SilverWing POV

Dear Diary

It hasn’t even been a day since I reopened my old injury thanks to both Dreadwing and Starscream. I was going to allow Ratchet to check my injury, but what we found out when we came back to base was shocking. I was horrified with what I saw back at base. I saw Bulkhead in the medical berth being threatened by Ratchet from a horrible injury made by an Insecticon. I had immediately jumped off, ignoring the pain in my side and running to Bulkhead’s side. I didn’t know the Insecticon named that did this, but whoever he was, was going to pay dearly.

I was sitting down on a different medical berth waiting for any news. I was still hurt, but it was not that bad compared to the injury that Bulkhead had received. So, my injury could wait.

“Wheeljack’s on his way” Arcee announced. I then saw Miko immediately stand up.

“I can’t believe you are giving up on Bulkhead already!” Miko exclaimed. I sighed. I closed my optics and ignored the rest of the conversation. I opened them once I heard a new engine enter the base. I immediately stood up watching Wheeljack enter the base on his alt-mode.

“What’s the damaged, doc?” Wheeljack asked.

“Bulkhead has damage to his central conduits” Ratchet replied.

“I watched you work; you're a maestro” Wheeljack said.

“The toxin exposure has caused system-wide shutdown on a submicronic level. I can not even begin to operate until Bulkhead regains some strength” Ratchet said. I saw Wheeljack think before turning to look at Optimus.

“You gonna tell me who did this to him?” Wheeljack asked. I sighed.

“At the moment, I think it is best to focus on Bulkhead’s recovery rather than revenge” Optimus said.

“You do that” Wheeljack said. He then transformed and drove off. I sighed again before getting ready.

“Wheeljack will most likely do something rash, you know?” Ratchet said. I nodded at that.

“And I am not sure we could stop him if we wanted to” Optimus said. I also nodded at that.

“Don’t worry. I will calm him… Maybe” I said. Just then, before they could stop me, I immediately transformed and drove off right after Wheeljack. I stopped driving once I made it to where Wheeljack’s ship was parked. I went inside, seeing him ready to leave.

“Why did you follow me?” He said. I chuckled.

“You should know that by now” I replied, sitting down on the passenger seat.

“If you’re here to stop me, then forget it” He said. I shook my helm.

“I’m not here to stop you, Jackie. I’m here to join you” I said. He immediately looked at me with a ‘really’ look on his face.

“Are you sure? What about your injury?” He asked. I chuckled.

“You know this won’t stop me from getting revenge. I’m a Wrecker. I could handle a small pain like this any day” I said. I heard him chuckled before nodding and taking off.

Just then, after flying for a short period of time, we sense that something or someone was inside the ship with us. I saw Wheeljack then put the ship in auto-pilot before quickly taking out his blaster and aiming at whoever was behind. We were confused when we didn’t see anyone until we looked down and saw Miko standing there.

“Are you doing here?” Wheeljack asked.

“The same as her. I’m going after the Con that hurt Bulkhead” Miko replied. I immediately look at her with a ‘really’ look.

“Are you two in?” She asked. I shook my helm.

“I’m sorry, kid, but we are taking you back to base” I said. Wheeljack nodded, turning around to take control of the ship again to take Miko back.

“Wait!” Miko yelled. We both look at her.

“Kid, we get it. You want payback. You, SilverWing, and I” Wheeljack replied.

“But… But Bulkhead's. He’s my partner too” Miko said.

“That might be true, but you won’t be able to help” I said.

“SilverWing’s right. Trust me. When we find out which one of Megatron’s goons jumped our boy. We will take care of him” Wheeljack said.

“Our way” I replied. I saw Miko think before looking at us with a determined look on her face.

“I know who did it” Miko replied.

“Really?” I asked. She nodded.

“Who?” Wheeljack asked.

“Take me, and I will tell you” Miko said.

“Fine, kid” Wheeljack replied.

She then told us who did it. I knew that it was an Insecticon, but I didn’t know the name of the Insecticon. She told us that his name was Hardshell. So, to get the Decepticons' attention, we decided to attack an Energon mine that we discovered a long time ago.

“You two know where to find Decepticon’s mines?” Miko asked. We nodded.

“What do you think we've been doing this whole time on Earth?” I asked. I saw Miko replied with an ‘oh’ before nodding.

“Uh, but shouldn’t we be in an Insecticon hive?” Miko asked.

“The bugs are bound by a single mind. Trying to draw just one of them out it’s nearly impossible. So, we are going to make some noise” Wheeljack said.

“And get the Cons to hand over Hardshell” Miko added.

“You’re getting it now, kiddo” I said. Wheeljack nodded.

“Yeah, now you could sneak in there and scoop things out a lot easier that we both can” Wheeljack said. Miko nodded. She then immediately sneaked inside while we waited for her outside.

“:: We got five, maybe six troopers in the main cavern and two more keeping an eye on things from the second floor::” Miko told us.

“Good job, kid. Keep going” Wheeljack said.

Just then, we left the ship and entered the mine, immediately engaging in battle. I was able to take down two Vehicons before saving Miko, who was about to be crushed by a Vehicon that Wheeljack had thrown.

“Are you okay, kid?” I asked. She nodded. I then allowed Wheeljack to deal with the rest of the Vehicons while I kept Miko safe from the open fire. Wheeljack just then finished killing the last Vehicon and turned to look at us.

“Now what?” Miko asked.

“We give Megatron a shout” Wheeljack replied. We then went back to the ship and gave Megatron a call. I allowed Wheeljack to do the talking.

"Nice operation you got here, Megatron. Although technically you might say it is under new management" Wheeljack said.

":: Wheeljack? The one who enjoys explosive devices::" Megatron replied. I chuckled.

"What can I say, chief? I'm right now am sitting on top of one of your big juicy mining ops" Wheeljack said.

"The loss of one acid is hardly a blow to the Decepticons' cause" Megatron replied.

"Maybe, but I’m gonna keep on hitting them one by one until you give me what I want" Wheeljack told him.

"And what pre tell will that be?” Megatron asked.

"The Insecticon scum who tried to fry Bulkhead" Wheeljack replied.

"Tried? Are you saying the Autobot lives?" Megatron asked.

"He’s bluffing!" I heard a new voice yelled.

"I won't bet on it” I said.

“So, here is the deal” Wheeljack said, going straight to business.

“I will transmit the coordinates to my next target. If Hardshell cares to meet me there, maybe he could save you from another loss” Wheeljack explained. He then smirked. I smirked with him.

“Oh, and Megatron just in case you ever wonder what three tones of exploding Energon sounds like" Wheeljack said before pressing the launch button on the Jackhammer. This sent a couple of missiles at the Energon mine, making it explode into pieces. He then ended the call.

We then left for the next mine. It was a long ride, so it was really quiet. I was really tired from not sleeping for a whole day yesterday. I could also tell that Miko was tired as well because she kept bobbing her head up and down.

“You two should get some power down” Wheeljack said.

“I’m good” Miko said. I shook my helm.

“Same” I replied. It was silent for a short period of time until Miko spoke.

“He’s going to make it, right?” Miko asked.

“Don’t question, kid. I know Bulkhead’s. He’s the toughest wrecking ball I ever known” Wheeljack replied. I nodded.

“Ratchet’s also a great doctor. The best doctor that I ever meet” I replied.

“Yeah, there’s no way Bulk will miss all the stuff we have planned” Miko said. She then said all this bunch of stuff that I didn’t have an idea of what she was talking about.

“Like I said, Bulkhead’s to stubborn not to pull through. I know it, and I bet you do too” Wheeljack said. He then turned to look at her, but she had fallen asleep already. We looked at her before looking back at the front of the ship.

“So, you really never told me how it went” Wheeljack said.

“What?” I asked.

“You know. You and Prime?” He asked.

“Oh, I really don’t want to talk about it, Wheeljack” I said.

“You can’t stay mad at him forever, SilverWing. Here’ your Sire. What will happen if he dies? He will die knowing that his only daughter hates him” He said.

“I don’t know, Wheeljack. I don’t know” I said.

The rest of the ride was filled with silence.
