Previously on Transformers Prime: Jack's sister
"It's a trap - A Scraplet trap."
Present
"Uh, an empty Scraplet trap." Bulkhead say nervously.
"Most likely ejected into space eons ago, only to wind up in the arctic, where the temperature kept them in stasis." Ratchet hypothesis, continuing to look in the trap.
"Until we brought the thaw." Jack say, walking up to them.
"Now they're wide awake and ready to brunch." Miko exclaims, holding an axe.
"So,How many are we talking about?" Raf asks, holding the crowbar.
"Thousands. And the power malfunctions and ground bridge damage are sure signs that their infestation is well underway." Ratchet answers shaking his head.
"We doomed." Rosa says, holding onto Ratchet.
AT THE ARCTIC
Optimus is climbing down a humongous glacier, probably 50X his size. His Autobot insignia starts beeping, and glowing blue.
"Arcee, what's your status?" Optimus coms Arcee.
"My sensor's going off. Guess we should call for pickup before things get chilly." Arcee suggests.
"Optimus to base, core temperature readings have reached the blue zone. Prepare to activate ground bridge." Optimus tries to Com base, only to hear static.
MEANWHILE AT BASE
Ratchet is trying to do the same thing, as Optimus is doing. Though unlike Optimus, Ratchet has a worried cybertronian disguised as a human sparkling on his shoulder
"Ratchet to Optimus, do you read me? We have a situation."Ratchet calls, only for the computers to go staticy.
"The Scraplets have gotten into the com-link system!" Ratchet bangs his fist onto the keypad, making Rosa jump.
"If we don't eradicate these creatures immediately, they will reduce the entire base to a scrap heap!" Ratchet says angrily turning around.
"I say we bug out of here and let them keep it!" Bulkhead says, wanting to get away from the metal eating monsters.
"I agree!" Bee beeps, nodding.
"Evacuation is not an option. If we don't get the ground bridge back online stat, Optimus and Arcee will perish." Ratchet looks calm, but serious.
"Oppy, and bluey not make it home?!" Rosa ask, ready to cry at the thought of never seeing her guardian and friend again.
"They Will?" Jack asks Ratchet with concern. Miko storms up to Bulkhead.
"Bulkhead, you never run!" Miko says.
"Miko, you haven't seen a swarm of these things devour a bot.I have. They pick you apart from the inside out, going for the small, juicy bits first,Fuse by fuse, circuit by circuit, till there's nothing left, and I mean nothing, Not even your optics." Bulkhead tells them scared out of his wits.
"You have to let us help." Jack says.
"Us can help!." Rosa nods.
"We're not made of metal. Well,for the most part." Raf says, looking at Rosa, who is still on Ratchet's shoulder.
"The Scraplets can't hurt us." Miko finishes.
"Typically, I find your fleshiness to be your least engaging quality,But it would appear to provide an advantage under these extremes." Ratchet concludes.
"Okay, we pair off,One bot, one human.I'll watch your back while you repair the ground bridge." Jack says.
"And we go on a bug hunt." Miko smiles looking at Bee and Bulkhead.
"Oh, boy./Oh no." Bee and Bulk shiver at the thought.
"And me going wit Bulky!" Rosa says.
"No, you should stay here Rosa. You are my responsibility." Ratchet tells her.
"But Bulky need more pwotection! He...Bigger den you." Rosa points out.
Ratchet see's her logic. Bulkhead was...bigger then him, and that Bulkhead would need the protection, hunting for the monsters, while he stayed to fix the groundbridge.
"Fine, You can go. But no transforming." Ratchet orders.
"Me not know how to!" Rosa points out, as they all leave to do their tasks.
LETS CHECK IN WITH PRIME AND CEE
Optimus and Arcee are trudging through the blizzard, in the antarctic, with no way home. (A/N Sucks for them XD ...i'm kidding they're some of my favorites)
"Optimus to base, do you read?" Optimus ask for the 100th time. Arcee falls, and Optimus helps her up.
"Are you sure a nice long drive wouldn't help? I hear Miami's beautiful this time of year." Arcee says, trying to lighten the mood.
"The nearest temperate climate is too distant,Arcee. Attempting to reach it would expend too much energy and hasten the freezing process. When Ratchet sends for us,And he will,Our best option would be to seek shelter and insulate ourselves." Optimus says, assuring her, that he believes Ratchet will open a Groundbridge.
TO THE MONSTER HUNTING!
Bulkhead is looking around, with his cannon out.
"We get to be your bodyguard for once! How cool is that?!" Miko asks.
"Raf found the first one here, right?" Bulkhead screams as the lights go out for a bit, and Rosa clings toMiko's leg, when she bumps into her in the dark.
"Did you just scream like a little girl?" Miko asks, looking at him with a look as if she's ready to laugh.
"No! Maybe...can we talk about this later?" Bulkhead asks, embarrassed.
Miko, Rosa and Bulkhead turn the corner. While walking down the hallway, Bulkhead hears metal on metal, moving passed him. Freaking him out even more.
"You be fine wit us Bulky! We pwotect you!" Rosa tells him, trying to make him less...jumpy.
"Take 'er easy, Bulkhead. Just stay Focused. Everything's gonna be..." Miko gets cut off by Bulkhead hearing the sound again, and shooting the ceiling left and right. When he shoots the middle he screams once more like a little girl, as cables fall on him, thinking them to be scraplets.
"Aah! Look out! Aaaah!" Bulkhead screams trying to hit them off him. Rosa and Miko turn around, the sight causing Rosa to giggle, and Miko to sigh disappointedly.
"Okay,wish I hadn't seen that. Bulkhead, you're fine. It's just a bunch of cables." Miko assures him, swinging her wrench (A/N DONT GIVE IT TO DOC!) somewhat.
" .Cables." Bulkhead calms down, seeing that they are only cables. He pulls one down, causing a whole bunch of Scraplets to fall on him.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH."
WITH BE AND RAF
Bumblebee and Raf cautiously looks around the corner, before stepping into the open.
"All clear." Bumblebee beeps, lowering his weapon, though not deactivating it.
"Don't these things ever stop eating?" Raf asks, as they walk over to a fan...a giant fan.
"No!" Bee tells him. Bumblebee nudges Raf to move over with his finger, as he rips off the Fans covering.
They put up their weapons expecting a ton of Scraplets to be there. They don't find any, and hears a popcorn popping sound. Bumblebee and Raf look over to a vent on the floor, scared, as Scraplets start coming out of it.
MAIN ROOM
"How's it going over there?" Jack asks walking back and forth.
"I've repaired the damaged conductors and rerouted the central conduits, but the ground bridge still won't receive power!" Ratchet punches the ground with frustration. Jack hears Scraplets and looks around, spotting them near a vent. They look at him, then Ratchet. And they start...
"They fly?! You never said they could fly! Ratchet!" Jack says freaking out, whacking at the Scraplets. Ratchet falls, and starts to get eaten, freaking out.
"Jack,Jack, The fire extinguisher!" Ratchet says, falling back down after a failed attempt to get up.
Jack grabs the fire extinguisher and starts freezing the Scraplets. After the Scraplets start falling off, Ratchet turns over onto his hands and knees in a attempt to stand up. Bulkhead, Miko,Bumblebee, Raf, and Rosa come running in.
"Ratchet, get the patch kit! we're leaking energon like,Whoa!" Bulkhead says seeing the many scraplets flying around, the Scraplets spots Bee and Bulk, going after them. Bumblebee starts shooting at them.
"Eat this!" Bulkhead says hitting them with his wrecking ball...only for them to start to EAT the wrecking ball literally.
ANTARCTICA
Optimus and Arcee where sitting down.
"Arcee,wake up." Optimus orders, seeing her fall asleep.
"Just resting my eyes." Arcee rubs her eyes.
"The longer we remain alert, the longer we remain alive." Optimus informs her looking around.
"What do you suggest? Wait! How about a game? Let's play "who screwed things up back at base?" Arcee suggest.
"Our predicament could be the result of a simple malfunction." Optimus suggest.
"Caused by Bulkhead. Let's see, no Com-Link, Maybe even no power. The big lug probably tripped over a cord. He's never been too graceful. Remeber when we first arrived on earth and Bulkhead walked into those power lines? Who knew he could dance like that?" Arcee smiles, remembering the happy times.
"Bulkhead may be...Too large for this world, but his inner strength is without bounds. One should not be measured by size alone." Optimus looks away from Arcee.
BASE
Rosa, Raf, Jack, and Miko are finishing freezing and smashing the Scraplet scouts. Rosa having a Baseball bat to beat them with.
"We get them all?" Jack asks, looking around. They hear more Scraplets.
"Hardly, these were just scouts." Ratchet groans.
"Greeeaat, we're dead!" Bee groans out, letting his head fall back down.
"So, the rest of them know we're in here?" Bulkhead guesses.
"And if we allow ourselves to become their next meal, Optimus and Arcee will never make it must get the ground bridge operational." Ratchet declares, with slight growl.
"Then we can use it to send the Scraplets anywhere on earth." Raf concludes.
"Why not back to the arctic? We already know they don't do cold." Jack says holding up the fire extinguisher.
"Sweet! One-stop shopping." Miko exclaims hitting the Wrench with her hand.
"Given the body mass of the Scraplets, sub-zero temperature should freeze them on contact. So think, Ratchet think! If the ground bridge is still down, there must be a breach in the energon fuel line." Ratchet has sorta a brain-blast moment, figuring out what the problem is.
"Yay! Watchet figuwed out da pwoblem!" Rosa cheers, hitting a Scraplet that slightly moved, with her bat.
"We have to fix it." Bee beeps, falling back down.
"If we weren't breaching, one of us could get back over there and fix it." Bulkhead growls.
"Where can we find it?" Jack asks, walking up to them.
"And how do we fix it?" Raf asks, coming up behind Rosa.
ENERGON LINE
The kids are lightly stepping, making sure not to touch a Scraplet.
"Remember, we're okay. we're not metal. There's the breach! We have to work fast." Jack says, seeing a puddle of the blue liquid.
MAINROOM
"So, if we get,When we get the ground bridge open, do we send the creepy-crawlies out or bring our bots in?" Bulkhead asks getting tired.
"Optimus and Arcee will be fresh meat if we bring them in first, the Scraplets will have no reason to leave. we'll need bait." Ratchet says, his eyes half open. Rosa holds his finger in comfort, causing him to smile at her.
"Where are we gonna get bait?! The Scraplets already helped themselves to everything in here!" Bulkhead exclaims.
ENERGON LINE
Jack just finished welding the pipe shut, when a whole bunch of Scraplets fly past them.
"They're getting ready to feed!" Raf yells.
MAINROOM
Rosa and the three Autobots watch as Scraplets break a vent and start swarming around. Rosa gets scared, triggering her transformation to Spitfire. Ratchet quickly pulls her behind him, hiding her from the Scraplets.
ANTARCTICA
"You know the worst part? After battling 'cons all these years - Getting smacked down, shot at, blown up - This is how our lights go out?" Arcee says sadly. (A/N They dont have the best luck do they?! XD)
"Arcee, this may not be the finish that we had planned, but if this is indeed the end, if we are to become one with the allspark." Optimus turns over his hand, feeling Arcee moving her hand to his, grasping hers.
"It's been an honor serving with you, Optimus prime." Arcee weakly admits, looking up with a small smile.
BASE
Jack,Miko,and Raf run out into the mainroom.
"Ratchet, all systems go! Fire it up!" Jack yells, seeing the Scraplets. Ratchet stands up.
"Ground bridge Activated." Only to fall forward, when pushing the lever down.
ANTARCTICA
The Groundbridge opens, and Optimus looks in hope.
BASE
Spitfire watches as Bulkhead passes out. She looks up at the Scraplets and then the ground bridge...before doing the stupidest thing she could do! She gets out of her hiding place near Ratchet before screaming...
"HEY SCWAPLETS! YOU CAN'T CATCH ME!" Spitfire yells, grabbing all the Scraplets attention.
"Spitfire...no!" Ratchet weakly protest.
The Scraplets start going after Spitfire, who in turn, turns around and speeds into the groundbridge, the Scraplets following.
ANTARCTICA
Optimus and Arcee are making their way to the groundbridge, only to stop when they see Spitfire, of all bots, run through it.
"DOWN OPPY! DOWN!" Spitfire, who now has some Scraplets eating her,yells to him and Arcee.
Spitfire forwards rolls into the snow as a whole bunch of Scraplets fly through the groundbridge, flying straight at Optimus and Arcee. Optimus stands in front of Arcee, trying to take the brunt of the attack. The scraplets freeze mid air and bounces of Optimus and Arcee, possibly denting their Armor. They look at Spitfire, who is brushing the Scraplets off of herself.
"Uhhh...Surpwise!" Spitfire says, running over to them. They smile at her, and all walk into base together.
BASE
The base is all nice and calm now, though littered with Scraplet corpses.
"Report bio-circuitry status." Ratchet request from Jack.
"Levels are rising." Jack says, looking onto the laptop he is using.
"Excellent." Ratchet nods.
"Rafael, keep a close watch on Bumblebee's electro-pulse , Miko, check Bulkhead's interface patch." Ratchet orders.
"It's steady." Raf says, looking at his laptop.
"Looking good." Miko gives a thumbs up
"Perhaps you should get some rest yourself, old friend, you saved quite a few lives today." Optimus praises.
"It Wasn't all my doing. We're just fortunate that this infestation happened On a Saturday." Ratchet smiles lightly.
"Our human friends may be small, but they are strong." Optimus tells him, smiling down at Spitfire, who is sitting between them, getting the Scraplet bites checked out. They hear Miko scream.
"Scraplet?!" Jack ask, holding a pipe, Raf holding a crowbar, and Spitfire has her blaster transformed, out of fright.
"Spider! Is it on me?! Aah! Get off!" Miko runs out, seemingly dancing weirdly, to get the spider off.
"Did she just scream like a little girl?" Bulkhead asks as they watch her run.
"She is girl Bulky, what's your excuse?" Spitfire shoots back in Mikos defense, causing Jack,Raf,Ratchet and Optimus to chuckle. Bulkhead backs down, not having a comeback.
"Ratchet, did something else happen to day?" Optimus asks looking at Spitfires blasters.
"Uh..yes...about that..." Ratchet nervously chuckles, and explains it to Optimus.
