Chapter 3

"Are we there yet Wheeljack?" asked Aura "My legs are really starting to cramp." "Just a bit further Aura. We're almost there." answered Wheeljack. They were driving down a mountainside highway, far from Jaspear.The grass was light green and blowing in the wind, white fowlers were blooming all over, and the sun was rising in the distance. "Hey Aura, we're here!" said Wheeljack. They turned a corner to find Bulkhead and Miko sitting on a hill next to the highway. "I know the hum of that engine anywhere! Wheeljack!" cheered Bulkhead. "And Aura's here too!" cheered Miko. Wheeljack and Aura stoped infront of the hill and they both transformed into their robot forms. "Ha, ha, Jackie! Where have you been buddy?" asked Bulkhead as he bear hugged Wheeljack. "Just catching up with a few old dance partners, that's all." answered Wheeljack. "Bulk' if you keep hugging him you might squish the poor guy." said Aura while laughing. Bulkhead released Wheeljack from the hug then walked over to Aura and gave her a nuggie. "Glad to see your still kicking Aura." said Bulkhead. "heh, heh, heh, it's good to see you too Bulk'." replyed Aura as Bulkhead finnished the nuggie and the both of them brofisted. They all turned their attention to Miko who took a picture of the three Autobots together. "Good to see ya kid." said Wheeljack as he looked down at Miko "Safe to assume were the only 3 Wreakers around?" Aura faked coughed and gave Wheeljack a look. He laughed then placed a hand on Aura's shoulder. "Relax I didn't for get you, Princess. Once a Wreaker always a Wreaker." said Wheeljack. "Then what are we waiting for? Let's do some damage!" cheered Miko.


"So what's our next movie Jackie? circle back to base?" asked Bulkhead. "There is no base. The 'Cons blasted it to dust." answered Wheeljack. "It's true. I saw the base up in flames myself when I rescued Wheeljack from the Jackhammer's crash site." explained Aura. "So what do we do now?" asked Miko. Aura looked over to Wheeljack who appeared to be reaching for something on his back. "Wheeljack? You ok?" asked Aura in confusion. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just picking up a little something." replyed Wheeljack as he showed everyone a small decepticon tracking device. "A tracking device! We gotta get rid of it before the 'Cons find us." said Bulkhead. "I got an idea." said Aura "Follow me." They all ran over to a nearby lake and Aura picked up a small broken tree log with a hole in it. "Wheeljack, give me the tracker and one of your grenades." commanded Aura. "What for?" asked Wheeljack as he tossed them to her. Aura placed the tracker on the grenade, then put the grenade inside the log. She gently pushed the log into the water and the log floated down the river. "I see what your doing. Come on, let's get to higher ground away from the blast." said Wheeljack. They all ran up and climbed the top of the hill and layed down on their stomachs at the top of the hill. They watched as 5 white vehicons flew in and transformed into their robot modes at the other side of the river.


The four of them watched as the vehicons aime dtheir blasters at the log and started walking towards it. "Targets in range." said Bulkhead. "Get ready Jackie." said Aura. Wheeljack brought out his grenade trigger and rested his thumb on the button. They all watched as the log got closer to the vehicons. "3,2,1, now!" ordered Aura. "And boom!" added Wheeljack as he pushed the button. "Grenade!" yelled one of the vehicons. The grenade exploded and vehicon parts sacttered all over the place. Blue fire and smoke soared up into the sky, then it slowly fadded away. "Nice plan kid." said Bulkhead as patted Aura on the back. "How did you know the 'Cons placed a tracker on you?" asked Miko. "I figuired the 'Cons were up to something. So I did a little bulking around under my hood." explained Wheeljack as he pounded his chest. "Ha, ha, that's my Jackie." said Bulkhead. "So what's our next move?" asked Miko. "I shallveged some stuff from the Jackhammer before me and Aura left." said Wheeljack as he transformed into his vehicle mode "Thought that made a loud noise? You just wait."Aura and Bulkhead transformed into their vehicle modes while Miko hopped inside Bulkhead and the three Autobots took off down the highway.


Cole's P.O.V.


Bumblebee inserted a tube into the system and gave a thumbs up to Cole and Raf who were standing on a consel. "Just keep it there Bee." said Raf as he and Cole pressed some buttons. "let's hope this works." said Cole."And, powering up!" said Raf as he pushed the start button. The power lights flickered on and off a couple times, but then died out. "Aww man!" whined Cole. "Beep bop beep bop bop beep 'I don't think this is working.'" said Bumblebee. "Keep trying. We'll figure it out." ensured Raf. "Ah, ah, ah!" said a voice. The three boys looked behind them to see Ratchet at the door way of the lab. "Ratchet! You came!" cheered Cole. "Beep bop bop bop beep bop 'So you decided to show up after all.'" said Bumblebee. "Your not correctly calibrating the energon transfuser." said Ratchet. "Ratchet!" cheered Raf. "Now stay back, and out of my way so I can work." said Ratchet as he walked towards the counsel and Cole and Raf stepped out of his way. "Good to have you back Doc." said Cole.


Aura's P.O.V.


Bulkhead and Aura followed Wheeljack to the bottom of the mountain, and to a forest area. They stopped at a cliff side and transformed into their robot forms. They laid down face first at the edge of the cliff, looking at an energon mine. "Guys, you know I'm all for blowing up the scrap out of stuff. But what does flattening a Decepticon mine have to do with getting the band back together and taking down Megatron?" asked Miko. "Same with me. What's your plan Wheeljack?" asked Aura. "Simple. When we light up this place, the blast will be big, and in mistakable." answered Wheeljack. "Any Autobot within 500 clicks will see the sky glowing with energon, and come running." added Bulkhead. "Now were talking." said Aura. "Then bring the rain." said Miko.


Cole's P.O.V.


Ratchet kept pushing and typing different buttons on the console, while Raf and Cole were helping him. "Mainframe's up and running." said Raf. "Time to work your magic, Raf." said Cole. "But, I'll need help hacking the operating codes." added Raf. "Aww man!" complained Cole. "Even if the ground bridge proves functional, it will be next to worthless without a means of pin pointing the current locations of our teammates." explained Ratchet. "Beep bop bop beep bop 'Why can't we just call them using this?'" suggested Bumblebee. "Use your head Bumblebee! If the Decepticons have the ability to track Autobot signals, we'd all be at Megatron's mercy here on Earth a long time ago." explained Ratchet. "Ugh, back where we started." said Raf with a sigh. Ratchet did some thinking when his face lit up. "But not, if I can hack these Decepticon frequencies, at the very least we might be able to access their com-link." stated Ratchet.


Aura's P.O.V.


Aura, and Miko watched as Wheeljack and Bulkhead planted a few grenades around the Decepticon mine. Once the last one was set, they came running back to the cliff side and joined the girls. "Munitions planted." said Bulkhead. "Let's get this party started." said Wheeljack as he pulled out his grenade trigger. Then they all heard a strange animal noise coming from the sky a long distance away from them. "Company!" yelled Miko as she pointed to the sky. "Megatron?" suggested Wheeljack. "Nah, bigger!" corrected Bulkhead. They all looked up into the sky to see a giant flying dragon emerge from the clouds and shine in the moonlight. "I don't remember seeing that in bucket head's repertoire." said Bulkhead. "Guys, I think we're in serious trouble." warned Aura.
