Reunion

Misty-blue's POV

We've been here nearly twelve hours. I had slept most of it curled up beside my birth sire. When I woke I see sire Ratchet has gotten the Harbinger online. I also see my birth sire is sitting up having some energon. "Morning" I say.

They all wish me a good morning. My birth sire gives me my own cube of energon. I start to enjoy it as Raf helps sire Ratchet. "Mainframe's up and running. But I'll need help hacking the operating codes" Raf states.

"I can help you there, I know decepticon code" mt birth sire says. Slowly getting up.

"Ep ep, you are still recovering" Sire Ratchet tells him.

"I'm not going into battle, just helping hack the codes" my birth sire states. He leans on the console. Beside ire Ratchet.

"Even if the ground bridge proves functional, it will be next to worthless without a means of pinpointing the current locations of our compatriots" Sire Ratchet states.

"Can't the ship track them?" Bee asks him confused. Sire Dreadwing chuckles.

"Use your head, Bumblebee. If the Decepticons had the ability to track Autobot signals, we'd have all been at Megatron's mercy here on Earth a long time ago" Sire Ratchet tells him.

"Oh" Bee buzzes bashfully.

"Back where we started" Raf says with a defeated sigh.

"Not necessarily" Sire Dreadwing tells him.

"Dreadwing is correct, if I can reconfigure these Decepticon frequencies with his help. At the very least, we may be able to access their comm-link" Sire Ratchet states. They get to work as I continue to enjoy my breakfast.

(Time skip)

I was getting a little bored. Luckily Raf had a pair of race control cars. So we had a few races. While Bee cheered us on. Raf won every game. But it was still a lot of fun. Sire Dreadwing is sitting down again, resting his legs. While Sire Ratchet continued to reconfigure the decepticon frequencies. Bee steps outside to make sure we're still safe.

"I've done it" he declares and calls Agent Fowler.

"What is it now, lord Megatron?" Agent Fowler asks.

"Agent Fowler, it's Ratchet" Sire Ratchet tells him.

"Ratchet? Where's Jack? Is he with you?" I hear June Darby asks. I smile happy Jack's carrier is alive and well.

"No, he is not" Sire Ratchet answers her. "Listen, we don't have much time. I have taken a tremendous, yet calculated, risk in contacting you" he tells them. "Hopefully, the Decepticons are not monitoring their own frequencies as closely as they no doubt are those of the humans.  I am transmitting our current coordinates" he explains sending it to them as Bee appears.

"Ratchet, ship in coming!" Bee squeals.

"What?" Sire Ratchet asks him as I fly to Sire Dreadwing. He holds me in his arms, close to his chassis. As Ratchet hangs up on Fowler. "Misty-blue remain here with Dreadwing. We'll investigate" he states.

"Be-careful out there" Sire Dreadwing tells him as he grabs his gun. Sire Ratchet nods and leaves with Bee & Raf. "Stay close Misty-blue" he tells me. I nod my head.

(Outside) Third Persons POV

When Ratchet got outside with the other two, they see Ultra Magnus' ship coming in for a landing. "It's one of ours" Ratchet states shocked. The ship lands before them and the landing ramp lowers. Revealing Jack, Miko, Bulkhead, Arcee, Wheeljack and Ultra Magnus.

"Raf!" Miko shouts. They run at each other and she lifts him up. Hugging him tightly. Before putting him down.

"Girl's got a grip, doesn't she?" Jack asks. He then hugs Raf.

"You're alive" Ratchet says relieved. As the other autobots greet him and Bee. "Ultra Magnus?" he says surprised.

"Doctor" Ultra Magnus says with a nod.

"New paint job looks good, Bee" Bulkhead praises.

"Thanks" Bee beeps.

"At least you had something to work with. If I reversed my colors, I'd be pink" Arcee states.

"The communications link needs further calibration to be compatible with Autobot frequencies.  The ground bridge, however, is fully operational" Ratchet informs Ultra Magnus.

"That would've come in handy when robo-dragon was trying to eat us for breakfast" Miko tells him.

"The indigenous population of this planet, do they all display the same disregard for authority?" Ultra Magnus asks Ratchet.

"No. Mostly just Miko" Ratchet tells him. He goes to tell him of Misty-blue and Dreadwing. When Agent Fowler and June arrive. The other autobots has to stop Magnus from blasting them. June was so relieved to see Jack. She hugged him and both the other kids.

"Where's Misty-blue?" she asks.

"She is with her sire, which reminds me Ultra Magnus. There is something you must know" Ratchet says looking up at the commander.

"What?" he asks.

"Sire Ratchet!" Misty-blue shouts as she appears with Dreadwing. Ultra Magnus again powers up his weapon. But Bee and Ratchet stop him.

"It's ok, he is on our side now and Optimus trusts him. Besides he is Misty-blue's sire" Ratchet tells him.

"She just called you sire" Ultra Magnus states.

"I adopted her when we first found her. But Dreadwing is her biological sire and Chormia was her Carrier. Both are on our side and are trusted by Optimus" Ratchet tells him.

"Very well, but I'll be keeping a close optic on you" Ultra Magnus tells Dreadwing.

"Wouldn't expect anything less" Dreadwing states as he lets Misty-blue down. She goes to greet the others happily. He sits on a boulder. "So where are the others?" he asks.

"The only signals Ultra Magnus was able to isolate, are standing right here" Arcee states.

"Maybe his scanner's faulty" Wheeljack suggests.

"So the rookie's unaccounted for" Bulkhead says.

"Smokescreen bridged out unaccompanied. Only Optimus knows where" Ratchet states. "And Optimus remained behind, to destroy the ground bridge, to ensure that everyone else made it to safety" he explains.

"I watched the base go down. No one or thing walked out of there" Fowler tells the bots.

"Not that we could see" June adds. As she and kids join. Misty-blue had gone back to Dreadwing and is sitting on his lap. As they listen to the others discuss the situation.

"Even if Prime survived, I'm not sure we can afford to wait for him to show up. Not with Megatron holding our planet hostage from his high and mighty perch at Darkmount" Fowler states.

"I would be inclined to agree with the native life-form" Ultra Magnus states. "We must stop Megatron, with or without Optimus Prime" he declares.

"Anything I can do to help?" Dreadwing asks.

"Ep ep, you are no where near ready for combat" Ratcher scolds him.

"But sire Ratchet you'll need all the help you can get to defeat Megatron" Misty-blue is correct.

"The sparkling is right" Ultra Magnus states. "Can you poliot a ship?" he asks Dreadwing.

"Of course I can" Dreadwing tells him.

"Then you'll be in charge of flying my ship and guarding the sparkling. While I lead the others into battle" Ultra Magnus tells him. Dreadwing nods his head. "We must do everything in our power to ensure Megatron's downfall, but we will need to be smart about it" he states.

"Whoa, who put shoulder pads in command?" Wheel-jack asks.

"Temporary command" Jack tells him.

"Ultra Magnus is the only logical choice. He was trained by Optimus and served as his commanding officer throughout the war for Cybertron" Ratchet explains.

"Now, unless there is any further objection, soldier, please, follow me" Ultra Magnus says heading for his ship.

"Aye, aye captain" Wheeljack mutters. As they all follow Ultra Magnus. Even Dreadwing got to his feet and followed with Bee's help. As he passed Misty-blue to Ratchet.

"Autobots. Take your pick" Ultra Magnus says showing them his armory of weapons. Misty-blue eyes them.

"Now you're speaking my language, Sir" Wheeljack tells him.

"No touching" Ratchet and Dreadwing tell her. She pouts. But keeps her servos to herself. As the others start to pick out their desired weapons for the coming battle.
