Chapter 1

The Autobots had set up a permanent place on earth for them. Koji still hangs out with them. Sideburn had a girlfriend Crimsonspeed she was very beautiful. Prowl and X-brawn's girlfriends were Crimsonspeed's older sisters. But no one knew there was trouble a foot. Even though the cons had returned there is a great threat coming for one of the Autobot brothers.

Sideburn was on a drive minding his own business he parked near a tree for a small break. Someone was watching him in anger. He decided to take this opportunity. Suddenly Sideburn realized he was being towed. He thought it was Towline. But there wasn't a no parking sign any where near there. "Hey Towline this was not illegal parking dude let it slip." Sideburn said. "Shut your trap! And I am not Towline I am Ripcord." The car snapped.

"Nice to meet you Ripcord now can you stop towing me?" Sideburn said.

"Do as I said and shut up!" Ripcord said. He was taking Sideburn out of town.

"Hey where are you taking me?" Sideburn asked.

"Shut it!" Ripcord said.

Koji saw what was going on. "Optimus a strange pick up truck is hauling Sideburn out of town." Koji said.

"What?" Optimus said. "TAI call in Prowl and X-brawn tell them Sideburn needs their help." Optimus said.

"Roger that Optimus, emergency! Prowl, X-brawn." TAI said.

"What is TAI? What's the problem?" X-brawn asked.

"A strange pick up truck with a transformer's life signature is hauling Sideburn out of town. He needs you're help." TAI said.

"Got it," X-brawn said.

Prowl was looking for Sideburn at the moment he knew that he had a tonight with his girlfriend and was going with his brothers and their girlfriends.

"Come in Prowl," TAI said.

"What is it I'm looking for Sideburn." Prowl said.

"That is what I'm talking about a strange pick up truck transformer is hauling him away." TAI said.

"On it." Prowl said.

Sideburn was towed to an old abandoned shack. Ripcord released the line he and Sideburn transformed. "Okay you dragged me out here what do you want?" Sideburn asked. Ripcord looked at him as if his eyes were swords. Sideburn could tell he wasn't safe so he decided to make a break for it but before he could Ripcord grabbed him roughly by the arm. "Where do you think you're going?" Ripcord said and dragged him into the large shack.

Some of the bots back at headquarters saw the bot it was an Autobot. Crimsonspeed recognized him as her ex-boyfriend, Ripcord. "It's my ex-boyfriend Ripcord I broke up with him due to how crazy jealous and how bad a jerk he was." Crimsonspeed said.

TAI let X-brawn and Prowl know. "If Ripcord hurt one piece of plating on Sideburn's armor he's going to sorry," X-brawn said. "I agree with you," Prowl said.

Sideburn screamed as pain once again slashed through his body. Ripcord was giving him quite the beating. He was attacking Sideburn before he a chance to react. "Please stop," Sideburn begged. "Never, you don't deserve Crimsonspeed no one does the only one who should have is me, she was mine first which means she is my property." Ripcord said. This bot was a crazy nutcase. Sideburn wanted his brothers. Whenever he was little and someone was ganging up on him his brothers would come to the rescue they always protected him. He wishes they were here now because he felt to weak to fight back. He tried to crawl away. "Wait I'm not done with you yet." Ripcord said and went back to beating Sideburn.

X-brawn and Prowl were almost to the shack when they heard Sideburn's screams of pain. They suddenly began to go faster it was like when a bullied ganged up on their baby brother they felt their brotherly instincts take over. They made it to the shack.

Rip cord heard them pull up. "Oh no not now!" He said. X-brawn and Prowl knock down the door. Prowl put stasis cuffs on Ripcord. X-brawn took him Prowl and X-brawn got good look at the inside of the attack it was like something out of horror movie. There was energon blood everywhere There in puddle of energon blood was figure that was trembling. Prowl ran over it was Sideburn. He was so battered up. He had gashes and dents all over his frame.

"Sideburn, come on it Prowl answer me." Prowl said. "Let me finish him. The Spy changers had come. "Take him out of here." Hot shot said.

X-brawn came over. "Come on little brother answer us." X-brawn said.

Sideburn looked up. "P-Prowl? X-brawn? Everything hurts I want to go home." Sideburn said his voice was barely a whisper.

"Sure we'll take you home but need to go to the new Transformers hospital here on earth, you're seriously hurt." X-brawn said. Prowl called the medical transport. thanks to the space bridge it arrived there in seconds. Prowl helped them put him on the gurney Sideburn screamed in pain.

Prowl and X-brawn climbed in there with him since he was their brother. They kept murmuring to him to to stay online and that everything will be okay. They made it there. Sideburn was rushed in. "Got a male youngling roughly 17 vorns old, we need an energon IV dangerous amount energon blood loss " The medic said. "Is Sideburn allergic to any medicines?" Another medic asked. "No he's not." X-brawn said. X-brawn and Prowl were in the waiting room. They were nervous. Optimus came and so did Koji and his father and much to everyone's surprise Ultra Magnus came. The medic came out his face looked grim. "How is he?" Prowl asked.

"I'm sorry he slipped away from us." The medic said.

"What he can't be gone me and my brother just got here he can't be gone!" Prowl said.

X-brawn couldn't believe his ears either.

"He was internally bleeding four different places we didn't have time to patch them up I'm sorry." The medic said.

Prowl and X-brawn felt like the whole world crashed on the ground and smashed into a million pieces. "Can we see him one last time?" X-brawn asked.

The medic nodded. "Follow me." He said. Crimsonspeed was with them she was crying Optimus was trying to comfort her.

The others saw Sideburn his body was lifeless gray. Prowl and X-brawn were crushed. They didn't know what to do know.

Prowl thought it was all his fault he would never forgive himself.

X-brawn didn't what to say it was like he forgot to talk. His world had lost it's meaning. He knew it was the same thing for Prowl.
