The return of a lost friend Part 5

Meanwhile back at the base Jack, Miko, Raf and Smokescreen were all walking around and were really nervous since the others haven't contacted them yet.

"You think Arcee is okay?" Jack asked with worry.

"Think Bulkhead is okay?" Miko asked the same thing since she was worried for her favorite wrecker.

"You think Bee is okay?" Raf asked the same thing as he was worried for Bumblebee.

"You think the team is okay?" Smokescreen asked since he was worried for the team that hadn't returned yet.

"If something was wrong, Arcee would've called." Jack said as he was on the verge of biting his nails.

"If something was wrong, Bulkhead would've called." Miko was close to pulling her hair.

"If something was wrong, Bee would've called." Raf fiddled with his fingers while looking at the comm.

"If something was wrong, Optimus would've called. Whoa, wait a minute. Why are we saying the same things?" Smokescreen stopped when he noticed the same questions were being asked with different reasons though he got to admit, it was comical.

"Don't know. It might be because we are nervous." Jack laughs nervously as he stops.

"I'm not nervous. Are you?" Miko ran before looking at Raf who was taken by surprise.

"A little. A lot actually." Raf groaned as they all knew that they were feeling the same thing.

"I think we're all nervous." Smokescreen leaned against the railing as the kids sat down.

"It's funny I haven't been like that ever since the first day." Jack said as he thought back when he first met Arcee and how his life changed.

"Remember how it was, Jack?" Rad asked him since he remembered it like it was only yesterday as Jack nodded.

"Do I? I could never forget. It was a regular boring day at Jasper Nevada. And then I met her, beautiful, elegant but with a secret. Turns out that this beautiful motorcycle was an alien robot disguised as a motorcycle. I found out about that the hard way. Cons were chasing us." Jack told them what happened that day as Raf nodded.

"And then out of nowhere, you and Arcee made an amazing jump." Raf made a motion with his hands to show how amazing it was.

"Yeah... and then the cons came out. On that day, we bear witness to what they can do." Jack rubs the back of his head as he continues.

"I remember clearly how it was. It was scary." Raf shuddered since he and Jack almost got their almost near death experience as Smokescreen looked at Raf.

"Sorry to hear that." Smokescreen said as Raf smiled up to him.

"That's not all. The next day, Bee and Arcee came to get us. Arcee told me that me and Raf were one of the few people who ever saw them. That's until..." Jack trailed off since Miko grinned.

"Until I joined them." Miko added energetically as Jack shook his head at her.

"Joined? More like followed." Jack said as Miko just stuck her tongue out at him playfully.

"Same thing." Miko grinned as Jack grinned back.

"That's how our adventures with the Autobots started." Jack finished explaining as Smokescreen had to whistle since that experience will be unforgettable.

"Yeah... Well, I just hope Optimus and the others are fine." Smokescreen couldn't help but worry for his team and was wondering what was going on.

They perk up when the computer starts beeping, meaning that someone is trying to communicate with the base.

"Ratchet to base, do you hear me?" It was Ratchet but they could hear shooting in the background.

"It's Ratchet." Jack looked at the three as they were relieved that they were okay.

"I hear you, Ratchet. What's up?" Smokescreen approached the computer as Ratchet began to explain the situation.

"We're surrounded by Decepticons. Optimus requires your help. You must open the ground bridge to come and help us. I repeat. We require your h-" Static came on before Ratchet could even finish.

"Ratchet? Ratchet?" Smokescreen cursed when he didn't get a response.

Back at the Energon mine, it was total chaos as everyone was fighting each other.

"Smokescreen? Smokescreen? Scrap. Too much interference. At least Smokescreen knows what to do." Ratchet said as Emily was standing beside him while shooting at some cons with her plasma cannons.

"I just hope he comes fast. We could really use some help." Emily said as she shot down a con that tried to get close.

"Yeah, I can't seem to hit our big bird up there." Wheeljack said since he wasn't able to hit Soundwave.

Back at the base, Smokescreen was getting ready as he stood before the ground bridge.

"I've gotta go help. Raf, can you upload the coordinates?" Smokescreen said as Raf nodded and typed in the coordinates that Ratchet put.

"I am. Activating the ground bridge now." Raf said as the levers lowered and the ground bridge came on and the portal appeared as Smokescreen got ready.

"Stay here. I'll be right back with the others." Smokescreen looked at the trio who nodded.

Smokescreen ran to the portal before transforming and drove through the portal to reach the others.

Meanwhile the Autobots were all trying to defend their positions and counter attack the Decepticons.

"Take that!" Bulkhead exclaimed as he smashed a Decepticon with his mace.

"Good one, Bulk." Wheeljack sliced one in half with his swords.

Decepticons were trying to approach the Autobots but for now they're able to repel the enemy until Smokescreen arrives.

"Come here, Bulkhead. Let's see what you got." Breakdown came running towards Bulkhead with his hammer ready.

Breakdown tries to attack Bulkhead, but he was able to stop him and hold him down with his strength and Wheeljack saw this.

"Bulkhead!" Wheeljack started to run towards him to help but he halted when both Starscream and Dreadwing landed in front of him.

"Not so fast, Wheeljack." Starscream said sinisterly since he hasn't forgotten what he did last time with Makeshift.

"You want some more huh, Screamy?" Wheeljack got into a fighting stance as he got ready.

"Fool, you can't hope to stop us." Dreadwing grinned but it was wiped clean when a plasma shot the ground near his pedes as Emily came up beside Wheeljack.

"Allow me to prove you wrong, Wingy." She taunted as she made her plasma cannons disappear before she made her Sword of Creation appear in her hands.

She then helps Wheeljack to fight off Starscream and Dreadwing. She's to successfully hold them down when suddenly a ground bridge opened up and she started to grin.

"Here comes the cavalry." She said as she pushed the two seekers off and jumped out of the way as something or someone was coming in fast.

From the ground bridge, Smokescreen in his vehicle mode comes out with maximum speed. He starts driving with such speeds while taking down some Decepticons on the way. He transformed back to his robot form before jumping while shooting some Decepticons. He then lands where the others are as he gets ready.

"So what did I miss?" Smokescreen playfully asked as Emily grinned at him and gripped her sword tightly as a couple of cons surrounded them.

"Not much." Emily said before she slashed one of the cons as Megatron watched this from where he was standing.

"How hard is it to destroy eight Autobots?!" He growled in frustration before he joined the fight. Optimus sees this and stops him with an Energon shot from his guns.

"I won't let you destroy us." Optimus switched his guns for his sword as Megatron did the same.

"We shall see about that, Optimus." Megatron sneered at him before they both started to fight each other with their swords.

Emily sees them fighting and decides to help Optimus out but for that, she would have to get rid of Dreadwing first.

"You're in my way." She glared at him as he smirked down at her.

"And what are you planning to do about it?" He sneered as she got ready.

"This." Emily told him before she rushed towards him.

Emily then rushes towards Dreadwing as he swings his sword at her but she avoids it while grabbing one of his bombs. She threw it while switching her right hand to her cannons before shooting out a plasma shot which created an explosion that knocked Dreadwing out and allowed her to go help Optimus fight Megatron.

"Megatron!" Emily yelled with the same amount of hatred she had after their first fight.

Both Megatron and Optimus were at a standstill and turned to see that Emily was coming in to help Optimus before Megatron turned to Optimus and knowing that something would ticked him off.

"The human pest really thinks she can help you. When I'm done with you, I'll destroy her in front of you." This made something in Optimus snap as he glared heatedly at Megatron as he started pushing against him with renewed strength. He won't let Megatron lay a single claw on Emily.

Optimus starts pushing harder as Emily comes in and swings her sword at Megatron who blocks it. Optimus helps her out but Megatron is able to stop them both and pushes them away. Optimus is down as he struggles to get up but Emily is able to get up as she grips her sword tightly while standing in front of Optimus protectively.

"Time to see who's the better warrior here." She gritted her teeth at him as he sneered.

"As you wish, my dear." Megatron sneered as they both rushed towards each other.

Both of them started fighting in a combat of swords as Emily is able to hold Megatron. But thanks to his brute strength, he was able to push Emily hard to the ground as she let out a groan. She slowly got up when suddenly her sword started glowing rapidly before she saw the same glow coming from Cliffjumper's spark chamber.

"Please... help me... get out of this... darkness."

Emily heard his voice calling out and she realized what her sword was trying to say but couldn't help but wonder if she was right.

"Could it be?" She whispered as she thought on what to do before coming to a decision. If the sword wants her to do it, then she will.

"It's worth a try. Guys, I need you to cover me!" She called out to her friends to help her with something.

Bulkhead, who's holding Breakdown down, heard what she said and wondered what she needed to cover for.

"What for?" Bulkhead called back as much as he wanted to help, he had to keep Breakdown down.

"There's something I need to do." She said as she started to run to Cliffjumper's corpse as Smokescreen ran up to her to help.

"Go ahead! I'll cover for you!" Smokescreen said as he shot down a con as Bumblebee came up beside him as he beeped and Smokescreen knew that he wanted to help.

"Thanks, Bee. Let's do this." The two nodded to each other before both Autobots started shooting at some incoming cons to provide Emily some cover.

Wheeljack was holding Starscream down when suddenly Dreadwing came in. He was able to hold them off but he won't be able to hold them for much longer.

"Kid, whatever your plan is, make it quick! I won't be able to hold them off any longer!" Wheeljack started to fight more intensely against the two seekers.

Ratchet was fighting off some cons that were closing in. When one of them was about to shoot him, Arcee shot it down and saved him as Ratchet looked to see that Arcee was up but was still wounded.

"Arcee? What in the name of the Allspark do you think you're doing?!" Ratchet asked her worriedly as she gritted her dentas and glanced at him.

"I'm fighting a battle. That's what I'm doing." Arcee told him as Ratchet knew that she wasn't healed yet.

"Are you crazy? You can barely stand!" Ratchet retorted but she gave him a small glare.

"Yeah, well, if we stand here and do nothing we won't leave this place." Ratchet knew that there was no stopping her and she was right.

Airachnid then appears and is surprised to see that Arcee is still alive but not for long.

"I see you're still alive. This time I'll make sure that there's nothing left to repair." Airachnid laughed evilly as Ratchet stood in front of Arcee.

"Over my lifeless shell." Ratchet growled at her but she wasn't phased by it.

"So be it." Airachnid hissed before attacking the medic bot.

Airachnid rushes straight at Ratchet as he prepared his blades and starts fighting her to protect Arcee from harm but she was too stubborn to obey the doctor so she decides to help Ratchet fight Airachnid and this worried Ratchet as he noticed the energon that was leaking from her wound.

"Don't do this, Arcee. You'll lose Energon." Ratchet said as Arcee gritted her dentals from the pain but ignored it as Airachnid chuckled sinisterly.

"The doctor is right. You should not fight me like this." Airachnid hissed as Arcee glared at her.

"It doesn't matter whether I can or can't fight... I won't allow you to touch anyone." Arcee glared more at her as she just shrugged off her threat.

"Have it your way." She pushed Ratchet away before she rushed to Arcee, who was covering her wound with one servo while fighting her with the other one.

Meanwhile Emily was getting ready to use her Sword of Creation as both the sword and the Spark chamber of Cliffjumper started glowing pulsing as if they were attracting each other. Emily then raised her sword in the air as it started to glow brightly. Everyone saw this and noticed how the light coming from it was really bright and were forced to cover their optics before she suddenly fused her Sword with Cliffjumper's spark and reignited the once dead spark and just like that there was a big explosion of light that nearly blinded them all. The explosion created a big smoke and also a shockwave that threw them all off their pedes and everybody was down but were slowly getting back up. Starscream got up and saw that Arcee was close to him as he chuckled evilly and approached her.

"Arcee. How fitting to have you here in front of me. Defenseless and on the brink of death." He told her as she struggled to get up while covering her wound.

"I'm not scared of you, Starscream." Arcee glared weakly at him as she was losing her strength.

"Then let me help you rejoin you with your lost partner." He told her sinisterly.

"Starscream!" Airachnid called to him heatedly as she struggled to get up but the explosion damaged her greatly.

"Don't you dare touch her, she's mine." She hissed heatedly as she fell back down on the ground.

"Forgive me, dear Airachnid. But I think that it's best if I kill the one Autobot that you couldn't kill." Starscream told her as he raised his claws and prepared to finish Arcee off as she closed her optics and awaited her fate.

"Say hello to Cliffjumper for me." He said with a sinister glint in his optics.

When Strarscream was just about to kill her, someone shot him as it threw him away from Arcee who opened her optics in surprise. Starscream got up after the shot and wondered who it was.

"Who is this?!" Starscream wondered with frustration before he saw a strange figure standing in the smoke.

"Show yourself!" Starscream exclaimed as everyone followed his gaze to the smoke and saw the figure as well.

The stranger started walking toward Starscream and when he came out of the smoke, Starscream was shocked to see who was coming out of the smoke. The other Autobots got up and when they saw who the figure was, they could not just believe it at who they were seeing.

"By the Allspark. This isn't possible." Ratchet's optics were wide with shock and disbelief.

"Are you seeing this, Bee?" Bulkhead was in so much shock but Bumblebee started to nod while beeping as he couldn't believe it.

"You gotta be kidding." Wheeljack was shocked by the turn of events.

"I... I don't believe it." Smokescreen whispered in shock. Was this what Emily said that she needs to do?

"Look, Optimus." Ratchet called the Autobot leader who got up.

Optimus looked at the figure who came out of the smoke and couldn't believe what he was seeing. Even the Decepticons just can't believe it.

"This is impossible." Megatron looked shocked. He sliced him in half but how is he alive?!

"And yet we're seeing it with our own optics." Knock Out said breathlessly in shock.

"This cannot be." Breakdown has his optics wide in shock.

The figure that came out of the smoke revealed to be none other than a revived Cliffjumper!

"Hey, Scream, it has been a while." Cliffjumper smirks as the Autobots start to feel joy at seeing that one of their comrades is back.

Emily slowly got up after the explosion threw her off before she grabbed her sword and when she saw that she brought back Cliffjumper, she felt overwhelmed but glad that her plan worked.

"I can't believe I did this." She whispered as she looked at her sword as it pulsed lightly.

Cliffjumper went to see if Arcee was alright, who seemed to pass out. When she feels someone picking her up gently and she opens her eyes only for them to widen slightly when she sees that Cliffjumper was in front of her as she smiled weakly.

"Cliffjumper...." Arcee whispered softly before she passed out completely due to the wound and fatigue.

"Hold on, partner. We'll get out of this one." Cliffjumper whispered to her audio softly before bringing her to Ratchet who recovered from his shock.

"T-T-T-This cannot be... I... I... I... I killed you myself." Starscream stuttered as Cliffjumper started to walk towards him and switch out his guns.

"Yeah, well, I'm back." Cliffjumper smirked at him as everyone started to get over their shock.

"Too bad you won't be here for long, Autobot." Megatron sneered as Cliffjumper got ready.

"There's something you should know about me, Megatron. If you start messing with me." He began as he started to power up his guns.

"You get the horns." He smirked before he started shooting the Decepticons as the Autobot saw that now was their chance to fight back.

"Autobots, attack!" Optimus ordered as they all ran to the battlefield with renewed strength.

The Autobots all started attacking the Decepticons as Ratchet was check on Arcee while Emily is covering him but she glance at the femme worriedly.

"Is she alright?" She asked worriedly as she shot a con with her plasma cannon.

Ratchet checked her to see if she's all right and nodded to reassure her.

"She's alright. She just needs rest." Ratchet told her as she nodded.

"Good. I'll be right back there. I need to get something." Emily started running to get something as Ratchet tried to stop her.

"Emily, wait. Why is she so stubborn? Optimus, we can't stay here much longer." Ratchet said as Optimus went back to him since they were getting tired from their battle.

"I agree, old friend. Autobots, we must retreat." Optimus called to the others who went back to them but knew that it was time to retreat.

"Already? And here I was just starting to have fun." Wheeljack said but he got to admit that he was getting a bit tired.

"He's right. We have to get out of here before Arcee loses all her Energon." Cliffjumper said as the others agreed.

"Optimus, the Decepticons have completely surrounded us. How are we gonna get out of here?" Smokescreen asked before noticing the grins on both Bulkhead and Wheeljack.

"Using an old Wrecker trick." Bulkhead looked at Wheeljack who nodded to what he was saying.

"I like the sound of that." He said as he then grabs one of his grenades and prepares himself to activate it and throw it.

"With this thing, we can blow this whole place sky high." Wheeljack explained to them his plans as they knew what they had to do.

"Then by all means. Do it." Optimus agreed as Wheeljack nodded.

"Right away, sir." Wheeljack said as he started to prepare the bomb.

When Wheeljack was about to use the grenade to blow the whole place up, Starscream saw him and tried to stop him.

"Oh no, you don't." Starscream said as he aimed his gun at Wheeljack who dropped the grenade.

"Uh oh." Bulkhead said as they watched it.

The grenade was in the air and it fell down. It started bouncing everywhere and the bots and cons will have to get it before it could blow them up to scrap metal.

"Get that grenade before it blows off!" Megatron orders them as they know that they have to retreat.

All the Decepticons started trying to catch the grenade but it just bounced more so much that it made it hard to catch. In the end the grenade stops bouncing as all the Autobots and the Decepticons try to reach it. To stop the Autobots from reaching the grenade, Megatron shoots at them and they all stumble back to avoid getting hit.

"Nice try, Optimus. Too bad it didn't work." Megatron sneered.

Megatron reached for the grenade but before he could even grab it, the sound of a motorcycle engine could be heard and the Autobots, minus Cliffjumper, knew who it was and moved out of the way. Emily swooped in and snatched the grenade while riding her motorcycle as she smirked triumphantly at Megatron.

"Too slow! Hey, Wheeljack, catch!" She looked to where Wheeljack was before she threw it toward him and he caught it.

"Way to go, kid!" Emily stopped her motorcycle with her friends as Wheeljack was getting ready to throw it.

"No, no... this can't be happening." Megatron took a step back as Wheeljack smirked.

"Oh, it's happening, Megatron." Wheeljack smirked before he activated the grenade and threw it in the sky.

"You better go before it goes boom." Wheeljack warned them as Megatron growled in frustration but knew that it was time to retreat.

"Rahhhh!!!! Decepticons, retreat!" Megatron ordered them all before he transformed and flew back to the Nemesis.

"Run for it!" Knock Out yelled as he transformed to get to the elevator.

All the Decepticons started to transform to retreat to try and leave the place before it blew up by the grenade as Cliffjumper laughed at how they hightailed out of there.

"I like it when they start running." Cliffjumper chuckled as Smokescreen had a grin.

"Yeah but I think we better start running." Smokescreen reminded them that they too have to leave before they're caught in the explosion.

"We need to get out of here before the whole place gets blown up." She watched the last of the cons fly away as Optimus turned his commlink to contact base for a groundbridge.

"Rafael, do you read me?" It took a few minutes before the 12 year old answered.

"I hear you, Optimus."

"I need you to open the ground bridge." Optimus could hear the sounds of the keypad being used.

"Roger that, Optimus. Opening the ground bridge now." Raf said as he was able to turn the ground bridge on.

The familiar green portal opened up in front of them from a few feet.

"That's our ticket to get out of here." Bulkhead noted as Optimus nodded.

"Autobots, roll out!" Optimus ordered them as they all transformed except for Cliffjumper.

The others all enter the ground bridge and get back to base but Cliffjumper stays behind to get Arcee as he picks her up gently in his arms.

"I'm not leaving you, partner." Cliffjumper said before Emily noticed he wasn't following and stopped before looking toward him.

"What are you doing? We gotta go." Emily told him as he just gave her a nod.

"Don't worry. I'll be right behind you. Go." Cliffjumper told her as she nodded.

Emily trusts that Cliffjumper will do what he's doing so she decides to enter the portal. On the other side of it, the others were asking her where Cliffjumper and Arcee are.

"Where's Cliffjumper?" Ratchet asked Emily as she took off her helmet after getting off her motorcycle.

"Don't worry. He's gonna make it. I know it." Emily told him as she looked at the portal.

On the other side of the portal, Cliffjumper was able to get Arcee in his arms and started to go to the portal.

"Let's go, partner." He whispered to her.

From the sky, the grenade was starting to fall really fast and Cliffjumper started running while holding Arcee in his arms as he had to get to the portal before the whole place exploded.

"Come on, come on." Cliffjumper said to himself as he started to run faster.

Back at the base, everyone was anxiously waiting for Cliffjumper and Arcee to arrive back as Emily gripped the gas pedal of her motorcycle.

"Get out of there." She muttered as everyone held their breath.

Back at the mine, Cliffjumper was getting closer to the portal.

"Almost there." Cliffjumper said as he started running even faster.

The grenade is on the verge to hit the ground and blow up but Cliffjumper was able to enter the portal before the grenade blew up upon hitting the ground. The explosion made the whole Dark Energon full mountain explode. The others at the base were getting really worried that maybe Cliffjumper didn't make it with Arcee. Suddenly they all started to smile when they saw that Cliffjumper made it out with Arcee and they were safe.

"Told you I'd make it." He told them with a smile.

Everyone was all happy and glad to see that Cliffjumper made it out safely with Arcee but when Jack saw that Arcee was wounded and unconscious, he got extremely worried.

"Oh no Arcee." Jack runs down the stairs and goes to Cliffjumper as he looks at Arcee and hopes for a response.

"Are you okay?" He didn't get a response but Emily put a hand on his shoulder as he looked at her as she smiled reassuringly.

"Calm down, Jack. She lost some Energon but she will be fine." This calmed Jack down as Cliffjumper gave Arcee to Ratchet to start treating her in the med bay.

"I'll take care of her." Ratchet said as he took her to the med bay for treatment.

Jack watched how Ratchet took Arcee and prayed that she would be alright soon.

"Think she'll be alright?" Miko asked since she was worried for Arcee as well.

"Don't worry about Arcee. She's a tough one." Cliffjumper reassured them but he was curious about who they were, especially the one who brought him back.

"Who's that guy?" Miko asked curiously as Raf and Jack had never seen the red Autobot with bull-like horns before.

"I've never seen him before." Raf said with curiosity in his eyes as Ratchet told them who it was.

"Believe it or not. This guy is our once lost comrade. Cliffjumper." This almost made Miko, Raf and Jack go pale as they looked at the mech standing before them in shock and awe.

"Whoa, whoa, wait a minute. Didn't you say that Cliffjumper was dead?" Miko asked since they were told that Cliffjumper was already gone earlier but how come he's all alive and walking among them?

"Trust me, kid. I have a hard time believing it too." Wheeljack told the pink highlighted haired girl as he glanced at Cliffjumper curiously.

"Yeah. To think that Emily was able to do that with her shiny sword." Bulkhead said this even made the trio become more shocked. Emily brought Cliffjumper back from the dead?!

"Yeah, you guys should've seen it. There was this bright light and then a big explosion. And suddenly out of nowhere, this guy came out from the smoke. You should've seen Scream's face." Smokescreen recalled the little incident as he admitted that Emily is full of surprises.

"Emily did this? How?" Raf asked in curiosity and confusion as the trio looked at the pale blonde and sapphire haired teen who rubbed the back of her head sheepishly as she didn't know how she did it.

"That's just the thing, I don't know how I did this. It all started when I heard a voice calling out for help. Then the sword started glowing and the same thing happened with Cliffjumper's spark chamber. That's when it occurred to me that maybe the sword wanted me to revive him. And that Cliffjumper was the voice that was calling out for help." Emily explained as best she can and Cliffjumper knew that he owed her and will repay her one day in the future.

"Thanks, kid. I owe you one." He kneeled down and ruffled her hair and got a giggle from her with his digit before Optimus approached Cliffjumper as the Autobot leader was glad to have one of his comrades back.

"We are very glad to have back, old friend. And we are in debt with you, Emily." Optimus smiled down gratefully at Emily who blushed lightly but smiled back.

"You're welcome, Optimus. I'm glad I could help." She told him as he chuckled softly which went unnoticed to Cliffjumper as he smiled since he saw something going on between the two.

"I can't believe this. I can't believe this. I'm meeting Cliffjumper in person! How big are you? What do you turn into? Do you use your horns? How many weapons do you have?" Miko started to ask Cliffjumper question after question and made him confused as Raf stifled a laugh as Jack facepalms while Emily had an amused grin on her face before he turned to Bumblebee.

"Is she always like that?" He asked the yellow and black scout curiously who nodded while beeping.

"I see things have changed since the last time I was here. Now you allow humans inside? I thought we had enough with Agent Fowler." Cliffjumper took notice of the changes since there weren't humans before his spark was gone.

"Special case for us. Hi, my name is Jack. This is Miko and Raf. And you already met Emily." Jack introduced himself to the mech as Raf and Miko greeted him as Emily nodded her greetings.

"Nice to meet you, guys. Glad to see that you guys are still the same. I take it that you must be Wheeljack. From what I've heard, you're a maestro with explosives." Cliffjumper turned to Wheeljack who had a proud look on his faceplate.

"What can I say? I'm good at what I do." Wheeljack replied proudly.

"Cliffjumper, it's an honor to meet you. I've read many things about you." Smokescreen turned to Cliffjumper as he took notice of him and knew that he was new.

"Thanks, kid. I guess you're new here." Smokescreen nodded.

"Yes. My name is Smokescreen." Smokescreen introduced himself.

"Good news, everyone. Arcee is going to be alright." Ratchet came out and told them the news and they were glad to hear it, especially Cliffjumper and Jack.

"Good work, Ratchet." He said as he couldn’t wait to see Arcee again.

"Yes, now we can check you up." Ratchet told him as Cliffjumper gave him an 'are you kidding me' look as the others watched in amusement.

"But, Ratchet, I feel fine." Cliffjumper started to protest.

"You might look fine. But we need to be sure of it. Now come on, let's get it over with." Cliffjumper was about to protest before looking down and saw that Emily nodded for him to go with Ratchet to make sure that he was okay.

"You better do what he says." Emily told him and he sighed since he knew both of them were right.

"If you say." Cliffjumper shrugged as he followed Ratchet to the med bay so the medic could check him up before patching the others up from their injuries.
