"No you don't Sideways, you aren't going to do anything to him!" said Megatron running forward.
"Or what, you'll kill me?" asked Sideways putting the knife up to Rodimus's back.
"I might just do that," said Megatron.
Crookedtooth hit Megatron with an Energon bomb. Megatron flew back into the wall, but got back up to strike again. He knocked Crookedtooth out and walked toward Sideways.
"I wouldn't do it Megatron, or else your buddy here will get it," warned Sideways putting the knife into Rodimus's back. Megatron hit Sideways, but half of the blade was already in Rodimus.
"Hold on Rodimus, I will get you out of here once I take care of this Neutral," said Megatron as he kept hitting Sideways until he was out cold.
Megatron carefully took Rodimus outside. He went into an alley to hide them. He leaned Rodimus against a wall and left. Megatron contacted Soundwave to groundbridge Ratchet to his position. The medic came through the blue-green portal.
"What happened? Are you injured, because I have a patient to get back to," said Ratchet running over to Megatron.
"No I am fine, but Rodimus isn't," said Megatron leading Ratchet to where Rodimus was.
Rodimus was slowly breathing. He saw Ratchet going over to him with Megatron. Ratchet leaned Rodimus forward to examine his wound.
"It doesn't look good," said Ratchet looking at the wound.
"I understand, you fix him up while I keep watch incase those Neutrals come back," said Megatron guarding the entry way of the alley. It took fourteen minutes before Ratchet called for Megatron.
"I have been able to stabilize his condition, but that won't last for long," said Ratchet. "I need to get him back to base to get that scythe knife out of his back."
Megatron had Soundwave send another groundbridge. Both of them carefully picked up Rodimus and brought him back to base. They put him in a sitting position on a table. Red Alert got a knife and handed in to Ratchet. He tried to cut the knife out, but that only made it worse.
"There is only one way to get that scythe knife out, and the only ones who have it are the Neutrals," said Ratchet.
"No, there is another way," said Blackbeards. "That is the treasure. It can make anything happen except for bringing back the dead of course."
"But that's a problem, we don't have the treasure," said Bellybon.
"You don't, but I do. Back at my old HQ, there is still some of it," said Megatron.
He transformed and left. In 40 minutes he was back with his share of the treasure. Blackbeards took a coin and said some ancient pirate language. The coin disappeared when the scythe knife was out. Ratchet took Rodimus to the far end of the room to the Emergency Area to be fixed. Rodimus tried not to show the pain from the heat of the fire of his back and neck. After wielding the wounds close, Ratchet brought Rodimus back to the table to rest.
"How did you do that?" asked Ratchet bending down to see Blackbeards.
"This treasure is magical. You say what you want done in the ancient pirate language, and it will do that of which you command," said Blackbeards.
"Wheelie," said Rodimus.
"Easy Rodimus, Wheelie isn't here right now. He went out looking for you after that Neutral attacked," said Mainframe.
"I need Wheelie to return back to base. I don't want my friend to be injured," said Rodimus.
"Ok, Mainframe and I will go out to get him," said Bulkhead.
He and Mainframe transformed and went out looking for Wheelie. They found him at Optimus Prime's grave looking at the tracks made by Sideways.
"Wheelie, come back to base with us," said Mainframe.
"Not until I have found what I came looking for so you can just walk out the door home," said Wheelie.
"Lad, he is back at base. Megatron took him there," said Bulkhead. "Come along now, he needs you."
When they got back to Autobot Meeting Hall, Rodimus kept muttering for Wheelie.
"No need fear, Wheelie is here," said Wheelie.
"Good you're back," said Rodimus.
"Why Rodimus?" asked Wheelie.
"I feel that the Neutrals will be coming and I didn't want you to get harmed if you ran into them," said Rodimus. Wheelie stayed next to Rodimus.
"Wheelie, let's go find that Neutral that you were following," said Bulkhead.
Back at Neutral HQ, Crookedtooth tended to Sideways. He woke up shortly to see the wizar
"Where is Rodimus?" asked Sideways.
"Megatron took him back to Autobot Meeting Hall," said Crookedtooth.
"My friend, I have a plan to get our leader. We need to lure him to us; make him feel like a leader," said Sideways getting up. He went outside and waited there for his new leader.
