A/N: Sorry it's taken so long to update.. Swimming and softball have been ruling my life. On the upside, swimming is over after this weekend's States, and school is over in two months :) Alright here we go! I do not own the song "Hey Ho." Pretty obvious but I barely have enough money for gas let alone for some fragger to sue me.

(Talking)

:Comm Link::

"Okay so what if..." The seven other beings in the room groaned. It had been two weeks since they had lost Miko to the Decepticons, and in that time a new arrival named Smokescreen had joined the team, and Wheeljack had come back to visit Bulkhead only to be pulled into the problem. Miko's host parents' thought she was still in Tokoyo with her parents, and her parents thought she was with her host parents in Jasper.

"JACK JUST STOP! It's no use.." The 'bots whipped their heads around to stare at the young boy. He walked over to the couch, and flopped down. "We're never getting her back."

"We can't just give up," offered Smokescreen, stepping forward. "I don't even know Miko, but she sounds like a true friend. Someone worth saving, no matter the cost. Look, no more messing around. We know where the ship is, and we know where they're keeping her. Now here's the plan.."

In a dark remote corner of the Decepticon's ship, lay a disgusting, unsanitary, human-sized prison. Inside were sixteen rusty metal cells, in which only one was occupied. A purple Vehicon walked down the hallway, holding a tray full of luxurious food. Stopping at the last cell at the end of the hall, inside one could see an arrangement of pillows and blankets strewn in various places. A hammock hung to the right and a mini-fridge was to the right of it.

"Hey your highness Megatron wants you to eat something.. After all, your big day is tomorrow." A figure dressed in black yoga pants and a pink t-shirt was curled up in the corner of the room. It wiped its nose on a tissue and threw it into a metal trash bin and stood up, french braid swinging. Her brown eyes blazed, "I told you, I'm NOT eating!"

The 'Con just shook his head, "Do you want to be force-fed again? Just eat something Miko." Said girl grunted at hearing her name, and looked at the tray. Chocolate Lava cakes, Sprinkled cupcakes were offered for desert. She smirked, "You guys really don't know the definition of the word 'healthy', do you?" Surveying it agin she saw steak, some fruit, and what looked like freshly baked bread

Her heart began to beat fast as she located what she was looking for. "Fine." she said, trying to sound resentful. He passed the tray through an almost non-existent gap in the bottom of the cell. "Enjoy."

After he left, she pulled what looked like an ancient radio out from the folds of a faded purple comforter. "Oh, I will." She ate slowly, only eating the steak. Being prisoner, could be worse. They kept her fed and entertained, stealing DVD's and video games for her to watch and play. Finishing the rest of her food, she set to work. Taking the silver knife out from the basket, she stood up and approached the cell's bars.

She testily smacked the utensil against the bar in front of her, and waited. No one came. She continued her work, humming as she went. After a while, an idea came to her. Clink! Clank! Clink! Clank! Clink! "I've been trying to do it right." Clank! "I've been living a lonely life." Clink! "I've been sleeping here instead..." Her voice trailed off, and she realized how much she missed the sound of real music.

"Perfect," she whispered, and walked back over to the old radio type thing. She opened a compartment right behind the antenna. A compartment that would fit a circle stared back at her, and producing the knife turned circle she placed it in the compartment. A slight hum filled the air, and greeted her ears. "Thank you Ratchet!" she cheered, realizing all of those lessons had paid off. "Now to find the right frequency.." she groaned twisting the dial. "This is gonna take a while..."

"Everybody know what they have to do?" Arcee asked the others. They had just reviewed their plan for the third time when a loud beep was heard, and everyone turned toward the source.

The computer screen lit up blue, and a familiar voice was heard from the computer, "Great plan. One problem though. You might want to inform the person you're rescuing, of the plan. Namely, me." Gasps were heard all around.

"Is that-?" Ratchet began at the same time Raf screamed, "Miko!" The girl began to laugh, and static was soon heard. Once it faded, she groaned. "My arms are KILLING me from holding up this antenna." Optimus then spoke, "Miko, have you been harmed in anyway? And how are you communicating with us?"

"No they haven't hurt me Optimus, and I made a radio system using the items in my cell and a fake radio thing to speak into from the Cops game. Ratchet I never thought I'd say this, but thanks." The medic smirked as she continued, "Look, I heard your plan, and it'll never work. The 'Cons are going to be on you alert. Why not lock onto the signal from the necklace that Bulk gave me for Christmas of the Autobot symbol?" She paused, and a click was heard. A new signal popped up on the screen, and Ratchet glared over at Bulkhead. "Really? You got her a necklace that we could've used to find her solar cycles ago?"

Bulkhead smiled sheepishly, "In all the chaos, I forgot about it!" Ratchet began to argue with him until an ear-piercing whistle was heard. "Ow!" Raf complained and covered his ears until he heard it fade. Miko laughed heartily, "Sorry but if you guys keep arguing, well never figure this out. "Just lock onto me, pull up a ground bridge, and bridge me out now!" Arcee scratched her head, "We can't do that.. Even with the locater, there's still the issue of the space bridges possibly crossing streams again." Miko let out a audible 'wha-?'

Jack knew what she was referring to, and quickly explained. "If we open the bridge to get you, and the 'Cons open theirs at the same time, and you're inside and it overloads when the bridges cross streams, we'll have another shadow zone problem on our hands." Miko let out a thoughtful 'hmm', "Okay, new plan. It begins now. Bride Bulkhead to Japan, and I'll tell you the rest."

Ten minutes later, Bulkhead rolled through the open ground ridge and parked on a nearby curb. "I hope this works for your sake Miko." He cut his engine, and settled in for the time being.

Six hours later, Miko POV:

Megaton walks toward my cell with Soundwave trailing behind him. "It's time." He says grinning as Soundwave unlocks the padlock.

"Great, I pretty much get to die. Oh, joy." I roll my eyes as 'Wave hoists me up onto his shoulder. He was probably one of the cooler Deceptions of the bunch. We are bridged down, and I'm set down as we walk into the mine where the relic is contained.

My opportune moment arrives, and I hit a button on the side of my necklace. 'Wave glances at me, so I pass it off as scratching my neck. I smile, my signal is has been sent. Help is on the way.

Normal POV:

Bulkhead's comm link beeps, awakening him from his slumber. He answers it to hear Ratchet barking at him. ::Bulkhead! Up and at 'em! Miko sent out the signal ten minutes ago!:: Bulkhead groans, "Send coordinates." Ratchet does, and he pulls away from the curb.

Miko POV:

I groan as we go through the next door, and rub my scar. 'If they don't get here soon, I swear to God or Primus or whoever is up in that big blue sky, I'm going to collapse from exhaustion!' My prayers were answered shortly, when a loud boom was heard behind us. The Vechicons turned to the previous door, weapons powering up.

A green bulky truck burst through, knocking the door to the side. I tucked and rolled to the side quickly behind the door as Bulkhead took on all the 'Cons. Suddenly, a groundbridge opens a few feet away, and Arcee, and Bumblebee leap through, helping to take on Soundwave and Megatron. Well, really just Megatron. 'Wave was trying to stand guard in front of me.

Megatron however, body slammed 'Bee into a wall, and kicked Arcee to the side. His blood red optics caught my eye, and I whimpered a little in fear. "Move aside." He hissed at Soundwave menacingly. He just stood there thiugh, not moving an inch. "No." Came his pinched reply.

Megatron looked at him in shock, "What did you just say to me?" He clipped.

"You. Heard. Me." 'Wave said, edge to his voice. "Very well." He pushes 'Wave aside, and grab me. I squeak, and look up to see Bulkhead finish off the last Decepticon. He regards me wide eyes as I manage to get out a "Help!" before Megsie takes off, me clenched tightly in his hand. We go higher, and higher above the buildings, until they look like ants. "If you wan something done right, you've got to do it yourself!" He proclaims and opens his fist.

"Are you kidding me!?" I grab my necklace, and click the 'High Danger' button several times. "C'mon Ratchet, come on!" I yell.

(Autobot Base)

"Ratchet! Distress signal from Miko!" Raf shouts, and Ratchet looks quickly to the screen to see Miko's signal. But, it was moving.. Like dropping moving.

"Scrap! Raf ready the groundbridge!" Nurse Darby and Jack were watching from the couch, trying to stay out of the way.

"Do you remember when we had to open a groundbridge in space?" The spiky haired boy nodded and Ratchet gave a small smile.

"Good. This is pretty much like that, and like opening a bridge on the train. Coordinates set.. Open.. NOW!"

(Miko POV)

I saw a groundbridge open near me, but my direction was off.

"Scrap! Hatchet!" It closes and another one opens directly below me.

"Oh thank God." I scream as I fell into it. I slide across the base floor with my eyes closed, screaming my head off.

"Ahhhhhhh!"

I finally stop when my straight left leg hit the stairs, cracking the bone.

"Mother fragging pit spawned-"

June and Jack hurry to come help me, as Ratchet reactivated the groundbridge.

"Mouth on her is worse than Ironhide after the twins prank him." Arcee said laughing.

I gave her a weak smile, as Bulk came towards me. He knelt down a little away, and I looked up at Mrs. Darby.

"Miko, sweetie? I'm going to have to set it back in place. It'll be as quick as possible." I nod as Jack takes one of my hands in his own, looking sick.

"Don't you dare puke on me!" I threaten him. He nods, and speaks softly, "Miko? Hey keep looking at me. It'll be over before you know it."

And with that, his mom snapped the bone back into place. I shrieked as loud as humanly possibly. Jack scooped me up into his arms and carried me up the stairs, plopping me down onto the couch. His mom began to tend to my wounds and I began to dose off.

(NORMAL POV)

Miko had been asleep for an hour or so, when they heard Jack's shouts.

"Hey! Everyone! Come here!" They walked over to find Miko sitting straight up with a zoned out expression on her face.

"Miko?" Raf asked, waving his hand in front of her face. She seemed to snap of it, and looked at him a little spooked.

"Guys.. I- I know what the relic is. It's information. Right now, I know the complete past, present, and future of Cybertron.

Reviews make me happy :)
