Bumblebee's optics were locked on the control panel as the sound of the trooper's powerful footsteps were incoming from down the halls. He had to ignore the bickering of the cadet and their catch. He had somewhere to be and time was of the essence.
The Space bridge activated, a dazzling display of green and white. Bumblebee turned to Strongarm and said, "Alright you and Sideswipe get going!"
Strongarm gulped, "B-but sir, the code 427-"
"Strongarm. If there's any advice you can take from me before I go, it's that those are guidelines. Not straightforward," He pointed to her head, "Your brain module is your greatest tool. That's what you listen to the most."
"Bumblebee..."
He heard it again. Optimus' voice calling out to him from... the well of sparks he supposed. He turned to Strongarm and gestured for her to go. Strongarm's confliction was clear as day, but she was a good bot. She'd listen. Without further delay, as the guards came in, he ran towards the portal. He didn't notice two things: the split nano second flash of blue around the portal and the cadet along with the arrested Cybertronian that followed right behind him.
He couldn't have predicted what happened next and what new adventure lay ahead, at least not for himself.

Bumblebee felt strange as he traveled through space and time. He felt something was amiss. His body felt odd, especially around his head and certain parts of his framework. Not something uncommon when entering a Space Bridge after a long time, but even this feeling was off to the young Mech.
"Bumblebee... "
That was his main focus. Optimus' voice calling out to him. Considering what had transpired throughout his life, this wasn't the most insane thing to do. And he could feel it in his spark. He could feel that calling as well as hear it.
As always, he'd follow Optimus' leadership without question. He never led him astray.

The next thing he knew, he was out of the portal and in some remote area. Trees, rocks, and mountains of some valley, pure wilderness that belonged to Earth. It was a refreshing experience to have again, bringing back some good times. Years in Earth time, but for Bumblebee, it was only the blink of an eye.
And what a blink it was. In such a short time, Team Prime brought down the likes of Megatron all the way to Unicron himself then bringing Cybertron back to life. It was spectacular and unforgettable.
The Spacebridge closed behind him and Bumblebee sighed. It wasn't a one way trip, but it certainly would be a long one. Especially if Optimus was calling him there.
He activated his scanner and walked onward to the nearest signal. A strong Cybertronian signal not too far off. That was unusual considering no Cybertronians were supposed to be here. At all. This made Bumblebee furrow his brow and pick up the pace into the forest. A clear sign something was off, especially given that it was a signal pods used during the war. It brought back familiar memories.
In fact, as he walked on, more and more memories were coming. As he past by foliage and truly took on the scenery of mountains, trees, and shrubbery, it became clear that this was the first place Bumblebee had landed back on his first time on Earth. And the leftover signal was right at the exact spot where his pod landed. This was beyond a coincidence. He was sprinting now, he had to find out what was happening and pronto.
What he came upon shocked him. It was his pod. The crater was fresh and so were the small fires around it. His pod had just arrived. Again.
"What the frag?" Muttered Bumblebee as he cautiously walked closer to it and studied everything. The pod was empty and completely like it was when he left it the first time. Once he was in front of it, that's when it hit him.
