"Requesting a GroundBridge now! Jazz is injured pretty badly!" Arcee ordered, via comm link.

Ratchet immediately opened the bridge and the others came through. Jazz was unconscious and had to be carried by Breakdown.

"What happened?" Ratchet asked, his protectiveness coming to light. "Everything was fine until we got ambushed. Jazz saved us but got himself injured." Bulkhead explained, trying to comfort Ratchet.

"Who ordered the ambush?" Wheeljack asked. "A Con named Meteoroid." Miko replied. Ratchet felt his heart harden and hate fill his body.

After a while, Jazz was finally stable. "I'll be back later. I have to go clear my mind for a bit." Ratchet growled. He then transformed into his horse form and galloped off.

"Poor Ratchet. If Jazz dies, he'll be depressed." Jack sighed. "Hopefully Jazz doesn't die." Soundwave stated.

With Ratchet, he was walking around, when he spotted Meteoroid. The said Con grinned manically.

"Oh look. Another Autobot. Just like that last one I hurt, what was his name? Ah yes! Jazz, I believe." Meteoroid taunted.

The Deceptions surrounded Ratchet and he felt nothing but rage, hate, and bitterness.

(Pretend Arcee is Ratchet)

Ratchet easily took down the Deceptions and pointed his blade at Meteoroid's throat.

Suddenly, the others found Ratchet, getting ready to kill Meteoroid. "Ratchet, stop!" Optimus ordered.

"I said I didn't want to be found." Ratchet snarled. "Ratchet please. Listen to me." Optimus pleaded.

Ratchet looked at Optimus, his normally blue eyes now a shade of dark red. "Okay, I'm listening to you." Ratchet stated.

"Revenge won't help you. Please, stop this." Optimus begged. "You want me to stop taking revenge, right?" Ratchet guessed. "Exactly." Optimus confirmed.

"Never!" Ratchet yelled. He punched Optimus, knocking the Prime onto the ground. He then killed Meteoroid, just as Optimus stood up.

"Why'd you attack us?" Smokescreen asked. "You got in my way. Don't ever do it again." Ratchet snarled. Just as he was about to leave, he heard a familiar voice ring out.

"Ratchet!"

Ratchet turned around and saw Jazz. Jazz was leaning against Wheeljack for support and looking at Ratchet, pleadingly.

Ratchet fully turned around only to be met with blaster fire from Arcee. Ratchet hissed in pain as he got hit in his left shoulder.

Blood started dripping from the wound into the ground. Ratchet growled angrily and turned into his horse form, as did the others.

Arcee immediately attacked Ratchet, who easily beat her. Ratchet took all the Autobots down, one by one.

His normally white horse coat was now a jet black coat with a shoulder wound. Everyone tried to fight again, but they couldn't get up.

Ratchet then galloped off, without looking back.

A month later, as the others were walking around, out jumped a poisonous snake. The snake hissed and attacked Sunstreaker and Sideswipe.

Ratchet jumped in and killed the snake. Everyone watched in shock as Ratchet killed the snake. Once the snake was dead, Ratchet fell onto his front legs and collapsed onto the ground from the poison.

"Ratchet!" Jazz exclaimed. Ratchet's eyes started to turn blue again, but he went unconscious. When he awoke, he had an IV in his arm and saw Jazz beside him.

Ratchet groaned and forced himself to stand up.

"Like frag you're getting up." Jazz hissed. "I have work to do." Ratchet growled. He nearly blacked out again as he felt a sharp pain in his leg.

Luckily, Jazz caught him in time. "What'd I tell you?" Jazz questioned. "You're not my parent, Jazz! I highly doubt you all want me around now!" Ratchet yelled, his voice having clear pain in it.

Jazz was taken aback. "What are you talking about, Ratchet? We all love you, especially me." Jazz protested. Ratchet looked away, his face covered in pain.

"I'm real sure you do. Real sure." Ratchet mumbled, sarcastically. Later that day, Ratchet was facing away from the others.

Optimus stepped forward and looked at the medic. "It wasn't your fault. It was your demon." Optimus reassured. "My demon, my problem, my fault." Ratchet pointed out.

"You can't blame yourself for everything wrong, Ratchet. You're tearing yourself apart. Look in the mirror and see what you see. What do you see? In yourself?" Ironhide asked.

"A monster that needs destroyed before it causes more damage and pain." Ratchet replied, simply. Everyone was horrified at hearing that.

"Ratchet, you can't keep doing this to yourself! You're hurting inside, which is slowly killing you!" Prowl exclaimed, worried.

Ratchet just shrugged nonchalantly. "I've been trying to kill myself for years. I just never had the chance to." Ratchet stated. Everyone looked at Ratchet, completely horrified.

"What? Why? Why didn't you tell me? I'm your brother!" Jazz asked. Ratchet finally snapped. "Because you shut me out! After Mom died, you changed, Jazz! You were never home, you neglected me! Every time I wanted to hang out with you, you were gone, or getting ready to leave!" Ratchet snapped.

"I shut you out?! Try you pushed me away! You're the one who shut people out! You changed after Mom died! You got yourself in trouble in school or not in school! I tried to help you! You didn't let me!" Jazz argued.

"So now you're saying it's my fault?! Thanks for that, Jazz! Real supportive. I changed because I was grieving, like you! You told your friends what happened and you moved on! I didn't!" Ratchet yelled.

Jazz couldn't believe his ears. Why was Ratchet arguing with him?

"Ratchet, I never moved on from Mom! She was my mother too! I miss her as much as you do! I don't go around trying to stab myself to death though!" Jazz blurted.

Ratchet looked away from Jazz, trying not to cry in front of everyone.

"Ratchet? You tried to commit suicide?" Bee asked. "Yeah. I did. It was a month after our mom died and I couldn't think straight. I grabbed a knife, locked myself in the kitchen and started stabbing myself repeatedly. If it wasn't for Jazz, I wouldn't be here. That wasn't the first time I tried to commit suicide though." Ratchet admitted.

He pulled up a video. "Jazz kept this to remind himself of how he almost lost me." Ratchet explained.

(The music is for the video)

*Video*
As Ratchet stood in the kitchen, he walked over to the knives. He grabbed a knife and held it in his hands, the blade digging into his fingers.

He didn't notice the blood dripping down his fingers until he felt it. He held the knife and sliced his arm, feeling nothing.

He just let tears of pain, shock, and regret down his face.

(At 3:15 in the music video)

Ratchet just grabbed the knife and slashed his arms deep, repeatedly. Blood gushed down his wounds as tears went down his face.

(Once the music calms down after 4:04)

Ratchet slid on the floor, silently crying and losing blood. He laid his head against the cabinet on the bottom of the sink and just let his tears streaming down his face.

Jazz knocked on the door. "Ratchet? What are you doing?" Jazz asked. "Go away, Jazz! I don't wanna talk to you!" Ratchet snapped.

Jazz saw blood and busted down the door. He gasped in horror when he saw Ratchet. He immediately rushed over, but Ratchet weakly pushed him away.

"Ratch, why'd you do this?" Jazz asked, his own tears threatening to fall. Ratchet didn't reply and went unconscious.

*End of Video*

Everyone was horrified at witnessing that. Bee, Smokey, Starscream, Breakdown, Bulkhead and Arcee had tears in their eyes.

"How old were you?" Miko asked. "13, almost 14." Ratchet replied. He felt Jazz embrace him, but didn't care. He just wanted to die.

"Don't ever do that again, Ratchet. I don't want to lose you." Jazz begged. "I can't make promises, Jazz. You know that." Ratchet shrugged.

"Ratchet, please! I don't want to lose you either! We lost Mom, I can't lose you! You're all I have left! Please!" Jazz pleaded, tears starting to fall.

Ratchet looked at his sobbing brother and suddenly hugged him, shocking the others. "P-promise me you w-won't commit suicide. Please, promise me." Jazz sobbed.

Ratchet felt his heart ache. "I promise, Jazz. I'll come to you if I get suicidal again. If you don't push me away." Ratchet vowed.

"I never intended to push you away but you shut me out for years. I want us to be the way we were. Close and inseparable." Jazz stated, looking at Ratchet.

Ratchet gently wiped away Jazz's tears and looked at him. "I know I was unbearable after Mom died and you tried your best to help me. I'm sorry I didn't accept your help when I needed it. I just...I couldn't believe Mom died and I thought you were trying to replace her or forget her." Ratchet apologized.

Jazz smirked a bit, drying his tears. "Heh. Guess we both made assumptions." Jazz smirked. "Guess so." Ratchet agreed, smiling a bit.

"Wheeljack loves Ratchet!" Miko screeched. "Miko!" Wheeljack blushed.

Everyone turned to face the ex-Wrecker. Ratchet was shocked but Jazz was smug. "Ratchet loves Wheeljack!" Jazz shouted.

"Jazz!" Ratchet blushed, playfully punching Jazz in his arm. "OW! Ratchet, that hurt!" Jazz whined. "You started it!" Ratchet protested. "Well, yeah, I guess that is true. You got me there." Jazz admitted. "Smug ass fucker." Ratchet mumbled. "Language!" Jazz teased. "Bite me." Ratchet retorted. "Nah. I'll leave that to Wheeljack." Jazz grinned.

"JAZZ!" Ratchet blushed. Almost everyone burst out laughing. "Now kiss!" Bee grinned. Wheeljack made his move. He quickly kissed Ratchet, but Ratchet kissed back. Then they started to get handsy.

"Get a room!" Megatron exclaimed, covering Raf's eyes. Optimus covered Bee's eyes, Bulkhead covered Smokey's eyes, Arcee covered Jack's, Breakdown covered Miko's and Jazz covered Summer's.

"Your room or mine?" Ratchet asked. "Mine's messy a bit at the moment so..yours!" Wheeljack grinned. "Okay let's go." Ratchet stated.

"Don't get too busy!" Jazz laughed.

*CLONK*

Jazz landed on the floor unceremoniously from the wrench. "That's for embarrassing me!" Ratchet hollered. "I'm your older brother! It's what I do!" Jazz grinned.

2 years passed and Ratchet ended up getting sparked by Wheeljack. He had a beautiful baby girl and they named her Skywire. But Skywire passed away from sickness so Ratchet and Wheeljack adopted Sunstreaker and Sideswipe as their own sons.

They all lived happily ever after together for life.
