Thank's for the reviews everyone. Yes it was a sad chapter and your reviews have given me some idea's to put together. Sadly Starfire won't be coming back, she is gone forever. Here is the next one and I hope you enjoy it. Please read and review and idea's are welcome.

I want to thank a Guest for giving me an idea song for this. I thought it was a beautiful song and I just had to put it in this part. Sorry didn't know your name, but you know who you are.

The song is called The Children Sing by Story of the Year.

Don't take this, don't take this world away from me,
don't take this world away from me,
don't take this, don't take this world away from me,
don't take this, don't take this world away.

Moondancer paced back and forth in the room holding Micro close and waited for Hook to return. She was trying to relax and just hoped her friend was alright. If Megatron hurt her he was going to pay, no one hurts her friend. But yet again what could she do? She had sparkling's to watch over and she wasn't a fighterm she was only a helper and friendly femme that's it. But as for Darklight she was someone that didn't stand down and did the most craziest thing's, it even surprised the decepticon's about who she was. But hearing her scream for the first time in her life it sent pain all throw her body and feared so much for her. She wan't to run and find her, but knew she had to stay with her sparkling's.

The future decides the roles we play,
the struggles to sell the past away,
the after thought is staring back on better days,
cause our daughters and sons will live to pay,
through every mistake that we have made,
through every conviction we've betrayed,
so let the children sing.

Don't take this, don't take this world away from me,
don't take this world away from me.

The door to the room opened reviling Hook along with Thundercracker.

She stared at them, seeing pain in there optics and hurt over the face "What's wrong?" She wanted to know what happened.

Thundercracker looked at her and she could see he was trying his best to hold his tears in, something wasn't right at all.

"P-please...tell me" She didn't like them giving her the silent treatment.

Hook unfolded his arms, he held a blanket around something and walked past Dancer. All she could do was watch as Hook placed the bundle on the table and uncovered the blanket, showing the lifeless body of Starfire.

"No" Her whisper ever so soft and filled with fear "No no no..." She repeated over again.

"She's gone" Thundercracker spoke "Megatron took her life"

Dancer placed her son down in his crib and went over to them "H-hook help her" She grabbed onto his arm in a begging way "P-please you have to save her"

"I can't" His answer was simple yet not what she wanted to hear "Her spark is out" He sighed "If I could I would"

Yeah,
so while we contempt to waste away,
the answer that only time could chase,
the question we'll ask ourselves from here, to eternity,
will it be worth the price to pay,
to living the lives of our remains,
how do you think we will explain,
when the children sing.

Don't take this, don't take this world away from me,
don't take this world away from me.

Moondancer let out tears and soft sobs escaped her lips, softly rubbing Starfire's helm and running her finger tips over her black optics. Thundercracker wrapped his arm around her should in a comfort matter, holding her and trying to let her know she wasn't alone and she returned the hug. All Hook could do was let everyone say there goodbyes before he would safely put the body away, somewhere Darklight will choose.

"W-why?" Dancer whimpered "Why d-did Megatron do this?"

"He's the leader" Hook firmly said "He can do what he wants" He didn't sound happy at all what his leader did.

"Still, it was over the top" TC growled "Even for him, taking a life away at so young"

"Don't say that when he's around" Hook warned him "You will regret it"

Can we find a way,
to face today,
with the eye on the things to come,
cause mistakes we've madebring on decay,
and our chance to make a difference will be gone,
oh,
yeah, yeah.

so this is the price to pay,
for living in our remains,
just listen as the children sing.

Astrotrain came walking into the medic bay, holding a shaking and still in death shock Darklight in his arms. After Hook took Starfire's body he got her and wanted to bring her somewhere he knew will be safe and here was the only one.

"How is she?" Hook asked.

"Not good" Was Astrotrain's reply and took her over to the furtherest berth in the room, thinking it was for the best if she was away from Moondancer's sparkling's.

He placed her down and went away before coming back and throwing a blanket over her "Do you need anything?" He asked her.

She was silence, didn't even move. She only laid there in shock and fear. Her body was still shaking and her lips trembled still.

"Thank you for bringing her here" Hook said "I'll run a few tests soon"

"Let me know if there is anything I can do for her" He said, letting him know he wasn't as bad as everyone thought.

"I will"

Moondancer slowly came over to her friend and knelt down in front of her "Darklight?" She whispered to her.

Don't take this, don't take this world away from me,
don't take this, don't take this world away from me.

Darklight looked up to her and in a split second she jumped forward and wrapped her arms around her friend's neck tightly, letting out a painful sob and cry on her shoulder "S-she's gone" She moaned "S-starfire is g-gone" She coughed.

"Shh shh shh. Be strong. Be strong" Dancer whispered back, rubbing her back and holding her tighter.

Darklight sobbed on her shoulder "It's all my f-fault!" She yelled out "She's offline b-because of me"

"Don't you dare blame yourself for this" Dancer told her "This was not your fault" She tried her best to comfort her friend and hold in her tears.

"S-she's gone because I-I wouldn't s-submit to Megatron" She coughed a few sobs and felt her painful optics flicker with shock.

"Stop blaming yourself" Dancer held her face up to look at her poor face "Be strong. Be brave"

Darklight only nodded her helm, giving her friend another hug and letting out a painful cry again, feeling weak and powerless.

The other's watched as the two femmes were together, not knowing what else to do or how to fix anything. Starfire was gone, Megatron had broken Darklight and she was in her worst way ever. Thundercracker looked around and saw Starscream was no were to be seen, which was really strange. He should be here comforting her, but why wasn't he?

"I'll be right back"

Don't take this world away from me,
Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Hook watched as he left and looked back over at the femmes, letting out a sigh at the sight before him.

Dancer came back over Hook, feeling sick and numb from seeing a sight she never thought she would see.

"I can't believe this is happening" She wrapped her arms around herself for cover.

"Will you be alright?" Bonecrusher asked coming over to her.

"Y-yeah" She nodded "I-it just will be hard"

"I know" He gently wrapped his arm around her shoulder and held her close. She stared for a moment before nuzzling her helm into him "I'll be around. The same with the rest of us, we will help Darklight with this"

"He's right" Hook answered.

"How did this all happen?" Dancer asked.

Long Haul shrugged his shoulders "From what I herd Megatron managed to get some recorded footage when you were from the autobot base. He sent Lazerbeak-"

Dancer cut him off "You said Lazerbeak?"

"Y-yeah...why?"

She thought for a moment before frowning and moving away from Bonecrusher, heading to the exit.

"Where are you going?" Hook asked.

"I'll be right back. Bonecrusher please look after the sparkling's" With that she was gone and out the room.

Meanwhile Thundercracker had entered the seekers quarters looking for Starscream since he wasn't answering his com and couldn't be found anywhere. He looked around for a short moment before heading into Starscream's own room. He wasn't surprised to see him sitting on his berth, but strangely he was just staring at the wall with no emotion and neutral look.

"Starscream?" He asked.

He turned around to see his friend and faced back where he was again "Hey" was his answer.

"What are you doing here?"

"This is my room isn't it?"

"I know that. I mean why are you here and not with Darklight?" Thundercracker thought Starscream was making no sense at all.

"Why should I be with her?" His voice sounded so bitter.

"I'm sorry, didn't you just see what Megatron did? Starfire is dead, Darklight is moaning in pain and your here staring at the wall. What's going on?"

"I know what happened. I saw it all" Starscream sighed "I just don't want to see Darklight"

"Talk to me Starscream" Thundercracker came in front of him "I can't help if your going to only bring up more questions"

"She betrayed me"

"Betrayed? How?"

He shook his helm and stood up, walking out the room but was only stopped when his arm was grabbed.

"I'm not letting you go until you tell me what happened? Please"

Starscream look his arm back and faced him "Darklight meant the world to me, she was my life. I have never felt this feeling for any femme before and I thought she was the one"

"I know. She is amazing and is perfect for you, so why are you here?"

"You want to know?" He glared "She fragged Skyfire!"

His shout was not expected, nor was his answer. Thundercracker was not expecting this.

"S-she what?"

"The autobot Skyfire and Darklight interfaced" He made it more clear "I feel hurt and betrayed. I don't see why I should be with her after what she did"

"I-I..." Thundercracker didn't know what to say, it was hard to get together "I'm sorry, I didn't know"

"No one did"

"B-but how did you find out?"

"Megatron had footage of them, he showed it to me"

"That's his game"

"What?"

"Don't you see? This is his plan. He wants to destroy you and Darklight and he has done that now"

"B-but what she did is still true"

"Yeah...I know. But you can't cut her out now"

"Why not?"

"Because she needs you more then ever now, she is suffering slowly and she needs a shoulder to cry on and that is yours. I'm sure if you give her a chance she will explain why she slept with Skyfire"

Starscream stared at him with worry and looked away with shame.

"Do you love her?" His answer was very simple.

"Yes. But I'm mad at her"

"I know you are. Go see her, give her a hug and bring her back here. You have all the time in the world to talk and sort thing's out. I don't want to see you two get destroyed. I've never seen you so happy before and she is the only one that can do that"

Starscream was glad he had a trine member like Thundercracker with him. He always knew how to talk to someone and sort out a problem. So he took his word and did as he was told.

"Alright. I'll go see her"

"Come on"

Elsewhere in the base Moondancer was storming down the hall and towards Soundwave's quarters, anger was boiling in her body and she was going to have a hard and good talk with him. She reached his door and started to bang her fist on it loudly, waiting for an answer before the door quickly hissed opened.

"Alright alright take it easy" Rumble shourted "Where's the fire?" He asked as it was a joke.

"Move it" She firmly said and pushed his aside and storming in.

"U-umm...boss you have company" Frenzy called out as a warning.

Dancer walked into Soundwave's Quarters expecting he was there "Soundwave!" She shouted but he wasn't to be seen.

She quickly walked out and spotted both Rumble and Frenzy "Where the frag is is?"

"H-he's around" His answer was useless.

"Soundwave!" She shouted again.

He then finally came out into view, out of another room and saw Dancer.

"Moondancer?" He asked in surprise.

She turned around and saw him. With glaring optics she quickly walked over to him and gave a hard slap across his face.

"It's all your fault!" She yelled at his face.

Soundwave held his face that stung and looked back at her in shock, trying to think why she was so upset.

"I-I think we will wait outside" Rumble spoke and left quickly with his brother right behind him.

Soundwave then spoke "What's wrong?"

"Oh like you don't know" Dancer crossed her arms "Everything was fine and perfect. It was all going to be good until you sent your pet to spy on us"

He sighed as he now understood "I was only following order's Darklight, nothing more, nothing less. I missed you deeply and I wanted to see you again, along with my daughter. I didn't want you out of my life"

She wasn't understanding what he was saying "You think this is about following order's?"

"Isn't this about that?"

Dancer then thought she should ask "D-do you have any idea what just happened about an hour ago? Do you know what Megatron did?"

"Answer: He was going to talk with Darklight and Starscream. Is that correct?"

She stared as she thought he had no idea what he did. So she thought she would just say it "Megatron killed Starfire"

She got her answer when he stared blankly at her. No movement and just silent until he asked one small word "Repeat, please?"

"Megatron killed Starfire. He took her spark away from in front of Darklight as a punishment. She is lost and almost dying from what she just saw with her optics. She was all she had left in her life and now she's gone and it's all your fault"

"I don't see how this is my fault"

"If you didn't send you bird to spy on us Starfire would be alive and we would be fine. But no you can't get over me!" Fresh tears pricked in her optics as she started to yell at him. She then stared to bash her fists into his chest "She's gone and it's all your fault!" YOUR FAULT! YOUR FAULT!"

Her screams repeated over and over again at him, her fists starting to hurt as she continued to hit him with all her strength. Soon she felt him leaning closer to her and holding her hitting hands with his own. Then he started to move forward and wrapped his arms slowly around her body.

"LET ME GO!" She screamed with anger, but he didn't move.

It wasn't long before she felt his soft touch and started to lean into him, crying and sobbing softly into his chest and wrapping her own arms around his neck.

"Hush now" He spoke, stroking her helm "Calm down" He wanted her to relax before letting go.

"P-please..." She wasn't sure why she was saying please but it was all she could say right now"

Soon she was wrapped all in his hold and returned it to him, feeling his comfort and relaxing touch on her own was all she needed to relax and catch her breath. He then looked down at her and moved back to see her optics flicker with fresh tears.

"W-why?" She asked " Why would you let him do that?"

"I didn't"

She blinked a few times "I-I'm sorry?"

"I had no idea Megatron was going to do that, if I did I would have talked him out of it. I'm very sorry I couldn't"

"A-are you telling me the truth?"

"I swear on my spark" He placed her hand over his "I wouldn't lie to you"

"B-but...she's gone. Darklight is hurt"

"Where is she?"

"She's in the medic bay. I think she needs some help to recover"

"She sure will. She has many friends here to help her"

Dancer looked at him, confused with why he was so kind "Why are you doing this?" She moved back from him.

"Doing what?"

"Before all this you treated me and Darklight like crap and now you think were apart of your life now"

"I already said I was sorry, I didn't know you. Now I do and you have given life to my sparkling, you mean a lot to me and I would do anything for you"

"Listen" She covered her helm in a thinking matter and moved away more "This isn't about us right now. This is about Darklight"

"I understand, and like I said I would do anything for you"

"You've already said that" She sighed "But you have hurt me so much before I don't know if I can trust you"

"I know. But you have to trust me if we want this to work"

"What's this?" She narrowed her optics.

He offered his hand to her "Come, I want to show you something"

At first she wasn't sure, but yet again she wanted to see what he had to show her. She accepted it and she was lead into the room Soundwave had come out of. Soundwave lead her in and opened the door to show her, something he had been working on for a while. Moondancer looked into the room and let out a soft gasp, wide optics and small opened mouth "Primes" She whispered.

The room was small, yet it was filled with a large hand made crib, stuff with many cybertron dolls, earth stuff animals and soft blankets. But what was the most amazing was what he did with the walls around the room. It was filled with many stars, glowing brightly and many different planets spinning around. Cybertron was the biggest and was placed just above the crib.

"Soundwave" She spoke as she looked around "It's beautiful"

"It took a while to put together, but in the end it was worth it. I wanted something special for the sparkling's"

As Dancer looked around she realised he did this for one reason "Soundwave, this won't make me fall for you"

"I know" He stroked her helm softly "I know you have feeling's for both Bonecrusher and I and you want to not be with anyone, but like I said I won't give up on you. Have you thought about moving in with me?"

"I have" She sighed "B-but it's not as easy as it looks" She said and shook her helm slowly "Anyway we have plenty of time to talk about this, right now Darklight needs me and I have to get back with my sparkling's" She made her way out the room, taking one last look at the room and leaving.

Soundwave sighed as she was gone, he already missed her. But as well he was trying to think over what his leader did. He was loyal that's for sure but what he did was cruel. He knew his leader and knew he was capable of anything, destroying is what decepticons did. He won't ask his leader why he did it, what was done is done now and nothing can change that.

Back in the medic bay Darklight was rocking back and forth slowly on the berth she sat on with the blanket wrapped around her. Hook had offered her energon but she just ignored it, continuing to stare and rock.

"Is she alright?" Bonecrusher asked as he held Micro with him.

"Everything came up normal on the tests, but she isn't doing well. She's in shock and is cutting everyone out around her"

The door to the room opened and Thundercracker came walking in, with Starscream behind him. Both wandered over to the group and Starscream looked up to see Darklight. He made his way over to her, slowly and carefully.

"Where has he been?" Hook whispered with a frown.

TC sighed "I'll explain later, right now he's the only one that can help her"

The group watched as Starscream got closer to Darklight. He wasn't sure why he was here or what he was doing but knew by the looks of Darklight she wasn't well and wanted to be held by someone. He understood what she was going through, he felt like an idiot for not being there for her. But he was just so mad. He let anger get in the way and everything was a mess. He was close enough to touch her shoulder gently now, feeling how cold she was sent chills through his body.

"D-darklight?"

The familuar voice got her to look up finally, she also stopped her rocking like a crazy bot. She looked up into hisoptics and saw there was hurt in him still, but who could blame him. She betrayed him, he had every right to be mad at her.

"Starscream" She whsipered but looked away with shame "You shouldn't be here"

"Why not?" He knelt down at the berth next to her.

"B-because..." She whimpered softly and let out a sob "I-I'm a bitch"

"Starscream sighed and placed his hand over hers "I am mad. I won't lie, you did hurt me. But you need me, am I right?"

Darklight shook and nodded her helm, holding his hand tighter not wanting him to go.

"We will talk about this later, right now you need some rest. Come on I'll bring you back"

"Y-you won't leave me...w-will you?"

He stared into her tearful optics and shook his helm "I won't leave, I'll be there for you" Starscream scooped her up in his arms and held her close, feeling her wrapping her arms around his shoulders and nuzzling her helm into his neck.

"I-I promise...I'll make it up to you" She whispered.

"Shh" Starscream wanted her to be silent "Like I said, we will talk about this later"

"Ok"

Starscream walked past the other's making his way out the room, as he reached the door he turned back around to face them "I'll let you know about everything later"

"Thank's Starscream" Thundercracker smiled. He was glad his friend was taking her aay now, back to there room and have a relaxing and quiet recharge before having a talk. That's the way it should be. The group watched as they were gone before looking at TC "So what happened?"

TC looked over and saw everyone had there optics on him. He sighed "Darklight-" he was cut off when Moondancer came back in.

"Where did you go off to?" Hook asked.

"O-oh just somewhere. I needed to sort something out"

"You alright?" Bonecrusher asked.

"I'm fine, thanks for asking"

Micro looked up to see his mother and reached his arms out to her, letting out soft gurgles and chirps.

"I think someone missed you" Bonecrusher handed him over and smiled to see Dancer holdhim close and kiss his helm softly.

"It's alright baby I'm here" She spoke to him.

"So tell us what happened" Mixmaster asked.

"What's going on?" Dancer asked.

"Alright I'll explain" TC sighed.

"W-wait where's Darklight?" Dancer asked seeing she wasn't in the berth anymore.

"She's with Starscream"

"Finally" She said "What was his problem?"

"I'm about to explain but you can't speak a word of this to anyone, got it?"

Everyone nodded and waited for what he had to say.

"Darklight slept with someone while she was at the autobot base"

"What? N-no your wrong she wouldn't do that I know her" Dancer said.

"Megatron showed Starscream footage of it happening"

Dancer was stun to hear this. She knew her friend, she wasn't the type to go around and sleep with anyone. She was more like that.

"Who was it?" Hook asked.

"Skyfire"

"Oh frag" Hook sighed "Starscream's worst enemy"

"B-but why?" Long Haul asked.

TC gave them a shrug "That's all I know"

While the group chatted Dancer handed Micro back to Bonecrusher and walked past everyone. She went over to the table where Starfire's grey body lay, covered by a blanket Hook had put over her so she wasn't to be seen. Dancer sat in a chair and slowly uncovered it from her, looking in to see her. She held in her tears and took a deep breath, moving her hand in and holding her small and limb hand with her's. She felt so cold, so limb and broken. It was a sad day, everyone knew it.

"Primus be with you Starfire" She whsipered "Your with your parents now. Find your way to the well of all sparks"

Thank you for reading and I do hope you all are not too upset about Starfire's death. Please review and idea's are welcome.
