Three mechs were running forward. Everything around them was currently falling, faint explosions could be heard in the distance. Behind them however, the sound of engines was heard. And with each second, the sound was getting closer and closer. Right in that moment, one of the mechs noticed a building, that, to put it lightly, seemed like it saw better days. And by that, it means it was a miracle from Primus that the thing was even standing. The mech in question took the hands of his companions and dragged them into the building. Just as they hid behind a a big rubble, shouts were heard from a creppily small distance. 

"WHERE ARE THESE AUTOSCUMS?!" One vioce yelled.

"I think they went that way!" another vioce yelled back, and multiple footsteps ran past the rubble the autobots were hiding behind, deeper into the building. As the footsteps distanced themselves from the trio, they went to the enterance, relieved that they finally got away. But unfortunely, thieir moment was cut short by a horryfying creak fom above. 

Everything after happend in an instant. 

Part of the ceiling broke down, tons of stones, bricks and other materials falling onto their heads. As they stood, starting to accept their fate, two of the three were violently pushed forward, out of the building. As  they laid, coughing to get the dust out of their system, they finally noticed it. There, under all the rubble, the mech that saved their life was stuck under all the garbage that fell. Their eyes videned in terror as they ran and started scooping the rubble off their companion.

"It's no use, I'm stuck for good this time..." The mech chuckled sadly, his previously white paint barely visible throught all the dust, his blue streaks looking more black than anything else, as he looked at the two, still trying despite their attempts only resulting in their hands getting more and more scratches. 

"NO, no please...! We'll get you out, we won't leave you behind!" One of the two, a red mech with black accents replied withoud missing a beat.

"Don't even think about it!" The other one, a yellow mech with darker accents mostly on his arms, legs and torso, whispher-yelled, still desperatly trying to get the third autobot out. 

The stuck mech looked sadly at the two's attempts. He knew he was a goner, but there was still a chance for them to make it out. He knew what he had to do.

"I'm so, so sorry..." The white autobot said, earning a confused look from his companions. With the last of his energy, he transformed his hand into a blaster and charged an energy shot at the two's feet, sending them flying even further, just enought for them to be out of reach of what was going to happend. The red mech was the first one to come to his senses, his gut filling with dread as he realised what was going to happend the second he saw the stuck autobot point the gun to a pillar.

"Wait, Smokey nO-" His pleas were cut short as the sound of a shot beign fired filled the air. It was as if the world suddently started playing in slow motion. He reached his hand forwars, knowing he couldn't do anything, as he watched as the pillar wavered dangerously, big, ugly cracks appearing on the ceiling. 

"I love you both... So, so much" He heard his whisper, despite all the chaos "Take good care of yourself please." His optics then looked to the right. 

"Sunny, take good care of Sides for me, alright?" He said, still smiling, despite knowing he won't be seeing them again. 

"NO!" Sides screamed, rushing to the latter, but was stopped by his yellow companion. He trashed, sobbing weakly as they both watched the ceiling give up, rubble falling, cutting their way back. 

"No, no, please..." Sides said, still trying to get free, his attempts growing weaker and weaker by each minute. "Please, he's still there..." 

"Sides, he's gone" Sunny said, looking at the red mech.

"NO! He's still in there, we can still get him out...!" Sides said weakly as Sunny moved him into a hugging position. "Please... I can't lose him" Sides sobbed, clutching the other tightly, afraid that he's goin to dissapear.

Just like Smokescreen...

"Smoke would have wanted us to live. I know it's hard, I-" He stopped, looking for the appropriate words "...I can't believe he's gone either. But we can not let his sacriface go to waste. He didn't... die just for us to get caught by those decepticons... Come on, we gotta keep moving."

Everything from that moment got blurry. Sides remembered getting up, using Sunstreaker as a supporting beam and slowly walking away from what was left of the building. He remembered hearing Sunstreaker talk to someone through his comm, and then Sunny taking his hand and saying something to him.

What is he saying? 

"... hard... 're waiting fo... -et's go Sideswipe" Sunstreaker took Sideswipe's hand, and started walking faster into one direction. 

I'm so sorry, brother.

It's stupid, but I promise you . We'll see eachother again. In this life, or in the mother spark.

Hi hi and hello! It's good to be back. I'm really, really sorry for the long wait, but your prayers have finally been answered and the first chapter of the rewrite is here!
