bumblebee's journey (book 1)

Bumblebees pov:

The day was cold and dim the life that had once thrived on our home was gone the war ravaging it with no mercy. It had been three months since we found out about shocksplits betrayal. We no longer stayed at the camp it was gone obliterated by a missile. Thankfully no one lost their life we had known it was coming and had time to evacuate. "so bee guess what to day is" highfire said excitedly as the sun rose over the edge of the horizon. We had taken shelter in a old scrap yard the same one cascade chased me though. We had also found out he was a triple changer or well or just pieced it together. "what is it highfire" I replied in a playful tone knowing full well it was his sparkday. (A/N sparkday = birthday) "its my sparkday" he replied happily. "what it it you only reminded me 20 times yesterday" I add back. He rolled his optics and smiled. "so how old you turning" I question further he hadn't told me. "22" (human years) 

I was surprised he didn't look to much older than me. "Well I would ask if you wanted to go somewhere special but I don't think that's possible right now" I say waving my servor across the battle strewn field. "Yeah but that's fine im here with you and we can have plenty of fun here to" I chuckled and sat down looking up at the fading stars. "Or we could do that" he said sitting down next to me. "Sorry I was just thinking" I comment back. "bout what" he added. "Life" I replied as I remember everything. Being left in the allyway, being adopted, watching my family slathered, having small moments of peace with stormchaser and everything else. "Can I try" highfire asked with playful banter in his voice. "sure" was all my reply. After a few moments he spoke again. "this is terrifying" he added sarcastically. "yeah wanna go get some energon " I replied. And looked around for the new plot. "Sure but I don't know were it is" He responded looking around as well.

Rainshot came up behind us walking with empty energon cases. "We've run dry" I turned around. "how this place is full of it" I say in confusion. "cons took a bunch and we've been burning through it with all the fighting" I let out a long sigh. "This war is taking everything" highfire added. "Maybe we should go look for some there's got to be some left" I continued. "that's definitely a good idea I'm almost out of our medical reserves and I don't believe we will have enough is to many of you come back injured" ratchet added checking over a data pad as he walked past. "you should check the iron cliffs" rainshot added and I nodded and started to walk out of the makeshift camp with highfire. the sun was bear over our mettel planet and the wind well their was none. we walked for some time looking in crevisis for any remaining energon until we reached a long open cliff. I instantly recognized where we were.

I slowly walked to the edge of the cliff that I knew overlooked my broken town. "hey bee did you find some- oh" he cut off. I stood rigide to the spot saddens filling me at the sight of my mangled town. "bee I'm sorry" highfire continued he had never seen it. I shook my helm and turned back to him. "its fine the only bots I really knew were already gone" and I continued on walking. we walked a for a few more minutes before we found a small vain of hidden energon crystals. "well at least we got that" he said and started packing some up in the case we brought. "lets head back" i say and start walking back. when highfire runs up behind me hugging me tightly. "highfire what the frag" i say and push him off im in no mood for a hug. "you just looked like you needed a hug" he said in a playful tone. "I'm fine lets just get back to- WATCH OUT" I yelled at I saw a decepticon jet coming towards us. 

he ducked and it flew over our helms. it slowed and transformed behind us I instantly jumped at them trying to catch them off guard. it worked and the stumbled backwards when I hit them kicking hard off from their chassis. I landed on my peds a few feet away and heard highfires gun power up. I ducked as the shots flew over me hitting the con. he stopped when the con returned fire. I jumped back pushing highfire behind one of the rocks. "oh come on are the little autobots to scared to fight" the con mocked. "frag no" highfires said jumping out and started firing again but his attack was short lived when another con hit him from behind sending him flying and knocking him unconscious. I felt my rage bubble up and a new power surge though me at the sight of my friend. i did a front hand spring over the rock and attacked the first con climbing onto his back and kicking the back of his knee making him kneel. 

the second con started at me then paused for a moment before continuing. i thought about what could have made him stop but i didn't have time for that. i jumped back behind the first con activating my cannon and blasting him in the back before jumping away. he fell forward looking disoriented and confused. i easily ducked and doged the second cons blast before returning fire. he flew up into the air and transformed using his gun to shoot many bullets at me. i took a quick glance at highfire who was waking up and hid behind the rock again. he was a safe distance from what i was about to do me not so much. i grabbed one of the grenades that wheeljack had given to me pulled the pin and threw it strait at the con who shot at it making it explode mid air. 

it sent both me and the con flying apart but more so the con. i felt one of the loos bullets hit my right arm and sear painfully though it but it wasn't anything new. i turned back to the cons using my other arm to fire at them. highfire was back on his peds and firing at them to. "retreat" the second con yelled and flew away with the first in close pursuit.  i gave a relived sigh and turned to see if highfire was hurt. "you ok" his optics went wide and he put one of his servors  in the air and the other behind his back. "hey it's me highfire remember" i looked at him confused. I cocked my helm to the side of course i knew who he was. then I caught a glance of my reflection in one of the energon crystals. my optics were a deep red and angry. I shook my helm and looked back they were gone back to baby blue. wh- I didn't even notice and it wasn't something that I couldn't control like last time. 

"i-i didn't even n-notice and it d-didn't control me" I stammered out. "hu weird but maybe we should go see ratchet just Incase" I nodded in agreement. "yeah" I replied and he let the servor behind his back drop reveling the syringe gun. his optics went wide again. "ratchet made me promise to carry it" he replied with a look of guilt on his face. "look its fine I wouldn't want to hurt anyone" I said reshuring him. he gave a look of sorrow and then put it back in his subspace before talking again. "what do you think triggered it this time" he questond. I thought for a moment trying to remember when it started. "It happened when you got .... Knocked out" I said remembering my rage. "Hm so you really do care about me" he replied in a mocking tone. "Oh can it you broke your promise" I scolded. "HOW" he said annoyed. "You jumped out from the rock WITHOUT a game plan" I continued. "Yeah whatever let's just get this energon back to camp and you to ratchet or were both going to get a wrench if he finds out" he confined picking up one of the boxes. I did the same and followed him back to base.
