With guns raised Amber raised her hands slowly knowing there was no chance of escape for her and she was in no condition to fight.

"You're much easier to compel than the others." Silas said with a smug tone in his voice. "Others?" Amber said with a glimmer of hope in her voice.

Silas smirked, "Yes others, and judging by your condition you've been asleep for some time." He said he's he began to walk around her to get a better look. Amber made sure to keep a close optic on him.

"So tell me, what side do you align yourself with?" He said with a peaked interest. Amber was stumped by that question, she never thought what side she aligned herself with.

With a long silence Silas raised his hand to signal them to shoot with their stasis guns.

Amber tried her best to maneuver around them but to no avail. Lights out again.

On the Nemesis...

Megatron felt a slight ting in his spark, as if something, or someone close to him was just hurt. He looked out the window into the setting sun of the planet he dreamed of concurring and ruling. But he only wanted to rule it with his queen by his side.

If he couldn't have her by his side, then it wouldn't be worth it.

From the shadows Soundwave watched his master grieve for the loss of his queen. Soundwave remembered the day Megatron had seen Amber for the first time...

Flashback

Megatron and Soundwave were on patrol with a small seeker squadron when they had noticed a group of Autobots on the move with several small cubes of energon.

At its head was Ultra Magnus, Optimus Prime's second in command.

For some reason he had stopped patrol and he transformed. Then from the distance appeared another Autobot.

The new Autobot transformed revealing a young, sexy femme. She was somewhat tall, taller than most. She was mostly light blue. He helmet resembled that of Optimus Primes' along with antennas.

She walked over to Magnus and the appeared to bicker. Being to far away they couldn't make out what they were saying, but by guessing by their body movements, the argument was getting heated.

After a few minutes, Magnus ordered one of the Autobots to follow her back to to their base. And his patrol returned back to their route.

"What would you like us to do my Lord?" One of the drones asked.

"Follow Magnus' squad, leave the other be." With that the drones flew off in the direction of Magnus' squad. Leaving Soundwave and Megatron alone.

Soundwave looked up at his master and without even having to see his face, Megatron knew the expression on his faceplate.

"I think I found the one Soundwave."

Flashback ends

Soundwave shook his head and returned back to the monitor in front of him, back to the search for Autobots.

Autobot Base...

"Hey Jack get me a soda!" Miko called out as she invested herself into the racing game between her and Raf.

"Get me one too!" Raf called out. Jack sighed as he leaned into the mini fridge and grabbed the three sodas and walking over to the couches.

As he sat down the game was finished, Miko being victorious, her third straight win of the day. Bulkhead cheer in congratulations for her while Bumblebee beeped in sadness. "Its ok Bee Ill get her next time." Raf said with a glimmer of determination in his voice.

With that Bumblebee cheered with happiness and they went off to go race cars somewhere.

The room was silent besides the sound of the TV and Ratchet typing at one of his computers. Then the ground bridge opened revealing Optimus and Arcee. They both had solemn looks on their faces. Arcee walked up to Bulkhead and said "Would you mind taking Jack home tonight?"

"Uh sure 'Cee?" He said looking at both the kids and them looking at each other. "What gives Arcee?" Jack said as he walked over to her. "I'm just not feeling well" she said as she grabbed her arm and walked down to her quarters.

"Dont take it personally Jack, it's...been a long day for her." Optimus said slowly following her. "Whats got them?" Miko said looking over at Ratchet. And he sighed. Afterward Raf and Bumblebee walked back in, Raf on his shoulder carrying a toy car.

"Whats going on?" He asked. "Its the anniversary" Ratchet said, his voice trailing off.

Both Bulkhead and Bumblebee looked at each other and lowered their heads, solemn looks on both their faces.

"Anniversary of what?!" Miko asked, anxious to know.

"Anniversary of the day they lost their daughter."
