Okay guys, flashback time! This long chapter will explain some of the things in the story, like Optimus not wanting to lose her AGAIN! Action will pick back up in the next chapter! Oh by the way I use a lot of cybertronian time units so if you want to know that each time unit means (like mega cycle) go to /wiki/Units_of_time
Sorry about this being so late! I had a little bit of writers block, plus my friend spent the night 2 nights in a row and I had been out at my barn for like 24 hours straight! So since I've gotten back I've been sleeping like all the time! But my mom got sick so it seems that I'm going to have a lot of time at home to write since I cannot drive!

THE AUTOBOT BASE; THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIEW
The sky was starting to turn from orange to a light blue in what seemed to be only a matter of kliks when it was actually about one mega cycle. Many of the other mechs were already out of recharge and about in the base when Bumblebee sped up.
The doors of the slick yellow Camaro opened and Sam jumped, or more like was thrown, out of the car. This was unusual for the young Scout. He cared for Sam more than anything they'd ever seen! How he would ever do something that could even give Samuel James Witwicky a scratch was crazy.
Bee quickly sped past everyone not stopping to talk. He was headed to where everyone's quarters were located.
An intrigued yet concerned Chromia swiftly moved in order to follow him. A less excited Ironhide followed, giving confused glances at the other bots as they went back to their regular morning routines.
Transforming by doing a summersault Bumblebee then he pushed himself from the floor into a jump and land only a few feet from the doors of Optimus' quarters. As Bee knocked on the door all his fear about confronting Optimus was replaced with guilt, sorrow, and worry.
"So, what were you and Arcee up too out there?" Chromia asked with a wink as she strolled up. But Bee said nothing, as if she wasn't there.
Not wanting to upset the mech anymore than he already was, Chromia decided to pop a joke, "Listen I know you two were out together, me and Ironhide figured it out. So where is she? Did you lose her or something?"
Bee just gave her the most devastated look ever! But she could tell it wasn't from her, miss blabber mouth, finding out about his trip with Arcee. It was because the answer to her last question was a yes.
Chromia started to spring and energon leak in her optics when Ironhide walked up. She grabbed him tightly around his arm and just cried. Ironhide was really confused now. He rubbed her back gently while looking at Bumblebee, "what did you do?" he asked with a heavy glare demanding and explanation.
"Well aren't you guys up early," Elita One said a little sleepily, as she opened the door. She just been woken up out of recharge. "What do you need?"
"It's about your daughter…" Bumblebee started, before being cut off by Elita, to tired for a long conversation.
"Oh yes, Arcee. Listen, we thought, she would ask you if she could go with you to pick up Carly. We decided that since she's due for an upgrade that she should get out a little so she can be prepared. But we want to have two escorts go with you," Elita told them. All the sudden she looked up. She noticed the sadness in everyone there and knew Bumblebee asking her wasn't what was going on.
"Oh no! Optimus come here," she yelled over to her spark mate, with energon also running down her check plates.
Optimus ran over, "What's the matter?" He asked mimicking Ironhide's position.
"Airreon…was captured…by Megatron," Bee said, energon collecting in his optics as well.
Everybot gasped. Megatron was back in action? He had Arcee?
"Sir we were…" Bumblebee started in when he was interrupted by Optimus.
Optimus had a similar expression on his face as Bumblebee but on the inside he felt 100 times worse. "I have a pretty good idea of what happened but you will explain later! Now we need to get all autobots out there before Megatron finds out that she is mine….a Prime," Optimus had more fear in his voice then he'd ever let on before. He pushed past them, running to where the other bots were.
"Everyone," Optimus announced, "I need you front and center…NOW!"
The Autobots hurried over, hearing the concern and uneasiness in his voice. "What is it boss bot? Should it be a concern for Major William Lennox?" One of the other bots asked.
"No time. Airreon was captured by-by Megatron. We need to get there before anything happens to her or before he learns anything," everyone gasped at the news and looked over to Bumblebee. They now knew why he was so urgent earlier. "Bumblebee will lead us to the place they took her, and from there we will track them to their new base, may that be in near or far," as he informed everyone of the plan many of the other bots shocked faces turned to frowns of curiosity. Each and every Autobots started to have ideas on why Bumblebee and Arcee were out together.
"Autobots, get ready to transform and roll," Optimus started to say his famous words when he noticed his spark mate running toward him.
"Wait! I want to go with you," she yelled.
"No! It's too dangerous! Plus if Megatron gets his hand on all of my family…." He paused, thinking about the horrible things that would happen.
"But she's my daughter," Elita One said back.
"Then stay here in case she comes back! She will most likely need medical attention," Optimus pleaded.
Elita sighed. On the inside she knew he was right and she finally gave in, "Fine, just promise both of you come back."
Optimus nodded, though he knew what happened that last time he made such promises. "Roll out," he yelled.
As everyone transformed Chromia walked past Bumblebee to Ironhide so they could drive together. "You were right Ironhide, my best friend does need someone who can protect her," she said smugly to Ironhide loud enough that Bee could hear.
And with that they were off to find everyone's favorite femme, with the hopes she was okay.
Optimus thought about what HAD happened eons ago.
Since before they'd been reconstructed by Alpha Trion he and Elita One had a romance going on. When the war still looked in favor of the Autobots he and Elita had spark merged, creating Airreon Prime One. Soon after that, however, the war got worse and Optimus plus many other mechs, including a fairly young Bumblebee, had to leave for Earth on the ARK. Elita and a few other femmes wanted to go with them so his daughter could be more heavily protected by all the strong mechs. But because Optimus was certain Megatron would follow his arch enemy and told them it was too dangerous but that they should watch over Cybertron instead. Because of her importance as a Prime, Airreon was given an undercover name; Arcee, which she grew to love over time. She bravely fought alongside her mother against shockwave and his minions, even with the lack on energon, while everyone was on Earth. Optimus had promised he would be back, but never had the chance to return. He became cold and almost emotionless for a while, until they met Sam. Sam temporarily filled the whole in everyone's heart for having to lost their friends and families.
The femmes on Cybertron finally had to split up into groups and leave the dead planet in hopes for finding energon and family. Elita One, Arcee, and Chromia spilt up in one group searching the Milky Way galaxy. To their luck they received a message from Optimus inviting 'any surviving Autobots taking refuge among the stars' to join them on Earth. The ecstatic femmes arrived just in time for Optimus' death. This put a lot of stress on them. They were already actively involved in the war on Earth but with this they became more serious. In Egypt they fought super hard so that Sam could save the big mech resulting in many injuries to all three, the worst being to Arcee. Optimus felt very guiltily because of this and decided to put Arcee in extensive warrior training before letting her back out alone.
I should've known that I couldn't prevent the worst. It was destiny for her to have her first confrontation with Megatron and I should not have been as overly protective as I was, he thought.
Meanwhile in the convoy many conversations were going on in private comlinks. Some included Bee and others did not.
The ones that did were usually mechs harassing Bumblebee.
Sideswipe and Sunstreaker were also upset since they liked Arcee, however, the two tried to make the light of things to put themselves more at ease and to seem strong.
"Hey 'messenger' I think you totally found a new way to upset boss bot," Sideswipe said a in a private comlink with his brother Sunstreaker and with the little mech that caused it all, Bumblebee.
"Yeah, go on a 'date' with his daughter," Sunstreaker joked playing with the word 'date'.
Bumblebee didn't answer. He felt sick inside. They're right you know. How could've you brought Airreon out and lose her? You're an idiot for disobeying Optimus and liking his daughter alone. He thought.
Noticing Bee's uneasiness because of his lack of an answer, a more sympathetic Sunstreaker tried to comfort him a little, "Hey she'll be fine. If Megatron is trying to get to Optimus by doing this then he won't kill Arcee now will he? Besides she is the toughest femme I've ever met. If anybody can withstand it all it will be her. And maybe she will use her special power on him."
"She hasn't even discovered it yet," Sides said coldly.
Bumblebee just sped up trying to get away from it all.
The little scout and the boss bot were both lost in thought. This was going to be a long drive for them.
THIS WAS A LITTLE DIFFICULT TO WRITE. IN CASE YOU HAVENT FIGURED IT OUT ALREADY THIS IS KINDA A MIX OF THE NEW TRANSFORMERS MOVIES AND THE G1 SEREIES, SO MAKING THE TWO MATCH UP STORY WISE WAS INTERESTING. TELL ME IF I DID A GOOD JOB! AND I PROMISE ACTION WILL BE IN THE NEXT CHAPTER OR TWO.
SHEABEE IS OUT! PEACE!
