There was a delicate routine among the two sisters in which consisted of Miko's snoring face snoozing peacefully beside Mika positioned to be the first thing she sees in the morning. And so when the school alarm began blaring loudly into her ears, Mika's eye's opened to the typical snoring Miko Nakadai with cheeks puffed out and everything. Letting out a puff of amused breathless chuckling, Mika proceeded to shove Miko away from her and thus awoke her twin to the sensation of rolling off the bed and clomping onto the floor in an undignified heap.

"Oomph!" Miko quickly sat up, her hair disheveled and out of their usual buns; reigning freely over her face which in Mika's opinion was gorgeous. Her brown eye's glared heatedly to her giggling twin as she sat up on her elbows and when she attempted her retort, they heard the voice of their host mother shouting up to them to hurry up or else no breakfast.

Mika quickly got up, sneaking out of the window and managed to shimmy her way across the roof to her room before hopping into her own window and making her way to her closet. She picked a black shirt with the words 'Yeah, lets go with your idea and do it the dumbest way possible.' over light faded blue jeans that were ripped at the knee's. She quickly made her way into the bathroom to brush her teeth and then tame her purple and black locks. When that was complete, Mika grabbed her converse's and opened her door, running into Miko who quickly shoved her sister's glasses onto her face.

The two ran down stair's to be greeted by the glare of their host mother and a bowl of plain oatmeal. When the woman was sure the miscreants were set, she left the room and once Miko was sure she was gone, she shoved the food out the window for the dog to eat. The dog, Xavier, was grateful for any type of food and gobbled up all the non-devoured food. Mika, while her twin fed the dog the usual daily slop, snuck into their secret stash and pulled out a box of cereal and carton of milk before pouring Oreo cereal inside of their prospective bowls. The twins ate in silence for a while until their host mother came back just as they finished and sent the two outside and waiting for the school bus.

Standing, annoyed at the early morning chill and the long wait for said school bus, Mika pulled out a piece of pocky and nom'd on it just as Miko pulled out dual headphones for the two of them to listen to music. While Mika wasn't into the kind Miko was as much, she still liked listening and the two ended up sitting down on the sidewalk as the music played. Music blaring, feet taping, the two were unaware of their surroundings and so they were unaware of the group of students making their way over to the bus stop.

"Would you look at who it is." One sneered to the group.

"I think their musics too loud to hear us Marco." One sneered.

Marco Santiago glared to the two girls who were sucked into their music before a smirk set upon his lips and he walked up to them from behind and yanked the headphones off of their ears, snickering as they protested with a lout 'hey!' "Well if it isn't the local freak."

"Who you calling a freak Marcy?" Miko growled as she stood up, snatching her headphones back just as the boy narrowed his eye's at the nickname.

Marco took a step forward and his lacky friends took one as well just as Mika stood with Miko protectively in front of her as a shield. Mika frowned, her gaze lowering as she felt her body shiver under the gaze of her school bully.

"You can't hide behind her forever freak." Marco said specifically to Mika. "And you, piglet."

"Who you calling a piglet?!" Miko seethed.

"You can't protect her forever." He told her. "Just like there's five of us and only two of you."

Miko clenched her fist. "Mommy must be so proud." She said in mock kindness. "You can count! And they said your flunking math."

Marco snapped his fingers and his friends rushed the two girls who screamed and fought back. Two held Miko while another two held Mika and Marco grinned at the situation as he advanced on Mika with a dark look. To say he hated her would be an understatement. Marco despised her very existence and wouldn't care if she died suddenly on the street. Hell even the rest of the school thought that. Mika Nakadai was a freak of nature and had no right walking the same dirt path as him or anyone else, not even the right to kiss the dirt under his feet.

To Marco, she was trash.

Breath becoming faster and body slightly seizing in panic the closer he got to her form, Mika swallowed thickly and tensed her body when she saw the fire in his eye's and as he raised a hand to her, a rev of an engine startled the entire group and Marco and his friends where quick to ditch, throwing the girls onto the floor harshly as they fled. Mika hissed, sitting up and holding her now scraped hands as her twin held her knee for a moment and suddenly she found herself looking up as white cloth overtook her vision and a male appeared before her.

He was tall with red/brown messy hair, a small n shaped beard sat over a shadow of a beard, and bright blue eye's hidden behind glasses. Over his body was a doctors coat and a name tag was attached to his upper coat pocket with the Autobot's symbol and the name Ryan Chett sat underneath in elegantly written letters. He grabbed her hand, touch gentle, as he observed them.

"Just a small scrape." His voice sounded, a voice that was verrrrry familiar to Mika and she glanced over to the vehicle.

"R-Ratchet?" She blinked up to him, causing him to look down at her.

"What?"

"But.. how?" She peeked over to see a somewhat large and muscular guy in his late teens, maybe early twenties, with black hair and bright blue eyes. Over his forehead was a green bandana, a grey top holding his form tightly and dark army pants over army boots. He was speaking quietly to Miko who was openly gaping at him for all but two minutes before a large grin appeared on her face.

"It's called a holoform." Ratchet said, or should she say Ryan while he was in disguise? Whatever, Mika was just kind of shocked. "It's an invention of mine, keep this wrapped." He told her as he gently began wrapping the bleeding scrapes.

As Bulkheads holoform finished helping with Miko, said girl was staring at Ratchet and Mika with a curious look. Did Ratchet have any idea what he'd just done? He just saved Mika from her school bully, saved her from the usual beating and Miko watched at how her twin was staring at Ratchet. A grin sat upon Miko's face as her mind raced, oh yeah she definitely knew that the bots would be good for her. Though the grumpy medic was questionable, at least he seemed to care about her health.

Well... he was a doctor after all.

"Later Bulkhead will have to take you to base." Ratchet started, looking down at the girl. When he'd come to the school, though very much reluctant as he'd never wanted a charge let alone a shared one in the first place, he was shocked to see the two girls in the hands of those boys. He'd quickly inquired to what they were doing over the com to the others when Bumblebee had replied and told him it happens to Raf as well and that they were known as bullies.

Bee used the description of them being like a version of Decepticon's and how their treatment to Autobot's were (well maybe toned down in comparison on account of the Cons being much, much more violent). This had startled Ratchet into speeding up, Decepticon like humans? That didn't sound good at all, and with that he parked closer and Revved his engine angrily to startle the boys. While he didn't like the children, they were technically under their protection and the medic would be damned if he allowed something to happen if he could do something. Just because he didn't like them didn't mean he wanted anything bad to happen, by human hands or not.

"Why?" Mika questioned after a moment of silence.

"Chromia is on a mission and I am far to busy with testings." He replied. "Now hurry up so I can get back to base."

But despite his brushing off of her curiosity and his brief show of kindness, Mika found herself smiling ever so slightly as Ratchet helped her up seemingly oblivious to the girls expression.

...

...

...

Mika shook her head, hands gripping tightly at the seat belt and her heart pounding wildly in her ears. She wasn't ready for this, there's no way she was ready for this! Mika turned to Miko who was grinning widely as she peered out of the window and was practically bounced in her seat. Bulkhead had finally come to pick them up and now they were spending some 'quality time' together before heading to base and by quality time, Mika meant crazy Miko stuff... like preparing to speed down a large rocky hill... to their death.

"Are you ready!?" Miko made sure to secure her seat belt before squealing in excitement.

"No!" Mika squeaked in pure terror as her vision blurred when she looked down the slope. "Bulkhead please don-"

"To bad! Lets go Bulk!" Miko cheered while punching her fist into the air.

"Er..." Bulkhead frowned in worry. "Miko, I'm supposed to be protecting you, not putting you in danger."

"Yup! Th-this is not protecting. Nope. NO." Mika rambled as she tried pushing herself farther into her seat.

Miko paused in her cheering to peer at Bulkhead's radio with a raised brow before she scoffed. "We're sitting inside a ten ton Robot. We're protected." She assured as she pat the roof of his vehicular form.

This did little to assure Mika who's heart was beating faster and faster, as if it would leap from her chest at any given moment. It especially pounded when Bulkheads engine roared to life and he leaned forward before careening down the hill. The bot cringed at the sheer intensity of Mika's scream and then the velocity of Miko's cheering.

"Woohoo!"

He could only hope Ratchet and Chromia didn't kill him for terrifying their charge who was now clinging for dear life onto his steering wheel and screaming as if someone was murdering her.

Yup... He was dead.

And dead he was for as soon as they finished their fooling around and playing, He had returned to base via bridge and the moment they entered the silo, Mika made a desperate attempt to get out of his alt form and slammed into the floor with a squeak.

"Mika?" Miko popped her head out and peered down at her sister before giggling as Mika blew a strand of bangs out of her eye's, glaring through her glasses at her sister, before muttering an 'I'm okay.'

"Bulkhead." He quickly looked over to the one who had called him, and just as he feared, there Ratchet stood with a narrow gaze. "What did you do?" He inquired as he looked over his half charge.

"Uhh..."

"That was sweet!" Miko cheered as she leaped from Bulkheads Alternative form, her adrenaline going wiled as she practically danced around Mika's form on the floor just as Bumblebee and Arcee appeared.

Bulkhead was quick to transform, staring sheepishly at the medic and about to reply when he'd winced and felt something rattling within his chassis. Confused, He opened a compartment and reached within his frame before grasping something and pulling it out only to blink at a guitar.

"Whoops..." Miko said while rubbing the back of her head sheepishly. "I must of forgot that in the back seat?"

And yet again before Bulkhead could come up with an excuse for the human upon the ground who's heart was beating erratically, Optimus ventured forth from some unknown place and spoke up. "Ratchet, ready the ground bridge." His voice broke through the noise the children were making as Jack and Raf came from their guardians. "Autobot's prepare to-" He paused for a moment to stare at the children and his soldiers who all stared up at him expectantly. He'd momentarily forgotten that they had the children around now and he frowned as he began to feel rather uncertain on what to do...

"Roll out?" Arcee tilted her head just as Chromia's engine roared into base and she transformed.

"Hey kid." She smiled to her charge, patting her head. "Sorry about not being there today. Duty called."

"It's okay..." Mika said shyly.

"-Remain here." Optimus finished much to Arcee's confusion. "Ratchet, you and Arcee are with me. Chromia, I will be outside of communications range for some time and as such I will be leaving you in charge."

Chromia blinked to him in uncertainty just as Miko made her way closer to her bot and not so inconspicuously whisper shouted. "Dude, your like the biggest and toughest bot. You should totally be in charge."

"Errr... he never picks me." Bulkhead mumbled before looking for Mika who'd disappeared on them.

"Optimus, with all due respect, playing bodyguard is one thing but babysitting is another." Arcee argued. "Besides, Ratchet hasn't been in the field since the war."

"My pistons may be rusty but my hearing is as sharp as ever." Ratchet informed with an annoyed twitch in his left optic.

Chromia and the rest chuckled at that before she shook her head and peeked over to her charge snoozing away on the couch and she gave a smirk. "I think I'll be fine 'baby sitting' as you put it on account that my charge is... indisposed."

All the bots turned to the direction she was looking at chuckled at the sight of the girl laying half on the couch and a snore leaving her every now and then.

"She has issues sleeping sometimes." Miko said with a shrug. "She'll wake in a bit." Miko informed before Optimus, Arcee and Ratchet exited the Silo via Bridge.

"So! Whats on the agenda?" Jack said after a moment of silence and Chroma folded her arms as she leaned against the wall.

"Well, I should probably finish my homework and study for tomorrow's test." Rafael mumbled as he pulled out his laptop and flopped next to the snoozing Mika.

"What? But that's not due till... like... next week." Miko argued, studying and homework was BORING.

"Try the day after tomorrow Miko." Jack chuckled, "Luckily mines all finished." He folded his arm's before raising an eyebrow at her. "I'm guessing you put it all off... again."

"... Shut up."

It wasn't but an hour to two hours later that a loud and obnoxious beeping had began to blare through the base and proceeded to wake Mika who had slept through Agent Fowler's visit and melt down, plus through Miko's jam session... according to what her twin informed her that is. In an attempt to block out the loud blaring noise, Mika covered her ears and gave a startled cry at the painful velocity of the sound before Chromia's voice shouted over the noise.

"We have received an alert from Agent Fowler!" She informed before turning to the Autobots and then the children as the alarm quieted. "You four are to stay here while we track his position."

Mika rubbed her eye's sleepily as she watched Bulkhead, Bumblebee and Chromia bolt into the ground bridge with strict order's to Jack who was in charge. Slightly confused, the dark haired girl let out a soundless yawn before an arm appeared out of no where and yanked her a long and through the bridge with a startled, unheard, yelp before she found herself and Miko in a large canyon like structure.

Even more confused, alert, and startled, Mika looked to see it had been Miko who pulled her through the bridge and was now yanking her to hide behind a rock that sat a little bit of a ways away from the Autobot's.

Following their train of vision, Mika paled as her eye's landed on a very large and very gloomy alien like ship that sat menacingly before them with those vehicon things patrolling around it with weapons out and gazes trained all around... this was where Fowler's distress signal came from? She felt her body begin to tremble in fear only to freeze on the spot when her necklace began to pulse.

Startled, Mika pulled her purple crescent moon out and stared at it mutely as the purple in the moon began to ominously glow and unbeknownst to the Autobot's, two humans and Vehicons-

Somewhere both within the ship and within a large intimidating Decepticon, the same purple crystal began to pulse in sync causing the Decepticon to pause in his flight to peer down at the pulsing glow before his helm turned back towards where he'd left the Decepticon warship.

The purple and black haired girl began to frown even more at the necklace and at the dark pulse it was giving off before she quickly shoved it back into her shirt and turned her attention back to Miko who popped her head up from behind the rocks excitedly. "So what's the plan?"

So startled where the bots, they all jumped and whirled back to the sound of the voice only to gasp at the sight of the two sister's and Chromia and Bulkhead narrowed their eyes angrily. "Miko/Mika!" They hissed at the same time only for the sound of a powering up gun to distract them and have them turn into the direction in which it sounded only to come face to face with a vehicon making it's way over to them.

"Oh... unwise." Miko and Mika practically whimpered just as Bulkhead let out a battle growl and leaped up from his position and towards the oncoming con. His large frame clashed against it as it tried in vain to shake the huge bot from its body and Bulkhead had enough courtesy to turn to the two girls.

"Get down!" He shouted as Mika grabbed Miko and dodged oncoming fire from the Decepticon warship, the two rolling across the rocky ground and gaining scrapes against their skin just as Chromia and Bumblebee began firing back.

Very much into the fight, Miko watched her guardian battling the con with complete and utter awe as the rumbled and tumbled about before Bulkhead managed to pin the con down and proceeded to beat the slag out of it. Wanting nothing more then to be apart of the action, Miko jumped from her hidden position and raced over, picking up the biggest rock she could all the while shouting. "Hold him in place!" Before she slammed the rock onto the con's face.

The rock clanked against the con's head before falling uselessly onto the ground and the battle around them practically paused as all stopped fighting to stare over at Miko. Said girl noticed the awkward air and sheepishly rubbed her head "Uh... whoopsie?"

"Look away!" Bulkhead shouted as he and the con resumed their struggled.

"But-" Miko started to protest before Bulkhead replied to her in a much, MUCH more stern of a voice.

"Turn away now!"

Mika turned her head, the battle was starting to get to her. She'd always hated violence, never liking to be around it or the cause of it as she'd always wanted to be a medic and help people, but never harm... Mika's innocent, but semi dark and abused, mind had one sure drilled belief. A life was a life even that of a criminal. So with that, Mika quickly clenched her eye's shut and held her hands over her ears in fear of hearing the sound. But Chromia had made her way over to her half charge and, upon noticing the state she was in concerning battle, covered her with her hands as to help block out the sound of Bulkhead snarling and slamming his fist through the Decepticon's Chassis and thoroughly ripping it's spark out.

Miko however, continued watching in unbound fascination with only one word leaving her lips. "Whoa..."

It was safe to assume that after that, Chromia was quick to com back to base for the children to get the bridge back to which she had explained the workings quickly to Rafael and the bots were waiting in near by cover as the vehicons searched endlessly for the intruders near by. Not even twenty minutes had passed before Bulkhead began to grow ever so restless as time passed on and he shifted in discomfort, "What's taking them so long?" He wondered in aggravation, the Children in the back looking at each other with a frown, they had to get to Fowler before it was too late!

As if on cue in response to Bulkhead inquiry, the bridge opened near them and out of it came Rafael and Jack who stared over to them in worry. "What are you doing!?" Chromia commanded as they both came through. "Do you realize what you've done?" She questioned as the portal behind them closed.

Raf looked up to her wide eyed and apologetic before she let out a hiss of aggravation and turned to Bulkhead. "We have no choice but to let them tag along. Bulkhead I want you to-"

"You there! Autobot's sighted!" A voice shouted from the ship and that's when shots began raining down on them harshly causing the bots to curse.

"Scrap! Get in now!" Bulkhead, who had been in his alternative form, swung around with his

Bulkhead transformed and popped open his door's for the two children to hop into, unknown to them that Mika and Miko hadn't been seen and were already hidden in back, and Jack let out a breath of relief.

"Thanks Bulkhead." Jack said, puffing air out from running.

"What are you two doing here?" He asked, more so groaned.

"We opened the bridge for Chromia and came through to help with Mika and Miko." Raf explained.

"Have you seen them?" Jack inquired in worry before he let out a rather girly scream followed by Raf and then Bulkheads screeching to a stop just as Miko and Mika popped up from the back seat, thoroughly scaring the scrap out of everyone.

"What do they look like?"

"Alright, everyone out." Bulkhead demanded as his door's popped open. Frowning, the children all looked at each other before beginning to pile out, only Bulkhead hadn't noticed that he shut the doors upon Mika and Miko before he was speeding off and making the two crash into each other before suddenly the bot had transformed around them and encased them in shadows.

In the dark, and now more scared then before, Mika hugged herself to her twin for protection and comfort while Miko shouted for her to hang on as their world began to move

The two winced as the world around them tipped, shook and their heads began to feel light and airy just as Miko began to groan and whine about her stomach and the urge to hurl. Mika was quick to urge her to hold it as she didn't quite want puke upon her body. The two listened to the ongoing battle outside of the darkness they were encased in and when it went silent, Miko proceeded to pound on the wall around them very much wanting OUT.

Bulkhead, now a top the ship while Chromia and Bee stormed the inside from below, blinked in confusion at the knocking before sparing a glance to Raf and Jack who were looking around them in alarm. Sighing in exasperation, Bulkhead opened his chest compartment and was only slightly shocked to see the two girls popping up making sounds as if they were going to throw up, much to his disgust. "Miko?! Mika?!"

"I heaved on your floor mats." Miko groaned as she held her stomach, attempting to hold back the urge to heave once more.

"Sorry." Mika whimpered almost silently as she clutched her stomach as well, the nausea washing over her and Miko like a title wave only to be multiplied through their bond as they felt each other's ill feelings.

"Remind my to never do that again." Miko informed Mika as Bulkhead set them down.

"Duly noted." Mika grumbled before stretching and taking notice of the empty top of the ship and the two cast thumbs up to Bulkhead who chuckled sheepishly.

"Wowwww nice work Bulk!" Miko whistled before pretending to hold a microphone and adopting a wild look. "Today on Wreckers gone wild, we got bulky wreaker Bulkhead live in action."

Mika gave a little laugh while Bulkhead rolled his eye's, the moment however was short lived as a hatch suddenly shot open and the sound of pede's racing towards them sent them into alarm as vehicons began to poor out of the hatch. Miko yanked Mika away and towards a safe point so as not the get in the way.

Unfortunately a con had flew between the two and ended up separating them as Miko went flying to the left and slamming into a part of the ship with a pained groan, and Mika was sent flying into the air only a few feet from the ground before slamming down and rolling across the metal of the ship. She rolled to a stop a moment later with a gasp of pain and, in an attempt to get up, placed her hands down to push her up. Something must have triggered a hidden compartment in the ship because the moment Mika's hands touched the metal (Though unknownst to her it was actually her necklace that had touched the metal beneath her) A hidden hatch opened and she suddenly found herself falling and being swallowed into darkness with only Miko's name screaming from her lips in terror.

The last thing Mika heard as she was enveloped into the shadow's was the sound of Miko screaming her name before nothing
