Family divided, Friendships grow (A transformers Prime fanfiction)

Ch. 16: Shadow zone

The weekend after Thanksgiving, everyone who came from another country returned back to their homes. It is now Wednesday and I am pretty sure Miko is bored. That honestly makes two of us. Man, I wish I was still on the warship to see how badly Starscream was beaten up. That would have been fun to see.

"I had hoped that my growing expertise on the subject would remain purely academic, but though faint, this is clearly a Dark Energon signature, and it is moving fast," Ratchet stated. I instantly perked up at that, as did Miko. We looked at the monitor.

"Megatron," Optimus stated. I had a feeling that it was not Megatron at all.

"Where did he find more of the bad stuff?" Arcee asked. Miko and I were having a silent debate on what to do.

"And what is he going to do with it? Recruit a new army of the undead?" Bulkhead continued.

"The only way that is possible is if he somehow manages to get all of the dead Autobots and cons on this planet in one place, Bulkhead," I informed him, walking to the end of the railing.

"Zombiecons?" Miko asked quietly. We smirked at each other. We are totally going.

"We cannot rule out the possibility. Especially since Megatron seems to be heading to a familiar sight," Optimus stated.

"Hold up. I know Megatron is the main guy with the Dark Energon, but why are we ruling out the fact that it might be someone else? Like Starscream?" I asked. I got a bunch of weird looks. "Okay, I am not saying that it is not Megatron, it could be him. But it just seems that we are ruling out the possibility that it could be any Decepticon."

"She makes a good point. If it was another Decepticon, I would have to say that it would be Starscream, as he seems to be the only qualified person to do so," Arcee stated. "But it's totally Megatron, he is the only one to do so."

"Megatron has barely emerged from stasis and it seems that he is already making up for lost time," Optimus said. I facepalmed as everyone seemed to ignore my comment. "Bulkhead, Bumblebee, Ratchet, prepare to roll out."

"So, we are totally going right?" I whispered to Miko. She nodded her head.

"Me?" Ratchet asked, confused.

"If we are dealing with Dark Energon, I may well require your expertise. Arcee?" Optimus said.

"Bridge operator. Got it," Arcee stated, walking to the ground bridge controls.

"Go get'em Bulkhead, bring the hurt!" Miko said, pretending to not care or want to go. He pounded his fist together as the other two looked at us weirdly.

"That's not like Miko to not want to go," Jack told Raf. I was trying so hard to not sprint off already.

"Sheś definitely up to something," Raf replied back. When the ground bridge was activated, Miko and I got up and ran to the bridge. "And the two of them are making a break for it."

"This is going to be fun," I whispered as we went to the floor. I made it through the ground bridge before Miko did and I went behind some rocks to watch. Raf and Jack came through after she came through. "So the boys joined. Great."

"Whatever," Jack murmured. I saw that it was Starscream instead of Megatron. I, personally, knew it.

"I guess Oriana was right, that's not Megatron," Bulkhead said once they saw who it was. Total win.

"I told them so," I whispered.

"Rise Skyquake! Rise!" Starscream yelled. He is a tad bit dramatic, but it was entertaining. The others started talking and apparently, Miko dropped her phone.
