bumblebee's journey (book 1)

Bumblebees pov:

"Bring him back in one piece I like him" leadfoot shouted at Cascade as we walked onto the ship to go to a distant world to search for energon. "Which one" Cascade called back earning a laugh from most of the bots watching. I slightly laughed to before we entered the ship reading to launch into space. We sat down and  jazz called back to us. "Buckle up I'm kicking it" he finished and slowly started to rise into the sky. ::let's just hope the cons don't try to run us into the ground:: I whispered to rainshot who was sitting beside me. "Don't worry jazz got us covered" she whispered back. I looked across to where ratchet and Cascade were sitting."You don't look so good ratchet" rainshot said looking at him. His face was green and his optics were glazed over with sickness.

"I'm...fine" he replied and looked away. ::and cons are the good guys what's wrong:: I replied jokingly but still concerned. "Just a little quezy that's all" he said and the green started to leave his face. "Ok but if you puke don't do it on me" Cascade said and pointed to the other side. "Oh for Primus sake I'm not going to puke" ratchet said irritated and waving his servo dismissively. wit was a short while before we landed on a different planet. i looked out thought the front window and saw it was a rocky planet covered in jagged rocks. there was a strange color to them they were brown and yellow. "wow where are we again" cascade asked looking out astonished. "we are on a unnamed planet just outside our solar system there is no life on this planet" optimus replied back before heading towards the door. "but remain on your guard" he added before he opened the door and walked out.

i followed closely behind him seping off the ship. the gravity here was the same on Cybertron. "split up well be able to cover more ground that way" Optimus said and I started to turn to find a partner. "bumblebee your with me" he said and I turned around a little bit surprised than I remembered I was still his apprentice. we hadn't done much of stuff like that since the war became more pressing every day. ::copy that captain:: I said in a joking manner. I saw him give a small smile before he turned away.I looked back to see who partnered up with who. cascade was with ratchet and rainshot and jazz were together already heading away. rainshot gave me a quick nod before she walked off with jazz in another direction. I started to follow but I felt a servo on my shoulder I turned around and saw jazz behind me. I cocked my helm to the side in confusion. he let out a small chuckle.

 ::w-what is it:: I asked and he just shook his helm. "nothing you just look cute when you do that but hey remember what I told you" he said a kind smile on his face. ::don't worry I will never forget you:: I replied and he nodded before he turned and walked back off. I smiled inwardly and turned back towards optimus. he was also smiling I nodded to hm. I followed Optimus as he led us away onto the barren planet. ::isn't this place charming:: I joked as we walked over the boring rocks as they seemed to repeat themselves over and over again. "all planets are beautiful in there own way" he replied and walked under an overhang. he paused under it and looked up, smiling with interest. o walked over and looked up as well. there was a big hole through the top, it framed the sky and made the stars seem to shine brighter the longer you looked. :

:your right:: I replied before we continued on. eventually we came to a cave that stretched deep into the planet. a eire glow eliminated from it as the cool blue hue confirmed that there was energon in it. "be on your guard the cave my be unstable" he said as we descended into the cave. ::copy that......captain:: I said using the nickname I had for him. I saw a glimmer of a smile cross his face before he turned away. I smiled to myself and followed after him. The cave got darker the deeper we went but also more energon glowed from the small cracks in the cave. they eventually became large crystals protruding from the walls, floor, and ceiling. ::wow this place is packed:: I stated as we walked deeper. But optimus didn't stop he kept heading deeper into the cave. I followed him and didn't question why but I was definitely confused. 

"do you hear that bumblebee" optimus said turning to look at me. I listed for a moment before I heard the clicking of metal hitting stone. ::yeah I do what is it:: I replied in confusion looking around at the cave until I saw it. Its body was small and round with a smooth silver color. I took me a moment to recognize what it was and when I did I was instantly frightened. ::SCRAPLET:: I shouted and jumped back. Optimus wiped around to face it. He aimed his cannon at it but didn't shoot. ::why aren't you shooting it:: I said and aimed my cannon at it. "Don't it may be alon- get put of here" he said turning to face me cutting his own sentence off. ::w-why:: I asked nervously turning around. When I did I saw a cave full of tiny round body with big blue optics staring back at me. ::oh:: I said and turned transforming and driving off with optimus close behind. I pushed myself and the sound of wirring faded behind us as they retreat back into the cave. 

We skidded to a stop a little ways away from the cave. I transformed and looked around us to see if there were any more that still followed. I turned to Optimus confused. ::why didn't they chase us:: I said a took a nervous glance back to the cave."They may have only been protecting there sorse of energon they still need it to" he replied looking around him. ::well what do we do we still need energon:: I said momentary only slightly panicked then the fear rose like foul bile in my though. ::what about the others:: I said and turned around back the way we came. "We must split up and warn them our comms do not work on this planet" he replied his vpice.staying steady and calm. I gave a quick curt nod before transforming and driving off following optimus as he lead us back to our meeting point. We skidded to a halt by the ship and transformed. 

"Bumblebee go after jazz and rainshot I will go find ratchet and cascade, Primus let they be ok" he said pointing to the way they had gone. I gave him a quick nod before transforming and following there ped marks.'primus don't let me to late' I said as I speed up. It was only a short minute before I spotted there ped tracks entere a cave. ::no no no:: I said to myself as I slowly stopped as at the entrance of the cave. 'come on bee there Little' I said to myself as I walked in. I transformed my servo into my canon. The cave was large and deep. I started to hurry as I got deeper into the cave, as the blue hue from the energon glowed from deep within. I was at a run now stumbling down the steep rocks. I came to a fork in the tunnel and the ped steps split apart. I heard the slow wiring from the tunnel on the right and aimed my gun at it preparing to shoot them.

 the loud ped steps soon came and I was ready to defend whoever came out. it was rainshot and she was limping, badly. ::raonshot:: I said and looked behind her to see only a few measly scrapings behind her. I finished them off then turned back to her. ::your hurt you need to get out of here:: I insisted seeing just how much energon she was leaking. "no I need to stay we have to get jazz out" she insisted and started to walk toward the other tunnel. ::no you get back to the ship I'll get jazz:: I said and pushed her back the way I had come. "what about the scraplets you might need help" she said resisting me. ::probably but your in no shape to help look at how much energon your leaking you need to get back ratchet::  I insisted and she gave in slowly limping back up to the entrance. I turned back to the second tunnel and didn't hesitate to run in. 'primus don't let me be to late' I said to myself and continued to run into the dark cave with the blue hue. 'please don't let me fail'
