The Autobots drove throught the darkness of the night. Optimus Prime was over thinking his actions and about the..monster...he almost became. That monster..the one he thought would never take over ,like it did to his dreams. He didn't want this monster to take over him. He shuddered in horror, forgetting about the three humans inside of him.

"You okay, Optimus? You're shaking a lot." Spike said.

"Spike, it's just that I'm worried about Bumblebee..." Optimus Prime sighed.

"Don't worry. I'm sure we'll find him!" Spike said.

Optimus Prime sighed and whispered, "I really hope so,Spike..."

They drove in silence for a while...well almost silence. With Optimus Prime's sighs and the Autobots searching it wasn't that quiet. It seemed kind of eerie since the night was ussualy quiet. This night was an exception,however. The night of betrayl, horror and a lost friendship...well, possibly lost friendship.

"I'm a monster.." Optimus Prime sighed as he drove along. The other Autobots drove in every nook and cranny to try to find Bumblebee.

"No, your not.." Spike said imedetily. "It was my fault you almost killed Bumblebee."

"Spike, you didn't know what my fear was when you suggest it. It's one hundered percent my fault." Optimus Prime said. He was hoping that would be it and Spike would not blame himself anymore. It was all his fault. That's all that went through his mind. He had made a horrible choice, and one that could wreck the Autobots team forever. "What kind of leader am I?" He solemly thought to himself.

Spike, however (Despite Optimus Prime's constant begging not to.) Partly blamed himself for this. He didn't ask what Prime's fear was. If he knew he would NEVER suggest killing Bumblebee, like he did this time. He didn't blame Prime much. They might of handled things diffrently on Cybertron . And besides, they were in a war with the Deceptions. In wars one of the only things going on in your head is killing. Sure Optimus had other things to think about such as, keeping earth and the humans safe,leading the Autobots and much more. Being a leader was a big responsiblity.

Spike sighed and looked out of Optimus Prime's window. He was also hoping,Bumblebee was alright. Optimus Prime kept telling him to stop blaming himself, but he couldn't Spike felt guilty. He yelled,

"Bumblebee!" out the window. He sighed again. He thought it might of been hopeless,but he kept trying. Optimus Prime still kept going and tried to calm Spike down. It failed. Spike was soon almost at the point of tears. He almost hugged Prime's dashboard, but decided not to. It would be awkward, and he wasn't sure if it would make Optimus Prime uncomfterbale or if he wouldn't care. He deiceded to stay still and think.

He thought about Bumblebee. Bumblebee was the one he often rode in. Bumblebee, was also a very kind Autobot. He also cared for the humans, like Prime, but with less responibilties. Much less. Like it mattered. Even though he wasn't leader, it didn't make him less important. They were searching for him like,they'd be searching for Optimus Prime if he went missing. And that was an intense way to search.

Chip was sitting still in the middle seat, still unsure if he could still trust Optimus Prime.

"Are you alright,Chip?" Sparkplug asked. He noticed Chip was unaturly still.

"Sparkplug, I-I'm not sure if I can trust Optimus Prime, anymore." Chip said nervously.

"Chip...please..I never wanted to become a monster.." Optimus Prime said sadly. "I don't want to scare you."

Chip sighed and stayed silent as Optimus Prime pleaded. He was unsure what to think of him. Sure, he saved them many times, but almost killing Bumblebee? THAT instantly makes you untrustable. He felt safe in Prime though, because he was with Spike and Sparkplug. He didn't blame Spike at all, he blamed it all on Optimus Prime. He ussually didn't hold grudges, but Bumblebee was one of his best friends. He would be in full terror and sadness if Optimus Prime killed Bumblebee. Emotions just worked that way..if someone kills one of your best and closest friends who you went through a lot with, you wouldn't trust them.

He studied the interor of Optimus Prime as he thought if he should trust Optimus Prime. Prime wasn't killing him. No, he was trying desperatly to say he wasn't a monster and he wasn't threating him, and he really wanted to find Bumblebee to apologize and prove he wasn't a monster.

"That will be hard to do. Trying to wrong, somthing that you are.." Chip thought.

Sparkplug started to trust Optimus Prime again. He was putting out an honest effort to find Bumblebee and apologize. Sparkplug felt alwful for yelling at him before. He didn't blame Spike ethier. Spike had no idea of Optimus Prime's fear, so he wouldn't ground Spike or anything like that.

"Prime..it isn't your fault." Sparkplug tried to soothe him.

"No..it's all my fault.." Optimus Prime sighed sadly.

"I agree.." Chip said in an unusal angered tone. Sparkplug noticed Chip had been acting diffrently. He didn't like the way Chip was treating Optimus Prime. Optimus Prime had realized his mistake and no longer wanted to kill anyone. He couldn't control his nightmares, and he made a mistake, yeah..it was almost a fatal one, but he realized his mistake. Sparkplug would of been mad if he killed Bumblebee. Optimus Prime had always been a caring Autobot. He cared for the other Autobots, the humans and anything living. That was truely somone good. The "monster." was almost like a phase. Like when a teenager goes through phases, except more violent.

"Chip.." Sparkplug sighed. He didn't want to talk right now, since he was worried for Bumblebee. Bumblebee had an imporant impact on his son's life. He knew, Spike had a good friend in Bumbleebee. He didn't want his poor son to go through loosing a friend like this. Spike was a good kid. Chip was too, but just at not the moment where he was torurting Prime, about it being his fault. Torturing the one who saved him many times, saved Earth, his home palent many times and had been a true friend all this knew Optimus Prime was already going through enough pain for what he almost did to Bumblebee. He was also thinking of how his son blamed himself. Spike didn't know Prime's problem, so it wouldn't be his fault. That, however would mean it's no one's fault. Which seemed impossible, but Sparkplug sure thought it was possible in this situstion.

He called, "Bumblebee!" through Optimus Prime's window as Optimus sighed yet again.

Meanwhile...

Bumblebee was driving far away from Autobot headquaters; far away from the monster. Optimus Prime had been acting wierd. He should of suspected it. He should of knew somthing was up. He was terrified. Images flashed through his head,

The gun shining, pointed at him as fear filled his look of evil in hiss leader's eyes. He could of been seeing things, but he thought he caught a glimpse of red in his eyes. Red like Decepticon eyes...evil eyes...

Those visuals are what kept Bumblebee driving at his max speed. He had no isea where he was going nor did he care, he just wanted to be away from Optimus Prime. The one he once called a leader and a friend. Sure, somthings can't last forever, Bumblebee knew that. But, he never excepted somthing like this to break. He had excepeted this to last forever, the allience not the war. The war he knew would eventually end, just not for a while. It would just feel like forever, however.

The dirt rose from under his tires as he drove through the darkness. It was pitch black and there wasn't much noise; which was a relif to Bumblebee, that no one would find him. He started feeling tired after many miles. He transformed back into robot form and leaned against the rock.

It may of been off been from all he'd gone through, but Bumblebee, went crazy...

As he sat down he stared at his chest plate. There was the Autobot logo. The logo that used to repersent him Used to.. He stared intensly at it, then got a meanical look on his face. He lifted his arms and swiped his hand across his Autobot logo, scratching most of it off.

He gave a crazed laugh, then said equally crazily "Heh heh heh...I'm no longer an Autobot..heh heh heh...look..look I'm not. Look no logo..heh heh. No I'm not one of those evil Decepticons ethier...heh heh...I still care for the humans..heh heh heh heh...I do..I really do. I want to protect the humans...heh heh heh..."

He moved over to a tree and carved with his hands on the trunk He scratched the words "Ti'll all are one." on it.

"Heh heh heh...as a once wise Autobot said.." He laughed more crazily.

He sat down again against the rock, still laughing crazyily. He glanced around making sure no one was watching him or looking for him. He wanted,no needed to be alone.

"Ti'll all are one.." He kept reapting as he laughed crazily. His logic circuts were intact, but it seemed like a spark went through causing him to act that way.

"Well well well...look what we have here...a lone Autobot?" Asked a meanicing voice. Bumblebee uruptly looked up, nervously when he reconized the voice.

"Megatron!" Bumblebee growled.

"Yes...now prepare to die, Autobot.."
