(P.S) Bumblebee has a blade, kind of like how he has one in the Bumblebee Movie

3rd Person P.O.V.

The sun shone brightly, and birds were chirping happily in Griffin Rock. Blades was watching T.V. at the firehouse, while Chase was going over Police Procedures, Boulder was painting, and Heatwave was just being Heatwave. The Rescue Bots had just come back from a grease fire, and were taking a little break. Their human partners were eating lunch, since it was one pm.

"Guys, you know how Optimus, and Bumblebee fight decepticons." Boulder says, not looking away from the canvas.

"We all know that." Heatwave sighs.

"Well, have you ever wondered how they got that skill?" Boulder adds while painting some birds.

"Easy, they trained." Heatwave answers.

"But there are certain ways to train, which can give bots different types of skill." Chase says shutting the book close and putting it back on the shelf.

"Hey guys!" A human yells.

"Cody!" Blades exclaimed cheerfully, turning off the T.V.

Cody was the youngest member of the Burns family, and loved helping out the Rescue Bots.

"We're going to the mainland training center! Wanna come?" He asks.

"Wait, whose gonna be left at the firehouse?" Heatwave asks.

"Oh, it's gonna be Blurr, Quickshadow, and Salvage." Cody replies.

Heatwave shrugs and said,

"works for me." 

(TIME SKIP) MAINLAND TRAINING CENTER

3rd Person P.O.V.

When the bots, and humans went inside the training center everyone was talking to at least some one, or bot.

"Hey you guys wanna go someplace for sight-seeing?" Chief Burns asks.

Everyone replied 'yes' in their own way, but still the plan was approved.

They headed inside the groundbridge area, and Chief Burns typed in the location of the Grand Canyon, but a bit farther so that the Bots' cover wouldn't be blown.

When the portal opened, all the bots and humans walked inside.

After they got through the bridge it disappeared, Chief Burns was confused.

"I entered the Grand Canyon, not whatever this place is." He mumbles.

"Oh! There's a town named Jasper not far from here!" Blades pointed out cheerfully.

"Wait a minute. There's battle going on." Heatwave says pointing to a rocky area with blaster shots, and fighting noises.

"Some one could be in trouble!" Boulder says.

"It would be unwise to interfere in battle, when we are not experienced fighters." Chase points out.

"Let's just go, and hide behind rocks." Heatwave grumbles and ran toward the battle sight. The others followed to make sure he doesn't get into any trouble.

When they got to the battle sight, and hid behind some rocks while carefully watching the battle.

A heavily injured yellow and black mech, and a lightly injured blue and pink femme were fighting a faceless con, energon was littering the ground as they fought. 

"Bumblebee!" Blades screams.

The faceless con snaps his head toward them with his tentacles reaching out for him.

Slowly all of the bots stood up, so did the humans but they couldn't be seen due to the size of the rocks.

"Great now our cover is blown!" Kade, the oldest Burn sibling whines.

The faceless con kept coming closer, and closer, his two tentacles coming closer, and closer.

Until with their blades out, the mech and femme flipped in the air and they each cut off a tentacle. And defensively went in front of the rescue bots, and humans. Their blasters at ready, they wouldn't let any harm come to them.

"You aren't coming any closer to them Soundwave." The femme says bitterly.

Soundwave, with one of his extra tentacles reached to grab a metal part, and opened another groundbridge. 

The mech nods at the femme and ran as fast as he could with his injuries, and tried to get the piece of metal, but with his fourth tentacle electrocuted him, but not hard enough to knock him out cold.

He went through the portal, as it shut behind him.

<Arcee, you okay?> The mech asks.

The femme walks to him and puts a servo on his slightly burnt shoulder plate

"I'm fine Bee." Arcee says as took her servo off, and with it she clutched her injured arm.

"What about you all?" Arcee asks looking behind her.

"We're good, thanks for the save." Boulder says.

"No problem." She says as she turned to Bumblebee.

"Bee, you okay?" She whispers to the yellow and Black bot.

<I'm fine Cee. Thanks.> He beeps as he shakily clutched his midsection, which was leaking energon. 

Blades felt a slight tinge of jealousy at the two of them calling each other nicknames. Dani, Chief Burns only daughter must have noticed because she asked.

"Blades, you good?" Blades looked down at the woman, his partner. He nods his head 'yes' to avoid further conversation.

Soon Arcee commed some bot named Ratchet for a ground bridge.

*Ratchet, we need a ground bridge. Oh yeah, we're gonna need the med bay.* Arcee commed.

*I don't know what you two did, but come on.* Ratchet says annoyed.

A swirling portal of green and blue appeared, and Arcee gestured the rescue bots, and their humans to go through first. After the bots went through, Arcee went into the bridge, then finally Bumblebee limped into the bridge before it closed.

BASE

After Bumblebee got through the bridge he was about to collapse on the ground, but Ratchet put Bee's arm around his shoulder to keep him steady, and carefully brought him into the medbay, and Arcee followed.

Ratchet placed Bumblebee on a berth, and had Arcee sit on the berth next to it, while he worked on her arm.

"Who were you fighting?" Ratchet asks.

"Soundwave." Arcee grumbles.

"Do you look for trouble, or does trouble find you two." Ratchet mutters to himself.

"Oh yeah, we found Rescue Bots, and their humans." Arcee says.

"Rescue Bots!?" Ratchet exclaims.

This was loud enough to bring the actual rescue bots into the med bay.

"You called for us?" Boulder asks.

"I- No." Ratchet replies as he finished fixing Arcee's arm.

She stood up and walked over to the berth Bumblebee was on.

"Bee, thanks for the save." she whispers as she put her servo on top of his.

<Anytime 'Cee.> Bumblebee replies as he put his other servo on top of Arcee's.

She smiled at him before she left the med bay to fill Optimus in on what happened.

Blades saw it all. "Did those two have feelings for each other?" He thought to himself.

"Um, Ratchet is it?" Blades asked.

"Yes, yes what is it?" Ratchet asks.

"Can I come in to see Bumblebee?" He asks.

"Sure, just don't break anything I need." Ratchet replies.

Blades smiles before walking to the berth, and sat down next to it. He took a look over Bumblebee's injuries and winced, how could a bot take this much damage?

"Hey Bumblebee." Blades said shakily.

<Blades.> Bumblebee replies.

"Why do you do this?" Blades asks.

<Do what?> Bumblebee questions.

"Fight, all the time. Don't you think you could take a step away from violence." Blades asks.

<Blades, none of us asked for war. And we wish we didn't have to fight all the time. But if we didn't, or at least do something for the war. Then you would have to rely on others, and they won't always be there for you.> Bumblebee replies.

Blades let these words sink into his processor. Before another question came to his mind.

"Were the Rescue Bots useless during the war?" Blades asks.

<Blades, no. They were probably the most important part. Most rescue forces were neutral, and saved whichever side, but some chose a side and were there at every mission to rescue their faction which were stuck, wounded all that.> Bumblebee replies, as he winced. His wounds were starting to rub off of him.

"Blades, you're gonna need to leave. I need to work." Ratchet says gently.

Blades nodded and exited the med bay as quickly as he arrived.

He met up with the rest of his group, and stayed with them.

Soon they heard big booming pedsteps. And look up to see the one and only Optimus Prime.

"Optimus Prime, sir." Heatwave says with respect.

"No need for formality Heatwave, same goes for the rest of you all. I heard about the mission, and you saw most of it, correct?" Optimus asks in his deep commanding voice.

"Oh yeah! It was AWESOME!! Bee, and Arcee were like, 'hah! Hah! Hi-YAAAH!! And then they were like SLICE! Oh Optimus it was great!" Kade says making terrible fighting moves as he described what he saw.

"But it was dangerous Kade, someone besides the two could've gotten hurt." Graham, the smart sibling says seriously as he pushed up his glasses.

"Graham is correct, someone besides my two warriors could have been harmed in some way. But now that the decepticons know of your presence, you are in grave danger." Optimus says.

"Heh, Prime don't worry. If the cons DO try to lay a claw on them, the next place their going is the scrapyard!" An army green bot says, putting his fist into his open servo.

"And, who may that be?" Chase asks.

"Me, I'm Bulkhead!" He replies happily.

Boulder took a closer look at every bot, even Bumblebee and Ratchet in the med-bay and saw that they were covered in battle scars, and slight scratches, and chipped paint. "How many battles have they been in?" Boulder wondered.

He was always a peaceful bot, and could never imagine a life with violence.

"Prime, didn't you say you would look into the piece of metal based on the visual Bee brought in?" Arcee asks.

"Yes, thank you Arcee. And while I am in other tasks, and with Bumblebee in the med-bay. You will be in charge for the time being." The red and blue Prime says.

"Understood." Arcee replies.

Heatwave was amazed at the Prime's capabilities, he was able to make even the most unfriendliest team members listen to him, he could never do that with Blades, and everyone else.

Chase thought about the war, basically every bot who fought in it, except for the medics of course were practically war criminals at this point. Most likely after the war, they could be put in prison? "I can't think like that!" Chase thought to himself. They would be respected, and appreciated them for their efforts into saving Cybertron.

This journey, had only just begun
