A little story about Drift and his students.
chapter 1
Drift cared about his students Slipstream and Jetstorm very much. Drift kept them safe. He always tried to make sure no harm would come to them. Deep down to him they felt like his own children. Drift had never married and he had been alone for a long time after the circle of light was destroyed and he met Slipstream and Jetstorm two young minicons who needed someone to turn to.
They were with a bot Drift knew his name was Shadow raker. So Drift took them in and rehabilitated them. They became his students and began to stay with him.
Drift and his students joined Bumblebee and his team. They had been there for a while. They stopped Megatronus, Decepticon island and Starscream. Now they were dealing with the Stunticons.
Today they were training. But today something was about to happen which will change Drift's and his students' lives forever.
"I am picking up a Decepticon signal." Fixit said.
"Okay team let's rev up and roll out." Bumblebee said.
They found the Decepticon. He looked like an earth lion. "Fixit the Decepticon looks like an earth lion." Bumblebee said.
"Okay his name Daggerclaw. A Decepticon thug put on the alchemor for several assaults. Even beating a high council member half to death. He is also responsible for the deaths of several minicons. " Fixit said.
"Noted." Bumblebee said.
"Students be careful." Drift said.
"Yes teacher." they said.
Then fight ensued. Suddenly Daggerclaw grabbed Jetstorm and Slipstream. "No one follow me if not these two minicons will pay the price." he said and ran off with the minicons.
"If my students are harmed. Daggerclaw will not hide from my wrath!" Drift said.
"Calm down Drift we'll save them." Bumblebee said.
At the scrapyard. Fixit was tracking the fugitive signal and Jetstorm's and Slipstream's signals.
"If I learned anything about hostage situations and kidnapping sometimes the perp wants something." Strongarm said.
"I heard that kidnappers sometimes kill their victims." Side swipe said.
"If anything bad happens to my students Daggerclaw will feel my fury." Drift said.
Meanwhile in an old abandoned barn Slipstream and Jetstorm were thrown roughly to the ground. "I hate buzzsaw minicons you two are going to get it I won't let you destroy anything like a group of you and to my ship and my best friend."
"But you said if you were followed you'd hurt us." Jetstorm said.
"I lied I was going to hurt you anyway like I said I hate buzzsaw minicons." Daggerclaw said.
Then Daggerclaw kicked them into the wall. Their vision blacked out and came back on fuzzy the clear. They have been kicked in combat but no one had ever kicked them like that. Then Daggerclaw punched them in the face denting them. Jetstorm looked at Slipstream they knew they had to fight back. Once they got up and grabbed their weapons Daggerclaw knocked them down slashed at them with his claws. Daggerclaw threw their weapons far from their reach.
Jetstorm and Slipstream knew they were in trouble. They saw the look in Daggerclaw's optics they read hatred and evil.
"Can you tell us about the minicons he killed." Strongarm asked.
"Let's see all the records say they were all buzzsaw minicons but no one quite knows why he did it." Fixit said.
Now Drift was really worried they had to find his students and fast.
"I have located the minicons signals they are i an old abandoned barn near here." Fixit said.
"Contact Optimus tell him we may need Ratchet just in case we find Slipstream and Jetstorm in bad condition." Bumblebee said.
Fixit nodded and called Optimus.
Bumblebee and his team set off to rescue Slipstream and Jetstorm.
Slipstream and Jetstorm cried out as a new wave of pain went through their bodies. They were hurt really bad. They had lost a lot of energon. They couldn't see straight. Then the sound of coming cars was heard. Then the bee team broke through. They managed to catch Daggerclaw. Drift saw his students all battered up.
"Jetstorm, Slipstream answer me." Drift said.
"Master Drift?" They said. Their voices were hardly a whisper. It took almost all their strength to speak.
"Everything hurts." Jetstorm said.
"Can we go back to the scrapyard?' Slipstream asked.
"Sure that is where we are going but you two are going into ships medical bay your hurt really bad." Drift said and picked up his students as gently as he could. Both of them screamed in pain and started to sob into Drift's chest.
Once at the scrapyard they found Ratchet waiting for them. "Put them on the stretchers." Ratchet said.
Everyone was waiting outside. Drift was pacing he was so nervous. He was also very tired. "Drift can you calm down? You're making us nervous." Strongarm said.
"Jetstorm and Slipstream better be okay they have to be." Side swipe said.
"I hope they will be alright." Grimlock said.
"I hope we got there in time." Bumblebee said.
"We all just have to wait until Ratchet tell us the news when he is finished." Optimus said.
Five hours later Ratchet came out. Drift saw him he held his breath and waited for the bad news. "They are going to be alright I fixed all the major internal damage such damage to their main systems and internal bleeding I also welded their cuts. They're both stable they should be alright." Ratchet said.
Drift let out the breath he had been holding. "But," Ratchet said. Drift looked at him. "There is some neural damage in their legs I have to do the surgery later to fix them because I already did a lot. This surgery is going to be very delicate I will need Fixit's help to get in the real small places because if I'm not careful Jetstorm and Slipstream could have scars for the rest of their lives or they'll never walk again." Ratchet said.
Drift gasped his students unable to walk for the rest of their lives. "Well the important thing is they are both alive." Bumblebee said. Drift had to agree.
"Can I see them?" Drift asked.
"They're sleeping," Ratchet said.
"Can you let him Ratchet Drift's been so worried." Strongarm said.
"Yeah and we pretty worried too." Side swipe said.
"Yeah we want to see how they are doing." Grimlock said.
"Alright but be careful not to disturb them." Ratchet said. Everyone nodded and followed Ratchet.
"So how long are you staying?" Russell asked Ratchet.
"I don't like being to far from my patients in cases like this." Ratchet said. "So I will stay here until they recover." Ratchet said. They arrived at a door. "They're in here." Ratchet said.
Drift saw his two students fast asleep from the surgeries anesthetic. "They won't wake for awhile." Ratchet said.
"I would like to stay with them for awhile." Drift said.
"You can stay with them if you want to Drift their your minicon partners." Ratchet said.
"Thank you." Drift said.
After a few hours everyone but Drift left. Ratchet got a chair for Drift to sit in and a roll away bed for him to sleep in.
That night Drift sat by his students bedsides. Keeping an eye on them as they slept and soon Drift dozed off.
