A/N: I was watching Bumblebee die in Prime and I thought of this story. I'm changing it a bit.

Warning: Characters death and revival.

Bumblebee jumped from where he was standing. He held the star saber. Megatron pushed Optimus away and fired at the scout four times. Optimus got up and pushed Megatron before a fifth shot could be fired. Each shot hit the young scout's chest, right where his spark lay beneath the metal. Everyone watched as the scout was shot. Optimus watched in horror with his Autobots. His scout was shot. The star saber fell out of the scout's servos and landed on the ground.

Bumblebee's optics went out before he hit the metal floor. The star saber was at his side. Optimus shoved Megatron to the side and ran to his scout's side. Bumblebee's chest was blown to pieces. His spark chamber was opened from the blasts. No spark laid inside of it. Optimus shakily touched Bumblebee's faceplates. He let a few tears go. Megatron laughed evilly in the background.

"Bumblebee," Optimus whispered.

He picked up the star saber and ran toward Megatron. The Decepticon leader stopped laughing and lunged at Optimus. The two fought hard. Optimus managed to hit Megatron and knock him to the ground. Megatron saw the dark star saber nearby and glanced over at Optimus, who was slowly walking toward him. Megatron grabbed hold of the hilt and pulled it free. A dark purple wave of energy hit Optimus hard in the chest, shattering the glass. Optimus fell back into a pillar and laid slumped on the ground. Megatron walked up and pinned Optimus there.

"Oh Optimus, if only you knew when to give up," Megatron sneered. "You've lost so much but you still continue on. You just lost your scout, and yet you still fight me."

"Just get it over with," Optimus spat weakly.

"What was that?" Megatron teased.

"Kill me now. You're right, I have lost everything. End the war. You win," said Optimus.

"Very well then Prime," said Megatron.

The tip of the dark star saber touched Optimus' chest. Optimus closed his optics, waiting for the killing blow. It never came. Optimus opened his optics to see Smokescreen in front of him. The young warrior had stabbed the star saber through Megatron's chest from behind. Megatron stared down at the blade that went through his chestplates. Smokescreen let go of the hilt and walked toward Optimus to help him.

"Smokescreen, why did you do it? I was meant to die," said Optimus.

"No you weren't. Megatron will die and we would of won the war," said Smokescreen.

"Then I still wouldn't have the things I lost," said Optimus.

Megatron managed to pull the star saber out. He stumbled toward Smokescreen and brought out his sword that was connected to his arm. Smokescreen cried out in pain as the sword stabbed through him. Megatron retracted and fell to the ground. Smokescreen stumbled forward and Optimus caught him.

"Smokescreen," Optimus said.

"You know, I was never the one to survive," Smokescreen suddenly said. "Alpha Trion said that I would do great things one day. I never knew what it was until now. That's me saving you from death again."

"Optimus Prime! You will pay for this!" Starscream shouted from above them.

The seeker flew down and was at his master's side. Megatron was still alive. Starscream smiled happily and kept the tears back.

"You're alive," Starscream whispered.

"Star... scream," Megatron barely whispered.

"Soundwave, bridge Shockwave to my position. Lord Megatron requires medical attention," said Starscream.

A groundbridge opened up and Shockwave walked through. He helped Starscream carry Megatron to the back-up ship. Soundwave waited there for them. A few dozen vehicon troopers came along with.

"Set him over there," Shockwave ordered.

"Ratchet, can you save him?" asked Optimus once they were with the other Autobots.

"I'm not sure. We have to get him to the medibay," said Ratchet.

"What about Bee?" Arcee asked.

"There is nothing we can do for him. He's already gone," said Ratchet in defeat.

"Optimus sir, I was meant... to give this to you," Smokescreen managed out.

Optimus looked at a small box that Smokescreen held. Optimus took the box and looked to Smokescreen, who gave him a small smile. Ratchet carried Smokescreen to the medibay as fast as he could.

Optimus opened up the box. Inside was the same chest decoration that his sparkmate wore on her chest where her spark laid. The small crystal flower glistened and shined. Underneath it was a note. Optimus' spark froze when he realized that this was from his sparkmate.

Optimus,

The young soldier that is now among your team is your son. He was sparked shortly after you left to fight Megatron. Please care for him and his twin. I love you my love.

Love,
Elita-One

Optimus shed a few tears. He didn't know that he had a son. He wondered why the young bot was so much like Elita-One. The leader rushed to the medibay. He burst inside and watched as Ratchet stepped away from Smokescreen with a medical tool. The sound of a flat-line filled the room. Ratchet looked at Optimus with tears before looking away.

"No," Optimus whispered.

"I'm so sorry Optimus. I tried to save him, but I couldn't," said Ratchet.

"Smokescreen," said Optimus and went to his son's side. "My son please come back."

"I wish I could of done more," Ratchet whispered.

"You did your best," said Optimus.

"Optimus, quickly!" Arcee shouted from down the hall.
