LUGNUT | TFA

[ He gets to the medbay and kicks the doors open violently. ]

I AM HERE WITH BLITZWING. WHERE SHALL I PUT HIM, IMMEDIATELY.

KNOCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT.

AND BREAKDOWN.

[ He did his best to not be so rocky with the injured mech before him. He was hoping that time wasn't running out so soon. ]

[ Once Lugnut had landed in the area that Starscream had cleared, the bomber had swiftly picked up Blitzwing in his arms. Without a word, he headed inside of the base, trekking through the corridors with Starscream and Megatron behind him. ]

FRAG OFF YOU INSIGNIFICANT BLOCKHEAD.

IT IS ME AND MY CONJUNX! THAT IS US. VERY ACCURATE.

ahem.

I. AH. UM. LORD MEGATRON! I AM EXTREMELY GRATEFUL THAT YOU THINK SO. VERY FLATTERED. I NEED TO LEAVE !

[ - However... He couldn't help but think back on Blitzwing, and those horrific injuries. ... Awful.

As time goes on, the base's location draws near. ]

LORD MEGATRON, STARSCREAM. WE ARE ARRIVING SOON. CLEAR THE AREA SO I CAN LAND WITH BLITZWING SAFELY.

- AS WELL AS OFFER SOME ENERGON TO HIM TO KEEP HIM TEMPORARILY STABLE.

HOWEVER, I DO NOT KNOW HOW LONG HE CAN HANDLE

[ He does his best to fly past heavy clouds and those damned flying organic creatures. His thoughts were focused on flight for the most part. - ]

[ From Lugnut to; Knock Out, Breakdown # tag(s): MEDBOTS ]

WE SHOULD BE ARRIVING IN APPROXIMATELY 10 CYCLES. THE INJURIES ARE SEVERE.

BLITZWING IS MISSING HIS LEFT CANNON. THERE ARE PLENTY OF BITE MARKS AROUND THE WOUND. WE MANAGED TO GET SOME PATCHED UP TO STOP THE BLEEDING, -

I WILL MAKE SURE TO TAKE CARE OF HIM GENTLY.

[ With Megatron's assistance, Lugnut manages to get up into the air with the injured triple changer. He begins to take flight back to base, going into his comm. lines to inform Breakdown of their ETA. ]

[ — returned Blitzwing. He couldn’t ever truly look away. ]

[ From Lugnut to; Knock Out, Breakdown # tag(s): MEDBOTS ]

KNOCK OUT, BREAKDOWN. SET UP A MEDBAY FOR EMERGENCY SURGERY, IMMEDIATELY.

WE HAVE FOUND BLITZWING, BUT HE IS AT A CRITICAL CONDITION.

YOU HEAR?

[ He squinted off at nothing in particular. But his optics always — ]

[ Lugnut allows Megatron to takeover and care for his injured comrade, holding a servo up to his audial and sending out a comm. to Knock Out and Breakdown as soon as possible.

His optics couldn’t help but shift down at Blitzwing with a reined-back sense of worry. ]

HUH

I DID NOT INTEND TO— BUT GOOD. THAT IS HOW LORD MEGATRON SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AND RESPECTED.

>:[

SOMEONE DREW MY CONJUNX PERFECTLY? BEAUTIFULLY? GORGEOUSLY?! I WANT TO FRAME THIS IN MY HABSUITE. AH.

DO YOU KNOW WHEN THE LORD IS ARRIVING? OR IF HE IS… I DO NOT WANT TO RISK STAYING OUT FOR LONG IF THE PERPETRATORS WHO DID THIS TO BLITZWING ARE STILL AROUND.

[ He kept a servo over the other’s frame. ]

our glorious leader will come and get us, i know it. and you will be home. and you get to see your puny dorky bug again.

[ He looks at Starscream. ]

[ When Blitzwing laid his helm against his lap, he tensed up. It’s not everyday this sort of circumstance occurs, but it wasn’t unwelcomed, especially in this situation. The bomber plane allowed him this much, ignoring the smear of energon. ]

you’re okay now, blitzwing.

Though, it was wishful thinking, he knew. The state of Blitzwing’s frame was rather horrific. ]

I HAVE MORE THAN ENOUGH ENERGON. BLITZWING, YOU BETTER WAKE UP.

[ After struggling to get an energon line to hook up, he watched quietly as it flowed from his wrist to the other’s. His optics stayed fixated on his comrade, silently hoping for him to at least recover enough to be more conscious. -]

HE CAN’T SEE JACK SLAG, STARSCREAM. LOOK AT THE DULLNESS IN HIS FRAME.

[ He squints at him. ]

MAKE WAY. GIVE ME THAT LINE AND I’LL DONATE.

[ When Starscream was finished donating some energon, Lugnut swiftly elbowed him and sat in his spot, like a petulant little child. ]

they're going to get it... THEY'RE GOING TO GET IT.

... blitzwing. starscream.

[ He walks closer. ]

BLITZWING. YOU OVERGROWN PIECE OF SLAG, YOU WORRIED US- YOU. YOU-

WHO DID THIS?!

[ He got close enough to kneel down where he can hold Blitzwing, but his servos were uncharacteristically shakier than normal. ]

[ The sight of Starscream there, as much as he had personal vendettas with the mech, felt more reassured. He would've definitely needed a second pair of servos with this. Assisting the injured is very much out of his scope. ]

[ Lugnut could already narrow down the things that have happened during his disappearance.

However, nothing leaves his intake. A sudden burst of fury flashes across his field. Almost empowering everyone else in his vicinity. But, for once, he keeps himself restrained and quiet. ]

[ He usually wasn't as adverse to the sight of gore and torn parts. Hell, he was responsible for half of blood and gore on the battle field with his explosive punches.

But this? This. Blitzwing is his comrade, and that sense of familiarity made this all the more nauseating. ]

[ Or was it... Lugnut's optics widened at the sight of his missing comrade, all mangled and bloodied up, slowly withering away in nanokliks. He comes down to the ground with a heavy thud.

The injuries looked even worse up close. Missing parts, broken optics, broken everything. Bloodied. ]

[ The bomber plane seems to also be nearby. For a brief moment, he noticed a ping. Two, actually. He could recognize Starscream's immediately, but the other? Well, it was jumbled in errors. Lugnut had lowered down to get a closer look, and oh.

Oh no.

That was not who he think it was... ]
