9: Out of His Head!
Minata Namikaze: The disclaimer: I don't own Transformers cause if I did then Bumblebee would be able speak by the Third movie and Hotshot, Red Alert, and Leobreaker would have been added into the movies and the new animations art work wouldn't suck nor do I own the Winx Club and about the only thing that I would change is the Butterflix Seasons outfit and hairstyles as their to similar and thus hint towards laziness. I do, however own, Snowstar Pax, Flamechase, Moonstrike, and the human femme Athena Andromeda. Remember to Read and Review to let me know what you think, but it you don't the twist that I make then stop reading and find something else. Also don't leave a review that's flame or I will block you. Ja ne.
...My Line...
It's been 3 years since Mission City and a good year since Egypt, with Sam back in collage with Mikaela living nearby while Snowstar Pax, who is now the Sparkmate of the Autobot Scout, Bumblebee and the Carrier/Mother of two Sparklings. It's now been 4 since the original 5 members of Team Prime first arrived on Earth behind the Decepticons and since they had formed an alliance with the human government. The Team is station in a bunker that the government has given them in Jasper, Nevada while the rest of the Autobot Team is located in Diego Garcia under the Second-in-Command, Prowl. It isn't long before four human children get involved in their with the 'Cons after the the lost of one of their own. Can Snowstar prove to not just to herself, but the whole Team that she is ready for the title of Prime or well, she fail?

...My Line...
"Followed the light," Ratchet was heard saying a few weeks after Arcee, Bumblebee, and Snowstar got the cure for the Cybonic Plague. The Medic used a flashlight and had it move while Optimus' optic followed it. "Good, good." Ratchet than put the flashlight away. "I wouldn't advice anything strenuous, Optimus, but it appears that your systems have fully recovered from the Cybonic Plague."
The Prime looked down and watched as the arms of the large cylinder moved away from him.
"Thanks to your medical expertise, old friend," he told the medic as he stepped away.
"It was your scout, who braved unknown territory to locate the cure," Ratchet stated as he looked over at where Bumblebee, Arcee, Snowstar, and Athena stood with a smile.
{It wasn't just me} Bumblebee beeped in protest.
"Lucky for us, Megatron was still alive," Arcee added.
This had Bumblebee, the cool colored femme, and the silver haired human girl to look at her in surprise.
{Did you really just say that?} Bumblebee beeped in question.
"Yeah, I actually said that," was her answer.
"What in the pit?" Snowstar asked in surprise.
Athena leaned in close to her guardians audio raptors while looking at Arcee like she was just seeing her for the first time.
"Ok, who is she and what has she done with Arcee?" the green eyed teen asked her quietly.
That question got a snort from both Bumblebee and Snowstar while Arcee glared at her. Optimus and Ratchet watched the scene in front of them in amusement though they were just as surprise.
"What matters is that you are the mend, Optimus," Ratchet told him. "While Megatron..."
{Yeah, Arcee blew off Megatron's life support} Bumblebee beeped.
"Bee's right," the blue femme answered. "I did my best to finish Megatron's story." She walked forward a bit while Bumblebee walked out of the command center. "Just could stick around long enough to see how it ended."
The young Andromeda let out a sigh before both her and Snowstar left as it was getting late.
...My Line...
The next day, one could find her with the three other humans watching Bumblebee and Bulkhead, who were playing an Earth game while Chromia and Ironhide stood nearby watching after they got back from scouting out energon.
"Basketball by way of Cybertron," Miko said. "Let the games begin!"
She than blew a whistle and the two 'bots started to play with Raf cheering for Bumblebee while Athena kept quiet as she watched. Bumblebee tried to shot the ball into the basket, but Bulkhead got it and threw it in.
"Yeah!" cheered Miko. "Go Bulk!"
The young Andromeda cackled just as the ball rolled towards Bulkhead and he turned to Bumblebee after he picked it up.
"Come on best two out of three," the wrecker told him.
Bulkhead threw the ball to Bumblebee, who caught, before he started to run to the net.
"Bee, you're in the clear!" Raf cheered. "Dunk it, Bee!"
Athena narrowed her eyes as she watched as Bumblebee came to a stop all of a suddenly and stood there for a few seconds.
"Bumblebee, quite hogging the ball," Bulkhead told him.
Green eyes widen when Bumblebee turned around and threw the ball at Bulkhead which was to strange even for her plus it was seem that she was the only one that thought so as Miko blew the whistle again. Even Chromia and Ironhide looked confused about Bumblebee's behavior.
"Eh, flagrant foul!" she stated.
"Dodge ball by way of Cybertron," Jack joked.
"Bee, hoop's over there," the wrecker told him as he pointed at said hoop.
{Oh, oops sorry, Bulkhead} he beeped as he looked at it and then back the 'bot next to him.
"Bee, you ok?" Raf asked.
{Yes, I am} the scout beeped in answer before holding up three digits. {Three out of five?}
"Uh, three out of five," Raf agreed with a small smile.
The metallic haired 17-year-old turned around and walked away from them wondering what was up with Bumblebee.
...My Line...
The very next day, Athena decided to take her motorcycle cause she knew that her host parents were a bit worried about her not using it expect for when she has to go to work and so to appraise them, she was using it. However, right now, she pulled up to the curb in front of Raf and his house as the young boy had called her after calling Jack to let her know that he need someone to pick him up. She was surprised that Bumblebee didn't pick him up as he was Raf's guardian and so after he got on the back with a helmet on, she took off for the base so they could see what was up with the scout.
...My Line...
However, at that moment Bumblebee could be seen walking into the control room and he walked over to where a table with a Cybertronian flashlight was setting. Before picking it up looking at it and then he crushed it in his hand just as Ratchet into the room.
"Bumblebee!" the medic yelled making Bumblebee to jump before he looked over at him. "I needed that!"
{What?} Bumblebee beeped.
"What has gotten into you?" Ratchet asked him.
{I...don't know, but I keep seeing Megatron's face} Bumblebee beeped in answer.
"You're seeing Megatron's face?" asked Ratchet in shock. "Maybe you need a power down."
Bumblebee nodded his helm before they heard the sounds of a motorcycle and turned to see that the motorcycle had two passengers on it. Once it vehicle pulled to stop, the two riders took off their helmets to show that they were Athena and Raf.
"What's going on?" Raf asked as he got off the motorcycle.
It was than that Ironhide, Chromia, Jazz, Optimus, and Snowstar walked into the command center as Ratchet helped Bumblebee to do a power down to rest his mind.
"Bumblebee's complaining of intermittent visions, waking nightmares, if you will," Ratchet explained.
"But, you said Bee was fine when you checked him over," Raf stated.
"Physically, but the experience he endured seems to be having a temporary effect on his psyche," Ratchet explained. "This induced power-down should force Bumblebee's mind to rest and recover."
Snowstar walked up to her mate and gently touched his faceplate before looking over her shoulder when a servo landed on it. Her azure blue optics meet those of her Sire's, who gave her a reassuring look, just as they heard a beeping coming from the main computer making them to turn around and over to it where Fowler's face appeared.
"Prime!"
'What is it this time?' Athena thought with a raised eyebrow.
"You spot any Decepticons wearing hula skirts lately?"
"No, Special Agent Fowler," Optimus answered with a raised optic ridge, but he wasn't the only one. "Why?"
"Cause I was hoping you'd have a lead on the 'cons that busted into the Kauai Naval Observatory," the Agent told him. "The place looked like it was hit by an army of wrecking balls."
"Why would 'Cons break into an observatory?" Arcee asked, who had came in not to long ago.
"Does the Hoit-Nikogosian ring any balls?"
"The space telescope?" Raf asked as he moved closer to the 'bots.
"As of last night, missing its primary lens," Fowler told them.
"It's difficult to guess Starscream's intent without knowing where the lens has been taken," Optimus informed him.
"Good thing the lens has a tracking device," Fowler deadpan.
"The Arctic?" asked Arcee. "Great another chance to freeze our spark plugs off."
"Oh joy," Jazz agreed.
"And what I am?" Snowstar asked as she placed her servos on her hips. "As the humans say, chopped liver?"
Jazz cackled in amusement as Arcee looked sheepish while Bulkhead whistled.
"That's a ND-7 class," he stated. "Biggest unmineable Energon deposit there is."
"Unmineable until Starscream melts his way down to it," Optimus stated as he looked at Bulkhead.
"With the help of the lens," Arcee added.
"Melting a glacier that size would cause sea levels to rise and demolish coastal cities," Fowler stated.
Optimus looked at the screen for a bit before he turned to his team.
"Autobots!" he called. "Roll out!"
The team all transformed down as Ratchet activated the ground bridge and they went on through it leaving only Raf, Athena, Snowstar, and Ratchet.
"So, I blow past the finish line than my other Sister Pollara asked how I got so good at racing games," Raf was telling as he and Snowstar sat beside Bumblebee's ped while Athena stood nearby. "And I told her that I know a guy, who know cars."
"Rafael," Ratchet called out as he walked up. "I'm afraid that Bumblebee can't hear you in power-down mode. It's getting late." He looked over to where Athena stood. "Why don't I bridge you two home to your families?"
"Because I told Bee that I'd stay," Raf told him. "He's family, too."
"And Athena's family live in Greece, Ratchet," Snowstar deadpan.
"Don't be ridiculous, you're not even the same species," Ratchet stated.
"That's being related," Raf told him. "It's not the same thing." Raf than reached into his pocket. "Here I'll show you." He than pulled out his phone, looked something up, and then held it up to Ratchet. "This is my family."
"Mm-hmm," Ratchet nodded. "It's very nice."
This had Athena raising an eyebrow at him while the Hybrid shook her head.
"Very large," Raf stated. "Sometimes I can shout and no one hears me."
"Yes, yes, yes, yes," Ratchet mumbled making the young Andromeda to face palm along with.
"But, Bumblebee always listens," Raf went on making Ratchet to stop and look at him. "And I can understand him." The young boy looked up at the 'bot. "I'm not sure why, but I do."
"There are different types of families Ratchet," Athena spoke up making Ratchet to look at her as she walked closer. "There's the families, who are related by blood, and then there are families, who are only related to each other through adoption." She than looked down. "Like my family." This got a gasp from Raf and Ratchet. "My parents are not my birth parents. They found me when I was a year old with Cyberwing acting as a guard and that's all I know."
"She's right Ratchet," Snowstar second with a nod. "I mean, the Witwicky family treated me like I was their daughter in blood even though they adopted me."
Ratchet looked at them in though before he went back to work as Raf had his laptop with him and sat on the floor.
...My Line...
"It's not like our last Polar visit," Arcee stated as the four 'bots were walking. "Feels like summer."
Bulkhead was the first to look around the corner than Ironhide, Chromia, Optimus, Jazz, and Arcee.
"Here that's a bad thing," Bulkhead told her as they watched the 'Cons burn through the ice.
"Autobots," Optimus spoke making them to look up at him. "Do you remember the Battle of Polyhex?"
...My Line...
"Rafael, Athena," Ratchet called making the two of them look up at him. "I'm going to the supply vault to see if I can find parts to repair this." Athena rolled her eyes knowing what was going next. "You know what that means?"
"Don't touch anything," both Raf and the silver haired teen answered.
"Make sure that they don't do anything Snowstar," Ratchet ordered before he than walked away from them while they continued to stand their spots.
"Wait till you see this new laptop I'm saving up for, Bumblebee," Raf told him before the two looked up as sounds of something shutting off was heard. "Bee."
"WHAT THE PIT!" the young Andromeda yelled as Bumblebee started to move towards the ground bridge controls.
"Bumblebee?" his mate asked softly in surprise. "Sweetspark? What are you doing?"
"Bumblebee, wait!" Raf cried out as he ran after him while Athena moved to grab her handguns just as the Scout opened the bridge and walked through. "Bumblebee!"
It was than that Ratchet came back.
"What did you two do?" he asked.
"N-nothing!" Raf answered while Athena glared at him from where she stood loading two color coded megs into her two handguns.
"They did nothing, Ratchet," Snowstar answered as she turned to him. "Bumblebee just got up and..."
"He was in power-down," Ratchet reminded her before looking at the bridge. "Where does he thinks he's off to?" When the bridge shut down and the kids with along with Snowstar watched as Ratchet went to see where he went while Athena tucked her handguns into them making sure that they were hidden by her v-neck black tank top. "These are the coordinates for the site of our previous battle with Megatron's undead."
"M-maybe we should call Optimus," Raf suggested.
"Optimus is busy preventing a polar ice cap from melting," he said as he grabbed the controls of the ground bridge before looking down.
"What about Ironhide and Chromia?" Snowstar asked him.
"Their out on patrol at the moment and won't be back for an hour or two," Ratchet answered. "We need to handle this on our own." Ratchet opened up the bridge again and turned only to find Bumblebee returning. "Bumblebee?" Athena glared as the scout moved closer to them with something in his servo while Snowstar looked worried. "What have you been doing?" The medic seeing this grabbed his arm making him show that the scout was holding a purple crystal. "Dark Energon?"
Than to their shock Bumblebee punched Ratchet in the faceplate pushing him towards Raf and Athena.
"Bumblebee, Darling?" Snowstar asked gently as she walked up to him. "Why do you have Dark Energon for?"
The scout looked at her for a bit before he also punched her sending the young Pax into Ratchet making the two humans to gasp in shock.
"What the pit, Bumblebee?" Athena asked with a growl making the scout to look over at her. "You just hit your Sparkmate!"
"Bee, what are you going?" Raf asked, however, Bumblebee walked over to them where he grabbed Raf and Athena than entered a new location into the controls before he moved to put Raf down somewhere else. "Bumblebee, please! I know you're in there!" The scout put him down and moved towards the bridge while still holding the young Andromeda. "You have to fight whatever's making you do this!"
Bumblebee just ignored him and ran towards the bridge and disappearing before the bridge powered down.
...My Line...
The group of 4 Autobots sped over the ice cap before Breakdown landed near them making them stop and transformed.
...My Line...
"Ratchet, Snowstar, are you two okay?" Raf asked.
"I'm alright," Snowstar answered him as she got up.
"I'm fine," Ratchet added. "More importantly, is Bumblebee?" The young Pax looked over at him. "I fear the time spent in Megatron's mindscape is causing him to think like a Decepticon."
"Bumblebee is not a 'Con," the light colored femme growled at. "And even if he is than he wouldn't have been able to lay a hand on me." She poked Ratchet in the chest plates. "No 'Con would have been able to harm their mate. It goes against ones coding."
"Agreed," Ratchet second as he laid his servo down for Raf. "But, we need to find out exactly what Bumblebee intends to do with that shard." He than moved towards Snowstar before something came to him. "The only one, who knew of the Dark Energon...was Megatron."
"I'm sorry?" the young Pax asked.
"Bumblebee has Megatron's memories?" Raf asked.
"Worse," Ratchet answered as he looked at him. "Megatron is occupying Bumblebee's mind."
"Say what now?"
"What?"
"How could I have been such a fool?" Ratchet asked himself as he put Raf down. "The Cortical Psychic Patch acted as a two-way conduit. When Bumblebee returned to his own mind, Megatron followed." Ratchet than looked at the location. "And now Bumblebee...Megatron...has bridged to nearly the same coordinates Optimus used."
"Oh, my poor sweet Bumblebee," Snowstar sighed.
"Bumblebee?" Athena asked as she struggled in his grip though she had seen him take down the 'Cons on the ship. "Let me go!"
However, she could only watch as Bumblebee walked into the med. bay of the Decepticon Warship and hook up the patch to his own helm before hooking the other end up to Megatron's. It than that she caught sight of Ratchet looking in on them before the medic charged at him.
"Ratchet, don't hurt Bumblebee!" Raf and Snowstar called out.
"That's not Bumblebee!" Ratchet replied.
'What?' the young silver haired girl thought before she looked at the patch and then at Megatron before a look of under came to her face. 'Megatron is inside of Bumblebee's mind.' She looked back as she felt 'Bumblebee' dodge Ratchet when he tried to attack before hitting him cause him to go flying. "RATCHET!" She started to struggle even more against the hold. "Megatron, you damn 'Con! Let me go!"
"Bumblebee no!" Raf cried as he ran to the scout's body as he grabbed the dark energon shard and was about to head for the head 'Con's body. "Remember who you are!" 'Bumblebee' looked at him. "Remember me! I know you always listen to me, no matter what!"
"Bumblebee, sweetspark," Snowstar joined in. "It's me, your sparkmate."
They watched as the scout fought for control.
{Raf and Snowstar...that you?}
"That's right, Bee," he answered. "It's me."
"Sweetspark?"
The young Andromeda could only watch as eternal fight started before Bumblebee fell over dropping her to the ground. Raf grabbed his arm, but it seemed that Megatron won the fight and knocked Raf away before he turned back to see Ratchet grab the life support cable ignoring Athena for the moment.
"Farewell, Megatron," he said before pulling it off.
However, Megatron grabbed Ratchet and threw him away towards were Raf was before he grabbed the young Pax next and then threw her away form him.
"BUMBLEBEE!"
"BEE!"
'Bumblebee' stopped for a moment turned to the young boy and the light colored 'bot while looking at the Dark Energon shard making Raf and Snowstar to look at it and then at him.
"Bumblebee can't hear you anymore!" Megatron replied to them instead.
"As much as I want you to leave Bumblebee's body, I can't let you go back to your own!" Raf cried as he ran over and grabbed the cord.
"RAF!" the guardian and charge yelled as the young boy was knocked off the cord.
All the two of them could do was watch as Megatron moved to his body and than shoved the shard into his spark chamber. Than the 17-year-old girl, Raf, Snowstar and Ratchet watched as Megatron opened his optics before getting off of the lab berth making them all backed away from the Warlord as a few troops ran in only to come to a stop seeing that their master was awake once again.
"Decepticons, your rightful lord and master has returned," Megatron stated before he walked past them before locking narrow optics to with the scout. "Finish these pests! I have my own extermination to perform!" The Warlord than looked at the silver haired teen, who quickly moved over to Ratchet, before he walked past them. "And bring me the techno-organic girl unharmed."
"What?" Raf, Athena, Snowstar and Ratchet asked at the same time.
The young boy, Snowstar, and Ratchet looked at the young silver haired girl, who looked just as surprise as them. However, they had no choice, but dodge as the 'Cons opened fire on them with Bumblebee returning the favor before joining them.
...My Line...
Arcee was the first to attack before Jazz joined in. The femme was the first to reach Breakdown while Jazz transformed his arm into a cannon and opened fire while her got up and personal, but he threw away, however, she was able to land on her feet. But, the two of them were tossed aside as well though they managed to stay on their standing while Ironhide and Chromia tried their servo at attacking the 'Con only they used their cannons away from him, but Breakdown sent them to the ground with his own cannon before he went for Bulkhead.
"I going to put you on ice," he laughed just before his hammer and Bulkhead's club hit against each other.
To all of their surprise a shock wave from the destroyed machine and lens that sent all of them flying. The Autobots all got up to see that their Leader was down.
"Optimus," Arcee breathed in shock.
They all looked up as the sounds of an engine could be heard to see Starscream coming at the Prime.
"Megatron's greatest mistake was ever allowing you to live PRIME!" they heard him growl as he got ready to fire only to be hit by a bigger jet.
"Megatron," Optimus growled.
"He's back," breathed Arcee in shock.
They all watched as the warship started to leave as Optimus got up with Stormhide standing slightly behind him.
"Ratchet, we need a bridge," the Prime said over the comm.
"You are not the only ones," they heard Ratchet say as Bumblebee, Snowstar, the medic, and the two humans came up to them.
Optimus moved to check on his Sparkling to make sure that she was alright before he called Agent Fowler for help in getting back to base.
...My Line...
Bumblebee looked around before he lifted his arm as the arms of the large cylinder moved away from him.
"Everythings back to normal," Ratchet informed them.
{Define normal?} Bumblebee buzzed.
"Well, normal for Bumblebee," Ratchet corrected.
Bumblebee than bent down and buzzed at Raf.
"Its ok," Raf told him before the Scout buzzed again. "Of course, I was." The yellow and black 'bot buzzed fora third time. "I know."
Athena smiled as she watched them as Miko walked up to them.
"So, what he say?" she asked.
"He said thanks," Raf answered with a smile.
"Now that I know that Bumblebee is alright," Ratchet spoke up before he turned to the silver haired girl. "Athena, can you come here?"
"What?" Jazz asked as he looked at the medic in worry. "Is she hurt?"
The white and orange 'bot shook his head.
"No, but Megatron said something that me worried," he answered.
"What did he say?" Optimus asked.
"He called her a techno-organic," was the answer the Prime got.
"A techno-organic?" everyone asked.
Jack walked forward as Athena stepped into Ratchet's servo allowing him to run a scan of her.
"What's a techno-organic?" he asked.
Arcee was the one to answer that.
"A techno-organic is someone, who is half Cybertronian and half organic," she informed him and the other two humans. "Kinda like Snowstar and Skystorm only they can take either a Cybertronian form or an organic one." She than looked over at Ratchet. "But, Ratchet, you did a scan of the humans when arrived here and her scan came back as her being human...completely human."
After the scan, Ratchet handed the blue haired teen over to Stormhide, who looked worried for her safety even more. The Autobot medic looked over the data and double checked it to make sure that it was right.
"She's not a techno-organic," he informed.
"Than why did Megatron..."
"You didn't let me finish youngling," Ratchet interrupted Snowstar. "Our young Athena is full Cybertronian, but how she appears human...I do not know."
"A FULL CYBERTRONIAN?!" they all yelled in shock.
The silver haired 17-year-old looked at him in even more shock than the others though it was Optimus, who put the clues together.
"Snowstar, do you mind if I speak to Athena?" he asked.
The winter green and icy blue Autobot nodded his helm after a moment of thought before handing her over to his leader. They all than watched as the Prime walked off with Athena figuring that he wanted to talk to her alone and away from praying ears.
