Hey guys, thanks for all the support.

Also thank you Cashagon for pointing out my continuity error. I'd forgotten that those episodes ran together. So this could be placed sometime after "Operation: Bumblebee Part II".

Transformers Prime belongs to Hasbro.

Maximum Ride belongs to James Patterson.

Also, "This", is Bumblebee talking

Hours Before

Miko sat in the human area of the base with Raf. Arcee had rode in to base a while a go, but without Jack. When she was asked, the two-wheeler said that Jack was helping June at the hospital today. Miko thought it was strange, but she let it go, she could tell the bots weren't in the mood for her commentary.

Now she sat on the couch, going through conspiracy websites with Raf, while also reading a blog that she'd come across for fun.

The blog itself was good, despite having been started during the early 90s. While Miko expected a teenage girl talking about her crushes and celebrities and fashion, she was surprised to learn it wasn't even remotely close to that at all. It was started by a fourteen-year-old boy going by the name of Fang. Miko got really interested when she found out that was his real name too, and she read on to discover horrible things.

Fang had grown up with five other kids: Max, Iggy, Nudge, The Gasman (Or "Gazzy"), and Angel, in a torturous hell called "The School", which had genetically modified them before they were born. The result was a group of kids with wings, if that wasn't cool enough, they escaped and were on the run for years, acquiring a talking dog named Total along the way. They flew all over the country, going to places like NYC and Hollywood and many places in between.

...The Flock and I are pretty much living with Anne now, going to school with normal kids blah, blah, blah. Max doesn't like it, but she doesn't trust Anne, or anyone outside of us. She barely trusted the doctors that saved me from bleeding out a few weeks back. We still haven't made any progress on the packet of encoded info we got from the Institute of Higher Living, the younger kids are getting restless in the search. How do you normal kids stand this stuff for your entire lives? Max is calling, dinnertime.

Fly on,

Fang

Miko read on for several hours, through three years of Fang and the Flock's adventures. She nearly squealed in excitement when, towards the end, she read that Fang and Max had a baby boy Fang gave the blog name "Jay". Later on, Fang uploaded a picture of Jay, a two month old baby boy with raven black hair, blue eyes and fluffy black wings, being held by Max, a woman with blonde-brown streaked hair and chocolate eyes. Miko thought both Max and Jay looked familiar, but she brushed it off when Ratchet announced that he'd detected energon underneath San Francisco. Bumblebee, Arcee and Bulkhead prepped to go out.

"Can we go with you?" Miko asked. "Please, we won't get in your way."

"...Okay," Arcee said. "But you do as we say. No ifs, ands, or buts."

"Sweet!"

"Ugh, he never mentioned it was in the sewers," Miko gagged, wrinkling at her nose at the smell. Her and Raf sat on their guardians' shoulders as the group walked through the sewers.

"Its better than a subway," Bulkhead said.

"Yeah," Bee beeped. "Less chance of being discovered."

They eventually arrived in a large room that seemed so out of place in the sewers. Half had dirt walls, the other had stone. Several large chunks of energon stuck out of the dirt.

"Primus..." Arcee gasped. "That's a lot of energon."

Bulkhead and Bumblebee set Miko and Raf on the ground, and the two mechs joined the femme in harvesting the life giving crystals.

The children sat down on a rock and began talking.

"What do you think Jack is doing now?" Raf wondered. Miko shrugged.

"Scrubbing bedpans?"

"Or talking with old ladies." The two snickered.

"Getting his cheeks pinched by old ladies!"

The two went back and forth until they heard other Cybertronians approaching. Before they could warn the Bots, a squadron of Vehicons burst in, shooting at the Bots and nearly hitting the remains of the energon.

"Scrap!" Bulkhead yelled. He turned his servos into wrecking balls and began to smash the Vehicons. Raf dragged Miko behind a taller rock just as Arcee kicked one into the spot where they'd been standing. Bumblebee began blasting the Vehicons one by one. The battle seemed to be going like normal, until a loud wolf howl was heard through the opening. Everyone stopped, even the Vehicons. They all turned toward the opening.

Countless horrible creatures burst through. They had matted fur and red eyes, and wore the tattered remains of what had once been business suits. Several held assault rifles, but most had their long, horrid claws. The creatures wanted no time in rushing forward, attacking Bots and Vehicons alike, hissing when energon (from the Vehicons) hit their skin.

The humans stood horrified as the monsters attacked their alien friends and before the two kids knew it, they were surrounded by three monsters. Miko let out a scream and Raf whimpered, "I don't want to die."

Someone let out a horrid battle screech and knocked the beast away with a flying roundhouse kick. The beast went flying, knocking down the three that were fighting Arcee.

The boy had windblown raven hair and pale skin. He wore a tattered black pullover hoodie, dark blue ripped pants and black combat boots. His right arm had long claw marks, a long set of bleeding scratches on his face, along with a black eye. His left thigh had three long horizontal claw marks on it, knuckles and nose were bloody and he had several bruises.

He growled and lunged, kicking one in the throat and hitting the other on the side of the head with the blunt side of the hatchet. The two recovered and extened their claws. The boy snarled and flipped the hatchet in his grip. The one ran at him and sliced at his side, catching a bit of skin and spraying his blood to the floor. Miko screamed again and Raf cried out in shock.

He turned and in a flash, he'd wedged the hatchet blade halfway through the beast's neck. It fell to the floor, dead. The second one ran from behind him, grabbing his head and slamming him into the wall. The boy staggered, but righted himself just in time to imbed the hatchet in the oncoming beast's skull. The hulking mutant dropped dead. The boy turned to then and they knew instantly who he was.

"Jack!?" Raf squeaked in alarm.

"What are you...h-how..." Miko couldn't finish. Jack took charge and turned to them, whipping out my wings, thirteen and a half feet wide with pure black feathers. The two gawked and backed away.

"Raf, Miko, get back to the Groundbridge," Jack ordered. Another beast tackled him pinning him to the floor. Jack held the open maw in my hands, preventing it from biting his head. "NOW!"

They ran, narrowly avoiding the other beasts. As they ran through the sewers, a Groundbridge swirled into existence and Optimus ran through.

"Get back to base as fast as you can," He said, before running towards the battle. The two nodded and ran as fast as their legs could go. Within seconds they were in the base, and ran up the catwalk to where Ratchet was. The red and white medic cursed in Cybertronian as he ran over the bio signs of each member, growling when the screen read out Bumblebee's unconcious state.

There was a lot of blaster fire over the comm link and someone female screamed something they couldn't make out. The comm went silent and for a few seconds they feared the worst. Until there was the sound of three sets of pedes crossing into the base.

Optimus, Arcee, and Bulkhead walked through the GroundBridge, helms lowered.

"Where's Bee?" Raf asked, worried for his friend. Optimus frowned sadly.

"Bumblebee, along with a human of unknown identity, have been captured by the hybrids that attacked you," Optimus reported sadly. "Though the human was not alone."

He held out his servos to reveal what he'd been gently holding. A female human who was about thirty-three years old with tanned skin, wavy brown-blonde streaked hair in a ponytail, brown short leather jacket with a long neck, cream shirt and brown undershirt, torn blue jeans, and brown combat boots. Her flesh was marred with cuts and claw marks, several large bruises discolored her body and face, and a large cut marred her forehead. As if she couldn't get any stranger, she sported a fifteen foot wingspan with a beautiful mixture of browns, creams, and whites. A lone backpack was wedged between her and the Autobot's servos and in her hand she held a bloody machete.

"Ohmygod," Miko gasped, looking away.

"We need to call June," Ratchet said, switching to full on CMO. "Lay her on that stretcher over there. Raf, Miko, get something to support her...wings."

Optimus laid the woman gently on the stretcher as the two young children rolled over carts to support her wings. Miko gently tugged the woman's backpack off and set it next to her.

"What are we gonna do about Bee?" Bulkhead asked. "Those monsters grabbed him and that human for a reason."

"Maybe she knows," Arcee said pointedly, gesturing to the woman. A small ring stopped any conversation in the base, as everyone turned to the woman's backpack. Raf inched over and pulled out the phone, dropping it when he looked at the caller ID.

"It's the comm link number," He squeaked. The woman groaned and sat up, holding her head in her hand and pulling her wings in.

"Ugh, how'd I get here?" She looked over at the Bots, revealing chocolate brown eyes. The entire group gaped, as it was June's voice coming out of the woman's mouth. "Why are you all looking at me so weirdly?"

She gasped. "Arcee, where's Jack!?"

Well that was a twist wasn't it?

Review if you liked it, review if you didn't. I love hearing from you guys.

Thanks for all the support.
