Matter of Perspective - Part 2
Title: Matter of Perspective (Chapter 2 - Battle)

Characters: Ratchet, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe
Warnings: none
A/N: I thought I would challenge myself and try to tell a story about Ratchet and the twins through a series of drabbles. Each character has one drabble per chapter (three drabbles per chapter) and each chapter focuses on a specific idea or event. I am also sticking with the interpretation of exactly 100 words per drabble. Comments and suggestions are welcome.
(I do not own Transformers.)
Sunstreaker:
Sunstreaker was magnificent in battle. With a mighty cry he jumped into the air and grabbed Starscream's wing as the jet passed during a strafing run. The trine leader tried to shake Sunstreaker off of him. Failing to do so, the seeker pulled up into a sharp climb, snapped into a barrel roll, and then dove for the ground. Sunstreaker became disoriented and his grip loosened. A sharp turn sent the golden mech sailing through the air. Until that point, he had been completely focused on the battle; now, his only thought was of Ratchet. Then he hit the ground.
Sideswipe:
Sideswipe honestly thought that jet judo was more fun than any mech should be allowed to have. As his brother climbed toward the sky with Starscream, he successfully ripped away Thundercracker's rudder and was able to jump to the ground just before the jet crashed. Turning in a graceful flash of red he drew his energon blade and sliced an arm off another Decepticon. He looked up only to see his brother falling to the ground. He felt his spark constrict in its chamber as he shouted "Sunny!" across the twinbond and simultaneously shouted "Ratchet!" over the regular comm line.
Ratchet:
Ratchet completed his field repair on Ironhide and had a chance to watch the twins as they fought ferociously against the Decepticons. Again he was reminded of their strength and agility in battle. Unknown to everyone, Ratchet had a weakness for powerful mechs; but only those that could contain and harness their energies for good use. His quiet admiration turned to horror when he saw Starscream shake off Sunstreaker. He was already running when he heard Sideswipe's frantic call for help. Ratchet skidded to a stop beside the fallen warrior and began stabilizing damaged systems. "Please don't extinguish," he whispered.
