CHAPTER-1: DRIVE

A tumbleweed lazily rolled across the deserted highway road running through the canyon on the outskirts of Jasper, Nevada. In the distance the sun was beginning to set beyond the horizon and left the sky in a orange haze.

Suddenly the peaceful evening was disturbed my the roar of an engine and the squeal of wheels on tarmac, as a bright yellow and black Camero sped down the road. Inside the car a young boy laughed in pore joy as the car continued to speed.

"Wow, Bumblebee. You must be the fastest car in the whole world." Raf complimented.

"Thanks Raf. But I doubt that. There was this one mech back on Cybertron called Tailwhip, who apparently once broke the sound barrier in a three wheeler form." Bumblebee beeped and buzzed amusedly.

"Man, I would of loved to have seen that. But I still bet your faster, Bee." Replied the human boy.

The Camero began to reply but before he could his alarm systems began to ring informing the mech that they where under attack.

"Raf, hold on tight." Bee informed his charge. "Don't worry, I'll lose them."

"Ok, Bee". Raf answered sounding a little scared as the Camero sped up even more and started swerving to dodge the plasma blasts being shot at them. In the backseat Raf clenched his eyes closed and held on tightly to his seatbelt and door handle as Bee continued to dodge the Decepticons shots.

One minute everything was fine, just the usual running as fast as you can away from the psycho Decepticons. And then next minute everything went disastrously wrong. There was a bright flash from behind them and then less than a second later it hit them.

Bumblebee didn't know what the light was but immediately after it hit him he felt a blinding pain in his processor and then everything went black. At the same moment the light also hit Raf in the backseat, who also fell unconscious.

Although Bumblebee had fallen offline, the light had paralysed him and the Camero continued to drive forward and with no one steering he continued to swerve from side to side bashing into several large boulders and scraping his sides along the rock faces. Until suddenly the dormant Autobot banked left and tumbled over the edge of a ravine.

As the young mech continued to drop and slide down the steep side of the ravine he fell into a roll and crashed straight into a sharp bolder at the bottom causing server damage to the his right side where he landed. Having finally stopped moving, Bumblebee lay unconscious in the bottom of the gorge with a small puddle of energon forming beneath him and steadily growing.

Still held tightly in the back by Bee's seatbelts, Raf's arm flopped limply down next to his sleeping form now that the car had finally stopped moving. Leaving both friends unconscious and venerable in the bottom of a ravine, alone and in desperate need of assistance.

TBC….

Hi everyone. Thanks for reading. I've been meaning to write this story for a while. It was inspired after I watched Transformers Prime Series 1 Ep 23(One Shall Fall). And it just got to me that Bumblebee was the one who was hit, yet Raf was the only one who got hurt. So I decided to fix it.

Please review and let me know what you thing or if you have constructive criticism.

Bye. XD
