It was a calm day at the scrapyard, the sun was shinning, blue-birds are singing and the Autobots are doing what they regularly do. Strongarm was studying her protocols, Sideswipe was waxing, Drift was training with his students, Grimlock was smashing boulders (claiming he was sculpting) and Fixit was, as usual, in the Alchemor. Bumblebee was...Primus knows where, but at least he was in the scrapyard. Later, Bumblebee showed himself at the Alchemor. Fixit told him that he had received a call from Autobots on an island called Griffin Rock. It was Blurr who was calling them.

"Hey, Bee." He said when Fixit brought up the call. "Yes, Blurr. What is it?" Bee asked. "We need backup, stat! The volcano is erupting and we need more servos!" Blurr replies with sudden exclaim and Bumblebee's eyes widened. "Okay, we are on our way." Bee replied and Blurr ended the call with a "hurry up" Look. "Autobots, report to the ground bridge immediately. And grab as many heat proof items as possible." Bumblebee sent out a message and all 4 Autobots and 2 minicons came to the ground bridge. "Autobots, we have an island to save. And I want everyone to work together as a team. Let's rev up and roll out!" Bee explained and they all transformed and drive through the ground bridge.

On the other side, was Griffin Rock. "Are we sure that this is Griffin Rock?" Sideswipe asked when they all transformed. "It is, now that the volcano is erupting, that's why we were called here." Bee explained and they saw a familiar sky blue bot running towards them. "Blurr!" Sideswipe exclaimed and ran up to the bot. "I'm okay, Sides. Thanks for coming, Bee." Blurr thanked Bumblebee and he nodded. "We need to evacuate the island, Blurr! Stop messing around!" Heatwave called out to Blurr who called back. "Okay! Just let me get Bee and his team some info!"

"Okay. So, evacuating the WHOLE island." Sideswipe reviewed and Blurr nodded. "Okay Autobots, let's rev up and roll out!" Bumblebee ordered and the team split up to search for any humans in need.

Strongarm grabbed a few that were avoiding the lava droplets, while Sideswipe quickly transformed and slipped Frankie into the driver seat. "Thanks! By the way...who are you?" She asked. "Sideswipe, and I'm NOT a Rescue Bot." Sideswipe replied and took her to the docks.

"Guys! Hurry up!" Bee commanded as his team ran as fast as they can to the docks. "No use! Fixit! Power up a ground bridge!! The forest, west of Crown City!" Bee called Fixit and a groundbridge fired up. "Let's go, lets go!" He yelled and the citizens of Griffin Rock ran through the bridge, followed by the Autobots. Bumblebee looked back, and saw no one else left behind, but didn't see the lava droplets falling towards him. He saw them at the last minute and was able to move his body out of the way, but not his eyes.

Bumblebee howled with pain and agony, but ran through the ground bridge and landed into the forest. "Lieutenant?" Strongarm asked, but Bumblebee can only hear her. He was not sure whether if his eyes were even open and was looking at his cadet. "I'm okay, Strongarm. See you back at the scrapyard, team." Bee replied and got up and found his way around the forest and back to the scrapyard.

Am I blind? No! No I can't be! But...if I really am... Bumblebee thought and felt a blindfold on one of the shelves and he tied it around his eyes. I'm not worthy...to be a leader, anymore...
