“Arcee, are you sure I’m hurt? I feel absolutely fine.”
“Grim. You have a pole right through you.”
Grimlock looked down, finding, yes, there was a pole going right through his abdomen. ”Well, would you look at that?” He laughed.
Arcee sighed. She knew that Grimlock had a lot of adrenaline on board, she had seen it before in other bots, but what she feared was the inevitable adrenaline crash…
”We need to get you to Ratchet. No, we need Ratchet to come here.”
Grimlock stood up quite easily. “Let’s not trouble Ratchet, I am perfectly capable of walking.”
Well…the pole was preventing a lot of Grim’s energon from spilling out then and there, and he was still on his adrenaline high…though, either by the time they got there, or well before that, it might be too late for Grimlock.
“I’m not sure, Grim…”
Grimlock started to walk in the direction of the Ark. “C’mon, it’ll be fine! I mean, I can’t transform to keep up with your alt mode, but it’s not that far!”
Arcee jogged up to Grimlock. “I’m…going to comm Ratchet to be on standby in case anything happens…”
Grimlock laughed. “If I can’t feel it, and I’m walking perfectly fine, what’s the worry?”
Arcee sighed again. “Grimlock. You are going to crash at some point, and then it’ll hurt the way it’s supposed to.”
Grimlock laughed again as he started to go off about something. Arcee received a comm back from Ratchet, telling her to get back as quickly as possible. Neither of them were medics, so it was hard to pinpoint if the pole was hitting anything vital.
The most important thing was that Grimlock wasn’t losing too much energon, and was still conscious…

“Grim? You okay? You’ve been quiet?” They were about halfway to the Ark, and Arcee suspected that the inevitable adrenaline crash was starting…
”Don’t worry, I’m…” he breathed out shakily. “…fine.” His hand gripped the wound.
“Okay, stop, you can’t go on,” Arcee went to his side, and guided him to the ground. She commed Ratchet, needing help, now.
Energon was dripping out slowly, still blocked by the pole, and Grimlock's hand trying to stop more of the bleeding. After a few minutes, Ratchet came in his alt mode with a stretcher. He transformed and with the help of Arcee, got Grimlock on the stretcher.
Both of them quickly moved the stretcher back to the Ark, and Ratchet took control, rushing Grimlock to the medbay.
Arcee slowed down, stopping outside of the medbay. Of course, Grimlock would be okay now. Ratchet was a miracle worker, and Grimlock was still awake by the time they got to the Ark.
He would be okay.
