Arrow was crouched at the backside of the Spacebridge pedestal, connecting a cable to an opening. It clicked into place, and he twisted it to the right. There was a clang as he did that, and a whirring noise started up. The Cyberwolf looked up at the Spacebridge, then looked back at the cable. He pushed down the two clamps around the connection site, then heard the cable pressurize. He looked back up at the Spacebridge, then stood. He backed up, transformed, and leapt onto the pedestal.
"Cable's connected, Red!" He called, padding down the steps.
"Good." Red Alert responded, nodding, "Blaze, how's the fuel line?"
"Doing good!" The silver Autobot shouted.
He stood from the side of the Spacebridge, lubricant and oil on his faceplates.
"Arrow, can you help?" He asked.
The Cyberwolf nodded. He ran to his friend, transforming and kneeling next to him.
Ratchet looked up at the older medic. "Red, the energon reserves on the Spacebridge are low. We can't turn it on too early, or it'll be useless."
"How'll we know if it works or not?" Arrow asked from far away.
"We won't." The white Autobot said, "We just need to hope that it'll work."
He got no response. As Arrow and Blaze worked on the Spacebridge, the Cyberwolf's comm crackled.
"Arrow, do you copy?" Ultra Magnus asked.
He turned away to respond, handing a wrench to his friend, "Yeah, I'm here. Is everyone okay?"
"We're... fine." The commanding officer said, "Have you found an exit? The Decepticons are knocking down the entrance!"
"Yes, we've found one, and it's almost ready! Come to my location!" Arrow said.
"Understood." There was a loud crash on the other side, and Ultra Magnus shouted an order before speaking to the Cyberwolf, "The Decepticons broke in! Hurry!"
Arrow didn't respond. He looked up at the medics.
"Let's hurry this up!" He yelled.

The Decepticons poured into the building, Megatron behind them all. Optimus helped Jetfire and Ultra Magnus guard their leader, slashing at Decepticons and pushing them away.
"Guardian!" The commanding officer yelled, "Arrow's got an exit for us! Take everyone to his location!"
The black Autobot nodded. He motioned for the remaining Autobots and the few neutrals to follow. They started running down the hall, Decepticons firing after them and giving chase.
"What do we do, Magnus?" Jetfire asked.
"You and Optimus get Zeta to the location!" Ultra Magnus said, "I'll hold them off."
"There's too many!" Optimus protested.
"My concern is for our leader. Do as I ordered, and protect the others!" The tall blue Autobot said, "I trust you two."
Those words had a weight that the red and blue Autobot didn't expect. He looked over at the Seeker, who looked back at him.
"Go, both of you!" He yelled.
Jetfire and Optimus reluctantly obeyed. They lifted Zeta up (who had passed out by now) and dragged him the same way Guardian went, going as fast as they could. Some Decepticons ran after them, but Ultra Magnus whipped out a blaster and shot them down.
