Violetnight had been flying for a joor, and she had a sinking feeling that she wasn't going to make it. She had been flying supersonic for the majority of the journey, but it was more taxing on her systems than she had originally thought. As she passed over the outskirts of Iacon, she screamed in agony as a ghost pain from the moment when all three of her bonds were broken struck her spark, and her thrusters failed. As she tumbled through the air, all she could think of were her ex-quadrinemates.

The goofy, slightly insane Skywarp.

The strong, silent, yet compassionate Thundercracker.

The protective, amibitious, yet loving Starscream.

Or, at least they used to be.

She franticly activated her transfomation protocols, and her starved systems sluggishly complied. In her bipedal form again, she fixed her optics on the ground she was plummeting toward. Her wings drooping and body nearly limp, she had one last thought before he hit the ground.

Look what you've done, Star.


Ratchet's helm jerked up as a crash shook the office around him. Fearing for the worst, he jumped to his pedes and dashed outside. His his surprise and relief, however, there was no smoke, fire, or trace of the bomb he had been expecting. Just curious bots looking around for the cause of the crash, much like Ratchet himself. Not seeing anything, he started back inside.

"Doctor Ratchet!" A young voice called out, and he spun on his heel, noting the urgency in the mech's tone. He spotted one of his younger patients, a black mech in his 5th frame by the name of Stealthshot, running towards him.

"Yes, Stealthshot?" He asked calmly.

"It's the Vosian Princess, Violetnight! It looks really bad, and she won't online." He explained in a rush, refering to the source of the crash. Ratchet nodded and stood quickly from the kneeling position he had adopted while listening to Stealthshot. The young mech took off toward the neighborhood plaza, Ratchet close behind. The sight that met him was one that he would never, could never forget.


(A/N) Hey! So I know it's short, but the next two chapters are already written and they're each 1,000+ words. So wait in anticipation. :) And I know I could reply to reviews via the PMing system, but I think it's easier to just reply to them all at once at the bottom of each chapter. So yeah. Not that two reviews is a heck of a lot of reviews, but it's better than I expected for 12 hours. So here.

Rose's. Wings- Thanks! I loved TF: Exodus, so viola. :) And about Reality Check, I wouldn't even bother. I'm seriously contemplating deleting it and rewriting it, because I'm really not happy with how it's turning out. Sorreh... I just hate it... I'll prbably rewrite it when I'm done with this one... So yup, everybot's favorite ornery medic is mostly a politician. Fun. It almost makes me pity the dimwitted mechs he has to work with... Almost. :) So thanks, hope you like it!

SemperFi97- Thanks! Hope ya like this one!
