"Photon!" Optimus shouted.
The large Prime ran to his son. He pulled him into his arms and held him close. Photon shook hard in his arms. Tears started to appear in both carrier's and son's optics.
"Carrier, I don't want to die," Photon whimpered.
"I know my son," Optimus rasped.
"I feel really tired," Photon said.
"Shhh... rest my son. You deserve it," Optimus choked out.
Photon went limp against his frame. Optimus hugged him closely, his tears splashing onto the ground. Ratchet took Photon from Optimus and contacted Knock Out and First Aid to send emergency backup ASAP. The medic checked his grandcreation and found him barely hanging onto life. He needed to work fast if he wanted him to live. Knock Out showed up and got Photon and Starscream into the vehicle to go repair them. Ratchet joined him to the hospital to work on Photon. Hot Rod cried harder, not knowing if his older brother was alive or not.
"He'll be fine Hot Rod," Megatron whispered.
Prowl and Jazz pulled Axel to the other prisoners to take them to the highest security brig they had. Hot Rod was put down and left there as his sire went to comfort his carrier. He trudged to his mentor and curled up next to him. He didn't know what else to do. The cool metal gave some comfort to his distressed mind, but it didn't help at all. His thoughts were distant.
At least Unicron is defeated. If only you were here to see it Burnah Hot Rod thought.

"Hot Rod, please drink some energon," Optimus begged.
Hot Rod shook his helm. He didn't want to do anything. He just sat in his room everyday and stared at the wall and the stars at night. Optimus sighed and set the cube down next to his son's berth. Ever since the battle that Burnah died in, Hot Rod had hardly talked or did anything. Both Megatron and Optimus were worried about him.
"Come on Hot Rod. Please?" Optimus tried again.
"Don't wanna," Hot Rod mumbled.
"I'll leave it here for you," said Optimus and left.
"Did he drink?" asked Megatron.
"No. He still refuses," Optimus answered.
"He's barely had anything since Burnah died," said Megatron.
"I know. There must of been some sort of strong bond between them in the short amount of time they were together," said Optimus. "There must be someway for him to be brought back."
"I'll find something out. Come, you have work to get too," said Megatron. "I'll try to get him to drink something."
Optimus kissed his mate goodbye and left. His thoughts were all on his son and how to bring back Burnah.

"I miss you so much Burnah. Without you, I wouldn't be here today," Hot Rod whimpered, taking a few sips of the energon.
He knew that Burnah wouldn't like seeing him like this but he couldn't help it. He had formed a strong bond with the mech. Seeing him save him that day, knowing he would die, made it harder for him. It was all new, for the both of them.

Megatron skimmed through Alpha Trion's work in search of a way to bring Burnah back. It would take quite a while, given that some of the older work was written in ancient Cybertronian. And there was still tons of datapads and books to look through. The former warlord wondered how the old mech could keep up with it all.

Optimus walked into the hospital and hugged his carrier. Ratchet wasn't surprised at all to see his son there. Optimus walked to a room and sat down next to Photon.
"How are they carrier?" Optimus asked.
"Well, I can say that Starscream will be heading back home to his family in a few days. He'll still need to be kept in berth with a medic and special equipment for the next couple weeks to ensure that his spark didn't have any permanent damage done to it while it was exposed and powering the machine," Ratchet explained. "As for Photon, he won't be leaving anytime soon. His body forced itself into a deep stasis to repair the damage and to recover from having the wrong type of energon for the time he was held captive."
"We are fortunate that he survived," Optimus pointed out.
"Yes we are," said Ratchet. "He's truly a youngling full of surprises. Anyone else would of died from a hit like that. He somehow survived."
Optimus pressed a kiss to Photon's helm before leaving to the next room over. He found Skyfire and Starscream talking. The silver seeker welcomed him with a warm smile.
"How are you feeling Starscream?" asked Optimus.
"I have been feeling a little better. My spark still has troubles, but that is expected," the seeker answered.
"That is good. I hear that Turbine, Flare, and Array are missing you," said Optimus.
"No doubt they are. I've been away from them for too long," Starscream agreed.
"I shall speak with you later. It's good to see you, and you Skyfire," said Optimus.
"Likewise Optimus," said Skyfire.
Optimus nodded his helm and left. He started to head home, wanting to check up on Hot Rod before he took care of the twins and Alnilam. His pulled up and walked into the house, being greeted by Alnilam, the twin femmes cooing and giggling from their spot on the floor surrounded by toys. Optimus lifted his son up into his arms and held him.
"How is Hot Rod?" Optimus asked.
"He still won't talk or eat much," said Alnilam. "His sorrow is deep in his spark."
"Your sire and I are working on fixing that. Soon Hot Rod will be back to himself," said Optimus. "And we won't give up until he is. Where's your sire?"
"He said something about looking through 'the old bot's ancient work'," said Alnilam.
"I see. I'm sure Alpha Trion's work will have something in it to help us cheer Hot Rod up," said Optimus.
The Prime set his son down and started towards the femmes. He stopped short and just stared ahead of him. Alnilam got worried and called out to him. Optimus collapsed and started to have an attack. Alnilam freaked out and searched for something to help. It was his first time seeing his carrier like this. He raced to the vid. com. and dialed his grandcarrier's number. The orange and white medic answered shortly.
"Grandcarrier, mama fell and started to move around a lot," said Alnilam.
"I'll be over there Alnilam. Make sure he doesn't hit his helm and try talking to him," said Ratchet, signing off when he finished speaking.
Alnilam ran to go do as he was told. His carrier continued to thrash around on the ground. Ratchet showed up not a moment later to help his son. But instead of staying conscious after it, Optimus passed out. Ratchet couldn't feel his spark anymore, much less sense it. He didn't know what to do and just stayed there.
