While the autobots plan, the decepticons are making some plans of their own...

Who wants to see how Professor Sumdac is doing with the decepticons so far?

Blitzwing couldn't recharge at all last night. The noises he heard haunted his processor. Not even reading the laughable propaganda the autobots write in datapads could sooth his spark. Now it's morning and Blitzwing decided to have his breakfast with the only other person that wasn't currently driven by lust. The same human that imprisoned Megatron, Issac Sumdac. He really must be crazy.

"I don't care what you monsters do to me! I refuse to do anything for you! I will not help you hurt the autobots or humanity!" The Professor claimed defiantly.

Blitzwing smirked coldly at this despite his tiredness. "What makes you think we will do anything to you?"

The anger in the human's eyes turned to confusion. "Huh?"

"Megtron told us all about how deeply you care about your favorite creation. The human sparkling. So instead of hurting you, if you refuse to assist us..." Blitzwing took a drink from his energon cube, then changed to a grinning, hotheaded face. "WE'LL CRUSH HER!"

The triple-changer crushed the empty cube in his hands to make his point.

The father gasped in horror. "No you can't! She's just a little girl! She has nothing to do with this!"

Blitzwing switched again, his shadowy face cackling demonically. "HA! Well then, you shouldn't have taken and used Megatron like that!"

"I didn't know! I didn't know he was alive! I thought he was just a machine!"

"Well in that case, your daughter is just a lump of meat that I will happily step on and-"

"WAIT!...I...I...I'll do whatever you want...just please don't hurt Sari..."

"That's the spirit!"

"...Wha-What does Megatron want me to do?"

"I don't know, probably something traumatizing! Hehehe!"

A few hours later, Megatron and Orion finally finished their entire earth week… reunion and demanded everyone else to wrap up their own fun, much to Blitzwing's secret relief.

Shockwave switched to his true form and showed everyone his newest invention at the meeting room.

"It's a synthetic energon that can increase your speed, strength and power. I call It dark energon. Unfortunately, it also increases a user's anger and using to much of it can make one lose control of their processor, so Strika is only giving small doses to some of the army. It also can increase the power of machines. I don't have any on me right now, but I have the formula for it, so you can create your own my Lords. But please use it wisely once you create it." Shockwave shows a hologram within a datapad for the sinister liquid.

Megatron smiled in approval as held a purring and satisfied Orion in his lap. "Interesting invention, Shockwave. We'll certainly find a use for it while on Earth… well done."

Orion nodded. "I agree and if you perfect the formula this might be your greatest invention yet."

Shockwave nodded at the praise but then blinked at what Megatron said. "You're… not gonna leave now, sir?"

Megatron chuckled, but it was a dark chuckle to match the sadisim in his eyes." Oh yes. You see my loyal Shockwave, Ultra Magnus is here on Earth and he may know we're here now but he has no idea where we are. This is the perfect opportunity to end the life of the council's puppet and I can have my revenge against Sen… Sen… Orion, what was the name of that blue prime?"

Orion rolled his eyes. "Who cares."

Megatron laughs and Orion quickly joins in, they both share a giggly kiss. "That spunky sass of yours is one of the many reasons I love you, Orion Pax."

Shockwave snapped his fingers, which jolted Megatron and Orion to break eye contact before they could get lost in each other's eyes again.

"Does this mean I get to stay or do we eventually have make it look I aka 'Longarm' escaped the 'pathetic' decepticons?"

Orion hummed. "It depends on if we ever need 'Longarm' again, but until then you may do whatever you wish on the nemesis… except for interfacing with your sparkmate, only because Blitzwing needs to be able to recharge properly."

Everyone at the meeting table turned to a snoring, drooling Blitzwing laying his head and arms on the table. His long tongue lolling out of his grinning, shadowy face. Lugnut looked at his best friend in guilt and began to rub Blitzwing's back. Feeling guilty as well, Breakdown rubbed Blitzwing's back too. The triple-changer retract his tongue and replaced his snoring with happy purrs.

"I shall bring Blitzwing back to his room." Lugnut told his glorious leaders in a rarely-used soft voice, not wanting to his purring companion up. He picked up the sleeping Blitzwing, who clung to Lugnut and nuzzled the cyclops' head. Lugnut nuzzled back playfully, despite knowing the mech he's holding is unconscious. As Lugnut walked out of the room, Knockout raised his hand.

"Yes, Knockout?" Orion questioned.

"I know you want to destroy Sentinel and Ultra Magnus, but what about Blackara-"

"She must be destroyed as well."

Knockout blinked at this, not too horrified but kinda shocked. "Are you sure you want to-"

"Yes."

"With all do respect Lord Orion, Blackarachnia has done many things for the decepticons… and she was also your friend… doesn't that matter?"

"...No...Not anymore...She probably only helped the cause for selfish reasons anyway, just like Lockdown and Swindle...She's one of the autobots now and all autobots must pay for their crimes… She must pay..."

Shockwave looked at the red medic. "Why are you trying to defend her? She prevented you and Breakdown from kidnapping Sentinel and claiming your reward."

Knockout shrugged. "Well, I kinda knew her back when both were at the academy. She was smart, skilled and a pretty nice girl, but a bit snobbish and arrogant sometimes. She didn't do anything bad to me as Elita or Blackarachnia, so thinking about her going offline doesn't satisfy me in the same way Sentinel's deactivation does. And she's very good at what she does so ending her life seems like such a waste… unless we harvest her processor, but it might be part organic now and it would decay in a matter of time."

"Actually, I learned a fellow scientist created a solution quite a while ago that can keep dead organic matter from decaying." Shockwave responded.

Knockout paused. "Oh, okay. Problem solved then."

"Orion: Approves of this?" Soundwave questioned.

Everyone looked at Orion for his answer.

Megatron looks at Orion in worry when he sees the conflict on Orion's face.

The conflict slowly melted away from his face.

And all that was left is unreadable coldness.

"…Yes."
