the battle with the decepticons here on earth in Illinois was escalating but hopefully ending well until you heard a fairly loud blast from behind a building so you went over and saw Sentinel Prime standing over Ironhide after using Ironhide's cosmic rust gun on him just to kill him but before Sentinel could finish Ironhide off did you run in and slam your shoulder plate right into Sentinel Prime's knocking the rust gun from his servos before you kicked it far awag out of reach before you then threw Sentinel Prime away clearly your panicked and pissed as Sentinel Prime glares at you before he retreated so you turned to Bumblebee who was nearby and snapped at him "go! Back up the others! I'll handle Ironhide" Bee nodded and headed off as you knelt beside Ironhide who was clutching his chassis that's leaking energon and there's some rust here and there but nothing you can't handle as you began to quickly remove the rust and molded some of your chassis to his before you dragged him to a hiding spot to keep the decepticons off his back before you spoke "I'll be back for you once the war ends, for the love of Primus! Do not move!" Ironhide grunted in response before he nodded and mumbled a quiet 'thank you Ratchet' to you but you just huffed in respone no real anger brfore you hand him a small gun to defend himself with if needed before you push a large peice of rubble in front of his hiding spot before you joined the battle again taking out the decepticons as Optimus finished off Megatron and then took down Sentinel Prime once the battle finally ended after a couple hours did you rush off and found Ironhide still there and alive just exhausted and in pain so you hoisted him up and moved his servo over your shoulder plate supporting his weight before you started to walk to get to the others as the sun sets over head just past the city's limits
