Wow I'm awkward at stories. Haha I've never written romances. Only actions and horror, so it's good fun. That introduction was terrible, but the woes of attempting to apply logic to some things is very harsh. Wow, thank you so much to the ones who have already followed me! I hope to bring you joy in chapter two. :)
There's a lot of memories in this one.
Is it me or do a lot of stories and movies start with someone waking up? Haha
Disclaimer: Haha Bumblebee gets too radio happy. Screw logic, I own Transformers in spirit. Not in real life.

Chapter 2: To be a Free Prisoner
Even without heart,
He could feel his beating fast,
Brought by true love's touch.
His mind clicked online. It was no longer dark and it was the first moment Bumblebee realized where he was. It was a dark and shallow, moist cave dug into the mountainside where they were trapped. There were noises of trickling water in the back that made Bumblebee know that this was not an escape route. Exasperated he continued to lay on the rocky surface knowing Galvratron knew he was no threat. Obviously because he was unrestrained and (mostly) unharmed. It irked him by how weak and defenseless he felt. Should he move or simply decompose?
Wait, where was his assaulter?
Bumblebee's baby blue optics scanned around finding no wicked sign of the silver robot. Feeling a bit brave by the idea he was not slaughtered yet, Bumblebee sat up and assessed his damages.
His chest plate was slightly punctured and caved in, his once rotund servo was nearly crushed, his back felt dented and hell, who said an autobot couldn't get a migraine? The nimble bot even thought his head gear was scratched and ridged from the force of the beatings. He had been a ragdoll in those fierce hands.
"No...Not my beautiful face..." He mumbled, attempting to cheer himself up. Surprisingly, most of the sever injuries had healed during his forced recharge. They didn't need sleep, but their bodies needed rest of its own kind.
He supported himself off the cave floor with the stable wall, but when he started towards the entrance he did not expect to see what he did.
Galvratron was once again standing outside the alien ship, staring intently.
Bumblebee wondered if a Decepticon could go into offline recharge standing up... With their optics open...if he poked him would he just fall over? It was quit a humorous thought. Bumblebee avoided that risk and travelled back into the cove.
He needed to try and contact the autobots again. His communication system was failing him, with no reception or response.
Great. Advanced alien communication with galaxy coverage and it couldn't get through one stupid mountainside.
He should have switched to Verizon.
It suddenly struck Bumblebee how much Earth had changed him. The marvel of their influences was impressive, considering he had been here not even a speck worthy moment of his life, considering their life spans.
Bumblebee remembered when Sam's parents would leave away on vacations or any long trip, Sam would have Bumblebee watch TV to learn more of the human's customs and for entertainment.
Bumblebee would get a window view while Sam sat in a recliner, it was when the autobots were still considered Gladiators of the Universe after the Battle of Chicago.
Mostly it was just clicking through channels, but occasionally something of interest would pique up Sam's and Bumblebee's curiosity.
"Hey what's that?" Bumblebee crouched lower to get a better view of the scene. It was two groups of men, but what caught their attention was the giant logo of the autobots with a giant 'X' on it.
"They are aliens! Since when has this world counted on giant robot aliens to help us fight our battles?" A squat like man argued, his body a strange rotund shape.
"Sam, what is this?"
"This is called a debate. It's when they have different opinions and yell at each other like asses until someone decides which they agree with more."
"Because of the Decepticons we have no choice but to find assistance in them." The negative stated.
"Yeah!" Bumblebee agreed readily. Sam chuckled.
"Those Autobots are the ones to bring the Decepticons here!" The affirmative was getting fired up," There were no Decepticons until there were Autobots."
"That's not true! What kind of bull is that?" Bumblebee was getting restless outside, he wanted to crush the motion picture device in his hands.
"The Autobots have agreed to protect Earth not just from Decepticons, it's an essential ally." This woman was intelligent looking, older and regal.
"They have cost more damage in our cities than any force we have ever dealt with, Decepticons are only attacking because-"
Sam quickly changed the channel, for Bumblebee was starting to get frustrated. After calming Bumblebee down with reassurances, a commercial turned on about phones, then McDonald's. Sam kept flicking through until a familiar face was seen.
"Hey! I remember this, this is the Powerpuff Girls." He exclaimed, content on watching the show. Bumblebee looked at the very strange wide eyed things on the screen. They could fly. They had superpowers not like weapons or force, but eye lasers and ice breath.
"Sam, why are you watching this?"
Sam looked defensive," Hey man, it's a classic."
"Why do they look like that? They look so weird."
"Well, before the world wanted Japanese-like giant metal transformers, they wanted cute tiny girls. I guess it was a gender equality thing." Sam scooted off the recliner to get a Coke out of the fridge in the kitchen. Bumblebee's optics watched him.
"What is gender equality?" He asked confused.
Sam returned to his comfortable throne, giving Bumblebee the same look he always did when the yellow camaro didn't understand something that was simple on Earth.
"It's when your enemy is attractive to you." Sam sarcastically stated, having fun messing with his guardian.
Bumblebee's face seemed to blanch," Why would they be attractive to be? Unless they had a magnet."
Sam laughed," Attractive on Earth means... Well, do you have relationships back on Cybertron?"
Bumblebee thought about the question, a finger rubbing his faceplate. "We have snacks."
"What kind of- Nevermind. Anyway, you know how you feel for those snacks?"
"Oh yeah." Sam could swear if Bumblebee had a mouth it would be drooling.
"Imagine that feeling for another Autobot."
"Gross Sam, I'm not going to eat them." Bumblebee shook his head, as if he very thought was too disturbing.
"No. That feeling though. Of wanting something so much toward them." Bumblebee wanted to be as good a leader as Optimus. ( Now Bumblebee realized he wanted the words Drift could say that Bumblebee had no eloquence in. Bumblebee wanted to be as useful as the walking weaponry bank Hound was. Crosshairs could go fuck himself.)
"So I'm attracted to Optimus?"
Sam almost spit out his Coke," I didn't know you were that way Bumblebee..."
"What way?"
"Forget it." Sam recovered from the shock and continue to sip his drink.
"Ugh... You humans have such strange things."
Sam shrugged.
"I don't know, we sort of like them."
The ground started to rumble. The small scout started to panic thinking it was another Earthquake. Why could the ground not stay normal for ten seconds?
Yet, this time it was a different rumbling. The cave was staying stable, no rocks were tumbling down, in fact it sounded more like the stomping or maybe... Growling?
Puzzled, Bumblebee hurriedly ran out, what more could his spark handle today?
A mighty roar was resounding off the enclosed mountains, mechanical roars of gears. Bumblebee stood astounded as he watched the eerie battle. Galvatron had the vicious Dinobot Slug in a chokehold, then the mighty Decepticon ruler gripped one of the metal horns, effectively gaining the upper hand. However, when the untamable Dinobot tried to roll over to crush the soulless reincarnate, Galvatron brutally used the protruding horn to his advantage. Revenge was acted as with terrible strength, Galvatron crippled and bent the horn, causing the savage triceratops to howl and snort.
Bumblebee had no time to question how Slug had managed to unfortunately find himself in Death's hands, but he had to do something.
Galvatron twisted the cranium of the dinosaur bot, making its body follow suit and soon the enormous triceratops flipped over.
Victory was short held as the tail of the beast whipped Galvatron's backplate, causing the tyrant to spiral off and allowing the beast a moment to recover. Slug, livid, trampled his heels, digging the into mountain dirt.
Bumblebee could see Galvatron start to transform his servo into a plasma gun, filled with the energy of hatred.
The immature Autobot quickly tried to find his voice.
"HEY UGLY!" He directed it at Galvatron, but to his dismay, Slug was the one to turn around to the distraction. Bumblebee slung his arm like a maniac.
"No not you, you overgrown demon turtle! The one with the-" Bumblebee was cut short by a plasma shot to Slug's head. Slug's body went limp after being pivoted to the side. The body of the once giant triceratops retracted into the body of a giant legendary robot. Bumblebee put his hands to his mouthplate.
"Boo, foul! He wasn't even ready, that was a cheap shot, but considering the low life who took it..." Bumblebee should have got that mental filter installed that humans talked about.
Galvatron started to calmly walk to the offlined body, not even glancing at the obnoxious autobot.
"Considering your help was unintentional, it makes it much more satisfying." Came the infuriating replay of the Megatron incarnate. Bumblebee felt his vents whirl. Oh, if was going to stay alive, he will make sure he makes hell of this evil being's time.
The cool steel of Galvatron reached out to the already wounded Slug, grabbed a hold of his headplate, and started to drag him back to the direction of the ship.
Curious, Bumblebee followed the Decepticon leader.
The ship was decrepit due to the crash, but mostly on whole. even the inside was quite in tact. They continue moving to the back the giant bodies of Galvatron and Slug taking a lot of room of the walking plane. Bumblebee felt so inferior, it was unfair.
Then what lay ahead shocks him beyond anything he had seen. In the prisons which had housed Optimus Prime, their leader, was holding all the dinobots once again. Galvatron had single handedly captured them immediately after their release. What monsters Bumblebee was surrounded by. Galvatron was so much stronger than Bumblebee had imagined.
"What? How did you capture them?" Bumblebee could see the distress of the creatures, at once freed and all too soon it ended. There were groans and noises of what Bumblebee translated to misery.
All these legendary legends were captured so easily, Megatron's new body Galvatron was so much more powerful than anyone knew, Bumblebee felt shaken.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Haha a curious Bumblebee is a cute Bumblebee. :) Has anyone ever done that where they put of eating just to write? Who've with me? Haha
