Various! Transformers: Animated Series x Princess! Robot! Oc Insert (Discont.)

Serenity lay in pain on the sidewalk, her chest plate open from the blast, revealing all of her damages. "Serenity...", Optimus whispered, getting on his knees, holding her to his chest.

She only groaned in response. Ratchet then got on the other side of her.

"What is her status?", Optimus asked, still not letting go. "Bad! Her CPU is fried. Her capacitor has suffered major damage and her spark as well had suffered major damage.", Ratchet informed.

"But, we don't have Sari's key!", Bulkhead started to panic. "I don't need a key to do my job!", Ratchet snapped.

"It will be okay, Bulkhead. Ratchet knows what he's doing.", Harvester said, trying to calm down her crush. Ratchet then tried to take Serenity from Optimus, but he refused to let go.

This is when his team members stepped up for their leader. "Optimus, she will be okay.", Prowl said, kneeling beside him.

"Yeah, the doc bot won't let anything happen.", Bumblebee agreed, as Optimus finally relinquished his hold and Serenity and gave her over to Ratchet. As she laid in front of Ratchet, he once again slipped into his past.

Ratchet walked through the war-torn planet, passing dead comrades, as he went until he found what he had been looking for. Omega Supreme, laying on the hill.

His chest having an exposed hole, as well as his leg. Ratchet opened the doors, as he got in.

"Ratchet, this that you?", Omega asked, painfully. "It's me.", Ratchet said, opening up his spark chamber.

"I can feel my spark fading.", Omega said. "I know, I need to put you in a modified status until we can get you fixed up. Can you still transform?", Ratchet asked.

"I-I think so...", Omega said, transforming into the ship. Ratchet then started working on Omega.

"You taught me to protect like an Autobot. But, all I did was destroy like a Decepticon.", Omega said, sorrowfully. "We do what we must. Even if sometimes it doesn't make sense.", Ratchet explained.

"I-I don't understand.", Omega said. "I'm not sure if I do either. Just rest now, friend. You've earned it.", Ratchet said, powering off Omega Supreme.

"You okay, Ratchet?", Harvester asked. Ratchet looked up into the worried expressions of his team.

Without answering, he began to work on Serenity. His servo's were shaking, until Harvester grabbed them.

"Your servos are shaking.", Harvester pointed out. "Between you and me, I'm a little rusty at this.", Ratchet said, keeping his head down, afraid that Optimus would see his uncertainty.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine.", Ratchet continued. Harvester looked back at the rest of her team.

"I'll stay here with Ratchet. To help in any way I can.", Harvester said. The loud destructive sound was heard, as Sari continued her panicked rampage.

"And I thought I was clumsy.", Bulkhead said, as he elbowed him. "We have to get that key.", Optimus said.

"I told you I'm fine!", Ratchet shouted out, still not looking up. "I know that, Ratchet. But, if the key is what is overloading Sari's circuits, removing that power source could shut her down.", Optimus finished.

"R-Right! Sorry about that, Prime.", Ratchet said. "Just take care of Serenity. We'll do the rest.", Optimus said, as he looked down once last time of the love of his life.

"Transform and roll out!", Optimus commanded. Sari screamed, as she ran into the cars, creating damage where ever she went.

"We'll never get that key if we don't slow her down first.", Optimus pointed out. "Autobots, follow me!", Optimus continued.
