Excerpt from Chapter 1: Courageous...

The drone collapsed at his feet, headless. The torso broke into pieces as the body hit the ground while its bottom half, still whole, twitched, failing to obey the last impulses in its severed circuits.

Someone – he didn’t know, couldn’t know, couldn’t see – forcibly lowered his arm, and a firm voice said, «Stand down, soldier.»

Prowl?

He kept staring straight ahead, at the Autobot troops swarming into the ruined city center, picking off the retreating Decepticon forces, until he heard someone – Ratchet? – call out, «He’ll live! One more hit would’ve done the idiot in, but he’s going to be fine. Sunstreaker, get out of the way.»

«I’m not leaving Side-»

«Don’t make me repeat myself. Move.»

A hulking figure was moving through the field, searching for struggling but broken drones and Decepticons, and blasting them in the face with his cannons. Shuddering, he finally looked away, and behind him to the pile of rubble he and Sunstreaker and Hound hastily stacked together into a barrier. There was Ratchet and First Aid and a few repair drones assessing the damage done to members of the unlucky squad. Sunstreaker hovered nearby, faceplates twisted in distress.

Wheeljack appeared, his left arm hanging uselessly from his side, and Ratchet stood up to berate the engineer. Wheeljack beat him to it.

«How’s Jazz?»

«Didn’t you hear me the first time? What did he do, lead the charge?»

«Something like that-»

«He’s going to get himself killed if he doesn’t stop it, and you, what on Cybertron were you thinking?»
