Important Note: Hey so since the School year has just begun, Chapters may take longer than expected to come out. However, I promise to continue my efforts to be consistent with my stories. Thank you very much for understanding and Enjoy this Chapter!

The Freezing Arctic was at its peak, and a storm was blowing through. The wind howled as snow began piling up on the icy ground. In the snow, Bulkhead, Bumblebee, and Cliffjumper were treading through the storm. Bulkhead led the way, holding a device as they tracked down something. Bumblebee buzzed and bleeped curiously then.

"No, We're not there yet. But it should be just past this ridge, guys." Bulkhead assured.

"Thank Primus. I'm freezing my aft off back here." Cliffjumper chirped.

"What? Can't handle the cold, Cliff?" Bulkhead teased. Cliffjumper rolled his eyes with a knowing smirk.

"Oh, don't act like you ain't freezing either, Wrecker." Cliffjumper snapped back. Bulkhead chuckled as they came to a steep ridge. Immediately, Bulkhead jumped and slid down the ridge and the others followed. Once they got to the bottom, they looked around to find whatever they were looking for but nothing was there.

"Bulk, there's nothing here," Cliffjumper said. Bulkhead was about to answer when the device went off. Bulkhead turned back to it, confused as he looked over the scan. Cliffjumper peaked over his shoulder, looking at the scans with him.

"I don't get it. These readings are off the meter. Cliff, is thing broken or something?" Bulkhead snapped, showing Cliffjumper. Cliffjumper took the device, looking over the scan with a hum. Bulkhead was right about the readings but nothing seemed damaged.

"I'm no expert but I'm pretty sure it's fine, Bulk. It's not damaged and I don't think they're are any bugs in it." Cliffjumper explained. Suddenly, Bumblebee spoke up, buzzing and whirring at them. He signaled them to follow him and they walked up to a thick patch of ice on the ground. However, when they looked down into it, something caught their eye. A big something!

"Wait, What is that?" Bulkhead asked. Cliffjumper bent down to inspect the icy ground. Beneath the thick layer of ice was a huge mysterious object. Much bigger than them. It seemed to be Cybertronian but it wasn't something any of them recognized. After a moment, Cliffjumper held the device over it and new readings came up, indicating they found what they were looking for.

"I have no idea. But this is the thing we're looking for. We better call in base." Cliffjumper explained. Bulkhead nodded, stepping away to make the call. Meanwhile, Cliffjumper's mind spiraled with questions about the object.

"I wonder what you are..."

"Ugh! I told you Doc. We're fine!" Bulkhead complained as he tore off the two tubes connected to him. It hissed as hot air seeped out of them. It had been an hour or so since they returned to base. Team Prime was able to get the mystery object out of the ice and Now, everyone had returned to base. According to Ratchet's orders, Cliffjumper, Bumblebee, and Bulkhead had to do a de-frosting procedure. Though Bulkhead wasn't keen on sitting around anymore. As he began to get up, Ratchet came to his side angrily and pushed him back down.

"The only way to be certain you're fine, Bulkhead, is to endure standard de-frosting procedure. You know prolonged exposure to Sub Zero conditions can cause permanent system damage. " Ratchet snapped. Bulkhead growled but complied with a grunt. Cliffjumper laughed a bit, watching the grumpy Bulkhead as he sat back down.

"Good try, Bulk. But you know the doc. He cares too much." Cliffjumper said, whispering the last part. Bulkhead cracked a small smile, chuckling softly as Ratchet grumbled. He was about to wack Cliffjumper in the helm when Optimus and Arcee walked in.
