Bumblebee was shutdown for long hours he lay there in rubble energon leaking out from various wounds.
"Wake up sparkling" the deep soft voice called.
Bumblebee's optics flickered as he sat up covered in energon and in great pain.
"*Kzzzk*" Bumblebee coughed grabbing hold of his throat where energon was pouring out like waterfalls.
"Don't try and talk sparkling you have brought hope…to….this….planet…." the voice faded away.
Bumblebee nodded and pushed up onto his unstable legs taking a few steps was enough to put him back to his knees searing pain coursed through him.
A femme bot broke free out of the fallen platform rubble and pushing crumbled rocks out of her way as she finally stood on top of the rubble she looked to the ground and saw a stream of energon slowly sliding down the rubble.
"A sparkling?" Arcee breathed heavily as she followed the trail to the weak sparkling.
*Kzzzzk* Bumblebee panicked and jumped to his little feet and tried to run but only managing to trip over his own foot.
"Aw come here sweetie I wont hurt you" Arcee cooed walking calmly over to the fallen sparkling.
*Zzzzz krrrk* scared to death Bumblebee quickly scrambled under heavy rubble.
"No! dammit…." Arcee cursed herself as she got on the ground looking at the small crak the sparkling crawled in.
"Come out I wont hurt you" Arcee cooed as she saw the big watery icy blue optics look at her from the dark.
"Please…. Wait…. Bumblebee?" Arcee recognized the sparklings optics knowing he was the only bot with those coloured optics.
Bumblebee couldn't even remember his own name as primus only called him sparkling Bumblebee curled up in a ball as Arcee reached in to grab him but had know luck as small as she was she couldn't manage to grab the tiny bot.
"Bumblebee come here it's ok" Arcee cooed.
Bumblebee tilted his head not knowing who she was talking to was she talking to him?
"You don't even know your name…" Arcee got up to her feet surprised
"Damn…. Optimus come in….Optimus come in please stupid signal!" Arcee cursed as she only got static.
"Alright Optimus is not to far from here you stay there we will get you all fixed up and safe" Arcee told Bumblebee as she ran off and transformed.
Bumblebee shivered and cried in a ball for a few moments that got enough courage to climb out and trot off away from this evil place.
"OPTIMUS OPTIMUS!" Arcee called driving through other bots.
"Hey watch it!" Sunstreaker snapped as she knocked him down.
"Sorry!" Arcee apologized transforming in mid air and landing in front of Optimus.
"Arcee what is it?" Optimus asked helping her up.
"Tyger pax…" Arcee said through breaths.
"Yes what happened Megatron was there" Optimus said.
"How was the Allspark saved someone delayed Megatron who was it?" Optimus asked.
"Bumblebee!" Arcee huffed.
"….No… he's not online anymore" Optimus sighed.
"No he is he's still tiny he's hiding under rubble in tyger pax come on I'll show you!" Arcee protested running back to tyger pax.
"Hell if she says so!" Mirage followed her.
"Wait for us!" Jazz and the twins cried running after her.
"Ratchet he may be injured come on!" Optimus said waving the medic to came as the caught up with the femme.
"Arcee how did Bumblebee stop Megatron he's only four!" Optimus asked as the neared the site.
"He's a little smart guy I watched him I was about to attack Megatron when Bumblebee pulled the only rock holding the broken platform as we call it and it crumbled onto Megatron burying Megatron, me, and Bumblebee himself" Arcee told the team.
"And he survived that!" Ratchet gasped.
"Yes" Arcee nodded.
"He saved us at such a young age" Jazz said.
"Look he should be right under here" Arcee pointed to the big pieces of rubble.
"Twins, Jazz, Mirage help me lift this" Optimus ordered as he grabbed on end of the rubble.
"Primus that thing was heavy" Jazz huffed.
"Wasn't that heavy" Sunstreaker gloated.
"Yeah because we were lifting it!" Mirage and Sideswipe shouted.
"Enough!….I don't see Bumblebee anywhere Arcee are you positive?" Ratchet asked Arcee.
"Yes I'm positive look there! energon he was bleeding really bad from his throat he couldn't speak Megatron ripped and disintegrated his voice box" Arcee said pointing to the trail of energon.
"Megatron" Optimus growled.
"Nothing but static airy noises" Arcee described.
"Autobots if there's any chance Bumblebee is still alive we must search for him immediately!" Optimus commanded and started the search.
"I'll call and tell them send out search parties" Ratchet told Optimus.
"Bumblebee!" Optimus called out as he searched the empty streets.
"Optimus there is no use calling out his name I tried calling him and he tilted his head he doesn't even know his own name anymore" Arcee explained.
"I'm sure he will we just have to try" Optimus continued his way down the street.
Bumblebee curled up in a shivering ball behind boxes in the an alley way he was tired broken and starving he had know idea who the femme was and had know idea who Bumblebee was primus was fully shut down and the bad bots were still crawling around Bumblebee didn't know where to go and who to trust he wanted a home he wanted to belong somewhere.
*Kzzzzk* Bumblebee continued to try and use his voice but continued to get burst of pain.
"Bumblebee!" a strong baritone voice called walking in the same alley way Bumblebee was in.
Bumblebee lifted his head hearing the voice and footsteps get closer to him.
"Bumblebee where are you please come out!" Optimus called standing next to boxes that were on the ground.
Bumblebee pressed himself against a wall still being shielded by the box so the giant bot couldn't see.
"No such luck Ratchet but I'll keep searching this area" Optimus spoke on the COM.
Bumblebee let out a small squeak as his wings touched a pipe the was large enough for him to fit in.
"Hmmm…. Bumblebee?" Optimus called hearing the squeak.
Optimus removed the boxes that hid the small sparkling.
"Bumblebee!" Optimus said happily to the frightened sparkling that quickly crawled in the pipe.
"No no little one please come out I will not harm you" Optimus said in a soothing voice.
Bumblebee shook his head and backed up even more.
"No Bumblebee I promise I wont hurt you" Optimus said reaching fro the sparkling that continued to back away.
"No!" Optimus shrieked when Bumblebee dropped down the pipe.
Bumblebee was yet again on another long slide not knowing where he would end up this time he whimpered and squeaked as he tumbled down the long pipe, finally Bumblebee was spat out of the pipe and rolled across the ground finally coming to a halt.
Bumblebee clicked and twittered angrily cursing at the pipe tired of falling and being tossed Bumblebee looked up and saw nothing but shrapnel and rust, Bumblebee was in the abandoned part of cybertron it was old and rusted out even Megatron wouldn't visit here Bumblebee got up to his feet that were healing from self repair Bumblebee walked around the giant landscape and sighed knowing he was on another long journey he had to get back to those bots that called him Bumblebee they seemed nice maybe they would give him something to eat and a warm place to recharge.
"Ratchet get here now!" Optimus called.
"I'm here I'm here you find him he needs repairs?" Ratchet asked running over to Optimus.
"Yes he crawled in this pipe and fell down!" Optimus panicked.
"He what who knows where the pipe goes" Ratchet snapped.
"Here we go again" Arcee rolled her optics.
"Well it's gotta lead somewhere!" Sunstreaker said.
"Yeah why don't you stick your head down there and see!" Sideswipe snapped.
"Arcee didn't die and give you her bitchyness screw you!" Sunstreaker argued.
"Hey!" Arcee growled.
"Boys Arcee that's enough!" Ratchet freaked.
"We have to deal with cons and a missing sparkling now's not the time" Ratchet ranted on.
"Optimus what are you doing out here a con might see you" Ratchet asked climbing onto the roof.
"I'm thinking…" Optimus sighed.
"We'll find him Optimus…" Ratchet told Optimus.
"If he survived that long he must have had someone looking after him…" Optimus thought out loud.
"Maybe…" Ratchet sighed.
2 months later.
Bumblebee trudged on the edges of the abandoned side of cybertron.
Bumblebee huffed and sighed still in searing pain tired and hungry he kept going he didn't notice a pair of flyers flying above him.
"Optimus we've spotted something in the abandoned scrap yard" Jetfire said over the COM.
"It may be Bumblebee fly down and keep him there I'll be there very shortly!" Optimus said happily.
"You heard him boys come on lets keep the sparkling busy" Silverbolt flying down to the ground were Bumblebee was slowly making his way to the other side of the planet Bumblebee tripped over a piece of scrap metal he fell down onto his face Bumblebee sighed laying there not wanting to get up.
"Your in pretty ruff shape there little guy" Silverbolt said walking over to the fallen sparkling with his crew of aerial bots.
Bumblebee squeaked as a bot picked him up by his wings lifting his limp body into the air.
Bumblebee squeaked and yawned as he was held by Air raid.
"Aw you must be exhausted and hungry" Air raid cooed.
"Well no duh!" Jetfire smacked Air raid.
"Ouch! Hey Optimus going to follow Megatron to that planet called Earth right?" Air raid asked rubbing his helm.
"Yes we were briefed on it earlier he's leaving with Arcee, Ratchet and Bulkhead!" Skydive snapped.
"Oh riiiight!"
"Idiot"
"Hey!"
"We're here let me see him!" Ratchet and Optimus pulled up.
Air raid happily gave the sparkling to the field medic letting him patch up the old wounds and giving him a warm bottle of low grade.
"Uuuh isn't he a little old for bottles?" Skydive asked.
"Yes but seeing he hasn't grown a bit that leads to the fact that he hasn't ate in four years he's going to have to bottle fed until he gets his full strength back" Ratchet hissed.
"lets take him back to the base I'll be able to repair more there" Ratchet told the bots.
"Get out of my way!" Ratchet said pushing the twins into Mirage and Jazz.
"Ow hey we just wanted to see Bee" Sideswipe whined.
"Well I'm busy!" Ratchet growled shutting the door in their faces.
"Rude!" Sunstreaker hissed.
Two hours later
"Ratchet how is he?" Optimus asked.
"He's ok… he will heal over time I couldn't save his voice though… it's not even there… he will be able to click and chirp and all but if he wants to speak he will beep through a modulator that's all I could do…" Ratchet sighed.
"You did all you could… we have to load up now" Optimus told the medic.
"Optimus I advise we take Bumblebee with he will be safer there than here" Ratchet recommended.
"Ratchet…. But Megatron…" Optimus stuttered.
"Even though he's on that planet it's better than this planet who knows what could happen here Bumblebee could be tortured or killed or lost again" Ratchet listed everything he could think of.
"Ok lets take him!" Optimus smiled at the recharging sparkling.
