Medic Who ? || A TFP Ratchet fanfiction

Chapter 8 : Lost again ?

I've lost track of time ever since he hasn't returned from the mission
Did he do it on purpose ? Was he trying to help us ?
I was unaware of his plan, which worried me greatly.

He would do anything to prove me his worth and loyalty
Despite me believing him.

I'd spend my time on the computer, desperately glancing at the screen. Searching for a signal even weakened.
But nothing
He had deactivated his life signal
So i wouldn't find him and risk my life

What i didn't expect was a decepticon message from the Lord himself
Megatron sent us a message, claiming he would set his prisoner also known as our teammate and my partner, in exchange of Optimus.

Losing my oldest friend ? What if Megatron doesn't respect his part of the deal ? I would lose them both

After discussing with the rest of the team and planning a plan, we activated the groundbridge to the given coordinates and walked through it.
Megatron was waiting for us with that same twisted and repulsive smirk, showing his sharp metallic dentas
Behind him was standing Breakdown, hammer out and glancing at us and Knockout, hand on his hip, holding someone with his free hand

That someone was him
He was tied up, but looked mostly unharmed and in good shape.
He was glaring at Megatron, grumbling profanities under his breath as the lord's servants tried to contain him the best they could
But something tells me he gave them a very hard and painful time while he was on the nemesis

He was alright

Optimus stepped forward and ordered Megatron to let him go
Which of course, being the gladiator he was, Megatron refused and told him he wanted him chained first, before releasing the prisoner

I was fuming
It was times like this i wish i had guns instead of blades or welders
Well they could be useful and dangerous but only when your opponents were close to you enough for you to inflict damages

Which wasn't very common when fighting unless you were an undead Cybertronian and your only mean of defense and attack was your servos and mandible

But that's not the point
They needed my help
He needed me

Optimus walked to Megatron, standing 6 feet away from him, before doing as we planned and running while activating his blades, which took Megatron by suprised, forcing him to block the attack with his own blade.

While the rest of us went to the two other decepticons, Bulkhead with Breakdown and Bumblebee and Arcee with Knockout.
I went to set him free, which earned me a crushing hug, not that i really mind, but being the short bot that i was and him the gigantic one, i was dangling a bit.

After our short moment, he showed me a USB, explaining to me he stole decepticons datas, some that might lead us to important relics and artefacts

I couldn't believing my eyes
He risked his life for datas

If i had a wrench with me, i would have smacked him for doing this and worrying me

But he was lucky enough
For now..

We then ran to help and joined the battle field
Him with Bulkhead
And I joined Optimus

But as we were fighting, Megatron twisted my arm and sent me flying, me landing in the bunches and trees nearby.
For primus sake, I may have proved myself on Cybertron, but i am indeed gettjg rusty and old.

Regaining consciousness, I glanced at where Optimus was and saw him punching his opponent hard and fast
But as he was about to give one last blow, Megatron kicked him and used his sword to make Optimus fall backward.
Seeing this, my fellow dark red yellow eyed companion ran to Megatron, guns out
Before firing at him like his life depended on it

Of course Megatron dodged most of them and attacked back
The two were fighting in such way it was almost a dance. A dangerous and unwanted dance, the kind you wish it would end, but it never does.

After a moment, Megatron called for a groundbridge, which appeared seconds after, his fellow beaten and dented decepticons follow along and running through it first

But Before joining them
The shiny silver lord left us a poisoned and painful gift

He shot my partner down, leaving on his body nothing but a massive burn filled with leaking energon as he fell down painfully.

By the allspark..
