After a Few with the events that Happened with bulkhead being on the Nemesis, the Insecticons, Starscream clones and the ship coming life.
Everyone has gathered around Optimus as he was talking."If we are to have any hope of recovering the Iacon relics before the Decepticons do, we must divide our resources."
"But Optimus, when it comes to numbers, we're already at a great disadvantage." Ratchet objected.
"Under the circumstances, swiftness of action is paramount. This is one race that we absolutely cannot afford to lose."
Later...
"Hm... it appears the decepticons have retreated from Manhattan." Ratchet had been observing the monitors relentlessly for quite some time.
"They just... left?" Arcee was confused.
"It is most likely Megatron has made course for the second set of coordinates." Optimus explained the situation. "Having dispatched a team to get to it."
"But how are they going to search for it undetected?"
"Subway tunnels." Jack explained. "New York is a packed place. Let me go to be their cover face."
"I wanna go to!" Miko jumped up a bit. "I mean, I can help! I'm pretty good at coming up with cover up stories."
Grimlock chuckled a bit at this, but then turned to Optimus."I might be able to fit in the tunnels in Dino mode and I think me and Arcee can go and get the relic Optimus." Said Grimlock
"If you believe that you can assist then you may go, Grimlock." Optimus gave the Dinobot a nod of approval before turning to Jack and Miko.. "Jack, Miko- I believe agent Fowler is our best human candidate."
"I shoved a whole bag of jelly beans up my-"
"Nevermind. You two may go."
"Stay safe Miko and stay out of trouble." Said Bulkhead who is a bit worried about her and what she might do on this mission.
Ratchet opens the groundbridge directly to The big apple known as New York City." Remain vigilant. I know that will be easy for you arcee, but Grimlock on the other hand, needs to work on it." Ratchet Said to her.
Grimlock transforms and then grabs miko and puts her on his neck area." You ready little buddy?"
"Let's do this!" Miko was excited, all going through the groundbridge to reach New York.
In New York City...
"Woah..." Arcee was in awe. "It looks like Cybertron."
"You should see what it looks like at night!"
"Woah. This place kinda reminds of cybertron as well, But without the humans." Said Grimlock as he looks at all the buildings.
"Hey check it out!" Miko pointed at a tunnel entrance.
They made their way down.
Grimlock keeps his head down so his head doesn't hit the top of the tunnel. They keep going deeper and after awhile,His foot almost touches the third rail.
"Wow, careful Grimlock!" Jack stopped him. "Those rails have a lot of electricity. One touch..."
"And zap!" Miko finished his sentence for him. "You're fried like KFG."
"KFG?" Jack looked at her in confusion.
"Yeah! Kentucky Fried Grimlock!"
Grimlock steps away from it." That would probably hurt a lot." He said as he keeps walking. As they all keep walking The sound of drilling can be heard in the distance in the tunnel.
Miko ran ahead to check it out, Jack going after her.
Grimlock looks through the hallway the kids went through and sighs." It's times like this when I realize how big I am." He said to Arcee
Arcee sighed and then smiles a bit."You really should've thought about that before volunteering to go through the tunnels."
The two went back to tracking the signal, finally arriving to where the cons were digging up the relic.
"Well? Let me see it already!" KO pushed the Vehicon out the way.It was an artifact, well more of a container for the rare artifact inside it to keep it safe since it's probably not big.
Grimlock looks at Arcee." Time to rumble." He said with a Grin. He's been ready for a fight all day.
What neither of them know is that and Insecticon is on the ceiling near them. It then jumps down to attack them.
Grimlock hits the bug with his tail, sending it back." I'll deal with the bug!" He said
The insecticon shrieked at Grimlock, charging at him and grabbed him by the shoulders, smashing him into the wall as Arcee went to retrieve the relic.
It was a bit stuck in the architect, unable to get it out.
Grimlock roars at it as he bites down on its arm and tears it off. He then punches him, sending him into a wall.
Knockout comes from behind her and shocks her." A little shock and awe always works." Knockout said as he does all he can to get the container out of the architect.
Arcee was knocked out by Knockout, the relic finally being retrieved by Knockout.
Miko and Jack were speeding on their little cart at top speed.
Grimlock tore the head off the bug and then dropped it. He then turns and sees Knockout with the relic, about to use it on Arcee. He roars and was about to charge at him, but then a cart come speeding in and hits knockout, knocking him to the side.
"Mole people!" Said Vohgal as the cart goes off, away from the action.
Grimlock walks over to Arcee and helps her up." You alright?" He asked
"Yeah- I'm fine... what happened?" She asked, wondering where KO went, looking around.
Grimlock noticed that he's gone and growls a bit." He left while I was dealing with the bug. But before that he got hit by a cart the kids were on." Grimlock said.
"I'll go get Jack and Miko. You handle Knockout." Said Arcee as she runs off and then transforms.
Grimlock turns and then starts running after Knockout.
Knockout was speeding away, seeing the Dinobot in his side mirrors. "Scrap!"
He was gaining quickly.
Grimlock roars as he keeps running. He eventually gets close enough and hits him with his head hard. He then bites down on him and then throws him.
"Grah!" Knockout was flung across the rail roads, transforming in mid air and dropping the relic.
The cart was coming back around again for round two.Grimlock walks over to the artifact and accidentally activated it. He didn't know what it was doing, but he was about to find out.
The cart ran past through him, completely wrecking Knockout.
"Oh hey we stopped!" Miko beamed :3
"No... no!!!" KO was covered in dust and dirt and scratches, transforming and driving away while sobbing. "Don't look at me! I'm hideous!" He left a tire behind.
Grimlock watched as he left, but then looks at the Artifact." Did this made me phase through that cart?"
"Pretty much." Arcee put a hand through him.
"Cool." He said with a grin as he starts messing around with it.
Hours after everyone had completed there task.
Arcee,Grimlock, Miko, and Jack are the last of the group to be brought back. Grimlock was playing music for Miko." This rocks!" Said Miko who was rocking out on Grims neck when suddenly The music suddenly stops." Why'd you do tha-Bulkhead?!" Miko sees bulkhead on the ground. Grimlock quickly lets her down and then transforms back to robot mode.
Ratchet was shocking Bulkhead multiple times, trying to get him back online.
"Bulkhead- please!" Miko begged. "What happened!?"
"He's been exposed to too much toxic waste- he's going through a complete system failure... help me get him to the medical bay- now!"
Grimlock quickly picks bulkhead and gets him over to the medical bay quickly." You ain't dying on us today Bulkhead." He said to him as he puts him on the table.
"Wh-who did this...!?" Miko cried out.
"Some insecticon named Bombshell... look kid, it's not your fault." Fowler said to her.
"Yeah... I know that now." There was something underlying in her voice, going over to check on Bulkhead.
"How long till Bulkhead will be up on his feet and fighting cons again? Days? Weeks?" Grimlock asked. Ratchet wasn't answering him which was very worrying.
"I...I don't know." Ratchet finally said as he keeps monitoring Bulkhead.
"Wheeljack' on his way." Arcee said as she typed on the computer.
Miko making her way to the roof top to get some alone time.
Later...
"Bulkhead's stable, but I had to induce stasis." Ratchet explained, a certain someone rolling in. Everyone turns to see who it is.
It was Wheeljack. He transforms and walks over to the group surrounding Bulkhead." What's the damage Doc?" He asked. He was getting straight to the point.
"He's suffered severe trauma to his direct nervous system... the toxic exposure has caused system wide shut down. I can't even begin to operate until Bulkhead gains some strength."
Wheeljack looks at Optimus." You gonna tell me who did this?" He asked.
"I believe it is best to focus on Bulkhead's recovery than revenge..."
"Of course you do..." He then starts to walk away, but then Grimlock stopped him." Out of my way Grim." He said.
"Your not going...Not without me. Your gonna need back up." Grimlock said as he smashed his fists together.
Wheeljack thinks for a moment and then nods." Alright, you can come along. But when we catch the con that did this, I'm ending him." He said as he transforms and drives off.
Grimlock turns to the others." Someone has to watch his back and I'll be back soon Arcee." Said Grim as he starts walking away.
"Wait." Arcee walks over to him.
"What is it?" He asked her as he lowers his head down to her level.
Arcee gives him a quick kiss." Stay safe out there." She said with a smile.
"I always do." Grimlock said as he jogs after Wheeljack.
Outside...
They two get into Wheeljack's ship...Something was watching them- they weren't alone.The both turn around and see that it's only miko." Miko? What are you doing here little buddy?" Asked Grimlock as he picks her up and puts her on his shoulder.
"I know who took out Bulkhead... but you have to take me along." She gave them a serious look.
"I think we should let her come with. She needs this." Said Grimlock as he looks at wheeljack for his answer.
Wheeljack thinks for a bit and then nods." Okay kid." He said
Later...
They were outside of the cave, a vehicon guard pacing back and fourth in front of the entrance.
"So how should we do this? The fun way or the boring way?" Asked Grimlock as he stares at the cave entrance with a grin.
"Second one first big guy." He then looks at miko." I need you to go and investigate. Me and Grim will get spotted if we do it."
"Got you. Sneaky style..." She grinned, making her way into the cavern, using her phone to give them a visual. "Operation: Solid Snake."
Later in the cave...
"Several on the bottom floor, a couple keeping a hawk eyes view from the top... you guys there?"
There was an explosion. Wheeljack came in first and sliced a con down.
Grimlock jumps down and lands near the drill. He picks it up and tosses it at three cons, crushing them.
"What now...?" Miko asked, not noticing that her hair was on fire.
"Uh Miko,Your on fire."Said Grimlock as he grabs the last two cons and hit them together.
"Oh, thank you! I haven't done much- but I'm happy to contribute."
"Uh kid, I think he's talking about your hair." Said Wheeljack as he puts his swords away.
"Huh?" She realized she was literally on fire and began running around, rolling around in the dirt to put it out. "OH GOD!"
Later...
It was finally out, Miko having found a comm hub they could use to contact the Nemesis.
On the Nemesis...
Breakdown as buffering out all the dents and scratches on knockout." Tell me again how this happened?" He asked Knockout
"The autobot's giant dog was chasing me down- threw me across the dirt and stole the relic that *I* found." He scoffed, resting his helm onto his servo with a sigh and a pout.
Breakdown soon finished."Well I wish I was there. I could have given him a beaten. Oh and I'm finally done with b-"There was the sound of blasts going off outside of the door.
They both walk out and see a Insecticon charging them both. They hold onto each other and then scream as it hits them.
Later...
They both go to Megatron to complain when suddenly, he was getting a call from one of his mining groups." What is it?" Asked Megatron. Today couldn't have possibly get worse.
"Nice operation you got Megatron, though you might say it's under new management." Wheeljack said in the hammerjack, his ship. He is in a call with megatron.
"What do you want, Autobot...?" Megatron snarled.
"I want the con who almost killed Bulkhead." Said wheeljack.
"Hand him over or else." Said Grimlock from his seat.
Wheeljack sends the coordinates to location for them to meet." Tell your buddy bombshell he better be ready to be beaten to death with his own hands." Said Wheejack.
On the nemesis...
Megatron hung up, not saying wether Bombshell was going to be there to not. He turns to Bombshell in anger." You said you killed Bulkhead!"
"The Autobots are Lying! There's no way he could have survived!" Said a scared Bombshell.
"You had better fix or get wheeljack and grimlocks spark or I will have yours!" Megatron then walks away.
Bombshell is screwed if he can't do this. Him and a few other Insecticons leave the ship and head off to the location of
Later...
Grimlock looks at miko." You should rest. It might be awhile till the con shows up." Said Grimlock
She nods and then was about to fall asleep, but heard someone yelling.
Bombshell was waiting outside, prowling around. "Come out and face me, Autobot!!!"
"Miko, stay in the ship while me and grim end this." He said as he gets up and heads to the door.
Grimlock gets up and follows him out.
Bombshell shrieked as he charged at them, about to tackle Grimlock but switched directions in that second to slam Wheeljack into the floor.
Grimlock was about to help him, but then two Insecticons show up and all charge at him. He then charges to them. They all hit and stand there, trying to push the other. Grimlock punched one in the face and then grabs it arm and tears it off. He then rams the arm through its spark, killing it. He then turns to the other one.
Before Wheeljack could get snuffed, Miko had activated the rocket launchers, Destroying Bombshell.
"Grimlock- we have to get Wheeljack out of here now!"
Grimlock nods as he kicks the Insecticon down, knocking him out since he didn't have time to end him. He runs over to Wheeljack and picks him up and then runs to the hammer Jack.
"Is Wheeljack going to be okay...?"
He was injured but it was nothing serious. Grimlock nods." He's a wrecker and they don't go down so easily." Said Grimlock as he pats her on the head very gently.
Miko smiled when he pet her but then realized something. "Wheeljack... can I... ask you something very important...?"
She seemed really shy about asking this.
Wheeljack groans a bit from the pain as he looks at her." Sure kid, what is it?" He asked her.
"WHY THE SCRAP DID YOU NOT USE THE SHIP'S ROCKETS IN THE FIRST PLACE!?!?" That was a good question.
"It wouldn't be as fun if I used them." He said with a smile and then chuckled a bit but then groans in pain from chuckling.
"Uh guys, we might wanna get out of here." Said Grimlock as he looks out of the window in the ship. A whole bunch of Insecticons were flying towards them.
Wheeljack quickly starts the ship back up and then flys them out of there, but the bugs followed them as they fire at them.
"Can't you just blast them all?!" Asked Miko
"I don't have enough fire power take them all out." Said Wheeljack as he keeps avoiding the blasts.
Grimlock spots a crate full of grenades." How about these?"
Wheeljack smiles." Great idea grim!" he puts auto pilot on and then picks up the crate and heads up to the the roof of the ship. He was about to toss one, but then decided to throw them all. He shoots the crate and they all go off, killing all the bugs. He then goes back down to his seat and looks at miko." Welcome to the wreckers kid." Said Wheeljack.
Miko sits down and holds her knees to her face." Then how come I don't feel any different?" She asked in a sad tone.
Later...
The Autobots heard the sound of metal scraping the ground. They turn and see Wheeljack limping with miko at his side. Grimlock walks in behind them with a few scratches, other than that, he's fine." Were back." Said Grimlock. He then walks over to Arcee and then kisses her.
"Did you miss me?" He asked with a small grin.
Arcee gives him a peck on the cheek and then nods. She then looks at miko and walks over to her and kneels down." Miko, are you alright?"
"She's fine, the kids a pro." Said Wheeljack.
Arcee looks and glares at him." I wasn't asking talking to you." She said.
Miko looks at Ratchet." How is he?" She asked. She's hoping for any good news.
"He will recover, but he might never be fully functional ever again..." Ratchet said.
Miko cry's a bit and runs straight to Bulkhead. Ratchet was about to stop her, but prime stopped him. Miko needs this.
Miko holds onto bulkhead as she cries...
