Dark Star and Galvatron walked up to the domain they lived in. Matalic was sitting at the table. She was crying hard and slightly rocking back and forth while holding her helm. Galvatron felt his spark break at the sight of his sparkmate crying. Dark Star went up to her and rubbed her back.

"What's wrong mom?" asked Dark Star.

"I just miss your father. That's all," said Matalic.

"Matalic," Galvatron said softly and walked toward her. Matalic was startled and grabbed Dark Star, pulling her behind her. She then grabbed a chair and broke it over Galvatron's helm. Galvatron fell to the floor with the broken chair.

"Mom, why are you hurting dad?" asked Dark Star. "He came back to us."

"It is true my love," said Galvatron and got up. "Unicron brought me back so that he can use me and body. My new name is Galvatron."

"Megatron, now matter what you look like or what you are called, you will always be my Megatron," said Matalic and kissed him.

Galvatron kissed back and hugged her. Dark Star smiled and got her father's favorite flavored Energon to give him. Galvatron thanked Dark Star for the Energon and drank. The coolness of the fuel washed over his glossa and into his fuel tanks. He moaned as he was fueling on the sweet tasting Energon. It was late, so they went to bed.

***Later that night***

Starscream was heading home after a party. He walked the streets, as his wings were hit and are now too sore to fly. The seeker froze as he heard something move in a dark alley. With his null ray guns warmed up, he pointed it in the direction of the sound. A blast of Dark Energon hit Starscream, sending him flying into a nearby building.

"What the heck?" Starscream exclaimed.

A dark figure walked up to him. He gripped the seeker's wings roughly and leaned in close. Starscream whimpered as his wings were being crushed and bent. He could see a glowing purple blade form and keened in pain as it pierced him. The screams of pain and distress echoed into the night.

"Have a great day at school sweetie," said Matalic. "Just remember that your father will be coming to pick you up."

"I remember. See ya mom," said Dark Star and headed inside.

The final class of the day came. Ratchet greeted the class. He started to teach them the healthy ways of living. He was just about to play a video that shows what it was like in the lower castes when Knock Out came in.

"Knock Out, is everything alright? You look like you are going to crash," said Ratchet.

"I am. We just found Starscream near the alley by Thundercracker's place. He's in critical condition. We found with with crushed and bent wings and a dark infection of some kind from something used with Dark Energon. I know that you retired, but I need your help. He's crashed 5 times. Fix is keeping him stable. She told me to go get you to help," said Knock Out. Ratchet nodded.

"Class, behave for the last bit of class. I need to go help at the hospital," said Ratchet and got some things he would need from the back of the classroom.

"Ratchet, is everything alright?" asked Dark Star. "And you better tell me honestly and right now."

"I have to go help with Starscream. He was attacked and I need to go help," said Ratchet.

"What?!" Havoc shouted. She tried to run to the hospital, but Dark Star and Chrome held her back. "Let me go! Dad needs me!"

"Havoc, calm down. They'll help your father. He'll be alright," Dark Star tried to sooth her. Havoc went to the floor and cried. "Ratchet, go help Starscream."

Ratchet and Knock Out left. They rushed into the operation room just as Starscream crashed again. The three of them worked hard and then Starscream became stable. Ratchet mainly had Energon on him. Fix informed her sparkmate that he needs to go out and tell Nightshade that he made it. Ratchet went out and Nightshade walked to him.

"Nightshade, Starscream will survive. The operation was successful," Ratchet said.

"Thank the Allspark," said Nightshade.

***Back at the school***

Dark Star and Chrome came out with Havoc still crying, but not as much. Galvatron was waiting outside when he saw the three. Chrome went with his father and sister. Dark Star looked at her father and led Havoc with her.

"Dad, can we go to the hospital? Starscream is there after being attacked," said Dark Star.

"We can head there," said Galvatron. Havoc beamed a bit and they left.

They walked inside and spotted Fix. Dark Star went up and asked for which room Starscream was in. She came back and lead them there. Havoc walked into the room and sat on her mom's lap. Starscream was hooked to an Energon drip and the machine gave a steady beep, matching his steady sparkbeat. Dark Star and Galvatron left home.

On the way there, law enforcers surrounded Galvatron after taking Dark Star away from Galvatron. They pointed guns at Galvatron. Dark Star struggled against Prowl. Galvatron tried getting to his daughter, but was held back and then thrown to the ground.

"Dad!" Dark Star shouted.

"Galvatron, you are under arrest for attempting to kill Starscream," said Prowl.

"What?! I didn't attack him. I just recently learned of what happened to him," said Galvatron.

"Then explain why Dark Energon was used on him. You are the only one that has and controls Dark Energon," said Prowl. "Even Starscream said that you attacked him."

"I don't know what you are talking about. I only had used Dark Energon when Unicron brought me back," said Galvatron.

"It's true. My father didn't attack Starscream. He cares for all," said Dark Star.

"Tell that to the judge," said Prowl.

The law enforcers put cuffs on Galvatron and took him away. Dark Star pleaded to let him go. Prowl wouldn't answer her and took her Optimus' house. He knocked on the door and Frost answered.

"Prowl, is everything alright?" asked Frost.

"Yes, where's Optimus?" asked Prowl.

"He's in his room. Want me to go get him?" Frost asked.

"Yes please, as it is urgent that we talk," said Prowl. Optimus came out and stood next to Frost.

"Prowl, has Dark Star done something?" asked Optimus when he saw Dark Star there.

"No she hasn't, but her father has. I need you to watch her and make sure she doesn't get away," said Prowl and handed the youngling over and left.

"Dark Star, what happened?" asked Optimus. Dark Star wouldn't answer, but started to cry. "Please Dark Star, answer me."

"T-t-t-they t-took me a-a-a-way fr-from h-him," Dark Star said as she cried. "They said th-that d-d-d-dad tri-ed to k-k-kill Star-Starscream, when he d-d-d-didn't-t-t."

"Shhh, it's alright Dark Star. I'll talk to Prowl and see what happened to Starscream. Frost, please take her to your room and calm her," said Optimus.

"Alright dad. Come on Dark Star," said Frost and left with her cousin.
