This chapter is the battle between Optimus and Bumblebee. I tried to base it off of the trailer scene where these two fought so... here it is.

"Optimus? Is that you sir?" Bumblebee asks the crouching figure. The shoulders were hunched, the arms were dangling on each side and the breathing was heavy. Bee slowly activated his right arm gun and walks towards the figure.
"Optimus? Please answer me." Shaking like a leaf, he reached out and placed a hand on the figure's shoulder.
"Leave Bumblebee." The unmistakable voice of Optimus Prime spoke. "Run and do not look back."
"Optimus...what's wrong?" Bumblebee slowly started backing up as Optimus rose to his feet.
Every step Bee seemed to take, it felt like Optimus was getting bigger. Optimus raised his head and turned to face him. Something was definitely wrong. Instead of the bright blue eyes that Bumblebee grew to recognize, he was met with dark and deadly purple eyes.
"Opt..." Bumblebee activated his second gun and held them up. "Sir, what's wrong? Please Optimus tell me!" Feeling tears cascading down his faceplate, he started backing up quicker.
"Unicron...he..." Optimus trailed off as he started to violently shake with pain. Then in the most terrifying voice Bumblebee ever heard, he screamed, "GET OUT OF HERE BUMBLEBEE!"
Whipping around, Bumblebee ran. This time he wasn't running to meet up with other bots or with human allies, this time, Bumblebee, the scout of Optimus Prime, was running out of fear for his very life. He was running from the bot who had always been by his side. The one who raise, mentored, and fathered him. He was running from Optimus Prime. His commander and chief.
Tears spilled from his eyes as he heard Optimus's screams of pain and the footsteps of his leader growing closer and closer. Bee knew he couldn't outrun the Autobot leader. He was much smaller than Optimus and Optimus had a longer foot step range. His only option of trying to survive...was to stay and fight.
Right before Bumblebee made his final decision, he felt a hand grip his shoulder and yanked him back. He flew a few feet back and landed face first. Looking up, he saw 'Optimus' walking towards him, pulling out his sword.
"Time to die, young one."
Hearing Optimus's voice say that sent terrors down the youngling's body. This was not Optimus. He would never hurt Bumblebee. But could Optimus turn sides? Think of Sentinel. He was their former leader! And he made a deal with Megatron.
Being broken out of his thoughts by a sword plunging into his shoulder, Bumblebee pulled his guns out a shot. He missed but it surely pissed 'Optimus' off.
'Optimus' grabbed Bee by the throat and held him up, squeezing the little bot.
"Op...tim...is..." Bumblebee squeaked out. Know cling his legs up towards his leader's face, he managed to break free and tumble away.
"Trying to run again aren't you little one? How pathetic. Such a disappointment you are." 'Optimus' started walking towards the weakened youngling as Bee's eyes were filling with tears once more.
'Optimus' then grabbed Bumblebee, lifted him up and stabbed his sword right through the gut. Wheezing out in pain, Bumblebee punched 'Optimus' as hard as he could and was able to pull the sword out.
Bumblebee knew he was losing too much energon. He would probably run out before 'Optimus' could finish him off.
Making up his mind, Bumblebee charged. Leaping onto 'Optimus' and was able to get a few good hits but not until his face was grabbed and his back slammed into the ground. 'Optimus' was now on top of and pinning him down. Time seemed to slow down as Bee saw 'Optimus's' arm sword fling out.
"Forgive me."
Pain was all Bumblebee knew and then...darkness.
Groaning in pain, Optimus rolled off the unconscious scout and grabbed his head. The deadly purple eyes slowly turned back into the bright blue Autobot eyes and the feeling of Unicron vanished. For now.
"Ugggg." Optimus groaned. Perking up, Optimus remembered one thing. "Bumblebee!"
Standing quickly, the great leader looked around and spotted the youngling laying down on his back.
He slowly walked over calling out Bee's name. "Bumblebee? Little one? Are you alright?"
Nothing. Not a single response came from Bumblebee. His baby blue eyes were closed, numerous dents and wounds were burning into Optimus's sight. Bumblebee's right shoulder looked as if it was dangling off and there was a massive, energon leaking hole in his gut. Worst of all... Bumblebee was still. Too still. Bee was never still. But yet looking aound him, Optimus realized that he and Bumblebee were the only two bots present.
He looked down at his hands and squeezed his eyes shut, fighting back tears. Energon and parts of Bumblebee were on him. There was only one reason. He did this. He allowed Unicron to posses him and he was not strong enough to fight back. Bumblebee could be dead and he did nothing to stop it.
Walking over to his young scout, Optimus, as carefully as he could, picked Bumblebee up, bridal style. Bee's head rolled back and his arms and legs dangled as if there was nothing there. Small wheezing breaths were coming out of Bumblebee as Optimus carried him out of wherever they were. He knew he had to find Bumblebee help.
If anything happened to Bumblebee and he didn't make it... No! Bumblebee will survive this. He has too. He's stronger and better than I ever was and will be. Optimus thought.
If Bumblebee died, Optimus Prime would die with him.
