Life of an Agent (Transformers Prime Seasons 1 & 2) Chapter 23
Madalyn climbed down the cliff and ran to Bumblebee's aid. "Bumblebee? Bumblebee are you alright?" asked Madalyn while tugged on his shoulder "Scrap, he's out cold." Madalyn picked up his arm and put it over her shoulders and lifted up Bumblebee to carry him. "Whoa! What happened?!?" said a voice from above. Madalyn heard the voice and looked up back at the top of the cliff to see Bulkhead. He slid down the cliff and ran towards Madalyn. "Bumblebee hit solid ground. Hard." answered Madalyn as she looked towards the destroyed tow truck. "Ratchet, send a bridge. Bumblebee is in serious trouble." said Bulkhead. "Copy that Bulkhead." replyed Ratchet through the com-link. A ground bridge opened up infront of Madalyn, Bulkhead and Bumblebee. Bulkhead assisted Madalyn, helping her get Bumblebee through the bridge and back to base.
Once they arrived back at the base, Madalyn turned back into her human form. "Of all the scrap being ideas, taking Bumblebee into a potencial chase cenareo when he no longer can acess his wheels?!?" said Ratchet as he lecutred Bulkhead. "He improvised." answered Bulkhead. "Improvised? Dude, that truck he used was as old as dinosaurs practically! It could have fallen apart!" added Madalyn. "Hey! Bee's waking up!" yelled Raf. They watched as Bumblebee sat up while rubbing his head and made a few beeping noises. "You lost your voice box and your T-Cog, were you trying to add your spark to the list?!?" said Ratchet. "Beep bop bop beep bop 'I could have nailed him! I feel useless without my wheels!" said Bumblebee. "Don't say that Bee!" replyed Raf. "Your not useless." added Madalyn. "Look, I hate to break up the pitty party, but the 'Cons just got their hands on Iacon Pay Day number two to their armoury!" said Arcee. Then everyone heard footsteps from behind them, and saw Optimus come there way. Bulkhead and Arcee stepd back to let him in. "Neither blame nor praise will modify past events. But we cannot afford to take any further unnessacary risks. Understood?" said Optimus. "Yes." said everyone but Madalyn. "Understood." said Madalyn. "Bumblebee, you are not to leave our base. Not untill we find and retrieve your missing biomechanisum." ordered Optimus, then he walked away. "Madalyn." whispered Ratchet. Madalyn heard him and looked up at the medic. "I may know a way to make Bumblebee whole again. But I'll need your help to convince Optimus." whispered Ratchet. "You got it Doc." replyed Madalyn. Ratchet lowered his hand, picked up Madalyn and sat her on his shoulder as he walked towards Optimus. "Optimus, Bumblebee is right to be less then hopeful." said Madalyn. "But you and I both know another way to make Bumblebee whole." said Ratchet. "A transplant." answered Optimus "But that will require a donner." "You no need look then the Autobot standing before you." replyed Ratchet. Optimus stoped in his tracks and turned to face Ratchet with a shoocked and surprised look on his face. Madalyn did the same. "Wait what?!?" asked Madalyn.
"Whoa, Ratchet, are you serious?" asked Madalyn. "A generous offer old friend. But your solution would trade one Autobot's handicap for anothers." replyed Optimus. "I don't replie on my T-Cog. Not like Bumblebee does. The ability to transform is vertuliy wasted on me. This is where I spend my days. Where my thoughts and hands are of value. Not my weapons or wheels." explained Ratchet "Our team, can't afford to be shy even one warrior in the field." "Long story short, Optimus, he wants to give Bumblebee his T-Cog." said Madalyn. "You make a compelling case. But know, we will find Bumblebee's T-Cog." replyed Optimus. "But Optimus, you haven't seen M.E.C.H. like I have." said Madalyn. "They're savages! Who knows what damage they may have already have inflected on it!" added Ratchet "Or, if I'll ever be able to repair it." Madalyn had a sad expression on her face and placed her hand on his shoulder."It's ok Ratchet." said Madalyn. "Ratchet, you did everything in your power." said Optimus. Ratchet had a surprised look on his face then hesitated. "Agh! Please, do you think this is about my inability to restore Bumblebee's voice box?!?" asked Ratchet. Optimus looked at him with a serious blank expression. "Ratchet, you alright?" asked Madalyn. "I'm fine. I just want to do whats right. For our scout. For the team." finnished Ratchet. "What do you think big guy?" asked Madalyn. There was a moment of silence then Optimus answered. "Very well. I will allow the transplant to take place." answered Optimus.
"Transplant is almost ready." said Ratchet as he set some adustments on the computer "Madalyn, I'll need some assistance." "Sure thing Ratchet!" replyed Madalyn. Madalyn ran down the stairs from the TV area and ran towards Ratchet. "What'cha want you me to do Doc?" asked Madalyn. "First off, I'll need you to transform into your Autobot form." said Ratchet. "Alright." replyed Madalyn. Madalyn activated her communicator and transformed into her autobot form. "Then?" asked Madalyn. "Stand next to Arcee and Bulkhead and wait there, for now." replyed Ratchet. "No prob." answered Madalyn. Madalyn walked and stood next to Arcee. Bumblebee was sitting on the medic bed, ready for the surgery. "Obviously since, I am the other patient involved, I will be unable to perform the surgery. Therefore, one of you three will serve as my proxy." explained Ratchet. "Uh oh." thought Madalyn. Ratchet walked infront of them with his arms crossed behind his back, and Madalyn, Arcee, and Bulkhead stood straight like in line for the miliatry. First Ratchet stoped at Bulkhead. "Hmm, better at breaking things." said Ratchet as he walked away from Bulkhead. "Phew." sighed Bulkhead in relief. Ratchet stopped infront of Arcee. "Better in combat." said Ratchet as he walked away and stopped infront of Madalyn. "Oh no!" thought Madalyn. "Madalyn." answered Ratchet as he walked to his computer. "Optimus has steadier hands!" suggested Madalyn nervously and fast. "Steady, and much too large to be rooting around beneath my hood." replyed Ratchet. Madalyn signed in dissapointment and walked away from the computer slightly. "It's ok Madalyn, you can do this." said Jack. "You got this sis!" added Cole "Your as steady as they come." "Yeah, on a battlefield! Not in an operating field! I've never had to help in medical operations, yet alone even a Cybertronian operation!" replyed Madalyn. "Same thing. As long as your behind the knife. Not under it." said Jack. "Ok." replyed Madalyn nervously. "Does this mean, Bumblebee will transform into an ambulance from now on? And be all cranky?" asked Miko. "I don't think it works like that Miko." said Cole. "Cause that would be wierd." added Miko.
Ratchet layed down on the other medic bed and Madalyn walked over to the computer. "Showtime boys. Inducing Stasis." said Madalyn as she pressed a button on the computer. A medical dose movd through a tube and entered into Ratchet's chest making him act all wozzy and sleepy. "Beep beep bop bop bop beep beep? 'Ratchet, are you sure you wanna do this?'" asked Bumblebee. "Ah, ah, You can.. Thank me when... this is ove." said Ratchet as he fell asleep. "Ok Bumblebee, your turn." said Madalyn. As she was about to press the button on the computer, a beeping noise went off, and the kids were freaking out. "What's happening?!?" asked Raf. "Ratchet's falt lining!" yelled Miko while placing her hands on her head. "He's doomed!" yelled Cole as he paiced. "No he isn't!" said Arcee. "It's coming from the main computer." said Madalyn as she pointed to it. On the screen it showed the coordinates of a newly discovered Iacon Relic. "It seems it's an Iacon homing becon." said Optimus. "If were picking up the signal, than that means the 'Cons just unearthed another relic!" said Bulkhead. "Autobots! Prepare to roll out!" commanded Optimus. "Yes!" cheered Madalyn. "Beep bop bop beep bop beep! 'Alright! It's showtime!'" said Bumblebee excitedly as he jumped off the medic bed. "expect for our paicents." added Optimus. "Boooooooop 'Awwww'" said Bumblebee as he sat back down. "It is best to interupt stasis." said Optimus as he turned to Madalyn. Madalyn nodded and presed a button on the medic computer to stop Ratchet's stasis.
Madalyn (In her Autobot form), Optimus, Arcee, and Bulkhead arrived at the otherside of the ground bridge to find themselves in the rocky moutains. Optimus took out a scanner and brought it up ona moutain not too far from their current location. "Readings off the scale." said Madalyn. "Autobots, recon." ordered Optimus as he and the others ran to the mountain and started climbing it.
"It's a long way up." said Bulkhead. Madalyn was just under Optimus and right infront of Bulkhead. She stoped climbing for a moment to catch her breath then turned and looked own and gulped. "Yeah, and it's a long way down." added Madalyn nervously as she then continued climbing. Once they reached the top, they stoped at the edge and poked their heads out, to see what was happening at the top. They saw Knockout and Breakdown at the top. And Breakdown was using his hammer to knock rocks out of the way. "I Don't get it! All this chipping away with my hammer, just to bring Megatron another hammer?" asked Breakdown. "What is that hammer? quietly asked Madalyn so she wouldn't be heard from the 'Cons. "That hammer is a sacred relic of the 13 original primes." answered Optimus. "Really?" asked Bulkhead. "Seriously?" asked Madalyn. "But, isn't that the opposite of Decepticon doomsday device?" asked Arcee. "It would stand to reason, that in addition to confiscated Decepticon artilary, any artifacts of great value were also stored in the vaults of Iacon. And shiped off world." explained Optimus "And none would be greater than this. The Forge of Solus Prime." "Solus Prime? Wasn't see the very first female Prime?" asked Madalyn. "Indeed. The Forge posessess the power mythicaly enfuse raw material into working medhanisems." continue Optimus. "As in, if we had it, we can pound any weapon we can think of into existance?" asked Bulkhead. "Or, possible construct a new T-Cog for Bumblebee." replyed Optimus. "Perfect! Now that we know what to do with it, let's go get that forge!" said Madalyn.
Madalyn and the Autobots watched as Breakdown pounded the last of the rocks covering the forge. "Time to get a grip." said Knockout. Breakdown grabbed the hammer with his hands and tried pulling it out. "That's our cue guys." whispered Madalyn. They jumped upto the top of the mountain, transformed into vehicle mode and drove towards the Decepticons. The Decpeticons spotted them so Optimus, Arcee, and Madalyn transformed into robot mode again, and began blasting at them. While Bulkhead stayed in vehicle mode and charged at Breakdown. Knockout brought out a shield and used it t to protech himself from the blasts. When Optimus, Arcee, and Madalyn were close enough, Knockout's shield formed a giant rectangle and pushed them away from Knockout. The force was strong enough for Madalyn to fall backwatds to the ground. "What the?" said Madalyn in confusion. "Hey Autobots, check out my new finnish protector!" taunted Knockout. "That must be the relic they found earlier." thought Madalyn.
Then Knockout started walking towards them with his sheld. As Madalyn got up, she and the bots got hit by the shield again. "Not again!" said Madalyn. "For the most creative use of a shield generator in a supporting role, the winner is, Knockout!" said Knockout as he walked closer and closer to them, pushing the Autobots back. As Madalyn, Optimus, and Arcee were walking backwards from the shield, Madalyn lost her balance slightly after taking one step back. She looked behind her to see that they arrived at the edge of the mountain, and the shield was getting closer and closer. "ugh, guys?" asked Madalyn nervously. Optimus looked behind him, and he too looked down the cliff. He took Madalyn's hand, letting her know to stay calm and not to worry. Madalyn nodded and turned back to face Knockout when she saw, in the background, Bulkhead wacking Breakdown with the forge and sending Breakdown flying into the air, crashing into Knockout, causing him to drop his shield. Once Breakdown crashed, the shield dissipeared. Knockout hesitatedly ran to retrive the shield but before he could grab it, Bulkhead smashed i with the forge. "Alright Bulk'!" cheered Madalyn. Just then a ground bridge appeared behind Bulkhead and a purple energon blast came out and shot Bulkhead in the back. Forcing him to let go of the forge and fall to the ground. After Bulkhead took the hit, Megatron walked out of the portal. "Bulkhead!" yelled Arcee. As Arcee, Optimus and Madalyn ran to aid Bulkhead, Megatron picked up the forge and aimed his Ion Cannon at Bulkhead. "Nah, ah, ah." said Megatron. The Autobots stoped, so Megatron wouldn't harm Bulkhead, while Knockout and Breakdown regrouped with Megatron. "A relic of Prime's here on Earth? The Decepticon cause, is once again, endeaded to the contributions, of Orion Pax." said Megatron as he, Knockout, and Breakdown ran back into the portal as it closed. Madalyn and Arcee ran and knelt beside Bulkhead to see if he was alright. "Bulk' you ok?' asked Madalyn. "Ugh, I'm fine." replyed Bulkead. Madalyn sighed in relief. "Optimus!" contacted Ratchet through the com-link "We have reason to believe that we have located M.E.C.H.'s base of operations." "M.E.C.H.!?!" said Madalyn. "Bublebee is already there." finnished Ratchet. "Oh no..." thought Madalyn. "Bridge us there imediatly!" ordered Optimus. As the Autobot ground bridge opened up behind them, Madalyn's Autobot insignia started blinking, and she turned back into her human form. "Guess I'm doing this non-bot style." said Madalyn as she and the Autobots ran through the ground bridge.
Madalyn and the Autobots arrived at the other side of the ground bridge to find themselves at an abandon factory in the woods. "Strange. Where's M.E.C.H.?" asked Arcee. "Yeah, but more inportantly where's Bumblebee?' added Bulkhead. "Ugh guys.." said Madalyn. She and the others watched Bumblebee walk out of the factory slowly with a fried T-Cog and a sad expression on his face. "No.." whispered Madalyn as she saw the T-Cog. "Ratchet!" called Optimus through the com-link "Reactivate the ground bridge, and prepare for surgery." "Thanks to me, Megatron has the forge!" complained Bulkhead. "While we would have put the forge of Solus Prime to valuable use, I do not believe, we have to fear Megatron's use of it." expplained Optimus. "Why?" asked Arcee. "Wait, I know this! It's because only a Prime can use it!" answered Madalyn. "How did you know that?' asked Bulkhead. "I did some research on the relics, and beofre you ask, YES I can read Cybertronian now! Anyways, I did some resaerch, and if I'm correct, for some relics, only the power of a Prime can activate it. For example, Optimus Prime. So long story short, as long as the forge is in the Decepticon's posession, it's completely useless. Ain't that right Prime?" explained Madalyn. "That's right, Madalyn. You've learned well." said Optimus with a smile. "You keep this up kid, and we might even consider you a Cybertronian." joked Bulkhead.
Madalyn, and the Autobots arrived back at base. After afew hours, Ratchet was finnished with the surgery. Once he was done scanning Bumblebee he walked towards the others. "I... did what I could." said Ratchet. "Our scout could not have been in better hands old friend." said Optimus as he walked towards Ratchet and placed his hand on his shoulder. "And we didn't go with plan A with Ratchet giving Bee his T-Cog why?" asked Miko. "Bumblebee wouldn't accept it." answered Jack. "He didn't want Ratchet to feel left out." said Madalyn. "Beeep bop 'Alright, that wasn't so bad." said Bumblebee while getting up from the medic bed. "Bumblebee, easy!" said Ratchet. Bumblebee streght out his arms and pounded his fist together "Beep beep bop beep 'I feel great! Let me try transforming!'" said Bumblebee. "Please, recovery takes time." explained Ratchet. Bumblebee streght his arms forward and tried transforming. His chest plate moved back and some metal plates from his arm moved, but they moved back to their original place. "Beep? 'Huh?'" said Bumblebee. "Oh no.." thought Madalyn. "The damamge was sever." said Ratchet as he closed his optics and moved his head down. Madalyn, Cole, and the rest of the kids walked forward abit, watching Bumblebee trying to transform. Then after afew times of trying, the merical happened. Bumblebee at last transformed into his vehicle mode. Everyone had shocked looks on their faces and the kids cheered. Bumblebee honked his horn then opened up his car doors. "Beep beep bop 'Where ya wanna go?'" asked Bumblebee. "Anywhere!" answered Raf as he and Cole ran to Bumblebee and hooped inside. "Just drive!" said Cole. Once they were in, Bumblebee closed the doors and drove off through the exit. "Ha, ha, now that's the Bumblebee we all know and love." said Madalyn.
