Dedicated to Bluestar2011, thanks for all the emails! It got me to focus on this story again!

Chapter Nine

Ty had been floating in a black fog with no pain whatso ever. Every once in a while faces of his family passed by accompanied by their voice.

"Tyrell" they called. One in particular called over and over, it seemed to demand that he get up.

Tyrell knew that voice, he remembered that voice was meant to be obeyed. He began to fight the black fog, it tried to cling to him unwilling to let him go. He fought harder, the fog weakening and finally letting him go. He opened his eyes to find Will and Epps worried faces looking down at him.

"Hey guys," he whispered.

Smiles appeared on the two soldiers faces.

"Welcome back to the world of the living" said Epps. Tyrell smiled at the joke no matter how lame it was.

"You gave us quite a scare Ty. Everyone thought you were dead, Sam's pretty torn up over it" said Lennox seriously.

"Is Sam okay, Megatron didn't hurt him" an edge of panic and fear was in his voice, his heart began to beat faster in fear. Ratchet began to step forward when Tyrell's stress level began to rise. He feared that it would aggravate Ty's injuries more. Will saw Ratchet begin to step forward and knew that he had to calm Tyrell down.

"Calm down Ty, Sam's fine. He's got a few cuts and bruises, but he's fine. Because of you Optimus was able to be there to save him."

Tyrell relaxed almost instantly, it was good to know that he made the right choice. He looked at Will. "Would you tell this Optimus guy thanks."

"Your welcome" said a deep baritone voice.

If his neck wasn't injured, Ty would have snapped it to the side to see the owner of the voice. Instead he gently turned and saw a large…Autobot, that's what Sam called them. This one was over 30 ft. tall, most of his armor was blue, his chest area was red, and he was covered in flames. Ty looked into its face, unlike Cade, he had blue eyes with a kind expression on his face. From the color scheme Ty was sure that this was the semi who had fallen behind to fight the Decepticon.

His attention was drawn away from the large Autobot by a tingling sensation running up and down his body. Ty gently turned his head to find another 'bot. This one was yellow, but not as bright as Bumblebee. He had a stern look about him, some parts of his face made it appear like he had a handlebar mustache. Ty noticed the word rescue, and the lights and knew that this was the search and rescue hummer. He though back to the run on the highway. Sam had said all these guy's names but he only could remember their vehicle models. He thought on it harder, Ratchet, that was his name. He had been one of the two who had been defending Sam until that flying Dorito injured him. Tyrell thought that Sam had said he was the Autobots medic.

This was confirmed by Epps a second later.

"How's he doing Doc Bot?"

"Better, the nanites are doing there job. He'll be able to leave in a few days. He won't be fully recovered for a few weeks."

Something in Ratchet's voice, made Tyrell believe that he wouldn't be leaving the med bay for a few weeks, no matter what Ratchet was saying. Maybe he could have Barricade rescue him from this medic's grasp. He let his eyes move across the room, he saw Bumblebee, and the little silver mech, but no Cade. He had promised that he would stay with him. Optimus saw Tyrell's gaze sweep across the room, searchingly, and the look of disappointment afterwards. Optimus knew what he was searching for.

"Barricade is in the next room over. I thought it was best giving his and Bumblebee's history. I'm hoping, if your willing to explain how Ironhide ended up finding you with him.

Tyrell sighed, the memories of being injured were still fresh and painful to think about. He could feel the ghost of the pain in his body, but this would help Barricade. He told them everything that happened on the roof to waking up there.

"What about the glyph on your hand, when did that appear," asked Ratchet.

"It appeared after I touched the tail of the scorpion's tail, it burned really bad." He didn't mention the visions of Megatron on Cybertron. He suddenly felt tiny feet on his lap and only had a second to prepare himself before his hurt face was assaulted by a hug from Dials.

"Ty-Ty is okay. I knew Cady was right!"

Optimus looked down at Lennox. "I take this as the sparkling that Mikaela was looking for."

Lennox just gazed at the little transformers wondering where it came from. "I know Sam said you saved it, but I didn't really believe it that you did."

"Ya, sorry for not telling you before the battle. I grabbed him and replaced him with my phone moments before it was destroyed. His name is Dials and apparently I'm his guardian."

Dials chose to speak up from the place where he glued himself to, Ty's face.

"Ya, voice say it bring guardian, Ty-Ty came." He then returned to rubbing his face against Tyrells making a purring noise.

Optimus looked at Ratchet, amusement in his eyes. "This will be interesting, a human becoming a guardian of a Transformer, blessed by the All-Spark itself."

Ratchet blinked his optics in surprise, "the All-Spark's blessing."

"Yes, the voice the sparkling heard, it was obviously the All-Spark. It made sure one of its last creations could be safe."

Ratchet vented, thinking when he realized something that the sparkling said, he let out a low growl that even had Optimus backing away from him.

"We looked all over for that sparkling and that slagging 'Con had him the whole time," he yelled, his hands twitching towards the wrench on the work table. Dials whimpered, Ty brought his uninjured hand up and rubbed the small bot's back, comforting it. Ratchets yell woke up the other four people in the med bay.

"Ratchet whats goin on?" asked a sleepy Mikaela. She was curled up with Sam on Bee's chest, they arrived moments after Lennox had said that the boy was Tyrell. Bee had come out of recharge long enough to grab them and put them there. None had heard the revelation. Not even Jazz, who had the sharpest hearing of any bot Ratchet had seen, all had been stone dead tired and slept like rocks.

Ratchet didn't want to stress Ty out further, "Nothing go back to recharge, my scans say that your in need of more."

"Na, it wont help anything" said Sam, sitting up, stretching, and glancing at the group around the table, catching the eyes of the person laying on the table. He knew those eyes, eyes he never thought he would see again. He scrambled off of Bee's chest, avoiding the hands that tried to catch him. He shimmed off the table Bee had been sleeping on, and ran to the table Lennox and Epps stood on, running up the stairs to the tabletop. Only slowing as he reached the top of the stairs, looking at the figure on the it. He was covered in bandages and casts, his face cut up and swollen it was unrecognizable but he knew those eyes.

"Tyrell?"

"Hey Sam" came the whispered reply. Sam wanted to fling himself on his brother again, a hand on his shoulder distracted him from these thoughts. He turned to face Lennox and Epps.

"How?"

"Apparently Barricade saved him. If it wasn't for him Tyrell would've died" said Lennox gently.

Sam shuddered remebering the police car that had almost kidnapped him days earlier. How could the same bot, save his brother?

Behind him, Bumblebee clicked in the surprise. Sam gently stepped away from the soldiers and sat down next to Tyrell, noticing Dials curled up on Ty's face, Ty noticed this.

"Thanks for keeping the lil guy safe, I understand you had a slight problem keeping an eye on him" a slight smile on his lips, then he turned serious. "I'm glad that your okay."

Tears escaped Sam's eyes. "I should be the one glad that your alive, I thought you were dead…again."

"I know Sam. I'm sorry, I just want to make sure that your okay. You will always be my top priority," he smiled again. "Besides, you should know by know that giant evil robots cant keep me down."

Sam let out a little laugh, smiling through his tears, gently taking his brother's hand in his.

"Mom and Dad will be so relieved when they find out." They both turned when they heard a groan. Everyone looked at Lennox, who looked a little flustered.

"I just told your parents a couple of hours ago the news." The room was silent for a second before Tyrell began to laugh, keeping in mind his hurt ribs. Everyone joined in as Lennox marched out of the room looking for the Witwickys. Optimus excused himself, Bee set Mikaela down next to Sam and followed Optimus into the room next door.

Barricade had come out of recharge to discover the little phonebot absence. He looked over at the door, making out the shape of Ironhide behind it, who was tinkering with his cannons. He assumed that Dials left to find Tyrell. He twisted at the cuffs, wondering what the Autobots were going to do with him, not that it mattered much anymore anyway. Megatron was dead, along with most of the Decepticon forces. Starscream escaped like the coward he was.

Cade let his thoughts wander to Frenzy, he had heard nothing from the little 'con for days. He would be lying if he said he wasn't worried. Frenzy had been his partner for vorns. Barricade often thought of him as a little brother, Frenzy like him never wanted to be a Decepticon either. The sound of the door opening brought Cade back from his musing. In front of him stood Optimus Prime flanked by Bumblebee and Ironhide. Barricade knew that even standing there still, Prime was ten times the mech Megatron would ever be.

He waited patiently as Optimus stood their studying him, he forced his eyes from straying away from the Autobot leader to look at Bumblebee.

Oh, Bumblebee, they had been the best of friends before the war, as close as Twins. Barricade joining the 'Cons because of his father had torn the two apart. They had face each other many times on battle field, and had fought fiercely. But they had always let the other live instead of ending the other. He snapped back to the present when Optimus began to speak.

"Tyrell's awake, Ratchet says he's defianly going to be okay, also Dials is with him," said Optimus with a soft smile, Bumblebee's eyes seemed to bore into him. Barricade didn't say anything. Prime continued. "He told us everything, I understand that you wont be able to return to the Decepticons. I would like to offer you a place amongst us. You wouldn't have to be an Autobot, you can become a Neutral if that is your wish." With that Prime stepped forward and gently removed the cuffs from Barricade wrist.

Barricade was shocked by Prime's actions. He looked at the three mechs before him. Ironhide seemed to be in shock, a dark look on his face. Optimus was calm and just looked at Barricade, waiting for an answer. Cade looked at Bumblebee, who was looking at him with a hopeful expression. Barricade suddenly felt like a youngling again, debating with Bee on which side to choose, he remembered what he said finally. "Bee, I promise that when the time comes we'll both join up with the Autobots." These long forgotten words began to bounce around in Cade's head.

Ironhide watched the mech before him make-up his mind. He couldn't help but notice the hopeful expression in Bee's face. Why would Bee look that way, it was common knowledge that Bee hated the mech before him for some reason. Now he looked like it was his greatest wish that Barricade would join them. Something changed in Barricade's face as he looked at Bee, then he mumbled something. Ironhide caught the two words 'slagging promise'. Bumblebee heard it also and his body shook with silent laughter. Then Cade looked at Prime.

"I once made a promise, as much as I would love to be neutral, I must say I'll become an Autobot."

Ironhide felt his mouth pop open, Bumblebee whistled and whirled happily. Optimus looked at Ironhide and chuckled, gently pushing his jaw back into place, Barricade snickered. Optimus looked back at Barricade.

"I'm glad that you have decided on joining us. I believe that Tyrell would like to see you" He soon left the room along with Ironhide, leaving Bumblebee and Barricade alone. An uncomfortable silence filled the air. Cade kept his optics glued to the floor, beginning to walk around Bee to go into the med bay. He stopped when he felt a hand on his shoulder. He reluctantly turned and looked Bumblebee in the eyes. He had a soft smile on his face plates and in a voice Barricade though he would never hear again he said. "Its nice to be on the same side again."

Bee then walked past Cade into the med-bay. Cade was to stunned to move for a second, before he followed Bee into the med-bay.

He saw Jazz standing by the table talking to Tyrell.

"I wanted to thank-you for saving me. If you hadn't, the Jazz-man would have been in two pieces." All the bots present knew that Jazz was very serious, he didn't even speak with his accent.

"Your welcome" came the soft reply. Barricade continued forward until he was next to Jazz looking down at Tyrell. Ty's eyes looked up at him, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Hey Barricade"

"Tyrell" before he could say anything else he felt a something hit his head with a large clang. He turned slowly to gaze into the eyes of a very pissed off Ratchet, who had another wrench in his hand.

"Would you please explain why you didn't say anything about Tyrell or Dials."

Barricade wasn't about to be bullied by the medic. "You didn't ask,"

Jazz and Bee backed away as one of Ratchet's optics began to short, making it look like it was twitching.

"I didn't ask" he said icily.

"Yes, and if you had a scanner in that wrench throwing head of yours, you would have known that Dials was under Tyrell's gurney the whole ride from Mission City."

Jazz clamped a hand on his mouth to keep from laughing, beside Ironhide, no one dared to reprimand the Autobot medic.

Tyrell knew that things were about to get ugly, and he did the only thing that he could do. He groaned, which immediately brought Ratchet's attention back to Tyrell.

"Ratchet it hurts" Ratchet turned his back to Tyrell getting some pain medication. Barricade looked at Tyrell worriedly, when the human turned to him and deliberately blinked an eye at him. Barricade looked up the meaning. He realized that Tyrell was faking his pain to save him from Ratchets wrath. He shook his head, stupid little slagger. He heard Jazz chuckle and looked to see the saboteur smiling at him. He looked back at Tyrell, taking notice of Sam for the first time, the other organic Mikaela was sitting next to him. He was looking at Barricade, with just a hint of fear, but overall a sense of gratitude.

"Um, Thanks Barricade for saving my brothers life" he said.

Barricade looked at the teen, whom earlier that week he had tried to kidnap. His day was just full of surprises as he nodded a the boy. He was distracted when he heard yelling coming from the doorway. A loud female voice was echoing down the hallways. Every Autobot in the room turned towards the door.

"Your all in trouble know, you have invoked the wrath of Judy Witwicky," said Tyrell from behind the mechs.

The yelling came closer, the mechs had never imagined that an organic could be so loud, they all cringed as the door opened.

"HOW COULD YOU TELL US THAT OUR SON WAS DEAD, AND NOW SAY THAT HE IS ALIVE!" yelled at Judy at a beaten down Lennox, who was supporting a handkerchief to his head. When Lennox had told them the news, Judy had snapped out of her surprise and happiness at the news to whack Lennox upside the head with her purse before going into an rage fit.

"Mrs. Witwicky, we didn't know. His face is so torn up, it was impossible for the Autobots to make identification. I know Tyrell and that why it took so long for someone to find out. I would never tell you your son was dead and then the next second tell you he's alive for the fun of it" stated Lennox.

Before Judy could say a comeback, Sam called from the table.

"Mom, stop yelling, its not helping Ty."

Judy closed her mouth and marched towards the table, Ron running to catch up. The 'bots backed away as Judy came to the table, climbing the stairs to her sons. As soon as she reach the top, the waterworks started. She looked at Tyrell taking in all the cuts, cast, and bruises and finally understood why it took everyone awhile to identify her son. She could hardly recognized him, as she went forward and sat next to him.

Tyrell smiled at his mother, "Hey mom"

"Hey baby," said Judy, combing Ty's hair off his face smiling through her tears, Ron sat down next to them, blinking away a few tears.

Well that's the end of Chapter Nine. I will probably write one more chapter to this story. I pretty sure that I will write a squeal. Thanks for reading! Please review
