"Bulkhead!", I yelled and crawled over to him.

"SilverBlade, get back on that crate!", sire scowled.

"No!", I glared at him, "Bulkhead is my best friend. I've known him for years. I'm not leaving him."

Sire sighed knowingly.

::Raf, we need a goundbridge.:: Arcee's voice came though the com unit.

Raf opened the bridge and they came through. Arcee and Bumblebee immediately got to work. Arcee helped me to the med bay while Bee and Ratchet carried Bulkhead. Miko was following us as she cried. We made it to the medbay and Arcee set me down on a berth and Bulkhead was placed on another one. 

Sire walked toward me with medical tools and I glared at him.

"Bulkhead is in a way worse shape than I am. I just have a few wires twisted and my protoform is a little wrecked. He has a slagging hole in his back!", I snapped.

He put his servos up in defense and turned to Bulkhead. I looked down at Miko and picked her up.

"What happened?", she asked, watching Ratchet work.

"I am not exactly sure but whatever happened, it was bad. However, Bulkhead is a tough wrecker. He wont let something like this get to him. There is always a way to cure something. Sometimes, we just cant cure someone because either they are long gone already or we don't have the right tools. As soon as my sire gets Bulkhead stable, its all up to him.", I explained.

"You're alright.", he mumbled.

"Yes, I'm fine.", I gave him a reassuring smile but winced when I moved my pede.

"What's wrong?", he asked, searching my whole form.

"Optimus, its okay. I'm fine thanks to sire and Wheeljack.", I set a servo on his cheek plating and he closed his optics as he leaned into my touch.

"There. I've done all I can. It's up to Bulkhead now. Silver, could I speak with you alone?", he glanced at Optimus and Miko.

Optimus nodded and set me on the berth. He got up and lifted Miko up. The two of them left.

"What is it?", I asked as he scanned my pede.

"It is as I feared. I am going to have to perform surgery to remove your pede. It's far too damaged due to the impact it recieved.", sire looked at me with sorrow.

"What?! No! How on cybert
