Bumblebee threw up his arms, shut his eyes, clenched his teeth, and accepted the inevitable splat, but it never came. He looked to his right to see the train speeding past.

"I'm alive?!" he looked at his body. Arms. Legs. Head. Everything was there. He let out the loudest sigh of relief he'd ever heard. Then he saw that his fall had ripped a hole in his jacket arm. He let out an annoyed groan.

"I think I lost him," Nanosec looked back but couldn't see anyone.

"The unknown man has been 'seen' running around town robbing banks in the blink of an eye." Nanosec looked at the television to see the anchorman reporting his crimes.

"Unknown? I'm Nanosec! I'll show them." Nanosec sped off.

"The Autobots have so far been unable to—Hey! What do you think you're doing?!" the newscaster gasped when he saw the orange suited villain suddenly appear next to him.

"The name is Nanosec! I'm the fastest villain you'll ever know! And no one, police or Autobot will stop me!" Nanosec then sped off and appeared just in time to see his news cameo.

"Ugh, that camera doesn't do justice. It makes me look ten years older," Nanosec ran off. There were more banks to rob.

"I can tell from the news that you are enjoying my gift," a voice said. Nanosec stopped.

"What the? Who said that?" Nanosec shrugged and continued his run.

"I have implanted a device inside your suit so that we may communicate," a holographic head appeared before Nanosec, "but it can only be transmitted while you are in high-speeds."

"So just who are you?"

"I am the benefactor who donated your suit. I gave it to you as a sign of good will. In hopes that you will return the favor."

"Hold on a me," Nanosec laughed at his little joke, but the head didn't appear to be amused, "The last time I got in a 'scratch-me-I-scratch-you-back' deal, I ended up neck deep in debt. And I had to go through a lot of trouble to pay off."

"Then what if I make it more in your favor?"

"How so?"

"I ask for but one thing: a container of a substance known as Destronium. It is located in the Sumdac Containment Facility just north of here. If you can get it from section 1-98D and deliver it to one of my men inside Sumdac Tower within ten minutes, I will offer you great rewards."

"And how am I supposed to know who the heck your mole is?"

"He'll be the only person to just stand there when you arrive."

"I still don't see where it's in my favor." A series of numbers and dashes appeared before him.

"Insert these numbers into any ATM and you will receive your down payment. The rest of the money will come after you finished your assignment." The head disappeared. Nanosec made a u-turn for the nearest ATM. He typed in the numbers and the amount of money he wanted. Fifty hundred dollar bills spat out.

"Guess the head wasn't lying. Might as well leave the cash for some bum. I won't need it after I get rich." Nanosec then ran toward the containment facility as fast as he could.

"So…what's my time?" Bumblebee breathed after his last run. Sari shook her head. "Same as the last time?!"

"Same as the last twenty times," she corrected.

"Let's try it just one more time! I've gotta beat my record."

"Save it for later kid, you're wasting energy. We've gotta be ready for that Nanosec guy when he makes his next move," Ratchet said.

************************************************************

The orange blur flashed into and out of the containment facility within sixty seconds.

"Ha ha! Easiest money I've ever made!" Nanosec laughed, "Ten minutes and counting. That mole'd better be ready for me when I get there."

****************************************************************

"Listen doc! If I'd been just a little faster, I coulda nabbed him. So just gimme back the boosters!" Bumblebee begged.

"Get this through your head Bumblebee, I'm not letting you get your hands on those things even if Megatron force me at blasterpoint!" Ratchet barked.

"Everyone!" Optimus ran in the room, "Nanosec's been spotted at the Sumdac Containment Facility heading south! Let's roll out!" Optimus ran off, followed by Prowl and Bulkhead.

"Ya know, this'd be a good time for us to use those motorcycles I heard you talking about," Bumblebee smiled at Ratchet.

"Don't even mention those things," Ratchet growled then left Bumblebee in the hangar alone.

"Like I've even got a chance of catching him anyway," Bumblebee frowned.

"Ya know," Sari walked into the room and nudged him in the side, "I just might happen to know where Ratchet hid your boosters."

"You do?!"

"Ah, ah, ah," Sari swayed her finger from side to side, "I'll only tell you if you let me come with you."

"Deal," Bumblebee said reluctantly.
