"Shockblast, is that you?" Megatron asked the dark shadow.

"Of course it's me. Who did you expect, Shockwave?" asked Shockblast coming out of the shadows.

"You fool, Optimus is our new comrade, and I thought that I told every Decepticon to stay back at base. Return now," said Megatron slapping Shockblast.

"Of course Lord Megatron, Shockwave just wanted to know if anything had changed in Bumblebee," said Shockblast leaving. "Just send the information to him."

The Decepticon was soon gone. Megatron and Soundwave went back inside. Soundwave went over to Optimus and watched him rest. Megatron went to Bumblebee. To his surprise, Bumblebee's body was half normal color and half evil yellow and black that was darker than his normal color.

"Ratchet, something is wrong with Bumblebee. He isn't himself," said Megatron looking at the scout.

"What are you…. by the Allspark. Bumblebee is different," said Ratchet walking over and looking at the scout.

He examined Bumblebee until Bulkhead showed up.

"Ratchet, Optimus wants to see you alone," said Bulkhead walking over to the medic about eleven minutes later.

"Alright, have Wheeljack see what is wrong with Bumblebee," said Ratchet going over to his leader.

Optimus was alone in his room waiting for his old friend.

"Ratchet, how is my scout?" asked Optimus turning his head to see the medic.

"I don't know. Half of him is a darker than normal. There is also a Decepticon insignia on one shoulder, and ours on the other," explained Ratchet looking worried. He sat down and took Optimus' hand and held it in his own.

"That is strange. I wonder if Megatron knows anything, but let's worry about him later. Are you sure that Bumblebee will be alright?" questioned Optimus.

"I am not sure. I will do my best to solve the puzzle, but I am more concerned about you," said Ratchet.

"Don't be, I will be alright. You just worry about Bumblebee," said Optimus letting Ratchet leave the room. "And I need Soundwave and Megatron."

Ratchet saw Wheeljack talking to Megatron. They were arguing about something. Wheeljack had Megatron pinned to the wall. Soundwave was being held back by Ironhide. He had been beaten badly by the Autobots just by trying saving Megatron.

"What is going on?" demanded Ratchet walking over to Wheeljack.

"Megatron was the one that changed Bumblebee," said Wheeljack stepping away from Megatron, letting him fall to the ground. Ironhide released Soundwave, allowing him to go to Megatron.

"That was Shockwave who did, not me. I told you that I just watched, but that was when I was still a Decepticon," said Megatron getting up with Soundwave's help.

"That's a lie! I even heard you admit it width my own audio receptors," said Wheeljack.

"Look we will discuss this later. I think that Megatron is telling the truth but there is a possibility that he may be lying," said Ratchet. "Optimus is still dying, but I don't think that he knows that. Or it's something else that he is fighting. He has enough problems right now, let's not give him anymore. Let's all pretend that this never happened. Megatron, Soundwave, Optimus needs to speak with the two of you, so please follow me."

The three of them went into the room that Optimus Prime was in. He was waiting for the two 'Autobots'. After about forty-seven minutes, Megatron and Soundwave went outside.

"Shockwave, come in," said Megatron.

"Yes Lord Megatron," said Shockwave.

"Shockblast said that you wanted the results of Bumblebee. Half of him is a darker color," said Megatron. "And we will soon be bringing Optimus Prime. So I want you to get things ready for his arrival."

"That is strange. I will see what I can conclude of this mishap," said Shockwave.

The two Decepticons went back inside after nine hours. They went inside the room that Optimus was in that night. Megatron took Optimus and brought him back to Decepticon HQ. Shockblast welcomed the two of them back and lead Megatron to Shockwave and Sixshot.

"Lord Megatron, thank the Allspark you're back. Things have been rather lonesome without you here," said Starscream walking into the room.

"Yes, and I have brought our new comrade. He still needs lots of healing, but he is still useful," said Megatron putting Optimus on an empty table.

Soundwave came in and whispered something to Megatron. He nodded and left with Soundwave.

"Lord Megatron, where are you going?" asked Starscream going after his master.

"We need to go back to Autobot Meeting Hall. The others are questioning where we are. Same with Optimus Prime," said Megatron turning to see his second-in-command.

They left for Autobot Meeting Hall. Megatron told Soundwave to do as planned. When he got there, he saw Bellybon and Blackbeards training with glowing swords. They were the rare white-sabers.

"Come on father, I thought that yer was suppose to train, not beat me," said Bellybon breathing hard.

"This is how we pirates train, not the Autobots. We make it easy for the young one. Just be glad that I ain't it hard on you," said Blackbeards.

"That is training? I have never seen it done that way before," said Megatron acting hurt.

"Yup, this is only Bellybon's first time training with a real weapon. He needs lots more practice, but I am sure that the Decepticon way is much different," said Blackbeards sheathing his sword.

"Soundwave and I will be glad to show you our way of training someday, but right now I need to get Jazz to help me find Soundwave. He may be badly injured," explained Megatron looking down at the two pirates.

"Why, what happened?" asked Jazz going outside. "Why would you choose me?"

"I trust you and you are Optimus Prime's first-in-command. Why wouldn't I ask for your help?" asked Megatron turning around to see the smaller Autobot.

"Alright, I will help you. Just tell me what happened," said Jazz walking with Megaton.

"We heard something in Optimus' part. We had decided to keep watch over him in case anything went wrong. I saw Thundercracker with Optimus leaving through the hole in the roof. Soundwave and I followed him to a run-downed building. An ambush had been planned by the Decepticons. Swindle had blinded me that lasted for three hours. When I was able to see again, Soundwave was gone," Megatron lied.
