Two weeks are never enough. School was back and the exam month was here. Every single student was in a frenzy. Cramming everything they could into their craniums before the fateful week came along.

The freshmen noticed Optimus in a particular harsh craze.

Jack held his hand up to wave at the Autobot leader but the Prime Program student just walked right by him, muttering math equations to himself.

"Don't take it personally. He gets like this every year during exams." Elita assured him during one lunch. "If he fails, he gets kicked out of the Prime Program and he has no assurance of getting back in. He'd have to take the exam again and all that. It's just easier for him to get all worked up and pass, then laze around and risk failure. Speaking of failure...I'm gonna be in this linguistics class until the day I die!"

Elita planted her face within the pages of her book.

"Hey don't worry Elita. You've been doing grea-ah, goo-ah, not ba...you're totally passing this year!" Smokescreen spoke.

Everyone turned to look at him blankly.

"What?" Smokescreen asked before Bulkhead knocked him over the head.

"Don't freak Ellen, get over a 59 and you'll be good. You'll never have to see Mr. Ception after that." Arcee spoke.

Elita groaned.

"Soooo are there any exams that you guys are worried about?" Raf asked.

Wheeljack propped his feet up on the table only to have them shooed off by Ultra Magnus.

"Well," Wheeljack spoke with small scowl, "I know I've got everything down in the bag. No worries on this end."

Everyone responded with agreements and nods while Elita continued to silently die within the pages of 'To Kill a Mockingbird'.

The end of the day came and Jack met up with his two friends by their lockers.

"Hey guys, you know that there's no faction meeting today right?" Jack said as he walked up to them.

"Yeah." Raf replied.

"Oh yeah," Miko answered, "Bulkhead told me. He said that he and Wheeljack are gonna go watch the hockey team play after school. And they're taking me with!"

"Wait...we have a hockey team?" Jack wondered.

"Uh, yeah duh mister Steadfast. We have a hockey team and they're made up of a bunch of Autobots too!" Miko explained.

"Really? Anyone we know?" Raf asked.

Miko shook her head. "Bulkhead said that they're not all that social. But they're super awesome at crushing the other schools! Since they're so good and crushin', and all super tall they earned the team name of Dinobots."


Wheeljack and Bulkhead led Miko through the seats of the stadium.

"So, how good is really good with these guys?" Miko asked the two older student as they sat down close to the glass.

"Well, there's mainly five of them. They're parents are unknown-real touchy subject so don't mention it-but they're names are...well, they only go by their nicknames, which also happen to be their faction names...did they ever tell us their real names?" Bulkhead explained, turning to Wheeljack.

"Slag, Snarl, Swoop, Sludge, and the team captain Grimlock." Wheeljack finished. "And no. I don't think they ever did. I mean, we don't have any classes with them so we wouldn't really know."

"Huh." Miko muttered as the two teams came out onto the ice.

"Are those them?" Miko asked, pointing to the team dressed in silver and blue.

"Yeah, some of them. Like, Slag and Snarl I think. Looks like they're saving the heavy hitters for later." Bulkhead answered.

It looked like the two teams were practicing for a bit on the ice until the game truly began.

The two teams lined up and the referee dropped the puck. Then the two sides charged forward and clashed.

Miko wasn't too big on hockey, so a lot of the words and phrases being screamed around her meant little to nothing. Instead, she kept her eyes fixed on the ice bound battle. The kids on both teams sped about and were coming into close contact with each other trying to take the puck.

Unfortunately, the other scored the first and only goal in the first period. The two teamswent together to either switch out or make new plans. Several players on both teams left the ice in favour of new ones.

"Alright, here come out the big guns." Bulkhead muttered excitedly.

Miko saw an exceptionally tall boy come out onto the ice.

"There's Grimlock." Wheeljack whispered to her.

When the game started back up again, it was a complete massacre. Grimlock and the rest of the Dinobots decimated the other team. Pushing them aside with ease and shotting the puck at the goal at lightning speeds.

Miko found herself cheering alongside her fellows. The game was quite exciting and she always did enjoy a chance to see her school kicking aft.

When the game was over, Cybertron won, 4-1.

"Woohoo!" Miko cheered as their students waved and went off of the ice.

"Man, that was awesome." Miko said as they walked out of the stadium.

"Yeah, and they're playing in the Galaxy Games too. With us Wreckers on several different fields, the sports area is for Cybertron Academy is pretty much covered." Bulkhead replied.

"Don't we know it. Hey Miko, if we can, we'll get you to meet the Dinbots. 'Kay?" Wheeljack promised sincerely.

"Yes! And I am so going to hold you to that." Miko replied with a smile.

"Whatever you say kid." Wheeljack replied. "Now...exams!"


Yeah, I'm too big on the whole hockey thing. Not that I dislike it it's just not my thing. One of my friends on the other hand-

So the Dinobots! They're here! Now they will have a bigger role soon but not now. Just you guys wait.

Let me know what you think! Comment and review!
