Chapter 20: Captured
"Go fish!"
Iris was playing go fish with the others as the Autobots were preparing camp. "|Bee, what are you doing!?|" Bumblebee was trying to hear the sparklings' spark beat while StarScream sat there. "|I'm just trying to hear one of the sparklings' spark beat...|" Illusion smacks her faceplate before she went over to UltraMagnus to help him gather wood. "|You're making him feel awkward just so you know!|" She leaves with UltraMagnus before Bumblebee could respond back. "|Sorry StarScream...|" StarScream chuckles a bit as he sat down, looking towards the humans. "It's fine, I'm just so nervous. The sparklings are coming so soon and I don't know if-" Bumblebee gives him a hug, trying to calm him down. "|It's okay to be nervous. After all, you have us until you have the sparklings.|" StarScream smiles softly as they continue talking with each other.
"|Magnus!!!! You can't cut the tree down!|" She was holding a couple of branches as UltraMagnus tried to cut a tree down. "Why not? We need wood." She slaps the back of his head before handing him the wood. "|Trees are alive for your information. They help clean the air around us and if we cut the tree, you're literally killing something that keeps this planet healthy.|" UltraMagnus held the woods near his chest as they walked around. "sorry..." Illusion sighs heavily before patting his shoulder. "|You didn't know so it's understandable.|" She continues grabbing a few branches as they continue walking around the forest. "So, how are you and Mirage doing?" She shrugs a bit as she continues collecting wood. "|Fine I guess. So when are you asking Smokescreen out?|" UltraMagnus blushes a bit, as Illusion chuckles a bit. "What do you mean...?" Illusion turns around, her arms already crossed. "|Magnus. Buddy. Everyone knows that you're all over him. You even fucking mumble his name in your sleep, which is creepy pal.|" UltraMagnus blushes more, as he held the branches closely to his chest. ".... whatever. I think we have enough wood for the fire." They walk back to the camp, not knowing someone was following them.
"|And they're back. Where have you been? You guys have been gone for an hour.|" Illusion nudges UltraMagnus's shoulder as he punches hers. "I BLAME Illusion. She got us lost." "|Say the mech that literally pointed the opposite direction!|" Optimus separates them before they have a fist fight. "Doesn't matter. You're back and that's important. Plus, right on time." Optimus grabs the wood they collected and put some on the fire that was slowly dying. "It's better if Rachet goes with them next time. AT LEAST he remembers where the camp is." UltraMagnus and Illusion glare at WheelJack for making that comment. "|Hmph!|" Illusion walks over to Bumblebee, sitting by his side. "|Howdy!|" Bumblebee glances at her before motioning her to StarScream. "|You think he'll give birth to the sparkling soon?|" Illusion looks over at StarScream who was scowling Mirage and CliffJumper for accidentally setting a bush on fire. "|Yeah, I mean. His belly is getting bigger and it's possible he'll give birth tomorrow or something.|" Bumblebee chuckles a bit before getting a feeling that someone was watching them. He turns around, seeming concerned. "|Something wrong Bee?|" Bumblebee looks back at Illusion, after making sure there was no one behind them. "|I thought someone was spying on us....|" Illusion looks back, now concerned. "|....when me and UltraMagnus were collecting wood, I thought I saw someone behind us but nothing was there.|" Bumblebee and Illusion kept their guard, knowing something was off.
The group of humans were all sleeping peacefully, as well as the Autobots. Illusion's optics suddenly open. She looks around, hearing someone walking around. "|Bee get up!|" Bumblebee wakes up, feeling Illusion's violent shaking. "|What's wrong...?|" Illusion gets up, her blade already out. "|I heard someone....|" Bumblebee gets up, his gun already loaded. They circle around the others as they look towards the dark forest. "|I'll wake Optimus-|" A blast headed straight for Illusion. Bumblebee jumps at her, pushing her before the blast hit her. "|THERE!!!|" Bumblebee shot towards the dark silhouette as Illusion got up. "What's going on!?" Mirage wakes up, as the others started waking up. "|We're under-|" Bumblebee was suddenly knocked out, being carried by Soundwave in his arm, as the other had a blade going straight through Illusion's chest. "ILLUSION!!!" Illusion falls to the ground, her optics flickering. Mirage shots at Bumblebee as UltraMagnus grabbed Illusion and carried her towards Rachet. "YOU'LL PAY FOR THAT!!!" Optimus was running towards Soundwave, his blade already out. Soundwave moves his blade towards Bumblebee's neck, who was still knocked out. /"Take another step and he dies along with your sparkling..."/ Optimus stops, as well as the others. Soundwave begins to fly away with Bumblebee. Iris ran towards them and grabs onto Bumblebee's foot without Soundwave knowing. "I-" Arcee covers CliffJumper's mouth, quickly realizing what Iris was doing. "We gotta go after them!" Charlie yelled, as she got onto Mirage who already was in his alt mode. "Let's follow them." The others follow/track Iris's phone as Arcee and Rachet stayed behind with Illusion. They continued following them until Iris's beacon suddenly disappeared. "Oh no..."
Soundwave arrives at the base, carrying Bumblebee on his back. Iris held onto Bumblebee's foot tightly, before climbing on him, trying to hide herself better. Soundwave puts Bumblebee in a cell as Vehicon guards stood in front of them. /"Keep him in there till Megatron arrives..."/ He leaves as the guards stay in front of the cell. Iris starts to shake Bumblebee to wake up as she looks at her surroundings. "|Ugh...|" "Bee!" She hugs him as he sits up. "|What's going on Iris....?|" He looks around before looking back at his human friend. "They took you Bee! I tried to help by giving the others our location but my phone fucking died." She hands her phone to Bumblebee. Bumblebee thought for a minute until he pulled out a chord and started charging the phone.
"|We'll be here for a while....|"
