Where? Where was she?

Her surroundings were different... was she back home with the bots? The vision of the Silo greeted her as she blearily looked around. The Silo was eerily dark and a foreboding feeling washed over her. Were the bots sleeping? She almost groaned as a sore and pained feeling ran through her back, why? She tried to recall... why did her back hurt?

She clenched her eye's and hissed, mind flashing back to being captured by someone... a man? He'd thrown her down when she tried fighting him off... but now she was back at base. Opening her eye's again she looked around more with furrowed eyebrows, was she in the medbay? Her mind flashed back to how many time's she'd been there with Ratchet watching and learning as he worked.  

Ratchet...

A shadowed figure shifted in the shadow's and glowing eye's opened as they stared at her.

"R-Ratchet?" She tried shifting and looking towards the gaze. "W-where is everyone? I-Is Raf okay? Is he with Bumblebee and Optimus?"

"..." Silence greeted her for a moment before Ratchets voice, thought deeper, echoed int he dark. "I find it intriguing how you know that name." He referred to Optimus's old name before he renamed himself Nemesis Prime, a befitting name for the dark and fallen Prime.

"Don't be silly." She murmured. 

"I do not do... silly, little human."

"I know your upset with me." She sighed. "But is that a way for a Guardian to treat their charge?"

She heard a cruel like laughter coming from him. "I have no Charge."

Mika felt her heart clench painfully, he was that upset? "If you won't talk to me then let me talk to Optimus."

"He's not someone one wishes to speak to willingly." He laughed cruelly. "Open your eye's you foolish child."

Mika growled and complied only to freeze at the red optics staring at her. Red? Memories flooded her and she gasped. She wasn't home, she was in a parallel universe where the good guys were bad and the bad were good... that meant this was not her Ratchet but a different one. Light suddenly flooded over them and before her the look a like stood with coloring of faded white and purple instead of his pristine white and orange. She felt herself shiver in fear as a look came over him.

"Hmm." His hand rested next to her and she fearfully glanced at it, this Ratchet could kill her and not feel remorse. "I see both recognition and fear in those eye's, yet I've never met you."

Damn right they didn't meet, she shivered again in fear causing the medic to smirk in amusement, her fear entertained him. He turned his gaze to a machine that he'd been working on, it would be a last resort use on the human, but for now he would try to get his answers. 

"Tell me," The look a like purred darkly. "Where is Megatronus located?"

Mika blinked before she scowled. If this was an evil version of Ratchet, then he was the equivalence of her verse's version of the Decepticons, therefore an enemy.  He seem'ed to be more evil then her verse's villains however... Then again, she had no relation to anyone in this group as she had with her places group... Meaning she did NOT have the upper hand here... She didn't have her Sire to protect her and so they had no obligations to be kind to her. 

"..."

She was so scrapped. 

"Very well, if you will not tell me willingly then I will make you tell me." The sounds of saw's are heard and Mika snaps to attention

Surely he wouldn't?

The gleaming of the saw in his hand told her otherwise and her heart began hammering... no...

"No!"

"Tell me where to find them."

She shook her head only to cry out in fear when the weapon hit the metal beside her dangerously close.

"I won't miss next time girl." He promised her darkly and Mika felt tears begin streaming down both in fear and pain. Why did he have to look like her Ratchet?

When his saw came close to her as she shook her head once more something in her snapped and she began screaming out for help. "Ratchet!" She wished he could hear her crying out for him to be saved. 

She wanted her guardian! He was her protector right? So he would come to her rescue! 

Hatchet looked at the human in wonder, who was Ratchet that she cried out for? He watched the human and scowled when he felt his spark give a tug once more, snarling to himself and ignoring the pull as he threateningly put the saw close to her face. He WOULD get his answer's one way or another.

"No, no! Ratchet! Ratchet! SIRE!!!"

...

...

...

"Anything?" Soundwave asked as Raf typed on his own laptop that was hooked up to the Decepticon computers.

Raf, fully loving all this high tech that was denied the Autobots in his realm, had been hard at work searching for Autobot symbols for the Decepticons.

He paused, wow, he thought, never thought I'd do this. He mused for a second before becoming serious as he scoured the system with Soundwave. The Bot, though not technically Mika's sire but having a very odd shadow'd bond, was worried for the girl. His bond to her wasn't powerful like it would be if she were this worlds version and his TRUE sparkling. She belonged to the other him more so then the current him. Goodness, it gave him a helm ache thinking about this... She was like a shadow of the girl that belonged in this world, or a spirit come to visit him and torture him and his mate with things that could have been.

Soundwave shook his head, he couldn't think like that... she was still a part of him even if she didn't belong here and he would get her back. He wouldn't let what happened to him here happen to the dark version of him.

Could anybot believe it? That there was a quiet and serious version of him that was very deadly and never spoke? He couldn't imagine not speaking, it was to weird not to mention it sounded like a very lonely existence...

"Nothing." Raf rasped, he was terrified for Mika and what Hatchet would do to her... was she okay? Was she... wounded? "Megatron?"

"Megatronus." He corrected.

"Sorry, It's... well weird." Raf sighed. "Do you think we'll find Mika? D-do you think they..."

"I do not know what could be falling your friend..." Megatronus murmured sadly. "I am sorry for failing in preventing her capture, if I had but-"

"Don't." Starscream spoke. "I should have been monitoring the signals better, but I arrived to late and was defeated by that accursed Hatchet and they got away, if anyone is to blame it is I."

"Both of you please." Rafael pleaded, "We have to get her back..."

"Forgive me for being so bold." A different femme spoke as a dark Chromia entered causing Rafael to stare in shock. "But what is one human?"

"Chromia." Megatronus snapped.

"I'm sorry sir but, why must we expend more forces when we are dangerously low on them?"

"Chromia." Soundwave looked to her, walking up to her and caressing her face making her expression soften. "You were never introduced to our guests."

"Does it matter? All the squishies look the same to me..." She replied. "Hands, feet, legs, face, hair you get it."

"This is Rafael Esquival, charge of Bumblebee and the human who was captured was the charge of Ratchet."

"What?" She furrowed her eye's in confusion.

"Though her human name is Mika Nakadai, her real name.... is Soulspark."

Chromia reared back from him as if she was hit, that wasn't possible! Hatchet had killed Soulspark and Bleakmelody when the two were still in the Decepticon academy training to rejoin them.

"Impossible." She told him. "Soulspark is dead."

"I thought so too." He said. "But she had our spark signature. She is our sparkling."

"But from a different universe entirely. Soundwave can feel a very small shadow of a bond, but only when she is near." Starscream interrupted Chromia before she could speak. "I call it the Shattered Glass realm. Where Autobot and Decepticon are opposite of what they are here. Autobot fighting for good and justice while  Decepticon for peace... through tyranny. We are all there even Bleakmelody.  Now, if you will excuse me. A few Vehicons and I will go scout the air."

The seeker then left them to talk and for Chromia to clutch at her spark... A different universe.. where her darling sparklings were alive and well?

...

...

...

"What are you doing?"

Pain... Mika's body hurt so much... her head was pounding... was she hearing her own voice speaking?

"By the Allspark! Mika!" Ratchet's voice growled and Mika's ears perked. Ratchet...? "Don't scare me like that."

Giggling is heard. "Your just mad because I caught you by surprise."

Ratchet grumbling is hears and her heart almost soars, was she back home?

"Your so grumpy. You need to relax."

"Relax?" His voice scoffed. "If anybot need's to relax it's Optimus."

"Hm?" Optimus voices as if he had been alerted at the call of his name.

"Ratchet think's you need to relax." That was Miko's voice... Was Mika trapped within her memories? She closed her eye's as she envisioned the memory.... and her mind took her back to the day she was recalling.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

"I agree!" Mika chirped as she hopped next to her twin, said twin wrapping her arm around Mika. "You all need to relax."

"We can't relax." Arcee walked up with Jack hopping off her leg, he'd been leaning against her as they talked about something.

"They can't exactly take a vacation with those con's running a muck." Jack frowned.

"We cannot risk the chance of the Decepticons attacking while we... relax." Optimus sounded so awkward just saying the word relax.

"Oh come on boss bot." Mika walks up to his pede, causing the Prime to look down at her. "We haven't had any con activity, and old Megsy seem's preoccupied with healing from the last time you kicked his aft."

"Mika!" Ratchet shouted. "Language!"

"You say it all the time!" Mika retorted causing the medic to sputter.

"I'm older!"

"Ancient." Miko snickered only to yelp when a wrench went flying at her. "HEY! I'M FRAGILE!"

The Medic smirked sadistically as he pulled out three more wrenches. 

"Uh... never mind." Miko dived behind Bulkhead's foot, said mech was laughing.

"What about a carwash?" Rafael offered. 

Bumblebee beeped confused.

"Yeah," Raf turned to his guardian. "A Carwash, no Bee it doesn't hurt."

"Car wash?" Ratchet asked incredulously. "We could rust!"

"No you wont." Mika groaned at her bickering bot. "Please guys? For us? We want to help you relax."

"I don-" Optimus stopped dead in his sentence as all four children looked at him and he could swear their eye's got even larger and watery as they stared, lower lips trembling and despite his processor telling him it wasn't possible,  their ears almost seemed to droop. He blinked, closing his mouth and staring for a second when Bumblebee was mimicking their looks..."Very well." Optimus conceded.

"What?!" Ratchet turned to him, "But Optimus! Don't tell me you fell for that typical earthling trick!" He whirled on the four children and Bee with all intentions on scolding them only to freeze up as their look was sent his way.

Optimus' gaze turned to a wide eye'd Ratchet who was gaping at the sight and his lip almost quirked in amusement. Now who was falling for the... earthling trick?

"Please Ratchet?" Mika's voice quivered and he watched as his medic visibly squirmed.

"I!.... YOU!..... Fine, but I won't like it!" Ratchet huffed as he promptly turned back to his computer's grumbling to himself, even more so when the children gave a cheer and disappeared to get supplies.

'Your so grouchy' Mika mused as her and the others got their supplies 'but so caring deep down... I think that's why I... that's why I love you so much. No matter what I've done you still care about me and watch over me... my own demons and creepy abilities don't scare you... and you don't care that my father is a Decepticon. Oh Ratchet... I wish I could tell you how I feel... but I'm just a human to you...'  

When they all returned with supplies they'd need and all in bathing suits under their cloths and took their bots outside, all the stuff they'd need was ready. All the bots transformed into their Alternative forms and awaited this.... car wash. Bumblebee was first and the scout squeaked when the water hit him and practically purred as he was scrubbed down, he shook a few times and laughed here and there when Raf would reach a tickle spot and then purposely tickle his guardian playfully before rinsing. Arcee enjoyed her wash too, although a bit awkward at first, in the end she felt like she just got a nice massage. Bulkhead was NOISY with his wash and Miko endlessly teased him for it as she scrubbed him down, laughing at all his noises and the spots that were ticklish that she would purposely get only to shriek when he chased her around in his vehicle mode. In the end Miko tripped and landed in the bucket of soapy water causing Jack and Raf to attack her with the hose. Ratchet was next, said medic throwing a huge fit over the swimming suit Mika was wearing. Her being... indecent. She laughed him off and started his wash, secretly loving being able to touch him without really needing to tell him why, loving being close to him. Ratchet was in heaven, all the time he'd spent on earth was washed away with all the dirt and grime that accumulated over his form and he felt like he was getting the best massage ever. He could even see Optimus greatly enjoyed his wash as well, Raf and Jack teaming up to clean the large alt form of their leader. In the end, the bots were all left to dry in the sun, and they were enjoying it too. Peaceful, quiet with birds singing around them. Miko was inside Bulks alt form, chatting animatedly about anything and everything, Raf in Bee as the two talked about racing and a few other things, Jack with Arcee and Optimus and Mika in Ratchets alt form.

Ratchet couldn't remember the last time he felt so good, and he listened to his charge talking about her future idea's.

"I want to be a medic."

"Hm?"

"Like you." 

He froze, she wanted to be... like him? He felt his spark thrumming and warming at the thought... "Like... me?"

"Yeah. Your a great medic, I want to be just like you. I'll be one of the best Medics ever known, travelling around to help the wounded... When the time come's, I'll take the oath like you did."

If he could blink in this form he would, how did she know about his oath? All Cybertronian medics took it before they went out on the lines. Medics were healers, not killers or warriors. They worked to heal those in need and save lives, not end them. Could she handle being like.. he was? He felt a few doubts raising but shoved them down, he wouldn't crush her dreams.

"That sounds... like a lovely idea." He murmured, watching his charge yawn sleepily and cuddle up to his alt's seats. Ratchet felt himself shutting down for stasis nap as well, smiling in secret fondly over his human charge, He liked feeling her next to him... he secretly activated his holoform when she was sleeping deep enough and he wrapped his arms around her, picking her up and placing her on a bed he had in back of his alt form, brushing her hair out of her face and smiling.

He never wanted to let her go...

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

"-not getting anything."

"Then you have failed your mission!"

The sound of metal crashing stirred Mika from her unconscious state and she blearily opened her eye's, Nemesis was screaming at Hatchet in rage. She shifted, only to desperately try and withhold a cry of pain. What happened to her?

"No Master, I have not. Through experimentation I have made a way for the cortical psych patch to work on humans. I've searched her memories, this human is not of this realm."

Flashes went through Mika's mind, Hatchet and the saw, her screaming... the pain... She felt her eye's prick with tears. He tortured her... 

"What nonsense do you speak?" Nemesis growled, the sound of metal being crunched is heard a long with choking sounds.

"M-Master." Hatchet choked. "The child is from another universe where the Autobots are good and Decepticons bad. She is the charge of a different version of me, a place where our enemies are the villains and we are... good."

Nemesis hissed at this. "Impossible."

"See for yourself."

Static is heard before Mika hear's herself chatting with Optimus... By the sound of the topic it was when Optimus had to Cybonic plague and Bumblebee was off with Arcee to get the Cure. Ratchet was trying to get her away from the ill Prime but she refused to listen and stayed on Optimus' chassis. 

  <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>  

"Mika." The pained and broken voice of the Prime caused her to shudder at the memory. "You s-should not see me like this..."

"Don't, Optimus." She had told him. "I care for you just as much as I do all the other bots. Your always there for us... always. No matter what you always try to put your life on the line." She could hear her voice crack with tears."

"Mika..."

"Shh Optimus rest, please... you need it. I don.. I don't want to lose you. Your my friend, all of our friend and we all love you dearly." She had murmured, using her hand to hold his cheek in a comforting gesture. "Allow someone else to watch over you for once Prime. You deserve rest..."

The Prime gave a defeated exhale, very much to tired to deny her plea and had closed his optics for rest, listening to the human begin telling a tale of the history she had learned. She was trying to distract him from pain and the Prime fell asleep to her kind and soothing voice.

  <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>  

"How sickeningly sweet." Nemesis sneered at the memory that played. Though he was highly fascinated at the prospect of a different realm all together. Perhaps they should study the girl more and find a way to her universe... he would be unstoppable if he and Megatron from her world teamed up together. That is until he overthrows Megatron and leads them all... the power was a very sweet temptation indeed.

"Hey."

Looking up from her silent tears, Mika felt her eye's widen as a green Breakdown stood before her. His frame had cracks and missing pieces and a large gash ran across his left Optic which was black and broken. He was chained to the wall and his breathing was nothing but static.

"B-Breakdown?" She called shakily, her body screamed with pain.

"How do you know my name kid?" His voice was the exact same but the tone matched how Wheeljack would speak.

"M-Megatronus told me." She lied, trying to get up only to whine when pain shot through her body. 

"Hmm, Your awfully wounded." He noted as he looked over her form. "I don't know much about humans."

"I-I'll be fine." She murmured, glancing up at him awkwardly before drifting in and out of sleep. Despite the torture and pain and despite her terror filled mind she could proudly say she kept silent about the Decepticon warship location. However, she couldn't seem to keep them from discovering about the alternative universe. That Psych thing Hatchet modified had showed her memories of the good version of them and she hoped for saving soon before they found anything more aside from those two memories she'd recalled. Her body shuttered at the memory of Hatchets laughter during her cries and please, her screams for Ratchet and Soundwave.... Mika was more terrified of Hatchet then she was of Arachnid, and she was terrified of Arachnid...

"Why would the Autobots want a human?" Breakdown pondered out loud, it was very odd indeed. 

"I'm okay." She brushed him off. "H-how did you get captured?"

"Heh, long story." He gave an amused smirk and his expression and cool attitude definitely reminded Mika of Wheeljack. Perhaps this version of Breakdown was like her version of Wheeljack?

Mika said nothing in reply though, as her wounds began to bother her even more and before she knew it she left the land of awareness. Fizzing in and out of it for who knows how long, listening to the Autobot guard Bulkhead come in and out from taunting Breakdown or leaving scraps behind for the Con to live off of. Her body started feeling nauseated and her head pounded and filled with dizziness when she heard Breakdown calling for her over and over.

"Human."

Mika blinked her eye's back open, Breakdown was staring at her worriedly. "Hm...?"

So tired... She mumbled.

"Someone's coming." He told her, struggling in his restraints. "Hide." He knew that this human would NOT survive another meeting with Hatchet let alone Nemsis who was even more sadistic then the med bot. Besides, he felt like somehow he knew the girl and had to protect her. 

Mika tried pushing herself up, everything felt sore as she dragged herself over to Breakdowns Pede and hid herself behind it, flopping down loudly and taking in ragged breathing to control her know rapidly beating heart. "I'll protect you sweetspark." He assured the terrified human as the sound of pede's grew ever closer.

"Isn't that cute?" The sneer of the Fallen Prime makes Breakdown snarl in distrust and distaste.

"What do you want Fallen?"

"Is that anyway to treat your captor you insufferable fool!?" Mika refrained from crying out in shock as metal hit metal and Breakdown groaned in pain. What did he do? "Where is the human?!"

"I-I'll never tell." Breakdown spat at the Autobots feet and the leader growled angrily. 

...

...

...

"Don't cry."

Hot tears fell down Mika's cheeks as she hiccuped. Breakdowns voice was even more static like then before and filled with pain. She'd been stuck behind him when Nemesis demanded to know where she went, Gladly beating the bot protecting her within an inch of his life before leaving him to leak to death. Forever rotting within the Autobot cell's. 

"Y-your wounded." She sniffled, shakily wiping her eye's.

"S-so are you."

"You got hurt because of me."

"Don't worry your pretty little head sweetspark." The endearment flew from his mouth so easily. Breakdown could feel some sort of connection to this girl and it was bringing up all his protective protocols. 

"I want to go home." She murmured struggling from her position.

"Don't we all?"

The two jerked their heads up to see Hatchet smirking from the door way. "I knew patience would reward myself if I waited and now you've revealed you hiding location, thought you could stay away little girl?"

"Stay way!" Mika shouted fearfully as she crawled over to Breakdowns foot.

"Come away from there girl, or I rip out his spark."

Mika gaped, looking up at Hatchet and then Breakdown. "Don't listen to him, I'll be fine."

The sound of Hatchets surgical drill activated and Mika whirled around to him again, fearfully stepping forward with shaky steps.

"No!" Breakdown called her, while the evil mech smiled.

"That's a good girl." He cooed. "I wouldn't have to hurt such a pretty femme if you'd just tell me where the location of the Decetpticons are.

"Get scrapped." Mika murmured, only to yelp out in fear when she was forcefully lifted up.

"Do not speak to me that way human." His grip caused her to scream in pain as her ribs felt like they were being crushed.

"Leave her be!" Breakdown cried, pulling against his restraints only to be hit across the helm by Arcee who giggled viciously as she walked from the shadows, she followed Hatchet just in case their was a problem, and there was! 

"Breakdown!" Mika cried both in worry and pain.

She wished so badly to be home! 

"The humans crying again." Arcee sneered in disgust.

"Ignore it." Hatchet drawled, "That's all it ever does."

"It doesn't even defend it's self!"

"That is because I disabled the ability to and injected a special serum to block out her abilities." Hatchet growled, she'd lashed out at him during the torture session and he had a large scar on his back from it. Those telekinetic powers of her was a very troublesome thing, as were her cybertronian attributes. But luckily he was able to come up with something to dull the powers greatly and make her all but useless and limp. Though from the looks of it, the serum was partially wearing off as she was able to move and squirm about. If they didn't hurry then it would be ineffective soon.

The human gave a cry of anger at that, she wanted to fight back! She wasn't some weakling! Her mind raced back to all her training with Arachnid, Soundwave, and Dreadwing. Were those all for nothing!? She kicked her feet as anger rose and her eye's began to glow in her fury, if only she could just get her abilities to work! 

"I recommend another interrogation." Hatchet sneered a the human.

Arcee gave a laugh of agreement before she suddenly found herself flung against the wall and knocked out cold.

"What?!" Hatchet looked around wildly, what was that?! 

Next Breakdown suddenly fell from his prison, landing in a groaning heap on the floor and Hatchet was quick to activate his weapons, growling as he looked around for the threat. What was it? Where was it?! He saw movement to the left and fired, missing before turning to the right and firing again. How was he missing? The evil mech roared in frustration before turning and finding himself at the end of a barrel. The Decepticon Starscream stood before him with deadly optics narrowed at him. 

"I'm here to offer a second opinion." The seeker said coldly.

"Starscream!"

Even in this realm the seeker had come to her aid.

...

...

...

For those of you who are NOT a fan of this little version of the story that vears off, there will be about two or three more chapters of Shattered Glass before everything goes back to normal. I know how weird the bots seem here and I hope im not messing up on anything or making them veer off from their G1 SG versioned selves. I've only seen a few eps of G1 after watching a ton of Armada (up till I heard about someone dying that I had become a huge fan of and stopped watching cause like... If I stop watching then it didnt happen! Even though it did...) Animated, ALL of Prime, All the way up to 3rd season of RID, I felt I should watch the Original Transformers. I find it lacking compared to the bots NOW.... mostly the fighting scenes. I was like aww you guys are just like dancing around each other almost... but I still liked it and find myself giggling at Megatron and calling him Bucket head ALL the time now.... Anyway... Like I said before I mostly just READ about SG and got the strong urge to write a version of it. I did do a bit of research on the SG bots, but... still. Anyway... Hope your enjoying my Special! and before you ask YES it did happen. I noticed some were confused on the Spider and the fly part which yeah it did happen, maybe not exactly that way but yeah.... anyway. . . blabbering. 

Oh and My wrist is fine. I got Carpeltunnel or whatever and its acting up. Which is why this took FOREVER to type up... what.... 3-4 days? I dunno. Also! The Italic parts of the story were Mika's memories being viewd by Hatchet, in case that part wasn't figured out.... It was him using the modified patch to view her memories. Though he'd been so shocked about their being another universe he'd stopped after the carwash memory before informing Nemesis and then showing him the one when Optimus had the plague, or rather a part of it. 

Anyway, Tune in next time on

TRANSFORMERS PRIME; THE UNWANTED
