The warm winds hit against the fast flying shuttle. Skyfire was going back to the Ark at top speed. He slowed down when he saw visual. He landed in front of the Ark and opened his door. Everyone quickly stumbled out. Sunstreaker and Sideswipe carefully hauled Starscream's body out of Skyfire, before he transformed back to bot form. He looked down at Starscream. He held a sadden face. Energon still leaked from him, his optics flickered here and there. Skyfire stretched out his arms and lifted Starscream from the twins arms. He cradled Starscream close to him. He rushed inside, leaving the rest behind, to the Med Bay.

"Ratchet!" shouted Skyfire

He voice echoed throughout the Ark. Ratchet slightly jumped at the loud voice. He heard heavy footsteps afterwards. Skyfire barged into the Med Bay, holding a badly injured Starscream.

"Skyfire! What did you bring him here?!," shouted Ratchet

"Don't ask questions Ratchet. Can you please help him? He is going to offline if you don't.," said Skyfire.

He looked at Ratchet with pleading optics. Ratchet was a little hesitant, but he scoffed.

"Get him on the berth Skyfire, then leave. I have a bot to save.," ordered Ratchet

Skyfire smiled. His optics seem to bright up a bit, before carefully placing down Starscream on the Medical berth. Ratchet was gathering his medical equipment. Skyfire took one last look at Starscream, then left the Med Bay to give Ratchet room. He looked down at his own servos. Dried Energon covered his servos. He frowned.

"There was so much Energon leaking from him. I was surprised their was still more of it in him. Heh, he is still full of surprises.," thought Skyfire

"Skyfire? May I have a word with you?,"

Skyfire jumped from the voice. His wings perked up immediately, hitting something with a 'thunk'. He turned around to see Optimus on the floor rubbing his chin, with Ironhide kneeling by his side.

"O-O-O-Optimus?! I am so so soo sorry! You scared me and I didn't think y-y-you were that close I-,"

"Whoa Skyfire, at ease. I am not mad. I should have been more careful. I keep forgetting that you have wings, since you keep them down most of the time in here. Anyway-," Optimus got up with the aid of Ironhide. "I came here to check on you. Your EM field became extremely tense and furious when Prowl was referring to Starscream."

"Indeed… I am sorry. It just that…. I still care for Starscream-."

"But he's a Decepticon!," shouted Ironhide

"I do not let factions of war get in the way of what and who Starscream is Ironhide! He was my Science Partner and closest friend before this war. This war changed him for the worst. You can not just strap on weapons and install battlefield protocols to a scientist and expect him to stay sane!," Skyfire's shouting can be heard throughout the Ark and especially to the ones who were peeking around the corner of the hall. Tears were threating to fall down his faceplates. Ironhide and Optimus Prime were taken back by Skyfire's voice. Skyfire noticed their expressions and realized his tone of voice.

"I'm….I apologize. I did not mean to raise my voice at you two. You both have nothing to do with this.," spoke Skyfire in a soft voice. A couple of years ran down his face. "Please excuse me, I need some time to myself.," Skyfire walked away quickly away from Optimus and Ironhide and to his room.

"Now I feel guilty. I do not know I hit a sensitive wire there. I didn't mean make the big lug to cry.," explain Ironhide

"It is alright Ironhide. I know you did not mean to, though it would not hurt to be a little sensitive for Skyfire sake? You should have known the history between him and Starscream.," explained Optimus

Ironhide sighed. "I could have given him some slack."

"Come on Ironhide, we should go back and check on rest of the crew. Jazz is waiting outside for Prowl and the rest of the crew is unease.," explained Optimus

"Alright Optimus.," answered Ironhide

Skyfire laid down on his berth. He blankly stared at the ceiling.

"Starscream I will do anything to keep you safe….. I will do anything to make you feel safe. I want you back.," thought Skyfire

Skyfire sighed.

"I know that you are suppose to keep moving forward, never to look back, but…. I can't…..not without him by my side. Call it obsession, I not giving up on Starscream. I will, somehow, get him back in my arms.," Skyfire sat up with a knew sense of determination.

"I will have him back if I work hard and stay focus on him. Yeah. Maybe he can come back…to me.," said Skyfire. He smiled and his optics brighten up at the thoughts of hugging and talking to Starscream again.
