bumblebee's journey (book 1)

cascades pov:

I was nervously tapping my digit on the table anxiously awaiting for some one to use the comm. We couldn't said hear or track them we were completely in the dark here. The I heard to comm kick on and highfire speak. _highfire to base we've succeeded_ I pumped my fiat in the air and ultra Magnus ave me a quick glare and I stopped waiting for and ....... Dreaded news. "base to team A get out of there we are sending in a battalion" ultra Magnus replied thought the comm than got up to get them sent out. Optimus walked up calm and cool but I knew the answer to the next question could change his life and mine forever.  "is every one with you" he said letting his finger off the com button and I leaned in to here the news. _Optimus we.........lost bee_ I gasped and stumbled backwards "no this cant be" I chocked out and shook my helm i must be dreaming. _he sacrificed himself to distract the cons so we could get though_

I couldn't take it and I could feel the coolent well up in my optics. _we didn't see him go down he could still be put there......somewhere_ rainshot said trying convince herself he was going to be fine. "than I'm going to look for him" I say and walk out of the med tent where we were set up. _here are his last coordinates_ highfire said giving me something to work with. 'Oh primus let him be out there alive somewhere' I prayed to the sky. Had to wait for the battalion to leave until I could go wish only added to my anxiety. "your good to go now" I heard the command from ultra Magnus. I thanked hum and set off. The battle was ensuing in sector 8 and bees last coordinates were in sector 6. I thanked prints that it would be low for me to run into any cons while I was out. I jumped unto the air transforming and taking off over the fields laid to waist by our war. I dropped down sifting though the ruble for any sing of bee I wasn't just going to let him go. 

The sun beat down on my back as I restless worked and searched for any sign of him. I cam up to a large open clearing where a tall building had collapsed creating a platform. Than I saw it the glint of a bright yellow from shining in the distance. I sprinted over to it and knelt down beside it. It was bee his frame was beaten and covered in gashes and wounds. He was profusely leaking large amounts of energon as it pooled around his frame. His optics were flickering from off to the dullest blue I had ever seen on him his breath was comeing in as quick shallow gasps instead of deep long breathes. "Ratchet I found him he's alive but in pretty bad shape I don't know if he'll make it if I move him" i reported back to ratchet and hoped he would have the right answer. _you'll have to bring him to me I have a triage set up but hurry and be steady when you fly_ I heard his instructions and as carefully as I could picked bee up and placed him in my cargo area as I transformed.

'Please be alright' I said as I flew trying to stay as steady as possible. his optics were getting dim by the but minute and my fear increased. I spotted the triage near the border of the con territory. I went down as lightly as I could and transformed taking him in my arms before rushing into the med tent where there was already a few bots in. They all turned to me but then cleared a way to let me through when they saw the state bee was in. They all knew what bee, highfire, and rainshot were sent to launch the allspark but they didn't know if they had succeeded. Ratchet rushed out of the back when he heard the ruckus. "Bring him in here quick" he said before disappearing back into the tent. I rushed forward holding bee tightly to my chassis afraid that if I let go I would lose him. There was a berth set up and ratchet pointed to it while he was setting something up.

I laid him gently down on the berth and backed up waiting for ratchet to start working. He set off welding some of his worst wounds and hooked him up to a spark monitor. "Come on ratchet faster" he said to himself pushing him to work harder. _cascade did you find him yet were on our way back_ I heard the concerned voice of rainshot come through. "I did he's  alive in a triage with ratchet but I don't know if he's going to make it" I hurriedly explained while still watching ratchet. _were on our way_ they replied in unison and the steady him I a motor was heard. "No come on ratchet" ratchet said slamming his fist down on one of the empty side tables. "Cascade I need energon now" he commanded and I rushed back out the front and picked up several boxes and ran back in setting them down beside ratchet. "What now" I said still holding one. My servor was trembling from the stress.

"Hook him up to it" he instructed never taking his optics off of bee who was laying motionless on the berth. I grabbed one of the long cables and hooked it up to the box setting it down on the table. "Come on bee" I whispered to myself. The spark monitor was getting fainter and fainter and his optics took longer to turn back on. "We're here" I turned to see highfire and rainshot rush though the front with minimal injures. "Ratchet is he going to make it" highfire asked walking up in the other side of bee. "I-i don't know" he stammered out and I pulled him back getting him out of ratchets way. He didn't resist only mearly looked in at the broken frame of his friend. "There's no better medic to treat him" I said trying to reassure him but I didn't expect it to help any. then the spark monitor went fast and ratchet got a terrified look on his face. the spark monitor when completely silent.

 "no no no no come on just work" he said pulling open bees chassis to reveal his spark.  "please let this work" he said before giving it a shock.we all waited anxiously for the results. highfire was clutching rainshots servor and she had her other pulled up to her chassis. I had a tight grip on highfires shoulder and ratchet was clutching at the side of the berth. I starred on in shock 'please' I whimpered in my mind then "beep....beep....beep....beep" my spark leaped with joy. "yes" ratchet said and started working on bee again checking the monitors around him. after a few minutes of a mix of joy and fear ratchet took a few steps back reviling the baby blue optics of bumblebee no longer flickering. they weren't very bright but they were no longer dull. "he's going to make it" ratchet finally let out after a long moment. 

"thank primus" rainshot let out sinking to the ground resting on her knees. highfire followed holding her tight. they stood back up when ratchet ran his scanner over him it flashed orange in most spots but turned blood red when it passed by his helm.ratchet gasped and put his scanner away. "what is it ratchet what's wrong" I said frantically moving closer to bee. highfire and rainshot shot up to a standing position. "he.... will never talk again" I looked on in horror. "w-what d-do you mean b-by that" highfire stammered out. "h-his voice box was....... torn out" I gasped holding my neck with the palm of my servor. "no" I heard the sad whimper from rainshot. "I'm sorry there is nothing I can do about it he's........... mute" I couldn't take it anymore and let out a sad sob letting the coolest run down my face. to think about never hearing his voice again was awful to never hear his cute giggle when someone made a good joke. 

"he needs rest now and I suggest you get your recharge to" ratchet said but I wasn't going to leave yet maybe not ever until he was better. "I'm not going to leave him" highfire said stubbornly. ratchet nodded and started checking over bee again for anymore problems. I sat down on a nearby crate looking at bee. he was cover in energon and gashes. but what really shook my was the sight of the hole in his neck. 'i'm so sorry' I said to myself. "he's going to make it" rainshot let out a blurt of utter happiness. she started crying and I knew they were tears of joy. I nodded "thank the allspark"
