StarScream was in front of the Autobots, as they have a stare down. "It looks like you met our traitor..." StarScream glares at Illusion, who was standing next to Optimus. "|And i'm glad I betrayed you guys...|" StarScream orders the other Decepticons to attack. Optimus commands the others to attack as well. They all run towards each other, as they attack each other. Illusion was handling a decepticon before she felt another crept behind her. She kicks the other behind her, as she prepares to stab the one in front of her. A blast was hit at the Decepticon's chest. He falls as Illusion sees Mirage with his blaster. "Do I get something for helping you?" Illusion grabs a giant rock, as she throws it towards Mirage. Mirage ducks, avoiding the rock hitting him. He hears a groan and turns around. A decepticon was lying on the ground, with the rock on his helm. "|Now we're even.|" Illusion runs off to fight the other Decepticons as Mirage's does the same. Bumblebee was blasting each of the Decepticons running towards him, not hearing StarScream run behind him. Illusion noticed quickly and runs towards StarScream. She managed to push him away from Bumblebee with full force. Bumblebee turns around, seeing Illusion punching StarScream in the face. "|Thanks with the help Illusion|" StarScream kicks Illusion off of him, as he cocked his gun blaster. Both Illusion and Bumblebee dodged his bullets, as they each hid behind something for cover. StarScream blaster jams for a bit, leaving him open for an attack. Bumblebee was the first to see the opportunity as he runs towards StarScream with his gun loaded.

Optimus was stabbing each decepticon in their chest with his blade, as UltraMagnus covered him by shooting the others running towards them. Eventually, the Decepticons started to retreat, leaving the Autobots behind. The Autobots believed they've won until Arcee yelled. "They've got Bee!" Everyone turns around, looking at the sky, seeing Bee being carried by StarScream. "|OH HELL NO!!!|" Illusion transforms into a jet, as she follows StarScream and Bumblebee. Everyone started following them, each trying to blast StarScream down. "|HEY STARSCREAM!!! I GOT A MISSILE WITH YOUR NAME ON IT!!!|" Illusion launches a missile at StarScream, missing. She continues launching more missiles until she was able to damage StarScream's wing. Smoke started rising out of his wing until he started losing altitude. StarScream started to panic until he saw a canyon coming into view. "Have your bug back!!!" He lets Bumblebee go, as he started falling towards the canyon. Illusion detransforms, falling behind Bumblebee. StarScream turned around quickly, shooting a dark energon towards Optimus. He got shot in the leg, causing him to fall. The others stopped but he urges them to go without them. "Go help the others, I'll catch up."

Illusion was falling down, tailing Bumblebee. She reached out her hand, trying to grab Bumblebee's. As soon as their hands grabbed each other tightly, Illusion pulls out her blade and stabs it into the hard rock. She and Bumblebee were now hanging on the side of a canyon now. The others arrived shortly after, lowering a rope down. Illusion grabs onto the rope as her hand slowly started to slip on Bumblebee's hand. "|HURRY UP!|" Bumblebee tried his best to grab onto Illusion's hand more firmly but was losing his grip. As Illusion was finally able to grab onto the edge of the canyon, Bumblebee lost his grip. He was falling until a strong hand grabbed him. Bumblebee looks up, seeing Optimus holding onto him. They pulled both mechs up, as they started laying on the ground. "|Are you.... alright Bee?|" Bumblebee nods slowly, as Illusion was trying to regain her breath(?). The others glanced at them, until WheelJack points out to what was on Optimus's knee. "StarScream left me a bad mark when he shot me. I'll be fine tho." Everyone turned their attention back to the two bots who were still laying down. "|Do you know what i'm in the mood for Bee?|" Bumblebee turns his helm towards Illusion. "|Energon and a nap?|" Illusion chuckles for a bit, as she nods slowly.

It was nighttime. The Autobots were all gathered into a fire as their two friends were recharging next to them. "Illusion and Bumblebee both look cute when they're asleep." Mirage punches UltraMagnus on his side, as he chuckled. "Don't need to be jealous Mirage, she's all yours." Mirage smiles a bit but felt someone's optics staring straight at him and UltraMagnus. They both turned their helms to see Optimus staring straight at them, with a menacing glare. Rachet was still checking him if he still didn't have any damages on him. "I said I'm fine Rachet!" Everyone turned their helms, hearing Optimus sudden yell as he pulled his arm away from Rachet. Rachet backs away slowly, not wanting to upset Optimus more. "I've NEVER heard him get this upset before. Have you....?" UltraMagnus whispers to Mirage as he whispers back. "Never, but this scares me...." Everyone started deciding who will on Night patrol again and turns out to be UltraMagnus, Optimus, and Mirage. Both UltraMagnus and Mirage exchange worried glances with each other, not knowing what to say. As soon as everyone fell into recharge, Optimus stood up. "I'll check the perimeter. You both guard the others." Mirage and UltraMagnus nod. Optimus walks straight towards Mirage, as he grabs him by his shoulder, gripping him. "Don't try anything funny with my sister Mirage...." Optimus left, as UltraMagnus and Mirage exchange glances at each other. They both sit down, as they started to chat with each other until they both fell into recharge.

Optimus was walking around until his optics started to change colors, flickering from blue to purple. He was still walking around, until he felt pain in his helm, forcing him to kneel down as he grabbed his helm tightly. He heard a voice in his head, almost like his but wasn't a friendly one. After a few more minutes of holding his helm, Optimus stood up and started walking back towards the camp, his optics glowing a menacing purple. He made it back to the camp, seeing both Mirage and UltraMagnus were recharging. "Pathetic...." He thought silently. His optics slowly landed on Bumblebee. He walks towards Bumblebee, who was still recharging peacefully. He smirks, as he slowly sits down next to Bumblebee's body, admiring him. Optimus puts his finger on Bumblebee's cheek plate, making small circle movements on him. "Oh Bumblebee....."

"You're mine...."
