Unaware if the Autobots were aware of Lancex being captured, Hook headed out of the med bay. He had important information to tell Megatron, and the medic soon found the leader. Hook had to turn away for a moment as Megatron was busy with himself, but as soon as Megatron finished his somewhat private session, Megatron was enraged to see Hook. "Just what do you think you are doing?" Megatron hissed.
"I bring news regarding that bot you captured. He can spark, carry sparklings and requires 2 strong dominant mates to satisfy his systems" Hook reported.
Megatron, while angry at Hook for his interruption, smirked at the info. The vile leader could use that to his advantage, and may not even need the second virus. The problem was who could be the second bot. Megatron trusted none of his men, not even Soundwave, but Soundwave was the best candidate. Now all Megatron needed to do was talk to Soundwave. "Send Soundwave in to see me" Megatron growled. Hook nodded and left, thankful not to be torn to scrap metal.
Meanwhile, on the Autobot side of things, Optimus used teletran 1 to seek out and find Lancex. And it didn't take long as Lancex's usually hidden insignia relayed back where Lancex was. Optimus swore, as he didn't like that. Then Teletran 1 blared out that the dinobots we're headed out. Optimus was and wasn't surprised, as Optimus knew of Grimlock's feelings towards Lancex. So, needing the assistance, Optimus commed to the the leader of the Dinobots. "Optimus to Grimlock, come in Grimlock."
"What do you want, Prime? I am not backing down on winning Lancex's spark" Grimlock shot back. Grimlock was not backing down on Lancex.
Optimus silently sighed. If either of them wanted Lancex back, they would have to work together. "Listen, Grimlock. I am not here to fight you. We need to call a truce and work together if either one of us even wants a chance to see Lancex again."
" why should I work with you? You will take Lancex as mate for yourself" Grimlock shot back. Grimlock was not going to follow anyone who would steal someone else's love interst.
"Grimlock, please listen to me. When Ratchet was checking out Lancex, Ratchet found that the only way that Lancex would truly be happy in a bond is if he has two strong dominant mates. We have to work together or none of the three of us will get what we truly desire" Optimus replied in a way that would hopefully reach the stubborn dinobot. At least Optimus hoped so.
Thankfully, Grimlock listened to Optimus. "If that is the only way that Lancex will be happy, then I will work with you. But if you double cross me, I will make your life difficult" Grimlock replied. Optimus agreed. They hurriedly made a plan and all headed out. Optimus just hoped he was right in trusting Grimlock with the plan. Only time would tell.
