Midna was walking next to me as we were making our way to the bridge. I was surprised by her form. Her gift from her grandparents was a watch of alien technology that made her a femma size Xeno suit. It took me almost a cycle before I started working again. When I did, Nitrous had entered and almost fired on Midna. Lucky Midna was fast, and she was able to block the attack. After some explaining, Nitrous gave Midna something before leaving the room.

That was a couple of cycles ago, and we had almost reached the bridge when Midna let out a yelp. I jumped at it and turned around, but she wasn't at my side anymore. I looked down, and she was back in her standard size. I reached down to pick her up and place her regular spot. That was when she pulled out the device that Nitrous had given her.

"EMP? That is one possibility. Though there could be a couple of other reasons." Midna mussed over the object. My visor was still broken since Knock Out hadn't gotten a replacement for me. When I entered, Dreadwing and Knock Out were lined up. I took my place next to Dreadwing, and if I had to guess, we were in line for yelling about our relics that we were sent to retrieve. Megatron was already there, and he wasn't happy. Actually, that was an understanding he was furious. Hardshell finally showed up, and that was when Megatron started to speak to all of us.

"How is this possible?! Four relics, each within our grasp. And yet, only Soundwave has returned with something other than an excuse!" Megatron explained.

I felt Midna tapping me with her feet. I looked up at her, and I could see she had a smile on her face. It said, "Well done." I smirked under my visor. For two things, because of her smile and the fact she was still paying attention to Megatron and her object.

Then Megatron stopped in front of Hardshell, "Tell me, Hardshell. What is yours?!"

"I have none, My Lord. We failed to retrieve the Tox-En. But the green Autobot has been... terminated."

'Wait?'

"Then perhaps this day is not lost after all." Megatron speculated.

"If that is true." I turned my helm toward Knock Out, and Midna was now paying attention, "It has been a while since anyone has extinguished an Autobot's spark." He stepped out.

"Because," I looked over at Hardshell just a bit, "It has been a while since an Insecticon warrior has been provided the opportunity to do so."

"Really now? Because the bug under my command was utterly useless." Knock Out tested.

Hardshell let out a roar before both were interrupted by Megatron, "Enough! Hardshell, are you certain the one called Bulkhead was exterminated?"

"By my very own hand, Lord Megatron."

I was on the bridge still messing with the device that Nitrous had found. Sound had kicked me out of the room when I had caused a slight EMP discharge in the room. Cause Sound to lose some of his progress on the database. He had also finally gotten his visor replaced too. I sighed and pulled out my phone and saw that it was the 15th of January.

'To think that I've had this device for a while, and I still haven't figured it out. I will get it soon. I know it.'

I was at the main panel when Knock Out, Hardshell, and two Insecticons entered the room. I put my device down and looked up.

"Just look what they've done." Knock Out complaining about his paint job.

"Spare me the dramatics, Knock Out. It's merely a scratch." Megatron explained.
