"Let me out!" Mika shouted for the umpteenth time. She'd been flung into this prison, into this...jar about a day or so ago. She was cold, scared, and she continuously wondered if the others had gotten to safety.

Did they live?

Were they... killed?

Worried?

She cringed as she covered her face as memories of the day she was thrown in came forth, willing back her tears.

She wanted Miko... She wanted Grimlock... but most of all she found herself wanting, not Chromia, but Ratchet. He'd been there since Chromia abandoned her, distracting her and teaching her anything he could. She thought he had hated her and the others for a while.

She was almost convinced.

But...

When he had began trying to cheer her up she saw another side to him.

A side that was gentle and calm.

A groan sounded from the other side of her room from her guard, His screams were still in her head from the first day in this hell hole.

She didn't like him really but... She wouldn't wish pain on anyone.

His plea's for forgiveness rang through her head.

Begging for mercy and only getting cruel laughter in return.

"Stop." She whispered, covering her ears. "I don't want to hear..."

She tapped her foot to make some kind of noise, even began humming a song that her and Chromia would listen to on the radio all the time.

She wished she was back at the base playing a racing game with Raf, Miko and Jack... Back teaching Grimlock human ways and laughing as Ratchet tried teaching him Cybertronian ways. Grimlock biting Ratchets digit all the time when frustrated, or singing Bulkheads aft when Bulkhead would accidentally step on his tail... Racing with the twins and always picking Sunstreaker, promising waxes and car washes as rewards for kicking tailpipe. Even listening to Ratchet's incessant typing on his computer that would be very distracting when doing her homework.

"Will you stop that!?" His once strong voice was weak and annoyed and startled her from her tapping and thoughts.

"Why?"

"Why what?"

"Why do you put up with being beaten?"

"... I don't have to answer to you."

"Why stay in a place that hurts you all the time?"

Starscream glared at the human, annoyed at her talking, Annoyed with himself for even listening to her talking. "I have better things to do then listen to you." He grumbled as he stood, sending one last glare at the human before walking off and leaving her alone in the dark.

...

...

...

"..." Miko glared around her, she was in a terrible mood.

Could one blame her?

Her twin was missing, Bulkhead couldn't keep her calm, Jack was cleaning, Raf was crying every now and then being comforted by Bumblebee who blamed himself for the entire thing, Sunstreaker was even more quiet then normal, Sides wasn't as cheery and when he was it was fake. Riptide and Lockjaw wouldn't leave their cages and refused to eat... Grimlock was constantly causing problems in his angered search for his creator and Optimus was running patrols whenever he got the chance, he felt guilty for not being at the base to stop what happened.

She glanced up at the Medic who still typed away at his computer, he hadn't slept at all.

Energon cubes were laying where he SHOULD have drank them.

He'd been tirelessly trying to pick up a signal to the Decepticon war ship...

He let a frustrated growl, he had thought if he could stop Megatron's life support it would be fine, and eventually Megatron would fade from Bumblebee's mind.

Instead he just used the dark energon to revive himself... and took Mika in the process.

He had no doubt they would of taken Miko too had she been there.

"Why can't I help!?" Miko shouted in anger.

Ratchet blinked down at her.

"All you do all day is type away on your stupid computer! We should be out looking for her!"

"..."

He ignored her and continued typing, trying to get passed the decepticon cloaking device with no success.

"-on't care about nobody but yourself."

Ratchet vented angrily and in frustration. "Do you think you are the only one worried?" He growled to Miko. "Do you think you are the only one who cares?"

"Shocker, the withdrawn medic actually cares for once."

Ratchet withheld his temper, and the urge to whack her with his largest wrench. "How do you think I feel Miko?" He sighed in defeat, sitting down. "I'm supposed to be her guardian, instead I let her get captured. I couldn't save her and I had been right there! I had been right there. I wasn't... strong enough..."

Miko paused at his tone, his voice shaking.

She wouldn't doubt that if he was a human he'd be...

"I'm sorry.." She mumbled. "I'm just... Scared. I've never been away from Mika and now that I am it's not a boyfriend like I thought it would be, instead she was kidnapped. Who knows what they're doing to her..."

Ratchet shuddered.

Who knows indeed.

Decepticons were not known for being merciful...

...

...

...

"..."

"...."

"....."

"......"

Mika continued to stare, very much annoying the red medic.

"Do you mind?"

Stare.

"Really?"

Stare.

"Stop that."

Stare.

"I said stop."

Stare.

"I mean it!"

Stare.

"You're just as annoying as Soundwave!"

Eye's narrow, stare.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Finally."

Stare.

"GRAH! You littl-"

-I need a bridge!- Starscreams voice shrieked.

"Finally," Knockout muttered before activating the bridge. "So! How did- Starscream what happened to your arm?"

"I uh... I was thinking of getting an upgrade!" He dodged the question.

"Oh finally! Do you know how out of date your frame is? I've got ton's of newer models here-"

Mika tuned out the medics praddling of newer limbs and instead strayed to the stub of an arm... or rather used to be arm.

'Miko?' Mika hears no reply.

She pokes at her twins bond and felt a rush of relief and worry.

So they could still feel each others emotions and play around with the bond but they couldn't hear each other.

Miko was frightened of something but Mika couldn't figure out why no matter how hard she was trying. She closed her eye's and concentrated...

...

...

...

"Not that way!" Miko hissed, "This way!"

"My glasses!"

"Seriously? Your such a nerd!" Miko groaned, peaking around the corner before racing out and grabbing Raf's glasses and then running back behind the boulder they were hiding behind.

"You just had to follow didn't you?" Jack grumbled.

"I thought I could find Mika okay!?" Miko shouted in frustration. "How was I supposed to know there'd be a freaking decepticon Zombie?!"

"Stop it!" Raf shouted, "We all miss her okay? We need to get out of here..."

Suddenly Jacks phone went off, startling the trio. Miko looked at him, then down to his pocket where his phone was going off.

"My.. phone? My phone!" Jack fumbled to pick his cellphone up and was quick to answer it. "Hello?"

"Why didn't you think about that earlier!?" Miko shouted at him.

"Hello? Arcee?" Jack scowled when the line went dead. "It's like she couldn't hear me..."

Miko tuned Jack out as she felt a familiar poke.

'Mika?!'

...

'Mika! Hello?!'

Miko poked back and sent a ton of relief through their bond. She couldn't hear Mika which was weird considering they've always been able to talk no matter the distance... well on earth anyway...

What if...

What if she was in space?!

Oh God! What if their doing weird alien probing?!

No no... That's stupid.

Wait...

If she was in space then how was she breathing??

Miko felt a familiar connection and her vision doubled, something she hadn't felt since she was small.

Mika was trying to see what she was seeing...

Miko felt like smacking herself.

A, DUH!

She could totally do that with Mika! Maybe they'd be able to find her then?!

Miko let her see what she was seeing and peeked around the corner at the Zombiecon and then back.

Mika wasn't happy and Miko knew that her twin knew she had recklessly ran into battle again.

Looking next to her she spotted Jack texting, and then back to the Zombie who was closing in. "Text and run!" She shouted before grabbing Jack and running.

"This looks familiar..." Raf furrowed his eyebrows as they passed a familiar rock structure.

"That's because it is." Jack groaned.

"We're going in circles! Hey wait a minute... isn't that Starscreams arm?"

"Quick!"

They ran over to the arm and aimed it at the bot, "Now what?"

"I think he did something with his finger."

Jack and Raf struggled to move the limb and when they move a certain digit a click was heard and the missile launched.

In a large explosion, body parts flew and they cheered happily until a hand landed on the ground. It stood like a spider, turning every which way before honing in on them and after a moment charged.

"Scrap!" Miko shouted. "It's faster now!"

The trio ran for it again until they came across a ground bridge.

"Is it ours?"

"What if it's theirs?"

"Skyquake! Your master has returned!" A voice startled the trio.

"Hey is that Starscream!?"

Jack looked back behind him and then towards the portal. "I have an idea."

...

...

...

Mika watched as a portal was waiting, listening for what was going on. Knockout was holding her jar cell and both were tilting their head like puppies do in curiousness as the portal gave off noises from the other side.

An; Can you picture that? I really should try drawing that! -not the BEST drawer out there ijs.-

"-humans?!"

...

"What?"

...

"Gah!"

...

"That's not mine!"

...

"AHHH!!!"

Knockout and Mika shared a look before looking back to the bridge as Starscream ran through with a... a hand chasing him?

"What the!?" Knockout dropped Mika's cage, said girl shrieked at the feel of falling before the glass broke open.

She rubbed her head and tears stung at the pain of a glass jutting from her leg. A scrapping noise caught her attention as the hand started running for her.

"AH!" She yelped, covering her face, when a shot rang out and obliterated the hand.

Looking up the two decepticons and the human spotted Soundwave with a smoking gun, he lowered his hand and stared for a moment.

Knockout and Starscream fidgeted in place, glancing at the other nervously and then to the injured and crying human. Not only did they know that the girl was supposed to be unharmed but they knew she had a large connection to Soundwave, though neither knew the extent.

So with the injured femme being injured because of something they did, they were unsure how Soundwave would react.

Soundwave released a tentacle and picked up the injured human gently before turning and leaving the room. When he reached the door he turned to look at the nervous decepticons, allowing the light to glint off his visor creepily before he exited the premises.

Mika looked up to him while he, her heart pounding. She was nervous, unsure how to act and all around awkward. She had no idea how he was her father or how Chromia was her mother but she knew they spoke the truth.

Mika got along GREAT with Chromia when she was here, but she had no idea how she and Soundwave would get a long.

She felt that door to their bond open and reassurance sent through.

Protection.

She shouldn't fear him, or being around him.

Soundwave would protect her above all else.

"What happened?" Megatron glanced down at the human, optics narrowed at the injury.

Soundwave replayed what happened in the medbay and Megatron growled in annoyance, turning then leaving.

He specifically told them not to let her get injured, not that he particularly cared about HER in general but he cared about her power. He wanted to explore it, see how far it went and to get her on his side. It might have been hard, had he not seen the heart ache between her and that Autobot Chromia.

He could use and twist that to his advantage.

Another plus in his book, Soundwave was her father.

He would discover why she was a...fleshy at another time. For now he had a medic and seeker to punish.

...

...

...

"Just make it quick..." Mika muttered.

Soundwave used his tentacle to grasp the glass shard in her leg, and with hesitance, started pulling it out.

Soundwave may be a decepticon, may be ruthless, uncaring, cold.

Perhaps cruel to some.

But if there was one thing he cared for it was his sparklings and simbiots.

He cringed at her screaming but when he got it out he quickly set to work disinfecting and sewing her leg up.

"Thank you." She murmured as Soundwave finished up, injecting her with an odd liquid and forcing her into a deep sleep.

He watched his sparkling falling into slumber, his spark warmed.

She was his and he would make sure Chromia payed for taking BOTH his sparklings from him and he would make her pay dearly.

Soundwave also knew what Megatron had planned for her, and though he was bothered by what could possibly happen, he knew as long as she was with him she would be safe.

For if she as with the Autobots she would be targeted.

Mika was HIS and he refused to let her go.

And his next move?

He would retreive his second sparkling as well, and reunite them all. After all, Soundwave did not like something that was HIS being in another possesion.
