"Bumblebee?" Bulkhead asked confused as he looked at the yellow mech that was lying unconscious in front of him amongst the stone rubble. There had been an earthquake and Optimus had ordered the team to go and help to clean up the mess.
"Yeah?" Bumblebee answered as he carried a bigger stone towards the truck that was supposed to take the stones and dirt away. Bulkhead glanced back at his little friend before he scratched his helmet.
"I suppose that you don't have a twin that looks identical to you?" he asked as he looked at the yellow mech amongst the stone rubble again.
"No I don't. Why are you asking me that?" Bumblebee asked as he dumped the stone on the truck before he walked over to Bulkhead.
"Well... Then you probably don't know that guy." Bulkhead said and pointed at the mech that looked so much like Bumblebee that it was scary. Bumblebee stopped beside Bulkhead and blinked in confusion.
"Bumblebee! Bulkhead! Keep working or else we won't get this done before sunset!" Optimus yelled at the two youngest bots on the team when he noticed that they had stopped working.
"Um... Boss-bot?" Bumblebee yelled back, neither him or Bulkhead moved from their spots. They continued to stare at the yellow mech. Optimus sighed deeply.
"No, we are not going to take a break anytime soon." Optimus said and got ready to smash another rock.
"No! It's not that! You should come and see this!" Bumblebee yelled and Optimus sighed again as he put his ax away and walked over to Bumblebee and Bulkhead.
"What should I see?" Optimus asked but fell silent when he saw the mech in the rubble.
"It's scary that he look so much like you buddy." Bulkhead said and Bumblebee nodded.
"It is a bit scary." he admitted.
"Bulkhead, Bumblebee. Get that mech out of there. Ratchet! We have a mech injured! You need to come over here!" Optimus yelled and Bulkhead and Bumblebee hurried to set the mech free. Soon they were able to hear Ratchet's grumblings as the old medic came closer.
"Who is the slagger that got hurt this time? Bumblebee?" Ratchet grumbled as he came closer the the three.
"Well, kind of." Optimus said and let the medic forward.
"What do you mean by 'kind of'?!" Ratchet snapped but fell silent when he saw two Bumblebees. He blinked and rubbed his eyes.
"Are my optics betraying me or have someone cloned Bumblebee?" Ratchet asked as he looked at Bumblebee and Bulkhead when they carefully took out Bumblebee's look-a-like from the stone rubble and lying him down on the ground.
"I'm not sure but what I do know is that he is hurt. Can you take a look on him Ratchet?" Optimus said and looked at the old medic. Ratchet sighed before he knelt down beside the unconscious mech and started to run quick scans over the mech.
"Hmm. Nothing life threatening... Though his injuries are serious. I need him in my med bay so I can properly repair him. And run some more in depth scans to see if he is carrying any viruses or some deeper damage that I couldn't detect here." he concluded after a little while as he put away his scanner.
"Bulkhead, can you bring him back to base? I want this to be over with." he grumbled and Bulkhead nodded and picked up the mech.
"See you later at the base. Contact me if something goes wrong Ratchet." Optimus said and only got grumbles as an answer as Ratchet and Bulkhead walked away towards the base.
"Soo... This means break?" Bumblebee asked hopefully but yelped and hurried away to continue to work when Optimus glared at him. Optimus looked after Bumblebee before he sighed again and went back to work, they had now to work harder to get this done.
AN: ... I began to write a one-shot. It's over 6 pages and still counting. ... I hate this plot bunny I have. It won't go away o.o
I will break what I have written so far into chapters. Sometimes the chapters are short(like this one) and other times it's longer.
So I hope that this will an intresting read. Not much right now but it will get better later. I hope. And I really hope that I have been able to keep them out of OOC too much.
Anyway, enjoy this small chapter :)
