Good morning my amazing readers! Or goodnight for those of you about to go to sleep. If it's the middle of the day, then just plain hello. Welcome back for another amazing chapter! This one is going to have so crazy fun! So sit back, relax, and try not to cry too much.

Disclaimer: Still haven't picked up the rights to the Transformer World so I guess I still don't own anything that I write about hear. Maybe one day…

Chapter Ten:

The next couple weeks passed by relatively slow. The kids and I kept pretty busy with school, and I also had training to worry about as well. However, Ratchet had completely ceased our lessons together and I was too afraid to approach him about it. Anytime I was at the base, he would go anywhere that I was not. It hurt every time he saw me enter a room and he would immediately exit if possible.

First Aid had offered to pick up where he left off but I refused. If it wasn't Ratchet training me, I knew I would not be able to focus and get into the material. It would just hurt even more. Cliff tried to keep me distracted, adding in extra training and finally teaching me how to shoot firearms. It wasn't enough though and I soon found myself visiting the base less and less.

Jack and Miko both saw my deteriorating state and tried to help me in whatever way possible. I tried to put on a brave face, but I was just hurting too much. I missed Ratchet. I missed his wit, his intelligence, his sarcasm, his teaching, and his friendship. I even missed his surly bedside manner. I missed him. And it was even worse now that I was acknowledge the deep feelings I had for him.

I knew Cliff missed hanging out at the base. The only time we were really there was for training. We would go there when I got off of school, train for about three or four hours, then I would ask him to take me home. I told him he was free to go to the base without me anytime he wanted, but for some reason he was adamant that I was never alone.

I figured it had something to do with the Decepticons. After the encounter we had with Makeshift, Cliff had been a lot more… jumpy. He believed that I was in danger. I tried to tell him that just being associated with the Autobots put me in danger, but you know Cliff.

Anyway, it was going on week three of the whole Cold Shoulder Ratchet. Cliff had a mission that Optimus specially needed him for which meant I was stuck at the base. It was frustrating that I couldn't just go home, but like I said, Cliff was being a total mother hen. So I just sat on the couch in the main room and worked quietly on my homework. Ratchet and First Aid were discussing something but I couldn't really hear them. Sunstreaker was actually out for once, but I tried to ignore him. He was still an asshole.

I had to miss my classes because of Cliff's mission. Luckily Agent Fowler was pretty proficient at covering my disappearances when required. My parents believed I was at a conference in Greece. That meant I was pretty much stuck here at the base for the next week. I wasn't sure why they had to make it so long but they weren't sure how long Cliff would be gone. Ratchet refused to 'babysit', as he so eloquently put it, me and Sunstreaker hated my guts. I tried to get them to let First Aid be my temporary guardian, but he wasn't really a warrior. He hated fighting, it was why he became a medic in the first place.

Since I didn't go to the high school, Bulkhead and Arcee was out of the question. I didn't understand why one or the other couldn't've gone with me, but according to Cliff, Miko's unpredictability made it dangerous for Bulkhead to be separate from her. Arcee, well, she preferred Jack. She vehemently refused to guard anyone else, and honestly I'd rather not deal with a pissed off femme. The two of us didn't always get along. I couldn't understand Bee so Optimus didn't want him with anyone but Raf.

So yeah, that's how I got stuck at the base for a whole week, with two bots who wanted nothing to do with me and another I barely knew. It was going to be a looong week.

I kept glancing at the clock, waiting for it to strike three because I knew that meant Jack and Raf would soon be here. Miko had detention today so I didn't expect to see her until later tonight. She pretty much lived for getting in trouble.

My homework was becoming increasingly boring. I'd been staring at the same math equation for the passed half hour and it wasn't making any sense. Finally, I groaned and slammed the book closed. "When am I ever going to use these stupid equations again when I graduate college? I bet you I'll never have to give the inverse of a function when I'm changing bed pans." I muttered to myself annoyed.

"The fleshy seems to be angry all the time. She reminds me of Ironhide." Sunstreaker suddenly spoke up and I shot him a heated glare.

"You've never had to take ridiculous college classes on subjects you don't even need for your future profession. I want to be a nurse, not a math nerd. Why do I have to know all of this? The education system is seriously flawed." I hissed.

Sunstreaker looked unimpressed. "I do not care about your primitive Earth schooling."

"Then shut up and leave me alone." I growled before leaning further into the couch and covering my face with my hands. My stress levels were seriously through the roof. I needed a drink. I wish they had a beer or something that I could get my hands on. But no, Ratchet wouldn't even let us have soda. He said it was bad for our bodies. So water and sugar free juices were all that we had.

"Will you two stop bickering like sparklings." Ratchet grouched and I rolled my eyes while Sunstreaker huffed. I looked at the clock and noticed that it was only a ten after one. I groaned again and pushed myself off the couch. "I'm gonna go work out, if anyone cares. Doubt you do though so whatever." I grumbled aloud as I climbed down the stairs to the main floor.

No one gave me a second look as I walked down the hallway and towards the training room. I didn't really want to work out but I couldn't stand another second of being up front. Between the tense atmosphere with Ratchet and I, and Sunstreaker's less than charming demeanor, I was seriously losing my mind. A good run on the treadmill might help put me at ease. So I changed into my work out clothes, plugged in my headphones to my phone and put on some tunes, and began jogging on the human sized treadmill.

I ran for a good twenty minutes. Honestly though, my heart wasn't in it. I could run for hours, but I really just didn't want to. I didn't know what I wanted to do.

Stopping the treadmill, I got off and sat down on a nearby bench, yanking my headphones from my ears. Across the room, there was a mirror and I looked into it at my reflection. Staring back at me was a girl I hardly recognized. When I first came to Jasper, I'd been this shy, awkward girl who couldn't trust anyone because protecting myself was more important than anything else.

Now, well, I was still shy, and awkward, and reserved, but I was so much more. I had a family in Jack, Miko, Raf and the Autobots. I had Cliffjumper, someone I could trust to tell all my secrets too. I had powers, unbelievable powers that had brought my guardian and best friend back to life. I was someone who was important. Yet, I didn't feel like it. I still pushed people away and let my insecurities get the best of me. I hurt someone I loved.

God. I loved someone.

Not just anyone. I loved an alien.

I didn't know how to love someone. I could barely love myself on a good day. After so many years of people looking at me like I was a freak, and treating me like I was something to hide and fear, I began to think of myself as they believed. I was a freak. I was something to hide away distrustfully. I was weird. I had issues. I didn't deserve the people I had in my life.

And yet, despite these thoughts going through my head, I knew they weren't even remotely true. Because I had people in my life now who loved me. They didn't see me as a freak. They admired my powers and they believed that I was meant for something greater. I wasn't weird to them, I was important. I didn't have issues, I had a gift. I deserved to be in their lives and to be loved by them.

So why did I continue to push them away and not let them in? Why didn't I tell Jack, Miko and Raf what happened to me? Why didn't I explain to Ratchet that my past prevented me from completely opening up to anyone. Because the last time I had truly been myself, I was locked away in a mental institution by the people I thought had loved me more than anything.

I wanted to let him in, let them all in. I just didn't know how.

"This doesn't look like working out, fleshy? Or does sitting on a bench, wallowing in self pity count as a work out for you humans?" Sunstreakers voiced interrupted my thoughts. I looked over to see him standing in the doorway.

"What do you want?" I asked frostily.

Sunstreaker shrugged and walked into the room. He went over and sat down on an Autobot sized bench that was directly in front of me. "Got bored of listening to Hatchet and First Aid talk science. So I figured I could come in here and bug you. Didn't realize you were leaking lubricants from your eyes though. Isn't that a thing you humans do when you're sad?"

I reached up and touched my cheek, surprised to feel that it was wet. I hadn't realized I was crying. "It's called crying. Humans can cry when their sad or when their happy. Some even cry when they're angry. It can happen anytime one feels a powerful emotion." I explained with a sigh. I didn't know why I was wasting my breath though. Sunstreaker didn't care about human biology. He hated us.

"Humans are strange creatures." He frowned.

"Yeah, yeah, I know you hate us. Look, I'm really not in the mood to be ridiculed for something I have no control over. So can you please just leave me alone." I begged, a lump forming in my throat. I knew I was one insult away from total meltdown.

Sunstreaker looked away and glared at a wall. "I'm not here to insult you, fles- Jessica." I looked up, surprised that he had used my real name. I don't think he'd used any of the humans real names since he arrived on Earth. "Look, I don't know what went down with you and Ratchet, but according to the others, you're both miserable. So why don't you do us all a favor and make up already." He grumbled irritably.

"It's not that easy, Sunstreaker. For one, he's been avoiding me for the past three weeks. I've tried apologizing but he's not ready to forgive me and I can't blame him for that. I made my bed, now I need to lie in it." I explained to him, looking down at my feet miserably.

"What does your furniture for sleeping have to do with any of this?" Sunstreaker growled, annoyed. I sighed and explained that it was just an expression. "Look, nothing is ever going to change if the two of you don't get off your afts and talk to one another. I'm half tempted to lock you in a closet together until you make up!"

"Don't you dare!" I warned when I saw a mischievous look in his optics. "Why do you even care about the state of Ratchet and I's relationship."

Sunstreaker scoffed. "I really couldn't care any less. However, I know that if my brother were here, he'd want to help. He always was the nice one. Figured I could channel him for a few minutes. Don't expect me to continue being nice, nor will I admit this conversation ever took place."

The golden mech suddenly stood up and left the room without another word. I watched him go, my thoughts reeling at what just happened. Sunstreaker and I just had a conversation that didn't end in a screaming match. That never happened. We always butted heads. I'm pretty sure the others made bets each time we got into an argument about who would win. It was usually fifty-fifty. We were both pretty vicious.

Still, I did feel oddly better.

I looked over at the clock and saw that it was twenty till three. The others would be here soon. Thank the good lord above.

Raf and Jack arrived with their guardians just passed three. I skipped over to my human friends and hugged both of them. "Hey guys, how was school?" I asked with a grin. Jack and Raf returned it with amused ones.

"Pretty good, but I have a mountain of homework." Raf replied and Jack agreed with him. We walked up the stairs to the second level and gathered around the coffee table. I decided since they were there, I should probably work on mine as well. After all, Raf was pretty much a genius, he could help me with my homework.

We worked in silence for a good twenty minutes when we were interrupted by the sound of an engine. All of us looked up, surprised to see Bulkhead pulling in with Miko. I could've sworn Bulkhead mentioned she had detention today. As soon as Bulkhead came to a stop, Miko hopped out, her expression annoyed. Bulkhead transformed as soon as she was clear. "You sound like my parents!" Miko huffed.

"Aren't they Japanese?" Bulkhead asked, looking confused.

"They may speak a different language, but they say the same things." Miko retorted snobbishly. Bulkhead looked annoyed now. "Because we want the best for you! And that means making sure you go to school! Not jail!"

"Miko, what did you do?" I asked, trying not to look amused at their bickering. Miko shrugged her shoulders and nonchalantly said that she had ditched detention. "You realize that they're just going to give you another one for skipping this one, right?"

She stuck her tongue out at me and I rolled my eyes at her immaturity. "Look Miko, before I became a warrior, I was a labourer- construction. I can build stuff, I can break stuff. And that's it." Miko didn't seem to get his message and said she loved breaking things and wanted to be just like him. "Oh… Why do you wanna be like me when you can be one of those human nurses that Jessica is studying to be?"

"That sounds boring."

"I'm detecting a fresh energon pulse from the nation called Greece." Ratchet announced, interrupting their conversation before it could go any further. I thought it was pretty funny that it was located in Greece when my parents literally believed that was where I was at the moment. "An ancient city, quite historic, I believe."

"Ancient Greece, huh. Oh field trip!" Bulkhead grinned at Miko.

"Can I tag along? My parents think I'm in Greece so at least if I step foot in there, I won't be completely lying. Plus I'm getting stir crazy in here." I inquired hopefully.

"Absolutely not!" Ratchet objected. I caught a small glimpse of something in his optics but he quickly fixed it with a cool glare. "It is too dangerous. The Decepticons are after you and I will not allow someone with your powers to be put within their reach."

I tried not to huff in indignation. "Come on! It's just a simple recon trip. I doubt there will even be able Cons around. I'm not going to sit around the base everyday, Ratchet."

Ratchet was about to further argue with me when Sunstreaker interrupted him. "Let the fleshy go, Hatchet. I'll accompany Bulkhead and keep an eye on her. If any Decepticons show up, we'll call a bridge and send her through immediately. She's not a child. You can't keep her locked up forever."

The Autobot medic stared blankly at Sunstreaker, shocked that he stood up for me. Everyone was looking at him in disbelief, myself included. Bulkhead was the first to break the silence. "She'll be fine Ratchet. Between the two of us, we can keep her safe."

"Fine." He grumbled, but he didn't look happy about it. "And don't call me Hatchet, Sunstreaker."

Ratchet opened the bridge and the four of us walked through it. When we emerged on the other side, it was to what looked like ancient ruins. Honestly I thought it was all pretty cool looking. "Sweet! So what are we doing in Wreck-O-Ville?" Miko asked her guardian with a grin. Bulkhead took some sort of scanning device out.

"Sunstreaker and I are scouting for energon. You're doing research for your history report. Jessica, feel free to walk around and stretch your legs a bit. Just stay close." Bulkhead replied to Miko. She pouted and told him, very loudly, that it wasn't cool that he punked her. Bulk ignored her and began walking around, following the signal on the device thingie. All three of us followed after him. "Signals strong." He muttered, leading us over to some pillars, machines, and a neat looking mural. "An excavation site!"

"That's pretty cool." I admired the painting and Miko agreed with me.

"According to my scanner, humans hit energon veins and they didn't even know it." We all got a closer look at the painting. "That's Cybertronian!"

I frowned, recognizing the little yellow ball from a lesson Ratchet had given me a couple months back on ancient Cybertronian relics. "Isn't that an Energon Harvester? Why would the Ancient Greeks have something like that?"

"You know what an Energon harvester is?" Sunstreaker asked me, looking mildly impressed. He'd never admit it though. Miko took a picture of the painting. "You are actually smarter than I thought." I grinned at his compliment. He really was full of surprises today. "For a human, at least."

"Humans are insignificant little bugs." A new voice weighed in. We all turned around and saw a Decepticon that I didn't recognize standing there. Bulkhead hissed the name 'Breakdown' and the way he said it implied that the two of them didn't have a very good history. "Miss me?" The Con laughed and Bulkhead growled. "Like rust in my undercarriage." He snarled his reply. Definitely wanted to know their story.

"Ratchet, we got a Con." Sunstreaker tried to call for a bridge, but the signal was scrambled.

"Sorry terror twin, but I always carry a signal jammer." Breakdown jeered. "I see you brought a couple of pets, Bulkhead. Sunstreaker, is one of them a replacement for your missing twin. Last I heard, Sideswipe was a prisoner and being tortured by Scalpel himself."

Sunstreaker growled at the mention of his brother. "Now then, does your little pets play fetch?" Breakdown asked before breaking up a pillar and aiming it at Miko and I. "Catch!" He threw it at us. I pulled Miko behind me and braced for impact. It never came though.

"Miko, Jessica, stay down!" Bulkhead warned us. He had thrown himself in the path of the pillar and it smashed to pieces. I grabbed Miko's hand and pulled her away from the fight so that we could hide. Bulkhead and Sunstreaker both engaged the Decepticon.

They held their own pretty well. Breakdown had a difficult time fighting off two Autobots at once, especially ones as skilled as these two. Finally though, he managed to get a good hit on Bulkhead, throwing the bot into the wall and destroying the picture. "Oops, hope the pretty picture wasn't too important." Breakdown smirked before transforming and driving away. Miko and I came out of our hiding spots as soon as he was gone from view.

"Told you I'm good at breaking things." Bulkhead laughed slightly. Sunstreaker offered him a hand, helping him stand back up. Then the gold mech called Ratchet for a bridge.

"I'll always have your back, Bulk. Got us a picture of the picture." Miko grinned, showing off her phone.

XxRebelWriterxX

Ratchet bridged us back to the base and everyone gathered around the computer. Miko had sent the photo to the silos computer so we could look at a blown up version of the picture. Optimus had come back but Cliff was still nowhere to be seen. When I asked Optimus where he was, he informed me that Cliff was still out on the mission. I was worried but i knew my guardian could take care if himself.

"It is indeed an Energon Harvester. A tool created by the ancients to remove raw energon from any nearby source." Optimus confirmed gravely. Raf looked pretty confused, so he asked if Greek God's knew Cybertronians. "No. The ancients often used the art of a given era to conceal messages. This fresco was likely a signpost indicating a harvests location hidden somewhere on this planet." Prime explained.

"Wait wait, you said this thing can remove Energon from any nearby source, and you guys are full of this stuff…" I trailed off, my eyes widening in horror.

"In Decepticon hands, the harvester would be a devastating weapon."

Oh crap. "See, you were a genius to destroy that painting." Miko grinned at Bulkhead. Arcee crossed her arms. "Miko's not wrong. How can the Cons find the harvester without the fresco."

I copied her gesture and frowned. "Simple, all you need is high speed internet. Humans like to document everything, especially cool ancient stuff. No doubt that painting has been photographed. Heck, I bet you they even have the harvester in some museum." I pointed out.

"Jessica is right. If you search 'Greek God' and 'Golden Orb' this pops up. It's in a museum." Raf turned his computer to face us, showing the website of the museum that had the harvester. No doubt the Cons had access to the Internet and might even be on their way to get it now.

"That the real deal?" Arcee asked Optimus. Prime nodded and looked over to Ratchet. "Call Agent Fowler."

Ratchet pulled up Fowler information and sent the command to call him. The phone didn't even ring before going to voicemail. "You've reached Special Agent William Fowler. I'm currently on an intensive training retreat and unavailable until Tuesday." The phone hung up and Ratchet looked super annoyed.

"I hate talking to machines." He grumbled and I couldn't stop the giggle that followed his words. Oh the irony. Ratchet looked over at me, his eyes intense and I heart fluttered in my chest. I held his gaze for a moment before looking sadly down at my feet, cheeks flushing.

"Without Agent Fowlers direct aid, we will have to confiscate the harvester on our own." Optimus decided, much to our surprise.

"Wait, you mean confiscate as in stealing. Stealing museum property? Isn't that a little illegal, Optimus?" I asked, feeling wary. The Autobots have always been about adhering to human laws. They didn't want to give the humans a reason to send them away, leaving us at to the fate of the Decepticons.

"I do not wish to break human law. But once the Decepticons learn of the harvesters location, they will not hesitate to obtain it with any means necessary. We must act covertly." Optimus explained. That made sense I suppose.

"No offense Optimus, but covertly and giant robots don't go well together. Museums are public. And they have guards and security cameras." Jack pointed out. He was right. The Autobots did have their holoforms, but the Cons could easily send a signal to cancel those out and get away with the harvester. Miko and I both agree with Jack. "No problem, we're small enough to sneak in and we're not a government secret." Miko added.

"I'm not sure that's wise Miko." Bulkhead frowned.

"But it may be our best option, Bulkhead." Optimus decided. "The longer we debate, the more time we give the Decepticons."

"Don't worry, Bulk, I'm going too. I have training after all, it's time I put it to good use." I assured the green mech. Ratchet, however, did not like that idea.

"You cannot go with them. There will undoubtedly be Decepticons there. We cannot afford for them to get ahold of you." He informed me and I tried not to roll my eyes in frustration. Why did they insist on treating me as some helpless little child when I had training to avoid Decepticon capture.

I wasn't sitting this out. "No offense, but I'm not a helpless child. I can handle myself out there, Ratchet. I can't spend the rest of my life hiding away here. I need to fight. Yes, I'm your Allspark and I have unimaginable powers, but I'm also human. I'll do everything I can to avoid Decepticons but I'm not going to stand by while actual children ran headlong into battle." I argued back.

Ratchet was glaring at me, but I could see how desperate he was to keep me here. Well no dice dude. You're the one who's decided we're no longer friends, so you didn't get a say.

Everyone was looking between the two of us, unsure of what to say next. I wasn't going to give in though. Ratchet sighed then, lowering his head in desperation. "I can't lose you." He finally said and my heart clenched. I definitely had not expected him to say that. I've never seen him look so vulnerable. He still ignored me for weeks.

"Really? After weeks you have to do this now?" I looked down at the floor for a moment before I pushed my shoulder back and glared resoundly. "I'm going. You guys can try to stop me, but I'll just leave. I am not your prisoner."

Ratchet didn't say another word, instead he marched passed me and down the hall. First Aid looked after him then back at me before following after his mentor. "Well… that was intense." Miko commented and I shot her a glare. She shrugged.

"What's the plan?" I asked Optimus. He was staring at me curiously, something gleamed in his optics. He understood though that I was not backing down. Finally he began a run down of what he expected we would need to do. I listened as well as I could but my thoughts kept shifting back to Ratchet. He was confusing the hell out of me. One minute he wanted nothing to do with me, the next he was trying to control my life. What was his deal? I really wanted to talk to Cliffjumper. He would know what to say.

Ratchet and First Aid came back in as soon as Prime was wrapping out his plan. Ratchet was avoiding my eyes and I didn't know how to feel about that. I really missed talking to him. With the coordinates entered, Optimus, Bulkhead, Bee and Arcee all transformed and drove into the groundbridge portal.

The others and I were waiting at the entrance, standing on a yellow forklift. It would be used to carry the orb since it was supposedly pretty heavy. I looked over at Sunstreaker, who decided to stay back this time. He was twirling a giant dagger in his servos, a far off look in his optics. Somehow I knew he was thinking about his twin and that Decepticons words. Ratchet had briefly told me about Scalpel during one of our lessons. The Con was a nasty piece of work and he was pretty famous at torturing bots to the brink of death and then bringing them back to torture more. I really hoped, for Sunstreakers sake, that Breakdown had been lying.

"Jack, Rafael, Miko, and Jessica, I will have a clear view of you. Once you secure the harvester, I will contact Ratchet and he will bridge you back to base." Optimus explained over the comlink Cliffjumper had given me months ago.

Ratchet activated the groundbridge. "Now, since you'll bypass all normal points of entry, you won't have to worry about setting off the alarm. But take care to avoid any security guards." Ratchet warned us before his eyes met mine for the first time since our argument a bit ago. "And please, be careful."

I nodded my head, silently promising him I would. "Thank you, Ratchet." I smiled weakly. He didn't return it but that was okay. Jack started up the lift and drove us forward into the bridge. I couldn't help but turn back to look at Ratchet one last time. He kept eye contact with me all the way through, until we disappeared from sight and appeared into the museum.

The first thing we saw was a skeleton of a tyrannosaurus rex. "Cool." I whispered with a smile. I loved dinosaurs so much. Velociraptors were by far my favorite. The golden orb was situated close to the skeleton so we luckily didn't have to go very far. "Opa." Miko whispered with a satisfied smile. I peered out the windows where I could see Optimus's alt-form. He flashed his headlights three times, indicating that it was safe to begin the switch.

We quickly got to work. First things first, we needed to make sure the camera didn't see us. Jack rose the forklift up towards the camera. Once we were in position, Miko took a picture of the exhibit with her phone and carefully slid it into place. The three of us looked over at Optimus again before slowly moving the lift towards the statue that held the orb. As soon as we got to it, the four of us worked together to get it off. The sound of glass cracking caught our attention and when we looked over at Optimus again, it was in horror.

He was peering into the museum, fully transformed and holding something that kind of looked like a missile to his side. We he turned to face the outside again, he was jammed in the neck with some sort of energon prod. I could see the electricity coursing through his body and he writhed in pain. "It's Cons!" Raf gasped.

"They got Optimus!" Jack exclaimed. "Shit, we need to hurry guys!" I gulped, the curse word slipping out despite being surrounded by children.

Optimus was now laying flat on his stomach and the Con on top of him stabbed him again with the energon prod. I then noticed another vehicle was speeding towards the museum… a familiar vehicle. "Miko, I think that Breakdown dude is back." I grabbed her arm and pointed towards the Con. Bee and Arcee came riding around the corner, rushing towards Breakdown. He stopped and shot two missiles. Bee transformed in order to try and miss it, but he went rolling. Arcee swerved and lost control, slamming into Bee.

The museum shook slightly and Bulkhead jumped down from the roof and rushed the Con. Breakdown transformed and punched Bulk, sending him flying backwards and into the other Decepticon. The slammed into the museum wall, triggering the alarm. Luckily the force of their hit managed to knock the harvester loose and it fell into the forklift. "Let's get out of here!" I blurted and the others agreed.

Jack lowered the lift and Miko jumped out to scout ahead. We followed after her slowly. Miko ran around a corner and hit a button to open a garage door. She rolled underneath it and stood to look around but she was blindsided by a flashlight. Luckily Jack had seen the guard and had pulled the lift back behind the wall. "Uh… wassup?" Miko greeted nervously.

The guard looked unimpressed. "Better come with me, miss." He said as he grabbed her wrist and basically threw her into the office. That's not good.

We heard the sound of a Cybertronian walking and spotted legs on the other side of yet another garage door. "Arcee?" Jack called. I watched as a hand reached under and pulled the door open. That was definitely not Arcee.

"Soundwave." I gulped as the Con's visor turned to look at us. He reached forward and grabbed the harvester. We obviously couldn't stop him. But then, the Con looked at me. Soundwave grabbed me and I yelped in surprise. "Hey what the hell? Let me go, ugly." I sneered, beating my fists on his arms.

"Jessica!" Jack and Raf cried out. The Decepticon transformed and, since he was a drone, I was basically tied up by some sort of energy rope thing right about the harvester. I gulped when I looked down. He took off quickly, probably off to the Decepticon warship. I could barely make out the Autobots has as they faded from view. The only thing I could think about was how absolutely pissed off Ratchet was going to be. He and Cliff were never going to let me leave the base again.

That is, if I ever managed to get free.

And that, folks, is where we end it. Yes, yes, I'm well aware there's more to the episode. But this was just the perfect place for me to stop this episode. Don't worry, I'm sure the Autobots will eventually get the Orb back. Right now though, their main worry is going to be getting their Allspark back! Will they manage to free Jessica? What will Ratchet and Cliff's reactions be to discovering her abduction? Will Jessica and Ratchet ever make up already? Stay tuned for more, my friends! Until the next chapter! PEACE!
