Another chapter! Whoo!
NetherOnyx: yeah, sorry about that… my brother was the one that suggested Roll Crush’s name… and I tried to come up with a good idea for choosing his name… and thanks for explaining the difference. I replace the words soon.

Chapter 23
Megatron took a sip of the finest oil he was able to get his servos on. He waited for Lugnut and Blitzwing to return with the yellow Autobot, his patience slowly growing thin as the breems tick by. He began to wonder where Moonchaser had wandered off to as well, since the Warlord noticed that his medic had disappeared when the other two left. “Probably searching for a cave to use as a med bay.” Megatron said aloud, “He’ll come once I call him to look over my mate.” As images of him taking the little Autobot ran through his CPU, a wicked smile graced his face.
He heard footsteps echo towards the chamber, and Megatron turn to greet his Decepticons and his new mate, but he stopped, stare and slowly raise an optic ridge. “Where is the Autobot?” he asked slowly and in a tone that clearly said they better have a good reason for not having him or be blasted by his cannon.
“Many apologies o’ great Megatron.” Lugnut said, his head bow. “We had defeated the other Autobots and the yellow one was in our grasps.”
Icy Blitzwing changed to Hothead Blitzwing and he said, “Ve vould’ve gotten hyim, but then Moonchaser came outta novhere, grabbed him and vouldn’t let us take him back with us.”
“He did what?” Megatron snarled.
“He took us for granted and betrayed us.” Random Blitzwing cackled and he switched to Icy. “He shot at us and we shot back, while taking care not to hit the yellow Autobot and we had him pin until three other Autobots came. Two of them distracted us while the other one freed the others. We couldn’t fight against seven Autobots—” the triple changer’s head changed back to Random. “So we ran!” Random said with glee.
Megatron crushed the goblet in his hand and didn’t pay attention to the oil cascading down his hand and dripping to the cavern floor. ‘I should’ve known.’ He thought as rage radiated off his chassis and he ground his dental plates ‘I should’ve realize his excuse of not knowing how the yellow youngling faking his own death was nothing more than a lie. What was you game medic?’
“Oh glorious Megatron, I swear by my spark I will hunt the traitorous medic down and drag his chassis back here for betraying you.” Lugnut promised.
Megatron settle into his chair and said, “Yes, that would be nice . . .”

Midnightrunner faltered, choosing the right words to say. He knew Ultra Magnus waited patiently. The intelligence officer took a breath and said, “Did you know that Bumblebee’s a sparkling bearer?”
Ultra Magnus seemed to be taken back by that question since only First Aid, Ratchet and he were the only ones to know. “I have been informed about it . . .” he said gently and asked softly. “How did you know about it?”
“Moonchaser . . . he told me that Megatron ordered him to scan Bumblebee, if he found nothing, Bumblebee would be killed and if he found anything useful . . . Moonchaser found the sparkling chamber . . . and told Megatron about it. And the Warlord wanted Bumblebee as his mate.” Midnightrunner replied.
Ultra Magnus studied Midnightrunner for a breem and ask, “Moonchaser told Megatron about Bumblebee being a sparkling bearer?”
“O-only because Bumblebee had a vorn or two until his spark could split, a-and Moonchaser told Megaton because he thought felt that he had plenty of time to get him out.” Midnightrunner explained.
“And it took him a stellar cycle to save him?”
Midnightrunner held his hands up in and said. “Moonchaser was waiting for an opportunity to get him off the Nemesis. When he did, he hoped Megatron would believe that Bumblebee was dead once he was back on Cybertron and well, hoped that he would stay on Cybertron.” Midnightrunner tilt his head down and fidget. “Moonchaser was . . . surprise to see the youngling again.”
Ultra Magnus sighed. “If we were told about Megatron’s desire to have Bumblebee, I wouldn’t have let Sentinel Prime make the youngling a Space Bridge repairer.”
“Would it matter, sir? Whether Bumblebee was back on Cybertron or on any other planet Megatron would’ve found out that he’s still functioning eventually and he would send his Decepticons to get him. Pit, he would come himself to get Bumblebee.” Midnightrunner stated. “It was bad luck that Optimus and his crew found the Allspark and Megatron’s ship.”
“Indeed.” Ultra Magnus agreed. He ran his hand over his face and asked the one question that had been on his CPU since he learned what happened to Bumblebee. “Did Moonchaser tell you who the Decepticons that raped Bumblebee were?” Ultra Magnus watched his intelligence officer shift uncomfortably in his spot and tap out a rhythm on his arms. Something, Ultra Magnus noticed that Midnightrunner did when he was frustrated over something, uncomfortable receiving or telling news it or thinking deeply about something.
“Midnightrunner?” Ultra Magnus called softly and Midnightrunner shifted in his spot more and the tapping got louder. “Midnightrunner?” he called again.
“Yeah, he did.” He said in an apathetic tone. Midnightrunner knew that Ultra Magnus was a patient Supreme Commander and it was unnerving to have his watch him and wait for him to tell him what he learned from his friend. He wished that Ultra Magnus would become impatient or something. After a few breems of silence, Midnightrunner finally said, “The Decepticon Starscream.”
Ultra Magnus waited and when Midnightrunner didn’t say a thing he said, “And the second Decepticon.”
Midnightrunner began pacing. “I love Moonchaser, he’s my best friend. I would defend and protect him no matter what any other Autobot might say or do to him.” He said with growl. “Damnable rumors.”
Ultra Magnus had heard of the rumors and it was because of the other Autobots distrust towards the forest green medic was why Moonchaser quickly volunteered to become their spy. “And this has to do with Moonchaser how?” he asked.
Midnightrunner stopped pacing and turn his head in his leader’s direction. “Moonchaser . . . didn’t rape Bumblebee . . . he– they both interfaced . . . and bonded willingly.” He said in a soft tone.
Ultra Magnus was taken aback, shock to hear that. “They did?”
“He sincerely loves Bumblebee, when he talked about him and what the youngling had gone through . . . I heard love and worry in his tone. Please don’t judge Moonchaser sir.” He pleaded.
Ultra Magnus wasn’t one to judge, after all, many Autobots that had fallen in love and bonded during the war were occasionally different ages. But still. “Explain.”
Midnightrunner grimace slightly and Ultra Magnus knew that he adverted his optics even when the intelligence officer wore a visor. “Moonchaser tried to act like an Autobot traitor when he was with Bumblebee, but they started falling in love with each other . . .” Midnightrunner shook his head “No, I think that they were meant to be with each other when Bumblebee was older but they met sooner. Moonchaser told me that he was glad that he had bonded with Bumblebee, if he hadn’t . . . the youngling wouldn’t be alive today.”
“Oh?”
“. . . Starscream . . . was . . . raping Bumblebee when he called for help over their bond. Moonchaser got to him in time to repair the damages so it wouldn’t be life threatening and took that opportunity to get Bumblebee out.” Answer Midnightrunner.
Ultra Magnus remembered that day. Midnightrunner came to see him in his office and informed him that Moonchaser contacted him and he managed to get Bumblebee off the Nemesis and on a planet.
=========================
“How did he manage that?” Ultra Magnus wondered.
Midnightrunner grit his dental plate and rubbed his helm. “Remember when I caught up to him in Kaon and he used that virus on me to fool the Decepticons into believing he killed me?” he asked and the blue mech nodded. “He said he used the same thing on Bumblebee.”
“Why?” he asked, a hint of anger in his voice.
Midnightrunner took a step back. “Bumblebee was injured. Apparently the injuries were life threatening, Moonchaser managed to save him though and he thought that faking his death would get him out of Megatron’s grasp and back to Cybertron.” He explained.
Ultra Magnus wanted Bumblebee back on Cybertron too. “Did he say what happened to Bumblebee’s chassis?” he asked.
The silver and blue Autobot nodded and said, “Megatron gave him permission to place him on a planet. He sent me the planet’s name and a beacon signal that he placed next to Bumblebee.”
“I want you to take a small crew to that planet and pick him up.” Ultra Magnus told the intelligence officer. Midnightrunner hesitated. “Am I to tell the crew the truth?” he asked.
“No, make up some lie Midnightrunner. I still don’t want anyone knowing that we have a spy amongst the Decepticons.”
Midnightrunner bowed his head to Ultra Magnus and left to prepare a ship, leaving the Supreme Commander to wonder what happened the Decepticons did to Bumblebee that almost offline him.
==========================
“If they had bonded, where is that bond between them? First Aid never mentioned it.” Ultra Magnus stated.
“Moonchaser said that the virus broke their bond since it was only a few day cycles old.” He answered.
“Anything else?” Ultra Magnus asked and Midnightrunner gave him the information that Moonchaser gave him. Ultra Magnus nodded once the silver and blue mech was finished.
Midnightrunner bit his lower lip and began mashing his fingers together, another thing Midnightrunner did when he was worried. “Now that you know what Moonchaser did . . . what will happen to him?”
Ultra Magnus smiled and said, “You have nothing to worry about. I’m not going to judge Moonchaser for bonding with someone younger than him, there were plenty of Autobots that had bonded during the war against the Decepticons and some of them were twice the age of their mate. I will have him released from the brig tomorrow and give him a choice on what he wishes to do.”
All the tension drained from Midnightrunner’s chassis as he sighed in relief. “Thank Primus.” He said with a smiled, then frowned and asked, “Will I have to tell Bumblebee’s teammates and the others about them?”
“If you want to, but I think that they should tell them on their own.” Answer Ultra Magnus.
“Yeah me too, I don’t think I want to be on the receiving end of Bumblebee’s friends surprise/rage if I tell them.” He said with his lips pulled back in a grimace.
Ultra Magnus chuckled and asked, “Are you going to stay here Midnightrunner?” the silver and blue triple changer shook his head.
“I promised Twilight I’d head back to his organic femme’s home since that’s where I landed my ship. But I’ll be back here tomorrow morning for sure.”
“Alright. Goodnight Midnightrunner.”
“Goodnight sir.” Midnightrunner replied back and left his leader’s office.
Ultra Magnus sighed as his CPU took all he had learn in and tried to decide what to do about Bumblebee and Megatron’s desire to have him as his mate.
