¹⁴ from detention to a museum heist

Start from the beginning
                                    

"Ancient Greece, huh?" Bulkhead mused. "Field trip time, Miko... wanna join us Arabella?" the Autobot wrecker asked as the brunette witch agreed.

Soon they arrived through the ground bridge, "Here we are," Bulk said, unlocking the doors so both girls could jump out.

They looked around, noticing how we were in one of those empty, old-style arenas. "Sweet!" Miko ran ahead to see even more ruins as Bulkhead transformed. "So, what are we doing in Greco-ville?"

"I'm scouting for energon." He said, taking out a beeping device. "You're doing research for your history report."

Her jaw dropped. "You punked me, Bulk? Not cool." Miko send a small glare at the witch who was giggling at her.

He walked past me, his attention on his beeping device. "Hm, signal's strong." They looked out at the ruins below us. "An excavation site?"

"Whoa," Arabella commented, staring at the large machines that surrounded a crater.

"According to my scanner," Bulk looked at his device again. "Humans hit energon veins and they don't even know it."

Arabella gaze traveled across the ruins, tracing the stone texture through her fingers. "Whoa," Bulk said and they saw he was staring at a painting on one of the ruins. "That's Cybertronian! Why would ancient Greeks paint an energon harvester?"

"You know what that round thing is?" Miko asked, referring to the round orb in what seemed to be a god's hand on the painting, Miko snapped the a picture. "You're smarter than you let on."

"But dumber than he looks." A voice said from behind them and Arabella turned to see another Cybertronian, one she hadn't ever seen before. "Breakdown," Bulkhead spat, clearly hating this new guy.

"Miss me?" Breakdown asked after laughing a bit. "Like rust in my undercarriage." Bulk shot back. The girls looked between them, sensing the hostility. "You know this lunkhead?"

"We have a history," Bulk replied.

"And you have pets," Breakdown sneered, staring at them to which Arabella gave him a glare, her wand ready if something happened. "Does it play catch?" He grabbed a nearby stone pillar. "Catch."

He hurled the pillar towards the human girls as Arabella pulled Miko to get out of the way. Bulkhead jumped in front of them to take the impact.

"Miko, Arabella, stay down!" He commanded and they ducked behind a boulder. Breakdown launched himself forward and slammed into Bulkhead, both of them falling down toward the painting from before. Breakdown got the upper hand and threw Bulk into the painting, shattering the entire thing.

"Hope the pretty picture wasn't too important," Breakdown taunted before he transformed into a safari car and sped off. Arabella and Miko raced down to meet Bulkhead, who looked at the rubble around him.

"Told you I'm good at breaking things," he said, slightly disappointed. They watched Arabella pull her wand from her sleeve, she twirled it. Bulkhead and Miko watched the shattered remains of the stone and fresco come back together, she turned to the wrecker, " I always have your back, Bulk." she gently smiled and the green Autobot couldn't help but smile back.

Miko took her phone out. "I hate to break up the moment but I got us a picture of the picture."

They arrived back at the base which everyone was looking at the photo Miko uploaded from her phone to the main computers.

"It is indeed an energon harvester," Optimus Prime confirmed, "A powerful tool created by the ancients to remove raw energon from any source."

Raf looked confused. "Greek gods knew Autobots?"
