Chapter 1: sparring/the attack
"You did not!" Arcee teased as Bumblebee threw punches at a large rubber punching bag in the Autobot base. "I don't believe it, not for a microsecond."
Bumblebee paused to wipe coolant off his helm, cycling cool air through his intakes as several femmes including Chromia, Greenlight, Nightbird, Moonracer and Elita-1 herself stood near him in the training room. Usually, femmes would work out privately, but Bumblebee was very popular among the femmes due to his cuteness and easygoing nature, plus a joke about a friend of his had them curious.
"Hand to my spark, it's the truth." Bumblebee said as he wiped coolant off his neck. "I streaked from Iacon down to Tarn, in robot mode. Those fraggers play dirty when it comes to bets."
"You must have caused quite a stir." Moonracer said with a giggle as she lifted a pair of weights one at a time.
"Yeah…I was pretty stupid to take that bet." Bumblebee said, scratching his helm nervously. "Then again, that was when I was in the academy, and you know how roommates get."
"True…" Elita said as she ran on a large treadmill, cycling air quickly as her muscular frame pumped up and down. "…you kids should hear some of the slag my roommates got up to."
"I was your roommate, Elita!" Chromia said with a smirk as she bench-pressed a huge pair of barbells marked 50,000 TONS.
"And what's your point?" Elita said as she kept running. "Did you know that she and Ironhide used to wait until I was gone to class and then they'd-hey!"
Elita staggered and yelped as Chromia playfully smacked her skidplates, making the commander rub them in annoyance as Nightbird giggled.
"Prepare yourself for monitor duty, Chromia." Elita said, annoyed at the slap to a somewhat sensitive place.
"Worth it." Chromia said with a grin as she returned to lifting her barbells.
Bumblebee blushed slightly, making Arcee smirk at his shyness. Any mech would love to be in the same room as several fembots while they were working out, but sometimes for lewder reasons. Bumblebee was just adorable how he was so shy among them, and that was part of what most femmes loved about him. As such, he was the only mech who would have the unique privilege of being in the same place as them while working out. Bumblebee was sweet and small like his name, and the femmes loved his adorable casual attitude while he was near. He just seemed to lighten the mood everywhere, and Arcee loved that about him.
"Anyway, I should probably head back to work." Bumblebee said as he turned around and opened the door. "I've got some forms to fill out."
The primary reason was that the femmes were done working out and about to take showers, but the other femmes loved how polite he was about it. A lot of mechs Bumblebee's age would gossip about watching femmes work out to their friends, using some…explicit exaggerations…in order to make themselves sound like an alpha mech who could bag any femme he wanted. But not Bumblebee. He was always respectful of their privacy and only saw what they wanted him to see, and they knew he always locked the doors after he left to ensure their bodies remained seen only by their optics.
"He's so sweet, almost makes me wish I was still single." Chromia teased as she unlatched her breastplate, then her chastity belt. "Almost. Don't get any ideas, ladies."
"Yeah, what a cutie!" Moonracer said as she removed her armor and turned on the faucet. "I could just snuggle him every time I see him."
"I could do more." Nightbird said, smirking as she stood naked and confident. "Did you see his aft?"
Arcee blushed slightly as she acknowledged Nightbird's comment, with the lewdness coming from her rival. She felt a tinge of jealousy at the ninja femme commenting on her friend's body, especially in front of her.
"Yeah, he's great." Arcee said, her faceplates flushing pink as she smiled and removed the last of her armor.
"I know that look." Elita said with a grin as she entered the showers, naked and dripping with coolant as her small breasts pressed against Arcee's back teasingly. "I was your age once too, you know. I know what it's like to have a crush."
Arcee blushed and covered her large breasts shyly, giggling a little.
"Is it that obvious?" she asked with a sigh as Greenlight smirked.
"Come on, we're all femmes here!" Moonracer said as she smiled at Arcee. "You two are so adorable together, why wont you make a move?"
"Because!" Arcee said with a bigger blush than before. "He's my best friend, I can't make him feel awkward!"
"That makes it better!" Chromia said as she teasingly tickled Arcee's spinal strut, making the femme yelp in surprise. "If he says no, you can still remain friends with minimal awkwardness. Besides, you saw the way he looked at you!"
Arcee picked up a sponge and started soaping up her frame, cleaning off dirt and grime accumulated from her workout.
"Come on…" Greenlight teased, smiling at Arcee. "…just tell him."
"I just can't…" Arcee said, sighing as she scrubbed her left leg. "…sorry ladies, I don't want to ruin our friendship."
"So, you'd rather leave yourself sparkbroken and lonely?" Moonracer asked as she scrubbed her helm. "You're the only one of us here who hasn't bonded with their loved one, and I'm scared you're never going to tell him until its too late."
"She has a point, Arcee." Chromia said, her optics taking on a sad expression. "I've seen too many young bots like you regret not making a move until it's too late. You should tell him."
"All right…I'll tell him after today's operation." Arcee said with a sigh as she soaped up her helm and scrubbed hard, washing off the last of the grime on her frame. "It's just a routine investigation, should be the right time to do so."
"You kids and your worries." Elita said with a sigh, rinsing off her frame and turning off the shower. "I remember what that's like. Just don't overthink it, act on your feelings or you might end up regretting it."
The femmes moved over to the towels and air dryers, drying off their powerful frames with mesh pads and making their bodies shine.
"Besides, if he says no, you can still be friends. You two have been friends for vorns, a little awkwardness won't matter." Elita said as she placed a hand on Arcee's shoulder.
"Thanks, ma'am." Arcee said as she sighed and started latching her armor back on. "I'll think about it."
"And what's the worst that could happen?" Chromia said as she finished with her armor and stretched, still stiff from her workout. "Any femme would give her right arm to be Bumblebee's sparkmate."
"Let's…not get too ahead of ourselves." Arcee said, blushing hot pink as she walked towards the door to the base with the other femmes. "I'll just ask him out on a date, maybe a dinner under the moons of Iacon. Just…as a start."
"Do what you feel comfortable with, of course." Elita said as she placed a servo on Arcee's shoulder as she followed the femmes out of the base and into the streets.
Arcee sighed, her servos trembling slightly as she walked down the streets of Iacon with her comrades. She knew Bumblebee very well; they had been friends for the human equivalent to 2 centuries but all they had done was joke around and hug. How would he react to her asking him to be her sparkmate? Arcee didn't think he would reject her outright, but she had doubts and worries like a lot of femmes would at her age. And those worries kept her from asking the mech she loved to bond with her.
"Besides, you never know what might happen-LOOK OUT!" Moonracer yelled as she tackled Arcee to the ground, making her yelp.
Arcee looked up and gasped as she saw several Decepticon seekers flying towards them at high speed, dive-bombing through the buildings. She pulled her gun from subspace and started shooting, hitting Dirge right on the wing with her first shot and Starscream's nosecone with her second. The other femmes moved into a defensive position, circling Elita-One as she saw Starscream spiraling to the ground.
"Seekers! What the frag are they doing here?" Arcee asked as Moonracer shot at Ramjet and hit him twice, making him transform and drop the ground.
"I don't know, I thought the defensive shields were still active!" Elita yelled as she jumped in front of Chromia, using an energon shield to deflect a laser bolt. "Get the civilians to safety and call the Autobase for backup! What happened to the generators?"
"I'll check it out, cover me!" Chromia yelled as she ran towards a building and directed several frightened femmes and sparklings towards an evacuation tunnel. "Go! We'll handle this!"
She ran towards a darkened 3-story building with a tall tower on the roof and quickly grabbed a pair of magnetic clamps from her belt, handing another to Arcee.
"Take these, we'll find out what's going on here!" Chromia said as she started climbing. "What the frag is going on with this thing?"
"Who knows, maybe cheap maintenance." Arcee said, quickly scaling the wall as Chromia continued climbing, her muscular form pumping hard as she moved quickly and looked over the roof. "Let's just hope we can get it back up before they-"
CHOOM!
A blaster bolt shot Chromia in the chest, making the blue femme fall from the roof with smoke coming from her chestplate.
"CHROMIA!" Arcee shouted, horrified as she started to climb back down.
"It's-cough! It's-okay, the armor held!" Chromia said, gripping her chestplate and wincing. "Primus, that hurt-ARCEE!"
Arcee looked up to where Chromia was pointing, seeing something that horrified her to her core. Her oil ran cold as she saw a very familiar pair of optics glaring down at her with a sword pointed right at her neck, then gasped as a hand grabbed her by the throat and held her in the air.
"Well, aren't we the little snoop." Nightbird said with a sneer as she held her blade to Arcee's neck. "You ruined my surprise."
"You…!" Arcee gasped as she struggled against the ninja's grip. "You…traitor…!"
"Name calling? What are you, a youngling?" Nightbird said as she kicked Arcee in the torso, sending her flying to the street. "The city's yours, take what you can but leave the femmes alive!"
The seekers flew past her and opened fire, shooting at Chromia as she finished latching the lid on an evacuation tunnel and stood on it, blasting at Ramjet as he swooped low to her. Arcee somersaulted and landed on the ground, diving behind a pile of empty oil drums and pulling Moonracer with her.
"It was Nightbird!" she said as she shot at Starscream, clipping a wing as he spiraled like crazy. "She took down the shields! Chromia and I caught her in the tower!"
"Nightbird…you traitor!" Elita growled as she shot at two of the seekers, missing Starscream and glancing off of Ramjet's armor. "What about the backup?"
"Comms are jammed, only local frequencies are available!" Arcee yelled as she jumped into the air and did a flying front kick to Starscream's nosecone. "And unless there's somebody still in range, we're sunk!"
"What about the evac?" Elita yelled as she looked towards the city limits.
"We've got civilians going to the exit tunnels, but unless we get some kind of distraction here, we can't help them evacuate and fend off the Decepticons at the same time!" Chromia said as she grabbed Dirge by the neck and body-slammed him into a wall, punching him and flattening his cone head with a hammerfist to the skull. "Thankfully, they don't seem to be very good shots!"
Elita stopped for a moment when she saw the way the seekers were flying, forming a big circle around the area occupied by the femmes and closing in slowly. She saw the look in their optics and the hunger they showed, and she quickly realized that death was not the object for them.
"They're not trying to shoot us." She said, horrified at her realization. "they're surrounding us to keep us from escaping!"
"What?" Arcee shouted as she shot Ramjet, making him spiral as he closed in on her.
"They aren't trying to kill us; they're trying to capture us!" Elita said, running towards Chromia's side. "I recognize this formation, it's a net maneuver! The Decepticons used to use this in the early days of the war, when they-"
Her energon ran cold as she gulped, the realization settling in as Arcee transformed into her car mode and drove away, heading towards the city limits.
"When they captured civilian femmes as prisoners of war." She said, noting the horrified looks of her comrades' faces.
"Ma'am, what are we going to do?" Moonracer asked, fear in her voice.
"Keep fighting, girls!" Elita yelled as she fired on the Seekers. "We need to break up that formation, quick! Arcee, get out of here!"
"It's a dead end!" Arcee yelled as she drove back, transforming quickly and jumping towards her fellow soldiers. "The Decepticons have the exits blocked, we're stuck in here!"
"It was all a trap." Chromia said, her optics widening as she backed up into the crowd of femmes. "They ambushed us and tricked us into this position, it was all according to their plans."
"And it was that Primus-damned traitor Nightbird who made it happen." Arcee said with a low growl. "I'd love to use her faceplate as target practice."
The femmes all stood still, waiting to see what would happen next as four of the Seekers landed and surrounded them, with four of them still flying overhead. They all felt vulnerable, trapped like Petro-Rabbits in a cage.
"Elita…what are they going to do?" Moonracer asked, fear in her voice.
Elita didn't blame her for being frightened, the poor femme was so young. She hadn't seen the horrors of the war's early days like Elita had, the torments endured by some of the bravest Autobot femmes.
"Stay strong, Moonracer." She said, aiming her guns at the Decepticon warriors walking towards them. "Hold your ground. We'll get through this."
"Well, this is a great catch." Nightbird said as she unsheathed her swords, walking towards the trapped femmes. "Female Autobots, what a prize. And some so young…"
She cupped Moonracer's chin, making her wince as she shook. The femme didn't like the way the ninja was looking her up and down with her optics, not one bit.
"Drop your weapons, now!" Nightbird said, grabbing Moonracer's neck and holding her in the air, making the femme choke. "Do it!"
"I could take her." Chromia growled as she aimed at the ninja.
"Don't, you might hit Moonracer!" Elita said, looking around the area. "We're surrounded, there's no way out. Just drop your weapons, girls."
Arcee hesitated, gritting her denta as she reluctantly lowered her pistol.
"All right…" she said, dropping it on the ground.
"That more like it." Nightbird said with a grin as she dropped Moonracer on the ground, walking towards the femmes with a few pairs of stasis cuffs. "Now, form an orderly line and we'll get this over-"
Suddenly, a beeping noise made itself known as a pair of headlights shone on Nightbird's face, surprising the ninja just before a horn honked loudly.
"Duck and cover!" Elita yelled as the Autobot femmes dove for the ground, with Moonracer rolling away from Nightbird as fast as she could.
There was a loud CRUNCH as Nightbird was hit by something yellow and black that launched off of a makeshift ramp made of a busted door and a chunk of rubble, the ninja femme being knocked to the ground. A small VW bug pinned her to the ground and drove off, scuffing her faceplate with its wheels before transforming into Bumblebee.
"Bumblebee! How did you know-?" Arcee shouted, her spark pulsing faster as she saw him.
"I wasn't that far; I heard the noise!" Bumblebee shouted as she pulled out his gun and fired at some of the Decepticons as they approached. "Why didn't you call for backup?"
"Comms are jammed!" Elita yelled as she jumped up and took Moonracer behind her, grabbing her gun and blasting at the Decepticons as they started shooting again. "Nightbird's a traitor! She trapped us here and took down the communications tower!"
"Is there anybody else with you?" Moonracer yelled, gunning down a couple of fuel tanks and blowing two seekers into the air with the impact.
"No, there's nobody else in range!" Bumblebee said as he grabbed Arcee's hand and ran towards a narrow alleyway. "Follow me, I've got a plan!"
Arcee felt her spark pulse faster as he held her servo, pulling her into the old chasm between buildings. She felt a flutter in her spark at his bravery, but now wasn't the time for compliments. She was led through a pile of old boxes and towards a big waste pipe hole in the ground, which Bumblebee kicked open.
"I used to live around here; I know the way out!" Bumblebee said as he kicked the cover away. "The old waste tunnels, they lead out to the Rust Sea. Get in fast before they see you, the tunnels are lined with lead, and they'll block the scanners. Thermal vision doesn't work there either, the pipes are cold as space."
"I can't thank you enough, Bumblebee." Elita said as she grabbed her gun and aimed at the space behind Bumblebee. "Everyone in, I'll cover you with suppressing fire!"
She opened fire, gunning down Ramjet with a shot to the chest as the already-wounded Seeker fell. Moonracer dove into the pipe's opening, followed by Chromia as she motioned to Arcee. The horrible stench of the sewage tunnels assaulted the femmes' olfactory receptors, but at least it was an easy exit. Greenlight tumbled down into the tunnel, hitting the bottom with a CRUNCH and yelping in pain as she splashed into the sewage.
"Are you okay?" Elita asked as she grabbed her and lifted her to her feet, to which Greenlight winced and let out a cry of pain.
"It's my leg…I think I broke it!" Greenlight said as she leaned on her commander's shoulder. "I can't move!"
"Let's get out of here!" Elita said as she looked towards the tunnels.
"Just…leave me behind!" Greenlight shouted. "I'll just slow you down!"
"I never leave soldiers behind." Elita said as she lifted Greenlight into her arms, carrying her into the tunnels. "Seal that entrance, quickly!"
"Wait!" Arcee yelled as she blocked Chromia from reaching the cover. "Bumblebee's still out there!"
"We can't wait, we've got injured here!" Elita shouted. "Bumblebee! Come down here!"
The sound of lightweight footsteps was heard from the sewers as they heard Bumblebee's voice panting heavily. Arcee pushed open the cover when suddenly, two laser bolts shot past her helm and clipped one of her audio receptors.
"Just go, I'll distract them!" Bumblebee shouted as he stopped 50 feet from the tunnel. "You have injured, get her to safety!"
"But-!" Arcee started to say, fear growing in her spark.
"GO!" Bumblebee yelled, firing at the Decepticons as they approached.
Suddenly, a blaster bolt hit Arcee on the side of her helm, knocking her against the tunnel wall. The last thing she saw before she fell into the tunnel and blacked out was Bumblebee shooting at the Seekers before slamming the lid down on the sewer tunnel, then a crackling noise as it was welded shut…and then everything went black.
To be continued.
