"SilverBlade Prime?!", Starscream asked and aimed his missile at SilverShine.  

"Please! I mean no harm!", SilverShine yelled and put her hands up in surrender.

"Oh! Then what are you doing here?!", Starscream asked.

"Research. For Lord Megatron.", she answered.

"Is this some kind of joke?", Starscream asked, now calming down.

"I do not understand. And why did you call me "SilverBlade Prime"?", SilverShine asked.

"Why wouldn't I?", Starscream asked.

"Because my name is SilverShine. I am far from being a Prime.", she said sadly.

"You reminded me of someone I once knew. That's all.", Starscream stated.

"You are Starscream.", Silver guessed.

"Yes...?", Starscream said, confused more than ever. 

"Lord Megatron told me you had been terminated."

"Lord Megatron says many things only some of which are true."

"You do not suggest that our leader would speak falsehoods?"

"You truly are being kept in the dark, aren't you?", Starscream laughed.

"You speak in many riddles, Starscream. Please, tell me what it is that you know."

"And in return..." 

"Starscream! Surrender!", a vehicon yelled and aimed his weapons at Starscream.

"Hold your fire!", Silver said, hoping they'll obey.

"Remain in the lab.", the vehicon ordered.

"But I-" SilverShine started.

"Lord Megatron's orders."

Autobot base

"Check! Long-range GPS activated.", Raf said as he and Ratchet stood in front of the ground bridge.

"I have doubts whether my re-calibrations have successfully extended Ground-bridge range. But there's only one way to find out.", Ratchet said and watched as Raf drove the car into the vortex, "Come on!"

The toy car didn't make it through. Ratchet groaned.

"It was just the first try.", Raf said. 

"No, Rafael. It was pure folly. A misguided act of desperation.", Ratchet said, "It takes eons to master Space-bridge engineering. And no one is more accomplished than the Decepticons.

"You know, there is this thing in gym class where you have to climb a rope. All the way to the ceiling. It's really hard. And I've never been able to do it. But when I told Bee about it he believed in me. Which made me practice a ton. Finally, just a couple of weeks ago, I made it! To the top", Raf smiled.

"What does any of this have to do with gym class?!", Ratchet asked.

"I-I was just- I'll give you some alone time.", Raf stuttered.

"SilverBlade, I am so sorry.", Ratchet said, "FireStar, I'm sorry I couldn't stop our daughter. I didn't even try!"

"Ratchet, it's okay. We'll get her back. I have faith in Jack.", FireStar smiled making Ratchet give a sad smile.

Decepticon Warship

"SilverShine. I am so sorry for the recent commotion. You were not in any way harmed, were you?", Megatron asked.
