I have a poll on my profile page asking a question I really want to have answered. I'm trying to get as many answers as I can, and very few people visit my profile. I've gotten literally one answer in a week, and that's sad. Please answer, and be honest about it.

I only own my OC's!

OUT OF HIS HEAD

Pema and I climb on Ikki. "Do you know what you'll do with her while we're in class?"

"Tie her reins to a light post or something. I don't know, but we have no other way to get to school!" Pema shrugs.

We're both dressed alike today, wearing brown leggings, a short sleeved, thigh length brown tunic with an orange and yellow floral pattern, and brown flats. We're wearing our hair in a single braid each, secured with a brown hair tie each, and each wearing a brown headband. Bandit perches on the horn until we take off, then moves back to lie next to Pema.

After school lets out, we all head to the lot. The four had told their guardians they would find a ride, suspecting that Pema and I had ridden to school on Ikki. "Hey, need a ride?" I airbend myself onto the back of the bison's head. They all four nod in agreement. "All right, climb on." Bandit is happy to see us, and perches on Pema's shoulder.

"Pema, take Ikki into the training room. I need to go see the Autobots." My twin sister nods and takes the leads. "Hey, Cee. Hey Bulk. What's going on?"

Bulkhead raises an eyebrow ridge. "What is that thing?"

"A sky Bison. That's Ikki, my bison. Dad brought her home right before Pema and I were reunited. I'll clean up after her."

"Follow the light." Ratchet shines the light in Optimus' optic. Optimus looks slightly irritated, but simply follows the light. "Good, good." He turns off the flashlight, "I wouldn't advise anything strenuous, Optimus, but it appears your systems have fully recovered from the Cybonic plague."

The braces around Optimus retract as he steps out of the medical chamber. "Thanks to your medical expertise, old friend."

"It was your scout who braved unknown territory to locate the cure."

"It was nothing really."

"You went inside someone's mind. How is that nothing?"

"Lucky for us Megatron was still alive." Arcee admits, causing Bumblebee to bleep in surprise and my and Pema's mouths to drop. "Yeah, I actually said that."

"Well, Optimus, all that matters is that you are on the mend. While Megatron-"

"Ratchet, we don't even know if Megatron's dead."

"Sheyenne's right." Bumblebee suddenly, out of nowhere, walks out of the room. "I did my best to finish Megatron's story. Just couldn't stick around long enough to see how it ended."

THIRD POV

Bumblebee walks down the hall and suddenly looks at his hands. "It is a matter of time before Optimus discovers all is not right with you, scout." Bumblebee then realizes that Megatron is somehow in his mind. "I must reclaim my body, which means talking complete and total control of yours."

NORMAL POV

"Basketball, by way of Cybertron! Let the games begin!" Miko blows her whistle. Pema cheers. I lean on the bars and watch the game as Jack and Sierra make out.

Bumblebee spins the ball on his finger and makes a shot for the hoop, but Bulkhead catches it before it goes in and makes a shot instead. "Yeah! Go, Bulk!"

Pema turns to me. "Who's side are we on?"

I smile. "Bumblebee's. Bee's the youngest."

"Come on. Best two out of three!" Bulkhead throws the ball to Bumblebee. He catches it and makes his way to the hoop while dodging Bulkhead.

"Bee! You're in the clear! Dunk it, Bee!"

As Bumblebee is about to dunk it, he suddenly stops and just stares at the hoop. "Bumblebee?"

Bandit suddenly begins to growl at Bumblebee. "What's wrong with Bandit?"

"Bumblebee, quit hogging the ball!"

In response, Bumblebee throws the metal ball at Bulkhead, but he ducks and the ball hits the wall. Miko slides down the ladder and blows the whistle again. "Flagrant foul!"

"Dodge ball by wall of Cybertron."

"Now THAT'S fun."

"Back at my old school we used dodgeball as a training mechanism for agility and speed. I am a champion at Dodgeball."

"Ditto, sis. Though we only use it for gym class here."

"Bee, hoop's over there."

"Sorry, I spaced out."

"Bee, you okay?"

"I'm fine. Don't worry. Three out of five?" Bumblebee holds up three fingers.

"Yeah, Three out of five."

THIRD POV

Later, Bumblebee is going for a walk down the hall. He abruptly pauses and his optics dilate. "If I am to return to my body. I must first restore its functionality. How did I escape annihilation? Of course! Dark energon!" Megatron then realizes the Cybertronian is a Decepticon. "Starscream."

NORMAL POV

"Bumblebee?" Bumblebee looks down to see me and Pema looking at him worriedly. "Are you sure that you're okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"Okay." I say a little uneasily before we walk off.

THIRD POV

"Who was that?" Megatron questions.

NORMAL POV

"What did he say?"

"He said he's fine, but I've been learning Seismic Sense from Miko, and I can tell he's lying."

"Well, why would he do that?"

"I think something's going on with his head. Bee NEVER spaces out."

The next morning:

Pema and I climb out of bed and pull out our clothes. We both wear yellow t-shirts with Air Nomad print, brown jeans, yellow socks, and white shoes with orange hoodies. We dress quickly and head out the back door to ride to school on Ikki.

"Cool. Really cool."

I sigh heavily. "Stop. We're identical twins. Face it. We do this kind of thing."

"Yeah, when you're babies and your parents dress you!"

A tear rolls down my cheek. "Look, Miko, this is our choice." Pema puts an arm around me. "It's going to be all right, Shey. Just calm down. Miko didn't mean anything by it."

"I know."

Raf begins to grow worried as he waits outside of his house. School is about to start and Bumblebee hasn't even shown up. Raf gets out his cell and calls Jack. "Jack, what's going on?"

"Raf? Class is starting!"

"Bumblebee never showed up to pick me up for school, and his comm. link's off again. Any idea where he is?"

The five of us head out to Ikki after school lets out. "Ready for this ride? Ikki, yip yip."

I secure Ikki before joining the others on the platform.

Bumblebee walks into the main room and begins to look around. When he looks at one of Ratchet's tools, his optics dilate and he walks over to the tool. He picks it up and looks at it. "Yes. Go on, scout. Obey my will." Bumblebee crushes the tool in his hand. "BUMBLEBEE!" Bumblebee turns around nervously to see a not-so-happy Ratchet. "I NEEDED THAT!" Bumblebee whirs an apology. "What has gotten into you?" Bumblebee begins to explain how he is seeing visions and Megatron. "You're seeing Megatron's face?"

Moments later, Bumblebee is in the medical chamber. His optics are no longer glowing, signaling that he powered down. "Bumblebee has been complaining of intermittent visions. Waking nightmares if you will."

"But you said Bumblebee was fine when you checked him over!"

"Physically. But the experience he endured seems to be having a temporary effect on his psyche. This induced power down should allow Bumblebee's mind to rest and recover." Raf slightly hangs his head.

I walk over to him and rub his back. "It'll be okay."

THIRD POV

Pema is currently standing on a higher platform. It's nice to hear her sister helping others, but for some reason she has a feeling something horrible will happen. "Shey?"

A beeping noise interrupts her and everyone turns to see Agent Fowler on the comm. link system. "Prime! You spot any Decepticons wearing hula skirts lately?"

"No, Special Agent Fowler, why?"

"Cause I was hoping that you'd have a lead on the 'Cons that busted into the Hawaiian Naval Observatory. Place looked like it was hit by an army of wrecking balls."

"Why would 'Cons break into an observatory?"

"Does the Hoit Niko Gosium ring any bells?"

"The space telescope!"

"And as of last night, missing it's primary lens."

"It is difficult to guess Starscream's intent without knowing where the lens has been taken."
"Good thing the lens has a tracking device."

A map of the world was shown as they zoomed in on the Artic. "The Artic? Great, another chance to freeze our spark plugs off."

"But why there?"

Bulkhead whistles as it zooms in once more on an energon deposit. "That's an ND7 class. Biggest unmineable deposit there is."

"Unmineable, until Starscream melts his way through it."

"With the help of the lens."

"Melting a glacier that size would cause sea levels to rise and demolish coastal cities."

"And so I blow past the finish line. Then my other sister, Pilar, asked how I gotten so good at racing. And I told her I know a guy who knows cars."

"Rafael, Bumblebee is in power down mode. He can't actually here you. It's getting late, why don't I bridge you back to your family."

"Because I promised Bumblebee I'd stay. He's family too."

"Don't be ridiculous. You're not even the same species."

"You really don't know much about humans."

"That's being related." Raf takes out his phone. "It isn't the same thing. I'll show you. This is my family."

Ratchet kneels down to get a closer look. "Very nice."

"Very LARGE. Sometimes I can shout and no one hears me." Raf looks up at Bumblebee. "But Bumblebee always listens." Ratchet smiles. "And I can understand him, I'm not sure why, but I do."

"It's been a while since I've been to the North Pole."

"You've NEVER been, as far as I know."

"Of course I have! I was just…really little."

"Yeah, that's believable. So have you told Sierra about how MY sister is carrying YOUR twins yet?"

"You two need to chill." I throw a melting snowball at each of them. Optimus looks back and sighs heavily.

"But it's a lot different. Feels like summer."

The Autobots hide behind an ice wall. "Here that's a bad thing."

"Yeah, tell me about it. It's like when Zhao killed the moon spirit." Pema points up wordlessly. "Whoa."

The weapon keeps melting through the ice as smoke and water vapor rises from the ground. "So… Any idea how to destroy a weapon on a ship that's thousands of feet in the air?"

"Kind of wish you brought Ikki."

"Autobots," Everyone turns and looks at Optimus. "Do you remember the end run on Polyhex?"

Raf continues to type on his laptop with Miko sitting next to him. "Rafael, I'm going to go to the supply vault to see if I can find parts to repair this. You know what that means?"

"Don't touch anything."

Ratchet then walks out of the room to the supply vault. Suddenly, Bumblebee's optics come back online and look around the room. Miko senses this and looks up. "Um…"

"Wait until you see the new laptop I'm saying up for 'Bee!" Bumblebee doesn't listen. Instead, he walks out of the medical chamber and towards the ground bridge. "Bee?" Bumblebee types in a set of coordinates and the ground bridge comes to life.

"Bumblebee, what are you doing?!"

"Come back!"

Bumblebee just walks through the portal.

Ratchet walks in to see Bumblebee leaving. "What did you do?"

"How are we supposed know?!"

"He just got up and-"

"He was in power down!" Ratchet turns to watch the bridge nervously. "Where does he think he's off to?"

A ground bridge opened up in a canyon and Bumblebee walks out. There are Cybertronian corpses everywhere, but Bumblebee doesn't seem to care. He is looking for something else. "Where is it? Where?" Bumblebee then sees another vision. He sees Megatron holding a dark energon shard high in the air. He then throws the shard into the solid ground. The shard causes the ground to crack and a mix of blue and purple light to come out. Bumblebee turns to see a small crater with a purple light coming out of it. He walks over to the crater and carefully pulls out the shard. Bumblebee looks at the dark energon as it glows and purrs in his hand.

"These are the coordinates for the sight of our previous battle with Megatron's undead."

"Maybe we should call Optimus."

"Optimus is busy preventing a polar ice cap from melting. We need to handle this on our own." Ratchet opens the ground bridge and Bumblebee walks back through.

"Bumblebee!" Miko grabs Raf to make sure he doesn't go any further. She knows something is wrong, but she knows she has to wait.

"Bumblebee, what have you been doing?"

"What's he holding?"

Ratchet grabs Bumblebee's arm to see him holding dark energon. "Dark energon?"

Bumblebee then punches Ratchet into a wall, causing him to fall to the ground unconscious. Miko jumps over the railing and shoots a piece of the metal floor, but Bumblebee catches it and throws it aside. He then activates his blasters and fires a shot near Miko. The force sends her to the wall unconscious.

"Bee, what are you doing?" Bumblebee walks over to Raf and picks him up. "Bee, please! I know you're in there! You have to fight whatever's making you do this!" Bumblebee doesn't listen. He puts Raf near the air vent and runs through the ground bridge. Ratchet groans as he gets up. "Ratchet, are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Ratchet picks up Raf from the air vent. "The more important question is whether or not Bumblebee is all right. I fear the time he's spent in Megatron's mind is causing him to think Like a Decepticon."

"Bee's not a 'Con!"

"Then why the heck did he hurt Ratchet and Miko?"

Sierra runs over towards Miko. "Miko!"

"I don't know. But we need to find out what Bumblebee intends to do with the shard. The only one who knew of the dark energon…was Megatron."

"Bumblebee has Megatron's memories?"

"Worse. Megatron is occupying Bumblebee's mind."

"WHAT?!"

"How could I have been such a fool? The cortical psychic patch acted as a two-way conduit. When Bumblebee returned to his own mind, Megatron followed. And now Bumblebee-Megatron, has bridge to nearly the same coordinates Optimus used." Ratchet pulls the lever and the ground bridge opens once again. "Stay here."

"No. Bumblebee needs me."

Ratchet sighs in defeat. "Of course he does."

"I'll stay here and watch Miko and the ground bridge."

"Yes! I love when a plan comes together!" A familiar engine sound is heard as Bulkhead and Arcee come driving in their vehicle modes towards the ship. He also sees Pema on her glider, while Jack and I are riding on water waves. "Autobots and their blasted pet benders."

"Please, Lord Starscream. Allow your second-in-command the honor." Knockout turns to his best friend. "Breakdown, total them!"

Breakdown jumps onto one of the wings of the ship before he begins free falling. "Incoming!" Everyone picks up the pace. Breakdown lands behind the Autobots. The force of the impact sends us all flying. Pema, Jack, and I use our bending and land on the ground safely while Bulkhead and Arcee transformed into their robot modes, ready to face their opponent.

Meanwhile, Optimus is climbing up a glacier that is closest to the Nemesis.

A ground bridge opens up on the Nemesis and Ratchet jumps out with Raf on his shoulder. "The Decepticon warship." Ratchet immediately runs down the hall and sees a trail of dead drones.

"Did Bumblebee do this?"

"I fear Megatron's mind is dominant. And clearly for one purpose: to use the dark energon to resurrect his own body."

"Bumblebee won't let him. Like he didn't let Megatron hurt me back at base!"

"I hope your right." Ratchet puts Raf on the ground as they make their way to the med-bay. When they get there, they see Bumblebee connecting the cortical psychic patch to the back of his head as the other side is already connected to Megatron. Ratchet runs towards Bumblebee, ready to attack.

"Ratchet, don't hurt Bumblebee!"

"That's not Bumblebee!" Ratchet tries to punch Bumblebee. Bumblebee dodges it and punches Ratchet to the wall. He then puts his hand on his hip as he held the dark energon.

"Bumblebee, no! Remember who you are! Remember me! I know you always listen to me no matter what!" Bumblebee begins to slowly regain control of his body as he beeps Raf's name. "That's right, Bee! It's me!"

"Unbelievable!" Bumblebee clutches his head and cries out in pain as he falls to the floor. He then pushes Raf aside and he skids on the floor. Bumblebee turns around to see Ratchet clutching onto Megatron's life support cable.

"Farewell, Megatron." Ratchet then pulls the cable.

Bumblebee then grabs Ratchet's arm and throws him to the wall. Ratchet falls to the floor, unconscious.

Raf stands up. "Bumblebee!"

Bumblebee stops at the sound of his voice and turns around. He holds the dark energon in his hand and glares at Raf. The moment Bumblebee speaks, it isn't his voice. It is Megatron's. "Bumblebee can't hear you anymore."

"As much as I want you to leave Bumblebee's body, I can't let you go back to your own!" Raf grabs the purple cable. He keeps swinging around on it until Bumblebee makes a sharp turn and Raf is sent flying.

Bumblebee then walks towards Megatron's body and drives the shard into his chest. The shard melts into his chest and Megatron's eyes snap open. Bumblebee shakes his head as Ratchet regains consciousness.

They back away in fear as Megatron gets up from the berth. A couple of drones run into the med-bay and are shocked to see Megatron alive and well. "Decepticons! Your rightful lord and master has returned!" The Autobots look at Megatron in shock and horror as Megatron glares at them. "Finish these pests! I have my own extermination to perform." The drones charge their blasters and fire at the Autobots.

Optimus finally reaches the top of the glacier and looks at the Nemesis. He begins running before he transforms into his vehicle mode. He gains enough speed until he reaches the edge and flies into the air. He transforms into his robot mode and barely grabs onto the wing of the ship. He pulls himself up and makes his way to the top of the Nemesis.

Arcee runs towards Breakdown and activates her arm blades. Breakdown growls as he runs towards Arcee ready to attack. Arcee then jumps and flips into the air, ready to strike, but Breakdown grabs her by the hands and throws her. Arcee flips and skids to a stop on the ice.

Breakdown feels like he is sinking and looks down to see the ice transforming into water. Pema, Jack, and I share a proud smirk. Breakdown fires three missiles near us, sending us flying while he makes his way out of the water. He ran towards Bulkhead and transforms his hand into a hammer. "I'm gonna put you on ice."

Bulkhead lets out a battle cry as the wrecking ball and the hammer collide, causing the ice to split in two.

"Don't the Bots seem…understaffed?" The 'Cons hear a familiar engine sound as they both turn around to see Optimus driving towards them in his vehicle mode.

"What good is a second-in-command who fails to watch the rear?!" Starscream walks over to the controls and kicks the drone off. "Get out of my way!" He then types in some demands and the laser turns and fires at Optimus. Optimus grunts in pain as he continues to drive onward. He jumps into the air and activates his sword. "NO!" Optimus slices off the lens and the weapon explodes.

The force sends the Autobots and the three of us flying a few feet into the snow.

"Optimus!"

We all look down to see Optimus deep in the snow.

Starscream flies into the air in his vehicle mode and charges at Optimus. "Megatron's greatest mistake was ever allowing you to live PRIME!" Starscream prepares to fire the missile. "And I intend to fix that mistake."

I widen my eyes. I use my air bending to jump into the air, getting ready to attack Starscream, when I see out the corner of my eye, a jet with the cannon at the top. I widen my eyes as the jet uses a turbo boost and intercepts Starscream's attack. The force of the engine sends me flying into the ice.

Jack transforms the ice into water and catches me before slowly bringing me to the ground.

"Shey!" Pema uses her airbending to race to me.

Optimus gets up from the snow and glares at the jet. "Megatron."

"He's back."

Megatron takes Starscream back to the Nemesis. He is thrown onto one of the wings of the ship in his robot mode. He then sees Megatron transform before his eyes. "Lord Megatron. You are…you're healed! Praise the All Spark! It is a miracle!"

"Oh, it will be a miracle all right, Starscream. If you survive what I have planned for you!"

Starscream begins to panic and decides to try and escape. He transforms into his robot mode and is about to fly off, but Megatron grabs him by the tails near his engine. He spins around a couple of times before he throws Starscream onto the next wing. "But the Autobots! Optimus! Right there, waiting for you!"

Megatron approaches him. "My greatest mistake? I've made a few, but there is one I don't intend to make again!" He grabs Starscream by the face and drags him away.

"No, Master! NO!"

"Ratchet, we need a bridge."

"You are not the only one."

To everyone's surprise, we turn around to see Bumblebee and Ratchet with Raf waving on Bumblebee's shoulder.

Pema crosses her arms. "So who's at base right now?"

"Everything's back to normal."

Bumblebee steps out of the medical chamber. "Seriously?"

"Well, normal for Bumblebee."

Raf walks up to Bumblebee as he kneels down. "Raf, I'm sorry for what happened."

"It's okay."

"Weren't you scared?"

"Of course I was."

"I never meant to hurt you like that."

"I know."

"Thanks for being there for me, Raf." Bumblebee holds out his finger and Raf touches it.

Miko leans toward Raf. "What's he saying?"

"He said thanks."

Optimus glances over at me, currently wearing Jack's water tribe parka. He knows that something is wrong with his charge. He noticed certain changes with my behavior a couple of weeks ago, but doesn't know what's wrong. He looks closely into my eyes and sees a mix of emotions: uneasiness, uncertainty, but mostly fear.

I look around at my team, ignoring the Prime's stare. It's not that I don't want him to know about my nightmares, it's that I don't want to talk about what I have seen in them. Jack is talking with Sierra, the latter rolling her eyes exaggeratedly, Miko and Raf are standing by Bumblebee, the former holding her head, and Pema is standing next to where I am huddled in Jack's Water Tribe parka once again.

"I feel so dizzy." Miko puts an ice pack on her head.

"Shey's the one that's freezing right now." Pema sits next to me.

"Can everyone just relax for a moment? Optimus said we don't have to participate for missions until our wounds heal."

Raf takes a tray from Optimus and passes out tea to everyone before he sits down in the circle with Ikki behind him. "Might as well, now that Megatron's back."

Sierra crosses her arms. "Is he really that bad?"

"Considering the fact that he intercepted Starscream's assassination attempt and how he screamed for mercy on his life, Megatron's probably worse than Ozai. Even if he IS my ancestor."

"Raf, he can't be that bad."

"Pema, you saw what was in his mind. He manipulated Bumblebee's mind and made him revive his own body. Raf's right, Megatron is ten times worse than Ozai."

"And now he's back. What are we going to do?"

We all hang our heads sadly. "Twinkletoes, you haven't said anything since you got back. You okay?" They look at me. I've been so busy thinking that I haven't even taken a sip of my tea.

"Shey, are you okay?"

I clutch my cup even tighter. I have to tell them the truth—all of it. I have to tell them about the visions in my dreams. "Guys, I have something to tell you."

"So you've been having nightmares about Unicron?"

"Who's Unicron?"

"Nightmares about a unicorn? That doesn't make any sense."

"UniCRON is the ultimate evil. And it's not just him, right?"

"Yeah. It's Vaatu too. Optimus knows I know about him, but he doesn't know he's haunting my dreams."

Pema and I climb onto Ikki and ride her home. Once we get up to our room, we pull out our pajamas and get changed. We're wearing orange hand sewn air nomad symbol printed nightgowns. "I'm so happy Bee's back to himself."

"I just don't see how you can understand him and I can't."

"It may have something to do with this." I slip the family's heirloom out of my shirt. "Optimus wouldn't tell me what it means, but maybe…"

"Or maybe I don't know him well enough." Pema shrugs.

I stand in front of the mirror and pull my nightgown against my stomach. "Pem, do you think I'm starting to show?"

"Not really. It's still a little early." Pema walks over. "Actually, on second thought, maybe a little."

"I thought so. My clothes are starting to feel a little snug. Mom only got me yellow and brown maternity wear, so you may be stuck wearing yellow for a few months…unless you want to go back to the way it was?"

"Scrap no! I can handle yellow. But I'll bet we'll have to drop out of swimming until the twins come."

"You don't have to, Pem. Come on, let's get to bed. It's an early start tomorrow."
