Chapter 15

Ratchet walked into Ultra Magnus’s office “You want to see me sir?” he asked.

“Ratchet, my old friend. How are you?” Ultra Magnus inquired.

“I’m doing fine.” The old medic answered “Did you just call me here to exchange pleasant greetings or is there a reason that you called me here?”

“Yes Ratchet.” Ultra Magnus answered and held a datapad out to the red and white mech “I’m assigning you to a Space Bridge crew as their medic. You have nothing to worry about, the crew is small, only consisting of five Autobots including you.”

The medic took the datapad and whet through it and grunted at the four Autobots profile.

“They’re all a bunch of young bots. You mean to tell me that you want me to keep an optic out for their reckless skid plates?” Ratchet asked waving the datapad.

Ultra Magnus merely chuckled “Not really no, what I really want you to do is keep an optic on the yellow mech.”

Ratchet looked at the datapad again and read Bumblebee’s profile.

“You’re kidding right?” Ratchet asked “It says here that he’s a hyper youngling that…” he looked down again “huh… well that’s Sentinel for you.”

Ultra Magnus steeple his fingers together and said, “I’m aware about young Bumblebee’s personality glitch but that isn’t the reason I want you to watch out for him.”

“Then what?” asked Ratchet.

“First Aid will tell you when he gets here.” Ultra Magnus answered. Ratchet nodded and waited for the other medic to show up.

Ten breems went by and First Aid walked in with a datapad “I’m terribly sorry for being late. I was doing a quick repair on Bluestreak, there was a bit of a misfire.” First Aid told them with a cheery tone.

“About time.” Ratchet huffed “So what’s so special about Bumblebee?”

“Have you heard about the youngling that went missing vorns ago?” First Aid asked as he looked down at the datapad in his hands.

“Everyone heard about it… are you saying that that was him?”

“Mmmhmm.” First Aid replied with a nod.

“Ok… so why me?” Ratchet wondered as he rubbed his helm.

“Because we trust you and your skills…and that you’ll keep what I’m about to show you to yourself.” First Aid told him.

“Show me what?”

First Aid handed the datapad over to the red and white medic bot “You see Ratchet, I was one of the few medic bots that repaired Bumblebee when Wisp and her team found his unconscious chassis on a planet vorns ago. And what I found in his memory files was… disturbing.”

Ratchet’s optics widen as he read the datapad “Oh Primus…” he whispered.

“Indeed.”

“He’s only a youngling and they…” Ratchet felt sick, to think that those Decepticons could…

“We need a medic to keep an optic on the youngling and make sure those memories stay locked behind that firewall… we do not wish for Bumblebee to remember the horrible things that happened to him.” First Aid said.

Ratchet offline his optics and thought long and hard about what he just learn. He online his optics again and said, “Very well, I’ll take the job.”

Ultra Magnus nodded “Thank you Ratchet.”
______________________________________________________________________________________________

Ratchet came online to terrified screaming. He flew off his berth and ran out his room and towards Bumblebee’s.

Optimus Prime ran beside him as they reached Bumblebee’s room with Sari and Bulkhead already there.

“Bumblebee! Wake up! What’s wrong Bumblebee?! Bumblebee!” Sari called into the room as she beat on the door.

His screaming continued.

“Move!” Ratchet ordered the two. Bulkhead picked up Sari and moved out the medic’s way.

Ratchet grunted as he pulled the steel door up and hurried into the yellow mech’s room. The old medic watched as Bumblebee thrashed around on his berth, occasionally arching his back and clawed at the air as if trying to push something or someone off.

Bumblebee continued his shrieks as Ratchet crouch next to his berth.

“What’s happening?” Prowl asked as he peered into the dark room with the others.

“Hey kid, wake up Bumblebee.” Ratchet said soothingly as he shook Bumblebee’s arm. Bumblebee’s screams increased in volume as he shook his head side-to-side and wept.

Ratchet snarled and shook Bumblebee hard “Frag it Bumblebee! Wake the Pit up!” he yelled.

“Moonchaser!” Bumblebee shouted as his optics online.

Ratchet flinch at the name but shook it off and smiled down at the youngling “It’s ok Bumblebee… it’s only a nightmare…” he told the young bot gently as Bumblebee looked around with wide optics “Would you like something to help you recharge better?”

“P-please…?” whimpered Bumblebee.

Ratchet took out a syringe and injects a program into Bumblebee. He watched as Bumblebee’s optics offline and was in stasis once again before leaving the youngling’s room.

“Will he be ok?” Bulkhead asked the medic.

“He’ll be fine now.” Ratchet answered with a sigh.

“Why was he screaming like that?” Sari asked her brows furrowed in fear.

“Don’t concern yourself over it Sari.” He told the human girl and headed for his room, only to be stopped by Optimus Prime.

“Do you know something Ratchet?” he asked.

“No.” Ratchet lied “Even if I knew what goes through Bumblebee’s CPU, there’s no way I would tell any of you.”

“We’re a team, Ratchet. And you have to tell us if something is wrong especially if it concerns another team member.” Optimus told the older mech.

Ratchet sighed and hoped that Ultra Magnus forgives him for doing this… “Fine, I’ll tell you… but after she goes to sleep.” He said pointing at Sari.

“What?! Why can’t I hear about it?” she asked.

“Because you’re to young to understand.” Ratchet told her.

“But Bumblebee’s my friend! I have the right to know what’s wrong with him!” Sari replied back.

“Doesn’t matter, you’re still to young.” said Ratchet.

“It’s best to listen to Ratchet, Sari. Besides, it’s past your bedtime.” Optimus told the little red head and taking her from Bulkhead, he took her to her room as she grumbled.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________

As soon as Optimus Prime was sure that Sari was asleep, he met up with the other Autobots and Ratchet took them to his Med Bay.

“Are you sure Sari wasn’t feinting sleep and might’ve followed us to hear in on what Ratchet has to say?” Bulkhead asked.

“If she has, I have an audio receptor on the door.” answered Prowl.

“Ok Ratchet.” Optimus nodded to allow Ratchet to speak.

Ratchet sighed and rubbed his faceplate “Have anyone of you heard about a youngling disappearing during a field trip on another planet?” he asked.

“No.” Bulkhead answered and Prowl merely shook his head.

“I read bits and pieces about it.” Prime answered.

“What does that have to do with Bumblebee?” Bulkhead asked.

“Bumblebee was the youngling that went missing.”

The three mechs stared but said nothing.

“Heard of Wisp?” Ratchet asked with a smirk.

Prowl’s lip components twitched into a smirk as well “She’s a trainer and educator who seems to attract pranksters.” He answered, remembering Jazz’s stories.

Ratchet nodded “She was the femme watching him along two other young mechs. From what she put in her report, they wanted to drive around and she agreed but as long they stayed in her sight. Sunstreaker and Sideswipe confirmed that she told them that. But Bumblebee didn’t listen and took off ahead of them. They round the same giant rocks after him… but he wasn’t there. They searched and called for him. Worried that something must’ve happen to Bumblebee, Wisp called Midnightrunner back on the ship to scan the planet for him…”

“He didn’t pick up his Energy Signature.” Prowl answered.

Ratchet nodded “A few of the Autobots thought that he must’ve got into an accident, offline and his spark returned to the Well of AllSparks. Wisp didn’t want to believe it until she found his chassis. They found nothing and left the planet. She reported to Ultra Magnus what happened and sure that Bumblebee was still online, Ultra Magnus told us Autobots to keep a optic out for him in our travels.”

The medic sighed deeply “A stellar cycle went by... and Midnightrunner picked up a beacon transmitter on a planet. Wisp took two femmes: Shadowstrike and Winterstorm and Midnightrunner to check the beacon… they found Bumblebee unconscious and damage, his spark beating weakly in his expose chest covered in a tarp. They got him back to Cybertron in time to have him repaired… but there were some damages that First Aid and the other medic bots couldn’t do for him…”

“What do you mean?” Optimus Prime inquired.

“…it seemed that the Decepticons... tortured him and two of them… raped him.” Ratchet answered softly.

The three mechs gasped.

“Bumblebee was r-raped…?”

“By the Decepticons?”

Ratchet nodded.

“B-b-but Ratchet. When Megatron attacked us when we first had the AllSpark, Bumblebee told me it was the first time he saw a Decepticon.” Bulkhead told the medic.

“That’s because First Aid suppressed Bumblebee’s memories of his time with the Decepticons and created fake ones to fill in the stellar cycle gap. So far that firewall kept those memories locked away… until now…” Ratchet told them.

“So he was reliving a memory?” asked Bulkhead.

“Yeah.”

“But why did they leave Bumblebee on that planet?” Prowl asked.

“I’m guessing that they used and abused Bumblebee and when they grew tired of him, they just left him on the planet to die.” Answered Ratchet.

“If that was so… why a beacon for anyone to pick up?” Optimus mused.

“Dunno.” Ratchet said with a sigh “Just don’t tell this to anyone ok? Especially to Sari. I promised Ultra Magnus that I would keep this to myself. And don’t look at Bumblebee differently, he’ll suspect something’s up.”

They nodded their understanding to Ratchet.

“Now let’s all go back to our rooms and get some recharge time.” Ratchet said.

“Ah, Ratchet? Can I ask you a question?” Bulkhead asked rubbing his helm.

“Yes? What is it?”

“Who’s Moonchaser?” he asked.

Luckily for Ratchet, Optimus answered him.

“He was an Autobot medic, until he became a traitor.” he said.

“Didn’t he almost kill a few Autobots?” inquired Prowl.

“Yeah he did.” Ratchet said with another sigh “It was a sad moment; I really thought he had potential as a medic.”

“You knew him?” Bulkhead asked.

“Not really, I was his examiner for his final exams. He didn’t speak very much and seemed to have a hard time opening up to other mechs.”

The four Autobots stood there quietly reflecting when Ratchet said “It’s late. We should all go get some recharge time and I’m not to answer anymore questions tonight.”

Optimus and the other two nodded and left the Med Bay.

Ratchet watched them go and sighed once more “I really thought you had potential Moonchaser… I really did…”
______________________________________________________________________________________________

“Morning everyone!” Bumblebee greeted the next morning.

“Are you ok Bumblebee?” Sari asked with concern.

Bumblebee tilt his head “Yeah, why?” he asked with a smile.

“You don’t remember what happened last night?” asked Prowl.

The yellow mech shuttered his optics at him “No… why?” he asked.

Before Sari, Bulkhead or Prowl could say anything Ratchet appeared in the main room and called “Bumblebee!”

“I didn’t do it!” Bumblebee declared as he spun around to look at the medic.

“I don’t care what you did. I want you to come with me to the Med Bay for a check-up.” Ratchet told the young mech.

“Do I have to?” Bumblebee asked glumly.

“Yes.” Answered the red and white medic.

Bumblebee followed Ratchet with a pout.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________

“Is this really necessary?” Bumblebee asked as he squirmed.

“Yes, now stop squirming!” Ratchet ordered him as he connected cables into Bumblebee’s helm.

“But I feel fine! I don’t need a check-up! I want to go outside and play with Sari.” Bumblebee whined.

“You will once I’m done.” Ratchet said as he typed on a monitor.

“You done yet?” Bumblebee asked twenty-six minutes later.

“For the nineteenth time, no I’m not!” Ratchet snapped.

“Is everything alright?” Ultra Magnus asked as he walked into the Med Bay.

“Just a check-up sir.” Answered Bumblebee.

“Oh?” the Supreme Commander asked curiously.

“Just a routine check-up sir, nothing to worry about.” Ratchet told him.

Ultra Magnus nodded as Ratchet stared at the monitor “Ok, Bumblebee. I’m done, you can go out and play now.” He said as he gently pulled the cables out Bumblebee’s helm.

“About time!” Bumblebee exclaimed with a smirk and ran out the Med Bay.

Ultra Magnus chuckled and then turned his attention to Ratchet.

Ratchet stared at the monitor.

“Did something happen?” Ultra Magnus asked.

“Bumblebee had a nightmare… the firewall holding his memories had weakened and a memory got through.” Ratchet told Ultra Magnus.

“How is the firewall now?” he asked concern.

“It’s holding… but it’s starting to weaken more and more.” Answered the medic.

“How long until it falls away?”

“A day or two… if we’re lucky, a week.”

“Is there anything you can do?”

“I could try setting up another firewall… dunno if it do much good.”

Ultra Magnus sighed “it’s worth a try Ratchet… it’s worth a try…”
_______________________________________________________________________________________________

A large fireball came crashing outside Detroit and Moonchaser stepped out of the smoldering crater.

He moved his head from side-to-side and checked his chassis for any damages. Seeing none, he turned on his comm. link “Lord Megatron. I’ve reached the planet Earth.” He informed his leader.

“Where on Earth are you?” Megatron asked.

“Outside of Detroit.” answered Moonchaser.

“I sent Blitzwing to meet you. I’ll send you the location and be sure to scan an alt mode; Autobots are on this planet as well.”

Moonchaser received the coordinates from Megatron and said “Yes Lord Megatron.” and turned his comm. link off. “Alt mode huh?” he murmured as he watched a M1046 Humvee drive by.

Moonchaser drove through Detroit towards the coordinates in his new Humvee mode. He was amaze that the organics didn’t pay any attention to the military vehicle.

He suddenly screeched to a halt, much to a few humans annoyance as they drove around the immobile vehicle and honked or shouted at him. They didn’t matter to Moonchaser; all he cared about was the sudden fierce beating and tugging of his spark.

With a silent gasp, he followed the tugging, excited and yet dreading to see the results.
___________________________________________________________________________________

Moonchaser hid in a dark alley, watching. He couldn’t believe his optics as he watched Bumblebee play an Earth game with two Autobots and a little organic girl.

He wanted to weep, it had been vorns since he saw his bondmate and he was happy to see him well and happy. Moonchaser’s optics roamed over his chassis, he noted that Bumblebee grew a few inches maybe a foot or two since he last saw him and with a soft chuckle found him still cute.

Being so close to Bumblebee was making Moonchaser’s spark beat frantically, he wanted to hold that little mech to him but he didn’t dare show himself to them, after all, he is their enemy.

‘Soon…’ Moonchaser thought to himself as he pulled out of the alleyway ‘I will see you again soon… Bumblebee…’ and he continued on his way to meet Blitzwing.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________

Bumblebee frowned and touched his chest plate. Sari caught the basketball as Jazz tossed it to her “You ok Bumblebee?” she asked.

“Yeah, I’m fine. My spark just felt funny for a astrosecond, it’s fine now.” He said with a grin.

“Ok. Think fast!” she replied back and toss the ball to Bumblebee.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________

Moonchaser gritted his denture plates as Megatron shoved him into the mine wall “Explain to me how the youngling is still functioning when you told me his spark returned to the Well of AllSparks stellar cycles ago.” Megatron told the medic.

Moonchaser gripped Megatron’s arm but couldn’t get free from his vice like grip “I… I don’t know Lord Megatron…” he wheezed.

Megatron narrowed his optics at him and slammed him into the wall again “Are you lying to me?”

“I s-swear Lord Megatron…” Moonchaser gasped “I saw the Bumblebee’s spark go out on the berth… I… I don’t know how he fooled me or my monitors…”

Megatron brought Moonchaser to his optic level “You swear you didn’t some how helped the youngling escape by faking his death?” he asked calmly.

Moonchaser stared into Megatron’s blood red optics and said “I swear that I didn’t help the youngling escape by faking his death, Lord Megatron.”

They stared into each other’s optics until with a growl, Megatron toss Moonchaser to the ground.

The medic slid along the uneven rocky ground and stopped near the imprison Professor Sumdac.

“I believe you Moonchaser… for now.” Megatron told his medic as he sat in his chair.

Moonchaser rubbed his neck and coughed “You may proceed with the repairs.” Said Megatron.

“Yes Lord Megatron.” Moonchaser replied and stared repairing the Warlord.

“How long until the repairs are done?” he asked.

“An Earth day or two.” answered Moonchaser.

The Warlord grinned “Plenty of time… when I’m fit enough, I’ll send Blitzwing and Lugnut to capture the yellow mech.”

Professor Sumdac watched and couldn’t help wonder ‘What does Megatron want with Bumblebee?’
