I must say... that's a kick aft picture of Wheeljack. Why couldn't he look like this in the Bayverse?

Well enjoy!~

{:Sideswipe, Sunstreaker!!!:} Blurr yelled over the com link. Wheeljack was in stasis and the Elite Guard didn't know why.

With great difficulty, Blurr lifted him over his shoulder and lugged him outside.

{:What's wrong?:} Sunny asked as the twins wheeled up.

"It's Wheeljack and he's in stasis right now. I've got to get him to Ratchet."

"Alright, well stay behind till they get a chopper. Can't have Cons taking it."

Blurr nodded before setting off with Wheeljack in tow.

~~~~~

Blurr ran down the runway meeting the medic and passing the Wrecker off to him. He watched as Wheeljack was taken into the NEST base for extreme repairs.

"What did you see?" Optimus asked with Ironhide next to him.

"The Jackhammer was in bad shape. But the twins are watching over it incase some Cons find it interesting."

"Optimus, we'll get a team out there to retrieve it."

"That would be wise my friend." Optimus nodded to Ironhide as he left to recover the Autobot ship.

"Blurr..." Said bot turned to look up into the concerned optics of his leader and stepsire. "Are you alright?"

"Why wouldn't I be?" Blurr asked.

"That is not what I mean."

Blurr sighed through his vents. "Everyday is a new challenge, but with every step I take, it becomes a little easier. I've got Lily and all of you bots. I also have a sire who looks out for me. So..." Blurr shrugged his shoulders, shifting his weight before flashing Optimus a small smile. "I couldn't be happier."

Optimus smiled back, patting his son on the back before they both walked to the medbay.

"Oh yeah..." Blurr stopped, "where's Lily?"

"She's with Bumblebee and Mearing."

"She'll be alright." Optimus rose a brow at that. It seemed like Blurr was concerned but upon further inapection. He looked content. "She needs a femm in her life."

"Indeed."

~~~~~

"Ughhh... where the frag am I?" Wheeljacks optics came online, his processor feeling like slag.

"You're in my medbay." Ratchet answered scanning the wrecker for any missed injuries during his time repairing the bot.

"Doc? How'd I end up in here?" Wheeljack sat up, his gears hissing and poping.

"You crash landed on a planet called Earth. Inhabited by small squishies who are the Autobots allies." Wheeljack rose a brow at this and began to move his shoulders, trying to get them flowing smoothly again. "You're lucky Blurr got to you in time. You damaged alot of energon lines and you could've bled to death." Ratchet scowled but it seemed to go on deafs audio receptors.

"Blurr's here?" Wheeljack got up against the medics orders and trudged outside.

He was greeted with small fleshies about the size of his ped. Oddly enough, they didn't really take notice of him.

"Wheeljack mah mech! What's crackin'?" Jazz greeted from next to Optimus.

"Spinal struts and gears." The Wrecker smirked and nodded to Optimus.

"How did you get here friend?"

Wheeljack frowned, growing serious. "I was in sector 846, looking for survivors of our old crew, but I was ambushed." All the Autobots who were on base gathered to listen. "But then I found a pillar like object and who ever were my attackers, they wanted it as well. I took heavy fire, fleeing here but not without blowing them up first." Wheeljack flashed his signature smile.

"A pillar... interesting." Optimus mumbled to himself.

"Where is the Jackhammer?"

"Ironhide, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe and NEST personel are bringing it here. When they do, I would like to see this pillar you spoke of."

"Not a problem Prime." Wheeljack went to turn but stopped at all the squishies on the ground. "One question. We'res the youngling at?"

"Im no longer a youngling you old aft Wrecker."

Optimus rose an optical ridge when Blurr came into the hanger after going to refuel. "Blurr!" The two friends hugged each other.

"Wheeljack.... can't.... breathe.." Blurr wheezed before he was released. "How've you been?" The speedster smiled.

Wheeljacks optics grew wide with amazement and wonder. "You....you have a mouth. I thought that.."

"I didn't have one?"

"Precisely! Now all that work I went through was for nothing. Shame." Wheeljack laughed.

"I don't think I would want to use it anyways, least I want my face to melt off." Blurr smirked. "It's good to have you back Wheeljack."

Said bot scratched his helm before turning away, presenting his back where his swords were. "I won't be staying. Once the Jackhammer's fixed, I'm leaving."

Blurr frowned. "Why. There's nothing left for us out there." The smaller bot went to stand before the inventor.

"You know I don't do well with the others. Especially him." Wheeljack walked outside leaving Blurr alone. Behind his visor, his optics were wide with shock.

"Wheeljack!"

"Blurr, I don't think that's ah good idea." Jazz whispered.

Other Autobots wanted to help, but they knew that this was something personal, so they all waited patiently till it blew over.

~~~~

"Wheeljack!" Blurr yelled, flashing before the mech. "Stop!"

"Out of my way youngling." Blurr was shoved but he held tightly to the Wreckers servo, holding him still.

"No. Tell me why you're wanting to be alone. There's nothing out there. No one. We're all that's left besides the Decepticons." Blurr explained, hoping to get some sense into this old aft Wrecker.

"Listen." Wheeljack pried his servo away, glaring down at the bot. "I will not be subjected to humiliation again and blamed for what happened like last time. No.... I'm leaving before that fragger finds a way to-"

"Ultra Magnus is dead."

Wheeljack stopped in mid step, turning around to face the speedster. "What?"

Blurr shifted his weight. To the wrecker it looked as though Blurr was about to break.

"We were ambushed by Decepticons.... and I was shoved into an escape pod. H-He never made it out." Blurr's vents shuddered.

Wheeljack didn't like Ultra Magnus. Down right hated the mech with fury that rivaled Unicrons. However he felt like an afthole before Blurr. The small bot that risked his spark to save his own, was now infront of him, wallowing in his sorrow.

"Listen.... I know that Ultra Magnus meant alot to you... so for you... I'm sorry for your loss. He was a great warrior .. but I still hate him to the pit." Wheeljack frowned.

Blurr suddenly chuckled, wrapping a arm around Wheeljacks mid back and looked up to crystal blue optics. He took a stride towards the hanger, dragging the Wrecker with him. "Since Mags isn't here anymore.... maybe now.... you could stay?"

Wheeljack reflected on the past. The time where the entire Elite Guard fled the burning energon factory leaving the Wrecker behind.

With the building threatning to tumble down, and flames engulfing everything, Wheeljack thought that it was his time to join the Well of the All Sparks. But suddenly a small Elite Guardsmen came through the spitting fire, dragging the Wrecker out of danger and into safty. No bot would've risked their life for Wheeljacks. A Wrecker.... a nobody. But this small fragile bot did. "Why'd you save me?" Wheeljack asked. "That's a stupid question." Was Blurrs answer.

Wheeljack laughed at the memory. "Yeah, I guess it wouldn't hurt to stay a while. After all, I'd be the star attraction here." Blurr laughed at that as he dragged the Wrecker infront of Optimus, just like all thoughs thousands of years ago.

Ok, if you're confused, I'll help ya out. When Blurr was in the Elite Guard, before he was stationed in the Hall of Relics, he did odd jobs here and there. Things that the police wouldn't do. But one day, at an energon factory where some Elite Guardsmen were stationed, it suddenly blew up. Blurr who's Optimus son, believed that everything's life, was meaningful. Went back to save the Wrecker, when no one else would. And from there, Wheeljack and Blurr formed a bond of some sorts. NOW, how Ultra Magnus humiliated Wheeljack... well learn about that later.
