Optimus quickly followed his youngling, zooming through traffic in a blind rage. Drift, Hound, and Crosshairs never knew Ratchet as well as Optimus and Bumblebee, not to say they didn't feel disgusted in the site of Ratchet's dismantled helm. The three Autobots did not need an invitation however, quickly following the scout and Prime.
On the way to KSI Bumblebee took the form of a newer Camaro, as he continued to lead the charge. Bumblebee slid to a screeching halt infront of the KSI building with Optimus and the others behind him. Drift quickly opened his door allowing the two humans to run out of him.
Bumblebee did not wait for an order, peeling off charging at the KSI building, he jumped transforming mid air, smashing through the glass building wall.
With Drift transforming into a helicopter directly behind him, the two went go search for Cade.
Hound, Crosshairs, and Optimus Prime all jumped through another side of the building, they charged through passing by terrified humans.
"Bumblebee I have a location on Cade, grab on!" Drift hovered up to the upper level floors.
Bumblebee quickly scaled the walls, grabbing onto Drift, the helicopter hoisted him up with ease.
Stopping directly behind Cade, Bumblebee kicked in the glass, calling for Cade. (Come on let's get out of here!) Bumblebee held out a servo for the human to jump on.
Drift quickly lowered Bumblebee back down to the ground, transorming into his robot form.
Bumblebee quickly placed Cade onto the floor next to Drift. (Take Cade to the other humans, I'm going to find the others!) Bumblebee quickly run off in the direction of the laboratory.
Bumblebee ran passed many terrified humans, and into the labs of torturous dismantling. Bumblebee slowed from a run to a halt, as the site of torn apart half melted Autobot bodies, lay on lab tables. Bumblebee had seen dead bodies before, but this was differen't. He felt like he was walking through Shockwave's lab, back on Cybertron. Walking further into the lab, he eventually came across Ratchet's half melted helm, continuing to be melted by little machines. (Ratchet!) Bumblebee cried out, smashing the little lazers destroying Ratchet's helm. (No!) Bumblebee fell to his knees infront of the horrific display, tears ran down his faceplate, the devastating site deeply took a toll on the youngling.
Bumblebee sobbed, turning away from what was left of the medic, he could feel a familiar presence nerby. Bumblebee pushed himself up off the ground, walking towards the pulling presence. The scout walked passed smashed casing, and monitors everywhere. Bumblebee was soon stopped by the display of a large menacing KSI version of what looked like Megatron. (No, it can't be...) Bumblebee gasped drooping his doorwings.
"We're not your technology!" Bumblebee turned his helm, hearing his father yelling followed by glass smashing.
(Dad!) Bumblebee quickly ran into the hallways were he ran directly into his father, angrily storming out of a large room.
"Bumblebee!" Optimus allowed his son to run into him, quickly steadying his crying son with his free servo.
(I saw Ratchet, Sideswipe, and... and...) Bumblebee's robotic sobs barely being able to make a sentence.
Voices of angry humans echoed behind them, Optimus had to act quickly. "Bumblebee we have to get out of here, come on!" Optimus quickly escorted his upset youngling out of the building. He badly wanted to comfort his son, but knew that they were about to be hunted down at any moment.
Optimus quickly transformed with the rest of his Autobots, and lead his team to the freeway.
Bumblebee was still overly upset, but transformed as well allowing Cade and the other two humans to jump in him. Bumblebee was right behind his father as they sped down the freeway. *Dad I saw Megatron!* Bumblebee warned through their spark bond.
"You what!" Optimus gasped as a large KSI robot transformed infront of them, destroying vehichles at random.
"Autobots fall back!" Optimus spun around avoiding the missiles Galvatron fired at them.
The team did as they were told, turning around in a field, they quickly hightailed it back the other way down the freeway.
"You got to haul ass Bee, come on!" Cade encouraged looking out Bumblebee's rear windshield to see Stinger speeding after them from clouds of smoke.
(What do think I'm doing, parking!) Bumblebee retorted through his radio.
"Woah they're shooting at us!" Shane announced as he saw missiles soaring at them in Bumblebee's side mirrors.
One missile flew by Crosshairs left side while another on the right side headed directly at him and Bumblebee. Crosshairs and Bumblebee both swerved avoiding the rocket by mere seconds.
The only things the rockets managed to hit was the on coming traffic, causing a collision and an obstruction under the overpass. Bumblebee was no stranger to this situation, and knew just what to do.
"Whoa whoa whoa!"
"Watch out Bee!"
"What are you doing!"
Bumblebee sped towards the crash with his father, as the humans inside him panicked and screamed at him. Optimus transformed leaping over the wreckage, while Bumblebee began to transform half way after jumping as well. Holding onto to all three humans Bumblebee soared over the overpass after the Prime, smashing through a semi trailer.
Bumblebee had a plan to hopefully slow down the KSI Megatron, but couldn't do it with the humans. (Optimus catch!) Bumblebee tossed the screaming humans at Optimus after the Prime was through the trailer.
Optimus caught the humans and tranformed, landing safely with the humans, on the other side of the overpass, he gunned it down the road hoping the wreckage would slow down the KSI pursuers.
Bumblebee clipped his peds to the overpass barriers, as Galvatron began jumping over the wreckage. Hanging upside down Bumblebee took aim firing about eight missiles at Galvatron. (Eat this!) Bumblebee growled.
Galvatron was unfazed by the younglings rockets, transforming into little particles he floated up and passed Bumblebee.
Bumblebee quickly dropped down onto his peds, turning around just in time to witness the particles form Galvatron's vehichle mode. (What was that!?) Bumblebee did a double take, watching the KSI truck speed off.
Suddenly Bumblebee was tackled to the ground, sliding, and sparking across the asphalt. Bumblebee quickly rolled over to be face to face with his red doppelganger.
(Oh so you actually woke up to fight!?) Bumblebee kicked the KSI bot off him. Bumblebee dropped his battle mask back over his face and prepared for battle. (Alright, let's dance butterfly!) he jumped to his peds, gesturing for Stinger to come at him.
Stinger did just that, charging at Bumblebee.
The scout quickly dodged the first punch, quickly jabbing his elbow into the red robots back, earning a pained cry from the robot. Stinger reached back grabbing hold of Bumblebee's arm, he tossed the yellow youngling down the road, firing at the downed scout.
Bumblebee had no cover and choice, but to use his arm to shield himself as he was peppered with bullets. *Dammit!* Bumblebee cursed firing his canon randomly in the direction of Stinger, hoping to get a hit.
"You worthless cur, you are a disgrace to your own race. I am insulated to be designed after you!" Stinger hissed stopping his weapon fire.
Bumblebee transformed peeling off he charged at the arrogant mech.
"Yet again, I am your better!" Stinger laughed as Bumblebee tackled him to the ground and punched him. "What, can't handle the truth?" Stinger continued to cackle as Bumblebee kept him pinned to the ground. "Face it, I have a better vehichle, a better genome, oh and what was that last thing..." Stigner mocked Bumblebee's flaws. "Oh that's right, a real voice, instead of a toybox radio!"
(Shut up, you are nothing but a fake human play toy!) Stinger cackled as Bumblebee tried to smash his face in. Stinger suddenly turned into millions of particles, transforming he sped back towards KSI.
(What, get back here and fight coward!) Bumblebee smashed his fist into ground, not noticing Galvatron speeding up from behind. Bumblebee's audio sensors perked at the sound of a speeding semi, he spun around and quickly jumped out of the way.
Bumblebee quickly put two and two together, and remembered Optimus was all alone with the humans. (Oh no, please no!) the scout transformed peeling off down the road.
Bumblebee arrived to late to the scene, Cade was on his knees in the field screaming, as a giant ship flew off with Optimus and Tessa.
"No, what the hell happened!?" Hound ran up with the other Autobots.
"That bounty hunter asshole just took off with Tessa and Optimus!" Shane freaked out.
"Well it looks like it's not going to far." Crosshairs pointed up at the alien ship in the sky.
"It's our lucky break, it's descending." Drift added.
"Then lets not waste time, we have to get on it!" Cade quickly ran over and Jumped in Bumblebee.
(Hang on I got your back!) Bumblebee peeled off in the ships direction, leading the Autobots charge.
Driving back into the city, every human was screaming and loosing their minds, over the site of the giant warship.
"Come on Bee it's decsending you got to get on it!" Cade encouraged the youngling to go faster.
Screeching to a halt on an old bridge Cade and Shane jumped out of the Camaro, as Bumblebee and the rest of the Autobots transformed. "Come on, come on!"
"Bee come on!" Bumblebee quickly followed Cade and Shane to the lowest part of the ship, he quickly scaled the ship helping the two humans up.
Drift, Hound, and Crosshairs, seemed quite hesitant to climb aboard the ancient ship. But with them or not Bumblebee was determined to find his father and save Tessa.
"It's a bad idea." Hound squinted his optics. "But I'm all about bad ideas, lets go!" Hound jumped on the ship with Drift and Crosshairs.
Walking on the outer shell of the ship the team paused where they found an opening leading into the bowels of the ship.
Shane looked down into the ship in fear. "This is crazy." he breathed.
Cade turned to the irishmen " You want to cut and run, do it now. I'm going to die trying."
Shane looked straight back into Cades eyes. "Hey I'm not here to help you get your daughter, you're here to help me get my girlfriend." Shane began his descent.
"We're behind enemy lines now. Lockdown's ship has booby traps, eyes open." Hound announced as he slide down the slant onto the floor.
"Beware of his bone grinders, brain blinders, flesh peelers, chromosomal inverters, catatonic sludge, black hole trap doors, and of course radiation." Crosshairs raised the hairs on the back of the humans necks with the death he listed off.
"We must be quick. We have the element of surprise. Let's try to use violence as a last resort." Drift suggested as he examined his surroundings. Suddenly a random snake like robot flew out of the wall at Drift, who quickly responded with violence. "I kill you, I kill you, I kill you!"
"Get it! Ugh I hate those things." Crosshairs encouraged Drift's brutal stabbing on the creature.
"That's freaky..." Cade watched the creature die.
"It is not alive anymore." Drift reassured.
"Well we looked, they're not here, let's go!" Crosshairs shrugged and gave up.
"What? I'm not going anywhere without Tessa." Cade looked up at the selfish robot.
"I'm unclear, what's in it for me?" Crosshairs challenged Cade.
Crosshairs was really beginning to piss Bumblebee, off with his Starscream attitude towards everything.
"What's in it for you!?" Cade asked in disbelief.
Hound walked over putting his guns barrel in Crosshairs's face.
"Easy, let's use words..." Crosshairs held up his servos.
"What's in it for you, is I don't kill you. We're getting the boss back, and the girl. Copy?" Hound threatened the drop trooper.
If there was one bot on the team Bumblebee liked besides his father, it was Hound. Although the bigger than words mech, was a shoot first ask questions later type of mech, he was the only one Bumblebee easily got along with.
"Ok, ok. Very persuasive. Text book machismo." Crosshairs sighed. "Well then, we'll need to sabotage something."
"Better hurry, because dark matter drives, are about to take off." Drift mentioned as the sounds of the engines wound up.
"Oh wonderful." Crosshairs rolled his optics.
"I give us ten minutes."
Bumblebee looked up and around as the sound got louder.
"Is that what that sound is, the engine filling up, are you telling me that thing is going to be taking off in ten minutes!?" Shane expressed what was exactly on Bumblebee's mind.
"Uhuh." Drift nodded.
"Ten Minutes!?"
"Could be nine, worst case seven." Drift shrugged.
"Humans, search the cell blocks." Hound began ordering.
"We're wasting time lets go." Cade agreed running off with Shane.
"We will find the center core."
"Let's stop this nightmare ship." Crosshairs growled, walking off with Drift.
Bumblebee wasn't really paying attention to everyone splitting off, as he was concentrating on his spark bond's signals. Bumblebee visibly jumped as a large servo was cuffed on his shoulder.
"Come on kid, let's go find your dad." Hound smiled down at Bumblebee.
Bumblebee smiled back and nodded, continuing down the creepy cooridors. *Dad?* Bumblebee called out through his spark bond. *Dad, dad where are you?* Bumblebee was about to step in a puddle of acid, but was quickly hoisted up off the ground.
Hound stepped over the puddle holding Bumblebee up by his doorwings. "Alright little buddy, I know you're busy calling out to your pops. But try and pay attention to your surroundings, especially in this death trap." Hound placed Bumblebee safely back on the floor.
(I will do better next time.) Bumblebee gave a thumbs up.
*Bumblebee!* the youngling perked right up hearing his fathers voice call him.
*I'm on the ship dad, where are you!* Bumblebee replied looking around as if Optimus was hiding behind a wall somewhere.
"What is it kid, you got a lead on where Prime is?" Hound questioned trying to gain the younglings attention.
*I'm in Lockdown's trophy room, you know how to find me.* Optimus replied to his sons question.
Bumblebee looked up at Hound and gestrured for him to follow. Bumblebee sprinted now, dodging sludge, acid, turrets and other traps alike, as the pull of his spark grew stronger the deeper they went into the brutal ship. Suddenly Bumblebee was ambushed by one of Lockdown's footsoldiers, Bumblebee was in a headlock, being used as an Autobot shield so that Hound wasn't so quick to fire. The scout squirmed, trying desperately to pry open the mechs digits to no avail.
Drift and Crosshairs rounded the corner directly behind the footsoldier holding Bumblebee hostage. "Oh here's an easy kill." Drift slowly crept up on the mech.
Hound noticed the two allies and decided to make sure he had the footsoldiers full attention. "Come on now, put the kid down, and let's settle this like mechs." Hound kept his gun locked on the footsoldier.
Drift swiftly sliced the mechs head clean off the bots shoulders, allowing it's lifeless shell to take down and land on Bumblebee.
(You could have sliced my helm off!) Bumblebee pushed the husk off of him.
"Lucky for you, I know how short you are, it is fine." Drift smirked.
(Oh ha ha...)
"Alright enough goofing off, Bumblebee lead the way." Hound gestured for the youngling to move forward.
(Alright he is on the other side of this door!) Bumblebee lead the team to a large locked door.
"Alright eyes open." Hound warned standing guard while Crosshairs broke the lock opening the door.
Drift walked in first, followed by Hound, Crosshairs, and Bumblebee.
"This has got to be the supermax." Hound commented the room. "Whatch your cornors."
"There's a lot of cages." Drift mentioned walking passed the wall of cages.
"Oh yeah lots of creepy critters in here." Hound agreed with Drift's observation.
"I don't want to know what's in the big cage." Crosshairs jittered at the site of the large cage.
"What's this?" A creature in a cage on the floor caught Hound's attention.
"Hound don't do it..." Crosshairs warned the giant mech.
"Aw he doesn't look very dangerous in there." Hound leaned down infront of the cage, as the creature fully exposed it's hideous form. "Oh, that's festering ugliness." Hound squinted his optics in disgust. Apparently the creature took offence, spitting green goo onto Hounds face plate. "Oh, I'm hit, I'm down, it's melting! It burns." Hound flailed around. "Oh I think it's acid!" he rolled on the ground. "Bleh it's just shizzle." Hound finally took a good look at the goo.
"Eeew! I hope that's not contagious." Crosshairs retorted.
"I got to hurt you now." Hound stared at the creature in the cage from where he lay on the ground. "You're just to disturbing to live." Hound pulled out a double barreled gun. "Take that, bitch!" he fired exploding the creature. "Oh, you're dead!" Hound taunted, making Bumblebee giggle.
Optimus shook off his daze as he recognized Bumblebee's childish robotic laughter in the room.
"Bumblebee!" Optimus called out, gaining his teams attention.
"He's alive!" Hound jumped to his peds.
(Optimus!) Bumblebee whirred running over to the cage his father hung in.
Drift pushed Bumblebee off to the side as he sliced down the cage door.
"Hound the arms of this knight ship detach!" Optimus explained to the giant army green mech that walked over. "We can break free, it's a separate ship! Hurry."
Hound crawled into the cage without question. "Where's the cockpit right or left?"
"Right." Optimus gestured with his helm.
"I'm on it boss!"
"Hurry, we have no time!" Optimus called out as Drift cut him down.
While Optimus jumped ont his peds, Bumblebee snuck off, decided he would go make sure the humans were safe and Tessa was found.
"Drift guard the door. Crosshairs, and Bumblebee go find..." Optimus began giving orders before realizing his youngling had disappeared from site. "Where's Bumblebee?" Optimus looked behind the two mechs.
"I don't know, but no time for a search party, we will just have to hope we find him when we secure the ship." Crosshairs shrugged off the question.
"That was not an answer! Take this gunner ship, and go find Bumblebee and the humans now!" Optimus roughly escorted Crosshairs to a small open gunship.
Bumblebee ran down the cooridors, catching up to a vicious pack of Cyber wolves. He silently followed the pack of cyber wolves through a giant running fan blade. Hearing Tessa's scream, along with snarling and shooting, Bumblebee slide his combat mask on and rushed outside shooting the cyber wolves away from chewing apart the anchore cables. The shot wolf yelped, jumping back up to attack Bee, who grabbed the wolf and stabbed him, tossing it's body aside. Another wolf from behind pounced on Bumblebee and bit his the back of his helm, distracting the youngling from the last wolf chewing the cables. Bumblebee stabbed the attacking wolf, then lept for the cut dropping cable. Grabbing hold of the cable, Bumblebee swung under and caught all three humans, cuffing them all against his chest as he smashed into the glass building. Sliding down a few floors. Bumblebee gave a few small robotic yelps of pain, as the glass shredded at some of his exposed wiring. After a few moments of sliding, finally his servo caught something solid for the youngling to be able halt and hang onto.
"You're the best, Bee! You are the best!" Cade turned around to praise Bumblebee's heroic actions.
Bumblebee slide his mask up with a giant smile on his optics. (You damn right! Don't ever forget it.)
Cade then shook Shane who was almost fainting. "You see that, look at me! We're off the ship, right?"
"Bumblebee! Bumblebee! You trouble maker. Enemy ships are coming in hot, get on!" Crosshairs pulled the tiny ship next to Bumblebee.
Bumblebee kept his optics fixed on the sky, as he encouraged the humans to move. (Let's go, Let's go!) Bumblebee held his servo full of humans out infront of the ship. Bumblebee made sure the humans got the seat he was supposed to, so they would stay secure in the coming dog fight.
"Hold onto your knickers I'm punching it!" Bumblebee barely had enough time to jump on as Crosshairs took off, away from the pursuing ships.
Crosshairs did quite a few maneuvers that almost threw Bumblebee's unprepared form off.
"We have three ships pursuing us!" Cade announced.
"I'm giving it the juice!" Crosshairs pushed the ship into full speed, jolting Bumblebee slightly back. "Come on Bee, take them out!" the drop trooper yelled at Bumblebee as the pursuing ships were firing at them.
(I'm getting to it, it's not easy!) Bumblebee warbled, quickly switching his canon to a his grapple, the last upgrade Ratchet gave him before the medic perished. He grappled a deserted boat on the river below and flung it into the enemies pathway, taking only one of three ships out.
"Good move Bee!" Cade cheered from the gunners seat.
"This ones for you A-hole!" Crosshairs shot rockets at a lifted draw bridge flying under it must before the debris fell onto the other two ships.
Bumblebee groaned as three more ships popped up, and Crosshairs crazy piloting was not making it easy for him to shoot and hang on at the same time.
"If you're going to do something, you better do it!" Shane yelled.
"Come on!" Cade agreed.
"Ugh I'm sick of this crap. "Crosshairs was fed up with Bumblebee's inefficiency to shoot the enemy ships. "You fly."
(What!?) Bumblebee jumped as Crosshairs grabbed and tossed him into the pilot seat.
"I shoot!"
(I've only flown once, but I guess I'll just have to wing it!) Bumblebee laughed at his own pun, as he pushed the ship to go faster.
"Wait what do you mean!?"
"Where are you going!?"
Bumblebee heard the humans panicking behind him, looking over his shoulder he saw Crosshairs jumping off the ship. (Wait who's going to shoot!?) Bumblebee panicked. A moment later Bumblebee heard and felt the ships back guns firing, he was relieved the humans figured out the alien weapons.
"Come on he's on us, Bee you got to move!" Cade turned around to see them flying into an underpass tunnel. "Duck!" Cade yelled to Shane and Tessa. "Bee, fire the gun!" Cade screamed at Bumblebee to fire the ships other weapons.
(I got it, I got!) Bumblebee fired at the ship infront of them in the underpass, destroying it. Flying over the fallen on fire footsoldier, Bumblebee gasped as they sped towards the soldiers burning crashed ship blocking the exit. (Uh-oh!) Bumblebee quickly pulled the ship up, smashing through the overpass, crashing and ripping the ship apart.
Bumblebee rode his flaming half of the ship smashing into a beer truck, tumbling across the street. While Cade and the other two humans stayed in the gunner seat smashing through the crashed beer truck, landing on a car.
Bumblebee pushed the crashed ship off of himself, looking up seeing Lockdown's ship flying above them. Just as Lockdown's ship engaged dark matter drive, a small piece of the ship tumbled off, turning right side up, it was a Knight ship. The ship hovered down on the outskirts of the city.
"Alright note to self, don't let you fly don't let you shoot! I'm catching a ride with the team, meet us at this location." Crosshairs came over Bumblebee's comlink.
Bumblebee sighed, transforming, he drove up to the humans and revved his engine. (Alright let's ditch this popsicle stand.) Bumblebee played over his radio.
Bumblebee and the humans finally arrived at an old abandoned train station, where all the Autobots stood by the Knight ship waiting.
"Alright, let's give Bumblebee the good news." Crosshairs sat up from where he lay on an oil tanker. "We got a ship now. We're leaving."
(What?) Bumblebee transformed as the humans walked over to the group. (Optimus is that true?) Bumblebee walked up behind the Prime.
Optimus ignored his younglings question turning to the three humans. "You humans. After all we have done. You don't know what you've wrought upon yourselves." Optimus warned the humans infront of him.
"What? What is it now?" Cade threw his hands up in confusion. "What are you talking about? I mean, I'm doing stuff that's out of my legue here!" Cade voiced his frustration.
"You don't see who's controlling who." Prime challenged Cade. "Within that manmade prototype I fought, I sensed the presance of Megatron." Optimus looked over his shoulder at his son.
Bumblebee lowered his helm, nodding in agreement with his father.
"What the Decepticon that started the Chicago war?" Cade questioned.
"How do you think KSI built those bots in the first place, hmm? They had whole mess of dead Decepticon heads and they were downloading their minds!" Brain's, a tiny little Einstien bot exclaimed to the humans. "And I was in charge of autopsy duty. No union, no benifits, no nothing. They hooked me up to Megatron, and that mind wasn't as dead as they thought. He fed them the science and specs. All so they can build him a brand-new body. Then he infected it with his evil, nasty chromosomes. KSI may have named thebot the snappy name of Galvatron, but that's just Megatron reincarnated!"
"You knew this, and didn't warn them?" Tessa questioned the little mech.
"Little girl, you can go to a pretty dark place when you on death row. He's been playing KSI all this time, all so that he could manipulate them into going after the seed."
"Wait the seed?" Shane finally spoke up.
"Those nasty soldiers that were chasing us. I saw them aboard the ship, and they took something that they called the seed." Tessa mentioned to the group.
"Listen sixty million years ago, give or take an eon..." Hound began.
"Thousands of planets were cyber-formed with seeds. They turned your organic life into our elemental metals. Our creators destroyed your world. To make us." Optimus finished Hounds explination.
"And that's what Galvatron wants to happen again. He wants to detonate that seed in the biggest city and kill millions! He's gonna show the world." "Baby I'm back." Brains hobbled along on the ground.
"The blast wave will incinerate that city into molten metal. He'll have enough to build a massive army and annihilate your species forever." Optimus no longer sugar coated his explinations, as he practically told the humans their coming fate.
"We've gotto get the seed before Galvatron does." Cade said, showing no fear towards stopping the extinction.
(Sound like a plan man!) Bumblebee's radio played, agreeing with Cade.
Optimus sighed, he knew Bumblebee wasn't going to leave the planet without a fight ,if they didn't help the humans somehow. "Go find a place to rest for a moment. We will see what plan we can come up with." Optimus let the humans find a train to rest in.
"I will see if I can tap into satalite communications." Drift said turning to Optimus.
"Relax while you can Autobot's, we may have company soon." Optimus told his Autobots to take a quick breather.
Bumblebee climbed up on top of one of the train oil tankers, sitting behind the working samurai.
Optimus walked up to his sitting youngling and exhaled feeling exhuasted. "You were right about Megatron. I'm sorry you had to see our friends destroyed forms, being melted down in that lab, Bumblebee." Optimus apologized for not comforting his youngling earlier in the KSI building. "Now you see why those humans need to die, not only have they slaughtered us for scientific testing, they're are beginning an age of extinction for themselves."
(It's fine... I get it now...) Bumblebee frowned looking away from the Prime.
"Bumblebee I'm sorry, I shouldn't push the subject so harshly on you." Optimus knelt down to be level, apologizing to his youngling.
(Why, I'm living in it! Why pretend that I'm not going through the same kill humans, and stop the age of extinction, you guys are!) Bumblebee hissed at his father, who threw his helm back in shock. (I may be a little youngling, but I am not blind to war dad! I have seen our family slaughtered before my optics just like you guys! You can't keep trying to cover my optics, from seeing the universes horrors! You don't have to treat me like a sparkling!) Bumblebee was tired of the Optimus trying to shelter and sugar coat everything for him.
"What's going on?" Tessa, Cade, and Shane all stuck there heads around a train cart to see what all the commotion was about.
The other Autobots all turned to the Prime and upset youngling. Optimus noticed them observing out of the corner of his optics, standing straight up sighing in defeat.
Bumblebee was right, but Optimus was not only the younglings leader, he was much more than that and clearly the scout needed to be reminded. "Bumblebee I understand you want me to tell you how it is, like I do with the rest of the team, and let you have less restrictions on missions. But you need to remember that I am also your father, and I just want to protect you. I want you to understand I do my best to respect and make sure I treat you like the youngling you are, and not like just another soldier fighting for his life. As muture as you are, there is still much I do not find appropriate for you. Yes we all hide things sugar coat thing for you. All for you to keep your innocence Bumblebee. You are still a youngling and you need to understand that. End of conversation!"
After Optimus's stern speech to his youngling, it fell completely silent.
Bumblebee was mad that Optimus constantly treated him like a child, he wanted to voice his feelings to his father, but decided to think about it for a while before making another foolish argument.
"We've intercepted the encrypted communications." Drift broke the silence announcing he had intercepted communications. "Joshua Joyce is headed to his factory in Guangzhou, China." Drift announced just as the humans walked over.
"So how fast can that thing get us halfway around the world?" Cade asked.
"Very. It's a spaceship." Drift scoffed.
The sound of a helicopter and sirens drew everyones attention. Bumblebee jumped off the tanker waiting with Hound for the humans to get on the ship. "If we're travelling, now is the time." Hound announced to the observing humans.
Optimus rushed the humans up the ships ramp. "Move! We're retrieving the seed, but then we're done defending the humans." Optimus sounded even more frustrated than he was earier.
Bumblebee followed Tessa up the ramp, hanging his helm low, he knew his little angry out burst further darkened his fathers mood.
"What, done? What do you mean, you're done?" Cade querried in disbelief in the Prime's words.
"Means finished, see ya, good-bye." Crosshairs coldly replied to the humans question.
