Misty-blue's POV

It's been about a week since Smokescreen joined us. Bulkhead still hasn't been cleared for duty by sire Ratchet. Though he's improved a lot over the last week. Raf has been grounded, so can't leave his house except for school. Sucks to be him. I'm no longer grounded, but I am not allowed out of base alone. I've called Arcee auntie and she nearly squashed me when she hugged me tightly. I've decided Bumblebee is a big brother and he loves me calling him big brother. Smokescreen is a little disappointed I don't see him as a brother, but doesn't push the matter. I still haven't called Optimus uncle yet though.

Anyway, the loud man agent Fowler is here. I'm enjoying my energon cube as he tells the others about a recent event. "At 16:30 hours, a satellite was stolen from a high-security military bolt.
Surveillance shows the Decepticon known as Breakdown at the scene" Fowler explains.

"Haven't seen him in a while" Bulk states.

"Who's Breakdown?" I ask Jack and Miko.

"Bulkhead arch enemy, like Airachnid is Arcee's" Miko tells me. I nod my head. We tune back into the conversation as sire Ratchet zoomed in on Breakdown.

"It looks like Breakdown entered the base in vehicle mode with someone behind the wheel" Fowler states.

"A Decepticon paired with a human?" sire Ratchet asks. Looking surprised. I frown, I thought cons didn't like humans. Why would Breakdown be riding with one?

"And I have a pretty good hunch who. The stolen satellite was project Damocles" Fowler tells us.

"Invented by Silas" Optimus states and I squeak dropping my empty cube.

"Everything is fine Misty-blue, you're safe" sire Ratchet assures me.

"But I thought Silas was off lined" I state confused.

"We all did" Arcee tells me.

"Agent Fowler, even if he were alive, are you suggesting that Silas has allied MECH with the Decepticons? I highly doubt that Megatron would entertain such an idea" Sire Ratchet states. Is does seem farfetched.

"Why not? The human-bot alliance works for us" Jack states.

"Most of the time" Arcee agrees.

"What is Damocles?" I ask agent Fowler curious. He pulls up an image of it on screen.

"Damocles is a particle-beam cannon so powerful it can slice up the Pentagon like a birthday cake or give everyone on Mount Rushmore a mohawk, all from a satellite in orbit. It's the work of a madman. And in Megatron's hands a threat to anyone, anywhere on the planet. With pinpoint accuracy at the flick of a switch" he explains.

"Then why haven't they used it yet?" I ask confused.

"The Cons may have the satellite, but they can't use it without the interface code. The only existing copy is stored on the secured servers at headquarters in Colorado" he explains.

"We must keep the code out of Decepticon hands at all costs" Optimus states.

"It's roll time" Bulk cheers.

"Ep, ep! I have not yet cleared you for active duty, nor are you ready to roll" sire Ratchet tells him. Bulkhead grumbles in complaint under his breath. Fowler has the human base evacuated and Ratchet sends the team to it. But the cons had gotten there first and a battle starts. I pray sire isn't there. I hate him fighting the autobots and wish he'd join us.

"Are you ok Blue?" Bulk asks me.

"Yes, just thinking" I mutter.

"About your birth sire?" sire Ratchet asks and I nod my head.

"Why doesn't he leave Megatron? Didn't he love my carrier? Doesn't he love me?" I ask him.

"Oh sweet spark" sire Ratchet says picking me up. "Dreadwing loved your carrier and loves you greatly. But he swore a vow to fight by Megatron and to serve him. His code will not allow him to break his vow for anything. The fact he has allowed you to live with us, shows that he cares for your safety and wants you safe from this war" he tells me.

"I hate all this fighting, I don't understand it" I tell him pouting.

"You will one day, when you're older" he assures me.

"Ratchet, we require back up!" Optimus says over the comms. Sire Ratchet puts me down.

"I'm there" Bulk says. Sire Ratchet stops him from going.

"Can you remotely disable project Damocles under Agent Fowler's advisement?" Optimus asks.

"On a human-based computer network without my backup? Without Rafael?" he asks.

"We need Raf" I say softly. So sire Ratchet sends Fowler and the other human children to Raf's house. They explained the situation to him and while Bulk went to cover them. After much begging from Bulkhead to be allowed to go help.

Good thing to as Breakdown, aka Cylas was sent to kill Raf and the other humans. But Bulkhead and Smokescreen (who had gone to back up Bulkhead) stopped him. While Raf was able to hack into Damocles navigation system. And was able to redirect it to burn up in Earth's atmosphere. 

Though Cylas and the cons escaped. According to Optimus and the others, my sire had not been present at the human base. Which I am glad about. Bulkhead now likes Smokescreen and has started to tell him wrecker stories. Even promised to show him a few moves. The others all returned safely and were given a clean bill of health by Sire Ratchet.

A few days later I meet up with my sire at his brother's grave. He told me Cylas will no longer be a problem and assured me that he is safe. I told him about my new names for the autobots and he was happy I've found bots who love me. Though he regrets that he can't raise me with Chormia. He told me about how they meet and fell in love. Before sire Ratchet appeared to take me back home. Sire thanked him for raising me and left. Sire Ratchet and I returned to base. Not knowing what the cons will unearth tomorrow.
