My Badass Bot -Bumblebee-

Chapter 5

I was perched on Bumblebee's shoulder, Raf on the other. I was leaning on the side of his head. You'd expect a robot to be cold but he was actually very warm. I fought off sleep but the sound of Ratchets voice droning on and on put me to sleep.

A hand woke me from my slumber. Bumblebee was keening down to put Raf down and had put his other hand up to me to keep me from falling off. He had put his thumb over me and his index finger over my back so I didn't slide. I ended up yawning and snuggling into his hand, arms wrapped around his thumb.

"Bell, time to wake up." He whispered softly.

I groaned and shook my head no, keeping my eyes closed. He chuckled quietly and nudged me gently. I sighed and opened one eye, gazing tiredly into his blue optics.

"I have to go soon. You gotta get down." He said, voice still soft.

"Nu-uh. Stay with me." I said like stubborn five year old.

"Please?" He asked.

I sighed and sat up, stretching my arms over my head. "Well since you asked so nicely." I said, hopping into his outstretched palm.

He lowered me down and I saw that Jack was here. I walked over with a wave. He gave me a small smile and held his arms out for a hug. After the short embrace I looked to see what was happening. Ratchet switched the ground bridge on and I joined Raf in front of Bumblebee, who was kneeling down on one knee to get closer to his height.

"Be careful, Bee?" Raf said.

"Don't worry, I'll be back soon." He said.

"Promise?" I said worriedly.

"Promise." He confirmed and stretched his hand out for us. We hugged his fingers and he stood up and walked toward the ground bridge.

"I'm so jealous!" I heard Miko say.

"Don't even think about following me." Bulkhead warned before walking to join Bumblebee.

"Optimus, if you leave me stranded on a planet teeming with humans, I will never forgive you." Ratchet said. Well I feel the love.

"Until we meet again, old friend." Optimus said, I think I heard amusement in his voice, but I'm not sure. "Autobots! Roll out!" He said as he transformed. Jeez he didn't need to yell it out. I thought as the others followed suit.

I smiled and waved goodbye to Bee, and he revved his engine in return before he followed the rest through the ground bridge. Raf and I walked up to the platform near Ratchet, Miko and Jack behind us. I looked up at the screen to see Optimus's picture in a square and I could here his voice.

"...without the dish, Megatron will not be unable to aim the space bridge at Cybertron." I didn't catch what he said before that.

"Don't the Decepticons know where their own planet is?" Raf asked.

"Naturally." Ratchet scoffed. "But Cybertron is many light years away. To reach their target their aim must be astronomically precise."

"If Megatron went through the trouble of rondevuing with the space bridge, he must have an alternate aiming system. A remote one." Optimus said.

Ratchet humphed. "From what I know about Earth's technology, I highly doubt there exists a single radio telescope dish on this planet powerful enough to pinpoint Cybertron." Ratchet said.

"What about a whole bunch of linked radio telescope dishes?" Raf said, typing on a computer. "Like the giant sizer ray in Texas." He asked.

"Ziet det det dat!" Ratchet made a weird noise to go a long with the zip it motions he was making. It made me laugh. "This is not child's play." Ratchet chided.
