Ultra Magnus felt that he had no time for a sparkmate. They were in the middle of a war,and he was the Second in Command of the Autobots. A sparkmate could go through pain and torture because of his position.
But now,all those constant thoughts vanished from his processor as Predaking crushed his servo. He screamed in agony before the black dots began dancing before his optics.
His optics shuttered,and when he opened them again,Predaking was gone and the Forge was shattered into two. Wheeljack was staggering towards him,clutching his chassis.
"Commander...we have to get up..."Wheeljack managed to say before trying to help Ultra Magnus up. Ultra Magnus felt his right wrist twist,and he let out a yelp of pain.
Wheeljack paused,staring at his crushed servo with a worried look."You have to get up,Commander. Optimus will be here soon."He whispered.
Ultra Magnus nodded numbly as he placed one pede firmly on the ground,feeling his other wounds sting. His helm stung with pain,where Predaking had slammed him into a rock.
His midsection was even worse. His biolights were cracked and Energon was slowly trickling out of them.
"Ultra Magnus,Wheeljack."Optimus had arrived,and Ultra Magnus leaned heavily on Wheeljack before passing out.

Wheeljack blinked his optics wearily and stared at Ultra Magnus,who was currently deep in recharge on the berth. Ratchet had gone for a long drive after he had assembled the pieces to make Ultra Magnus a new servo.
The Wrecker hesitantly got up before making his way to the medical berth. He sat on the edge of berth and sighed.
"Wheel...jack?"Wheeljack was startled when Ultra Magnus' optics onlined. The Commander did not have his usual hard,stoic look on his faceplates,but instead a pained one replaced it.
"I'm sorry to interrupt your recharge...sir."The 'sir' at the end of the sentence still came unnaturally to Wheeljack,but it did come easier.
"You don't need to call me sir. Due to my...servo,I will be relieved of duty,and therefore will be unable to lead the Wreckers."Ultra Magnus spared a glance at where his servo used to be.
"I'm sure Optimus will need you soon. We cannot spare any bots right now. And I think the old Doc understands that."Wheeljack reassured. They both dove into uncomfortable silence,before Ultra Magnus spoke up.
"I apologize,Wheeljack,"Ultra Magnus shifted slightly."I have been too strict,and I have now realized that a team is not just a unit. It holds a bond stronger than comrades."
Wheeljack bit back a sarcastic remark."The past is behind us."He shrugged.
Ultra Magnus visibly relaxed."Will you stay?"He asked with uncertainty.
The smaller Wrecker stared at his Commander with surprise,before a soft look came to his optics."Of course,Commander."
They both stayed in silence throughout the whole night,but many unspoken words were exchanged between them.
