Autobots From the Skies

Chapter Four

Optimus Pov-

(Thoughts in which is the only 1st pov time for him)

My fair friend has fallen into deep sleep and has not woken up for a while now. Ratchet said that she would be fine but I do not know for sure. Although I am worried work has called me through its fullest. Megatron has been working day and night to find us and occasionally he has had the upper spark. My autobots are in small numbers, and we had gained one. No way am I loosing her once more.

I was out scouting the area when I had Ratchett calling me back to base. Something happened and my spark was rushing me to get back. Megatron's decepticons could wait for a while. Cynder could not.

No One's Pov~

Optimus ran in, running the halls and turns finally finding Ratchett with her fixed body. Her arm was back in tack, and she was awake as he did some final modifications. He did have a look of concern though.

Op-"Tell me straight. Just say it."

He shook his head looking at her slightly saying few words.

Ratch-"Think of Bee."

Optimus did not know what Ratchet had meant and gave a confused look. Cynder turned her head hiding emotion from him, something was up. Something he did not like at all.

Op-"What do you mean? Someone tell me before I snap!"

He truly knew that something had to be slightly messed up, but something as little as her could be fixed. Bumblebee... Her. No. Not a single way by the looks.

Cynder stood walking towards where Ratchet would open the ground bridge. Nodding to him, the tunnel opened and she walked through not speaking a word. Ratchet closed it behind her and went to his computers.

Op-"Ratchet."

His voice stern as the metal he's made of.

Ratchett-"What?"

Op-"Tell me."

Ratchet-"Not my place she'll try to tell soon enough."

Rolling his optics Optimus stepped out of the room muttering under his breath. With that he waited like Ratchet had made it seem like he should. He was now sitting on his cot, a dull space but easy to think in when needed.

???-"Optimus Prime?"

Someone spoke up but he did not see anyone else nearby, or such. It was not often this happened. Com link possibly?

???-"Optimus Prime. "

It spoke again.

Op(Com Link)-"What?...Cynder?"

Cynder-"Yes...Did you figure it out?"

Op-"No it's driving me crazy. Possibly, litterally!"

Cynder-"Think of what's wrong with Bee."

Op-"His vocals?"

He went silent. "Think about Bee." Ratchet's voice spoke in his head (not litterally). Optimus knew what they meant now.

Op-"So your vocals are damaged bad like his? Cynder... "

Cynder-"Do not be sorry. It was for a good cause. Bad news is. My com link is weak for some reason, possibly with me still not being in the best state roght now. So I can't talk long."

This struck him odd. Thinking for a moment he went to Ratchet once more, this time for a ground bridge.

Op-"Ratchet will send a ground bridge. Be ready for us to come back."

Ratchet instantly knew what to do, and they watched as her smaller frame came into view. Optimus being the gentle man he was ran to her hugging her.

Cynder*Buzzing*-"Bounty hunters."

Those two words.

They meant everything at that second. They did this to her.

They harmed her.

They would pay.
