Sunstreaker hissed at the seeker he had pinned to the ground. Skywarp tried to push the enraged mech off him but failed miserably. Thundercracker had been knocked out by the autobot tactician before he too had been offlined. Starscream was nowhere to be seen not that the yellow warrior cared; all he wanted was the energon from the teleporter's fuel lines running down his armour. Skywarp knew he couldn't hold out much longer, his cockpit had been smashed in, disabling his teleportation systems and severing many fuel lines. Sunstreaker hissed again as the seeker tried to speak.

"Mercy…Mercy please!" he choked tasting the energon in his mouth as the 'bot beat him to scrap.

"Why should I grant you mercy scum" Sunstreaker's optics burned bright as the seeker tried to teleport, flickering in and out of existence but the efforts were wasted. "You murdered my brother! You don't deserve mercy!" he snarled and delivered a finishing blow. The warrior still held the unconscious seeker to the ground, feeling satisfied.

"Remove your hands from Skywarp autobot" that audio grating voice made Sunny jump and spin round. Starscream stood proud, wings hitched up into an unnatural angle, null-rays fired up and aimed at both Prowl and Sunstreaker. "If you kill him, you are no better than he is"

"What do you know of morels Starscream? You don't know how it feels to loose a brother" the warrior growled, his anger deepened when the Air Commander laughed.

"You have no idea autobot, so remove your hands from my brother" the tri-coloured seeker walked over to the fallen Thundercracker and started to check his systems, Sunstreaker watched him carefully. "Your lucky, my other brother will be alright, he's only stunned." He said at last "Now, where was I? o yes I was just about to destroy you! You'll see your stupid twin soon!" Sunstreaker refused to let the horror he felt show on his face. How could I leave Mirage alone again? He thought, offlining his optics so he didn't have to see his demise. He waited for a few breems before shrieks of rage found his audios. Sunny quickly onlined his optics, the sight that greeted him made him smiled in satisfaction. Starscream was wrestling with the thin air, but it wasn't air it was his beautiful noble, coming to his rescue. A hand gripped his arm and pulled him up. Sunny came face to visor with Jazz.

"Hey man don't worry, Raj knows how to look after himself" a scream stopped them both and their heads snapped towards their comrade, Starscream had been thrown on the floor and was now patching up Skywarp. The scream had come from Thundercracker, who was now perched mid-air, probably on Mirage's back. Jazz raised his blaster aiming to shoot a hole in one of the blue seekers wings, suddenly a blue hand gripped his arm, and confused Jazz gazed into the optics of the decepticon SIC. A powerful pleading was foreign in the blood.

"Please, I need Thundercracker to help me get Skywarp back to the base, please he will die otherwise!" Starscream cried, Jazz lowered his weapon. He hadn't ever seen this side of the unstable seeker, which meant something was very badly wrong. The saboteur peered down at the prone body of Skywarp, the cockpit smashed- viciously sparking-one wing torn, the other completely missing and dents and scraps covered the rest of his body, the worst bit was the pool of Energon he was lying in.

"You can go, I'm sorry for putting your brother in this sate." Jazz was totally shocked at Sunstreaker, since when did he ever apologise for beating a decepticon? Hang on did he just say `brother`? He thought to himself quickly. "I hope you can find it in your spark to forgive me."

"Do not fret autobot, this is war and we are enemies, casualties happen but Sky should be alright as long as we stay with him." Starscream answered, slowly picking up Skywarp's legs "T.C.! forget the autobots! We need to get Sky back!" hearing his name the sonic seeker lept off the spy's back and transformed into jet mode. Starscream gingerly placed the teleporter on his wingmates back before transforming himself. The autobots watched as the jets took off.

"What was that for Sunny! Ya just let them go!" the TIC cried angrily.

"You saw the state 'Warp was in! They were going to lose him! No one deserves to lose a brother! I know!" Sunny hissed back, glaring at the Porsche. Mirage made a coughing sound with his vocaliser to interrupt the moment.

"Come on we should report to Ratchet." He said, supporting a groggy Prowl.

The two seekers watched over their wingmate. They were the only ones in the Med-Bay, Hook had been called out after painstakingly rewiring the delicate circuitry in Skywarp's cockpit, both had been told to keep an optic on the teleporter just in case his systems rejected the repairs. Hook wouldn't admit it but he did care about the bots he repaired and fought with but the command trine knew it, the amount of times he had to fix Starscream after Megatron slagged him and let the worried seekers stay by his side. Thundercracker shuddered when he thought about the autobot medic nicked-named 'the hatchet', what would he have done in this position? It didn't bare thinking about. Starscream checked the monitors, noting down any changes.

"How is he?" Thundercracker asked his brother. Starscream shook his head.

"Nothings different, hes stable but-" he was cut off by the comm. Link flaring into life. The air commander growled when he recognised the frequency.

//what Megatron!// he snarled down the comm.,

//Starscream, Thundercracker, report to the command deck at once!//

//and leave Skywarp? No chance!// Starscream hissed

//do not disobey me or you will be punished//

//how dare y-//

//we'll be there// Thundercracker cut Starscream off. The link went dead and the two brothers glared at each other before the blue seeker just shrugged and walked out.

"Sunstreaker sit still!" Ratchet was at the end of his patience with the constantly fidgeting warrior, "your behaving like a fragging sparkling!"

"I want to see Mirage! Is he ok?" Ratchet brought the wrench he was holding down on to Sunny's helm. Mirage, Prowl and Sunstreaker were brought into the Med-Bay a joor ago, Prowl had been released seeming as he had only hit his head but was under strict orders not to work, though he probably was back in his office right now. Mirage had some internal damage, that by the looks of things was going to take a while for it to heal, and then there was Sunstreaker, who only had a few scratches and dents that could of waited, but the twin was driving the medic insane with constant questions about what he was doing.

"Shut up and sit still!" this time the yellow bot listened and sat still. The CMO huffed as he continued banging out dents.

"I can't believe that slagger! Demand we turn up for a meeting then turn up late himself!" Starscream was fuming, as was Thundercracker, the meeting was over their incompetence and saying they will be punished to make sure it would never happen again, though they were never given the punishment, just dismissed. Both seekers now were making they're way back to the Med-Bay. Thundercracker was really more concerned about why the medical wing of the base was in total darkness; Hook always made sure it was lit. He shook off the feeling that something was wrong; the paranoia would just waste precious energy.

"T.C., why is no one around? I mean there's no medics, no bots, nobody!" the blue seeker could hear the worry in his trine leaders voice. So he sensed it to. The door to the Med-Bay was wide open, they had left it closed, the wingmates walked in tripping over various items on the floor. The place was trashed. They exchanged worried looks and started search for Skywarp.

They found him.

Dead.

"Thunder! Skywarps over here!" The blue seeker flew over to where Starscream was, he was sobbing. "He's dead!" he wailed. T.C. looked at the gapping hole in Skywarps chassis where his spark was meant to be. The hole its self was familiar, he had seen it before on Starscream and knew right away what had done it. A fusion cannon.

"Megatron" the sonic seeker hissed realizing this was they're punishment, this was how Megatron was going to make sure they never failed. Only now, the seekers were distraught. Someone had to pay.

Sunny sat in the rec room with Bluestreak. Mirage was in Med-Bay for a two earth weeks while Ratchet fixes his internals, thus leading to Sunstreaker's extreme boredom but not his wooziness.

"You alright Sunny? You look like slag no offence, how much longer tell Mirage is out? Hes fun you know he-"

"Bluestreak please shut up" Sunny said lacking the emotion behind it but it still worked.

"Hey, ya alright?" Sunny looked up at Jazz and smiled slightly. "Aw whats wrong ya came tell me" he said sitting down next to Blue on the opposite side of the table to Sunstreaker.

"It's nothing Jazz, systems just not used to the repairs yet" Sunny told him and went back to drinking his Energon. The TIC nodded and looked around to see who was in the room with them but it was only Ironhide and Cliffjumper who was off duty at the same time as them.

"Jazz are you ever on duty?" Blue asked looking confused, Jazz just laughed before turning to look at Sunny again.

"whats it been since ya got repaired? Two maybe three orns? Yer systems must be used to 'em by now, ya might wanna get that checked out man." Sunny just nodded and looked away from his friends. Maybe I should get checked out, he thought but then again its probably just nothing. The rest of the shift was spent laughing and joking around at-Blue mostly- but it did help take Sunny's mind of the sickening feeling in his tanks.
