Transformers - Cybertron and Earth

Bumblebee has been part of the Autobot resistance for a long time, even before the war had officially begun. In the beginning, the youngling just like many others had been swayed by the many promises, the Decepticons had made. A better future, better treatment, better chances at a more decent life, no more scrapping by with whatever was there. He and his Sire and their Sire had belonged to a line of Allspark sensitives though his Sire made him swear to never tell anyone about his very rare ability. If people found out that was all he would become, his ability, no one would care about his dreams and desires.

Bumblebee despite his young age had taken what his Sire had said to spark and never told anyone except two. Well, it was more like the City Speaker had realized who he really was but swore to keep it a secret. Windblade had no desire or intention to loose one of her only true friends on Cybertron who treated her as just Windblade and not saw a mere City Speaker. She understood the feeling Bumblebee had and more then once wished she had kept her abilities hidden away. Most times it was hard to say if someone wanted something from her or genuinely wanted to be her friend.

Luckily for both of them, they found each other and became fast friends from their mutual understanding. It did however come with it's own ups and downs with people swarming up to Bee to ask for favours from the City Speaker through him. Bumblebee had quickly learned the art of smiling beguilely and sweetly while mentioning, he would speak to her about it and reminding them, she might decline. He did not speak to her about it but instead made a list of the many requests and researched along side Windblade to find out who were truly genuine and who were being greedy.

The other friend was his care taker and watcher when his Sire was not available, Meister or as he is known lately Jazz. He was a very laid back Praxian Mech and his quiet sparkmate Prowl was becoming a close friend very fast. Though Bee suspects the two simply enjoy acting the part of Carrier and Sire more, Bumblebee didn't mind, it was actually nice to play family. Especially after his Sire was rumoured to have been caught up in a blast when at work. Windblade had heard about it and rushed to check on him only to find him huddled between Jazz and Prowl.

The four of them had bonded together as a family of broken Cybertronians that cycle, with the two youngest learning about the two older Mechs past. It was not pretty, what happened to both Jazz and Prowl in the past, from being abandoned by the parental units, Jazz to being trained and used as a weapon, Prowl. Windblade had made up her mind to fully embrace her gift of being a City Speaker and try to find the Titans hoping they could help. Bumblebee was skeptical about it as titans were rumoured to have left Cybertron more than a millennia ago. Long before even Jazz or Prowl came online, if he were being honest, but Windblade was hopeful, she had found a clue at one of the Seekers library.

Prowl, "If you have made up your mind Windblade, we won't stop you."

Jazz, "However, please take someone with you. Someone you can trust with your life."

Windblade, "I know someone, her name is Strongarm."

Bumblebee was smug, "So you approached her."

Windblade flushed, "Yes, yes, I was over thinking about it. I'll admit and she's a good person."

Bumblebee, "My teasing aside, do you trust her?"

Windblade, "Yes."

Jazz, "Then, make sure you return safely to us little femme."

Prowl, "You are one of us now."

Bumblebee, "We will be waiting."

Windblade smiled, "Yes, I will return. Please take care of yourselves too. I would not know what to do if I lost my family all over again."

Windblade had left with Strongarm as part of a neutral faction only to lose contact with them which infuriated them. The last contact Prowl had with her was when she was close to the RD - 507 sector, close to where the floating titan was rumoured to be seen. After that nothing, Jazz had thrown himself into work while Bumblebee had been distraught by the loss of his adopted sibling. But seeing that their sibling bonding didn't die yet, Bee kept hoping to see her again in the future, something that kept Prowl and Jazz from losing themselves to overworking.

Then Jazz spoke to them about Optimus Prime who was creating his own group of people to help the civilians. One of Prowl's seniors Ironhide, had talked to the Prime about the many problems the lower caste and normal citizens faced. The young Prime had gone himself to check on the reported problems, or rather sneaked out of the secure castle Sentinel had put him in. Everyone knew how possessive their Prime's Sire was over him keeping him away from the rest of the planet like a mother Predacon. It had given Bumblebee something to laugh about, a Prime sneaking away from his luxurious castle right under Sentinel's nose.

It had caused the rumour mill to go wild but no one dared to report it to Sentinel, not wishing to face the wrath. Bumblebee had at one point even became acquainted with a strange Mech called Orion Pax who would buy Energon for those who didn't have the means for it. His caretaker was a grumpy medic called Ratchet who earned a very terrifying reputation in the few solar cycles he was among the commoners by Orion's side. The medic had earned the title of the Wrench God who hard handled every Cybertronian he saw to do a check up and get free Energon.

Jazz and Prowl got every acquaintance they knew but were considered lower class to meet Ratchet and Orion at least once. It was a hilarious and comical for Bumblebee to watch and through that he met Cliffjumper a member of the Rhetaru tribe. He was of a similar age as him and got along well to the point they both decided to join the Autobots seeing the good they were doing. While Bee got to work at the Youngling care center, Cliffjumper was tasked with talking to people and find out what they needed. At the care center he met Arcee, a spunky femme who reminded him of Windblade a lot.

Arcee was curious about Bumblebee and Cliffjumper too. She knew the yellow Mech had been close to the City Speaker and she had been the reason she and her younger sibling Tailgate survived. Bumblebee spoke of his adopted sibling with a deep fondness and longing to see again. He knew, she was okay but he was unsure when she would be home again, the only thing that let him get any recharge was the fact she was not alone out there. Then, it happened during one of those cycles where Bee and Arcee, were both sent to different places to volunteer.

The center had been destroyed, Bee and Arcee had raced back and started to go through the destruction in horror calling for the younger Cybertronians. But unfortunately they were all gone, never to return. Orion and Ratchet or was it Ironhide? Bee was not sure, had taken them away from the wreckage, it had broken something in everyone and all of a sudden, the Allspark was now a hot commodity for everyone. Bumblebee watched with tired eyes as Megatron and Orion who was Optimus Prime fight to protect the Allspark.

Things escalated when Bee went under cover much to Jazz and Prowl's chagrin and he was captured by the Cons. There were officially two sides now Autobots and Decepticons fighting for what was left of their home planet, Cybertron, to fight over. Arcee was furious on his behalf and Cliffjumper became protective of him, refusing to take mission that took them too far away. Then Optimus made the final decision to send the Allspark off Cybertron in a final bid to end the war. There were many repercussions over the decision but it was already done.

Ironhide, "Bad news Prime, Megatron has gone after the Allspark."

Optimus narrowed his optics, "Somehow I am not surprised. How is the preparation of Axalon coming along?"

Red Alert, "The ship is ready to launch Sir. Are we really going after the Allspark?"

Optimus nodded, "Launching it to space was a temporary solution. I placed a tracker on the Allspark to keep an optic on it. We can follow it's trajectory using the tracker."

Elita One, "Sir, report from Sector five. The minicons have been safely evacuated to Planet Zetra."

Optimus vented relieved, "That is good. What of the Rescue Bots?"

Elita One paused and reported with a tightly controlled voice, "We lost half of the Rescue Bots Sir and Team Sigma 16 is unaccounted for. I'm sorry."

Ironhide clutched his servos trying to keep his own emotions under control, "I see."

Optimus narrowed his optics in suspicion at that newd, "Weren't they on a mission off Planet? Perhaps we should launch early."

Ironhide, "I appreciate what you are trying to do Prime, but please don't give me false hope."

Optimus wanted to say more but Ratchet stopped him, shaking his helm at the young Prime, Ironhide needed time. Quickshadow was his first sparkling and she joined Sigma Force 16 as it's information collector. It had been many vorns now, since she contacted him, Ironhide had been beside himself but he was unable to leave because of the twins. The twins were curious about the older femme but were too focused on training to ask questions at the moment. Sunstreaker was joining Bluestreak and his group to patrol a Star system in search of Energon while Sideswipe joined Prowl's team.

Elita One remembers when she first met Optimus Prime or rather Orion Pax on the lower streets of Cybertron. She had been very skeptical at first when she heard about him and his caretaker medic giving free check ups and Energon to the people. She had gone to see it for herself and felt her processors halt for a microsecond when she saw him. It was strange but she shook her helm and approached the two with a youngling femme, Moonracer, who had been under her care for a while. Moonracer was understandably skeptical as well but agreed to the check up, it was high time she got one, especially after receiving her adult frame.

Ratchet was very kind and gave her a full check up and advice on getting a new set of wires for her left servo. Moonracer and Elita One honestly thought the two of them were very kind and a welcome presence during the hard times. Though Elita was worried someone might try and take advantage of the two only for the worry to disappear after seeing the explosive temper and wrench shot Ratchet had. Moonracer grew a healthy dose of respect and fear for medics that day, especially when Ratchet manhandled a bunch of street thugs to behave.

Elita One had grown to respect the two Mechs and at some point started to work together with them to make things better. She was growing feelings for the gentle Mech who helped the common people and was the subject of teasing of many femmes. Her cute crush had many of them cooing and teasing her, especially when everyone knew she had rejected many femmes, mechs, wreckers, etc, over the vorns. Then the civil war took a turn for the worse and Sentinel Prime of all beings announced Orion Pax was Optimus Prime and his heir. Elita One never felt more torn then she did at the moment, when she realized Sentinel would never allow a no background Cybertronian like her to be with Optimus.

Sentinel would have her shipped and erased from existence first, so she kept her glossa and mouth plate shut. Not wanting to bring harm to her friends that she cared about and not wanting to be off lined, not when she had many responsibilities with her. Elita One buried her feelings deep inside her as she tried her best to ensure the safety of her friends and people. She wanted to scream sometimes at how unfair life was, she grew feelings but it was out of reach, her people depended on her for protection but she was unable to keep them safe.

Elita sat in her office hiding her face plates on her servos and venting her frustration, she was at her circuits end. Why did this happen to them? What did they do wrong? Their home planet was dying. Elita prayed for guidance from Primus begging for mercy from the cruel life they were living. To make it worse, they were on the verge of abandoning their home world because it was becoming more and more uninhabitable. Elita looked up feeling a servo on her shoulder plate seeing Aeroblade, her main caretaker watch her with worry.

Elita didn't say anything and instead hugged her feeling like the lost youngling she was when Aeroblade first found her. The older femme held the younger one comforting her, they would be going after the Axalon left Cybertron on a different ship, Lamaria. Elita had other responsibilities while the Axalon goes after the Allspark. She would have to ensure there were capable caretakers and Guardians still alive to care for future sparklings. Elita had to believe in her friends, that they would return home alive, back to them in the future.

The Axalon soon launched from Cybertron carrying Optimus and his team followed by three other ships being launched after the Axalon. They traveled through the vast empty space following the beacon the Allspark let out till they reached a very far off galaxy and a single star system. Sunstreaker's team had broken away from them to go in search of Energon while the rest followed and reached the star system. Very little was known about this star system except for the fact, this was where The Fallen had betrayed his brothers and the Code of Primes.

Optimus, "Bumblebee, Cliffjumper, I am sending you ahead to scout this one planet the natives call Earth."

Cliffjumper muttered, "Awful name for a planet but I suppose it'll keep invaders away. Their pride would not take it."

Optimus raised an optic before continuing, "A while back Primus gave me a vision of what happened to the Allspark before we lost its signal."

Prowl who was watching through the screen was shocked, "A vision from Primus?"

Elita One looked hopeful, "Truly? We are not abandoned."

Optimus nodded, "Yes, it surprised me as well when I received the vision. I feared Primus was angry and abandoned us but that is not the case. Here I will share my vision with everyone."

Optimus clicked on his visual receptors and activated it showing them the Allspark as it travelled across the solar system. The cube entered the asteroid belt and it's direction changed towards the third planet on the solar system. Bee whirled alarmed when he saw Megatron was right behind the Allspark but the gravitational field of the planet forced both to crash land. The area they landed on was white all over and Cliffjumper was a little worried, they were not equipped for freezing areas. Ratchet mumbled about getting them properly equipped before allowing them to leave for the planet when they heard a voice.

"Put your back to it men."

"Yes sir."

"Remember, no sacrifice, no victory."

Optimus eyed the human who had shouted that and observed him again, he didn't pay attention earlier because he was more focused on the Allspark. They all watched as the search dogs, that reminded them of the hunting hounds a certain hunter had, run off in search of something. The Captain went after the dogs while the rest of the men followed, the dogs seemed to have found something and started to whine. They started to dig and the Captain fell through a cavern and found the Allspark and Megatron of all people. That's where the vision ended and everyone was alarmed.

Cliffjumper, "What happened after that?"

Optimus, "That I do not know."

Bee, -We have to scout them out. Witwicky right?-

Jazz, "I got your back there. Look this is a Samuel James Witwicky. He has active accounts on these sites called Twitter and Facebook."

Elita One, "Is that how they look? What curious beings!"

Ratchet shook his helm, "About that we did a little research. They are celebrating something called Halloween, a very popular festivity from what we can tell."

Jazz explained what they found out about Halloween, it's very interesting back stories which differed depending on the country they were in. It had caught Preceptor's interest as he started typing away searching for everything he could about this Halloween which sounded like an interesting festival. He was not the only one, as Bumblebee and Cliffjumper were curious too now and were looking forward to the mission. Jazz however had some news to share, especially when it came to approaching them. Turns out a child kidnapper had tried to take them forcefully so they would have to be careful while approaching them lest they be seen as an enemy.

Cliffjumper, "We understand."

Bumblebee, -We will be careful.-

Elita, "I think I will research more about this planet. They are not as simple as they look."

Prowl, "I will as well."

Jazz, "I'm researching their culture, did you know there's basically more than three billion humans living on the planet. That's not even counting the different species that live there along side them. In fact, our hopefully future ally, Samuel here has four dogs and three cats that reside with them."

Ratchet blinked on seeing the numbers, "How are they existing side by side? Especially with such a ridiculously high population. Even Cybertron doesn't cross five million mark."

Optimus observed the family. photos that Sam uploaded during the festive seasons in wonder, "Very fascinating, isn't it? I am actually looking forward to meeting them."

Ironhide grunted, "Let's not be hasty Prime, look at this. Their history, it is just as dark and chilling as ours."

Preceptor shivered, "And I thought Shockwave was terrifying. This human who goes by Hitler is like a combination of Shockwave and Megatron. Such horrid acts. I can't even speak of them."

Optimus sighed, "I expected it. The same way there are good and kind beings, there will be evil ones as well. But let us not stop here just because of this. Cybertron is waiting for us to return after all."

"Yes Prime."
