Nahko's POV

Optimus is doing well. Anyway, today we decided to teach the bots how to play basketball. Bulkhead and Bumblebee are playing one on one. Jazz called the winner. Currently Bee has the lob ball. Which is what they are using for the basket ball. "Basketball by way of Cybertron. Let the games begin" Miko says and blows the whistle.

Bee spins the ball on his finger. The throws it, aiming for the hoop. Bulkhead blocks it and throws the ball at Bee's hoop. Scoring the first point. "Yeah, go Bulk!" Miko cheers.

"One point to Bulkhead" I state.

"No clearly that was two points" Miko tells me.

"We're not scoring like that remember" Jazz reminds us. "It's best two out of three" he states. As Bulkhead retrieves the ball agreeing with Jazz.

"Come on. Best two out of three" he says. Tossing the ball to Bee, who catches it. He runs around Bulkhead heading for his hoop.

"Bee, you're in the clear!" Raf tells him. "Duck it, Bee!" he cheers. As Bee stops in front of the hoop looking at the ball in his hands. Not taking the shot.

"Bumblebee, quit hogging the ball" Bulkhead complains. Bee lobs the ball at Bulkhead. Who dodges it and Miko blows her whistle. As Jazz retrieves the ball.

"Eh, flagrant foul!" she yells.

"Dodge ball by way of Cybertron" Jack states and I laugh.

"Good one Jack" I tell him.

"Bee, the hoop is behind you" Jazz tells him. Bee looks at it.

"Opps, I am sorry" Bee buzzes.

"Bee? You okay?" Raf asks him concerned.

"I'm fine" Bee assures him. "Three out of five?" he asks.

"Yeah. Uh, three out of five" Raf agrees and Jazz hands the ball back to Bee. The game continues. Bulkhead won and then Jazz beat him.

It's Monday and I should be at school. But Ratchet had a note made for the school, saying I have a doctors appointment today. I don't get why he couldn't of checked me over yesterday when I was at base. I guess he was to focused on Optimus' recovery, he'd also made a couple doses of the cure for the plague. Encase anyone ever gets affected by it again.

Miko was super jealous. She wanted to ditch to come with me. But I told her no and Bulkhead agreed with me. So while Jazz took me to base, Bulkhead took a pouting Miko to school. Once we arrived, he carries me to the med bay. Where Ratchet scans me while Jazz chills against the wall. "The new metal shell seems to have spread over nearly all your body. Though it is still hardening, it's hardest around the shard and your left arm. Which is why they are piling first" he explains to me.

"I still haven't seen any metal" I tell him. He nods his head typing something. "Ratchet, I had a weird dream the other day. When Optimus got sick" I state.

"Weird how?" he asks.

"I saw Solus Prime" I answer and he freezes shocked.

"You sure gorgeous?" Jazz asks me.

"No, I mean it could of just been a dream. But she spoke to me" I state.

"What did she say?" Ratchet asks.

"Only that I agreed for her to save me after seeing Miko pleading for me to come back to her. She showed me the scene, I've never seen Miko so broken" I tell him. "She didn't expect the changes to happen so quickly and agrees with you that it's because I am around Cybertronians. And because Miko constantly puts herself in danger and I feel the need to protect her. So my body is becoming stronger" I explain.

"From what I've heard that sister of yours is a danger magnet" Jazz chuckles.

"Did Solus Prime say anything else Nahko?" Optimus asks as he enters the room.

"That they have been watching me, the Primes" I state. "But as I was waking up, she told me I am not alone and called me Nahko Prime" I explain. "But you two told me I wouldn't be a Prime" I add. "I haven't been chosen by Primus or the Matrix of Leadership. I just have Solus Prime's CNA in me and being turned into a techno-organic" I state.

"Whoa, I'm a guardian to a Prime" Jazz says.

"I'm not a Prime" I tell him annoyed.

"Best we keep this between us for the time being. Until we know more" Optimus states. "Everyone knows you are changing into a techno-organic, lets keep the possibility of you being a Prime to ourselves" he tells us. We all agree and he leaves the room.

"Well your check up is over, feel free to do as you please" Ratchet tells me and leaves.

"You ok?" Jazz asks me.

"I don't want to be a Prime Jazz, I may have agreed to be a techno-organic according to that ream I had. But I never agreed to being a Prime" I state.

"Which is why you may be choosen to be one" he states. "Look, Optimus never asked to be a Prime. In fact Megatron demanded to be given the title" he tells me.

"He did?" I ask shocked.

"Yep, but he was refused by the council. Who were moved by Optimus' words, they saw the potential in him to become a Prime. To be worthy of the title, Megatron did not like that and set out to take the title by force. Which is how the war started" he explains. "But Primus himself showed himself to Optimus and bestowed upon him the Matrix f Leadership, making him the Prime we know today" he states.

"Well I haven't seen Primus, or been bestowed the Matrix of Leadership" I remind him.

"Exactly, so even though she called you a Prime. You're not one until you're chosen by Primus or the Matrix of Leadership" he tells me.

"Thanks Jazz, you always know just what to say" I state. "Want to go for a drive?" I ask and he nods his head holding his hand out to me. I climb on and he places me on his shoulder. We leave the base and go for a drive.

We returned to base to find Bee in power down mode. Apparently he'd been seeing Megatron's face inside his head. Raf is here. We got a report from Fowler that the cons had stolen a lens from Hawaii. So Arcee, Optimus, Bulkhead and Jazz went after it in the Arctic. Leaving Ratchet at base with Raf, Bee and I.

I am doing the homework Raf had brought me from our teachers. While he talks to Bee. "So, I blow past the finish line. Then my other sister Pilar asked how I got so good at racing games.
And I told her I know a guy who knows cars" Raf explains.

"Rafael, I'm afraid Bumblebee can't hear you in power-down mode" Ratchet tells him. "It's getting late. Why don't I bridge you both home to your families?" he suggests.

"Because I told bee I'd stay. He's family, too" Raf tells him.

"Miko is covering for me with our host parents, so I am good for at least another hour" I tell him.

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

"That's being related. It's not the same thing" Raf tells him and pulls up a photo of his family on his phone. Showing it to Ratchet. "This is my family" he states.

"Mm hm, very nice" Ratchet mutters.

"Very large" Raf corrects him. "Sometimes I can shout and no one hears me. But Bumblebee always listens, so does Nahko. And I can understand Bee. I'm not sure why, as I am not special like Nahko. But I do" he explains.

"You are special Raf" I assure him. "Anyway, I'm going to the loo. You two play nicely" I tell them and Ratchet rolls his eyes at me. As I was returning to the med bay from the loo, I find Ratchet and Raf in the lobby with the ground bridge on.

"He was in power-down. Where does he think he's off to?" Ratchet asks.

"Bee's awake?" I ask.

"Yes, but he shouldn't be" Ratchet states.

"He went through the ground bridge" Raf adds.

"Where'd he go Ratchet?" I ask as I wrap an arm around Raf comfortingly.

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

"M-maybe we should call Optimus" Raf suggests.

"I agree" I add.

"Optimus is busy preventing a polar ice cap from melting. We need to handle this on our own" Ratchet tells us. Just then Bumblebee returns through the vortex. Holding a shard of dark energon. I start to feel woozy as I grip the guard rail. Bumblebee punches Ratchet in the face.

"Bee, what are you doing?" Raf asks him shocked.

"Stay behind me Raf" I say as push him behind me. "I don't know what the hell is wrong with you Bee, but snap out of it" I snap. He reaches for us and I punch his hand with my left one. "Back off!" I growl. He grabs Raf and I, and puts us on a drain vent high off the ground. No way we could get down without help. He then activates the ground bridge and leaves.

"Ratchet, you ok?" Raf asks as he wakes up.

"I'm fine. More importantly, is Bumblebee?" Ratchet asks us. "I fear the time spent in Megatron's mind-scape is causing him to think like a Decepticon" he states.

"Bee's not a con!" Raf and I snap at Ratchet.

"Agreed" he says and helps us down. "But we need to find out exactly what Bumblebee intends
to do with that shard. The only one who knew of the dark Energon. Was Megatron" he tells us.

"Bumblebee has Megatron's memories?" Raf asks

"Worse. Megatron is occupying Bumblebee's mind" Ratchet tells us.

"What?!" we exclaim shocked.

"How could I have been such a fool? The cortical psychic patch acted a two-way conduit. When Bumblebee returned to his own mind, Megatron followed. And now Bumblebee. Megatron. Has bridged to nearly the same coordinates Optimus used" Ratchet tells us. He places us down on the platform. He tells us to stay.

"No! Bumblebee needs me" Raf tells him.

"Of course he does" Ratchet agrees.

"I'll man the ground bridge, you two bring Bee home" I tell them. They nod and go through the bridge together. I close the portal behind them and wait to hear from them or Optimus. I have no idea how much time passed, but Optimus calls in first.

"Ratchet, we need a bridge" he states.

"You are not the only ones" Ratchet tells him.

"Is Bee ok?" I ask.

"Yes, bridge us home Nahko" Ratchet says. I do so and they all return. I close the bridge behind them. Ratchet explains what happened to Optimus and then gives Bee a check up, assuring us that Megatron is no longer present and that Bee is back to normal. Except now Megatron is back, which is not good. But Optimus and the others stopped Starscream from melting the Arctic, which is good.

Bee takes Raf home and Jazz takes me home. Needless to say Miko was so jealous when I told her about what happened with Bee, Megatron and the Arctic. She wish I had gone to get some photos, but I am not her.
