Hunt for the Thirteen

Meanwhile...

Meanwhile, back at the base, Ratchet grumbled as he worked on Chromedome's leg.

"Just got a call from Elita. She hasn't heard anything from Prime or Maim." Ratchet informed the injured bot.

Rewind, perched on Chromedome's shoulder, shared a look with his conjunx.

"The kids will be fine Ratchet."

Though the older bot tried to hide it, it was obvious he was worried about his human twins, Bata and Alex.

"Do you really think Nexus'll do something?" Chromedome questioned. "I mean, she is in Mia's body. Maybe..."

"We...do not know Mia's state right now." Was all Ratchet said, but he fought back a shiver.

"You...don't think Perceptor is right, do you?" Clarissa questioned from where she sat in front of their giant monitor.

Ratchet sighed as he turned to her. "Perceptor's theory. And no but..."

"We have to consider all options." Clarissa finished. "I know but its..."

"Really hard to think about." Chemico said as she drove into the base.

Her car alt mode perfectly hide her sparkeater traits, but it was never much good for disguise. Her alt mode was a cybertronian car covered in neon green spikes. Good for surviving in the gladiator pits, not so much robots in disguise.

The minicon alliance followed behind her.

Their leader, Jumpwire, followed by Failsafe, Aquadrone, Trench, Ammo, and Grav-0.

Hailey reached over to take Clarissa's hand. "The hardest things to face prepares us." Her voice varied in pitches, due to her cybernetics.

Clarissa gave a small smile. But Perceptor's voice rang through her ears.

No one knew what to make of Nexus's and Mia's combination. (Brainstorm's wording "She's the Prime of combination, we have to call it that") Or ghostly possession. Whatever.

The point was, what were they to do about it? A giant alien god has possessed her little sister.

Perceptor, not meaning to be cruel, only logical, had put out the theory that a human's body could not sustain a cybertronian spirit.

"Its possible Nexus will only use Mia's body until it burns out." He had said, right in front of Clarissa, Benny, and the other humans.

Brainstorm had slapped his forehead. "The kids, Percy." He had grumbled under his breath.

"You mean..." Bee had questioned. "Mia could just...die. Her energy...drained."

Perceptor saw his mistake immediately and tried to point out the probability of his theory being correct (5.66666667%, note this is based on all ghostly possesion media I could find on earth).

But still, the possibility was there.

And as the video that suddenly took over the center console in the room proved, possibility was very powerful.

Because what was the possibility of this?

  
 

Bata Portal Drachet-Hamato-Joe was the daughter of Ratchet and Drift. But Rewind was her godbot and she defiantly took after him.

Knockout thought as he peered down at the girl.

She was adjusting her helmet, telling him it was to get a better shot.

"Shot for what?"

"The vidfeed of course!" She had replied.

"Vidfeed?"
