chapter 2

Prowl and X-brawn moped around the base all the night Sideburn died. Ultra Magnus and Optimus felt sorry for them even though Ultra magnus had just joined the team he knew that Sideburn meant a lot to his older brothers.

X-brawn was looking at Sideburn's sparkling book. It showed him, Prowl with their father at the hospital the day Sideburn was born. X-brawn flipped through it. He remember Sideburn's first word it was brother. X-brawn wondered how Prowl was holding up.

Prowl was very devastated. "I wish I was better big brother." He said. Ultra magnus told Optimus that they had to talk them about this. Because they had lost some many good friends.

Some where in another realm.

Sideburn woke with gasp h didn't know where he was. There was light all around him. He wanted to know where his brothers were. Was this a dream?

"Welcome to my realm." a voice said. the voice was strong and gentle.

"Whose realm is it?" Sideburn asked.

"You are in the realm of Primus, and I am Primus," The voice said.

"You're Primus? Why am I here?" Sideburn asked.

"I hate to tell you this but you have died." Primus told him.

"What?!" Sideburn said.

"I know this is hard but like all who have died you have a choice." Primus said.

"A choice?" Sideburn said.

"You can go to the well of all-sparks where your ancestors are or you can return where everyone misses you so much especially your brothers." Primus said.

Sideburn began to think he remembered his brothers and them murmuring to him in the ambulance on the way to the hospital that everything would be okay. He believed them and he loved them they're his big brothers. They always helped him when he needed it. He missed them and his girlfriend, team bullet train, the spy changers, build team, Optimus, Ultra magnus, Koji, and Doctor Onishi. "Send me back I want to be with them!" Sideburn said.

"Very well." Primus said.

"Will I remember being here?" Sideburn asked.

"No, but I assure you everything will be just fine when you return." Primus said.

"Thank you, and good bye." Sideburn said.

"Farewell," Primus said.

A medic named Airpump was inspecting the morgue. He saw a body he hear about a youngling in his teenage years had been killed. He went to have a look. When he saw the body he was shocked to his core. He covered up the body and started to walk out. There was a flash of light a pure beautiful light. Airpump heard something it was moan, a painful moan. "Hello?" He said. He saw the body move under the tarp. He lifted the tarp. He saw Sideburn's red optics look at him. He moaned. "Primus," Airpump said. Due to his medical training he placed his hand on Sideburn's chest. There was the beating of spark underneath. "You're still alive," He said. Sideburn just moaned and fell unconscious. Airpump ran to the phone and typed in a number. "ER," a femme said. "This Airpump I need a team of medics to the morgue now! The autobot Sideburn is alive." He said.

Ultra Magnus and Optimus sat the two brothers down. "listen we know this is hard for you but keep in mind it is not you're fault." Optimus said. "Yes none of us knew that Sideburn was in danger." Ultra Magnus said. "But if we had gotten there sooner our brother would be alive." Prowl said. "Ripcord is in the brig we'll interrogate him soon." Hot shot said. The phone rang. "I'll get it." X-brawn said. Prowl followed. So did the others. X-brawn picked it up. It was the medic from last night. "You have to get to the hospital now." He said. "But why?" Prowl asked. "Sideburn is still alive I don't know how but just get here." The medic said and hung up. Soon the bots were heading for the hospital.

They arrived at the hospital the medic was waiting for them. "Where's Sideburn?' Prowl asked before changing into bot mode. "Follow me." The medic said. "We don't understand." X-brawn said. "Neither do I his spark chamber was empty when I pronounced him last night but all I can say this is an act of Primus himself," The medic said. "I repaired the spots the needed the most repairs like his spark chamber but he still has some damages that need more experienced surgeon to repair. So I called one of the best surgeons on Cybertron to do the rest of you brothers repairs. but right now he's okay and stable." the medic said. They made it to a room. "He's in here," The medic said. There on the bed was a figure with three tubes going into his arm and a couple of wires that was reading his sparkbeat, pulse and breathing and a breathing tube the went into his nose.

X-brawn and Prowl walked up the bedside of Sideburn. Sideburn was fast asleep. X-brawn and Prowl heard the beeping that read their brother's vitals. "The surgeon will be here tomorrow there is nothing worry about." the medic said.

There was a groan. Sideburn opened his optics. He saw all his friends and his brothers. "Where am I?" He asked. "You're in the hospital," Prowl said. "Why am I here?" He asked. "Do you remember what happened?" X-brawn asked. Prowl got close to his little brother he was cop and he knew a first hand testament from a victim will set up immediate conviction and he wanted that because that was his little brother that was attacked. "No," Sideburn said. "Short term Trauma induced amnesia very common in cases like this." the medic said. Prowl was bit disappointed but he knew Sideburn didn't need to deal with such trauma. "It's for the best he doesn't need to remember what that psycho did to him." Ultra Magnus said. Everyone had to agree. Sideburn was scared and was starting to get a little more frightened. "What happened why am I in here?" Sideburn asked. "A crazy bot attacked you." X-brawn said. "I don't remember that!" Sideburn said he was really scared. "Shh, you're okay," Prowl said. Prowl saw the medic up Sideburn's meds. Effect of the pain killers and the sedative he hit him like train. Then Sideburn was fast asleep.

"So what parts need to be fix?" Prowl asked. "Let's see his T-cog, muffler, motor, his engine block and the part called the speedroten the part that gives us Autobot our speed each one is different Sideburn's was so badly damaged I had to remove it I called in to have one specially made for him this one will make Sideburn even faster than before." The medic said. "Sideburn will also need 4 months worth of Physical therapy to get strong again." The medic said.

"Sounds like Sideburn's got long tough road of recovery ahead of him." X-brawn said. "The most important thing right now is he's alive." Prowl said. "The word leaked out to the press and they want in the hospital. We put up guards to keep them out of the room. Last thing Sideburn needs is that kind of stress." The medic said.

Prowl went to the brig were they were going to interrogate Ripcord. "Tell me why did you decide to attack my brother Sideburn?" He said. "I had to he had to die I hate him Crimsonspeed is my girl and no one else can have her anyone who gets near her is fool I need her have to her understand what did was my right so I will never plead guilty I'll have my day in court. And you can't make me change my mind." He said. "That dude is deranged." Prowl said. "My scans show he is mentally unstable he lost his mind." TAI said. "I say I he needs to be put in the rubber room" Ultra Magnus said.

Crimsonspeed told Prowl all the times that Ripcord had hurt her and was being obsessive and that is why she dumped him but he didn't get the message. Prowl wrote everything down. Ripcord made Prowl feel sick. Prowl went back to the hospital where his brothers were.

"How is he?" Prowl asked. "Sound asleep." X-brawn said. They will stay by Sideburn's side until he recovers.
