Operation Bumblebee Part 2

Karina's POV

So the cons got the artifact whatever it was and Bee got hurt. Needless to say Ratchet was not happy. "Of all the scrap-brained ideas taking Bumblebee into a potential chase scenario when he no longer has the ability to access his wheels?!" he demands.

"He improvised" Bulkhead states.

"Hey, Bee's waking up" Raf and I tell them. As Bee stirred and sat up buzzing. Rubbing his helm.

"You've already lost your voice box and your T-cog. Were you really trying to add your Spark to the list?" Ratchet asks him.

'Maybe, I am useless' Bee buzzes.

"Don't say that, Bumblebee. You're not useless" Raf tells him.

"He's right" I agree.

"Look, I hate to break up the pity party, but the 'Cons just added unknown Iacon payday number two to their armory" Arcee reminds us.

"Neither blame nor praise will modify past events, but we cannot afford to take further unnecessary risks" Optimus states. "Bumblebee, you are not to leave our base not until we can retrieve your missing biomechanism" he tells Bee. He left to talk to Ratchet. While the rest of us comfort Bee.

(Time skip)

It was decided we'd give Bee a transplant. Giving him Ratchet's T-cog. "Obviously, since I am the other patient involved, I will be unable to perform the surgery. Therefore, one of you must serve as my proxy" he states looking at the other three autobots. He looks at Bulkhead and shakes his head. "Better at breaking things" he states.

Bulkhead sighs in relief. "Arcee" Ratchet states.

"Optimus has steadier hands" she tells him.

"Steady and much too large to be rooting around beneath my hood" Ratchet tells her.

"Or Bee's" I add.

"Arcee, you can do this. You're as steely as they come" Jack tells her.

"On a battlefield, not in an operating theater" she tells him.

"Same thing, as long as you're behind the knife, not under it" he tells her.

"Does this mean Bumblebee's gonna transform into an ambulance from now on or be all cranky?" Miko asks. "Cause that would be weird" she states. I nod my head in agreement. Bee and Ratchet are prepared for the transplant. Ratchet is put under first.

"Okay, Bumblebee. Your turn" Arcee states. As she goes to induce his stasis an alarm sounds.

"What's happening?!" Raf shouts.

"Ratchet's flat lining?!" Miko exclaims.

"Ratchet's vitals are fine" I assure them.

"It's an Iacon homing beacon" Optimus states as a location appears on screen.

"If we're picking up the signal, it means the 'Cons just unearthed another relic" Bulkhead states.

"Autobots, prepare to roll out" Optimus instructs.

"Yes" Arcee says.

"Except for our patients" Optimus adds. "It would be best to interrupt stasis" he tells Arcee. Who does so. She then left with Optimus and Bulkhead.

"Prime! Breaking news" Fowler states as he appears on screen. Bee beeps at him. "Huh? Where's Prime? Look, let him know I just received access to satellite imagery which I believe pinpoints the center of operations of MECH" he tells Bee. Who buzzes at him. "Oh, for the love of get me someone who speaks something other than bleep" he begs.
