Ally or Enemy?

Chapter 5: Raff begs and THEY'RE GONE!

I don't own transformers.

Raff pov

I groaned. It took me a moment to figure out I was in Bee's backseat. I tried to sit up but hissed as pain shot through me and I clutched my mid-section, as most of the pain came from there. "Are you alright?" beeped Bee concerned. I nodded "Y-yeah, my ribs hurt a bit, but I'm okay." I muttered. I fought to remember what I did to get hurt. "Bee, what happened? Where are we going?" I asked. "There was an attack on the school. I'm taking you to the base so Ratchet can fix you up." I nodded then remembered, "OH SLAG, IS AIRIELA OKAY?" I yelped both in pain and fear for my friend. Bee was silent for a moment. "I don't know, Raff."

We got to the base and Ratchet set to my injuries at once. I was relieved when Bulkhead and Arcee brought Jack and Miko to the base. Miko had to restrain herself from hugging me because of my wounds. "Oh, Raff, we were so worried. We saw the school roof come down on you and your friend!" she choked. I froze in horror. The roof fell on Air and me? Was Air okay? "Did you see Air anywhere?" I asked in a panic. They shook their heads "Bulk and Arcee got us out of there before Starscream saw us." said Jack. I started to hyperventilate. I had no clue if my new friend was dead or not!

Just as they started trying to calm me down my phone rang. I answered "Hello" Raff? my heart skipped a beat happily. "Air! You're okay!" I sighed in relief. Of course. Did you expect anything better than total health? I laughed "Not really. I was just worried." Don't fear me, Friend. I'll always back thee. "Nay, Marry, I will fear thee. For thou art reckless." Bee beeped behind me "That's it young man, no more Shakespeare" I was about to retort when I heard the exact same thing said on the other end of the line only in English. "Who art with the in thy hidden castle?" I joked. There was hesitation then Tis none other than mine overly-guarding nurse. But, now, friend, I bit the farewell to the marrow. before she hung up I heard the same voice from before say "Give me one good reason to take you to see 'A Mid-Summer's Night Dream'."

I slid my phone back into my pocket and ran over to Bee and gave him 'the eyes'. An awesome tool that Miko taught me to master for begging. Now, only Optimus could resist me. Even Miko, the mistress of begging, couldn't say no. It wasn't something I pulled out every day, so Bee wasn't expecting it. "Bee?" I said as sweetly as possible. I heard Jack whisper to Arcee "I think he just gave me a cavity." and Miko to Bulkhead "Wow, whatever he wants it must be huge if he's pulled out 'the eyes'." fortunately, Bee didn't hear them. "There's a showing of 'A Mid-Summer's Night Dream' tonight. Can we go? Pleeeeeeeeeasssseee!"

Arcee pov

I laughed as Bumblebee fought 'the eyes'. He whirred and looked away from the begging face. I think he might have been able to resist if he hadn't looked at his charge again. Raff wasn't backing down. Jack leaned over again "Whoa, he really want to see that play. Do you think something's up?" he muttered. I, too, was a bit caught off guard at the request. Normally, Raff only uses that look for something he knew he would be refused from if he didn't. Bee would have taken the boy anyway, so why the look? "I think so. Raff's up to something." Jack grinned and I picked up on his plan. "Well, Bee, while you fight against that look, Arcee, let's go for a drive." I transformed and Jack got on. Miko called "Hold on, we'll come, too." Bulkhead nodded and the four of us drove out. "You guys in on this?" Jack asked through the com. link. "Well, duh, Raff is so up to something. Starscream could see that," said Bulkhead.

Bumblebee pov

I sighed and gave into the look on my boy's face. I transformed and opened my door. "If you start quoting this play there will be no more. Got it?" I bleeped. Raff nodded as he quickly fastened his seat belt.

Normal pov

Two identical cars drove to the same theater, with the passengers both wanting the same thing. They were both so busy telling their charges off for quoting Shakespearean plays that neither noticed their twin pulling up along side them or the dark-winged jet flying over them, Hellbent on revenge against the two. Starscream knew the best way at the two Autobots was through their charges. Hurt them, then the bots. So, he made his move. He swooped down and attacked the cars, knocking them off the road and their charges unconscious. He approached the injured yellow car and nearly ripped his door off and grabbed the brunette. The boy's glasses fell from his face as he was pulled out. Bumblebee tried to transform but was too drained of energon. He slipped into stasis.

Then, the Decepticon turn to the already offline Wasp and took his waking human. Starscream had to admit the girl was stronger then she looked. Her eyes opened and glared daggers at him. As if daring him to try anything with her. He smirked and flew away with the two. Yes, this would be far better than anything he could do to the bots.

Wasp pov

I woke up and groaned. Pain shot through me as I did so. I fought to remember what happened. I was taking Air to the theater for the play, then I was blasted off the road. I felt panic strike me. "Airiela!" I cried looking for my human. "AIR!" I called in a panic. Then, from the other side of the road, I saw a familiar yellow car on its side. It must have been blasted as well. I went to Bumblebee's side quickly, but cautiously. His door was out of place. As though someone opened it roughly or tried to rip it off. I ignored this for the time being and looked around. If he was here, other's weren't far off. "Man, Raff is going to get upset when he sees your state." at the boy's name, Bumblebee awoke. His optics opened slowly at first, then flew wide and he bolted up and looked around. He let out panicked beeps. I blinked as my processors translated these noises into words. "Raff? Raff! Where are you? RAFF!" I realized, for the first time, both our humans were gone!
