Awaken Within

Chapter nine:

Lockdown smiled as he was standing in front of a Cybertronian house. "Let's pay a visit." He said and went into the house.

Bumblebee was asleep on his guardian shell, when he heard the door opening. 'Oh no !' he thought and ran out of the room. Bumblebee looked down in the hall and saw Lockdown.

'Lockdown ? What is he doing here ?' Bumblebee thought when suddenly Lockdown faced him.

Lockdown smiled. "Hello Bumblebee." He said as he walked to the stairway. "I don't know if you have heard it, but you're my prey. Megatron had said he would pay me good if I offline you."

'Oh slag !' thought Bumblebee as he ran into one of the rooms.

Lockdown smiled. He loved it when his prey played hide and seek. Or for him, hide and destroy.

Lockdown ran upstairs and begun to search for Bumblebee. Bumblebee was hidden in a closet. "Aw well look at that." Said Lockdown. "Looks like someone already have offlined you're parent."

'He's in Blackbird's room !' thought Bumblebee as he came out of the closet with a sort of looking baseball bat. Bumblebee ran to the room and hit Lockdown on the head.

"Owh !" yelled Lockdown as he was hit by Bumblebee. Bumblebee ran away and hide again somewhere in the house. "Get back here you slagging traitor !" yelled Lockdown as he went after Bumblebee.

Lockdown looked around and smiled as he saw some fuel. "If I don't find you, I guess I've got to burn you." Said Lockdown as he threw the fuel around.

'Uh ho !' thought Bumblebee as he tried to get a small exit he used once.

"Goodbye Bumblebee." Lockdown said as he use his flamethrower to put the house on fire.

Lockdown walked out of the house and contacted Megatron.

'What is it Lockdown ?' said Megatron.

'My lord, I've killed the traitor Bumblebee.' Said Lockdown.

'Do you have any prove ?' Megatron asked.

'Is this enough ?' asked Lockdown as he showed the house that was on fire.

Megatron smiled. 'Good. You'll get you're bounty as soon you arrived here.'

'Thank you, sir.' Smiled Lockdown as he closed the com-link. "Best deal I've ever made." Mumbled Lockdown as he walked to his ship.

"Prime, are you sure about this ?" asked Ratchet as they drive to the Sumdec Tower. "He can be anywhere."

"No I'm sure." Said Prime. "I would have done the same if this would have happen to me."

A hour ago, Optimus had a call from Sentinel that Bumblebee had escaped the ship. And that there will be a chance that he would contact them.

Optimus transformed and went together with his team to the top of the Sumdec Tower, where Sari and her dad were already waiting for them.

"Everything ready ?" Optimus asked as he saw Sari and her dad.

"Yep." Said Sari. "Please bring Bumblebee back home."

Optimus nodded as he took the device that Bumblebee used once to get to Cybertron and back to earth. Optimus sighed and looked at the transwarp. After being destroyed six months ago, the transwarp was rebuild and working as good as new. "Okay , start the transwarp." Said Optimus.

Sari nodded and started the transwarp up. Optimus wanted to go thought it, when suddenly he felt a servo hand on his shoulder. Optimus turned around and saw it was the Doc bot. "I'm coming with you, Prime." Ratchet said. "He was injured when we let them too him with them. I'm sure those slaghead even didn't bother to fix him a bit up."

Optimus nodded. "Okay let's go then." Said Optimus as he and Rachet walked into the transwarp.

Bumblebe had escaped the fire. Thanks to the small exit that he used. Bumblebee ran away from the house but not too far. He turned around and stare at the house. Oil tears came out of Bumblebee's optics. He had lost everything. The house was the only thing he ever had. But thanks to Lockdown, he had last it. The memories of his guardian….The place where he grew up….Everything.

Bumblebee cried as he watched the house fall down. Suddenly he heard a noise behind him. He looked and saw Ratchet and Optimus standing there. 'Can this day get any worse ?!'thought Bumblebee as he shoot at Optimus and Ratchet.

Optimus and Ratchet jumped at they were getting shot. They both looked up as they saw Bumblebee running away from them.

"Bumblebee !!" yelled Optimus. "Wait !!"

Bumblebee kept running as the tears still ran over his faceplate. "Optimus use you're jet !" yelled Ratchet as they ran after Bumblebee.

Optimus nodded and fired his jet pack. Bumblebee looked behind him and saw Optimus flying towards him.

'Slag, slag !' thought bumblebee as he fired his boosters and flew away from Optimus. But without a warning, Bumblebee's boosters stopped, letting Bumblebee fall. Bumblebeee landed on his leg on a wrong way, leaving him to scream out of pain if he could have screamed.

Bumblebee cursed to himself as he saw Ratchet and Optimus coming towards him. He fired his boosters up again, not caring in how much pain he was in thanks to the fall.

Once he was in the air, Bumblebee felt getting dizzy. By that, his boosters stopped again and fell again out of the air.

"Bumblebee !" yelled Optimus as he flew to Bumblebee and grabbed him, before Bumblebee even could fall.

Bumblebee looked at Prime, before he fell into static lock. Ratchet ran to them as Optimus had landed on the ground. Ratchet immediately used his tools to check on Bumblebee. "He's in a bad way. He needs energon and quick." The doc bot said worried.

Optimus nodded. "Let's go home." Said Optimus as he activated the transwarp.

Now how was that ha ? As promised, a home 'Bee ficy. Okay some explaining: The part with Lockdown going after Bee was a bit lame, I had a great idea how to let Lockdown come after Bee, but at the end I didn't know how to put it down :s The fuel part…..I needed to have something that I know it can burn like hell.

Oh well, anyway, I've hoped you enjoyed this chapter and that I'll see you next time. Oh and I'm putting up a poll (again) to let you guys vote what fic needs to be updated (or start a new fic)

R&R !
