"Duck!"

"Huh?!"

"Curse you Autoscum!"

"Rahhhh!"

"Tell me again, why you made me come out here?" Mika snapped to her Vehicon guardian.

Yup.

You heard it.

Steve was stuck with the squishy.

Hooray... *Gotta love that Sarcasm.*

How might you ask, did he get stuck with the squishy? Well, He was supposed to be going on a simple energon run at one of the mines. Only, the others got a call about a relic being uncovered within the vicinity. Yup, in range of where he was. Steve just so happened to be stuck with the human because Breakdown had been overseeing the run and ran off with the orders to retrieve said relic.

So now, Steve grumbled to himself, he was stuck with the human while fighting Autobots and avoiding return fire while the girl sat upon his shoulder. You'd think the bots wouldn't shoot with the human on his frame but no. They fired.

He just assumed that they hadn't seen the girl yet.

Not only was he doing all that, but he was distracted by said human as her gaze locked onto a large blue portal that Ratchet and Raf appeared through, seemingly to be chasing a familiar black and pink haired girl.

"Is that-" Mika paused, her eye's looking down to see Miko running for the relic that the Vehicons had dug up. The bots were all fighting over it viciously and before she could say anything, Ratchet had found Steve's location and activated his medical blades for a fight.

"Where do you think your going?" He asked the Vehicon that had been inching away while scowling..

Mika, who wasn't paying attention, watched the death match between Megatron and Optimus before switching her gaze to the ever so sneaky Knockout who had gotten closer to the relic, a cylinder of some sort.

"Come to papa~" Knockout purred as he bent down to pick it up.

Noting that the con was about to get it, Bulkhead raced forth, ramming his shoulder into his body and making the red con go flying and crashing into the ground. "Run to mommy!" He taunted, refraining from laughing at the cons indignant scream about his finish being scuffed. Bulkhead suddenly found himself smashed to the ground and the heavy weight of Breakdown crushed him to the ground, causing the mech to groan.

"Say uncle!" Breakdown sneered as he pounded onto the green Autobot. "Say it!"

Mika tuned back into Steve's battle when she felt her world shift and move, the two were fighting and Mika wasn't very happy about almost falling off the Vehicons shoulder as he fought Ratchet. She knew she had to get to the relic before anyone else did, an instinctual feeling over coming her only to be replaced in panic as Raf neared the relic with Miko and a few straggler Vehicons taking aim. She cursed in her head before acting on impulse, jumping from Steve's shoulder and running down his arm towards a surprised Ratchet.

"Mika?!" Ratchet gasped only to attempt to catch the girl as she jumped off and used his frame to get to the ground. Worry coursing through him as he saw her general direction heading for Miko and Rafael. "Get back here!" He shouted, punching Steve hard in the face and knocking him out. (An; Nuuuu Steve! You bastards Q_Q ) He quickly followed her in pursuit, dodging gun fire and hits sent his way as determination to capture her flowed through him.

Mika skillfully, *Thanks to her training* Dodged everything around her as she concentrated on the direction her friends were, determined to get there before the Vehicons decided on either to shoot or not.

"Go!" She heard Megatron shout to her. "Do not fail me Soulspark!"

Mika narrowed her eye's at the relic, getting closer and closer to it and she could practically taste the victory on her tongue when Ratchets hand snatched her from the ground, knocking the air out of her body. "No!"

"Gotcha!" Ratchet almost cheered before bringing her up to stare at her. He'd finally caught her... and he refused to release her again.

Panicking, Mika had to come up with a plan quick, as the V0ehicons weapons began charging and they locked onto their target and a struggling, infuriated Bumblebee attempting to get to his charge.

Rafael.

"No!" Mika shouted before an Idea hit her, a relatively stupid and risky idea.... Using the proximity between her and Ratchet to her advantage, Mika planted her lips on his metal ones, *trying hard to ignore the electrical tingles that ran down her body* making the medic freeze in shock and his grip loosen. This allowed Mika to be able to slip away, ignoring his enraged shout.

How dare she do such a thing? Ratchet quickly follows her and lunges, but he missed and slammed into the dirt with a grunt, watching as she reached the relic and-

"Raf!" Mika shouted, colliding with the kid and pulling him away from a shot. Miko had been pulled back before she got there by Bulkhead.

Only, Mika's leg burned horribly and she let out an agonized cry that seemed to pause the battle between both bot and con.

"Mika?" Optimus's voice trailed off to her, his eyes looking at her  wounded leg. There was a horrible burn mark in her leg and human blood  pooling beneath the crying girl. Her expression was nothing but agonized  pain as she clutched her leg.

"Scrap." Arcee cursed as she raised her weapons unsure.

"What did you do?!" Steve shouted at another Vehicon, having woken up at the sound of her pained cry.

"W-wha? I didn't know she'd jump in the way!"

"You shot her!"

"It was an accident!"

"Tell that to Soundwave!"

The bots watched all the Vehicons and cons alike tense and a few glitch. ".... who's going to tell Soundwave?"

"You're the one who shot her."

"ACCIDENT!"

"Mika!" Raf pulled himself up, "Y-you saved me!"

"Ugh... b-burns!" Mika wailed, the searing pain was unlike anything  she'd ever felt before and she couldn't bring herself to move.

"Get back here Mika!" Steve ordered.

She cries in pain but attempts to get up, her hand hitting the relic just as Rafael clung on to her in worry. The moment her hand touched the relic a light emanated from it, glowing brighter and brighter and Megatrons infuriated shout echoes around.

"You were to get the relic not save the human!"

His voice began fading, the light blinding them to all around them but the horrified face of Bumblebee as he raced forward towards them, reaching his hand out in desperation before the whiteness bleached him out, leaving her and Rafael in nothing but a white light.

"Bee!" Raf cried as Mika clung to him protectively before all faded.

...

...

...

"Mika?"

Opening her eyes, Mika looked down to see Raf protectively in her grasp, looking up at her in fear. "Raf?"

"W-what happened?"

Mika went to stand only to cry out in pain from her leg, she had forgotten about it for a minute there.

"Mika!" Raf clenched her shirt in worry. "Y-your injured. You.. you took the shot for me."

"Of course I did." Mika murmured. "I never stopped caring about you all..."

"Then..." Raf looked down. "Why did you leave?"

"... I-"

"What are two humans doing here?" and unfamiliar voice spoke.

Mika looked up in alarm at the voice, eye's spotting... Arcee? "Arcee!" Mika cried happily. "You made it out okay. Did..." Mika looked around the area confused. The world around them was rather dark, the sky a dark dark almost black red and the land around them covered in ash and rock. No sign of plant life anywhere. What the hell happened? "Did Megatron retreat?"

"Who is Megatron?" Arcee tilted her head and that's when Mika blinked and actually concentrated on the femme. Her once blue eye's were blazing red.

"A-Arcee?" Raf shook. "Why are your optics red? They were blue...?"

Come to think of it, Arcee's coloring was different too. Instead of blue with pink accents Arcee was a mix between dark orange and purple, her Autobot symbol upon her form was now purple instead of the normal red.

"I think the fleshy's are confused." Arcee replied with a sadistic smile that sent chills down the two's spine. "What do you think, Wasp?"

A buzz sounded, very much sounding like the buzz of an enraged wasp causing the two to turn around and spot a Bumblebee look a like with yellow optics and blue and black coloring. The bot, though looking a like to Bumblebee, was terrifying to look at and his very look made the children cling to each other. He gave another buzz before stepping forward threateningly.

"Agreed. Perhaps we should take them back to Prime."

Optimus? Mika looked back up, what was going on?

"Come here fleshy, don't make me use force."

Wasp buzzed in agreement though he had this blood thirsty look upon his form. Like he wanted to have to use force.

"B-Bumblebee?"

"His names Wasp kid." Arcee sneered. "and your coming with us." But before she could act, the sound of an engine cut her off and a bot transformed not far from them from the sky, dropping down with expertise landing.

Megatron?

"Not so fast." Megatron spoke, his sword out. "Autobots." He spat.

Megatron, or rather a look a like who's frame was white and red instead of grey and purple, took a threatening step forward, blue optics narrowed.

Blue?

"I don't know how you two survived." A Blue Knockout with blue optics had come, transforming into his main body. "But you better get out of the way quick. This can get ugly." He spoke to the two children.

"I see Prime isn't with you today." Megatron spoke. "Back away from the humans Arcee."

"Not a chance Megatronus, Prime will be here shortly."

The sound of a jet alerted the four bots to another presence as Starscream appeared, transforming mid air and landing a kick to Wasp and sending him flying back before punching Arcee back and quickly detonating his missile to blow her father.

"Quickly." He started, his blue optics staring down at them. "Get to safety."

Starscream, who's body was now white, red and blue, stood over them protectively.

"Starscream!" Arcee snarled. "I was hoping you'd show your ugly mug."

The seeker said nothing, his eye's narrowed as he reached behind him and his wing detached and turned into a sword. "Stay away Autobot, you've been warned."

Like a flick of a switch, the bots all suddenly attacked. Arcee against Starscream and Knockout against Wasp. Starscream dodged hit's from Arcee, using his sword to deflect her gun fire and slice at her only for the femme to land on his sword and punch the seeker back and passed Knockout who was using his special electrical trident against Wasp. Wasp was buzzing angrily as he threw punch after punch, being hit by Knockouts stinging trident. Angry, he used a series of moves and punches before procuring Knockouts weapon and turning it against him, giving a buzzing laugh as he constantly shocked the Decepticon and taking glee in his pained yelps.

Mess with the wasp and you get massacred, he'd always say.

Rafael and Mika watched in horror as they fought before they found themselves in the grasp of Megatronus.

"Do not worry." He spoke as he carefully held them within his grasp. "I shall get you to safety."

He made his way away from the battle, preparing to transform and call a retreat with the humans now that they were safe, when the sound of a large truck met his audio receivers and he turned to see a dark black truck racing forward before transforming and landing with a loud thud.

"Megatronus." Mika shivered in terror at the tone, it was demonic sounding as an Optimus look a like stood before them, coloring's dark and optics purple. "Been a while. Are you enjoying the human free land?"

"Nemesis Prime." Megatronus carefully set the two behind him upon a large boulder, ordering them to be careful. "I won't let you get away today."

"We shall see."

"One shall rise." Megatronus raised his weapon with narrowed optics.

"And One shall fall, you really should get a new line." Nemesis prime sneered as he too activated his weapon, a large purple glowing ax.

"What is going on?" Mika asked as she held Raf to her, completely confused and unsure what to do know...

Where were they?
