A New Battle Is Waging {Sequel to You Heal Me}

Chapter 9

I was sitting next to Ratchet yet again. It was the day before the big battle. I had to tell him of what had occurred in the hopes that he could hear me.

"Hey, Ratch." My voice was quiet but I could still hear the break in it. I was sad. Very sad. All I wanted was to feel Ratchet's arms around me once more. But that wasn't going to happen for only Primus knows how long.

"A lot has happened in the past couple days", I whisper. "We're planning on going to battle against Swarm tomorrow. Its going to be interesting. I hope that after the battle, you'll wake up. I don't know how much longer I'll be able to handle you being in a coma. If you can hear me, don't worry about me in the battle. I'm going to be in my predacon form.  Hopefully I'll be able to do what I did the first time I became a predacon. We have a slight plan for how we're going to fight. It's not much but hopefully it will work. I'm hoping that we can defeat Arachnid once and for all. Once we do, we'll be able to go back to Cybertron. It won't be the same if you're not awake for it. I know how badly you've been wanting to see Cybertron back to it's former glory. I promise you it will be that way again. Even if... Even if you're not there to see it."

I choked back a sob as my emotions came full force into action.

"I love you, Ratch. It's been so hard, not having you by my side. Why'd you have to go and get hurt, dang it! Why are you even in this fragging coma?! It makes no sense. It's been 3 and a half weeks. I miss you, Ratch. Please, please, PLEASE, come back... come back to me..."

I was full on sobbing by now but I didn't care. After all, it was only just me and Ratchet in the room. He's seen me like this before.

"There's something else. I'm still not exactly sure how it happened, but Breakdown... Breakdown is back from the dead. He just appeared in the other room of the medbay. Knockout is so happy to have him back. I'm glad to have him back too but it's getting harder to show that. With you in a coma, and me not knowing when you'll wake or if you'll even wake, it's hard. It's been 3 and half weeks, you fragging idiot! Why... why did you leave me alone...? Especially in the hardest part of the war... Why'd you do this to me...? Why...?"

After that I stood up, but not to leave. I was going to sing him a song. The same song I always sing before I leave.

"I was never alive
'Til the day I was blessed with you
When I hold you late at night
I know what I was put here to do
I turn off the world and listen to you sigh
And I will sing my Angel's Lullaby"

"Know I'm forever near
The one you can always call
Right all you know to fear
Are the shadows on your wall
I'm here close enough
To kiss the tears you cry
And I will sing my Angel's Lullaby"

"So tell me how to stop the years from racing
Is there a secret someone knows?
I'll never catch all the memories I'm chasing
I'll never be ready to let go"

"And when the world seems cold
And you feel that all of your strength is gone
There may be one tiny voice
Your reason to carry on
And when I'm not close enough
To kiss the tears you cry
You will sing your Angel's Lullaby
Let this be our Angel's Lullaby."

I smile softly as I kiss Ratchet's forehead before going to the door.

"I love you Ratchet", I whisper before exiting.
