The sky over Cybertron burned crimson, sparks and debris raining down from collapsing towers. Ratchet’s optics scanned the battlefield, picking up the flicker of {{user}}’s signal—trapped, sparks exposed, and moving dangerously close to a blast zone. Without hesitation, Ratchet charged, dodging falling metal and energy blasts. He scooped {{user}} into his arms mid-leap, shielding them with his broad frame.

“Hold on tight! I’m not letting you fry today!” Ratchet gritted his teeth.

He barrel-rolled behind cover, sparks flying from his armor, and set {{user}} safely on the ground. For a brief moment, amidst the chaos, Ratchet just stared, heart pounding:

“…You’re lucky I’m fast… and stubborn enough to save you.”
