Second chapter! Sorry for any mistakes, it's late and I'm tired. Enjoy! References the ending of Transformers Prime: Beast Hunters. The episode 'Deadlock' which is the last episode of the series, so spoilers if you haven't seen Prime! Oh, and the Cybertron history lesson is taken from Prime. Indicates flashback.

"So who is he?" The other members of Bee Team looked at Rusty.

"I don't know, Rusty. But the Lieutenant knows him." Strongarm frowned, looking back to where Bumblebee and Knockout were talking.

"He kinda looks like you, Sideswipe."

"He does, doesn't he? Weird."

"He seems…familiar." Grimlock grumbled, scratching his chin.

"How do you think he and Bumblebee know each other?" Rusty asked.

No bot could answer him. Strongarm brought up her arm computer, scanning it for something before powering it off again.

"Well, the Lieutenant was in the Great War. Maybe that's where they met. He did say an old friend."

"War? What war?" Rusty asked.

"The war between Autobots and Decepticons." Strongarm said. She sat, and the others followed suit. "Many Earth years ago, many Earth millennia actually. It started because the old class system had the rich getting more energon than they needed, and the poor not getting enough. Fighting began, the poor formed the Decepticons, and military for the higher class formed the Autobots. The leader of the Decepticons was Megatron, and the leader of the Autobots was Optimus Prime." She pulled up images of the famed leaders for Rusty to see. "The war raged for several millennia. Both sides fought for Cybertron, but the battle between the sides destroyed our planet. Lieutenant Bumblebee was one of the last Cybertronians born before Cybertron died."

"Woah." Rusty's eyes were wide as saucers. "Really?"

Strongarm nodded. "During the last leg of the war, there were both Autobots and Decepticons on Earth."

"Really? There were bots on Earth? Including Bumblebee?"

"Yep. The main force of both Autobots and Decepticons were on Earth, including Optimus Prime and Megatron. They fought here for a while before the Autobots emerged victorious. Bumblebee himself killed Megatron. They managed to find a relic of ancient Cybertron, the Omega Lock, and using synthesized energon and CNA, they restored Cybertron. Once the planet was living once more, they rebuilt." Strongarm pulled up a picture of New Cybertron, specifically New Prime City*. "And they got rid of the division between Autobot and Decepticon."

"Which wasn't that easy." Bumblebee's voice surprised the others. They looked to see him and Knockout standing there.

"Why not?" Bumblebee smiled tiredly at Rusty.

"Autobots and Decepticons had been at war for several thousand millennia. You don't get over that division real easily." Bee's eyes flashed to Knockout for the barest second. "Those born into the war had the hardest time adjusting. Luckily, once the Well of All Sparks was restored, the new generation wasn't born with that division. That made it easier to start over with our society."

"Were you really on Earth before?"

Bee let out a chuckle. "Oh yeah. We worked with the military then, even had a federal agent popping in on us occasionally."

"Wow. Did you have a secret base?"

"We did." Bumblebee grinned. "It had a great vantage point for sunrises and sunsets too." Knockout scoffed. "What? It did!"

"Strongarm said you killed the Decepticon leader! Is that true?"

Knockout and Bumblebee exchanged looks. "Yes." Bee answered shortly. "I did kill him."

Knockout smirked. "In fact, some history books back home call him 'the Slayer of Megatron'."

"Knockout!"

"Well, they do!"

Bumblebee groaned, dropping his helm into his hand.

"How'd you kill Megatron?"

Bumblebee looked up at that. "What?"

"How'd you kill Megatron?"

"Optimus!" He hears Ratchet call desperately. Pain, pain, that's all there is. His chest is on fire, he can feel his spark going out, he sinks further into the pool of CNA. He can just barely make out the back of Megatron, looking over the edge of the Omega Lock.

Optimus.

His hand clenches, and tightens around a handle.

The Star Saber. He has the sword of the primes, a weapon that can defeat Megatron, save Optimus, save Earth, save Raf.

He can hear Raf's voice, calling for him to get up.

He gets up.

Megatron doesn't notice when he climbs from the pool.

"Prepare to join your scout in the All Spark."

"Megatron!" Someone roars. Megatron turns.

Bumblebee thrusts the Star Saber through the Decepticon warlord with all his strength. The sword slides through, and Megatron looks down in shock.

"You took my voice. You will never rob anyone of anything ever again."

Megatron grunted, and tried to raise his own blade, but dropped it. Slowly, the light in his optics and the light seeping from his spark flickered out, and he fell to Earth.

He helps Optimus up, and they rejoin the others.

"Bumblebee…" Ratchet is amazed.

"Your voice." Arcee says, also in awe.

"My voice?" What are they talking about? "What are you-my voice," He stops. His battle mask slips away for the first time in millennia. "Ratchet, I have my pipes back!" He grabs the medic's arms.

Ratchet laughed. "Yes, yes, we noticed."

"The cybermatter." Bumblebee says, and oh, his voice is back! He revels in the sound of it, something he hadn't heard since early in the war.

"It is the only possible explanation."

"It would seem the old field medic made good after all."

Optimus turned to contact everyone else. "Optimus Prime to all units. Megatron is no more."

There's cheering over the comms.

"The Omega Lock is under our control." Ratchet says. "I propose that we put it to good use."

"Agreed, old friend. Ultra Magnus, set course for Cybertron."

Bumblebee taps his comm. "Hey Raf, if you can tear yourself off your laptop for two minutes, bridge yourself up here so we can go to Cybertron already."

"Wait, who's that?" Fowler asks.

"Bee?" Raf asks.

"Lieutenant!"

"Bumblebee!"

Bumblebee is brought out of his memories by Knockout and Strongarm's shouting.

"Sorry. Got lost in thought."

"Old memories?" Knockout asked. He nodded.

"Yeah." Turning, Bumblebee walked off.

Good? Bad? Tell me what you thought, please!

*I figured they would name at least one city (if not more) after Optimus.
