Aboard the Nemesis, Starscream makes his report on the mine's destruction.
Starscream: You'll be pleased to know that the Autobots has been destroyed once and for all.
Megatron: And what evidence of this do you have?
Starscream: Why, I destroyed the mines, as you've have instructed.
Megatron: Optimus is not easily destroyed; we have a long history of battles behind us to prove it.
Starscream: Maybe you should take a break, my Lord. I fear that too much contact with the Dark Energon maybe having it's effects on you.
Megatron: Or perhaps, Starscream, I haven't permitted myself contact ENOUGH!
Megatron grabs another piece of Dark Energon to use on himself.
Starscream: What?! Lord Megatron, No! Not your Spark chamber! You don't know what it'll do to you!
Megatron sticks the piece of the dark matter into his Spark, as he feels the blood of Unicron run through his veins.
Starscream: Lord Megatron!
Megatron's eyes soon turns purple as the Dark Energon takes it's effect; Megatron has now realized how to control the undead Terrorcons. Megatron gives off an evil laugh.
Megatron: Yes. Yes! It is as I feel the blood of Unicron coursing through my veins.
Later, at the Autobot base, Ratchet is running some tests on the purple goo he got from Sunstreaker, but a drop goes on a piece of equipment that either Bulkhead or Ironhide crushed.
Ratchet: It's not everyday that peace and quiet comes around, but still; I doubt that it'll be that simple.
As Ratchet procedes with his work, a sound of a piece of metal falling is heard and Ratchet looks around.
Ratchet: What was that? Optimus? Jazz?
But as to Ratchet's surprise, a little robot of an unknown origin comes towards Ratchet.
Ratchet: By the All Spark!
Ratchet fights grabs a piece of pipe to knock it off, then it cuts off a piece of a microscope.
Ratchet: I needed that!
As the robot jumps to kill Ratchet, a blast hits the little thing, as Ratchet looks, the shot came from Optimus. The little robot tries to get back up, but Ratchet steps on it.
Ratchet: And stay broken. What do you suppose caused that?
Optimus Prime: I have a grave suspicion, the one thing we feared that we would encounter... Dark Energon.
Meanwhile, at Seika High School, Misaki was going over some paperwork.
Misaki: Yukimura, have you finished with those reports?
Yukimura: Well, no, ma'am. I didn't get them done in time. Sorry!
Yukimura runs off crying.
Misaki: Oh, that Yukimura is hopeless.
Meanwhile, at Ouran Academy, Tamaki was planning something for the next event to make the girl's hearts melt with so much swoon and for a way to make Haruhi look like a girl, without revealing that she is one; at the same time Haruhi is the library studying, but is interuppted when the twins came in.
Hikaru: Haruhi let's play!
Haruhi: But I don't have time.
Kaoru: Aw, come on, Haruhi! We should make the time.
The twins grabs Haruhi and they run off, but then Tamaki walks down the halls and he is in a fit of rage.
Tamaki: How dare you touch my little girl without my permission!
Tamaki goes off running after them. Meanwhile, aboard the Nemesis, Megatron has a plan to bring Optimus to his doom. Megatron grabs another piece of Dark Energon from the pile and goes out the door.
Megatron: Starscream! You will assume command in my abscence.
Starscream: Of course, my liege. Is there anything I could do while you're away?
Megatron: Stop groveling and await my command!
Megatron takes his leave, Starscream then decides to make his move to make his way to the top.
Starscream: (thinking) It seems that I'll have to make plans ahead of schedule; to make my dream as leader of the Decepticons a reality! But I will have to make my plans carefully, especially with that big idiot Luggnaut kissing up to him. I will make him choose sides... I'll make them all choose!
Back at Autobot base.
Ratchet: Optimus, with all due respect; the idea of Dark Energon on Earth is unheard of.
Optimus Prime: But not impossible.
Ratchet: I do admit that it explains Brawn's signal suddenly coming back online, but what in the All Spark is Dark Energon be doing here on Earth?
Optimus Prime: I am certain that Megatron still has Dark Energon aboard his warship when we left Cybertron; and I have a grave feeling that he's also discovered a huge sum of it on Earth.
Jazz: Okay, okay. Dark Energon on Cybertron and Earth. What do you think that Megs will do with it?
Optimus Prime: I fear that he will use it to resurrect an undead army.
Jazz: Say what?
Ratchet: An undead army on Earth?!
Optimus Prime: Yes and we will go to the precise location. Prepare the ground bridge.
Ratchet opens the ground bridge so as Optimus and Ratchet will investigate. Optimus turns to Jazz.
Optimus Prime: Jazz, you will assume command until we return.
Jazz: Sure thing, boss bot. But if case you're wrong... be careful.
Optimus nods; he and Ratchet take their leave, Cliffjumper drives in as the ground bridge closes.
Cliffjumper: So sub-commander, where are Optimus and Ratchet?
Jazz: Optmus left on an errand.
Cliffjumper: Isn't it Bumblebee's job to scout around?
Jazz: Bee's out looking over Misaki, Takumi, and Shintani.
Meanwhile, back at Ouran Academy, Honey and Mori are going over their training exercises with their younger brothers, Yasuchika Haninozuka and Satoshi Morinozuka; Honey nicknamed his brother "Chika-Chan" and Satoshi "Sato-Chan", cuz it sounded cute to him. As Honey and Chika goes at it, it looks like that Chika has the upper-hand, but as usual he loses the fight; Honey dusts himself off like it was nothing.
Honey: Actually thought you had me that time, Chika-Chan.
Chika: I was SO close...
Satoshi: Don't worry Yasuchika, you'll get him next time, I think.
Mori: Yeah.
Meanwhile, in a canyon somewhere in America, Optimus and Ratchet walks as they investigate the sight of the largest Cybertronian battle field.
Ratchet: Optimus, do you think that we will find it here?
Optimus Prime: I do, Ratchet.
Ratchet: Forgive me for saying this, but you've got to be joking.
Optimus Prime: Do you recall a period late in the war, when both sides began to hide their Energon supplies off-world?
Ratchet: Of course. And that's the reason why Energon deposits exist on planets such as this one.
Optimus Prime: It is also the reason that battles came to be waged on planets such as this one. And I fear that Megatron's memory is long as history itself.
Meanwhile, at Seika High School, Misaki is patrolling the halls and she hears a boy giving a girl a hard time.
Boy 1: Oh come on, it's only for one day.
Girl: But I have things to do this afternoon.
Boy 2: It won't take too long.
Misaki: Why don't you do it yourself?!
They two boys turn and they see Misaki in their vision of the devil, but the girl sees her as her savior. Aboard the Nemesis, Starscream is looking over Haruhi's file on the computer, and he hatches his plan.
Starscream: This one is rather interesting for a human; but I can use this Haruhi Fujioka to my advantage over the Autobots.
Thundercracker: But Commander Starscream.
Skywarp: Didn't Lord Megatron, say that we should wait for his word?
Starscream: I do not appreciate your tone, Skywarp! I am in command while Lord Megatron is away; and what I say goes! Understood?
Skywarp: Yes sir.
Starscream: Now go and bring Haruhi Fujioka to me!
Thundercracker and Skywarp take their leave to fetch Haruhi aboard the Decepticon warship; later, after school at Ouran Academy, Haruhi is on her way to catch a train home, but she sees two jets flying over the sky, Haruhi knew that it might the cons in disguise so she makes a run for it, but the two jets transforms into their robot mode, Thundercracker grabs her.
Thundercracker: Target...
Skywarp: Captured.
Haruhi: Wait a minute!
Thundercracker: Soundwave! We need a ground bridge! Stat!
As the two Decepticons takes their hostage, Haruhi pushes a button she had stashed in her uniform, just in case. Back at the Autobot base, the alarm goes off, Jazz, and the others recieves it.
Misaki: What is that?
Jazz: It's an SOS from Haruhi!
Misaki: What?! Can't you get a hold of Optimus?!
Wheeljack: I'm trying to reach him, but no response!
Jazz: We'll have to go in after her!
Misaki: And I'm going with you!
The Autobots are shocked to hear what she said, but Jazz had to draw the line.
Jazz: Sorry Misa, no can do.
Misaki: What? Why not?!
Jazz: We can't risk putting you in harm's way! Optimus will never forgive himself if we did.
Misaki knew that Jazz was right, but she couldn't just sit back and do nothing, so she'll have to go inspite what Jazz said.
Jazz: Okay, bots! Let's go! Cliff! Drift! Bee! Bulk! Let's go! Wheeljack! Open the ground bridge!
Wheeljack: I can't! I don't have a fix on their ship!
Aboard the Nemesis Haruhi is being carried by Thundercracker, as he and Skywarp takes her to Starscream, Thundercracker puts Haruhi down. She looks up and sees Starscream.
Starscream: Welcome, Haruhi, was it? I am Starscream.
Haruhi: Where's Megatron?
Starscream: Nevermind about him. I have brought you here as my honored guest.
Skywarp: (whispering to Thundercracker) We were the ones doing all the hard work.
Thundercracker nods.
Starscream: Now tell me. Be a good little human and tell me where the Autobots are!
Haruhi: I won't tell you anything! I won't betray Optimus by telling you Decepticons about their location!
Starscream: So that's how you want it? Make our guest more comfortable.
Skywarp grabs Haruhi and chains her up. Back at Ouran Academy, Tamaki is freaking out over the fact that Haruhi is missing.
Tamaki: Where is she?! Where could my precious little girl be?!
Kyouya: Calm down, you idiot! Did you turn on the tracker Wheeljack and Ratchet made for you?
Tamaki blushed.
Tamaki: I guess I didn't...
Kyouya: Moron.
Kyouya turns on his laptop, and he pushes a few buttons to pinpoint Haruhi's exact location, but he found that Haruhi's signal is moving.
Kyouya: Oh my...
Tamaki looks at the laptop and he gives a gasp of shock.
Tamaki: No... not on with them...
Kyuoya: Kyuoya to Autobot base. We have a fix onto Haruhi's coordinates.
Wheeljack: (VO) Good work, Kyuoya! It's what we need!
Back at Autobot base.
Jazz: Okay bots! Transform and roll out!
The Autobots present transforms into their vehicle mode, but Misaki jumps onto Drift as the ground bridge opens and the drive out.
Meanwhile, aboard the Nemesis, Haruhi is chained up as Thundercracker, Skywarp, and Slipstream stand around her, and Starscream asks her some questions.
Starscream: Haruhi, I have only one request that it may save your family a pain of grieving; tell me the location of the Autobot base.
Haruhi: Sure. Can I ask you something first?
Starscream: Very well, I'm listening.
Haruhi: Can't I complain to your boss with the service around here?
Starscream growls
Starscream: I make the decesions here! I am in charge! Bring the prod.
Jazz and his squad make their way through the ground bridge, with Misaki on the seat. The bots transforms back to robot mode.
Drift: Wasn't Jazz not clear about it being too dangerous?
Misaki: You can lecture me about it later! Haruhi is in trouble and I can't just wait and do nothing!
Jazz: It dosen't matter now; we're too close to turn back.
Vehicon 1: You there!
Misaki and the Autobots turns and they see the Vehicon troopers approaching them.
Misaki: Aw, crap.
Back into the interogation room.
Starscream: I will ask kindly for one last time. The Autobot base!
Haruhi: And I will tell you for the last time, no sale!
Starscream jabs the Energon probe onto Haruhi as it gives her a shock.
Starscream: As I thought, Energon and humans don't mix.
Back at the canyon, Optimus and Ratchet arrives at their destination, and they see a battlefield filled the dead of both Autobots and Decepticons.
Ratchet: For the first time in my life, Optimus; I have hoped that you were wrong.
Megatron is coming in his jet mode, he transforms as he lands on a ledge of a canyon.
Megatron: Optimus! Been well? I see that you have brought Ratchet with you! I was certain that he will be rusting in a scrap heap by now!
Ratchet: If he wants rusting, then let's bring him down for a chat!
Optimus Prime: I know why you are here, Megatron!
Megatron: I am not surprised, Optimus! After all, you and I have been at this for a long time! And your time is up!
Megatron pulls out the Dark Energon shard and throws into the Cybertronian battlefield; it sinks into the earth and gives off a purple glow. The earth shatters opens, Optimus and Ratchet stands there shocked at what they are seeing. Megatron gives off a purple glow as well.
Megatron: Rise my army!
Megatron's eyes turns purple once again, and the once dead robots rises from their resting places.
Ratchet: By the All Spark...
All the fallen rises up to attack Optimus and Ratchet.
Megatron: Behold! The power of Dark Energon!
Optimus and Ratchet are in a real pickle, but they aren't the only ones. Haruhi has been captured and Misaki stowed aboard to help her. How will turn out for everyone! Next chapter.
