Bee watched sadly with his head in his hands as Skylar ran out the door and away into the distance, and away from the chaos that surrounded them. Mikeala was in a corner, sobbing quietly into her arms, not being able to take in what had just happened, and whether it was real, broken chairs and smashed cutlery scattered around the floor as Bumblebee's holoform flickered at the sight.

He mentally cursed himself inside; he didn't mean to point the gun at Sky, he didn't know the energy signal came from herself…now he had scared her. Sam and Optimus are going to be furious, Bee's thoughts came together as another thought crashed down on him and made him cringe. Optimus..Optimus is her guardian, and now she's gone. Bee realised with a shock as his holoform was deactivated and he started up his engine, opening the door for Mikeala to get in.

Mikeala gave Bee a tiny smile and wiped the tears off her face with her selve as she got in, "Thanks Bee," she whispered to him as they drove to the NEST base where Sam had apparently gone and was on a rampage and had demanded to speak to Optimus. But strange enough, Optimus did not answer any of the Autobot's calls on the , and Lennox nor Epps had seen him around base. Bee thought carefully of where their leader could've gone to as they drove up to the entrance of the NEST base, only greeted with a flustered Alise running towards them. Mikeala rushed to her and they gave into a tight embrace while Bee chirped happily at the sight of seeing his mate.

Alise faced Mikeala and held her hands as tears fell down her face. "I heard what happened. Where is Spark?" She asked gently as Mikeala glanced at her with a desperate look in her eyes.

"I…she ran off after Bee came in and..I don't know where she's gone, and it's all my-my fault!" She stuttered before she let out a violet sob and cried into Alise's shoulders as she rubbed her back and tried to sooth her when Lennox came out, a flustered look on his face.

Both the girls looked up and Bee transformed into his bi-pedal form as Will walked up to them and gave him and Alise a nod and turned towards Mikeala, a look of worry and concern appearing across his face. "Hey Mikeala, I heard what happened at home..are you alright?" He asked gently, putting a hand on her arm and rubbed it gently before they heard a voice yelling throughout the base. Lennox sighed deeply and looked back at her with a look in his eyes as he spoke.

"Sam came here and demanded to see Optimus. But no one knows where he is, and he won't answer any of our calls." He sighed again and then looked up at Bee. "Bumblebee, would you try find Prime? As you were the last 'Bot to speak to him.." Will quietened, with an almost pleading look in his eyes up at Bee, who nodded and looked at Alise who nodded in agreement. Mikeala was about to say something when they all paused as they heard a large truck engine drive up to the entrance of the base, lights shining as the blue and red flamed Peterbilt semi-truck came towards them.

Optimus.

After his interruption during his recharge, Prime had quietly driven out from the base and drove along the road, in his own thoughts about all what had just happened. He was still driving when his daze was broken by several beeps on the , which Optimus sighed inwardly and ignored. They would not understand, and they should not worry about me. He thought sadly as the wave of emotions that he had hidden in the past in the final days of Cybetron, was slowly reappearing and Optimus knew that he had to say something about the connection between him and Skylar to Sam, or the human would discover in his own terms which could lead to mistrust.

He turned around on the road he was driving and started to head back to the NEST base, unaware of what had happened and also of the betrayal of him that was seen within a certain human' eyes; Sam Witwicky. Optimus finally reached the location of the base, only to be viewed upon by the three humans and the one Autobot who he knew, that would also want answers, especially Mikeala as she witnessed the happening but obviously did not know that the connection was made. But when he saw the looks of distress on all the human's faces, he knew something had gone wrong.

Something has happened to Skylar, his own Spark cried out inside as he transformed into his bi-pedal mode and overlooked the three humans with a concerned stare..and also a guilty feeling growing even stronger in the pit of his tank as he addressed them. "Captain Lennox, Alise, Mikeala..what has happened?" He hesitated a little before glancing at Bumblebee, who turned away with a strained look growing within his optics before giving his full attention back to the others that looked back up at him with troubled glances as Mikeala stepped forward and spoke as clear as she could with a hint of sadness in her voice.

"Optimus…Skylar..Sky ran away. She disappeared after..we had an argument. She-" Mikeala suddenly burst into tears and cowered into Alise's shoulder, when Will coughed slightly and continued her sentence.

"She let out some of the All Spark energy which had been building up ever since she was born, and as the energy reading was exposed and very close, Bumblebee activated his holoform and broke in, pointing the weapon at where the reading was coming from-" He glanced at Bee, who nodded gently to let him continue, "Which was Skylar." Will looked down at the ground, wishing he could've been more help. He had become close with Sam's daughter, and to him she was his second daughter and he knew that Annabelle would be broken as well. Optimus studied his friend's defeated faces and thoughts and in took a deep sigh.

It was now or never to tell them of the connection between the two. He looked into their eyes, seeing sorrow and sadness, and knew that it would not be right to let them suffer. He spoke quietly, breaking the silence that had grown.

"I know what happened also. I also have knowledge on why Skylar ran away…as unexpected as I was, the All Spark energy within her had chosen me for the responsibility of being her guardian; and her as my charge. I-" He was cut off as a familiar human and slightly irritated voice yelled across them, causing everyone to turn to see the body of Samuel James Witwicky as he walked up to Prime, sending him what was known as an death glare and spoke with a voice full of annoyance.

"So you what, Optimus, eh? You put my daughter, all of us in danger due to your doing! I know the All Spark knowledge is important and that it has been growing inside of her since the day he was born and I also knew that he was not going to be able to ever be like a normal being!" Sam yelled up at Optimus, anger brewing in his eyes. Optimus was taken back by the sudden accusation and tried to protest.

"Sam, this was not known to happen. I didn't expect to be chosen-"

Sam scoffed, "You didn't expect this to happen? You are Optimus Prime! You always know what will happen. And now thanks to you, I don't even know if I would even see my Skylar again.." All the sudden anger seeped out of him as he suddenly crouched on the ground, attempting his best not to break down as Alise and Mikeala ran to him, arms opened wide. Optimus observed the human boy with a growing sadness, and he knew that he had destroyed the chance of Sam's daughter ever getting the chance to be normal again. But Optimus also realised one thing; he was a Prime. And he knew for a fact that the energy inside Skylar Witwicky had chosen him, to be her guardian and that he now hold the responsibility to her safety.

I am not going to leave you Sky, even if it is the last thing on my Spark, he thought to himself as he drew up to his full height and addressed Sam, Mikeala, and all the other humans and Autobots that had gathered, and he said to them in the voice of a Prime, "Our number one priority is now to find the femme, Skylar Elizabeth Witwicky as she holds the key to many Cybetorian's wishes and if fallen into the wrong hands, I fear that this planet will suffer." He looked at everyone in the eyes and continued, "There will be scout teams set up in order to search within South Gate and the outskirts of the area. Bumblebee, Alise.." He glanced over at the two, who looked up when they heard their names. Optimus gave a nod and Bumblebee nodded back and placed Alise on her shoulder as he continued to speak. "You will go with Sergeant Robert Epps and his team and look on the outskirts of South Gate.." Optimus paused then glanced at Sam, who looked back at him with a look of desperation in his eyes, and Optimus knew that they must find her as soon as possible.

Mikeala then spoke with a quiet tone to her voice as she glanced up at the leader of the Autobots. "Sky used to go play in this own abandoned town just on the highway. Maybe she could have gone there..?" She suggested, and Optimus nodded in his response.

"Then Bumblebee's team, I want you to survey that area of what Mikeala just mentioned…I have a feeling that she will be there also." Prime then looked down, and placed his hand over his Spark as the feeling of her presence grew stronger and stronger.

I will find you my Spark, if it is the last thing I do. He vowed to himself as he looked among the stars, praying to Primus that she will be safe.
