( I will be only doing the arctic part and not the scraplet part. Sorry and please forgive me :( )

Some where in the Arctic, Bulkhead and Bumblebee were searching for something that Ratchet had picked up on the scanners. The snowy wind was blowing like crazy and it proved to be difficult for both Bulkhead and Bumblebee. Bumblebee made some noises that are meant to say are we there yet. Because sadly that is how he speaks now due to a horrible experience with a vile and evil warlord. Bulkhead replied and said, " No, we're not there yet, but is should be just past this ridge, Bumblebee."

They walked over to the edge of the ridge and then they both slid down. Bulkhead then looked at the mini scanner and he said, " I don't get it. These readings are off the charts."

Bumblebee sees something in the frozen lake and gets Bulkheads attention to come and take a look at what he had discovered. Bulkhead and Bumblebee both see what had been causing the high readings.

Now at team primes base

Both Bulkhead and Bumblebee were sitting on the ground near a wall with cables hooked up to them to make sure that nothing is wrong. Bulkhead removes the cables and said," I told you ,Doc, we're fine."

Bulkhead then gets up only for Ratchet to push him back down.Ratchet then says, " The only way to be certain your fine, Bulkhead, is to endure standard defrosting procedure. You know prolonged exposure to Sub-Zero conditions can cause permanent system damage."

Optimus prime walks over the medic while Arcee and Grimlock follow behind prime.

Optimus says, " Ratchet, have you learned anything more about our Article find?"

Ratchet replies, " Not yet. The pod can't be opened while it's frozen solid."

The half frozen pod was melting and fast too. Then we hear metal creaking and some scraping. Then a crack forms and it gets bigger and bigger until a claw like hand pops out.

( you can play this now if you want)

Ratchet sets some coordinates for ground bridge and then opens the ground bridge for Prime.

Optimus says" Arcee, Grimlock, and I will search for Any clue, which might explain the origin of our Arctic find."

Ratchet replies" Only until your sensors. Remember, Once your core temperature drops into the blue zone, system failures aren't likely, There imminent."

Optimus and Arcees Autobot symbols flashed blue while Grimlocks flashed red because of his decepticon symbol.

"This is going to be fun, I hope there's something to smash there."Grimlock says with a toothy grin.

Ratchet scoffs at his comment while arcee slightly smiles at his response. Then Bumblebee and Bulkhead drove in with the kids. Miko steps out of the car and says."Miss us doc bot?"

Ratchet groans a little." Shouldn't they be at school?"

Everyone could tell that Ratchet didn't really like to have the children at the base. Bulkhead and Bumblebee transform. Miko was walking over to the stairs."On a Saturday? We have the whole weekend off to spend with you."

Jack was following Miko." I wasn't expecting a carpool. What gives Arcee?"

Arcee looks down at jack." Trio team jack,it's my turn for exploration duty. It's going to be a Arctic exploration."

Jack wonders a bit on who else will be going with her and Optimus." Who else is going with you Acree?"

Arcee points at Grimlock who was talking with Miko about smashing and breaking stuff and how much fun it is. Jack was a bit surprised that Grimlock of all bots was going. Jack did like Grimlock but since he is a decepticon, jack didn't trust him that much." You sure its a good idea to bring him with you guys?"

Arcee looks over at Grimlock for a while and then looks back at jack." Not my call Jack. If Optimus thinks it's a good idea to bring him, then I do to."

Jack is now a little less worried." Okay Arcee. Stay safe out there." Jack goes over to join with miko.

Grimlock is about to finish his conversation with miko." And when I get back, me and you are gonna smash some stuff." Grimlock gives her a smile.

Miko is excited and then Grimlock walks over to join Optimus and Arcee. Raf walks over to them after jack was done talking to Arcee." The Arctic? I've always wanted to see snow."

Optimus wouldn't mind bringing Rafael with them but it was to dangerous." I would invite you to join Rafael.But the conditions are too extreme. Even for we Autobots."

Grimlock points him self with a big grin." Except for a Dinobot like me. This Dinobot can survive much longer then other bots in any kind of conditions."

Grimlock then started to flex. Which caused the children, bulkhead, and Bumblebee to laugh a little. Acree smiles a little at Grimlocks little funny moment. Ratchet scoffs and then goes back to typing on the Groundbridge controls and Optimus didn't show much emotion. "You are correct Grimlock. But you must also realize that everyone has there limits."

Grimlock was slightly confused at what he said but he just nods. The trio begin to walk through the ground bridge. Grimlock looks at the now sad Raf and gives him a smile ." I'll bring you back lots of snow little buddy."

This made Raf very happy to hear that." That would be awesome. Thanks Grim."

Raf then walks back to the other children. The trio then walk through the ground bridge. After they make it to the other side and the portal closes

And they start looking for clues to there discovery.

~20 minutes later~

After a while, they were currently near a cliff and Optimus started to climb down. But then suddenly, Optimus logo was blinking blue. He then comms Grimlock and Arcee." Arcee and Grimlock. What's your status?"

Arcees logo was blinking blue." My sensors going off. What about you Grimlock?"

Grimlocks logo wasn't blinking red at all." Nothings happening. I guess that means I'm good."

Acree was a little bit shocked that he was okay with this much cold." Even if your okay Grimlock. Me and Optimus won't be for much longer. we should call for pick up. Before things get chilly."

Grimlock is a little sad that there mission is over. Grimlock then remembers his promise to Raf and picks up a bunch of snow.

Optimus then comms the base." Optimus to base, core temperatures have reached the blue zone. Prepare to activate ground bridge."

Optimus is only getting static. Optimus is now worried that something has happened to the communication systems back at base and that the Autobots might be in trouble back at base.

~ 20 minutes later~

Optimus, Arcee, and Grimlock are currently walking through a strong snow storm. Optimus try's to contact back to base." Optimus to base. Do you read?"

Arcee falls to the ground, feeling weak due to the cold. Grimlock kneels down and picks her up. Grimlock is worried about his friend." You okay Arcee? Do you need me to carry you?"

Arcee is a little embarrassed that Grimlock is holder her in his arms. " I'm fine Grimlock, you don't need to carry me."

Grimlock puts her back on the ground and she then starts to fall again. Grimlock stops her from falling and picks her back up. Arcee sighs." Looks like you might have to carry me."

Grimlock smiles and then looks into her optics and then he starts to feel something." I don't mind carrying you." Grimlock 'blushes' a little.

Arcee gives him a small smile. Optimus walks over to them." The nearest temporary climate is to far from here. Attempting to reach it would take to much energy and speed up the freezing process. Until ratchet send for us, And he will. Our best option is to Seek shelter and insulate our selfs."

~ 20 minutes later~

Optimus, Arcee , and Grimlock are leaning against a Ivey wall. Arcee had her eyes closed and this worried Grimlock a lot. Grimlock then taps her helm. " wake up Acree. You need to stay awake. Like me and Optimus." Grimlock said with a worried look on his face.

Arcee rubs her optics and looks at Grimlock." I'm just resting my eyes."

Grimlock is worried that she might not make it. Also Grimlocks logo had blinked red about 5 minutes ago and he's very slowly starting to feel the affects of the cold like Optimus and Acree. Optimus looks over to them." The longer we remain alert,the longer we remain alive."

Arcee looks at the last prime." What do you suggest? Wait, how about a game?"

Grimlock likes games and he smiles." I love games. What's it called?" Grimlock sounds happy.

This put a small smile on Acrees faceplate." It's called 'who screwed everything back at base?'"

Grimlock is confused because he has never heard of this game." I never heard of that game." He sounded confused and this made Arcee giggle a little.

Optimus thinks that it wasn't anyone's felt." Our predicament could be the result of a simple malfunction."

." Caused by bulkhead. Let's see, no comm link, maybe even no power. Probably tripped over a cord. He's never been to graceful."

Grimlock laughs a little." I can see that happening ."

Acree pulls her knees closer to her." Optimus. Remember when we first arrived to earth and bulkhead walked into thoughts power lines." She giggles." Who knew he could dance like."

Grimlock laughs from hearing this." I wish I was there to see it happen."

Optimus rememberers that day very well." Bulkhead may be too large for this world. But his inner strength is without bounds. One shouldn't be judged by size alone."

Grimlock was very inspired by his speech." So inspirational." He said with a smile.

Arcee looks at Grimlock with a smile." You know what Grimlock. It's been nice having you around. Even though you been with use for a couple of weeks."

Grimlock is happy that she liked having him around." That is the nicest thing anyone has said to me."

Grimlock gives her a big dinobot hug. Arcee is surprised by this but she decided to go with it and hug him back. Optimus looks at them and smiles under his mask.

~30 minutes

Optimus, Arcee , and Grimlock were laying down. Arcee was laying her helm on Grimlocks torso." You know the worst part. After battling cons over the years. Getting shot at, blown up. This is how our lights go out."

Grimlock didn't want this to be the end but he didn't want to go offline while being sad and depressed." I always thought I would go offline during a great fight." Grimlock joked a little.

Arcee giggles a little at his joke." That sounds like something you would do Grimlock."

Optimus lifts his head up a bit." Arcee, Grimlock. This might be the finish that none of us planned. But if this is indeed the end. If we are to become one with the all spark."

Optimus holds Arcces hand and Grimlock holds her other hand. Arcee looks at prime." It's been a honor serving you, Optimus prime." She then looks at Grimlock." It's been nice knowing you Grimlock."

Grimlock looks her." It's been nice to know you too Acree." He said with a smile.

After a couple of minutes a ground bridge appears and then Optimus and Grimlock get up, while Grimlock carries Arcee. When they get a bit closer they see bulkhead running to them. Grimlock is wondering why he is running to them. Bulkhead makes it to the other side and yells at them."down, down!" He then falls.

Scraplets come flying through the ground bridge and they are heading to the trio. Grimlock gets in front of prime and turns his back to the scraplets to protect prime and arcee. But they were all frozen and bounced off Grimlock. The trio the look at bulkhead ." I'd invite you in but the place is a mess." He joked.

Grimlock laughs at his joke. Everyone heads through the ground bridge.

~10 minutes later~

All the autobots and Grimlock are being monitored. There was a pile of snow in the base. Grimlock kept his promise to Raf. " Report bio circuitry system status." Said Ratchet.

Jack see that levels are rising and doing much better now." Levels are rising." He gives ratchet a thumbs up.

Ratchet is pleased by this." Excellent. Rafael, keep a close watch on bumblebees electro pulse monitor. Miko, check bulkheads inner face patch."

" it's steady." Replied raf

" looking good." Says miko.

Ratchet is pleased with the results. ." Perhaps you should get some rest your self old friend. You saved quite a few lives today." Says Optimus with a small smile.

Ratchet smiles." It was not all my doing."

He watched as Raf hooked up a cable to bee." We are just fortunate that this infestation happened on a Saturday."

." Our human friends may be small but they are strong." Said prime.

As he said that everyone heard a loud scream from miko. This causes Grimlock look over to her. Jack and raf have weapons ready to attack the danger. "Scraplets?!" Said Jack

" spider!" Said miko as she panicked and ran away while looking to see if it's on her.

" Did she just scream like a little girl?"

Asked bulkhead.

Grimlock is laughing a little at miko who was screaming like a little girl and as she ran away.
