Chapter 14 of A Contract I Regret Signing

Written by SpencerTheDeerHumanHybrid

The Trial

Bumblebee felt like it was right to say that being on a ship with Sentinel Prime and a bunch of runaway Decepticons was the worst. Despite the whole fighting thing that went on Earth, most of the Decepticons surrendered and agreed to a peace treaty when Megatron realized he was getting his aft kicked by a space bridge repair team so the trial could be easygoing but Bumblebee wasn’t sure that anyone wanted to hear about what happened, especially the High Council.

Bumblebee came out of these thoughts when Blurr got closer to him and gingerly put their arm around him.

”It’s-gonna-to-okay-Honeybee-I-promise,” He said. Bumblebee smiled up and Blurr and gave a small peck to his cheek which caused them to blushed slightly.

”Alright, we are at the pede of Cybertron!” Sentinel yelled. Everyone stopped what they were doing and got the rouge Decepticons from the cells. Optimus motioned for Bumblebee to get closer to him and when he did, he leaned down and said,

”Don’t worry Bee, you will get justice.” Bumblebee smiled at the Prime (who felt more like his dad than his own father in his opinion) and replied,

”Thanks bossbot.”

They had arrived at Cybertron..

Beachcomber laid on the couch of his courtmate when he saw that a ship had just recently arrived at Cybertron and he saw someone familiar from all the bots there.

”Yo, Tracks! Look at this!” He yelled. Tracks came over to his courtmate and looked at the TV. He was confused before he saw the familiar shade of yellow he had seen all those vorns ago.

”Is…Is that Bee?!” Tracks yelled.

”Yeah! Wanna go over there?” Beachcomber asked.

“Duh!!” Tracks said in response. They hurried over to where the crew and Bumblebee had landed, happy to see that their friend was still alive after all this time!

”Wait!” Beachcomber yelled. ”We should tell Hot Rod!” He added. Tracks nodded and they went over to where Hot Rod was training.

Hot Rod was practicing his arrow shooting when Beachcomber and Tracks bursted in.

”Beach! Tracks! What happened- Bee’s here!!” Hot Rod looked at Beachcomber with surprise and happiness when he realized his brother was still online.

”We gotta go!” Hot Rod yelled. Him, Tracks, and Beachcomber transformed into their alt-modes and went towards where Bumblebee and the others were going.

If someone would’ve told Bumblebee that in the future he would have been seen by the High Council, he would’ve laughed in their face-plates, now however? He didn’t know how to react if he was being honest. Everyone present there (even the normal citizens) stood or sat there in awkward silence for a few cycles before Alpha Trion spoke up.

”What have you come here for?” He asked. Optimus could see that Bumblebee was nervous so he spoke up,

”We have come here because something bad has happened to my scout and we have found some rogue Decepticons on the planet we were on.” He gestured towards Bumblebee and the Decepticons they found, most of the attention was on Shockwave however since it prompted Ultra Magnus to call Megatron and the others.

Megatron, Starscream, Blackarachnia, Blitzwing, and Lugnut all came from a separate room and stared down at the opposing bots with Megatron giving a small wave to Optimus. Megatron stared at Shockwave for a breem before exclaiming,

”What did you do?” Shockwave only looked down at the floor below him.

“Please, step up Bumblebee and tell your case,” Ultra Magnus said. Bumblebee nervously stepped up to the podium and looked at the crowd below.

’Why? Why? Why? Why did they have to make this into such a big deal?!’ The voice in his processor yelled. He noticed that his team, Nova, brothers, and Blurr were trying to encourage him into telling the others about what happened. So with a deep breath, he began to tell them all about what happened to him and what Shockwave made him do. Everyone who didn’t already know what happened and even the former Decepticons gasped with shock at the story he told but everyone (except Nova who looked down with shame) stared at him with silence as he told them what happened to him on that one Solar cycle…

Bumblebee groaned as he sat up in his berth. He felt a lot more sick than he did yesterday for some reason. Brushing it off, he leapt out of the berth and walked to the kitchen to make his morning oil. He felt much more slower than he usually did and he felt more sick, while he did get sick every once in a while this felt… different.

‘Eh, probably just my processor playing tricks on me again,’ He thought as he went about his day like usual. It wasn’t until he went to do this job late at night when he felt really off, sure his usual dancing was a little bit more slower but it was still elegant as always but his tanks were hurting for whatever reason.

He got onto the berth of Shockwave and it went as it usually did but it still hurt like the Pitts! Shockwave stopped his movements, pulled out of him, retracted his plating and asked,

’What happened?’ Although this was said without a hint of concern, only annoyance.

’I…I don’t know. I just feel weird in my tanks,’ Bumblebee said. Shockwave let go of Bumblebee and stood up next to the berth. After a few kilks of Shockwave thinking he said,

’Go check what's happening to you in your dressing room.” Bumblebee nodded and got out of the office to go to his dressing room a few feet away.

He looked in the mirror as he entered the room and stood in front of it. He could see that he seemed to put on just a tiny bit of weight and his chest seemed to pop out by a bit. He suddenly felt a large deal of pain shot across his spark and he looked at it confused.

He opened his spark chamber and gasped at what he saw. In the mirror he saw his spark where it should and saw a tiny little spark next to it.

’This can’t be happening, this can’t be happening, this can’t be happening, THIS CAN’T BE HAPPENING!’ He yelled. Bumblebee was panicking a lot, he couldn’t let his team find out that he got sparked by a Decepticon especially Ratchet since he would be livid. After a lot of thought, Bumblebee hesitantly closed his spark chamber and went back to Shockwave’s office.

‘Shockwave?’ Bumblebee asked when he entered Shockwave’s office. Shockwave looked at him acceptly, waiting for him to show him what was wrong. With an ex-vent, Bumblebee stood up straight and opened his spark chamber.

Shockwave froze at what he was looking at. Bumblebee onlined his optics (he didn’t even know that he offlined them) and looked up at Shockwave.

’Shockwave?- Get rid of it.’ Bumblebee gasped at what Shockwave said.

’I-I can’t get rid of the sparkling!’ Bumblebee yelled.

’I don’t care, you need to get rid of it. NOW!’ Shockwave shouted. Bumblebee glared at Shockwave, he could abuse and hurt him but he’ll never let him get rid of the sparkling that was growing inside of him.

’No. I don’t care what you think, I am not getting rid of MY child!’ Shockwave suddenly pinned Bumblebee on the wall and looked directly at him with rage in his single optic.

’I will hunt down your fucking family, team, and friends and tell them how much of a slut you are to accept a deal with a Decepticon and get sparked by them. Do you understand me?’ Shockwave threatened. Bumblebee looked at Shockwave with disbelief, he couldn’t let his family, his team, and his friends get hurt because of him! With obvious signs of hesitation, Bumblebee nodded and Shockwave let him go, dropping him onto the floor.

’Good. I don’t care how you do it, just get rid of it any way you can. And if you don't, well.’ Shockwave made a cutting motion with one of his servos across his neck. Bumblebee nodded once more before leaving the office and the building. He transformed into his alt-form (albeit very difficult) and drove towards the river. He stopped in front of the waters and transformed back into root-mode while holding a servo to his chassis. Hesitantly, he opened his spark chamber and hovered his servo over the tiny spark, he looked at it with pity.

’I’m so sorry,’ He said softly to the spark. He reached down to grab the spark firmly.. and pulled hard. Bumblebee shoved his knuckle into his mouth to prevent him from attracting attention as he pulled and pulled. Finally, the spark was completely ripped from his spark and he paused to look at the flickering spark.

’I-I’m s-so s-sorry.’ He offlined his optics and threw the spark into the river, it drifted away underneath the waves. Bumblebee fell on his knee joints and started to cry as he began to comprehend what he just did.

Nova gingerly walked to the river as she saw her Amica Endura crying.

’Bee, what's wrong?’ She asked. Bumblebee snapped his head towards her and tried to scramble away from her.

’No! Get away from me! I’m a monster!’ Bumblebee shouted at her. Nova held Bumblebee by his shoulders and angrily said,

’What did he do this time-‘ She stopped when she saw his spark chamber opened and the pink energon covering the ground underneath him.

’W…What did- He made me get rid of it.’ Bumblebee cut her off. Nova looked at him. She didn’t understand, what did Shockwave make him get rid of? Nova froze as she realized that the energon was coming from his spark chamber and that he said that he was feeling weird the Solar cycle before.

’Bee… Oh my Primus, I’m so sorry,’ Nova said while holding him close to her tanks. Bumblebee sobbed into her Midsection plating, wanting to forget about what happened. Nova was going to kill that son-of-a-glitch no matter what but she let Bumblebee cry and cry into her Midsection and that’s all she could do for now.

~…~

”And that’s it,” Bumblebee said, tears coming down his optics as he relived the memory. Everyone there stood in silence as the story was still processing in their processors (even the former Decepticons were shocked). Ultra Magnus suddenly cleared his throat and said,

”Shockwave for your crimes against this mech, you will be sentenced to a lifecycle in the Stockades.” Upon hearing about the Stockades, Bumblebee said,

”Wait! Is Wasp still in the stockades?”

“I do believe so, why?” Ultra Magnus asked.

“He wasn’t the real spy, so we need to get him out of there!” Bumblebee yelled. Ultra Magnus paused for a moment before saying,

”I will get him out of there with a fair trial this time.” Bumblebee gave a sigh of relief before remembering something else.

”What do we do about this?” Bumblebee asked, holding up the cracked data-pad in his servo. Ultra Magnus took the contract from Bumblebee.

”I will have someone look at it but until then you can be at peace, little one,” He said.

”Thank you, sir,” Bumblebee replied. When Ultra Magnus announced the trial to be over, the others (Except, Sentinel) quickly went over to Bumblebee. Bumblebee smiled as he could tell everyone wanted to make him feel better after relieving such a traumatic experience and they all walked out the door to the High Council when they were suddenly assaulted with a bunch of newsbots asking Bumblebee questions.

”Were you really a cam-bot?”

”Did you really fall in love with the former Decepticon spy, Shockwave?”

“Are you proud of being a stripper or not?”

These questions quickly sensed Bumblebee into a mental breakdown as he became overwhelmed. The others tried to get the newsbots to go away and leave them alone but to no avail as they still persisted. Bumblebee offlined his optics and he could still hear the loud noises, he wanted it to just stop already! The crowd suddenly went silent and Bumblebee onlined his optics again to see.. Hot Rod.

”Back the fuck way from my brother. Now,” Hot Rod was pointing his arrows at the crowd, who were silently backing away from them. After a while Hot Rod gave a sigh of relief, put his arrows back into his subspace, and turned around.

”Hey!” Hot Rod said with a large grin.

“Rodimus Prime?- HOT ROD!!” Optimus started before getting interrupted by Bumblebee running to the Prime.

“Bee!” Hot Rod yelled as he gave Bumblebee a tight hug.

”How’s my little brother been?” Hot Rod asked.

“I’ve been doing alright!” Bumblebee responded. The others (except Nova, Cliffjumper, Sunstreaker, and Sideswipe) had their jaws to the floor.

”YOUR BROTHER IS A PRIME?!” They yelled. Bumblebee, Hot Rod, Cliffjumper, Sunstreaker, and Sideswipe all looked at each other before laughing.

”Let’s just go home already,” Bumblebee said after he was put down back onto the ground. Blurr ran excitingly up to Bumblebee and picked him up; bridal style. Hot Rod gave a small “Aww” at this when he realized his brother was dating someone! All of them went back into the Steelhaven and set their course onto earth for a celebration!

”Blurr, can I talk with you privately?” Hot Rod asked midway to their destination.

”Okay!” Blurr was a little hesitant because Bumblebee’s other brothers had threatened him before but Hot Rod felt like a nice mech. They went to a dark section of the ship and Hot Rod laid on his knee joints to grab Blurr by the shoulders.

”Listen, I know you love my brother a lot and I’m happy that he’s found a good mech to be with,” Hot Rod said while slowly squeezing Blurr shoulder pads by a bit. “But if you ever hurt him, I will crush your frame into a tiny square and put you somewhere that no one can find you. Get me?”

Blurr gave a small “Yes-sir” and nodded.

”Good. Bye, have a nice day!” Hot Rod yelled before letting go of them and walking back to the others. Blurr sighed as he tried to massage their shoulder pads.

”Don’t listen to them, you’re a great mech to be with,” Bumblebee said, leaning on the wall. Blurr jumped at his voice, turned around, and smiled at him. Bumblebee walked up to Blurr and kissed them with Blurr returning the kiss.

”Let’s go back before Nova makes a weird joke about us again,” Bumblebee said while holding Blurr’s servo.

”Great-idea!” Blurr said. They walked servo-in-servo back to the others, Bumblebee was finally at peace and happy.
