Noooo!

Strongarm looked at him as lubricant started to roll down her faceplate.

"What are you doing?!" Naja asked feeling outraged that he wasn't doing as she told him to.

Steeljaw dug his claws into the arm that was about to strike his mate as he held it to stop himself from killing her, "I...told...you...NO ONE CONTROLS ME! AND I WOULD NEVER ATTACK MY MATE!"

"Steeljaw... I love... you."

"Strongarm," Steeljaw looked at her in sadness. He groaned in pain as he sunk his claws deeper into his arm, "I told you, I would never hurt you. I would rather cause pain to myself than hurt you in any way."

Naja growled as she lunged at the two, Steeljaw slapped the snake-like femme away knocking her out as her helm hit the ground.

Metalsound fell to the ground whimpering, her paws felt like they were on fire, Mova was about to sink her fang into the wolf's throat but she swiped her claws at the red and black femme. Mova screamed as she felt an icy sting slashing across her face. Metalsound looked at her paws, they were engulfed in flames. She whimpered as she felt herself sinking into darkness.

Thunderhoof. She whimpered as she looked to him for help.

Soundwave quickly sent the others through the Ground Bridge once they were knocked out, he raced to Metalsound's side checking her spark's pulse. There was a pulse but it was faint.

Magnus ran over to his daughter and pulled the sword out of her, he then helped her up, Steeljaw gently grabbed her other arm and they both helped her through the Ground Bridge and over to Fixit, "She's severely wounded Fixit," Magnus tells him with panic evident in his voice.

Strongarm was coughing up Energon as she started falling over but Steeljaw caught her before she could hit the ground. She slipped into stasis lock as Steeljaw laid her down on a berth, "She's slipping!" Fixit yells as he rushes to fix her up.

"So's Metalsound," Wheeljack growled in a panic. He worked as fast as he could to make the antidote while Soundwave stood between the two femmes. His visor showed nothing but electronic waves as he plays two songs, a mash-up of Back at One and Lullaby. He prayed that the two of them would stay, if not for themselves, then for their mates.

The other mechs came through and saw the two femmes almost dead, Bumblebee and Drift recognized the wounds on Strongarm, "Did I do that?" They both asked at once. Magnus didn't even look at them he just nodded.

Once Thunderhoof saw Metalsound in her condition he rushed over, "Metalsound! Metalsound, stay with me."

Slowly opening her optics she looked at her mate, the life in her was slowly fading, "Thunder," she whimpered with a loving smile.

"Yes love, I'm here."

Her tail slowly wrapped around his arm.

Steeljaw sat next to Strongarm with lubricant filling his optics, he watched numbly while Fixit worked, "Please stay Strongarm," he begged quietly. He could feel the Energon leaking from his self-inflicted wound but he didn't care, all that matters right now is Strongarm. He just wants her to live.

"What happened Steeljaw? What went on between you and that femme?" Magnus asked looking a bit disappointed at the young mech.

"That wretched femme kissed me," he roared, his body shaking, "They put us under some sort of spell, she kissed me and I allowed it!" He growled through clenched dentures. Just the thought of that femme touching him and kissing him made him want to purge out his tanks.

"Steeljaw, you were under her spell you had no control over yourself, same as the rest of us. Drift and I severely wounded her and we didn't even know," Bumblebee says trying to comfort him.

"Steeljaw. Did you mate with her?" Magnus came out and asked.

"No, she tried to get myself and Thunderhoof to but neither of us did."

"We would never do something like that, even if we were under their spell," Thunderhoof added as Wheeljack injected the antidote into Metalsound.

"I'm not too sure, but I believe Strongarm might think that you did with the way that femme was on you, her arms wrapped around you and you allowed it like you two were a couple like she was your new mate," Magnus said with a heavy spark.

"What? I didn't - when did she do that?!"

"When Strongarm was looking at you for help because she was being beaten down, she called your name and you just stared at her like she was of no concern to you, and then the femme wrapped her arms around you like you were her lover. She was so distracted by that and that's when she got wounded," Magnus replied as calmly as he could.

"I remember hearing her calling for me but her voice was so faint, I thought it was in my head. When I saw her crying that's when I snapped out of it. I couldn't take it when she was looking at me like that."

Magnus vents out a big sigh, "Steeljaw, I know you love her very much and wouldn't purposely hurt her, but I do believe she was hurt by what she saw, I could tell she was spark broken. You're gonna have to convince her that you didn't mate with that femme and your spark still belongs to her and her alone."

"I know."

Thunderhoof looked at Steeljaw for a moment before his optics shifted back to Metalsound who was sleeping, "Will she make it?"

"Not sure, we'll have to wait and see," Wheeljack replies in a sad tone.

Magnus walks over to Steeljaw who was still sitting next to Strongarm and patted him on the shoulder, "Now you should pull yourself together so you can show her she's still your one and only true love," he says to him in a firm tone.

Steeljaw shook his helm, shaking the lubricant from his optics, Ultra Magnus was right. It was going to be hard and there was no doubt that she wasn't going to believe him. He was just going to have to prove that he was loyal to her and to her alone, "May I stay with her, just for tonight?"

"Of course."

"Thank you, sir."
