chapter 1
Hot shot and Side swipe were very close friends as close as brothers. They hung out together. Side swipe hoped to be as good as Hot shot some day. Just like Hot shot said he has to start with himself not anyone else.
Side swipe and Hot shot had a connection they were a few years apart. Hot shot was two years older than Side swipe. Hot shot was 19 and Side swipe was 17 making Side swipe the youngest one there.
They did a lot of things together. Hot shot help Side swipe with his hand to hand combat like Scavenger helped him. He also helps Side swipe with his shooting. Side swipe told him he was pretty lousy shot.
Blurr had to agree.
Sometimes the two found time relax and have fun. The relaxing and fun time was spent watching TV, arm wrestling, racing and sitting by the lake.
Side swipe also found time to practice hi amazing code breaking skills which impressed Hot shot.
"You are pretty good at that." Hot shot said.
"Thanks I can show you how." Side swipe said.
"That would be nice maybe you should." Hot shot said with a smile.
Today Hot shot and Side swipe were driving on a forest road. They had sometime off so they decided to drive on a forest road and see what there was to see in the forest. "It sure is beautiful out here." Side swipe said.
"Yes earth sure is a beautiful planet." Hot shot said. "The most beautiful on I have ever seen." he said.
"I agree with you." Side swipe said.
"Okay let's walk from here the trees are starting to get dense." Hot shot said.
"Alright." Side swipe said.
The two of them transformed and walked around. They saw many animals. "Look at all the animals." Side swipe said.
"Yes there sure are a lot of them." Hot shot said with a smile.
The animals didn't seem to pay them any mind.
Something caught Side swipe's eye. There was a family of deer. A mother and her two fawns. The first fawn was on his feet. The second one was trying to stand up. Hot shot and Side swipe watched quietly as the fawn stood up and walked unsteadily and followed his mother and brother.
"That was amazing." Side swipe said.
"I know," Hot shot said.
"Bro this the best way to spend some of time." Side swipe said.
"I agree with you Side swipe." Hot shot said.
They continued through the forest. They didn't know a Decepticon was about to ambush them. Thrust saw the two of them were outside the safety of their base.
"Perfect opportunity for an attack!" Thrust said. "This be like shooting fish in a barrel." he said.
Side swipe was having good time not expecting the attack. Thrust fired on Side swipe. Side swipe got hit by the blast and fell and rolled into a tree.
"Argh!" Side swipe cried out.
"Side swipe!" Hot shot shouted and ran to him. Side swipe was hurt really bad.
Hot shot saw Thrust up in the sky]and started to fire again. Side swipe got hit a few more times he was crying out in pain.
Thrust swooped around and prepared for attack again.
Hot shot feeling the rage boil to the back of his throat he didn't want to loose Side swipe he was like his little brother.
"You rat!" Hot shot yelled and fired at him.
"I better get of here!" Thrust said.
Hot shot turned and went to Side swipe and put away his gun. "Side swipe come on answer me." Hot shot said holding him.
"Bro?" Side swipe said. He sounded weak.
"Yes it's me." Hot shot said.
Side swipe tried to get up. "Don't move, you have been badly injured." Hot shot said.
So Side swipe stayed still. He was in a lot of pain. Side swipe was bleeding from several blaster wounds.
Hot shot could tell those were probably just some injuries Side swipe obtained he probably had several more.
Hot shot knew how to give first aid. Hot shot got out the first aid kit Red alert gave him for his birthday last year. He wrapped bandages on Side swipe's wounds and applied pressure to stop the bleeding.
Once that was taken care off Hot shot called the base telling them they need to be warped back to the base. He told them Side swipe had been injured in a sneak attack from Thrust.
Hot shot carefully picked up Side swipe who screamed in pain. "Sorry." Hot shot said.
"It's okay." Side swipe said.
They were warped to the base. Red alert took a look and saw how bad Side swipe's condition was. "Let's get him to the medical bay." Red alert said.
Hot shot carried Side swipe there and placed him on the medical bed. Red alert made him leave so he could work. Hot shot was really worried.
"It's not your fault Hot shot neither of you knew that Thrust was there and going to attack." Optimus said.
"I should have kept an eye out." Hot shot said.
"Don't worry Hot shot Red alert is treating Side swipe right now." Scavenger said.
Red alert came out. "I need type A + energon now!" He said.
"Why?" Blurr asked.
"Side swipe has a lost a lot of it and needs a transfusion pronto!" Red alert said.
Hot shot knew he was type A +. "I have the energon type you need. " Hot shot said.
"Good come with me." Red alert said.
Jetfire was the same type too and followed.
Red alert drew a decent amount from both of them. "Just drink the tech-orange juice and eat the tech-cheese crackers so you don't feel faint." Red alert said.
After that Hot shot and Jetfire left.
Hot shot was outside the med-bay he looked so worried.
Red alert was worried too. Side swipe was badly damaged. "Come on kid, you can make it. Side swipe I won't let you give up you have a whole life a head of you!" Red alert said.
Red alert knew Side swipe was young and he couldn't lose a young patient. He continued treating Side swipe.
Side swipe groaned and his spark rate went down. Red alert turned on defibrillator. "1, 2, 3 Clear," Red alert said. Red alert turned up the power. "1, 2, 3, clear!" he said.
Hot shot was about to run in there but Optimus held him back.
Side swipe's spark rate and electro-pulse stabilized.
Hot shot saw what happened and felt relieved.
Red alert finished the repairs and managed to get Side swipe stabilized. Red alert attached him to several machines he knew he had to keep an eye on Side swipe due having to put him in intensive care.
Poor kid. Red alert said.
Red alert came out. "So how is he?" Hot shot asked.
"He's stable right now. But I must keep an eye on him." Red alert said. "Hot shot you giving him first aid prevent him from losing a life threatening amount of energon and prevent even worse injuries. Your quick think probably helped save his life." Red alert said.
"Hot shot you should be proud." Scavenger said.
The others agreed.
"Can I see him?" Hot shot asked.
"Sure, but he's asleep so be careful not to disturb him." Red alert said.
"Okay,' Hot shot said.
Hot shot went in and sat at Side swipe's bedside.
Red alert saw the worry written across Hot shot's face.
Hot shot decided to stay by Side swipe until he woke up.
Red alert allowed it because it might be a while.
