TFP Family (Sequel of "Bumblebee, You Will Be Okay)

Interruptions

Raf's p.o.v

My newest addition to my race car collection skids across the concrete, it's custom painted black stripes amongst the base of yellow hinting in the Jasper sun. Though, a rock makes the moment short lived. I groan as the car lands on it's side, the tires spinning. Bumblebee chuckles, but stands and gently flips the race car back on all four wheels. "We need to work on it's suspension," Bee says. I sigh, "add it to the list." Before Bumblebee can continue our conversation, his comm link comes to life, "Bumblebee, Optimus and the others are in need of serious assistance. Sorry to break up your free day early." Bumblebee looks down at me but gives me a small smile, his mouth still being something I like to study, though it is normal on everyone else. "Copy that, sire. Send over a ground bridge."

I could feel the pride Ratchet felt for his son through the comm link, "bridging you and Rafael to base now, son." 

Bumblebee ended the session there and looked to me, "Raf, I'm sorry to do this once again. One day we will get a full day without interruptions, I promise." I smiled up at my best friend, "please, Bee. Earth needs you. Even though I can't help but feel jealous at times." Bumblebee chuckled, "you always understand."

Bumblebee's p.o.v

After dropping off Raf, Ratchet prepared yet another ground bridge, "go in ready for battle, Bumblebee." I nodded, activating my battle mask, and preparing my blasters. As soon as I entered, I was met face to face with one of the henchmen. I connected my balled servo to the silver faceplate. WheelJack called to me just as the Decepticon hit the dirt, "'bout time you showed. We're in need of some serious aft kicking." I smiled under my battle mask, "had Raf with me." I ran into the battle and got a few cons. Bulkhead's voice erupted through the shared comm links, "Bumblebee! There is a certain pink haired, pink phone wielding girl near your left ped!" 

A soft 'click' and light flickered as I looked down, blasters aimed in front of me. Miko's 'space buns' as she called them, were the first things I noticed. I sighed as I realized this was yet another mission she decided to be a stowaway on. "Miko, you know how dangerous this is." She just look up at me, her eyes sparkling. The glowing energon around us made it a little more clear in the cave. Always the energon caves. 

"I had to get action shots of you, Bee! You kick total aft! And now I can understand you, and that new battle mask it totally wicked!" I couldn't help but form a small smile. It was short-lived as a henchmen was able to get a good hit to said battle mask. I was shoved to the side, but was sure to swoop up Miko before my ped could make her go splat. 

I pushed her to my chassis, making sure she held on. She climbed to my shoulder plating, much to my dismay. Battling the vehicon wasn't going to be as easy. Grabbing the Decepticon by it's neck cables with my servo, I ordered Miko to turn her head.  She didn't, of course. I plunged my servo into it's chassis, ripping the spark from within it. "That is so cool!" A blast knocked me on my aft. Miko rolling down my arm into the dirt, safely. I groaned, but as I looked up, Shockwave held the girl in his grasp. 

-Smokescreen, what is your position?- 

Before I knew it, the purple canon was shoved to my stomach, my back against the ground. Shockwaves ped holding me in my place. I growled beneath the ped. Miko screamed as she wiggled in Shockwaves grip. Shockwaves canon glowed, the sound of it powering up entered my circuits, "Miko, look away. This is when you have to listen to me. Look. Away." Miko gasps as her desperate attempts to free herself slows. Tears welling in her eyes. 

-Right above you- 

My optics shifted up, Smokescreen plunging down to Shockwave, knocking him off balance, though it wasn't enough. The canon went off. 

Smokescreen's p.o.v

My spark felt as though it did a flip. With Miko in my grasp, I held her close to my chassis as my knees hit the dirt. Shockwave trying to catch his balance against a rock. Liquid energon glowed as a trail to my yellow brother. Miko gasped, her sniffles being one of the first to reach my circuits. The next, the continuing battle around me. The last, my voice as I placed Miko behind a boulder, my fists connecting with Shockwave before he had a chance to stand. 

Shockwave took advantage of my blind rage, his fist connecting to my abdomen. I grunted, spitting energon. A kick landed me next to Bumblebee. My bond reaching out. My spark gripping me. His optics were dim in the kicked up dust, but he was there. Bumblebee met my optics, the sound of Shockwave coming closer. Lifting his servo, he fired a couple shots at the much larger mech. Before I could turn, WheelJack flew over me, his swords in an 'X' formation. I stood and blasted at Shockwave. 

-Smokescreen, WheelJack can hold off Shockwave. Miko has to get out of here-

I fought my inner thoughts. Though Bumblebee had just gotten his voice back, talking through the bond was the most comforting. 

-Fine, but you're coming with- 

"Sire, I need a ground bridge at my coordinates. Bumblebee needs the med bay. We have Miko-

"I am sending one now. Optimus wants everyone out of there now, too many injuries already," came the reply. WheelJack scooped up a groaning Bumblebee, I snagged Miko. The rest of the team covering our flanks as we sprinted through the ground bridge.
