Spark (Bumblebee Love Story)

Chapter 43

Reaching the other side of the city, away from the imminent danger, Mikaela parks the truck in an empty alleyway, making Danielle stop in her tracks. Glancing down at Bumblebee, Danielle's stoic face softens. She continues to hold his hand, feeling her hand weaken in his hold, her limbs tired. Explosions are heard in the distance, making all 3 grimace in anger. Despite her being in a Cybertronian form, Danielle desperately wants to fight- she can no longer stand the idea of people dying when there's the possibility of Danielle being able to protect them in this new body of hers. She glances up at Bumblebee, seeing his expression the same as hers, himself visibly growing upset by the second.

"Dammit" Danielle mumbles to herself, before leaning over to the roof of the truck, lightly tapping the roof. Even with her light tapping, the truck shakes underneath, Danielle hearing Mikaela giving a gasp.

"Mikaela, I need you to turn this truck around" Danielle gives an order.

Mikaela pokes her head out the driver's side window, looking over at Danielle's Cybertronian form, "But Captain Lennox-"

"Mikaela!" Danielle interrupts the dark brunette, "I can't stand the thought of people dying when Bee and I can help. And the only way Bumblebee can help is with you, Mikaela. I need your help in this....please."

There was a pregnant pause, as Mikaela looks over at Danielle's upset face. She gives a groan, before shifting the truck in drive, turning the tow truck around, taking Bumblebee's tied up body on the main streets, Danielle following closely behind. Danielle follows Mikaela to the main street where the fights are taking place, and she turns her head around to look over her shoulder.

"I'll drive, you two shoot!" Mikaela yells out.

"But I don't have guns!" Danielle stumbles with her words, noticing without beat her blades poking out of her leg slits.

Growing tense at the blades, Danielle remembers the last time she used them, killing the Decepticon with one stab. Watching Danielle, Bumblebee gives a soft whir to her, gaining her attention. Danielle looks up from her legs, seeing Bumblebee's knowing look. He raises his hand, brushing Danielle's waist, finding it the closest body part he can reach with Danielle's standing form over his sitting. Calming down, Danielle reaches down to her right blade, watching the transformation of her hand connecting to the blade, turning her hand into the said blade.

"I guess I can use this instead" Danielle murmurs, starting to gain confidence.

Being over 100 feet away from the fighting scene, Danielle grows excited, finding a sense of adrenaline rush. She doesn't help but give a small smile, tilting her head over to stare at Bumblebee.

"Don't wait up" Danielle jokes to the yellow and black Autobot.

Before Bumblebee can react to grab Danielle, she pulls away from the Scout Autobot, breaking into a run. Despite not feeling the air flow through her once human hair, Danielle can feel all the fibers in her robotic body react to the brisk cool air. Describing the feeling, Danielle can only make the correlation that she is sticking her head out of a car window going over 100 miles per hour, her whole body feeling the rush. That is what she can feel as well as see, seeing all the military personnel pass by her in the blink of an eye. Danielle sets her sights on the tank Decepticon, seeing the brute reloading his tank barrel with another explosive cannon. Looking closer, Danielle notices the tank Decepticon's exoskeleton looking rocklike- with many layers of armoring protecting the Decepticon. The military's bullets won't be able to damage the Decepticon enough.

"Maybe underneath the armor is softer metal," Danielle thinks to herself, "Maybe I can try to make the tank fall, the armor looks really heavy."

Scanning the Decepticon, Danielle sets her sights on its ankles, where she sees no armor plating, showing a weak spot.

"That's it!" Danielle thinks to herself, "The Achilles heel!"

Catching the Decepticon off guard, Danielle sprints down to the tank, ignoring the battle scene in front of her. She, by reflexes, dodges the tank's rapid swings of arms, going down to her knees, sliding across the Deception on the left side. Before the tank can stop Danielle, she gives a loud grunt, swinging her hand to the robot's ankle, slicing the ankle in half. With its uneven footing, the Decepticon falls on his knees, pieces of armor starting to grow weak, falling off. Seeing the damage Danielle caused, she crawls over to stay cars, screaming on the top of her lungs to fire.

By clockwork, she sees many different types of firepower, from military rockets and gun bullets, to even seeing Bumblebee's cannons fire at the tank, the majority of the firepower hitting the tank Decepticon. Danielle peeks over the destroyed cars, watching the scene in front of her, the Decepticon only being 25 feet away from her, giving her an all-time show. The monster robot gives a loud snarl of anguish, before experiencing a power blast to his chest, provided by Bumblebee's cannons. With a loud clunk, the tank plummets to the ground, non-moving.

Danielle gives a sigh, seeing the Decepticon's death. She rises up from her spot, shyly stepping out of hiding. She sees the military personnel walk over to the dead robot, guns are drawn in case the Deception was no longer dead.

"He's dead," Danielle thinks to herself, "I can feel it."

She notices Mikaela's truck backing up towards her, carrying an angry Bumblebee. Danielle walks over to the two calmly, not understanding Bumblebee's ranting.

"That was so- stupid what- you did back there! You- could have- died from what you did- that was too- clumsy!" Bumblebee's radio speaks out, frantically changing channels to convey Bumblebee's feelings.

Danielle doesn't help but give a small laugh, kneeling down to the scout. She swiftly takes his hands, and brings them to both sides of her face, letting him cup her cheeks.

"I'm okay, Bee" Danielle assures, "I feel actually great. I'm not hurt at all, okay?"

"Don't scare- me like that- beautiful" Bumblebee tells her.

Danielle turns her head to the right, giving a small kiss to the palm of his hand, feeling his hands warm right after her intimate action. She gives a smile, before rising from the ground, taking his hand in hers, "Cmon. We have to scope out the place."
