A/N: I had a dream and the plot bunny wouldn't leave me alone, so I'm making a new story.
Summary: A new relic has been found, but the relic turns the two youngest Autobots and two Decepticons into large metal dire wolfs. Can they turn back to normal or will they die trying? Torture and energon spills in later chapters.
"Smokescreen and Bumblebee, I have a mission for both of you," Optimus said well Ratchet powered up the ground bridge. Smokescreen perked up, "Is it a relic? I'm going to beat every slagin' Con."
Bumblebee ignored Smokescreen, "Where are we going?" Ratchet answered, "A forest in California. The Red Wood forest it would seem."
"I have decoded coordinates for other relic. I'm sending you two."
Smokescreen smiled and started running toward the ground bridge, "Come on Bumblebee." Smokescreen ran through the ground bridge.
Bumblebee sighed, "Do I have to go with him? Hurry Ratchet, close the bridge." Optimus walked up to the scout and put his hand on Bee's shoulder. "Be careful, and keep an eye out for Smokescreen. He is very rash." Bee nodded and ran through the ground bridge.
Smokescreen ran through the ground bridge and froze when he looked around. Large trees, hundreds of feet tall, making any transformers look like ants. This place was beautiful. Right in front of Smokescreen was a small creek and all around large trees. The sunset was shining between the trees, making everything glow.
"You are coming?" Bumblebees' beeps broke the beautiful silence, and made Smokescreen jump. Smokescreen turned around and saw the ground bridge was gone and Bumblebee was standing in its place.
Bumblebee started walking away from the creek. Smokescreen ran to catch up. "The coordinates are about half a mile, so not that far." Bumblebee beeped.
The two Autobots kept walking and looking at the area, looking if any Cons' were nearby.
Bumblebee finally stopped, "This is the place." Both bots looked around. Nothing but trees and more trees. Smokescreen looked at the ground, "Guess we have to dig." Bumblebee nodded, and both Autobots started digging.
After an hour digging Smokescreen hit something. The young solider smiled, "I found it. That's another one!" Bumblebee rolled his optics and watched as Smokescreen lifted the relic out of the ground. Smokescreen opened the relic case and lifted the relic out.
It was a glowing green gem inside of a clear case with a metal wolf head carved in it.
Bumblebee tilted his head to the side. "What is that?" Smokescreen opened his mouth to answer when someone beat him to it.
"Well look at this, my Lord. They found it for us." The Autobots turned around and saw the Deceptions' medic, Knockout and the Deception leader himself, Megatron.
Smokescreen noticed Bumblebee's door wings went down a little. "This is not good." Smokescreen said. Bee gave him a look, "You don't say. Soundwave must be nearby; I can't connect to the base." Smokescreen turned around hoping to find an escape route, but was horrified when at least twenty vehicons around them.
Megatron walked forward, right up to the two Autobots and smiled, "Give me the relic and your death will be fast and painless."
Bumblebee opened up a com. link between himself and Smokescreen. 'Did you bring the phase sifter?' Smokescreen mentally slapped himself. 'No.'
Both Autobots slowly stepped back from the Deception leader. Megatron brought out his sword, "Give the relic to me, NOW!"
Smokescreen smirked, "Come and get it."
The vehicons activated their weapons and fired at the Autobots. The Autobot scout easily dodged the gun fire, but the inexperience Autobot ran and tackled a vechicon and hid be hide a tree.
Smokescreen opened the com. link. 'Do you have a plan?' 'I didn't plan it being an ambush, but we can't fight our way out. We can spilt up, you take the relic and hide and I'll draw their fire.'
Smokescreen shook his head, even though Bumblebee couldn't see him. 'No way am I letting you have all the fun. I can fight.' 'They were right you are stubborn. Listen to me. Run right now, and they won't notice you, I'll keep them busy. I'm a scout, this is what I do. Fight and hide. Run and get help. NOW!'
Smokescreen was surprised, but did what he was told for once and hoped he wouldn't regret this. He ran further into the forest trying to get a signal, nothing.
He ran until he didn't hear anybody fallowing him. He stopped and looked around. This is where the ground bridge was. "Optimus? Is anyone there? If you can hear me send help, I have the relic but Bumblebee and I were separated, it was a trap. Megatron was waiting for us. Can you hear me?"
Smokescreen heard a laugh and turned around and felt himself being electrified and darkest greeted him.
Bumblebee saw Smokescreen run. True to his word, he started firing at the Con's, hoping to draw their attention, it worked. He offlined three vehicons and fired at the rest, but there were too many.
He ran in the opposite direction of Smokescreen. The scout would turn around and fire and then keep running. Bee took a turn, then other, then other. He stopped and hid be hide a large tree and listened.
He heard footsteps going away from him. He slowly walked out of his hiding place, and stopped, and looked and listened, nothing. He walked around carefully, hiding in shadows.
He froze when he heard voices. Vehicons, no doubt. He carefully went around the talking vehicons, not making a sound. 'Where are Megatron and Knockout? Did they fallow Smokescreen?'
Bumblebee heard footsteps and stopped walking, and so did the other foot steps. He turned around and saw no one, but they could be hiding be hide the trees. Bee started walking again, quieter and slower, and stopped again when he heard a buzzing noise.
No animal could make a buzzing sound that loud.
He heard a plasma gun go off. His right shoulder exploded energon and debris of yellow armor. Bumblebee screamed when he was shot, and fell on his back, fighting not to go into stasis.
Bumblebee looked around with burly vision, he saw who shot him.
"Did you really think that trick would work? Foolish Autobot and I still have to repay you for bringing me back to the living and for taking the Spark Extractor from me scout" Megatron walked to the wounded Autobot scout and smiled.
"This is going to be fun." Megatron picked up Bee by the neck. Even damaged, this gave Bumblebee flashbacks of Tyger Pax. "But the fun is going to have to wait I'm afraid." Megatron slammed Bumblebee on the ground.
Megatron looked at his prisoner. 'The scout is out cold. Knockout better have got the other Autobot by now.' Megatron thought to himself.
Megatron walked through the ground bridge that appeared, dragging the unconscious Autobot with him.
A/N: The next chapter or the next one after that is going to get messy. No slash, just tortured and energon spills.
