Miko hopped out of Bulkhead and walked up the stairs to the main deck with the note in her hand. She noticed the lack of most of the cyberninjas. She turned her head to Lapis (Nightshade) who was racing Raf on a video game.

"Where'd everybody go?" Miko asked. Lapis paused the game and turned around to face her.

"Some went home to prepare while others are helping bots on recon or roaming around the base. I have no idea where Jack is." He explained. Miko groaned and sat on the couch next to him. Lapis saw the note and grabbed it out of her hand. "What's this?"

"Hey, give that back!" Miko almost shouted as she tackled the boy. They wrestled for a minute before Miko ended up on top of his back with him lying on the floor. She plucked the note out of his hand.

"I give! I give!" he whined. Miko crossed her legs and continued to sit on his back.

"Nope!" she stuck her tongue out at him. He flipped over, causing Miko to fall off. "Ow! That's not fair!" she whined as the two stood up.

"Hey, you wouldn't get off." He countered with a shrug. Raf watched amused as the two argued for a few minutes.

"Hey, aren't we going to finish the game?" he asked. Lapis laughed and went back to their game. Miko sat next to Raf and cheered them on.

**On the Nemesis**

Megatron laughed as he read the message from the autobots. He was amused that they wanted to have the final battle, only one side would remain.

"So the autobots are finally tired of fighting. This will be a major victory for the decepticons!" Megatron said as Soundwave stood by. Megatron pressed a button so a live video feed would play throughout the ship. "Decepticons, prepare for battle. This time, it will be the last time any of the autobots see the light of day." He announced.

Moonstrike sped through the halls towards the chamber that Megatron was in. She knew about the prophecy and what would happen if the battle pursued. She knocked on the door quickly before entering.

"What is it Moonstrike?" Megatron growled. Moonstrike bowed respectfully then looked up at him.

"Lord Megatron, I've been your loyal servant and double-agent since Cybertron. I think it's only fair to warn you of the danger you're putting yourself in." she said with an even tone.

"Oh? What danger could possibly be that terrible?" he mused.

"Megatron, there is an ancient cyberninja prophecy that was only known by a select few. While I still had the trust of my people Winterstreak Prime told it to me. The poor fool didn't realize my deceit. The prophecy speaks of one called the Master of Memories and their involvement with a Prime. If I remember correctly it says 'A Prime and his Master of Memories, a death and a swipe; will together forever end the darkness of wars and night. One shall stand, one shall fall. One war sentence ends them all.' Lord Megatron the war this prophecy speaks of is between us and the autobots. I promise you this; the day you step foot on that battleground, is the day you are offlined by Winterstreak and whoever the Master of Memories is. I am not disobeying or disrespecting you in anyway, but if you continue with this, you'll kill us all. You'd be the cause of all these cons on this ship to perish." Moonstrike explained. Megatron laughed causing Moonstrike to get frustrated and narrow her eyes. "And what exactly is so funny about that?"

"I don't think you've looked at the odds, but there are hundreds of us and only a few of them." Megatron answered.

"Megatron you don't understand! They have the remaining cyberninjas on their side too!" she exclaimed. Megatron ignored her and turned away. Anger boiled up in her and she jumped onto the computer counsel in front of the mech. "CRIMSONBREAK'S THE MASTER OF MEMORIES!" she yelled in his face. Megatron snarled and grabbed the femme.

"What gives you the right to use that tone with me?" he growled. He turned to Soundwave and threw Moonstrike at him. "Soundwave, make sure she's ready by tomorrow morning. I will have none of this talk of a prophecy." Soundwave nodded and began to leave with the girl in one hand.

"You don't understand! You're going to kill us all!" she yelled as they left.

"We'll see about that." Megatron hissed quietly, planning the battle for the next day.

**Autobot base**

Miko locked herself in the bathroom and opened the letter.

Crimsonbreak,

Tomorrow at 3 meet me on the helicopter pad outside the base. I have a surprise for you.

Winterstreak

How he had even gotten into her room was a mystery to her. Miko checked her watch to see that it was 3:01. Her eyes widened and she ran outside, ignoring the questioning looks given to her by her friends. Outside she couldn't find Jack anywhere. Miko climbed the tree near Cliffjumper's memorial and sat on a branch. She leaned against the trunk and waited for Jack to arrive. She ended up falling asleep on her perch.

Jack walked outside, realizing he was late for his own plan. When he came up he found Miko asleep in a tree. He chuckled as he climbed the tree and sat in front of her on the same branch. He shook Miko's shoulder gently causing the girl to wake up with a squeak. She nearly fell out of the tree before Jack caught her. When she was back on the branch she crossed her arms.

"So what'd you have to tell me?" she asked curiously. Jack sat there momentarily confused before realizing the note was in her hand. He was about to explain when he noticed the sad and scared look in her eye.

"First tell me what's bugging you." He said gently. Miko gave a worried look; then regained composure.

"It's nothing," she muttered. Jack's eyes hardened as he stared at the stubborn girl.

"Miko, I can tell there's something wrong. Just tell me, no one will find out I swear." Miko bit her lip, as if deciding whether or not to trust him.

"I…found out some more information about the prophecy." She admitted. "I know who the one to die is."

"Who?" Jack asked without hesitation. Miko shook her head.

"The Thirteen won't allow me to tell you. I'm surprised I was able to tell you that." Jack was surprised that she had met the Thirteen in her sleep. They sat in silence for a moment.

"Miko, were they talking about someone on our side?" Jack asked carefully. Miko nodded sadly and looked away. "Who?" that question was a big mistake, and he realized this when she jumped from the tree.

"I told you I can't tell you." She responded then left for the base. Jack followed her hurriedly. The autobots and cyberninjas present noticed her slight frustration.

"What's got your circuits in a twist?" Ratchet mumbled.

"Miko knows who's to die in the prophecy." Jack said as he entered, his arms were crossed. Everyone turned their attention to him. "Problem is, she says she's unable to tell us who."

"I told you! The Thirteen warned me not to tell who or else the whole prophecy would fall apart!" Miko growled. She was starting to get annoyed by the Prime. Her mind said that she should leave the pain in the aft but her heart said to keep to him as close as possible. She sat on the railing, a more common place for her now, and crossed her arms. "You'll just have to trust me."

"What about the rest of us? Don't you think that we should protect the one who's going to die or they could at least prepare themselves for it?" one of the cyberninjas asked.

"We should be ready for the inevitable anyways! It's important for this mission so I can't tell you. End of discussion; now leave me alone." Miko retorted as she flung herself over the railing and landed on the ground. A foot blocked her path so she looked up to see Optimus.

"Miko, why must this person die?" Optimus asked. Miko sighed and looked away from him.

"It's the only way to end this war. No, the person to be killed is NOT a traitor. Their role is too big of a part to stand on the battlefield. I'm going home to prepare for tomorrow. I will see you all then." Miko said, and then walked out of the base. She knew it was stupid to leave alone, since it was a long walk, but she didn't care. Miko only needed time to think. An engine roared next to her and she saw Arcee's alt form, without Jack.

"Need a lift?" Arcee asked. Miko stood for a moment then nodded and hopped on. They drove in silence before Arcee spoke. "Jack's really stressed right now. You know he has feelings for you, it's just that he's worried for his team."

"I know it's just…hard. I know who is going to die and it's going to be difficult to deal with. I can't tell anybody so it just makes things worse." Miko sighed. Arcee hesitated for a moment.

"You're a lot different now that we know who you are. You're more…mature than you used to be." Miko merely shrugged.

"It was all a cover up. But I still am into rock and monster trucks!" Arcee stopped just outside of Jasper.

"This is your stop. See you tomorrow." Arcee said. Miko hopped off and watched the motorcycle drive away. She sighed and walked home for the last time before the battle.

"See you soon, Arcee." She whispered.


I was thinking about writing the dream where she talked to the Primes but I wanna keep who gets killed a secret ;)

As always, reviews are welcome!
