Chapter 10

I'll Make it up to you

AN: if you've gotten this far in the story congratulations and of course each chapter from now on has a song for you to listen to Evolve I'll make it up to you Breaklines have become difficult to use and keep disappearing also the Grillplate is the transformers abdominal

Optimus was worried now he hadn't heard a single thing about Bumblebee for almost 2 decacycles now and it was getting to the team.

Bulkhead missed Bumblebee so much he just sulked in a corner.

Prowl would often pace the hall from his room to Bumblebee's and stand there at Bumblebee's bedroom it was difficult trying to get him to recharge all he'd do now was sit in his room and try to reach Bumblebee.

Sari often argued with everyone else and searching all the way through and out of Detroit she wouldn't stop until she found Bumblebee at one point they had to send her to her father just to get her to rest.

ratchet even seemed distant, the worst of it not a single decepticon in sight not for the 2 weeks there comrades been missing that was suspicious.

However Sari was really proving her mettle during training she sure knew how to kick tailpipe, her moves were savage, or whatever the cool saying organics say.

Tilting his head he watched his distress team, it was far too tense the not knowing when the Decepticons would strike was really irritating him to.

"Man where could he be"

Moaned Bulkhead whom had been painting mostly sad pictures of rain and a bucket full of water, all while Sari hung upside down on the concrete couch where Bumblebee usually would sit and play Ninja gladiator robot tournaments with her, now it was just as cold and empty as it had been for the last 2 and a half weeks.

Prowl seemed to be silent to this all Ratchet shook his head still looking over any reports for Decepticon activity as Optimus had requested him to do while they try to think of a plan even if that silver grounder was Bumblebee what of Primus was he thinking!

Oh yes Prime would have a few choice words to say when they found Bumblebee oh boy Cleaning duty for Vorns.

Back to the matter at hand he decided a drive around would do some good after all they've been holed up for a couple days, with no action.

"Hey guys why dont we go for a drive Bumblebee wouldn't want us sulking now would he"

Sari grimaced at the words but knew Optimus was right they needed action but Bumblebee wouldn't want everyone to worry so much over him no matter the trouble he was in

Transforming her facemask on her voice distorted slightly her Jet Pack flying her up to Optimus's level.

"Yeah Optimus is right Bumblebee would want us to have some fun he did say not to worry!"

Prowl smiled yeah Sulking around for there missing friend wouldn't do any good indeed in fact his Joints ached and his processor spun from having tried to use processor over matter so many times.

Bulkhead rubbed the back of his helm paintbrush in hand managing to get yellow splotches on the back of his helm

"Alright I could go for a drive after all Bee wouldn't want me to sit on my aft and rust"

Optimus chuckled, before everyone looked over to ratchet throwing a wrench down.

"I believe your drive will have to be put off Decepticons at the Docks and that new Decepticons with them"

Sari blinked it just had to be bumblebee no other Bot had that kind of spark Prowl walked up, behind optimus followed by Bulkhead.

"So whats the plan"

Determination flickered in everyones Optics, turning to his team he held his fist out that same fire of determination growing brighter.

"We take down the Decepticons and figure out what there Planning"

He looked down at the eager Sari

"And bring are friend home"

Sari fist pumped the air Prowl smiled knowing this was gonna be a battle they couldn't lose.

"Alright Autobots Transform and Roll out!"

He drove in the lead Prowl zooming ahead beside him but a bit further up ahead Bulkhead sped up next to prime curious of what he was planning.

Sari flew over head this time she'd get some answers from that silver bot.-

Bumblebee wanted nothing more than to drive away from the current mission carrying fuel tanks Shockwave was watching him through a camera, he wasn't alone on this mission Lugnut and blitzwing had volunteered Blitzwing cause he said might be fun, and lugnut cause undying loyalty he shook his helm at the twos antics.

Bumblebee flashbacked to this morning on the briefing of the test Bumblebee couldn't recharge a wink cause of last nights revealing.

Shockwave Circled Bumblebee like a shark, narrowing his optics this was the final trial the test of loyalty, and Bumblebee must do it in order to complete his training fully.

"So I'm to Kill one of my friends is that correct"

Bee hissed at the Spy, wishing with all his spark that this all had been a nightmare that he'd been knocked unconscious.

"Yes and you will"

Bee optics flashed in outrage of Shockwaves words,

"ILL SHOOT MY SPARK BEFORE I EVER DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT! I WILL NOT HURT MY FRIENDS!"

The sudden feeling of claws gripping his outstretched Servo had Bee blink in shock before he was flipped onto his Back a gun at his chin.

"I can remedy this now, but Megatron wishes you alive"

Bee glared hatred at the spy, he spat a glob of spit into his eye the others optic flashed before Bumblebee felt a burning pain to his side the bastard had clawed open his side and punched him in the Grillplate .

Gasping breathlessly he struggled to get back up only to be pinned by Shockwaves pede feeling nothing but pain as the wound poured out his energon.

"You dont have a choice autobot you have nowhere left to go they will not take you back in open arms again you've betrayed them time and time again as it is you are a traitor"

"Frag off"

Bumblebee spat rolling over as the pain seized up, Shockwaves Optic refocused before he stood up turning away from Bumblebee.

"I suppose then you'd like to watch?"

Confused he didn't quite understand what the Spy was getting at until he saw what was on the screen Bumblebee gulped, there they were all gathered in the common room Optimus, Ratchet, Prowl, Bulkhead and he shuddered Sari completely oblivious of being watched.

"N-No please I'll do it j-just lea-"

"Them alone?"

Shockwave finished his sentence turning coldly to the yellow Scout whom shakily got to his pedes energon dripped freely from the claw marks in his side.

He looked down more than in pain he was scared a weakness that Shockwave could take advantage of and end his existence then and there but Unicron had other plans for this scout instead.

Looking down and everywhere from Shockwave he bit back a choked cry he would not show weakness in front of him not now not ever Bumblebee's body trembled from the energon escaping his side bleeding out onto the floor and leaving a a nasty Blue stain on the floor.

Shockwave and them stood there in silence before Shockwave broke it.

"Let me patch you up you can't go on a mission bleeding out now can you"

As he began wrapping and sealing the energon flowing out of the claw marks.

"You will do this and you will not fail you will not cry you will not mourn your loyalty is to lord Megatron now scout"

Bumblebee flinched when Shockwave had emphasized this with a tug on the Gauze wrapped around him tightening against the wound painfully and his aching grillplate.

Returning back to the present mission at hand he grabbed another box only for the familiar engines and wailing siren of Optimus's Firetruck form come speeding onto the docks.

Prowl had rematerialized from nowhere before tackling Bumblebee, pinning his arms to his sides he struggled, Sari and Bulkhead fought with Blitzwing, Blitzwing let loose a rocket exploding before Bulkhead into a building.

Sari Blasted at Lugnut but it was like trying to blast a hole through the worlds strongest armor.

Prowl struggled to pin bumblebee as Optimus tried helping Sari with lugnut, Battle mask in place Bumblebee brought out his stingers and shocked Prowl stunning him and kicking Prowl into pile of boxes only for them to topple over prowl.

Bee wanted to gloat something but knew he'd have to remain mute, as Prowl came from behind a sneak attack bumblebee was too quick dodging his attempt and having the bot Sail over.

pulling out his stingers he sent a blast at prowl the ninja bot Swiftly dodged each attempt of a hit only frustrating Bumblebee.

It was when Prowl begun talking to him did his resolve to fight start weakening,

"Is this how it is Bumblebee"

"your going to take orders from Megatron from now on"

With that in mind Bumblebee felt unimaginable desperation fuel his attacks as Prowl flipped over Bumblebee's attacks.

attacking with his weapons of choice throwing stars one got caught in his leg and man did it hurt, he twisted out of the way as another punch came flying at him he blocked it with his servos only to duck as Lugnut went sailing over him. Prowl a little unprepared went crashing into the water with Lugnut.

"uh oh"

Bee breathed as he saw Sari and Prime coming his way, a good retreat was in order now however Prowl appeared before him blocking his path to escape Sari was first to react and say her piece.

"BUMBLEBEE PLEASE STOP!"

Agony seared his spark as Optimus Blocked his other exit Stingers shaking and pointing at each of them he didn't know what to do he was trapped he didn't want to fight them but they were really not helping with ensnaring him in a circle looking over to see if Blitzwing was doing all right with Bulkhead he found Bulkhead Joining the group a bit roughed up but no worse for ware but Blitzwing was nowhere to be found.

Blitzwing was already defeated when did that happen!?

He shook as his friends had successfully trapped him Prowl stepped forward barely dodging a well aimed streak of electricity.

"Calm down we're not here to hurt you"

Bumblebee stepped back only to step forward as Optimus had brought something from his subspace Stasis cuffs oh hell no he was not going down with a fight prime.

Bee slightly outraged shocked the cuffs from the primes hands they fell into the water, it was then he back flipped over just as Prowl and Optimus tried to grab him.

Sari flew over trying to keep him from getting away but one shock to her Jetpack and she lost complete control Zipping away from the scene struggling to unbuckle herself Prime came running towards him Prowl speedily alongside the prime quickly thinking he shielded himself before sliding underneath the two and managing to Knock them both off there pedes.

Bulkhead closest tried to snatch the Speedy bot up, there was no doubt it was Bumblebee only one bot was this quick.

Finding it his que to get going he transformed and Zoomed down the street like a bat out of hell Sari had regained control of her jet pack using her key to override it.

"QUICK HE'S GETTING AWAY!"

"Prowl you circle around the side street and cut him off me and Bulkhead will keep him busy sari you distract him from above he can't deal with us all at once!"

He ordered as they chased after the Silver striped viper which could probably outrun them any time of the day but prowl was much quicker.

Having taken a few side streets and used a perfectly placed wooden ramp to jump into the way of the speeding Viper.

Swerving Bumblebee struggled to avoid hitting Prowl and pedestrians all while Sari tried to get him to slow down, they'll never catch me alive I'm the fastest thing in Detroit!

He growled however he didn't like the dents Bulkhead was leaving in his side each time he'd try to knock him into the guard rail thank god it wasn't rush hour or else lots of people would be getting hurt right now.

Prime Honked his horn, just behind his rear almost bumper to Bumper, Shockwaves call was expected.

"Was just checking in on your Progress and to say that Megatrons a bit displeased with your performance so far better think of a way to impress him."

Bumblebee growled Prowl Sped along his side skirting over metal sparking against metal trying to slow Bee down.

"SLOW DOWN LITTLE BUDDY PLEASE CAN'T WE JUST TALK ABOUT THIS!"

Oh yeah like they'd be talking more like he'd be on the first ship out of here to the stockades for Betrayal and so much more, He sped up seeing a anotherexit pushing his pedal to the metal.

Sari managed to land on the hood of the viper trying to get in and put a stop to this speed chase

"Bumblebee stop its me Sari we're not going to hurt you"

She didn't expect a gun to transform mid drive Sari couldn't dodge the point blank blast knocking her off the hood she struggled to get up staring as her friend continued to drive away.

Optimus had seen the whole thing with shock he called to the Prowl with his communicator.

"Prowl theres a main exit ramp he just went through"

"Yes why"

"if he reaches that exit me and Bulkhead will go and cut him off just keep him distracted Ask him questions"

Prowl sighed some day this was turning out to be, they finally find bumblebee and now they were on a chase to madness trying to get him to stop.

"will do"

His engine roared as he sped to catch up with the viper,

"Sari are you okay?"

"H-He s-shot me?"

"He what?"

Optimus was in shock, Bumblebee was way out of line now transforming he opened a door letting Sari Climb in.

"ALRIGHT AUTOBOTS TIME TO TAKE THAT SPEED DEMON DOWN!"

Bulkhead sped ahead Prime in toe to a exit that circled around the other way where the exit bumblebee took connected.-

"Bumblebee what happened?"

Still no response Prowl tried to goad the bot on, into talking.

"you know what your worse than wasp at this point"

A rockous roar escaped the engine of the viper in a manner it was a start to a response,

"Maybe even worse than Shockwave?"

That did it with a screech the car halted spinning in a circle before ramming Prowl into the wall pinning him to the guard rail.

Bumblebee transformed throwing punches kicks faster than Prowl could Block the others came up the other exit ramp having been shocked to see the Bee actually attacking Prowl.

"Why are you fighting us Bumblebee we're only Nghh"

He didn't dodge the kick to his side blocking and trying to corner Bumblebee but he wasn't having any of that his punches were like heavy Boulders.

finally he grasped each servo pushing against the bot struggling to Hold him back, Bee was much stronger than he'd

"We're only trying to Help you!"

Prime didn't know what to do at this point Sari screamed at Bumblebee to stop but it was as if the bot couldn't even hear her was ignoring them.

Suddenly a loud clap of thunder and a explosive stream of electricity threw Prowl into Optimus knocking the group down.

Static encircled Bumblebee pulsing strongly,

"You wanna know why huh? cause I was trying to protect this planet and your afts from being destroyed!"

"And now you're just going to lock me up in the stockades just like wasp right prowl worse than Shockwave was it?"

Prowl was in smoking from the Power of the Blast Prime stood before Bumblebee this time.

His optics showed shock and worry for his friend, what had happened to there friend this was not the Bumblebee they knew Sari stepped forward.

"Bumblebee why why are you doing this?"

He finally broke servos out stingers charging for a final attack,

"Because I have no choice"

"Sari get back!"

Bulkhead pulled Sari back just as the Blast of electricity hit the prime he struggled to reach the bot as a nonstop stream of continue to push Optimus back.

"Bumblebee!"

Sari tearful cry sounded over the battle, even as Bumblebee drained his reserves he still couldn't push Optimus back, if anything he wasn't going to be captured he'd refuse.

Eventually he had to stop the stream lest he fall into Stasis lock, he panted rubbing away energon from the corner of his mouth, the battered smoking form of the Optimus stood before him neutral emotions upon his features as Bumblebee shook feeling he was at his end, he struggled to keep from falling into stasis.

However it seemed he'd fried even his own core Processors from fighting them all at once.

with finality he collapsed shutting down, just as Optimus caught him.

He cradled the bot almost as if he'd shatter.

"Autobots we're done here"

Optimus transformed driving off leaving a stunned team to check out the damage from the speed chase and themselves following the others lead.
