Chapter 2

Optimus couldn't help but smile at the new arrivals that stood before them. "It's been awhile. I'm relived to know you three are safe." He spoke to them.

One looked serious. "We came as fast as we could. It seems Devitron and his group picked up your signal as well. Where's Bee?"

"He's with our human friend Sam Witwicky. He's the boy's guardian."

"Interesting he taking after you." Another bot spoke to the other.

"We need to find him fast." The first said "If Devitron had gotten here..." The bot wince a bit.

"What's wrong?" Optimus asked worriedly.

"...H-He's here...and he had gotten Bee..."

"Quickly get some alt forms." said Ratchet.

- - -

Meanwhile in an old abandon underground bunker somewhere deep in Death Valley the Decepticons drag a still struggling Bumblebee over where Devitron stood. Near by Soundwave was just finishing up fixing up a damage Frenzy. "We got the worm, Lord Devitron!"

"Excellent." Devitron said with a smirk as he came over to Bumblebee, his crimson red optics glaring down at Bumblebee's light blue ones. Bumblebee grew scared, with was odd for him. He was never scared, he was a warrior but something about Devitron wanted him to be. "Your creator and your protector aren't here for you now." Devitron smirked. Bumblebee started to shake a bit, fearing for the worst. He sent his feelings directly to the one he knew could feel it. The said bot almost collapsed. He could feel utter fear raging through him. Devitron smiled, showing his scary teeth. "I'm going to enjoy this," he said. "Better start slow and antagonizing," he grinned. He cracked his metal knuckles and took a hold of Bumblebee's leg, pulling hard on it to slowly break it off painfully. He tried to struggle. "Decepticons! Restrain him! Do NOT hurt him! Restrain him!"

"Yes Lord Devitron!" Bumblebee struggled and tried to fight back. He was silent, knowing he would call out the name of his creator, his protector, if he opened his mouth.

- - -

He tried to push past the fear and the pain he was feeling from his son as he raced to the Witwicky household. "Rumble, is this right?"

"Yeah, you bet."

He pulled up and created a hologram. "Stay here." Both cassettes nodded.

- - -

Later on that night Sam and Mikeala were getting worried and scared. Mostly for once what they just saw Bumblebee being out numbered and over powered by a group of new Decepticons, and been taken away hours ago. To the teens this was a beginning of a lousy summer. "I wish there was some way to contact Optimus or the others." Mikeala said worriedly that night at Sam's house. Sam's parents were out so it was just the two of them, plus Mojo. Suddenly the door bell rings.

"I wonder who could be at the front door this late at night?" Sam wondered as he and Mikeala went to it. Sam slowly opens the door and saw a police man standing in front of them. "Yes?" Sam asked with a gulp when he spies a familiar shape sitting outside of the house.

"Sam Witwicky? Mikeala Banes?" the cop spoke in a serious matter.

"Yes?" Sam spoke with another gulp of worried.

"Get a few of your belongings and come with me." Sam and Mikeala looked at each other confused and a bit worried. When the cop notices they weren't moving he spoke again. "I was sent by Prime to retrieve you. So if you be so kind and do as I ask. The sooner we leave the better change we have to save Bee."

"Wait!" Sam called out as the man turns to leave "How did you know Bee? And Optimus?"

"You humans have slow thought processors. No time to answer you questions now. Prime and the others are waiting." The teens looked at each other oddly but decided to go along with it. They got inside the car, still wary of the two cassetticons inside. Sam was a bit freak out that one of them looked very much like Frenzy. "Don't worry," said the cop from the front seat. "I am an Autobot. I won't hurt you." With that the cop car started its engine and drove off.

- - -

After a bit, they reached LookOut point where the others were waiting. The cop car doors open for them. The teens slowly and shakily got out. That's when they notice Optimus wasn't alone. Sure Ratchet and Ironhide was there but still. Sam went wide eye when he saw that Optimus over the past couple of hours, gain new members to the team. Members he and Mikeala never saw before, heck even the cop car and its odd passengers that brought them there were new to them. Optimus, Ratchet, and Ironhide at that moment transformed. "Optimus..." Sam started "Who are your new friends?"

Optimus smiled a bit as he turns to the new members. "Autobots, roll call." He said "State you name and your position to our human friends." A very sporty Ferrari Testarossa transforms first into a male bot.

"The name's Wheeljack." He spoke "Mechanical Engineer, at times assistant medic, and inventor on the side."

"More like mad scientist." Ironhide said under his breath.

"I heard that. I better watch my self old man or the next thing you cannons shoot will be confetti."

A fully restored blue 1984 Chevrolet Corvette transforms next into another male bot. "Bluestreak's the name." he spoke with a smirk "Speed is my game. Oh I'm also a gunner."

The Mustang GT cop car opens its door and the Frenzy look alike and a sliver bot that looked like a hawk-like bot came out first before the cop car transforms. "...Prowl, second-in command, Military Strategist and Analyst..." he spoke in a serious tone. He points to the Frenzy look alike. "This is Rumble, my tracker." He then motions to the sliver bird like bot that had landed on his shoulder. "And this is LaserBeak, my seeker."

Sam and Mikeala stare at the new bots before them, mostly at Prowl. Just looking at cop car before them, Prowl had very similar features to Bumblebee, from the same light blue optics, to the jetting car door like wings. "Now to the matters at hand." said Optimus "To rescue Bumblebee from the Decepticons."

"Well at lest we can't leave him behind like we did when we got here." said Ironhide.

Suddenly Prowl turned sharply at the old Autobot, his optics glowing madly. "What?! Primus Ironhide!" he shouted.

To the teens surprised Ironhide looked to be very afraid. "Sorry Prowl!" he pleaded "The little guy didn't get hurt!"

"Prowl, calm down." Optimus said calmly "That was in the past and Bumblebee made it out just fine."

"If the little guy can do just fine back then, then maybe he can escape those Decepticons too." said Wheeljack.

Prowl turn and hatefully glare at him as well. "Bee can NOT handle THOSE Cons." He growled "Devitron and his group will tear him to pieces. If I wasn't around they would had back on Cybertron."

"Wait, whose Devitron?" asked Sam.

Prowl slowly turn to him, his temper lowering in front of him. Sam and Mikeala figured he did it so he won't scare them. "...Devitron is Megatron's creation..." Prowl said "He's the lowest of the low when it comes to spawns of Megatron. Devitron's one main goal is to dismantle Bumblebee."

"D-Dismantle...?" Sam said with a gulp "Y-You mean... He wants to...k-kill Bee...?" Prowl nods.

"Of course Devitron could never succeed cause Prowl always was there to protect him." said Ratchet.

The teens give a confused look. "Other then being my second in command," Optimus explained "Prowl main task was to protect Bumblebee from Devitron."

"Oh..." Sam started.

"So how are we going to find Bee?" Mikeala asked.

Optimus turn to Prowl. "Prowl? Have LaserBeak scope out where the Decepticons are yet?" he asked.

Prowl shook his head. "Not yet. But he wants to head out again to check." He spoke, to the teens' relief that the cop car calm down. They also notice in the way Prowl spoke, that the bot before them was greatly worried about their friend Bumblebee.

"Fine, but LaserBeak can't bee seen. If he is found out by Soundwave..."

"Soundwave?" asked Sam.

"Soundwave is a Decepticon that created Frenzy, Rumble, and LaserBeak." explained Ratchet "In one of our battles Rumble and LaserBeak got badly damage. I of course fix them, and Wheeljack altered their circuits so they became Autobots."

Wheeljack nods. "If he founds out he will try and get them back into his control." He said "And that won't be good."

"So that's why he looks like Frenzy..." said Mikeala as he looked at Rumble.

"That and they are twins." said Ironhide.

"Really?" Mikeala asked surprised. The small group of bots nodded.

"This just keeps getting more exciting," said Sam. The teens watch as Prowl was specking to the small sliver bird called LaserBeak before it flew off.

"How soon can we get Bumblebee back?" Mikeala asked.

"As soon as LaserBeak can find out where they are hiding." Prowl said.

"Good," added Sam. Mikeala just couldn't help but notice the look she kept seeing on Prowl's face. It was telling her there was something that the bot wasn't being completely honest.

"Hey Sam, something's wrong with Prowl. He looks...a lot more concerned don't' you think...?"

"Yeah...now that you mention it." Sam started "He looks like he's got the same look my dad has every time I worry him"

"...You don't think..." she started. "You don't think... Prowl is Bee's father do you?"

"Can Autobots have kids?" Sam asked also confused.

"I think so. I don't know HOW, but I'm sure they do." At that moment LaserBeak returned and started to talk to Prowl.

"What are you two mumbling about?" asked Ironhide, noticing the teens' whisperings.

"Well..." started Sam "We were just wondering..."

"Can you guys have kids?"

"I believe Ratchet would be able to answer that best," he replied. The teens looked over at Ratchet, out the corner of their eyes they notice Prowl looked a bit shock when he heard them ask that.

"Well," Ratchet started. "It starts similar to you humans. Two cybertronians that love each other..." Prowl watched the teens curiously as Ratchet finished explaining Cybertronian Sex Ed 101. As he soon got to the part about the spark joining, that brought back horrible memories of Prowl's past.

"RATCHET PLEASE!" Prowl shouted at him "NOT INFRONT OF THE HUMANS!"

"Then turn off your audio receptors. They want to know." Prowl sighed with a glare.

Optimus put a hand on his shoulder. "Easy, Prowl." Prowl slowly shift his optics over to his commander. He looked back with a small, discreet smile. "Take it easy or you'll arise their curiosity. If you don't want them to know..." he trailed off, purposefully leaving it open. He knew Prowl knew what he meant.

"...I know sir...it's just...it brings back bad memories..." Prowl spoke softly.

Optimus nods. "I understand."

After a couple of minutes, Ratchet finished explaining everything to the teens. "And that's how it is done." He said.

"Oh wow..." Sam said.

"So where are the females?" Mikeala asked.

"Still on Cybertron with Elita."

"Who's that?" Sam asked. Mikeala just smirked. She could tell by the tone of Optimus's voice that Elita wasn't just any femme.

"Got someone back home waitin for ya huh?" she smiled.

"Elita is Prime's femme." Wheeljack said with as smirk "Quite a beautiful piece of femme Prime landed." The others laughed and Mikeala just smiled big. Optimus looked very flustered and if he was human, he'd be blushing madly.

Prowl clear his voice processor to gain everyone attention. "LaserBeak located the direction where the Decepticons took Bumblebee..." he said in a serious matter.

"Then let's go," Optimus said regaining his composure. "Autobots, transform and roll out! Follow LaserBeak."

As everyone transforms, Prowl turn to Sam and Mikeala. "You two can ride with me and Rumble." he said. They nodded and climbed in, as eager to save Bumblebee as he was. With that the group of Autobots fallowed LaserBeak.

- - -

Meanwhile, Devitron loved the pain he was seeing in Bumblebee. "Soon I'll be rid of you." he sneers at him "And that freak creator of yours had failed in hiding you from me." Bumblebee looked away as his left arm was being pulled off. He then started thinking... Where WAS his creator? Sure Prowl was his protector and had cared for him ever since he could remember. But what about that kind femme that he remembered from his creation so long ago? Where was she now and why didn't she show herself to help him? He screamed as the arm was roughly disconnected with rips and pops.

- - -

Back with the Autobots, Prowl nearly swerve off the road as a terrible pain ran through him. "Whoa! Hey want's the matter with you?!" Sam shouted.

"Sorry..." Prowl said as he gains control.

"It's Bee isn't it?" asked Mikeala. "Somehow...you're connected to him. You can sense the pain and fear he's in can't you?"

"...I'm his protector..."

"Like, a foster parent?" asked Sam.

"...-heavy sigh-"

"You're his real father aren't you?" Mikeala asked. Prowl was silent. "I knew it. The way you were acting earlier... I hope I'm not being invasive..."

"...I'm...not Bee's father in a sense..." Prowl said softly "What I'm about to tell you, you cannot tell Bee. Understood?"

"Why no-..."

"Sam! Go ahead. We swear we won't tell him. YOU should be the one, not us."

"...Devitron is Bumblebee's father..." Prowl said slowly.

"That creep? No way..." Mikeala said shocked.

"If he's Bee's father..." Sam started "Why does he want to kill him?"

"...Cause of his 'mother'..." Prowl said softly "...'She' wasn't what Devitron thought 'she' would be..."

"...mother...y-you're... Prowl? What happened?" Mikeala asked, putting the pieces together. Sam didn't get it as he looked over at his girlfriend confused.

"That doesn't make-..."

"SSsshh!" Mikeala hissed. "Prowl, you're his mother aren't you? How did that happen? You don't have to explain if you don't want to," she added gently, putting a hand on the front passenger seat.

"...Under all this armor, I have a femme frame, yes...but my spark is male..." Prowl said softly "...Long ago, Devitron thought he was joining sparks with a sexy femme... But when he found out the truth...Bumblebee had already came into the world..."

"...I'm sorry..." Mikeala said solemnly. Sam was still confused.

"...When he found out he joined sparks with a freak...ever since then he wanted to not only kill Bee but me as well... I had to protect Bee... One day I meet Optimus and Ratchet with another called Jazz..."

"...So...you were...a male...born in a...girl's body?"

"Yeah," Mikeala said. "But Ratchet helped you out so you're okay now. But still...poor Bee. Good thing Optimus and the others kept you two safe. I'm glad that freaky creep didn't get you two... At least until now... We're really sorry Prowl. We couldn't fight all of them. There was nothing we could do..."

"But we're going to help now. Bee means a lot to us too," added Sam. "We'll help get your son and our friend back."

"...Thank you..." Prowl said.

"So why can't Bee know of this?" Sam asked.

"...Cause all his life I was called his protector...I didn't want Bee to know the truth that his father is a Decepticon..."

"But...can't you at least tell him you're his creator? I'd want to know who my mother was. To me, you're his REAL father. A dad is someone who cares for you, not something like that creep," Mikeala said.

"Yeah. If you want to keep the truth from him, I'd go that way. Tell Bee you're his father. You are for the most part."

"...I was afraid..." Prowl said "...If I told Bee if I was his creator...Devitron would... For many years since I put on the male armor, Devitron had no clue I was that femme..."

"...So...you were protecting yourself too..." Mikeala added sadly. "You have my sympathy..." she said gently, putting her hand on the front passenger seat again.

"Well, you've got our military here on Earth as well as Optimus Prime and the others to protect you now."

"...I know..." Prowl said slowly "...I wish we can get to Bee in time... I can feel Devitron making his death a slow and very painful one..."

Mikeala winced and looked away sadly. Sam looked upset too. "Let's hurry then," he said.
