Raf's New Family :: Rewriting::

Its All About Bee

3rd person pov.

The proximity alarm went off showing Agent Fowler's arrival. The bots groaned.

"Prime? Any sign of Bumblebee? The government is on my back right now! We need to find him, and get him back to base!", Fowler yelled.

"Agent Fowler, we are doing what we can to find our scout. If the cons had him then Megatron would have made a video transmission regarding Bumblebee.", Optimus said staying calm.

"Just let me know when you find that kid!", Fowler walked back over to the elevator and took off in his helicopter.

The team stayed quiet, at least until an alarm went off.

"Ratchet is flat lining!", Miko screamed.

"NO HE ISNT! Ratchet is just recharging Miko. Leave him be......he deserves it.", Arcee said smiling at Ratchet's sleeping form.

The alarm continued going off until Optimus walked over to it and read the message:

Optimus Prime,

My name is Silas. And of any greater information to you, we are mech. I suppose your missing an Autobot, well of course you are! When your scout was on a mission, my team and I took him down. He is currently being used as part of our experiment. If you want him back, well I don't want a ransom. All I want is your scout, all of him.... He has lost many parts to us, such as his Transformation Cog, Heart, voice box, eyes, brain, all those fun stuff. We have indeed learned a lot from your so called teammate. Good luck trying to find an empty husk.

~Silas leader of M.E.C.H

The Autobots stayed quiet as Optimus read the message to himself. When he was finished he growled and slammed his fist onto the computer. The computer turned off and everyone was frightened of Optimus' new found rage.

"Carrier, I am scared.", Raf whispered into his adoptive mom's audio receptor.

"Okay, youngling. You go take a bath or shower and I will see if I can calm Optimus down, OK?", the young boy nodded and left the main room, "Optimus? A word?"

The two bots walked into the Energon storage vault and Ashley seemed a bit to worried for Optimus's liking.

"What's wrong, Ash?", Optimus asked having lost his rage.

"Raf, the girls, and I are worried about Bee too. Remember what you always told me when I was mad?", the Prime nodded.

"Never get angry over the fact that something of yours was lost or someone. Revenge is not the answer and neither is getting angry.", Optimus said thinking over his words.

"Precisely. When you slammed your servo on the computer, Raf got scared.", Optimus felt guilty all of a sudden, "What?"

"Bumblebee is.....dead. M.E.C.H got to him while he was on a mission. I....am truly sorry, Ash.", he looked at his sister and held her close as she cried.

What she didn't realize was that her son was right behind her and he heard it all.

Raf POV.

Bumblebee is.....dead? No! That's not possible! Bee is my dad and my best friend. Carrier hugged Optimus and he held her close as she cried, her head on his stomach. She is just as tall as sire, and only goes up to Optimus' stomach.

I ran to my room and locked the door. I got my own room as a birthday present, I am now 13.....and a twelfth. I sat on my bed and cried, I cried and cried and cried. Eventually I fell asleep and my dream made me cry even more.
