'Finally, some piece and quiet.' I thought to myself as Wheeljack and Eva leave the base. 'I thought those two would never leave.'
"You sound like my parents!" Miko says from somewhere behind me. I groan and turn around to find Miko glaring at Bulkhead.
'So much for piece and quiet.'
"Aren't they Japanese...?" Bulkhead says, confused. I giggle.
"They may speak a different language but you say the same things." Miko explains as she makes her way to the platform.
"Because we want the best for you and that means making sure you go to school, not jail." Bulkhead says.
I blink. I stare down at her from Ratchet's shoulder. "What did Miko do?" I ask. Ratchet snorts.
Bulkhead kneels down, "Look Miko, before I became a warrior, I was a labourer, construction. I can build stuff, I can break stuff. And that's it!"
"I love breaking stuff! I want to be just like you Bulk!" My eye twitches at Miko's words. Knowing she didn't get the message Bulkhead was trying to tell her. Ratchet snorts agian.
"Why would you want to me like me when you could be a medic, like Ratchet." Bulkhead says. I hear a beeping noise from behind me. I look around to the monitor.
"I'm detecting a fresh energon pulse. From the nation called, Greece. An ancient city, quite historic I believe." Ratchet says.
"Ancient Greece, huh?" Bulkhead says from behind me. "Oh field trip!"
I turn my body around the best I can, "Can I come?" I ask. "I've always wanted to go to Greece!"
"I don't see why not, it's just a scouting mission. Though, ya might want to Ask Ratchet, he is your guardian." Bulkhead states.
I look up at Ratchet giving him the puppy dog face, Ratchet stares at me for a moment before sighing. "Alright, but be safe!"
"I will!" I chirp as Ratchet offers me his hand. I jump off Ratchet's hand and run over to Bulkhead who transforms down into his alt mode. I jump into the drivers seat and Miko climbs into the passenger seat. Ratchet activates the ground bridge and Bulkhead speeds into it.
"Here we are!" Bulkhead announces once he stops.
I jump out and look around. "Soo cool." I mumble.
"Sweet!" Miko exclaims. Bulkhead transforms as Miko and I run over to the edge to get a better look. "So, what are we doing in Wreck-O-Vile?"
"I'm scouting energon." Bulkhead says. "Your doing research for your history report and Cal... Can just do what ever she wants."
"You punked me bulk!" Miko says. "Not cool." I snicker at her choice of words. I follow Bulkhead as he looks over the area.
"Hmmm... Signal's strong." Bulkhead mumbles. "An excavation sight..." Miko looks up at Bulkhead. "I know construction." Bulkhead takes another look around. "According to my scanner. Humans hit energon veins. And they don't even know it." Bulkhead was quiet for a moment. "Woh... That's Cybertronium!" I look to where Bulkhead is staring and see a god-like man holding up some sphere thing.
"What is that?" I ask.
"An Energon harvester. Why would Ancient Greeks paint one though...?" Bulkhead wonders out loud.
"You know what that round thing is!" Miko exclaims. "Your smarter then you let on." Miko says while taking a picture of the painting.
"But even dumber then he looks." Came a voice from behind us. I turn around and see a bot on top of the stairs.
"Breakdown...!" Bulkhead says, taking a step forward.
Breakdown laughs. "Miss me?"
"Like rust in my undercarriage." I blink up at Bulkhead.
"You know this lunkhead?" Miko asks.
"We have a history..." Bulkhead says.
"And you have a pet!" Breakdown laughs. Then he spots me. "Make that two pets." I glare at him. "Do they play catch?" Breakdown asks as he picks up a pillar and throws it at Miko and I. "Catch!"
I grab Miko and we start running. Bulkhead jumps into the way of the pillar. "Miko, Cal! Stay down!" I drag Miko into a crevice and we huddle together. Bulkhead and Breakdown fly over us.
Miko and I get out of our hiding place when we hear someone transforming. We run over and find Bulkhead has crushed the wall and Breakdown is driving away. Bulkhead looks at us. "Told you I'm good at breaking stuff." I laugh.
"I always have your back Bulk." Miko says as she takes out her phone and shows him the picture she has of the wall. "Got us a picture of the picture." Bulkhead smiles and the ground bridge opens up behind us. Bulkhead grabs us and walks through into the green light.
As soon as Bulkhead walks into the base Ratchet walks over and plucks me out of Bulkhead's hand. I look back at the two to find Bulkhead staring at Ratchet with a confused look while Miko is laughing away. I shiver as something cold runs through me.
"Sorry..." I hear Ratchet say.
I look up at him. "Why are you sorry?" I ask.
"I should have warned you I was going to run a scan." I stare at him for a moment before I finally realized what he was talking about.
"It's okay. I just wasn't expecting it, that's all." Ratchet nods and walks over to where Optimus is reviewing the data
Bulkhead and Miko gave him.
"It is indeed an energon harvester." Optimus says. "A powerful tool created by the Ancients. To remove raw energon from any source." Optimus explains.
"Greek gods knew Autobots?" Raf asks.
"No. The Ancients often use the art of a given era to hide messages. This fresco was likely a sign post containing the harvesters location. Hidden somewhere on this planet."
"Umm... Optimus? If the harvester removes energon from anything... And you all have energon pumping inside you..." Jack asks. I blink, realizing my brothers right.
"In Decepticon hands, the harvester would be a devastating weapon." Optimus finishes.
"Nice job Bulk!" Eva says, smiling at him from Wheeljack's hand.
Miko turns to Bulkhead. "See! Your a genius for totalling that painting."
"Miko's not wrong." Arcee says. "How can the Con's find the harvester without the fresco?"
"With high speed internet." Raf says, answering Arcee's question. Raf pulls out his laptop and starts typing away. "If you do an image search for greek god and golden orb. This pops up." Raf says showing us a picture of a statue. "It's in a museum."
Arcee looks at Optimus. "That the real deal?"
"Contact Agent Fowler." Is all Optimus says. Ratchet walks up to the monitor. He places me on his shoulder and opens a private link with Fowler.
"You've reached Special Agent William Fowler. I'm currently on an intensive training retreat and unavailable until Tuesday." Came the voice mail.
"I hate talking to machines." Ratchet says. I look up at him and blink. Ratchet notices me staring. "What...?" I shake my head and laugh as Ratchet turns around to face the Bot's.
"Without Agent Fowlers direct aid, we will have to confiscate the harvester on our own." Optimus says.
"Woh! Woh! Woh! Woh! Woh! Confiscate! As in steal museum property?" Jack exclaims.
"That sounds illegal..." Raf says.
"I do not wish to break human law. But once the Decepticon's learn of the harvester's location, they will not hesitate to uptane it by any means necessary. We must act covertly." Optimus states.
"Um... Ok... No offence Optimus, but covertly and giant don't really go together. Museums are public, and they have guards and security camera's." Jack says.
"No problem!" Miko exclaims, "We're small enough to sneak in. And we're not a government secrete."
"Miko, I'm not sure that's wise." Bulkhead says.
"But it may be our best option Bulkhead." Optimus says, deep in thought. "The longer we debate. The more time we give to the Decepticons." The bots nod and everybody gets ready to head out.
The Autobot's transform down as Ratchet activates the ground bridge. Ratchet offers his hand to me and places me onto the ground near the lift we are bringing so we can reach the harvester.
"Alright, I'm going to bridge you right into the museum. J-just don't get caught." Ratchet says, more to me then anyone else.
I smile up at him. "I'll try, but you know how trouble just happens to find me." He rolls his eye's and chuckles.
"Jack, Miko, Rafael, Calypso. I will have a clear view of you. Once you secure the harvester, I will contact Ratchet and he will bridge you back to base." Optimus says over the com link.
Ratchet activates the bridge as I climb into the lift. "Now, since you'll bypass all normal points of entry, you won't have to worry about setting off the alarm. But take care to avoid any security guards." We all nod and Jack drives the lift through the ground bridge.
I look around and quickly notice a camera just above us. I poke Jack and point upwards. He nods and then we notice the statue. "Opa!" Miko says. I stare at her like she is crazy. Optimus blinks his light at us signalling its time to start.
Jack lifts us up to the camera's level. Miko takes an upside down picture of the area the camera is watching and places her phone on the camera so it looks like nothing is changing. She gives us a thumbs up and Jack drives us towards the statue.
We slowly start removing the harvester. I look over to see how Optimus is doing to notice another car beside him. Suddenly Optimus transforms and catches a missile that is heading towards us. I gasp as it touches the glass, causing it to break.
Jack, Miko and Raf look over after hearing my gasp. Optimus turns to see if we are alright but the car transforms and as Optimus turns around he stabs him with a pole thing. Knocking Optimus out. The Con stabs Optimus with his pole after Optimus is knocked out.
"Cons!" I gasp.
"Oh no! They got Optimus!" Raf exclaims.
Suddenly we notice another Con driving towards us. I quickly realize it is Breakdown. I notice Bee and Arcee making a beeline towards Breakdown from opposite sides, but the he shoots missiles at the two, causing Bee to transform and Arcee to swerve, causing them to crash into each other. I hear pounding on the roof and Bulkhead lands in front of the Car Con and starts running towards Breakdown.
Breakdown transforms and punches Bulkhead, successfully knocking Bulkhead into the other Con. They crash into the museum and the alarm triggers. Raf and I are able to finally push the harvester into the lift with the help of the crash.
Me and Miko jump out of the lift as Jack starts driving it out of the museum, towards the meeting place. We run through the hallways, trying to find a way out. I round a corner and notice a shipping entry. I point it out to Miko and she nods. She hits the open button and we run under it, hoping it would lead us outside. But on the other side, a guard is waiting.
He looks at me and Miko. "Ahhh... Was' up?" Miko hesitantly asks. I just smile.
"Better come with me, you two." He proceeds to grab mine and Miko's arm and drags us into his office. He sits behind his desk and motions for us to sit across from him.
The guard starts strumming his fingers on the desk as we sit in silence. "Look girls, if this is some kind of prank you need to know the authorities are on their way. It will go a whole lot easier if you two just told me what happened to the sphere."
"I was researching my history report and just lost track of time and got locked in here after closing." Miko says, coming up with some story last minute.
"Yea, I came with her because I'm pretty familiar here. I love learning about our history and stuff. But I happened to fall asleep, I haven't been getting enough sleep lately and I was woken up by her shaking me telling me the store had closed." I say, giving my two cents into the story.
The guard turns to Miko. "So what's your history report about? I'd love to know..."
"Ancient Greece." Miko says. Miko then goes on a three hour lecture about Ancient Greece and everything else around it.
"That so, young lady." The guard hums after Miko finishes. "Well, I'm sure the police will want to hear all about your history report." He says sarcastically.
I glare at the guard, 'Bloody sarcastic, over- confident son of a bitch.' I think to myself.
Suddenly the door opens and Agent Fowler steps in. I blink and a slow smile spreads across my face.
Fowler shows his badge to the guard. "Special Agent William Fowler. The stolen property has been located and restored to museum premises." Fowler says. The guard looks at the screen and blinks in shock. "The girls come with me." Fowler says as he walks over and makes us both stand.
Fowler digs through his inside jacket pocket and pulls out Miko's phone. "You dropped your cellphone." Miko grabs the pink phone. "Found in on the floor, right next to your history report." Fowler then proceeds to slam the door behind us.
Once we make it outside we find Bulkhead waiting for us. Miko gasps and rushes over. "Off you go." Fowler says as Miko runs over.
I turn to Fowler. "Thank you."
"It's okay. besides I owe you one from when the Con's kidnapped us." Fowler states. I laugh and shake my head. Fowler looks up. "Looks like your ride is here." I look up and find Ratchet in his alt mode driving towards us. My eyes widen and I run over. Ratchet opens his passenger door as I get near. I quickly climb in and the door closes behind me. The seatbelt buckles itself and Ratchet starts driving away.
"Are you... Okay?" Ratchet asks, breaking the silence.
"Yea, I'm fine. Just tired from staying up all night." I tell him.
Ratchet chuckles. "I would expect." I smile. "Sleep..." Ratchet seems to hesitate. "...Lee" I blink. 'Did he just call me Lee?' I thought to myself. I feel a blush cover my cheeks. I slowly close my eyes and fall into an endless darkness
Finally another chapter done!
Sorry everyone! I just got a new job and haven't had time to update.
I'm also wondering if I should skip the next two episodes cause its mostly centred around Jack.
Tell me what you think about the idea!
I don't own Transformers Prime! But Caly is mine! :D
