This is a small short from a long fanfiction I wrote a while back that hasn't been posted yet. Michelle belongs to me and Darkshadow belongs to my friend. I do not own Transformers: Beast Wars, blah blah. It's short...

I never thought I would end up in this situation. But I had taken a fatal blow for my best friend and she was able to escape.

"Michelle, please stay with me."

I look up at Depth Charge with tears in my eyes. It hurt to move; even nodding my head was unbearable.

"Darkshadow…" I whisper painfully, "Is she okay?"

He nodded and I smiled. "She made it out, went to go get help."

"Then all is well."

Quickstrike had taken Darkshadow after Rampage was killed. I was trapped underneath tons of rubble with Depth Charge. The other Maximals, I could hear them trying to dig us out. But I didn't care; I was just worried about my best friend, Jessica.

"I hope she finds true love." I start crying even more, "Depth Charge, how can God be so cruel to someone who doesn't deserve it?"

His optics were dim when he looked at me, "I ask myself the same thing at least five times day. But I know the gods are planning something big and special for her. Everything happens for a reason and good things come to those who wait."

"What happens when we get tired of waiting? Sometimes it just takes way too long…"

"No. Never give up hope. Besides, there are plenty of things you can do while you wait."

I closed my eyes and felt myself drifting into what felt like a restful sleep, yet I could hear everything around me.

'Darkshadow…' I thought, 'Please survive!'

Over the next, what I think were hours, I still felt the pain of the gashes and broken bones from Rampage's attack. I managed to save Darkshadow from most of the damage.

"She's not going to make it." I heard the one known as Rhinox say. But I was determined to live as long as I possibly could so I could continue to protect my friend. "There is nothing we can do. Her ribs are broken and are beyond repairable. Not to mention the gut wounds. She is fading fast, Depth Charge. It's a miracle she has survived for this long!"

It was quiet for a minute then I heard my lover's voice speak up, "There is a way to fix her."

"We won't know what will happen! We've never tried it on humans!"

"Well, now is a good time."

"If her blood cells lose the fight against the nanities and don't fuse with them, she's as good as dead!"

'Please…' Then everything faded out.

I'm not sure how much time had passed when I started coming to. First I heard Rhinox's voice.

"She's conscious! The nanities seem to be fusing with her blood cells perfectly, like they had with Darkshadow.

"J-Jessica?" I managed to get out then felt a hand on my forehead.

"I'm here, 'Chelle." I heard my best friend's voice, "Open your eyes!"

My eyes opened and everything was blurry but slowly coming into focus.

"Guess what! We're immortal!" She squealed a bit.

Rhinox sighed and shook his head, "You can still die, just not as easily." He looked at me, "You and Darkshadow both no longer have the ability to age. When you get hurt the Cybertronian nanities will act faster than your human blood cells could ever-"

"We can regenerate like vampires!"

'Well, this was going to be an interesting life.' I thought, seeing a badass cowboy typed guy walk up and wrap his arms around Jessie's waist. "Who… Quickstrike?" I shook my head, they actually looked really good together, him in his human form!

I looked back when I felt a strong pair of arms around me and smiled when I saw Depth Charge as his human self as well. God only knows the trouble we'll get into now.

"Can we go back to our time period now?"

"Yes."

Oh, the adventures we will have…
