Don't leave me: Chapter 3

NOTE: This is the last chapter to my story; I've decided to do something special to Optimus and Bumblebee in the end. I hope you like it. I know it didn't happen in the episode but I wish it did.
This Chapter is for all the OptimusxBumblebee fan's out there.

Chapter 3

Something is wrong; he hears the voices around him shouting. He tries to speak but his voice doesn't come, his systems are barely functioning now. But he needs to know what his happening, with some effort he manages to online his optics. His vision his blurred but he can make out the forms of his Jazz, Huffer, Wheeljack there facing someone.
He hears the angry voice again and he manages to make it some words. Can't go down... no matter what the odds.

He doesn't know what is happening, but he needs to find out but then he hears more words that answered his questions Fight this battle alone...

(The Decepticon must be attacking). He tried to move but nothing happened

(I have to help I have to do something) but he felt his eyes growing heavy, he strength was leaving him and the voices were fading...

(Bumblebee...please...hurry) and darkness took him.

....

He heard something click and then a pulse of energy ran threw him...he felt restored. His vision cleared and the first thing he saw was the face of Bumblebee.

'He's awake!'

Optimus smiled up at him and got up from the med-table a little weak but much better than he was before. He looked at Bumblebee and then gentle laid his hand on his cheek 'I told you...I'll be alright'.

The young bot then let lose a joyful cry and threw his arms around him. 'I love you... I thought that I would never get the chance to tell you that'.

'I love you to my sweet Bee '.

Hearing those words made the young bot smile and he held him even tighter.
'Optimus your back!' a voice said. He looked and saw Ratchet, Wheeljack, Sparkplug, Chip and Spike standing before him.

'Yes...I am back and ready for a little pay back'.

The group cheered but then were silenced when they heard an explosion.

'The others outside! There fighting the Decepticon's!' Spike cried

'Then we have no time to lose...AUTOBOTS ROLL OUT!' His fellow soldiers turned to their vehicle modes and drove out of the base towards the fight.

Bumblebee led the way, racing towards the battle. As they were driving Optimus feared for the others the noise of battle had stopped and nothing but the sound of their engines filled the air.

'There just below this hill here' Spike shouted. The group stopped and transformed to their robot modes. When they looked down they saw to their horror that there Autobot friends lay scattered around the battle field...unmoving.

Optimus felt angry building up within him. He then saw Megatron, he was laughing over his victory. He stood in the middle of his troops and raised his arms in triumph.
      
'Ha ha we are victories, is there anyone in the universe that can challenge the might of MEGATRON!'

He will make him pay for this 'There is one Megatron! I OPTIMUS PRIME challenges you!' He watched as Megatron looked up surprisement filled his face as well other the other Decepticon's. Optimus also saw his fellow Autobots below begging to rise.

'Optimus Prime...he lives'

'Our leader is back'

He heard them say and then he went down to meet Megatron.

'He accepted your challenge...leader the battle code requires you to engage him in combat...alone' Starscream said.

'Then it's just the 2 of us Megatron!'

The Decepticon leader just stood looking at him for a moment and then in an instant he fired.
Optimus felt that impact of the round hit him in the side but it would not stop him so easily. He leaped towards Megatron grabbing him and forcing him to fall to the ground.
But the Decepticon leader fired another round which forced him to back off him. Megatron then gripped his neck and then tossed him aside.

Optimus landed on top of a rock which he felt had loused. He got up quickly and as soon as Megatron stood on it he grabbed it and pulled with all his strength forcing it to come loose and Megatron to fall to the ground below.

Optimus took this chance and fired on Megatron repeatedly until he heard the Decepticon leader cry for help from his soldiers.

From the corner of his eye he saw Starscream approach Megatron. 'How unfortunate...if you cannot fight your opponent yourself, you are not fit to be our leader...I am the only suitable leader anyway'

This angered Megatron and he let out a cry. He leaped towards Optimus grabbing his weapon and punching him in the face.

But Optimus shot out a beam of energy threw his eyes that hit Megatron right in the face. He watched as Megatron fell to the ground holding his face and crying out in pan.

When he approached him he saw that Megatron tried to reach for his weapon but he stopped him by stepping on his hand

'Megatron do you heeled!' he pushed down on his hand hard

'Ah...I heeled for now only for now'

Optimus then heard laugher; he looked up and found Starscream standing before him with Thundercracker and Soundwave

'Retreat and take our...leader back for repairs' Starscream said and he laughed again while watching Soundwave help Megatron.
   
...

His fellow Autobots rejoiced when they saw Megatron and the others leave.

'It is over...for now'

He heard his name being called and turned to find his friends running over to him. Each one of them hugged him and he heard the same words over and over again.

''Were so glad to have you back''.He just said that he was glad to be back as well. More cheers shouted and then they headed back home.

When they arrived Sideswipe and Sunstreaker demanded that they should celebrate. The twins wanted a party. Optimus didn't even argue with them he laughed and told them to all have fun. Everyone cheered again and they rushed to get things ready.

Within minutes the base was filled with music and energon cubes and.  Everyone was dancing even Ironhide which shocked Optimus completely he couldn't help but laugh. He watched as the other Autobots danced a few of them asked him to join in but he declined he wasn't much of a dancer.

As he drank some energon he looked around the room and saw Inferno and Red Alert dancing the two looked so happy. He watched as they drew closer to one another and kissed, this made him wonder where Bumblebee was. The young bot had disappeared when they arrived back.  

He went over to Mirage and Cliffjumper who were busy talking
'Have you two seen Bumblebee?'

'I saw him talking to Spike a while ago I think the two left together but I don't know where they went'

'Thanks Mirage have fun you two'

'O don't worry...we will' Mirage said and he kissed Cliffjumper on the neck.
Optimus decided to check his room, he was about to leave when he heard Bluestreak calling him

'Optimus where are you going the party is still on'

'I know...but I just want to find Bumblebee, I haven't seen him since we got back, do you know where he is'

'I saw him heading outside; Spike was with him as well'.

'Thanks I'll see you later'.

His friend smiled at him and returned to the party while he went outside.

...

Once he was out of the base he looked around the area but there was

'Bumblebee...' But there was no answer and no sign of Bumblebee or Spike. But then something caught his attention from the corner of his eye, there was a light in the distant. He walked towards it and then he heard voices

'Bumblebee is that you'. He didn't get an answer but he did hear movement. Then from the shadow's below something appeared... it was Spike

'Spike where is Bumblebee and what are you two up to'

'O he's just on up ahead have fun Optimus...'the human smiled up at him and then ran back to the base before he could question him more.

He went on ahead, he really wanted to know what is lover was up to. He turned round the corner and he found a small fire had been lit on the ground. Bumblebee was sitting beside it, looking up into the night sky.

'Bumblebee...I've been looking for you, what are you doing out here'.

His lover looked up at him and motioned him to sit beside him 'I was just thinking...this place is really beautiful, I love the way the stars shine in the night and how the moonlight shows the layout of the land, everything looks so peaceful.

Optimus approached him and sat beside him 'Yes...it is beautiful'

'But not as beautiful as you' added Bumblebee. Optimus looked at him and he found his face was hot...apparently robots can blush.

He turned away a little embarrassed but Bumblebee wouldn't let him. He took his face in his hand and made him look right into his blue optics.

'You are Beautiful Optimus Prime' he then learned forward and gentle kissed his battle mask but he also began to move his hands along his body.

Optimus loved his touch it was gentle and warm and it caused him to moan. He could hear Bumblebee giggle when he did it.

Optimus thought that it was cute. As he slid his battle mask away and prepared to kiss his lover back, Bumblebee held up his hand stopping him.

'Wait...there is something I want to do first' the young bot then stood up and walked away from him.

Optimus got up as well 'Bumblebee what's wrong'

'Nothing is wrong everything is perfect and that's the way I wanted this to be' Bumblebee then turned to face him.

Optimus noticed that he was holding something in his hand.

'Prime I...'

'What is it?'

Bumblebee took a deep breath and then began to speak. 'Optimus...when I first met you I thought you were one hell of an Autobot you were brave, smart, you never gave up in a fight and you gave us hope when we had none. While I was under commanded I...fell in love with you, during our time together on Cybertron. I didn't even know if you felt anything towards me but something inside me told me that I shouldn't be afraid...that I should tell you how I feel' he took a step forward

'Then there was the night that you got the Matrix of leadership, you told me that the Matrix let you see what Cybertron used to look like, a golden and sliver city which shined like a jewel in the night...'

Optimus remembered it well but he also knew what Bumblebee was going to say next.

'You then started crying... because you said that you watched Cybertron being destroyed by the war. You watched as the gold and silver disappeared replaced by destroyed buildings and fire. The once bright blue sky over our city was now blocked out by smoke and ships and then you saw the planet surface below drowning in Autobot and Decepticon blood'

Optimus remembered. He had lost hope; he didn't know if fighting was worth it since he saw how they caused so much destruction to their home, he didn't know what to fight for anymore. But that was until Bumblebee

'I remember you... gave me something to fight for you...gave me love and hope'
  
The young bot approached him again 'I know and when we shared each other it was the happiest moment of my life, I never wanted us to be apart. I wanted to be by your side forever...' he took another step until he was right in front of Optimus

'...and then today when you were injured, dying I cried because I thought I would never get the chance to hold you, to taste your lips, to feel your body against mine and to feel your spark in me again but... I was also angry with myself'

'Angry why?' he asked.

I was angry because...I didn't do this sooner and it had to take this incident to make me do this' Bumblebee then knelt down before him and took his hand in his.

'I understand from humans that they do this when they are proposing I think it's very sweet'

But all Optimus heard was the word proposing. He was stunned to say the least but he couldn't help but watch as Bumblebee showed him a metal ring in his hand, it was painted yellow.

'I told Spike what I was going to do and he painted the ring for me it was a rush job but I hope you like it'

Optimus tried to say something but he couldn't and Bumblebee continued to speak.

'Optimus Prime my leader, my friend, my love will you...marry me'

All Optimus could do was look into the face of Bumblebee, he was in shock he didn't know what to say or do but he tried to speak anyway.

'I...' then he heard Bumblebee's speech fill his mind again. He thought that it was beautiful but he also knew that it was the truth. He never told him but he too had cried while he lay injured, he thought that he would not get the chance to be with him again, he felt scared and never alone in his life. He didn't want that feeling ever returning again. He knew his answer.

'Yes...Bumblebee my scout, my friend, my love...I will marry you'
  
Bumblebee smiled up at him and Optimus watched as the ring gentle slide on his finger. He never felt such joy before he couldn't help to begin to cry.

Bumblebee watched and then stood up; he wrapped his arms around him and he began to gentle kiss away his tears.

'My beautiful Optimus, you have made me the happiest bot in the world' and then he placed his lips on his and the two held each other. The world began vanishing around them there were lost to each other...

'YAHOO!' A voiced shouted.

Optimus and Bumblebee pulled away from each other in surprisement and looked at whoever shouted at them. When they did they saw to their amazement that all their Autobot friends stood before them along with Spike, Chip and Sparkplug.

Sunstreaker was the one who shouted at them, he said it once more before jumping up and down in excitement.

Everyone else then ran over to them and started congratulating both of them. Optimus heard a few of him say. 'It's about time you to decide to get married'.
'Now we have another reason to celebrate' Jazz said. Grapple and Host then appeared again with energon cubes.

Once everyone had one Ironhide spoke 'Optimus, Bumblebee...I'm not really good at making speeches but...I would just like to say that if anyone deserved happiness it's you two.'
Everybody cheered and then Ironhide continued to speak. 'On behalf of everyone here, I wish you two all the happiness in the universe...and may your sparks forever be as one. He raised the cube as did everyone else 'TO OPTIMUS AND BUMBLEBEE!' and then they all drank.

Bumblebee gave a little laugh 'Ironhide...I thought I would never hear you say something so sweet and romantic...'

The warrior just gave a chuckle 'Well I'm a bot with many talents'

'I can vouch for that' Bluestreak said and he winked at him. This caused Ironhide to blush; his face was turning redder than his metal plating. Everybody started laughing except for Ironhide who gave Bluestreak an angry look.

Bumblebee spoke again. 'As I was about to say... I would just like to thank all of you for this and again for nice speech. I would especially like to thank Trailbreaker, Bluestreak, Ironhide, Ratchet, Sparkplug, Chip and Wheeljack who helped save my husband to be...Optimus Prime, without you guys we would not be here right now in this wonderful moment'.

The 5 of them smiled towards him and raised their cubes at him. Sparkplug and Chip raised their glasses.

Optimus then stepped forward. 'I to would also like to thank the rest of you for risking your lives to protect mine; I am honoured to fight along aside you but...also that I can call more than soldiers I can call you friends...you are the best Autobots I have ever had the privilege of commanding...I salute you'. Optimus then bowed before them to everyone's surprisement.

As Spike was watching this he thought what Optimus and Bumblebee said was the nicest thing he ever heard. He was honoured to know them as well.
   
Everybody was silent for moment; they were taking in what Prime had said but just then Blaster jumped out to break up the silence and turned to his radio mode.

'Enough with the speeches and lets have some music' and he started playing some dance music. While some Autobots danced Optimus and Bumblebee both got pulled aside by 2 different groups.

The group that Optimus was with were asking who did the proposing, what he was feeling and what he said Bumblebee. He also got asked several times to show the ring and everyone who looked at it said it was beautiful.

As he was about to return to Bumblebee Sunstreaker and Sideswipe stood before him.
'Optimus we made a decision' Sunstreaker said

'Have you now?' He didn't know what they were up to but it couldn't be anything good.

'Yes we decided that...we're going to organise your wedding!' Sideswipe said

Optimus was surprised by this. 'You two...but what do you know about weddings'

'Well since our time on earth we have seen many weddings on TV and plus we can ask Sparkplug or advise since he was married after all it is going to be based on a human wedding ceremonial'

Optimus wasn't too sure about this he wanted to ask Bumblebee but the twins stood in front of him again just as he was going to see lover.

'PLEASE! Optimus let us organise it'. The 2 bots gave him big smiles and their eyes seemed to glow. He watched as they began to kneel before him, practically begging that he would let them do it.

Optimus might regret this but he agreed mainly because he knew the twins wouldn't leave him along until he did. 'Alright...you can do it'

The twins then jumped up in the air and started shouting in excitement. 'Yes! You won't regret this Optimus, we'll make both of you proud' Sideswipe said

'It's going to be great but I know which part I'm looking forward to organising' Sunstreaker said.

'Which part is that?' Optimus asked

'Why the Bachelor party of course'. The twins both laughed and then took off before he could even ask them what that was.  

'Why do I have the feeling I am going to regret letting them do this...'  He then returned to the others and more importantly Bumblebee.
He knew that he next few days were going to get pretty interesting.

THE END
