Iacon.

Bumblebee watches from a building overlooking the city in pride. The Decepticons were no more with Steeljaw being the last Con apprehended with peace reigning Cybertron once and for all. A long fought war ended today and the final legs of the Decepticons has been taken down. A smile curves on his face knowing he can rest now that this is all over but he remembers the sacrifices the war has taken. Cliffjumper, Alpha Trion...and finally Arcee herself as his smile fades away. Strongarm walks behind him as her footsteps get his attention causing Bumblebee to turn around.

"Pretty day for speeches and medals. Don't you think?" His partner smiled as Bee gives a small chuckle. Just seeing her gives a him flashbacks of the blue femme thus making him wonder what happened to her. Last he heard, she was running away from the Council after team Prime was blacklisted. Death is not out of the question though but he holds on hope that she's still alive...somewhere.

"Well I prefer my celebration to be peaceful and silent. Gives me time to reminiscence about things." Bee replied. Strongarm could by his body language that something is not okay with him right now. She wonders what to say to him but sighs realizing that she can't just filler bust right before going into what's wrong.

"I'll break: Something up? You look down. Don't try to hide anything from me." Strongarm asks him which catches the warrior off guard. He was never really good at hiding his emotions anyway and he curses himself for that. But throughout the struggles they've been through, Bee knows that he can trust her entirely even as a friend. The Autobot sighs and turns around while leaning against the balcony.

"Remember how the council blacklisted team Prime and anyone who supported him? Well...among the ones who were scattered was an old comrade of mine, her name is Arcee. I'm sure you heard about her." Bumblebee explained to him as Strongarm nodded knowing the female blue Autobot. Arcee is also her hero too which is an added bonus to the familiarity.

"Yeah. She's my hero." She responded before Bee closes his optics and sighs right before opening them again.

"When the council blacklisted Optimus's supporters and my team, Arcee was among them. Last I heard was that she fled Cybertron and went to Earth which I haven't seen her ever since. Not even her old partner, Jack, doesn't know where she is. Maybe the worst did happen to her...I know she's tough but I wouldn't rule out that happening. Plus there's no signal of her there too." Bumblebee explained. Strongarm aims her optics on the ground trying to come up with something to him.

"Maybe she's off world somewhere and she doesn't know what's going on. That or...well maybe she retired." Strongarm responded causing Bee to softly laugh.

"I highly doubt that. She's too hard headed to do such a thing and if she did-She'll come back because she was bored. Arcee never gives up easily." Bumblebee replied as he continues where she is right now.


Years Prior.

The vast emptiness of space fills the void with Earth and it's moon filling it. Behind the moon is the space bridge the Decepticons used to get to Cybertron as Autobots still have a use for the machine in case they need Earth's help. A green light opens in the hole as a ship with an Autobot symbol is on it followed by another. It returns fire at the other ship while avoiding its shots. Inside is Arcee herself who is maneuvering the dodges. She knew something was wrong with the council from the start ever since they rose to power, the Autobot never heard of them before and somehow they popped out of nowhere then took control of Cybertron which made them more shady than ever. Arcee gets on the communication line to talk some sense on whoever is shooting at her.

"This is an Autobot ship! Cease fire!" Arcee pleaded but the ship continues to fire at her much to her annoyance. The ship behind her resembles a classic Decepticon bomber ship with a green and purple aesthetic to it although there's a pilot inside it. She hesitates on the controls but sighs and fires one last shot at her causing the ship to plummet towards Earth as Arcee's optics shrink in fear. The Autobot attempts to stop her crash to make it a soft landing as the ship breaches the atmosphere and finally crashes on the ground with her vision going dark...The ship that shot her down hovers over the wreckage before flying off again.

Arcee's vision comes back online although it's partial now but her internal systems are damaged with a small chance of survival. There's one other way though: Stasis. Stasis helps the body heal for a long period of time hence why it's a last resort. Arcee never knew what stasis felt like and what goes on inside. She's scared of seeing nothing but a black screen in front of her for years. But there is no other choice...The Autobot closes her optics and transforms back into her motorcycle form before powering down. Her vision begins to lighten up...

She's back in the old base. The female Autobot looks at her hands before looking around to see her partner, Cliffjumper again alongside Bulkhead, Bumblebee, Optimus, and Ratchet. Arcee sighs in relief while Cliffjumper turns to her. She can compare this to what humans called a coma dream where the mind goes to safe place due to the body being

"You okay Cee?" Cliff asks.

"Yeah. I'm okay." Arcee responded.


February 2, 2037.

"Well look at you..." Zlatko Andronikov observed the motorcycle and the crash site that is now buried in moss as nature took over the wreckage. Beside him is his loyal android Luther or at least his slave to his will. He heard rumors of an alien ship crashing in the outskirts years ago but he didn't expect to find this while throwing away some broken androids out here. The man whistles at the sight of the place but wonders why is a motorcycle there among them although it's a vintage.

"Luther, help me get that to the truck."


Andronikov Residence, 2038.

The motorcycle stands still in the garage as Zlatko admires it's beauty although it could use some polish. He hears the doorbell upstairs causing him to head up knowing that Luther brought two androids in for him to tinker around with again. The screen on the vehicle's head begins to light up revealing Arcee's systems are almost in repairs and it's time to end stasis soon.
