The Destiny Ark 2: Line in the sand
Chapter 4: Compromised
Autobot Base
There was no mistaking what Prime felt just now. Without warning the Matrix of Leadership, nestled in his chest experienced a surge in energy. The sensation was similar yet different; He couldn't help but thought he felt someone was trying to send him a message through the Matrix. Whatever he felt through the Matrix he had a hunch that it came from the old Autobot base.
"Optimus?"
"Optimus!" He heard William Fowler exclaim.
Prime blinked as he came out of his mental fog. He looked at William Fowler; He was standing on the upper terrace that led to his office. Since Predaking's attack on a Naval Carrier, he made it a point to stay abreast of any leads to the metal dragon's whereabouts. He pressed Optimus to have the Autobots out patrolling for any signs of him. Folwer could only hope Predaking would foul up and give away his position before he could inflict any more damage on US military personnel.
"I said is there any leads on that huge flying lizard?" Fowler asked.
"I am sorry Agent Fowler, I have my team out doing patrols, and hopefully they will have more information for you soon." Prime reassured.
Fowler silently nodded and went back to his office, Leaving Prime to return to his thoughts. Jack saw everything unfold and stood up from his newspaper.
"Optimus ? Are you ok?" Jack asked.
"I am Jack, why do you ask?" Prime asked as he knelt to see Jack better.
"Because you seem a little more distracted than usual, and you never get distracted." Jack said "Something's on your mind I can tell."
Prime resolved to the truth "Indeed I am distracted Jack, Yesterday I felt a surge of energy from the Matrix of Leadership, except it wasn't from my Matrix. "
"So it was from another Matrix?" Jack asked " I thought there was only one."
"it is Jack, which is why I'm troubled, more so that I felt this surge originated not far from us, From the old base I feel." Optimus said as he pulled up the images of the destroyed base. It was little more than a hollowed out shell, the handiwork of the Decepticons a few months ago.
"So you think there something at the old base?" Jack deduced. " Arcee is out on patrol, let me do a quick hop there and see if there is anything there"
"I'm afraid I could not ask you to do that Jack." Prime said but was soon cut off from Miko..
"It's no prob Optimus!" She said excitedly as she leaned on Jack. "Jack Rabbit and I can go check out the base and bring back pics!"
"Very well but do not stay long, " Optimus warned.
Old Autobot base,
General Darby made the call to move their base camp to the halls below, a brief rain shower last night threaten to short out their equipment. They also found a backup generator near the Truck depot. Miko found the wiring there was still intact and she could boost her signal and work more efficient.
After breakfast Lt Fuentes started her daily medical assessments. She was under orders from June to make sure to check for strange pathogens in this dimension that may not exist back on their world. June didn't want the mission to fail because of a sickness from some alien pathogen. Dorothy checked the water backwards and forwards and felt it was safe for them to drink.
Rooster was able to scavenge a TV and restore it enough to get a few channels, the more they knew about the world they were in the better they felt they could maneuver it. Another thing this world had that theirs lost when the Decepticons took over was the World Wide Web .June spent all morning scanning the news channels, she bookmarked some sites to news stories that she found relevant to their mission. June was busy reading about an attack on a US carrier in the pacific when she was interrupted by Sierra.
"Yes Captain?" June said as she looked up from the laptop
"Miko and I made the adjustments to the dampeners per your instructions." Sierra said as she handed June a bag with hardware in it. "Why would you have us take down the settings like that?"
June took one of them and examined it. "Because they are set for Decepticons, and right now there's only the Army guarding the entrances to the remains of the Decepticon base. We need these dampeners to muffle our appearance to any alarm device they have put in place. "
"Are you sure we'll find something at that base that the Decepticons or the Army hasn't already lifted?" Sierra asked.
"A base that big?, " June smirked "By the look of the wreckage, I can ascertain that it stood at least five miles high, And the size of the operation handling the wreckage? , no way they have salvaged everything from the Decepticons.
The two women were soon joined by Rooster and Bam Bam, "General, we've finished setting up the camp's defenses." Rooster said as he pulled up the holodisplay of the camp on his wrist computer.
"We set up Magnetic mines all along the corridor leading to our camp." He said as he pointed to the blue hallway and red spots line all along either side. Magnetic mines proved to be effective against the Decepticons, as they were mines with powerful magnets. The mine would arm itself as soon as it was lifted off the ground. When the mine made contact with metal skin the detonator would prime and three seconds later the mine would explode, shredding any Con in the near vicinity.
"Also at the end of the hallway we set up the two robot sentries in cross angles. "Bam Bam said as he pointed out the larger red dot at the end of the hallway. "If anything survives the mines, the robot sentries will cut down any stragglers"
June looked at the schematics of the defenses and felt they would be adequate to protect the base and anyone in it. She stood up and waved everyone over. Soon her team gathered around her.
"Today's objective is we are going to infiltrate the Decepticon base and search for any clues, whether they are about the Arc Reactor or what happened to the Autobots. "She said as she turned on her holodisplay and showed the map of the surrounding area." Now from Captain Miller's reports, the Army has checkpoints at the three roads leading up to the wreckage. We are going to avoid them and take the truck to this point. "She said as a point highlighted itself on her map.
"From there we'll go on foot, knowing the Army they will have motion sensors and mics planted all over the place. This is where the dampeners come in. With the settings tweaked, we should register as wildlife, If we encounter any resistance, use the stunners, Do not kill unless absolutely necessary!"
"Lt Fuentes you're with us on this mission. " June said
She could tell something about that stirred Fuentes wrong, and true to June's suspicions Fuentes immediately spoke up.
"You want me along?, so Miko will be here by herself?" She asked with valid concern.
"Yes Lieutenant, I need an extra gun and who knows what we will encounter while we're there, besides with the new defenses put up Miko will be safe." June reassured.
Lt Fuentes then felt Miko smack her against the arm. Dorothy looked at her as Miko signed a rather rude series of gestures. The whole of which seem to say, "I'm a big girl, so back off!"
"Don't you take that tone with me!" Dorothy bit back. "I know you're fourteen and a half!"
New Autobot base
June and Agent Fowler had just arrived at base after a longer than usual lunch date. They walked into a semi empty base, with Ratchet and Optimus monitoring the Autobot team as they scanned the earth looking for stray Predacon signals. Raf was busy helping Ratchet maintain the bases computers and communications. June searched for where her son was. She finally found him as he and Miko were standing by the ground bridge controls.
"Hey!" She called out as she walked over to him " I brought you two back some lunch!"
"Thanks mom!" Jack smiled "We'll eat it when we get back!"
"Now where are you going? ", She asked puzzled " I got off early from work today, I was hoping we could hang out."
"Optimus received a strange signal in his Matrix thingy!", Miko said " So we're going to the old Autobot base to check it out!"
"Woah woah! " June interceded "The old base?, Do you think that's a little unsafe?"
"M-Mom, its okay!" Jack explained "We aren't going to stay long, just to snap a few pics , I'm sure we won't find anything."
June softened her gaze at him that was a mix of worry and slight disappointment. Jack knew that look and dreaded it the most.
"We'll be safe, I promise!" He said as Miko took him by the arm.
"C'mon Jack Rabbit!", Miko sang as she opened the ground bridge.
June watched as the two teenagers disappeared through the green vortex.
As soon as Jack and Miko exited the base, they saw they were back in the old base. But now an eerie quiet filled the base. It seemed more like a tomb than the base they once called home. The first thing they noticed that the floor had various puddles of water. And a few birds flew about startled that their home had visitors.
"Wow, The Con's really did a number on the base!" Miko said as she squinted looking up at the sky in the wide open hole that was created by the Nemesis's superlaser.
"This is the first time we've been back since the Cons attacked " Jack said as walked around and looked at the old places they use to hang out at that were now charred and wrecked. There were twisted metal and boulders strewn about the old base.
"C'mon Miko! " Jack said "Let's take the pictures and get out of here. This place gives me the creeps now."
As they walk around exploring the base, Jack didn't realize how right he was. For little did they know they were being watched by Knock out and Starscream and a squad of five vehicons, that had just ground bridged into the base not more than ten minutes earlier.
"Well, Well" Knock out said "This lost cause just turned prosperous!"
Starscream nodded "The Autobot pets will prove useful!, Fan out and lay a trap for them. I want them alive!"
Darkmount
General Darby led her team past the sensors and up to the base of the wreckage. They made their way around the rubble as they saw the entire base was being guarded by two lone soldiers. June quietly signaled to Lt Fuentes who readied a pistol. She aimed at the soldier on the left and shot a high powered dart that was filled with a powerful sedative.
It hummed as it flew through the air and hit its mark; the soldier on the right saw his partner slump to the floor and barely had time to register it, before the second dart hit him on the neck as well. She quickly ran over and checked to make sure they were still breathing. Dorothy looked back and gave a thumb up. The rest of the squad came out of cover and examined the former fortress. They had seen structures like this back on Earth. When the Decepticons conquered a section of a country or a city, they would construct a building or monument like this to show the populace that their home was no longer theirs.
"Let's stick together, Keep your eyes open. Remember there might be traps still active.." June warned.
They walked through the gnarled wreckage of the former Decepticon stronghold. There were various floors still intact, with no elevators system working or power in place; June's squad resorted to using their grappling hooks to help hoist them up to the upper floors.
"Man, " Bam Bam said as he helped lift up June and Sierra over the railing. " Looks like the Con's of this world had a bad day!"
"Yeah I'm kinda curious myself as to what happened exactly." Sierra said "General, what happened during your time here?"
June sighed and thought of the right words to say to describe her time here, it felt like yesterday when she woke up in the Destiny Ark after having been blown to another dimension.
"The first thing I remember was waking up when this kid shook me hard; apparently he was associated with the Autobots of this universe. See unlike our universe, the Cons and the Autobots came to this planet together. They waged a war in secret, and during the course of it they came to be guardians of three teenagers. The one who found me happened to be the son of my counterpart here!"
"HA!, " Sierra chuckled " What are the odds?"
"Tell me about it," June said "During the week here the Ark was heavily damaged when terrorists tried to seize control of it. It was beyond repair, I wasn't about to leave empty handed. I-I couldn't do that. During my stay I learned the Autobots had the spark extractor. I spent three days formulated a mental plan to take it. But…." She trailed off as she appeared to stifle some tears.
She cleared her throat " I stayed at the house of my counterpart, I saw the life she lived, with a son I didn't have. Also in this universe, my sister never died when she was nine, she grew up and went to medical school. I saw the woman my April should have become. That dumb kid, Jack" She said as she remembered him " I would have done it too, I would have used the spark extractor on those Autobots, But that dumb kid grew on me. "
"What happened next?" Lt Fuentes asked, enthralled by June's story.
"I couldn't do it, even as I stood seconds from the portal, I couldn't let that one part of me that was still decent die, and on that day my leap of faith was rewarded." June said "It was then the Autobot leader, Optimus Prime gave me the beacon to signal the Autobots of our universe, and the rest they say is history."
"General!" Rooster shouted "Hate to break up the hallmark moment but I found something you might be interested in!"
The squad rushed over to Rooster's position as she stood up from kneeling, and at his feet were the remains of a Vehicon. Its lower body was crushed by a large metal beam. Its right arm was trapped and its left arm was tore off by the elbow, still its head and chest were intact.
"Well I'll be dipped!" Bam Bam said as he smirked.
"I'll say," General Darby said with controlled excitement. "Captain, can you hack into its data core?"
"Watch me!" Sierra said as she knelt down and took her laptop from her pack. She took a knife and jabbed it into the base of the head. She twisted the knife and pried open the back casing, exposing the wires and data core. Sierra clipped two wires from her wrist computer into two wires that connected the Data Core to its spark.
"Even though its spark is gone I can still access its mainframe. At least see what it saw in its final moments!" Sierra said as she began to type away at her laptop and hack into the Vehicons memories. "Got it!, I'm in!"
Sierra put down the laptop, and switched on the holographic interface of her wrist computer. She turned a small dial to move back through the Vehicons memories. Starting with its last memory, its last memory they saw what it saw as the Vehicon ran though the hallways, It stopped with a group of Vehicons as they were met by a Furious Starscream.
"You all! Go and assist out master!, If he falls I will have your spark!" Starscream shouted.
It ran with a group of Vehicons, they were headed for the exit, when the celling began to shake, they stopped and looked at the ground beneath them began to give way.
"Get out of here! Go! Go! Go!" It heard a voice scream, as it began to fall and everything went black.
"Captain, go back further, I want to see the events leading up to its last days." June ordered.
Sierra licked her lips and she dialed the knob back even further. She stopped as it stood on the deck; it was with a group of other Vehicons as a ground bridged open before them. The Vehicons all ran through it and surrounded the Autobots. They were in a metallic world and they had their guns pointed at Team Prime as three of them held three chambers, in them were Jack,Miko and Raf.
"You have the keys Megatron!" Prime said "Let us take the Humans back to Earth!"
"Oh I wouldn't do that! "They saw Megatron say "they will be much safer here!"
June and the squad then learned that Megatron had the keys to restore Cybertron, but rather than just restore Cybertron, He sought to Cyberform Earth into a second Cybertron. Prime could not stand by and watch as he tore through the Vehicon ranks and with a huge sword cut through the Omega Lock destroying it.
"Prime sacrificed Cybertron to save earth…" June said
The Vehicon's memories then switched to Earth as it was a part of a squadron that attacked the Autobot Base. Through radio chatter, they learned that Megtron learned of the Autobot base's location in his brief time in the Autobot base during the fight against Unicron.
They saw the Vehicons point of view as it flew through the air and fired on the Autobot base. June then saw as the Decepticons Ship Nemesis hovered over the base and fired its Superlaser obliterating the base. Gloats of the Decepticon victory soon filled the radiowaves.
"Is there more?" June asked, her voice dripping with contempt.
"Hang on…" Sierra said as she accessed some more memories.
These were of the Vehicon as it flew reconnaissance missions. Through its radio logs General Darby and her team learned the Autobots survived as efforts to scavenge the base for the Autobot bodies came up with nothing. The search for the Autobots came to a close when the Autobots mounted a full on attack on Darkmount.
They watched as the Vehicon was now a part of a team that was tasked with guarding Shockwaves lab. They listened as the Vehicon noted radio chatter about the Autobot attack on the ground and sightings of an Autobot called Ultra Magnus. Then came the news that Optimus Prime had returned. Suddenly the Vehicon heard an order for all units to report to Megatron's throne room. This Vehicon never got the chance as the base collapsed on it. The video feed to the Vehicons mind ended at white fuzz filled the holodisplay.
Sierra then went back to her laptop; she saw something in the program that was running that caught her interests. She typed away at the keyboard and found what she was looking for.
"General!" She called out. "I think I found the codes to the ground bridge unit here!"
She pulled up a schematic in her holodisplay, and in it June could see the interface code for the ground bridge.
"According to this their ground bridge unit is still intact!" June said in amazement.
June quickly radioed to Miko. " Miko! We are sending you codes for the Decepticon ground bridge! , Can you run an encryption code and run it through the Autobots Ground bridge systems?"
"I thought the Autobots Ground Bridge was offline permently?" Sierra asked
"Miko and I checked it over, only the control panel was damaged, but the relays in the Autobot base somehow survived the attack. With the Ground Bridge controls and codes we can wire the two systems from Darkmount and the Autobot base and make a working ground bridge!" June said "Now send the control codes to Miko, She'll know what to do!"
Sierra used the Vehicons Data Core to signal what was left of Darkmount's computers that were damaged but in stasis. She took all the info on the workings of the Ground Bridge and sent them to Miko.
"That's it for Sparky here." Sierra said as she unplugged from the Vehicon and patted it on the forehead.
That must have jarred something loose in the Vehicon as it all of a sudden came back alive. The squad saw at its visor glowed red again and it moved its head and body around trying to free itself.
"k-k-k-kk-k-Kzzz! K-c-c-Can't m-m-m-move!" It's sputtered as it tried to speak.
"Captain what's going on!?" General Darby growled as her troops pointed their rifles at the trapped Vehicon.
"I-I-I don't know General!" Sierra said "Maybe its spark was dormant!"
"Wh-Wh-What's happening!?" The Vehicon gasped.
"You just helped us understand what happened to the Autobots and the Decepticons of this world. "General Darby said to the Vehicon as she stood over it.
"I-I-I did!?" It coughed.
"Yeah, you told us all we needed to know." General Darby said as she drew her pistol from her holster and pointed it at the Vehicons head "Thank you…."
Then June unloaded four armor piercing slugs into the Vehicons head, executing it. It sparked violently, as its spark finally died out for good.
Old Autobot Base
Resistance encampment
Jack took a few snapshots with his camera, Already he started to feel uneasy being here. He remembered the time he spent here fondly, but like this base those memories were in the past, Distant memories of happier times amidst the backdrop of a war on earth. He often wondered what his life would be like had he never met the Autobots. He would more than likely still be working away at his job at KO Burgers, studying for the SAT's and admiring Sierra from afar. It was then that his heart took a thump. In the events of the fall of the Autobot base, Jasper was destroyed by the Decepticons. Agent Fowler worked quickly to have the town evacuated; Still Sierra was listed as among the missing. Given the amount of damage the Cons caused the town, Jack had an uneasy feeling that Sierra didn't survive the attack. At school a small memorial was set in place for her, Students from all over the school laid flowers, teddy bears or notes at it. Jack would then have dark thoughts that she might still be alive had he never encountered the Autobots. Those thoughts he forced out, He knew he would only drive himself crazy by playing the game of "What If' and "If only".
Jack chose to focus on the present and what he had control over or thought he had control over, Like Miko who was busy scaling a partially torn staircase that once led to their hangout spot. Jack remembers the day Miko and Bulkhead brought back a brown couch, and gradually the kids brought in other stuff to make the Autobot base seem more like home.
"Hey jack! " miko called out as she stood near the remains of the railing. "I think I found some of Raf's comic books! They're somewhat readable!" She yelled. She held in her hands as few semi charred comic books. Jack smiled a little then squinted as he saw a shadow behind Miko move toward her. He barely had time to yell out her name before a Vehicon leapt over the platform and snatch up Miko in one swipe. Jack started to run and he too found himself scooped up and facing the face of Knock out.
"Woah!" he yelled as he felt metal fingers tighten around his body, he struggled as he tried to kick his way out to no avail.
"Well ,well ,well.." Knock out said "If it isn't the she Human's offspring!, If the Autobots don't come running, surely she will!"
Darkmount
"Can you get the ground bridge working again? "General Darby asked over the radio to Miko.
Miko finished examining the files and schematics of the ground bridge. She pulled up her voice box system and responded to June.
"If I can access the interface from the computer here I can remote access the Decepticon's Space Bridge. From there I can remotely control the Decepticons Ground Bridge." Her voice box said in a dull droll.
"Then stop wasting time talking to us and do it!" June ordered.
Miko stood up and slung her tool bag around her and slid her laptop into it. She knew her orders and ran to the freight elevator, closing the door; she took it one level up. She exited the elevator and walked into the booby trapped hallway. She walked past by the robotic sentries; as she walked by they quickly registered her as human. She quickened her pace past the magnetic mines. Sure she had very little metal on her to actively alert the magnets in the mines; still she didn't want to take that chance.
She ran through the damp hallway and stopped as she reached the corner. Immediately she froze as she saw the upper part of the Autobot base was now occupied by Decepticons. She turned back the corner and hid out of sight.
"Miko! Something else we foun-" Miko heard her radio go off but she quickly switched it off. Miko then activated her wrist comm and sent a call to General Darby. She hit mute before June could answer the call. She saw June's face appear in the holo display silently wording with her mouth.
Miko held the sign of the Devil in front of her face, the signal for Decepticons. Miko pulled down her Occulus goggles and opened a live feed of what she was seeing. She looked around the corner and showed that Decepticons had invaded the base.
"Shit!" June exclaimed loud enough to get everyone's attention "Look at this" She said as she showed Sierra and company the live feed into the base.
"Decepticons!" Sierra said
"And look, they have hostages…"June said as she saw Jack in the hands of a red Decepticon with a white face.
June typed in a text to Miko, Miko breathed hard as the size of the Decepticons injected her with pure fright. She held a hand to her heart as the words of June came over her goggles"
"Miko, you need to go and set up the remote relays…" June texted,
Miko gulped and shook her head from side to side quickly. June knew from the shaking of the camera what Miko's answer was.
"We can't drive back it will be too late and we risk losing the element of surprise I NEED you to do this Corporal!", June texted back.
The feed then began to shake as it looked down, June could tell Miko was crying.
"Lemmie see" Lt Fuentes cut in as she saw the image." She's freezing up General, let me talk to her. "
Lt Fuentes then sent her own text to Miko "You can do this Miko!, You're not who you use to be! You're stronger now!"
June then sent a pic file from Miko's feed to her. Attached to the pic was this message " Miko, You see that girl in the picture? That's YOUR counterpart, she gave you those
Dolls!, Don't leave her to the cruelty of the Decepticons!"
Miko gulped as she got a hold of herself. She looked at the girl in the picture who was her counterpart and who looked very different than Miko did. This Miko wore her hair in two ponytails and had pink dye into parts of her hair. Not unlike Miko who wore her hair straight down. It was the color of black with faded specks of dirt and rock smeared into it. This Miko also wore trendy clothes not unlike the olive drab green cammies , Mute Miko wore. She saw another text from June appear in her inbox.
"Miko if we go back the way we came it will take too long, we have to ground bridge in if we want any hope of saving them!" June texted, "Do you copy?"
Miko got her breathing under control and focused " I copy, Ground Bridge will be open in 10 minutes." ,Miko texted back.
Miko turned the corner and crouched low, she had to move very quietly and use the shadows to make her way to the Autobot relays. By the way the six Decepticons stood she saw a clear path around that would take her to the relay. She just had to move quickly, carefully, and quietly. She could hear the voices of the Decepticons admits the grunt and shouts of Jack and Miko
"Say Screamer" Knock Out said "If we can't find the energy signal, I bet the Autobots could find it for us…" He suggested as he held Miko in a tight grip.
"Why yes, Knock out! "Starscream agreed "And while we're at I bet we could ask for the return of any said artifact the Autobots might have!"
Miko could hear The Decepticons as they attempted to hail the Autobots. She moved in silence and hid from out of sight behinds the several piles of rubble and debris left scattered all over the floor. Where the Cons were standing is where the Liberty League squad had their base camp set up. Miko was silently grateful that June made the decision to move the camp downstairs and Miko was even more grateful that she and Bam Bam cleaned the area of all their junk. Miko finally realized that by cleaning their campsite they hid any trace of their being there. Miko waited and watched the cons as they chatted and looked around the base. She could hear Starscream talking with a voice over the coms. She didn't pay the conversation any mind as she used the opportunity as a diversion for her to get to the relays.
She finally reached her target and saw that the computer case was warped slightly. She was sure she was small enough to fit inside. She made one last check to make sure she was out of sight and quietly wedged herself inside the massive mainframe. She quickly went to work as she began splicing wires and connected into the Autobot mainframe. She had to work fast as she set up her network within the mainframe.
It only took her minuets to finish her work. She held her breath as she texted a message to the General. "Ground Bridge is set. I can bridge you in now." Miko texted,
She quickly received a message back. "Good Job Miko, are you back at the Camp?"
"No I am still upstairs, I am hiding in a computer mainframe, and there are six cons with their hostages.", Miko texted back.
"Ok stay where you are and stay out of sight, Send us a bridge into our encampment." General Darby sent back.
Within seconds a green ground bridge opened before General Darby and her squad. She quietly made the hand signal for her squad to "Lock and Load" Her squad got their rifles ready as they entered the portal. This ground bridge was untested and they was a probability they could end up anywhere in the base. June went first and led her team through. June breathed a sigh of relief when she saw they were back at their base.
"Ok , Here's what we are going to do!" June whispered as she took a knee, her squad joined her in kneeling as she laid out a plan. With their understanding of General Darby's plan they made their way up to the next level.
"Stay sharp kids" June said as the elevator opened up, "From this point on stay silent, you'll never know what we might run into."
The Elevator opened up and they filed out with Sierra taking point. They moved through the darkened hallways. As they turned the corner Sierra stopped and raised a fist. The squad immediately crouched and waited. Sierra motioned for June to come up and silently pointed out what she saw in the hallway before her. It was a figure not that far in front of them making their way in the dark. Whoever they were, they were using the dim light from a cell phone to make their way in the dark.
June signaled Rooster who was watching everything unfold. He looked at June in the eyes as she made a hand motion of her cutting at her neck and then a grabbing motion; she ended the signal by pointing at the figure down the hall. Rooster nodded and grabbed a pebble.
He set his rifle down as he crept quietly behind the figure. They had their back turned toward him and that's the way he wanted it. He got closer and closer as he finally tossed the pebble over the figure. As it hit the wall with a tap, the figure turned to the sound. It was right where Rooster wanted them to look. He then quickly moved behind them and wrapped his arm around their neck. He quickly pulled back clamping around their throat. The figure struggled as they tried to make a sound. All that came out was a small gasp followed by a gurgling sound. Rooster tightened down his hold on their artery, in seconds the body fell limp.
He picked up the limp body over his shoulder and easily carried it back to the squad's position. He laid the unconscious body down on the floor as the squad stood over the person, Sierra turned on her flashlight on the body.
"Well isn't that interesting. " She said stifling a chuckle.
The look on General Darby's face was priceless as she looked down and saw the motionless body of June Darby. This world's June Darby, passed out on the floor.
NEXT TIME: A meeting that was destined to happen over the course of a year finally comes to fruition, and the world of the Transformers will never be the same! General Darby concocts a plan to rescue Jack and Miko and hold off a Decepticon kill squad. And both Miko's will get a shock as they come face to face with her mirror counterpart. Plus the appearance of June's squad will bring a long painful memory from Agent Fowler's past to light.
