"Think mechs, think." said Hunter as he pace back and forth. "Now are we going to capture the yellow bot without damaging in?"

"Well, it is going to be since his friends aren't going to give him up easily." said Death Trap.

"And that's the challenge."

"Well we could always use that device I got." suggested Overkill.

"What device?"

Overkill pulls out a weird device.

"What does it do?" asked Death Trap.

"Well it's supposed to turn the target into stone." explain Overkill.

"Ah, Overkill. I think our client doesn't want the specimen as a statue."

"Don't worry. I have a special machine that can reverse the affect by a lever." He placed the device on his arm and got up. "For example." He pointed the device at a rabbit. He presses the button. A laser came out and hit the rabbit. In a few seconds, it was turned to stone.

"Amazing!" said Hunter.

"And that's not all." Overkill presses a button on his wrist. A hovering disk appeared and receives the stone rabbit on top as a glass appeared around it. The disk hovered back to them. Overkill lowered the small lever on it and the rabbit inside was back to normal, panicking.

"Incredible! That's one handy trap." said Death Trap.

Overkill nodded. "And so he doesn't try to escape, you can always convert back to the statue form." Overkill pushed the lever back up and the rabbit was turn back to stone in the position of its panic.

"Brilliant, Overkill." smiled Hunter "We'll use this to capture him safely and once we do we'll have our money."

The Autobots were outside waiting for the elites to come out of their ship. Bumblebee had wakened up just in time but was feeling a little wobbly from the syringe. Collector was there with them.

"Ah, Lord Collector. How was your vacation?" asked Sentinal.

"Fine thanks you. This planet is very peaceful if you don't count the trouble that comes with it." said Collector.

"Well then we should head back to base now." said Optimus "It's getting late."

"You bots can go but little one stays with us."

Optimus mentally curse before he and the others turn around. Hunter and his friends were here again. While the Elites looked at them confusedly the autobots place themselves in front of Bumblebee.

"And you bots are?" asked Sentinal. Jazz recognize them and informed him.

"S.P. its Hunter and his gang. They're wanted for some charges."

"Well it's nice to know that some bots knows our business. But enough talk, hand us the sparkling guardian or we'll use force." said Hunter

The elites were shock. There's a sparkling guardian here?

"We're not going to let you have him." said Optimus.

"Then force it is." Hunter snapped his fingers and out came 50 drones. "Gentlemechs?"

Both Death Trap and Overkill nodded before stepping forward and attacking the autobots along with the drones firing at them. The elites took out their weapons and dodged the shooting as they attack the drones. Ratchet, Collector, and Bumblebee sneaked away from the battle so they can talk.

"Collector, can you take Bumblebee and keep him safe?" asked Ratchet.

"Of course." said Collector. "Come on Bumblebee, let's go."

Bumblebee hesitated but nodded. Ratchet watches them go before helping the others in the fight. He can up to Optimus as he activates his magnets.

Optimus destroy a drone before asking, "Where's Bumblebee?"

"He's with Collector. Don't worry he'll be fine." replied the medic, but something deep down tells him he made a wrong choice.

Bumblebee and Collector were a far distance away from the fight. Bumblebee felt guilty for giving his friends and felt like he should help them.

"I'm going back to help them." said Bumblebee. He wasn't going to let his friends died because of his secret.

"You're not going anywhere." said a dark voice behind him. Bumblebee turns around to see Collector glomming over him. He started to back up as Collector approach him.

"I waited stellar cycles to have you in my collection and I'm not going to wait much longer." As Bee back away from the noble as something click inside his processor.

"It was you..." Bee said as he started shaking. "You're the one that attacked me and my creator that day."

Collector laughed darkly. "So the little guardian remembers, too bad he remembers too late." He made a grab for Bumblebee who quickly made a break for it.

"I knew there was a reason I didn't like that mech." he said as he started running away.

"You can't run from me little Bee. I will get my prize." Bumblebee didn't answer. Instead he transformed into his vehicle mode and speed away.

Bumblebee kept driving until he found an empty building. It was an old Fisher-Price building. Bumblebee quickly transforms and went in and hid. He gasped in fear as he hid behind a corner before taking a few deep intakes and relax.

After standing there for a few cycles, he went deep inside of the building. He had his headlights on so he can see. There were a lot of old machines around over in dust and spider webs. There also appear to have a lot of rats and other small animals.

As he kept walking he heard a noise. Thinking it was the rats he continue walking until he heard something move. He pauses. There was the sound again. He took out his stingers and pointed to the source.

"I'm not going to be part of your crazy collection, Collector." Bee said. He wasn't going to give up without a fight. But what he got in response was a chirp. Not what he was expecting.

Curiosity was probably going to kill Bee tonight because it got the best of him. He slowly made way to where he heard that chirp. It sounded like it was coming from one of the machine. Bumblebee started to move some of the machines. As he did that, he started to hear sobbing sounds. He moved one more machine and gasped.

What did Bumblebee find? Find out next time.
