Chapter 11
A/N: I don't own TFP or Frozen.
Bumblebee woke up in a dark room, which wasn't very unusual for him, but instead of laying on a bed he was forced to remain standing from the cuffs holding his hands above him. Noticing a window he looked out to see a blizzard going on and everything was getting darker. "Primus…what have I done?" the sound of a door opening caught his attention, and he saw the two Iacon kings walk in. "Why did you bring me here?!"
"We couldn't just let them kill you," Optimus said.
"But I'm a danger to everyone here! Get Dawnfire!" 'Bee commanded.
"Dawnfire hasn't returned," Megatron said, noticing the fear return to the boy's eyes. "If you would just stop this, stop the winter night, please."
"I'm so sorry," 'Bee said sadly, "but I can't. I don't know how. Please let me go."
"We'll do what we can," Optimus said sympathetically as they left.
'Bee sighed looking down, but looked back up as the sound of freezing metal caught his attention. Staring at his cuffs he saw ice start to bloom in flake-like designs along them. Maybe he wouldn't need help to get free."
-.-
Skylinx and Darksteel were sprinting as fast as they could through the thick snow; their riders holding on tight. Smokescreen looked at Dawnfire, seeing a few more strands of her hair change color he put his cap on her head. "Hang on a bit longer!" he said to her as they rode into town.
Predaking was flying next to them, when a gust of wind blew him off course. "Oh boy!" he said as he began flying towards the main square. "I'll meet you all at the castle!"
"Stay out of sight Predaking!" Arcee yelled.
"Don't tell me what to do!" the small shadowcon yelled. "Hi there!"
"AHHHH! IT'S ALIVE!"
The two predacons finally broke out of the snow onto the slightly icy path leading to the palace. "It's Prince and Princesses!" a guard shouted from the wall, causing the gates to start opening immediately.
Darksteel and Skylinx stopped as the royals dismounted. Smokescreen carefully dismounted holding a shivering Dawnfire in his arms. "A-are y-you two gonna be ok?" the freezing princess asked Smokescreen.
"Don't worry about us Dawn," Arcee said.
"Dawnfire! Moonrose! Barricade!" Optimus said relieved as he, Megatron, and Soundwave ran up, a few servants racing after. "You three had us worried sick!"
"Get her warm," Barricade ordered. "And find Prince Knockout at once!"
"Yes sir," a few servants said taking Dawnfire.
"Keep her safe!" Smokescreen yelled watching as Dawnfire disappeared inside.
"Thank you two, for bringing them back," Megatron said.
"It was no problem your highness," Smokescreen said.
"It's been quite a ride," Barricade said to Arcee.
"Yea," she said turning away getting ready to get back on Darksteel. "Hard to believe this crazy adventure is over…"
"Yea…" Barricade said. "Will…will I see you again?"
She walked back over and kissed him smack on the lips. "You can tell me how that made you feel when we do," she smirked as she hopped on Darksteel. With that the two ice harvesters and their predacons took off.
Barricade just stared after stunned. "It's about time," Megatron said smirking at his youngest. "Let's get inside." Barricade pulled himself out of his shock and fallowed the others.
-.-
"I'm going back out to look for them," Knockout said.
"You can't go out there again, the falling temperatures are sure to kill you," the Tarnian dignitary, Shockwave said.
"If anything happens to Princess Dawnfire-" Knockout began.
"If anything happens to her, you're all Kaon has left," another dignitary said.
"In here!" Soundwave said. "Knockout!"
"Dawnfire!" Knockout said taking the weak Princess from him. "You're so cold!"
"Knockout you need to kiss me! Now!" Dawnfire pleaded as the other royals walked in.
"Whoa slow down!" the Praxian prince said.
"We'll give y'all some privacy," a dignitary said as the other royals entered.
"I'm not," Barricade said flopping down on a couch.
"If you think we went all this way to just sit outside you're dead wrong!" Moonrose said copying her cousin. The other three just shrugged and joined them on different couches and chairs, wanting explanations.
"What happened out there?" Knockout asked.
"Bumblebee struck me with his powers," she said weakly causing the others eyes (besides Barricade and Moonrose) to widen in shock.
"I thought you said he wouldn't hurt you?" Megatron asked confused.
"It was my fault, when I told him what happened…he freaked out, lost control…I just got in the way," she said doubling over holding her chest in pain and Knockout set her down on one of the available couches. "He darkened my heart, and now only an act of true love can save me…"
"True love's kiss," Knockout said in realization. He held her chin and leaned in as if he was going to kiss her, but then (to everyone's shock) he stopped a few centimeters away. "Oh Dawnfire…if only there was someone who loved you."
"What?" Dawnfire said in shock as Knockout walked to the window. "You said you did…"
"I was thirteenth in line for the throne in my own kingdom…I knew I'd have to marry into the crown somewhere, if your brother was a girl I would've gone with him, but even now no one got anywhere with him." He closed the curtains. "Then I ran into you; you were so desperate for love you were willing to marry me just like that!" He took a pitcher and dumped its contents on the fire, extinguishing it.
"No!" Dawnfire said falling off the couch.
"I figure after we got married, I'd have to find a way to kill 'Bee…but then he doomed himself, and you were foolish enough to go after him! Now, the only thing left to do is kill the king, and bring back summer," Knockout smiled.
"You won't stand a chance against 'Bee!" Dawnfire snapped.
"No, you didn't stand a chance against 'Bee," Knockout grinned manically as he knelt next to her. "But once I tell him that he killed you…I'll put him out of his misery, and be the hero that brings back summer and saves Kaon from destruction."
"Knockout!" Megatron snarled in fury. "You traitor! You won't get away with this!"
"Don't try anything your highness," Knockout said holding Dawnfire, a blade placed on her throat. "One step and she dies." He backed into the doorway. "You know…before I kill 'Bee I'll let is out-of-control power kill all of you first, this way I won't have any loose ends. And Megatron…I already have gotten away with this." Knockout grinned as he shoved Dawnfire onto the floor, he then quickly slammed and locked the door behind him.
Dawnfire scrambled to the door and pulled on it. "Please…someone…help us!" she whispered, before collapsing as the rest of her hair turned black.
"Dawn!" Barricade shouted. He picked her up and carried her back near the empty fireplace.
"We need to light this fire now! Or she is going to freeze to death!" Megatron said as he scrambled for a way to light the fire, coming up empty handed.
-.-
"It's getting colder by the minute! If we don't do something soon we'll all freeze to death!" Starscream snapped.
"Prince Knockout," Shockwave said standing up as he entered, looking downcast.
"Princess Dawnfire is…dead," Knockout said putting on a very convincing show.
"Primus," the group said sitting him down. "What happened?"
"She was killed…by King Bumblebee," he said after a moment.
They gasped in shock. "Her own brother…" Starscream said horrified.
"At least we finished our marriage vows…before she died in my arms…" Knockout said looking like he was going to weep in sorrow.
"It's official! King Bumblebee is a heartless demon, and everyone here is in grave danger!" Starscream said. "Where's Optimus Prime and King Megatron?!"
"Grieving with the body…I request that they do not be disturbed," Knockout said.
"Logical," Shockwave said. "Prince Knockout, for the moment Kaon looks to you..."
"With a heavy heart, I charge King Bumblebee of Kaon with treason, and sentence him to death."
