Nahko's POV

So Miko, Bulkhead and I are at the top of a rocky hill. Miko in the drivers seat, with her guitar in the seat behind her. "Ready, set..." Miko starts to say.

"Miko I'm supposed to be protecting you both" Bulkhead reminds her.

"Bulkhead, we're strapped tight inside ten tons of metal muscle" Miko says stroking the door. "We're protected" she assures him with a smile. I nod my head and he takes off down the hill. Miko and I cheer. It's great being able to bond with our chosen guardian.

(Time skip)

We meet up with the others and race to base. We came last, but it was fun. We all get out of our guardians and they transform. Though Miko forgot to grab her guitar. She apologized to Bulkhead as he handed it to her. "Autobots, prepare to..." Optimus starts to say.

"Roll out?" Arcee asks.

"Remain here. Ratchet, you'll come with me. Arcee, we'll be outside communications range for some time so I'm putting you in charge" he orders.

"Dude, You're biggest. You should be the boss!" Miko tells Bulkhead.

"Err, he never picks me" Bulkhead tells her sheepishly.

"Optimus With all due respect. Playing bodyguard is one thing; babysitting's another. Besides, Ratchet hasn't been in the fields since the war" Arcee states.

"My pistons may be rusting, but my hearing is sharp as ever!" Ratchet snaps.

"For the moment it's only reconnaissance" Optimus tells her.

"And why do I hear an edge in your voice?" she asks him.

"Arcee, much has changed in the last 24 hours, and we all need to adapt" Optimus tells her.
"Ratchet! Bridge us out!" he orders. Ratchet does so and they leave.

"OK, chief so, what's on the activities list?" Jack asks Arcee.

"I'm going on patrol" she states.

"But Optimus told us to stay" Bulkhead reminds her.

"When you are in charge you can call the shots. 'Bee! With me!" she orders.

"Ok" Bee beeps.

"Bulkhead, you're in charge" Arcee tells him. Then leaves with Bee, both in vehicle mode. Bulkhead looks down at us as Miko sets up her guitar.

"So what's on the activities list?" he asks us.

"How about band practice?" Miko suggests.

"But we are not a band" Raf tells her.

"Why so antisocial? Come on, Raf, do you play anything?" Miko asks him.

"Hmm keyboard?" he says sheepishly holding up his laptop.

"Laptops and samples, good! Nahko sings and plays bass. Jack?" Miko asks.

"I, sometimes mess around on the harmonica" he states. I laugh, my sister and I do not do country music.

"Do I look like I do country?" Miko demands. "Just cover yourself in fake blood and jump around screaming" she tells him. "Bulkhead! Percussion! We'll go for a big industrial sound. DIY, we are a band!" she declares. "You just need to learn the songs. This one's a ballad, 'My fist, your face'" she tells them and starts to play.

We barely started when the proximity sensor goes off. We hide behind Bulkhead. Only problem is, Miko is holding her guitar and it is still plugged into the amp. "Prime!" Fowler shouts as he enters the base.

"Agent Fowler. Uh. He's not here. Nobody's here. Except me, of course" Bulkhead rants.

"Wh-, where did he go? Wait, don't tell me, He's out pankacking a mini-mall!" Fowler accuses and I scowl. "Now, I don't know what language you 'Bots speak on your planet, but Prime promised he would handle the Decepticons, and blowing a crater in the middle of Nebraska is not what the word 'handle' means to me! So, you tell prime Since when are you, 'Bots, electric?" he asks seeing the cable.

I come out from behind Bulkhead with the others. "Hey! How are you doing?" Jack asks Fowler.

"Contact with civilians!" Fowler exclaims. "Team Prime has really gone off rules this time. Wait, don't tell me! You are running a day-care center?" he demands.

"Ok, that's enough" I snap glaring at him. "I am sick of the way you treat them, we are consultants helping them adapt to Earth. Like you should be instead of accusing them of every little thing that goes wrong or of destroying mini malls" I tell him. He storms down the stairs.

"OK Let's move! I'm taking all four of you into federal custody. For your own protection" he states. Bulkhead blocks his path with his foot and I smirk.

"We are protecting them" he states.

"Is that so?" Fowler demands heading for the phone. "Well, maybe you can explain that to my superiors at the Pentagon!" he states. Bulkhead breaks the phone with his finger.

"Don't use that phone! It's... Out of order" Bulkhead tells him.

"This isn't over, Big 'Bot, not by a long shot!" Fowler declares and leaves.

"I can't stand that guy!" I exclaim.

"You and me both" Bulkhead states. "You'd be a better human liaison" he tells me. I smile up at him. "So what do you guys want to do?" he asks. Before we could do anything Fowler gets kidnapped by the decepticons. Raf was able to triangulate his coordinates thanks to a tracking chip the government puts in all it's employees.

"OK, wait here" Bulkhead tells after activating the ground bridge to the coordinates Raf had given him.

"Oh, don't break up the band!" Miko complains.

"Jack, you're in charge!" Bulkhead states and goes through the portal. I was gonna stay put. But no, my little twin sister had to follow him and I was not letting her go alone. So I followed.

"You are in so much trouble when we get home" I snap lightly as the portal closes behind us. She ignores my comment. The burning burn flares up in my chest worse then ever. I gasp holding it and see a ship.

"The whole Decepticon shebang" Bulkhead states.

"Alright! What's the plan?" Miko asks him. As we hide behind boulders. I sit down leaning against the one Miko and I are behind. He looks at us shocked.

"Miko, Nahko!" he says. Suddenly a con appears aiming a gun at us. "Get down!" he yells at us and I tackle Miko to the ground away from the boulder as the con fires. Destroying the boulder. We then run as Bulkhead tackles the con. I was looking for a place for us to hide. But no Miko had to grab a rock and hit the con with it. Bulkhead grabs her and places her behind him. I run over to her.

He tells us to look away and we don't. He rips something out of the cons chest. I think it's their version of a heart. It would of made me gag if it's been a human or animal. "If we live through this Miko, I'll kill you" I snap.

"Oh we're fine, besides we're with Bulkhead" she states. He grabs us and we all hide behind a boulder. Bulkhead holding Miko and I in one hand. As my chest burn appears again without the adrenaline rush distracting me. I groan holding it. "Nahko" she says concern steadying me.

"Arcee, Bumblebee, do you read?" Bulkhead asks over the comms. "I have a situation" he states. "I'm at the decepticon warship, Fowler has been kidnap and I came to rescue him" he explains. "Only problem Miko and Nahko followed me" he adds.

"Correction, I followed Miko. She followed you" I tell him.

"What's the difference?" he asks me. "How are you feeling?" he asks me concerned as I wince in pain.

"I am beginning to think the burn in my chest is connected to your guys somehow. The more of you I am around, the more it burns" I tell him. "And now we're at the decepticon warship, which has how many Cybertronians?" I ask him.

"Don't know, never counted. But it'd be a lot" he states.

"I'm sorry you're in pain Nahko, I never wanted you to be hurt" Miko tells me sadly.

"I'll be ok Miko, it's already starting to fade a little" I assure her. And it is. I think it was just a shock to my system, but now everything is slowly returning to normal. It seems to be a warning system to them being near and once I am aware, it slowly returns to normal. Like nothing happened in the first place.

"What's taking Arcee and Bumblebee?" Bulkhead mutters.

"Dude, the cons could be putting the clamps on Fowler right now. Let's just storm the joint!" Miko tells him. Suddenly we see a familiar green vortex open.

"They're here!" Bulkhead says relieved. But it wasn't Bumblebee and Arcee. It was Jack and Raf. The portal closes behind them.

"Why don't those guys hang with their own 'Bots? This isn't one-on-one time" Miko complains.

"You mean two on one time" I tell her.

"Same thing" she says waving her hand dismissively. Just then the cons spot them and point their guns at them. "Scarp" the three of us say together.
