Rainshots pov:

We were settling down for the night in the recharge room. Cascade me and bee were together while highfire was on the other side of the room. Bee was in between me and cascade so we could make sure he was fine. I still couldn't believe what highfire had done. He hit his best friend and he would have done it again if I hadn't been there to stop him. Bumblebee had calmed down since then and had started talking again but it wasn't the same and I'm afraid it might never be. Bee didn't trust highfire none of us did really but something about his apology seemed so real and heartfelt. I couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong more than just highfire going ballistic on his best friend no, no something was wrong with both of them. I barely slept that night I just couldn't. I sat up to go out to get some fresh air.

I got up and I head bee start to wirr at me. ::c-can I come:: he asked sitting up. "Of course you can" I replied waiting for him to get up and walk with me leaving Cascade to sleep. we walked out never taking a glance to highfire we walked out of the camp under the starry night sky. tonight it almost seemed like the war was irrelevant like it wasn't really here but it was impossible to forget. every day we fought like cyberdogs just to keep our lives just to keep freedom. the air was still thick with smoke and ash, it made me sick. eventually we mad it to a cliff overlooking a battered city's remains. we sat down letting our peds swing over the edge letting the silence calm our minds.  ::rainshot..... that wasn't him:: bee said turning to me. I wanted to think that but it was hard to believe so. 

I saw him do it with my own optics and I knew bee had done something along the lines but he didn't actually hurt anyone. he also had a excuse, one which I wish had never happened. ::I don't know what to do:: he said sorrow draining in his optics. "me and you both" I replied looking back out over the broken city. ::what if it had something to do with the con that attacked me before highfire came, we were fighting when her optics started to glow red than I got dizzy and blacked out:: he insisted trying to find a way to prove his friend innocent. "maybe and I know your trying to find a way or excuse for highfire but we might just have to bite the bullet on this one......... that could have been him his true self" I said saying the ugly truth. I knew it hurt but I also knew bee hated when he was told a lie. "I'm sorry" i said rubbing in between his door wings.

::i know but i..... just don't want to let go:: he said hanging his helm. "we don't have to not yet there's still hope" i said trying to reassure him. ::thanks rainshot:: he replied giving me a fond look. "Bumblebee I promise I will always protect you no matter who its against let it be unicron himself" I said knowing the power and meaning the word promise meant in our group. It was more than just a childish wish it was a life long packed that you could never let down. I stared up the stars than at bee the cool light bathing his bright yellow paint as he looked on at the city. and everything in that moment was perfect "lets head back to camp cascade might be looking for us" I said stretching. ::maybe just a few more minutes:: he asked. "of course" I replied. I had a soft spot for my young friend. we sat there for a few more minutes until it was finally time to go. we walked back, the sky now filled with smoke as it clogged my air way. "I can't believe it our home were killing it" I said looking up into the sky. it was a angry fiery red glowing from the relentless fire that waged on. ::Its been dying without the allspark in its core it can't regenerate we've doomed ourselves:: bee said looking up at the sky to. "I don't think well be able to hold out much longer especially at this rate" I added. It was tragic to think we brought our own destruction, but we hadn't the deceptions had. "Bumblebee" I heard highfire's voice behind us and my blood ran cold.

1. I turned around hostile not knowing what he would do. I took a quick glance at bumblebee he didn't seem scared but instead more determined. "bee I'm sorry I shouldn't have done those things but it wasn't me something wanted me to do them it forced me and I was to confused to stop it i-it was a voice.it said it was the allspark" highfire pleaded looking utterly defeat. "how do we know your telling the truth" I said unsure if I should trust him or not. ::highfire im sorry that I messed up bu- ohhhhhhhh:: bee said stumbling forward some his optics clouded with haze and confusion. He slipped to the ground and I ran over looking over his frame. He was lying there unconscious "What did you do" I hissed at highfire assuming he did this. "I didn't do this I swear I jus- ohhhhhhhhh" he said slipping unconscious to. "Wh- no no come on" I yelled.

"Cascade ....... Come on wake up ....CASCADE" I yelled into my comm. _hmm w-what is it rainshot_ he asked sleepiness hanging in his voice. "Bumblebee and highfire blacked out u need your help" I explained as quickly as I could. _wh- I'm on my way_ he said back. "Hurry I don't know what happened" I said looking over at both of them. "Come on bee wake up" I said shaking his frame lightly. I got up and swiftly went over to highfire to make sure he was ok too. I got back up and pulled bee over to highfires side. "Come on you both need to wake up then we can figure this out when we get back to camp come on" I said shaking highfires frame aswell. "Well well look what we have here" I wiped around a tall thin crimson red femme was standing behind me. I stood up standing protectively in front of both of them. "Back off" I hissed at her.

"That's no way to greet a guest" she kicked and took a step forward. "What do you want" I questioned transforming my servor into a blaster and pointing it at her now t moving from my spot in front of bee and highfire. "Let me introduce myself my name is viper what's yours" she said a sly smile coming across her face. I looked at her crimson red optics and thought that this might bee the femme highfire was talking about. I looked away remember this is how bee blacked out the first time. "Fine if you don't want to talk than I'll make you scream" she hissed jumping at me. I jumped at her and we hit each other mid air falling away. I jumped back up and charged at viper trying to overwhelm her. She had long spider like legs who looked much like airacnid.

She kicked out and launched me back. I fell down beside bee and highfire landing on my back. I look at viper upside down as she started walking toward me again with calm long strides. I pushed up but someones ped pushed me back down. I looked up to see the crude face of airachnid herself. "viper how good is it to see you sister" arachnid said enthusiastically. "it is indeed airy" I guess airy was a nickname for airachnid. I pussed up again trying to get free."a a a where do you think your going" airachnid hissed holding one of her leg blades to my chin making me look up. "what do you want with them" I growled back. "I don't know meg wants them I'm just here to get them" viper said in a flabbergasted tone. "you really have a nickname for everyone don't you" airachnid said. 

"that's what I do now what are we going to do with the femme should we kill her" viper replied squatting down to me running one of her sharp digits across the side of my face. I heard the wirr of a plain engine. "CASCADE" I yelled. lookes like our time has been cut short sister I'll tie her up and bag the mechs. "airachnid instructed and viper nodded walking over to bee and highfire who were still laying unconscious. I struggled to get away but it was to late I was stuck to the ground in sticky webbing. the two cons soon had a vecnicon grabe both bee and highfire while I struggled trying to get free. "NOO" I yelled at they transformed taking off into the sky. "no"
