Flashback, the Day After Trypiticon Fell...

The Fallen was seen inside of his chamber, lava flowing down as part of the room as he stood in front of the Monitors, looking over the events that transpired over the last 24 hours as Cyclonus and Nightbird walked inside towards their Master.

Fallen: (Stands in front of the Monitors as Cyclonus and Nightbird stood behind him) What brings your presence?

Cyclonus: (Kneels before the Fallen) Master, the Trypiticon Prison has been destroyed, as well as Megatron.

Fallen: I have heard...

Nightbird: And the Girl, she managed to gain the full power of the Allspark, but she reported to have died in action, and the Autobots currently have her body in their possession.

Cyclonus: So with your permission, we ask if we could infiltrate the Autobots and escort her to you?

Fallen: (Stood before the monitors) Denied.

Nightbird: (Raises a brow) Father, if I may ask, why not?

Fallen: (Turns to the two) Because I have already acquired her for us.

Soon, the Fallen led the two to another room, as Mindwipe and Tarn were inside with Sari Sumdac, now wearing a Black dress as she laid down on a Berth seemingly dead as they walked to her.

Fallen: (Walks to Sari) While the Autobots were mourning the loss of her and Optimus Prime, I saw my chance to bring her here unnoticed.

Tarn: (Turns to the Fallen) Master, I have run a scan on her, and it turns out that not only the girl is still quite alive but is in at a comatose state, but she also contains half the power of the Allspark inside of her.

Fallen: (Turns to Tarn) How long until she wakes from the coma?

Tarn: Not too long, and rest assured, the explosion in Trypiticon's core had hit her head to the point where she will have no recollection of her identity, nor any of the Autobots she fought side by side with.

Mindwipe: (Folded his Servos) I was impressed that I didn't even need to wipe her Memory in the first place.

Nightbird: (Turns to Sari) So what do we do with her?

Fallen: We take her in. (Turns to Sari) She will make a very useful ally to us, and the war that is soon to come.

Cyclonus: (Turns to the Fallen) Master, should we worried about another being with powers like hers? Tarn did say she contained only half the power of the Allspark.

Fallen: (Walks to Sari as he softly rubbed her hair) I cannot imagine anyone else that is as extraordinary as her...

Back in the Present, Cade was seen lying on a table being scanned by Ratchet, Perceptor, Wheeljack, and Red Alert, Yellow lasers shooting at Cade without harm while in another scene, the Autobots, both Bumblebee and Rodimus Prime's teams gathered in the Metroplex Council Chambers as they discussed what happened on Earth.

Ultra Magnus: (Sits in his chair while looking at the groups) So you mean to tell me that not only you brought an Earth-based Organic to Cybertron, it also wields half the power of the Allspark?

Bumblebee: Indeed, he somehow got into contact with the Allspark and wields half its power.

Rodimus: But to how he got it is still unknown to us.

Alpha Trion: This news is very... (Cade's vitals are now seen through a screen, as Perceptor and Wheeljack see positive results of Allspark energy inside of him) Disturbing.

Cliffjumper: From what I've dug up, the Allspark can only be wielded by those of Cybertronian origins, and the result of an Organic possessing such power can result in an instantaneous death.

Bumblebee: Yes, but yet Cade Yeager managed to wield it!

Ratchet: And from what we've checked out, he still does.

Botanica: But to how he can do so is still the question we're looking for.

Ultra Magnus: (Turns to Perceptor) Perceptor, you have visited the Planet yourself and studied the boy's biology, so perhaps you could shed some light into this mystery.

Perceptor: (Stands up) Of course Ultra Magnus. (Turns to his fellow Councilman while Cade was seen having a needle put onto his arm) Of course, we don't know the answer to where Cade Yeager managed to get the Allspark into his system, we did find out that the other half of the Allspark was indeed siphoned into him in only 5 Lunar Cycles, and then it only took 2 more to fully manifest onto himself.

Alpha Trion: Alright, but that doesn't answer how he can still live with it.

Perceptor: We don't know how it's possible, but Wheeljack and I have worked upon a theory. (Gets out a datapad and shows a holographic image of Sari in her Decepticon Armor) The one is known as Sariana Sumdac, or now known to be a Decepticon by the name of Misary, was the last individual to come into contact with the Allspark during the Invasion of Earth, where she was thought to be killed in action.

Botanica: I'm sorry, but we were led to believe Sari had perished on Trypiticon.

Cliffjumper: You're not saying that the Sumdac child was somehow brought back from the Well of Allsparks?

Rodimus: Yeah. (Turns to Bumblebee, who looked at the floor) And unfortunately... (Turns to the Council) She has aligned herself with the Decepticons.

Ultra Magnus: Is that so?

Perceptor: Yes, and it's possible that she did not die, but rather go into a dormant state after her attempt to destroy the Prison's Reactor Core. (Shows another Hologram, which is Cade) And this leads to one possibility since Cade Yeager and Sari Sumdac both share the power of the Allspark, that they both have some kind of bond between them.

Bumblebee: (Looks up at Perceptor) Bond?

Alpha Trion: What do you mean by that?

Ratchet: (Steps in) He means that the reason why Cade isn't turning into a pile of ash, and why he and Sari share the Allspark is because they have managed to gain contact through it at separate times, and when that happened, they managed to create a connection to each other, resulting in both of them having two separate Allspark halves.

Cliffjumper: So that means the Decepticons have another half of an Allspark on their side.

Bulkhead: (Steps in) But there is a possibility that she could have been Reprogrammed by the Decepticons to work for them! I mean, Soundwave tried doing to the same a while back, because there's no way Sari would ever-!

Ultra Magnus: Autobot Bulkhead, I admire the thought, but if this is true, then we have no choice, but to declare her as a Decepticon herself.

Alpha Trion: Indeed, Sari Sumdac was a good ally to the Autobot Cause, but unfortunately, we have to come to accept that she poses a danger to all now that the Decepticons have her on their Cause.

Botanica: But as for Cade Yeager, what do you suppose we do since he has the other half of the Allspark?

Ultra Magnus: (Turns to Bumblebee) I believe Autobot Bumblebee can elaborate on that question, considering his past experiences on Earth.

Bumblebee: (Turns to everyone around him) Well, I've known Cade for only a Stellar Cycle, and he has helped out a lot, despite not being a Techno-Organic, so I think we should help him in return.

Alpha Trion: And we'd be willing to do so, but the question we now ask is where exactly is he?

Cade, was in the room he was placed in, standing on a balcony with energy screens, looking at Iacon as the life filled the air, while Bumblebee came in to walk to Cade.

Bumblebee: (Walks to Cade) Cade.

Cade: (Turns around and sees Bumblebee) Bee! (Turns to Bumblebee) Hey, how's your day?

Bumblebee: Pretty smooth. (Knelt down and handed him a small bag) I knew you would be hungry, so Crosshairs made a quick stop to Earth and got you some grub.

Cade: (Takes the bag and grabs out a grilled cheese) Grilled cheese, huh? (Takes a bite out of it) Mmm! Man, this is good!

Bumblebee: (Smiled) Glad you like it. (Sits down in front of Cade) How are you right now?

Cade: (Swallows his bite) Well, I'm still currently... (Looks at Iacon) Adjusting.

Bumblebee: I understand that you were brought here without your consent, and if I had it any other way-!

Cade: Hey, no hard feelings! (Puts down his sandwich) I mean when I was little, I used to dream going up into Space, traveling to other Planets, maybe even visiting the Moon, just... (Looks at his hands as they began to glow again) Not the way I'd picture it. (Sighs) I mean, first I get the Allspark in me, then apparently, I get myself into trouble with the Government, and the next, I learn not only Sari Sumdac is alive, but she is now a Decepticon, who all now want to dissect me, or whatever-!

Bumblebee: Hey, none of those are any of your faults! We're going to help you Cade, and you're going to get through this.

Cade: I know. (Turns to Bee) I mean, you guys know a lot about the Allspark, so I'm pretty sure that if I'm pointed at the right direction, then I can go home. (Shrugs) Simple, right?

Bumblebee: (Rubbed his Helm) Well...

Rodimus: (Walks inside with Jazz, Ratchet, Arcee, and Bulkhead) Bumblebee, is Cade all set up?

Cade: (Turns to the others) Hey guys. (Raises a brow) Um, set up for what now?

Jazz: Hadn't BB told you yet?

Bumblebee: Right. (Turns to Cade) After we brought you here, the Council was taken by surprise, but Perceptor managed to tell them about how you have one half an Allspark in you.

Cade: So, shouldn't I be okay then?

Arcee: The Council requested an audience with you.

Cade: Why? I'm not in trouble, am I?

Ratchet: You're not, but you're going to have to be in one of the Med Labs since the Council will be there waiting for you.

Bumblebee: Yeah. (Stands up) I'll be with Ultra Magnus, but don't worry, everything's going to be fine.

Cade: (Takes a big breath in) Okay, let's do it.

Rodimus: (Picks Cade up) Right this way.

They all turned to leave the room, all except for Bumblebee and Bulkhead who stayed behind as Bumblebee walked to the balcony.

Bulkhead: (Noticed Bumblebee going to the balcony) So how's Cade doing?

Bumblebee: (Sighs) Cade thinks everything is going to go back to normal in just one second.

Bulkhead: (Raises a brow) Well, isn't it bad to hope for something?

Bumblebee: (Turns to Bulkhead) No, but that hope is probably going to go out in a fuse! Besides, Cade doesn't understand how the Allspark works! And since there is a bond between him and Sari, it's going to be much harder to help him!

Bulkhead: Yeah, but we'll get through it to him.

Bumblebee: I know. (Turns around to the balcony) But I can't focus my Processor right now! With the Fallen, Megatron, or Galvatron, whatever he's called now, still loose in the Universe, and the fact Sari's alive, but now a Decepticon is mind-boggling! And now that the Council issued her as a threat makes it harder for me to concentrate because she's my friend! (Sighs as he sat down against a wall)

Bulkhead: (Sits next to Bumblebee) Sari's my friend too Bumblebee, and I don't like how she's been branded as a Decepticon either.

Bumblebee: I know... (Turns to Bulkhead) And I'm still shocked, but mad that she has been alive the whole time, and I didn't find out earlier! If I'd known she didn't die, I would never have lost my sight on her, and then she'd never be used as a Decepticon weapon in the first place!

Bulkhead: Hey, it ain't your fault Sari's been brainwashed by the Cons!

Bumblebee: But it is Bulkhead! I was the one looking out for her, Cade, and Minerva, and she ends up captured and turned into a Con.

Bulkhead: But that doesn't mean you have anything to do with it! Besides, if Sari's alive, maybe there's a chance that... (Widened his Optics) Oh, never mind.

Bumblebee: (Raises a brow) What, was is it?

Bulkhead: (Curled his large Claws) Well, I was just thinking that since Sari is okay, that maybe... You know, that your Dad could be...

Bumblebee: (Sighs) Bulkhead, I know you're trying to help out. (Gets up and turns to Bulkhead) But my Dad gave his life on Trypiticon, and even if he was still Online, wherein the name of the Allspark would he be right now if he isn't here?

In Space, Thunderstruck, by the A.C.D.C. was being played in the background while the Xantium floated in space, the Autobots, consisting of Optimus Prime, Sentinel Minor, Greenlight, Drift, and the Headmaster Jrs. sat in their seats staring at the front windshield.

Siren: (Yawns as he leaned against his chair) Are we there yet?

Drift: (Sits in the Cockpit) Just wait for one more Solar Cycle, you'll live.

Optimus: (Sits in his seat looking at the vastness of Space) Greenlight, can you make contact with any Autobot in this range?

Greenlight: (Sits in the Co-Pilot's seat, working out the navigation) I would, but we still can't communicate with anyone in this old junk.

Drift: But that doesn't mean someone could try calling us, which is perfect because once we reach Cybertron Space, Autobot Command will probably call us for permission to dock.

Nightbeat: (Widened her Optics) Oh Primus, I forgot about that! How could I forget?

Hosehead: Wait, can't we just land there without any trouble at all?

Nightbeat: Not during a war between Autobots and Decepticons!

Sentinel: Everyone relaxes! I have access codes with me, should there be any kinds of disaster during our Spacebridge Repair, so we're all set up for the moment arrives.

Optimus: That's good to hear.

Siren: Yeah, but I wanna head back so we can celebrate the New Stellar Cycle!

Drift: Oh god, here we go again!

Siren: Hey! I always spent the New Stellar Cycle celebrating it!

Nightbeat: By partying all night long?

Siren: What else a Bot has to do all Cycle?

Optimus: Look, Siren, you can celebrate the New Cycle next Stellar Cycle, it'll be too late when we get there.

Greenlight: (Noticed a Planet) Whoa, look at that!

The ship flew next to a Planet that has lights brightening up the surface as the Autobots looked down at the Planet's surface.

Drift: (Looks at the Planet) Hey, this must be Dromadon.

Siren: (Widened his Visor) Dromadon?! As in the actual Dromadon?! The planet full of never-ending partying Dromadon?! (Gets up off his seat and pointed at the Planet) Let's go over there!

Optimus: (Raises a brow) Siren, you can't be serious!

Hosehead: Yeah, the Planet's full of Shrikebats!

Siren: But most of it is filled with Bots having so much fun!

Optimus: Siren, the answer's no, we're not going to Dromadon!

Siren: But it's right there! And you guys said yourselves! Cybertron is only a Solar Cycle away from here, so why don't we use this opportunity to have some fun?

Drift: (Rubs his chin) You know, I could go for a drink right now.

Optimus: (Turns to Drift) Wait, Drift no!

Greenlight: Actually, I agree with him, I need to have myself some fun!

Optimus: (Turns to Greenlight) Greenlight, not you too!

Sentinel: (Turns to Optimus) Optimus, just calm down! It's not a bad idea to celebrate the New Stellar Cycle.

Optimus: But we have to get to Cybertron!

Sentinel: Which is only a Solar Cycle away from here! And if you think about it more clearly, we had been through a lot on this journey!

Hosehead: Well yeah... (Placed his finger at the palm of his other hand) There was us stranded on a Planet, then getting attacked by Junkions...

Nightbeat: And then those awful times being hunted down by the Bounty Hunter Lockdown, and that Techno-Organic from Pova... (Folds her Servos) Yeah, I think this might be a sound idea.

Optimus: Wait, so now everyone wants to go?

Sentinel: Okay, think of it this way. (Placed a hand on Optimus' shoulder) Dromadon is a Planetary Member of the Autobot Commonwealth, so if there's any chance, we'll see about making a call, and then boom! Everybody knows we're alright! It's a win-win for all of us, don't you agree?

Optimus: (Looks around at everyone staring at him) None of you are going to stop until I agree on this, aren't you?

Sentinel: (Nodded) Yup.

Greenlight: Of course.

Drift: Not letting you go that easily.

Hosehead: Just this one trip?

Nightbeat: It won't be that bad!

Siren: We promise you'll love it!

Optimus: (Sighs as he facepalmed himself) Alright, plot a course for Dromadon.

Siren: (Smiles wide) WOO HOO! (Sits on his seat all excited) LET'S PARTY!

Siren's cheering can be heard throughout Space as the Xantium began to fly towards the Planet.

Meanwhile, in New Kaon, Galvatron woke up from Stasis to find himself in an empty room, as he looked around the area, he spotted a door, which opened automatically the second he walked to it, finding himself in a hallway that is empty.

Galvatron: (Looks around the hall) Hello? (His voice echoes) Hello? (No response as his voice echoes) Hmm, no one's here...

Galvatron just walked around the hall, until he spotted a room that had a table full of Energon and Oil in it, as the former Tyrant walked inside, looking around the area.

Galvatron: (Walks to the table) This table... Who-?

Before he could ask, Misary, or also known as Sari, walked past him without giving Galvatron any attention to him as she walked over to the table, using her Jetpack to get on top while he stared at her.

Galvatron: (Looks at Sari) You... Where is everyone? (She ignores him as she went to grab Energon) Do not stand there and ignore me, I demand to know why-?!

Before he could say anything else, however, she took off her Mask to reveal her face, as she went to pour Energon into a cup that's big enough for her to lift, and then began to drink it as Galvatron stared at her, looking at her in question of who she was until memories from past events began to unfold... Memories that started when she was just a little girl that was the Daughter of the man who had him inside of his own luxury tower for 50 years, to the Techno-Organic that was an ally for the Autobots, who was responsible for crushing his body to the point he couldn't even walk, and the memories of her interference on his Invasion of Detriot, making his Spark boil in anger when he recognized the seemingly normal Organic standing before him.

Galvatron: (Stares at Sari in anger) You! (Gets out his Sword) I remember you, you small, Techno-Organic insect-! (Moves to cut her, only for her to grab him by his own wrist) What?! (Gets flipped upside down, and down towards the ground) AGH!

Sari: (Glares at Galvatron as she got out a Red Wakizashi style Blade to hold up in the air) Raagh!

Fallen: (Steps out of the shadows with the rest of the Decepticons) Enough! (Sari turns to him) Misary, that is enough, we shall take it from here.

Sari: (Nodded as she deactivated her Weapons) Yes Father...

Fallen: (Turns to Nightbird) Nightbird, be a dear and escort your sister back to her Quarters.

Nightbird: (Nodded) Yes Father. (Leaves the room with Sari)

Galvatron: (Gets up as he stared at Sari until he turned back to the Fallen) What is she doing here?!

Fallen: She is our ally against the Autobots.

Galvatron: Last time I saw her, she was against us!

Fallen: Until the event at Trypiticon left her mind shattered in pieces, leaving her no memory of who she was, or who she was affiliated with, so if I were you, I'd keep it that way if you don't want her to kill you during your Recharge! (Folded his Servos) Now tell me what the hell you were doing on Earth?

Starscream: (Folded his Servos) I'll tell you what happened! Megatron, or Galvatron, was planning to seize the boy without your permission, and I, your most loyal servant, was about to stop him and his subordinates when-!

Fallen: (Gets agitated and threw a knife at Starscream) YAH!

Starscream: (Has a knife stabbed to the wall just inches away, right next to his head) AH! (Jumps out in fright)

Fallen: (Points at Starscream) Did I ask for your opinion Starscream?

Starscream: (Looks at the Fallen) Apparently not, my Liege.

Fallen: Didn't think so, now stand there and shut up! (Turns to Galvatron) Now, care to explain why you went after the Boy so carelessly?

Galvatron: I went after him because we were waiting for too long! The Autobots had already learned of the Allspark within him, and I saw the chance to take them from surprise!

Fallen: And all you did was put everything I had in motion at risk! Now not only do the Autobots have learned of the Human, but they also placed him on Cybertron for protection! Which means I had to hire a Bounty Hunter to deliver him to me, and to make things worse, they also have seen the face of Misary, which they recognized as the former Sari Sumdac, so that means I have to put our best weapon against them in the barracks until the time comes for our Reign!

Galvatron: Our Regin?! Who are you to judge me! You are not the leader of the Decepticons, I AM!

Fallen: (Widened his Optics in sarcasm) Oh are you now? (Grabs a drink of Oil) So, you don't think sacrificing all the Decepticons to pave the way for your New Cybertron Project, or injecting yourself in Energon that is tainted, even for the Processor to handle, or even allowing your own former 2nd in Command to get lucky and put a bomb right on your back in an effort to seize control of the Decepticons, is not poor leadership?

Galvatron: (Raises a brow) Where are you getting at?

Fallen: You damn well know exactly where I am getting at! (Walks to Galvatron) You see, I have been watching you for Millions of Stellar Cycles now, looking as you thought nothing, but the Power of the Allspark, and your personal revenge against the one that bested you in battle while you lazily let everyone in your command acted like children! None of the less underestimating a mere Autobot Spacebridge Repair Crew, five that grown into a force that ended with you inside of a burning pile of junk that was Trypiticon! (Throws his can away after he finished with it) Not to mention the mere fact that you had gone Offline by a mere Autobot who was smaller than your large size.

Galvatron: (Glares at the Fallen) How dare you! I took that Autobot with me when I had the chance! I never hesitated when the moment came that I would have the chance to kill Optimus Prime!

Fallen: And look at you, still acting like that was some act of redemption for your petty reputation, the Synthetic Energon splitting your Processor to the surface of your Protoform! (Walks closer to Galvatron) Your revenge against Optimus Prime drove your Spark mad with insanity! (Stands before Galvatron) You're unbalanced, physically and mentally, full of rage and careless to the point that you were bested by a mere Child, who never held the Power of the Allspark in his entire life! Your former name, your being Online is nothing, but a mere mockery of who you are! A complete, utter FAILURE!

Galvatron: (Starts getting angry, and activates his Cannon) RAGH! (Aims at the Fallen)

Fallen: (Grabs Galvatron's Servo to push it up in the air, making him shoot at the ceiling, and then throwing him down onto the ground) RAAGH!

Soon, all Decepticons loyal to the Fallen and Galvatron started to point their weapons at each other, ready to fight as the Fallen stood before Galvatron, lying on the ground as the former Tyrant got up on his feet.

Fallen: (Sighs) And here we go again! Back with the Civil War, I prevented in your absence. (Turns to Galvatron) In which you caused.

Galvatron: (Gets up, glaring at the Fallen) You don't deserve to be in the Throne! I had sat on it long after you, and I deserve my rightful place in it!

Starscream: (Raises his hand up) Can I say something?

Fallen and Galvatron: (Both turning to Starscream) NO!

Starscream: (Grips both his hands and placed them on his waist) Okay, then I'll just go back to being silent.

Fallen: (Glares at Galvatron, until he took a deep Intake) You know what? I think I have an idea to settle this dispute.

Galvatron: And your idea is?

Fallen: Does your disabled Processor remember the traditional Decepticon way of transitioning one's leadership to another?

Galvatron: Hmm... (Nodded as he rubbed his chin) The Duel for Dominance, I remember... That only happens when one Stellar Cycle reaches its end.

Fallen: And guess what? Today's the last day of its Stellar Cycle. (Gets out his Sword and stabbed it to the ground) So if you wish for a challenge for a Duel for Dominance, now is a very good time boy.

Galvatron: (Looks at the Fallen) Alright. (Gets out his Sword and stabs it to the ground) Challenge Accepted.

Back on Cybertron, Cade was inside a room where he was prepared to meet with the Autobots for questioning while Sari was still in New Kaon, just walking back to her room after being escorted by Nightbird.

Nightbird: (Looks at Sari) Now stay here in the room until Father says so, got it?

Sari: (Nodded as Nightbird turned to leave) Nightbird? Am I in trouble?

Nightbird: (Turns to Sari) If you were, you'd be talking to Father right now, would you?

Sari: (Nodded in agreement) Right, sorry I asked.

Nightbird: Just stay in here. (Leaves the room)

Sari sighed as she gone to her Berth when a small echoing sound was heard, while Cade back on Cybertron heard the sound as well, making them both turn to look around until they started facing each other.

Sari: (Sees Cade in front of her) You again?

Cade: (Widened his eyes when he sees Sari) Sari!

Sari: (Raises a brow) Why are you apologizing?

Cade: (Raises a brow) What? (Shook his head) No, I wasn't apologizing.

Sari: Then why did you say sorry for?

Cade: I-! (Closes his eyes as he's starting to get to get the connection here) Your name... (Opens his eyes) Is Sari, Sarianna Sumdac.

Sari: (Raises a brow) What? No, my name and Designation is Misary!

Cade: Is that what the Cons told you?! Sari, don't you remember me?

Sari: (Shakes her head) No.

Cade: Seriously? (Sees her shaking her head) Okay, what about Bumblebee? Ratchet, Bulkhead, Jazz, Arcee... (Pauses for a moment) Optimus... (Looks at Sari) Don't you remember anything?

Sari: (Looks at Cade) I... (Rubs her head) I don't... I can't remember anything of who I was...

Cade: (Stares at Sari) Tell me what exactly have the Decepticons told you?

Sari: (Sits down on her Berth) They told me... That the Fallen is my Father.

Cade: That's not true!

Sari: That he is not my adopted Father?

Cade: (Raises a brow) Okay, I guess he sort of is your step-dad.

Sari: Alright, well they also told me that I'm a Techno-Organic, half Cybertronian, half Human.

Cade: (Nodded) Okay, keep them coming.

Sari: And that the Autobots tried to kill me, causing my memory to shatter.

Cade: Okay, and you just helped me crack Two Truths and a Lie.

Sari: And which is the lie?

Cade: Sari, the Autobots are your friends! They have been your friends for years, they would never attempt to harm you at all!

Sari: That's not what my Father says!

Cade: Of course he would say stuff about that because he's been lying to you ever since you've lost your memory!

Sari: No! He would never do such a thing! And how dare you assume that the Autobots are my friends!

Cade: Alright, fine! Do you want proof? (Gets out his phone, selecting some pictures until he showed one of Sari and Bumblebee together) Here, see? Look at it!

Sari: (Looks at the photo, which shows her and Bumblebee taking a selfie) What? (Groans as she gets a headache) Ugh...

Flashback, Last Year...

Bumblebee: (Looks all happy) Wanna take a selfie, Sari?

Sari: (Nodded) Sure! (Takes a selfie with Bee) Smile! (Takes the picture)

Flashback ends.

Sari: (Groans as she turned to Cade) I don't understand! Why would I be taking a picture with the Autobot that shot me!

Cade: Because that Autobot is your friend Sari! And the one reason he shot at you was that he was trying to protect me!

Sari: Protect?

Cade: Yes, the Autobots protect others from threats, that's what they do! They're not into Intergalactic Domination, unlike the Decepticons!

Sari: My Father is not interested in Intergalactic Domination, he is interested in bringing balance and order in the Universe.

Cade: Which means a lot of chaos and destruction to do just that! Haven't you been with them long enough to know just how crazy they are? And don't say not one of them hasn't tried to kill you.

Sari: (Thought about Galvatron attempting to slice her in half) Few of them may try to go off balance, but the Fallen will sort them out.

Cade: (Rolls his eyes) Of course he will.

Sari: (Rubs her arm) But what did you call me earlier?

Cade: (Looks at Sari) Sari Sumdac.

Sari: Sari... (Touched her chin) Someone else called me that...

Cade: (Widened his eyes) Someone else did?

Sari: In my dreams... When I sleep. (Turns to Cade) And you said that there are things that my Father is not telling me?

Cade: (Nodded) Yes! Come back to us Sari, we can help you... I can help you...

Sari: (Looks at Cade) You would? Why?

Cade: Because you're my friend Sari.

Jazz: (Walks inside) Cade, you ready dawg?

Cade: (Turns to Jazz, turning back to Sari, who vanished as he now faced a wall) Yeah. (Turns to Jazz) Yeah, let's do this.

Sari was left facing the doorway Nightbird left in, as she laid against her Berth, thinking about what Cade had told her while he, on the other hand, was escorted by Jazz, both unaware that they were being watched by Lockdown, who was on another rooftop scoping out his latest Bounty.

Lockdown: (Looks at Cade through a Scope) So the big bad Fallen placed a Bounty on this Cade Yeager, who carries half the power of the Allspark in him. (Deactivates his Scope) Not sure if I wanna call it the best Bounty, or the weirdest one ever.

Tarantulas: (Hangs upside down while holding onto his web attached to a vent above them) When are we going to acquire the boy?

Lockdown: (Turns to Tarantulas) Hold it Webbot! We can't just go in there like a couple of hotheads, not when there's a ton of Autobots inside Fortress Maximus.

Tarantulas: (Turns to Lockdown) And that stops us why?

Lockdown: Because we'd be outnumbered before we can even get to the kid! (Turns to the building) And since that's the case, we need to find a more easy approach without causing too much of a ruckus that will get our attention.

Tarantulas: Fine. (Drops from the web, standing in front of the ground facing Lockdown) Then do you have any ideas how to do just that?

Lockdown: Yeah, something called a distraction. (Turns around) Follow me, I might have an idea.

Lockdown started to leave the rooftop with Tarantulas while Cade was brought to a chamber, with the Autobots consisting of Alpha Trion, Perceptor, Botanica, Cliffjumper, Bumblebee, Bulkhead, Arcee, Rodimus Prime, Ironhide, Red Alert, Dai Atlas, Wheeljack, and Ratchet being inside as Jazz escorted him in.

Cade: (Looks at everyone staring at him) I know I'm not in trouble, but I feel like my younger self again for being in trouble for stealing a pencil.

Jazz: (Walks next to Cade) Just keep it nice and easy Cade, they just wanna talk.

Cade: (Takes a deep breath as he walks to the Autobots) If you say so.

Alpha Trion: (Looks at Cade) Your name is Cade Yeager, is it not?

Cade: (Looks at Alpha Trion) Uh, yeah, that's my name.

Botanica: (Looks at Cade) Do you know who we are?

Cade: Well aside from Bumblebee, Ratchet, Arcee, Jazz, Rodimus, I have absolutely no clue about who you Bots are.

Cliffjumper: (Raises a brow) Wait, don't you even recognize me? I was on Earth last year!

Cade: (Turns to Cliffjumper) Well I do, it's just that there was a lot of Autobots last year, and it was kind of hard to keep count of who was who.

Red Alert: Well, you do have a point there.

Alpha Trion: (Looks at Cade) We are the Autobots that run the Cybertronian Council here on Cybertron. (Points at himself) My Designation is Alpha Trion, head of the Council. (Points out the rest of the Council) The others are Dai Atlas, head of the Cyber-Ninja Guild, Botanica, the head of the Plant Guild, and Perceptor, head of the Science Division Guild, whom I have no doubt you have met on Earth previously.

Cade: Oh? Well um... (Looks at Bumblebee, who nodded) Well, it's really nice to meet you all for the first time around.

Dai Atlas: (Looks at Cade) Do you know why you are here?

Cade: Ah, let me guess, I have half an Allspark inside of me? I already got the news when I was being chased down angry Decepticons, including the son of a Bitch that brought me and my friends a living hell, whom we thought to have blown up back in Trypiticon, so no explanation is needed.

Cliffjumper: (Raises a brow) No explanation at all?

Cade: (Rubs his arm) Well, I actually would like some answers... (Looks around at the Autobots) Like, do you guys have an idea how to get this out of me? Because I don't like the concept of being hunted down for the rest of my life to be a dream thing.

Perceptor: We are still working on a solution, however, it is possible to have the Allspark Cube to be brought in to push the energy back inside of it.

Cade: Okay, then let's do that! Easy peasy, then I'll be able to fly back home, right? (The Autobots start to give each other looks, in which he noticed) Right?

Alpha Trion: Mr. Yeager, as much as we want to help you, that wouldn't be as simple as you made it sound.

Cade: What's that supposed to mean?

Red Alert: From what we learned from Perceptor's reports, you and Sari Sumdac not only have a connection to the Allspark, but both of you share a very high bond with each other.

Wheeljack: The process of you placing the energy you have within only results in half of its power being restored.

Ratchet: And it's also possibly fatal, because of the Bond you share, it will only work if Sari is brought back here, and siphons out all the Allspark in her with you at the same time, therefore disabling the bond.

Cade: Okay, so what does that mean? Am I stuck with it now? How am I supposed to tell everyone else on Earth about that?

Cliffjumper: That's another thing, you won't need to do that, because you won't be able to go back to Earth.

Cade: (Raises a brow) Okay, what?!

Botanica: You may only carry half the Power of the Allspark, but it doesn't mean it isn't highly dangerous as it was in it's Prime.

Alpha Trion: Therefore, in the time being, you are to remain here on Cybertron until we can remove the bond inside you and Miss Sumdac safely.

Cade: (Scoffs) This is Bullshit!

Ratchet: Cade, it ain't that easy-!

Cade: No, let me rephrase what you just told me! (His Eyes start glowing an Allspark Blue, which gave everyone immediate notice) So, not only the Decepticons are after me, but I can't even go back home!

Bumblebee: (Walks to Cade slowly) Cade...

Cade: (Gets angry while his Eyes start glowing brighter) I can't go back to my family, to school, everything that I have known my entire life-!

Rodimus: (Walks with Bee) Cade, just calm down!

Cade: (His hands start to glow as his anger grows) And now I can't go back to any of that because I'm stuck with something I never even ASKED FOR!

Cade then knelt down and slammed his fist to the ground, unintentionally making the whole room to shake, with the lights flickering in static while everyone looked at Cade in shock, who just panted as he stared at the ground, looking at the crack lines he just made.

Jazz: (Stands next to Cade as he looks at him) Yo Cade, just calm down dawg.

Cade: (Pants as his hands and eyes stopped glowing, looking at the damage he caused) I... (Looks at the Autobots) I'm sorry! I... (Looks at his hands) I didn't mean to do that!

Perceptor: (Nodded) It is quite fine Cade, it's the Allspark affecting the nervous system of your body.

Red Alert: We believe that while it resides in you, it can ultimately affect your personality and your basic emotions.

Alpha Trion: Which is why we brought Dai Atlas in, so he can help you channel the Allspark inside you, therefore channeling your mind.

Botanica: It's the best that we could do for your predicament. (Clasps both her hands together) We apologize, but there wasn't much we could do to help.

Cade: (Sighs as he got up) If it helps me not turn everything I touch into rubble, then it's all good. (Looks around) When do we start?

Dai Atlas: We can start now if you like.

Cade: (Nodded) I'd like that.

Everyone started to gather in the corners of the room while Dai Atlas, Jazz, and Cade sat in the middle of the Chamber, being observed by everyone that stood on their Pedes.

Arcee: (Turns to Bumblebee) Where's your Grandfather? I thought he'd be here for this.

Bumblebee: He had to go Off-world for a while. (Turns to Arcee) Said it was classified, so it must be important.

Rodimus: (Turns to Red Alert) Hey, thanks for helping Cade out.

Red Alert: No problem. (Looks at Cade) I couldn't refuse to turn away help from someone that carries an Allspark inside in him.

Rodimus: Yeah. (Looks down)

Red Alert: (Noticed Rodimus' being depressed) You alright?

Rodimus: (Nodded) Yeah, I'm good.

Dai Atlas: (Sits in front of Cade) Now I learned that Jazz has been a good friend to you on your Homeworld, so I thought I'd include him during our session, is that alright?

Cade: (Nodded) Yeah, I'd like that.

Jazz: It's all good Cade, just let us know when you're ready.

Cade: Well, I have nothing to do today, so let's get started.

Dai Atlas: Alright then, now close your Optic Sensors.

Cade: Okay. (Closes his eyes)

Dai Atlas: Now breath. (Cade breathes slowly, in and out) Now... Reach out. (Cade starts to slowly move his hand up, reaching out)

Jazz: (Sees Cade moving his hand up) He meant to reach out with your mind Cade.

Cade: (Drops his hand down) Oh, sorry! I'll try again.

Dai Atlas: Alright, now breath. (Cade starts to repeat the order) Calm your central Processor and your Protoform, look beyond this room, see what the Allspark sees... (Sees Cade nodding) Now... Reach out.

Cade opened his eyes again, only this time, he finds himself in an Energon Farmland, a yard filled with Energon trees as he got up, looking around the surrounding area.

Cade: (Looks around) Guys? Where are you?

Jazz: (Sits next to Cade and Dai as he watched him with his eyes closed) You're still here back in the Chamber with us dude.

Cade: How? I'm at a field, with trees that have Pink glowing stuff growing on them!

Arcee: (Widened her Optics) Is he referring to the Energon Farmlands?

Ratchet: That sounds just about it.

Dai Atlas: Cade, I need to you to calm yourself, it is not just your view, but the Allspark's as well. You're tapped into its point of view, looking around the surroundings of Cybertron without even moving your own body.

Cade: So I'm having a clear mental image right now? (Sighs) Yeah, this can't get any weirder.

Jazz: Can you try to look somewhere else? Try to relocate yourself.

Cade: (Looks around the field) Okay... (Mentally closes his eyes, then opens them back up to see that he's in Iacon filled with Bots partying) Okay, now I'm back in the city, and everyone's having a grand time here.

Dai Atlas: The people in the city, what are they doing?

Cade: (Looks around, watching as Wheelie was setting off a firework) Just setting off fireworks. (Sees a screen that says "Happy New Stellar Cycle") And there's a sign saying, "Happy New Stellar Cycle". (Raises a brow) Wait, you didn't say you guys celebrated New Year's.

Dai Atlas: Alright, now try looking beyond Cybertron.

Cade: Are you sure I can even do that?

Dai Atlas: Just try your best to add detail.

Cade: Okay. (Closes his eyes mentally) I see... (Sees an image of a sun) A sun... (Sees an image of a Planet that has Alien fish swimming around on the beach) A beach, with fishes that are really huge. (Sees an image of an egg hatching, with a large bird looking over its babies) And now there's an egg hatching, with the mother being there for her babies.

Dai Atlas: And why would you be seeing those things happening?

Cade: I don't know, what do you think?

Dai Atlas: The Allspark may be a tool for destruction, but its uses are not always that way, as the Universe is a very big place, and the one thing that fills the hole in the space is...

Cade: Life... (Sees an image of a Nublouan Tiger and Lion together with their Cub)

Dai Atlas: Yes, the life that fills the air on Cybertron, as well as the air of Earth, is the same to many Planets around the Galaxy. (Points out at Cade) Life is what the Allspark brings forth, from its Energy-!

Cade: (Started to blink when he suddenly found himself in another room) There's something else... (Looks around) It's dark, and man, it's really cold in here.

Jazz: Cold? Where are you now?

Cade: I don't know, somewhere inside a room... (Noticed a Berth with a cloth on it) Wait, I see something. (Walks to it)

Dai Atlas: (Raises a brow) What is it that you see?

Cade: A table, with a cloth covering it.

Ironhide: (Raises a brow) What kind of room is he in?

Cade mentally walked to the front of the Berth, which held something on as the cloth covered it, as he took it off, he stood back to reveal an Offline Waspinator inside the Berth, Gray and lifeless as he was when Shockwave had once stabbed him with his own Claws.

Cade: (Steps back in shock as he looked at Waspinator) Holy Shit!

Jazz: Cade, what is it? What's wrong?

Cade: Wasp! (Looks at Waspinator) I see Wasp on the table.

Bumblebee: (Widened his Optics) Wasp?!

Bulkhead: But I thought he went Offline!

Cade: Wait.. (Walks closer to Waspinator) He still is... (Moves to touch Wasp by the Helm) I think it's okay... (Suddenly, the second he touches Waspinator, his Colors start changing back to Green, as his Spark was suddenly lit up from his Chestplate) Okay, something's happening!

Jazz: Cade, what is it?

Cade: (Backs away from the Berth) I don't know, I just touched Wasp, and suddenly, he just turned from Gray to Green in an instant!

Alpha Trion: (Widened his Optics) Dai Atlas, end the session immediately!

Dai Atlas: (Turns to Cade) Cade, open your eyes, open them back up!

Jazz: (Places a hand on Cade's back, shaking him) Cade, get out of there! Cade!

Cade stood there in the mental vision as he saw Waspinator's Optics glow Purple for the first time since his death, before he blinked, opening his eyes back to reality as he gasped, panting while he laid on Jazz's palm while everyone stared at him in shock.

Rodimus: (Runs to Cade) Cade! (Kneels down before him) You alright?

Cade: (Pants as he nodded) Yeah, I'm fine.

Ironhide: (Looks at Cade walking up to him) Cade, what did you mean when you saw Wasp?!

Bumblebee: (Turns to Alpha Trion) More importantly, why did he see Wasp?

Alpha Trion: (Looks at Bumblebee, noticing his expression) Bumblebee, please understand-!

Bumblebee: Alpha Trion, what did Cade saw back there?!

Perceptor: He saw the lab that the Predacon Waspinator was in.

Bulkhead: (Raises a brow) Why was Wasp inside a lab?

Wheeljack: After his death, Waspinator was brought in to Fortress Maximus where Perceptor and I were assigned to use him for study. (Everyone looks at him) Well, don't look at me! It was all Ultra Magnus' idea!

Ironhide: (Widened his Optics) Ultra Magnus started this?!

Bumblebee: (Groans) First my Father kept secrets from me, and now my own Grandfather is keeping secrets from me?!

Alpha Trion: Bumblebee, do not get upset with him! I was the one that granted him permission to do so, but right now we all need to get to the lower levels and check on the body!

Ironhide: Why so we could kill Wasp again?!

Rodimus: Ironhide, calm down!

Bumblebee: This is something that shouldn't have been kept from us! I for one should have known!

Alpha Trion: Your Grandfather deemed the information classified!

Bumblebee: Classified?! I'm part of the Elite Guard, I should be authorized to learn this information!

Jazz: Whoa, everyone just ease it down for a Nano Click! (Everyone turns to him) Now I get that Wasp is a huge topic for everybody, but we need to make sure he also ain't going to be a problem again! (Turns to Cade) Now Cade, are you sure that when you touched Wasp, his Paintjob was turned from Offline Gray to his original Paintjob.

Cade: Yes... (Rubs his head) No... (Looks at everyone) Look, I was just looking at what the Allspark was seeing, right? I wasn't even really inside the room with him, so for all I know is that I didn't even really touch him anyway!

Red Alert: I like to think that, but with the Allspark, any kinds of possibilities could happen at any moment!

Warpath: (Calls from the Monitor) This is Autobot Warpath to any Autobot Personnel, this is an emergency!

Bumblebee: Warpath? (Takes the call) What's the problem?

Meanwhile, from the outside, Lockdown and Tarantulas were seen in the front of Fortress Maximus as they went to plan out how to get inside.

Lockdown: (Looks at the Fortress) Okay, so I'm thinking that we should set off some charges at the door, making everyone to come out while we sneak in through the ventilation system, then find the kid, stun him, grab him, then fly out of the Planet to deliver for the Decepticons.

Tarantulas: Hmm, I suppose that will suffice. (Turns to Lockdown) Did you bring the charges?

Lockdown: (Gets out a pair of bombs with him) Never leave home without 'em. (Turns to the front door) Alright, now let's-! (Hears some commotion going on) Hey, do you hear that?

Tarantulas: Hear what?

Before Lockdown could continue the conversation, a blast blew open the door from the inside, making the two Cons to go hide in cover while the figure responsible for making an entrance was the now resurrected Waspinator, who looked extremely lost and out of his mind as he looked around, growling in a scared tone.

Waspinator: (Pants as he looks around the area) Where is Wasp? (Grabs his head) Ugh, why is Wasp's head hurt so much?! (Looks up and sees the city of Iacon) Wasp needs help!

Warpath: (Turns to Wasp) Stop right there! (Shoots at Waspinator)

Waspinator: (Gets shot by the shoulder) AHH! (Flies away in panic towards Iacon)

Warpath: (Activates his Comlink) I'm going to need every available Autobot to in Iacon for an escaped... (Watches Waspinator leaving) Whatever that thing is!

Lockdown: (Raises a brow as he turned to Tarantulas) Is he with you?

Tarantulas: (Turns to Lockdown) Do I even look like I know him?

Lockdown: (Turns to Waspinator) Well, whatever he is, he just did the job for us...

---

Later, Waspinator was seen on various footage of him attacking parts of Iacon as the Autobots intercepted a transmission from one of the Autobots fighting him.

Springer: (Is seen in the transmission with Hot Shot and Brawn) We're going to need some assistance! This Waspinator is hard to take down!

Hot Shot: (Is seen in the background) Whoa, Springer! Look out!

Springer: (Turns around to see an Energon tanker being thrown at him) AH-! (Transmission ends when tanker hits)

Cade: (Blows some air as he sat on top of a desk) Okay, this is bad.

Wheeljack: (Rubs his Helm) Looks like the New Stellar Cycle's ruined.

Ironhide: (Turns to the Wheeljack, Perceptor, and Alpha Trion) Well, I'm pretty sure none of that would have happened if you didn't put Wasp inside of a lab!

Perceptor: (Turns to Ironhide) We apologize Ironhide, we only did what we thought could help benefit in future projects.

Ironhide: Well this project is now starting to attack Iacon! Wasp deserved to be among those in the Well, not this!

Bumblebee: Look, like Jazz said, there's no time to get angry right now! We need to get to Wasp before he does any more damage!

Alpha Trion: And what do you suggest Bumblebee?

Bumblebee: Send me, Bulkhead, and Ironhide in! We know Wasp well in the past, so maybe he'll listen to us!

Bulkhead: And Ultra Magnus isn't here right now, so I guess you guys are in charge now.

Alpha Trion: (Looks at the three) Alright, head over to Iacon and apprehend Waspinator before more Bots get hurt.

Bumblebee: (Nodded) Got it! (Turns to Ironhide and Bulkhead) Alright, let's Roll Out! (Transforms into Alt Mode with the two and left Fortress Maximus)

Alpha Trion: (Turns to Perceptor) Perceptor, how many are out there right now?

Perceptor: Almost 90% of Autobot Personnel are out there, with us, Jazz, Wheeljack, Rodimus Prime, and Red Alert still inside Fortress Maximus.

Alpha Trion: Well as long as the Fortress is kept under observation, and the Autobots dealing with Waspinator, everything is alright.

Jazz: (Turns to Alpha Trion) What do you want us to do sir?

Alpha Trion: (Turns to Jazz) Take young Yeager back to the quarters he was in, I think it's time to let his mind rest.

Cade: (Nodded) Whatever you say.

Jazz: (Picks Cade up) Come on dude, let's go.

Cade: (Stands on Jazz's shoulder while Jazz walked) Man, I screwed up badly.

Jazz: Well it ain't your fault man, nobody could've known things would go sideways, and the fact Wasp was is some lab instead of being placed with all the other lost Sparks is kind their fault, to begin with.

Cade: (Sighs) I don't know man, but with everyone having this much of a trouble, I feel like the Decepticons are having just a grand time right now...

---

Speaking of the Decepticons, every single one of them gathered in the New Kaon Gladitorial Arena, making it very loud as the Cons shouted their excitement for the match between the Fallen and the now resurrected Galvatron, as posters of them were plastered on the Arena walls, even Lugnut was holding up a sign reading, "GO LORD MEGATRON!" up in the air without giving a crap who he accidentally swung and hit someone with it.

Lugnut: (Holds up sign) In the name of your glory, claim your rightful place in the Throne! HAIL LORD MEGATRON!

Rumble: (Turns to Lugnut with a brow) Wait, I thought it was Galvatron now.

Lugnut: (Angrily turns to Rumble) SILENCE FOOL! I'm trying to make a statement here!

Swindle: (Walks up and down the stairs offering bet placing) Place your bets right here, fellow Cons! Place your bets on who's gonna win! Galvatron, or the Fallen, make it quick because I have to go start the match soon after I submit all the Credits to my Processor! (Rubs his Helm) Oh, which reminds me, has anybody seen my stapler?

Wingblade: (Stands in the Arena halls, looking over the seated crowds) All this excitement, just for two Mechs to fight each other to the death?

Starscream: (Walks to Wingblade) Well, you have to admit, that feels pretty exciting!

Wingblade: (Turns to Starscream) For you? Anything involving Galvatron getting Slagged always excites you.

Starscream: (Stands next to her) Well, as much as I deeply despise that good for nothing, Hunk of Junk, I actually place my bets on him today! Because now he has the chance to get rid of that annoying Fallen! And then once he's rid of, I'll have the opportunity to Scrap Galvatron from existence, and then claim back my seat of the Throne where it rightfully belongs.

Wingblade: (Raises a brow) You actually want Galvatron to win?

Starscream: (Turns to Wingblade) Why? Nervous about your daddy lately?

Wingblade: The Fallen? No, my Credits are on Galvatron.

Starscream: (Raises a brow) Oh, so now you support deathmatches?

Wingblade: Let's get one thing clear, I am no supporter of this game, but if this is the possible chance to get rid of the Fallen, then I'm all up for ridding that twisted psychopath, after all the torture he put me through, and the pain I had to endure because I couldn't keep him satisfied!

Starscream: (Looks at Wingblade in shock) Wow, you really hate the Mech. (Rubs his chin) That sounds a lot like me hating Megatron, only in a different circumstance.

Wingblade: Don't push your luck.

Swindle: (Walks to the center of the Arena, grabbing a microphone) Alright, Mechs and Femmes! It's time for the main event to begin! But first, let me introduce you to the contestants! (One of the Arena doors is opening) You know him as the big, the bad, and brutal of all Decepticons! He also claims himself as a freedom fighter! Others call him the master of all Cons! And most importantly, he's been brought back from the Pit! (The figure begins to walk out of the door) Ladies and gentlemen, I give you... (Galvatron walks out of the door, with lights flashing over him) GALVATROOOOON!

Lugnut: (Crowd goes wild while he got up) YES! Bring forth our rightful leader! The true heir to the Decepticons!

Galvatron Fan Crowd: (Chants his name) GALVATRON! GALVATRON! GALVATRON! GALVATRON!

Swindle: (Smiles as he raises his hands in the air) Alright, this is it! (Rubs his hands together excitedly) Let's get ready to welcome this Bot, here he comes! (The second Arena door is opening) Now, what can you say about this Bot? Well, some say he's Legend, others say he's supposed to be dead! (Fires is seen in the shadow of the door) But I guess he packs enough heat in his Spark that neither the Well nor the Pit could even hold him because he's too hot to even touch! And boy, those Autobots better be careful when running into this Bot! (The figure on fire starts to walk out of the door) Because he gives them the run for their Circuits! Fellow Decepticons, I give you... (The Fallen walks out of the door, with lights flashing over him) THE FALLEEEEEN!

The crowd begins to go into a mixture of chants and boos at the Fallen, as both fighters began walking up towards the center, meeting each other face to face while Swindle walked in between them.

Swindle: (Turns to Galvatron and the Fallen) Okay, now as much as everyone wants to see these two beat each other senseless, I have to, unfortunately, list out the rules that are in tradition. (The crowd groans in annoyance) Now there are only two basic rules in this event; One, no firearms or Transforming in the Arena, and to make sure that is in effect... (Opens his Chestplate like it was a cash register) I'll need you both to hand over any Blasters, Cannons, whatever shoots Lasers or Missiles, and your Cogs of course.

Galvatron: (Disconnects his Cannon from his Servo and hands it over to Swindle while glaring at the Fallen) I don't need my Cannon to kill you, old man...

Fallen: (Hands over his Blaster to Swindle) Oh believe me... (Disconnects his Cog, and hands it over to Swindle) You'll find me much harder to kill...

Swindle: Alright, save it for when you start killing each other. (Places both Cogs into his Chest Compartment) Now for number two... (Gets out the Cons' melee weapons) Both competitors are at no right to forfeit the Duel for Dominance unless one decides to spare his opponent at the end of the match. (Shrugs) I mean, it's a deathmatch, so personally, I'd find that disappointing, but if you wanna live a little longer, then hey, one of you better hope you're really lucky.

Galvatron: I don't believe in luck.

Fallen: I feel the same.

Swindle: Eh, whatever floats your boat. (His podium is flying up in the air while Galvatron and the Fallen were seen standing on circular disks, flying away from each other until they each stood on their fighting spots across the Arena) Okay, everybody, it's the main event time! (Crowd gets louder as he said the words) Let the fight, BEGIN!

Fireworks were shot out into the sky as the crowd screamed out simultaneously, cheering as the fight began, with the two walking over to each other slowly, with both Blades at hand.

Galvatron: (Walks over to the Fallen with his Swords) I shall claim what is mine in the first place!

Fallen: (Walks over to Galvatron with his Sword) If it helps, I'll let you go first, see how well you fight.

Galvatron: (Tightens his grip on his Swords) With pleasure!

And thus, the fight begins with Galvatron moving forward onto the Fallen, swinging his Swords at him, who blocked his attacks as the crowd shouted their cries of enjoyment, Galvatron continuing to press the offensive as he moved to clash blades with his rival, he kneed him by the stomach, and then thrown him down to the ground, entertaining the audience as the Fallen got up on his feet.

Fallen: (Pants as he rubbed his stomach) That wasn't bad, pushing the offense, making me lose my footing.

Galvatron: (Circles around the Fallen) I told you I didn't need my Cannon to kill you.

Fallen: (Gets up) And I told you before, I wanted to see how well you fight up close, and I have...

Galvatron: (Sprints towards the Fallen) RAGH! (Swung his Sword downward, only to have his wrist caught by the Fallen as he was being stopped swinging his Sword down on his enemy) GAH! (Struggles to move his hand out as he looks at the Fallen)

Fallen: (Looks at Galvatron) Which means playtime's over now. (Headbutts Galvatron)

Galvatron: (Gets headbutted by the Fallen) GUAH!

Galvatron stumbled back after getting headbutted by the Fallen, who took one of his Swords to break it in half, dropping the broken pieces to the ground as the crowd goes loud for the action.

Swindle: (Folded his Servos) Oh come on guys, now I'll have to fix that!

Wingblade: (Looks at the Fallen, widening her Optics) Uh oh.

Starscream: (Turns to Wingblade) What, what is it?

Wingblade: The Fallen was only toying with him.

Starscream: So, that means what exactly?

Wingblade: The fight's really going to get started...

Lugnut: (Roars with the crowd) Show him who you are Lord Megatron!

Galvatron: (Glares at the Fallen, until he moved to swing his other Sword at him) RAAAGH!

Galvatron moved to cut his enemy, only for the Fallen to move out of the way like a game of toro, as he turned back to the Fallen, he made another move towards him, only for the opponent to make an excellent defensive tactic, with him clashing Blades with each other at every turn, the battle epic on a proportion that made the crowd more and more interested.

Fallen: (Clashes his Blade with Galvatron) Come on, you can do much better than that!

Galvatron: (Clashes his Blade with the Fallen) Hold still!

Fallen: (Ducks as Galvatron's Sword moved to cut his head) You fight with anger... (Punches Galvatron by the throat)

Galvatron: (Gets punched by the throat) GUK! (Coughs as he held his throat, stumbling backward)

Fallen: (Swung his Sword around in the air) You move towards your enemy with impulse and intent...

Galvatron: (Turns to swing his Sword at the Fallen) RAH!

Fallen: (Clashes Blades with Galvatron) But the one thing you lack is not underestimating your enemy more clearly. (Moves to cut Galvatron by the shoulder)

Galvatron: (Cuts cut by the shoulder) AHHH! (Grips his shoulder)

Fallen: (Circles Galvatron) You attack blindly because you only think about dominance while your enemy has the upper hand.

Galvatron: (Moves his Servo to try hitting the Fallen) RAH!

Fallen: (Dodges the swing of Galvatron's Sword) Autobots may be small, but they do have an open mind.

Galvatron: (Gets up and moves to swing at the Fallen more) RAAGH! (Gets his wrist caught, and held up in the air) UGH!

Fallen: (Moves to hold Galvatron's Servo in the air) And that is when you allow them to gain the upper hand, causing your forces to fall while they succeed to victory! (Makes Galvatron drop his Sword, grabbing to cut his leg)

Galvatron: (Gets injured on his Pede) AGAH! (Falls on his knees as he panted, looking up at the Fallen)

Fallen: (Points his now Flaming Sword at Galvatron's Faceplate) And that, is why you fail...

The crowd now started to chant the Fallen's name, as he was seen to be the victor of the match while Galvatron was on his knees, changing everyone's opinion about the match as they cheered for the Fallen.

Crowd: (Chants) FALLEN! FALLEN! FALLEN! FALLEN!

Lugnut: (Looks around the Decepticons chanting the Fallen's name) What are you doing?! This is heresy!

Rumble: Glitch, shut up! The Fallen's winning!

Starscream: (Widened his Optics as Galvatron was on his knees) All those Stellar Cycles I tried to Slag Megatron, and the Fallen gets to do it?!

Galvatron: (Growls lowly as he stared at the Fallen) What are you waiting for? You've won... (Lowers his head) Finish me...

Fallen: (Looks at Galvatron) I may have won the match... (Stabs both his and Galvatron's Swords to the ground) But I still have a use for you... (Turns to the Crowd) I have chosen to spare my opponent!

Swindle: (Raises a brow) Wait, seriously? (Looks around) Okay, I guess we're done now. (Gets on the podium, and moves forward towards the Fallen) Alright, Mechs and Femmes! I hereby announce the victor, and now official new Lord of the Decepticons... (Raises the Fallen's Servo up like a champ) THE FALLLLEEEEN!

The crowd roared in applause, all but those loyal to Galvatron cheering for the Fallen, as Lugnut sadly dropped his Megatron sign to the ground, while the victor remained victorious to his official role in the Decepticon Empire...

---

Back on Cybertron, the Iaconian locals were inside of a nightclub, with Blaster being the DJ as he played Bangarang by Skrillex, while everyone enjoyed the song until Hot Shot was thrown inside, breaking the window glass as it took everyone by surprise.

Blaster: (Widened his Optics while he left the song playing) Whoa! (Looks at Hot Shot) You alright dude?

Hot Shot: (Groans as he got up) Everybody, clear out of the building!

Jackpot: (Raises a brow) Why? What's all the-? (Turns to the broken window, only to see Waspinator getting inside the club, making him widen his Visor) HOLY SCRAP METAL! Hubcap, look!

Hubcap: (Sees Waspinator and widened his Optics while dropping his drink) AH! Organic! There's an Organic in the room!

Waspinator: (Looks around at the Autobots in the club when he starts hearing voices) Ahh! (Gets ahold of his head as voices are heard in his Processor) Why is everyone talking?! Leave Wasp alone! (Shoots his Stingers all over the place)

Tracks: (Ducks down as Waspinator was shooting) Someone, get that thing out of here!

Hot Shot: (Gets up and moves towards Waspinator) Hey, stop shooting!

Waspinator: (Looks at Hubcap, starting to get a flashback of Bumblebee back in the Autobot Boot Camp) Bumblebot?! (Turns towards Hubcap) What is Bumblebot doing here?

Hot Shot: Oh no you don't! (Jumps on a table and kicks Waspinator in the face)

Waspinator: (Gets kick in the face by Hot Shot) OW! (Stumbles backward, turning to Hot Shot) Stop hurting Wasp! (Shoots at Hot Shot)

Hot Shot: (Gets shot by Waspinator) WHOA! (Gets grabbed by Waspinator and flies into the ceiling window) AHH! (Both leave as they shatter the ceiling window)

Blaster: (Looks around as he turned to a microphone) Okay folks, I think we're about done here for tonight.

While Waspinator took Hot Shot out of the nightclub, the street they were on was in a chaotic mess, with property damage set all over, and fires brewing from windows of several buildings as Hot Shot was thrown onto the ground while the Predacon flew above him.

Hot Shot: (Gets up and turns to Waspinator) I was hoping I wasn't gonna use this, but you left me no choice here! (Activates his Flamethrowers and shoots them at Waspinator)

Waspinator: (Barely dodges the shot as a fire hit him by the wing) OW! (Puts the fire out of his wing, until he stared at it, looking surprised that he has wings) Wasp has wings? Wait, since when could Wasp-? (Looks at his hands) Oh Scrap! What's going on with Wasp?! (Gets hit by a thrown pipe) OW!

Brawn: (Walks to Waspinator) Come on, Ugly! Show me what you got!

Waspinator: (Growls as he glared at Brawn) Will every Bot stop hurting Wasp?! (Grabs Hot Shot)

Hot Shot: (Gets grabbed by Waspinator) Whoa! (Gets thrown towards Brawn) AHHHH!

Brawn: (Widened his Optics as Hot Shot was being thrown at him) Hang on kiddo! I got ya! (Jumps to catch Hot Shot, only when he did, he was pushed from the velocity at which Hot Shot was being thrown as they both fell to the ground hard) AHH!

Springer: (Turns to Waspinator, as he Activated his Sword) We do not wish to harm you, friend! We only wish to speak!

Waspinator: (Turns to Springer) Then why is everyone trying to hurt Wasp?! (Grabs a street sign and throws it at Springer) RAH!

Springer: (Widened his Optics when he saw the sign being thrown at him, and then moved to slice it in half) YAH! (Springs up from the ground and drops to the ground towards Wasp to jump attack)

Waspinator: (Sees Springer in the air and uses his Stinger to shoot at him) RAH!

Springer: (Gets shot by Waspinator in the air) AHH! (Falls to the ground next to Brawn and Hot Shot) OOF!

Waspinator: (Sees Springer, Brawn and Hot Shot down as he turned around, looking around the street) Why is no Bot helping Wasp?! (Hears more voices as flashbacks start popping into his head) Ahh! Why is Wasp's Processor hurting?!

Bumblebee, Bulkhead, and Ironhide arrived on the scene as Waspinator was seen moving around, clutching his head in pain as they Transformed back to Robot Mode, standing next to Springer, Brawn, and Hot Shot.

Bulkhead: (Looks at Waspinator, surprised to see him) Oh man, it really is Wasp!

Springer: (Turns to see Bumblebee, Bulkhead, and Ironhide) Ah, it seems reinforcements arrived.

Bumblebee: (Sees Springer) Springer, what's Wasp up to right now?

Brawn: Right now? (Turns to look at Waspinator) Doing a lot of damage, that's what!

Hot Shot: And he sounds like he has no idea that he's a Predacon!

Ironhide: Wasp's been Offline for a good Stellar Cycle now. (Turns to look at him) He might be lost, having no idea what happened, or where he was the last Solar Cycle.

Bumblebee: (Turns to the three) Alright, Bulkhead, Ironhide, and I will handle this, the rest of you can go see if anyone was hurt, get them to the Cybertron Infirmary!

Springer: (Nodded) Understood! (Leaves with Brawn and Hot Shot) Good luck!

Bumblebee: (Turns to Ironhide and Bulkhead) Alright, any ideas?

Ironhide: I should go talk to him, he'll wanna see me.

Bulkhead: You sure about that? Wasp wasn't such a friend during most of our time on Earth.

Ironhide: Yeah, but he was my friend most of the time I was in Boot Camp, I can try talking some sense into him.

Bumblebee: (Nodded) Okay, but be careful!

Ironhide: I'm bulletproof, I can handle about anything! (Turns to walk towards Waspinator) Wasp! Is that you?

Waspinator: (Stops where he is, and turns to Ironhide, widening his Optics) Ironbot?

Ironhide: Yeah... (Walks slowly to him) Yeah, it's me, pal!

Waspinator: (Looks around) What's going on? First Wasp was in Boot Camp, in a wheel looking in front of Sargebot, then Wasp finds Wasp in a lab! And now everybot's trying to hurt Wasp!

Ironhide: (Keeps on walking) Wasp, what do you mean you were looking in front of Sargebot?

Waspinator: (Has a flashback of him being framed) Wasp was getting arrested! Placed in Autobot Stockade when Wasp woke inside Fortress Maximus! (Looks at his hands) And then find Wasp turned into a freak!

Bulkhead: (Rubs his Helm) Uh, Bumblebee? I don't think Wasp remembers how he got turned into a Predacon!

Bumblebee: Neither does he remember how he got Slagged by Shockwave!

Waspinator: (Turns to Ironhide) Ironbot has to help Wasp! Wasp feels so lost right now! (Rubs his head as voices continue to flow in his Processor) And Wasp has voices inside Wasp's head! Wasp doesn't know where voices coming from!

Ironhide: Hey, look, buddy, it's all going to be alright! (Moves closer to Waspinator) Just come with me, I'll explain everything-!

Waspinator: (Looks at Ironhide, until the Orange Bot moved closer to him, he saw Bumblebee from the distance) Bumblebot?

Flashback, in the Autobot Boot Camp...

Bumblebee: (Sees a poster of Ultra Magnus, smiling) I am so Elite Guard material!

Wasp: Ha! In your dreams, Sub-Compact!

Sentinel: (Is seen impressed by Wasp's skill) Welcome to the Platoon, Wasp!

Wasp: (In a training simulation with Ironhide as they looked at Bumblebee covered in Pink Paint) HAHA! Bot, you really are a Bumbler!

Bumblebee: (Picks Wasp up after "Longarm" tripped him) Let me help you up there, Wasp.

Wasp: (Shakes Bumblebee off his back) Keep your Servos off of me, Gear Grinder!

Sentinel: (Walks over to Bumblebee standing over Wasp's open locker) What are you doing over Cadet Wasp's locker?

Bumblebee: (Points out a Decepticon communicator) Exposing a Decepticon Spy, sir.

Wasp: (Is carried in a stroller by Cliffjumper) But I'm innocent, I'm telling you! You're making a big mistake, all of you!

Sentinel: (Rips Wasp's Autobot Insignia off his Chestplate) Mute it, Traitor!

Wasp: (Turns angrily towards Bumblebee) I'll get you Bumblebee! If it's the last thing I'll ever do! (Echoes as the memories come to an end)

Flashback ends.

Waspinator: (Growls while glaring at Bumblebee) BUMBLEBOOOOOOOT! (Flies in the air)

Ironhide: (Turns to Bumblebee, before turning to Waspinator) Wasp, no! (Gets pushed out of the way) Ugh! (Falls to the ground)

Bulkhead: (Widened his Optics as Waspinator flies towards them) Uh oh!

Bumblebee: (Looks at Waspinator flying towards him as he activated his Sabers) Here we go...

Waspinator shouted his roar as he fired his Stingers at Bumblebee, who jumped up to begin the fight while back in Fortress Maximus, Cade was standing in the balcony, looking at the view of Iacon while Jazz was his room, keeping him company while footage of Waspinator and Bumblebee was seen on the footage of Cybernews.

Jazz: (Watches the live footage of Bumblebee fighting against Waspinator) Looks like BB is having a rough reunion with Wasp right now.

Cade: (Looks over Iacon while standing in the balcony) Yeah, no thanks to me.

Jazz: (Turns to Cade) Oh come on, it ain't your fault this is happening!

Cade: I know. (Turns to walk back inside) I'm just depressed right now.

Jazz: (Sees Cade sitting next to the seat made for him) You ain't liking it here on Cybertron?

Cade: No, don't get me wrong! (Turns to Jazz) Cybertron has everything I would imagine, I just... (Turns to look down at the floor) I'm thinking about home...

Jazz: Like Earth home?

Cade: (Nods) Yeah.

Jazz: Well hey, don't be stressing too much, we'll get you back home-!

Cade: And what if I don't? (Looks at Jazz) Jazz, Earth has been my home for all of my life, and ever since I have had half an Allspark inside me, I have been losing my mind, writing weird symbols on walls, or a scrap piece of paper, and do things I could never do before. (Looks around) And knowing that whenever I get angry, I turn into a living weapon that could possibly bury this whole place to the ground without even remotely trying, and I could never see my family again until it's out of me, I just feel like my life is ruined in every proportion I never thought would happen.

Jazz: (Looks at Cade) Well, we're being honest here, I think I can understand where you're going through.

Cade: (Turns to Jazz) You do?

Jazz: Yeah... (Looks at Iacon) Back in the War, I used to live in a City called Tagan Heights.

Cade: Nobody seemed to say anything about that.

Jazz: That's because it ain't something you would call home, because back when I was living there, the whole city was covered in debris and wreckage from the Great War, even sometimes, there'd be fighting going on while I was tryin' to have a nice Recharge.

Cade: Wait a minute... You lived in a war zone?

Jazz: I was actually Protoformed in it before it even turned into a war zone, to begin with. (Folded his Servos) I mean, I never really had the chance to know my Creators because they fought and gone Offline at the beginning of the War, while Tagan was left to ruin.

Cade: So, you lived in a place full of wreckage and debris all by yourself?

Jazz: Well, not really, there were others like me that lost their Creators that lived in Tagan Heights. (Leaned against his chair) And for a good few hundred Stellar Cycles, we all lived together in this one building where only half of it collapsed while the bottom half was steady, but we had been living there together for a good while now, till one day, a Bot came.

Cade: A Bot came? (Gets out of the chair and walks to Jazz) Who?

Jazz: You could say that that Bot was the reason I'm a Cyberninja to this day.

Cade: (Placed a hand on one of Jazz's Pedes) Must have been one cool Bot to-! (Sees his hand glowing) Oh god, Jazz!

Jazz: (Sees Cade's hand glowing on his Pede) Whoa, Cade, just keep cool! Just-! (Freezes) Uh!

Cade: (Looks up at Jazz) Jazz?! (Sees nothing, but white forming in his vision) Oh god!

Flashback, about 4 Million Stellar Cycles ago...

Cade blinked his eyes to find himself in a wartorn Cybertronian city, with flames developed in some of the destroyed buildings, and some collapsed a while ago as the young human looked around.

Cade: (Looks around the city) Jazz?! (Gets no reply) JAZZ! (Gets no reply as he looked around the ruined city) Oh man, how did I get here?!

Rapier: (In a distance) Come on Jazz, can't you get this to work or not?

Cade: (Heard Jazz's name as he turned to the voice) Jazz? (Runs over to the source) Jazz, are you over there?!

Jazz: (Is seen working on some kind of ATM) Cool your Torque Rapier, I got this all covered!

Cade: (Sees Jazz with three other Autobots) Jazz! (Walks over to him) Jazz, where are we?!

Ransack: Come on Mech, the Bot I owe Credits to might put a Bounty on me if you don't hurry!

Jazz: Trust me, I've done this a lot...

Crumplezone: (Folded his Servos) Are you even sure there are any more Credits in that thing?

Jazz: We'll have to wait and find out...

Cade: Credits? (Looks at Jazz, who was seen to be hacking into an ATM) Jazz, what are you doing?

Jazz: (Hacks into the ATM) Alright, just a few more Nano Clicks, and then we are loaded with Credits!

Cade: (Walks to Jazz) Dude, you're an Elite Guard! Why would you be robbing-? (Moves to touch Jazz, only for his hand to phase through it without physical touch) What the?

Jazz: (Gets it done, and Credits are rolling out of the ATM) And we have our scheduled Deca-Cycle paycheck!

Rapier: (Sees Credits coming out) Oh, Jazz! You rock!

Ransack: (Moves to place Credits inside his Chestplate) You saved my Aft just now, you know that?

Crumplezone: Heh, what did I tell ya Ransack? Jazz is the best Bot in Tagan Heights!

Cade: Tagan Heights? (Looks around at the city) Oh god... (Turns back to Jazz) I'm in a memory...

Jazz: (Places some Credits inside of his Subspace) Hey, there's enough of this to carry back home!

Ransack: Wait till I call the others!

Rapier: Well, good luck, because I've been trying to contact them, but they haven't been responding.

Crumplezone: Oh, maybe we should look around to see if we can find a Tool Shop to fix your Communications Array!

Rapier: (Scoffs) Man, you don't know what you're talking about! I'm all good!

Ransack: Are you sure?

Rapier: Yeah, because if I had Cosmic Rust in me right now, I'd still be kicking and Functional!

Crumplezone: Whoa, that's actually not something you should try.

Ransack: Yeah, you could go Offline from that stuff.

Rapier: Me? Offline from Cosmic Rust? Pfft, as if that will ever happen!

Jazz: (Tries to make contact, but has no response) Hey, Rap has a point there, I can't get into contact with anybody in this frequency.

Ransack: Wait, really?

Crumplezone: (Tries to activate Comms, but he strangely couldn't) That's strange, neither can I...

Jazz: (Turns to the others) Maybe we should head back, get ourselves Scanned, see if there's anything up in our systems.

Rapier: Yeah, I'm just getting bored out here any-! (Sees a Decepticon flying in the sky) Oh, Scrap! Guys, there's a Decepticon!

Ransack: (Widened his Optics) What?! Where?!

Rapier: Up in the sky!

Jazz: (Sees the Decepticon) Oh Slag, I see him!

Crumplezone: Well, what are we waiting for? Let's get out of here!

Ransack: (Sees the Decepticon now circling the area) Oh Slag, he's making a circle! He must know we're here!

Rapier: Guys, we should do something quick, or we're all gonna get Slagged in the next five Nano Clicks!

Jazz: (Looks around) Everybody, hide!

Crumplezone: Are you nuts?!

Jazz: (Runs into an alleyway) Got any better ideas?

Ransack: (Finds a pillar and crotches behind it) Oh, Frag it!

Cade watched as everyone began to hide, with the Decepticon that arrived turned out to be Blackout, as he Transformed into his Robot Mode and looked around for any signs of life out in the open.

Blackout: (Looks around) Slag, I thought I saw Autobots out here...

Megatron: (Calls Blackout) Blackout, what is your status?

Blackout: I'm on the way back to base Lord Megatron. (Searches for any Autobots) I'm just making sure no puny Autobots have seen me, leave no thought that we have a base here.

Megatron: Make it quick, time's running shortly after our previous, talented Decepticon, Deadlock had defected to the Autobot tyranny. (Ends call)

Blackout: (Walks around) Alright, any Autobots wanna play? (Walks around the area, passing by Jazz) Come out, come out wherever you are...

Ransack: (Continues to hide behind the pillar) Guys, I am freaking out right now!

Jazz: Just keep it cool Sacks, it's all good as long as we don't attract his attention.

Ransack: But what if he doesn't leave? What are we supposed to-? (Moves his Pede to accidentally hit a can) Ah!

Blackout: (Heard Ransack making a noise) Hmm? (Turns to the pillar that Ransack is hiding in) Oh? (Walks to the pillar) Did I hear something moving?

Ransack: (Gasps as he hears Blackout coming closer) Oh Scrap! Somebody help me out, or else I'm Slagged!

Crumplezone: Guys, we gotta do something!

Rapier: No way, we'd all get Slagged if we gave ourselves out!

Ransack: (Hears Blackout getting closer) Guys, please do something!

Blackout: (Walks closer to the pillar) Am I getting warmer now?

Jazz: (Peeks out of his hiding spot, looking at Blackout as he walked to the pillar) Oh, Slag it! (Gets out of his hiding spot, grabs a rock and throws it at Blackout) Hey ugly!

Blackout: (Gets hit by a rock) Hmm? (Turns around, seeing Jazz)

Jazz: You want a piece of this? (Transforms into his Alt Mode) Come and get it! (Drives away)

Blackout: (Chuckles) Finally! (Flies after Jazz)

Ransack: (Gets out of his hiding spot, watching as Jazz gets chased by Blackout) Jazz, what are you doing?!

Crumplezone: (Gets out of his hiding spot) Jazz, run!

Rapier: Oh, he's gonna get Scrapped!

Cade: (Runs after Jazz) Jazz! (Runs into the tire smoke, only to find himself in another area) What the? (Looks around) Where am I now?!

Jazz: (Drives away from Blackout) Come on, you gotta do better if you wanna catch me, slowpoke!

Blackout: (Flies after Jazz) I already have something in mind, Autobot! (Jumps down to the ground, activating his Mod)

Jazz: (Gets hit by the Blackout wave, getting his Cog turned off as he was forced to Transform back into Robot Mode) UGH! (Falls to the ground several times) Oh... (Tries to Transform, but he couldn't) Hey, what did you do to me, dude?!

Blackout: Its Blackout, you miserable Autobot, and I turned off your Cog... (Raises his foot up) Just so you can hold still!

?: (From a distance) Get away from the Youngling.

Blackout stopped what he was doing, and turned around, only to see Master Yoketron standing a few feet away from him as Blackout put his Pede down.

Blackout: (Looks at the Cyberninja) What are you going to do about it?

Yoketron: I shall be forced to disarm you if you deem it necessary for me to do so...

Blackout: HA! (Walks over to Yoketron) I like to see you try! (Tries to stomp on Yoketron, only for him to jump on his Pede) Huh?!

Yoketron then moves to run on Blackout, getting out his two Katana style Blades and then making very quick cutting, and then once he dropped to the ground, Blackout's Servos began to fall down, after getting sliced off by the skilled Cyber Ninja warrior.

Blackout: (Sees his Servos cut clean off) AHHH! (Runs away) Get away from me!

Yoketron: (Watches as Blackout made his leave while turning to Jazz) Are you alright, Young Bot? (Extends his hand to Jazz)

Jazz: (Looks at Yoketron's hand and reached up for it) Yeah... (Gets up with Yoketron's help) Thanks a lot dude, you just saved my Exhaust Port! How did you do that?

Yoketron: By the ways of the Cyberninja...

Jazz: Cyberninja? (Folds his Servos) Huh, that sounds awfully dope.

Yoketron: What were you doing out here? This is a battleground, you should not be out here.

Jazz: No offense Ninjabot, but this battleground is where I live in, along with a bunch of other Bots.

Yoketron: Really? You do not have a home to go back?

Jazz: Well, we did, until they all got messed up badly from the War.

Yoketron: Hmm... (Folds his Servos) This sounds very disturbing, I'll have to make contact with Ultra Magnus and the High Council, make an evac for any Younglings in this Sector.

Jazz: Whoa, you don't wanna do that! Everybody will freak out, especially if they don't know what's going on.

Yoketron: Then perhaps you can assist in the operation? It would help me immensely if they listened to one of their own.

Jazz: I can sure try, but I ain't too sure everybody's gonna be willing on this.

Yoketron: Come on, don't you believe it's best living in someplace comfortable rather than someplace filled with violence?

Jazz: (Looks around the ruined city) Well, somewhere else is way better than here... (Turns to Yoketron) Okay, when do we start?

Yoketron: (Turns to leave) Follow me...

Cade watched as the younger Jazz went to follow Yoketron until a shade of white began to fill the air again...

Flashback ends...

Cade gasped, letting go of Jazz while he too gasped for air, both of them coughing after what had happened between the two.

Jazz: (Coughs as he looked at Cade) You alright Cade?

Cade: (Coughed as he looked at Jazz) Yeah... (Nodded) Yeah, I'm fine... (Looks at his hands) What the hell just happened?!

Jazz: (Rubs his Helm as he pointed at Cade) I... I saw you... You were in my Processor somehow.

Cade: Wait, you actually saw me?

Jazz: In my memories, when I met Master Yoketron at Tagan Heights...

Cade: So that was real? You looting some ATM, and the Con chasing after you, that all happened?

Jazz: (Takes a big Intake) Yeah, like Millions of Stellar Cycles ago.

Cade: Okay, first the Symbols, then the Powers, now this? Man, this shit's getting weirder!

Rodimus: (Comms Jazz) Hey Jazz, are you there?

Jazz: (Answers the call) Yeah Hot Rod, what's up?

Rodimus: I think there's something you should check out, meet me in the halls.

Jazz: Copy that. (Ends the call) I gotta go. (Turns to leave)

Cade: (Looks at Jazz) Jazz, I didn't mean to do that!

Jazz: (Turns to Cade) Hey, it's all good! I was just telling you about Yoketron anyways...

Jazz left the room to meet up with Rodimus Prime, as he walked over to the Prime, he saw Purple Webbing in the ceilings, with a trail leading to the rooftop.

Rodimus: (Looks at the webbing) Was this Waspinator's?

Jazz: Nah, I don't think Wasp's capable of shooting webs.

Rodimus: Well, if it isn't Wasp's, then we might have unwanted company...

Tarantulas: (Pops out of a vent) You got that right! (Shoots at Rodimus with his Webs)

Rodimus: (Gets caught in a Web) AHH! (Falls to the ground)

Jazz: (Turns to Tarantulas) Whoa, you're new!

Tarantulas: (Hisses at Jazz) I have for the boy!

Jazz: Yeah? (Activates his Nun-Chucks) Well, you can't have him!

Tarantulas: (Growls) So be it!

The fight began with Jazz and Tarantulas while Cade was still in his room, hearing banging noises from across the hall, unaware of the presence of Lockdown climbing into the balcony.

Cade: (Walks over to the door) What is going on in there? (Moves to open it, only for a device to come attached to it, and activated a forcefield around it) Whoa!

Lockdown: (Climbs up the balcony and walks over to Cade) Nothing that you should be worried about, kid.

Cade: (Turns around and sees Lockdown) Lockdown?! What the hell are you doing here?!

Lockdown: The Fallen hired me to collect your bounty, so you're coming with me!

Cade: Like hell I am! (His hands start glowing, and then he shot Allspark lasers at Lockdown)

Lockdown: (Ducks down, avoiding the blast as he turned to look at the hole in the wall) Wow. (Turns to Cade) They weren't lying about you having half an Allspark inside you.

Cade: And half as deadly, so if I were you, I'd stay right where you are.

Lockdown: And if I were the Cons, I'd pay me double for this job! (Gets out a net and throws it at Cade)

Cade: (Gets his legs caught in a net) AH! (Falls to the ground)

Lockdown: (Picks Cade up from the ground) Come on kid, this will a lot easier on both of us if you just stopped squirming!

Cade: (Bangs on Lockdown) Let go of me! Let go-! (Sees his hand glowing again) Oh, not again!

Lockdown: (Raises a brow) What? What are you-?! (Gets frozen on the spot) UGH!

Flashback, through a series of memories...

Lockdown was seen in Yoketron's Dojo, seeming as the highest of his fellow Ninjabots, as well as a worthy Cyberninja himself, as he was seen bowing loyally to Yoketron.

Lockdown: (Bows before Yoketron) Master Yoketron, to what I owe the pleasure to?

Yoketron: It is good to see you old friend. (Sees Lockdown getting up) But I have been hearing troubling rumors.

Lockdown: (Raises a brow) What kinds of rumors Master?

Yoketron: Springer and Jazz have reported to me that you have been using Modifications as a habit in the last few Deca-Cycles, is that true?

Lockdown: Master, with all due respect, why does that matter if I do?

Yoketron: Because I want you to look me in the Optic Sensor, and tell me you are not becoming addictive to the Modifications.

Lockdown: (Raises a brow) Master, please! As if I would call it an addiction!

Yoketron: Then what exactly would you call it?

Lockdown: I think the term I'd call would be... Trophies.

Yoketron: Lockdown, we are Cyberninjas, we do not believe in prizes.

Lockdown: But Master, can't we earn just a little in battle? After all, it's your teaching that is all about earning.

Yoketron: Earning, yes, but earning happiness, not things that we use in battle.

Lockdown: Yeah, but think about it! With enough Mods, we could use this to take down the Cons easily! Then and there without any trouble!

Yoketron: Lockdown, I am sorry, but I cannot condone this activity without the risk of corrupting fellow Autobots in battle.

Lockdown: So what are you trying to say?!

Yoketron: I'm saying that I will have no choice, but to exile you from this Dojo effective immediately.

Lockdown: (Widened his Optics) What?! Master, you can't be serious!

Yoketron: I am sorry, but I'm afraid you have been corrupted by the series of Modifications that you have become dependent on them.

Lockdown: You son of a Glitch! I put my entire life on this Dojo! And now you're going to kick me out for just a few Modifications?!

Yoketron: Lockdown, I advise you begin to leave... (Opens the Dojo doors) Now.

Lockdown: (Glares at Yoketron) Oh, you're going to regret this! (Walks away) Because I'm going to come back here, and when I do, I won't hesitate to Slag you back to the Well of Allsparks!

Lockdown then proceeded to leave the Dojo grounds, ending his membership as a Cyberninja for good...

Flashback ends.

Lockdown gasped as he dropped Cade to the ground, shocked as Cade was free, he went to free his legs from the net tying him while the Bounty Hunter for the first time in his career became scared straight.

Lockdown: (Pants as he stared at Cade) You... You were in my Processor!

Cade: (Groans as he got up) Well, I did tell you to stay where you were! (Shoots at Lockdown with the Allspark Blast)

Lockdown: (Gets blasted by Cade) AHH!

Tarantulas: (Fights against Jazz until Lockdown was seen bursting through the wall and thrown against him) AGH! (Fell to the ground)

Jazz: (Sees Tarantulas getting knocked out by Lockdown) Whoa! (Sees Cade walking through the hole in the wall) You alright dude?

Cade: (Sighs as he gave a thumbs up) Peachy.

Rodimus: (Cuts his way out of the web and gets up) Where did these two come from?

Jazz: I ain't sure, but at least they're out of the way right now.

Wheeljack: (Walks out to see the mess) Spark, what happened?

Jazz: (Turns to Wheeljack) Just a couple of party crashers, nothing wrong at all.

Rodimus: You may wanna call TransTech, and get Depth Charge put these two in the Stockades.

Wheeljack: Excellent idea, but I think you should head over to Bumblebee's position immediately!

Jazz: Oh, so the situation with Wasp's that bad huh?

Wheeljack: Well, from what I have seen on the Net, Waspinator believes that Bumblebee still betrayed him, but the problem is that he can't seem to retain his past memories from before.

Cade: So he's having memory issues?

Rodimus: Can't he be able to remember?

Wheeljack: Maybe in a few Deca-Cycles, but I think that will be long before he rids of his "Enemies" first.

Jazz: So there's nothing we can do?

Wheeljack: None that I can think of...

Cade: (Rubs his arm, before turning to the others) Actually, I think I can help...

---

Later, Jazz and Rodimus took Cade to Iacon, right in the middle of the fight between Waspinator and Bumblebee, Ironhide, and Bulkhead, who were all having a tough fight among the former Platoonmates.

Bumblebee: (Grunts as he raised Waspinator's hands up) We're friends Wasp! Try to remember!

Waspinator: (Growls at Bumblebee) Wasp remembers enough about Bumblebot to know Bumblebot, not Wasp's friend! (Throws Bumblebee away)

Bumblebee: (Gets thrown in the air) AHHH!

Bulkhead: (Uses his Wrecking Ball to swing at Waspinator) YAH!

Waspinator: (Flies up in the air and shoots at Bulkhead) RAH!

Bulkhead: (Gets shot by Waspinator) AGH! (Falls to the ground)

Waspinator: (Tries to shoot both Bumblebee and Bulkhead) RAAAH!

Ironhide: (Turns Bulletproof and shielded Bumblebee and Bulkhead from Waspinator's attacks) Ugh! (Walks slowly towards Waspinator) Wasp, enough! They ain't here to hurt you!

Waspinator: (Shoots at Ironhide continuously) Bumblebot and Bulkbot did that when they had Wasp and Ironbot put through Sargebot's punishments! Don't Ironbot remember that?!

Ironhide: (Grunted as he felt the waves of Waspinator's Stingers hitting him) Now that you've mentioned it, Transformups are the least of our worries right now!

Cade: (Gets out of Jazz) Looks like we missed the New Stellar Cycle afterparty.

Bulkhead: (Gets up, noticing Rodimus, Jazz, and Cade) Guys? What are you doing here?

Jazz: We came because Cade says that he could help Wasp out with his memories!

Bumblebee: What? No, that's too dangerous! (Turns to Cade) You don't know-!

Cade: Bee, trust me! I've just experienced two memories of different Bots, and I think I can figure Wasp's mind out completely!

Bumblebee: Memories? What do you mean?

Rodimus: Cade said that he could see through memories of any Cybertronian with just a single touch!

Jazz: And if you want proof, ask me! I saw him going through my memories like a vacuum cleaner!

Cade: I can do this! I can put Wasp's memories back together, just give me a chance!

Bumblebee: (Looks at Waspinator, who continues to shoot at Ironhide) I can't believe I'm actually saying this! (Turns to Cade) Get in!

Cade: (Nodded as he walked to Wasp) Ironhide, I got this, stand back!

Ironhide: (Noticed Cade) Cade?! What are you doing here?

Cade: Just trust me! I can handle Wasp!

Ironhide: Well, I hope you seriously know what you're doing! (Gets out of Waspinator's target range)

Waspinator: (Sees Ironhide leaving his sight) Where's Ironbot going?!

Cade: (Tries to get Waspinator's attention) HEY! Over here!

Waspinator: (Turns to Cade, raising a brow) What kind of lifeform is carbon-based Organic?

Cade: (Walks slowly to Waspinator) Hey, you have some trouble remembering things, right?

Waspinator: Wasp... (Rubs his Helm) Wasp confused... (Sees memories of him getting turned into a Predacon) Wasp sees Wasp turned into a bug... (Sees Blackarachnia) Then Wasp sees Spiderbot in Wasp's Processor... (Grabs his head) Wasp's head hurts!

Cade: I know... (Walks over to Wasp, standing right in front of him) That's why I'm here, so I can help.

Waspinator: (Turns to Cade) Organic... Help Wasp? (Leans his head in front of Cade) Can Organic help Wasp?

Cade: (Nodded) Yeah... (Placed both his hands on the sides of Waspinator's Helm) Just stay right where you are... (His hands start glowing)

Waspinator: (Sees Cade's hands start to glow, then felt frozen) Ah!

Cade: Hey, take it easy, it's all good... (His vision begins to go white) It's all good...

Soon, they both began to see memories of before... Memories of Waspinator attacking at the Homecoming Dance, reuniting with Ironhide, only to attack him and Bumblebee at once, then of him being with the Autobots as they fought against Shockwave and Bludgeon, and finally, memories of him, sacrificing his life for the Bot that changed his life for the bitter...

Series of Flashbacks.

Bumblebee: You would go so far to go back and hurt Wasp again!

Shockwave: I even once considered to offer some of you a place in the Decepticons...

Ironhide: YOU SON OF A GLITCH!

Waspinator: Longbot no friend of Wasp! Longbot framed Wasp!

Shockwave: I'll make sure to let your Father know you died a quick death.

Waspinator: (Gets impaled by Shockwave) Bumblebot, move out of Longbot's way!

Bulkhead: Hey, Wasp, help's on the way...

Bumblebee: Oh Slag, Wasp!

Waspinator: Waspinator... Forgive... (Goes Offline) Bumblebot...

Flashback ends.

Waspinator: (Gasps) Ahh! (His hands fell down while panting)

Bumblebee: (Walks slowly to Waspinator) Wasp?

Waspinator: (Gets up, turning to Bumblebee) Bumblebot... Forgiven.

Bulkhead: (Gives a sigh of relief) Finally.

Ironhide: I guess we don't need to keep on fighting anymore...

Later, everyone regrouped at the Metroplex as Ultra Magnus was seen in the monitors contacted while Waspinator was seen in another view, being transported by Ironhide to the Spacebridge Nexus.

Ultra Magnus: (Looks at Bumblebee) So you mean to tell me that not only you let the child loose on Cybertron, you let him use the Allspark powers on Waspinator? That could have been disastrous!

Bumblebee: Sir, with all due respect, did you not think it was not disastrous to keep my fellow Autobots and myself in the dark by keeping Waspinator in a lab inside Fortress Maximus?

Ultra Magnus: (Rubs his Helm) Well, I suppose you make a good counter-argument Bumblebee. (Folded his Servos) But in the meantime, I'll be making my way back to Cybertron to assess the damage, and I like to thank you for taking care of the situation personally when I get back. Magnus out. (Signs off)

Bulkhead: Huh... That went well than I expected.

Bumblebee: Wait till we meet again because there's a lot I like to get off my mind!

Jazz: Well, don't take it too hard man, at least Wasp's okay.

Bumblebee: But he had no right to keep the truth from me!

Cade: Yeah, but you can't really hate him for that... (Folded his arms) I mean, I guess what happened before gave us a chance to bring back someone we lost.

Bumblebee: Yeah... (Turns to Cade) And by the way, thank you for helping Wasp out, I really appreciated that.

Bulkhead: Yeah, and when could you see memories by touching someone?

Cade: Yeah, that one just came out of nowhere, but I think this might help us out.

Bumblebee: Why do you think so?

Cade: Well... (Rubs his arms) From our last encounter with Sari, she didn't seem to... Remember who I was, nor anybody else for that matter.

Jazz: So you're saying the Cons are using her?

Cade: Maybe, but if it's amnesia we're dealing with, and the way I restored Wasp's memories, I think this could be how we get Sari back!

Bulkhead: You really think so?

Cade: Worked with Wasp.

Bumblebee: Cade, that would be great!

Cade: Yeah, just as great as I have to go back to my room in Fortress Maximus, again...

Jazz: Actually, I had some connections back there, and I transferred you to Bumblebee's Apartment in Iacon, where you might feel comfier there.

Cade: Wait, so I get to live with Bumblebee now?

Bumblebee: If that's what you want.

Cade: (Smiles) Hell yeah, that's what I want! Let's go!

Bulkhead: (Transformed into his Alt Mode) Get in Cade!

Elita One: (Walks in and sees Bumblebee) Bee?

Bumblebee: (Turns around and sees Elita) Mom? (Turns to the others) Hey, I'll catch up! (Turns to Elita) Mom, how are you doing?

Elita One: Fine. (Walks to Bumblebee) I heard about Wasp, I couldn't believe he was back.

Bumblebee: Yeah, but luckily, he remembered what happened, and right now, Ironhide is sending him back to Earth to live with the Dinobots.

Elita One: Dinobot Island huh? That place gave me memories.

Bumblebee: Yeah, you can say that... (Folded his Servos)

Elita One: (Looks at Bumblebee) Bumblebee, you okay?

Bumblebee: Uh, yeah, I'm just thinking... (Looks at Elita) You heard about Sari Sumdac, right?

Elita One: I work with Perceptor and Wheeljack now, so I hear about everything.

Bumblebee: Do you... (Turns to the window, looking out into the sky) Do you think there's a chance that... That Dad has survived?

Elita One: (Raises a brow) What makes you say that?

Bumblebee: Well, Sari's back, Wasp's back, maybe we could-!

Elita One: (Places her hands on Bumblebee's shoulders) Bumblebee, I know you want to be hopeful, but your Father went Offline in Trypiticon, and his body was never found in Space, I have come to accept that... You should too.

Bumblebee: (Lowers his Helm, nodding) If he was here... Do you think he'd be proud of what we've become?

Elita One: (Hugs him) Honestly, he could not have been prouder...

Back in the Planet Dromadon, Optimus was seen on a balcony, looking at the skies while everyone partied inside, with Sentinel walking to Optimus.

Sentinel: (Walks over to Optimus) Optimus, what are you doing out here? Aren't you gonna have fun?

Optimus: I went to check to see if there were any communications back to Cybertron. (Turns to Sentinel) There wasn't any, was there?

Sentinel: (Rubs his Helm) Well, Siren did have a good idea about this Planet...

Optimus: (Smirked as he shook his head) It's fine. (Turns to the skies) Besides, this made me realize we're not in any hurry at all at this time.

Sentinel: Seriously?

Optimus: We might miss a Solar Cycle on schedule, but we're going to be back either way.

Sentinel: Okay, well we'll be inside if you wanna hang out. (Walks back inside)

Optimus: (Stares into the stars) I'll be home soon... I promise...

Optimus continued to stare at the stars as the New Stellar Cycle Clock went 12:00, making the New Stellar Cycle as everyone cheered the end of the last one...

---

Back in New Kaon, Galvatron was seen standing next to the Fallen, as his new 2nd in Command as they looked at the stars in the void of Space.

Fallen: (Looks at the galaxy) Look at all these stars... Soon, we'll be able to conquer them all when we are ready. (Turns to Galvatron) As long as I have your full cooperation, correct?

Galvatron: (Nodded) Yes...

Fallen: Yes what?

Galvatron: (Lower his brow) Yes-!

Fallen: No. (Tilts Galvatron's head up facing him) Look at me while you say it.

Galvatron: (Looks at the Fallen) Yes... My Lord...

Fallen: (Smirks) Slow, but you'll get the hang of it. (Turns to the window) Now leave me...

Galvatron turned to leave, his hands tightening into a fist while Soundwave came to the Fallen.

Fallen: (Notices Soundwave, but doesn't look at him) Soundwave, if you have anything to report, do it because I have business to attend to.

Soundwave: I have a status report on Decepticon Misary.

Fallen: (Turns to Soundwave) And what about Misary?

Soundwave: Misary is not currently in New Kaon.

Fallen: Then where is she?

---

On Earth, Sari is seen standing on a highway, looking at the streets of Detroit while the snow fell from the night sky, people walking around celebrating the New Year's while she turned to fly down into a parking lot, looking directly at a building.

This building she is staring at is one in particular familiarity, had it not been burned in the fire by the Decepticons during the Invasion of Detriot, as she walked inside, the Autobot symbol laid covered in dirt, as well as everything else inside, burnt of anything that remained of the former Autobot base known as the Plant.

As she explored the building that used to be filled with life, she noticed a room with a tree grown inside of it... The tree has been burned from the explosion, but that does not mean it stops it from standing still, as she walked to the tree, moving her left hand to place her palm at the surface of the tree, rubbing it to feel the wood in her hand, while having another voice in her head.

Voice: (In Sari's mind) Stillness... (Sari turned around, looking for anyone behind her) Then strike... (Echos)

Sari looked around the room, before turning to the tree, moving the lay against it, feeling the familiarity around it as she went to sleep on it...

---

The next day, Cade, Bumblebee, and Bulkhead woke up in the apartment, as it was filled with a mess as they laid fireworks all over the place.

Cade: (Groans as he got out of bed) You guys have cooler New Year's parties than Earth.

Bumblebee: (Groans as he got up out of his Berth) Don't mention it.

Bulkhead: (Turns to Cade and Bumblebee) Hey, I'll go ahead and take everything out to the Recycling, you guys need anything?

Cade: Uh, yeah, triple cheeseburger with no mayo, please.

Bumblebee: And Rust Sticks, save me some Rust Sticks!

Bulkhead: (Nodded) You bet. (Turns to leave with the trash)

Cade: (Looks around the place, when he felt a Spark beat) Whoa...

Bumblebee: (Turns to Cade) Cade, what is it?

Cade: (Hears the Spark beating, as a hand rubbed the table) Someone's here.

Bumblebee: (Activates his Stinger) Who? Decepticons?!

Cade: I don't know, it's small!

Bumblebee: Stay behind me!

Bumblebee moved to get out of his room to move into the living room, his Stingers out and ready when he turned to the dining table, he widened his Optics, as he and Cade saw a familiar Redhead, wearing a Peach outfit, with similar ponytails as the girl turned to the two, giving them her best smile she could muster.

Sari: (Smiles at Bumblebee and Cade) Hi guys...

Hey, sorry I'm late! I meant to post this last Weekend, but it turns out I made one of those chapters that are long, due to the long dialogues I crafted.

Also, I like to note that I have a Dentist Appointment on Thursday to have all four of my wisdom teeth removed, so from I was told, I'm going to be feeling quite sleepy, and quite dizzy, so that's going to be a lot of fun for me.

I may, or may not be able to work on the next two Episodes after my wisdom teeth removal, because they're both a two-parter, but I'll try to work on them before my appointement on Thursday.

And for those wondering when Optimus Prime will come back, I will give out one obvious spoiler that he will come back to the rest of the Autobots during the two part episode, and that's all I'm going to say, because the rest about the two part Episode story is full spoilers, and it will take the fun out of everything.

And as always, leave a Review down at the bottom let me know your thoughts about this, and please stay tuned for more Transformers Animated!

PEACE!
