Rachel quickly stands, knocking over her chair and Major Lennox rushes over to her screen. "Raf! Where are you? What's going on? Are you okay?!" The girl asks, her eyes glowing in worry. Broadwing tries to calm her down, but to no avail. Her sparkrate was drastically increasing.

Raf huffs and ducks, then his face reappears on screen. "I don't have much time! I just sent you our coordinates in the secure bug I attached to the email you tried to check! It should have uploaded the minute you ran the diagnostic!" Rachel calms quickly, and begins to type as Ratchet pin points the location once she gets the coordinates out. A gasp is heard from the boy, and Rachel turns to see his face brighten up. "I see Optimus! I guess you guys spotted the 'Con movement?"

Rachel nods, but her eyes narrow. "Raf! How close are you to the coordinates? And is Sam with you?" Raf shakes his head before appearing to run again. "We were split up, and I got away with-Scrap, Ironhide!" He gazes up, his eyes wide as he points towards the sky.

"It's Megatron!"

Rachel's breathing hitches, and William quickly grabs her arm. "No! You're not going out there! Your spark can't take any more strain!" The girl throws her arm up, knocking the man back a few steps. "I am not letting him get hurt anymore than he already is! Especially by that insane, heartless killer!" Ratchet interjects this time, glaring down at the woman. "I don't care if Unicron himself was out there! You will not go into the field until you are up and running 100%!" As the woman glares up at him with a snarl, he softens slightly. "Trust Optimus to get the job done, Rachel. He won't let Rafael get hurt."

The girl lowers her gaze and mumbles something, then turns back to the screen. "Raf, get to those coordinates you sent us now! Ratchet will open a ground bridge for you to get through." She gives the medic a side glance, and he nods. The boy on the other end gulps, then nods his head. "A-Alright. I-I'm going! See you soon, Raf out!" His face disappears and Rachel quickly rushes towards the rails. "Ratchet!"

"I'm already on it!"

The ground bridge lever moves downward on its own, and the Wreckers step back when it comes to life. The noise echoes around, and Rachel gazes at it expectantly. Her head was reeling from the slight power she had used to throw Will back, albeit unintentional, and it was taking most of Broadwing's strength to keep Rachel standing. Jazz was still in recharge in her subconscious, having taken the brunt of the battle himself despite the Predacon's requests. 

Rachel hardly notices William walk up next to her as seconds tick by and turn to minutes. Unease sweeps over everyone in the room until an engine rumbles loud and clear from the swirling vortex. The noise grows louder until a large black GMC launches out of the ground bridge and skids to a halt behind Ratchet. Soon, another vehicle glides through, and Rachel's eyes widen with joy. However, she doesn't move until a certain spiked brown haired boy steps out of the GMC truck. Her body surges with renewed strength and she rushes down the stairs.

Said boy turns and his face brightens up. He quickly rushes towards the girl and they embrace each other. Rachel quickly picks him up and spins around slightly. "Woah! Careful! I just came from the ground bridge!" The girl sets him down and he steps back holding his head slightly. "Don't want to puke on... you? Jack?!" The boy gazes behind Rachel as Jack also makes it to the end of the stairs. Miko quickly joins him, and Raf's eyes widen. "M-Miko?!" Before he can say anymore, Miko grabs him and hugs him tight. "Raf! Dude! Where've you been?" Jack joins the group and gives Raf a fist bump once he is released from the death grip of the pony tail girl.

Rachel smiles at the interactions of the friends, but her mind quickly changes focus as the rest of the group finally makes it back and Ratchet closes the bridge. Turning on her heal, Rachel quickly makes her way to stand in front of her Chevy Corvette Stingray. She places her hands on her hips and smiles. "Swipes! You're late." She says, and the car revs before swiftly transforming into the mech. He gives the girl a smirk and kneels down. "Well, wasn't my fault. Big Cannons here couldn't figure out north from south." His optics shift over the girl to the truck, which quickly shifts into the Autobot weapon specialist.

He only grunts, but a small smile works its way onto his faceplates as they fall on the young woman. "It's nice to see you again, Rachel." The girl gives him a huge smile and motions for him to come closer. Kneeling as well, he gets closer before extending a servo. The girl climbs on and he lifts her up. Once high enough, she steps forward and hugs the side of Ironhide's face. The mech freezes at first, but he cups her back with his other servo. Sideswipe smirks, but Rachel lets go of Ironhide and turns. Once the mech moves his servo, she rushes off and jumps towards Sideswipe, who catches her with a 'Woah!'.

Rachel easily regains herself and once Sideswipe lifts her to his face, she does the same thing. However, when she finally release him, she climbs onto his shoulder and sighs. "You two had me worried. Especially you, you big lug!" She points at Ironhide, and he holds up servos in defense. "The last thing I saw of you was you body slamming... Knockout!" Broadwing hums his 'you're welcome' as she had forgotten the name of the red 'con from before.

However, she releases a sudden yawn, and Sideswipe eyes her carefully. Ironhide huffs. "Looks like you'll have to save the 'aft kicking' for later, kiddo." Rachel glares at him, then nods. "You have no idea...." With that, she closes her eyes and slightly leans against Sideswipe, glad to have her guardian and a few of her best friends safe again.

For now.
