Don't Leave Me

He pushed his engine to the limit in order to reach Prime. Optimus had given orders for him and the rest of the Autobots to meet him at the Ammunition plant the Decepticon's were attacking.

Bumblebee was joined along with Ironhide, Wheeljack and Trailbreaker. The yellow bot was worried because Optimus was on his own and he didn't know just how many Decepticon's there were.

As he was driving he could see in the distant that Ammunition plant but also fire 'Optimus must be engaged in battle'. Bee went even faster as well as the others. By the time they reached the entrance of the base they could see Starscream, Skywarpe and Thundercracker leaving with energon cubes in their hands. A sense of fear started building up within him

'Where's Optimus?'

They all transformed back into the robot modes and prepared to take on the Decepticon's.

'Decepticon's, we'll run them into the ground!' Ironhide shouted as he got ready to fire on them but he was stopped by Spike's voice crying out for help

'You can't Ironhide...You got to help Optimus'.

The group turned to the direction he was looking at and to their horror they saw Optimus on the ground. Burn marks covered his metal body and smoke was escaping from multiply wounds he sustained in fighting the Decepticon's.

Bumblebee rushed over to his side along with the others. The young bot grabbed his hand and held it tight 'Optimus can you hear, please say something'.

At first he didn't say anything his optics was grey and his body unmoving. Bumblebee held his hand even tighter and then he felt Optimus grip his hand, his eyes started to shine bright blue again.

'Ah...badly damaged...losing energy rapidly'. He reached out and grabbed Wheeljack's arm

'Can you repair me'?

'I hope so but not here can you still transform'

'I'll...try'.Optimus stood up but he fell again to the ground his injuries were hurting him. Bee grabbed a hold of his arm and helped him up. Optimus put his arm on his shoulder to steady himself, the yellow bot looked up at his injured bondmate even with his battle mask on Bumblebee could see the pain look on his face. (Please be ok) he said into himself Optimus then looked down at him as if he read his mind.

'I'll be ok...you'll see'. He then let go of him and began transforming to his vehicle mode. It took a while for him to actual become his truck mode again and when he finally did he could barely move 'Power relays are fused mobility limited part...replacement essential'.

The group started to make there to back to base, Optimus was being pulled back by Ironhide, Wheeljack and Trailbreaker.

Bumblebee was in front leading them back. As he was driving Spike and Chip started talking about Prime.

'He's got to make it' Chip said

'I don't know? He got hit real bad'.

He didn't want to hear this he didn't want them already giving up on Prime 'Hey lighten up you guys Optimus is going to pull through...He's got to'.

Autobot Headquarters

Ratchet laid Optimus on the operating table and began examining his injuries. Every Autobot turned up to see if there leader will make it. Sparkplug was also helping Ratchet with the repairs while Spike and Chip also waited for word.

After a few minutes Sparkplug spoke. 'I don't know fellows, this looks bad'. But Ratchet continued to work on Optimus everyone in the room was scared that there were going to lose their friend and leader.

'What's your diagnosis Ratchet' Wheeljack asked.

'It's a miracle that he is still functioning'.

Suddenly Optimus cried out in pain and he reached out to his friends. 'Weaker...elector pulse... fading'.

'He's doomed I know it I can feel it in my databank'. Huffer said.

'Nut's to that is there anything you can do dad'. Spike said while he rubbed the tears from his eyes.

'I don't know son will do everything we can' and he returned to try and repair Optimus.

Starscream's point of view

He flew towards headquarters with the energon cubes they took from the Ammunition plant. He smiled with pride 'This day couldn't get any better I managed to gather energy for Megatron but I also disabled Optimus Prime'

'You if I remember we all shot at him' Thundercracker said

'Yes but you 2 were under MY command at the time so I take full credit'. The group were soon inside the base Starscream gave the energon cubes to Megatron and he also told him of his victory

'You did well today Starscream...' and he smiled at him. Seeing Megatron smile was rare but to Starscream it was always worth the wait. His leader then approach him and gentle put his hand on his shoulder

'But please tell me my dear Starscream what is the condition of Optimus Prime'

The seeker always enjoyed it when he called him dear Starscream. Megatron never called anyone else that and it made him feel close to his leader.

Starscream laid his hand on Megatron's arm and smiled back at him, he wanted to kiss him now but Megatron warned him before about trying anything like that in front of the others he was still the leader the of Decepticon he did not want the others to know about there relationship (No matter I'll have you all to myself later on, master) he thought to himself and then he gave Megatron is answer. 'He has been permanently deactivated we saw him fall'

Megatron smile faded and he stepped away from him 'can you grantee that his laser core was extinguished I must be certain Soundwave active Laserbreak'

'Laserbreak Transform'. The Decepticon appeared out from his chest and then he flew towards Megatron and rested on arm

'Fly to Autobot headquarters and learn the true condition of Optimus Prime' but Laserbreak cried out and backed away from him

'I think Laserbreak is chicken' Skywarpe said

'He'll have more to fear if he refuses to OBEY ME!'

Laserbreak cried out again but then took off towards Autobot headquarters

'If Optimus Prime laser core were in fact extinguished we shall destroy the accursed Autobots and none shall stand between us and our conquest of the universe'.

After a few minutes of waiting Laserbreak was transmitting a video feed.

Starscream saw Optimus he was laying on an operating table surrounded by his Autobots his body was covered in burn marks, the medic Ratchet was trying to repair him but he was not having any luck.

Megatron stepped forward and stared at the dying Optimus Prime. Starscream knew that Megatron would not want to take the chance of the Autobot's repairing there leader. Megatron suddenly shouted (now! Laserbreak finish him off) and he watched as Laserbreak carried out his orders.

Autobot headquarters

As the group watched them working on Prime a shadow suddenly flew over their heads. Ratchet looked just in time to see Lazerbeak coming straight for them. He called out to the others to stop him but before they could the Decepticon shot out a beam of energy that hit Optimus right in the chest.

Bumblebee cried out as he watched Optimus being hit. He brought out his weapons and fired on Laserbreak he kept on firing even as the Decepticon flew away rage and tears had blinded him.

'He started some kind of chain reaction inside Optimus Prime. Everybody get down!' Ratchet shouted

'Bumblebee, look out!' He felt someone grab him a loud noise erupted behind him and smoothing caused him and everyone in the room to be knocked to the ground. As he lay studded by what just happened he smelt smoke, something was burring. He got up quickly and to his horror Optimus chest plate was on fire. The blast had caused his chest to be completely ripped open showing his critics and his spark.

'NO!' He rushed over to him along with the others.

'Still functioning...but energy draining fast'

Bumblebee felt relieve Optimus is still alive he couldn't believe it

'Ratchet how long do we have before his energy drains completely'

The medic examined Optimus again and then pulled out a piece of his circuitry 'not long unless I can replace this'.

Wheeljack took the device from Ratchet 'A cosmotron I have an extra one of these but not here'.

Bumblebee quickly transformed to his vehicle mode and told Wheeljack to tell him where to go get it.

'It's not that simply Bumblebee the cosmotron I'm talking about is in my old workshop on Cybertron and to make it worse the Decepticon's but a computerise look on the door'

'I knew it was hopeless I just knew...mhm' Huffer was cut off by Ironhide who put his hand over his mouth to shut him up. Ironhide wasn't going to let Prime die and he didn't want to hear Huffer going on as if all hope was lost.

'We got ourselves a computer whiz that might be able to get some of us through that door'

Chip approached the others 'Looks like I just volunteered to pick a lock, well what are we waiting for I always wanted to visit another planet' but he also added that he wished it was under better conditions.

It was decided that Ironhide, Bumblebee, Prowl and Trailbreaker would go to Cybertron along with Chip. But first in order to get there they had to find the space bridge. With the help of Teletran 1 and Chip they were able to pin point its last location.

'Alright let's go' Bumblebee said. He was about to take off with the others when a voice called to him

'Wait...' It was Optimus his hand was stretched out towards him. Bumblebee went to him and took it.

'Bumblebee...Ahh if I don't make it...I wanted to let you know that I...'

'Don't say anymore Optimus this is not the end you hear me, you will get through this but you have to promise me that you will fight this with everything you have'

'Hmm...I promise that I'll fight but... I need you to do something for me'

'Anything just name it?'

'Please kiss me I want to feel you lips on mine before you go...it will serve as a remind me to keep fighting'

Bumblebee gave a small laugh and then learned forward and removed Optimus battle mask away and gentle laid his lips on his.

He kissed him deeply making sure that the injured bot could taste him. He heard Prime moan as he tugged at his lower lip and moved his tongue inside his mouth, their lip components began moving against each other's taking in their own unique taste. When they finally parted Optimus was smiling back at him

'Don't be too long' and he closed his eyes and rested.

...

Bumblebee quickly took off with Chip towards the space bridge along with Ironhide, Prowl, and trailbreaker. They raced there at top speed he knew that the Deceptions would probably be there with the energon they took from the Ammunition plant, they would want to get it to Cybertron fast.

It didn't take long for the group to arrive at the space bridge and when they got closer they saw Starscream, Rubble and Reflector.

'Autobots!' Starscream cried

'Trash them' Rubble said as he ran towards them.

The group quickly transformed to their robot modes and prepared to fire on the Decepticon's but just then the sky above them turned dark and rain started falling from the sky.

Reflector used this opportunity. He used his power and blinding the group using his light which emulated from his chest. This caused the Autobots optics sensors to go dark and then the deception attacked.

Bumblebee watched as his friends were attacked he wanted to help them but he had to protect Chip at all costs he was Prime's only hope. A flash of lighting suddenly appeared striking the tree next to him

'Bumblebee look out!'Chip shouted. Bumblebee managed to drive away quickly before a tree nearly crash down on him. He took off fast and then Rubble appeared behind him

'Don't split yet runt the party just started'.

He felt the impact of Rubbles hammers breaking the ground behind him but he also saw that in front of him was a massive hole, he knew that if he didn't jump this right it would mean the end of him, Chip and Optimus. He boosted his speed and jumped luckily enough he reached the other side with no problem. He and Chip were safely out of Rubbles reach and he could hear the Decepticon cursing.

Ironhide and the others were battle against Starscream's group. Prowl managed to shoot Starscream in the side making him cry out in pain, Rumble ran for an attack but Trailbreaker punched him in the face causing him to be sent flying back.

'This ends now Starscream' Ironhide cried

But the Decepticon grabbed a tree and was ready to smash it against him but suddenly he stopped, he was in communication with someone probable Megatron Ironhide guessed. This was their chance he fired his ice gun which froze Starscream, Prowl fired on Reflector and Trailbreaker created a force field stopping Rubble from escaping.

Before the Decepticon's could attack again the Autobots all rushed towards the space bridge. Once they were inside the group was inside they were quickly transported to their destination.

They had arrived on Cybertron and the first thing they saw was Shockwave and another Reflector form they quickly dropped the energon they were carrying and fired on them.

Bumblebee and rest charged out and drove straight towards them but Shockwave fired on Bumblebee causing the yellow bot to flip over. Trailbreaker returned and helped him get back on his feet. Ironhide transformed to his robot mode and ducked from the blaster fire but then he spotted something which he could use to his advance.

'Liquid Nitrogen' he grabbed it from the all and sprayed the Nitrogen on the wall next to him causing it to crumble before him, they had a way out. Ironhide called to the others to make a run for it but not before he sprayed the Nitrogen liquid on Shockwave and Reflector it went hard fast and caused them to be stuck to the ground.

Ironhide joined the others and soon they were off towards Wheeljack's base.

Decepticon Headquarters

Megatron turned on the computer screen there was a transmission coming in from Shockwave

'Megatron Cybertron is under attack'

'Don't worry Shockwave I have a plan to deal with them' he then switched to another chancel were his 3 other flyers he had based on Cybertron awaited his orders

'Megatron speaks security on Cybertron has been breached destroy all intruders with rain, Acid Rain!' his 3 flyers nodded towards him and then they took off towards the Autobot's location.

'So that's why you told use to let them win' Starscream said as he approached him

'Yes dear Starscream, those Autobot fools are walking into their doom and with their death the destruction of Optimus Prime will soon follow...'

The Decepticon's all cheered soon they would have victor; they will destroy the Autobot's leaving Earth and its resources to be theirs.
