When the words the radio people talk and it's what Bumblebee wants to say, the words will be normal.
Chapter One: Failed To Protect You
"Arcee, where are we going?" Jack asked curiously as Arcee drove him to the outside of the deep, dark infested woods.
She replied, "I got a message from Bulkhead, saying that Ratchet had a mission for us since we were going out anyways." Once she stopped driving, Jack took off his helmet and hopped off of her. As soon as Jack was off of her, she transformed back into robot form.
He looked up at her and asked, "What are we doing out in the woods then? Are we looking for…?" His eyes shifted away from hers. Arcee looked down at him and said softly, "Not exactly…"
He was a bit terrified to go back in the woods ever since what happened last time, but he knew had had to be strong. For himself, and for his trusted partner. He asked, "Then what are we doing out here if we aren't looking for her?"
"We're looking for her ship."
"Why? What good is it now? I blew it up last time we saw her."
"Yes, but not everything was blown up by the explosion."
"Not everything? Is there something in her ship that didn't get destroyed?"
She nodded and explained, "The technology on her ship is far advanced from what we have here on earth. With the weapons and other technology she had, we could have Bulkhead or Ratchet build a weapon of some sort to help us defeat the decepticons."
Jack smiled a bit and said, "And I'm guessing we're going to her ship to see if any of her things were blown up, right?"
Arcee smiled and nodded. She took a step forward and said, "Let's go, kid. We have a mission to do… and Jack?"
He looked at her with questioning eyes as she turned to look at him. She said with a hint of worry in her voice, "Try to stay near me in case something happens. I don't want anything to happen to you like last time we came here."
The teen nodded and started to walk closely behind her as she began to move forward. But little did they know, a certain purple eyed decepticon was watching them, hidden in the shadows.
At Arachnid's Burnt Ship….
Once the duo made it to the almost completely destroyed ship, they instantly searched for any sign of the door. They made their way to what could be the door when suddenly a dark, twisted voice said from behind them, "If you wanted to go inside, all you had to do was ask."
Jack gasped as the voice sent cold shivers down his spine. Arcee instantly turned around and gave an angry glare towards the decepticon.
"What are you doing back here, Arachnid?"
"I could ask you the same thing, little autobot."
"What have you come back here for!"
"Nothing really, just seeing if Jack was here."
Arcee stepped in front of Jack protectively and said firmly, "You're not getting him, not today or any other day." But all the spider bot did was laugh at her boldness.
Arachnid smirked and said, "You say that like you really are going to protect him with your life, but today, Arcee, I am going to take him. And as the days get more and more painful for you to bear without him, I will simply take his life right before your very eyes."
She chuckled as she said, "Now give me the boy and I promise his killing will be quick and painless. He won't feel a thing," she laughed again, "but you will feel something, won't you, Arcee?"
The autobot said, "I will never give Jack up to you! I swear it upon the Allspark that you shall never take him from me or harm him! Now get out of here before you go offline!"
"I'm afraid I can't do that."
"If you won't leave, then I'll just make you leave!"
"You don't scare me, child. And you're no longer scared of me… but he is!"
Arcee gasped as she looked down to see fear in Jacks eyes. She quickly knelt down next to him and whispered, "Jack, everything will be okay. I won't let her take you away, I promise."
He looked up into her eyes and gave her a weak smile. He nodded and said, "I trust you, partner." The blue autobot smiled and stood back up to face her enemy.
Arachnid smirked as she fired her purple lasers at Arcee, but she was too quick and dodged each blast that was aimed towards her. The decepticon growled, but then an idea popped into her head.
She aimed her laser towards Jack and fired one right in front of him. He put his arms in front of his face to prepare for impact. The air force from the blast sent Jack flying back, causing Arcee to gasp and run after him.
Arachnid laughed as she fired her strong webs at Arcee. The autobot turned fast enough to get smacked with the web and land with her back against a strong, sturdy tree.
She screamed, "JACK!" as she saw his body fly into the water, making a medium sized splash. Arachnid smirked as she saw Jack's body pop up and slowly start to swim to shore. Once he was close enough in range for the spider bot, she fired her web at him and pulled him in to her.
Jack squirmed in the web, trying to find some way of getting out. But it was hopeless, only someone as strong as Arcee or any bot could break the web.
"You should probably stop moving, you might want to save your energy for later."
"No! I'm not going with you!"
"Oh really? I've captured you, and your 'guardian' can't save you."
"Arcee? What have you done to her!"
The evil bot laughed and said, "She's not hurt, if that's what you didn't want to happen to her. But you will be getting hurt, Jack."
Suddenly a voice yelled, "NO!" Then the next thing Arachnid knew, Arcee was firing her lasers at her. But the decepticon would not let go of Jack, instead her grip got even tighter on him.
Arcee glared and said angrily, "Give me Jack right now, and your death might be quick and painless." She rolled her eyes and looked down at Jack. She untied him from the web and acted as if she was going to give Jack back to her.
As soon as Arcee was going to get him back, Arachnid smirked and threw him behind her and at a tree. Arcee gasped and punched the spider bot out of her way to save Jack.
Arachnid fell to the ground and thought, 'I need a better plan, Arcee won't let her guard down here in the woods, but maybe she'd let her guard down somewhere where Jack feels comfortable. Yes! I've got the perfect plan, I'll just snatch him right before her eyes.'
She laughed and started to dig a tunnel into the ground, making her escape. But Arcee didn't care if she got away this time. She just needed to make sure Jack was okay.
Once she got to his unmoving form on the ground, she picked him up gently and whispered quietly, "Jack? Are you okay?"
But he didn't respond to her, making her grow more worried. If Jack didn't survive, she would have failed to protect her partner again. But she had to try again.
Arcee whispered again, "Jack? Jack, are you okay? Please, wake up… don't do this. Please, I need you here. You're my partner, my closest friend. Please, Jack, wake up. Be okay."
Suddenly he started to sit up in her hands, she looked at him and smiled. He put a hand on his head and groaned.
"Arcee? You're okay!"
"Yes, but what about you?"
"A little banged up, but I think I'll be fine."
"I'm glad to hear it, partner."
Jack gave her a smile, but it soon faded as he said, "I guess we lost her again, huh?" Arcee sighed and said, "Yeah, I guess so. But we'll find her one day, and finally make her pay."
He nodded and asked, "Are we still getting the technology from her ship?" Arcee shook her head and said, "No, we'll have Bumblebee and Raf get it some other day."
Jack said shocked, "We can't let Bumblebee do it! How is he going to call Prime when he can only make beeping noises?"
Arcee sighed and said, "Then we'll do it some other day when it's safer, okay?" He nodded and asked, "Are we going back to the base now?"
She nodded and set him down on the ground carefully. She then transformed into a motorcycle and let Jack hop on her so she could drive him back to the base.
At The Base….
As soon as Arcee came in with Jack in her hands, Bumblebee came rushing over and made a shocked beeping noise.
She sighed and said, "I know, Bumblebee, I know. He got hurt because of me again. Can you take him to Ratchet? I have to speak with Optimus about this."
The yellow bot nodded and held his hands out for Jack to lie on. At the time, Jack was passed out from a concussion. She rested Jack on Bumblebee's hands and said softly, "Please take care of him."
He nodded and turned his radio on, "I'll take care of him the best I can, doctor." She smiled and they walked in different directions.
Arcee walked up the stairs to the big screened computer where Optimus was. She said nervously, "Optimus… we saw Arachnid again."
He turned to her and asked, "Is she still here?" Arcee nodded and said, "We were fighting when she started trying to hit Jack with her lasers. She hit him into the water and then she knocked him into a tree with her web when I went after him."
She kept going, "When he swam close to shore, she shot him with her web and pulled her to him. When I got free I shot her with my lasers and told her to give him back to me. When she was about to give him to me, she threw him at a tree behind her."
Arcee explained, "I punched her to the ground and ran after Jack. Behind me, I could hear her digging a tunnel to escape. When I got to Jack, he wasn't moving so I got worried. But-"
The leader cut her off, "I get what's going to happen next, Arcee. Thank you. I understand what happened now. Your partner was in danger and you went to save him. We can still capture her…"
At the Med Bay….
Bumblebee gently kicked the door four times and heard Ratchet's voice say, "Who's there?" Bumblebee internally sighed and turned on his radio to a channel where a little girl said, "Ooh, mommy! Look! A Bumblebee!"
Ratchet chuckled a bit and opened the door to see Bumblebee holding a passed out Jack in his hands. The medical bot sighed and asked, "This happened out on Arcee's mission, didn't it?"
The yellow autobot made a confirming beep noise. Ratchet took Jack from Bumblebee and gently rested the teen on the table so he could see if there was anything he could do to help Jack, or see if there were any injuries Arcee couldn't find on him.
Bulkhead, Miko and Raf saw Bumblebee in the Med Bay so they walked over and asked him, "Bumblebee, what's going on in here?"
Bumblebee pointed to the table where Jack was. The teens gasped and Miko asked, "What happened to him!"
Bumblebee looked down at Raf, who nodded at him. He made a series of beeping noises and somehow, Raf understood everything that was said.
Miko looked at Raf for answers, he sighed and said, "Bumblebee said 'Arcee and Jack went out for a mission in the woods and they encountered Arachnid again. She went after Jack and threw him at a tree.'"
Ratchet said shockingly, "It appears she did more than that! Look!" Everyone in the room looked at Jack's arm to see that he had three deep claw marks from Arachnid's sharp hands. Bumblebee lifted Miko and Raf onto the table so they could see Jack better.
As soon as Arcee entered the Med Bay she instantly gasped when she saw the blood dripping from his wounds on his arm. She rushed to him and asked, "Will he be okay?"
"My guess is that with some rest and bandages, he'll be fine by tomorrow."
"Okay, thank you. Was that done by… acid?"
"Luckily, no. If it was, his wrist would be gone."
"Gone?"
"Humans aren't like us, Arcee."
She sighed and walked out of the room, Bumblebee followed her out to comfort her. Miko and Raf tried to walk out but Prime stopped them.
The leader said with a smile, "Bumblebee can handle this. He always knows just what to say to everyone. Even with a radio and beeping noises to talk."
Outside Of The Med Bay….
Bumblebee called using his radio, "Wait! Don't leave me like this." She turned to him and said, "I failed my partner, Bumblebee…"
He shook his head no and had his radio say, "You have not failed me, friend." She closed her eyes and said, "Yes I did! He got hurt because I couldn't defend him!"
"We can get past this," his radio said, "as a team." She opened her eyes to see that Bumblebee was looking at her with confidence in his eyes.
Bumblebee was such an optimistic bot, he was the team's light. He could always get anyone to feel better, even if he could only use a radio and other noises to talk to his team and partner.
"I don't know, he looked pretty bad."
"Trust me, we can make it through the rain storm."
"Alright, I trust you, Bumblebee."
"That's the spirit, now let's go find that rabbit!"
Arcee looked at Bumblebee and laughed as he gave her a happy smile. With a bot like Bumblebee around, everyone could make it through. And with Jack okay, Arcee could make it through.
The Next Day Going To The Mall….
"How many times do you go to the mall, Miko?" asked Bulkhead.
"I used to go to the mall every weekend but not anymore."
"Cause you met us, right?"
"Yeah, and you guys are more important than shopping."
"Well, thank-"AHHH!
A woman screaming cut Bulkhead off. Bumblebee, Arcee, and Bulkhead stopped and changed direction to where the scream came from.
Once they found the location of the scream, they all stopped to see Arachnid wreaking havoc. The teens got out or off of their guardians. The autobot quickly transformed and got prepared to attack.
Bulkhead ran to attack her, but when he punched her he discovered that she was a hologram. He fell to the ground and let out a growl.
Bumblebee made a beeping noise and pointed up into the sky. Everyone looked up to see a large ship start to land before them.
A certain spider decepticon walked out laughing evilly. She said with a dark smile, "I see you brought Jack along with you, Arcee. And you brought my little Bumblebee too."
Bumblebee let out a growl noise and yelled by using his radio, "I hate you! You never cared about me or my parents!"
Arachnid rolled her eyes and said, "You'll forgive me later, you pestering little bug." He growled again and fired his lasers at her. But she dodged them and shot a web at Bulkhead who was trying to get up.
He groaned as her found out that he was now trapped. Jack hid behind Arcee a bit but he knew he couldn't be scared now. Arcee and Bumblebee ran at her and tried to attack her.
But it was hopeless, she shot Arcee away and shot a web at her to make sure she'd stay down. She grabbed Bumblebee by his neck and was about to end him.
Raf screamed, "BUMBLEBEE! NO!" Arachnid looked into Bumblebee's eyes and saw fear in them. She couldn't do it… she couldn't end him. So she threw him to the ground next to Arcee.
Just as Bumblebee was going to get up, he was shot back down by a web. Arachnid smiled as she saw all the humans trying to get their guardians out of the web. The teens didn't know how vulnerable they were now.
The decepticon jumped right behind Jack and snatched him away from his protector. He squirmed around in her grip and yelled, "Let me go! Help!"
Arcee screamed at Arachnid, "Arachnid! Let him go right now! Or I swear that I will destroy you!" She laughed louder and said, "You can really make orders right now, you're caught in my web. Just like the rest of your friends!"
Miko and Raf charged at the decepticon but were picked up too. She glared at them and said, "Annoying little insects aren't you?" She tossed them behind her, just like what she did with Jack yesterday.
Bumblebee made a loud, scared beeping noise while Bulkhead yelled, "MIKO!" The teens screamed loudly, but to their surprise they landed in a bush.
"Let's go Jack, we've got things to do."
"NO! Arcee! Bumblebee! Help!"
"No one can help you now."
Arachnid walked into her ship with Jack in her hand and smirked at Bumblebee and Arcee. The two glared right back at her. Jack kept moving, but he knew he couldn't escape.
Slowly the door to the ship closed, and Jack could no longer be seen. The next thing they knew, Arachnid's ship flew away in the direction in which the woods were.
"JACK!"
