Chapter eight part one, an ending?
"What happened next creator?" a little seekerling asked, sitting in her creators lap, looking up with mixed gold and blue optics. The seekerling was a femme with a black and light green colour scheme with some pink highlights, and she was a near identical version of her creator, except her shoulder armour looked more like her sires. Big and bulky. Her creator was a seeker with the same mixed blue and gold optic's, and black paint job but with pink and gold, with a helm similar to Windblade's but with two large oval buns and a set of golden chopsticks pointing out of each bun. "Solarstorm defeated the evil Predacons and returned team primes personal possessions to them, which they once thought they had lost." A large black and gold seeker, she had hints of pink thrown into her armour to highlight it, replied. "Before your sire, my brother uncle Jackie, aunty Arcee, uncle Optimus, uncle Ultra Magnus, great uncle Ratchet, cousin Bumblebee and family friend Smokescreen, left earth to save cybertron later that cycle. They were overjoyed and after having gone through so much heart ache and pain of fighting and knew they could leave earth in peace and that the war was truly over." "Creator… I thought you were uncle Wheeljack's sister. Oh, does this mean I have another aunty, besides Aunty Arcee?" the femmling excitedly asked, with the same spunk and attitude her mother knew came from her.
"No Songbeat, you don't. I am Solarstorm. Surprised? You can even ask your sire when he comes home shortly and then remember your uncle Wheeljack and Aunty Arcee and the twins are coming for a visit for the weekend from Iacon so you can ask them too." The femme sweetly said looking down at her daughter. "I thought Solarstorm was a minicon, not a seeker?" The femmling replied, very confused as she looked up at her creator. Her optic's wide in shock, "Uncle Optimus says that Solarstorm was the name of another prime… is that you?" "Yes, I was a prime for a while, but I gave up my matrix to save the planet earth, it was collapsing in on itself and needed something powerful to stop it. I helped save trillions of interesting lives, many such as the humans, are similar to us." The femme sighed. "I had a human designation of Miko back then all those millions of years ago too, when I was living on the planet." She recalled from memories created long ago.
Just then did the last person of the happy family enter their cosy home on the outskirts of Praxus a few clicks into their metallic planet, Cybertron's country side, were they had settled down, in his home town. Wheeljack's and Arcee's family decided to settle down in Iacon so Arcee was close to her sisters, Solar and Bulkhead would have settled in Iacon too but there was hardly any construction jobs left in Iacon which he was needed on now that he was a building supervisor and at times an architect so they moved to were the work was. Solarstorm, works part time with the local judicators in the newly established police force and courts were she worked as the judge half of the orbital cycle which did offer her quite the large salary and gave her plenty of time to spend with her daughter and do all the things she used to do like blacksmithing and train students at the local dojo which was lacking teachers, it was a great thing that her. The bulky green mech entered their living room after closing the front door behind him, were he made his way into the room and bent down to give his sparkmate a kiss.
"Evening sweet spark." The large green Mech chuckled. "Sire, yay. Can you tell me why creator says she's a minicon when she's a seeker like me!" the femmling asked as she climbed up out of her mother's servo's and up into her dad's. Bulkhead just looked down at his curious daughter before chuckling a little, Songbeat was just like her mother, and she always wanted to hear any old war stories which involved a lot of wrecking. "Ah Songbeat, that's because it's true. Your creator was a minicon for quite a few centuries, it was only after an accident on earth that led to your mom receiving a seeker chassis sweet spark." Bulkhead said as he hugged his little girl. Before they could say anything, there was a knock at the door to which Solarstorm quickly got up and opened it before being tackled into a hug by a certain white, green and red mech.
"Wheeljack put your sister down before you hurt her." Came another familiar voice. Within moments a blue and pink femme came into the frame before being shoved out of the way by two little mechling's a few vorns older than Songbeat. "Cliffgate, Tailjumper, get back here now and say hello to your aunty Solarstorm before you knock us all down." the femme sighed as her two little twin mechs rushed past. Arcee and Wheeljack had named them after Arcee's two former partners, her way of remembering them. Wheeljack didn't disagree with her, he knew both Cliffjumper and Tailgate when they were younger and he knew how special they were to Arcee, although he did say that if they were to have a third sparkling he got to name them after one of his wrecker compatriots.
"Hello aunty Solar, hello uncle Bulkhead. Hi Songbeat." The two mechling's said in sync with each other. "Hello boys, it's good to see you two. Primus how much you two have grown since I saw you two. Why don't you run off and go down to the play room." Solarstorm chuckled, as she went back to hugging her brother. "But creator, you were about to tell me that story." Songbeat whined as Bulkhead set her down beside her cousins. "What story sis? Another one of us all on earth?" Wheeljack asked as he walked into the living room with his sister. Arcee brought in a few bags with Bulkheads help before the said mech closed the door. "The story of how mom was a minicon Uncle Jackie, and then how she's not anymore." Songbeat expressed, waving her servos around in exasperation, really wanting to be told the story. Wheeljack chuckled as he lifted up his little niece at his peds. "Oh that one, the story of how your creator nearly lost her life protecting team prime, team bee and an entire city of humans." Wheeljack told his little niece.
"Wow, aunty Solar saved you all?" Cliffgate asked in awe looking up at his seeker of an aunt. "Aunty Solar was a minicon?" Tailjumper said in slight disgust. He hated minicons for some unknown reason, which said reason usually got him landed in trouble at school when he picked on a few of the minicon student's in his class. "Yes I was, it was because I had been sent to earth on board a ship when I was still a protoform about to spark. I didn't even know I was your sire's sister until team prime found me." She smiled as she bent down to look at her two nephews. "More like you found us, Solar." Arcee chuckled, remembering the human teenage version of Solarstorm who had peeked around the corner to see her and Jack arguing all those million years ago now. "Can you tell us, please carrier, please, please, please?" Songbeat asked, begging with her parent's to hear the story.
"Maybe later at recharge time, go you three off and play whilst I get dinner ready. You lot have had a long journey traveling from Iacon just to get here to Praxus, so relax for a while, go play on some of the gaming consoles down in the play room." Solarstorm smiled as she looked down at her sparkling daughter and her nephews. "Okay aunty." The twins said in sync again, creeping there uncle Bulkhead out. "Fine creator, but I want that story later!" Songbeat mumbled before stomping away, dragging her older cousins down the hallway with her.
"She is definitely your daughter." Wheeljack chuckled as he hugged his sister before pulling Bulkhead into a noogie, just like old times. "Thanks for having us for the weekend solar, Bulk, we really needed to get out of Iacon for a peaceful weekend for a change." Arcee smiled as she sat down on the sofa. "Oh its fine Arcee, I'm always happy to receive visits from family, Bulkhead did build a house large enough to have visitors and guests. He did a wonderful job too." The seeker smiled as her bonded sat beside her. "Well, I'm not the head construction inspector in Praxus for nothing now am I? I built your courthouse and courtroom sweet spark." Bulkhead teased, before kissing her. "I told you bulk, sis was the perfect femme for you." Wheeljack laughed at his brother in law. The adults talked for quite a while before Solarstorm/Miko got up and entered the kitchen. Sticking on the dinner for them all, and putting the finishing touches onto the oilcake she had baked earlier in the day and a few energon cookies for the sparklings for their warm energon in the evening before they go to recharge. Solar usually cracked open a thing of high grade for the adults for their dinner, it was much better than just having energon cubes like they did on earth. Yes they still needed to drink the odd cube every now and then, it was just better being on cybertron as that energon came in multiple different forms which provided a range of products to make an earth styled meal with… well, for a cybertronian anyways. They all spent a good few hours chatting until it got late into the night, that's when the parent's decided it was time for their sparklings to go to their designated rooms for recharge. Were the twins and Songbeat were waiting on their story.
The twins were sitting on Songbeat's bed waiting on their parents to come up and tuck them into their berths. The twins weren't recharging in Songbeat's berth room but in the guest room around the corridor but they wanted to hear their aunties stories, they preferred there aunt Solar's stories compared to their auntie's Elita, and Chromia's war stories, as well as their uncles Optimus and Ultra Magnus's war stories. Their family was one huge complicated network but they are a caring family nonetheless. Ultra Magnus became the weirdest father, uncle combination when Bee, Sideswipe, Grimlock, Fixit, drift and Ultra Magnus' daughter Strongarm became combiners, creating sibling spark bonds, and because Optimus and Elita were Bumblebee's adoptive parents when he was growing up it made Ultra Magnus his second adoptive father. This led to Magnus becoming the adoptive father to five more bot's on top of his eldest son chase, who was assigned to protecting and rescuing humans on griffin rock and his daughter Strongarm. It was a large family, but it was perfect, just what they all wanted in a family. People you can trust and rely on and know that they'll always be there to look out and protect you too, a family that loves you for being yourself and who you are… just like team prime.
"Creator now will you tell us that story." Songbeat asked as Solar entered her daughter's room with a plate of energon cookies and three cubes of warm energon, a trick she was told from June back on earth to get kids to sleep quicker and with less fuss, but with energon. Followed behind her was Bulkhead, wheeljack and Arcee, who just chuckled as they entered the room.
"Alright kiddo's, we'll tell you the story of what happened. Sit down and get ready cause it's a roller coaster." Wheeljack chuckled as he and the others sat down on Songbeat's bed and chairs in her room.
"So, Solar, wanna start us off here considering it is your story?" Wheeljack chuckled as he watched his two sons scramble onto their mothers knee's, still munching away on their cookies.
"I believe I'll start for the kiddos. Hopefully Tailjumper will have changed his views on minicons after hearing this." Solar smiled, whilst Tailjumper scoffed. Rolling his eyes and showing a face of disgust, only to receive a slap across the back of his helm from Arcee who caught him in the act.
"Hopefully that's true sis, the way a certain mechs going he'll be expelled from school for his attitude." Wheeljack sighed.
"Yay, creator start please!" Songbeat shouted in joy, as she jumped into her mother's lap.
"Alright then sweetie, now where to begin." Solarstorm smiled, remembering back to that fateful day back on earth.
*Flashback*
"Hey Miko, got todays load of iron ore, coal and a mix of titanium, aluminium and vanadium ore for you this week." A mature male voice pronounced as he arrived via a ground bridge, a little four year old girl holding his hand as they got out of a truck with a large trailer on the back. The pair then entered the large clean cut cave were there was a lava waterfall in one corner which had been isolated by a brick wall built around it. The hammering inside the cave subsided as a black and pink minicon femme came out from around the corner, dipping the blade she was working on into a vat of hot oil to harden it.
"Hey Jack rabbit, how's things over in the main base in America?" the femme asked as she quickly straightened the blade before clamping it into a vice on her anvil. "And hello to you too Savannah, my goodness you've gotten bigger since the last time I saw you, you humans grow so quickly. So where is Rafael he's usually here with Sari when you visit, are they alright?" She laughed as she picked up the four year old.
"Oh there fine, Raf's wife Sari finally had the triplets earlier in the week so they did. And Savannah had just reached her fourth birthday there a fortnight ago as well. Sierra has just passed her pilots exam and is joining me in the air now with her plane when we go on missions. Thanks for your help building our transforming mecha's, Sierra wanted to thanks you for her's, she loves flying the Dassault Rafale, and she loves the pink and purple colour scheme you gave it." Jack smiled as he pulled his friend into a hug. Miko had helped to build some mecha's for Unit E a few years previously to help take out the remaining pockets of M.E.C.H. using a design similar to both the M.E.C.H mecha's but with a head like the apex armour with a specialised glass Miko had acquired which could withstand some of the strongest laser blasts.
"I'm pleased she liked it Jackson, and I've gotten Savannah a few gifts, I would have been over but I got a hit on a remaining MECH base in Indonesia so you know me, I just had to take them out." The femme smiled as she reached over to a sliver and pink wrapped box. She handed the box over to the little girl that was Jacks daughter, the little girl squealed in delight as she ripped the paper off from the gifts.
"Thanks aunty Miko!" the little girl squeaked. Within moments she had opened up the box and found that her figurative aunt had gotten her a set of dolls, a few handmade bracelets a princess circlet and a defensive pair of gauntlets which Jack sighed. "Really Miko, a pair of bladed gauntlets. You really had to steal Arcee's readouts for her blades." He quickly noticed as his daughter slipped on the oversized gauntlets and activated the blade, to Jacks relief it wasn't a real blade but was a dummy blade, a training blade. Although Miko did hand him over a set of interchangeable blades for if he wanted to swap them out in the future. "Hey, why not start them young, it's what my parents did to me. I was a black belt in karate before I was six years old, and if she's anything like sierra she'll be a great gymnast and an even better fighter." Miko chuckled, "I'm just helping to get her started into the family business." The minicon femme smiled, her niece then jumped up into her auntie's servos and hugged her. "Thanks aunty miko, I really wanted blades like Aunty Arcee's there so cool, thank you." The four year old smiled as she hugged her robotical, alien aunty. Jack just stood there in shock, before speaking up. "Did Savannah tell you what to get her?" he asked stolidly, eyeing up his sneaky daughter in his best friend's arms, er… her servos. "Jackson, stop going into Prime mode, you're in my workshop, and on my base here in new Zealand you follow my rules and I've told you, no prime mode." the femme sighed. Every parent had a "you're not of the hook" face but Jack's went overboard as the key of Vector Sigma gave him a little bit more of an edge and authoritative look, Miko called this his prime mode.
"Oh, sorry Miko. I forgot you hate me going this mode. How's things been without the matrix of life in your chest." Jack asked, it had been just over a year now since Miko had given up her matrix to provide the energy that was needed to keep the earth's core from collapsing on itself. After Unicron had abandoned his body and jumped into Megatrons, creating Galvatron, scans taken fourteen years after that day did they show Unicrons body had begun to terminate itself, slowly killing the planet from the inside as convection currents slowed, the mantle and core cooled down by a few hundred degree's and the earth's crust temperature started to cool. After some deliberation with the U.N she had bridged herself down into the planets core to sacrifice her matrix to save the planet as it was the closest thing which could provide the same power as Unicrons spark to reignite the planets core.
"It's been… different. I still feel a slight emptiness in my spark from where I used to have it. It's getting better but when I look in the mirror I still can't believe my optics." Miko sighed setting her niece down. "You suit the mixed blue and gold." Jack smiled as he patted her shoulder. "I hadn't seen the blue in my optics in over four hundred and sixty five years Jack. It takes a while to get used to them again. It was one of the effects of the matrix, I could conduct electricity and my hammer could still forge items like the real forge of solus prime. Well… I can't conduct the same amount of charges but I can still produce a lightning bolts worth or two, just not a lightning storms worth at once." The femme smiled, golden electricity charging and jumping through the chopstick protrusions in her helm. Jack just laughed as his little girl looked on in awe. "Wow." Was all Savannah said, in awe at her auntie's trick. Before any of them could say anything else an alarm system began to buzz, within seconds of the alarm going off a large control panel opened up and came up and out of the floor. Miko rushed over to it with Jack following right behind her.
"What's it say?" jack asked as he studied the screen, within moments he saw the problem. "Scrap, Miko bridge us back to the states, we need to go there now if there are cons back on the soil. I'll grab Sierra and we'll go and show them why they do not mess with the locals" He instructed. "Wait, there's someone else here…. SOMEONE'S HACKED MY CONSOLE!" She shouted in shock as her buns lit up blue as she tried to find the culprit. "That's…. that's not possible. He's back…. Soundwave's back. SCRAP HE KNOWS WERE HERE." Miko shouted quickly terminating all info on the monitor and opening a bridge as they looked into the distance, only a skilled eye would have spotted the blue Vitol military drone flying their way.
"SAVANNAH HERE NOW!" Jack shouted as he grabbed his daughter and her things and ran through the bridge. Miko activated her temporal distortion mod, slowing down time, where she grabbed and quickly removed all weapons from their racks and threw them into the ground bridge before hopping into Jack's car and driving it through the bridge. With them back at the main Unit e outpost in America she flew back through the bridge and deactivated her temporal distortion mod and activated the self-destruct feature she had built into her base. She set the timer to five seconds before running through the ground bridge. What they didn't see was Soundwave off in the distance opening a ground bridge and flying into it.
Unit E outpost omega one, Utah.
Soldiers on base were startled when a ground bridge opened up so suddenly on the tarmac outside the main hangar. Sierra Darby was standing around with her cup of coffee, after just watching her husband and their little girl ground bridge down to New Zealand to see Miko. Sierra was initially surprised when Jack pulled up to her house on a black motor bike which was the alien Technorganic Miko, over fourteen years ago a few months after they had been evacuated from Jasper. She didn't think that she'd ever see any of her old friends from school again but was surprised and swept of her feet when Jack appeared at her door with a bouquet of flowers and his new black bike. After a few months of dating and finishing college she needed a way to pay off her debts, that's when Jack offered her a job she just couldn't deny, working with him and Miko with Unit E were her sports skills would prove her handy and her other qualifications. That's when she found out and joined the crew, even being introduced to the Autobots when they came back on the fifth anniversary of Jaspers destruction.
The red headed warrior saw the bridge and quickly threw her cup of coffee down on the table, hopping into her large feminine styled transforming mecha. Her mecha was about twenty feet tall with two large wings on the back, it was a flyer model. Jacks was sitting in the docking station next to hers, his was a military hummer with a turret on the shoulder. She had made her way over to the unidentified ground bridge with her weapons primed, a scattershot shotgun in one servo and a Sri Lankan styled urumi blade, which Miko had expertly hand forged and taught the pilot how to use, which was made easier when her rhythmic gymnastics' and cheerleading practice came into hand. Within moments she had de activated her weapons when she saw Jack run out of the bridge with their little red headed daughter Savannah. Jack quickly took Savannah into the hangar and placed her into his office which had toys and was securely locked, he knew she'd be safe there as he ordered one of his more trusted soldiers to look after her as he ran up a set of stairs and jumped into his mecha. Within moments he had run over and joined his wife.
"Jack what's wrong? Where is Miko?" Sierra asked, within moments her question was answered as she heard a large thumping sound of clattering blades in the hangar behind them, they spun around to see that there was about five tonnes worth of bladed and blunt weapons. Some on weapon rack which had appeared out of nowhere and others lying on the floor. After a few more seconds they saw Miko exit the ground bridge in the truck, Jack had taken to delivered Miko's ore followed with the trailer still attached. "I'm fine Sierra, my workshop and base in new Zealand… not so much. We had a hit on some decepticons, or one in particular that me and jack have a history with." Miko answered as she used her gravity gauntlets to move the trucks and components out of the way to a safe vantage point where they wouldn't be obstructing military protocols and routines. "Uh, Hardshell? But didn't you kill him?" Sierra asked, she had a hard time telling the difference between decepticons. All she knew was to shoot at any oddly coloured bot that was identical to the next and had the Decepticon insignia. "What, no I terminated Hardshell one and a half decivorns ago. It was Soundwave, we were the last people to see him before I punched him into the shadow zone alongside Jackson. Sierra throw me your mobile, I need something that is virtually undetectable, Soundwave will try to find us using computers which leave a trail, I should be able to locate where he is and if there's any other decepticons." Miko instructed as she waltzed around the concrete in front of the two. Within moments Sierra had popped open her glass capsule front to her mecha and had thrown down her phone to her Technorganic friend. Within moments Miko's buns lit up blue and she had found a startling discovery, one which undermined her and Raf's hacking skills. Soundwave had hacked them through the shadow zone, getting all the information he needed to reopen a ground bridge.
"He used us and left a trail that neither me nor raf noticed for years. How could we have missed this?" Miko silently asked her optic's wide in shock as she looked at their mistake. "He's hidden a crashed Decepticon ship near crown city on the Florida coast. I'm bringing up footage of … oh my gosh, they're here and they never told us. I'm going to slice off Jackie's audios for lying to me!" Miko said as she transferred images of her brother and the rest of team prime along with some new bot's straight to her hologram chip. The image showed multiple pictures of the bots and their alt mode leaving and entering a scrap yard, and another with a large frigate which Miko identified as a standard ten bot crew ship landing inside the scrap yard. Within seconds she brought up a live stream feed of the bots fighting near the beach. It was team prime with everyone, Optimus, Ultra Magnus, Bulkhead, Wheeljack, Arcee, Smokescreen and Ratchet. There were a few other bots, some of which she recognised from her time in the other dimensions, but they had combined into one large towering bot swiping a large sword at another darker, rust coloured bot with the Decepticon emblem and a large group of vehicons. "And there fighting a combiner. Strap up and get ready for a fight kiddo's" Miko ordered as she pulled out her scythe from her back and loaded it up with a new mag. "Miko ground bridge us to that scrap yard, they need to know that Soundwave's back and we need an explanation as to why we weren't involved and informed with apprehending the cons." Jack instructed as he transformed his mecha back into the military hummer form it had. Sierra had done the same thing as she had jumped up into the air, transforming into her mecha's jet form, following military protocol and beginning to fly around base as Miko activated her thrusters and followed her. Jack had begun to drive out onto the runway which was two hundred meters away from the hangar as his wife and best friend did a loop of the base and got into line with the runway. Miko opened up a large ground bridge at the end of the runway as Jack neared the entrance point. Within seconds the three had disappeared into the ground bridge transforming into their bipedal modes as they used their velocity to power them through the ground bridge and out the other side as they went through. The vortex closed behind them as the base returned to normality as the usual military drills were run on base.
*End flashback*
"Creator, I thought you were going to tell us how you changed." Songbeat sighed, she had a look of disappointment on her faceplate. "I'm getting there, it's better to tell a story from the beginning. You learn from problems if you get the whole picture. It's not like a video which you can speed up and skip through just to get to the end." Solarstorm explained to her daughter. "I don't have time to deal with problems, I want result!" the femmling shouted. Resulting in her nephews, husband and brother in laughing at her whilst Arcee rolled her optics. "She's a wrecker alright." Wheeljack laughed at her niece's outburst. "Well where were you sweetie?" Bulkhead asked as he subdued his laughter. "Yeah where were you aunty Solar?" Cliff asked, jumping about in his mother's lap. Tailjumper was very silent listening to the story, probably beginning to change his views on Minicons knowing that his aunty was a minicon. "Alright kiddo's." Solar chuckled as she continued.
*Flashback*
Optimus had just been hit across the beach by a lucky punch landed in by the Decepticon combiner Menasor. The Autobot combiner consisting of Bee, Drift, Sideswipe, Strongarm and Grimlock had just been knocked apart into their separate forms, the said combined form still had the stupid designation of Ultra Bee. The rest of the bots which was the main members of team prime however were busy dealing with the many freed con's that were still hanging around the state and which hadn't fled into other states. "Back to the pits you go prime." Menasor said, towering above the injured mech lying in the water, as the combiner made its way closer to him. Within seconds there was a loud metallic thud which sounded like a kick, followed by the sounds of a ground bridge closing. Optimus pushed himself up to a position where he could see what was going on where he saw two femme's, a large pink and purple seeker and a familiar black, pink and golden minicon. Within moments he saw a servo coming down in front of him to help him up.
"Sorry we took so long Optimus. Soundwave managed to dupe us and Miko was too busy in her forge to notice your arrival sooner." The owner of the said servo said as he helped lift the mech up. Optimus looked on at the silver and blue mech in front of him only to notice it was a style of armour like the mecha's they fought when Miko first found out she was Technorganic but it was also a lot like the apex armour as he saw the owner of the friendly arm. "Jackson? Is that really you?" Optimus asked as he was pulled up by the smaller mecha. "Yes Optimus it is me. Miko, my wife Sierra and myself saw you in a spot of bother. I hope you don't mind if we help out, after all its one of our top priorities at Unit E to capture any rogue decepticons who turn up on our doorstep and send them back to cybertron in cuffs." Jack proudly spoke as he lifted the prime out of the water. "It is also nice to see you again." He added as he picked up the sword lying next to him and handing it over to the large red and blue mech. "Autobots regroup, we must take on this threat together, Miko join the wreckers, Jackson and Sierra join Arcee, Smokescreen and myself. We need to take on this threat together." Optimus instructed as he and Jack ran into the fight. Within seconds Sierra had jumped up to stun the combiner by performing a roundhouse kick, before Miko brought her hammer down on the ground producing a shockwave before shooting a grenade into the combiners stomach armour launching the combiner back through the forest, enough to provide a quick regroup but close enough to make sure that they didn't disassemble and retreat. They wouldn't have retreated anyways as twenty meters above them a ground bridge opened up and Miko's new nemesis came flying out. The femme let her anger known as she literally shook in anger before bursting out into golden electricity.
"SOUNDWAVE!" She shouted which literally brought the entire battlefield to a standstill as they watched Miko use her hammer like Thor's out of Norse mythology to channel her electricity into a powerful lightning bolt. The blue Vitol drone just managed to dodge the first bolt before getting hit with the second one moments before he got hit on his wing as he transformed down into his new, boxier frame standing beside the combiner Menasor as he got up. Miko quickly subspaced her hammer/ grenade launcher weapon and pulled out her scythe as she flipped it around in her servo's, she quickly preformed her signature move as she jumped up into the air and fired of a bullet in mid-air straight towards Soundwave. The bullet landed in his shoulder plating and using the recoil she launched all the way back to where Bulkhead, Wheeljack and Ultra Magnus were standing.
"Hey sis, why you so pissed today, I thought you would have been happy to see us." Wheeljack awkwardly said to his literally fuming little sister. "HOW WOULD I BE PLEASED TO SEE YOU WHEN I HAD TO BLOW UP MY WORKSHOP IN NEW ZEALAND TO MAKE SURE HE DIDN'T GET ANY OF MY WEAPONS?" Miko shouted at him, causing her older brother to flinch. Miko saw this and quickly calmed down, feeling bad for scaring her brother, and best friend Bulkhead who had visually flinched backwards. "Sorry guys, I've had a rough day. I've just lost my so many unfinished weapons, hell I was building an urumi blade for myself, I broke the last one a few days ago." The femme sighed as she dug the spear tipped handle into the ground. "Yeah, I'm sorry too. I should've told you we were back instead of lying to you sis." Wheeljack sighed, he hadn't seen his sister in five years since Jack's wedding. "What happened your optic's." he then asked, noting the change in his sisters optics from full on gold to a mixture of a thin gold ring and a cerulean blue, like his blue. "Talk about optics later, we have cons to round up." Ultra Magnus shouted at the two siblings. They looked at each other before both cracking the same ego-shooter smirk, pulling out their signature weapons, Wheeljack's katanas and Miko's scythe. "So, ready to wreck and rule guys?" Bulkhead smirked as he spoke up, smashing his wrecking balls together. "Never been a better time, i need someone to take my anger out after losing my million dollar base and workshop, and I think I'll start with the newer improved jukebox. He and I have unfinished business." Miko growled as she released the casing of a used bullet from her staff, flipping the blade behind her. She just smirked as Ultra Magnus gave them the order to attack, firing off her scythe and propelling herself at near un-seeable speeds into the group of attack decepticons which had later been listed as Steeljaw, Thunderhoof, Divebomb and Clampdown and it was easy to see the damage done in the end as they all received multiple slashes, some were deep enough to force them to stop fighting and retreat, but not enough to kill.
*End flashback*
After describing the huge fight to the three exited sparklings listening in awe Solar trailed off. She got to the part of the story which she didn't like to talk about, firstly because of its nature and secondly because she didn't remember half of it. The older adults saw this too but understood why she had trailed off, the memories of the incident were still fresh in their processors, even if it happened millions of years ago. Bulkhead quickly squeezed his sparkmates servo as she troubled through the next phase of the story.
"Wow… so aunty Solarstorm… were you Miko? Tailjumper asked, surprising his parents and catching his aunt off guard. "Yes Tailjumper I was. I had been stranded on earth since I had been sent away in a ship to avoid the war when I was not even out of my protoform stage. Alpha Trion was on board the ship and left me off on earth where I had been taken in by some humans. That's where they gave me the name Miko as they raised me, they had done something which led to me gaining a human form which led to my frame being locked to a human size. They were just taller than the average minicon." The seeker smiled slightly looking at her troublesome nephew. "You sounded like you kicked aft aunty." Cliffgate added as he jumped in Arcee's servos. "Cliff, language. We've warn you before." Wheeljack scolded his son. "What happened next creator?" Song asked as she looked up at her mom with her wide mixed optic's with a face everyone in the room recognised, Miko's signature "War story eminent, prepare for awesomeness" face.
The adults had a quick conversation over there bond, in private away from the spark bonds they shared with their children. 'She's going to be a handful in the future." Wheeljack chuckled, 'Tell me about it, she can't go to recharge without having had two stories now. She has all my energy but has Bulkheads kindness and strength and knows how to get around any form of punishment.' Solar groaned over the bond, 'She's defiantly going to be like the teenage you Solar, I hope you're ready to deal with a miniature version of yourself.' Arcee added, backing up her sparkmates quote. 'That's not saying much Arcee, I barely had a teenager period, and I just grew to a full-fledged bot in under two decivorns." Solar reminded her sister in law. 'Well… not if we find ways to keep her busy, I think Solar could find the time to teach song how to fight when she's older. Besides you have two miniature versions of Jackie, that's going to be a worse time.' Bulkhead chuckled over the family bond. 'Ah shut up Bulk, we're all parents here and will have to go through the same scrap when they reach their teen years.' Wheeljack light-heartedly groaned back, 'do you want us to continue this part of the story sis?' he then continued to ask. 'You know that I don't recall what happened next, who did you think I was going to call on to tell them the rest of the story.' Solar groaned at her brother before ending their chat through their bond.
"Song beat, the answer of your question would be best given to you by your sire, Uncle Jackie and Aunty Arcee. It's just that what happened next, I can't remember because of the trauma caused. If you want a detailed explanation we'll take you to see great uncle ratchet when we go to Iacon once the holidays arrive and you finish school for the vorn." Solar explained, looking into her daughter's optics. Bulkhead then began to tell the remainder of the story to the three eager, yet now slightly tired sparklings in the room.
"Well sweetie, your mom had an accident in that battle." Bulkhead began.
Cliff hanger people. Sorry but it had to happen, i thought that this chapter was getting a little long and due to the length of the chapter decided to split it up. I've still been having problems with the paragraphing fokes so i'm very sorry for the blocks of text but there's nothing i can do about it as i've tried to solve the problem. thanks for reading and i hope you enjoy.
