Chapter 25

Moonchaser froze with dread at the thought of Bumblebee finally being captured by Blitzwing and Lugnut and he barely heard the others talking around him.

“Are you alright?” Ratchet asked Midnightrunner.

“Yeah, I’ll be fine.” The triple changer replied.

“What are we going to do boss-bot?” Bulkhead asked Optimus.

“I don’t know Bulkhead. I don’t even know where they could have taken him.” Answer Optimus.

Moonchaser caught that and he realizes that he had a mean to find the Decepticons. He knew that there was a slight chance that Megatron might’ve moved his location if he tried to take the Autobots to the old abandon mine but whether the Warlord did that or not, Moonchaser could easily locate Bumblebee with his spark.

The Autobots were surprise to watch Moonchaser transform and speed off. “Dat ‘un sure wants ta get some’here fast.” comment Roll Crush.

Midnightrunner knew what Moonchaser was up to, he cursed, got to his feet, took a few stumbling steps, transformed into his jet form, and took off after his friend.

“Do they know something we don’t?” Bulkhead asked.

“Well, Moonchaser was a Decepticon. Maybe he knows where Bumblebee was taken.” Twilight pointed out.

“We better catch up before we loose sight of them. Autobots transform and roll out.” Optimus ordered and they all transformed and sped after the others.

Moonchaser raced through the streets and ignored the humans he sped pass or cut off, the only thing he cared about was rescuing his bondmate at any cost necessary. He heard Midnightrunner flying above him as he reached the highway.

“Moonchaser! Stop right now!” ordered Midnightrunner. Moonchaser simply ignored him and increased his speed. Midnightrunner snarled at his friend’s incompliance, he flew ahead of the speeding Humvee; he transformed and steeled himself in the middle of Moonchaser’s path. Moonchaser’s chassis rippled with rage at the sight of the robot trying to stop him and continued with his reckless speeding. Midnightrunner didn’t back down nor did he flinch as Moonchaser slam into him, he grabbed the vehicle’s hood and dug his pedes into the road trying to stop his friend’s momentum. They finally stopped much to Midnight’s relief and watched as Moonchaser’s wheels try to find traction on the street.

“Let me go Run!” Moonchaser snapped as he transformed and tried to shove past him.

Midnightrunner grabbed Moonchaser’s arms and held him at bay, “Desist at once Moonchaser.” He told the green medic.

Moonchaser’s optics became a dark red glow as he said darkly, “You will stop me from rescuing my bondmate?” Midnightrunner shook his head.

“Frag no Moony. I’m stopping you for a moment to clear your processor. You are thinking irrationally and being reckless right now and those are two qualities that will get someone killed.” Midnightrunner stated.

“I don’t care! I have to get to Bumblebee before Megatron merges his spark with his!” Moonchaser exclaim and at that thought, he struggled against his friend.

Midnightrunner held firmly onto his friend and said, “So running in with you cannon ablaze will save him? Think Moony! That will be a futile effort especially against Lugnut and Blitzwing. You would be killed before you could touch Bumblebee. Or you might accidentally kill him in the state you are in.” Moonchaser stopped struggling as he processed this. “And I don’t want to see any of that happen. You and Bumblebee need each other, this I know. What I need for you is to calm down and wait for the others to get here so if it comes down to a fight we’d have the advantage.”

Moonchaser offline his optics and slowly cycle air into his filters as he calmed down. “You are right Midnight… I was being reckless. I’m sorry.”

“Yeah, I’m the one that’s supposed to be reckless, remember?” Midnight stated as he released Moonchaser.

Moonchaser smiled at that statement and said, “You always have been a great friend Run.”

“I try.” Midnight replied with a shrug and a smirk as the others drove up to them and stopped.

“What happened here?” Optimus inquired.

“Just a bit of recklessness. It’s fine now.” Midnightrunner explain.

“Forgive me for driving off like that. I think I know where Blitzwing and Lugnut are taking Bumblebee.” Moonchaser informed them.

“Lead the way Moonchaser.” Optimus told him. Both Moonchaser and Midnightrunner transformed, Moonchaser drove off following the pull of his spark and the others followed after him.

“Let me go!” Bumblebee yelled as he struggled in Blitzwing’s arms.

“Ah, zis iz familiar.” Icy Blitzwing comment as he and Lugnut landed in the forest.

“Megatron will be most please that we captured the yellow mech.” Lugnut stated as he turn his one optic on the Autobot.

“Iz zat jealousy I hear?” random Blitzwing chuckled.

“Why would I be jealous of a loud mouth Autobot?” growl Lugnut.

“Let me go! Let me go! I’m not going to…” Bumblebee trailed off.

“To what?” the two Decepticons asked and when he didn’t say anymore, they walked into the abandon mine. Bumblebee continued his struggling in hopes of breaking free of Blitzwing’s hold but the triple-changer’s hold was strong, he even tried cursing at the two but they merely threaten to harm him.

Bumblebee was about to change his servos into his stingers and zap Blitzwing with them as they entered a large cavern but frozen when he heard Lugnut say, “Lord Megatron, we have successfully captured the yellow Autobot.”

‘Oh slag…’ Bumblebee thought terrified as Megatron walked over to them.

Megatron stared down at his future mate and smirked as he saw fear in his blue optics. “Excellent.” He purred never taking his optics off Bumblebee.

Lugnut and Blitzwing were a little shocked to hear their leader purr and Lugnut asked, “Forgive for asking oh glorious Megatron, but what do you want with the Autobot?”

Megatron gave the Cyclops Decepticon a look that clearly said that he would extinguish his spark but with an evil smirk answered, “I’m going to make him my mate.”

‘Oh slag, oh slag, oh slag…’ Bumblebee continuously chanted in his processor.

“A mate? But lord Megatron, why choose this…” Lugnut clamp his mouth shut as Megatron gave him that look again.

Megatron removed Bumblebee from Blitzwing and carried his prize to his chamber. “Do not disturb me.” He informed them with a promise of pain in his tone.

“Yes, lord Megatron.” they stated.

Bumblebee trembled as Megatron carried him off, he knew that he could try zapping the Warlord with his stingers but at most that would just make him mad. Even if he did manage to get free, Bumblebee was afraid that the cavern was like the mine he and Sari were in during that time they were chased by Prowl when he was infected with the space barnacles months ago. He also knew if he tried to escape he will just run into Blitzwing and Lugnut.

Bumblebee was so preoccupied with escape ideas that he didn’t notice that they reached Megatron’s chambers until he heard a soft click. He looked up and his optics grew larger as Megatron walked over to his large berth. Megatron took care on setting Bumblebee down and the youngling tried to crawl away from him but he didn’t far as Megatron flipped him onto his back and pin his arms over his head.

Frighten blue optics stared into lust obsess red ones and Megatron spoke softly, “I will teach you to respect and obey me.”

With a quiver in his voice Bumblebee said, “F-frag you, I’ll never obey.” With those words uttered, it gave Bumblebee enough courage to glare at the Warlord.

A deadly smile grace Megatron’s face at Bumblebee’s feistiness and he replied, “In time you will.” He gave the youngling a fierce kiss. Bumblebee offline his optics as he felt Megatron try to force his mouth open with his glossa.

Moonchaser stopped, transformed and crouch outside the mine and stared intently at the entrance. “Bumblebee’s in there?” Optimus asked the green medic as he and the others transformed.

“Yes.” Moonchaser answered gravely.

“Well what are we waiting for? Let’s go in there and get him.” Bulkhead stated wanting to save his best friend and stood up.

Midnightrunner placed a servo on Bulkhead’s arm. “Not so fast. We shouldn’t rush so hastily into this.” He told him.

“Why not?” Bulkhead asked.

“There is only one entrance that we can see and if we head in, we might meet Blitzwing and Lugnut. There’s a possibility that they will warn Megatron and he might either come help his minions defeat us or escape with Bumblebee.” Midnightrunner indicated.

“He does have a point.” Prowl stated.

“What do you have in mind kid?” Ratchet asked Midnight.

Midnightrunner sighed deeply and sat down, “Let me think…” he muttered. Moonchaser frowned, they didn’t have time to think up a plan!

Twilight’s optics had been scanning the mountain and he said, “That’s one of the old abandon mines. The humans began mining it for ore around the 1800s and it been operational until many humans died from a cave in. There’s always more than one way to get in there, all you have to do is look for one of those entrances. Each mine shaft pretty much connects to one another so there’s a chance that we can sneak pass Blitzwing and Lugnut without them noticing us.” He turned his gaze to the others and saw that they were giving him odd stares except for Roll Crush who smirked at him. “…I only know this because I watched an old TV show called ‘The History Channel’ that Nori had.”

Midnight’s surprise look turned into a smile and he turned to Moonchaser. “If Megatron had a chamber in that mountain, would he have a door and lock for it?” he asked.

“If he didn’t want to be disturbed, yes.” Moonchaser answered.

Midnightrunner turned to Twilight and ask, “Would you be able to find Bumblebee and your way back out of there?”

Twilight shuttered his optics and replied, “I can distinguish an Autobot energy signature from a Decepticon’s energy signature and if I mark my path then yes I could.”

Midnightrunner turned back to Moonchaser excited, “Do you still have your Decepticon communication frequency?” he asked and Moonchaser glared at him, “Hey, I thought I’d ask instead of assuming you still do.”

“Yes I still do.” Moonchaser answered.

“I got a plan!” declare Midnightrunner while startling the others.

“Well what is it?” Ratchet asked.

“We’re not all going in, too many will just alert the Decepticons. I’m sending Twilight in.” answer Midnight.

“Why Twilight?” Bulkhead asked as Twilight asked, “Why me?”

“Twilight is almost the size of Bumblebee, he can easily maneuver through those tunnels and his skills would be needed in this.” Midnightrunner explain. “Now go look for a way in Twi.”

“Right.” Twilight replied and took off while using the foliages as camouflage.

Midnightrunner turned to Moonchaser and said, “Give me your comm. frequency.”

“Why do you need it?” Optimus inquired.

“I’m going to use my communication ability to get Megatron away from Bumblebee.” He answered and to Moonchaser he asked, “Which Decepticon would enrage him so much that it would have him leave his chamber?”

Moonchaser didn’t have to think hard for that. “Me. Word of my being spotted would have him leave Bumblebee alone long enough so he could extinguish my spark.”

Midnightrunner frowned at what his friend said and said, “I was hoping for another Decepticon… but I can work with that.”

“Wat are ya plannin’ on doin’?” Roll Crush asked.

“Why, I’m going to tell my leader that Blitzwing and I have captured the traitorous Moonchaser.” Midnightrunner answered sounding like Lugnut.

Twilight climbed the mountain in search of a mine shaft that wasn’t blocked off. He had found two that were blocked by boards and one that had a cave in. Twilight knew that he could destroy the boards but if he had done so would result in alerting the enemy of his presence and so he continued his search. He stopped and took a peek into an open mine shaft, a quick scan showed a few bats inside but no sign of Decepticons. He crept in and opened a comm. link to Midnightrunner. “I found a way in.” he informed the intelligence officer.

“Be careful Twilight.” Midnight told the youngling.

Twilight turned his comm. link off and checked his scanner for Bumblebee’s energy signature. An Autobot insignia began blinking on his scanner and he noted that the Autobot wasn’t alone. ‘Hmm.’ He walked over to the wall and scratched an arrow pointing the way he plan on going and ran deeper into the mine.

Bumblebee whimpered as Megatron ran a servo up his thigh while his other servo held his arms over his head. He tried to cringe away from Megatron as he ran his glossa along his neck. And Bumblebee hated how his chassis was starting to heat up from the Warlord’s caresses. He struggled so hard to be free but Megatron’s hold was strong.

Megatron’s servo trailed up Bumblebee’s chassis until his fingers delve into his chest plate seam. Bumblebee’s spark pulse rapidly as Megatron searched the latches to open his chest and reveal his spark.

“N-no…” he whimpered.

“Yes.” Megatron whispered as he unlatched Bumblebee’s chest plate with a click. Bumblebee watched in terror as his chest plate opened and exposed his spark. Megatron stared hungrily at the small blue spark and caressed it with a finger. Bumblebee held back a moan and felt the Decepticon leader pull his finger away and watch as his chest plate slowly open. “You are mine.” Megatron told the youngling and lean down.

Bumblebee’s optics widen as Megatron’s spark came closer to his and not wanting to watch, Bumblebee offline his optics and waited, feeling the pulse of Megatron’s spark coming closer and closer… closer…

“Lord Megatron.”

Megatron growled into Bumblebee’s audio and sat up much to the youngling’s relief. “I told you that I didn’t wish to be disturbed Lugnut.” He told the Cyclop over his comm.

“A thousand apologies oh glorious leader but Blitzwing and I have captured the traitor Moonchaser.”

Bumblebee went rigid when he heard that Moonchaser was capture but Megatron was both happy and annoyed, he truly wanted to destroy Moonchaser until there was nothing left to become spare parts but he also wanted to bond with Bumblebee right now. “Moonchaser had to choose now to come.” Megatron muttered aloud and close his chest plate. Bumblebee let loose a sigh and Megatron addressed him, “Once I’m done with Moonchaser, I’ll be back for you.” He crushed his lips to Bumblebee’s once more and added, “If you try to leave I will show you so much pain, it would put Starscream’s to shame.”

Bumblebee believed him and didn’t move from the berth as Megatron released his arms. He sat up when he heard Megatron leave and he closed his chest plate with trembling servos. As soon his chest plate closed with a click, he curled into a ball and waited for Megatron to return.

“How’d I do?” Midnightrunner asked Moonchaser once he changed his voice back to his own.

“Convincing.” answered Moonchaser.

“That was impressive Midnightrunner. Where did you get a mod like that?” Optimus Prime asked curiously.

“It was my mech-creator’s mod… he was a great soldier during the war and I was told by the older mechs that he used it to trick Decepticons.” Midnight answered with a sigh.

“Oh, I’m sorry for bringing up bad memories.” Optimus said as he rubbed his helmet.

Midnightrunner waved his hand and said, “Don’t worry about it Optimus, I was lucky to get it after his death.”

“How long do you think Megatron would fall for that?” Ratchet asked.

“Long enough for Twilight to get Bumblebee.” Midnightrunner replied.

As Megatron exit his chambers, he tapped a code on the keypad and walked off towards the main base of the mine, unaware of Twilight hanging from the ceiling by two stalactites. Twilight watched as the Warlord turned a corner and waited a few minutes before quietly dropping to the floor. He looked over his shoulder to see if Megatron was coming back and when he didn’t appear, he approached the keypad. Twilight stared at the pad for a bit and removed it from the wall, he touched each wire and pulled a green and blue loose, he touched the two together and with a beep, the door open.

Bumblebee flinch as the door open and without thinking turned his servo into his stinger and fired. Twilight set one foot into the room and ducked down in time to avoid Bumblebee’s attack. He dodged back around the wall as Bumblebee fired off a second attack and Twilight called out, “Stop firing! It’s me, Twilight!” he poked his arm out to show Bumblebee.

Bumblebee was relieved and turned his servo back as Twilight walked in. “Let’s go.” Twilight told the yellow mech and held his servo out to him. Bumblebee shook his head and with a frown Twilight asked, “Why not? Did Megatron bond with you?”

“No.” Bumblebee answered.

“Then why aren’t you going to leave with me?” Twilight wondered, worried as time tick by.

“I don’t want to go through with this again.” Bumblebee answered.

Twilight turn his optics to the ceiling and with a sigh said, “Well, from what I can see you have two options: the first one is for you to stay here, let Megatron bond with you and be known as a traitor. Or you can come with me and be with your teammates. Either way, you’re going have to deal with this dance again and again.”

Bumblebee pondered on it and no matter what, he knew Twilight to be right.

“Good decision.” Twilight comment as Bumblebee got off the massive berth, he pivot and walk out the Warlord’s chamber.

Bumblebee hurried after him and asked, “How are we getting out?”

“Follow the arrows.” Answer Twilight as he point at an arrow he scratched into the wall moments ago.

Blitzwing and Lugnut were surprise to see Megatron walk into the main room and random Blitzwing couldn’t help himself say, “Done viz your sweet little Bumblebee?” and began singing ‘sweet little bumblebee’

Megatron ignored him and frowning deeply turned on Lugnut. “Where is he?”

“Did ze Autobot escape?” icy Blitzwing inquire.

“No, he’s safe in my chamber. Lugnut called me earlier to inform me that you both caught Moonchaser.” Megatron answered.

“Impossible my master, we haven’t seen the traitorous snake since that night.” Lugnut informed his leader.

“And he didn’t comm. you forr a joke either.” added icy Blitzwing.

Megatron clench his servos into fists, this smelt of Autobot trickery. “Search this place. There’s an Autobot here and I suspect that the youngling will be with him as well. If you find them don’t harm them, I want the pleasure to torture the other Autobot.”

“Yes Lord Megatron.” The two Decepticon said and took off for the mine shafts.

Bumblebee stopped short as Twilight held his hand out and he watched the taller Autobot look around the corner. Bumblebee was slightly annoyed how the other would stop every now and then to look around these tunnels. “Looks clear, let’s go.” Twilight whispered.

“Why are you being quiet?” Bumblebee asked.

“Keep your voice down. These mine shafts are connected to each other and our voices will reverberate off the walls. To put simply the Decepticons could find us if we aren’t careful.” Twilight answered in a whisper. “So keep that voice of yours down.”

“Excuse me for asking.” Bumblebee retorted.

“You’re excuse.” Twilight replied back. Bumblebee glared at the tricolored Autobot’s back.

“You’re kinda mean for a ninja-bot.” Bumblebee commented and Twilight snorted in reply.

“I’m not a true ninja-bot yet. I’m still training.” He explains as they turned the corner and stopped dead at the sight of Blitzwing before them.

“Vell, vat do ve have here.” Blitzwing stated.

Bumblebee seemed to be frozen in his spot, but Twilight reacting to the Decepticon, threw his arms around Bumblebee’s face. As the yellow mech clawed at Twilight’s arms, Blitzwing raised an optic ridge as the tri-colored Autobot’s optics began to dim and the two headlights on his helmet began to glow. A bright orange light filled the shaft and with a shriek, Blitzwing covered his face.

“My opticz! I can’t zee!” Blitzwing screamed.

Twilight removed his arms and shoving Bumblebee past the Decepticon he said, “Run!”

The two Autobots ran down the mine shaft and Bumblebee turned to Twilight and asked, “What did you do?”

“These headlights aren’t for decorations.” He stated as he tapped one of the circular lights on his helmet. “I can temporary blind any bot with them.”

Bumblebee was amaze, but had an unsettling thought and he asked, “Does it work with all three of his faces?”

There was a long silence between the two Autobots until Twilight said, “He has three faces?”

A missile flew past them and hit the ceiling, raining boulders and rocks down in front of them, blocking the entrance. Bumblebee and Twilight slid to a stop and turned towards the racing tank. “I vill rip you to shreds!”

“Oh slag.”

“This way.” Twilight told the yellow mech as he shoved him down a tunnel.

“Where’re we going?” Bumblebee asked.

“There’s always another way out of here. We just gotta find it.” Twilight answered and added. “But first, we have to loose the Decepticon.” Bumblebee agreed to that and they both put on more speed, trying to outrace the enraged tank.

All the while, outside the mine, the rest of the Autobots were growing worried and antsy.

“That kid is taking his slagging time.” Ratchet grumbled.

“Mines can be very big sum’ times. Be a lil’ patient sir.” Roll Crush told the older mech.

As the Space Bridge repair crew worried for their friend’s safety, Midnightrunner noticed Moonchaser’s own anxiety. “I’m sure nothing happened to Bumblebee.” The triple changer said, whispering softly.

“This is taking too long.” Moonchaser told his friend.

“No worries, Twilight will get Bumblebee out of there.” Midnight replied with optimism. He had a brief thought and added a bit loudly, “Unless of course, they run into trouble.” No sooner had those words left Midnightrunner’s mouth; they heard a faint explosion in the mine followed by tumbling rocks.

“Huh, I guess they ran into trouble.” Midnight mumbled a little irked and open the comm. link that all communication officers had so other Autobots in the area could hear and speak to another Autobot over the link. “Twi? Can you hear me?” he asked and heard a faint static over his link.

“I happen to be a little busy at the moment, please leave a message and I will try to get back to you if I don’t get slagged by an enraged Decepticon tank first.” Twilight answered back sarcastically.

“Do we want to know?” Midnight asked.

“Well, I got Bumblebee and as I was taking him towards the way I came in, we ran into Blitzwing. I thought I could momentarily blind him. I did. But no one told me that not only did the triple changer have three personalities but three heads to go with it!” Twilight snapped.

“Didn’t he notice when he fought Blitzwing last night?” Bulkhead asked.

“I was rather busy trying to free some of you last night to pay any attention.” Twilight huffed.

“Where are you and Bumblebee now?” Optimus asked.

“Running for our lives all the while dodging missiles and raining rocks… actually I’m trying to dodge missiles. Blitzwing isn’t even aiming at Bumblebee. Lucky glitch.”

Midnightrunner sighed and said, “Just try to get out there in one piece and don’t run into Megatron.”

“Easier said than donaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!” Twilight screamed and the comm. link went dead.

“Twilight!” Midnight called in a futile effort to reach the young ninja-bot but only to be answered with silence.

While Twilight was talking to Midnightrunner over his comm. link, both he and Bumblebee ran towards a fork and he shoved Bumblebee towards the left.

“Just try to get out there in one piece and don’t run into Megatron.” Twilight heard Midnightrunner tell him over his comm. link.

Twilight suppressed the urge to scoff. “Easier said than donaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!” Twilight screamed followed by Bumblebee’s scream as they both took a step and the floor crumbled under them. They went crashing into the shaft below them and they both threw their arms over their helmets as wooden beams and rocks clattered around and on them. Once the last of the debris fell Bumblebee sat up and Twilight got to his knees.

“Primus that hurt.” Twilight grumbled as he rubbed his helmet.

“Did the Decepticons build a trap?” Bumblebee asked looking up at the hole.

“No, I think time wore the ceiling down.” Twilight answered and tried his comm. link but got nothing. “Slag, my comm. link’s down. It must’ve gotten damaged from the fall. Try yours.”

Bumblebee tried his and got static on his. “I’m just picking up static.” He informed the older mech.

“Might be the Decepticons or the metal in the walls are interfering with your comm. link. Either way, we gotta find a way out of here and back to our friends without running into another Decepticon.” Twilight stated as he got to his pedes and opened a panel in his forearm. Bumblebee watched as Twilight tapped on a sphere and a holographic map of the mine appeared.

Twilight quickly studied the map and said. “Ok let’s go that way and quickly before Blitzwing jumps down.” He turned his holo-map off and headed down one of the tunnels.

Bumblebee followed after him and asked. “How many mods do you have?”

“Four or five maybe.” Twilight answered.

“You’re almost as bad as Lockdown.” Bumblebee told him.

“Who?”

“Never mind.” Bumblebee muttered.

“How much longer do we have to be here?” Bumblebee asked ten minutes later.

“No clue.” Twilight answered. “Why? Worried the Decepticons will find us?”

“Yeah. Aren’t you?” The yellow mech replied.

“No not really. I’m more worried about the methane gas.” Twilight told the other.

“Methane gas? Isn’t that what humans let out when-”

“Yeah,” Twilight interrupted. “But the difference between human flatulent and methane gas are that human flatulent are smelly and a little flammable while methane gas is odorless, colorless and extremely flammable. Just one spark in a methane filled tunnel and ka-boom! Explosion. Even without a spark to ignite the gas, it’s still deadly to humans if they inhale enough of the stuff.”

“If it was deadly, how did the humans know if they were in standing in methane without dying?” Bumblebee asked.

Twilight grimace and answered in a flat tone. “Back then, they would carry cages with a canary with them into the mine and if they notice the bird dead… then they knew to get the hell out.”

Bumblebee gaped. “How horrible!” He wasn’t a nature lover like Prowl was but even he knew that doing something like that to a tiny bird was wrong.

“Back in the 1800s and early 1900s, yeah it was. But later on I think they created a device to read methane levels and carried gas masks with them.” Twilight stated with a shrug.

“You sure know a lot about mines.” Bumblebee stated.

Twilight shrugged again and said. “I watched a program about mines and read up more on it, to better my understanding on Earth culture.”

As they entered a large chamber, Twilight immediately stopped and held out his arm, halting Bumblebee as well.

Bumblebee shuttered his optics at Twilight. “What is it?” he asked.

“We’re not alone.” Twilight answered.

Megatron stepped into the large chamber. Bumblebee took a step back while Twilight stood his ground. The Warlord scanned the other Autobot and noted that he was a head taller than Bumblebee and almost the same built in chassis as him if not a little more slimmer like the cyber-ninja motorcycle.
“I’m amaze you sensed me.” Megatron stated.

“Kinda hard not to.” Twilight replied back.

“I believe you have something of mine, Autobot.”

“And what would that be?” Twilight sneered.

“The yellow youngling.” Megatron answered.

Twilight pushed Bumblebee behind him even when he knew that it was a rather stupid thing to do since he was a head taller than Bumblebee and not taller or bigger like Roll Crush or Optimus Prime. “Sorry to disappoint, but Bee belongs to no one but himself.”

Megatron frown. “I will give you a choice Autobot. If you give him to me willingly, I will see to it that Lugnut and Blitzwing will let you leave this mine in one piece. If you don’t, I will deactivate you and leave your chassis here.”

“Hey Bee.” Twilight whispered to Bumblebee.

“Y-yes?” Bumblebee stammered back.

“I’m gonna do something pretty stupid in a nanoclick and when I do I’m gonna tell you to do something and I want you to listen to me ok?” Twilight told him.

“Ok.” Bumblebee replied.

“Well?” Megatron asked impatiently.

“Pfft. I may be an aft sometime but I’m not a jerk like a certain Autobot. I know to protect my teammates and friends and I would never hand them over to a Decepticon even if it means saving my own aft. Plus for all I know, you might just kill me if I hand Bumblebee over or give me to one of your Decepticons. I know I pissed that triple changer off already and I know he’d love to beat me within an inch of my life.” Twilight remarked.

“What a pity.” Megatron comment as he raised his right arm, his gun humming.

“Cover your optics Bee!” Twilight hissed to Bumblebee.

Bumblebee did as he was told while shocked that Twilight would dare try and blind Megatron of all mechs!

Twilight’s optics momentarily dimmed as the lights on his helmet filled the chamber with a bright orange light. When Twilight’s optics came back online he watched as Megatron held his face with a servo and growl. Twilight grabbed Bumblebee’s arm and tugged him past Megatron and into the shaft behind him.

“That was your big plan?! Temporarily blind Megatron?!” Bumblebee questioned the other mech.

“If I wasn’t fragged before, I’m so fragged now.” Twilight sighed. “And all this running is making me hungry.”

“How can you think about oil at a time like this?” Bumblebee wondered.

“Oh, don’t tell me you’re not hungry either.” Twilight retaliate.

Bumblebee was quiet for a few minutes and then said. “…ok, I’m hungry too…”

After a few more minutes Bumblebee asked, “Is Megatron following us?”

“Wanna stop and find out?” Twilight asked. “Besides, why bother chasing after two Autobots half his size when he has two minions with more firepower to subdue us and take us to him?”

Bumblebee and Twilight flinched as they heard an angry roar echo down the shaft and a laser shot nearly hit Twilight.

“Then again, I could be wrong.” Twilight admitted.

Bumblebee chanced a glance over his shoulder as the warlord running after them.

“Uh, he’s gaining on us…” Bumblebee stated.

“Transform and burn rubber. This tunnel isn’t big enough to allow him to transform.” Twilight replied and transformed and sped off. Bumblebee transformed and followed after him.

“I’m dead. I’m dead. I’m dead. I’m dead.” chanted Twilight.

“You’re dead? I’m about to become the bride for Frankenstein’s monster.” Bumblebee remarked.

“What is it about you that attracts every mech you meet?” Twilight inquired.

“My spunky personality?” Bumblebee asked.

“Mmm, nah. I think it’s your aft.” Twilight retorted back.

Bumblebee chose to ignore that comment and said. “When are we going to get out of here?”

“We need to find an exit.” Twilight skid as he was almost shot once more. “And quickly.”

“Any ideas?” Bumblebee panicked.

Twilight went over his memory of the map and did some quick estimate and calculations. “Ok, I may have an idea. Follow me.”

Bumblebee followed Twilight as he went down different tunnels and Twilight skidded to a halt in front of a wall and transformed. “What are you doing?” Bumblebee asked as he stopped next to him and transformed.

Twilight ran his servo along the wall in front of him. “I’ve been told that if you can’t find or get to an exit…” he knocked on the wall. “Make one.” He spun and kicked at the wall. The force of the kick created a dent into the wall.

Twilight inspected the dent he made and said. “One more kick should be enough to make a hole big enough for us to get out of here.”

“I- I don’t think you’ll have enough time to do that.” Bumblebee whispered and Twilight looked behind him to see Megatron standing down the other end of the tunnel.

“Do you have an idea to get out of this?” Bumblebee asked as Megatron took a step towards them.

“Use those stingers of yours.” Twilight answered quickly.

“Against Megatron?!”

“It’s either that or my being deactivated and you becoming his mate.” Twilight informed him. Bumblebee again weighed his options again, turned his servo into his stinger and fired off a shot.

The result surprised both Bumblebee and Megatron as the space between the two Autobots and the warlord ignited into a giant fiery explosion. As the explosion went down both ends of the tunnel, the force was powerful enough to send Megatron and engulf him in the inferno and send Bumblebee into Twilight which knocked through the dent he made in the wall and out the mine and into freedom.

“Is that a good thing?” Bulkhead asked as he and the other Autobots noticed the flames erupting out a hole.

“Dunno.” Midnight answered with a tilt of his head.

“It looks like somethin’ came out.” Roll Crush added.

“It’s Bumblebee and Twilight.” Moonchaser exclaimed very happy to see the two young Autobots.

Bumblebee and Twilight tumbled down the side of the mountain towards their teammates. Midnight held his arms out and caught Twilight and Moonchaser did the same with Bumblebee.

“Are you both ok?” Optimus asked.

“Yeah.” Bumblebee mumbled.

“Sweet Primus it’s good to see the sky again.” comment Twilight.

“What happened in there?” Prowl asked as the two medics checked on Bumblebee and Twilight.

Bumblebee turned to Twilight and asked, “How did you know that tunnel was filled with methane gas? Do you have a methane reader on you?”

“No. I took a gamble on whether there was methane gas in there or not. If there wasn’t, I was sure Megatron would shoot at me and when he did I was going to dodge so he could finish the dent I made.” Twilight explained.

“Where’s Megatron?” Optimus asked looking up at the mountain reaching for his axe.

“I doubt the explosion deactivated him, it either stunned him or gave him enough injuries to keep him out of commission for a while.”

“I was so worried when I couldn’t reach you on your comm. link.” Midnightrunner told Twilight.

“It got damaged when Bumblebee and I fell. And i spent all night fixing it too.” Twilight grumbled.

“How are they?” Optimus asked the medics.

“They’re fine, they have minor damages and dents and scorches on their armors.” Ratchet answered.

“Will they be ok to transform?” Bulkhead asked.

“Yes, they will.” Moonchaser answered as he helped Bumblebee to his pedes and took a step away from him.

“Let’s head back home before the Decepticons notices us.” Optimus told the others.

“I think Lugnut and Blitzwing will be busy helping Megatron to deal with us.” Twilight informed him.

“Either way, I want to get you both back and fix those chassis’ of yours.” Ratchet growled.

“Home sounds good.” Bumblebee said with a sigh.

“Alright, Autobots transform and roll out.” Optimus command.

The Autobots transformed and took off with Optimus taking point and both Bulkhead and Roll Crush driving behind while Midnightrunner flew above them as they headed back to the plant.

Meanwhile, Megatron got up from the rubble after the explosion died down. He grimaced as he felt pain run through his battered frame.

“Lord Megatron! Are you ok?” Lugnut asked and Megatron glared at him.

“I guezz ze Autobots escaped.” Icy Blitzwing stated and hothead added, “I vill destroy zat Autoscum zat blinded me!”

“Next time Autobot… you will be mine.” Megatron promised.
