"I'm glad you're okay. Thanks for helping us out at that race," Aurora said to the uncanny twins.

"Aurora, that was weeks ago. You don't have to keep thanking us," Cade said.

"I have to. I found out he is that guy that drove the Aston Martin was an elite racer! You both drove better than him and beat he!" Aurora explained. She wasn't going to out right say the drove better than a Cybertronian.

"Well I'm still glad that even Jack beat Vince in the race! Vince is such a loser," Zak said.

It has been three weeks since illegal racing against Knockout, and two since Jack and Aurora has encountered Airachnid. The Decepticons have started to become more aware of her, and plan on capturing her. The Autobots have been far more cautious with Aurora, since then.

Raf laughed a bit. "Well I suppose so. I'm just glad everyone made it out okay."

"And it's all thanks to our Light here," Cade said.

"It was nothing. I was just there for moral support."

"Aurora, you were able to predict when he was trying to hit us off the track. You practically saved our lives," Zak said.

"Haha, I guess so." Before Aurora could continue, both Raf and Aurora's phone go off. Aurora looks at Raf who reads his phone. When he looks up, Raf nods to Aurora.

"Guys, we have to go. We can talk later okay?"

"That's fine," the uncanny twins say in sync. They wave and quickly rush to the back and into the forest where they meet up with Jack and Miko. Without a word, Aurora bridges them to base, and looks on at the scene before them.

There on a medical berth laid Optimus looking very ill.

"Cybonic plague," Ratchet say causing Aurora to gasp. "It is only contagious if you come in contact with the infected energon."

"What was a plague doing on an Autobot spaceship?" Miko asked.

Arcee answers with, "Its passengers were infected with it. The virus wiped out millions on Cybertron during the Great War."

"Cybonic plague was engineered in the Decepticon biological warfare program. By Megatron himself," Ratchet adds.

"Well ... you do have a cure, right?" Raf asked.

Optimus groans out, "No ... cure."

"Optimus, please. Save you strength," Ratchet said.

Jack asked, "Would Megatron get a disease without having a cure? I mean, what if he caught it by accident?"

"It's not like we can ask Megatron, Jack. He's pushing up lugnuts," Bulkhead said.

Ratchet spoke up, "But we might be able to access the Decepticon database. For the moment we have a fix on the warship's location."

"Bumblebee, come with," Arcee said.

"Arcee, quickly. And be careful."

Bumblebee and Arcee got onto the warship and logged into their systems.

"Ratchet ... did you-" Optimus started.

"Get infected? No." Ratchet's answer relieved Optimus.

"If it's here, I don't see it," Arcee said.

"Are you certain, Arcee?" Ratchet asked.

Arcee replied saying, "I've searched every file. Nothing."

"Well search again. Clearly you missed something!" Ratchet growled.

"I searched the entire database!" Arcee shot back.

"Daddy, Ate 'Cee is right. There isn't a cure on file for the plague," Aurora said.

"Stay out of this!" Ratchet yelled.

Aurora quickly turned to Raf and hid her face in his chest. She was afraid that Ratchet would say something he would regret like Arcee when they encountered Airachnid. Aurora had her feelings of fear, sadness, and hurt leak through the bond with Arcee.

"Ratchet, don't yell at her! She technically had all the files in her mind already. She was telling you to confirm what I was saying, for Primus sake!" Arcee scolded.

Ratchet sighed. "I'm sorry, Aurora. Thank you for confirming with us."

Aurora slightly looked at Ratchet and said, "No problem." Aurora quickly turned to hid her face once more on Raf's chest.

"Hey, Arcee. You gotta see this." Bumblebee said.

"What, what is it?" Arcee came over to be shocked. "It's Megatron. He's alive!"

"That's not possible," Ratchet said.

"Well I'm staring right at him. good news is Megatron isn't exactly staring back," Arcee reported.

Suddenly, Optimus's vitals started to go critical.

"No! Optimus, stay with us!" Ratchet yelled.

Acting quickly, Aurora moved Optimus and herself in the healing chamber and closed it. Aurora created a small crystal of black energon and had it float to the right of Optimus, while Aurora was on his left. Then the black energon started to absorb Optimus's energon, while Aurora started pouring energon into him.

"Aurora what are-"

Raf interrupted Ratchet. "She is in a sense stablizing him. She is draining the infected energon out and putting regular in. This will buy us some time to look for a cure. This is only temporary."

"Right. I'll just go and-"

"No! Ratchet don't go in there! The black energon will start to absorb your energon as well," Raf warned.

"Black energon!? That's a myth!"

"Ratchet focus on Arcee and Bumblebee. Aurora won't be able keep Optimus stable forever," Jack said. Looking over at Aurora, you could slowly see her tiredness.

Time Skip

Arcee and Bumblebee returned to base once Ratchet had gotten the cure. Ratchet made it, just when Aurora had fainted from exhaustion. Optimus was able to have a quick recovery with everyone's efforts. Everyone was happy he would be alright.

"Please, reserve the hero's welcome for my physician, my scout, and our little Light." Everyone clapped as looked from Ratchet, Bumblebee, and Aurora who was in Ratchet's free servo, sleeping.

Time Skip

Bumblebee had been acting strange for a few days and said he was seeing Megatron's face in his head. So Ratchet put Bumblebee in shut down.

Currently Raf was talking to Bumblebee and Aurora, even though Bumblebee couldn't hear him.

"So I blow pass the finish line. Then my other sister Polara asked how I got good at racing. And I told her I know a guy who has cars-"

Ratchet interrupts, "Rafael, are you trying to talk to Bumblebee? You know he can't hear you in power down mode. It's getting late, why don't I bridge you back to your family?"

"Because I told Bee and Light I would stay. He's family too."

"Don't be ridiculous. You're not even the same species."

"Hey! So I'm not your creation then!?" Aurora yelled.

"You- I mean- that not what I-" Ratchet stumbled over his own words.

Raf stopped him from continuing. "That's being related. It's not the same thing. Here, let me show you." Raf pulled up a picture of his family and shows Ratchet. "This is my family."

"Yes, yes, quite nice," Ratchet still didn't understand yet.

"Quite large. Sometimes I can shout and no one hears me."

"Yes yes yes yes."

"But Bumblebee and Aurora always listens."

~Family are those you care about, and those who care about you. It's like me and Kuya Raf. Not related by blood, by family nonetheless. The same with you and I,~ Aurora sent through the bond.

Ratchet's optics widened in realization. Raf has taken Bumblebee as a brother, much like Aurora and himself.

Raf continues, "And we can understand him. I'm not sure why, but we do."

Ratchet smiles a small smile, but a smile no less. "I understand Raf. Thank you for being there for both Bumblebee and my little Light."

"It's nothing, Ratchet." Then Ratchet went back to work. While Raf continued to talk while he played with his laptop with Aurora watching.

A few minutes later, Ratchet went to get parts to try and fix something. Raf was working on finding anything on Aurora's past.

"Wait till you see the new laptop I'm saving up for, you too. It will help with the search for your past, Aurora," Raf said. Then Bumblebee got up from the healing chamber.

"Bee? Bumblebee!? Wait!" Raf said.

"Kuya Bee? How are you even up!?" Aurora asked. Bumblebee was messing with the ground bridge, then went through it. Aurora flew to the controls to see the coordinates.

"Bumblebee!" Raf yelled.

Ratchet came in and asked, "What did you do!?"

"Nothing! Bumblebee just got up and-" Raf started, but Ratchet cut him off.

"He was in power down. Where does he think he's going?"

"H-he went to the place where you and Uncle Op fought t-terrorcons," Aurora stuttered.

"Why there!?" Raf asked.

"I don't know," Ratchet replied as he opened the ground bridge again to go after Bumblebee, but said bot came back.

"Bumblebee, what have you been doing?" Ratchet asked, but Bumblebee didn't answer as he walked in. Ratchet grabbed Bumblebee's arm. "Dark energon!?"

Ratchet looked up to see Bumblebee try to punch him, but it stopped near inches. Ratchet was quickly pulled away as Aurora let Bumblebee punch nothing, but air.

"Bee, what do you doing!?" Raf yelled.

Bumblebee ran at Ratchet to attack again, but saw held in place. Bumblebee turned to Aurora as she stole the dark energon from his servos and changed it to regular energon. Then, Aurora throws him against the wall.

"Aurora, why did you do that!?" Raf asked.

"I'm sorry, Kuya Raf. He was going to hurt sire and-" Aurora was cut off as one of Ratchet's many tools around base hit her in the head really hard. She fell to the floor unconscious, bleeding heavily form her head.

"Aurora!" Both Raf and Ratchet yells. Bumblebee finally punches Ratchet, leaving him in a daze. Then Bumblebee picked up Raf and Aurora.

"Please, Bumblebee! I know you're in there!" Bumblebee placed Raf on a high ledge. "You have to fight whatever's making you do this!"

Bumblebee ignores him and goes through the ground bridge, leaving with Aurora in hand.

Ratchet got up and asked if he was okay. Ratchet answers that he was fine, but Bumblebee wasn't. They need to figure out what he was up to, but then Ratchet realized that Megatron was in his head. Then panicked as Megatron had Aurora. Both of them travel to the Arctic.

Time Skip

Bumblebee was hooked up with a cortical psychic patch, and was crushing Aurora to wake up. She woke up with a scream, until Bumblebee forced Megatron to stop.

Aurora took a quick glance around and spotted Megatron. "Bumblebee, why are we ..." Aurora paused as she saw the cortical psychic patch attached to him. "L-lord M-megatron!? I should have k-known. I mean the patch is two ways. You ... you want me ... to heal you don't you." Megatron nodded.

"Ratchet, don't hurt Bumblebee!" Raf cried.

Ratchet replied, "That's not Bumblebee!" Ratchet tried to attack, but was knocked away.

"Sire!!!" Aurora cried.

"Bumblebee! Remember who you are. Remember me. I know you'll always exist to me no matter what," Raf said.

"Raf, is that you?" Bumblebee asked.

Rad replied, "That's right, Bee. It's me."

Then, Bumblebee was having a mental battle with Megatron, but lost. Megatron snatched up Raf and looked to Aurora. "Heal me or this human will perish!" Megatron said. He started to crush Raf, and Raf screamed.

"NO! Stop it! Please! I'll heal you, just stop crushing my brother!" Aurora yelled. Megatron stopped and tossed an unconscious Raf at Ratchet, who caught him. Aurora flew out of Megatron's hold to hover above is actually body.

"Aurora, no!" Ratchet shouted, but it was too late. Aurora's streaks glowed and then released dark energon and let it wash over his whole frame. When she was done, Aurora quickly flew over to Ratchet, and hugged Raf as she cried. She knew that Megatron had awakened, and got up.

"Decepticons, your rightful Lord and Master has returned," Megatron said. He looked over to the two Autobots and humans. He stared a few moments at Aurora before he looked back to his troops and said as he walked out, "Finish these pests. I have my own extermination to perform."

The troops started to shoot at them, but each shot was moved to miss all of them entirely. Raf, Ratchet, and Bumblebee looked at Aurora, whose electric purple streaks glowed electric blue, along with all of her eyes.

"I won't let you hurt them!" Aurora released energon from her body, and formed four swords. She sent them to cut down each and every Decepticon there.

Time Skip

"Ratchet we need a bridge," Optimus said.

"Well, I think that can be arranged." Arcee, Bulkhead, and Optimus turned to see Bumblebee and Ratchet with their charges. Raf was hugging a cry Aurora as she continued to repeat that she was sorry.

"Why are you sorry, Light?" Arcee asked.

"I-I-I'm t-the one w-who h-healed M-Megatron," Auror replied.

Raf hugged her tightly and said, "It wasn't your fault, Aurora. You had to do it or Megatron would have crushed me to death. So you did the right thing." Aurora just nodded, bridged everyone to base, and fell asleep in Raf's arms from all the energy she used while using her abilities.

Everyone now had to worry about Aurora as Megatron knew about her. They knew that he was going to try and capture her, and use her. They had far too much to worry about now.
