It wasn't long after the defeat of Megatron that it was decided that Sari would follow the bots to Cybertron. She was excited and nervous as she rode the ship that was transporting the captured Decepticons, but she was reassured by the presence of her friends.

On the ship, she was regarded with either curiosity or hostility only by those that weren't her team. The most vexing reaction to seeing her was by Sentinel Prime.

He would make horrible comments about her when he thought none of the others could hear. Sometimes he'd threaten her in front of the prisoners in the brig.

She'd catch surprised looks of some of the prisoners. She would ignore them.

"You know what I think?", she said one moment she was alone with him again with the prisoners.

"No and I don't care to.", he retorted.

"You're not just scared, but jealous!", she continued.

He gave a short but mean laugh mocking her and glaring.

"You're so gross to look at, why would I be jealous?", he sneered.

"Simple really, you always bring up Optimus when we're alone. You wish Optimus was your friend again, but you couldn't stop pushing them away.

You think it's too late so now you're lashing out at everyone- especially me because it's easier than thinking about your feelings!", she accused.

"You don't know anything about me! Or Optimus! You don't even know anything about Cybertron! You don't belong there!

I don't know what pit you crawled from but you should have stayed there instead of manipulating Optimus into protecting you all the time. I know what you are, you half freak!

Built in weapons.... Wings! You're a little war frame aren't you? A flier.", he stepped forward.

She held her ground, not noticing the reaction of the prisoners as they became interested in the argument. They stared each other down with anger in their optics.

"So what of it? What does my supposed 'frame' have anything to do with Cybertron? I'm Cybertronian! That shouldn't matter!", she said calmly.

He gave another mean laugh and something didn't feel right, she tried not to squirm.

"You sound just like a Decepticon. You little monster.", he gave her a horrible smile.

She took a step back in confusion at the accusation; some of the prisoners wiggled in their cells, none of them could speak as their mouth plates were covered.

"You're not making any sense! You've definitely lost your mind!", she let a small ounce of fear out of her voice.

Their fight was interrupted by Bumblebee and Bulkhead walking into the brig.

"What are you guys doing in here? Sari? Are you okay? Did he do something to you?", Bumblebee held her in their hand and spoke defensively.

Sentinel glared at them and briskly walked out of the brig, shoving Bulkhead out of his way.

"I'm okay Bumblebee, but I have a feeling things are about to get worse.", she said.

Things did get worse. The moment they all came to Cybertron, Sentinel began to boast and spout more negativity towards organics. Sari was told by Bee and Ratchet not to use any of her weapons or try to fly out of concern.

The real Magnus was still stuck in a coma and there were rumors of making Sentinel fully Magnus while a few whispered that Optimus should take his place.

In the meanwhile, there was a ceremony held in the honor of all the fall bots. The search for agent Blurr had them recover his cubed body, his spark flickering and clinging to life.

He would be sent to the science department to see about his recovery; that was what everyone was told.

The bots rallying on Optimus' side to make him Magnus left a bitter taste in the mouth plate of Sentinel, making him angrier and feeling more betrayed.

Why couldn't anyone see him? Why can't Optimus support him? Why don't you trust me anymore?

There have been a few interviews that they both ended up attending for one reason or another and most often Sentinel continued to feel the need to lash out, unable to control his feelings.

Ratchet, Bumblebee, and Sari had gone around the city about a feeling Sari had that told her something was wrong. They met up with a sad Arcee.

Bumblebee and Sari giggled and left them alone to go investigate by themselves. Ratchet gave Arcee two blades to cheer her up and asked her to go on a nice walk around the shops at some point.

———-

The search had been fruitless so they decided to meet up with Bulkhead and Jazz. They talked about Prowl's body being sent to where the Protoform's will be.

"I miss him. They were a good bot.", said Jazz.

"Cheer up girl, they will be with the Allspark after all.", said Bumblebee.

"Yeah big guy, who knows, maybe we can teach the protoform with his spark about life! You could be their teacher!", reassured Sari.

"It'll be sometime before the Allspark will be ready to create again. I mean it was mostly pieced together again only recently.", said Bulkhead.

———-

Within Cybertron had been corruption, as well as plans. Sentinel having his own mixing together pushing Optimus and someone else way farther than before.

Optimus then disappeared that night.

Bye!
