Bumblebee stared at Sideswipe's head with mild disturbance, "Sideswipe. Are you alright?"
Sideswipe sent a light glare towards the other, "Yeah I'm just gonna pass on that question.. and just find a way to fix me!" Watching as Bee jumped back at his small outburst.
"Fixit, can you?" Fixit moved over to the jar, inspecting it before lifting it up. Ignoring Sideswipes yells. "The platform you're on, well your head is on anyways, is refreshing your energon but it's not meant for long time use. We need to retrieve your body back. And fast."
Sideswipe gaped before looking downwards.
Bumblebee frowns, "Why would he want Sideswipe alive, Fixit."
"Doctor Freak show said he was worried about cybergraphting wouldn't take or something like that. Thought he might need to extract more of some enzymes or something." Sides sighed "From the way he ran out of here with my legs, I'll probably never see the rest of me again. I'm useless like this."
"Don't say that, you're a vital part of our team." Bee attempted to counter.
"What am I going to do? Head-butt their feet? I can't even move! I'm not going to be much help."
"You know what you're capable of, we'll get through this."
"And once we get your body back I might be able to reattach your head with these notes I found." Fixit piped up with some paper in his servos. "Keyword, might. I might need a little more time to understand these. Or a lot of time."
"You know what, Fixit. Take that time. We'll be back." Bumblebee picked up the jar with Sides' head inside as he stood up.
Bumblebee walks out of the hidden room and back into the train tunnels. All while Sides had a frown over his face.
Break
Bumblebee ran down one of the many train tunnels as he commed his other members of the team, :: Strongarm, Sideswipe and I are on our way. Hang on.::
"What's the point, no one can take my body on, not even with that freak in charge of it. I'm in no shape to help." Sideswipe muttered as he was being jostled by Bee's running.
"If your body is so great, your head has to be worth something." Bumblebee shook his head as he kept running. Reaching cross intersection.
"There! Over there!" Sides groaned, "Right I can't point. Great, Bee to your left!"
"Strongarm!" Bumblebee quickly ran over to his fallen friend, kneeling down beside her as he placed the jar down on the ground. Before helping Strongarm to sit up.
"Ugh, Vertebreak must have knocked me out." Strongarm spoke as she rubbed her head, her optics widening when she caught sight of Sideswipe.
"Yello?" Sideswipe grinned towards the femme. "Maybe I should have given you a heads up?"
"Hey Sideswipe, looking good." Strongarm slowly responded.
"Where's Grimlock?" Bee butted in between their conversation.
"A train hit him, I tried to help him but I.." Strongarm got cut off by a series of noises coming down the tunnels.
"Grab Sideswipe and follow me." Bumble transformed into his alt mode and sped off.
Leaving Strongarm to quickly stand up and pick up the jar carefully but held the jar arm's length away from herself.
"I'm not contagious you know?!" Sides pointed out while Strongarm took slow steps in the direction Bumblebee had left in.
Break
Bumblebee drove down the tunnels to come up to Grimlock trying to retrain Vertebreak without damaging Sideswipe's body. Shifting back into his bipedal mode as he ran towards the two. Strongarm coming up behind him, "I'll go high you go low."
"I'll be back." Strongarm set the jar down as she took off to help her team mates.
"I'll just stay here, you watch out for trains or something." Sides called out softly, "So much for being part of the team."
Bumblebee attempted to throw a swing at the back of Vertebreak's head, only to have the mech drop down and avoid not only his attack but Strongarm's as well.
"Hey remember not to hurt my body!" Sides winced as he watched his allies try to subdue his own body. Watching Grimlock get a swift kick to the jaw, "C'mon Grimlock! He was practically waving a flag at you!"
Grimlock gaping as he caught a glance at Sides' head just floating in the jar on the ground.
While another two kicks from Vertebreak sent both Bumblebee and Strongarm down to the ground. "Heh, I though all of you would out up more of a fight, I guess not. Well this was fun but I gotta go." Turning Vertebreak was met with a black fist to his face and was sent down onto the floor next to the rest of the Autobots.
Bumblebee quickly stumbled back up and moved into a fighting stance while Strongarm did the same, "Who are you? Why did you just save us?"
The golden mech lifted his head to look at Bee before giving out a snort and inspecting his own knuckles for any new scratches, "I didn't do it for you, or for you either femme. But is someone going to explain why that..thing is in Sideswipe's frame or am I going to have to force someone to?"
Bee frowned and lifted his hands up, "We aren't the bad guys here, we are just trying to get Sideswipe's frame back so one of our allies can try and fix him. Alright?"
Grimlock walked up to the group with the jar in his hands.
"Hey Sunshine! What are you doing here?!" Sides grinned as he looked up at the mech.
"It's Sunstreaker." Sunstreaker tapped the jar lightly, "Even as just a head you're annoying as ever Sides." Turning his attention back to Bumblebee, "You better fix him before I hurt one of you."
"Alright, let's get Vertebreak to Fixit and see what he can do." Bumblebee watched as Strongarm took the jar and Grimlock picked up the unconscious frame of Vertebreak.

Sorry it's short this time, things got caught up. I'll work on a much longer chapter next time. One to two weeks max for the next chapter. Thank you for the reviews everyone!
