TRANSFORMERS: Bumblebee's Boy

A BATTLE AND A DECISION

CHAPTER 10

A Battle and a Decision

Bumblebee felt tension build up as he set Trevor back on the ground. He didn't know what to do at the moment, given they were caught in a war-zone. He immediately regretted letting Trevor get in the middle of this. Considering the fact that Blackout and Starscream were here, he knew that meant one thing: Megatron had thawed, and he was not far behind. "Alright, we got this," Lennox muttered. "That's the same freak that attacked and destroyed our base," He then added. "And if it's anything like the scorpion, sabot rounds should do the trick."

"Yeah, and what do you suggest we do about the Raptor?" Epps asked from beside him. "And unless that tank is on our side, this crap is only going to get worse."

Bumblebee stared up, getting into a battle stance quickly. He knew this tactic of the Decepticons, it was simple, to surround and blast everyone in sight. Trevor looked over the Allspark, then looked up at Bumblebee. "We need to get this thing hidden," Trevor muttered, and the mech looked at him. "They're creating a distraction, but that's going to mean nothing if one of us doesn't take the cube."

"I'm going with you," Bumblebee replied firmly. "If you're going anywhere, I'm going with you. Start together, finish together, just like you said," Trevor nodded, not even arguing, as Bumblebee turned to Ironhide, who was rushing to his side. "'Hide, I know what you're going to say, but the kid's right. You all have to drive them off until they can get ahold of this air force of theirs."

"That is not happening! We are supposed to protect him, under Prime's orders," Trevor frowned at the way Ironhide shouted. "If we give him the Allspark he won't stand a chance! What happens when you're attacked, Bee? What happens if we can't get to either one of you in time?" He shouted, getting frustrated. "Slaggit, I am not sending the two youngest out into a suicide mission!"

Ironhide shook his head, looking between the two of them. But it was Lennox who looked over, between shots and the hail of gunfire. Quickly, he rushed to their side, his eyes looking between them. "Ironhide, right?" Lennox asked, and the burly mech nodded in response. "They're right, someone has to take that cube out of here. Once the Air Force arrives, they can help get it out of the city." He looked down upon Trevor calmly. "Alright, kid, you see that building up there?"

As Lennox pointed towards a large building several city blocks away, Trevor nodded slowly. Lennox took a deep breath, as if thinking twice about all of this. Yet, after a few seconds, he nodded his head. "You take this flare," Lennox went into his belt, and shoved a flare into Trevor's hand. "And you run like hell to that building. Get to the top, set the flare, and get that thing out of there."

Ironhide shook his head, looking at Bumblebee as if to argue. And yet, he could also see that the tank, Brawl, was already taking on the soldiers with relative ease. Even he knew that this wasn't up for discussion, either they took the cube, or far too many people were going to die. Especially with Blackout having disappeared into the city. "Frag it all, you come back, you hear me?" Ironhide snapped, pointing to Bumblebee. "If ye die out there, I'll offline you!"

Trevor watched as Bumblebee gave somewhat of a salute, then looked down at Trevor. The mech's battle mask went down, and his cannons came out. "Trevor," Trevor turned his head to look at Lennox. "If something goes wrong out there, don't play hero. You both keep running and don't even think of looking back." He nodded his head slowly.

Before anything else could be said, Trevor was running down the streets of Mission City with Bumblebee hot on his tail. The sounds of battle flew overhead, loud and terrifying. Trevor mused that he now knew what thousands of sci-fi heroes felt like, after all, despite the fear it was like an adrenaline rush. Above him, Bumblebee barely stayed more than a few inches behind Trevor, keeping his cannon aimed around. For a moment, it seemed as though the run to the building would go smoothly.
