Episode 3 The War Comes To Earth
A week after Bumblebee was coronation as hero of Neo Detroit, he and Spike Witwickey were walking around a government facility deep underground in a forest.
"Nice place you guys got", said Bumblebee
"My dad used to be a a government agent so I'm pretty much allowed here", Spike explains very proudly
"So this is the alien robot we will working with hugh!"
"Bumblebee let me introduce you to Agent Fowler head of the intelligence division."
"Pleasure to meet you Mr. Fowler."
"Same here Autobot Bumblebee, say since your here I think we have something you might want to look at."
Bumblebee was confused at first, then he went into another chamber and was shocked to find what he saw
"GRINDOR IS DEAD!"
"You know this bot Bumblebee", said a confused Spike
"I guess I should give you guys a little context, You see I'm from a planet called Cybertron, there we Transformers have been locked in war for a couple centuries."
"I'm part of a faction which you know as Autobots, we were all for the leadership that the council of primes made for us."
"Though there were some who rejected the council's leadership, Those were known Deceptions and Grindor was one them."
"We found his body at an abandoned mining operation," said Fowler
"But how did this happen."
"I believe I know the answer."
"Hey aren't you Mr. Sumdac and Sari's father."
"Yes and I believe that one behind you is the reason why."
Bumblebee gasped,"It can't be... Cliffjumper!"
"Whoa that red Autobot looks exactly like you Bumblebee, except for the head."
"We'll that's because he's my brother."
"BROTHER", shouted the humans.
"I didn't know robots could have siblings", said Spike
"Well I call Cliff my brother because we're some how created from the same proto form."
"I keep finding these discoveries very fascinating", said Sumdac
Then Bumblebee saw Cliffjumper's wound
"I see, they battled and the damage forced Cliff to go into stasis lock to save his life."
"If Ratchet were here, he would give Cliffjumper the fix he needs."
"Who is Ratchet."
"Nothing he's just a friend of mine, anyway update me if there's any progress on fixing my brother."
"No problem we'll contact you as soon as we can."
With that Bumblebee and Spike head back to Neo Detroit
The next week Bumblebee helps by participating in public fundraisers, stopping some crimes, and giving to kids in need. All these good deeds eventually leads him to get a ceremony for his unbridled kindness
On the Friday of the week, the day he will receive his award. The peaceful time he has will come to a stop.
He first picked up Daniel and Chip Jr to take them to see the ceremony.
Bumblebee and Daniel have also become real close with him being partner's with his father Spike.
"How does it feel to get the reward Bumblebee."
"It's a feeling of good fortune and humbleness."
"I'm not really good with talking normally but you seem to be a good batch of processed data Bumblebee."
"Thanks Chip and Daniel now onto the ceremony."
Bumblebee stands behind the Mayor Witwickey, Spike, Daniel, Mr. Sumdac, Sari, and Captain Fanzone.
The Chip's, and other kids Bumblebee meet are within the crowd.
"As Mayor of Neo Detroit We are once again greeted by Bumblebee's compassion for all of our well-being, I would like to present him with the annual compassion medal.
The thing was put on his neck via hover drones.
"I Professor Sumdac am also here to promote our new railway system, able to go at speeds of 300 miles an hour. Bumblebee will also be here to cut the red tape to open the monorail."
Bumblebee uses his built in hand blade to cut the tape. Then the crowd cheers.
"Yeah Bumblebee", said Lori and Coby.
"And now our own Detroit Aerial Acrobatics Jet performers the Crimson Angels.
In the air six red jets perform over the city. Halfway in a seventh joins the team.
Sumdac noticed the number was off
"Sparkplug, I only remember ordering six jets."
"What, We have bogey in our team."
Then that one jet flys down towards Bumblebee and The others.
"Ugh... Dad one is flying toward us", said Spike to Sparkplug.
Bumblebee squints his optics and recognizes the colors.
"Oh no, It can't be."
The crowd watches in confusion as the jet transforms into Starscream and has his hand stretched out to Bumblebee.
"EVERYONE GET!..."
Bumblebee has no time to finish as Starscream then grabs him by the neck and smashes him into the capital building wall.
"YOU THOUGHT YOU COULD HIDE FROM ME!"
"STARSCREAM!"
Bumblebee kicks Starscream in the face and proceeds to roll into recovery then grabs a broken steel beam to follow up only for Starscream to block the attack and then punches Bee to the ground.
"YOU WILL DIE JUST LIKE YOUR FRIENDS...", Starscream is cut of from shooting Bumblebee as he tackles him. Bumblebee then gets out his blade to attack Starscream only for him to fly out of the way and grabs Bee again as he proceeds drags him up the capital building.
Bumblebee grabs the side of the building with his hand and causes Starscream to stutter giving Bee a chance to get on his back and start stabbing him in the shoulder area. This causes Starscream to fall on the roof spread eagle style while Bee lands just fine.
Though once Starscream got up he push Bee back with his null rays and Bee stumbles at the edged of the building only for Starscream to catch him.
"How did find me Starscream", said Bumblebee.
"Thanks to my Seekers they located the pod beacon you neglected to turn off."
"No, that means I brought the war here."
"But tell me scout, we're are the rest of your friends."
"In your dreams, You would have to pry that information from my cold sparkless body."
"Confident are we", Starscream then pulled out his arm blade, "Be careful what you say."
Starscream then stabs Bumblebee in the gut as the people watch in horror of what happened to their hero.
"BUMBLEBEE!", shouted Spike.
Starscream then drops the Autobot to the ground.
Bumblebee is now a serious condition. Starscream then comes down to Bumblebee to finish him. "You have been a thorn in my side for years, I enjoy ripping you apart bit by bit."
As Starscream prepared the fatal blow, a loud truck honk is heard. The truck in question rams into Starscream causing him to fall down. The truck then transforms and is revealed to be Optimus Prime.
"You get your hands off my scout Starscream."
Optimus Prime then covers Bumblebee as he points his gun to Starscream.
"Optimus... you came."
"Not just me old friend."
Soon more vehicles arrived.
First a red pickup truck who was Iron Hide.
Second a red and white ambulance who was Ratchet.
Third was a Pontiac with blue, black, white, red and has a 4 on the hood was Jazz
Fourth was a police motorcycle which was Prowl.
Fifth was a pink motorcycle which was Arcee
and Finally a white Italian sport car with red and green was Wheeljack.
"Tch, you may have numbers now Prime but it's only a matter of time before Megatron and the other Decepticons come here, until then I would want to be prepared."
Starscream transforms back into jet mode and flys off.
"Ratchet repair Bumblebee quickly", said Optimus.
He then looks at the crowd of people.
"Hello people of Earth, my name is Optimus Prime. You have took my scout in, gave him a home and accepted him as one of your own. For that you have my thanks and friendship. But now trouble comes afoot from our enemies, please let us set up a barrier around this city to protect you from the coming Decepticon threat."
"Mr. Prime my name is Isaac Sumdac, Let my company assist you in building your barrier."
"Let me assist you as well."
"Ah my old friend JB Blackrock and owner of Blackrock oil refiners, I guess you came to congratulate me on opening the railroad system yes."
"Indeed I did Isaac, You bots look like you need fuel. Luckily I own one of the biggest oil refiners in the world.
"Thank you Blackrock this oil will be enough to convert into energon."
A week passed as the Autobot force's with the help from Blackrock and Sumdac we're able to create the force field around the city and under the cities sewer system.
"Oh my chest hurts".
"Easy there Bumblebee you still need to rest based on the wound Starscream gave you."
"Sorry Ratchet how's Cliffjumper doing."
The slumbering Cliffjumper was on the repair bed next to Bumblebee.
"I managed to repair his wound and deactivated his stasis lock, shouldn't be long before he..."
"Wakes up"
"Hey Cliff how are you doing."
He then noticed Bumblebee's wound
"What did I miss."
"Cliffjumper it's been so long."
"Hey Ratchet."
There's a bang on the door
"Hey Ratchet, we want to see our team leader."
"Hold your horse's."
It opens to reveal the Wreckers which is comprised of Bulkhead, Strongarm, Landmine, Whirl, and Springer.
"How are you doing Cliff", said Bulkhead
"I could be doing better but I'm at least happy to be online."
"Is it true you single handily destroyed Grindor", said Whirl
"Easy there young one our leader needs to rest", said Landmine
"I honestly have better things to do than to check up on someone."
"You never change Springer."
"Okay everyone I think we should give Cliffjumper and Bumblebee there space", Strongarm escorted the Wreckers out of the medical bay with Ratchet following.
"So Bee what's been going on with you since I was unconscious."
"Well I hope you like long stories."
We cut to a big black and purple ship that rests on the surface of the moon.
"Know this Prime if I will need to crush any earthling that stands in my way so be it."
"Lord Megatron Soundwave reporting, the Autobots have fortified a city on earth."
"Leave it be Soundwave, because I know that they can't keep every city safe."
