Find Me (You Saved Me Series Book 3)

And The Battle Carries On

On board the Nemisis a battle is raging. A war of the century is being fought. It's not long after Dreadwing and Shelby are helped to base that Miko and Jack leave to go join the effort. They gave word to Optimus that they are back, but they are in no condition to join the fight at the moment. Shelby doesn't let herself rest enough and starts fixing Dreadwing. Hoping to have him fit enough to join sooner than later. They listen to the comm chatter. Shelby praying to not hear of anyone dying. She knows one might, but even when she knows that the Cybermatter will bring him back, it still hurts. 

"Shelby, it doesn't have to be perfect." Dreadwing whines at her as she finishes up welding his side. 

"Yip-ip-ip-ip! Stop moving!" She shouts at him and he freezes in place, his optics going wide. "I'm almost done."

She does a final touch and runs her hand over the hot metal. She was able to weld a piece of broken metal on his wing to make it almost back to normal, but they all know Ratchet would do a better job. It took her longer than she had hoped as waves of dizziness had washed over her a few times. She tried to drink as much water as she could to help, but it doesn't seem to be working. 

"You need to rest, too." Dreadwing tells her. 

"We need to get onboard that ship and help." She growls. 

"The battle is probably almost over. You are in no condition to fight." He argues, checking out the work she did. "Nice job, good as new." 

"I'm fine. Let's go." 

"No. I'm risking something happening to you when you are in this condition." Dreadwing stands his ground. 

She is about to start arguing back when the comm starts going off. 

"Optimus Prime to all units. Megatron is no more." 

"Yes!" Agent Fowler cheers, jumping up. 

"Aw we missed the whole thing." Shelby tries not to sound upset. 

"But you knew they could do it." Dreadwing reassured. 

"I did." She gives a light smile. 

"Raf, Shelby, Dreadwing. Ya'll still alive down there? Get yourselves up to the ship. So we can get to Cybertron already." A unreconizable voice comes through the comm. 

"Wait whose that?" Agent Fowler asks pointing to the computer. 

"Bee?" Raf wonders excitedly. 

"Come on Raf! Let's go!" Shelby calls up to him. 

He smiles wide and opens up the ground bridge. Dreadwing picks up Shelby and Raf, hoisting them onto his shoulders and they walk through. On the other side, the Autobots hold the bridge proudly. Wheeljack at the helm ready to navigate the ship. Hot Rod and Knockout surround Shelby and Dreadwing. Dreadwing setting Raf to the ground and he runs over to Bumblebee, excited to talk to him finally. 

"You're okay." Hot Rod asks, looking them up and down.

"Well kind of. What happened to your side? What kind of patch is that?" Knockout lifts Dreadwings arm up to inspect the damage more. 

"Hey, I was trying to work quickly." Shelby shouts at him. 

"Ratchet and I will look at it more closely after we revive Cybertron." Knockout scoffs but sends Shelby a wink. 

"All aboard!" Wheeljack says over the intercom. "On route to Cybertron."

The space bridge opens up and the Nemisis flies effortlessly through. On the other side the dead planet comes into view. Everyone is silently waiting for the ship to reach its destination. The Well of Allsparks. Ratchet said there was only enough cyber-matter for one go. So, Optimus declared they needed to deposit it into Primus himself.
