The Elite Guards ship made its way through space. "Sentinel Prime, what are you doing in the Earth's sector? Return to Cybertron immediately!", Longarm said, trying his best not to panic.
"With all due respect, Longarm. Your the one who sent us to intercept Decepticon double agent, Wasp.", Sentinel explained, reading an eyebrow. "I don't care! I explicitly ordered that all contracts with Earth be filtered through me! As chief of Autobot Intel, why was I not informed of this?!", Longarm said.
Ultra Magnus then appeared on the screen. "My apologies, Longarm Prime. But, we didn't want to risk tipping Wasp off. Not when he can lead us directly to his Decepticon contact. Besides, I wanted Sentinel to make contact with the team there and my niece... I wish to speak with her.", Ultra Magnus told him.
Jazz then looked at the tractor. "Only he ain't heading for the Decepticons, Sir. Our scans show Wasp on a beeline for the Autobot's base.", Jazz said.
"Has Optimus Prime, Princess Serenity, or any of his crew made contact with you?", Longarm asked. "No one has heard on word from those goof bots in nearly a decacycle. But, the princess has been sending me some love letters lately.", Sentinel lied.
"Corse it's kind of hard to get a signal to Earth with all this moisture in the atmosphere.", Jazz added. "I'm sure Optimus Prime, Serenity, and their bots are already on top of the situation.", Ultra Magnus said, having full confidence in them.
On Earth, it was pouring rain outside. Optimus and Serenity were seen watching the rain as it fell.
Serenity shivered slightly, as Optimus wrapped his arms around her. "Are you cold?", Optimus asked.
"Just a little. More than anything, I'm worried about my uncle and Cybertron.", Serenity replied. Optimus then looked down at her, thinking he was the luckiest bot alive.
"Everything will be okay.", Optimus reassured her. Serenity continued to look outside and struggle further into Optimus's arms.
"Do you ever miss it?", Serenity asked. "What?", Optimus asked her.
"Home... Cybertron?", Serenity asked. "Sometimes. But, being here with you makes it easier.", Optimus replied.
Serenity turned and kissed him on the cheek. "I can always say the same about you, my love.", Serenity said.
Optimus then hugged her tighter. "But, Optimus... If things go wrong, I'll need to go back to Cybertron.", Serenity continued.
Optimus looked up at the clouds. "Nothing will go wrong. I'll protect you and Cybertron with all my spark.", Optimus said.
Serenity pulled away and looked into Optimus's eyes. "But, Optimus! You can't protect everything.", Serenity said.
"Then, I'll protect what I care about the most.", Optimus said. Then, like a magnetic, Optimus and Serenity were coming closer.
Their lips inches away... "Serenity!", Sari called out.
The moment was soon broken. Serenity then turned on her comm.
"Yeah, Sari? What is it?", Serenity asked. "Can you come over here? I've been reading all the Cybertronian history you gave me. But, I came across the part about... Mom. Never going to get used to that. Anyway, can you come over to help me? I feel like I would get a better connection about her if I hear it from you.", Sari replied.
Serenity looked at Optimus, as he nodded. "Be there in a few nano clicks.", Serenity said. She then looked up at Optimus.
"See you later?", Serenity asked. "Like anything could keep us apart.", Optimus said, as Serenity smiled and drove away.
A small part of Optimus was disappointed, but he would have time with her later. He better go and check on the rest of his team.
Bumblebee, meanwhile, was playing one of his board games. "Come on! Come on! I'm going to mop the dojo with your sorry ninja.", Bumblebee said.
Optimus then appear and turned off the TV. "...But.", Bumblebee continued.
"Bumblebee, when I put you on monitor duty, I didn't mean this monitor!", Optimus said, slightly agitated. "But, there hasn't been so much as a Decepticon blip for almost a decacyled. Besides, if I'm playing ninja gladiator at least I'm getting valuable combat training.", Bumblebee defended.
"Nice try, Bumblebee. But we need to be on the lookout for any signal from Cybertron. We still have to warn them that Longarm is a Decepticon spy. You of all bots should be aware of that.", Optimus reprimanded. "Sure! Rub it in, why don't ya? You know, everyone else is having a good time tonight. You are hanging out with Serenity. Bulkhead and Harvester are out on a date. Prowl is off having his alone time. And Ratchet is... Actually, I don't know what Ratchet is doing.", Bumblebee stated.
"I think he's going to go spy on Bulkhead and Harvester.", Optimus said. He realized what Bumblebee was going through.
He was lonely. Some of the others were used to being alone, like Prowl and Ratchet.
But, not Bumblebee. He's used to be around everyone or being the center of attention.
Before Optimus could offer some advice or words of comfort, the monitor started going off. "Decepticons?", Bumblebee asked.
"It's definitely Cybertronian. But, the rain is disrupting the signal.", Optimus replied. He then stood up.
"Stay on the monitor, while the rest of us investigate.", Optimus ordered, preparing to call the rest of the team. "Yes, Sir!", Bumblebee said.
But, as soon as Optimus was gone... "You didn't say which monitor.", Bumblebee continued.
He then went back to his game. Elsewhere, the Elite Guard landed on Earth.
Jazz and Sentinel were heading towards where the Autobots stayed at. "Ugh! Liquid falling from the sky? What is wrong with this planet?!", Sentinel complained.
"Crazy! It's like a planet and a car wash. You digging this?", Jazz asked, being more enthusiastic. "Find the others and search this mess for Wasp.", Sentinel ordered.
"Already on it! Like sparks on a plug.", Jazz said, before transforming and driving off. Sentinel tried to follow, but found he was unable to, while struggling to drive in the rain.
"I hate this planet. I don't know why Serenity insists on staying here.", Sentinel said, while transforming. He then started running after Jazz.
Meanwhile, Bumblebee was currently kicking butt on his video game. He was so engrossed in it that he didn't see what was coming after him.
Then, the power went out. Bumblebee soon stayed silent for a second.
"I wasn't playing video games, I swear! Just put the lights back on!", Bumblebee yelled out. But, some red lights were turned on, instead.
"Bumblebot...", a male voice shouted out. "Who's there? Never mind, I don't want to know!", Bumblebee said, starting to get scared.
He then turned to be met with a familiar face. "Wasp!?What are you doing here?", Bumblebee asked.
"Oh, not much! Just seeking revenge on the one who ruined Wasp's life!", Wasp said, forcing Bumblebee to back up, as he started walking towards him. "Oh, about that... Funny story! Turns out it was a big misunderstanding. Longarm set me up... Er... I mean, you up. Actually, he set us up. Were both victims here right, buddy?", Bumblebee asked.
Wasp didn't answer back and that was Bumblebee's cue to run. "Prime, come in! I need back up! Wasp is here in the plant!", Bumblebee said, as he went to jump behind the couch.
Only to get hit by one of Wasp's stingers. Wasp then leaned over Bumblebee.
"Wasp and Bumblebot a lot alike. But, one innocent and the other guilty! Can Bumblebot guess which?", Wasp asked. "Um... Neither?", Bumblebee guessed.
"Wasp waste stellar cycles in stockade! Lose all of Wasp's friends and never be in Elite Guard! All thanks to Bumblebot! Bumblebot know what it is like to lose everything and everybody turns on Bumblebot?!", Wasp asked, preparing a gun that had some sort of vial connected to it and removed his faceplate. Bumblebee soon shuddered.
"Bumblebot will...", Wasp said, as he shot the gun at Bumblebee. "Is he alright?", Bulkhead asked, as Bumblebee started to open his optics.
His vision was blurry, though. "Look! He's coming back online!", Ratchet said, pushing Harvester slightly behind him.
"Wasp put up a tough fight. But, Bumblebot way tougher.", Wasp said, now looking exactly like Bumblebee. Bumblebee then sat up, rubbing his eyes at what he was seeing.
"That's not me! Wasp took my body! I'm really Bumblebee!", Bumblebee tried to explain. "Same crazy Wasp. But, he's way uglier than I remember.", Bulkhead said.
"Wasp not that ugly!", Wasp said. "Why does your voice sound like it's got a bug in it?", Ratchet asked.
"And why is your mask down?", Prowl asked. Harvester then stepped out from behind Ratchet.
"And do you keep talking in the third person?", Harvester asked. Everyone then turned their eyes back to Wasp.
"My mask is jammed. Must be a computer glitch with rain.", Wasp said, seeing that everyone was still looking at him. He then tried to get the attention back onto Bumblebee.
"Traitor! Throw him in the stockade!", Wasp continued. "Hold your horsepower, Bumblebee.", Optimus said.
"I thought he was innocent.", Serenity added. "Does he look innocent?", Wasp asked.
Serenity then stepped forward placing a hand on Bumblebee. "Look, I know he treats you badly. But, we know he's not a traitor.", Serenity replied.
Wasp looked at Serenity, then at her hand on his shoulder. "No offense, Beautiful.~ But, you don't know him as I do.", Wasp said, while flirting at the princess.
Serenity was slightly taken back by that. She knew Wasp from boot camp.
Not to mention, Bumblebee doesn't flirt with her since he knew Optimus and her were a couple. Optimus stood between the two, with an angry expression on his face.
"He's a fake! He's impersonating me! He switches our paint jobs!", Bumblebee yelled out. "And helmets!", Bumblebee added.
Everyone shook their heads, except Serenity. "And voice synthesizers!", Bumblebee yelled out.
Once again everyone, but Serenity shook their heads. "Poor, Wasp. All those stellar cycles in the stockade must have scrambled his circuits. He's clearly a danger to himself and all those around him.", Wasp said.
Ratchet then started to bring out the status cuffs. "No! It's me guys! No!", Bumblebee shouted out, before shooting his stinger at the status cuffs and the lights.
He then went on the run. "Where did he go?", Bulkhead asked.
"He couldn't have gone far! Transform and roll out!", Optimus ordered. But, before anyone could leave, Sentinel and Jazz soon arrived.
"Don't you answer your hailing frequencies anymore, Optimus?", Sentinel asked. "So, have you bots been ignoring me this whole time or too busy cozying up to organics to pick up a comlink?", Sentinel continued.
He then turned to Serenity and smirked. "Hey, Seri! These rust buckets have been treating you well, right?", Sentinel asked.
Serenity didn't acknowledge the last part, however. "We lost Teletrain 1 and communication with Cybertron after our battle with Megatron.", Serenity stated, flatly, while crossing her arms.
Sentinel was slightly surprised, but quickly covered it. "We'll be in hot pursuit of a Decepticon's spy.", Sentinel said, as he tried to brag about himself more.
"Oh, you mean the one you just let get away?", Optimus asked. Serenity tried to hold in a snicker, but a small one escaped her.
"Well, just don't sit there with your engines idling! This location needs to be locked down! We need to get a bodyguard on Serenity, too! I need a sit rap! Stat!", Sentinel said, as he started ordering everyone around. "Sit what? Where?", Bulkhead asked.
"That's just Sentinel drive for... Situation report.", Jazz translated. "And I don't need a bodyguard! I can take care of myself.", Serenity said, as she transformed and started chasing after Bumblebee.
"I just hope I get to him first...", Serenity thought. "Do I have to do everything myself?", Sentinel asked, as he started to chase after Serenity.
But, Optimus stopped him. "Slow down, Sentinel! We have reason to believe that Wasp is innocent.", Optimus said.
"But, not that innocent.", Wasp added. "Is that so?", Sentinel challenged.
"Yes! Longarm is the real spy!", Optimus told him. "If you got the brass plating to accuse the Autobot Chief Intel of spying for the Decepticon's, you slag well better have proof!", Sentinel shouted out.
"Bumblebee, tell Sentinel what you know about Longarm.", Optimus ordered. "Um... He's got really long arms?", Wasp said.
Optimus then looked down at him. "Just stay out of our way, Prime. And I'll be the one protecting Serenity.", Sentinel said, as they went after Bumblebee.
"Sentinel, wait! Okay, we have to split up and find Wasp, before they do. Ratchet and Harvester with me. Transform and roll out." Optimus said. "Wasp... I mean, Bumblebot... I mean, I will stay here in case Bumblebot... I mean, Wasp comes back.", Wasp said, as they left, before wiping the nervousness from his brow.
On Cybertron, Longarm walked into his private quarters, before transforming into his true self, Shockwave. "Megatron, this is Shockwave! Do you read me? Come in, Megatron!", Shockwave said, only to be met with static.
"If Optimus, Serenity, and their crew make contact with Ultra Magnus, my cover will be brown at any cycle now. If you receive this message, know that I'm taking matters into my own servos. Shockwave out!", Shockwave continued. "Do you think Bumblebee was acting a little odd, Ratchet?", Harvester asked.
"He's probably just spooked by his old rival showing up on Earth.", Ratchet answered. "Well, he's also been kind of lonely lately. That might also have something to do with it.", Optimus suggested.
Then, three jets went flying overhead. The Autobots transformed, while looking at where the jets went.
"I've never seen organics pilot planes like that.", Optimus said. "Decepticons!", The trio said.
Elsewhere, Bumblebee was trying his best to show who he truly was. "It's not even fading! What kind of paint job it this?!", Bumblebee said, trying to wash it off.
Then, an orange jet flew in one side of the ally, while a blue one covered the other. A purple one remained above.
Bumblebee then gave out a yelp. "Decepticons! Why did it have to be Decepticons? Sorry, I don't think I know you guys.", Bumblebee said.
"It's okay!", the orange one said. "We know who are you!", the blue one said, blowing wind at Bumblebee.
While the orange one turns his hand into a fire. "Does anyone not wanna slag Wasp?", Bumblebee asked, before transforming and driving against the wind.
Then, the orange one fell down, revealing Ratchet behind him. "If anyone slags Wasp, it's us.", Ratchet said.
"Ratchet! Boy, am I glad to see yoooouuu!", Bumblebee yelled out, as he transformed into bot mode and went flying right into the purple jet. "Nuts and bolts! There go our fugitive!", Ratchet shouted out.
"Brother, we need to go after sister!", The blue bot said, while helping up the orange one. "First, we will make a tag team.", the orange said, but the blue one was knocked down by Optimus.
"Why don't you try one on one first?", the blue one asked. Ratchet tried to hit the orange one, but he ran up the wall and out of the wall.
"I think this bot is too slow. Must be fast like fire.", the orange one said, while hitting Ratchet in the face. Harvester rushed over to her sire to make sure he was alright.
Optimus kept trying to hit the blue one, but he was using his power to be faster. "Maybe easier if I'm just standing still?", the blue one asked.
Both brothers ended up back to back. "It's time to...", the blue one started.
"Double up!", the orange one finished. As they both transformed into one huge bot.
"Nice trick, fly bots! But, how is that going to help-", Ratchet said. But, he was cut off, as he was hit in the face again.
Optimus then tackled the new bot and Sentinel tried to drive over, skidding as he was doing so. "Have you blown a head gasket, Optimus? These two are my soldiers.", Sentinel said.
"Jetfire and Jetstorm! Fall in!", Sentinel ordered. "Sir! Yes, sir!", they both said, before detransforming.
"Impossible! No Autobot can fly!", Ratchet said. "Rules were meant to be broken. You got to tune up, old bot.", Jazz said.
"While you've been busy rusting on this moist landed rock. We've been making some improvements back on Cybertron. We upgraded these twins and their sister, while downloading some aspects from Starscream, while we had him in captivity. Hey, Where is Starfire?", Sentinel asked. "She got hit by the fugitive bot. She taking him on right now.", both brothers said.
"This would have been some great information, before we nearly slagged each other!", Optimus snapped. "All the more reason you back off and let the Elite Guard handle the spy and the princess.", Sentinel said.
"But, Wasp isn't a spy! That is what I've been trying to tell you! The real double agent is still on Cybertron! And Serenity is safe here with me!", Optimus yelled out. "My orders come straight from Ultra Magnus! So, don't go sticking your sensors into things you know nothing about! And as long as they are my bots, they follow my orders! Now, get out there and find that fugitive bot and your sister!", Sentinel ordered the brothers.
They both saluted and took off. Meanwhile...
"Don't you move, fugitive!", the purple jet said, as she had Bumblebee pinned against the wall. Her hands were powering up while doing so.
"It's you!", Bumblebee exclaimed. "You're the same femm bot I met before I went into boot camp!", Bumblebee exclaimed.
"Yeah, the same one you tried to flirt with and treated badly. I've been wanting to put you back behind bars for a long time, Wasp!", the purple jet said, throwing Bumblebee onto the ground. She then went to shoot what looked like stars at Bumblebee, as he dodged.
"Wait! I'm not really Wasp! I'm Bumblebee, Star!", Bumblebee said. Jetstar stopped herself from hitting Bumblebee.
She then looked at him. "I only told that yellow bot that my name was Star. Is it really you? What happened?", Jetstar asked.
"I don't know. Wasp switched places with me.", Bumblebee replied. Then, an engine caught their audio and a familiar motorcycle drove over and transformed, while holding a wand.
"Step away from the bot, Decepticon!", Serenity ordered. "Serenity! No!", Bumblebee said, while blocking Serenity's shot at Jetstar.
"She's an Autobot!", Bumblebee yelled out. Serenity, however, kept her wand up.
She still wasn't sure if she could trust Wasp. "You say that you are Bumblebee... Prove it!", Serenity said.
Bumblebee put his hand on his head for a moment, then snapped his fingers. "Only I and Bulkhead know that you were Sharpshot at the bootcamp.", Bumblebee said.
Serenity then lowered her weapon. "It really is you, Bumblebee.", Serenity said.
Back at the base, Wasp was playing Bumblebee's video game. "Not bad. Wasp could get used to being Bumblebot.", Wasp said, before losing the game.
"Stupid game!", Wasp said, while throwing the controller. "If Bumblebot knew real fighting, Bumblebot wouldn't be fugitive! What does Bumblebot know?", Wasp wondered.
"If Wasp be Bumblebot, Wasp must know everything about Bumblebot.", Wasp said, before turning on the computer and started searching. "I'm so slagged!", Bumblebee said.
Then, he looked over to a hot dog cart. "Yes! Yellow!", Bumblebee
