Cliffjumper's POV

"What's going on?" I ask when I see a bunch of men in a line. Ultra Magnus turns around to me and responds: "We are going to spy on the Hunters. We have spotted them nearby but with mutants on their side." I open my mouth slightly in suprise and studder. "Wha'? How-how do they look? Was it a lady with black hair and spider legs with them?" I wonder paniced.

"I can't be sure but I thought I saw what you described.." Ratchet answers. I sight, Arcee can't know about this. I can't let her emotions control her actions. "So when are we going?"

Optimus walks towards us and says that we will depart right now. "Bumblebee, Cliffjumper you take the east side. Me and Ratchet takes the west side, Bulk and Wheeljack the south. And Ultra Magnus takes the north side."

We nod and walks out from the secret village. In the tunnel I hear someone running towards us and I see Arcee. "Cliff where are you going?" She wonders worried. "Relax 'Cee it's just a scouting mission!" I turn to Bee and begs him to follow my lead. "Ah...yeah. Scouting mission.."

"Just be careful.." She says to both of us. Arcee then thanks Bumblebee for saving her one time in the FireWood Village. Bee stares at her suprised, he knew she was fimillar. "Was that you?" He asks sadly when he remembers the girl hanging in chains. Arcee looks down at the ground and walks away from us. "So that mutant you asked about. Is that the same one that hurt her?" Bee wonders and looks at me. I nod slowly. "Oh.." He says.

...

Me and Bee decided to split up and cover as much ground as possible. As far as now, both of us found nothing...

But suddenly I hear voices and sneaks behind a bush. I peak out a little and see a couple of men. No, Wait!...just one. It's someone who can replicate himself. I call them Vehicons, they are not a big treath but they can be dangerous when they're many. "Hey! A spy!" Someone kicks me out of the bush and start beating me up.

I hit my head in him hard and his bones crack. More of the Vehicons jumps on me and I try to fight them but they circle around me and kicks me around. A blurr flashes through and the men are knocked out on the ground. Bumblebee is over me and lends a hand to help me up. "I don't want Arcee to think it's my fual that you got hurt" He smirks.

I like this kid! But we haven't time for fun and games. "Bee, you need to get our people to saftey. They are really close to our hideout and we can't stay there forever.." He stares at me confused. "But what about you?"

"I need to hold them off, I'm coming after you soon!" I responds and starts to run. Bee takes hold on my wrists and forces me to face him. "Promise?" He asks worried. I force a smile and takes hold on his shoulder. "Keep Arcee from trouble for me, ok?"

Bumblebee's POV

I see him running away from the camp with the Vehicons after him and I watch Cliff with a bad feeling in my gut. He didn't promise...

But i can't let that distract me, I need to get everyone to saftey. Fast as I can I find Optimus and the others and explain what we need to do. They go into the village to get everyone to evacuate and the people hurries away in a secret exit. We need to split up, that way it's harder to be caught. "Where is Cliff?" Arcee wonders angrily, trying to hide her worry.

"He ran after the enemy.." I explain. "Alone?!' She yells, what a stupid, recless thing to do! "I'm not leaving without him!" She cries out with tears in her eyes. I nod in understanding and we takes of to find Cliffjumper. We are almost out from the cave that hides our village and Arcee sees Cliff running towards us. I hear people running after him, we don't have much time! Cliff breathes heavily and he limps when he runs. "Hurry!" Arcee yells.

Cliff stares at us and then at the cave. He closes his eyes and then opens them again. "Get her out of here!" I shake my head in denial. "You promised!" I yell back.

"I'm sorry!" He says to both of us but mostly Arcee when he slams his head into the side of the cave. The cave rages in and Cliff remains on the other side. Arcee slams her fist at the blocked entrance and sobs. "We can't..we can't leave him. I cant leave him!"

"Guys we need to go!" Smokescreen shouts to us. Only some of the mutans where left and waited for us, we would stick togheter from now on. I whispers to Arcee and tries my best to make her stand up. Cliffjumper would want her to go on. "If we go, mabey we have time to save him.."

She nods and hurries away. We are now on the run again...

Scattered.

Starscream's POV

"Commander Starscream. We found a mutant spying on us, he is probably with Optimus." A vehicon says and drags him over. "Don't tell me things I can figure out on my own!" I hiss. Of course he is with this Optimus. I can see it on him. "Well spit it out! Tell me where Optimus is! And I may consider letting you live..."

"Do your worse!" He growls and stares angrily at me. "I won't tell you anything!" I smirk, soon it will be another tone from his mouth. I stare into his eyes and whispers to him, trying to get into his head. "Bang your head against the wall.." Cliffjumper groans, with his injuries and sore head it's a challenge resisting my command.

He stands up and hits his head into the wall. "Again!" I repeat. Cliffjumper breathes heavily but he can't stop himself. "Now finish it!" I yell and he nervously takes hold on the wall. But Cliffjumper stands proud and turns around instead of listning to me. "No!"

"Fool, you will do as I say!" I growl. Cliffjumper shakes his head. "You aren't strong enough!" He says. "You're no Megatron!" I hiss and furiosly stab him in the heart. Cliffjumper falls on the ground and I sight. "Clean this up!"

Arcee's POV

I run as fast as I can to the last time I saw Cliffjumper but I only find his cowboy hat. With some blood on it. "No.." I whisper. Bee comes up to me and lays a hand on my shoulder. "If I could spare his life...and trade his life for mine. I would.." He saw how much they cared for each other

"He would stand here by your side, and you would smile..." I shake my head. I wouldn't be smile for loosing anyone to the enemy. Tears stream down my face and I cry into the cowboy hat with only one thought in my mind. "I will take revenge on the one who did this to you!"
