Human Life
Chapter 1
"Need…to go…for a drive." The young yellow Autobot said sighing. He and the other Autobots were waiting in the med bay for Ratchet.
Nothing was wrong with them it's just that Ratchet had called them there for some reason unknown. 'But why now?' Bumblebee asked himself. Though the question was unheard by the others. The young mech and his huge dark green friend had been playing a video game. Bumblebee was about to win and beat his own high score till Ratchet had called them down here.
The sudden urgent call distracted Bumblebee and Bulkhead ended up beating him! How was that even possible? The yellow Autobot kind of wished Sari would hurry up and come back to the base. She was out right now buying some new human game system. Bumblebee wanted to go with her but she wouldn't let him saying 'it was a surprise'.
"What's taking Ratchet so long? I mean, we rush down here and he's not even here!" Bumblebee said angrily, tired of waiting for the old medic.
"Calm down Bumblebee. Ratchet should be coming. He told us to wait. Though you were probably to busy complaining to hear him." Prime, the leader of the tiny Autobot team said looking down at the tiny Autobot.
"Yeah yeah…whatever." The yellow mech said crossing his arms and looking away as Prime sighed and continued his conversation he had been having with the ninja bot called Prowl.
"Alright alright…I'm here." The old red and white medic bot said walking into the med bay and looking at his fellow Autobots. He was carrying a huge metal box that had the 'Elite Guard Autobot' insignia on it.
"You called us here in a hurry just to show us some stupid new thing the Elite Guard sent us?" Bumblebee asked annoyed and tapping his huge metal foot on the ground, causing a clanging sound.
Ratchet glanced at the young mech and then walked right passed him with the box and set it on a huge metal table. "It's a new virus protection system. Ultra Magnus said we need this upgrade. The Decepticons created some new virus. The Autobot scientist got wise and found the virus in a fellow Autobot that had been infected. They quickly made a new virus protection system to stop this one. So we all need to be upgraded with it." Ratchet said and started opening the box and pulling out new medical equipment and other objects that would help install the new virus protector in them all.
"It's going to take some time for all of us to get this installment in since I'm the only medic here. But this installment can spread fast and protect the Autobot body quickly. But depends on how big the Autobot is. It would spread through a tiny Autobot pretty fast and it would be pretty quick to install in some one tiny since they don't have so much extras possibly added to him." Ratchet said picking up a gadget then turning his head to look at Bumblebee along with everyone else.
"Oh no! Oh no no no! You've never installed this new system on some one before and I'm not going to be the first person you install it into and then have you screw up and mess me up." Bumblebee said backing away with a frightened face.
"Kid, I couldn't mess you up anymore then you already are even if I wanted to." Ratchet said sighing. "Now come on it won't kill you and it's a quick installment. I'm a professional. I know what I'm doing. Now let's get this over with so I can work on the others."
"NO!" Bumblebee yelled and tried to escape from the med bay but Ratchet had quickly grabbed him by the arm and pulling him back towards the medical berth. "No! No! No! Try it on Prowl first! He's only a little taller!"
Prowl raised an optic ridge and sighed. "You're going to be fine Bumblebee."
"How do you know?" Bumblebee said still freaked and trying to get away from Ratchet, who was now trying to pin the young mech down so he could install the virus protector.
Something bad had happened to an Autobot before when a new virus had been made by the Decepticons and the scientist had made a new system to protect Autobots from it. This one Autobot was the first to try it out. He was also in a group of five Autobots and was the tiniest of the group. The doctor of that team was also a professional just like Ratchet. That Autobot got the new system installed and then a week after the system had been installed in him he had some how went offline. This Autbot had also not gone into battle for a week and just been working on some paper work. Everyone else who had gotten the system put in had been absolutely fine. They never even did find out how the Autobot suddenly went offline. Though they say the week during his new installment the Autobot had been acting crazy and kept saying something was happening to him. No matter how many test the medics had given him they could never find anything wrong.
This old story is what freaked Bumblebee out. Though Autobots now a day thought it was just some stupid myth. Though Bumblebee totally believed it. This is why virus protection upgrades freaked him out. He didn't want the same happening to him.
Bumblebee quickly found an opening on Ratchet and punched him quickly. The old medic winced and his grip on Bumblebee's arm loosened. Bumblebee took the chance and got away from Ratchet and quickly used the wheels on his feet to skate out of the room before Ratchet could grab a hold of him again.
Once the yellow mech was out of the med bay Ratchet stood straight up and looked furious. "That little glitch head!" he yelled angrily. He had to loosen his grip some on the new piece of installment equipment in his hand before he broke it.
"I've never seen Bumblebee act that way before." Bulkhead said looking confused. "Didn't know he was afraid of getting upgrades."
"He's not. When he got that booster upgrade he seemed fine with it. Maybe it's just system upgrades he's afraid of rather then new installments that give him more speed like the boosters did." Prime said looked at the large dark green mech.
Ratchet sighed. "Well until that walking malfunction comes back I guess the rest of us can just get the system upgrade."
"But what if a Decepticon attacks Bumblebee with that new virus?" Bulkhead said worried.
"Doubt it. The Decepticons on Earth right now are probably planning to get the Autobots on Earth all together first. Then they'll attack. They wouldn't just attack one Autobot. Because that Autobot would probably then warn them off the back or something in that nature." Ratchet explained. "So come on. It's time for some upgrades."

'Man…that was way to close for comfort.' Bumblebee thought as he skated out of the abandoned automobile plant, which was the Autobots current base. 'Man system upgrades creep me out.'
The yellow mech transformed into his vehicle mode, a yellow and black combat detective's car, and drove farther into the city of Detroit. Some times it was relaxing to just drive in the city and watch what the organics did. Though while relaxing and trying to forget about the new system upgrade, Bumblebee was also trying to find his organic friend. 'Alright Sari, where are ya?' the young mech asked himself and started passing every game store he could think of and hoping Sari was walking out of one of them.
Some times Bumblebee hated that he couldn't fit in some of the stores and every time he was with Sari and she went in one he'd have to wait outside. Even though he never showed it…organics really interested them. They're way of life was just so…different. They had no weapons attached to them, they couldn't transform, and they weren't made out of metal or steel.
The little mech always wondered what human food tasted like. He also kind of wondered what the inside of a game store or what Sari called an 'arcade' looked like. Some times the windows were just too hard to see through and Bumblebee could barley see what was in the store. He also wondered what it was like to just be normal and not have people stare at you like your some freak of nature. But why did they stare at him and the other Autobots? They were TONS of other robots here in the city. They weren't too different. Unless you count the added weapons and having actual free will and being bigger then any other robot on the planet. Though still…what would life be if he was an organic? He could blend in, fight into a store, and eat human food. It seemed pretty cool.
Though that would never happen. It wasn't possible. If it was Bumblebee would try it in a humans heart beat. He'd like to live one day…just one day as an organic and see from their eyes. Do what they do. Be like one of them.
'What am I thinking? Being a human. I mean it can't be all that. If I was human I wouldn't have my awesome energy stingers. Or my super awesome speed. I couldn't be the fastest thing on wheels.' Bumblebee thought. He sighed and then stopped himself. Where was he? It looked like he was still in Detroit. But there were piles of robots and oil stains everywhere on the street and sidewalks. Some people were on the sidewalks but they all looked so mean and they wore old clothes that looked ripped. Some wore the same colors. They also looked like they never took a bath. They had seemed to be drinking something in a bottle. The streets though were even filthier then the people. It looked like they had never been cleaned and some windows on the houses were broken…actually most of the windows were. Was this one of those bad parts of town Sari told him about?
How did you even get here? His thinking of being a human distracted him and he must have not paid any attention to where he was going. Bumblebee slowly backed up. Seeing all the dead robots. All the robots torn to pieces and all the oil dripping out of them…it almost put him in stasis lock. He wanted to get out of there fast. He didn't want to end up like one of them.
"Hey guys! Look at that car!" Bumblebee heard some one yell. Sounded like some guy. "That's a nice car." "Looks like a cop car." "Hey! I think it's that Fanzone dude's car." "For reals!?"
Bumblebee started to back up faster. Oh Primus they were talking about him. A few voices seemed mad after they had mistaken him as Fanzones car. Maybe he should transform into robot mode. He could easily get away then. A few of the people started coming towards him. Some even with weapons. Bumblebee stopped dead in his tracks. He wanted to transform to robot mode…but couldn't. They were going to turn him into scrap metal! 'For the love of Primus! Some one! Anyone! HELP ME!'
The young mech soon found the world change all around him. It felt like he was going offline. Not permanently…just like he was going into a stasis nap. Bumblebee soon blacked out. The last thing he heard was the men that were getting closer to him screaming. Yelling about something coming. What was coming…and was it coming…for him?
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
"He's starting to wake up." "Oh thank goodness!" "Wow that was touch and go there for a minute. Thought we almost lost him for a minute there." "Don't say that!"
Bumblebee could hear the voices of the other Autobots. He also heard Sari's voice. He would have pretended to remain in recharge mode if he hadn't heard Sari. Bumblebee opened his baby blue optics and the first thing he saw was Sari's smiling face.
"Hi." She said happily. She held tightly on to her key. She must have used it to fix him. Though what had been broken and how long had he been out?
"Hey." Bumblebee answered and tried to sit up and Sari crawled off of him and sat next to him on the large medical berth. The young mech succeeded in sitting up. This time he did wish he would have stayed in recharge after seeing the mad faces on the other Autobots. Well except Bulkheads. He just looked concerned. Ratchet looked furious though.
"What were you thinking?" Ratchet asked crossing his arms and glaring at the yellow Autobot.
"What do you mean?" Bumblebee asked confused.
"What were you thinking going into that part of town!? When we found you a tow truck was taking you away and you looked horrible!" Ratchet yelled.
"Was I still in vehicle mode?" the young mech asked. Optimus nodded then asked "Why didn't you return to your normal mode and get out of there?"
"I think I blacked out some how. Nothing hit me I just blacked out." Bumblebee answered. He directed his attention to Sari who held on to his hand and looked at him worried.
"Well your lucky Sari's key fixed you up or you'd be offline for good. Also why you were offline for that short time I upgraded your system with the new virus protector. Since I knew when you woke up you would have a spark attack again." Ratchet said sighing and trying to calm himself down.
"What!?" Bumblebee said freaked. His optics were wide with worry. "Are you crazy!? Maybe…maybe I didn't want that upgrade! Ever think of that?"
"It doesn't matter kid you needed it. Now calm down. Before I put in the new system I did a full on systems check on you to make sure there wasn't any other serious damage. Seems you were perfectly fine. Just banged up. The organics in that part of Detroit must have done that to you. Don't know how. But I doubt it was a Decepticon since they would have done much more and would have inflicted you with there new virus." The old medic explained.
"Y-yeah…the humans did it." Bumblebee said trying to convince himself that it was probably some tougher human that scared those ones that had been coming near him away. Though it wasn't working.
"Your fine now though that's all that matters." Optimus said smiling at his youngest solider. "Everyone go to your rooms and recharge." The huge red and blue mech said and walked out of the room along with Prowl and Bulkhead. Ratchet was about to follow but Bumblebee grabbed his arm.
"Hey did you give everyone else to upgrade too?" he asked with a fear filled face.
"Yes, I did. Stop worrying kid. Nothing is going to happen to you." Ratchet said getting the yellow mech to let go "Just get some rest." He said then left the room.
Bumblebee jumped off the medical berth once the medic was gone and looked at Sari.
"I'll uh…see you in the morning then?" the human girl said smiling and jumping of the medical berth.
The yellow Autobot smiled "Yeah, see ya in the morning." He said and walked out of the med bay with her and then headed to his own room as Sari headed to her own room.
After seeing his human friend again it kind of got him wondering again. What would it like to be an organic? Maybe one day he could find out. But probably…not some day soon.
Bumblebee reached his room and walked inside. The door closed behind him and he walked over to his berth and jumped on it. Even though he was in recharge for Primus knows how long he still felt beat. Bumblebee slowly shut his optics and went into recharge mode for the second time that day.
Some times Autobots had dreams. That's what Bumblebee was dreaming. Dreaming of being a organic. How fun it would be. To not have people stare at you. The best part could also be he could hang out with Sari the whole day…even though he could do that now. But if he was organic he could go into places likes stores and arcades with her and have even more fun! Then he'd truly by a best friend. Oh Primus he wished he was an organic.
Though little did the young Autobot know…his wish was coming true. A faint purple light came from Bumblebee's room. Bumblebee remained in recharge though the light was coming from him. It surrounded his whole body. The already short mech started to get even shorter.
His baby blue optics soon changed into actual baby blue eyes, though they remained shut. The yellow plating on his head soon changed into short blonde hair. His body armor changed into soft human clothes. Though under the clothes his body was now a fleshy pink color. It was skin of course! No longer an Autobot…but an organic, and it would take till the young robot, now a human boy, woke up till he found out what had now happened to him and know that his life would now greatly change.

So what do you think? I think this is…okay so far. Not one of my best. I wrote it and I kind of even got confused at the part where Ratchet was explaining about the new upgrade. But hopefully I cleared it up some. Any questions? Just ask. Tell me what you think!
