A/N: Okay so this was requested by Creepy-Pasta. Hope you and the rest enjoy my friend. It saved me from some boredom while having writer's block with the other stories. This will go from somewhere in Prime to Robots in Disguise 2015. And a few time skips if I can't really think of anything to add to a part. It will still follow the plot and stuff, just it will be somewhat AU as well. Will be Ratchet/Raf centric.

Ratchet looked down at the small human working on the computer. He had grown close to the young Rafael while the children were there. Especially when the human had almost died of dark Energon. Of course he will never be as close as Bumblebee, but his relationship with the boy was still special. He had practically adopted him in his own way.

"Ratchet I can't seem to figure this sentence out," Raf piped up. He had a bunch of Cybertronian on his computer screen that he got from the main computer. Ratchet bent down and looked at the highlighted words.

"THe High Council," Ratchet read, "is the most extreme group since the Golden Ages of Cybertron."

"What's the High Council?" Raf asked.

"The High Council consisted of many mechs. They made up the caste system that separated all who have different color optics besides blue, certain body frames, and potential use. I was of the mid-higher class since my creators were medics and I became one. I was lucky not to be taken from my home," said Ratchet. "Megatron was taken from his family when he was about 2 Earth years old all because he had red optics and a larger frame. He was sent down to the lower caste and became of a gladiator. He preached against the High Council and that's part of how he met Optimus.

"He was looking in the archives in Iacon, far from Kaon. He wanted to learn more about his enemy so that he could change them. Orion Pax had helped him. They grew close and you know what happens after that. Even the risk of being killed didn't stop them from bonding. The High Council never found out about the rebellious act. Only one member of the High Council survived the attack on them. His name was Shockwave, a scientist and a very passionate mech. He cared for those who lived below his status in the higher caste. He helped many that suffered. The Council found out and made him emotionless and to bend to their will."

"Is Shockwave still alive?" Raf asked.

"It is unknown. Arcee was the last to encounter him. He went down with the spacebridge the last she reported. It is possible that he escaped in time," Ratchet answered. "Now try the next sentence."

"'Til... all are... one," Raf broke down. "Hey that's what Optimus says."

"Excellent work Rafael. I believe that is enough reading for now. You've mastered knowing the letters and other symbols. The rest should be easy with more practice," Ratchet praised. He watched as the glyphs came down and replaced with some research.

Ratchet was hesitant at first to leave Rafael while he went out to retrieve the relic with Wheeljack. Now he was glad he did. Raf had did an excellent job with the virus that will be transferred to Soundwave then their own computer. Sighing in relief as Soundwave left, Ratchet drove off to go find Wheeljack. Satisfied with knowing the wrecker was still alive, he called for a groundbridge back to base.

"Ratchet, it worked!" Raf cried happily.

"Haha this is wonderful Rafael. Soon we will have the whole Iacon database at our disposal. Optimus can decrypt it before the Decepticons can," said Ratchet. Raf spun open the portal again. Ratchet gasped in horror as Bulkhead came flying through. "No."

~~~000

Ratchet had been working for a few hours. He ignored the others completely, even the young boy. When he finally stabilized the former wrecker, he stepped back. He walked to the main part, seeing the others all around the computer console.

"I've managed to stablize him," said Ratchet. "Bulkhead is going to make it."

"What about the rest of the damage?" Arcee asked.

"It will be slow at healing. He took a lot from the battle and the Tox-En," said Ratchet.

Their attention turned to the scraping of metal and quiet foot steps. Wheeljack limped in, getting a scolding from Arcee. The white wrecker went over to Bulkhead, sitting down beside him while Miko climbed onto his chest. Ratchet was about to protest, but Optimus stopped him. Instead the medic went to his room to relax. He didn't notice he had a guest until Raf coughed a bit.

"Ratchet is something wrong? I mean besides Bulkhead," said Raf. The medic picked him up and set him on the berth.

"I am just tired Rafael. This war has gone on for too long. I almost lost Bulkhead twice. I wish for all this to end," said Ratchet, laying back onto his berth and staring up at the ceiling. "If this war ever ends, it will take millions of years to rebuild and repopulate."

"I'm sure this war will be stopped soon," said Raf. "You can't lose hope. That's when bad stuff happens."

Ratchet smiled at the boy. He was so young but knew so much. Oh how he loved this young boy. Raf yawned loudly, rubbing his eyes from under his glasses. Ratchet placed him on his chest, a large servo covering the small body. Both fell asleep quickly with a faint smile. Optimus had came by later for Raf to go home, but didn't disturb the two. They deserved the break.

Raf looked bored while in class. He wanted to go and help some more at the Autobot base. He had been relocated by the government. Jack tapped Raf from behind before passing him a note.

'You doing okay Raf? You seem distracted.'

Raf quickly wrote back.

'I'm fine. Just wishing I wasn't here right now. I already know this stuff and Ratch' still needed help back at base.'

'School is almost over. We'll quickly head out if that'll make you feel better.'

Raf merely nodded. Another hour went by before school ended. The three kids raced through the hallways and outside to their guardians. Bulkhead was still recovering so Bumblebee carpooled Miko. The cool base gave relief from the hot Neveda air. Ratchet tinkered in the medibay while Bulkhead pressed on the lob ball. Miko ran over to help him do his excersizes. Raf wandered over to the lab to watch Ratchet.

"What you doing Ratch'?" Raf asked.

"Nothing much. I'm just tinkering with this Energon converter. If it works properly then we will have an endless supply. It will take solar energy and turn it into Energon," said Ratchet. "Now this is just a prototype. I don't know if it will work, but I dearly hope it does. Our reserves are starting to run low again."

"Can I help?" Raf questioned.

"I wouldn't mind it. Some of these smaller areas are hard to get to," said Ratchet with soft optics. 'He's going to become a very intellegent young man in the years to come.'

It was becoming darker as the sun made it's way down. There was still plenty of light for a quick test. On top of the base, Raf and Ratchet set the machine down with an empty Energon cube nearby. The machine hummed when it was turned on. The solar panel pointed right to the sun's rays. Glowing blue liquid started to fill the cube. Ratchet laughed in his success. They had done it.

"It works!" Raf cheered.

"Indeed it does. Now we can use solar power for fuel. We won't run out unless it breaks. I will install the other solar panels and make some more to increase the amount of Energon made," said Ratchet. He took his invention inside with the cube to test its contents. "Now we just have to make sure that it is safe to consume and use."

A/N: So that's it for now. I would continue but I've got stuff to get done. I have testing tomorrow. Review and tell me how it is so far. I'll get the next chapter up sometime tomorrow when I'm finished.
