Chapter 25: Finding the Base

Optimus traveled around near the shore of the Lake Erie where Ratchet said is where Bumblebee would be. They did split up to cover more ground but they still haven't found any clue where Bumblebee is.

Optimus was about to give up until he stumbled upon some few hikers around the hill.

"Oh look, Steve, it's Optimus Prime." exclaimed an excited hiker, "Wonder what he's here?"

"Heard they're missing their little friend, Bumblebee. Probably came around here to search him here."

"Excuse me" two hikers loooked up from their conversation and saw Optimus waving at them, "I was wondering if you know anything strange going on. My team and I were looking for someone."

The hikers though for a small while until Steve snapped his fingers.

"Hey Sam did you see a plane landing somewhere in the woods?" Sam though about it and he perked up, "You mean the MiG-49? It looks weird when I saw it. It was all tan and purple, like someone spray painted it just for the hell of it." Optimus perked up at the mention of the color. It sounded like Blitzwing all right.

"That...jet you found, where was it?"

"Oh it just landed over the mountain not too far from here. Probably a mile or two if that count." Optimus nodded his head and bid farewell to the hikers, "thank you that information will help me find something. Sorry for your trouble." the hikers waved goodbye as they watched Optimus headed toward the direction where they found the jet.

When Optimus was ear-shot away, Sam looked at his friend and exclaimed, "Dude! I can't believe we've just talked to Optimus!"

Optimus rolled around the forest trying to find the sources where the bikers had told him. If he was right, strangely is where Bumblebee and Prowl had their unexpected ambush by the space barnacle. According to Sari, there was an abandoned mine that could be the best hiding place for the Decepticons.

He decided to check that place before he goes back.

The abandoned mine was still there, somehow it was nearly broken down by Bumnlebee's stingers and the Space Barnacle. He find it surprising that it was still intact.

But what was more strange is that how new the mine looked like it was polished and renewed it again. He couldn't even find any damage that was done by either Bumblebee or the space barnacle.

That is until he was interrupted by the booming voice from the mine.

Surprised, Optimus hid in the shadows and pressed his audio sensory on.

"Time is wasting. We need to find a way to connect the spacebridge to my men." the voice was nine other than Megatron, "After what had happened by that traitor, Starscream."

"Do not worry Oh Glorious Megatron!" Replied Lugnut, his voice booming though the deep cave of the walls, "The Contrusticons are finishing up with the Spacebridge as we speak! In few more cycles it will be complete!"

"Excellent. Where is Blitzwing?"

"Out in a walk."

Optimus didn't hear anymore as he sneaked away form the site. He found the Decepticon Base, and that is enough for him to plan on about how to save Bumblebee from them.

Bumblebee, in truth, is not having a good time. Well first all, he turned into a dog. Second of all, he was taken by Blitzwing, Scarface and Blitzwing again, and third of all, he is still in a FREAKIN' DOG FORM.

Bumblebee tries to escape from the Base, but Blitzwing was too freaked out from the last time he was released and had to keep him in. Not to mention that he was carried around a lot.

He really wished that he was a cat right now.

Well right now, he and Blitzwing are on a walk, well more like he's on a walk and Blitzwing just tagged along to keep watch. He didn't mind the company though, it's just the crazy triple-changer is just being annoying.

"Ve will be leaving in few nano-clicks MJ." Then Icy was switched to Random, "And Ve'll go back and do some Cha-cha!"

Bumblebee sighed as he laid himself against the tree, feeling the warm sun on him.

He really wish he was home right now. But for now, he will have to endure with a triple-changer until he can find his way back home.

Note: Mr. Sumdac and Bulkhead weren't kidnapped to build the Spacebridge or anything else. Megatron could have kept a blueprint of the Spacebridge and made Constructicons to make it. He probably stole it during the Great War at times.

Next Time: The Autobots meet a new ally.
