Chapter 7 - Chapter 6: Chasing after Miko and Decepticon problem

It has been a day since the little incident, Miko apologized to Emily again. Emily forgave her but deep down, she was still shaken from the ride the other day. Jack asked Emily if she can play to which she told him that she will as Raf pass her the other controller. Bumblebee and Bulkhead watched them curiously as Emily was beating Jack with no sweat. 

"No! How are you so good at this, Emily?" Jack was really shocked and surprised at how fast she beat his high score as she chuckled and gave the controller back to Raf.

"It takes skills to beat a game. Trust me. I've tried a lot of video games in an arcade and I always beat the high scores." She ruffled Jack's head who grin playfully.

The sound of the base alarm going off made them all turn to Ratchet who was by the computer and from the looks on his faceplate, it was serious.

"Decepticon activity in the country meadow of Greenland. It appears they're looking for energon." Optimus came in as he looked ready to head to the place.

"Ratchet, you will come and assist with the rest. The children must stay here." Optimus ordered as Ratchet put the coordinates to their destination.

The ground bridge turns on as the portal of multitude color appears as the Autobots line up. Emily walked up to the railing as she was looking worried.

"Be careful, you guys." Bumblebee beeped and whistled telling them that they would be fine as Optimus nodded before they went inside the portal before it closed.

She watched them go before turning around before noticing that someone was missing and she felt dread and fear settled in her gut.

"Where's Miko?" She asked Jack and Raf as they both had that look in their eyes that told her one thing.

"Oh boy... Raf, can you put the coordinates to where the Autobots are?" Emily got her board and helmet on as she changed her attire to her usual one as she was standing before the ground bridge.

"Emily, are you sure? The Autobots will be fighting the Decepticons..." Jack tried to change her mind but it seemed that she won't change her mind at all since she has this look in her eyes whenever Optimus has to rescue after one of their friends.

"Dangerous or not, I can't let Miko get hurt. Open the ground bridge, Raf." She got on her board as it hovered above the ground.

Raf nodded before the ground bridge turned on and she went in and disappeared.

Emily blinked her eyes open as she saw that she was in the woodlands of Greenland. She had seen and read about the wonders around the world but to actually be able to see it is a whole new level. But she can't get distracted now. She needs to find Miko and fast before she gets hurt.

She turned on the boost mode on her board and she zoomed in the forest at a moderate speed. She came out of the meadow before she got off her hover board and looked around. She felt her body froze and she jumped quickly to the side as a giant pede landed on where she was standing. She looked up and gasped in fear as a Decepticon was looking down at her.

"Emily, over here!" Hearing Miko's voice, she quickly went to where she's hiding as the Decepticon was punched away by Bumblebee. 

She panted heavily as she then sent Miko a scolding look.

"Miko! What the heck were you thinking?! You know that Bulkhead told you that it's dangerous to come! Do you want a death wish?!" She huffed at her in annoyance as Miko just rolled her eyes as she turned to the battle that's happening now.

"And miss out on the Autobots vs Decepticons battle? No way!" Miko had a glint in her eyes and it only caused her to groan softly in dismay before looking around her hiding place to watch the battle.

She gotta admit that it looks awesome but she knew it was dangerous. She looked at each mech who was fighting a Decepticon. Bumblebee was fighting against Knock Out as Bulkhead was fighting one Decepticon with a missing optic and she wondered curiously on what happened. She noticed Arcee and Ratchet fighting several Cons with one who looks like a jet with gray coloring for the paint job. She then looked to the only pair of bots fighting and she instantly became worried when she saw Optimus fighting against one who seemed to be the leader.

"Losing your touch on battle, Prime?" Megatron taunted as he punched Optimus back a few feet who grunted upon the impact as he knew that it was gonna leave a dent on his shoulder. 

He stood up and started to counterattack Megatron's but he missed with the last punch and Megatron punched his abdomen which sent him back as he fell on his back. The Autobots, Miko and Emily were shocked and extremely worried for their friend. Optimus groans as he tries to get back up but Megatron prevents him from doing so as he points his energy gun at him.

"Any last words, Prime?" Megatron asked as he started to charge his energy gun. 

Optimus closed his eyes as he awaited for his fate but the voice of someone they, minus the Decepticons, were familiar with was heard as Megatron pulled the trigger.

"OPTIMUS!" Emily shouted as she started to run to where Optimus was. 

Time seemed to slow down as the shot was gonna hit Optimus where his spark is but it was stopped by something that made them all shocked still as they all stared in shock.

"How?!"

The dust cleared and a light blue transparent shield was in front of Optimus as if protecting him. Emily had her eyes wide in shock and confusion as her hands were glowing an electric blue. The shield disappeared as she looked at her hands in shock and fear and confusion as she looked at everyone with wide eyes of disbelief.

"How did I do that...?" Emily asked in shock as her mind was in a whirl of confusion.
