Who's Left (Book 2 Of TFP Humans)

Upon

   Bumblebee's p.o.v

     "WHEELJACK!" Bulkhead yelled as WheelJack was shot down on the road and his car form flipped over and landed upside down. "Get him up!" Optimus yelled transforming firing to the skies as the cons kept coming.

     "CEE!" I buzzed loudly with a glare as she fell with Starscream aiming his weapon upon her as I shot I got his face and he flew backwards and Arcee ran towards us.

     Then, Megatron transformed landing on the road from base, he had drones land behind him too as we were circled in leaning against each other and I saw that WheelJack was in bad shape. "Bee, watch your left." WheelJack heaved leaning more on Bulkhead. I aimed my weapons that way.

     "How adorable!" Megatron chuckled. "I have the Autobots, cornered here, and now!" He smiled wickedly. "Can you ever bother someone else?!" Smokescreen growled as he leaned upon me with his injured side from a blast.

     "If there was someone else to bother you pesky bot, don't you think I would have by now?" He chuckled. "Anyway, if Optimus Prime wants to keep you alive I think he will obey my every word." He growls.

     "What is that you want me to do?" Optimus glared. "Join me, it's what I've always wanted to happen isn' it, brother?" He finished and I watched as Optimus tensed. Optimus fired at a drone so the rest of us opened fire. "Bulkhead, get WheelJack and Smokescreen out of here!" Optimus roared.

     "Bumblebee and Arcee im gonna need your help." Optimus said and looked between the both of us and I could tell he had a frown under his battle mask. I nodded and fired at Megatron then Starscream.

     "Get the bug!" Megatron yelled then everything was on fire around us and smoke covered the road. I dimmed my lights but I knew it wasn't going to work and I watched my step then I heard Arcee yell in pain and my wings shot up. "ARCEE!" Optimus yelled so I immediately tried to find the voices.

     "Hello, bug." A sly voice came from the side of me and I took off the other direction, still lost in the smoke I saw blue and went after it. "Optimus!" I said in alarm as Megatron took a shot at me. I dropped my wings when I turned around and saw Megatron towering over my whole frame and then it became clear, he had his sword unsheathed and had it up ready to go down and I couldn't react fast enough.

     I didn't even have time to send out a, 'I love you' message to the rest of my beloved family along the lines of team. I didn't even get to beep, whirr, chirp, or buzz. It came so fast......but what came down wasn't upon me.

     "NO!" The shout came to me as a blinding yell but also clear, clear of hurt, pain, loss, maybe even death. I didn't know the damage or what had happened but then a searing pain went threw my knee cap and I fell to my knees. "NO! Let them go!" The other shout came and a blur of blue and green tiny bits of purple in a lobbed circle became clear to me.

     I looked to the ground in front of me to see lights of a flickering blue. But, they were optics, blue optics. Not mine but a brother in arms, my partner in war, my age, the only other young one in war,..."Smokes?" I asked and he smirked on the ground as I was on my knees wings straight down upon my back and optics dropped to him. I looked to see the sparks, the blue.

     "Your optics....they, they are too dim Bee.....he threw it in your eyes." He coughed and I felt myself get teary optics's. "I'm sorry." I whispered and he smiled. "I'll be fine, he missed my spark, got my shoulder." He laughed....sorta.

     "You are gonna go blind for good if they don't find us, threw this smoke." He said and I looked around the best I could to see the ashes coming around us and the air seemed still and I felt the pain and tiredness come threw then I stood not caring. "We are getting out of here." I whirred glaring and I felt my optics go off even more.

     "What did he throw in my eyes?" I asked and he sighed. "I don't know but it was....black." He said and I growled and I picked him up knowing he was heavier than me and also older. "It was oil." I said and he looked sad at least of what I could see. "Didn't Ratchet say to not get oil in your optics?" He chuckled a little and I did my best to put on a small smile. "Ya, I think so." I chirped.

     "So, Ratchet told me about what it was like when you were younger." Smokes said and I looked down at him but kept going as much as possible knowing I had been stabbed threw my knee cap. "He knows a lot about it." I whispered and he smiled. "Yep." He chuckled a little. "OPTIMUS, ARCEE, BULKHEAD!" I beeped as loud as I could not caring if there were anymore cons.

   WheelJack's p.o.v

     "No, Doc we have I have to go back out there! He's out there!" I yelled and tried shoving him back but Optimus laid me back down. "We are going back, we need a visual on them first, old friend." Optimus said and I growled with a hard glare set in the Prime.

     "I DONT CARE!" I yelled and I stood up but felt dizzy but stood my ground. A gasp was heard in the main room. "I NEED TO FIND HIM, I need to find them!" I yelled my voice cracking in the process. "I just want them home, I want them to be HERE!" I yelled again and the room was silent.

     Then, a transmission came threw the computers where Doc does all his weird sciency work. :.:Hey, Ratchet if you don't mind me and Bee could use a bridge, we aren't in the best shape possible:.: The voice said and I smiled. "Get them in here." I glared and Ratchet did his fair share of the glare back.

     "Ratchet, to Smokescreen, our bridge is half a meter in front of your position now." He said and the bridge opened. Then after a minute two forms came threw one carrying the other threw due to too much energon loss and a slight bent leg.

     "Need a little help here." Bee said as he wobbled to walk. "Here." Bulkhead said and grabbed Smokescreen from Bumblebee who collapsed soon after. "Get Smokescreen hooked up to an energon IV." Ratchet said and pointed for me to go and sit and I glared as I sat down then he hurried to put Bee on a berth then I watched as he poured something over his optics then Bee twitches and buzzed in pain.

     "What happened?" Arcee asked watching him twitch on the berth. "Oil to the optics." Ratchet muttered with a sad look. "Is he gonna be fine?" Bulk stepped in then Ratchet flashed a smirk. "Just fine."

     "Thank Primus." Optimus smiled. I smirked and looked at the kid as he went into recharge. "Good thing he feel asleep, I have to do something about that knee." Ratchet glared then looked at Smokescreen. "Let's get your shoulder done first." He sighed and Smokes dimmed his optics and soon fell in recharge.

   Ratchet's p.o.v

     I did my job, my work, my role in the team and looked around the room and saw Bumblebee watching me. "Are your optics better?" I asked and he nodded with a slight buzz and beeps and a little click. "Good." I said smiling. "Is Smokescreen ok?" He asked and I nodded.

     "Thanks to you." I quirked and he smirked under his face guard. "Your knee cap has been fixed well and nicely." I started up another conversation to get time to fly by. "T-Thanks." He stuttered as he struggled to stay awake. "Go into recharge I do not mind, I don't need to give you anything." I said and he vented in relief and fell back into a peaceful recharge.

     If only I hadn't sent them on the trip. It was only three days ago when Bulkhead had his side beat in and sounded like WheelJack just had. I looked around the room and saw everyone else had went to their rooms.

     "Looks like it's me and the young ones." I whispered. I pulled up my chair in between the berths that Bumblebee and Smokescreen lay upon. "Goodnight." I whispered closing my optics reaching for the recharge needed.
