Azura hummed as she continued working on her picture. She was carefully colouring into a sketch she had drawn of an imagination of what she'd look like as a celestial dragon. She knew she already painted an image, but she had wanted to work on another picture. Jack was also sketching something. With some help from her, Jack quickly became good at art. He was actually currently sketching a picture of a bald eagle. He had chosen this as his art project for school too, and Azura was liking what he was drawing. Raf was not drawing, but he was sitting nearby finishing up some homework.

"You have one more year of school after this year, don't you, Jack?" Azura asked curiously, looking up from her canvas over at the boy with a curious expression. "Are you feeling kind of nervous now that you are getting closer to the last year of high school? And looming need to go to college?"

Jack seemed surprised by the question, though he did stop to think on it. "Yeah...I guess it will be my last year. But I haven't really thought much of it, since meeting the autobots has kind of distracted me with what I might want for the future...though I might do something with the military..." The boy seemed a bit uncertain about the future, and that was understandable. "But I really don't know yet. I guess I have to wait and see how things progress."

"That's fair. I wish I got to finish it. But I guess I can probably try and help you. I still remember a lot of the lessons taught from the short time I was there, you will probably benefit from it." Jack seemed to be a little suspicious by that. "It isn't cheating, since I'm not going to school anymore, Jack."

"True..." Jack smiled and shrugged as he knee that he was worried for nothing. "I guess you're right...I'm worried about nothing. I would definitely appreciate the help. Just like the help you have given me for art and help me get a higher grade for art class." He looked over at Raf who was staring at his homework with a frown. "Hey Raf, maybe you should have Azura help you with getting better at art too."

"Nah, sorry. But I actually don't think I will need it. I don't do art class, so I'm good." The boy looked at Azura with an apologetic expression. "I hope you don't mind, Azura. I do enjoy art for fun, but I prefer to be building someone or working on a code on the computer, if I am honest."

"I don't mind at all. And we won't bother you with your homework too much either." Azura looked at Jack's picture, smiling as she saw he was working on the feathers. "You have a really good talent for art, Jack. You only needed a small amount of help from me, and you could easily be a pro now as well."

Jack chuckled softly and shrugged. "Well, I learned from the best." He grinned at her and she rolled her optics at him. "At least I don't need to hand this in until the end of the week. So I don't need to finish the whole thing today. But at least, unlike Miko, I am ahead on my homework."

"I am not sure we should really be talking mean about her while she's not here, Jack," Rafael said softly with a slightly guilty expression. "I know Miko is lazy on her homework, and she's distracted with the autobots. But we shouldn't talk bad about her. Besides, Miko had a history report, and it's not exactly everyone's favorite subject. So I understand why she didn't do it like she's supposed to."

"Even so, not liking a subject is not a good enough reason to slack off," Azura responded to the boy. "I honestly hated science, believe it or not, it is my least favorite subject. It still is, if I am honest. Especially physics. I don't mine biology and oceanography, because that's a subject about natural things. But physics and chemistry...nope."

Jack chuckled softly as he listened to her. "I hope Ratchet does not find that out. He will be upset that you don't like the subject. I imagine that the Cybertronian physics are much harder than human physics."

Azura nodded in agreement. She knew that Ratchet already warned her that Cybertronian math and science would be harder to learn than what she's learned so far. And she honestly was not really looking forward to that. She at least likely had a few hundred years before she would officially start Cybertronian school. Though she did wonder if they had a kindergarten for sparklings too, though she wasn't sure.

Azura and Jack continue on their drawings while Raf finished off his homework. They stop after fifteen minutes to have a break, and they began to discuss what they should do next. They figured they should play a video game, but they also thought about watching a movie. Rafael wanted to wait for Miko, but her detention would not be up for a while, so they would have to wait.

"By the way, what ice cream do you want me to get for this weekend?" Jack asked Azura curiously, making her flinch a little. "Chocolate? Vanilla? Neapolitan? Chocolate chip?"

"Uhhh..."

"Jack..." Optimus interrupts Azura gently, making her look away with a guilty expression. He looked at Optimus when he was addressed. "I am afraid Azura will not be having ice cream this weekend." The boy widened his eyes in surprise. "It is a consequence for her recent actions. You can bring her ice cream next weekend, but she will go without it this weekend."

Rafael looked at Azura curiously. "What did you do that made Optimus deny you ice cream?"

Azura was about to answer when Optimus spoke up first. "The circumstance as to why she is being disciplined for her actions is not necessary to speak about. This is between her and myself, Rafael. Please refrain from digging further into the information. Azura needs to simply learn from her mistake."

Jack and Rafael were both curious as to why Azura was in trouble, but they guessed that it was bad enough that she could not get a treat this week. They all saw the guilty expression on her face, and they guessed that whatever it was, it made Optimus angry. So they agreed to not poke any further into what had happened. They did not wish to upset Optimus either.

Azura, Jack and Raf look towards the tunnel in surprise when they hear Bulkhead's engine rolling into the base. They did not think that Miko's detention was over already. She should at least have another hour to go before she could return to base. But maybe detention ended early or Miko had done something to get out of it early. Either way, they were still surprised and suspicious about it.

Azura and Jack walk over to the railing as they were curious about it. "Ugh! You sound like my parents!" Miko complained as she jumped out of the vehicle before Bulkhead transformed.

"Um...aren't they Japanese?" Bulkhead asked, making Azura almost face palm herself as that was a rather silly response.

Miko just frowned and turned to walk away from Bulkhead. "They may speak a different language, but you say the same thing."

"Because we want the best for you," Bulkhead argued gently as he gave the girl a sympathetic expression. He lowered himself onto one knee to speak further about it. "And that means making sure you go to school, not jail."

Jack smirked in amusement upon hearing what Bulkhead said. "Uh oh, what'd you do?"

"Look, Miko..." Miko looked up at Bulkhead after glaring at Jack for his comment. "Before I became a warrior, I was a labourer, construction. I can build stuff, I fan break stuff, and that's it."

Miko seemed intrigued by his occupation and smirked at him. "I love breaking stuff!" She punched her fist into her palm to show she was serious. "I wanna be just like you, Bulk."

Bulkhead didn't seem too impressed by Miko's response as he groaned softly. "Why would you want to be like me when you could be a medic, like Ratchet?"

Azura chuckled softly. She knew that Miko might change her mind in the future on what she wants to do. The girl clearly was not old enough to really think seriously about her future, but that was okay. Azura was lucky since she had many years to think about that. But she honestly wanted to just be a guardian of Cybertron. That was her goal. She didn't want to be a leader, as she felt that role was for her father or any future Primes. But a guardian suited her. Just as the dragon before her was a guardian.

"I'm detecting a fresh energon pulse," Ratchet announced suddenly, getting everyone's attention. "From the nation called Greece. It appears the energon is located in an ancient city, quite historic I believe."

"Greece?!" Azura exclaimed with an excited gasp. "Ooh...I've always wanted to see Greece." She stared at the screen for a moment before she knew it might be a bad idea to ask. "If only I looked human still..."

"Ancient Greece, huh?" Bulkhead seemed to be intrigued by that fact as he smiled. "Oh, field trip!"

Miko gasped with a smile. "You're taking me with you?" Bulkhead nodded. "Awesome!"

"Can I come too?" Azura asked, making Optimus look at her with a frown. "Please, please, please! You never said anything about me not going anywhere, daddy. I really want to see this ancient city." She held her hands together as she looked at him with hopeful optics.

Optimus seemed to be hesitant. He hummed softly, rubbing his chin thoughtfully. "Hmm...well...since it will only be reconnaissance..." Azura gasped loudly as she waited for his response. "Make sure you listen to Bulkhead's instruction carefully, Azura. You will not go far from him, and if danger presents itself, you are to remain hidden until Bulkhead alerts you that it is safe. Or if we need to assist."

Azura nodded as she understood his instructions clearly. "I promise I won't misbehave, daddy. You have my word." She giggled as she ran down the stairs and jumped to the floor, looking up at Bulkhead excitedly. "I am so excited!"

Miko seemed a little annoyed, since she thought she would get to spend time with Bulkhead. But she said nothing. Bulkhead was happy Azura had asked to go with him. "All a board!" Bulkhead transformed as Ratchet walked over to the ground bridge controls to activate it. "The tour to Greece leaves in one minute!"

Azura and Miko giggle before they both climb into the car. Azura bounced in the seat excitedly and got onto her knees to stare out the window as Bulkhead drove through the vortex once it opened. She wondered what city they were visiting. She doubted it would be Athens, since that was a very populated area, so it would have to be a different ancient site. Regardless, she was still excited.

Once they reached the other side, Azura's smile widened as she saw white, ancient columns ahead as Bulkhead came to a stop. "Here we are!" Azura jumped out as soon as Bulkhead opened the door. "Azura..." She looked up at him as soon as he spoke to her. "Stay within the perimeter of the ruins. There aren't many ruins around, but make sure you stay. I don't want you to get in any further trouble than you already are."

"Understood!" Azura couldn't decide where to look first as she looked around the area. She noticed there seemed to be stone seat stands that have been worn over time. "Ooh, I wonder if this was a place for ancient Olympics."

Miko ignored Azura as she looked around with a smile. "So what are we doing in Grecoville?" She asked, running over to a high point to look around at the ruined city.

"I'm scouting energon," Bulkhead replied, pulling out a handheld device to scan for energon. "You're doing research for your history report."

Miko looked at Bulkhead in shock. "You punked me, Bulk? Not cool!"

"It isn't that bad, Miko." Miko turned to look at Azura as the sparkling walked over to her quickly. "Look at this place. It's amazing! If I wasn't stuck in an orphanage, I would have loved to travel and see the world!" Azura chuckled as she skipped a circle around Miko before running down a set of steps to take a closer look at the city. "Now I am not entirely sure where this is, but that stadium behind us makes me think this could have been an Olympic arena."

Miko rolled her eyes in irritation at the sparkling. "If you are so enthusiastic about this place, you could write the report for me. It would save me so much thinking and writing. I hate doing both!"

Azura shook her head. "Nope. You have to learn responsibility, Miko. It is your job to get it done, so you need to do it. I am just here to enjoy the surroundings here. This is so cool!" She ran over to Bulkhead and hugged his leg suddenly, making the wrecker look down at her in surprise. "Thanks for bringing me, Bulk. I need to make sure I give daddy a big hug when I get back home."

Bulkhead smiled as the sparkling let his leg go to keep running around. "You are welcome. But please remember to not run outside the perimeter of this place. You might end up forgetting, so I'm going to have to remind you." Azura nodded as she understood. She did not want to go too far anyway. She had spotted some ruins with a painting on it, and so she ran over to that. "At least you aren't too far…" Bulkhead looked at the scanner as he proceeded towards the signal. It was getting stronger, and he looked around curiously. "Signal's strong…"

Azura was staring at the painting curiously. It seemed to be a picture of people worshipping one of the Greek gods. It looked to be Poseidon, but she could not tell. Though the trident somewhat gave it away. The image of the god holding some kind of orb in their hands was interesting to her. She did not know what it was, but it seemed important. Clearly, it was something she never got to learn in school, but she might get to learn about it now.

"An excavation site," Bulkhead commented as he noticed the various vehicles nearby. He glanced at Miko as she looked at him curiously. "I know construction. According to my scanner, humans hit energon veins. And they don't even know it." He looked over at the ruin picture that Azura was admiring, and he took notice of it. "Woah…" He took a couple steps closer as he looked at it curiously. "That's Cybertronian!"

Azura turned when Bulkhead commented that, and she realized he was talking about the picture. "Wait…do you mean this?" She asked, pointing to the orb in the hand of the Greek god.

Bulkhead nodded. Miko smiled at she looked at Bulkhead. "I can't believe you know what that round thing is." She grabbed out her phone and took a quick photo. "You're smarter than you let on."

"But even dumber than he looks."

Azura jumped as soon as she heard a new voice, and saw a new, blue coloured, decepticon she had never met. He was at the top of the stadium and grinning at Bulkead. Azura widened her optics and she hoped he did not see her as she stepped away from the painting slowly. Since he was where he was, he might not see her, but she made her way over to a column to hide behind and peering from behind it carefully so he would not spot her.

Bulkhead tensed and narrowed his optics as soon as he spotted the decepticon, seemingly knowing who this decepticon is. "Breakdown." Yep, he definitely knew him.

The decepticon just chuckled a little in response to him. "Miss me?"

"Like rust in my undercarriage," Bulkhead responded to Breakdown coldly.

Miko was glaring at Breakdown as she too did not know him. "You know this long head?"

"We have a history," The wrecker responded to Miko without taking his eye from Breakdown.

"And you have a pet." Breakdown chuckled softly as he glanced at Miko. "Does it play fetch?" He turned to pick up a column, making Azura widen her optics as his disrespect to destroying an ancient piece of history. He turned to look at Miko deviously. "Catch."

He threw the column, and Miko turned to run as she realized that the column was going to hit her. Azura herself couldn't believe Breakdown would go for Miko straight away, but he was a decepticon, so it really should not have been a surprise. Azura was just glad she had chosen to run down to where she was, otherwise Breakdown might make it his mission to snag her from Bulkhead. She somehow believed he would.

Bulkhead stepped in front of Miko, turning his back to Breakdown as the column hit his back. "Miko, stay down!" He glanced over her towards the other ruins, and he realized he could not see Azura. He was trying to look for her, but he could not give away her position either to Breakdown.

Though while he was distracted, Breakdown ran at Bulkhead and tackled him, sending them both hurdling down into the same space Azura was hiding. She watched as Breakdown lands on his back, and used that momentum to throw Bulkhead straight into the painting like he was a ragdoll. Azura couldn't believe that just happened, and she sometimes forget that autobots and decepticons could treat each other like that.

Breakdown was amused by what he had achieved as he just shrugged. "Oops, hope the pretty picture wasn't too important." And with that, he transformed and sped away.

Azura thought that was strange as she watched the decepticon speed away. It was as though he had done something right. She stepped out from behind the column she was hiding behind, walking over to Bulkhead cautiously as the bot groaned. He had an embarrassed expression on his face. He most certainly had not been expecting this to happen, and he had both Miko and Azura see his tail pipe getting whooped.

"Told you I'm good at breaking things," Bulkhead said unhappily, glancing around at the ruined picture around him.

"I always have your back, Bulk," Miko said with a smile as she walked towards him. She grabbed her phone out and showed the picture to him. "Got us a picture, of the picture."

Azura smiled at Miko and looked at Bulkhead. "At least she got the picture." Bulkhead looked at her, seemingly surprised to notice her. "What? I was hiding behind a column. Besides, it wasn't you who destroyed the picture. Breakdown did…using your body…"

"Yeah…true…" Bulkhead stood up with a groan and leaned down to pick Azura up suddenly, startling her. "Are you sure you are, okay? No scratch? Metal burn?"

Azura smiled as he checked her body over for any injuries. "Maybe a little dust, but I am fine, Bulkhead. Really. Breakdown never saw me. And I am glad he didn't, or I might be locked within that car and being taken to the decepticon warship…" She shuddered at the very idea of that. "I…I don't even know what would happen if I were taken there…"

"It most certainly is not a good thing to think about. But…" Bulkhead turned to look at the painting. "We now need to confirm the picture we just found. I am certain we might have found an image of an energon harvester." Azura frowned immediately upon hearing Bulkhead give the object a name. He opened his com link before she could speak. "Bulkhead to base, come in. We need a ground bridge. We had…a little decepticon situation just now…and I need confirmation of something we found. It could be related to an energon harvester."

"Is Azura unharmed?" Optimus asked quickly in response to Bulkhead.

"Yeah, she's a little dusty and all, but nothing a little bath won't take care of." Azura giggled at Bulkhead's words to Optimus. "She was never spotted. Thankfully, she happened to be hidden before he saw her."

Optimus did not respond, but he was undoubtedly relieved to hear that Azura was unharmed. The vortex opened beside them shortly after, and Miko ran into the bridge first, followed by Bulkhead. Azura was upset that her first trip to Greece resulted in a decepticon attack. She could not help but frown and fold her arms grumpily, making Bulkhead look at her curiously as he did not know why she seemed upset.

Upon walking through the vortex, Optimus was standing by the vortex waiting, and he saw the grumpy expression on Azura's face, which made him confused. "Um…are you okay, Azura? You seem less than pleased."

Bulkhead gently passed the sparkling to Optimus, and she immediately snuggled against Optimus once she was in her carrier's arms. "I am just upset that the decepticons had to ruin it. I was so happy to see an old, Olympic stadium…potentially, an Olympic stadium…and it was first time in Greece, so…I was really hope for a bit more time. But no, the decepticons had to ruin it."

Optimus could not help but smile at Azura's complaints. "I see. Unfortunately, it might be the only chance you had to see Greece." She groaned softly as she knew that was likely true. "I am sorry it did not go the way you planned, but at less you are unharmed. A little dusty, but unharmed." He kissed her cheek, and that resulted in her smiling at him. "I most certainly prefer it when you smile, Azura." Azura giggled softly and Optimus looked at Bulkhead curiously. "Now what is this about an energon harvester? Do you have proof?"

"We sure do!" Miko responded enthusiastically, waving her phone around as she ran up the stairs. "Raf…" She ran over to the boy who was at his laptop. "Can you share the image that I took of the painting? The painting I took had some round thing on it, Bulkhead recognized it as Cybertronian."

Raf took Miko's phone to connect it with his computer. "I guess you did a good thing taking a picture. But…if there was a decepticon there, I hope you kind of destroyed the original picture…even if it was historic."

"Well, we kind of did," Bulkhead responded hesitantly, while Azura gave him a grin. "But I am not sure if Breakdown saw the image."

"Breakdown?" Arcee shook her head with a deep sigh. "Your arch rival, I see."

The wrecker nodded affirmatively. "Unfortunately…and he treated me like I was nothing but a ragdoll too…he did try to harm Miko too…so at least she and Azura are both okay…that was my main priority. And it was supposed to only be recon…"

"It was not your fault, Bulkhead. These things happen. Besides, we detected the energon signal, the decepticons probably did as well. That was something we should have considered." Arcee shrugged and looked at Optimus, smiling as she saw he was rubbing the sparkling's back gently and she was clearly enjoying the back massage. "At least she has another excuse for a bath."

Optimus nodded in agreement with a smile. He looked at the screen once Raf finally pulled up the image that Miko had taken, and enhanced it so everyone could see. Optimus observed the picture, and he was immediately concerned by what he saw. "It is indeed an energon harvester." Azura looked at the image before looking at Optimus curiously as she did not know what this object could do. "A powerful tool created by the ancients…" Azura widened her optics as she was immediately intrigued by learning about ancient autobots. That would be something she would love to learn. "To remove raw energon from any source."

Remove energon from any source?

Azura realized she did not like the sound of that…and the name of the harvester obviously gave away its purpose. "Greek gods knew autobots?!" Rafael questioned curiously, and Azura seemed surprised by the boy's question.

"No…" Optimus shook his head gently. "The ancients used the art of a given era to conceal messages." Azura tilts her head as she thought that meant autobots could have been to this planet once before many years ago. It would actually explained why the artifact was here. "This fresco was likely a signpost indicating a harvester's location. Hidden somewhere on this planet."

Jack looked up from where he was leaning on the railing with a troubled expression. He seemed to be thinking deeply about the harvester itself. "Um…Optimus…if the harvester removes energon from anything, and you all have energon pumping inside you…"

"Please don't finish the question!" Azura barked, placing her hands on her ears, shaking her head. "I don't want to think about it."

Optimus cradled her against him to keep her comforted with a sympathetic, and knowing smile. "Unfortunately, Azura, in decepticon hands, the harvester would be a devastating weapon." Azura shivered at the very thought, and he did not have to say anything for her to think of that kind of horror.

Miko turned to Bulkhead with a proud smile. "See? You were a genius to total that painting! Even if Breakdown had a slight hand in helping you with it."

"Miko's not wrong," Arcee said in agreement, seemingly relaxed about the whole situation. "How can the cons find the harvester without the fresco?"

"With high-speed internet." Azura looked over at Rafael with a frown, hoping there was nothing found on the internet about the harvester, even though it was highly likely. "If you do an image search for Greek god and golden orb, this pops up." He lifts his laptop to show the autobots what he found. A large statue holding a golden orb. "It's in a museum."

Arcee seemed unconvinced, so she looked at Optimus curiously. "That the real deal."

Azura was curious too. But she saw the concerned look in Optimus's face to know that this was likely the real harvester. She did not like it. She just wanted to destroy it right now, so it wouldn't be used to harm anyone. Even if it would be useful for the autobots too. But the risk was likely too great, and Optimus would also choose to destroy the object than keep it. Keeping meant that it they went out and used it, the decepticons could steal it and turn the object on them in that fight. It was too risky.

"Contact Agent Fowler!"
