Hey, Echo here. This is my first ever story, so I guess you can say I have no idea what I'm getting myself into. I am in need of a Beta too because I just know I'm going to have a lot of mistakes. This also takes place after the last tfa episode. PROWL DOES NOT OFFLINE! He is far too awesome to just kill off. Sari is not one of my favorite characters so she will not be in this fanfic much...if any. She is on Earth and she may or may not be mentioned in this story. Blurr and Starscream are not offline either. Wasp was cured and is now finishing his training to be in the elite guard. I may change the rating of this later. Right now it is T because I am parinoid. I welcome reviews...Flames will be extinguished by Optimus's fire hose. Now ...ON WITH THE ACTION!/
Summary:
Everyone always saw Bumblebee as a bumbler. Even his own teammates. If not a bumbler, then they saw him as too little or not experienced enough. They underestimate him. They do not know anything about his past and just how experienced he is. They don't know the connections he has. How much influence he can have on a bot. What skills he actually possesses. What he has lived to see. How mature he really is underneath his cheery personality. Then again... he was born and raised in Koan... the pit of salvation itself. H had to learn how to survive on the streets after being abandoned as a sparkling for his... unique skills. Being taken in and trained by Master Yoketron helps too. Now what will his teammates think when they learn just what he can do?

Bumblebee was nervous. Bottom of the pit, wanting to purge your tanks kind of nervous. They had defeated Megatron and the rest of the Decpticons, but now they were back on Cybertron. The one place Bumblebee didn't want to be. He wanted to stay on Earth or somewhere else in the Cosmos...just to keep away the memories. Sari had decided to stay on Earth and help protect the inhabitants with her newfound powers. He wished he could be there too. Unfortunately, he couldn't. He had to at least say goodbye. Right now, Bumblbee and the rest of the team were outside the Cybertron High Council building. They had been rewarded and reconized for their glorious victory. Bumblebee silently listened through the whole conversation. Bumblebee honestly didn't care about how much a magnificient job they had did. He wanted to get away...away from the stares, the looks, the suffocating eternity of hundreds of bots judging him. Finally, after he felt as if he would snap, it ended. He was free.
Walking away from the stage he turned to the bots he called teammates. Optimus looked proud of what was accomplished, and why shouldn't he be...he lead the team that defeated Megatron. Ratchet looked as grumpy as ever, but you could see in his optics that he was just as proud. Bulkhead looked a little uncomfortable, but he was practically glowing in pride at now being a true bridge technician...in training. Prowl was as calm and silent as always. Bumblebee could tell he was just as happy though, even if Prowl thought he hid his emotions well. Bumblebee could always read other bots emotions well, no matter how hard they tried to hide it. That why he got on the ninjabot's nerves so well. He knew just what buttons to push.
Finally, Optimus spoke to everyone," I want to tell all of you how proud I am of all of you and your teamwork." "No matter what came your way you defeated it."
Ratchet turn to the Prime," Now don't be giving us another speech after we just survived one!"
Bumblebee couldn't help but snicker at this. It was just what he was thinking.
Ratchet turned to Bumblebee and unspaced his favorite wrench." And just WHAT are YOU laughing at youngling!"
Bumblebee looked at Ratchet and raised his servos up,"Whoa Doc bot! No need to wrench me just because I find it funny that that was exactly what I was thinking!" He then smirked at his teammates. "Say what are you guys going to do now that the war is over?" he asked.
Everyone sighed at Bumblebee's humor, and then thought about his question.
Bulkhead answered first." Well, I am going to be working with Wheeljack and learn more about space bridges, and visit the energon farms my family works on in my spare time, little buddy." Bumblebee bristled at the "little" comment, but knew Bulkhead didn't mean anything by it.
Prowl answered next." I am going to take over Master Yoketron's dojo, I believe he would want his legacy to continue."
Ratchet was next." I am a medic kid, I will be working my own clinic...and fragging fixing destructive bots who don't know what it means to be SAFE." Bumblebee rolled his eyes at this, but gave a small smile.
Optimus was last, " Ultra Magnus has decided he wants to teach me to be the new Magnus."
Bumblebee smiled at everyone and asked" So I guess you bots will be really busy right?" Everyone gave a small nod of their helm. "Then I guess this is goodbye for a while right?" " I mean everyone is going their seperate ways right?"
All of his teammates gave him a startled look,but didn't deny it since it was true.
Bumblebee walked up to Bulkhead first." You were always there for me as my best bud. We did everything together and I'll never forget that.I'll miss you Bulkhead."
Next he walked up to Ratchet."You may be an old grouch-bot, but you were the best medic I ever had the displeasure to meet. I won't forget to be SAFE." He smirked at Ratchet, and the Medic gave him a digruntled look.
Prowl was next."You may b a stiff Prowl, but you were always fun to annoy. I'm expecially going to miss the times we got into arguments over the little things." Quickly Bumblebee reached forward and gave him a hug, then leaped back. " And I was FINALLY able to give you a hug without you throwing a shruikin at me!" Laughing he dodged the well aimed shruikin heading toward him.
Lastly was Optimus."Boss-bot you were like the sire I always wanted. You helped me through a lot of slag and I'm thankful for that." Optimus kneeled down and hugged Bumblebee to his chassis.
When Bumblebee pulled away he turned around and started walking away." Wait you make it sound like it's the last time we will see you." Prowl spoke.
Bumblebee turned his head and replied." It might be, you never know what could happen." He then turned around and walked away leaving his confused teammates behind.

Bumblebee knocked on the door to Ultra Magnus's office. He hear a muffled "come in" and entered , closing the door behind him.
"Oh, Bumblebee. I take it you have something to discuss with me?" Ultra Magnus said looking at the yellow scout.
Bumblebee nodded his helm and replied." Yes sir, I have considered your offer and have decided to accept."
The Magnus smiled at Bumblebee." Well, it does help that you are experienced with this. Have you any idea of a partner for this particular mission?"
Bumblebee again nodded his helm and looked toward the door. A nanoclick later it opened, revealing non other than Lockdown.
He smirked at the two bots who did not seem surprised by his appearance." So...Where do we start finding more crew members Bumblebee?"
Bumblebee looked at Lockdown." I have a few in mind that are off planet, but we're going to need a better ship than the one you have."
Ultra Magnus spoke up." I believe I can arrange that and any supplies you may need."
Bumblebee and Lockdown looked at each other and nodded their helms. " So when do we start the mission?" Lockdown asked.
" Immediately." The Magnus replied.
