In the Armada reality...
"Ah, the Decepticon base on the moon. Finding the artifact will be easy." Thrust said as he was taking in his surroundings. "So your know-how can help us find it where?" "Simple, Breakdown, when I first arrived here, I found a group of Mini-Cons hiding in a hidden room. That is where we will first look." "Good enough for me, let's go." "Yes." said Swindle. "We can also look for some good parts or weapons. Even shipwrecks have some good value." "No!" yelled Megatron. "We are here for the prize, not for pathetic sales!" "Pathetic?! I'll have you know my merchandise is the best you'll ever -" "ENOUGH!" yelled Thrust. "We are here with a goal, and nothing else! No distractions!"
On the ship...
"You hear something?" "Yes I do, Breakdown, faint footsteps. We are so close to the hiding place, we can't risk any interruptions! Scalpel, check around the corner." The tiny Decepticon scurries around the corner to see the Autobots near their goal. "I am detecting an unusual energy behind this wall, this may be what we seek." Red Alert was scanning the corridor, with results looking promising. "All right, I'll cover the rear. No telling where the Decepticons will show up." "Right Arcee, me and Silverbolt will cover the sides." Arcee, Silverbolt, and Optimus Primal formed the perimeter while Red Alert proceeded to break through the wall.
"Autobots are here!" "Hm, things just got complicated. We need a plan of attack." Thrust's eyes went to Swindle. "What do you have that can do highly accurate shots?" "Well, I got everything, for the right price." Megatron loomed behind him. "How about your spark intact?" "That will do."
Thrust took careful aim. "I must be swift. They are almost through." He pin-pointed his target, and fired. Scalpel flew through the air and landed on Red Alert, and then proceeded to borough under his metal plating. "What? There's something in me! It's trying to tear me apart from the inside!" Arcee was the first to catch on. "Decepticons. They're here." "How right you are, my dear." Arcee turns just in time to dodge Swindle's attack and retaliate, but cannot get through his force field. Silverbolt transforms and begins aerial maneuvers around Thrust. Primal charges at Megatron, surprising him and knocking him off balance. The sudden action momentarily confuses Breakdown, until he remembers his part of the plan and moves past the fight to the hidden room. He proceeds to bust the wall open when Red Alert sees him and realizes what's going on. "Autobots! It's a distraction! One of them is going for -"
CRASH!
Breakdown breaks through the wall, charging into the room and grabbing the Orb of Sigma. Red Alert looks on helplessly as they vanish, the match over.
"The Decepticons have taken the lead. Interesting." The shadowy figures could not help but wonder if they heard a bit of concern in The Gamer's voice, or if he was playing them like he was playing the others.
