The autobots were out on a mission, when they reached a house and heard a mech calling for help.
"Please, anybody. Help me" he kept yelling, until the bots found a way to get to him.
But this was going to take a while. "Can't I just blow it?" Ironhide asked.
"Sure. If you want to kill him" Ratchet stated, fairly annoyed that Ironhide would even think of it.
"What? It was an idea" Ironhide stated, this was pushing Ratchet further.
"Look we have no idea what kind of state he's in" Ratchet stated. He pulled out a tiny spy fly. "We can use this to find out what faction he's from, and in what condition we expect to find him in" Ratchet announced, turning the fly on, and data-bursting it an order.
The fly flew into a small hole in the wall and looked around, until it found what it was looking for. But the mech wasn't happy about it. "What the frag is that?" he snapped.
"It's just a spy fly. It won't hurt you. It just wants to scan your optics, to find out your faction. Then scan the area, as to find out what condition you're in and how we could get in. That's all" Ratchet announced, trying to calm the mech inside.
"Fine" the mech stated, and allowed the spy fly to do it's job. The fly scanned his deep blue optics, then scanned the area and finally found a possible way in.
When the fly got back to Ratchet, he immediately uploaded the information. He data-burst he connection code, and looked at the information. He then turned to Ironhide, and data-burst him a picture of the mechs situation, possible ways in, and possible future situation if the mech was not reached soon. Ironhide cringed at the sight. Ratchet wanted more information, "What's your name?" he asked, but recieved no answer. He yelled out louder to get the mechs attentin. "What's your name?" he yelled.
The mech quickly opened his optics and tried to think. The weight on top of him was finally getting to him. "Um... Starflax sir" Starflax stated, trying his best to stay away, but he was tired and weak.
"Well Starflax, my name is Ratchet, and my partners name is Ironhide. We're going to get you out" Ratchet stated. "Now Ironhide is going to talk to you for a while, ok?" Ratchet asked, hoping that they could get to Starflax before he offlined.
"Yes sir" Flax stated.
"Alright, Starflax. I'm Ironhide, I just want you to talk to me ok" Ironhide announced.
"Yes sir. What about?" Flax asked, unable to think too hard.
"Anything. I'll pick a subject, and you talk about. Alright?" Ironhide asked, quickly thinking of a subject to keep Flax talking. "How did you get here?" he asked.
"I was shipped here after Megatron's forces attacked. You see... I was sparked into a family with two older sisters. I was automatically sparked as an autobot, seeing as though both my parents were autobots. I was brought up as a neutral, and offered the chance to choose a side when I got older. But I wouldn't change to the decepticons... Not after Megatron attacked our town. We were attacked and killed everyone in site. I was able to escape, with the help from my family, and I was shipped to Earth. I tried to hide, but Megatron was... Was keen on finiching what he started. He tracked me here, and attacked me. I couldn't fight back" Flax explained, pain showing in his voice as the memories came flooing back. Starflax never found out what happened to his family.
"It's alright, Megatron won't hurt you anymore. Not while I'm around" Ironhide stated, Starflax just smiled, realising he finally found them. He found the autobots, and they were trying desperately to help him. Starflax coughed and winced as the weight above him became heavier and heavier on his chest and abdomon. "Starflax? You ok?" Ironhide asked.
Starflax winced a little more. "Yeah. Just this weight is starting to really hurt" he explained.
"It's ok. We're going to get you out" Ironhide stated. Then he turned his attention to the medic. "Ratchet. We have to get to him now!" he snapped.
"Really? I hadn't noticed" Ratchet said sacastically. He was still desperately searching for a way in. When finally, hope. He found a door, that appeared to be fragile and broken. he tried to push it, and it shifted, but was locked. He punched it in, and it fell. "Ironhide. Got it, we're in" he yelled.
"Starflax, Ratchet's in. I'm coming around, we'll have you out soon" Ironhide stated, running to catch up to Ratchet.
"Ok" he said, weakly. Starflax could hear the two other mechs as they moved through the house, trying to reach the wounded mech in the middle of, what appeared to be a lounge room. Finally they broke through the last barrier between them and the injuried mech. Starflax was happy to see them. "What took you so long?" he asked jokingly, trying his best to lighten the mood.
Ratchet looked at the weight that Starflax had spoken of earlier. "How long have you been here?" he asked.
"About two earth days" Starflax answered.
"Ratch. How can we move that without hurting him more?" Ironhide asked, pointing at the huge slab of concrete of Starflax's chest and abdomon.
"Carefully. But we can't do it alone. That thing is going to be heavy. Conact Optimus, and get him to bring Prowl, Mirage and Sideswipe with him" Ratchet said, looking at the weapons specialist.
Starflax was listening carefully to their conversation, and almost jumped in surprise at the name 'Optimus'. "Optimus?" he asked, gaining Ratchet and Ironhide's attention. "As in Optimus Prime?" he continued.
"Yes" Ironhide stated.
Starflax closed his optics, and smiled. "I can't believe it. How did he survive?" he asked himself, loud enough for the others to hear.
"You know Optimus?" Ratchet asked.
Starflax opened his optics, and looked up at the two mechs in front of him. "I should... He's my father" he stated.
