Ultra Magnus left the meeting on his way to see Cassie. The meeting was exhausting since Sentinel continued to interrupt him all the time. He could not tolerate him for more than an hour or two and even these meetings pushed those boundaries. He walked into the palace and up to her room knocking on the door, "Cassie?" There wasn't an answer and he opened the door and found no one to be inside. He left the room and found Bumblebee. "Where is she," Ultra Magnus asked worried.
"I don't know. She said that she was gonna roam around the palace," Bumblebee answered.
"Well she isn't here," he replied giving a deep sigh. "I need to go to the temple because the last Allspark has gone offline and I need to see who the next one is," he stated melancholy. Bumblebee felt like he had failed. Ultra Magnus and Bumblebee went to the statue both now depressed. Bumblebee walked in and saw...what appeared to be a body lying on the hard floor.
He froze almost unable to speak. "Ultra Magnus is that..." he asked alarmed.
"It can't be," Ultra Magnus replied in disbelief.
Bumblebee rushed over to Cassie who lay unconscious on the floor. "Cassie wake up. Come on!" He shook her gently trying to wake her but to no avail.
Ultra Magnus walked over and saw the statue and his daughter and stopped. He couldn't believe that this happened. He stayed there and starred at the statue for a long time while Bumblebee continued to try to wake her up. "Bumblebee take her back to the palace and guard her carefully. Don't tell anyone about this and don't let anyone in her room until I return," he ordered. Bumblebee nodded his head picking up Cassie and left. Ultra Magnus left the building and headed back towards the meeting hall. Everyone seemed to be still there when he arrived and he walked briskly into the room with everyone else trailing behind him. He stood at the podium in front of the room.
"Hello again everyone," he started grimly, "I have recently seen the statue and have found that the Allspark has chosen...my daughter." Sentinels mouth dropped, "Sir she can't be! We must do away with h-." Sentinel tried to say but was cut off.
"We will do no such thing Sentinel Prime," Ultra Magnus bellowed, "we will protect her just as we have done to every other Allspark before her."
"But sir she is a danger to us all. Even more so now that she has more power."
"She has done nothing wrong to us or anyone. She is my daughter and you will do well to remember that," Ultra Magnus ended the meeting and stormed out hurrying to the palace and up to Cassie's room.
He opened the door where and went into the room where Bumblebee was looking out the window and Cassie lay still unconscious on the bed.
"Any change," Ultra Magnus asked.
"No except she isn't as pale," Bumblebee answered.
"Why...why would it pick her?"
"I don't know. Maybe it thinks that she will do great things. I mean she told me about her life before the palace ever since she came online so it might be because of that," Bumblebee suggested. They both turned to the window as it shattered and a spray of bullets came in. Bumblebee quickly grabbed Cassie, wrapping the blanket around her. Megatron flew in the window.
He smiled at Ultra Magnus, "hello Ultra Magnus. A little birdy told me that your 'daughter' is the Allspark, and seeing as your guards and security officials are...preoccupied at the moment. I suggest you give the girl to me." He extended a hand as if to receive something.
Ultra Magnus grabbed the Magnus Hammer and held it tightly standing between Megatron, Bumblebee, and Cassie. "Never Megatron." He replied.
