Bumblebee knew Prowl wouldn't tell him what he was hiding, though they were friends they weren't that close. Bumblebee didn't want to jump to conclusions that he was doing something REALLY bad, he didn't really know maybe Prowl was just a klepto or he just wanted to borrow it. Even though he was a loner and seemed to have some social 'problems' he definitely didn't seem like the person do something really bad. Not that many Autobots do bad things, they especially didn't go in their leaders office and take something from there. Bumblebee sighed to himself, he was definitely over thinking it, it wasn't even his problem of what Prowl does but still Bumblebee had a bad feeling about this. It was time to snoop.
Luckily Prowl was out with Sari repairing a space bridge, so this left an open invitation to go in his room. Bumblebee made sure no one was watching him and quickly snuck into Prowl's room. The room was a bit empty but it was definitely organized, it would be easy to go through his belongings.
Bumblebee searched all through the cabinets but found nothing other than a couple anonymous contacts, the strange thing was none of them seemed to be an Autobot. Bumblebee quickly shook off this thought, it probably nothing.
Bumblebee decided to check the monitor, he was surprised when he found Prowl didn't have a password. Bumblebee started to look through the files and was shocked to find that there was multiple Decepticon plans in it. This got him really suspicious, but still Bumblebee didn't want to admit that Prowl was doing something bad. He probably was trying to figure out plans or hacked the Decepticons' data, Bumblebee told himself.
As Bumblebee was about to open another file, the door opened, Bumblebee froze in place. As he slowly turned around he saw Prowl facing him with crossed arms and anger showing across his faceplate.
"Hi, Prowl….." Bumblebee said awkwardly. Prowl still seemed not pleased.
"What are you doing in my room?" Prowl asked angrily.
"Uh- I was just looking for you, umm I wanted to see if you were back from repairing the space bridge." Bumblebee lied scratching the back of his helm.
"You are terrible at lying." Prowl said flatly.
"I'm not lying!" Bumblebee told the other bot as he crossed his arms.
"Just get out." Prowl said, pointing to the door.
"Fine…" Bumblebee said walking out of the room. Truthfully he thought he would've been in more trouble. Guess Prowl just didn't want to put up with me today… Bumblebee told himself.
"Bumblebee, what were you doing in Prowl's room?" Sari asked, stopping in front of her best friend.
"I was looking around for clues." Bumblebee said as he started to walk back to his room, Sari followed closely behind.
"Clues? What clues?" Sari asked confused.
"Clues on what Prowl is hiding." Bumblebee said opening the door to his room, they both entered and made themselves comfortable.
"Are you still on that?" Sari said as she sat in a bean bag chair.
"Whatever he's hiding is serious." Bumblebee said as he sat down on his bed. Sari just sighed in response.
"Have you ever thought you might be treading into some really personal business?" Sari asked.
"Oh I know I am, I just don't really care." Bumblebee said with a small laugh, Sari gave him a playful hit. Unlike most of the other crew members, Sari understood most of what Bumblebee did. Most would find his actions just illogical and foolish, but Sari found the pure intelligence and craftiness in them. That's why they were best friends, they were always partners in crime, they told each other everything they were doing even if it was bad.
"So did you find any clues?" Sari asked as she drifted out of her thoughts.
"No, nothing that could give me a positive answer…" Bumblebee lied. He refused to believe his instincts, Prowl wasn't a bad mech.
"Do you need any help with snooping?" Sari asked excitedly.
"No, I can handle it." Bumblebee replied, he had a feeling that this was too serious to involve anyone else in. Anyways, he would rather work alone for this, he felt like it would be easier. Bumblebee was snapped out of his thoughts as his comm. beeped in, it was Optimus. At the moment he was with Rachet and Bulkhead at a space bridge.
:Bumblebee, we may have a problem at the space bridge.: Optimus said, he sounded stressed.
:What type of problem?: Bumblebee asked, he knew whatever it was, it was serious.
:Can't explain right now, just get Sari and Prowl and come.: Optimus said as he ended the comm. link.
"Are they coming?" Bulkhead asked as he knelt down next to the mysterious object.
"Yes, and don't go near that, we don't know what it could do." Optimus told the large mech. Bulkhead quickly stepped away from the object.
"Prime, you do know what this means?" Rachet asked, Optimus looked back at the medic.
"I know what it means, the question is how are we going to stop it from happening?" Optimus asked.
"The thing is we won't. We can't stop the Decepticons from taking it. That's why we have to bring it to Ultra Magnus." Rachet told the leader of the team.
"We won't make a trip that long. The Decepticons will find out we have it. They'll come as fast as they can to take it." Optimus said bitterly. He didn't want to admit it but he couldn't handle this. Optimus was snapped out of his thoughts when Bumblebee sped over, Sari was close behind.
"Where's Prowl?" Optimus asked as he noticed the missing cyberninja.
"I couldn't find him or get ahold of him on his comm." Bumblebee said, Sari was too out of breath from trying to keep up with Bumblebee to speak. The two quickly noticed the mysterious object near Bulkhead, their eyes widened from shock.
"No way…." Sari whispered in shock.
"Is that…" Bumblebee started but was too surprised to finish his sentence.
"The All Spark…" The two whispered at the same time.
"Yes, it is isn't it?" Everyone slowly turned around to find a Decepticon standing right in front of them.
"Slag." Rachet grumbled to himself.
"The name's Nightshadow." The Decepticon said as she started to walk towards the All Spark.
"Do you know how long we've been looking for this?" Nightshadow told the Autobots. Sari noticed Bumblebee's anger and quickly grabbed ahold of him before he could try to attack the Decepticon.
"I really have to thank all of you for leaving us the trouble of finding the All Spark." Nightshadow said kneeling down so that she was face to face with Bumblebee. By now Bulkhead had to come over and help Sari try to restrain Bumblebee from attacking.
"I'll just be leaving with this." Nightshadow said as she went to pick up the All Spark. Bumblebee finally got out of his friends grip and got his stinger out, ready to fire. Right as Nightshadow bent down to pick up the All Spark, Bumblebee hit her with his stinger.
"Like hell you will!" Bumblebee yelled to the Decepticon angrily. Nightshadow slowly got up and turned to Bumblebee.
"You could've just let me take the All Spark and no one would've gotten hurt, but since you want to play dirty, it's on!" Nightshadow said taking out two swords.
"Autobots, attack!" Optimus yelled as everyone got ready to battle.
Nightshadow first started to attack the one who 'started' the battle, she quickly slashed Bumblebee's arm and kicked him back, sending him flying into a boulder. Bulkhead threw one of his wrecking balls hoping to hit the Decepticon, but she kicked it back sending it flying into Rachet causing the old medic to fall over.
Optimus ran over and took a swing with his axe, which Nightshadow quickly dodged. As she went to take a swing on Optimus, he grabbed one of her swords and threw it to the side, out of Nightshadow's reach.
"So you're not a total malfunction like the rest." Nightshadow said kicking Optimus to the ground.
"Too bad you are one of the Autobots, we could've used someone like you." Nightshadow said as she took her left over sword and was about to stab Optimus. Before she could Sari shot Nightshadow with her laser cannon. Nightshadow turned to the younger femme and quickly charged. Sari dodged, but just barely. Nightshadow grumbled a bit to herself and decided to take a new approach; she took out her cannon and locked on to the maroon femme.
Bumblebee opened his optics, he looked over to the Decepticon and saw her take out her cannon, aiming it at Sari. He knew right away what she was planning. Bumblebee got up as fast as he could, he knew that his stingers weren't enough, he looked around to find anything that could help him. He noticed a sword on the ground, and rapidly went over to the sword and picked it up.
"Hey, Decepticreep!" Bumblebee yelled to Nightshadow. Right as Nightshadow turned around she was slashed by the yellow scout. Sari quickly got up and went to help the others.
Sari helped get Optimus, Bulkhead, and Rachet up. They were joined by Bumblebee who had just skidded over to them after being kicked by Nightshadow. They couldn't take this any longer. Nightshadow was going to kill them, but they knew they had a duty to do they couldn't give up, even if it meant sacrificing everything.
