Estrela immediately passed out for a few moments, shifting into her human form as she laid limp. Looking as though dead, if it wasn't for the occasional breath of air. Groaning in pain as she tried to get up, but fell back down onto the sand covered floor.
Soundwave ran and grabbed her, cradling her in his arms and holding her close to his chest. "Estrela!" He muttered desperately. "I'm right here, its ok!"
Radio fell to her knees nearby, holding her throat and coughing violently.
"Radio." She muttered, weakly. Glancing at him with her once again blue eyes before looking towards their daughter.
She looked up and gave her a weak smile and thumbs up, despite the energon trickling down her from her lips as she coughed.
That only caused her to panic as she saw the energon. "Sound...Radio." She muttered.
He picked her up before hurrying over to his daughter. Radio tried to say something but could barely get any words out without sounding like she was trying to cough up a lung. She eventually gave up and just hugged her mother.
Ratchet scanned them both worriedly. "Estrela is low on energon." He muttered. "We don't have any supply here."
"I'm...not drinking...Soundwave's now I'm...somewhat Cybertronian. I'm not...sucking him dry." She weakly spat between coughs.
"Radio will be fine. Just a little horse." Ratchet commented.
"My energon reserves are nowhere near dry." Soundwave assured her, stroking her hair. "They get replenished quickly enough."
"No." She spat. "I'm not taking...from you." As Shockwave and Predaking also approached them worriedly.
The dragon whined and nudged her, trying to see what was wrong. Steve had also recovered and walked over
"I'm...fine." She mumbled, slowly raising her arm up, not able to lift it more than a few inches until her hand was trembling violently.
Soundwave grabbed it and lowered it back down. "You need to rest." He said quietly. "Which means no moving whatsoever. You're not fine."
She purposely sat there and started to blink several times to weakly annoy him.
"She needs energon, but she refused to take from Soundwave." Knockout explained, looking at Shockwave. "We need to find energon somehow. Or she may pass into stasis."
Predaking growled and pushed in front of him, looking determinedly at Knockout.
"What?" Knockout demanded as Estrela's eyes started to go hazy, slowly closing up on her. She weakly smiled, however brief.
The dragon huffed before taking a step back. He growled and closed his eyes before gears started shifting and his body changing.
Knockout, Ratchet and Optimus looked at Predaking, while Raf came towards them with the other kids and the rest of their group. Raf gasping at the sight.
The bot rose up above them all, standing even taller than Optimus, his frame bulky and spiky as he looked down at them. "I said I would gladly donate my energon if it means keeping her alive." He said in a deep voice.
Knockout looked like he was about to pass out as he looked at the large form of Predaking. Estrela's eyes fluttering weakly a moment as she looked up at him in a faint recognition, before her eyes officially closed, hiding her blue eyes.
"Primus me..." Ratchet muttered before he actually did collapse onto the ground, Optimus quick to catch him.
Steve stumbled back in surprise. Even Shockwave just stared up at him, unable to speak or even mutter an 'Illogical' out. "Oh my spark..." Soundwave muttered as he and Radio stared up. "Out of everything today, I was not expecting this."
