"Alright," Savage said as he walked into the center of the training room. "I want you to attack me and keep me pinned to the wall or floor for at least eight seconds, think you can handle that?"

Bumblebee nodded enthusiastically then started to circle his mentor his "pupils" dilated as he looked for an opening he could use to attack, Savage was watching his every move like a hawk. Thinking quickly he aimed a kick in the center of the other bots back, only to have his mentor turn and grab his foot. He inwardly smirked, the while Savage still had his foot he jumped and twisted at the same time so that he other foot slammed into the side of Savage's head.

Savage was stunned to stay the least, he wasn't expecting that, but it wouldn't be the first time Bee had surprised him like that. He shook his head to clear his spinning vision, he turned his attention back to Bumblebee and freezes slightly when he sees the almost predatory like stare in his students optics. He is able to react at the last possible second as Bumblebee goes on the attack.

They through none lethal blows at each other for a good five minutes before Bumblebee sweeps his legs out from under him. To make sure he stays down, he places his foot on his mentors chest and aims on of his wrist guns at him for equal measure.

"Alright, alright. I give." Savage said moments later.

Satisfied, Bumblebee removed his foot from his mentors chest and stepped back to give him room to stand.

"It seems that your ready for the next step in your training. You learn quickly and that could work to your advantage in battle." Savage said calmly.

Bumblebee nodded once, then without waiting for permission he left the training room.

After Bumblebee left, Savage felt more relaxed, he shook his head wondering what had just happened. That whole thing seemed eerily familiar, the predator like stare was the one thing freaked him out the most, it had been the same intense stare that Megatron had given him when he first joined the Decepticons and began his training under the Decepticon lord.

Maybe I just imagined it. He thought trying to calm himself.

"It's a matter of time before Optimus discovers all is not right with you, Scout. Savage is already getting suspicious, but that doesn't matter. I must reclaim my body, which means taking complete and total control of yours." Megatron said to Bumblebee after he left the med bay.

Savage noticed Bumblebee standing in the hall way looking at his hands, he narrowed his optics slightly wondering what was going on with the scout. He had to remember that Bumblebee was still young and younglings did some strange things, he had to admit that he to had done some strange things when he was Bumblebee's age.

"Bumblebee, are you alright?"

Bumblebee jumped at the sound of his mentors voice making him look up and nodded once before walking past Savage.

The former con watched the young scout leave before turning away and heading into the med bay, he smiled a little when he saw Optimus standing on his own.

"It's good to see you well again, sir." Savage said walking over to the Autobot leader.

"Thank you, Savage." Optimus replied with a small nod.

"What brings you to the med bay, Savage. Your shoulder acting up again?" Ratchet asked.

"No, I just wanted to see how Optimus was doing before going on patrol with Bulkhead." Savage replied calmly.

Savage saw Ratchet narrow his optics slightly, he always found it amusing at the medic's irritation and jealousy that wasn't really needed when it came to Bulkhead and himself.

/Will you relax? We're just going on patrol./ Savage said over the bond.

Ratchet looked at Savage through narrowed optics.

"I guess I'll meet you in the main room with Bulkhead." Savage said, he nodded to Optimus once before leaving the med bay.

He shook his head as he entered the main room, he raised an eye brow when he saw Bulkhead and Bumblebee playing what looked like basketball. He crossed his arms as he watched, Bulkhead scored one basket, Bee was about to score one when he suddenly froze. He narrowed his optics when the yellow scout through the "ball" at Bulkhead who ducked and it nearly hit Savage, luckily it missed his head by several inches.

"Bee, hoops over there."

"And it's not my head." Savage put in walking over to them. "Bulkhead, it's time for the patrol. But I guess I could go on my own if you want to continue your game."

"If that's alright with you." Bulkhead replied.

"Yeah, I can cover more ground if I go myself."

"Sweet, we can continue our game!" Miko said.

Savage smirked then raised an eye brow when he felt satisfaction threw the bond, he looked over his shoulder to see Ratchet entering the room.

"Bulkhead's going to stay here and continue his game with Bumblebee." Savage said stating the obvious.

"Very well." Ratchet said going over to the controls and activating the ground bridge.

After leaving the ground bridge, Savage transformed into his alt mode and took the air gaining altitude by the second. While doing that he was still trying to figure out what the heck was wrong with Bumblebee, he hadn't been acting his normal self since he left Megatron's mind to look for the cure.

Ratchet said he was fine, so I shouldn't worry. Savage told himself.

As he continues his patrol, his mind starts to wonder to the cave in the mountains where he found the Dark Energon. He still had no idea how it got there and he sure that Megatron hadn't put it there, his former lord only brought one large cache of it and he had placed it in his throne room. He couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation of how that cache of Dark Energon had gotten there, other wise Megatron wouldn't have bothered to bring the Dark Energon he found on Cosmic shores, where ever the hell that was.

Still, he wanted to go back there and see if it had grown there naturally or had been planted there on purpose. That would have to wait until his patrol was over, it would be over quicker then usual seeing how Bulkhead was playing what the humans called basket ball. Personally he liked Lobbing, the Decepticon version of it was a lot more crazy, the goal was to try to knock the other off his feet by throwing the lob ball at a person's leg or at times the groin or the face. Most times it caused a fight between the Con who had thrown the massive ball and the bot who took it in the crotch.

He resisted the urge to shiver at the memory of himself getting hit in the groin by a lobbed ball, he had dropped like a rock the second the pain hit. he was able to get up seconds later, apparently it had been pick on the newbie week, after that he quickly made it clear that he wasn't one to be messed with after he beat the scrap out of a larger bot after another crazy game of Lobbing.

Just as Savage predicted, his patrol ended quickly without Bulkhead, thanks to Ratchet he could activate a ground bridge for himself to get back to base. Moments later a ground bridge portal opened up a few feet in front of him, transforming into his robot form he glided into it, he found himself in the Autobot base seconds later. He raised an eye brow when he saw that it was completely empty, not even Ratchet was there.

Weird, normally Ratchet would standing close to the ground bridge controls, He thought slightly confused. At least now, I can use the bridge without any one noticing.

Without even bothering to check the coordinateness to where his bond mate had gone, he typed the location where they had found the energon. The ground bridge hummed to life as he pulled the down the handle, he would turn it off once he reached his destination, the moment he stopped out of the ground bridge he pushed a few buttons on his right forearm and the ground bridge vanished.

Well, at least it's not snowing. He thought before activating his thrusters and flying toward the cave.

He shut off his thrusters when he feet touched the floor of the cave, without hesitating he walked deeper into the cave. His spark began to race as the path forms a gentle slope beneath his feet, it didn't take him long to reach the bottom. As always he hesitates when he sees the small cache of dark energon, shaking off his fear he walked toward the tainted energon. He didn't touch it for fear that it would corrupt him, instead he knelt down and checked it roots.

What he found was that it had been planted there thousands of years ago with a dark energon seed. He wasn't sure how that worked, but it he knew that it was possible, he just didn't know how it worked.

Could it have planted here by Megatron? If so, then he must have forgotten about it. He mused.

He then remembered that Megatron never forgot about any thing, the Decepticon lord knew that this was here and he would more then likely come for it to resurrect more undead warriors.

"Not if I have any thing to say about it." He growled as he stood up.

He walked back to the main cave then looked back down the trail and raised his right arm, with a growl he fired a missile. The projectile exploded on impact causing a small explosion and dust to rush towards him and out the mouth of the cave. He waved his hand in front of his face trying to clear the smoke as he walked down the path and he smirked when he saw that the cave had been completely blocked with large rocks and rubble.

"What are we going to tell Savage, Boss?" Bulkhead asked as they returned to the base.

"Nothing." Optimus replied as Ratchet turned off the ground bridge.

-Why not?- Bumblebee asked.

"It's for his own protection."

"Are you worried that if you tell him that Megatron is out of stasis that he'll betray us? Optimus, Savage wouldn't do that, he's been with us for almost a year and he's been nothing but loyal the you and the rest of us." The large green bot stated.

"That is true, Bulkhead. But it's up to Savage to show us where his true loyalties lie. I believe that it's with the Autobots, but should he come face to face with Megatron, I fear that might change." Their leader said calmly.

Neither Bulkhead nor Bumblebee believed that, Savage wouldn't turn against them not after all that's happened. But if the former Con did come face to face with his lord would he turn against them?
Here's another chapter for my TF Fanfic. Read and enjoy.
