Elena was on Star Computer working on some things when Ratchet informed that he had the location of Decepticon's warship. He told he tried different frequency waves links when he spots it. For Elena, that sound more like the Decepticons either had technical issues to fix, in which they got found. And according to Ratchet, they seem to have electromagnetic preach. Hah, Knew it!

"With Megatron deceased and elemental of surprise," said Arcee.

"We can cause some serious damage," said Bulkhead.

But then Ratchet informed that he caught Autobot emergency peak.

"The Decepticons can wait," said Optimus. "There could be Autobots in disgrace. Ratchet, bring medical kit."

"Please, be careful," said Elena while Silver helped to activate the ground bridge. Once they left, Elena went to check the emergency peak. From what she had learned, when it comes to emergencies, the call or in this case peak, must be something that you could find an instant. But this was found by different wave signal. It doesn't make sense. She checks the peak and by looks of the ship by Star computer. She got then all the info she was looking for.

"This doesn't make any sense..." she said out loud.

"What is it?" asked Arcee.

"A cording to Star Computer, that peak belongs to the ship, that is on the list of ones that have gone lost in the war. And I don't mean 'lost' lost."

"Maybe someone survived," said Bulkhead. Bumblebee agreed. Elena still didn't like how this looked she checked if she could find the reason what happened to the ship. Luckily Star Computer was supercomputer and had informed the reason for fall.

"Attacked by... " tried read Elena before her eyes wide in fear. She runs out to activate the ground bridge.

"Elena, What is going..." asked Jack, but couldn't finish, because right then Optimus and Ratchet came back and Optimus didn't look well.

"Optimus!" yelled Elena and tried to go help, but Silver stopped her because she could see what was going on.

"Silver, keep Elena and kids far from Optimus. The virus could hurt them as well," said Ratchet, while he helped Optimus to sickbay.

A virus? Elena collapsed by hearing that. What she just feared happened. Silver help her up and asked kids to follow her up.

"Elena, What the report said?" asked Arcee. It could obvious.

"The ship... was attacked by a virus," said Elena weakly.

"Cybonic plague," said Ratchet after he checked Optimus. "It's only contagious if contact is made with infected energon."

"What was a blag doing in Autobot spaceship?" asked Miko.

"Its passengers were infected," said Arcee. "The virus wipe out millions in Cybertron during the great war."

"A biological weapon..." said Elena.

"Cybonic plague was inspired by Decepticon's biological warfare program," explained Ratchet. "By Megatron himself."

"You have a cure, don't you?" asked Raf.

"No...cure..." said Optimus.

"Optimus, please. Save your strength," said Ratchet.

"Would Megatron create disease without having a cure?" asked Jack. "I mean what if he caught it by accident?"

"He didn't tell it because he knew that every information gets to Star Computer way or another," said Elena. "Which was one the reason Stars were hunted down during the great war. Another thing is he was Decepticon. He didn't care if one if his get it too."

"It's not like we can ask Megatron, Jack," said Bulkhead. "He is pushing on lugnuts."

"But we might able to access the Decepticon's database," said Ratchet. "For the moment, we still have fixed on their warship's location."

"Bumblebee, come with," said Arcee. They both went to the ground bridge, while Silver came along to activated it.

"Arcee, quickly..." said Ratchet to them.

When the ground bridge was activated, Arcee and Bumblebee went through it. But no one put a note that Elena followed them to the warship.

"Let's start with the lab," said Arcee to Bumblebee, while they keep moving. Once they found it, they had to hide because Knockout came out from there. Luckily he didn't notice them. Once he left, they enter the lab. before Arcee went to the computer, Elena already got there and plugged her arm-pad into it.

"Elena, What are you..." asked Arcee.

"I'm not going to stay and watch how Optimus dies slowly," said Elena while tried to get herself to the computer. "Plus, If the cure is here I could download the info for later use. Which I hope not to happen. Now, open the computer. The two eye pairs are better than one."

Arcee wished to send her back, but she knew it won't help. She knew Elena was attached on Optimus, like a daughter to father, even if none of them haven't admitted yet. And she knew that arguing won't help them in this. So, she went to the computer and entered there.

"I'm in the network," she informed to the base. She keeps looking, but she didn't find it. "If it's here, I don't see it."

"Are you certain, Arcee?" asked Ratchet from another side.

"I search every file. Nothing."

"Well, search again."

"We did," said Elena.

"Clearly, you missed something."

"I scanned entire database," said Arcee.

Elena tried to answer before she heard Bumblebee saying something. She looked at him to see he found something.

"Bee?" she asked while unplugged herself and went to him.

"Did you use the high quantum algorithm?"

"Don't tell me how to research," said Arcee. "You think you're only one who cares about Optimus."

"Arcee!" yelled Elena and Bumblebee at the same time.

"What is it?" she asked bit frustrated.

"What is it? What's going on?"

When Arcee came to see she gasped at what she saw. Elena took hold on Arcee since she wasn't sure which scared her most. Megatron all plugged up or Megatron himself.

"It's Megatron," said Arcee to others. "He's alive."

They heard how others react to the news.

"That's not possible."

"Well, I'm staring right at him," said Arcee and took her blaster. "Good news is, Megatron isn't actually staring back."

Elena now started to have a bit of regret to come along, but wait... If Megatron is here, then...

"He is critical. Hooked up to life support." continued Arcee. "Time to finish this once and for all."

"Wait! Don't!"

"One good reason, fast."

"Megatron may be the only hope for Optimus' survival."

"Scrap..." said Elena quietly. She feared this to happen. If the next bad guess goes right, She wishes not guess anything for rest of the day or week.

"What are you talking about?" asked Arcee.

"See, if he is creating brain-wave activity?"

"Spiking hard," said Arcee. "His sick mind is still at work."

"Perfect. If the cure exists, Megatron may be only one who knows it. You must enter his brains and find it."

Elena didn't like the sound of that idea. Who knew where he keeps it. And most importantly, how they're even going to get there?

"Enter Megatron's brain? Ratchet, are you out of your fragging mind?" said Arcee through com-link.

"The Decepticon lab inventory should obtain all the equipment you need for a cortical physic path."

"Wow, wow, wow. Cortical Physic patch?" asked Elena from Bumblebee. "As in you put patch between two minds?"

"No way," said Arcee. "Have you even perform the procedure?"

"No." heard from the other side. "But I have studied theoretical literature. Invented by Decepticons, outlawed by Autobots."

Okay, not good.

"Wow. Can we just hold Megatron thought the ground bridge buying some time to figure this out."

"TIME IS THE ONE THING OPTIMUS DOES NOT HAVE! ONE OF YOU MUST TRY THIS! I WILL NOT ALLOW OPTIMUS PASS BY, KNOWING THE MEGATRON ON-LIVED HIM!"

Elena tried to hold her cries. It must be done. She would do it, but she is human. The cortical physic patch might kill her.

"Ratchet, I would lay down my life for Optimus. Anytime, anywhere. But my body split..."

"(I will do it.)" beeped Bumblebee.

"You will?" asked Arcee.

Elena was shocked. Will he do it? But what if something happens? But it must be done. For Optimus.

"Ratchet, give me the instructions," said Elena.

Soon once they had everything ready, Arcee went plug the patch on Megatron and returned to the hiding place, where Bumblebee was ready. A cording to Silver, she could be back up, on checking the wave activities and hold balance with Body and mind. One thing that Stars had to learn during the war, against this thing.

"Ratchet, we're ready," informed Arcee to the base.

"initiate the cortical physic patch."

Elena gets near Bumblebee to be ready, while Arcee plugged him to Megatron's mind. Elena was feeling too worried. She couldn't stop shaking. She hasn't done this before. What if she will lose both Optimus and Bee. Bumblebee was like a ... brother. Trying to have fun, thinking the best of her too. He...

Elena felt someone touching her shoulders. Arcee stood behind her.

"You can do it," she said.

"But if I do something wrong? I don't even know what happens there..."

"You will know what to do," said Arcee while looked on up to the lab. "Come on, Bee. what are you doing in there?"

Right then Starscream, Soundwave, and Knockout came in. The good thing was they were hidden, so they didn't see them. Arcee and Elena heard what they were saying. They are going to unplug Megatron. But Bee is still there.

"Ratchet, are you hearing this?"

"If Megatron parishes, Bumblebee's mind will remain in separated from his body, forever."

"They just couldn't invent mind reader, not physic patch? It's a lot safe, then going inside," whispered Elena.

"Elena, listen up. We might need you in this."

"But I'm not sure I can do this."

"You must. If something happens only you could help. As Star..."

"I'm only 70% of flesh, Ratchet. What I can do?"

"(You can do it.)" hears the beeping voice of Silver. "(We have faith in you. Just raise your hands on Bee and think something that calms you.)"

Elena looked at Arcee who nodded to agree. in this she took a deep breath and did like was told. When she started to calm herself, her left hand started to glow. Usually, it should be both hands, but since her left hand was the techno-organic and from Star, it started to react as it should be.

"I'll watch your backs," said Arcee, while holding her blaster ready. Elena tried to do her best and keep the patch intact from inside. But it wasn't going to be easy. holding your arms up too long will start to get to you.

"Hurry up, Bee..." said Elena, while tried to hold her hands up.

"Scrap..."

"Same here..."

"No, they notice the cable. They might find us."

"Okay, that is scrap," said Elena.

"Elena..."

"I know. It's not the good time, but Bee should better hurry up and find that cure quickly. I can't hold on."

Arcee came near and tried to shake Bumblebee." Come on. Come on."

"I can't hold it..."

"Arcee, we have the formula. Disconnect Bumblebee now!"

After hearing that Elena lay her hands down, while Arcee unplugged Bumblebee of Megatron's mind.

"Hurry, Bee..." said Arcee and tried to wake up Bumblebee.

"They're coming," said Elena.

Arcee took her Blaster when Bumblebee started to wake up. Tthe first thing he did was take Elena behind, so nothing would happen to her.

"What in..." said Starscream when he found them. Right then ground bridge opened in which Elena was first to go through and then Bumblebee.

"Intruders!" yelled Starscream.

"Allow me," said Arcee before she blasts and hit right in one of the plugs, in which Megatron was connected before she jumps to the ground bridge.

In the nightfall, Optimus was getting better, bit weak now, but getting better. Everyone was cheering. Elena would have too, but because she held her hands up too long, they were now so loose that she couldn't move them without feeling bit of pain. So, Silver had to do the cheering for her. Optimus told the hero's welcome should be given to Ratchet, who helped him and Bumblebee. Well, there was no arguing there. Bumblebee did dare go in Megatron's mind and everything. But no one knew what happened there.
