When The Doctor Goes Blind

Problems and More Problems

Sorry I took so long to update! Had pandemic problems enjoy the chapter!

A few hours later, Drift woke up in the fire house bunker. He was on a metal medical table and he felt numb from probably all the painkillers they gave him while he was unconscious. Drift looked around the room and noticed ratchet sleeping in a nearby chair, so Drift being drift used all his will power to get up and walk to his courtmate. He was pretty wobbly but he was walking great since his back was nearly crushed.

Drift looked down at the sleeping ratchet and smiled "Primus he's such a wonderful mech thank you for giving me the second chance with him" he mumbled softly. The moment drift was having was suddenly ruined when he heard a young voice from behind him "are you talking to yourself or Ratchet?" Cody asked curiously. Drift cursed under his breath "that's not important" drift stated awkwardly as he turned to face the youngest human "somethin' you need?" Cody nodded and looked up at the swords mech worried "Priscilla faked getting hurt by you when you were stuck under the building and not her and her mom are trying to get the mayor to give you to them since they think you're a robot." Before Drift could reply ratchet who had woke during their conversation spoke "those glitches! They actually think something that stupid would work." Cody shrugged "it could work in theory...she worked with Doctor Morocco to kidnap the rescue bots and force them to dig for gold, she could be working with him again which means something bad will happen"

Ratchet shook his head "I would to help but-" he waved his servo in front of his face "-I'm blind" he finished. Cody frowned "that's not true Ratchet! You helped blades fix Drift when he was out, you would definitely be a great help" Ratchet smiled at the small human. Drift nodded in agreement. Cody got a com and looked at drift "the mayor wants you to talk about what's happening I'll go with you the others are also going." Drift nodded and looked at Ratchet "will you be fine on your on for a hour or two?" He asked the medic quietly. Ratchet looked annoyed "yes I can handle myself. I'm not some sparkling that needs to constantly be watched" drift laughed "I'll hold you to that"

At the city hall drift and the other Autobots were standing outside behind the humans who were talking. "Well we can't have a lawsuit for a robot that just appeared today! Where's doc green? Maybe he can clear up where this new robot came from" it took everything Drift had to not react to what the mayor said. As if on cue a weird car pulled up and out came someone that looked like a scientist. Chief smiled at the new man "doc you're here." He said relived doc green nodded "I am. Now what is this about one of my robots?" The mayor stood from his chair and glared at doc green "that new robot-" mayor Luskey spat out while pointing at Drift "-hurt Madeline's daughter and now we will face a lawsuit if we don't give her that bot." Doc green looked at chief worried but remembered that there was cameras all around town. "That bot isn't mine, it's the government's and there are cameras all around town so there is a chance that she made things up" chief nodded "Doc is right, I will check the cameras at the fire house until then mayor Luskey, I suggest to not do anything till this is all cleared up" with that chief burns and the rescue bots leave for the fire house. Madeline, who was watching it all from a bush called someone when she knew her plans are going south.

Meanwhile at the firehouse, a strange vehicle drove into the firehouse. A strange man came out of the vehicle and the car transformed into a morbot. The man, Doctor Morocco had discovered the bunker a while ago and he was looking for some blackmail to use against the burns. He and the morbot went into the bunker and was surprised to see a unknown Cybertronian on the bot sized couch. The mech straightened up and looked to where the sound of the elevator "who's there?" Ratchet asked cautiously. He knew if it was the others they would be talking about what was happening however he heard no talking. Morocco noticed that the mech was looking straight at him but couldn't see him, that realization made Morocco smirk. "I am the chief's brother? Who are you?" He asked trying to not sound threatening even though it didn't matter. Ratchet looked suspicious "Chief Burns would have said something about him having a brother" Morocco decided that he didn't have time to convince the new robot to go with him so he snapped his fingers and the morbot grabbed ratchet.

Ratchet struggled in the robot's hold "Let me go! If Drift or Wheeljack get their hands on you, you will regret it!" Morocco ignored the complains as he lead the morbot down a tunnel to his lair after he left his symbol on the wall. Ratchet eventually lost his fight since he was pretty much helpless without his sight. Once in the lair the morbot strapped the blind medic to a table while Morocco planned his next move.

When the rescue bots and drift came back they searched the entire firehouse but couldn't find Ratchet anywhere. Drift was extremely worried about his courtmate and he couldn't stop pacing in the bunker. Cody was checking the bunker for any clues and he gasped when he saw Morocco's symbol. He used his comm to tell the others what he found and they all rushed to the basement. "So Morocco kidnapped a blind medic? How low can he go?" Sneered heatwave. Blades frowned "we have to find him! Who knows what he's going to do to him" Drift nodded as he sharpened his sword "Now he'll see why I was such a feared 'con" drift said darkly as his optics flashed red. The swordsmech stood and checked out the tunnels and noticed some strange foot prints. "I found how they escaped. They went to this tunnel and ended up wherever it goes. Cody gasped "that tunnel goes to the evacuation shelter! We better go!" Cody then ran to the tunnel but heatwave stopped him. "I think it's best if you stay here. Drift seams quite dangerous in his current mood and if he's a former 'con that makes him more dangerous. We don't want anyone to get hurt" the humans nod understanding and they watched the Autobots leave through the tunnel.

When the Autobots found ratchet they were attacked by three morbots. Drift took down the biggest one by using deception tactics and slowly ripping apart the robot. When someone Drift cared about got hurt or was endanger deadlock would emerge in him making him quite dangerous. The rescue bots were being out number so Drift spring into action and dismembered the more bots then finished them off. Morocco, being terrified of drift ran away but chase went after him, unfortunately Morocco escaped. Drift un cuffed ratchet and helped him stand. Ratchet smiled at his courtmate "thanks for the save"

The next day, Drift had got a ground bridge to open. Chief had found that the lawsuit thing was all just made up by Madeline and the two were ready to go. The rescue bots said their goodbyes and the two left.
