The Autobots wasted no time to open a ground bridge and land on the Nemesis. Ratchet wanted to go to save Akirah from Megatron's prison, but Optimus stopped him. "I know Akirah means a lot to you, but you must remain her to prepare sick.bay for her. She needs your help, for you're the only medic. If something happened to you, Akirah has got no one to heal her wounds." His words were true and wise.
Ratchet nodded. "Just please bring her back here safe!" He watched as Optimus went inside the ground bridge. He too wanted to save 'his daughter', but the Prime was right. If something happened to him, Akirah doesn't have anyone to fix her. Ratchet sighed and stood in front of the monitor, keeping a lookout for them.

The Nemesis was too quiet when the Autobots landed. The alarm didn't go off like they thought it would, and the Vehicons weren't waiting for them. Something was weird, and it was in the atmosphere.
"Proceed with extra caution." Optimus ordered his team as he slowly began walking, looking sideways for any Decepticon; the Autobots followed him with their weapons ready for any possible attack.
"Where is everyone? It's like we're the only bots on this ship!" Bulkhead said; Bumblebee nodded his head in agreement.
Suddenly, a scream echoed through the halls of the Nemesis.
"That sounded like Akirah!"
Race was the first to run towards the source of the voice, she followed Akirah's screams of pain until she busted the doors of a cell; Arcee was shocked to what she saw. Akirah was hung up by her wrists, energon was bleeding through her wounds, and she barely had her optics optics opened; Akirah grunted with pain. However, something was not right, neither the Vehicons nor Megatron were guarding her, but Arcee didn't care. "Akirah, we're here!" She said and walked towards the femme to free her.
"N-no, Arcee! It's a trap!" Akirah managed to say with all the energy left in her.
Arcee was suddenly pinned to the ground by two Vehicons; they started to beat her, but they got blown away by Bulkhead. "Thanks, Bulk." Arcee said as she took his servo to stand up.

The sound of the activation of blasters was then heard. Six Vehicons stood together, forming a wall to block the Autobot's way from reaching their prisoner and from escaping the cell. The Autobots activated their own blasters, ready to shoot the Vehicons down and save Akirah when Megatron appeared with anger and hatred in his bloody red optics. He didn't say anything but ordered the Vehicons. "Decepticons, attack!"
The battle is on.

The Vehicons began to shoot at the Autobots, trying to forbid them from getting to Akirah, but they were easily defeated by Bulkhead and Arcee; Optimus was fighting Megatron.
"Bumblebee, you free Akirah. Arcee and I will distract them!" Bulkhead said as he shot another Vehicon. The more Bulkhead and Arcee shot down Vehicons, the more of them appeared. At first, there was only six of them, but there's about twelve of them now, and even more are coming.

Bumblebee nodded and ran to Akirah. 'Don't worry, Akirah. Everything will be alright!' He beeped while working on the cuffs that were cutting through her wrists. Once he freed her, he beeped to the others, 'I got her!'
Arcee didn't waste anytime to contact Ratchet, requesting a ground bridge.
'You'll be okay, Aki! Just stay with me!' Bumblebee beeped to the bleeding femme in his arms, trying to keep her conscious; Akirah weakly smiled.

Optimus, although he was fighting Megatron in the hall, and the sound of swords clashing, was able to hear Bumblebee. He waited for the ground bridge to open; Optimus swung his sword at Megatron, hoping to get him, but got blocked by Megatron.
Finally, a green portal opened for them. "Autobot's, fall back!" Optimus said. He kept fighting Megatron and the Vehicons to distract them, so the Autobots will be able to get to the base.
Bumblebee was the first to go in with Akirah. Arcee and Bulkhead followed them. Optimus was the last to enter the ground bridge.

"Akirah!" Ratchet ran to Bumblebee's side, and put his hand on the wounded femme's forehead. "Bring her to sick.bay!"
Bumblebee nodded and went to the med.bay where he gently laid Akirah on the berth.
Ratchet didn't waste any time. He picked up the scanner and scanned her for any major damage. Luckily for her, there wasn't any; however, her spark beats weren't normal. "Akirah, I'm going to hook you on the monitor to observe your spark beats." Akirah nodded. The medic, while hooking wires into Akirah, began to imagine what Megatron did to her. He can guess that he shocked her spark.
"I-is something wrong with my spark, Ratchet?" Akirah asked.
Ratchet shook his head. "No, dear. There's nothing wrong. It's normal for a spark to beat abnormally when it's shocked. The beats will go back to their normal rhythm after a while, but I will keep checking on them just to make sure everything is alright." He explained with a gentle voice, so he would not scare her. After hooking her up, he began working on her wounds and dents; the energon had dried.
"Will she be alright?" Bulkhead asked. His optics showed how worried he was.
Ratchet nodded. "Yes. Nothing serious."
Once he was done, Ratchet looked at Akirah in the optics and said, "please forgive me, but I just induced you. I need you to recharge, so your body can heal itself."
"Okay~" Akirah slowly nodded. She was wondering why she was getting tired while he was working on her dents.
Optimus watched her slowly slipping into recharge. He was going to ask her when she wakes up, for he didn't understand what Megatron meant by 'she will come back to us'. Doubts were starting to build up inside of him, but he wasn't going to judge her until he confirms everything.

I didn't need to be fixed, yet he fixed me. I wasn't sure how he saw me, but I wasn't feeling any pain. However, now I am, for I got treated like a broken bot.
Do I even appreciate his help? I'm not sure anymore.
As memories began to come back to me, I learned who I really I'm, and who's side I'm on; still, I don't know who's side should I choose. Should I choose the side of the bot who fixed me when I'm not broken, or should I choose the side of the bot who was going to torture me until I break?
I believe that the answer is pretty obvious to who's side I should choose.
Still ... I don't know.
