WARNING: Character death

CHAPTER 27

Sam had heard the explosion. He had panicked and separated from Nightfire when they were running to the old factory. The explosion sounded like a bomb so he thought that the military was dropping bombs to help the Autobots out. Sam slowly moved out of the building he was hiding in, and what he seen completely shocked him. The factory that Nightfire was to be hiding in was destroyed. "Night!" he screamed, as he ran to that direction. "Night!"

As Sam got closer, he noticed a bright blue light that was acting as some sort of shield. Sam ran at the shield and it disappeared quickly and when it did he found Nightfire barely alive. The Allspark pulsed blue several times before melting into a metal puddle. Sam didn't understand how that happened but his concern was for his friend, he moved some of the rumble away and found out his friend had been shot twice. "Hold on," Sam said to his unconscious friend. "You'll be okay."

"Sam!" he heard his name being yelled. "Sam!"

Sam turned around to see Lennox and Epps running towards them. Thank God, Sam sighed in a bit of relief that the older men were there with him to help with Nightfire. "Lennox! Epps!"

The older men finally reached him. "What happened?" Lennox asked as him and Epps climbed up the pieces of the building.

"Nightfire and I separated. Someone shot him twice."

"Shot?" Lennox stared at Sam.

Epps moved closer and his heart sank when he saw the unconscious boy, laying in his blood and the rumble. He knelt down beside the boy, checking his pulse. "His pulse is weak."

Lennox felt many emotions hitting him at once. Anger, sadness, anxiety, nervous but the one that took over the most was determination. He wasn't going to let the boy die. Not now, not today. So he prayed that someone would here him. "Prowl! Jazz!"

Ratchet and Bumblebee had finally made it to the base and straight into the medbay. Bumblebee had put Smokescreen on the medberth, while Ratchet was scrambling quickly for the tools he needed. "Bee, get the energon bag and hook it up." Bee rushed to go do what he was ordered. " Hook it up and put the IV need in his arm. He lost too much blood already."

"M-my Creators…" Smokescreen tried to get his sentence out.

"They know," Bee said. "They showed up when Ratchet was leaving with you. They told me to go while they handled the Decepticons." Bee hooked up the energon bag and put it in Smokescreen's arm, while Ratchet was quickly hooking up the Vital machine.

Ratchet handed Bee morphine, telling him where to give and to hook it up. "S-sam? Night…fire?" Smokescreen asked, needing to know if the boys were okay. If Nightfire was okay.

Bee didn't say anything basically indicating that he didn't even know how they were doing. But if he was dead they would have heard about Prowl's and Jazz's rampage. Ratchet put the oxygen mask on the scout. "They'll be fine," he said, to ease his worries before he slipped into a sleep so Ratchet could do his job.

Ratchet looked at Bee. "You can sit out if you want."

Bee shocked his head. "I have been paying attention to what you've been teaching."

Ratchet nodded. "Good." He grabbed a knife. "Keep an eye on his vitals for me."

Prowl had felt his spark pulse violently and the violent effect of the Creator/ Creation bond being ripped. He stopped fighting and grabbed his spark and he felt his son's spark slowly dying and his spark-mate crying in desperation. Optimus was busy fighting against Megatron and he noticed Prowl from the corner of his optic, clenching his chest, not knowing Thundercracker had his gun aimed. Optimus punched, shot and threw Megatron to the side before firing at Thundercracker and tossing him as well. "Prowl?" Optimus asked, worried.

Prowl didn't say anything. "PROWL!" Jazz screamed for his mate, running towards him and Optimus. "Nightfire. Somethings wrong." Jazz was frantic. It was a long time since Prime had seen his TIC frantic.

Optimus opened his comm link. :Autobots fall back: "Go,I'm going to cover you both."

Jazz nodded and grabbed Prowl, running towards their son. Optimus was behind them, he had fired several more shots at Megatron and Thundercracker, to make sure they stayed down until they were out of their sight. Prime, Prowl and Jazz were frantically running when they heard shouting from Lennox, calling for Prowl and Jazz. When they came into view, they noticed a building collapsed, three organics- Lennox, Epps and Sam- covered in sweat, looking desperate. Jazz and Prowl got closer to get an optic on their mechling and what they seen broke their sparks.

"What happened?" Prime asked, as he got an optic on Nightfire.

"We got separated," Sam said. "There was an explosion, I found him like this. Shot. And the Allspark pulsed a few times before melting." He pointed at the metal puddle that used to be the Allspark.

: Optimus to First Aid, we need assistance.:

: I'm close by. I'm on my way. First Aid out: the young medic replied. Immediately, First Aid had showed up and went to Nightfire. The young medic checked him, he used a digit to carefully lift up Nightfire's shirt. "He's not leaking blood, it's energon."

First Aid transformed into an ambulance. "Load him up. Lennox, Epps your with me. Sam join Prime. Jazz and Prowl stick close to me."

Lennox and Epps carefully picked up Nightfire and went in the ambulance. Jazz and Prowl transformed and stayed close as they rushed back to base. Sam joined Optimus and followed close behind.

Lennox held Nightfire's hand as Epps put pressure on the stomach wound. Lennox patted his hand. "You'll be okay."

And he hoped his words were true.

Megatron got up. He was leaking energon and was dented but not to be considered as life threatening. Prime had taken off with his two Commanders somewhere, he was a bit mad that he wasn't able to kill the Prime this time. Thundercracker got up, his wing was dented and that meant he wasn't going to be able to fly for a bit. Megatron stared at the Seeker before turning away, he was angry. Something was wrong. Something was wrong with the Allspark. It was like his hope for his home, for his rule to take over Cybertron was gone.

"Lord Megatron," came a whiny voice that can only belong to Starscream. He had Barricade in stasis cuffs, not only that but Soundwave and his team had Knockout and Breakdown in stasis cuffs as well. Thundercracker wAwalked join the conversation. He looked at the fellow Decepticons and didn't see Blackout with them, a little fear came through his spark but if he was hurt or dead he would have felt it. So he hoped he wasn't captured. "Knockout and Breakdown attacked Soundwave and his team, letting go two Autobots escape. Barricade attacked me and a few others. "

Megatron looked at the three Decepticons,, not sure if he was impressed that they went against their own or he was extremely pissed.

"Shall we exterminate them?" Starscream asked, hoping that he could be the one to do it.

Megatron looked at Barricade whom just had they growl on his face plate, then to Knockout whom looked worried but for a different reason and Breakdown, looked like he was ready to fight. All three had exceptional skills in the Decepticons, it was a hard decision to make. "Through Breakdown and Barricade in the brig. Supervise Knockout I want him to help Hook with helping the injured, after he's done throw him in the brig." Megatron turned away from the others. "I will decide their fate after." He walked away.

First Aid zoomed past every Autobot to get inside the base. He opened his doors for Lennox and Epps to get out, then he transformed, making sure Nightfire was in his servos. He rushed in the medbay with the young boy and found that his Sire and Bumblebee was working on Smokescreen. His Sire looked at him then to Nightfire, with a heavy spark, Ratchet turned to Bee. "Quickly grab Wheel jack and Perceptor."

Bee nodded and ran out.

"He's been shot twice; one in the chest and one in the abdomen," First Aid quickly informed, knowing that was the reason why his Sire kicked Bee out for the moment. "There was a fire, an explosion but the Allspark saved his life from that." First Aid got a bag of energon and hooked it up to the boy. "He's leaking energon, not blood." Then he hooked up the Vital machine. "His pulse is weak."

"Once Perceptor and Wheel jack gets in here, I'll help you."

First Aid put the boy on morphine that was called for a boy his age and height and weight needed, also had the oxygen mask on him. He quickly gathered his tools. "I doubt it. Many need repairs."

The medbay doors slide opened, hurrying in was Wheeljack, Perceptor and Bumblebee. Wheeljack looked at Smokescreen and Nightfire. "What do you need us to do?"

"Perceptor I need you to go and fix the others," Ratchet said, as he tried to get the piece of a sword out of Smokescreen but it was wedged in good to one of his lines. Perceptor nodded, he grabbed several tools before making his way out. "Bee, help him. Inform Prowl and Jazz that we are working on Nightfire as well as Smokescreen. I will come out once we are done." Bee nodded, going to join Perceptor. "Wheeljack, I need help getting a piece of a sword out of Smokescreen so I can close his line."

Wheeljack walked hurried over and grabbed the extractor while Ratchet cleaned the wound and holding light so Wheeljack could see. First Aid had taken off Nightfire's clothes so he can see the wounds better. He was being careful and calm as he started to perform the surgery on the boys abdomen. That was the wound that was bleeding the most and that was one he had to take care of first. So he did. He had successfully took out the bullet and now was repairing that before he did the chest, until something caught his optic. He looked closely to find that underneath the flesh was his Cybertronian form. "Sire."

Ratchet looked up. Wheeljack had pulled out the sword piece and was stitching Smokescreen up, Ratchet ran over to his son. When the older medic looked down he was shocked. "If we can peel the flesh away…."

"Wouldn't that hurt him?" First Aid asked.

Ratchet shrugged, not sure. He tried it though and the boys vitals jumped high enough to give a bot a spark attack. Ratchet stopped, and the boy's vitals slowly went down. "We will find another way." He helped his son with Nightfire.

It took a couple of hours to keep the two patients stable. Perceptor had comm Ratchet asking for any news about Nightfire and Smokescreen since the entire army wanted to know, especially the organics. Ratchet had told him for now he wasn't going to give word that they were stable but they were indeed alive. Perceptor told everyone what Ratchet told him before giving his creations an energon cube and joining his spark mate and the two medics in the medbay.

It was eerily silent in the medbay. Ratchet stood by his mechling, giving his son an energon cube to refill and Wheeljack sat near Smokescreen watching his vitals go up and down. Ratchet wasn't letting any bot in, and Prowl and Jazz were getting to antsy but he understands why. All of a sudden there was a loud noise coming from Smokescreen's Vital machine, the same thing to Nightfire's. Ratchet and First Aid tried to stabilize the boy while Wheeljack and Perceptor tried with Smokescreen.

-transition-

Wheeljack had his hands in his servos as Perceptor tried to comfort him. First Aid didn't move or do anything,, he was like a statue. Ratchet sighed. He helped his son to take a seat before he passed out. Giving a spark felt sigh, Ratchet went out of the medbay to talk to the army and the organics. When he came out of the medbay every single optic, every single organic looked at him.

"I'm sorry."
