(BUMBLEBEE'S P.O.V)

Clouds covered the sky, as the sun shone dimly through the mist. Guess it meant that I won't be able to take Raf to go racing.

"Hey, Bee?" Raf asks.

<What's up Raf?"> I reply.

"Well, my mom said I had to go home early, so can you drop me off?" He asks.

<Of course.> I say

I transformed into a yellow and black Urbana 500, and opened my doors so Raf could hop in.

When he gets inside, and puts on his seatbelt I drive out of base, passing deserts on the way.

(TIME SKIP) RAF'S HOUSE

When we got to Raf's house, I opened my doors and he climbed out.

"Thanks again Bee!" Raf says.

<Anytime buddy!> I beep.

I wait until I see Raf go inside his house.

Then I start to drive back to base, I was in the desert, until I see Vehicons.

I skid to a stop and transform. My blasters ready for battle.

Until I heard a voice which made my doorwings drop.

"The Autobot Scout. All alone and surrounded by decepticons. Do tell me, what are you doing in such a wide desert anyway?" I hear Megatron say.

<Where I was doesn't concern you, neither does where I'm going.> I beep with anger.

"Very well, you would've made a great decepticon! Why choose to be with the pathetic autobots instead?" Megatron asks.

I stay silent.

"Your answer doesn't matter to me, DECEPTICONS, ATTACK!!" Megatron yells

The vehicons start blasting me, but I take them all out with ease.

Then, only me and Megatron were left. But I knew better than to try to fight him, so when I was about to call for back up. He started the fight by blasting me. I avoided it easily, and start blasting him in the face, then kicked him in the back of the knee joints. 

But then he grabbed my leg and slammed me into the ground before stabbing his blade into my knee joint. It kept going in, deeper, deeper. 

<AARRGGHH> I whirr in pain

"Some Bot, wanted the scout to lose his voice, some bot wanted Tailgate, and Cliffjumper to die. When will they tell me who they are!!??" Megatron mutters to himself angrily.

I listened in to every word, this was definitely important.

The pain felt like the pit, Primus does this bot have any mercy?? Until the pain stopped , I look to see that Starscream had commed Megatron.

:Lord Megatron, we have a bit of an, issue on the ship.: Starscream says.

"Very well, Starscream." He says annoyed.

Megatron then turns to me and said,

"You were lucky this time, next time won't be so convenient." Megatron says with pure hate in his voice.

He transformed and flew off.

I was leaking energon badly, Ratchet wasn't gonna be happy

Then I commed Ratchet for a ground bridge.

Soon a swirling portal of green and blue appeared in front of me as I limped toward it.

(TIME SKIP) AUTOBOT BASE

(Arcee's P.O.V.)

When Bee came in through the bridge, he looked like a mess. I saw that he was limping as well, so I decided to help him like how he's helped me all those other times.

I walk over to him and put his arm over my shoulder.

"Bee, what happened?" I ask quietly.

<Megatron.> Was all Bee said.

"Come on, let's get you to Ratchet." I say.

I take him to the medbay where Ratchet was in for a surprise.

"What happened?" He asks.

<Megatron> Bee said again.

"Get on a berth, and Arcee please leave." Ratchet says.

I leave the medbay annoyed. Ratchet never let's me stay in there, but when Prime or Bulkhead are in there, he would let me. As if he doesn't want me to see Bumblebee. He's a comrade of ours, and a friend of ours NOTHING ELSE!!

(TIMESKIP) NIGHT; ARCEE'S BERTHROOM

Ratchet's P.O.V.

I was right outside of Arcee's berthroom. I felt bad for making her leave the medbay, but I know that she has feelings for Bumblebee. When you're the medic, you know all.

I quietly knock on her door, and the reply I got was not that bad, considering the fact that this was ARCEE.

"Come in." she says bitterly.

I open her door and head inside, and sit next to her on her berth where she was sitting with both her knees drawn up to her chest.

"Arcee, I am truly sorry for not letting you stay in the medbay. But I know you like Bumblebee, and I didn't want you to see him in that way. I just couldn't tell you there, because we don't know if Bumblebee feels the same." I say quietly.

"Ratchet, thanks for thinking about me. But next time, could I stay in the medbay?" She ask.

"As long as you stay calm, yes." I say.

"Thanks Doc." She replies.

"Don't make me throw a wrench." was all I said before leaving her room.

That went better than expected, as I head to my berthroom for a much needed recharge.

(TIME SKIP) MORNING MAIN AREA
Bumblebee's P.O.V.

I was still in the medbay when I woke up from recharge. My leg felt better than it did yesterday, so that was good.

I soon heard Ratchet coming in, gotta prepare for the wrench.

"Bumblebee, how was recharge?" He asks me.

<It was fine.> I replied.

"Good, now let's see that leg of yours." He says.

As he scanned my leg, the scanner turned yellow at the knee joint of my leg.

"If you want to keep moving around, I could give you a crutch, or you could stay in the medbay." Ratchet told me.

<Can I think about it for a bit?> I ask.

"Sure, you want Arcee in here too, just to help you decide?" He asks.

<Okay, that would be nice.> I reply.

Soon I see Arcee's helm through the medbay entrance. She walks over to me full of joy.

"Finally he let me in." She says.

"How you feeling Bee?" She asks.

<Better than yesterday, but I got a choice.> I tell her.

"A choice?" Her helm perks up. "What type of choice?"

<I can either stay in the medbay until my leg heals, or I can use a crutch to get get around.> I beep.

"Use the crutch, I need to see you more." She says.

I smile behind my mouthplate. But it soon turned serious, because of what I heard Megatron say.

"Bee, what's wrong?' Arcee asks with a look of concern on her face.

<Arcee> I began quietly. <During the fight, Megatron said something which he definitely didn't want the Autobots to know.> I stopped because Arcee looked like she had questions.

"What did he say?" She asks.

<Well, he said some bot wanted me to lose my voice, and that the same some bot wanted Cliff, and Tailgate to die. And the thing is, Megatron doesn't know who the 'some bot' is.> I finish.

Arcee had a look of shock on her face. 

"OH MY PRIMUS. Optimus needs to know, I'll bring him in here." Arcee says.

<Good, now go!> I beep.

Arcee races out of the medbay, and because Optimus wasn't far, she came back in pretty quickly. When Arcee came back in, booming footsteps were coming in too. These pedsteps easily belonged to Optimus. When he fully came in the medbay, his face was serious as usual but you could see some concern in his optics.

"Bumblebee, what did Megatron say?" Optimus asks in his usual deep voice.

<He said some bot wanted me to lose my voice, and that the same some bot wanted Cliff, and Tailgate dead. Also he was angered because that 'some bot' didn't tell Megatron who they are.> I answer.

"If this is true, then Bumblebee once you are fully healed. Do you think you will be able to go on another scouting mission?" Prime says.

<Anytime.> I reply

"Then when the time is right, you will sneak aboard the Nemesis. And do not do anything that will endanger your life, understood?" Prime asks.

<Understood.> I reply.

Now that this is confirmed, I have quite a journey ahead of me.
