If Only

Chapter 22

Two days went on like this. Everyone was still grieving just as worse as the first day. Sam has stayed here as well, barely leaving Bee's side even when Lennox begged him to eat. Nothing was done to Bee's body yet, but they haven't said anything anyway. It's different when it comes for robots I guess. It doesn't work the same seeing as they're metal and not flesh like human. We decompose in the matter of day while as metal, not so much.

It worries me to think the Decepticons might know of our low position. The Autobots, including the Military, are so down about the loss we could not fight them off anytime soon. If they knew of this they would no doubt try and plan a battle for us to fight. Nothing has been heard of them for awhile, that in it of itself is scary. Why haven't they done anything?  But, I need to try and calm down to keep strong for my friends and teammates.

I can understand it, they need their time. If needed, I'll go out and fight all alone. Bringing all of my weapons along with me, I still won't have a chance but it will grow them off for while. My explosives sure are helpful, but, they do not work well with human skin. If I were to set off to many at one time, it might kill me. Two deaths in one week would be too much to handle, I couldn't risk it.

C.A.G.E could be planning something as well, they knew of our dark point. Why not? They took over Bumblebee and made him kill himself, now what? What did they want with him, though. There had to be something. They sounded like the people who would do anything to get what they wanted, but what was it they wanted?

Putting on my military jacket, slipping on my jacket and wiping away the lone tears that strayed from my eyes, I trudged out my door to see everyone else.

Once meeting Sam, I could tell that was the boy I had seen on the day of the battle, 3 years ago. The one with the cube, who almost fell off the roof only to be caught by someone. That person being Optimus. From what was explained to me, he has also fought in the battles, saving Optimus' life at one point.

As I was exciting the hall, I caught a glimpse of a group of others, all wearing black and sticking close to the wall. Quickly hiding behind the wall beside me, I pull out my hand gun and peek my head out to see they are coming my way. Keeping myself hidden, they walk right past my position.

Their identity was unknown to me, but C.A.G.E was who I was guessing they were. They had made some kind of plan, I knew it. I never would have guessed they would have cams here though, the question still stands, what do they want from N.E.S.T now?

Knowing I couldn't get anyone's help, I slipped away without anything else. Everyone is still lost, at their down point, I need to do this alone. The again, there was one person who could help me. That is, if he wasn't an idiot, and I didn't hate him. This was Steve, he didn't know the Autobots, barely even spoke to them. He would be able to help, I guess this is my only choice.

Rushing towards the dorm hallways, I search for the annoying military guy, and find him in the coding room. He looked to be sending an email and when I reached him, he jumped and speedily closed the webpage he was on.

"I need your help, no one else is able. You up for the challenge?"

"For?"

"C.A.G.E is here, and I need your help to eliminate them."

His eyes widening, he glances back at the screen before nodding and standing up. "Alright, C'mon." Both agreeing, we walk out the door and into the dark hallways where no one was at. Lennox and the others were in the hanger with the Autobots, giving their respects. I could not bother them at this time.

"Do you know what's going on, Phoneix?" Steve asks. His hands shaking.

"Calm down. Gah, quit being an idiot."
