Misty-Blue's POV

I'm no longer grounded and sire allowed me to go on a drive with Bulkhead. "When will I be able to transform?" I ask him.

"No idea, you'd have to ask Ratchet that" he tells me. Suddenly he beeps. "Odd" he says.

"What is it?" I ask him curious.

"Just picked up a strong reading" he states. "Bulkhead to base, picked up a strong reading. Gonna check it out with Misty-blue" he adds. Going off road.

"Be-careful and Misty-blue stay close to Bulkhead" Sire tells us. We agree and end the conversation. Bulkhead follows the reading and soon stops. I get out and he transforms.

"Stay close and scout the area" Bulkhead tells me and I nod my head. We start to scout the rocky area. And I wasn't paying attention to the ground. As I suddenly begin to fall and scream. "Misty-blue!" Bulk shouts as I start to hoover half way down the hole.

"I'm ok, but I think I found the source of the signal" I state as I look up at him. He sighs in relief, seeing me ok.

"Uh, no sign of activity" he states.

"Want me to check it out?" I ask him.

"No, wait there and I'll climb down to you" he states. He starts to climb down as I hoover. He's soon level with me.

"Is that what I think it is?" I ask Bulk gesturing to the crates below us. He looks down at them.

"Energon, boxed and ready for pick up" he states. Suddenly we hear a large aircraft over head. "Scrap" he curses as we look up to the Nemesis. A tube heads our way. "Misty-blue!" he exclaims jumping away from the wall and grabbing me. Causing us both to fall into the crates below. He protected my body, but we still both got knocked out.

"Come on kid wake up" Bulk says quietly shaking me awake gently.

"Bulk" I say confused.

"Oh thank the All Spark, are you ok?" he asks me concerned.

"Yes, where are we?" I ask him. Noticing all the crates of energon around us.

"The Nemesis, the good thing is the cons haven't noticed us yet. Bad news, can't reach the others. So we have to find our own way off of this ship" he explains.

"Ok, but we have to be silent and stealthy" I tell him. He nods his head in agreement. He signals me to stay behind him and we left the room silently. We soon hear someone Bulk activates his cannons and I fly to the ceiling out of the way. As we went down a hall backwards.

"Starscream!" Bulk says shocked and I look down to see a thin grey seeker with heels. Still think he should be a femme bot. But who am I to argue with Primus about how he makes us.

"Why is it every time I return to my old stomping grounds, I find an autobot roaming the halls?" Starscream grumbles. I stay up high being quiet, hoping he won't notice me.

"Don't tell me you came crawling back to Megatron" Bulk says.

"Hardly, now out of my way" Starscream tells him.

"Scream, you show us the way off this boat" Bulk tells us.

"Us?" Starscream asks.

"I mean me, only I'm here and you" Bulk rants.

"Sorry, too busy" Starscream tells him.

"Look, when you needed help..." Bulk tries to reason with him.

"As I recalled, we battered" Starscream tells him. "So unless you have anything of value, to offer me. Step aside" he tells Bulk.

"The exit, now" Bulk says firmly.

"I may of given Arcee a free pass, last time she and I met" Starscream says and cuts Bulk with his long sharp nails. "But I won't hesitate to skewer you as I did Cliffjumper" he states. I gasp, he killed Arcee's old partner? "What was..." he starts to say and Bulk hits him.

"Misty-blue close you eyes and cover your ears" Bulkhead tells me. I do as I'm told. Soon I feel him grab me and hold me close. "Don't look Misty-blue" he tells me and I nod my helm. He walks away from the scene. "A com unit" he says excitedly.

He approached and put me down. He starts to push random buttons. "Do you know what you're doing?" I ask him.

"Of course" he says a loud beeping sounds. "Bulkhead to base, do you read me? Do you copy?" he asks. It starts to flash. "You stupid com tech, is this even on" he mutters. I press a button and stops beeping. We hear someone approaching.

We hide. "What now?" I ask in a whisper.

"I'm thinking" he whispers back. We leave the room. "Got it, but we have to remain quiet" he tells me and I nod my help. We crawl through the corridors. To avoid detection. It'd be a lot easier if Bulkhead stopped saying 'stealthy'.

I go to shush him when we heard loud footsteps and freeze. "Lord Megatron" we hear someone say and hold our breaths. As Bulk peaked out of our hiding spot.

"Yes, what is it?" a mech ask.

"An intruder" the same voice tells him.

"Autobot?" Megatron asks.

"Starscream, he was last seen in the vicinty of the bridge" the mech tells him. Megatron left. Bulkhead and I sigh in relief. We continue on to our destination. Which turns out to be the engine room. Which is unguarded, surprisingly.

"Now what?" I ask him confused.

"One way or another, we're getting off this boat" he states turning one of his hands into a wrecking ball. "Get on and hold on tight" he tells me and I do so. He jumps and rams his ball into the engine. Setting off multiple explosions. I screamed as I clanged to him.

"Seriously, that was you're big idea?! Blow the ship up with us in it?!" I demand.

"Well you didn't suggest anything" he states.

"They have a ground bridge, had you taken me to it. I could of gated us out of here" I state.

"Now you tell me" he grumbles as the ship stars to lose altitude. "To late now" he states. He runs for it as I cling to him. We make it to a landing platform. Starscream ran into us as he fled. Bulkhead transforms and I get in as the ship crash lands. He takes off away from it, with no cons following us.

He drives us back to base. As soon as we arrived. I got out and flew into sire's arms shaking. "What's wrong?!" Ratchet demands as he holds me.

"Guys, you are not going to believe the day we had" Bulk tells them. He then notices the stasis pod with a scary femme inside. "Oh, you to huh?" he asks.

"What happened Misty-blue?" Ratchet asks me. "Why do you look so scared?" he asks me.

"We went to investigate the strong reading and found boxed energon. Then we ended on the Nemesis" I state.

"What?!" they all exclaim.

"Are you hurt?" Ratchet asks.

"Did they see you?" Arcee asks.

"Don't worry, no one saw Misty-blue and we managed to destroy the power core during our escape" Bulkhead tells them. "I have a few scratches and dents, but she's unharmed" he adds. "So how did you catch Airachnid?" he asks.

"Later, right now Misty-blue needs a scan and so do you" Ratchet states.

"Can I recharge on your berth tonight?" I ask him.

"Of course" he tells me in a gentle. "But no more outside excursions with Bulkhead. That's twice now he's put you in the path of decepticons. I won't risk losing you" he states. I nod my head in understanding. Though the first time was my fault and today was supposed to be a joy ride.
