Chapter 5: The Past Pt. 1

The next morning, Bee called Soundwave but hoped he didn't disturb him. Luckily, Soundwave was already up watching TV. He picked up the phone with one of his tentacles as his talons were already occupied with the remote and some energon.

"Hello?"

"Dude, you awake?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Can you do me a little favor?"

"Sure, what is it?"

"Let me come over and I will tell you!"

"Okay?"

Bee hung up, ran out his door, transformed and raced over to Soundwave's house. Soundwave was already at the door waiting. Bee transformed and walked towards Soundwave.

"Hey Bee what's up?" Soundwave said inviting him in.

"I was wondering if there was a way to travel back in time to where I need to answer all my questions." Bee said with his optics wide open.

Soundwave was silent for a few seconds. He looked away, then back at him.

"I suppose it's possible." Soundwave said rubbing the back of his head.

"Aren't you one of those highly advanced cybertronians that can do almost anything?" Bee asked.

"Well yes, so it might be possible." Soundwave thinking. "If we can, are you just making us two go?"

"No, I was going to get Optimus and Starscream." Bee said.

"Good idea, get them!"

About 15 minutes later Bee had aquired Optimus and Starscream who were a little worried.

"Are you sure this is safe?" Optimus asked.

"I hope so!" Starscream said with his wings shaking a bit.

Them and Bee stood in front of Soundwave who was trying to activate the teleportation system in his processor.

"Does that hurt?" Bee asked.

"Not really!" Soundwave said as his faceplate began to glow a bright green. Suddenly different memories began showing up on the screen while the Transformers Prime theme music played quietly in the background.

"Hey, how about visiting a few other memories first before we get to the main one?" Soundwave suggested.

"Okay, how about the first time we all hung together at the Iacon park." Bee laughed.

"Oh yeah, Megatron picked on Starscream that day yanking him up by his wings. We got to see that!" Optimus said laughing.

"Ugh, seriously?" Starscream said with his claws on his hips and an optic-brow raised.

"Come on Starscream, it's not just that. We want to see other good memories too." Optimus said.

Suddenly the green light turned into a ray that illuminated the whole house. Then there was a flash and all four of them were gone.

In the past...16 years ago.

Optimus, Bee, Soundwave and Starscream materialize in a flash of green light. They look around and notice they are in the Iacon park. Optimus, Bee and Starscream hide in a nearbye bush except for Soundwave.

"Guys we can't alter the past. They can't see us. Only we can see them." Soundwave explained.

They all crept over closer to the swings. They saw that young Optimus and Bee had just met. This made present Optimus and Bee smile big and look at each other. They all watched as young Bee and Optimus walk over to a young Soundwave who watching helplessly as Starscream is being yanked by his wings by young Megatron.

"PUT ME DOWN!" Young Starscream yelled in pain as young Megatron laughed.

"This will teach you to get on this slide before me!" young Megatron laughed.

"MEGATRON PUT HIM DOWN!" Young Optimus yelled angrily.

"So that's your brother?" Young Bee said hiding behind Optimus.

"Yep, unfortunately!" Optimus said.

Young Megatron lifted Starscream up even higher, then dropped him on his aft. Young Starscream began crying as young Soundwave ran over to comfort him.

"Optimus, you should know better than to get in my way!" Megatron said stepping right up to his younger brother's face.

Optimus didn't say a word but just stare into Megatron's glowing red optics. Bee stayed behind Optimus very worried.

"I forgot, did you guys fight?" Present Starscream asked Optimus.

"No, I never actually tried fighting Megatron, but remember this part?" Optimus pointing to young Bee.

"Well, who do we have here?" Megatron said now looking at the frightened Bee. Bee stared straight into Megatron's optics.

"Who's your friend?" Megatron asked trying to reach for Bee who dodged him.

"His name is Bumblebee and you don't need to be picking on him!" said a voice from nearbye. It was young Cliff and Bulkhead coming to the rescue.

"Whatever, I'm not worried about him today anyway! But, mabye another time!" Megatron said leaving.

"You alright Bee?" Cliff asked putting a servo on Bee's shoulder...the same damaged shoulder Makeshift has.

"Yeah, I'm good." Bee said relaxing. "At least now with my new friend." Bee added looking up at the young but giant mech who smiled back.

Present Bee and Optimus looked at Soundwave at the same time.

"Think mabye we can teleport to a different time now, this is getting too sad and awesome for us to handle!" Optimus said trying to pull back his lubricate-tears.

Without a word, Soundwave's face-plate glowed green again and all four of them were teleported away. They had decided to journey to other pasts events and mabye even another demension if possible. They were saving Bee's predicament for last. Why not have fun for awhile?

However back in the present, everyone wondered where they went. Especially Barricade and Makeshift who were concerned.
