chapter 3 scrapheap

Bulkhead and Bumblebee found something in the Arctic. Ratchet reminded them how below freezing temperatures can cause permanent system damage. "Ratchet have you learned anything more about our Arctic find?" Optimus asked.

"No Optimus the pod can't be opened while it's frozen." Ratchet said.

Something broke out of thawing pod.

The next day. Ratchet was setting the ground bridge coordinates. "Arcee and I will search for clues to our Arctic find." Optimus said.

"Only till your sensors sound once it drops in the blue zone system failures aren't likely they're imminent." Ratchet said.

"Hey guys." Hannah said getting out of Cliffjumper with a her dog.

"Miss us doc bot?" Miko asked.

"Aren't they suppose to be in school?" Ratchet asked.

"On a Saturday? We have the whole weekend off to spend with you." Miko said.

"Wasn't expecting to carpool what gives Arcee?' Jack asked.

"My turn for exploration duty." Arcee said.

"Too bad it's a nice day for a ride." Jack said.

"Arctic exploration." Arcee said.

"Inside where it's warm." Jack said.

"The Arctic I've never seen snow before." Raf said.

"The conditions are even severe for Autobots." Optimus said. Raf looked disappointed. "But I will bring back a snow ball." Optimus said.

"Cool." Hannah said.

Optimus and Arcee went through the ground bridge. It went on the fritz. "By the Allspark!" Ratchet said.

Hannah sat in chair pulled out a dog toy and began to play with her dog Marcy. While Jack and Miko played a video game and Raf went to explore.

"Cliffjumper, Bumblebee and Bulkhead come over here." Ratchet said.

"You can't boss us around because the boss is out." Bulkhead said.

"The ground bridge is down." Ratchet said.

Bumblebee beeped and shrugged.

"Optimus and Arcee made it through okay it bringing them back that concerns me." Ratchet said. "Now remove those panels chop chop."

Raf found a scraplet. He brought it in.

"AH!" Cliffjumper said.

"Scraplet!" Bulkhead shouted.

"What is a scraplet?' Miko asked.

"The most vile vermin to ever walk across Cybertron." Ratchet said.

"What this little thing?' Jack asked.

"You're giant alien robots scrappy here is harmless." Miko said.

"I kind of believe them," Hannah said. "There are many small animals that can easily hurt a human badly."

The scraplet attacked Raf crushed it. "Now you believe me all scraplets do is dismantle machinery and eat anything metal even living metal." Bulkhead said.

They found out the item was a scraplet trap.

Optimus and Arcee needed to return they got into blue.

The kids and bot split up destroying scraplets as fast as they could. They found out they don't do cold.

Optimus and Arcee were reminiscing. Bulkhead lead the scraplets through. "I'd invite you in but the place is mess." Bulkhead said.

The bots were being tend to by the kids. "Report bio circuitry status." Ratchet said.

"Levels are rising." Jack said.

"How is Cliffjumper's energon levels?" Ratchet asked.

"Looking better." Hannah said.

"Raf keep a close eye Bumblebee's elctropusle monitor and Miko check Bulkhead's interface patch." Ratchet said.

"It's steady." Raf said.

"Looks good." Miko answered.

"You should get some rest to old friend." Optimus said.

"We should be thankful this infestation happened on a Saturday." Ratchet said.

"Are friends maybe small but they are strong." Optimus said. Miko screamed.

"Scraplet?" Jack asked.

"No spider is on it me." Miko screamed ran off.

"Did she scream like a girl?' Bulkhead asked.
