"Ask a Decepticon for that." He groaned.

"A Decepticon would kill him." I explained, "He needs some medical treatment."

"Who?"

"The lonely old mech in this cave. Entrance is collapsed, we're both sitting ducks."

"Sitting What?" Ratchet asked.

"Ratchet." I warned.

"Yes?"

"He's leaking energon." I said.

"I'll come over with Wheeljack." He said.

"Why him?" I asked.

"He's the only option at the moment." He explained. "Yes you're coming." He said to someone else. "I don't care."

"OH MY PRIMUS, HURRY!" I screamed and that seemed to do it. I heard a ground bridge from outside, they must've tracked my signal.

I hung up on the com. "In here!" I yelled and heard rocks being shifted.

After a bunch they finally got through. "Nice work!" Those rocks never stood a fragging chance. I kicked one.

"Hey Quill." Wheeljack greeted as he came through. Then there was Ratchet.

"The mech?" He quizzed as he came through.

"Oh he's fine." I said and Ratchet glared daggers at me.

"You made it sound likes he's dying." Jack accused Ratchet.

"He made it seem so." Ratchet pointed at me.

"You wanna see him?" I asked and they nodded. I skipped ahead to the main cavern, "Ratchet is here, as requested." I told Alpha Trion as he looked over. "And Wheeljack." I said as he stuck his helm around, Ratchet was yet to round the corner.

"Holy scrap!" Wheeljack gasped as he stumbled into the cavern, catching sigh of the mech.

"Language!" Ratchet yelled at him and his optics went wide.

"Hello." The old bot said cheerily.

"We all thought you were offline!" Ratchet yelped as he examined his wound. "How did you escape?"

Wheeljack leaned over to me, "How did you find him?"

"Destiny."

"You sound like Smokescreen." He grumbled.

"Smokescreen is here too?" Alphy tuned in.

"Yup." Wheeljack and I said.

"Optimus, Ultra Magnus, Arcee, Bulkhead, Bumblebee, Smokescreen, Ratchet and Wheeljack." I told him.

Ratchet worked silently on him and when he finished he sighed. "There's good news and bad news." He stated.

"Can I guess the bad news?" I asked but he ignored me.

"Good news: I fixed him. Bad news:" He turned to Alphy. "You're going to offline anyway."

"We all do in the end." He said as Jackie and I stared, dumbstruck.

"What? Why?" We both asked.

"Look at him, he's ancient." Ratchet said rudely. "Sorry." He said as an after thought.

Alphy hummed.

"Can I plan his Funeral?' I asked, exited. I never did that before.

They all, except Alpha Trion, glared at me.

"Maybe we can take him back to the medbay?" I suggested and Ratchet helped him up.

"Not the medbay." He said.

"Why?"

"The berth is still on fire." Wheeljack told me as we got out of the cave. "We have another in the main room though."

Alpha Trion frowned in confusion.

Ratchet took out a remote and activated a ground bridge. We all went through it and once we got there he but the old bot on a berth.

"What happened to the other one?" He asked as he sat down on it.

"Quillux set it afire." Ratchet explained.

I noticed the Star Sabre of to the side, "You fix it yet Ratch?"

"Hmm?" He turned, "Maybe, try it." He said and crossed his arms as they waited.

I picked it up and it glowed. "Guess not." I said and put it down.

For some reason, Alpha Trion was grinning.
