Darkness Rising Part 2

A typical morning routine between the Nakadai sibling's consisted of a snoring Miko who slept peacefully besides Mika. She was positioned so that her loudly snoring face was the first thing Mika saw in the morning's and it was this exact face that got smashed by her sibling's hand as the alarm for school blared loudly. With a muffled yelp, Miko found herself being shoved out of bed and onto the floor in a tangle of blankets and limbs, body laying undignified in a heap. 

"What was that for!?" She quickly sat up, her hair disheveled and out of their usual buns; reigning freely over her face while Mika laughed. Her brown eye's glared heatedly to her giggling twin as she sat up on her elbows and when she attempted her retort, they heard the voice of their host mother shouting up to them to 'hurry up' or else 'no breakfast'. If you could even call it that.

Mika quickly got up, sneaking out of the window in her sister's room and managed to shimmy her way across the roof to her own room before hopping into the window and making her way to her closet. She picked a black shirt with the words 'Yeah, lets go with your idea and do it the dumbest way possible.' over light faded blue jeans that were ripped at the knee's. She quickly made her way into the bathroom to brush her teeth before attempting to tame her purple and black locks. When that was complete, Mika grabbed her converse's and opened her door, running into Miko who quickly shoved her sister's glasses onto her face. 

Mika could see alright with out her glasses, it's just everything was kind of blurry with out them.

The two ran down the stair's of the house, trying not to trip over the other, and was greeted by the glare of their host mother with two bowls of plain, flavorless oatmeal. When the woman was sure the miscreant's were seated at the table, she left the room. Once Miko was sure the old bat was gone, she shoved the food out the window for the dog to eat. The dog, a fat English bulldog named Xavier, was grateful for any type of food and gobbled up anything his favorite human's gave him. Mika, while her twin fed the dog the usual daily slop, snuck into their secret stash and pulled out a box of cereal and a carton of milk before pouring the cereal, Captain Crunch, inside of their prospective bowls. The twins ate in silence for a while, until their host mother came back just as they finished and sent the two outside to wait for the school bus.

Standing, annoyed at the early morning chill and the long wait for said school bus, Mika pulled out a piece of pocky and munched on it just as Miko pulled out dual headphones for the two of them to listen to music. While Mika wasn't into the kind Miko was as much, she still liked listening and the two ended up sitting down on the sidewalk as the music played. Music blaring in their ears and their feet taping to the tune, the two were unaware of their surroundings and so they were unaware of the group of student's that were making their way over to the bus stop.

"Would you look at who it is." One sneered to the rest of the group.

"I think their music's too loud to hear us Marco." Another commented.

Marco Santiago, a half Mexican and half German boy that went to their school, glared to the two girls who were sucked into their music before a smirk set upon his lips. The teen moved away from his groupie's before sneaking up behind the girl's and yanked the headphones off of their heads, snickering as they protested. "Well, well." He started as they quieted. "If it isn't the local freaks." 

"Who you callin' a freak Marcy?" Miko growled as she stood up, snatching her headphones back just as the boy narrowed his eye's at the girlish nickname.

Marco took a step forward and his lackey friend's took one as well just as Mika stood with Miko protectively in front of her as a shield. Mika frowned, her gaze lowering as she felt her body shiver under the gaze of her school bully.

"You can't hide behind her forever, freak." Marco said specifically to Mika. "And you, piglet-."

"Who you callin' a piglet?!" Miko seethed while her fist's clenched.

"You can't protect her forever." He told her. "Just like there's five of us and only two of you."

Miko clenched her fist even harder before a vicious smile appeared on her face. "Mommy must be so proud." She cooed at him mockingly. "You can count!" She took satisfaction in the way his face contorted in anger. "And they said you're flunking math."

Marco snapped his fingers and his friends rushed the two girls who screamed and fought back. Two held one while another two held the other sister and Marco grinned at the situation, advancing on Mika with a look of hatred. To say he hated her would be a massive understatement, Marco despised her very existence and wouldn't care if she died suddenly on the street. Hell, even the rest of the school thought that. Mika Nakadai was a freak of nature and had no right walking the same dirt path as him or anyone else, not even the right to kiss the dirt under his feet.

To Marco, she was trash.

Amidst her panicking body, Mika swallowed thickly as her breathing became faster at the fire in the teen's eyes. As Marco raised a fist to hit her as he always did, an engine roared to life and startled the group into action. Marco and his friend's were quick to throw both the girls harshly onto the cement before booking it so they wouldn't be caught. As they fell, Mika hissed when her hand's scraped harshly on the cement while Miko yelped and held her knee that knocked harshly on it. When Mika looked to see who or what saved them, she gasped when her vision was blocked by a male in a doctor's outfit. He was tall with messy Auburn hair, a small n shaped beard sat over his light five O clock shadowed beard. 

"Just a small scrape." His voice sounded, a sound that was uncannily familiar to Mika and she had to glance over to the vehicle he appeared in before looking back to the doctor. A name tag sat on his chest with the name 'Ryan Chett' in elegant letter's fallowed by the Autobot symbol. His hand was grabbing hers gently, looking over the small scrapes from the cement.

"R-Ratchet?" She blinked up to him, causing him to look down at her.

"What?"

"But.. how?" She peeked over to see a somewhat large and muscular guy in his late teens, maybe early twenties, with black hair and bright blue eyes. Over his forehead was a green bandana, a grey top holding his form tightly and dark army pants over army boots. He was speaking quietly to Miko who was openly gaping at him for all but two minutes before a large grin appeared on her face.

"Wow Bulkhead! You look so cool!"

"It's called a holoform." Ratchet said, or should she say Ryan while he was in disguise? Whatever, Mika was just kind of shocked. "It's an invention of mine, keep this cleaned." He told her as he gently began wrapping the lightly bleeding scrapes.

As Bulkheads holoform finished helping with Miko, said girl was staring at Ratchet and Mika with a curious look. He just saved Mika from her school bully, saved her from the usual beating and Miko watched at how her twin was staring at Ratchet. A grin sat upon Miko's face as her mind raced, oh yeah she definitely knew that the bots would be good for her. Though the grumpy medic was questionable, at least he seemed to care about her health.

Well... he was a doctor after all.

"Later, Bulkhead will have to take you to base." Ratchet started, looking down at the girl. When he'd come to the school bus stop, though very much reluctant as he'd never wanted a charge let alone a shared one in the first place, he was shocked to see the two girl's in the hands of those boy's. He'd quickly inquired to what they were doing over the com to the other's when Bumblebee had replied and told him it happens to Rafael as well and that they were known as bullies. He was quick to explain that while some bullies only say mean words, there were some that were physical rather then verbal.

Bee used the description of them being like a version of Decepticon's and how their treatment to Autobot's were (well maybe toned down in comparison on account of the Cons being much, much more violent). This had startled Ratchet into speeding up, Decepticon like humans? That didn't sound good at all, and with that he parked closer and revved his engine angrily to startle the boys. While he didn't like the children, they were technically under their protection and the medic would be damned if he allowed something to happen if he could stop it. Just because he didn't like them, didn't mean he wanted anything bad to happen, by human hands or not.

"Why?" Mika questioned after a moment of silence.

"Chromia is on a mission and I am far to busy with testing's." He replied. "Now hurry up, so I can get back to base."

But despite his brushing off of her curiosity and his brief show of kindness, Mika found herself smiling ever so slightly as Ratchet helped her up, seemingly oblivious to the girls expression.

...

...

...

This wasn't real. 

Nope.

It was NOT happening.

Head shaking and hand's gripping tightly to the seatbelt currently over her, Mika stared out the window as her heart beat wildly within her. She wasn't ready for this, there was no way she was ready for this! She turned to Miko who was smiling as wide as can be while practically bouncing in her seat. Bulkhead had barely finished picking them up to spend some 'quality time' together before returning them to base. By quality time, Mika meant crazy Miko stuff. Miko stuff like preparing to speed down a large rocky hill.

To their death.

Did she mention LARGE hill and DEATH?

"Are you ready!?" Miko made sure to secure her seat belt before squealing in excitement.

"No!" Mika squeaked in pure terror as her vision blurred when she looked down the slope. "Bulkhead please don-"

"To bad! Lets go Bulk!" Miko cheered while punching her fist into the air.

"Er..." Bulkhead frowned in worry. "Miko, I'm supposed to be protecting you, not putting you in danger."

"Yup! Th-this is not protecting. Nope. NO." Mika rambled as she tried pushing herself farther into her seat.

Miko paused in her cheering to peer at Bulkhead's radio with a raised brow before she scoffed. "We're sitting inside a ten ton Robot. We're protected." She assured as she pat the roof of his vehicular form.

This did little to reassure Mika, who's heart was beating faster and faster as if it would leap from her chest at any given moment. It especially pounded when Bulkheads engine roared to life and he leaned forward before careening down the hill. The bot cringed at the sheer intensity of Mika's scream and then the velocity of Miko's cheering.

"Woohoo!"

"WE'RE GONNA DIE!"

He could only hope Ratchet and Chromia didn't kill him for terrifying their charge who was now clinging for dear life onto his steering wheel and screaming as if someone was murdering her.

Yup... He was dead.

And dead he was, for as soon as they finished their fooling around and playing, He had returned to base via bridge and the moment they entered the silo Mika made a desperate attempt to get out of his alt form and slammed into the floor with a loud thump and high pitched squeak.

"Mika?" Miko popped her head out and peered down at her sister before giggling as Mika blew a strand of bangs out of her eye's, glaring through her glasses at her sister and muttering an 'I'm okay.'

"Bulkhead." He quickly looked over to the one who had called him, and just as he feared, there Ratchet stood with a narrow gaze. "What did you do?" He inquired as he looked over his half charge.

"Uhh..."

"That was sweet!" Miko cheered as she leaped from Bulkheads Alternative form, her adrenaline going wild as she practically danced around Mika's form on the floor just as Bumblebee and Arcee appeared.

Bulkhead was quick to transform while everyone was letting their charges out, staring sheepishly at the medic and about to reply when he'd winced and felt something rattling within his chassis. Confused, He opened a compartment and reached within his frame before grasping something and pulling it out only to stare in confusion at what seemed to be, as the humans called it, a guitar.

"Whoops..." Miko said while rubbing the back of her head sheepishly. "I must have forgot that in the back seat."

And yet again before Bulkhead could come up with an excuse for the human upon the ground who's heart was beating erratically, Optimus ventured forth from some unknown place and spoke up. "Ratchet, ready the ground bridge." His voice broke through the noise the children were making as Jack and Raf came from their guardian's. "Autobot's prepare to-" He paused for a moment to stare at the children and his soldier's who all watched him expectantly. He'd momentarily forgotten that they had the children around now and he frowned as he began to feel rather uncertain on what to do...

"Roll out?" Arcee tilted her head just as Chromia's engine roared into base and she transformed.

"Hey kid." She smiled to her charge, patting her head. "Sorry about not being there today. Duty called."

"It's okay..." 

"-Remain here." Optimus finished much to their confusion. "Ratchet, you and Arcee are with me. Chromia, I will be outside of communications range for some time and as such will be leaving you in charge."

Chromia looked over to him in uncertainty just as Miko made her way closer to her bot and not so inconspicuously whisper shouted. "Dude, your like the biggest and toughest bot. You should totally be in charge."

"Errr... he never picks me." Bulkhead mumbled before looking for Mika who'd disappeared on them.

"Optimus, with all due respect, playing bodyguard is one thing but babysitting is another." Arcee argued for her sister. "Besides, Ratchet hasn't been in the field since the war."

"My piston's may be rusty but my hearing is as sharp as ever." Ratchet informed with an annoyed twitch in his left optic.

Chromia and the rest chuckled at that before she shook her head and peeked over to her charge snoozing away on the couch and she gave a smirk. "I think I'll be fine 'baby sitting' as you put it on account that my charge is... indisposed."

All the bots turned to the direction she was looking at and chuckled at the sight of the girl laying half on the couch and a snore leaving her every now and then.

"She has issues sleeping sometimes." Miko said with a shrug. "She'll wake in a bit." Miko informed before Optimus, Arcee and Ratchet exited the Silo via Bridge.

"So! What's on the agenda?" Jack said after a moment of silence and Chroma folded her arm's as she leaned against the wall.

"Well, I should probably finish my homework and study for tomorrow's test." Rafael mumbled before he pulled out his laptop and flopped next to the snoozing Mika, surprisingly she did not stir one bit at the movement on the couch.

"What? But that's not due till like next week." Miko argued, studying and homework was BORING.

"Try the day after tomorrow Miko." Jack sighed, "Luckily mine's all finished." He folded his arm's before raising an eyebrow at her. "I'm guessing you put it all off... again."

"... Shut up."

It wasn't but an hour to two hour's later that a loud and obnoxious beeping had began to blare through the base and proceeded to wake Mika who had, oddly enough, slept through Agent Fowler's visit and melt down, plus through Miko's jam session... according to what her twin informed her that is. In an attempt to block out the loud blaring noise, Mika covered her ear's and gave a startled cry at the painful velocity of the sound before Chromia's voice shouted over the noise.

"We have received an alert from Agent Fowler!" She turned to the Autobot's and then the children as the alarm quieted. "You four are to stay here while we track his position."

Mika rubbed her eye's sleepily as she watched Bulkhead, Bumblebee and Chromia bolt into the ground bridge with strict order's to Jack who was in charge. Slightly confused, the dark haired girl let out a soundless yawn before an arm appeared out of no where and yanked her along, through the bridge with a startled, unheard, yelp before she found herself and Miko into what appeared to be a large canyon. Now even more confused, startled and alert, Mika looked around before her eye's landed on an eerie looking ship that floated menacingly in the sky. To her right was Miko, who she assumed was the one that pulled her along, and to the left were the Autobot's watching the creepy and gloomy alien ship. Following the bot's train of vision, Mika gulped nervously as her eye's spotted what she believed to be Vehicon's patrolling around the large ship with weapons at the ready. 

Was this where that Fowler guy's distress signal came from? She briefly wondered to herself before pausing when something around her neck began to pulse like a heart beat. Startled, Mika reached into her shirt and pulled out a necklace that she had had since she was baby. The necklace was a gorgeous sterling silver crescent moon with a circular pendent hanging from the tip that, when you stared into it, was like you were staring into a universe. Miko had a necklace that she'd had since she was born that was a gorgeous Sun, and when you looked into the middle, you could swear that you were staring into a lake of flaming light. It was Mika's pendant, however, that was glowing and pulsating like a heart beat and she couldn't help but awe at the beauty. The necklace had glowed before, but it never pulsated like a heart.

Unbeknownst to Mika, somewhere both within the ship and a large dark intimidating red eyed shadow, the same purple glow from within a crystal began to pulse in sync. The shadowed figure glanced down, pausing in whatever it had been doing before glancing in the direction of the Decepticon warship.

Mika frowned at the odd action's over her necklace before she placed it back under her shirt just as Miko popped her head from behind the rock and asked excitedly, "So, what's the plan?"

The Autobot's that were hiding were so startled that they jumped and whirled around to see where the voice came from, only to stare wide eyed at the Nakadai sister's.

"Miko/Mika!" They all hissed at the same time, only for the sound of a blaster powering up distracted them and their attention turned to the direction it came from. There, right in front of them, was an angry looking Vehicon that was making it's way over to their position.

"Oh... unwise." Miko and Mika whispered just as Bulkhead let out a battle growl and leaped up from his position and towards the oncoming con. His large frame clashed against it as it tried in vain to shake the huge bot from its body and Bulkhead had enough courtesy to turn to the two girls.

"Get down!" He shouted as Mika grabbed Miko and dodged oncoming fire from the Decepticon warship, the two rolled across the rocky ground and gained scrapes against their skin just as Chromia and Bumblebee began firing back.

Very much into the fight, Miko watched her guardian battling the con with complete and utter awe as they rumbled and tumbled about before Bulkhead managed to pin the con down and proceeded to beat the slag out of it. Wanting nothing more then to be apart of the action, Miko jumped from her hidden position and raced over, picking up the biggest rock she could all the while shouting. "Hold him in place!" Before she slammed the rock onto the con's face.

The rock clanked against the con's head before falling uselessly onto the ground and the battle around them practically paused as all stopped fighting to stare over at Miko. Said girl noticed the awkward air and sheepishly rubbed her head "Uh... whoopsie?"

"Look away!" Bulkhead shouted as he and the con resumed their struggled.

"But-" Miko started to protest before Bulkhead replied to her in a much, MUCH more stern voice.

"Turn away now!"

Mika turned her head, the battle was starting to get to her. She'd always hated violence, never liking to be around it or the cause of it as she'd always wanted to be a medic and help people, but never harm... Mika's innocent, but semi dark and abused, mind had one sure drilled belief. A life was a life even that of a criminal. So with that, Mika quickly clenched her eye's shut and held her hands over her ears in fear of hearing the sound. But Chromia had made her way over to her half charge and, upon noticing the state she was in concerning battle, covered her with her hands as to help block out the sound of Bulkhead snarling and slamming his fist through the Decepticon's Chassis and thoroughly ripping it's spark out.

Miko however, continued watching in unbound fascination with only one word leaving her lips. "Whoa..."

It was safe to assume that after that, Chromia was quick to com the base for a bridge, having told Rafael how to manage it should they need a way back and no bot was available. While they waited, each bot watched their surroundings for any more enemies before growing restless after about twenty minutes. Bulkhead began to grow more and more restless as the time passed and he shifted in discomfort.

"What's taking them so long?" He wondered in aggravation.

As if on cue in response to Bulkhead inquiry, the bridge opened near them and out of it came Rafael and Jack who stared over to them in worry. "What are you doing!?" Chromia commanded as they both came through. "Do you realize what you've done?" She questioned as the portal behind them closed.

Raf looked up to her wide eyed and apologetic before she let out a hiss of aggravation and turned to Bulkhead. "We have no choice but to let them tag along. Bulkhead I want you to-"

"You there! Autobot's sighted!" A voice shouted from the ship and that's when shots began raining down on them causing the bots to curse and take cover.

"Scrap! Get in now!" Bulkhead transformed and popped open his door's for the two children to hop into, unknown to them that Mika and Miko hadn't been seen and were already hidden in back, and Jack let out a breath of relief.

"Thanks Bulkhead." Jack said, puffing air out from running.

"What are you two doing here?" He asked, more so groaned.

"We opened the bridge for Chromia and came through to help with Mika and Miko." Raf explained.

"Have you seen them?" Jack inquired in worry before he let out a rather girly scream followed by Raf and then Bulkheads screeching to a stop just as Miko and Mika popped up from the back seat, thoroughly scaring the scrap out of everyone.

"What do they look like?"

"Alright, everyone out." Bulkhead demanded as his door's popped open. Frowning, the children all looked at each other before beginning to pile out, only Bulkhead hadn't noticed that he shut the door's upon Mika and Miko before he was speeding off and making the two crash into each other before suddenly the bot had transformed around them and encased them in shadow.

In the dark, and now more scared then before, Mika hugged herself to her twin for protection and comfort while Miko shouted for her to hang on as their world began to move. The two winced as the world around them tipped and shook, their head's began to feel light and airy just as Miko began to groan and whine about her stomach and the urge to hurl. Mika was quick to urge her to hold it as she didn't quite want puke upon her body. The two listened to the ongoing battle outside of the darkness they were encased in and when it went silent, Miko proceeded to pound on the wall around them very much wanting OUT.

Bulkhead, now a top the ship while Chromia and Bee stormed the inside from below, blinked in confusion at the knocking before sparing a glance to Raf and Jack who were looking around them in alarm. Sighing in exasperation, Bulkhead opened his chest compartment and was only slightly shocked to see the two girls popping up making sounds as if they were going to throw up, much to his disgust. "Miko?! Mika?!"

"I heaved on your floor mats." Miko groaned as she held her stomach, attempting to hold back the urge to heave once more.

"Sorry." Mika whimpered almost silently as she clutched her stomach as well, the nausea washing over her and Miko like a title wave only to be multiplied through their bond as they felt each other's ill feelings.

"Remind my to never do that again." Miko informed Mika as Bulkhead set them down.

"Duly noted." Mika grumbled before stretching and taking notice of the empty top of the ship and the two cast thumbs up to Bulkhead who chuckled sheepishly.

"Wow nice work Bulk!" Miko whistled before pretending to hold a microphone and adopting a wild look. "Today on Wreckers gone wild, we got bulky wreaker Bulkhead live in action."

Mika gave a little laugh while Bulkhead rolled his eye's, the moment however was short lived as a hatch suddenly shot open and the sound of pede's racing towards them sending them into alarm as Vehicon's began to poor out of the hatch. Miko yanked Mika away and towards a safe point so as not to get in the way. Unfortunately a con had landed between the two and ended up separating them as Miko was sent flying to the left and slamming into a part of the ship with a pained groan, and Mika was sent flying into the air only a few feet from the ground before slamming down and rolling across the metal of the ship. She rolled to a stop a moment later with a gasp of pain and, in an attempt to get up, placed her hands down to push herself up. Something must have triggered a hidden compartment in the ship because the moment Mika's hands touched the metal (Though unknown to her it was actually her necklace that had touched the metal beneath her) A hidden hatch opened and she suddenly found herself falling and being swallowed into darkness with only Miko's name screaming from her lips in terror.

The last thing Mika heard as she was enveloped into the shadow's was the sound of Miko screaming her name before nothing.
