Unaware of the victory that Optimus had obtained through the latest battle of the seemingly unending war, Mirage still remained in his safe quarters on the base he had recently moved to. Mirage still feared for the safety of his sparklings, but he felt comforted in knowing he had at least 7 minibots watching out for him and his sparklings. Granted, Mirage knew that Pogo, Charger, Bee and Jumper were his royal counsel due to having families, Mirage also knew that because he had treated them so well, they would defend him if necessary. Mirage was glad and relieved that the three you single minibots were great protectors as it meant not only Mirage and his family were safe, but bee and the others with family didn't have to always be on guard for both their family and Mirage and his family. And though not required, every once in a while Bee or Jumper or Charger would take a shift to guard Mirage and his family as they still felt it was there duty.
And as Bee was guarding the door this time, he heard something that sounded strange – yelling and other loud noises that sounded like they were coming towards the safe base. Bee was concerned that this could be a bad thing, but as Bee listened more closely, and he realized that this yelling sounded like loud cheering and such, though Bee couldn't be sure at the time. Bee saw a young bot nearby, seemingly excited about something. "Excuse me, young one, but what is the cause of the ruckus?" Bee asked unsure of exactly what had occurred outside of the safe base.
"Our Prime has returned from battle victorious. Megatron is no more!" The younger mech responded, excited as he shared the news and then the young bot ran off to share the news with others. The young bot was determined to tell every bot he saw.
Bee smiled as the young bot left. Bee knew what this meant – Optimus and Mirage were now the top rulers of Cybertron. Bee wanted to go inside and inform his charge, but Bee knew he couldn't do that until he was relieved, and so for now, a happy Bee guarded the door, waiting for either Ironhide or another minibot to replace him. He knew that no matter what, the safety of Mirage and his family was of highest importance. Bee would bide his time for now, hoping that all would soon return to what Cybertron had once been.
