Nahko's POV

"I've got news!" Knockout declares as he enters my cell with my energon cube.

"You seem chipper" I state.

"Today you get to leave your cell for awhile" he tells me.

"It's today?" I ask shocked as I take the cube.

"Yep, cortical physic patch day. Now we'll finally know how you came to be" he states.

"I've already told Megatron, what happened to me can't be replicated" I tell him. Before drinking my cube.

"Maybe not by the autobots, but we decepticons have more cybertronian technology at our disposal" he reminds me.

"Along with no regard for human life" I add glaring at him.

"True" he agrees nodding his head. He holds his hand out and I hand him the empty cube. "Gotta go prepare for the procedure, it'll be happening in a few hours. We are going to collect energon ready for pick up first" he tells me. Before leaving.

'Ok, it is nearly time' I tell the Primes nervous.

'Do not be nervous young one' Solus tells me.

'We are with you' Alpha Trion adds. 'We believe in you' he tells me.

'You remember the plan?' Solus asks me.

'Once out of the cell, send a wave of energy to knock my guards away. Then take off flying through the halls looking for a way out or somewhere to hide' I state. I sit and wait for the guards to arrive, conserving my strength.

(Elsewhere on the Nemesis) Third Persons POV

When Bulkhead woke up and realized he was on the Nemesis. He realized this might be his best chance to save Nahko. So he started to search for her while avoiding being spotted. Until he runs in Starscream. "Why is it that every time I return to my old stomping grounds, I find an Autobot roaming the halls?" Starscream complains.

"Don't tell me you came crawling back to Megatron" Bulkhead retorts.

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

"Scream you gotta take me to the brig and then show me the way off this boat" Bulkhead tells him.

"Sorry, too busy" Starscream tells him.

"Look, when you needed help..." Bulkhead starts to say.

"As I recall, we bartered. So unless you have anything of value to offer me, step aside" Starscream tells him.

"The brig and exit now" Bulkhead demands.

"I may have given Arcee a free pass when she and I last met but I won't hesitate to skewer you as I did a certain Cliffjumper" Starscream states scratching Bulk's chassis. Bulkhead then sends him flying with a hit from his club. Starscream activates his blasters. "Perish, Bulkhead" he says, but he was no match for Bulkhead. Who killed him.

He pulls him out of sight and continues his search for Nahko. Praying he finds her soon. And that she is ok.

(Cell) Nahko's POV

I hear something outside my cell and get up. Thinking it was the cons, but I shocked when Bulkhead breaks down the door. "Bulkhead!" I cheer and fly over to him.

"Nahko!" he cheers hugging me. "Lets get you out of here" he states.

"How did you find the ship? How did you find me? Are the others here too?" I ask him.

"I found the ship by accident and it's just me" he states. "Now we got to be quiet and all stealthy" he tells me. I nod my head and we leave the cell.

"We gotta be quick, they were planning on taking me to the lab soon and when they discover me not in the cell. An alarm will be raised" I tell him. He nods his head.

"A com-unit" he says spotting a computer console. He goes over to it. "Bulkhead to base, do you read? Do you copy?" he asks trying to contact base. He gets no response. "Hey, what you stupid com tech. Is this thing even on?" he asks and an alarm starts to go off.

"Turn it of" I tell him. He does so and sighs in relief. We see shadows of guards approaching and take off. "This way" I say and go into the vents. He follows me.

"Where are we going?" he asks me.

"No idea, but something is telling me to go this way" I tell him. He nods his head and we crawl through the vents together. Bulkhead muttering under his breath. "Quiet" I whisper yell at him. We freeze when we see a pair of feet.

"Lord Megatron" a voice says.

"Yes, what is it?" the owner of the feet asks. I gulp, great we just had to be right next to Megatron.

"An intruder" the voice answers.

"Autobot?" he asks.

"Starscream" they voice answers. "He was last seen in the vicinity of the bridge" the voice states.

"I'm on my way, tell Knockout to post-pone the cortical physic patch for the time being. Ensure our prisoner has guards" Megatron orders. Before heading back the way he came.

"Great, it won't be long until someone notices you broke down my door. We better hurry" I tell Bulkhead. He nods his head and we continue on our way.

"Do you hear that?" he asks and I pause. I listen closely.

"It sounds like wings" I state and suddenly something hits the ship hard. Sending us into the wall. "The ship is under attack" I state.

"Keep moving" he tells me and I do so. We soon reach a hatch and I point to it. He breaks it up and we jump down into the room below. "The power core" he states.

"Now what do we do?" I ask him.

"One way or another, we're getting off this boat" he tells me making a wrecking ball with his servo. "Hop on" he says pointing to his back. I do so and he then jumps off the platform and smashes into the power core. The ship starts to lose power. "Time to go" he states and takes off running with me on his back still.

We soon reach the flight deck and run into Starscream. Bulkhead looks like he's seen a ghost as Starscream leaves. I hop off his back and he transforms. I dive into his vehicle mode as the ship crash lands. He jumps off it and speeds off towards base.

(Time skip)

We arrive after a long drive and he lets me get out before entering the main room hooking his horn. "Guys, you are not gonna believe the day I had. Oh, you too, huh?" he asks and I come up behind. I see Airachnid trapped in some sort of pod.

"Whoa, see you caught a bug" I state.

"Nahko!" they all yell and Jazz hugs me with Bumblebee.

"How did you escape?" Ratchet asks.

"Bulkhead saved me" I say with a smile and look up at my former guardian.

"Thank you Bulkhead, for saving my charge and friend" Jazz says.

"Anytime, besides she was my charge first" Bulkhead states.

"How did you find the decepticon warship?" Optimus asks.

"Yeah, funny story" he states. Then starts to explain how he found it and ended up on board. While Ratchet gives me a scan and a clean bill of health. Along with an energon cube, as my energon levels were a little low.
