"Who's she?" Bulkhead rumbled as he looked down at the human.
"An intruder." Ratchet grumbled. "She's been living in the base ever since we moved here! She knows all about us, every little escapade, she knows all about the children as well."
"How'd you get in here? The base is virtually impossible to gain access to." Raph asked stepping toward the blond.
"Yes, I would like to know that too, young one." Ratchet agreed crossing his large metal arms over his chest.
"Well, my guardians left me here. They were the ones who got me in, I wouldn't have known how to get here otherwise. Um, where's Miko?" The blond asked curiously as she saw only two humans around her.
"Ah yes, our other human friend. Bulkhead, where is she?" Optimus asked calmly, watching the new human's movement with a scrutinizing expression.
"That was what I came to tell you!" Bulk rushed in shock. "She's been kidnapped, Optimus."
"What?" Arcee asked surprised.
"What do you mean, 'kidnapped'?" Jack asked shocked.
"How is it possible? You were supposed to protect her Bulkhead!" Ratchet added in. Bumblebee let off a series of beeps and clicks, and the blond turned to him with a nod.
"Yep, weird things seem to happen around here don't they? And really, who'd want to kidnap Miko? She'd talk her captors to death!" The girl laughed.
"You understand Bee?" Raph asked in astonishment.
"Of course, it's just as plain as day." The blond replied with patronizing smile.
"Who are you?" Jack demanded and the girl shrugged as she seemed to draw in upon herself.
"Nobody important." She murmured.
"It is fine, young one. My friend simply wishes to know your name." Optimus cut in gently, and the blond girl turned to Optimus with a shy smile.
"I'm Mitzi. I haven't seen a Prime in a long time, and I bet Primus is proud of you." Mitzi smiled as she looked at the bot before her.
"Optimus, what are we going to do about Miko? We have to get her back!" Bulkhead broke in desperately.
"We will find and retrieve her. Ratchet, begin a search on the computer. She can't have gotten far, and I have a feeling the Decepticons are behind this." Optimus decided, and the elder bot hurried to check for any signal of Miko Nakadai.
"Miko's missing?" Mitzi asked quietly, twisting her necklace between her fingers. It was two blue hearts, joined by their sides, on a simple silver chain. "This isn't good."
"Miko's probably just gone off on one of her escapades if you ask me." Ratchet replied with a resigned sigh. "It seems I'm always trying to locate that girl, but she never stays in one place long enough." He grumbled as his fingers flew over the keys quickly.
"I heard her scream, Ratchet. This isn't one of her disappearing acts." Bulk said shaking his head.
"Please tell me it isn't coming true." Mitzi whispered slowly, closing her eyes as she held her necklace in her hand.
"What kid? What isn't coming true?" Arcee snapped, facing the intruder with narrowed eyes. Arcee wasn't happy to have been made a fool of by the simple blond human. This girl managing to survive on the base for as long as she had was a miracle, and Arcee was fuming over the fact the little human had been able to avoid detection for such a long time. It was almost impossible! And yet, one little Mitzi whatever-her-last-name-was had been living right under their noses.
"It-It can't be. It's not important." Mitzi replied quickly, but her doubting eyes gave away her concern.
"What do you know, Mitzi?" Optimus asked gently, his calming warm voice easing the groups tension easily. "It is alright, but you must tell us."
"'A young one missing, a group in panic. Far from home, and yet battles rage. Strong and wise, one side lead by Prime. One side black, lead by child of Unicron. Black rejected, Wise in control, their universal acknowledgers keeping and sending off. And yet the median is left off, and in a huff the Middle Queen will rise. Strife and longing, the prophecy begins. The Forgotten One, she plays and gains. The Middle Queen left to us this Forgotten Prophecy, she will return, and to begin her return a child thus stolen shall give tale of her arrival.'" Mitzi wispered in recitation, quoting exactly a script long forgotten.
"That sounds like a prophecy from a Cybertronian Prophet." Ratchet murmured in shock.
"It is, sir. The Forgotten Prophecy of Middaia. It is beinning."
