Author's note: Here's the next chapter! =D

Sparknight belongs to Mrs. Ukitake

Everyone's optics widened, Ratchet was sparked "Ratchet you are to stay here at base, we can't risk the Deceptions killing you and the Sparkling in battle" Optimus said after he overcame his shock.

The Mecic nodded "First Aid I need to break the news to Rebecca could you call her in here please?" he asked

'Aid nodded and opened his com-link to Rebecca.

Rebecca at home when she received a call from First Aid, she picked up her phone "Hey 'Aid" she greeted.

"Hello Rebecca" First Aid replied "could you come to the Autobot base? There's something you need to know"

The nineteen year old nodded "Sure, I'll be there in about ten minutes" she replied.

"Ok see you soon" 'Aid replied then closed his com-link and looked at the others "she'll be here in about ten minutes"

"Thanks 'Aid" Ratchet replied, he leaned against Optimus trying not to cry again.

The Autobots waited for Rebecca to arrive.

At the Deception base Sparknight walked into the command centre when she heard Megatron through their bond bragging about having his Weapons Specialist back "Megs love you're bragging to much again" she said her wings vibrating with her irritation.

Megatron smirked at his Bondmate "I disserve to brag sweet spark" he replied "I have my First Lieutenant back at my side again, we'll never lose a battle again with his knowledge of Weaponry and the battlefield"

'Spark rolled her optics "Where is Ironhide anyway?" she asked.

"He'll be here momentarily" the Warlord replied.

Sparknight sighed and said "I'm going to the shooting range, would you like to join me love?" she asked.

"No I'll wait here" Megatron replied "Ironhide will be here soon"

'Spark nodded then walked out the command centre.

At the Autobot base Rebecca soon arrived and headed to the Medical Bay, Ratchet looked up when she entered "Thanks for coming Rebecca" he said trying not to let the sadness cloud his voice.

Rebecca nodded "It's ok" she replied.

The Medic lifted her to the worktop and sighed "Becky there's something you need to know" he said "and it's to do with 'Hide"

The nineteen year old was concerned, Ironhide was her Guardian but she considered him a father "What's wrong with him?" she asked.

Ratchet sighed "Two days ago 'Hide went out on a mission and got captured by the Deceptions" he explained "I can't feel him anymore"

"Y'mean he's..?" Rebecca asked trailing off at the end.

The medic sighed and nodded "And I'm Sparked" he added.

Rebecca's eyes widened, but there was no mistaking the tears that were forming in her eyes.

"Please don't cry Becky, he wouldn't want that" Ratchet said softly.

The nineteen year old looked down "I know" she whispered.

The Medic lifted her to his chest, he like his Bondmate considered Rebecca a daughter "The best we can do is make sure this Sparkling is safe" he said softly "'Hide would want us to do that"

Rebecca nodded a little "I know he would" she replied quietly.

At the Decepticon base all the Decepticons were gathered in the command centre.

Megatron smirked "Decepticons" he said "we have a new second-in-command, and I'm sure you'll know him well"

The Decepticons were both puzzled but excited at the same time.

"Soundwave! Bring him out!" the Warlord called.

A metal door slid open and Soundwave walked out first, then behind him Ironhide walked out. He stood beside Megatron and crossed his arms over his chest.

"What's that fragger doing here, it's because of him I lost Thundercracker and Skywarp!" An angry Starscream snarled.

Sparknight snuck up on the Seeker and smacked the back of his helm "Show some respect, he is your new second-in-command!" she snapped

"But I was Second-in-command" Starscream whined "not that rust bucket!"

Ironhide growled.

Megatron pinned Starscream to the wall "You will respect him Starscream" he snarled "he is our second-in-command!"

The Seeker gulped "Y-yes master" he replied.

The Warlord let him go then walked back over to Ironhide "So Ironhide" he said "what do you remember?"

'Hide looked at him "That you're my leader" he replied "and I'm second-in-command"

"He only remembers his time as a Decepticon" Soundwave added "I didn't want him completely mindless"

"Good job Soundwave" Megatron replied with a smirk.

Sparknight smirked then her energy dropped suddenly, her optics flickered showing her low energy "Megs I don't feel so good" she said and collapsed to her knees.

Megatron went over and knelt down beside her "What's wrong sweet spark?" he asked.

"I-I don't know" 'Spark replied "I don't feel so good"

"Knockout!" the Warlord called.

Knockout came over and knelt down beside her, he did a scan on her.

"What's wrong with her?" Megatron asked.

The red mech smirked and looked up at his leader "Ironhide being back isn't the only good thing that has happened today" he said.

The Warlord growled "Stop being cryptic Medic" he snarled.

"Uh...well my Lord she's Sparked" Knockout said fearfully.
