Elena was looking at Optimus edge near her room. She already told him what SweetStar told her about cylinders, FallStar, and truth of Synthetic energon. Optimus so far had listened but hadn't shown any reaction.

"What you suggest for this?" he asked.

"I know your energon supplies are getting low. And If there's anything I can do to help, I would. But using this synthetic energon... you could just easily throw us Stars away." said Elena before looks down.

"Elena." said Optimus and made her look at him."If it's true that formula of synthetic energon belongs to Star Supreme, I wouldn't even think to let any of us use it."

"So, you will get rid of the rest of formula?"

"It would be too risky. What I was thinking is to give to you into Star Computer. Where no one won't get hands on it."

"Well, not what I expected, but sound fair enough. I just need to talk to Silver about it."

"Very well," said Optimus before he was about to move.

"Optimus," said Elena. in this he looked back at her. "Thank you for listening. I know you want best for all of us. That's what admire about you." she said before entered her room. Optimus just stood there while before he went to his desk. There he picked up audio file which was ready. It was written 'To Elena', but he wasn't sure yet when to give it to her. But he hopes it would be soon.

Next day, Elena went pick Silver from Jack's home. When she told that Optimus has decided to give formula to them, to keep it safe. For Silver that sounds a good idea. Before they decided to return back they went for shopping. And by that, it wasn't for clothes or jewel if not for oils, car waxes, lugnuts and others like that. In fact, they had so much of bags that Elena had to use her speed board to move some of them.

Once they get to the base, Silver transformed to SweetStar, so she could carry bags easily.

"It's been a long time since I saw you like that?" said Elena.

"I know. But Decepticons can't track me from here."

"Then why you have been wolf all this time?" asked Elena.

"I wanted to know how it to like a wolf. Plus, Bumblebee won't feel bad, for having voice box damage," said SweetStar. "I do wonder what Arcee would say."

"I wonder what others will take the news that formula goes to Star Computer."

"Yeah. I hope they could understand. Especially Ratchet." said SweetStar.

"Don't worry. I'm sure he... Gets kick to his aft!" said Elena once they came to the command center and found others there, while Optimus hold the container with green stuff and looked on Ratchet and told they needed someone in the base than in the field. Elena wasn't sure what was going on, but that green stuff doesn't look promising.

"Sweet, go take Raf back home," said Elena dangerously calmly.

"Why?" asked Sweet.

"Because I won't like him to be around when I'm going to explode..."

"Got it," said SweetStar quickly and went to pick Raf.

"Raf, I think is best you to go," whispered Sweet.

"Why?" he asked.

"Because miss Temperamental is about to explode," said Sweet and in this, they left quickly. When others notice Sweet taking Raf, they already took notice Elena and she wasn't happy. In fact, she was again 'new way mad' when she yelled out that entire base trembled. Elena first put all the bags aside before she went closer to others.

"I think I wasn't clear, with that stuff," said Elena and point up the container.

"What you mean?" asked Bulkhead.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Didn't Optimus tell you? That's stolen property! Only Star Supreme knows how to make it."

"The Synthetic Energon?" asked Arcee.

"Yes. I can guess you didn't know this because it was taken from her in the beginning of Golden age after she died."

"Umm...So?" asked Bulkhead.

"HELLO! Don't you get it? That stuff is meant to be made by one person. By the way should be green anyway?"

"NO-o!" heard a voice of SweetStar through the hallway.

"Anyhow, Better not use it," said Elena.

"Elena, We're out of Energon and..."

"Dip dip dip! Don't come with me with that, Doc. I know what is our condition. And I would rather go steal entire storage of energon from Cons if that's possible than take that."

"You're not like us."

"No, but Sweet is and even she thinks it's a bad thing that You actually tried to make synthetic energon. That's like what we people call alchemy. Or like I would call 'Play to be a god'!"

"That's enough, Elena!" said Optimus. "We will talk about this later."

"We better should," said Elena and looked down. "I thought I could trust you," she said before she left. But she didn't know that those words hurt Optimus deep down.

Elena was laying on her bed and look up to the roof. She felt bad what she said to Optimus. He probably didn't know that Ratchet managed to make some incomplete synthetic energon. He came to near her room's door and told he didn't know it and told her that Ratchet wasn't supposed to use it either.

"Well, I agreed one thing. That's nothing like what elder sister made," said SweetStar who was in her room too.

"Because of the color?" asked Elena.

"Not just that. Synthetic energon isn't supposed to make you any stronger or faster. It supposes to work like normal one."

"You think something is up?"

"More like unbalanced. But like I said only elder sister knew to make it right."

"Yeah. But I don't like that Ratchet has it now. He has started even act differently like... old man trying to pretend to be young again."

"Eww!" said SweetStar.

"I agree. But I think it would be best to do what Optimus said. We must get all the data of Synthetic energon to Star Computer."

"But how we do that? Ratchet, is always on the computer and I don't think he will let us do it," said SweetStar.

"We need to think of something. Come on," said Elena and got up.

When they came to the command center, they got another signal of Decepticon activity. And now Ratchet goes too. Elena looks on SweetStar who looks back. If Ratchet's out this could be an opportunity to get all data to Star Computer.

"We're not sure how long they will be out, so we must act quickly" whispered Elena to SweetStar, who agreed. Once others went through the ground bridge leaving Bumblebee alone with the girls, Elena went quickly to Ratchet's lab computer, while SweetStar went to get a disk to move all data.

Once Elena finds the unfinished formula and anything related to it, Sweet gave her the disk and she moves everything to it, leaving nothing behind. Once, they went to the Star Computer came message from Optimus to bridge them back.

"Well, at least we made it," said Elena to SweetStar. But no one came. That's odd. When nothing happened Elena went to the com-link system to ask what was going on.

"Guys? Everything alright?" asked Elena.

"No. Ratchet just went solo." hear the voice of Arcee. Ratchet? This doesn't sound good.

Once others came back, Arcee went to check computer where Ratchet could be, but there was no signal. It could be because of the unfinished energon. But what worried Optimus was if Ratchet gets to Megatron. Megatron is more powerful no matter what. Ratchet wouldn't stand a chance against him.

"I won't say this out loud, but I knew that unbalanced energon won't be any good," said Elena.

"Unbalanced?" asked Bulkhead.

"That's what Sweet said," said Elena and point SweetStar.

"I...heard elder sister saying so, while she was making it."

"When you say unbalanced, you mean as..."

"Synthetic energon is supposed to be like normal one. Not make you extra strong or fast," said SweetStar. "But since it's unbalanced it must also effect on nerve system as well."

"Are sure about that?" asked Elena.

"What else could explain, why our medic has gone after Megatron?"

"Okay..."

Soon they got Ratchet's signal. while Optimus, Bulkhead, and Arcee went for him, Elena and SweetStar prepared the sick bay. Meantime Elena decided to move all the unfinished energon out of the reach.

"If only this could have been real, there no need to move it away," she said while tried to move it away. But without noticing the unbalanced energon start to turn into blue, a real energon. And only who notice it was SweetStar. But before she could have said anything others came with Ratchet.

In nightfall, Ratchet was in the medical berth and tried to get up, but Optimus rest his hand on his shoulder meaning to let him stay.

"Easy, old friend," said Optimus. "You lost a lot of energon. Good and bad."

"I...I didn't intend to hurt anyone," said Ratchet. "I just wanted so badly to..."

"Help us." finished Optimus. "We know. But you nearly cost a loss of something irreplaceable. Our medic and most trusted friend. You did lead us to much-needed energon supply and for that we should all be thankful."

"The synthetic energon surely needs to refining before it can be retested again," said Ratchet. "On machines. not Autobots."

"Well,... about that." Said Elena who has sat on Optimus' shoulder. "That won't happen because...I moved the formula to Star Computer," she said and prepared for big yell, but instead, she heard a chuckle.

"I guess, it would be much wise," said Ratchet. "Then again it would be better if it's made by Star supreme."

"I'm sure it will," said Elena and looked at Optimus who smiled back.
