Rainbow's vision was slowly returning, but her eyes flinched at the amount of light that was entering her view. When her eyes fully adjusted she gasped when she found herself a hospital-like environment. Her left arm was covered in some tourniquets and she felt some bandages on her forehead. Looking at herself, she found herself wearing her normal clothes once again.

But the sight of a girl with fiery hair and orange skin entered her vision.

"Rainbow, its okay," Sunset said.

Rainbow calmed down a bit, but she was still breathing intensely.

"Wh-What... what happened?" Rainbow asked.

"You passed out like all of us," Sunset said.

"But... how did we get here?"

"Swoop called for us," Applejack said.

Rainbow looked and saw the rest of the girls were all up and they looked okay too. But there were a few details that stood out. A few of them had some bandages covering some spots on them.

"I've gotta say, I'm quite impressed Rainbow Dash. After what you've done last night, you've proven to be a true hero," Rarity said.

Rainbow's jaw lowered a bit, "What do you mean?"

"Swoop told the Autobots and all of us about you taking down the host of the Shadowbots all by yourself. You must be proud," Twilight smiled.

Pinkie froze in awkwardness and looked at Rainbow who didn't look very enthusiastic or thrilled in the slightest, especially after what she went through.

"Awwwkwward..." Pinkie said, rubbing her hand on the back of her head.

The girls noticed Rainbow wasn't showing much enthusiasim which began to concern them.

"Rainbow? How come you're not cheering or, acting excited?" Fluttershy asked.

"I'd thought you'd be glad to finally get rid of that monster," Applejack said.

Rainbow shook her head and she buried her face in her palms groaning. She looked back up to her friends, "Look, guys... I'm not excited. Because the bot I just killed was.... was..." Rainbow couldn't bring herself to say it.

"Who?" Rarity asked.

Pinkie snapped in between and interrupted, "It was Sideswipe's brother Sunstreaker!"

Everyone gasped.

"You mean you killed--"

Rainbow nodded, eyes watering in pain. She buried her face in her palms, and everyone could hear her quietly crying. She still felt horrible about what she had done the night before.

"Rainbow? Are you okay?" Sunset asked.

They listened closely, but they could easily tell she wasn't okay. Rainbow looked back up with bloodshot eyes, and tear stains going down her face.

"No... I killed someone. I killed Sideswipe's brother and now he's gonna hate me forever..." Rainbow wailed.

She buried her face back in her hands again, letting more tears out. She couldn't help herself. She felt so horrible about what she did that the very thought of her Autobot guardian abandoning her for what she did scared her senseless.

"Rainbow, darling?" Rarity interrupted.

Rainbow looked back up to see Rarity pat her shoulder, offering a friendly smile.

"I'm absolutely positive Sideswipe would never abandon you. You've saved all of us, and you stood up for him," Rarity cooed.

Rainbow wasn't sure what to think. The idea of Sideswipe leaving her still clouded her mind. But there were some other things that she hadn't thought to ask them.

"Well... what happened with the rest of the Autobots? Like Inferno and Huffer?" Rainbow asked.

"They've been transported back into their cryogenic stasis tombs, all still in one piece, still in the well of the Allsparks. At least, I think. I'm still trying to remember what Punch told me that was," Twilight said.

"W-What about Bumblebee? Is he okay?" Rainbow asked.

"Bumblebee is okay," Fluttershy smiled.

Rainbow's eyes widened a bit, "What!? I thought there was no cure for that...that..."

"Plague?," Twilight asked.

"Knockout performed some research and experiments and he had found just the elements to create a cure that restored Bumblebee to his old self again," Rarity cooed.

"In fact he's waiting in the parking lot for me and you," Fluttershy said.

Rainbow nodded, "But there's something else I need to know. All of those things that we saw. Everything that wasn't the Shadowbot, what...what was that?"

"Apparently when were locked up in the school, the Shadowbot caused a major amount to the faulty furnace in the basement. As if that wasn't bad enough, some of its dark Energon seeped through into it, and that's why all of us were seeing those scary things. The fumes that the furnace had been making had spread through the entire school, and all of us were exposed to it. The only reason some of us took so long to be knocked out was because our helmets were blocking out the toxins in the air. But the minute we took them off, we were immediately exposed."

Rainbow scratched her chin, pondering the idea. But something was wrong with that explanation.

"But wait, if that's what happened to all of us, how come Pinkie didn't have any reaction to it?"

"Rainbow, I told you I saw a freaky clown!" Pinkie grinned. "Also I might have eaten a lot of sugar and caffeine so..."

Rainbow was about to throw her arms up in protest, but she stopped. After everything that they knew about Pinkie and their adventures with her, they always kept the one thing about Pinkie in their head. Its Pinkie Pie, don't question it.

"Well, that might explain why I thought I saw Sunstreaker's ghost and Swoop couldn't see anything," Rainbow said.

"You met his ghost? Did he say anything?" Pinkie asked.

"Actually, he did say one thing. He asked me to take care of Sideswipe, and even though I promised, I... I don't think Sideswipe would want me around him anymore," Rainbow cooed, clearing more tears from her face.

The girls looked at one another with concern and worry. What could they do?

"Rainbow, uh, if you don't mind me saying... maybe you could talk to Sideswipe? Maybe tell him how you feel about that?", Fluttershy asked.

Rainbow looked back up at Fluttershy, still having the sad look on her face, "I don't know... I don't even know where he is."

"Actually, he's back at Autobot base."

Without any warning, Rainbow sprung out of the bed back up onto her feet with a serious look on her face, "Can you take me back to their base? I need to talk to him."

Fluttershy nodded, and Rainbow Dash sped off out of the room, gripping Fluttershy's shoulder, making everyone's hair blow back to the amount of speed they carried.

"Wow. She moves a lot faster when she's determined," Pinkie smiled.

Bumblebee who was now healed and completely healthy, drove the two girls all the way back to the Autobot base in Nevada. The entire ride was silent. Fluttershy tried to get Rainbow Dash to talk but she wouldn't say a word, nor did she want to say a word. Bumblebee even tried to get her to talk, but she still didn't snap out of her funk.

The yellow Volkswagon Beetle came to a stop as it made it to the front entrance. Rainbow and Fluttershy stepped out, and Bumblebee transformed back into robot mode. The three of them walked through parts of the base, and they came to a stop to see Sideswipe had been walking their way. When Sideswipe looked to see Rainbow, a big smile came on his face.

"Rainbow! You're okay!" Sideswipe sped up a notch and ran over to where she stood, but Rainbow still had a look of sadness on her face.

"We'll uh... we'll let you two talk it out," Bumblebee said, as he gestured Fluttershy to walk with him to give the two privacy. Sideswipe saw Rainbow still had a sad look on her face, and Sideswipe sat down on the ground to be at her level.

"Rainbow? What's wrong?"

Rainbow looked away in shame. She couldn't face Sideswipe after what she did.

"Rainbow, is this about what happened last night?"

Rainbow looked back and gave a small nod, and sniffled.

"Sideswipe, I... I'm sorry. I... I killed Sunstreaker. I didn't mean to and I... I... I didn't know what else to do! I didn't want more of our friends to be taken away because of what happened to him, and I... I..."

Sideswipe pulled Rainbow Dash close and pat her back, allowing her to cry on his shoulder.

"Sh... its okay. Its okay Rainbow. I'm not mad at you," Sideswipe said.

"Y-you're... you're not?" Rainbow asked. She pulled away from the hug and looked at Sideswipe's eyes.

"No, I'm not. I'm glad you stopped him, or else we would all be scrapped," Sideswipe said as he cleared some tears from Rainbow's face.

"B-but... I-I thought you'd be mad at me. I thought you wouldn't want to be my guardian anymore after... after killing him..."

Sideswipe cleared more tears from her face and pulled her closer, "Rainbow, look at me."

Rainbow looked at Sideswipe, who still had a friendly smile on his face.

"I will never abandon you because of that. The real Sunstreaker died a long time ago, by a Decepticon. Not by you. You stopped a host of a dangerous plague. I would never abandon you for that. You're my best friend. You stood by my side when he attacked me, and I heard your speech about you standing up for me. I have to say, I've never felt more happy to have you by my side," Sideswipe said.

Rainbow cleared more tears from her face, and a weak smile came on her face, "T-thank you."

Sideswipe pat her back again and allowed Rainbow to hug him again, only for Rainbow to back away again.

"Oh, there's something else I have to say... last night, before I blacked out, I.. I think I saw Sunstreaker's ghost. But that was because I was exposed to the fumes from the school. But... before I passed out, I promised his ghost that... that I'd look after you. Protect you, stay by your side like... like a sister," Rainbow hesitated.

Rainbow waited for whatever remark was gonna come from Sideswipe, but all she saw was Sideswipe smiling.

"Rainbow, I'm positive if he was still alive, he'd be proud of you. Just like I am. And I'll always stay by your side, like a brother." Sideswipe said.

Rainbow smiled again, "Forever?"

Sideswipe nodded. "Forever."

The two of them held each other in a tight embrace, feeling the warmth inside one another. While they had went through a lot, it had all worked out. They were gonna keep moving on, and stay by each other's side. Like a family. Brother and sister. Now and forever.

Sideswipe pulled away from the hug to look back at Rainbow.

"Wanna go for a drive in the desert speeding off into the sunset in a hero like fashion, or would you rather we go see that new movie that's playing? I heard its really good," Sideswipe offered.

Rainbow thought for a moment. As much as she wanted to go see the movie, she honestly wanted to stay with Sideswipe a little more so they could speak.

"Actually, if its all the same to you, I rather we drive out in the desert. I think after everything that happened yesterday I could just use some quiet," Rainbow said.

Sideswipe gave a smile. He stood up on his feet, and transformed into his Lamborghini form, and a door opened up for Rainbow Dash to climb in and buckle up. Sideswipe's engine activated, and he sped out of the base driving off into the desert, while the sun was setting off in the distance.

And inside the base, Optimus, Swoop, Bumblebee and Fluttershy watched as he left with Rainbow into the desert.

"Somehow, I think those two are gonna be okay," Bumblebee grinned.

As the Autobots stood watching Sideswipe speed off into the desert, kicking up a trail of dust behind, Optimus thought deep inside his head about their situation.

Everyone in our war has either past away, or has been lost to the Decepticons. But we the Autobots will never forget them. For in their memories, they are always with us. I am Optimus Prime. And I send this message, so that those we've lost are never forgotten... but remembered, from within our hearts.
