through the Autobot's internal sensors. "Strange, these readings indicate that those three Roidmudes have taken on traits of Cybertronian technology, as well as something I haven't seen since before we Abandoned Cybertron." Ratchet told the Prime, "But I cannot remember where."

Optimus placed his hand on Ratchets shoulder and says, "It will come to you, Old friend," before he stepped away, "I am going on Patrol. I will be out communications for a period of time." Optimus then transformed into his truck form and left the base.

Bulkhead came into the Main hall with a large brush cleaning the dirt still caking his body when he shouts, "Every time I think I have got all of the dirt off, I find more falling off!"

Arcee looks to Bulkhead and says, "There is an abandoned gas station with an automated carwash still set up," shrugging her shoulders, "nice and relaxing, no humans for a couple dozen miles and has doors." Arcee then turned away from the terminal she was using to find Bulkhead gone.

Ratchet simply says, "He left when you said no humans."

Arcee looks to the human area and sees Miko and Jack still sleeping, "I would have thought he would have taken Miko," before she returned to the monitor when one of the sensors where she see an Energon Reading in yellow stone park. "Ratchet, there is an Energon reading in Yellow Stone Park."

At this point Jack woke up, groggily looking around before laying sights on Arcee's monitor with an image of Yellow Stone Park. Jack then mutters, "I have never been to Yellow Stone Park," causing Miko to open her eyes before closing them and hugging Jack's side harder. Jack looks down and whispers, "Do you want to go see Yellow Stone Park?"

Miko shifted and sleepily asks, "Thats the place with the hole that shoots water right?"

Jack smirked before saying, "It is also the place on top of a dormant super volcano that could end the planet," this got Miko's attention.

"Cool," Miko spoke as she jumped on him to straddle his legs, before she realised their position. She jumped off of him and quickly took her position in the seat next to him as Arcee grabbed her portable terminal.

Arcee walked over to Jack and Miko while she says, "Ratchet I am going on patrol, there was a small Energon Reading, in Yellow Stone Park."

Ratchet nods and says, "Take Jack and Miko with you before she asks where Bulkhead is," he continues with his analysis of the Roidmude attack, muttering, "This was so much easier when I had access to the Cybertron Science Database."

As Arcee walks past she says, "The Decepticon's booby trapped the data, last thing we need is another one of your psychotic breakdowns, when you had to rebuild the computers from scratch." Ratchet grumbles while Arcee walks over to the human area and says, "Hey, love birds," this caused the two to blush. Arcee then smirked and says, "Well I am going on patrol do you two want to come with?"

The two nod while Massive Monster, Max Flare, Midnight Shadow and Funky Spike beeped in agreement. Type Wild then jumped to Jack's shoulder and Krim speaks, "You will have to go without me I need to focus on these repairs and the Analysis," the car then chuckles, "Don't do anything that your age group normally does," before the Type Wild jumped away and towards Tridoron.

Miko shakes her fist at Tridoron as the two humans and four Shift Cars head towards the Ground Bridge. Arcee booted up the portal and the group went straight through.

With Bulkhead

As Bulkhead arrived at the abandoned car wash to see it completely abandoned as Arcee had said. Unknown to him a man on a black, silver and gold bike had followed him and was hiding behind a bolder, outside Bulkhead's sight lines. The biker removed his helmet to reveal Gotou, Miko's current guardian while she is in the United States. He looks to the car expecting to see the driver or Miko to step out. What he was not expecting was for the green car to transform into a thirty to forty foot tall robot activating the car wash and cleaning itself.

"Miko," Gotou says before Bulkhead starts singing in the 'shower', or car wash in this case, "what have you gotten yourself into?" with a raised eyebrow. He watched

Yellow Stone Park-thirty minutes after Arcee, Jack and Miko went to the park.

Arcee walks next to a ridge that Jack and Miko walked along. Arcee is looking at her portable terminal where she says aloud, "The readings back at base said that was Energon here, but I am barely getting a reading."

Miko continued walking as Jack looked to Arcee, before Miko calls out, "Could it have been a meteor, because that looks like something crashed," pointing over the hill in front of Arcee.

Arcee walked to the top of the hill as Jack caught up with Miko. What they saw explained the Energon readings. The ground in front of them was scorched and torn from a high speed impact. Arcee then looks to Miko and says, "Yep, that looks like a meteor impact, clearly very dense and moving at a shallow angle as it entered the atmosphere."

Jack then asks, "So not Energon?" Miko just shrugs.

Arcee then answers, "Looks like it."

While Miko looks at the sky and says, "Could be a piece of that space bridge the cons built? I mean it was powered by Energon and it would have been built with Cybertronian quality materials." Jack and Arcee look at her in disbelief, which is noticed by Miko who adds, "What? It is a perfectly reasonable assumption."

"It's just," Jack started as Arcee finished, "something that we would never have been this smart," where Miko just sticked her tongue out at them. Arcee then says, "Well if it is from that Deception space bridge, there could be some important salvage Ratchet would literally reveal himself to humans willing for."

Jack sighed and says, "Well let's go find this so then Miko can get Ratchet to build her a transforming super suit," as Arcee helped him down the ridge.

Miko got excited and asks, "Do you think he would do that?" as Arcee helped her down, causing Arcee to just shake her head.

The trio walked along the scorched earth for thirty minutes where they find a Cybertronian space craft. Arcee spoke, "This is a Cybertronian smuggler craft, used by Decepticons, Autobots and neutrals during the war," as she touched the side of the crafts hull.

Jack stops Miko from trying to enter the ship before Arcee could. Jack then asks, "So who owns this one?"

Arcee replies with, "I don't know, I will check," Arcee went into the ship leaving Jack and Miko alone.

Miko tried to get out of Jacks grip when she says, "I want to see the inside of an alien ship."

Jack shakes his head and says, "That last spaceship we were on was crawling with Decepticons that were distracted. For all we know, this ship could be booby trapped or even holding something that could cause the apocalypse."

Miko stops struggling and mutters, "Not the first time," she then got out of Jack's grip and crossed her arms and began tapping her foot.

Jack then sighs and asks, "So, do you have plans for tonight?"

Miko shrugs as she places her hands in her back pockets as she turns to Jack, "Nothing much, head 'home' and have some food, have a shower head for bed."

Jack nods and says, "Do you want to have dinner at my house, nothing fancy just macaroni and cheese."

Miko nods and says, "I do like macaroni," before the two see Arcee stagger out of the craft in shock. The two humans ran up to Arcee and Miko asks, "What happened?"

Arcee's eyes looked to the two in utter terror as she replies, "I know whose ship this is," Arcee then stands and places two fingers on her ear and says, "Arcee to base, I need a ground bridge!" All that happened was static. Arcee makes a strained fist, "Damn, The ship must be generating a jamming field."

"Arcee!" Jack shouts to gain Arcee's attention, "Whose ship is this? Is it a Decepticon?"

Arcee instead transforms into her bike form and says, "Get on," the two humans listen to her, where as soon as they got on Arcee sped forward, forcing Jack to grab hold of the handle bars, while Miko wrapped her arms around Jack's waist and having her body rub against his back. After a minute Miko blushes as the cold winds from their speed affected her, revealing she was not wearing a bra, while Jack blushes as well when he notices. After taking them a good distance while also jumping over a deep crevice before stopping and allowing Jack and Miko off, before transforming, and trying her comms again, "Damn, we are still in the jamming feild," before she stares off towards the forest.

Jack looks to Arcee and sees the fear behind her eyes, "Arcee," he says in concern.

Arcee put up a strong front and says, "Stay here," she then looks at Miko before adding, "and keep an eye on Miko," before she transforms into her bike form, speeding off and jumps back over the cliff.

Miko says as Jack starts climbing down to get across, "What are you doing?"

Jack looks back to her and says, "Arcee is scared, she is never scared," before he continues to climb down.

Miko then clears her throat and says, "There is a log bridge right there," pointing to the uprooted tree to the side. Jack looks at the tree before climbing back up. Miko helps Jack back up as they went to the log and crossed, "Whoever owns that must have done something to Arcee in the past."

After twenty minutes of running while following the tire tracks until they stop at a tree that is melting due to a green substance. Massive Monster then jumps off of Miko's holder and proceeds to sniff the substance and he finds the substance revolting. MM then sniffed the ground and started beeping its horn. They followed the small car when they heard a crash of metal on stone.

When they reached the source they see Arcee attached to a large rock with a strange type of adhesive web, with her blaster point forward. Jack and Miko ran up to her from the side where they see a large impact and slash marks on some of the trees. Jack touches the web to find it semisolid, so he and Miko began to pull on the 'webing' as Arcee shouts, "I told you to stay put!"

"Arcee, I saw the look in your eyes," Jack started, "I saw fear, your never scared."

Arcee was silent until she speaks, "Yes I am scared, of losing you or Miko or any of the others," they then hear dark chuckling, "Her name is Arachnid, she hunts indigenous species, and in this case humans."

"Oh Arcee, you spoilt the surprise," Arachnid is female with purple eyes black plating, with horns. (As I said in previous chapters, just search TF Prime Arachnid and you should find an image.) Aracnid revealed her fangs before shot webbing from her palms to restrain Arcee's blaster and says, "So these are humans? They are so tiny. Do they go splat when stepped on?"

"Both of you, RUN!" Arcee shouts before Arachnid webs her mouth.

Jack grabs a hold of Miko's hand and the two back towards Arachnid's ship. Arachnid smirks as she turns to Arcee and says, "I will be right back to snuff out your spark," laughing as Arcee struggles and shouts into her web gag as Arachnid transformed so that her cape turned into six legs.

With Jack and Miko.

Jack and Miko continued to run until they reached more densely cover area of woods and hid behind a tree, both out of breath. Miko took deep breaths as she asks, "did we lose her?"

Jack looked back towards the way they came and says, "I can't see the con," and then the two look up when a small branch falls to the ground.

Above them was Arachnid, smiling sadistically as she says, "Looking for me?" she goes to web the two when Massive Monster attacks the spider con's wrist to change the direction of the web.

Miko and Jack continue running until they reach another crevice, at this point they start to climb down and climb up the other side when, in the time it took for Arachnid to catch up. Miko and Jack reached a steep hill near Arachnid's ship, the two skidded down the hill where they hid behind the support piston, Jack holding Miko from behind and covered her mouth. As Arachnid reached the hill and failed to see Jack and Miko. Miko then silently removed her sneaker where she kicked it towards the inside of the ship making a very large bang. Arachnid smirks before trying to scare them, "Oh Jack where are you and the female?" as she climbs onto the roof.

Miko smirks and gets Jack to follow her. The two silently ran to the side of the craft where they climbed underneath and went to the back of the craft, while Arachnid crawled towards the entrance of the ship. Jack and Miko reach the rear of the ship where the find a large leak in the fuel tanks of Energon, where Jack steps in a large puddle. Jack looks around and finds a large stick that he uses to create a small stream of Energon away from the craft.

As the Energon starts to flow along the small line Jack carved in the ground. Miko then starts to growl at Jack, "What are you doing? We are being chase by a crazy spider con and your playing in the dirt?" they then here tapping from the top of the ship.

Jack takes Max Flare off of his holder and says, "Light it up," before grabbing Miko's hand and running again. Max Flare did just that causing a stream of blue fire to burn towards the puddle as Arachnid jumps down before the ship's fuel tanks ignited. The explosion was large, loud and blue. The shock wave knocked Jack and Miko to the ground while Arachnid was launched over them.

Miko coughed as she shakes her head, next to her Jack coughs as well. Miko looks to Jack and quickly started to extinguish the blue fire on his shoulder, burning her hand slightly, while Jack was fortunate to have chosen to wear three layers on his torso. Miko cradles her hands in pain. Jack gently holds her hands and to check them, before he rips off his long sleeve and uses it to wrap each of Miko's hands, while Jack says, "When we get back, we will need Ratchet to check us for anything that Energon could have done to us."

Miko looked him in the eyes and as she was about to thank Jack, the two were webbed to the ground by Arachnid from above, resulting in Jack and Miko being unable to move and Jack with his face in Miko's chest. Miko looks up at the trees above them where she sees Arachnid's normally black colour had taken on a bright orange tone, and had a murderous glare at the two.

Arachnid tries to crawl out of the tree, the branch holding her large frame shattered and caused the bitch to fall on her face in a loud smash to the ground. Jack raised lifted his head up so he could look at Miko's face with a blush while Miko was looking slightly to the side in minor panic. Jack turned to the side so his cheek was resting on Miko's chest and joins in her panic. Arachnid was about to reach them when they heard a motorcycle engine getting closer before jumping over the two humans and crashing into Arachnid's angry face before Arcee transformed and proceeds to punch Arachnid until she stopped moving.

Arcee turned to the two humans in their compromised position, Arcee smirks before she asks, "Should I leave the two of you alone?"

The two humans just glare at the female Autobot, before Miko looks down and says, "You owe me a diner."

When Jack turns to look at Miko and says, "How about a date instead?" Miko simply nods while Arcee removes the webbing holding them down.

The three then turned towards Arachnid when they hear a large drill, to see Arachnid digging into the ground. "No!" Arcee shouts as she then shoots her blaster down the hole.

"Don't worry," Jack calms Arcee down, "We totalled her ship, and she will not be going anywhere."

"Is that a win, lose or both?" Miko questioned while Arcee nods in understanding. Arcee nods and contacts Ratchet to get a ground bridge, Miko then asks, "So what is your history with that overgrown spider?"

Arcee says, "Back on Cybertron, she caught me and my partner at Tailgate. During the interrogation, she killed him all for information I did not know."

The Ground Bridge Portal opens and Jack says, "Well I have a feeling we haven't seen the last of her, the way she said my name was just creepy, like a crazy ex-girlfriend." The three then walked through the portal.

With Arachnid

Arachnid drilled into the ground until she found a large cavern with decent sized Energon Crystals. Arachnid's body was heavily damaged, as she leaned her body on the rocky wall, within arm's reach of the Energon Crystals. She reached over ripped of chuck of Energon and began to drain the Energon, before closing her eyes to heal.

"I will get you Arcee, and your pets, Jack and that female," She says as her repair systems activate.

That night-Miko's 'Exchange Home'-After Arcee's report to Optimus and Ratchet.

Miko was riding inside of Bulkhead, where the two of them were talking. "I am just saying, I am sorry that I did not take you to the Car wash," Bulkhead apologised.

"It's okay Bulkhead," Miko replied, "I got to go on a scouting mission and learnt a bit about the resident fembot."

"And you got chased by a Decepticon that could possibly be the more sycotic then all of the Decepticon scientis," Bulkhead adds before saying, "That have been known to experiment on any Cybertronian they could find, not even caring about allegiances."

"Let me guess," Miko replied, "They created creatures like Arachnid?"

"Yeah, only less sentient," Bulkhead replied as the weather started to change and it began to rain. Bulkhead then commented, "Well when we reach your place I'll need to find somewhere dry to keep watch."

They reach the front of Miko's residence, where she grabbed her bag, and says, "See you tomorrow," before quickly running through the rain to the front door. Bulkhead drove off once she reached the door. Once she went inside the lights were off, while to television in the lounge was on. She walked to the room as she hears 'music' or singing she wasn't sure what song until she reached the Television and froze.

On the screen she saw Bulkhead singing in the car wash, surprisingly not singing 'In the Carwash.' "So care to explain?" Gotou surprised Miko causing her to freeze, "What have you gotten yourself into?"

Miko just glares at Gotou and says, "Its non of your business," as she crosses her arms, "They are safe away from the people who want take me and I am safe with them."

"Miko, how do you know they are not dangerous?" Gotou argued as he tried to convince Miko, "You need to stay away from that thing."

Miko glared harder at Gotou and says, "Bulk is ten tonnes of wreaking ability and has nothing to do with my grandfather. Then with them I know that the creatures that want me are called 'Roidmudes!'"

Gotou crosses his arms and says, "We will be leaving at the end of the week," Miko's eyes widened before she ran to her room crying. She reached her room and stopped crying as she locked the door and began to pack her current back pack with her supplies and clothes before climbing out her window silently, closing the window behind her before jumping the fence. Gotou knocked on her door, "Miko, look we can't stay here, these Roidmudes could target you here, and we don't know anything about this Robot." He received silence before saying, "We will talk about this in the morning."

Once Miko got over the Fence she started running to the only place she knew could help her. She ran and ran until she reached the address she was given when she discovered the bots with Jack and Raf. A place she knew she would be safe and would receive support and normalcy when she needed it. By the time she reached the front door and started banging on the door while completely doused in water.

It took a few minutes before Jack opened the front door of the Darby house to see Miko shivering and soaked. Before he said anything he let her in and led her to the kitchen while grabbing the blanket off the couch and wrapped it around her. "Miko, what happened?" Jack asked as he did not see Bulkhead behind her.

She shivered as she spoke, "I can't stay there anymore," shaking her head, "If I had stayed, I would have to leave Jasper."

Jack brought her into a hug and says, "How can your exchange family cause you to move away from Jasper? I mean, besides having you sent back to Japan."

Miko went deeper into Jacks arms and says, "I am not an Exchange student," where Jack looks down, "I am the granddaughter of one the world's leading industry leaders of the world. Everything from vehicles, museums, weapons and the reason I am in hiding, his lead scientist from before I was born developed a belt that was made for the collection of a specific metal." She started to close her eyes as she started to shake.

Jack feels her extra movement and says, "you need to get out of those clothes," with a blush on his face.

Miko chuckled into his chest and says, "Subtle," causing him to chuckle.

Jack then becomes serious and says, "You are wet from the rain, completely drenched, if you don't get dry and warm you up before you get sick." Miko simply nods as Jack leads her to the Bathroom and runs her a warm bath. Once the water starts to heat up, Miko dropped the blanket and gave it to Jack and the blanket. Jack then took the bag and says, "Once your done, just use the dressing gown, I will make some hot chocolate and get Arcee to call Bulkhead." Miko nods as he leaves her to get undressed.

Once the water reached an appropriate depth she turned the water off, before removing her clothes and placing herself in the tub slowly. Once there she just relaxes from all the emotional stress, she even looked around the bathroom from her reclined position. It was at this point she noticed the spa jet controls for the tub. It was at this point that Miko realised that Jack has a nice home before she had began to wonder why she hadn't dropped by till now. Miko then fiddled with the controls where she selected the bubble and the message functions of the tub. After ten minutes Jack knocked on the door and said, "Are you okay in there?"

Miko yawned before saying, "it is very relaxing as far as baths go," she ran her hands over her body and asks, "So whats with this house? it's too nice."

Jack chuckled from behind the door and says, "Apparently it has been in my mom's family since her parents live here." Miko hummed before he added, "I gave seen photos of my mum's parents, but apparently they died before I was born. Never knew about my dad's family though."

Miko then asks, "So where is your mom?"

"Working," Jack replied as a bolt of thunder and light strikes outside of Jasper, "Weekends she normally spends her time in the emergency room, people do some crazy things on the weekend, especially teenagers."

"Any embarrassing stories?" Miko asks as the water started to cool down.

Jack laughs slightly and answers, "Well there was this one time when a guy believed one of his mates when they said they could get a date with my mom if he stuffed a two litre bottle up his butt." Miko snorted before Jack adds, "dumb part was that instead of having it removed he spent the whole time flirting with mom until her shift ended. Poor guy needed surgery when the bottle lodged to the point he needed to be cut opened, before mom told him he was an idiot and that she was not interested."

Miko leaned herself so that her arms where crossed on the edge and her back exposed, when she asks, "So your mother is not looking for a new relationship?"

Jack snorted when he says, "My mom may joke about relationships but she has not found someone as far as I have seen."

Miko then got out of the tub and dryed herself off with a towel before sliping on the red bath robe that reached her ankles while the sleeves were longer then her arms. Once she was completely covered she opened the door to find Jack sitting on the floor next to the door. She ensured the robe was covering her body when she asks, "How do I look?"

Jack shrugs before he said, "Its a bit big on you, but then again your shorter then mum," Miko glares at Jack as he gets up and says, "Let's have some hot chocolate." Miko smiles as the two went into the kitchen where they spent several hours talking before Jack let Miko sleep in his room while he took the couch.

The Next Day-Jasper Hospital-Lunch Time.

June Darby was tired, she just completed a thirty six hour day and had just got out of the hospital's nurse break-room where she spent the last two hours completing her paper work. Now she was on her way to the cafeteria, to get some late breakfast/lunch. She walks past the receptionists where the waiting area was set and sees the television in the room showing images of the storm from the previous night.

She then walks past a pair of nurses complaining about not having a social life, causing her to sigh. If she had listened for longer she would have heard the nurse talk behind her back about rumours about June, that started by the other nurses, some of her patients and some of her neighbours.

As June reached the cafeteria, her pager went off. She sighed and looked at the number before heading to a pay phone. The number she dials, and received, "Jasper Secondary School, Welma speaking."

June's eyes widened and replies, "This is June Darby, I just got a message to call. Has something happened to my sin?"

Welma looked at her list and says, "Oh yes we were calling because 'Jackson Darby' never arrived today. Our records also state that the only times was due to an emergency or illness."

June became concern when she says, "I am currently at the hospital I have yet to return home from my weekend shift."

Welma replies with, "Is your son in any danger or shown signs of dangerous behaviour?"

June's eyes narrow and she asks, "What is that suppose to mean? Have you tried calling my home number?"

"We of the faculty believe in keeping an eye on students that are in stressful situations," Welma spoke before adding as June was silently fuming in anger, "We tried calling the home number, but apparently the phone has been disconnected."

June sighs and says, "I will go find out what happened, and for future reference I am insulted that comment about stressful situations," she then hanged the pay phone up before angrily walking away, until she reached the nurse station where she signed out with some closing statements to the receptionist, before she returned to the nurse break-room and heads to the exit.

Roads of Jasper-twenty minutes later.

Gotou is riding his bike through town, trying to find Miko after discovering her not in her room. He had been on the side of her silent treatment before but she had never run off on him before. His growing concern was getting worst as he reached a red light, next to him a brown station wagon with June taping her fingers on the steering wheel while unconsciously revving the engine of the car. Gotou looked to the nurse before the light went green, June did a burn out followed by her speeding away faster than any other station wagon could go. Gotou then decided to follow her due to his old cop senses.

Darby house-Ten Minutes later.

June parked her car in the driveway, and quickly stepped out of her car with her handbag. She went to the garage and checked through the small window into the garage to see 'Jack's' bike. With a raised eyebrow she went to the door and opened the door to see the lounge room with a couple pillows and a different blanket then what she had left on the couch.

She then took another step into her house to see Jack cooking in the kitchen with his back to June, with an island counter with a multi-pack of chicken noodle soup. June then looked to the side to see, a folding bed table that she uses when Jack was sick, along with some toast pieces and a spoon, before he added the bowl of soup he was making.

June looks to her son and clears her throat and asks, "And why are you not at School?" Jack freezes as she then says, "I got paged to call your school just to learn that you decided to play hooky, care to defend yourself?"

Jack simply says, "Follow me," and carries the table with the soup to his room where June sees Miko wearing her robe and with a damp cloth on her head, and sporting a sickly blush, "Miko came over last night and got sick from running through the rain last night."

June's nursing skills kicked in as she examined Miko and says, "She has Acute Viral Rhinopharyngitis," Miko looked at her with fear, "More commonly known as the common cold."

Miko glares at the older woman while jack snickers at the old joke. Miko then complained in Japanese, "Isha to kamitsuna namae wa nanidesu ka?" that translates to 'Why do Doctor's give over complicated names?'

"Sore wa uchigawa no jokudesu," June replied in fluent Japanese, that translates to 'It is an inside joke.' Miko was surprised by this.

Jack looks to his mother and asks, "Since when did you understand Japanese?"

June laughed and says, "Since college, the last credit I needed was to work in a hospital or with a medical relief group. The man in charge was from Japan but spoke fluent English along with five other languages and his reasoning, 'You can't help someone or make a buck without, speaking, reading and understanding the language of the person in front of you.'"

Jack nods while Miko just avoids eye-contact with June, due to a sneaking suspicion of who the older woman was talking about. Jack then cleared his throat and says, "Well anyway Miko slept in here last night while I took the couch, and this morning I find Miko with a high temperature," as he places the meal he was carrying in front of Miko. Jack then sighs and says, "Though she appears she can only speak Japanese at the moment."

Miko just pouts as she eats her noodles, as June says, "She is probably delirious from the virus normally this happens for patients with English as their second language, they tend to speak their native language."

Before Jack could comment the front doorbell went off, so he says, "I will get it." He walked to the front door, answered, "Hello?"

Behind the door was Gotou holding his helmet in one hand as he waits for the door to open, he sees Jack and asks, "Is Miko here?"

Jack closes the door slightly and says, "Who are you?"

Gotou sighs and says, "I am Miko's legal guardian."

Jack glares at Gotou and says, "She is safe, has a cold but she is safe," and then goes to close the door but Gotou places his foot in the frame.

"She needs to come back with me, she can't stay in Jasper," Gotou tried to explain.

"Where is more secure, an tiny town or a tiny town with a cold war missile bunker guarded with state of the art equipment, that can get her anywhere in the world within seconds," Jack states, to shut Gotou up, "Because of you she became so desperate to stay, she caught a cold, so instead of causing her to panic or giving her a mental breakdown," Jack's glare intensifies.

"What reason could you have to help? What right do you have?" Gotou asks before seeing Jack's will.

"I am her friend," Jack answers before kicking Gotou and slamming the door on his face, "Beat it, before I call in a favour." Gotou just stared at the door and mutters about disrespectful teens.

Inside Jack sighs as he leans on the door, before June enters the hall and asks, "Who was at the door," seeing a man through the window on the phone.

"That was one of Miko's exchange parents," Jack answered, "He and Miko had a disagreement which," he then sweeps his arm towards his room.

June nods as she sees the man hang up his phone and walks to his bike. June says, "Well from what Miko was saying, she doesn't want to 'run' anymore." That was when the phone went off and she answered. "Hello," there was several words spoken over the phone, "Yes," she replies before the voice on the other side continues and June says, "Of course," the voice then continues, "Well she will be okay once her fever breaks," she was silent for a minute before she finishes, "Yes Mister Kougami, Miko can stay with us," June nods before, "Sorry for any difficulty," before the phone went dead.

At that point June realised what had happened and then tries to make another phone call only to find the line would not connect. Jack then says, "We can't make outgoing calls on the land line."

"Then why didn't you answer the phone when the school called?" June questioned.

"I only missed one call earlier and there have only been three calls, one from Raf and the last one was from Star, five minutes later, to see if Miko was okay," Jack answered.

June nods and says in annoyance, "That school," she then turns to Jack and asks, "Are you okay, no depressing thoughts or any dangerous actions?"

Jack just looks to his mother before speaking, "Nothing too dangerous," before looking towards his room, "just a lot on my mind."

June looks where she realised what he was talking about, before she smirks and says, "So should I be expecting grand children in nine months?"

Jack's neck turned so quickly it sounded like a whip crack where he says with a blush, "No we just talked for a couple hours, before I let Miko take my bed."

June smiles as she says, "So what brought this on?"

Jack shakes his head and says, "it's not important," Jack then takes a seat before he changed the subject, "Raf and Star will be going to come over. What was that phone call?"

June says, "Apparently Miko's grandfather is well informed and had been told that Miko was having problems and needed a change of pace and had asked me to keep an eye on her when I can."

Jack nods and says, "I'll do what I can."

"I know, apparently this Kougami guy knows about you and believes she is in 'safe hand' and said something about you being welcomed to the family," June said before smirking, "Though it does explain your attitude change lately," June joked.

"Well I should check on Miko," Jack said as he stood.

June stopped him, "Nope, I will handle that you can handle making dinner for three or five depending if Raf and this Star joins us for dinner." Jack nods in agreement.

MECH Facility-Unknown Location in America.

Silus watches the screens in his current location as the three Prototype Roidmudes returned to this base due to their limited range, but it worked for their current mission. With the bonus of this base being a refuelling station for the MECH mobile air-carrier, and after the stealth mission to steal rider belts. Unfortunately for MECH the belts were designed for survival not combat with a single key component missing.

The room he was in was an elevated platform above a hanger. At this point Silas hears a car engine, a jet engine and thunderous footsteps as the doors opened and In drove/flew/walked in the three Prototype Roidmudes, with two in what appeared to be mutated vehicle forms that compressed into human sized bodies.

Hummingbird spotted Silas sped into the air and landed on the rail in a crouch and says, "Hey, Boss man can we go on another mission?!"

Scorpion used its tail to reach the elevated area while Mole tried to take the stairs only for the steps to be break from its heavily dense body weight. Mole just stared at the destroyed step before stepping on the second step, resulting in a repeat of the previous step. Scorpion facepalmed before taking a seat and says, "Please send the road runner on a mission, so that I won't have to hear Bird asking a million questions a minute," Scorpion leaned back and relaxed and says, "Sending all three of us would be overkill to the point of our new bodies just wasting energy." Mole grunted in agreement. Bird then sped to Scorpion's side and starts chattering on and on before Scorpion whipped Bird in the back of its head, knocking the speedy Roidmude away.

Silas looked to the two Roidmudes and says, "Very well, HB1 I have a scouting mission for a possible base location at these coordinates," as he points to the screen with a map location. As soon as the Bird Roidmude saw the coordinates sped to the door they returned to and running on the spot until the door opened a meter and a half wide, the Roidmude ran through before transforming into its jet form and flew out of the base through the three mile long weaving tunnel.

Scorpion sighed in relief before standing and asking Silas, "I need to speak to Banno about our current condition to see if it can be replicated."

Silas nods and says, "He is in the portable terminal on the Stealth air craft."

Scorpin nods and jumps towards Mole and pulled it away from the stairs before walking through another door further into the base.

Darby house-that night

At the Darby house after school Raf and Starfire came over to see Miko, where they met Jack's mother for the first time, where they learnt that she has degrees in medical science and Medical engineering, basically where she has the clearance to run test for finding dangerous illnesses and being able to fix advanced medical equipment.

Currently Starfire was talking with Miko and June in Jacks room while Jack and Raf prepared dinner for the night. In the Kitchen Jack finished up frying the tofu and rice with vegetables. As Jack cooks Raf questions, "So your Mom only buys tofu for meals instead if meat?"

Jack shakes his head and says, "Sort of," he then looks over his shoulder at Raf and says, "Apparently Mom tried it back during her time in college and basically learnt to cook it and taught me to cook it."

"I have never tried it, it's just too expensive for my family," Raf admitted before asking, "So how do you live in such a nice house and yet work at KO Burger?"

June answered as she walked into the kitchen, "Well besides my father being wealthy enough to buy this house and possibly the rest of Jasper if he wanted too, before his passing and Me being an only child."

Raf nods as he does the maths in his head and finds that it checks out. "Freind Miko you look very pretty!" Starfire spoke loudly as she helped Miko to the kitchen, while Miko wears an old sun dress from June's wardrobe.

"I rook dumb," Miko spoke with a strong accent, with heavy eyes

Jack chuckles and says, "Would you prefer a robe?" Miko thought to herself nods in agreement, preferring a robe over a girly dress. "Well you look beautiful anyway," causing Miko to blush slightly.

The night went well, even with Star drinking mustard where June just accepts it. The night went well even when June asked Starfire about her home, surprisingly Star just said that she had recently moved to America due to 'complications' in her home 'country.' After Star and Raf had gone to their respective homes, June helped Miko by setting up one of the spare rooms for her, while Jack replaced the sheets on his bed. It took a couple days before Miko was able to go to school for the second half of the week where Jack and Raf helped her with catching up.

Autobot Base-two weeks later-Friday afternoon

Bulkhead is manning the planetary scanners, because earlier that day, the Decepticon Warship appeared on satellite scanners, when Ratchet was alternating scanning different frequencies and visual spectrums, which resulted in the discovery of an Autobot transport being found in the Himalayan Mountains. Optimus and Ratchet went to check the Autobot signal as Bulkhead kept an eye on the Decepticon warship while ensuring they were armed for a possible assault.

This was when Bumblebee and Arcee arrived with Jack and Miko riding on Arcee while Raf and Star were riding with Bumblebee. Arcee had asked where the 'boss' was and received the necessary answer from Bulkhead, with all the details for a possible mission.

Raf and Star went to the human access terminal for the computer system where Raf set up his Laptop where he begins his data scans of the internet for images for the Bots or Cons while Starfire watched his work over his shoulder.

Jack and Miko went over to Tridoron where they went to talk with Krim where they see several cracked chest plates from stress tests. Krim can be seen glaring at a holo-screen with an unknown atomic structure, he appeared to be crying. Miko questioned, "What is happening, Doc Belt?"

Krim growls before calming down and saying, "I am trying to find an atomic structure that can protect against that Roidmude's toxin," before he sighs and adds, "Everything I have found have possible been able to resist the toxin, cannot handle the same stresses as the origin armour atomic structure."

Jack nods his head and says, "I will just have to avoid that Roidmude's tail."

Krim hums in understanding and begins the creation of a new chest plate that was exactly the same as the original part. Jack and Miko head for the humanoid area where they take a seat near Raf and Star before Ratchet called for a Ground Bridge. Once the two Autobots were through Ratchet shouts, "Stay Back! Optimus has been infected by Plubonic Plague."

Ratchet took Optimus to the Medical birth away from the other bots so that they could not get infected. Ratchet then took his medical scanner and began scanning Optimus' body as Jack asks, "Is it curable?"

Optimus groaned and says, "No cure."

"Decepticons killed thousands with this Plague, created by Megatron," Ratchet spoke.

Raf then says, "Wouldn't the Decepticon's have the antidote, in case Megatron infected himself?"

Ratchet's optics shut tight and says, "Unfortunately the secret may have perished when Megatron was deactivated."

Jack then says, "Wouldn't the Decepticons have a database with the cure or atleast the chemical structure of the plague?"

Ratchet's optics shot open when he says, "Yes," he then rushed to the computer and says, "We have the Decepticon Warship coordinates," he turns to the Autobots and says, "We need a scout and Arcee to infiltrate the Warship while I keep Optimus stable while Bulkhead can act as emergency backup in the event you are discovered."

Three bots nod as Ratchet types the coordinates for a storage room on the ship. Mad Doctor drove over to Optimus and began to scan his structure, and was soon joined by Krim using Type Techic to scan Optimus.

After five minutes they found the toxic plague where Krim speaks to Ratchet, "I have found the toxin but it appears that it has a strange type of mutagenic structure that looks somewhat like a human blood related disease."

Scene Change-Decepticon Warship.

Ratchet nods before Arcee speaks over the communications, saying that they scan the entire database, to find nothing until Bumblebee got their attention where they discovered Megatron still alive, but in deep stasis. Ratchet then ordered them to perform a Cortical Physic Patch, where Bumblebee literally entered Megatron's mind. Arcee had hidden Bumblebee's body where it could not be physically seen before Starscream, Soundwave and Knockout entered the chamber.

As it turns out Starscream and Knockout were trying to convince the silent Decepticon to pull Megatron's plug so that he would become one with the Allspark. Which in this case was bad as Bumblebee was inside the comatose Decepticon leader's mind. Information that Bumblebee used to convince Megatron to unknowingly help the Autobots before Bumblebee left the crazed Decepticon's mind. Unknowned to the scout he had taken a hitchhiker as he returned to his body.

Once their mission was completed Ratchet opened a Ground Bridge that Bumblebee went through followed by Arcee after she shot Megatron's body.

Autobot Outpost Omega One-An hour later.

Ratchet with the help of Krim was able to create an antidote that was administered by Jack through the use of Type Technic and Mad Doctor, where Krim warned and the apologised for the intense pain that Optimus just closed his eyes and took like a bot.

Miko had then asked Optimus, "Do you want some alone time to cry."

Optimus chuckled at her humor and says, "I do not require any 'alone time' but some silence without any 'heavy metal.'"

Miko looked at Optimus and shouts in panic, "Ratchet, Optimus has gone crazy, he made a joke," as she ran to the medic.

Jack, Bulkhead, Arcee, Bumblebee and Raf shot up at this with looks of disbelief, while Starfire looked confused. Bumblebee slowly left the chamber in shock before freezing and his blue eyes turning purple before returning blue and shaking his head and continuing his walk through the base. Optimus closed his optics as he began to rest as Arcee took Jack and Miko back to his place.

Raf waved goodbye as he had promised to spend the night with Starfire and help Ratchet upgrade his computers so that they could hack into the major computer systems, while Starfire aided in the supply of snacks for Raf and handing Ratchet tools that he needed, it helps when she was diligent in helping her friends.

Bulkhead went for the exit of the base, intending to patrol around Jasper while Bumblebee stayed at the base in relaxing from the successful mission.

After several hours Raf was hard at work completing the system programming while Ratchet had gone to get some Energon from their storage to aid Optimus. Starfire was struggling to stay awake as she sat next to Raf. She lasted another minute before leaning on Raf falling asleep. Raf looked to Starfire before looking to the clock to see the time, which showed that it was almost five in the morning so he carried Starfire to the couch.

Unfortunately for Raf, Starfire held onto him as he tried to cover her in a blanket, which resulted with Starfire pulling him onto the couch with her and brought him into a deep hug and she moaned in enjoyment as she rested her head in the crook of his neck. Raf stared at her shoulder before returning the hug as he tried to sleep before eventually falling asleep for five hours before He was awoken by the sound clicks of photos from Miko taking photos of Raf and Star. Raf opened his eyes to find his head in Starfire's chest and his hand on her butt. Raf was about to fall off the couch when Starfire pulled him in closer and grinded on his crotch.

Miko from her position couldn't turn away as she blushed. Jack reached the human area to see what was happening to Raf and covered his and Miko's eyes before pulling her away as Starfire opened her eyes and smiled as she saw Raf's mega blush. She then lowered her face to his and rubbed her face on his and says, "Good morning friend Raf."

Raf raised his hand to her lower back only for Starfire to move the hand back as Raf says, "We should probably get up," he hiccupped, "I also need to finish writing that hacking software." Starfire sighed in sadness before nodding as he adds, "Then we could, um, have a lunch date?"

He finished nervously before Starfire slammed his face into her chest while saying, "That would be most glorious."

Miko from her seat shakes her head in amusement while Bumblebee shakes his head while she turns her head to see Jack doing some simple push ups over by Tridoron. She sighs before going over to the Shift Car race track and began to finishing up some of the details that she felt needed some human flare, or in her case Miko flare when she added some obstacles ranging from silver cans from her pack to breakable barriers made of paper and pencils.

The rest of the weekend was spent relaxing at the Autobot base with no signs of Decpticon, Roidmude or MECH activities. While the Decepticon Warship vanished from the base's sensors much to the younger Autobots' dislike, with Bulkhead upset that he could not drop the bomb on the Decepticons, both figuratively and literally.

For Jack his week was spent going to school, to work, completing his homework with Miko and training his body to handle the Drive Armour.

Hummingbirds location-Abandoned City-Northern Europe-North of Latveria.

In an abandoned city that has not been habited by humans for close to forty years. Hummingbird sat on the top of a random building just waving its legs as it stared at the active volcano with its smoke darkening the sky. As The MECH airbase lowered through the smoke and hovering above Hummingbird, who pointed to the train tunnels in the mountain opposite the Volcano that would let MECH have access to the collapsed tunnels into Latveria.

Mole then jumped of the Airbase, where it suddenly turned on its axis before it corrected itself, while Mole stomped to the tunnel entrence and ripped the doors off of the tunnels before walking into the tunnels as MECH soldiers lowered down in Helicopters while the Airbase flew to a clearing close enough to transport supplies.

Autobot Outpost Omega One-A week later-Friday-Student Free day.

Miko and Jack were set up in the Base while Raf and Star had gone on their lunch date, which unknown to Miko, on the roof of the Base watching the surrounding desert. Star enjoyed the lunch that Raf and his mother had made for the two the night before, but Raf was slightly upset when he found his sibling eating the meal for his date, so on the way to the base he stopped at KO burger and bought a couple dozen burgers for the date. Some of which Miko ate as she helped Jack with his history homework.

It wasn't until Miko saw Bumblebee enter the main chamber from inside the base. Miko shouts, "When did you get back? Weren't you with Raf and Star?" she never received an answer as Bumblebee just went straight to the medical area and destroyed one of Ratchet's microscope in a daze before shaking his head.

"Bumblebee!" Ratchet shouted, "I needed that!" Bumblebee looks at Ratchet before focusing on the crushed Device in his hand and dropping the scrap. Bumblebee then starts panicking as he says in his maths language. Ratchet looked to them and says, "What do you mean you have been blacking out?" Bumblebee beeped again and adds, "And you have been seeing," his eyes widened, "Megatron?"

Optimus stood from the medical birth and says, "That is most disconcerting," as Ratchet began formulating ideas as to 'Why?'

Jack from his seat, "Is there side-effects to that patch he did?"

Ratchet nods his head in agreement, "In some cases, the mind accessed have seen memories not their own, I have never seen what happens to the intruder," he rubs his chin.

Optimus then adds, "or when one of the participants having Dark Energon running through their system," where Ratchet nods in agreement.

"Bumblebee," Ratchet decided the next course of action, "We will have to access your Neural Net and run a full of system scan." Bumblebee nods and heads to the medical station.

At this point Raf and Starfire exit the elevator, much to Miko's shock and Jack's amusement, saw what was happening and Ratchet spent the next twenty minutes explaining what was go on. When Fowler arrived with video footage of Soundwave stealing an important telescope lens from a new super telescope designed by Reed Richards to detect cosmic anomalies, a lens that could be weaponised.

Ratchet completed Bumblebee's stasis mode, before typing on his terminal and says, "Was there anything else stolen, mysteriously?"

Fowler then made a series of phone calls before while Raf and Starfire waited for Bumblebee to finish his scan. Ratchet had spent a great deal of time attempting to find the problem, while noticing different code lines appearing for a second before vanishing before he could read them.

Jack and Miko returned to The Darby house with Arcee, while Bulkhead prepared the necessary armaments for their next engagement against the Decepticons.

The next day-Autobot Outpost Omega One.

After his phone calls, Agent Fowler found out the Decepticons had stolen several materials, from copper, titanium and power converters. It was not until mid day when the Lens' tracking nanites were taken out of the Decepticons' cloaking system. As Arcee returned with Jack and Miko, the look on Jack's face spoke volumes.

Jack had been fired from KO Burger on allegations that he had been giving away free food, the Jasper rumour wheel at it again. Miko had seen the cause, Vince and his cronies had been bugging the owner for free food. What made it worst was the fact that they already replaced him with a much younger female who straight up destroyed an oven with a mop when her phone rang. Miko had softened the blow a little when she kissed his cheek, and Arcee joking about how quickly the place would probably burn down. (;P)

As soon as they had reached the base, Optimus spoke, "Arcee, Bulkhead," as a map of the South Pole with a red spot travelled towards an unharvestable supply of Energon, the largest on the planet. Optimus then relayed his orders, "We need to stop the Decepticons."

Ratchet then spoke, "The temperature has started to increase and it is focused at these coordinates." The map then zoomed in to reveal the Decepticon warship with a ray gun melting the glacier."

Optimus nods and says, "Set the Ground bridge within range of the Decepticons, while out of their sightlines."

Ratchet nods and says while typing on his terminal, "You will be a kilometre south of their position, in a large crevice that will conceal your approach," before he activated the ground bridge and the three Autobots ran through. While Ratchet then detected an internal problem in the base.

When Ratchet left the room Bumblebee's eyes open with purple light before he stepped out of the medical scanner and went to the ground bridge controls before setting the Ground Bridge for a round trip.

"Bumblebee," Raf questioned before Bumblebee enter the Ground Bridge, as Ratchet returned from finding an overloaded hand terminal left near a secondary computer memory storage. Ratchet asks what had happened when he failed to see Bumblebee. "He went through the Ground Bridge."

Ratchet went to the Ground Bridge Controls and says, "He did not go to the same coordinates as Optimus and the others," he brought up the history, "Why would he go there? All that would be there is," his eyes widened as the Ground Bridge opens. Ratchet activated his dual blades and shouts, "What have you done to Bumblebee," all he got was a cocky expression on the scout's face, "Answer me! Megatron!"

Raf, Star, Miko, Jack and Fowlers' eyes widened in shock, before Bumblebee then jumped forward and dented the crap out of Ratchet before throwing Ratchet into the stone wall. Fowler pulledout his gun and opened fire before Bumblebee/Megatron tapped him away with Bumblebee's foot. Miko took her fire axe that she kept on the wall of the human area, and jumped at Bumblebee before she was backhanded her away into a wall from Bumblebee/Megatron before Bumblebee/Megatron proceeded to organise new coordinates.

"Friend Bumblebee," Starfire spoke as Raf stopped her from getting to close, "Why are you hurting our Friends?"

Jack jumped down to Miko as the Trailer Canon rolled up next to her, he checked for a pulse and found one, when he noticed the small lump on her head. Fowler tries to stand before he grips his side and collapses in pain. Ratchet groggily stands with his hand on his dented head, as Bumblebee/Megatron activates the Ground Bridge and runs through, it was at that moment that Ratchet saw the Dark Energon in Bee's hand.

The Ground Bridge closes as Ratchet reaches the controls. Star was starting to form tears when she asks, "What has happened to Friend Bumblebee?"

"Megatron," Ratchet answered, "He must have taken refuge inside Bumblebee's mind so he can restore his body with the Dark Energon that was left at the Cybertronian Graveyard, at Coordinates only, Optimus, Megatron and Myself, knew the exact location."

Jack then says as he supports Miko's Head and helps Fowler, "What will he do to Bumblebee after he returns to his body after it is repaired?"

Ratchet's features hardened before he found the Coordinates that Bumblebee/Megatron and he says, "These Coordinates match the current location of the Decepticon Warship," he then activated the Ground Bridge, "I am going after him hold down the base."

Raf then spoke up, "I'm going with you," Ratchet looked to the young boy before he nods in understanding while Starfire floats up to his shoulder with a determined look.

Jack then spoke, "I'll stay here, to make sure Miko and Fowler are okay." With that the three went through the Ground Bridge Portal.

South Pole-On board the flight deck of Decepticon Warship

Currently Arcee and Optimus were avoiding the Heat laser Knockout was controlling to 'melt' the two, while Bulkhead engaged in mace to hammer combat against Breakdown. Starscream could be seen smiling next to laser turret while Soundwave turned his head towards the side where another Ground Bridge portal opened when Bumblebee walked out. Soundwave stared at Bumblebee, before he went into the ship, that sparked a sense of familiarity in Soundwave.

Starscream had also seen Bumblebee before he shouts at Soundwave, "Soundwave destroy the Autobot scout."

Soundwave nods before he stomps towards Bumblebee as Bumblebee went into the ship. Whenever a Vehicon went to stop the possessed scout, they turn into spare parts from Bumblebee displaying a level of strength and ruefulness on par with Megatron.

On the top Deck Ratchet, Raf and Starfire arrived through a second Ground Bridge portal where they see Starscream, screams at Knockout to stop the Autobot Medic while he had a turn shooting the Autobots with the laser.

Ratchet started tracking Bumblebee/Megatron while Starfire shot of his Shoulder and slammed into the red Decepticon, leaving a small dent in his chest plate, as he was sent flying back by the small missile.

Starfire returned to Ratchet as he and Raf entered the warship and Raf asks, "Did Bee did all this?"

"Megatron is in control of his body at the moment," Ratchet spoke, "This level of destruction was done in self defence, no Energon scorching from Bee's blasters and from what we saw at the base he cannot access Bumblebee's weapons."

Raf then said, "From what I have seen, Megatron may only have access to Bee's physical body, but not his vehicle form. Do you think Bee is resisting?"

Ratchet nods and says, "It is possible, tranforming is considered as a subconscious trigger for Cybertronians or Megatron is just being vain and not transforming into Bumblebee's wheeled form."

Starfire then sent a series of star-bolts at a pair of Vehicons that were about to shoot Ratchet in the back. The trio ran further when they reached the same Medical room that holds Megatron's body. Once inside they find Bumblebee hooking the Cortical Psychic patch cable to the back of Megatron's helmeted head and the back of Bumblebee's head.

Ratchet then shouts, "Bumblebee, you have to fight Megatron's control!" as he reached Bumblebee and placed a hand on him.

Bumblebee/Megatron grabbed the hand and then shoulder through him towards the wall of the ship, sending Raf flying before he was caught by Starfire, who then placed him standing near Bumblebee, while a group of Vehicons were about to enter the room. Starfire then made the choice to protect her friends and roared as she went on the attack.

Raf focused on Bumblebee when he shouted, "Bee, you have to fight him!"

That was when Bumblebee began to laugh with a deep sinister voice before the voice of Megatron came from Bumblebee's masked face, "And what can you do to stop me, all I have to do is this," Bumblebee's hand then stabbed the fragment of Dark Energon into his own body where it spikes, before Bumblebee/Megatron activated the Cortical Patch and Megatron sat up, with a laugh and ripped out the Cortical Patch and says, "and now I have awoken."

It was at this point when Soundwave made his presence know while Ratchet was about to strike, by have his clawed hands against the Doctor's throat. Bumblebee's head shook as he realised what had happened he transformed his wrist canons aimed at Megatron.

Megatron shouted, "Decepticons I have returned," at that Starfire then flew back into the room when a large number of Vehicons arrived with heavy weaponry. When she sees Megatron she flew behind Raf as she stares at Megatron in fear. Megatron looks to Soundwave and says, "Let them leave my ship without harm!" Soundwave looked shocked before Megatron spoke, "I have more pressing concerns, namely Starscream's betrayal. The Autobots and their Human pets are to be escorted off my ship, without injuries," Soundwave nods and opens a Ground Bridge Portal beneath Ratchet and the humans, followed by a portal under Bumblebee.

South Pole-Outside.

Starscream was having a 'blast' where he was enjoying destroying the glacier above Optimus and Arcee, even taking pot shots at Bulkhead which pissed Breakdown off more. As Starscream laughed in joy before the sound of an alien jet gained his attention, when he turned to face the sound, he sees the Cybertronian Jet form of Megatron that rammed into the turrent and flew away with Starscream screaming in terror as Megatron did a flip in the air before he rammed into the flight deck of 'his' Warship.

Starscream stared at Megatron as Megatron had a murderous look in his purple optics. Megatron stomped on Starscream's leg where the sound of metal cracking stopped the fight between Bulkhead and Breakdown.

Starscream then showed his snivelling colours when he spoke next, "Master, your alive!"

"No thanks to you," Megatron spoke as the warship began to fly away from the Autobots while Breakdown was dropped through a Ground Bridge.

"Master, I led the Decepticons in your honour while you were in stasis," Starscream argued.

Megatron then had Starscream's throat in his right hand as he brought his face to Starscreams, "After you took the shard of dark Energon from my spark while taunting my weakened state," his grip got tighter as he says, "Now it's my turn."

Starscream's pained screams are what brought him into consciousness. Once Megatron had stopped to take a break Knockout then spoke, "Lord Megatron I see you are in good health even after the attempt on your life by the Autobots." Megatron glared at Knockout who then said, "I my defence, I was acting in self preservation. Starscream's idea of a sane plan is to melt a glacier covering a large Energon deposit with a laser that could, well destroy the world, after a couple failed plans."

Megatron then asks, "And what about my state of being?"

Knockout looked to Megatron with a neutral mask before he said, "I am a medic, not Shockwave."

Megatron looked down at Knockout before nodding in agreement, "Very well," he then looked to Starscream and says, "Keep him alive, but do not repair him."

Knockout nods and says, "So let him suffer as he heals by himself, gotchya," he then grabs Starscreams leg and began to drag him inside.

South Pole-With the Autobots

Optimus watched as the Warship fly away before he contacts Ratchet, "Ratchet we need a Ground Bridge home."

"Us as well," Ratchet spoke from behind the three Autobots, who turned around to see, Bumblebee, Ratchet, Raf and Star covered in Snow, the former two shivering.

End of Chapter Seven
