Chapter 7: The Past Pt. 3

I was supposed to update last weekend but I wasn't near a computer. But now I am and can now continue...

"Are you sure you're ready?" Soundwave asked Bee.

"I'm sure!" Bee said.

"Well here we go!" Soundwave said as he activated his teleportating system to take them to the day of the incident.

Day of incident...

Upon arrival they saw they had arrived across the street from the arcade. No one was there though.

"Uh Soundwave, did you teleport us to the wrong place?" Bee said looking around.

"Just watch." Soundwave said pointing to the other end of the street.

Just then a 3 year old Bee and 4 year old Barricade and Makeshift came walking down the street excited about something. Makeshift was holding Bee's hand and making sure he never let go. Present Bee and the others stood beside the alley nearbye and listened to their conversation.

"Dude I can't wait for that new game to come out tomorrow." Barricade said excitedly.

"Seems like fun!" Makeshift added.

"Can I play?" Bee said with puppy dog eyes.

"Of course!" Barricade said rubbing Bee's head and laughing.

"Careful with your grip!" Makeshift warned seeing Barricade's claws accidently digging in Bee's head a bit.

"Sorry he-he! I can't help how rough I am!" Barricade said. "After all, I am a policemech."

Policemech's were considered one of the toughest mech's on the planet. They had a reputation for starting fights with people because they couldn't get in trouble for it and scoring with many femme's. Barricade would soon become the latest policemech on the planet. While Barricade is usually cruel and menacing, he is always kind and respectful to his friends and family. When hanging around Bee, he always loves to try and toughen Bee up which Makeshift sometimes disagrees on.

"Oh scrap!" Barricade said clenching his fists.

Two other cybertronians were coming towards him. They happened to be Thundercracker and Skywarp who were also 4 years old.

"Well, well, well, look who's new to the streets!" Thundercracker said staring at Bee.

"Never seen a yellow mech around these parts!" Skywarp says also staring at Bee.

Barricade and Makeshift guarded Bee by staying in front of him. Barricade growled.

"What do you two want?" Barricade said.

"What? We can't see your little yellow brat?" Skywarp teased.

Then, something caught Thundercracker's attention. He noticed the new tires and rims Bee had gotton. He had gotton them the day before.

"Nice tires! GIVE THEM TO US PUNK!" Thundercracker demanded taking a step foward towards Bee.

"GET OUT OF HERE BEFORE I CLIP YOUR WINGS!" Barricade threatened.

It was silent for a moment. Bee shook nervously. Barricade and Thundercracker stared down each other while Makeshift and Skywarp stared each other down. Finally Makeshift broke the silence.

"You wouldn't have a chance of beating us! We are way tougher than you punks!" Makeshift growled.

"OH YEAH?" Skwarp said.

"We heard that cybertronians like you two are supposed to be one of the strongest ones on this planet. A cop and a shapeshifter! Well, we will see about that!" Thundercracker growled.

"BRING IT!" Barricade yelled.

Without warning, Skywarp ran up and swung at Makeshift who dodged it. Barricade swung at Thundercracker who also dodged and lunged at Bee who was already running away. Thundercracker chased Bee into the alley that present Bee, Optimus, Starscream and Soundwave were beside. Skywarp ran after them while Makeshift and Barricade chased him. What Thundercracker and Skywarp had made was a very horrible mistake of picking fights with Barricade and Makeshift.

"So this is what happened?" Bee said to Soundwave looking very concerned.

"Keep watching!" Soundwave said as the group of four peaked inside the alley.

Bee kept running but kept looking behind him and smashed straight into a wall where the alley ended. Thundercracker laughed evily.

"What do you want?" Bee said crawling into a corner.

"GIVE US YOUR TIRES AND MABYE I WILL GO EASY ON YOU!" Thundercracker said cracking his knuckles.

But Bee tried his best to stall Thundercracker until the others came. Just then Bee saw Skywarp, Barricade and Makeshift running towards him. Makeshift tackled Skywarp and both began a fight that Makeshift was easily winning. Thundercracker continued to pick on Bee and insult him when Barricade came storming in and punched TC hard in the face knocking him down. Bee watched in horror at the pounding TC and Skywarp were receiving. But TC and Skywarp did get in a few punches only. The present group watched in surprisement too, especially Bee.

"Everything that I saw in that dream I had...it's all here!" Bee said.

"There's part of what you want to know!" Optimus said.

"Still though, this doesn't explain exactly why they look so familiar." Bee said.

Suddenly, past Bee actually attempted to leap onto Makeshift's shoulders.

"GUYS STOP IT PLEASE!" Bee yelled and made the permanent mark on Makeshift's shoulder by digging his non-clawed index digit in it on an accident. Makeshift tried to shake him off gently.

"But who punched me in the face?" Present Bee said to no one in paticular.

Suddenly Barricade launched a fist to TC's face but TC dodged it and the fist smashed into Bee's face knocking him off Makeshift's shoulder and down on the ground out cold.

Then, just a few seconds later, Bee finally got the answer he had been waiting for a very long time.

"NO ONE EVER MESSES WITH OUR BROTHER...NO ONE!" Barrciade yelled angrily pounding the heck out of TC.

That was it. Bee's optics went wider than they ever have before. Brothers. That's what Barricade said. Brothers. Soundwave and Starscream smiled at Bee. Optimus' battle mask snapped on and off 3 times each. Bee was speechless.

"Brothers? I have two brothers?" Bee said.

"Yeah, always had!" Soundwave said.

"But-but-" Was all Bee could say before he and the other three winced when Barricade smashed TC's face into the wall.

Barricade became a wild and savage cybertronian. He began beating up TC and Skywarp at the same time. He even clawed their paint right off. Makeshift had to pull Barricade away from the now out-cold cybertronians. Barricade's growling turned to whimpering as he turned to Bee's stasis body. Makeshift traced a claw over his permanent bruise and made it a reminder of this day. He let Barricade carry Bee's body to the hospital where the doctors called other policemech to take TC and Skywarp, who woke up an hour later, home. From that day on they have been very scared of the two brothers and mabye even Bee. Present Bee, Optimus, Starscream and Soundwave had followed them all day long. Up to the point where Barricade and Makeshift were watching over Bee in a hospital room to rest for the night. Barricade clenched his fists together towards Makeshift.

"If anything ever happens like that to him again...I don't know what I would do!" Barricade said as the claws tucked in his fists nearly sunk into his own hands.

Makeshift put a servo on one of his brother's shoulders.

"I promise it won't. In fact I have a little idea." Makeshift said.

Meanwhile the present group looked at each other and smiled.

"So what was his plan?" Bee asked. "I don't remember it."

"They had decided the next day that they would lie to you and say it was all a bad dream. And that yours and their bruises came from you guys accidently falling down some stairs." Starscream said.

Suddenly the doctor came by who looked nearly like Ratchet.

"So, is he going to be okay?" Barricade asked.

"Yes, however, the damage made to his proccesor had messed up the memory files. So there may be a few things he might end up forgetting when he wakes up." the doctor said.

"I punched him in the face by accident. I caused it." Barricade thought to himself in shame.

"You think he will lose some memories of us?" Makeshift said.

"Possibly!" said the doctor. "But who knows, mabye one day in the future he will start to remember...somehow!" he added.

"So why did they decide to move away?" Optimus asked confused.

He got his answer right away.

"Dude, I am thinking of moving out of this town!" Makeshift said.

"Why?" Barricade asked.

"'Well, for one thing, this town is boring, and two, I believe being around Bee can cause to much trouble for him." Makeshift said.

"Are you sure?" Barricade asked. "What will Bee think?"

"I'm sure he will understand. Besides, he's got Soundwave, Starscream, Breakdown, Cliffjumper and others to hang out with besides us." Makehshift said. "I bet Bee won't even remember us much...or that we are his brothers." he added sadly.

"Yeah I guess. And mabye we will get to travel the planet like we always wanted to." Barricade said.

He noticed that Bee's optics were open slightly but they were still offline. Barricade gently placed his claws on Bee's eyelids and shut them slowly. He smiled as he and Makeshift exited the room to sleep in the waiting room. Present Bee looked at Soundwave.

"Thank you!" Bee said with his eyes lubricating a bit.

"My pleasure!" Soundwave said. "Let's go back!"

With that, the four best friends flashed away to the present!
