Ratchet hung from the ceiling of a dark room he woke up in. When he woke up, he was soar in more then one area of his body. The pain was there, just a little numb in his legs and arms. His white painted chassis was scratched to where it was not just white, but grey and extremely dark blue. Now that he remembered it, he was here because...

Ratchet laid against a rock wall as he tried to reboot his data pad as it failed to turn on. It was an old data pad he found in storage so he decided that he might as well try to reboot the content within the pad. He watched his scout member Bulkhead walk to the front of the cave and looked around for anything. Right now he and Bulkhead had been sent to a nearby mine area to guard it until Optimus got here or sent a Ground Bridge to pick them up

Right now, Bulkhead sighed and groaned, "Can they hurry up and show their hides already

Ratchet looked at Bulkhead from the cave, "It's only been an hour and a half, Bulkhead. Optimus and Megatron usually fight for about 45 minutes, 40 at best and their an hour a way. Back and to."

Bulkhead groaned again as he realized Ratchet was right. He sulked a little while standing outside the cave.

"It's even sundown!" Bulkhead griped.

"Why are you so eager to leave?" Ratchet asked as the data pad started to cooperate with him.

"Well, Miko and Rafeal got Jack and their parents to agree to stay the night. Since they think June has them and not us, we have to take them back early the next morning. I want to spend time with Miko before she leaves," Bulkhead said as he turned slightly.

"And I would like to spend my afternoon at the Ground Bridge controls, so we both have something to lose!" Ratchet said as he finally got the data pad to load.

"Come on Ratchet!" Bulkhead said to the medic, "Don't you think Rafeal wants to see you? Don't you think the humans want to spend time with you?"

Ratchet just looked down and sighed, "No one does."

Bulkhead had a start with that, "But, Ratch, why do you think Rafeal wants to see you everyday?"

"I'm his teacher, Rafeal loves to learn-"

"No!" Bulkhead said and lowered his brows, "The humans love you Ratchet! Miko tries to get your attention because she-"

"Please, Bulhead," Ratchet said as he leaned back and ignored the wrecker, "Just... go back to your post."

Bulkhead watched for any signs of emotion inside Ratchet's optics but found them cut off. Turning around, Bulkhead only told himself he made it worse with prying into the medic.

After half an hour more of silence and a jerk data pad not working, a Ground Bridge opened just a few feet away from the caves mouth. Bulkhead chuckled as he motioned Ratchet to hurry up.

"Come on! We got friends to see!" Bulkhead said as he waited for Ratchet to go in front of him.

Ratchet smiled at the Ground Bridge for a few seconds before he stopped and frowned. Something wasn't right, Optimus usually comm linked before he sent a Ground Bridge to pick anyone up so they could prepare to return home feeling confident they weren't going into the enemies ship. That's probably was what was on the other side.

Ratchet stopped Bulkhead before they got into the green portal.

"What's wrong, Ratch?" Bulkhead said, "We have to get home."

"Something's not right," Ratchet said as he glared at the portal, "It's not an Autobot Ground Bridge, Bulkhead."

"How can you know-?" Bulkhead was cut off by sudden screaming.

As the both turned to the portal, Bumblebee came flying out covered in scratches and dents. Bulkhead gasp as Bumblebee landed right in front of them, Ratchet staring at Bumblebee in shock.

"Bee!" Bulkhead yelled as he rushed forward for the scouts aid.

As Ratchet reached the yellow scout, he saw he was offline in stasis, he wanted to turn around and tell Bulkhead to move the scout into the cave so they had protection but soon another cry ran over their audios as Breakdown came running through. Ratchet quickly rolled himself and Bumblebee out of the way as Bulkhead drew his wrecking ball out and met Breakdown head on.

As Ratchet and Bumblebee stopped rolling, he looked up to see Autobot and Decepticon a like leak out like rats to a picnic. After Breakdown came Optimus and Megatron, clashing swords and shooting bullets like there was something they were protecting. Next came Starscream and Soundwave fighting Arcee and Wheeljack (Wheeljack wanted a rematch with Soundwave more then Starscream). And so on.

Finally Ratchet had gathered enough stamina to move the injured scout just a little out of the way of the fighting. He got out his torch and started to fix the scout.

He soon found a shadow hovering over him as the fighting seemed to diminish a little. Turning around quickly, he found Soundwave hovering just on top of him with his tentacles sparking with electricity. Next thing he knew was nothing.

Soundwave! Ratchet growled, he had been bested by Soundwave! And the irony was just a day or so ago, he had given Soundwave the slip somehow after uploading the virus to Laserbeak. The reason that he and Bulkhead were here was because they were left over from the mission, Bulkhead had been injured by Hardshell and Ratchet was told to stay with the green wrecker.

He heard a groaning from something in front of him and realized that it was a door. As the light flooded within the room, three figures stepped into the dark room. He noticed one had wingsthat stood over the frame and that made the figure seem bigger, obviously Starscream. One had curled hide legs and a sharp and pointy helm with long paper disk forearms, Soundwave. And the front one stood out the most, a large and sharp form stood over the others and himself as a fushion cannon laid on its arm, it's helm the shape of a bucket.

Megatron.

The Decepticon's top three lieutenants were standing in front of him, glaring daggers at the colorful framed bot hanging from their ceiling.

"Master, the Vehicons have sedated the medic to were he can not move his legs or arms," Starscream hissed, "As you commanded."

Megatron hummed, "Yes, I noticed he isn't struggling. His legs dangle like a pathetic human doll."

"Do you mind not making fun of me," Ratchet snarled, "I was already captured laughably easy while tending to Bumblebee- Bumblebee! What have you done to him?!"

Megatron laughed as Soundwave showed an image of Bumblebee still unconscious, laying on Knock Out's medical berth with support tubes in his wrist and chest.

"You see medic, we are no push overs," Starscream said as he flexed his claws, "We know better then to take just one prisoner."

Ratchet growled at the SiC and communications officer, "You even lay a digit on Bumblebee's frame and I swear I will break out of these cuffs and reconstruct you all into Cybertronian-!"

A sudden strike made the medic shut up so he didn't cry out in pain. He looked down to see Megatron's talons were curled in a fist around his tank.

"You have a sharp glossa for a medic in such a vulnerable position," Megatron said as he brought himself close to the medics face, "I suggest you give us the answers we want immediately, Doctor."

Ratchet glared right into Megatron's optics and ground, "I will never utter a word about the Autobots."

"It seems you don't care about that young scout in our care," Megatron laughed when Ratchet's optics widen, "Have you really forgotten your not our only prisoner we have on our ship?"

Ratchet only growled again at the smug tone Megatron had on his face. Megatron was close enough to were if he lunged his head forward, he would be able to headbutt him.

Megatron leaned forward just a little more and Ratchet could feel his discomfort growing. He made a sound in the back of his throat as Megatron smirked evilly in his face, he started to panic and looked around to see Starscream and Soundwave were gone and the door was shut tight.

He was stuck with Megatron and whatever he had planned for him...

Primus, he could use Optimus right now...
