The scream still echoed in his recptor as Megatron observed the screens around him on the Nemesis. Optimus had offered his help but in his rage Megatron had punched the Prime. Looking down at his clenched fists, he wondered if he had overeacted when he shook the thought away from his mind. His daughter had been taken and he wasn't going to let the Prime interfer with his killing of the scrum who had taken her. Starscream watched his leader, with a smirk on resting on his face plates as he felt the tang of sweet victory and power over the warlord.

"Soundwave where is she?" Megatron growled out. "Which worthless fleabag has taken my daughter?"

Soundwave didn't answer but point towards where there was a small signal coming from an abandoned warehouse in Japan. Megatron gave a nod to proced to the location, before he turned away.

Worry hold onto her heart, as the female alien watched one of her friends as he walked down the cooridors of his ship, glaring at anything that moved. Giving a sigh, she jumped across the rafters to follow him.

Silas watched the drugged hung up by her arms girl, with a smirk across his face. His scientists were taking blood, and removing her skin to expose her metal alloy before her bones came into view. A heart monitor was attached to her and a tube was pumping away her blood and enegon.

"Are you sure they can't find us?" he asked looking towards the hologram of his partner.

"If you don't expose her spark then they won't be able to find you at all," Starscream sneered. "Get the job done or you will wish she was alive human."

Sue observed the alien female as she punched, kicked and stabbed the dummy in their earth base.

"Mytris you need to calm down," Sue said, stopping the spinning dummy.

"How can I?" Mytris asked. "He is going to find an empty shell and then our mission will be for nothing."

Sue gave a sigh, as she looked at the lifeless KEY around her partner's neck. The soul had been destroyed after the first girl had been moved from her time. Sue knew that losing Karen had knocked Mytris' confidence as she believed that her mission had been a failure and that removing the bots past memories had made her even more determied to not get close to anyone again.

Green eyes opened slowly, blinking at the sudden bright light before she gave a gasp as she realised she was strapped to a bed, that was slanted. A wire lead to a heart monitor that was beeping away and another lead to two sepeate bags that were red and blue. Feeling how drained she felt, she realised what they were doing to her.

Hearing footsteps, she blinked a couple of times to make sure she wasn't imagining the two faces in front of her. Starscream gave a smirk as Crystal stared at him in shock before her eyes flicked to Silas.

"It was you," she whispered, looking at Starscream in shock. "Why?"

"Power," was the titan's response before he flickered out.

Silas gave a smirk as he looked at the strapped down girl as he gestured a hand at the range of surgical equipment he had and the vivals he had on display. Unpocketing a remote control with two buttons, he pressed one and Crystal gave a gasp as she was raised up by her hands. Her arm that had the needles inserted hurt before two scientists moved the tubes and took away the bags. Crystal's head leaned forward resting on her neck. The cold jagged metal that cut the skin around her chin made her realise her protoform exo-skeloten was being exposed to drain out her energon and to reach her organs that her protoform protected as well as the human bones she had coated in aluminium.

Silas obsereved the girl as she tried to raise her head back up to stare at him. When her cold green eyes meet his, he picked up a scapel and slashed at one of her eyes causing her to gave a scream as her eye was destroyed, leaving her one sighted.

Megatron grunted as pain shoot up his body and caused discomfort especially around his left optic. Knockout approached his master in concern when there was the sound of a human heart beat reaching all of the cons receptors. Megatron looked towards the source as Soundwave used a tentacle to grab the human by the scruff of their neck and hold them in front of Megatron. The human was female with brown hair with streaks of grey, blue eyes that could match the autobots own optics. She was dressed in a black cat suit with blue and white lining and a blue vest top with a white diamond necklace clasped around her neck.

"Hello Megatron," Sue said, watching the Warlord. "Long time no see."

Megatron narrowed his optics at the woman that had delievered his daughter on his ship after Melanie had disappeared due to her agency.

"What do you want?" he growled, his voice darkened and had a snarl in it.

"To find Crystal," was Sue's reply as if it was the obvious thing.

"I don't need your help human."

Sue narrowed her eyes, wondering why her friend could be married to this con at all.

"Crystal is hurt," Sue simply said. "How much longer do you think your daughter will be able to survive with what Silas and your SIC have done to her."

Megatron frowned, before his optics hardened in anger even more as he looked at Starscream. Starscream fidgited as he saw that he was getting glares from everyone around him.

"It was for the greater good my liege," Starscream said, trying to worm himself out of his sitution.

"Where is she?" Megatron growled, walking towards his SIC.

Starscream backed away but Thundercracker and Skywarp stopped him, grabbing his shoulders. Soundwave placed Sue onto his servo as he watched the interaction. Sue looked at the spy master before she looked at the screen. Frowning slightly she jumped off his hand and landed, croached down before she placed a device on the keyboard of the main monitor of the warship and a mini keyboard appeared which she started to type at. Starscream tried to get out of his trine mates gasps when the sound of a sword being extrated made him look at Megatron. Feeling the bomb that had been placed into spark chamber start to activate he gave a smirk.

"Kill me if you wish," Starscream said. "But you won't save her in time."

Knockout traced his optics and scanners over the con and saw that there was a rigged spark accrealtor that was connected to another beating spark coming from a signal in an unknown location.

"My liege he has a spark accrelator rigged to his own and another," Knockout stated, placing a hand on the sword that his lord was holding. "If he is connected to Crystal she could be killed before we can find her alive."

Megatron studied the traitor, weighing his options; kill Starscream and lose his daughter forever or let the fragger live and save his daughter, deactivate the spark accrelator and then kill the slagger. Megatron gave a smirk, scaring Starscream as he leaned forward.

"You will be dead but in the most horrible way imaginable," Megatron darkly said, his red optics darkening to the colour of blood.

Mytris watched her con friend, feeling his concern that he was hiding from his posture. Her hazel eyes flickered to her partner on is assignment as she typed on the mini keyboard so she could access the faint signture that was being transmitted. Pressing her commlink she sent Sue a message before she did her own research.

Silas smirked as he watched the hardly alive girl. Crystal's green eyes where closed as she tried to hold back the smudges of blackness that was entering her mind. The beeping was the only sound that indacted that she was still alive. Silas leaned forward placing a hand under her chin, and gripping it tightly brought her head up sharply, cutting her flesh into the knife behind her head. Crystal squinted her eyes closed tightly as she felt energon tickle down her neck and into her shirt.

"For a girl that has all that power running through your viens why not use it?" Silas questioned, circling around her.

Crystal didn't answer, bitting her tounge to stop her from saying anything.

"No answer freak," Silas stated as a soldier walked in. "Yes what is it?"

"There is an unknown signal heading our way sir," he explained. "We need to move her."

Silas frowned pending over his next course of action before he looked at Crystal. Green orbs full of hate meet his as he gave a smirk.

"Kill her and destroy her," Silas commaned as he walked away. "Now."

The sound of bones cracking meet his retreating ears and he smirked even more before he left the building.

Mytris ran across the roof of the warehouse, ignorying the call to go home as she ran. She could feel Crystal's heart beat fading away. Activating the tracker on the water tower two buildings over she jumped from the roof to land behind a guard. Using a hidden blade, she slit his throat before she took his card and she slipped into the building. Walking the maze of corriders she kept to the shadows and looked at the glowing rune around her neck. Hearing footsteps walking towards her, she jumped into the rafters and listened to what was being said.

"The commander has ordered an evaction of the compand and he has also had the project source terminated," one was saying.

Mytris narrowed her golden brown eyes before she focused her senses of finding her charge. Feelingthe weakened energy, Mytris actiaved a tiny ball of blue light. Blowing sofetly on it she let it slip from her grasp and it disappeared. Having one last look around her, Mytris conjuried a bigger ball this time made of orange and yellow light and that flickered. With a flick of her wrist the ball exploded.

Megatron looked at the building in shock as he tried to find his daughter. Starscream smirked before pain flashed through his senseors due to the bomb on his spark. Soundwave waved away the approaching cons to the traitor. Megatron looked at Starscream and grabbed him by the neck.

"This isn't the end," Megatron promised before he walked away, his spark set on finding his daughter.
