WARNING: This chapter is a bit gruesome.


Wheeljack flies over the crashed helicopter and his spark sinks. Did anyone survive? He brings the Jackhammer down to land so he can check for survivors. He gets to the helicopter right when military medical vehicles pull up along with some tanks and Humvees full of soldiers. The soldiers instantly point their guns at Wheeljack thinking that he's a Decepticon.

"Whoa, whoa! I'm an Autobot! Easy, I'm friendly." Wheeljack tells them as he shows them the Autobot symbol on his chest.

The soldiers put their guns down and make their way over to the helicopter along with the medics. Wheeljack gets down on his knees so he can see inside and his spark shatters when he sees the two boys and the agent, all three of them looking horrible.

Raf's glasses are broken with the lenses completely shattered, blood pours out of his head from a big open gash. Wheeljack could see a piece of bone protruding from his arm which indicates that it's broken, he can assume other bones in his small body are broken as well.

Jack has a piece of metal penetrating his left shoulder, missing his heart by a few inches, and his right knee cap seems to be pulled out of the joint. Wheeljack cringes at the thought of how much pain they must be in, but at least they're alive.

Agent Fowler was hanging out of the front window with pieces of glass cutting deep into his skin, Wheeljack hears one of the medics that's examining him say that he could possibly have a cracked skull. They carefully pull him back into the copter so they can bring him out and place him on a stretcher.

Wheeljack hears the engine of a car and he looks over to see a white car speeding towards them. The car comes to a stop next to the military vehicle and a woman gets out. The woman runs over to the helicopter completely ignoring the soldiers that are trying to stop her, "I'm a nurse, I can help!" She says as she makes her way over, "Jack!" She calls out as she runs towards the helicopter.

When she looks in and sees the state of her son and Raf her heart sinks to her stomach but she immediately goes into nurse mode. She helps the medics pull Raf out and onto a stretcher so they could see to his injuries, their main concern was stopping the bleeding.

June then went back into the helicopter to see to her son, "Jack." Upon saying his name she sees him open his eyes as he lets out a groan, "Hey sweetie, I'm here. Everything's gonna be alright." She says as she caresses his cheek.

"Mom…" Jack begins speaking in a groggy voice, "It hurts so bad mom." He continues on the verge of tears.

"I know honey, I know." June says as a soldier climbs in with a cutting tool so they can cut the metal piece off the chopper, "They're gonna cut the metal so they can get you out of here. I want you to keep looking at me. Ok?" June says as she takes his hand. Jack nods as the soldier starts cutting.

Wheeljack looked around for Miko and he started to panic when he couldn't see her. He looks around the area to see if he can find her, she has to be around here somewhere. He eventually finds her laying next to a big rock, he walks over to her, "Miko?" He calls out to her as he gets closer.

The girl looks up at him, "W-Wheeljack? You finally came." She says weakly.

Wheeljack kneels down next to her, "Of course I did. I only wish I had gotten here sooner. Are you alright?"

Tears start sliding down her cheeks, "No. My back really hurts and I'm having trouble moving. I think I broke my back."

"There are medics nearby, I can take you to them." Wheeljack says as he reaches down to pick her up. He carefully lifts her into his servo and she cries out in pain at the movement. Wheeljack goes back to where the medics are, "I have another one." He says as he squats down, "She says her back really hurts and she's having trouble moving, she believes her back might be broken."

"You really should not have moved her if that is the case." One of the medics tells him as they look at her, "You could have made it worse by doing so."

Wheeljack's optics widen, "I'm sorry, I didn't know."

"It's alright Wheeljack, you couldn't have known." Miko says with a very weak smile. The medics put a brace around her torso and they carefully put her on a stretcher. Wheeljack sees Jack being carried away on another stretcher with the piece of metal still sticking out of his shoulder. Wheeljack watches the humans leave as anger fills him. He's gonna make those 'Con scums pay for what they did.


Optimus clenches his dentures as he glares at Megatron who seems to be enjoying the sight of him getting his joints disabled. He can also tell that Knockout is really enjoying doing this as an evil smile stays plastered on his face. Optimus doesn't want to imagine what the others must be going through right now.

"Is this really necessary?" Ratchet asks from behind the two Vehicons who are standing guard over him.

"Not really. I just want to see Optimus miserable. Let him see how his decision is affecting not only himself…" A scream of pain is heard echoing through the halls, "…but his team as well. How does it feel to let down your own team down? These bots trusted you and believed that you would come out victoriously and save them, and you failed them."

"Don't listen to him Optimus, he's trying to mess with your processor. We all chose to give ourselves up and-" Ratchet was interrupted by one of the Vehicons punching him in his abdomen.

"Shut it!"

Megatron lets out a laugh, "Your lapdog is trying to comfort you Optimus…" Before Megatron could say anything else he gets a call over the comm.

:: My lord. ::

Megatron growls into the comm, :: What is it!? It better be something good! ::

:: Sorry to interrupt you, my lord. Just wanted to let you know that we found someone that you will be pleased to see. ::

:: I'm on my way. :: Megatron says as he walks out of med-bay. He's very perplexed about who they are referring to. Who would he be pleased to see?
