Miko sighed and threw a small rock at a severed con frame. After the bots had left, save Ratchet, they had been on pick up duty, cleaning up and destroying whatever was left from battles between the Autobots and the Decpticons.
It had been two years since they left. At first it wad almost like Bulkhead had never left. He commed her every day, updated her on what was happening on Cybertron, what the gang was up to. But as the months past, his calls shortened to twice a week, to once a week, to twice a month and now...she rarely heard from him. The teen kicked a rusting con helm on the ground, a foot soldier, one that was easily expendable. Miko frowned.
" Stupid con...." and whispered under her breath.
" We clear to go?" A voice asked from her comm. Ratchet.
He decided to stay. He felt he was needed more on earth then at his home, and aided herself and Jack on clean up missions. Raf....he was the man in the chair. He felt that this work didn't suite him.
" All clear doc!" She replied.
" Since were in the middle of nowhere, I think we don't have to worry about civilians."
" Miko, how many times have I told you not to call me doc....now get Jackson. I'm opening the bridge. The reprogramed scraplets will be taking care of the mess in ten minutes."
The teen grunted in acknowledment and walked off to find Jack. It still surprised her that he turned down M.I.T for this job. Two years ago when the bots left, Fowler had made them Junior agents in training. Since then all of them now worked full time for the government, getting rid of the left over cytrobian tech, so it wouldn't fall into the wrongs hands....like Silas and his group.
" Yo Jack! Its time to go!!!" The asian teen shouted. Jack was several yards off examining the remains of what appeared to be a seeker.
" This one's new." He said seriously as Miko approached his side, pointing at the dead mech. The girl shot him a confusing look.
" Whatcha mean by that?" She asked curiously. Jack pulled out a piece of equipment Ratchet had given him and handed it to her.
" Two things Miko. One, we've never seen this con before. He has a seeker frame. And two from what that instrument read, he died only a few hours ago." He said with a uncomfortable sigh.
" Send a picture to Ratchet. See if he can identify the con."
Miko nodded and pulled out her phone and snapped several pictures from different angles. She gave a shudder as she viewed the mech. He had a similar look to that of Starscream, but his frame and face plate were a bit more manly. Miko climbed up and stood on his chassis to get a better helm shot, a chill went up her spine as the hollow optics seemed to stare at her.
The teen sent them with a attached text.
" Yo Doc! Have ya seen this mech before? The scanner read that he died just a few hours ago."
Within seconds the autobot medic replied with a comm.
" Dear Primus...." he whispered.
" That's Thundercracker. He's one of Starscream's brothers. He was our double agent. I-I thought he died years ago....I had no idea he was on earth. I need to examin the corps...I'm stopping the scraplets for now. Come back and help me hook up a trailer to my alt."
With that he hung up. The two looked at each other and nodded. They knew what was coming.
As if on cue a bright green light flashed before their eyes. Without hesitation the two ran through and watched from the other side as it closed. Waiting for them was Ratchet and Raf. The large bot transformed into his emergency vehicle and sighed.
" Will one of you please hitch that trailer?" The medic said sharply. Seeing that there were no other trailers in the base except the one behind Ratchet. Miko assumed that this was the one. Waving Jack over, the duo pushed it over and connected to Ratchet. The asian teen shot him a thumbs up.
" All ready! Need some help Doc?" She asked. A exhaust sigh came from the ambulance's dash.
" Most likely...." he responded. Ratchet opened bother his doors.
" Alright...get in before I change my processors." He huffed. The dark haired girl cheered silently and Jack gave a small smile. Ever since they left. Ratchet RAF been picky about letting others ride in his alt, except Raf, who somehow had the medic convinced that he was the exception.
Miko hopped into the Driver seat and buckle up and waited for Jack to climb in. Once the two humans were safely buckle in, the elder bot drove through the ground bridge that Raf had opened for them.
On arriving at the spot where the fallen mech was, the two exited Ratchet and got out.
Miko took off into a sprint and was beconed Ratchet to follow.
" Over here!!!" And shouted once and reached the mech. Several seconds later, Ratchet arrived with Jack right behind him. The medic gave a sad sigh at the sight of the fallen warrior. Miko who was sitting cross legged on his chassis raised her hand. The medic rolled his optics at her gesture and scoffed .
" What Miko?" He asked annoyed. The teen smiled.
" Doc? How come none of us had heard of him?"
The medic gazed sadly.
" Well first off we thought he was dead....and second...even if he wasn't, we couldn't risk mentioning him....seeing that he was a double agent....but He was what you humans call a triplet. His bothers were Starscream and Skywarp. The three were a terror during the war. Buy Thundercraker had a change of spark....but he told us he couldn't leave his brothers so he worked as a double agent, giving us valuable information. It a shame we lost contact when we arrived on earth. Now...help me load him on this trailer."
The two humans nodded and aided the mech as he loaded Thundercracker on the trailer. After the corps was securely strapped in, Miko and Jack climbed into Ratchet's alt and nodded.
Ratchet on the other hand commed Raf and told him to activate the Ground bridge and the scraplets. Once the bridge appeared the three disappeared right as their programmed scraplets arrived.
