Description
(Back at NEST HQ...Ratchet finished tending to Ironhide's and Optimus' injuries. meanwhile Arcee stood by the scout's side to offer some comfort.)

Arcee: you still can't talk, can you?

(Bumblebee let out a sad whine from his damaged voice box)

Arcee: I see. but don't worry. Ratchet will someday come up with something to fix your voice.

Bumblebee: ....

Arcee: hey, I heard what happened in Chicago...I'm really sorry your other human friends were put in danger like this. Shannon told me everything that happened.

Bumblebee: (via radio) it...reminded me...of how S-Sam...died...I felt...really...weak...

Arcee: its alright, Bee...you're not weak. you're young but you're strong beyond belief. remember Tyger Pax? when you first lost your voice? none of us thought you would live after that torture Megatron put you through. but you're still here. and I thank Primus for that.

Bumblebee: (Via radio) But...Charlie was...wounded...because of me...

Arcee: and yet she still lives...don't blame yourself for something that was beyond your control. It wasn't because of you that your previous human friend was wounded. it was because of your strength that she chose to put her life on the line to help you.

(Bee looks at the pink femme, who gently held his servo)

Bumblebee: ....?

Arcee: when you were fatally wounded in Tyger Pax, I blamed myself for being unable to prevent Megatron from damaging your voice. and so I swore to myself since that day, that I will keep a close optic on you the moment we meet up again. so that something like that will not repeat itself.

(Bumblebee felt his spark warm up from Arcee's words. She thought Bumblebee was the cutest, sweetest, and most courageous bot there was. From his big muscles and blue eyes to his muscle car form, he was all around amazing. The two stared at each other for some time until...)

???: AHEM!!

Arcee and Bumblebee: O.O'

(it was none other than one of Arcee's two older sisters, Chromia)

Chromia: Am I interrupting anything?

Arcee: Oh, N-No, C-Chromia, I-Its not what you think! We were just talking and uhh....OnO

Chromia: Alright then...

Arcee: so what brings you here?

Chromia: Ratchet needs the Sugar Bee for another voice checking thing.

Bumblebee: OwO

Arcee: Ohhh okay...

(Shannon follows Bee to Ratchet's Medical Bay, where he does another examination on Bee's voice box in hopes to someday repair it so he could talk again)

Shannon: Hey, Ratchet? I know it might seems out of nowhere but....what happened to Bumblebee's voice box?

Ratchet: It was...severely damaged in battle.

Shannon: How?

Ratchet: Tragically. That...is not something I would like to remember...from my perspective that is.

(FLASHBACK TO THE WAR ON CYBERTRON)

''Tyger Pax, Planet Cybertron''

(the once shining city of Tyger Pax was now but a warzone between the warring Autobot Resistance and the Decepticon Army. Bumblebee is seen running with a small team of bots throughout the warzone, and several Decepticons surrounded them)

Ratchet: (Narrates) our brave scout led a small team of Autobots to the AllSpark's location hidden in Tyger Pax. just before its Launch into Space to keep it out of Megatron's hands. Decepticons were in every direction, and Bumblebee's team struggled to survive, and only few did. Megatron appeared before Bumblebee and interrogated him about the AllSpark's whereabouts. but he refused to provide any intel. the Decepticon warlord tore off his arm, and just before he began to interrogate Arcee, Megatron saw the AllSpark blasting off into space, far from his reach. Bumblebee bravely went through all this for the sake of the AllSpark's safety. but in the end, paid a heavy price for his courage

(Megatron growls in anger. Bumblebee tackles Megatron before he could pursue the cube. and so, Megatron grabs him by the neck, and cuts off his voice, before dropping him to the ground.)

Ratchet: (Narrates) Megatron left Bumblebee for scrap... but Arcee managed to call for help and so, Autobot troops found him and evacuated him from the battlefield.
and a field medic manages to stabilize his condition.

(END OF FLASHBACK)

Shannon: So Bumblebee owes his life to the field medic who saved his life.

Ratchet: I suppose. although that medic...(looks down with regretful optics) could have done better.

(Shannon remained silent and looks down. feeling sorry for both the Chief Medical Officer and the Young Scout.)

(Ratchet activates a small laser to Bee's throat)

Ratchet: And so, I've been working on fixing Bumblebee's voice...and I won't stop until that day arrives.

Shannon: I see...Well, Bee may not be able to speak today or tomorrow, but I can that day will come eventually.

Ratchet: indeed. Thank you for listening, Shannon...

Shannon: no problem!

(Meanwhile Optimus is seen, deep in recharge after Ratchet tended to his wounds. Elita One sat by his side, and gently held her beloved's servo. she felt what was going on in his spark through the bond she shares with him. he was troubled. something went through his processor,and she didn't know what. it was then that feeling Elita's presence, Optimus slowly opens his optics, coming online once more.)

Optimus: Elita? (tries to sit up) W-What...What has happened to me...? (he groans as he tries to move, feeling sharp pain almost everywhere in his body)

Elita: Easy, Optimus... (gently lays him back) you still need to rest from today.

Optimus: ...?

Elita: Megatronus has taken the Forge and nearly killed you on the spot. we thought you would die again, if not for Ratchet and Jolt...not to mention, Solidstrike is now his prisoner.

Optimus: (sighs quietly at the revelation)

Elita: ....

Optimus: If...if only I had been more careful against the Fallen's newfound powers, we would have the Forge in our hands by then...and Solidstrike would not have been captured.

Elita: Optimus...

Optimus: I am sorry...truly I am.

Elita: this wasn't your fault. we are all to blame for letting Megatronus get away with the Forge... and besides, you have defeated the Fallen once. I know you can do it again.

(Optimus looks down as thoughts of Cybertron's destruction crossed through his mind again. Elita sensed the guilt and doubt in him through their bond.)

Optimus: Elita...do you think...I have made the right choice?

Elita: is it about the AllSpark's launch into space?

Optimus: ever since that day, my troubles regarding Cybertron's fate never ceased to haunt me. the guilt I feel eating away at my spark. do you think....I have condemned our world to destruction, and our people to extinction?

Elita: If you have not launched the cube into space, what do you think would happen then? Megatron would have gotten his hands on it long ago. and would send our people to quick extinction. and he would likely do the same thing with Cybertron too. I assure you, Optimus...we will win this war, and when we do someday, we WILL restore Cybertron.

(Optimus slightly nods, as Elita DID have a point)

Elita: And....our people would not have survived if it were not for you. and...you're the main reason I'm still here.

Optimus: you are correct...I do not know what came over me. I am just...feeling exhausted.

(Elita slightly smiles, and pulls Optimus into a hug.)

Optimus: ....??

Elita: ....

(the Prime was surprised at first, and he thought of pulling away. but he decided against this, and he wraps his large servos and return the hug, slowly to avoid any pain that was still there in his still-recovering frame. he felt safe as he was holding his beloved close
to himself. Elita is one of the few people....the very few people in fact, whom he could share his troubles with. even in the war, she meant everything to him. )

(Moments later they broke the hug, and gazed into each other's optics, before Elita gave him a gentle kiss on the side of his helm, causing his spark to warm up inside his chest.)

Elita: rest now, my love...you will need to gather enough strength so you can defeat the Fallen again.

Optimus: I will do everything to save our new home and its people. that much is guaranteed.

(they both smiled at each other before the purple femme walked off, feeling happy with herself that she managed to help the Prime she loved.
Optimus layed back on the berth, looking up at the ceiling. The Fallen did a number on him, not to mention he has the Forge of Solus Prime now. Disaster shall befall Earth, yet hope still remains. he would ensure to defend his new home, no matter how much he has to sacrifice. which may include his own life. he put one servo on his chest, praying to Primus that someday the war would be over soon and that his people would know peace again. so Then they could all come back to their true home again.)
