A few short weeks after the four bots had become sparkmates, Lancex fond himself not feeling so well. He had felt off before, but this was different. He didn't vomit but felt nauseous and his balance seemed way off. And so, not feeling like himself, Lancex dragged himself to a nearby med bay. Lancex groaned when he saw Red Alert and Scattershot in the med bay, but Lancex didn't see much choice. "What's wrong?" Red asked carefully.
"I feel off" Lancex replied, a vague answer if there ever was one.
"I need more information than that to help you" Red responded, still a bit confused.
"Fine.." Lancex snapped before telling all his symptoms. It was a long list and sounded strange, at least to Lancex.
Red alert didn't show it, but he had an idea. Red scanned Lancex and soon found the issue. "Congratulations" Red stated, in a strange manner.
"For what?" Lancex asked, confused and looking at red like the bot had grown three more optics.
"You are sparked, and quite heavily given your build" Red replied, waiting to see what happened.
Lancex processed what the medic stated, and before the bot could say anymore, Lancex passed out I. Shock. He wasn't out cold for long, as he soon roused and the knew he had to tell one bot first – his brother as Lance's mates were busy elsewhere, with Hotshot and Scourge both on jungle planet and Evac temporarily busy on Cybertron.
After taking time to compose himself, Lancex headed off to see if he could find his brother, but on the way to do so, Lancex crossed paths with a star struck Jetfire. Lancex had a feeling why – Jetfire must have recently been around Optimus. "Hey, lover boy, watch where you are going" Lancex called out to the flyer bot. Jetfireinstantly shaped up, as he wanted no one to know that the flyer bot was drawn to the leader, but Lancex figured it out pretty quickly. "What's up with you?"
"Just… thinking" Jetfire replied, trying to play this off but failing to do so.
"About what?" Lancex demanded to know.
"Like I'd tell you" Jetfire retorted.
"If you think you are going to go after Optimus, it has everything to do with me, as Optimus is my brother" Lancex hissed, wanting to show he meant business.
"You don't know anything" Jetfire replied, not realizing he was giving himself away.
"I will tell you one thing, you hurt him, I hurt you" Lancex firmly replied, showing he meant business. Jetfire merely nodded and then headed off. Jetfire had a lot to think about as did Lancex. Now it was time for moves to to be made.
