"A Little Light Blurs Inside"
by DragonDancer5150
Ratchet held the mech. It was all he could do. The mech's spark chamber had taken too much damage, and Ratchet just didn't have the tools or any of the life support equipment he needed, not out here on the edge of a battlefield megamiles from the nearest med-bay.
By contrast, his patient fought, spark flickering and guttering in the exposed casing. It was a losing battle, much like the one around him. He should be helping. His friends were out there. But he couldn't abandon the mech dying in his arms.
He sat vigil until the light went out.
