TFP | One Shall Fall: Bumblebee's Revenge

Request by; @Butterflymed

Raf's older sibling (Y/N) worries Raf is in danger. They're terrified when they find out they're right, while Bumblebee is furious and seeks revenge for Raf's death.

"You shouldn't go out with your friends today," (Y/N) argued as Raf packed his laptop into a bag.
"You never worry," Raf points out.
"I know, I can't explain it, but I just have a feeling you're better off staying home."
Raf finds this odd but knows the Autobots will protect him, and Bumblebee will protect him if they choose to go out of the base.
(Y/N) watches Raf leave, and the worried feeling increases.

"... it's odd, Bee, (Y/N) is never worried like this."
"You know we'll protect you," Bumblebee beeps.
"I know, but I didn't know how to tell (him/her) without revealing the secret."
Bumblebee is concerned that Raf's sibling is concerned about his safety but believes he can continue to protect Raf.

After playing video games for an hour, Raf decides he wants to race his RC car under the bridge.

Not long after the two leave the base, Bumblebee is ordered to return.
"It's ok, Bee. We can race later," Raf tells him.

As Bee drives down the street, he sees what appears to be lightning getting closer, but he quickly realizes it's not lightning but dark Energon. He does his best not to get hit but fails. Bumblebee feels fine but watches Raf's arm drop. Bumblebee knows Raf is unconscious and panics about how the dark Energon affected him. He rushes back to base but can't contact Ratchet.

The other Autobots are at the base, horrified, as they see Bumblebee carrying Raf.
"Raf! Can you hear me?" Arcee asks as the boy rests on her arm. All she gets is a weak groan, "he's alive, but barely."
Though Ratchet is not pleased Arcee is telling everyone, he fears she is right. As he takes Raf to the medbay, Jack calls June, panicked.

June speeds into the base through the tunnel. Immediately taking charge and demanding that she takes Raf to the hospital. Ratchet isn't sure if his portable equipment is enough but agrees. Fowler is informed, regretting what he must tell Raf's family. Even while keeping the true accident a secret, he hates having to tell Raf's family that Raf is in the hospital.

Once Ratchet has done all he can, he walks out of the ICU room to panicked parents. He didn't think he'd see the oldest child panicking and the younger ones don't understand what was happening. Something about the oldest child concerns Ratchet. As he gets closer to (him/her), Ratchet realizes they're on the verge of an anxiety attack. He notices the chair close to the teen.
"Kid, sit down," Ratchet insists. Leading the teen to the chair.
"I-I...."
Then Ratchet realizes this is the sibling that Bee said was worried about Raf leaving the house today.
"Easy, you couldn't have known," Ratchet tries to assure them.
He has the teen stand up once they are a little calm and hug them. He wasn't prepared for them to cry.
Ratchet talks to the parents, regretting he can't give any good news. He points out how upset their oldest child is and the concern he has about them. He watches the family leave, concerned. 

Ratchet stays overnight to monitor Raf.

June walks into the hospital as she hears the announcement that there's a code blue.
Please don't let it be Raf. She worries.
As she rushes down the hall, Ratchet walks out of Raf's room.  His expression tells June what she doesn't want to know. They regret telling everyone the news. Ratchet decides to go back to the Autobots' base to give the news while June can tell the Esquivel family.
No one thought Bumblebee would think revenge mission until he speeds out of the base. The others know they should go after him, but knows there's no stopping Bee.

"An Autobot on my ship?!" Megatron rages, "that annoying scout. This will be quick."
Megatron is unprepared for how quickly Bumblebee attacks him. The two fight the best they can. Within five minutes, both mechs are exhausted and injured.
"Give up!" Megatron demands, "you can't win."
To Megatron's surprise, Bumblebee gets the Dark Star Saber from Megatron. Jamming the weapon into Megatron's spark, the Decepticon leader immediately offlines and falls to the floor.
"Your death is avenged, Raf," Bumblebee beeps before passing out.

"Bumblebee?" A familiar voice calls.
"Raf?" Bumblebee asks, shocked he has his voice.
"Bumblebee? You have your voice back!" Raf cheers.
Bumblebee then realizes he's dead, but not in the Well of AllSparks.
"Bumblebee, respond!" The two hear Ratchet.
Now I understand that I'm not dead, and so apparently, I'm able to cross to what humans call heaven.
"You have to go back," Raf says, "the team needs you."
After hugging his best human friend, Bumblebee returns to the living world.

Bumblebee stares at Ratchet, who is amazed Bumblebee was revived. The medic sees the sadness in Bee's optics. Knowing he met Raf, and was close to crossing over to the Well of AllSparks. Everyone knows Bumblebee is going to have a harder time dealing with Raf's death than most of the others. Optimus is debating on letting Raf's older (brother/sister) know the secret to know their younger brother's best friend. For now, everyone needs to help each other, and Ratchet will keep close tabs on Raf's family.
