In medbay Ratchet was slowly examining the wound on his hand and sighed. "The little gremlin has a nasty bite...any harder and he could have easily punctured the energon line there." He grumbled as he gave himself a scan before givining himself the vaccine shot to be on the safe side. He than left medbay only to see Optimus' grimancing in pain again as Seth was clearly chomping down onto his hand again well more like biting down onto the sensitive wires once more. How the brat managed to figure out were these sensitive wires were and how much damage he could do, Ratchet could only imagine. Than again Seth was from another dimension where he knew way too much about cybertronians and about their personal lives that made the situation very unnerving and yet at the same time startling. "Oh for Primus' sake, Optimus. Put the gremlin down, he obviously doesn't like being held and he's most likely starving. According to the last scan I did on his body it's been roughly forty eight hours since he last eaten." Ratchet snapped. Optimus looked down at Seth who growled up at him as he refused to stop his attack.

"So he is hungry?" Bulkhead asked softly in disbelief as he looked at Seth who was still chomping down into Optimus' hand. Seth only growled deeply and bit down harder making Optimus grimance even more so.

"Sethiroth James Grimsely, if you bite any harder you'll puncture the energon line that runs there with your sharp teeth. Now knock it off unless you want energon poisoning." Ratchet scolded sharply at him. Almost insteantly Serth seemed to ease on the biting so it wouldn't puncture the energon line but yet he still made it very uncomfortable for Optimus.

Arcee approached and gently tapped Seth on the head making him growl louder in warning he would risk energon poisoning to prove his point on how he hated being held. "If you want something to eat, you need to stop biting Optimus so we can take you somewhere to get some food." Arcee said firmly making him glance at her.

"Or we can get him some food." Miko offered.

"Miko, we are trying to get the gremlin to stop biting Optimus, not encourage him to continue biting him." Ratchet hissed at her.

"Maybe he's just scared of heights and is afraid Optimus is going to drop him or something. I mean we know you wont drop us, but I don't think he understands that." Jack said. Optimus looked down at Seth whose left eye was twitching in annoyance at Jack's words. However Seth had stopped biting Optimus. Optimus quickly but yet very gently set him back down onto the floor before seth could continue his attack.

"I'm not afraid of heights Jack, I'm not afraid of anyone or anything. I just don't like being held, that was why I was biting him." Seth said calmly only to blink and suddenly see Miko standing right in front of him. Before he can ask her what she wanted she insteantly began questioning him.

"What's your name? Whose your favorite band? What's your favorite color? Whose your guardian? How did you meet the bots? Is it true that your not from around here? Are you also a cybertronian, since Bulkhead made it sound your also not from earth? Do you play any instruments?" Miko questioned him.

Seth stared at her with a dull look on his face as Miko questioned him. He blinked slowly at her. "I'm not a cybertronian, Miko. I'm just like you three, I am human." He said softly.

"He's a gremlin, not a human being." Ratchet hissed under his breath loudly as though to correct him.

"Just ignore him." Seth said shooting Ratchet a glare before he looked back at Miko, Jack and Raf again. "Look, I'm going to be blunt about this. I'm a human, but i'm not from this dimension or from this version of Earth but from another one where cybertronians are common knowelge where everyone on my Earth I guess you could say, knows about these guys if not a hell of a lot more than I currently do. I have no favorite band since I like all forms of music long as it's not Country or Rap music. I personally just like dark colors, so I guess if I had to choose it would have to be Black or a dark crimson red color. My full name is Sethiroth James Grimsley. However be warned that I strongely hate my first name, so I would greatly appreciate it if you would all just call me Seth. Especially if you want to stay on my good side." Seth said.

"So how did you meet the bots, how did you end up here and whose your guardian?" Miko asked him.

"You obviously haven't figured out who my guardian is yet?" Seth asked with a dull exspression on his face.

"No way, you got Optimus for a guardian!?" Miko asked him.

"Not exactly...he's more like the referee to keep the old man and me from offlining each other." Seth said frowning. "Anyways that's my guardian." He added as he pointed over to Ratchet.

"Who are you calling an old man!?" Ratchet snarled as he went to squish his charge only to be quickly grabbed by Optimus.

"Apparently that would be you, doc. Is your audio receptors damaged or something?" Seth asked as he raised a eye brow at him.

"Ratchet." Optimus warned him silently.

"He's an acception to the rules, Optimus." Ratchet hissed.

"Ratchet." Optimus warned him.

"Fine...but you still need that vaccine shoot Optimus!" Ratchet snapped at him as he pulled out the needle. Optimus shook his head as he allowed ratchet to give him the vaccine.

"Ratchet is your guardian, Seth?" Raf asked.

"Unfortunately." Seth and Ratchet both said bitterly as their exspressions appeared to be mirror image of each other's.

"So you gonna tell us how you ended up here or not?" Miko asked looking impatient. Seth sighed and looked up at the ceiling wondering how to exsplain this with out giving away too much information.

"This is going to be a long aft story. Best way to exsplain this, is that my stupid laptop computer ate me and suddenly dropped me into your world." Seth said sighing as he looked back at them

"Your laptop did what?" Raf asked in confusion.

"No offense but how did a laptop eat you and drop you into our world or dimension?" Jack asked him.

"Look i'm not the best with technology or when it comes to it. My laptop wasn't exactly functioning like it should have been when this whole situation happened. There was this malfunction, hard to really exsplain what type of malfunction it was but it somehow created something very similar to that of a groundbridge and than whatever force came from the new groundbridge like portal when it opened up had suddenly yanked me through it's screen and than littery dropped me in a middle of a damn forest. When I regained consciousness I noticed the glowing blue energon on the ground and like an idiot I decided to follow it. I had no idea what else to do and had no idea where the hell I was. So following the glowing blue trail of energon sounded like a good idea to me at the time. That was when I found the old man here, in really bad shape and looked like he was ready to kick the bucket or join the matrix. Because of how I was raised...I couldn't turn a blind eye to any being in trouble. Had no idea if he was an autobot or a decepticon due to how dark it was, and it didn't really matter to me at the time. I was willing to die if it meant helping the being out. Long story short and straight to the point I patched him up the best I could, with what I had with me. He than woke up making me loose my balance were I fell off his soulder and ended up breaking my ribs on my way down where I landed on his leg. That was when we argued with each other and where we suddenly heard the cons getting closer. Like an idiot, I decided to play decoy in hopes of creating a distraction long enough for the other autobots to arrive and to keep the cons from fiding the old man so they could finish him off. Sort of told Starscream that I had something called space rabbies and that it had offlined Ratchet. Besides saying something along the lines that I had just escaped from the other autobots and their base." Seth said only to be intrupted by Ratchet.

"You did what!?" Ratchet half yelled at him with a startled and alarmed exspression.

"Hey, it worked didn't it? Also I was just saying the first thing that came to my head in order to bide some time. So the others could save your aft before the cons could offline you. I really don't care about my own life, so bite me for trying to save your sorry hide." Seth snapped at the shell shocked Ratchet.

"Space rabbies?" The kids asked in a hint of amusement on their faces.

"Yeah...I sort of made my story sound believable and with me covered in so much energon they bought it long enough for the others to arrive. Once the cons retreated after the bots kicked their sorry afts, I took them to where Ratchet was. The rest is a bit blurry from there but I eventually woke up here at the autobot base." Seth said.

"The gremlin passed out from energon poisoning and nearly died...had we not brought him back to base and got agent fowler to send in human medics to help me save his life. Now here he is, being a pest." Ratchet grumbled.

"I swear to Primus and that of Unicron, I will repaint you if you keep calling me a gremlin!" Seth snarled at him.

"Highly unlikely and I would like to see you try it." Ratchet said in a unbelieving.

"You want a gremlin? Than so be it Ratchet, and famous last words, doc." Seth said loudly as he growled at him.

"My name's not doc." Ratchet growled.

"Your right, it's old man." Seth said smirking only for Ratchet's optic to start twitching as his body trembled in rage. His hands were twitching like he was going to grab something and hit seth with it.

"Ratchet." Optimus warned making sure Ratchet wont do anything stupid.

"Optimus...just offline your optics for five-"

"You are not squishing the human." Optimus said bluntly and yet firmly.

"It's a quick painless death."

"Ratchet." Optimus growled in warning.

"Ratchet, wouldn't really squish Seth would he?" Raf asked nervously.

"Given the chance, he would in a heart beat or spark beat." Seth said bluntly with no emotion on his face before he smirked. "Sounds like fun, if you ask me." he added ignoring the horrified and startled looks that Jack, Miko and Raf gave him.

"He's too egar to die and squishing him now would only be pathedic." ratchet growled as Optimus was starring at Seth with wide optics full of deep concern along with the other autobots.

"Told you lot before, I do not care about my own well being. Also weren't you the one, that called me a suicidal gremlin in the first place, doc?" Seth asked smirking before the proxcimity alarm went off. A few minutes latter the elevator opened as Agent Fowler stepped out.

"I got done talking with Jasper High School...everything is all set for Seth to go to school." Fowler said.

"Why do I sense their is a catch somewhere in that statement?" Seth asked as he frowned at the agent.

"The problem is that Seth has to go to school in three days, or else it would be too late for him to be enrolled." Fowler said sighing.

"What the fuck, Fowler? Three days?! Are you bloody insane!?" Seth yelled looking horrified and down right pissed at the information. Jack, Miko and Raf looked a tiny bit startled at Seth's sudden anger. It did not help that Ratchet looked just as pissed off as Seth was about the news.

"What happened to the whole plan to let the gremlin adjust to being in a different dimension and waiting for his injuries to heal?! He's not well enough to leave my care, the energon in his bloodline is still a unknown factor and it could kill him!" Ratchet snarled.

"I'm sorry Ratchet, but if I don't enroll the kid now into the school. The kid would have to wait until next year to be enrolled." Fowler said.

"Sounds good to me." Seth said with a smirk.

"You zip it." Ratchet said as he shot Seth a firm look only for Seth to give him the middle finger as a response as he gave Ratchet a blank stare.

"Ratchet, I told the school that Seth was in a bad accident which caused broken ribs. They have promised me that they wouldn't have Seth do anything to injure himself futher, meaning he wont have to participate in gym class until he is fully healed. It's the best I could do without telling them the truth. Believe me, it wasn't easy to get all that damn paperwork done so fast but I managed it with some help and strings were pulled in order to get it all done so quickly." Fowler said as he watched Ratchet and Seth with a small look of amusement.

Ratchet and Seth both let out sighs of frustion at the same time. However Seth's body was obviously tense and looked ready to strike, despite his face being devoid of emotion except for his eyes that clearly showed he was pissed off. "I'll allow this for now but if Seth shows any sighns of a possible strain on his body. I'm keeping him for a few weeks in medbay, and you'll be the one giving the school the medical note for his absence." Ratchet growled.

"Sounds reasonable." Fowler said.

"Don't I get a say in this?" Seth asked.

"No." Fowler and Ratchet both snapped.

"Should have seen that coming." Seth grumbled bitterly.

"Seth, you never answered if you can play any instruments or not." Miko said looking at him. Seth noticed Miko's guitar and walked over to it.

"May I?" he asked as he gestured to the guitar.

"Sure, let's hear what you got." Miko said smirking.

Seth than picked it up and began playing the first song that came to his mind that he knew by heart. The song was called St Elmo's fire (man in motion) by John Parr. He began playing it flawlessly almost on a professional level. He than began softly singing the words to the song revealing he had a good singing voice. His eyes were closed as he preformed. Raf's glasses looked ready to fall off his face, Jack's eyes were wide in disbelief, The autobots were all startled, Fowler only looked impressed and Miko's exspression was simply priceless as her jaw looked ready to drop to the ground. When seth finished preforming he opened his eyes.

"That was amazing!" Miko yelled.

"Here." He said as he simply handed Miko back her guitar. "Yeah...I can play guitar, and a few other instruments besides sing. However this was a one time thing, since I no longer sing or play." He said as he avoided eye contact as memories of happier times came to him before the harsh reality came back to him making him roughly shove the happy memories back into the darest parts of his mind in hopes to forget them.

"Are you serious!? You have some serious talent!" Miko screamed at him.

"Miko, I'm being as serious as a heart attack and please don't push the issue." he said in deadly tone making Miko take a step back from him from how how deadly he could sound. "Anyways can we please get me something to eat now?" He asked in hopes of changing the subject.

"Here kid, your gonna need this." Fowler said handing him a government issued credit card.

"What's the catch? Since nothing in life is free." Seth asked in a suspicious tone as he took the credit card from him.

"That you don't go crazy with it." Fowler said.

"Okay, so let's go." Seth said grinning.

"Not so fast." Ratchet growled.

"What is it?" Seth asked sighing =.

"You're not going anywhere. Jack, Miko and Raf will get you some food. You're going straight back to medbay!" Ratchet snarled at him. Seth stared at him with dark soul percing glare that mirrored that of Megatron's before it simply soften and seth gave him a bored stare.

"Fine. Whatever you say Doc." Seth said as he than suddenly walked pass him without another word back to medbay. Ratchet blinked at that.

"I thought for sure he would have argued about that." Arcee said in surprise.

"So did I." Rtachet admitted.

"He's not sick is he?" Bulkhead asked.

"He is slowly recovering from energon poisoning, bulkhead. He has a long road of recovery before him. However I am concerned at how he just let the subject drop like he did." Optimus said softly in concern at how the boy just acted.

"Hey Doc, there is sharp objects in medbay right?" Seth suddenly called from medbay as he broke the uneasy silence.

"Yes, why do you want to know!?" Ratchet demanded in confusion.

"No reason...other than to see what color my blood is now, since I now have energon in my blood stream. I was just wonder if my blood was now red, purple, blue or that weird green color that some humans end up having." Seth called back with a evil smirk on his face as he slipped his shoes on. He than silently counted backwards from ten as the words sank into everyone's processors and heads. Almost insteantly all eyes and optics nearly bugged out as their expressions turned priceless. The fast pounding of feet raced towards medbay just as Seth pressed himself against a wall which went unnoticed by the bots as they raced into medbay. He than hissed softly to Miko, Raf and Jack making them stop to turn to face him. They stared at him as Seth placed a finger to lips before he used his thumb to indicate to the exit. It didn't take long for the kids to figure out what was going on.

Miko nearly busted out laughing at this as she approached him as he slung her arm over Seth's shoulder to help smuggle out of of the base. Seth flinched at the contact as Raf and Jack looked unsure about the situation. Bumblebee glanced back to see the kids smuggling Seth out of the base. He silently slipped out of medbay as the others were frantically searching medbay for seth. Even Agent Fowler was trying to help the bots locate Seth. They teens all turned to look at Bumblebee who beeped softly at them as he transformed into vechichle mode.

He than opened his doors to let the kids inside his vechichle form. "You are awesome, Bumblebee." Seth said very softly as he was grinning as he got into the driver seat. Raf and Miko got into the back as Jack sat in the passenger seat as Bumblebee took the kids out of the base. Meanwhile Seth was grinning like a cat who just ate the pet bird and was rewarded with a bowl of cream.

"You weren't really going to hurt yourself were you?" Jack asked Seth. Seth was silent for a few minutes making everyone uneasy.

"Tch...hell no. It was just to create a diversion so I could sneak out of the base. No offense but I can be a rather picky eater, and besides I need to buy some clothes." Seth said smirking.

"Shouldn't we tell the others were Seth is?" Raf asked.

"We should...but Ratchet would only bitch about how I need to be resting and that we are needed back at base. I know my body limitations better than he does." Bumblebee only beeped loudly and maded clicking sounds.

"Uh Raf, translation please? Since I can only make logical guesses to what Bee just said." Seth asked.

"Bee, said Ratchet is only looking after your well being as well as the others since you don't seem to care about it." Raf translated. Seth looked a bit guilty at those words that went unnoticed for the most part but bumblebee had clearly seen it.

"I know...but i'm not use to others worrying about my well being, since I can take care of myself and have been for a long time." Seth said softly as he said nothing more on the subject. He felt bumblebee gently tighten the seat belt like a hug of comfort while being careful of his ribs. Suddenly a loud furious voice came through Bumblebee's comlink making everyone jump and wince from the sheer anger laced in the words. This nearly caused Bumblebee to nearly swerve into on coming taffic had it not been for seth insteantly grabbing the sterring wheel on pure instint to correct the swerve away from the oncoming traffic which had been a fast moving semi truck with some kind of store logo trailer attached to it. Jack, Miko, Raf had screamed at how close they came from being hit by a semi truck. This had all scared the teens and even Bumblebee himself. Bee had also screamed in fear at how close he came of getting into an accident.

"Bumblebee, you slagging glich! You bring that suicidal little pit spawn brat, back to base immediately so I can offline him myself!" Ratchet screamed.

"Told ya he would bitch at us, that damn idiot nearly got us all killed." Seth grumbled softly as he tried to calm the panicing autobot from nearly getting all the kids killed by Semi truck. "Easy bee, we're all okay." he whispeared loud enough only for the autobot to hear him.

"Ratchet, we do not harm humans!" Optimus yelled in the back ground.

"You're a dead man."Miko said softly with wide eyes that still had fear in them from the near death exsperence.

"Yeah...something tells me i'm not the only one." Seth stated calmly.

"Along with the other children and you Bumblbee, for smuggling him out of the base!" Ratchet added.

"Hey, I was right." Seth said with a small grin.

"We're dead." Jack groaned sinking into the seat.

"What are you talking about? Ratchet loves you guys, me on the other hand he would rather drop me off a cliff into a pit of starving hyeenas or something." Seth said.

Bumblebee whined and beeped at him. "Bee's right...Ratchet isn't that harsh and Optimus wont let him do that nor would the others." Raf said calmly.

"Does this mean we have to go back to base and face Ratchet's wrath?" Miko asked.

"Since we came this far, we might as well finish what we set out to do. Now lets get some food and do a tiny bit of shopping." Seth said calmly.

"He has a point." Jack said.

"Should we tell the others about nearly ending up in an accident?" Miko asked.

"No need to freak them out, so let's just keep that to our selves." Seth said. Bumblebee agreed with Seth's words and turned off his comlink to be on the safe side.

Back at the autobot base Optimus, Arcee, Agent Fowler and Bulkhead very slowly backed out of medbay as Ratchet loudly muttered what he would do once he got his servo's on his charge, besides wielding Bumblebee to the base ceiling as he forces the kids to get him down.


To Be Continued...
