In an unmanned area of Charr, the small shuttlecraft carrying the two Jazzes lands, and the two of them exit. "Remember why we're here," Jazz began, "We're here to get information and to rescue your buddy, stay focused."
"I know why we're here!" the other Jazz angrily replied, "Don't make it seem like you're the only one that knows what he's doing! WE may not like each other, but at least show me a little respect!"
"I always respect my teammates." Jazz answered, "Even the ones I don't exactly trust."
"What's it gonna take to get you to trust me?" the other Jazz asked.
"Just watch my back." Jazz replied, "And don't stab me there. Let's move out."
Meanwhile, on another part of Charr, Cliffjumper continues his solo tour of Trypticon. "Man," he thought to himself, " This place is gargantuan, and just look at all the firepower! It could atomize Iacon in a matter of minutes! Just think of what it could do to the whole planet of Cybertron! I've got to find a way to stop this!" As he continued walking, he saw Shockwave and Scourge off in the distance. "I'd better lay low and find out what those guys are talking about." he thought as he ducked behind a corner.
"What have you got for me, Scourge?" Shockwave asked.
"Great news, Shockwave." Scourge replied, "I've gotten Trypticon's main functions online. All we need now is for construction to be finished, and then we will be ready."
"Construction will be finished shortly." Shockwave replied, "The Constructicons and Astrotrain are working on construction as we speak. It should only be a matter of hours until it's finished. And then our final victory will be at hand. You are dismissed, Scourge." Scourge walked of while Shockwave stood in his spot. "It is almost time for action." he said, "And it's only logical that the Decepticons will once again become the superior race." Shockwave walked off, laughing.
Cliffjumper left his hiding place, and walked to where Shockwave was standing. "Final victory?" he thought to himself, "Superior race? I don't like the way this is going. I've got to find a way out of here before I'm spotted! Where's the exit in this twisted place?" He continued on his trail.
Elsewhere on Charr, the two Jazzes have come in sight of Trypticon. "Damn." Jazz said, "That things huge!"
"How are we gonna find Cliffjumper in a place that big?" the other Jazz asked, "It'll take us hours just to walk around half that place!"
"More importantly," Jazz said, "Where's the best place to set Wheeljack's explosives?"
"Anywhere we can cause some major damage." the other Jazz replied, "Let's just go down there, take a look at the place, then blow it sky high. Then we find Cliffjumper and then we scram. It's as simple as that."
"I'm starting to like the way you think." Jazz stated.
"Took you long enough…" the other Jazz replied,
"But don't think that means I trust you." Jazz retorted, "I'm gonna need some more proof that you're actually on my side."
"Figures," the other Jazz said, "Let's move out." They left their post and walked towards Trypticon, but they did not go unnoticed. Astrotrain, while taking a break from constructions, catches one of them out of the corner of his eye.
"Autobot!" he thought to himself, "What is their business here?!?" He turned around to get a better view, but was shocked with what he saw. "TWO of them?!?" he thought in disbelief, "And they're the same ones! I've been working to hard lately, now I'm starting to see imaginary Autobots! Oh well, back to work before I go completely crazy!" He went back to his job, paying no more mind to the two Jazzes.
The two Jazzes entered Trypticon and gave it a look over. "Whoa," the other Jazz began, "This place is like a huge maze! Let's get a move on, because we've got a lot of ground to cover, and very little time to do it."
"Let's do it." Jazz said. They began to walk down the city, but the other Jazz pulled Jazz into a corner.
"Get down!" the other Jazz said, "Somebody's coming this way!"
Scourge made his way down the street. "Strange," Scourge said, "I've been hearing too many things lately. Perhaps I just need a break." Scourge continued on his way and the two Jazzes emerged from there hiding place.
"That was a little close." Jazz said, "Thanks for the save."
"Trust me now?" the other Jazz asked.
"Not entirely." Jazz replied, "But more than before."
"Good enough." the other Jazz said, "Now c'mon, we've got work to do. Let's get it done." They continued on their way until they saw another figure approach them.
"Great." Jazz said, "Nowhere to hide around here! Prepare for some action!" The two readied themselves for combat, until the figure became visible.
"Cliffjumper!" the other Jazz said, "Looks like we found you!"
"Jazz!" Cliffjumper replied, "Why are there two of you? Or do I just need my optics rewired?"
"We'll explain later, buddy," the other Jazz said, "But now we need to finish our job, then we can get out of here."
"This area looks good enough, actually." Jazz stated, "There's a lot of complexes around here. If we set the explosive here, then this would cause the damage we're looking for."
"Let's quit talking about it," the other Jazz began as he set down the explosive, "And do it. There. It's activated, now lets burn rubber and get out of here!"
"Fine by me." Cliffjumper said, "The sooner I get out of here, the better."
"Then it's settled." Jazz said, "Let's transform and roll out!" The three Autobots transformed and sped off, but before they could escape, something got in their way.
"Oh great," Cliffjumper began, "It's Shockwave!"
"Just run him down before he knows what hits him!" Jazz said as he increased his speed.
Shockwave turned around, and was surprised at what he saw. "Autobots!" He exclaimed, "We have Autobots within Trypticon! They must be stopped before they can cause damage!"
"Too late for that, pal!" the other Jazz shouted as he drove past Shockwave, "Because the damage has already been done!"
"Fools!" Shockwave exclaimed as he aimed for the other Jazz, "The only damage caused will be to your hides!" Before he could fire, however, Jazz ran into him and sent him flying through the air.
"You're wrong, Shockwave!" Jazz shouted, "By the way, your construction just might take a little longer than you expected!" After that, an explosion rocked the foundation of Trypticon.
"NO!" Shockwave yelled as he fired at he Autobots, but they we're to far away, "You might be able to run now, but when I'm finished, the Autobots will be nothing more than dust! You can't escape from your fate!" Shockwave turned around to see plumes of smoke rising in the background. "Things we're going so well," he began, "But I did something illogical, I underestimated the Autobots. They've won this battle, but rest assured, Autobots, I will see to it that you will not win war. Enjoy this small victory while it lasts, for all you have done today is postpone the inevitable!"
The three Autobots reach their shuttlecraft and they transform and enter it. "Quick!" the other Jazz said, " We need to leave… NOW!"
"I'm on it!" Jazz replied as the shuttlecraft took off, "We're heading back to Cybertron and reporting our results."
"I don't care where we go," Cliffjumper began, "As long as it doesn't involve Shockwave, Trypticon, or Decepticons."
"Don't worry about that, buddy," the other Jazz replied, "Just worry about what the two of us are going to do now…"
