As the four moved through the fair, they saw many different things and met many different bots, some they knew and some they didn't. It was nice. They walked past rides and games until they came to. Part of the fair where various items were traded, bought, or sold. The four went to separate booths to look at things. Of the four, only Lancex walked over to a far booth in a corner that appeared to show random old weapons. One of the weapons that was being displayed reminded Lancex of something – an old friend that Lancex had lost millennia ago. And so, without hesitation, Lancex headed for that booth. The other three noticed, but let Lancex do as he wanted. They could ask questions later.
Lancex was drawn toward an unusual weapon for a transformer, a masamune. The sword like weapon looked like it had at one time seen transformer "blood" on it and Lancex closed his optics and sighed at that. He likely knew where that had come from. Lancex approached the old bot selling the strange device. Lancex offered to purchase it. The old bot gave a price. Lancex didn't like offered price and began to bargain with the old bot. They went back and forth for a short time before they finally agreed on a price. Lancex paid in energon credits, as those were what the old bot wanted. And, once in possession of the unusual weapon, Lancex placed it in a another secret cavity he had that could fit this type of weapon.
The trio was waiting for Lancex to join them and had seen Lancex purchase the strange looking weapon. Scourge sensed something, and so didn't ask, but Evac decided to. "Is there a reason you purchased that particular weapon?"
Lancex didn't feel like answering that question now. "I will tell you another time, once we have bonded if we get to that part" Lancex stated, not wanting to tell of things that he feared would drive the. Off if they knew before they were united by sparkbonds.
"Fair enough. We won't press you" Evac replied and Scourge and Hotshot nodded. Lancex was relieved, as he had feared that they would press him for more, as many had. This time, they were letting him taken the lead on how much they learned about him and he really appreciated it. And it made him fall harder for the trio. He just hoped that this was meant to be, because he couldn't take any more spark breaks.
