"Bumblebee we need you to use your speed to get the All Spark out of here!" Optimus told the scout as he shot another missle at Nightshadow. They were finally starting to do some damage on her, but to be safe the All Spark had to be brought back to the base.
"Ok, bossbot! Want me to try to contact Prowl again?" Bumblebee asked.
"Doesn't matter as long as you get out!" Optimus yelled. Bumblebee just nodded and got the All Spark. Nightshadow quickly noticed and was about to go after him when she was hit by Bulkhead's wrecking ball.
"Don't worry buddy, we'll cover you." Bulkhead said as Bumblebee sped off.
:Prowl, are you there?: Bumblebee asked on comm. hoping the cyberninja would respond.
:Yeah, what's going on?: Prowl asked, Bumblebee let out a sigh of relief.
:We found the All Spark, got our afts kicked by a Decepticon named Nightshadow, and now I'm trying to get the hell away from her while everyone else is trying to keep her away so she doesn't get the All Spark.: Bumblebee replied in one breath as he took a sharp corner hoping to get Nightshadow off his tail. He definitely wasn't going to go back to the base until he lost the Decepticons.
:I'll be there to help as fast as I can.: Prowl said ending the comm. Bumblebee just hoped Prowl got there soon.
Prowl didn't know why he was so angry by the fact that Nightshadow was hurting the small Autobot crew. He was a Decepticon there was no reason to care about a couple of Autobots. He knew he had to help them, luckily it would be easy he would just have to contact Nightshadow and work out a deal.
:Nightshadow, come in Nightshadow.: Prowl said over comm.
:Prowl? What is it I'm a bit busy right now.: Nightshadow said to the cyberninja.
:I need you to stand down. Don't attack the crew anymore, just leave them alone.: Prowl said hoping that she would listen.
:Why should I? They have the All Spark!: Nightshadow said angrily. Prowl let out a sigh of annoyance.
:I can make a deal with you, we can meet in the alley so that no one else is around. Just leave them alone.: Prowl said.
:Fine, but I don't understand why you care so much about them.: Nightshadow said as she ended the comm.
Prowl quickly left the base and went to find Bumblebee. Prowl had only been searching for a couple moments when Bumblebee zoomed by, the rest wasn't too far behind. Everyone quickly stopped and transformed when they reached Prowl.
"What happened?" Prowl asked. Everyone was out of breath, barely able to talk.
"The Decepticon…. She stopped following us…" Bumblebee said holding the All Spark.
"Well you all were pretty lucky weren't you?" Prowl asked with a smile on his face. He was happy he stopped them from getting too damaged.
"I guess we were…" Bumblebee said, getting his breath back.
"Quick we have to get the All Spark back to the base before any more Decepticons come to get it." Optimus told the crew, everyone gave a small exhausted nod and started to head back to the base.
Prowl sneaked out of the base, he had to go meet Nightshadow in the alley. Prowl had been thinking of the deal he would make with Nightshadow, and he finally thought he came up with the perfect plan. He would get the Decepticons what they want only if they promised not to harm the team. Little did the cyberninja know, he was being followed by a certain yellow mech.
Prowl transformed once he reached the alley, when he saw Nightshadow he slowly walked over making sure there was no one spying on them. When the cyberninja turned around to face Nightshadow, Bumblebee peaked around the corner of the alley to watch what was going on. The yellow mech gave a small gasp when he noticed that the person Prowl was meeting was the Decepticon they faced earlier.
"Finally you showed up." Nightshadow said somewhat irritated. Bumblebee was trying to come up with possible answers for why Prowl was meeting with Nightshadow.
"Can't you just not harm them anymore? This is my 'team.'" Prowl said angrily.
"You're turning into one of them Prowl. You need to remember you're a Decepticon." Nightshadow said.
Bumblebee let out another gasp, he couldn't believe this, Prowl is a Decepticon. All this time he had been trying to push away the idea, telling himself it couldn't be true, but his instinct was right, Prowl was one of them. Tears started to form in his optics, he didn't know why the fact that Prowl was one of them stung so much, but it did. Bumblebee no longer cared to listen to what the two were talking about. He knew he couldn't confront Prowl while there was a Decepticon, that wouldn't hesitate to kill him, around. Bumblebee zoomed away going back to the base, he could wait there to confront the cyberninja. Meanwhile Nightshadow and Prowl continued their conversation.
"I don't care what you think, I just need to make a deal with you." Prowl told the femme, as he avoided optic contact.
"What are the terms?" Nightshadow asked flatly, truthfully she didn't want to wait to get the All Spark.
"I will get you what you want and in return you'll leave the team alone." Prowl said, crossing his arms.
"Alright, but if you're too slow, I won't hesitate to attack your 'precious' team. Prowl grumbled to himself, this was just going to make it harder.
"Fine." The cyberninja said as he shook Nightshadows servo.
Prowl grumbled to himself as he heard a knock at his door. He had just came back from meeting with Nightshadow and couldn't get a moment of peace to himself.
"What?" Prowl asked angrily, he turned around to see Bumblebee come in. The yellow mech's face plate for once showed no sign of happiness, just a serious and concerned expression remained.
"Prowl we need to talk…" Bumblebee said to the older mech. Prowl was getting a little suspricious.
"You've been acting pretty weird lately…." Bumblebee stated, Prowl right away started getting defensive.
"I'm fine." Prowl told the younger bot, Bumblebee just crossed his arms.
"It's about the Deceptitcons isn't it?" Bumblebee asked, Prowl didn't want Bumblebee getting involved in all this. He didn't want anyone involved in this…
"It's nothing, Bumblebee!" Prowl told the younger bot, as much as he didn't want to yell, he knew it was the only way to try and get Bumblebee to go away.
"It is something!" Bumblebee yelled angrily to Prowl, the yellow mech was too stubborn to give up. Prowl realized at this moment that the yellow mech.
"You knew her, the Decepticon…. She in fact is your leader's bondmate." Prowl was too shocked to reply at Bumblebee's comment. He never guessed that out of all the bots to find out, it would be Bumblebee.
"Prowl I know… I know you're one of them…. I know you're a Decepticon." Bumblebee said looking away from the older mech. Prowl was surprised to see pain written across the yellow mech's faceplate. Prowl's spark sank at this observation, he lowered his head down in shame.
"I didn't want you to find out like this…." Prowl whispered not looking Bumblebee in the faceplate.
"So what you had a plan on telling me!" Bumblebee yelled. Prowl realized at this point he had let the Autobot crew get too close to him, especially Bumblebee. Prowl didn't want to do what he was going to do next, but he knew he had to, to keep them all safe.
"Why do you even care? It's not like we're friends or anything!" Prowl said bitterly.
"Prowl…." Bumblebee whispered, hurt and confused.
"Do you even think I wanted to go on this mission?" Prowl asked flatly, he hated every single word that came out of his mouth.
"I-I thought you cared about us…" Bumblebee said, it was painfully obvious how hurt he was. Prowl had to look away to keep himself going on with the lies.
"You guys are just a group of malfunctions to me." Prowl muttered. He wished it was true, he wished that he didn't care for them, he wished it didn't pain him so much to say these lies.
"You're just like the rest of them." Bumblebee said. Prowl quickly looked to see the yellow mech, angry and hurt.
"Like them you're a deceiving bastard!" Bumblebee angrily told Prowl, tears forming up in his optics.
"Do you even realize all the things the Decepticons did?" Bumblebee asked sadly.
"Bumblebee, as much as you don't want to admit it the Autobots aren't that innocent either!" Prowl yelled angrily. He wasn't angry at Bumblebee, he was angrier at himself. Prowl was angry by the fact he no longer felt loyal to the Decepticons, he just felt numb, unsure what to do or what to choose.
"You know what, I'm glad we aren't friends because you're just a big jerk!" Bumblebee yelled leaving the room, truthfully Prowl had no clue where Bumblebee went after that, he had a feeling it wasn't anywhere in the base.
"One day you'll understand, Bumblebee…." Prowl said numbly.
"I can't believe him! How could he do this to us?" Bumblebee asked himself, oil tears running down his face. He thought Prowl was his friend, he thought Prowl cared about him. Bumblebee felt numb as he let go of the friendship he thought he had with Prowl. It was hard to lose something you had, but even harder to lose something you thought you had. Prowl was just one big lie, he wasn't what Bumblebee thought he was at all.
"Guess you can't trust anyone…" Bumblebee said to himself as he walked into something.
"What the…." A voice started to say. Once Bumblebee looked up he knew he was in trouble. It was Starscream, Megatron's right hand mech.
"Oh Nightshadow, I think I've found something that may get Prowl to hurry up with the All Spark." Starscream said in a sing song voice, a devious smirk forming on his face plate. Bumblebee's optics widened, the Decepticon's were going to steal the All Spark. Bumblebee got up and was about to run off when Starscream grabbed his throat, destroying any chance of escape.
"You're not going anywhere!" Starscream said with a small laugh.
"Slag." Bumblebee said, realizing he made a big mistake in leaving the base.
