Jazz awoke with a start out of his recharge. Alarms were blaring all around the base if the deafening noise said anything.
“Must be the Decepticons” he grumbled as he blindly reached for his visor.
Once he clipped it into place he instantly saw the flashing red. He stood up and rushed to the main room, bots of all statures and makes were rushing around in chaos. Prowl was shouting orders as Jazz smoothly and silently approached the enforcer.
“What’s goin on Prowler?” the black and white mech asked.
“We’re in close proximity of a Black Hole” the tactician said with a very small tinge of worry lacing his vocalizer.
“Oh, that's….. almost worse than the Decepticons” Jazz said, worry evident in his visor.
Prowl stood stiff for a moment.
“Seems Wheeljack may have come up with a solution”
Hmmm musta gotten a comm from the finned mech.
Jazz glanced at the Praxian.
“… What kind?” Jazz was hesitant, for many reasons. Wheeljack was notorious for his inventions to explode or cause some sort of chaos.
Prowl shifted a bit. “A dangerous one apparently… he needs someone to attach a Hyper Boost to the-“
Before the SIC could even finish Jazz had interrupted.
“I’ll do it”
Prowl froze.
“What?”
“I’ll do it” Jazz stated sternly. “The mods I have should help keep me attached to the hull”
Prowl stared at Jazz as if he was possessed.
“Jazz- I- I can’t let you do that!” He looked at the Black and White Poly-Hexian.
“You’re too important for the cause!”
“And It’s either we lose everyone on this ship or a singular mech.” Jazz stated back.
Prowl went to protest again but found Jazz had already left to find Wheeljack.
“Primus help us all…”
———————————————
The plan had been set. Jazz would magnetize himself to the outside of the ship and place each HyperBoost on all four external engines.
“Are you sure you wish to do this Jazz.” Prime looked the TIC straight in the optics, his gaze filled with worry.
“As sure as I am that Shockwave is Unicron himself” Jazz spoke trying to lighten the tension and worry in everyone's fields.
Optimus was silent for a bit. “Alright…”
———————————————
Jazz was on the exterior of the ship now. He had already gotten two of the four HyperBoosts attached where they needed to be. His spark thrummed heavily in his chassis, seeming to stutter every so often; it was to be expected that the Black Hole’s gravitational field would affect him in some way.
“Just two more, two more and you can get back inside and see Ratchet the Hatchet” he mumbled to himself.
Now he had the third attached. He crawled his way to the fourth when suddenly felt his left pede's magnet power off.
“Ooo I don’t like that, don’t like that one bit”
Prowl came over his internal comm. “How is your progress so far Jazz?” The black and white enforcer questioned.
“It's good, good. Just one more left” Jazz quipped and cut his comm off.
He got a ping that his right pede magnet had now shut off. Don’t panic, you got this. He was now at the fourth engine. Jazz grabbed the last HyperBoost and slammed it to the engine right before both remaining magnets in his servo’s had shut off. And suddenly he was free floating.
“Prowl….”
“Yes?”
“I did it, I got them on… activate the boosters.”
“We still need to get you-“ Prowl stopped.
Oh
Oh Primus
No
Please
Please No!
“I love ya Prowl…”
