"Oh for Booting up Cold Streaker, you've been muttering for the past two hours, your gonna talk or not?" groaned Rattrap. He and Sunstreaker were sat outside looking at their surroundings in the City.

"It never changes" said Sunstreaker, "this is what Cybertron used to be, a paradise on the outside yet Politics interfering"

"You talking bout Proteus and that Deathsaurus guy?" asked Rattrap.

"Deathsaurus was a Gladiator like Grimlock, Victory Leo and Megatron. I watched some of his matches, they were brutal. What bugs me is at before he vanished he was in league with the Decepticons" explained Grimlock.

"Let me guess, didn't think Megatron had the right talents to be a leader?" asked Rattrap.

"He offered the Dinobots a place in his planned rebel army. Grimlock refused and no one heard from him after that till now" said Grimlock.

"Well look on the plus side, for now its quiet, and no sign of any danger" said Rattrap. As he said that the sound of tyre squeals came round the corner. Speeding past them was Drift followed by another car which was similar to him but different colours.

"Well that was weird" said Rattrap.

"No that's trouble" said Sunstreaker as he sat up and broke into a run, "go get Rodimus, tell him to contact me ASAP"

"Uhh why?" Rattrap called back.

"That was Deadlock who went past" Sunstreaker shouted back. Rattrap's mouth dropped as he ran to find Rodimus, talking to himself.

"Deadlock, Deadlock, but Drift is Deadlock, and Deadlock was known as a butcher of Autobots…great, we're all gonna die"

Drift tore through the Streets with Deadlock behind him, laughing away.

"Running away Drift? That's not how we do things, we just plough through" he shouted.

"No that's how YOU work!" shouted Drift, "you think this scares me? It does a little, but I'm happy knowing that your not me"

Deadlock transformed as he lunged for Drift who transformed too, both on their feet they threw a punch to each others faces and were knocked back but still standing. Deadlock drew his guns and Drift drew his blades as they stood face to face.

"How did you come to be?" asked Drift.

"Now, Now Drift, that be telling" said Deadlock, "just know I have two functions, serve the Decepticon cause, and my personal function, destroy you"

"Cute" said Drift as Deadlock opened fire as Drift ran forward, deflecting the shots with his blades and went on the offensive, Deadlock moved quickly, dodging, ducking and weaving from the blades.

"This cant be right" thought Drift was he dodged Deadlock's shots, "if this was Deadlock, well me his accuracy would be second to none. But his shots are at least a few inches off. And how does know my blade moves? Its like he was taught it"

Deadlock threw a grenade at Drift who threw one of his Explosive Shurikens back. The Two leapt back as they exploded causing some damage to the area. Within seconds Drift was back on the move as Deadlock fired, laughing and jumping hire onto the buildings to get up top. Drift followed, making sure not to loose sight of Deadlock.

"Why do you want to destroy me. If you and I are alike then you joined the Decepticons because you believed you could help save Cybertron" he called after Deadlock.

"Don't make me laugh" Deadlock called back as he opened fire, Drift took cover on the other side of a building.

"I am not you though Drift, I'm better. I'm you without your weaknesses and stupid honour code. Why deny what you are, you love the destruction you caused" Deadlock called back once he reached the top of a building and turned waiting for Drift to appear and shoot. But instead Drift snuck up behind him and managed to land a punch to the face to knock him to the ground. Deadlock was on his back as Drift aimed his blade at him.

"Stay where you are" he said as from the skies Saviour, Rouge and Swoop landed, Rodimus, Sunstreaker and Rattrap were down below.

"We got him surrounded" said Cagali.

"Make sure he doesn't move, we're ready down here" said Rodimus.

"Yeah, your ready" moaned Rattrap.

"Nice and slow Deadlock" said Athrun, "no suddenly movements"

Deadlock grinned as he slowly got up but something dropped his hand, and it was beeping.

"FLASH GRENADE!" shouted Drift as he lunged for Deadlock as a strong blast of light nearly blinded everyone. As it dimmed down slowly everyone looked to see that Deadlock was gone.

5 HOURS LATER: 10.20AM Earth Time: Crystal City council halls

Dai Atlas and Victory Leo joined Rodimus, Drift, Cagali and Athrun as Hologram devices allowed them to contact Optimus, Magnus and Kira for a meeting on last nights events.

"Deadlock? But I thought that was the name given to Drift when he joined the Decepticons" said Optimus.

"Well he appeared last night, guns blazing and after Drift" said Athrun.

"Deadlock was on my wanted list for years, after Drift was given amnesty I had that file nearly deleted, glad I kept onto it" said Magnus.

"So who exactly was Deadlock?" asked Kira.

"Born of my desire to change Cybertron and get lost in combat and blaster smoke. When I was branded a traitor for trying to commit mutiny on the ship I served I ended up here. After much time I learnt what I was doing was wrong, and I chose to take up the sword, not the gun" said Drift.

"He was a trouble soul when he came here. At first I didn't trust him, but when Wing took him on as a student, I saw honour deep within his spark" said Dai Atlas.

"Who was Wing?" asked Optimus.

"He was my friend, in fact he was the first friend I made when I came here" said Drift, "he helped me, trained me, tutored me. We'd sit and talk for hours on end"

A smile came across his face.

"And he was an honourable warrior"

"Until an accident, a band of pirates and slavers found their way to this planet, when one of them discovered the city they planned to attack and take us as trophies" said Victory Leo.

"I planned a defensive attack, however Deathsaurus got anxious, he and the Kaiser Unit went into head strong. Wing and Drift followed" said Dai Atlas.

"When we got their they were barely alive. Deathsaurus was fighting strong against their leader, a powerful brute. Wing moved in on the attack, and was crushed against jagged rocks. He died almost at once. Thanks to Deathsaurus he was dead, that fools lust of combat caused it" Drift explained, gripping the Long Sword on his back.

"This was Wing's Sword once, his most powerful weapon. I took it, it gained its power drawing from my spark. With it I cut down that monster"

"The rest of the enemy were defeated shortly after. When we found Drift he and Deathsaurus were beating the Energon out of each other. Deathsaurus proclaiming what he did was right and that Wing was the foolish one for jumping in. Drift didn't care, he was angry his friend had died" explained Dai Atlas.

"My Best Friend" Drift corrected him.

"After that Drift left and joined the Autobots" said Victory Leo.

"And now all of a sudden, Deadlock returns" said Magnus.

"Do you think Deathsaurus is involved? I never fought him myself but he had a reputation as dangerous as Overlord's" said Optimus.

"He still holds a high place in Crystal City security" said Dai Atlas.

"We've been wary of him for a while but with Senator Proteus on our backs we cant even get close enough" said Victory Leo.

"Maybe your going the wrong way around it?" came a voice. Everyone looked around.

"How did you get on the ship?" asked Rodimus as Blurr stopped moving fast and stood by his friends side.

"Uhh, fastest Wrecker alive? Plus you know you need me Rod" said Blurr.

"Does Kup know?" asked Optimus.

"Already contacted him, your talking about space travel, your gonna need extra muscle"

The group turned and saw Bulkhead walk in.

"Well stowaways is one thing, but you two would be useful" said Rodimus, "so long as you don't mind Optimus"

"If they can be of help to you" said Optimus.

"Plus I've seen Deathsaurus in action, don't let this bravado fool you, he's a vicious bastard" said Bulkhead.

"Studying Earth words I see" said Cagali.

"Only the best ones" said Bulkhead with a grin.

"Well we're going to have our hands full, Megatron's pushing to claim territory in Europe" said Kira.

"If he gains a foothold he'll have enough slaves and energy plants to tip the scales, he's already secured a foothold in Spain" said Optimus.

"You worry about taking down Megatron" said Rodimus, "we'll figure out things here, try to get more support and head to Planet Master ASAP"

"I know you won't let me down Rodimus" said Optimus.

"Cagali, be careful" said Kira. Cagali nodded and smiled.

"Kira, watch yourself out there" said Athrun.

"I will, I already booked a shuttle to go visit Lacus a few days before the push, this is going to be one of the most brutal battles" said Kira.

"Shockwave has begun collecting downed Mobile suits to strengthen their forces. We're now battling Decepticon Foot Soldiers and Mobile Dolls" said Optimus.

"Megatron's not giving up easily" said Dai Atlas.

"Exactly, we'll send reports when we can" said Kira.

With that the conversation was over.

The next day Lowe was sat watching from Red Frame's shoulder several Cybertronians being trained in sword art forms of combat. The instructor stood and watched them all proudly.

"Impressive" said Lowe.

"Thank you, your one of the humans yes?" asked the Instructor, "my name is Yokotron"

"Lowe Gear pilot of Red Frame" said Lowe as he bowed to Yokotron, "this is my buddy 8, he's an advanced A.I"

"Pleasure" said 8.

"Impressive, and what is he doing now?" asked Yokotron.

"Right now? He's analysing and storing on the various fighting styles and sword skills your training them in. In turn it will be placed in Red Frame's database" explained Lowe.

"Thus allowing it to be ready for combat if such skills are used. I am impressed, may I ask about your blade?" asked Yokotron.

"The Gerbera Straight, it originally belonged to my master, his name was Un No, he trained me and helped me repair the blade when I found it" explained Lowe.

"He must have been a good one" said Yokotron.

"He was" said Lowe, just then one of the students was nearly thrown between them. The thrower was a large Cybertronian who was heavily armoured, his alternate mode looked like it would be a tank.

"I'm tired of this soft footing training master, give me a real challenge" he laughed.

"As always Hipotank you think with your fists, not your mind" sighed Yokotron.

"Always one right?" asked Lowe.

"Yes, he's strong, but strength isn't everything" said Yokotron.

"Come on, give me a real challenge" said Hipotank, pounding his chest.

"Okay" said Lowe as he grabbed 8, plugging him into Red Frame's computer and started it up. As Red Frame stepped into the ring everyone backed off as it dropped the Gerbera Straight and flight pack to the ground.

"I said a challenge Fleshy" said Hipotank with a laugh.

"I know you did" said Lowe as he made Red Frame crunch its knuckles together and began with an opening stance with fists clenched, "so let's go hard guy"

"Don't think because your tin can bot is smaller I'll go easier!" shouted Hipotank as he lunged forward and threw the first punch. Red Frame swerved to the side so the punch missed and landed a right hook on Hipotank's face. The large bot staggered and rubbed his face, teeth gritted.

"So strength is everything right?" asked Lowe, "you know Hipotank I'm a Junk tech first and a fighter second, so I'll happily do some repairs to ya later"

"You want a bet, I'm gonna use that suits head to drink oil out of" said Hipotank as he went on the offensive again, but every punch he threw Lowe made Red Frame dodge, duck or block. Hipotank got more and more aggressive and angry.

After five minutes one punch throw gave Red Frame a chance to end the fight. Bending over backwards it grabbed the Gerbera Straight and drew the blade. Hipotank froze, if he moved forward more the blade now on his neck would cut through him.

"Its all about brains and brawn" said Lowe as several students helped Hipotank up as Red Frame placed the sword back in its sheath and called the flight pack back and linked to it again.

"An excellent show Lowe" said Yokotron.

"Thanks, hope it helps your students" said Lowe as Red Frame bowed. He then noticed something, someone very familiar was driving past in a hurry. At once Red Frame took flight and followed, catching up as the two headed topside.

"Yo Drift, where ya going?" Lowe asked.

"Don't follow me Gear I have to do this alone" said Drift.

"Oh don't start the loan wolf act, come on we're a team remember?" said Lowe, "so I'm coming with…where are we going?"

"During the fight I managed to attach a homing device onto Deadlock. I'm tracking it now to find him. Maybe as well discover how he's even alive" explained Drift.

"Why don't we tell the others? Blurr and Bulkhead joined the party after all" said Lowe.

"Because a group might be dangerous, however one or two of us should be fine" said Drift.

"Well if it solves this mystery of you talking to yourself, 8 and I are in" said Lowe.

"Thanks Lowe, sorry if I'm on edge" said Drift.

"Hey I'm still getting used to life on other planets" chuckled Lowe as the two headed out into the mountain areas.

Back at the City Council hall Senator Proteus walked quickly through the halls to his office and locked the door behind him. He was panicking and shaking a little.

"You have it then?"

Proteus spun round and drew a gun as he saw Destiny Gundam sitting at his desk.

"How did you get in here?" he snapped, his arm shaking.

"I don't waste time, plus that little commotion early today helped" said Shinn as he sat in the pilots seats, "Galvatron is anxious for news Proteus, do you have the data?"

"Yes, yes I do…b...b…but even with my clearance I couldn't make a copy for disc usage" said Proteus.

"That was the deal Proteus, you give me the data, and in turn Galvatron doesn't leak about you turning a blind eye to Deathsaurus and his teams little experiments and coup plans. Now where is the data?" asked Shinn as Destiny rose up.

"In my main memory banks, I downloaded everything we had on file, it's not the exact location but it will act as a beacon to direct to where you can find more data" said Proteus.

"Then hand it over" said Shinn sternly.

"NO! Don't you get it? Deathsaurus is out of control, he's gone behind my bank and struck a deal with Nemesis Prime, he's already putting his plans in motion, Deadlock was just the start. Take me with you, if you want the data then take me with you" Proteus snapped back.

"Last chance Proteus, the data now" said Shinn as Destiny walked forward.

"Get Back, Get Back, or I'll shoot" shouted Proteus as he put the gun to his head, Destiny's however was already drawn and shot the gun to pieces as its free hand grabbed Proteus' face and began transferring the data to its computers.

When it was done it let go as Destiny walked past a quivering Proteus, before he could speak a sword went through his chest as he tried to scream in pain, but as Dark Energon coursed through him his body began to fry out and he collapsed to the ground. With that Destiny vanished but before Shinn spoke.

"Galvatron and the new Decepticon Empire thanks you for your service"

In another part of the city Dearka was making contact with one of his own hologram devices to contact Yzak and fill him in on recent events.

"Space Stations, other aliens, if it wasn't for the Autobots I'd say you were watching too many sci-fi films" said Yzak.

"Its hard to imagine all of this I know. Maybe it'll open up a new world for humanity" said Dearka as he poured himself something to drink.

"And now you sound like a reading from the script from Mass Effect" Yzak added which made Dearka laugh a little.

"Athrun's been talking to Kira but how are things in PLANT?" he asked.

"Well I stepped down from the council, got sick of the all the political BS. Though we managed to keep the Decepticons on Earth its only a matter of time till they make their move and try to expand. In fact we're moving a large fleet now to join the operation to kick the out of Europe. But its taken a toll on our Earth forces, Megatron hit them first and made off with enough energy to fuel his troops for a while. Goddamn I hate this war" Yzak snarled.

"Surely even if they have been turning damaged Mobile Suits into foot soldier drones you can beat them right?" asked Dearka.

"The major problem is how many they have. Don't forget they have their own troops too alongside their elites. Megatron may not have the largest army but his combat styles mixed with some of the strategists on his side still make him dangerous. But with Nemesis Prime gone with Scorponok and several of his best troops it puts a small strain so we are getting some chances for victory" explained Yzak.

"And the council?" asked Dearka.

"Much the same as ORB's, split down the middle about all this, the fools thinks if we order the Autobots off world the Decepticons will follow. Damn cowards are what they are, but least the troops know what to do. Their ready to fight to keep Earth and our entire Solar System safe" said Yzak.

"And Lacus is doing a good job?" asked Dearka.

"More than good, she did something incredible, brought the Minerva back from the Moon, repaired it and now it serves as our flagship" said Yzak with a smile.

"Wonder who they chose its Captain" said Dearka.

"Where the hell do you think I'm talking to you from?" chuckled Yzak, "Commander Yzak of the Minerva and now Head of the ZAFT Military as appointed by Chairwoman Clyne herself"

"You leading ZAFT's armies, Lacus at PLANT, Kira with ORB, looks like us Old Soldiers are hitting the big time" laughed Dearka.

"We're not old yet Dearka" sighed Yzak, "and the Gods of War are still on our side. We'll win this and to prove it, I'm gonna have Trypticon's head as a trophy"

"Then I'll let you get back to it" said Dearka.

"Just hurry up on your mission, otherwise you'll have nothing to shoot, Yzak out" said Yzak as he cut communication. Dearka grabbed the Hologram Device and grinned.

"Yeah right, I'll always have the better kill count" he laughed.

It was late afternoon as Drift and Red Frame landed outside what looked like the entrance to a underground area of the planet.

"According to when Dai Atlas the and others first landed here this was an old mine used by whatever lived here before us" explained Drift.

"Did they ever use it during the building of Crystal City?" asked Lowe.

"No they had enough materials and Energon to get the job done, right down to the raising system that allows the City to emerge topside, its never been used though" said Drift.

"And this is where Deadlock's tracker leads us too. I don't need Pointy Ears and a Black Cape to know this could be a trap" said Lowe.

"Why would you need Pointy Ears and a Black Cape anyway?" asked Drift.

"I'll explain later" said Lowe as he got out of Red Frame carrying 8 with him and climbed onto the Red Frame's Flight pack.

"8, you ready?" he asked as he opened a hatched and placed 8 inside, connected wires to the computer.

"Not really, Wheeljack and you said this may work in theory" said 8.

"If this works old buddy then maybe we can improve on the design and size" said Lowe as he closed the hatch and climbed back into the cockpit. He separated the flight pack from Red Frame as it hovered in the air, Drift watched with curiosity.

"Okay 8, phase 1 done, now phase 2" said Lowe with a grin.

At first nothing but then 5 seconds later the Flight pack began to transform, with the thrusters still at the back the other parts changed into a small Red Robot whose appearance was based off Rewind and Eject only with a mouth instead of a visor.

"How you finding it 8?" asked Lowe.

"It's difficult at first but it's actually weird in a good way. I actually have a body" said 8 as he hovered around.

"Alright, head back to Crystal City and tell Rodimus and Athrun where we are, good luck" said Lowe.

"You too" said 8 as he flew off back the way they came. Lowe chuckled as he looked at Drift.

"What?" he asked.

"Nothing, just you humans always amaze me" Drift said wit ha smile as the two slowly entered the mine.

For a old mining area the tunnel continued to head straight down and was surprisingly roomy for the two robots.

"Signals getting stronger, he's down here, probably in a main area" said Drift.

"That's not all" said Lowe, "my scanners are picking up Cybertronian Metal, lots of Cybertronian metal…and that" he added as noise began to echo through the cave.

"Machinery, come on" said Drift as they got closer to their destination.

Taking cover behind rocks they took a look.

"No way" said Lowe.

It was a factory, a massive one that was nearly double the size of New York. Automated Machinery continued work on what looked like parts and components for weapons.

"Hey" whispered Lowe, "don't those pieces look familiar?"

"Minus the Purple Paintjob they look like parts made for Omega Supreme, but it looks like their mass producing them" said Drift.

"What worries me as well is that" said Lowe pointing at on one wall was a giant Autobot Symbol with a massive scar cut through it. Their questions were sooner answered as they heard some familiar voices from below.

"I could have taken him" said Deadlock as he walked alongside Deathsaurus and the Kaiser Squad.

"Your orders were to infiltrate and assassinate the Prime then bring me the Matrix" said Deathsaurus.

"You also said to test out my combat efficiency, I did that the best way I knew" argued Deadlock.

"Challenging what is technically you only caused more problems, now we have to work ahead of schedule. Your lucky Nemesis agreed to an alliance and I have need of your talents" said Deathsaurus.

"He is not me, he is just weak" said Deadlock,

"Of that we can agree on you spawn of a glitch" muttered Drift as he signalled Lowe to follow him as they snuck around investigating.

"How many units have we managed to construct?" asked Deathsaurus.

"20 my Lord, we still have an extra 10 as well though" said Leozack.

"No, that will do, have the components moved ready for the final phase, Nemesis' forces are ready. Thanks to some persuasion I had Proteus grant me the city access codes to the Raising System" Deathsaurus said with a sinister grin across the side of his face, "and all I needed was to gain the trust of that old fool"

"Lord Deathsaurus, our delivery is here" said Hellbat, from above a roar of jets were heard as Starscream, Thundercracker, Skywarp and Sunstorm landed before them.

"Starscream, I hope you found the entrance well?" asked Deathsaurus.

"Your flight entrance nearly got us killed, if I had not led we'd have crashed and would be in pieces" complained Starscream.

"Surprised that tunnel fit your ego" said Leozack as the Kaiser squad chuckled.

"See he hasn't changed" said Thundercracker.

"Their brothers, only natural" said Skywarp.

"Skywarp" growled Starscream, "the package"

Skywarp nodded as he stepped forward with Sunstorm as they opened a set pair of briefcases which contained a selection of guns, one matching the colour of a Kaiser Squad member.

"And this is the best part" said Skywarp as he snapped his fingers, each gun transformed into a form of robotic animal that came to life and headed forwards their respected partner before transforming and fusing to their chest.

"Zarak saw it fit for them to act as scouts, weapons and extra guard for your bodies" explained Starscream as he opened another briefcase, these contained a vicious looking cat animal and a vulture which transformed and fused onto Deathsaurus' chest who laughed.

"Excellent Starscream, Kaiser Squad, as you now see on our new chests, we have the symbol of the Decepticons again. And a new name, you are now Kaisercons, keepers of the Chest Force.

"Long live the Decepticons!" the Kaisercons shouted.

As this went on Drift and Red Frame moved around the little chat their enemies were having and found what looked like a lab. Lowe managed to hack open the door as they snuck in.

Inside were a series of metal boxes as well as Lab and Engineering equipment and a few pods.

"Stasis pods?" asked Lowe as he looked at them, each contained what looked like a faceless white body.

"No, even more special. Protoforms" said Drift.

"Protoforms?" asked Lowe.

"Yes, long ago before the great war the ancients found a way to create blank bodies for Cybertronians, a Protoform was placed into a outer body structure and then a life spark of a new Cybertronian or a Cybertronian whose body had been broken beyond repair was placed in. The Protoform came to life and the body formed around the metals creating a body for the spark. These days if a new Cybertronian was to be created the process takes longer. But this, if we could get a sample out, or even the data on it this could help the war effort" explained Drift.

"And what about these boxes? I see six small ones, four medium and one large" said Lowe.

"Material storage maybe, we have to get news of this out. Maybe that console can send a message to Crystal City" said Drift as he went over to a computer but stopped as he heard groaning and the sound of chains. At once he and Red Frame moved some junk aside to find a Cybertronian. He looked old and was Blue and White with what appeared to be a beard. He was damaged and looked like he had been abused for quite some time.

"What the hell?" asked Lowe, Drift looked at the old robot closer.

"Wait, I know you, I've seen your face on a info message once back home. Are you…Ultra Trion?" he asked.

The old Robot looked up slowly.

"You…you carry the sword…and the Autobot symbol" he said weakly.

"Yes, my name is Drift, I'm a friend of Dai Atlas'. Wait, you vanished centuries ago…are you…the High Councillor of Crystal City?" he asked.

"Yes...It was I who led them to this planet, I who helped create Crystal City, the only one who knew my true identity was Victory Leo. He was my most trusted body guard" said Ultra Trion.

"Who is this guy?" asked Lowe.

"Ultra Trion, he was a brilliant scientist and engineer on Cybertron, one of the few surviving ancients from the Golden Age. It was his technology that helped his brother Alpha Trion create Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus" explained Drift.

"And Nemesis?" asked Lowe.

"Sadly yes" said Drift.

"Alpha, does he live?" asked Ultra Trion.

"We do not know, many rumours swirl about his disappearance" said Drift.

"But Optimus lives?" asked Ultra Trion.

"Yes and so does Magnus, he serves on our ship" said Drift. Ultra Trion weakly smiled and laughed.

"He lives, he really lives" he said.

"Whys he so happy about Magnus?" asked Lowe.

"Because I have known Magnus before he became Magnus, it was I who forged his spark, his body and Protoform. When he was damaged I offered Alpha the schematics for his new body. It nearly broke my spark to leave him behind" said Ultra Trion.

"So Ultra Magnus is like your son?" asked Drift.

"Yes, but you must get out of here, Deathsaurus betrayed us all. He found me in my factory and is using my very data files and Protoforms to take over Crystal City" said Ultra Trion.

"That explains the Omega Parts. He must be trying to mass produce the Omega Sentinels. They were mass produced machines created to guard Cybertron, however Megatron made short work of them. Unlike Omega Supreme they don't have sparks" said Drift.

"And that's why he has the Protoforms, gonna find someway to make their bodies" said Lowe.

"And if he does…Crystal City is doomed" said Ultra Trion.

"We'll get you loose" said Drift as he drew a sword.

"No, I'll slow you down" said Ultra Trion.

"It doesn't matter, we'll get you back, warn the others and then you can be patched up. Plus I want to know why it was claimed the one who led the people here was named Star Sabre" said Drift.

But before he could break Ultra Trion free a massive surge of electricity hit both Drift and Red Frame which also enter the Gundams cockpit. Lowe and Drift screamed before falling to the ground unconscious.

"Well, what do we have here Ultra old friend, a pair of nosey busybodies" said Deathsaurus who stood with Starscream and Shrapnel who had been hiding on the roof.

"Deathsaurus, please don't hurt them" said Ultra Trion.

"Hurt them? Why my dear old friend" chuckled Deathsaurus, "I want them alive, so they can watch as Crystal City burns and I tear the Matrix from Rodimus Prime's chest"

Next Chapter: The Battle of Crystal City Begins and the raise of new allies begins.
