Chapter 9:

Bumblebee sat sobbing in his room… his chassis hurt and his vents raw as he tried to keep from screaming… he wanted his family to be happy… this wasn't what he wanted... what… what he wanted…slag… his chest hurt… hurt so bad…was…was it supposed to-

Bumblebee screamed as pain flared in his chassis. His servos gripping at his chassis as he screamed. He fell onto his back and arched on his berth. His servos scraping at his chassis.

~Prowler! Wake up! It's Bee!~ Jazz panicked, his tiny servos trying to prop him up and off his belly. His head bobbed pathetically as he tried to sit up but was unable to articulate the commands in his limbs to do so, instead he came off as a pouting bobble headed chibi.

~What? What's wrong?~ Prowl whimpered as he rolled over from his back and tried to mimic his 'brother'. Once he saw their little bug in pain both males opened their bond trying to reach out to him and see what was wrong but when pain scorched their bond they began to wail in agony as their own sparks seemed to quiver. His tiny door wings flared trying to take in the atmosphere as his frame tried to figure out what was 'assaulting' them.

Bumblebee screamed even louder as the pain suddenly doubled and it was loud enough to draw the attention of passerby's before the 5 minute mark passed Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, and Ratchet burst through his door.

Ratchet cursed in horror as he jacked into the mini and readings flashed through his systems. What he saw made half-digested energon rise into his tubing but he pushed it down and overrode the bots systems, forcing Bumblebee's chassis open.

There it was… His fear that he had already seen in the readings… There withering in agony was…

Only one lone spark with a large white scar on its side where once before a tiny bundle had nestled so tightly to the other just moments ago… but the scarred spark seemed to wail in its grief as it flickered dangerously in instability and Ratchet knew what was needed.

Ratchet pulled a servo to his own chassis in sympathy of the mark though as a natural reflex as he turned to the gawking twins who stared transfixed to the others spark. "Sunstreaker! Sideswipe! Merge now! His spark is failing! We don't have time to think about this!" Ratchet ordered and both mechs blushed but moved in for their claim.

Sunstreaker was the first to open his chassis and there was the beautiful spark of an Autobot bared, then Sideswipe followed, his a shade bluer then the near white of his brothers. Then they knelt down, each grabbed a pained and twitching servo of the smaller bot before clashing their sparks together. Bumblebee's hips bucked and his mouth opened in a scream but no sound fell from him before he just fell limp. His invents and exvents slow and shallow.

Immediately silence filled the room as the pain vanished with the new bond…

Bumblebee lay limp in their hold as the twins held him. Fear was etched into their faceplates even as Sunstreaker tenderly stroked his face. "Bee?" he asked timidly but there was no response. Sideswipe looked to the medic for help but the teary optics of the medic held fast for a whole klik before he finally moved.

"Calm… he is…merely resting… the sparkling has perished… when he awakes I will talk to him about the removal of the protoform before it starts to decompose…" Ratchet said softly as he went between the new mates and scooped the tiny bot into his arms as his back turned the first tears fell…then his knees buckled. It was there as he fell to his knees that he began to sob over the tiny Autobot. His shoulders hunched and trying to shield the bot. "I-I am so sorry, tai- slag…" he sobbed softly as he tried to refrain from saying THAT name…

Ratchet gasped as one gold arm went around his waist and the action mirrored by a red arm on the opposing side his head whipped up to look at the two mechs in surprise to see that they were helping him to stand and they were there in that moment to be the medics pillars of strength, after all he was unmated to the knowledge of everybot on the ark.

"Don't worry doc., we'll do this together." Came the soft voice of Sideswipe as he looked at the medic and his arm tightened around his waist…something in his optics seemed to catch the medic's attention but he just couldn't place it. Just as quickly as their optics mech Sideswipe blushed and looked away but a sad air seemed to settle among them as they carrier the beetle away and a sparkling nestled in each servo of a twin that wasn't occupied with a medic.

~It's gone…we failed him…~ Came the soft shell-shocked voice of Prowl from his spot nestled snuggly in Sideswipes hold.

~Poor Bee… he needs us… and we ahr not helpin' at all…~ Jazz whimpered but neither wailed their grief in this moment as they knew the tiny yellow frame needed silence and rest. So instead he opened his tiny mouth and bit down onto Sunstreakers chest plate and chewed on it in an attempt to forget, the gold mech didn't even seem to know the other was biting him and slobbering all over him as he tried so hard not to wail.

*Wheeljack (still in dessert) *

Wheeljack groaned as he heard a voice over him, weakly his optics onlined to see a familiar face and he whimpered… his cousin? What was he doing here? "R-red?" he whimpered softly in confusion and his helm panels flashed a dull, dirty shade of turquoise.

"Wheeljack?! Thank Primus you are alright! We came as soon as we got your distress call!" Red Alert said as First Aid pulled up beside them and transformed, Inferno hot on the fire chiefs' pedes as red alert crouched beside him. The firetruck continued to look around as waiting for an attack.

"Wheeljack? Can you look and tell me how many fingers I'm holding up? How many are there?" First Aids soft, almost awkward voice came to his audios.

"One? Wait, two… No, no, three! That's my final answer! You're holding three up." He said as his optics flickered in exhaustion and his helm panels flickered.

Red Alert and First Aid shared a concerned look while Inferno made a small chuckle at the others expense. "Try none Boom Boom Aft, Aid ain't holdin' his fingers up yet, that's an optic pen to check reactiveness…" Inferno said as Red Alert glared at him and Inferno looked away as if innocent.

"U-uh Wheeljack, I'm afraid to say this but you seem to have jarred your CPU. I-it's like what humans call an concoction-"

"Nah- the terms Concussion, Aid! Those fraggin' squishies and their weird innards… they got a name for every bruise in'na different place!" Inferno said flippantly. "No the real question is, who attacked you and what were ya doin' all the way out here?" Inferno said almost suspiciously which had even Red Alert seeming more nervous.

Wheeljack tried to bring up the memory but… it seemed black… completely black. So he shrugged. "I don't recall… i… I think it was something important." He said as he once more tried to download the file but received an error message instead.

"Inferno, we can use your emergency tow line to tow Wheeljack back to base where I can give him a thorough check up…" First Aid said as he encouraged Wheeljack to transform and the mech did as instructed where he was attached to the cable and the firetruck growled but pulled away as he kept his sensors sharp for another possible attack, Red Alert at his right doing the same while First Aid made arrangements for Wheeljack's arrival on base all the while fretting about him till their arrival.

*Doubledealer*

The tiny cyber hound whimpered as it nuzzled the mechs servo. It was coming she could tell, she could smell the painful flashback that always seemed to cripple the poor bot… just like the other… just like that kind mech she loved so dearly…

Doubledealer leaned against the wall panting through gritted denta. His optics off as he snarled mutedly in an attempt to rid the images that haunted him. One servo even went to his helm and applied pressure as he began to whimper a soft broken click leaving his vocals.

"P-please! Stop! I don't want this!" Tail Wind screamed as he tried to buck the other off him

"Shut up and be still, you will soon enough!" The seeker snarled as he rammed his spike in harder causing the yellow teen to scream in agony.

Doubledealer who had just returned home and heard the ruckus and rushed to his back room, dropped his energon cubes at the sight… Tail Wind? No…no… this wasn't right… he was at the celebration with his mate…no…no not his Tails… slag it all he should have gone to the party! He was the only one who ever seemed able to protect him!

"LET HIM GO!" Doubledealer snapped in rage as he launched himself onto the larger bots back and pawed and smashed himself against the large broad wings… the seeker screamed and reeled away in agony as he tried to throw the other off… He succeeded but the damage to his wings had been done… So in agony and startled at being caught the seeker dashed from the room praying to Primus, the enforces didn't show up.

Doubledealer realized with a pained whimpered that the yellow bot was writhing in 'pain'. "Tails I'm so sorry I should have been here! I told you I'd be here and-"

"Hot… so…hot… hurts…" he whimpered as he arched and writhed in place. His wings arched high in tension and his whole frame coated in oily coolant as he arched and proposed himself as he spread his legs and bared his stretched, raw, and bleeding port. A slender yellow servo going to his suddenly hard spike and stroked himself and the sight alone had Doubledealer doubled over in pain with desire.

Sadly the friend knew this was no normal and as such something was DEFINITLY wrong. Doubledealer didn't hesitate to jack himself into the others medical port right in his inner thigh and he gasped as data surged into him making him feel dizzy…he slumped over the other with a keen from the overload of data. "N-now I know…why…medics… have…so many fragging buffers… downloaded" He panted softly as he searched the information and compared it to his information he had gathered in his time in the archives, what he found had him sick.

"Tail Wind! Listen-no don't touch th-no! You have- Slag it! You don't want me! You have mates-to-be that can help yo- Tails please!" Doubledealer begged as he struggled to contain Tail Wind's wandering servos and fought over the okay and not okay places to be touching friends… Primus! He wanted the mech soooo bad but… "T-tails, please! I need to get your mates here or you could overheat to critical levels! I'm reading low coolant levels already and-"

"C'moooon… one gud frag…" he purred sluggishly as he pawed at his friend again who whimpered…

"Tali please…" Doubledealer begged hoping that resorting to the sparkling name he had went by was enough to break his dazed state but to no avail and as he felt his friend grow even hotter he knew his decision was made for him.

The teal mech rolled their positions and whimpered. "Fine… but we do this my way." He said softly and opened his panel…

Then it turned into a blur for the mech…

He remember pain as his friend slammed his spike into his unprepared port and straight through his seals. It burned and ached and nothing about it was pleasurable as he wailed in agony but the poor drugged bot didn't hold back as he set a brutal pace…

Seconds…

Minutes…

Primus it could have been hours or even days but it all blurred together in angry colors that didn't even normally exist in his run down old home but… finally Tail Wind overloaded and collapsed on top of his smaller frame… slowly carefully he moved his friend off of him…and he cried… he had loved his friend. Was willing to save his life, hence why he gave up the only thing he had of any value to said mech, but his seals were still special to him too. He had tried to talk Tail Wind into taking them countless times and becoming mates but… he had always pushed him away in a very timid but gentle way that always had Doubledealer craving the other even more…

Yet as Tail Wind lay there sleeping as peacefully as a drugged bot could, he limped away crying to himself… who did he have to run two? He had no one… all his 'friends' would laugh at him, would tease him… the one bot that he knew would help him and he was unconscious and a very guilty party…

So he ran…

That's when it all went downhill.

When Tail Wind awoke he was alone and in his friends' house with a very sore port. It was without a doubt that Tail Wind realized what the pain meant and feeling betrayed by the one bot he thought of as a brother Tail Wind staggered away and fled, but he didn't go home… no, not yet.

No, Tail Wind lef-t and what he found… was just the beginning of the end of a very tragic tale….

Doubledealer screamed with a closed mouth in anguish as he sagged to the floor and it was there that the tiny femme finally was able to catch his attention as she head butted him hard and licked at the tears he hadn't even realized were falling.

Laying down she persistently nuzzled his servo till he was forced to stroke her smooth helm. "I'm okay… I… I'm okay-" he whimpered as he suddenly lunged for the femme and pulled her to his chassis where he wailed for the first time in a long time…

*Med Bay*

Ratchet watched with a void expression through the one way mirror in his office. Sideswipe was sleeping in a chair now by the berth that held Bumblebee and the two sparklings. Prowl had begun to wail some time ago and it was Sideswipe who placed his large digit into the sparklings mouth where he wailed around it till he decided sucking it was much better and well like that both fell asleep, Sideswipe in the chair with his helm on the berth and a finger in the tiny sparklings mouth with his servo resting on the plump round black tank of the sparkling.

Sunstreaker however was sitting on the very edge of the berth and was gently stroking Jazz's cheek in an almost fascinated way, of course he also believed himself alone too…lest he be caught in such an action. He looked like some primitive beast as it tried to figure out its own kind for the first time. Ratchet almost expected him to crouch onto the balls of his pedes and start making mammalian sound as he went. 'Hoo hoo ha! Me Sunny! You Bee! Mate! Hoo hoo…' then he'd throw his arms up in the air and throw some weird celebration.

The though brought a smile to his face…yes…a smile, finally he was starting to break out of… slag… nope that thought still lingered there like some horrible itchy rust spot! Yes, it was there. Couldn't see it or always feel it but you knew where it resided…

"He lost it." Came a soft whisper in his audio.

Ratchet gasped and whirled on the red van who held up his servos placating like. Seeing who it was Ratchet relaxed minutely… "Yes…" he hushed like a sparklings breath well in this case there would be no sparklings breath he supposed.

"It is not surprising-"

"I know it's not!" Ratchet snarled in fury before seeming to shrink into himself and becoming so small, the action much more suited for First Aid than the strong bull headed CMO. "I just-… I… for once in this Primus forsaken land I had hoped… that…" Ratchet didn't finish but in that one moment Ironhide was upon him. The red mech kissed him as he used a servo to tenderly stroke the aging cheek as the medics lip quivered he nipped it. Immediately the lips parted and Ironhide dove his glossa in. ~Open-~

~Ironhide, don't!~ Ratchet pleaded as he tried to part their frames and pull away his red servos going to his white chassis as he guarded himself.

~Please… yer not alone… let meh see it.~ He pleaded and with a broken sob the medic parted his chassis as his shoulders sagged in defeat.

With a soft coo Ironhide tenderly inserted his servo and stroked the one lone scar that marred his spark and in that moment Ratchet broke once more and he began to sob… but this time, he wasn't alone, Ironhide himself allowed his own tears to fall, for in that moment neither mech was so daft as to deny the fact… history was repeating itself once more.
