(Discontinued) Transformers Prime: Rewritten (S1)

Activities List || Darkness Rising

     The kids watched as Optimus, Ratchet, and Sunstreaker disappeared through the groundbridge.

     Miko was the first to speak, turning excitedly to Perceptor. "Who are you? How come we haven't met you? Oh, are you with Jazz?"

     Preceptor stared, taken aback by all the questions. "I am Preceptor, and yes, I am on the same team as Jazz."

Rafael nervously raised a hand before speaking, "How come you're visiting?"

Preceptor glanced at Arcee and the Autobots, before looking at Raf. "My scientific expertise was needed. As it is needed back with my team," he turned back to the groundbridge controls, inputting some coordinates and setting a timer. The red mech then opened the bridge, leaving without a goodbye.

Miko scoffed, "Rude."

     After a bit of silence Jack looked up at Arcee, "Ok chief, so uh, what's on the activities list?"

     Arcee scoffed, rolling her optics. "I'm going on patrol."

     Bulkhead watched as she headed for the exit tunnel, "But Optimus told us to stay?"

     Arcee reached up, padding his arm, "When you're in charge, you can call the shots," she waved Bee over, "Bee, with me!"

     Bee slumped over, ::But I wanted to play video games...:: nonetheless, he followed after Arcee. The two transformed and drove off, leaving the kids and Bulkhead alone.

     The wrecker looked down at the kids, "So uh, what's on the activities list?"

     Miko was plugging in a speaker, "How bout..." she plugged in her guitar, "band practice!"

     Rafael frowned. "But...we're not a band?"

     Miko leaned back dramatically, walking over to Raf and putting a hand on his shoulder. "Why do antisocial? Come on Raf, you play anything?"

     "Um," Rafael held up his laptop, "keyboard?"

     "Laptops and samples, good." She turned around, "Jack?"

     He rubbed the back of his head as Miko marched over. "I sometimes mess around with the harmonica...?"

     Miko frowned. "Do I look like I do country?" Miko stepped closer, "Just...cover yourself in fake blood, and jump around screaming!" She turned again, "Bulkhead, percussion! DIY, we're a band!"

     Everyone gave her unsure looks, to which she ignored. "You just gotta learn the songs," she got her guitar in position, "This one's a ballad. My fist, your face!" Miko shook her fist before starting to play a very loud rock song.

     The base proximity sensor started to go off as Bulkhead covered his audials. He noticed the flashing lights, waving a servo at Miko, "Woah, woah, woah!"

     Miko stopped playing, "Come on, you can't handle raw power?" She jumped a little.

     "Proximity sensor! Quick, hide!"

     The kids briefly looked at each other, before running to hide behind Bulkhead's ped. Miko held her guitar close, trying to not play any notes as the elevator up on the catwalk opened.

     "Prime!" Agent Fowler shouted as he stepped out.

     Bulkhead tried to stand straighter, "Agent Fowler, uh, he's not here. Er, nobody is here. Except me of course." he added awkwardly.

     The man lifted an eyebrow, crossing his arms. "Well, where did he go? Wait, don't tell me. He's out pancaking a mini-mall! Now, I don't know what language you bots speak on your planet, but Prime promised he would handle the decepticons! And blowing a crater in the middle of Nebraska is not what the word 'handling' means in english!"
