Hunt for the Keys Begins
(Legacy) Nahko's POV
So earlier today, Jazz and I went driving. Smokescreen decided to tag along. We were actually racing. The destination with an energon signal Ratchet had set us the location of. Smokescreen broke the speed limit though and nearly ran into another vehicle. The driver jumped out to threaten Smokescreen, who promptly transformed and threatened him back. I got out of Jazz who also transformed. Who tried to calm down Smokescreen while I tried to talk to the person. Who ignored me and took photo of the two autobots.
We're back at base now about to be lectured by the others. I told Jack about the picture and he found it online. "Found it. Old road rage didn't waste any time posting your mug shoots. Raf will scrub this as soon as he's back from house hunting" Jack states.
"I'll do it now" I tell him and scrub it. Replacing it with a dog and cat napping together.
"Is this what you learned while serving Alpha Trion?! I highly doubt that he would have condoned such irresponsible behavior" Ratchet rants.
"Blowing your cover is not okay" Arcee adds.
"You should know better Jazz" Bee beeps.
"I know, I should have left it to Nahko. I'm sorry" Jazz states.
"I'm sorry also guys" Smokescreen tells us. "I know I really messed up" he adds hanging his head.
"While Ratchet, Bumblebee, and Arcee are correct. I believe that we are all equally responsible for this incident" Optimus states.
"Us?" Arcee asks.
"How?" Ratchet demands.
"We weren't even there" Bulkhead states and Bee beeps in agreement. "Well, Jazz and Nahko were" he adds. Jazz and I give him a pointed look.
"Our recent efforts have been so intensely focused on averting crises that we have overlooked simple matters, such as teaching Smokescreen how to best function on this planet. It is an oversight that must be corrected" Optimus explains.
"You're right" I agree.
"Optimus, ma'am I'm honored to train under you both and will do whatever it takes to make things right, to make you both proud" Smokescreen states.
"Enough with the ma'am!" I snap and Jazz chuckles. "Zip it Jazz" I snap at him.
"Perhaps the best way for you to learn about the human world, is from a human" Optimus tells Smokescreen.
"Well I wouldn't trust my sister with that and I am to tall to do it. Raf is busy relocating with his family. So that leaves Jack" I state.
"My thoughts exactly" Optimus says nodding his head.
"Um sure, Optimus and Nahko. Um, robots in disguise, traffic laws, don't beat down humans I can bring Smokescreen up to speed" Jack assures us.
"We've all put in curbside duty. Part of the gig" Bulkhead tells Smokescreen.
"It's a little boring, but necessary" Jazz states.
"Then lets go for a drive teach" Smokescreen states. He transforms and opens his drivers side do. Jack gets in and closes it. They let base together.
"Nahko, Optimus, with all due respect, Agent Fowler is out relocating Raf's family. Because the decepticons found out where he lives. Meanwhile. Smokescreen in all his wisdom, chooses a vehicle mode with screaming double "38s" on the doors, making him an easy target. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't more than concerned about Jack's safety" Arcee tells us.
"Nonetheless, the fact remains that our new recruit is in need of instruction. I believe that Smokescreen's spark is in the right place and that he now understands the necessity of protecting humanity" Optimus assures her.
"Don't worry, I'm sure Jack can handle teaching Smokescreen. But just encase, Jazz go watch them and maintain your cover" I tell him.
"Sure thing ma'am" he says teasingly. Before I could throw something at him. He transformed and speed out of the base. I grumble crossing my arms.
"You really hate being called that, don't you?" Bulk asks me.
"I'm a teenage girl, what do you think?" I ask him rhetorically. "Anyway, Ratchet isn't it time for my listen?" I ask him. He nods his helm and I fly over to him. We begin my lesson in Cybertronian. I am picking it up a bit quicker then Raf, only because I have the primes helping me. They had also be helping learn coding, so that I can help Optimus decode the Iacon databare. But lets just say, my coding is no where near as good as Raf's.
So lets just say Smokescreen's first day of training didn't go as well as expected. Yes, he passed drivers ed. But Jack also thought it'd be fun to teach Smokescreen everything he never needed to know about fast food. As well as prank the school bully Vince with him. Seriously, I was hoping Jack would be a good influence on Smokescreen. Not Smokescreen be a bad influence on Jack. At least no one was harmed during the prank.
The next day, Ratchet picked up a homing beacon for an Iacon relic. Optimus, Arcee, Bee, and Bulkhead went to investigate. As Smokescreen and Jazz were out with Jack. Even though it wasn't required, I decided to finish the decoding Optimus had nearly finished. As I did another beacon appeared at the location I had just finished decoding. Ratchet tried to contact the others as Jazz, Smokescreen and Jack return. All three were laughing.
"Will you three keep it down? Arcee? Bulkhead? Can anyone hear me?" Ratchet asks.
"Ratchet what's going on?" Jack asks.
"Our sensors detected a second Iacon-locator beacon at the coordinates I just finished decoding. But we can't reach Optimus or the others" I tell him.
"We'll go" Jazz and Smokescreen state. Ratchet activates the bridge for them.
"Jazz you're in charge on the mission, call if you need back up. We'll continue to try contact Optimus and the others" I tell him. He nods his head and I head over to Ratchet. "Anything I can do?" I ask him.
"No, but you can make a start on the next coordinates" he tells me. I groan, I suck at decoding.
'I will help you young one' Alpha Trion tells me. I relax and go back to Optimus' work station. I get started on the next set of coordinates. Neither Ratchet or I noticed that Jack was missing. Until he calls saying Jazz and Smokescreen are in trouble. Saying the relic is the Star Saber. 'It will only move for a Prime' he tells me.
"Where in the name of Cybertron are you? And did you say "Star Sabe"?" Ratchet asks.
"I think he meant Star Saber" I tell him.
"Oh, my. Jack!" he shouts. No response. "Optimus, please respond!" he pleads. "I can see that you're alive, Optimus. Why won't you answer me?" he asks himself.
"Ratchet, I may have to go. The star saber will only move for a Prime and if you can't get a hold of Optimus" I tell him. He sighs and activates the bridge.
"Becareful Nahko" he tells me. I nod and run through. Once through I stick to the rocks and see Jazz & Smokescreen had been taken to Megatron. I wanted to help them, but my mission was to retrieve the star saber. I hope Ratchet can get a hold of the others soon. I see the star saber embedded in the mountain side. Which the Nemesis is trying to move. In fact it's already in the air.
I curse, I'd have to fly to it and pray I wasn't spotted. I take off towards it. I reach it as Optimus and the others appeared. Thank Primus. I focus back on the relic and grab the handle. I pull with all my might and it slides out as the blade glowed blue. But lets just say, it was heavier then I thought it'd be. I started falling with it, but Optimus appeared and caught us both. We land safely on the ground.
"Are you alright Nahko?" he asks me.
"Yeah, thanks for the save" I tell him. "I think this belongs to you" I add handing him the star saber. He takes it as I hop out of his hand. "Optimus look out!" I shout as I see the mountain falling towards us. He swings the star saber around and a wave of blue energy flies from it. Cutting the mountain in two and it misses us.
He then looks up at the Nemesis. "Stand back" he tells me and I do so. He swings around and sends a wave of energy at the Nemesis. Damaging it, but it still managed to fly away. When we got back Smokescreen got a lecture for letting Jack tag along. Jazz had left before and had no idea Jack come along until the portal closed. Still he should have called me or Ratchet so that we could have bridged Jack back. Speaking of Jack, Ratchet sent him home by ground bridge.
I am sitting on Optimus' shoulder. He still has the star saber. Which suddenly glows and I am pulled into a vision with Optimus. It was a message from Alpha Trion. There is a way to rebuild Cybertron. But we have to get the next four relics in order to do so. The hunt for the Omega Keys has began.
