Transformers: Dark Cybertron

Vacation gone Wrong

One Month Earlier: Bee was enjoying his vacation as he went hiking with Charlie. The two walked around the mountains as he looked around, "So this is another one of your human activities for fun huh?" Bee said as he walked almost effortlessly as Charlie smiled and adjusted her sunglasses, "Yeah, what'd you do on Cybertron for fun?" Bee shrugged and walked with her, "I'd go on drives across Iacon, shop around, and I'd try some flight upgrades but they just never worked out for me." The two made it to the top of the mountain as Charlie pulled her phone out and started taking some pictures, "Ever taken photos?"
"For a mugshot of sorts, yeah." Bee replied. Charlie giggled and nodded, "Kneel for a sec." Bee did as she said and she jumped up to wrap an arm around Bee's neck as she got a picture of the two, "This is so memories can stay alive forever." Charlie said to Bee. Bee nodded and chuckled as he looked at the picture. He picked up Charlie and walked down the hill as the two took more pictures together. As Bee reached the bottom of the smallish mountain, he sighed and nodded, "This was fun." Charlie nodded as the two walked on. Bee transformed near the road as Charlie hopped in as the two started driving. Charlie sighed as she looked out at the mirror seeing a blue and silver car. Bee moved the mirror, "Huh? Is that you Bluestreak?" Bee asked as Charlie looked over her shoulder, "Why'd he be here buddy?"
"Beats me... I'm gonna pull over, is that okay?" Bee asked politely as Charlie smiled and nodded, "Of course Bee!" The yellow bot pulled over off the road and into a small valley of sorts as the blue car followed him. Charlie got out and looked around as she nodded, "Coast is clear Bee." Bee and Bluestreak transformed as the two shook hands, "Bee. Good to see you. I've come to tell you something important..." He looked at Charlie as Bee nodded, "Yeah, she can stay. I'd trust her with my life." Bluestreak nodded and smiled, "Very well then, I've come to tell you that the Con that attacked you and the TRF forces is none other than of course a seeker but he's a scout seeker. He was searching for something. If it's okay, I need to interrupt your vacation and we have to look for what he was looking for..." Bee nodded before his antenna danced on his head. He shifted his battle-mask on as he activated his armcanon. Bluestreak grabbed his gun and looked around as Charlie hid between them, "What is it, Bee?" she asked as Bee scanned the skies and looked at some rocks shaking on the ground, "It's him..." Bluestreak kept looking before Blitzkrieg rocketed down at the three and transformed. He stood tall as Bluestreak and Bee kept their guns trained on the con. "What do you want!?" Bluestreak demanded an answer as Bee kept Charlie behind his leg. "I want YOU Bumblebee... Prime's favorite scout... I need you for Lord Megatron's plan..." Bee dashed at him as he blasted at Blitzkrieg before kicking him back into a rock, "Well here I am!" Bluestreak runs at Blitzkrieg and fires at the con. Bee dashed and punched Blitzkrieg before the Decepticon threw Bee aside. Bluestreak ducked behind a rock and fired at Blitzkrieg as he kept Charlie safe. "Bee! Get outta here!" He shouted as Bee ran and slid under Blitzkrieg when the con slammed his fists into the spot where Bumblebee was. Bee ran to Bluestreak as the two peeked over the rock and saw Blitzkrieg aim his blaster at them, "C'mon... I just want Bumblebee for the glory of Lord Megatron!" Bee checked his gun and activated his sword as Bluestreak grumbled, "Why do they gotta be all weird about it? We don't say scrap like that about Prime." Bee nodded and checked his sword. "We need a distraction. Start blasting, Charlie's coming with me." She nodded and jumped on to Bee's back as Bluestreak ran and began circle-strafing the large seeker. Bee ran and stabbed the con in the back before Blitzkrieg turned around and fired at Bee. The Scout threw Charlie as Bluestreak caught her and rolled to safety. As the two looked at Bee, he got shot several times and then blown back towards some rocks. Charlie shook her head, "Bumblebee!" Bluestreak set her down as he tackled Blitzkrieg and punched him down a mountain. The Autobot kicked him as Blitzkrieg blasted off and away from the scene. Bluestreak ran over to Bee and Charlie as he held Bee and sat him up, "Bee? Bee! Talk to me buddy! I need you to transform into your car, I'll call Hoist for pick up!" He pressed his wrist as Charlie helped Bee try to transform, "I... I can't... Transform..."

Hoist and Grapple were working with Spike and Kicker as the four tried to make a new part of the base, "Man, this is kinda fun Spike! A shame that we couldn't be proper friends before the war though..." Spike chuckled, "Yeah, you were a bit of a meathead." Kicker smirked and giggled, "Yeah kinda." Ironhide walked in as he nodded, "Nice work guys..." Kicker walked over, "Pretty cool huh bro?" Ironhide nodded and chuckled as he knelt down, "Yeah partner!" Hoist plugged in some cords as the technology came on and Wheeljack ran over, "Guys! We got trouble! Bumblebee is hurt badly and can't move! Hoist ya gotta get to him NOW!" Hoist nodded as He and Spike ran with the others to a groundbridge. Hoist transformed with Grapple as they drove through with Spike hanging on to the side and Kicker running with Ironhide and carrying a blaster rifle. When they arrived at Bluestreak's location Hoist sped out as Ironhide ran and checked on Bee. "Kicker! Recon!" Ironhide shouted as Kicker ran around and checked the area, "All clear for now!" Spike started hooking Bee up to Hoist as Ironhide and Bluestreak got Grapple attached to Bee. Charlie shook her head as Spike walked to her, "I take it you know Bee?" She nodded as he sighed and nodded. "C'mon, let's get him to safety." Spike nodded at Kicker who turned and shouted, "ALRIGHT BOYS! LET'S PACK IT UP AND GET HIM HOME!" Ironhide nodded and shouted, "Y'ALL HEARD THE MAN! ROLL OUT!" He transformed as Spike and Charlie got in. Kicker jumped and held on to Ironhide's door as the Autobots all drove back to the Ark. Once they arrived, the humans all jumped out of Ironhide as the Autobots all transformed and rushed Bumblebee to the medbay. Optimus ran in and held Bumblebee as he got him onto the bed, "Hang on Bumblebee!" Ratchet grabbed an energon cube, as Wheeljack plugged it into a cable. Prime grabbed the same cable and plugged it into Bee's chest as Ratchet and Wheeljack began welding his wounds. "Begin stabilization!" Ratchet said as Optimus typed on the computer for the process to begin. Bluestreak and Charlie sat down, panting and worried beyond belief before Ironhide spoke, "Don't worry 'bout Bee. I've known that bot since he was brought online, it'll take more than a few blasts to bring 'im down." Charlie smiled softly as she nodded, "I hope you're right Ironhide."

An hour later, Optimus walked out and spoke to Bluestreak, "He's finally stabilized. ratchet says it'll take about a day for him to heal... Bluestreak, who's that?" Prime motioned to Charlie who was asleep in his arms, "Oh. Um... This is Bumblebee's human friend?" Prime nodded, "Like Hoist and Spike, Carly and Sideburn and Cliffjumper, and Kicker and Ironhide?" Bluestreak nodded, "Precisely. Sir." He chuckled nervously as Prime nodded, "Very well. Make sure she's comfortable here." Prime walked off as Bluestreak walked in the opposite direction. Hot Rod walked to him as he dusted himself off, "Hey Blue, is Bee okay?" He nodded at Hot Rod, "Yup. He's healing up right now." Hot Rod smiled and nodded, "Great, he's like my brother ya know. Is that you're friend or is that Bee's?" Hot Rod leaned down to Charlie as Bluestreak covered his mouth, "She's Bee's friend. I'm not one for connecting with humans. Her name's Charlie I think... Odd name." Hot Rod rolled his optics as he stood up and crossed his arms, "But Kicker and Spike are normal human names?" He chuckled quietly as Bluestreak nodded, "Ah, you're right. You know a lot about Humans don't ya buddy?" Hot Rod shrugged, "Yeah, it helps when Optimus tells me that part of my Elite Guard training is to understand the world we're defending." Bluestreak nodded, "You're getting a lot of training, like philosophical training?" Hot Rod nodded as the two kept walking around the Ark, "Yeah definitely. He's telling all about Cybertron and Primus. Nothing short of amazing by the way." The two chuckled as Charlie slowly woke up, "Huh, wha, where am I?" Charlie rubbed her eyes as Hot Rod and Bluestreak knelt down to let her stand up, "You're at the Ark, Friend Charlie. Ba weep granna weep ninny bong." Charlie stood up and waved as she yawned and stretched, "I'm Charlie Watson... You must be another Autobot." Hot Rod nodded, "Yup. I'm Bumblebee's best friend. The name's Hot Rod." Charlie looked at him, "Huh, you look pretty cool." Hot Rod chuckled, "Thanks kiddo." Charlie nodded, "Is Bee okay?"
"He just needs a day to heal, Charlie." Hot Rod said as Charlie nodded, "Hey Bluestreak, I'll watch her. If you wa-"
"Hot diggity dog I got files to read! And nice meeting you Charlie." The Autobot ran off to the back of the base as Hot Rod chuckled, "C'mon, I'll show ya around." Hot Rod picked up Charlie as she sat on his shoulder. The Wrecker walked around the Ark as he showed off everything to her. Finally Bee walked out of the medbay as the two shouted in unison: "Bumblebee!" Charlie hung on as Hot Rod ran to Bee and hugged him. Bee giggled and sighed, "Hey guys." Hot Rod set him down as Charlie jumped to Bee who caught her and held her in his arms, "Let's get you home Charlie." She nodded and smiled at Bee as Hot Rod walked to the ground bridge controls and opened one for Bumblebee, "See ya around bee." He smiled as Bee nodded, "You betcha big guy." He walked through as Charlie waved, "Bye Hot Rod." Hot Rod waved at her, "Buh-bye Charlie." He giggled as she chuckled.

When they arrived at Charlie's house, Bee went to the backyard and sat down with Charlie, "Some day huh?" She giggled and nodded in agreement, "Some day indeed Bee..." They reaxed as Charlie hugged Bee tightly, "Next time, try not to die."
