Everyone was coughing because of the smoke. Sounds of metal clashing with metal. Windblade was crouching in front of Firefly who had a smile of relief on her face. Windblade then turned her around and used her blade to cut through the binds that held Firefly's wrists. When she was free, she stretched her arms in front of her and stood up.

"Sorry we took so long. You alright?" Windblade put a servo on Firefly's left arm for comfort. She nodded.

"I'm ok, just a bit sore. We need to help out the others." Firefly tried to take a step forward but failed and fell forward. She didn't hit the ground though; Windblade caught her, holding her tight.

"You're too tired." Windblade started to try and think of what to do. Either leave Firefly here or try to get her outside and out of the way. Firefly saw her contemplating face, stood and put her servo on Windblade's shoulder.

"The others need your help. Go, I can defend myself." She said confidently.

Windblade hesitated for a moment, then nodded and ran toward the team to help the team. Firefly leaned against the wall, still standing and keeping an eye on the fight through her tired optics. Bumblebee was fighting Steeljaw, Drift was fending off Thunderhoof, he didn't have his minicons out in fear they would get hurt, Grimlock and Windblade were up against Underbite, Strongarm was trying to fight Clampdown and Sideswipe was having a sword showdown with Fracture.

Sideswipe then did a side kick to Fracture's head and knocked him near Firefly, luckily he was unconscious. The fight carried on for another five or ten minutes until Fracture started to move without Firefly's knowing because she busy keeping an optic out for everyone. He lifted his head and looked at her and smiled. He slowly crawled towards Firefly all whilst making sure she wouldn't notice him.

Firefly was startled when Fracture appeared in front of her. She saw him smiling evilly, then he raised his blade and slashed it down on Firefly as she put her arms in front of her face. CLANG!

When Firefly removed her arms, Windblade had her back to her, stopping Fracture's blade with Windblade's own. They power struggled for a moment, then Windblade let go and kicked Fracture in the stomach. He was about to retaliate when Steeljaw called to his crew "Let's go!"

Steeljaw rolled out of the building, with the crew swiftly following behind him. Everyone relaxed a little now that the danger was gone. Bumblebee looked at everybody to see if anyone was hurt, he was slightly relieved to know Grim didn't get badly hurt. He approached him "You alright Grim?" Bee asked.

Grimlock smiled and nodded "I'm ok Bee."

Bumblebee smiled then looked toward Windblade and Firefly.

Windblade turned around to face Firefly "You ok?"

She nodded to say yes, because she was a bit speechless by what transpired. She almost died because she wasn't paying attention. She mentally scolded herself for Windblade almost getting hurt. Everyone started to gather around them.

"Well," Sideswipe started. It made Firefly remember the times her brother always trying to lighten the mood with his kind and bright spirit "that was fun."

"Yeah, let's go back to the scrapyard." Bee sighed. And commed Fixit for a groundbridge. Soon enough a green portal appeared outside the building. As everyone was starting to walk toward it, Firefly took a step forward and stumbled and felt her optics start to close. She was so tired she felt a helmache coming on. Windblade looked back and helped Firefly walk to the groundbridge. She held both her arms in each servo to guide her, so Firefly was pressed up close to Windblade's side.

When they walked through the groundbridge Windblade guided Firefly to Fixit. "Fixit can you do a check-up on Firefly?" Fixit nodded and made them follow him to the Alchemor.

Firefly barely processed anything since her tiredness was starting to overcome her. All she could feel was Windblade's servo on hers squeezing tight.

"She isn't sick, she just needs rest." Fixit explained calmly.

"Thanks little spark-breaker."

"Your welcome." He smiled and scooted away.

Windblade looked down at Firefly but found that she's barely awake. She didn't want to hurt her more by making her walk, so she picked Firefly bridal style and carried her to her makeshift bed. As Windblade layed her down she wanted to kiss her forehead, but she knew that was a bit forward of her so she just smiled and left.

As the night dragged on, somewhere across the stars a small spaceship was starting to burn into flames. A bot inside was panicking but knew what to do in times of emergency. He punched in the coordinates for the nearest planet, then ran to the stasis pods and quickly climbed in. As he fell into stasis the controls pinged the location for landing...

Earth.
