Miko gave a look at the text book, before sighing, the words just sound like another language to her; one she couldn't understand. She hated history and detention; she got both in one day. She was dying to get to base with Bulkhead.
Her ears pricked up to the sound of loud heavy metal. She turned her head to see Bulkhead outside. Miko felt a large smirk come on her face. Her eyes darted over to the teacher, who was reading the newspaper, not caring at all on who was doing what in the classroom.
Miko quickly pulled her things together and waited to make sure no one was watching before she bolted for the door. She quickly ran down the hall and outside. Her heart pounding at the rush she just got from skipping the hour in hell to spend it with her guy. She went wide eyed, her guy? 'Miko,' she sighed to herself. 'You are so head over heels!'
She jumped into Bulkhead's side seat. "I love this song," She grinned at his holoform.
The holoform wore a black tank top and a set of green camouflage combat trousers. He was quite buff too, like a boxer. Bulkhead looked at her with a frown. "I thought you had detention, did it end early?"
"Did for me," She smiled playfully, placing her seatbelt on, keeping one of her hands on it, and stroking it. She knew that is was a weak spot for Bulkhead and that he couldn't make a comeback as he was enjoin the touch of a good massage. Miko then looked out the window and gasped. "Oh no, here comes Teach and she don't look too happy." She whipped her head over to him. "Step on it, Bulkhead." She shot him a pout and puppy dog eyes.
He twitched at her face. "Aw, Miko." He then gave in, he blast off, away from school. He sighed, he couldn't ever say no to her.
Ratchet watched the monitors, she was watching out for any Decepticon signals or other strange activate. So far not much had turned up.
In the background, Diamond was humming to himself, he seemed strangely happy today. Well, he had started school today; Ratchet had to guess that he had found a cute girl at school. She could tell by the look on his face, she'd seen the same look on June's face when she first meet Optimus, or Orion, as that had been his name at the time.
Jade wasn't there, cause Fowler took her off to meet with a few government people.
Raf, however, was at the base, Bumblebee was on a mission so Ratchet had to watch him, she didn't mind Raf, he helped get rid of a lot of bugs in the human computers, something Ratchet was grateful for. Good thing, Raf had his father's computer skills. At the moment he was trying to fix his laptop, after it got, fried by the M.E.C.H hacker, Raf had gone out and bought some more equipment to try and fix it.
She then heard Bulkhead enter the base.
"You sound like my parents," Miko snapped at him.
Ratchet sighed, couple fighting, she was so glad she was single. Altogether if she had to get a partner she'd probably snag Wheeljack, if he wasn't so annoying.
As they continued to bicker, Ratchet picked up a signal, she smirked as she found a way to get rid of the noise in her workspace. She had caught onto the conversion that Miko had be skipping school and she remember Jade scolding her for not working on her history report on ancient history.
"I'm picking up a fresh energon pulse, coming from a place called Greece, an ancient city, quite historical I believe."
Bulkhead took the bait, forming his own plan in his head. "Ancient Greece," He muttered. "Oh~! Field trip!"
After Ratchet activated the ground-bridge she watched Bulkhead and Miko leave before closing it down.
"You planned that didn't you?" Raf questioned her.
"Now, how did you guess?" Ratchet questioned with a smirk. "Now, how about I help you with that?" She pointed at the laptop. "And you keep quite?" Raf thought for a few seconds. "I'll add some Transformer tech to it for a BONUS too."
"Deal." Raf grinned.
"I take it that, Megatron needs a laboratory assist?" Knock Out questioned, her hips swinging a little as she walked down the halls of the warship with Starscream.
"You might say that." Starscream answered, not showing her much respect as he hated gender shifters and those who chose ground modes over flight. He opened the door to the med bay.
"Whoa," Knock Out muttered, she quickly ducked over to the body monitories.
Megatron lay on the berth with life-support systems. He seemed to have brainwave activity but he showed no signs of actual recovery.
"What happened?" She questioned, going into all medic mode.
"Space bridge explosion, the crew voted to have him looked at by an expert. I had planned to call your sister, Flatline and her sparkmate, but Soundwave called you before I got the chance to tell him."
"Good thing he did," She snorted. She scanned Megatron's limp form. "My sister is often better at breaking it than fixing it."
"Can you fix him?" Starscream asked, although the tone in his voice sounded like he hoped otherwise.
"As soon as I understand more of what is going on with him." She grumbled. "It would be easier if my twin were here."
"And what is taking your twin?" Starscream questioned.
"We were on a fresh energon trail when you called, Breakdown shall show when he's finished scouting it."
"So he's in his male form." Starscream sneered.
"Maybe," Knock Out said through gritted teeth. "It's a little harder for him to hold onto the one form."
"Then please make sure it stays one form." He left the med bay.
Knock Out growled, muttering to herself about stuck up seekers. She pulled up DATA LOGS of the crew, hoping to find something to help Megatron come back.
Miko stood with Bulkhead looking at the painting.
"Why would Ancient Greeks paint a picture of an energon harvester?" Bulkhead muttered.
"You know what that round thing is?" Miko quickly snapped a photo. "You're smarter than you let on, handsome." She placed her phone back in her pocket before turning and smiling. She was about to ask something but a voice drew their attention.
"But even dumber than he looks." They looked over to see a 'Con up on the cliff they were previously on.
Miko felt her jaw drop, a femme, a nice good looking one too, although she was a bit bulky, but still good looking.
"Breakdown," Bulkhead growled.
"You know her?" Miko questioned, feeling a little worried.
"We have a history." He answered with venom in his voice.
Miko frowned, hoping that history between these two didn't mean dating history. Bulkhead was hers and no Wheeljack or 'Con was getting in her way. She glared at the femme on the cliff.
"And you have a pet," Breakdown then smirked. "Does it play catch?" She grabbed one of the pillars and threw it at Miko, "Catch," She taunted.
Miko smirked, finally time for her to have the spotlight. She let her wings burst from her back and she let off a huge sonic blast.
The blast shattered the pillar to pieces.
Breakdown tilted her head to the side. "Oh," She licked her lips. "The scream guardian; Not many of those ones went 'Autobot' now did they Bulkhead?"
Miko frowned. "What?"
"Miko," Bulkhead's voice snapped her out of her thoughts. "Hide, this one, is personal."
Miko felt her feet BACK UP and she took off into the air and landed nearby so she could snap some photos. She mentally planned to ask Bulkhead about it, later.
Breakdown smirked as Bulkhead left, himself, wide open for an attack. She uppercut him and sent him flying into the painting, she'd managed to com Soundwave and told him to look for the energon harvester, so the painting no longer held value to Decepticons.
"Oh, my," She sniggered. "Hope the painting wasn't too important." She then took off, transforming and driving in the direction of the Decepticon ship.
*After the destruction of the energon harvester*
Knock Out hissed as she buffed out a dent in her armour. "Well, that could have gone better." She grumbled.
They'd just gotten back to the med-bay and were just removing a few dents and rocks from they're amour and wires.
"Could have been worse too," Breakdown, in his male form, gave off a growl as he tried to pull a piece of rock out of his back.
Knock Out spotted what he was trying to do and decide to give him a hand. "Here let me," She managed to yank it out in one pull, Breakdown flinched, but other than that he was alright.
"Is it bleeding?" He questioned.
"Yeah, thankfully it didn't go in too deep. Hang on and I'll get my welder." She walked over to the side of the med-bay, picked up one of the welders and metal scraps; she then went back over to Breakdown and started to fix up the wound.
"Hard to believe his like that," Breakdown grunted, pointing his head in Megatron.
Knock Out looked over to Megatron's limp form. "I know," She muttered remembering how Megatron saved them from a life of slavery.
It was back when Megatron called himself Megatronus; Knock Out, Breakdown and their older sister, Flatline were lower castes, and because both Knock Out and Breakdown were gender shifters that made them go from miners to pleasure bots, when they were sold to, what humans would call it, a brothel.
Flatline got lucky, and stayed at the mines. For Knock Out and Breakdown however, it was pit.
After vorns of working for their master, Megatronus came to them. At first they thought he was a customer but when he had them released from slavey, and told them that their sister told him of what had happened he offered to get them out. In return they'd learn medicine and science, for him.
When they asked what reason would he need them to learn those topics, he told them that a storm may be coming, and he needed all the help he could get.
They meet with a bot of the science and medicine castes, who was a friend to Megatronus.
The three of them did study what he'd wanted, Flatine was great at the science work, while Breakdown was somewhat good at the medicine. Knock Out however surpassed them both in both field. She'd soon reached a point when even her teacher couldn't teach her anymore.
That put her in a high favour with Megatronus, and Breakdown being her twin became her assistant.
"We'll fix him," Knock Out muttered, more to herself than her twin.
Miko glared at the SECURITY GUARD. She hoped like hell the 'bots busted her out before the police got here.
It was then that the door opened, both Jade and Fowler were standing there.
"Special Agent Emerald Fowler." Fowler greeted the man, showing him her badge. "The stolen item has been found and returned to the museum."
The guard looked at the SECURITY SCREENS; the orb was back in its proper place. He looked surprised.
"The girl comes with us," Jade said helping Miko out of the chair.
"Who are you?" The guard demanded.
Jade looked at him, before pulling out her, own badge. "Agent Jade Shield." She then pulled out Miko's mobile. "You left this on the ground," After they walked out, she finished with: "Right next to your history report."
Miko sniggered, 'Owned.' She then frowned, "How did you know about the history report?"
"I didn't, I know you, it was a guess that you did that."
Miko flushed bright pink, "Can I see that badge?"
"No," Jade told her in a cold tone, but went through her pocket and pulled one like it out, "But you can look at your own."
Miko grinned and took it, smiling as she saw her high school photo, the name read: Miko Scream. She then spotted a CREDIT CARD up the top.
"That's just encase we're stuck somewhere if the ground-bridge breaks down. The badge is only encase we get caught in a jam like you did just then." They exited the building to see Bulkhead, Cliffjumper and Arcee waiting for them. Miko grinned and looked to Jade, as if asking a silent question. Jade nodded. "Get going."
Miko raced off and jumped into Bulkhead's side seat, then after a few moments of talking drove off.
Jade watched them for a few moments before turning back to Fowler. "Thanks,"
Fowler nodded, "Welcome, see ya, kid." She ruffled Jade's hair and left her, heading over to her car.
Jade then felt an arm wrap around her waist. She looked behind her to see Arcee's holoform holding her. "Hey," She muttered, "Miss me?"
"It's only been a few earth hours," He muttered. "But yeah, I did." He then kissed her, long and soft. It was a few seconds before Jade felt another pair of lips at her neck.
"Hmm?" She muttered looking behind her. Cliffjumper's holoform was there giving a puppy dog face. "Aw, you feeling left out, Cliff?" She smirked.
"Haven't you been with her all day?" Arcee questioned, he didn't mind Cliff getting in on the kissing, but seriously?
"That doesn't mean I got to kiss or snuggle her, they kept her to busy with questions and that." He gave off a pout.
"Come on then let's get home." Jade pulled on both of their arms down to their forms. Primus, she was in a war, yet she loved her life. She wouldn't imagine being anywhere else at the moment.
