~Bumblebee talking~

::comm. link::

Wow, I'm a jerk it's been what four months.

"No kidding Luv, even seeing the new bay-former didn't make you dive head first in to this fandom again. No you've been loving on some reptiles and the hell-charger."

{Well they are ninjas}

"I'm a ninja and she doesn't love me that much! Oh, oh Luv you can't forget some people are squeamish ssssoooo be warned there's gore."

Yeah what he said.

Confession (What's inside my head) ~ Red

Panic froze what was this thing doing? He pushed it away and snaked back against Raf, it followed him. Rubbing up against his leg like a love sick kitten, Panic didn't allow Raf to feel the creature's touch. It continued to fondly over them, Panic bristled and pushed it away more violently. Raf was his and no one else's this thing would not get his host.

The indigo blob trounced back up to Panic, and began nuzzle in to him. Panic growled at the being, who ignored the hostile gesture. Extending a tentacle to Raf's backpack Panic grabbed the same jar he had been housed in, the anamorphic being scuttled away from the jar. Two white eyes appeared looking so sad at Panic, pleading with him not to put it in the jar. Panic knew he could not risk it, Raf was a prime host this other symbiote would want him. Scooping at the blob it tried to get away when a black tentacle pushed it in.

Panic looked up to see Andi now sitting up and taking notice to the small battle with the blob. "So where am I, anyone can whoa?" Andi started with a grunt as she agitated her still sore wounds.

"Andrea, meet Optimus Prime, Bulkhead, Wheeljack, and Ratchet there are two more but they are on a mission to get some… cure." Agent fowler said as the new teen got to looking around.

"So Venom takes care of you right?" Jack asked with distinct distain for that fact. Andi eyed Jack but didn't reply right away.

"He's there when I need him, he feels it's the least he can do since he couldn't save my dad." Andi said as Jack looked down sorry for his disregard for her feelings.

"That's it, disconnect Bumblebee now!" Ratchet shouted, as he rewound the taping from Bee's visuals.

::You tricked me! Take me with you,:: a deep voice cried from the monitor as everything on it crumbled to dust.

Ratchet shut down that program and instantly began working on the cure. Running side by side simulations from his scans, soon one popped up as the correct formula. Allowing fresh energon to assimilate with the new information, he pulled it out when the computer beeped. Injecting the cure laced energon into Optimus and then Wheeljack, the discoloration around both bots eyes started to clear. Bulkhead opened the ground bridge Bumblebee and Arcee ran in.

"So that's it right doc? I can be on my way and try to find the kid," Wheeljack asked as he strained to sit up.

"Not by a long shot Wheeljack, you will need to stay here for at least another day or so." Ratchet declared making Wheeljack lay back down.

The mech grumbled at the news, Optimus stood up and looked over to the humans. "So you are all right Miss Andrea?"

"Just call me Andi…" Andi stopped talking and shook her head. "Sorry just a little woozy," Raf frowned as he felt a buzz like before.

"Panic, what is that the same thing from before?"

No, Rafael I took care of that this started when Arcee and Bee came back.

"What do you mean you took care of it," Raf questioned the symbiote. Panic wiggled a little under the scrutiny but produced the memory of the jar with the other symbiote in it. Panic became cross when he noticed that Raf was feeling pity for the sad looking sym, "Where did you find Panic?"

It was trying to bond with Jack's shoe so it had to have come from somewhere in Louisiana. It doesn't make any sense no symbiote lives there, ask Jack what went down in the sticks.

"Hey Jack so what happened when you were out with Arcee? You seemed a little shook up," Raf asked the older teen.

Jack grimaced, "There was this spider like Decepticon, she is called Airarchnid. She killed Arcee's partner before Cliffjumper, but now she collects indigenous species to what ever planet she is on."

The huntress is here on earth, we need to eliminate her now! She must have captured collected and hurt this other sym, that is why it didn't want to be in the jar. Oh man I know who this sym is… it is Misery the one who was adamant on getting rid of Venom's gene pool my gene pool. We should kill it, it isn't like any of the symbiotes on earth it will seek to conquer human and all other organic life.

"Are you sure Panic… it looks pretty helpless."

It wants you to think that, Panic hissed as he hid the jar inside the old worn out couch. We should get home remember we are on a shorted curfew now. Raf frowned, his parents went lighter on the punishment due that he was with 'Doctor Thompson' but he didn't call to say he'd be late.

"Hey Bee think you could give me a lift home now, I need to be there when my sister Pillar and Lizzy get home." The yellow Autobot nodded his head and transformed, walking up to his guardian the buzz grew stronger. Raf shook his head doing his best to ignore the slight pain that his symboite's sixth sense was causing.

Raf frowned the buzzing had not stopped when Bee and him left the base. It was coming from Bee, but why? Panic offered no suggestions on the subject, "Thanks Bee see you tomorrow." Bumblebee beeped out a 'you're welcome' before driving away. The annoyance had stopped once Bee was out of sight; sighing Raf opened the front door.

You know we could just run to the school, we don't have to have him take us. Or we could just play hooky; I mean you are not lagging behind or any thing. Let's go visit with Mania, Rafael. Raf chuckled at his sym's persistence to not go to school, he didn't blame Panic for not wanting to go. His classes were boring, the most excitement he had there was when Ratchet built the electro magnetic volcano. Panic was sent into a hissy fit when it almost set the school on fire, but he was cool afterward.

The teacher mumbled something about large red beams and schools being destroyed. So, enjoying your trip down memory lane? We have to do something quick, we are already late. Frowning Raf pulled out his phone, looking at his short contact list. Miko would end up skipping school with him, hitting to call Jack.

"Raf where are you, class has started," Jack whispered.

"Bumblebee didn't come and pick me up, also his comm. link is off again. You think he's ok?"

"I don't know Raf, you've been marked absent why not just ask Ratchet to bridge you to base." Raf ended the conversation. Raf let out a sigh, he liked going to the base but the pain that being with Bee now caused was not something to look forward too. Cutting into his lip with the fangs he got from his symbiotic partner, he felt the slit heal. Licking up the blood, Raf looked at his phone not just yet.

"Jack have you seen Raf, I'm getting a little worried." Miko said running up to jack in the hall.

"Talked to him this morning Bee didn't pick him. so he probably went to the base, why are you so worried Miko?"

"Just antsy I guess, so Jack what's your story with Venom?" Miko asked Jack face fell into a deep frown and he turned away from the exchange student. Miko frowned, and rolled her eyes then started on her way to class. Her pocket buzzed, flipping it open a message popped up.

"I've got a job for you if you're willing to do it child," was all it said with a blocked number. Miko's frown grew sterner only one. She couldn't deny the job without a good reason; transportation was not good enough to denture the man.

"I'm in, if you can get me there." Miko replied and walked to one of many emergency exits.

Raf sighed there was nothing to do in Jasper, it always seemed like a model town. The worst thing that happened in Raf's life time was the crazy cat lady getting arrested for animal neglected, and now his and Miko's 'kidnapping'. Letting Panic disguise them as an older version of Jorge, he walked to find Andi. Not finding the other symbiote teen, he pulled out the blue phone. "Pick up, hey Ratchet is Bee at base?"

"Yes he is here, Raf is there something wrong with your voice?"

"My throat is just dry, I should get a drink. Well school has already started it is a little to late for me to go so think you could send a bridge to the base for me." The duo listened to the background noise, something about the arctic was said. Raf smirked as he felt Panic shutter about his body, then the hair on the back of his neck stood up. The ground bridge had appeared, turning to the portal the duo shrank down to normal size. Upon entering the base Raf could tell everyone was gearing up to leave, well except Bumblebee. He was in the medical bay, his optics were dark however Panic's six sense was sent into overdrive. Raf grunted at the wave of pain that flooded his head, then the pain lessened as Panic profusely apologized and nuzzled into his neck.

"Hey, I'm getting tired of sitting here on my can as the people who shot down my ship and no doubt abducted the kid are still out there." Wheeljack grunted sliding of the medical berth Ratchet forced him to stay on the night. Optimus frowned, he knew Wheeljack was right. But by his reputation he would be willing to do almost anything to get what he wanted.

"Wheeljack I understand your concern but with out a vehicle mode I am unable to allow you to look for Smokescreen." Optimus said sadly, "We should not be long then we will all search for our lost brethren." Wheeljack huffed, Raf winced earning a questioning glance from the white mech. The others left for the arctic, Ratchet went to the supply vault.

"So kiddo you ok? You seem to be having a glitch fit with your processor?" Raf looked up at the mech, "An ache in here." He explained pointing to his head, Raf nodded as he moved away from Bee. The pain was now nonexistent, but the constant buzz was still there. "Now why would you have that?" Raf didn't answer the mech as a new wave of pain hit, then Bumblebee's body disengaged from shut down.

Is he supposed to do that?

"I don't think so,"Raf said aloud to his other. Wheeljack shuttered his optics at Raf then looked at the yellow scout

"Whoa Bumblebee lets just…" Wheeljack started getting up to try and stop the scout. Bee uppercut the white mech in the jaw knocking him out, then turned to the ground bridge control. The buzzing subsided as Bee left, Ratchet's loud foot steps came toward the main room.

"What did you do?!" Ratchet shouted, Raf flinched at the verbal assault.

"Nothing," Raf stuttered "he just got up and then sucker punched Wheeljack." Ratchet's frown stated that he was sure to believe the boy. Looking at the bank of Ground Bridge coordinates, optics went wide.

"These are the coordinates from when Optimus and I encountered Megatron's undead army. Bumblebee would not know those coordinates," Ratchet started. "I'm such a fool the physic patch acted as a two way conduit, leading bumblebee to Megatron's mind and vise versa."

"So Megatron is using Bee's body," Raf said looking up at the medic. A grim frown adorned Ratchet's face plate. "Maybe we should call Optimus?"

"Optimus is preventing a polar ice cap from melting. We are going to have to deal with this ourselves Rafael." Ratchet declared opening the ground bridge again.

"Ratchet be careful everything just seems off," Raf grunting as the buzzing returned. The medic nodded to the boy as he turned to face the vortex as Bee returned.

Raf's eyes steeled at the con in his friend's body, then pain racked his small frame. Panic shrieked in pain as a purple glow came from Bumblebee's hand, Ratchet walked up to Bee. "Bumblebee what have you been doing…" Ratchet didn't finish the sentence before Bumblebee, no Megatron decked him in the face like he had done to Wheeljack. Hate filled optics turned to Raf as the body jacker approached the boy.

"Bee, you have to fight him. He doesn't' own you, remember us." Raf said as a blue tongue darted to wet the boy's lips. Bee's optics widened then shrank; a hand reached out and grabbed the human symbiote duo. Raf felt the presser grow on each side, Megatron was trying to crush him. Pulling in a slick breath he pushed against the fingers, letting Panic grow them to their true form. The presser stopped as Panic bared his teeth at Megatron, "I'm not just human con." Then there was a grunt from Ratchet, both Megatron and Panic looked at the Medic. Megatron dropped Panic and took off for the bridge, "You're not getting rid of me that easy." The symbiote shouted shooting out a strand of webbing and got dragged though the closing ground bridge.

"Rafael… No."

Scream growled, she was still no closer to finding the spawn then when she had first come to Jasper. Now she had to nurse wounds, Agent Darby would pay dearly. She felt a crack under her claws, she looked down at the now dead human in her hands. A frown adorned her yellow and black face, she pitied her prey as no one would know he was gone. But she had to eat and chocolate wasn't doing it for her.

Elongating a claw, she sliced his cheeks in half and dislocated the mandibles. Removing the top of the skull then set it aside. Lifting up the dead man's tongue she cut it out, and ripped the bottom jaw off. Gnawing on the bone she sliced down the chest to reveal the rib cage. Snapping the sternum in two by quickly slamming the heel of her palm into it Scream pulled out the heart. The lower jaw bone dropping from her mouth as she gulped the heart down, she turned back to the skull. Rage filled her, this is why she wanted to kill the other symbiotes so they would never be able to do this horrific crime yet here she was committing it.

Grabbing the head and stabbing out the lifeless eyes, the new spawn had to die this was its fault. Scream bashed the head on the ground splitting it like a coconut, and continued her meal enraged that a child symbiote had reduced her to a cannibalistic thing.

Panic let go of the webbing strain as he entered into the nemesis, rolling off into the shadows of hallway ribs. Quickly climbing up the wall to continue his pursuit of Megatron, he silently watched as the con used Bumblebee's body to take down some drones. He let out a deep throated growl as the villain didn't even care about his own, no wonder the Autobots bested him.

Reaching a large door the duo followed the masquerading leader into a medical bay. Panic's eyes went wide as he looked upon the Decepticon leader's body, it was huge. twitching as his hand grew into a blade, he licked his lips and growled. He could find a way to end the tyrant right now, but then Bee would be curse to share his mindscape with him. Slowly they shrank back to Raf but the per-teen stuck to the walls and shadows. Raf looked to the door as he felt the vibration of someone running down the hall.

"Megatron where is the human child, let him go and I will allow you to return to your body." Ratchet shouted running toward Bee who dodged the larger and less graceful medic. Raf winched as Megatron in Bee's body launched the mech into the wall behind him.

~You will allow me to return to my body?~ Megatron/ Bee taunted, hooking up a long thick cable to the back of Bee's head. Raf growled there had to be a way to stop the tyrant from this crime, Panic and him could cut the line but it would trap one with the other or render both comatose. Forming an axe, Raf spun and threw it at Bumblebee's leg. It clanged as it made a little dent in the mech's armor, looking toward the shadows Raf could see that bee was fighting back for control again.

"That's it bee fight him," Raf shouted dropping from the wall and running toward the yellow bot

No Raf let Megatron go back to his body!

"What!? Why would you suggest that Panic? That would be horrible for us, he knows about us."

Let him know that humans can be strong. That he can not take this world without a fight, let me show him!

"No Panic that will just allow him to form plans to kill the Avengers and all other heroes…" Panic hissed at Raf's logic, but he didn't argue any more. Reaching the yellow scout, Panic prickled noting the buzz was now at its strongest. Bumblebee looked at the duo hate filled the baby blue eyes of the scout; he swung at the symbiote host. Raf jumped over the large limb, and bared his fangs his glasses melted into his face and formed a mask. "We can strike a deal, you leave us the #$&% alone and we won't kill you. What do you say Megatron?"

~you wouldn't kill me monster, if you kill me you kill Bumblebee.~ A more sinister version of bee's voice said.

"Oh you act like we care about the robot, a means to an end that is all my kind cares about. We are a parasitic bunch, so you want to die." Raf let Panic take control, fingers growing into foot long blades. Ratchet looked over to see a orange being standing in front of Megatron, it was human sized and shaped. It seemed to be trying to threaten Megatron. The medic slowly moved over to the comatose warlord, if he unplugged the life support then Megatron would have nowhere to go.

Reaching up and pulling the plug, Megatron jumped over Panic to Ratchet. Decking the Autobot medic in the face, then stabbing the dark energon shard into the chest cavity. It stated to glow, Panic screeched in pain as the shard disappeared into the warlord's body. Sending out a strand of web attaching to the patch, yanking the thing out just as the buzzing from Bumblebee's presence faded, Megatron's blood red optics opened. The Decepticon leader started to get up on shaky peds, Panic returned Raf to his human state. Megatron grimaced as the door to the medical wing opened to reveal around a dozen drones.

"Decepticons your rightful lord and master has returned!" Megatron shouted, Ratchet looked up to see Raf backing away from the warlord. The medic frowned Raf was here, but now where was the orange creature? Bumblebee slowly on lined his optics to see Megatron now standing before him with a twisted smile on his face. "Dispose of these pests, I have my own extermination to perform." The drones opened fire, Panic hissed and was ready to kill but was scooped up. The symbiote was ready to lash out on the medic and slaughter the faceless drones.

Tell him to let us go, we can fight, I'll kill them. Please Raf, Panic pleaded to his host but it was too late. The four of them where headed out side. Bumblebee took the duo from Ratchet as they jumped from the large war ship to an ice shelf around fifty feet away.

Slowly the medic started his descent down the shelf. Bee looked at Raf and his sym, ~Look snow, Panic like the cold doesn't he?~ Raf looked up at the yellow scout and smiled.

"Yeah he does."
