Third Point of View
The plane ride back to the base was going to be the death of Gabriel. There wasn't enough medical equipment to keep the girl alive. Even with Ratchets skill level, her death was to come.
Ratchet was surprised the girl survived this long; she was a walking corpse right. From the torture that Shockwave gave to her, she shouldn't be alive right now. He did everything in his power to stop the internal and external bleeding to stop, yet she has lost much blood.
But something was wrong on the atom level, special where her organs lay. Her heart was almost two times too small; part of her liver and both kidneys are missing, it didn't look as if it was cut but like it was zapped out of existence. She was not in good shape at all.
Ironhide was forced to go into his alt mode as he was pacing around the plane making it tilt to the sides. He's in his holoform and pacing right behind of Ratchet, waiting for their CMO to give him hopefully good news about his charge.
He must say he is terrified about her and prayed to Primus for her to survive because he didn't know what he would do if she didn't. She somehow sneaked into his spark and made her spot in his spark. He was already planning the Cons scientist's death and Shockwave was going to have a fun time with Ironhide.
The pilots flew this poor plane as fast they could back to base because if they didn't, someone was going to die. It be them or the kid in the cargo bay of the plane.
The gear of the plane touched down on the plane and made a loud shrieking noise and bounced a couple of times. It slows down to a stop and the ramp lowers down to the ground to allow its carriers to exit the plane.
Ratchet rushes Gabriel to his Med. bay as fast his wheels and as safely he could. Her heart was having trouble pumping that vital blood throughout her body and it was slowing down to a stop.
This wasn't good, Ratchets brain said to itself. If she joins the Well of Sparks, his friend wouldn't be able to hold it in. Chromia was already gone because of this war but if Ironhide lost Gabriel, he didn't know how he would act but all he knew it wasn't going to be pretty.
He couldn't get a transfusion for her because the base doesn't hold any extra blood. He also didn't know what type of blood she is.
Ironhide stood behind Ratchet, keeping his space to allow the Medic to do his job. He could wait until he was given either good news or…bad news.
Ratchet turned around to face his friend with a grim expression, "'Hide… she's not going to make it." Those words made Ironhide lose it and for the second time, he saw red. He already lost his sparkmate, why did Primus have to take the kid away too?
The last words he ever heard from her was "I love you, Dad."
That's all folks! Fuck, I'm such a bad person to all my characters but I wanted to show not all stories end in fluffy unicorns and rainbows. Yes, I understand this was under 1,000 words but I don't care. Sad to say this but… hope you enjoyed the book!
Until next time,
