Torn Chapter 4

After waking, up I walked over to the wash racks. The hot sudsy water felt good on my circuits. When I was done washing up, I grabbed a fluffy towel and dried off. My armor was back to a sparkling sheen. Then Ratchet shoved an energon cube into my hands.

"Your energon levels are low. You need to pay attention to that or else you will end up in the medbay again," he said gruffly but his eyes said concern.

"Thank you Ratchet," I said as I took a sip of the blue-green liquid.

"You're welcome Circuit."

I had about a fourth of the cube left when an alarm went off.

"What is that?" I asked Optimus. He was the first bot to respond.

"Decepticons. Autob-"

"Optimus," I interrupted, "May I go with you guys?"

He thought for a moment. "Yes you may. You have proven yourself to be a strong warrior. Autobots, roll out."

Ratchet opened the ground bridge and we walked through. When we came out on the other side, we all quickly armed ourselves and dashed for cover. We were somewhere with large mountains and many trees. The sun was shining high in the sky. It would have been gorgeous if we were not being shot at.

"Oh look, a new Autobot to scrap," KnockOut teased.

BreakDown nodded in agreement and transformed his right servo into his signature hammer. "It is hammer time!" He yelled as he dashed forward.

"Circuit Breaker! Look out!" BumbleBee called out but it was too late. The hammer met its mark and Circuit went flying.

BreakDown's POV

The name seemed so familiar. I paused after I hit the femme trying to figure out where I had heard it. Then it hit me. I had just hit my daughter.
