Run...

Mika panted as she ran.

Faster!

She tried to move quickly, legs burning horribly.

He's coming!

"Get back here unwanted!"

Mika skid around the corner, trying to lose him through the locker room's of the gym.

She weaved in and out of the way of the rows of lockers, avoiding a few students who were standing in the way.

They never helped her.

Avoiding the teachers who watched.

Them either.

'Miko where are you?' Mika thought desperately to her twin through their bond.

She was scared...

So scared...

'Miko!'

"Gotcha!"

"AH!"

"You think your so tough." He growled, shoving her to the ground.

She had just made it out the back of the school, if only she could of made it farther...

She felt a kick to her stomach, causing pain to flare through her. A few more student's joined, laughing and surrounding them.

Why...?

She felt a strange prodding in her bond, it wasn't Miko.

She felt desperate, ignoring her fear of the strange bond, and sent all her fear through the bond before feeling rage being sent back.

"AH!" She felt people pin her down, some on her feet and the others on her arms. "Let go!"

A punch hit her face, sending her glasses flying.

"Just because you hide behind your twin, you think your safe?"

Another punch.

His name was Marco Santonia, He'd hated her since the day they met.

She never understood why.

They all hated her.

Said she was too different.

To weird.

To...quiet.

What point was there to be social when her twin wasn't around? What point was there when everyone else hates her?

She was so lonely when Miko was in detentions or had other things to do then hang out with her after school.

This time Miko most likely was off with Bulkhead...

So where was Chromia?

"We don't want freaks like you here!"

Mika felt more hits to her before He was pinning her body down, he was on top of her.

Her fear spiked higher when he got close to her face, hatred and malice lay in his eyes.

"Freak." He spat.

She closed her eyes and felt a snap, the sound of something shattering was heard.

"She's using her freaky powers!" A student cried.

Mika had special abilities since she could remember... one of them was being able to analyze things with ease, another was telekinesis.

Miko used to be the only one who knew.

Until one day Mika's anxiety got the best of her and activated her power in school, causing the glass in chemistry to break.

Forever labeling her a witch among the students.

She wasn't.... she wasn't a witch!

"No one wants you."

No one wanted her...

"Even your parents abandoned you."

Abandoned...

"Your unwanted trash!"

Unwanted...

"Unneeded!"

Unneeded..

The boy that kept hitting her was suddenly ripped off and the other students scrambled away.

Mika couldn't see, but sensed them all gone.

She blindly searched for her glasses only for her breath to hitch when she felt a warm hand upon her own.

Then she felt whoever it was place her glasses on her sore face reveling a man standing before her.

His body was decked out in a purple and blue suit, his head was covered in a odd hat with a visor, the visor hiding the top of his face.

"..."

"..."

She didn't speak, fearful of being hit again if she did.

Silent...

She would be silent.

She felt sorrow flow over her through the unknown bond before the man before her hugged her to him.

Her breath hitched and she was scared for a moment before she felt... love... flowing through her.

W-who was this man?

She tried to fight it but it consumed her and eventually she closed her eyes and accepted the contact of the strange man, allowing him to hold her as she drowned herself in the comfort.

The kind of comfort only Miko ever gave her...

A tear fell, followed by another.

And another.

The man let go, patting her head affectionately before backing away as Miko's voice rang out.

"Mika!"

Mika looked in the direction of her sister before back to the man, only to find him gone. She felt Miko skid next to her, worriedly checking all her injuries, crying because she hadn't gotten there in time.

Mika payed no attention as her mind wandered to the strange man.

Who was he?

~~~~~~~~~Autobot Base~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mika continuously tinkered with her science project. It had been a few days since the space mission for the Autobots, her and Chromia seemed to be getting along quite well.

Especially when Chromia found out Mika loved inventing things and weapons! She would secretly take Mika shooting to test out the weapons she made.

Currently Chromia was watching Mika working on her human sized T-rex robot.

"And this is for your science project?" Chromia asked quizzically.

"Uh huh..." Mika muttered as she tightened a few bolts, reading a data pad that Chromia had translated to English to help Mika with her projects.

She wanted to build something cool and when Chromia saw her looking at a model of a T-rex in a book she showed her charge what a dino-bot used to look like before they grew extinct. She had even had an ancient Cybertronian dinobot fang that she gave to Mika as a necklace.

Of course she had made Ratchet put a tracking device in it so she could watch her charge better. But Mika didn't need to know that.

Mika had been so excited over the thought of giant metal dinosaurs that she immediately asked to have any left over scrap metal's around the base to build the robot! Chromia had taken the empty shell of a con for Mika to use, so her project wouldn't be so fragile, and had melted it down small enough for parts for Mika to use.

Currently Mika had been finishing up on the T-rex's Optics.

"Will you give him a name?" Chromia wondered, not like it mattered. It was going to just be an inanimate object.

"I'm going to name him Grimlock!" Mika smiled up at her guardian from her position on the base's platform, pushing up her glasses with her wrist as to avoid the dirty oiled hands.

"Grimlock huh?"

"Mhm~" Mika continued to tinker around before taking a break. "Your going to be the best ever Grimlock!"

Mika hugged the muzzle of her T-rex that was the size of a human toddler when an explosion rocked the base causing her to fall over the railing she was leaning against.

Chromia was quick to catch her charge just as Optimus and Ratchet came rushing into the room.

"Decepticons!" Ratchet had shouted. "We're under attack!"

"It's not Attack Ratchet." Raf coughed as smoke covered him and his project he'd been working on, a volcano. "It's my Volcano... er... was." the thing had began to melt and fall to bits upon the floor.

Ratchet blinked his optics before looking over to the rest of the kids.

"Hold still Bulkhead!" Miko scolded her guardian who was holding her steady, or trying to. "Jupiter needs it's red spot."

A splotch of paint fell from the brush and onto the metal floor, splattering in a small mess.

"Whoopsy!"

"What... in the allspark is going on here?" Ratchet was trying to calm down, he was aggravated from being startled so.

Optimus only watched on, eyes softening slightly as he took in the reactions of his bots and the human children.

"Our projects are due tomorrow." Jack explained from his position on the floor, a model motorcycle lay before him incomplete.

"Maybe it needs one of these do hickeys?" Arcee offers a Muffler.

"You're a motorcycle Arcee; shouldn't you know how to build a motorcycle engine?" Jack asks.

"You're a human Jack; can you build me a small intestine?" She retaliated.

Mika started giggling loudly from Chromia's arms causing the rest to look at her.

"What do you have there?" Optimus wondered as Chromia set her down.

"I'm building a dino-bot!" She smiled shyly at the Autobot leader. "I hope you don't mind-"

Mika started, both her and Optimus ignoring Ratchet who was complaining. "-But Chromia's been teaching me a little about Cybertron. When she saw me looking ideas for my project she saw a creature similar to one of the Dinobots that used to roam your planet and she started teaching me a few things. I decided to try to build a model of a dinobot."

"Well you can't work on these projects in here. You're making a mess!" Ratchet complains.

"You don't even work in this area." Miko huffed, her twin nodding. "So it's not like we're bothering you."

"The science fair is a big part of our grade!" Raf protested next.

"Yeah, besides if Bulkhead doesn't help me finish this model of our solar system..." Miko started before Ratchet huffed and cut her off.

"Oh? And what does Bulkhead know of your solar system? Or Bumblebee of your Volcanoes? Or.."

"Arcee of our motorcycles?" Jack finished for Ratchet."

"Precisely! We're not earthlings, and their not scientists."

"The Autobots are guardians for the children Ratchet, would it hurt to learn more of Earth by helping our young friends with their school work?" Optimus began only for Ratchet to huff again.

"Well, maybe our young friends should try learning more of Cybertron."

"What do you think I'm doing?" Mika frowned at the grouchy medic.

Ratchet looked over to her project.

"Is that a-"

"-Dinobot yes." Chromia finished.

"We exchanged lessons in Cybertronian and earth's historical creatures! Her for our Dinosaurs and Me for Dinobots!" Mika grinned.

While Miko loved gaming and music and all things fun and distracting, Mika loved learning, writing, reading you name it!

She loved gaming and music as well, but Miko hated studying and school.

Mika just loved learning new things and with Chromia teaching her a few things she was breeming with happiness.

Which was nice for a change.

No one at school would ever have offered to help her with anything let alone a project, not even the teachers! She never could understand why...

Ratchet stared at her for a moment before turning away and returned to talking to Optimus.

Mika continued tinkering with Grimlock, excited to finish him.

As she placed a few final pieces she pulled out some paint and began coloring him, ignoring Optimus as he and some of the bots left for a mission leaving Ratchet to supervise.

As she was painting she decided to create an insignia for her dinobot, a T-rex's head with its jaw open in a roar *front facing* Bloody red in color. She finished up her painting of her project, adding a few colors more for a shading look on some metal shards that stuck out. She then added a metal spiked Collar with the name Grimlock on it showing his name proudly.

"Hmm."

Mika jumped, wide eyed as she turned to see Ratchet observing her closer then she'd like.

"R-ratchet! Was that really necessary?" She paused at the look he was giving before a huge scowl made it's way on her face. "No."

"W-what?" Ratchet blinked innocently at her.

"No Ratchet."

"But-"

"NO!"

"What if I jus-"

"Nuh uh!"

"... can I just r-"

"ZZZ!"

Ratchet pouted, ignoring the laughing Miko who watched the exchange.

"Mika NEVER lets anyone touch her projects." Miko laughed. "It has to be 100% done by her or she scraps it."

"Why" Jack watched too.

"Because then she doesn't feel like it is hers anymore. She'll accept help with information but not help for building any of her inventions."

"How many inventions does she have?"

"Tons." Miko grinned before turning back to her project in dismay as Ratchet took over. "Control Freak."

~~~~~~~~~Highschool~~~~~~~~

"Miss Nakadai, what exactly is that?"

Miko looked sheepish at the teacher as she looked at her project, a huge metal planet hung on her 'solar system'

"Uhm... Cybertron?"

The planet, being to heavy to stay up, broke from its restraint and smashed onto the floor, crushing the teachers foot who yelped in pain, hopping on his only good foot.

"Scrap..."

~~~~~~~~~~

"Does it turn on?"

"Yes." Mika grinned as she pulled out a remote control and pushed a button.

Her mini Dinobot came to life, using recorded dinosaur roars as it moved about to her command. She then pulled out a little Microphone and spoke into it as she controlled her bot to move around.

"ROAR! Me Grimlock! King of Dinobots!" Came a deep gravely voice in the robot Via Mika's voice commands into her device.

"Wonderful~" The teacher praised.

"Grimlock superior dinobot! Grimlock strong and can devour meals in one might chomp!" Her bot chomped its jaw's in emphasis.

"Good job Mika! A+"

"Yes!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Does it turn on?" The teacher asked incredulously to the weird contraption Jack set down.

He sighed, pulling out his remote controller and hesitantly turned it on. "We'll see..."

As if on cue the device turned on, exciting Jack before his excitement turned to fear when it got out of control.

"AHH!" The students all jumped out of the way as the machine ripped through the class room and out the door, reeking havoc on the school.

~~~~~~~~~~~

"I-I'm afraid to ask Raf." The teacher stuttered in fear as he hid behind his desk, "B-but is it... active?"

On Raf's desk was a large metal Volcano simply WAY out done.

Raf sighed dejectedly before pushing a button causing the volcano to erupt in a powerful beam that took off the schools roof.

~~~~~~~~~

When the kids were picked up by their designated bot and brought back to base Ratchet eagerly walked over to them.

"How were my- err... OUR projects today?" He asked hopefully.

Mika found it cute.

"Well..."

After retelling the tale Ratchets happy eagerness turned to annoyed and pouting.

"Well! If it were on Cybertron you would of gotten the highest score!" He stormed off to the side, huffing.

"How about yours Mika?" Chromia asked her charge.

Mika smiled up to her and then the other bots. "I got an A+!" She grinned before walking off to Chromia's room to store her robot there for safe keeping.

Ignoring the bots laughing silently and Optimus saying that for the future the children should stray from Ratchets past.

Mika was starting to love being there with the bots.

Especially Chromia who was starting to feel motherly to her.

Mika wanted to stay forever...
