7. EP7: The Titan Gamble

Episode 7: The Titan Gamble

The Autobot-Plumber Alliance have decoded the information and identified the weapon manufacturer's identity – Doubledealer and his location as well. Two teams have been sent off to search and deal with him.

Team Ben consisted of Ben, Tetrax, Kevin, Rook and Bluestreak while Team Ironhide consisted of Ironhide, Bumblebee, Bulkhead, Sideswipe and Sunstreaker were deployed for the mission. Whirl accompanied them, serving as the pilot for flying his Wrecker Ship. Argit also joined the team as well, though for a different reason. Guan, but also known as Bludgeon, accompanied them as well, to keep an eye on the rodent, making the latter uncomfortable and uneasy. Using the Hyperspace Drive, Roadbuster Wrecker Ship blasted off and arrived at its destination – Velocitron.

Whirl was piloting the ship while humming happily. The Autobots were sitting down on their seats while holding on Team Ben since they didn't have smaller sized chairs for them.

"This is your captain speaking. We're now arriving at Planet Velocitron, home of the fastest racing Transformers with some crazy stunts and speed has ever existed!" Whirl exclaimed happily like a pilot making announcement to his passengers, "Thank you for choosing Roadbuster for your travelling. Don't stand until the ship has come to a complete stop."

"He can't be serious," Argit grumbled, "He think he's some kind of a captain of tour plane?"

Kevin nodded in agreement, "Yeah. I mean he does know that we're on the mission."

Bluestreak laughed uneasily, "You have to forgive Whirl. He tends to get excited when it comes to the mission. Staying out of action often drive him crazy. He kinda needs a mission to do."

Whirl whistled happily, "You betcha, BPAFFIEHIML!"

"The what?!" Everyone asked in confusion.

Bluestreak sighed, "Best Partner & Friend Forever I Ever Had In My Life." Everyone looked confused and surprised by how long the sentence or unusual acronym is. He shrugged, "Don't ask. Whirl always come up with crazy idea."

"But still, taking care of baby isn't enough?" Bumblebee asked in surprise.

Ben nodded, "Yeah. He did become a dad like two months ago. And just left the kid in nursery for a mission? He got some priority issues."

Bulkhead cleared his throat, "I wouldn't insult him like that, guys."

"Hey! I may be crazy and wild Copterbot! But I ain't stupid too!" Whirl shouted angrily while glaring at his friends. He huffed angrily as he returned to the front window, "Besides, I wouldn't let anyone touch and ride my ship! Got it?"

Recalling Kevin's sensitive with his car being used and drove by someone else, Ben chuckled a bit, "My bad. Where have I heard that before?"

Rook nodded in agreement, understanding what Ben was referring to, "Agreed. I have heard that story too."

Whirl sighed sadly, "Plus, I wouldn't mind bringing Whirl Girl for an adventure, but this mission is gonna be dangerous especially fighting the Quintessons. She's still a Hatchling. So, it's best for her to stay on Earth with Ratchet and Jolt until I come back home."

Sideswipe hummed thoughtfully before sighed, "I know the feeling. I've been there before."

"Really?" Whirl asked in surprise.

"Yeah. I have a family from Velocitron," Sideswipe admitted, surprising the team. He nodded, "I only got a chance to visit them for one month a year before coming back to Autobots. It's quite tough and frustrated for not seeing them when you're at war with the Cons."

Sunstreaker patted Sideswipe's back, "You did what is best, bro. You're doing it for your family. Best to end the war for family."

After thinking of what his brother has said, Sideswipe smiled warmly, "You're right, Sunstreaker. Thanks. Plus, I get to see them again. I wonder how my family are doing. Hopefully, they're doing alright."

Sunsteraker chuckled, "We'll soon find out, bro."

Just as the Roadbuster entered the Velocitron's atmosphere, it was flying and heading straight to Speedia, Capital City of Velocitron. Team Ben looked surprised and amazed by the city landscape especially the creative yet crazy and dangerous designs of highway for most racers to drive and ride around.

"Wow. And I thought your sanctuary is bigger," Argit commented.

Kevin nodded in agreement, "No kidding. Compare to our street race or even XLR8's home planet, this place takes the cake."

"Well, this is Velocitron," Sideswipe joked, "This planet is for racers to drive and go in high speed, with some acrobatic and agility to pull some crazy stunts and moves. Plus, they also hosted some crazy racing event from inside and out."

Kevin whistled, "Now, that's something."

"Do you believe that this Doubledealer could be hiding here?" Rook asked Ironhide.

"Nope," Ironhide answered with a shook of his head, "We're heading to the Capital City, meeting up with Override. Hoping that she or her friends can provide us some intel."

"I see." Tetrax nodded in understanding, "That would be great. The more the merrier I supposed?"

Ironhide nodded, "Yup. We need some help when we are dealing with a dangerous mercenary."

"I assumed that you guys have fought him?" Tetrax asked.

"Yeah. Doubledealer used to be one of us." Ironhide answered grimly with sigh, shocking Team Ben. He continued, "During our war against the Cons, he and his unit came as reinforcement. He claimed they were sent here by Ultra Magnus. So, we let them in. For almost two months, we almost lost some battles and lots of soldiers. The Cons somehow able to predict and defeat us at once. Some of us suspect that Soundwave send his Minicons to infiltrate and get the intel. Others think they have good tactician like Switchblade or Onslaught. So, we remained in defensive and kept our securities tight for the enemies."

"That's troublesome…" Guan remarked, knowing the event well since he was Bludgeon and member of Squadron X.

"But Cliffjumper suspected Doubledealer is the spy. We all thought he was crazy or jealous of him." Bumblebee continued the explanation, "But turns out, he was right. He caught him red-handed for stealing and delivering intel to the Cons."

Team Ben looked confused of what Bumblebee has said. Ironhide spoke, "Bumblebee said one of our friends – Cliffjumper caught Doubledealer red-handed for stealing and delivering intel to the Cons."

"We've taken care of his units but the jerk got away," Bulkhead grumbled in annoyance, "We've been fighting and trying to catch him for weeks, but he always slipped away. And the next thing, you know, he's disappeared from our sights. Haven't heard of him ever since."

"Until now…" Guan said dryly, "He's working for the Quintessons. I'm surprise that he's not with the Cons."

"Something tells me that Doubledealer did something stupid to the Decepticons," Bluestreak said suspiciously.

Sunstreaker hummed thoughtfully, "Come to think of it, Bluestreak. I've remembered that Blackout and his Heavy Brigade were searching for him. Something to do with him selling out the Cons' weapons to highest bidder. I thought it was an act for him to get back to us."

"But apparently, it wasn't," Sideswipe added, "Since he has betrayed both sides, his only option is to escape this planet. And also, disappeared. He needs help to do that."

"By making a deal with Quintessa. She helped him escaped and sent off to safe location for him to continue working for her," Ironhide concluded. He groaned, "That witch really ticked me off now."

Bulkhead nodded angrily, "Yeah, no kidding."

"Well, looks like we make our mission clear. Take care of Doubledealer for good," Ben commented. He sighed, "Hope the girls are alright. From what Gwen told me, Julie is upset and angry over a match with Rojo."

"Don't worry, Tennyson. She'll be fine. She got some friends especially your cousin to help her out," Kevin commented, "She will kick that low-life's ass."

"Still, I'm surprise that Quintessa would allow her to work with her, despite the failures she has suffered." Rook said in surprise, "Not to mention, she would even upgrade her into more Cybertronian."

Tetrax nodded in agreement, "True. Probably, she needs some humans to assist her plans, putting her disgust of organic aside. The girls did mention that they need more currency and resources for their projects. Whatever that is."

"Well, one way to find out is to get Doubledealer. He might know what's Quintessa's plan is," Ben said confidently.

Ironhide nodded, "You're right, kid. That's the plan. Whirl, step on it!"

Whirl playfully saluted, "Aye-aye, captain!"

Roadbuster Wrecker Ship continued flying through the city. It arrived at the Speedia City Hall with helipad on the rooftop and the banner of Velocitrion and Autobots. It landed gently on the pad. Both Team Ben and Team Ironhide climbed out from the ship. They met up with Override, a young red colored bot with spiky metallic hair-like and a group of Throttlebot Guards were there.

"Sideswipe!" Override called out happily.

"Hey, honey! I'm home!" Sideswipe called happily. Override rushed and hugged her spouse happily and warmly. He smiled, "Man, miss you very much."

"I miss you too, my Conjunx Endura!" Override said happily before kissing him by lips.

"Conjunx Endura?" Team Ben asked in confusion.

Sunstreaker cleared his throat as he whispered, "For humans' basic term, it means lifebond partner or wife. Basically, saying my brother and Override are husband and wife, and had a kid too."

Team Ben awed in surprised and amazement as they didn't expect Cybertronians to have different kind of word for 'romance'.

Departing from kissing her husband, Override smiled, "Glad you finally come back home again. Life can be dull without you."

Sideswipe chuckled a bit, "I know. But I tried my best. But war with Decepticons sure give us hard time to stop them."

Override nodded understandingly, "Seeing you here is more than enough." She turned and looked at young crimson bot, "Fastlane, come and greet your dad and Uncle Sunstreaker. The least you can do is to say hi."

Fastlane groaned a bit, "Why? It's not like Dad and Uncle Sunstreaker are here for staying with us. They're here for the mission and go back to war with the Decepticons."

"Fastlane!" Override scolded Fastlane while slapped on his head.

Fastlane groaned in pain while rubbing his head's back, "I was just telling the truth. Dad never come back home. He never had time with us. Too busy fighting the bad guys and winning the war. Unlike Uncle Sunstreaker, he made the effort to come and see us."

Sideswipe cringed in shame and upset to hear how Fastlane talked about him while Sunstreaker was embarrassed. Their teammates looked confused yet worried and awkward.

Though understanding her son's frustration with his father not being around, Override doesn't like his tone and attitude as she scolded, "But that is still rude, kiddo! Don't talk to your father like that!"

Fastlane scoffed with his rolling eyes, "Whatever…"

Override sighed in annoyance. She turned and looked at her husband and the rest of their teammates. She asked, "So, you're here for the mission?"

Sideswipe sighed in frustration while scratching the back of his head, "Yeah, sorry, Override."

Override was a bit disappointed. Fastlane was annoyed and irritated while crossing his arms. Cogman and the rest of Throttlebot Guards remained silent.

Knowing Sideswipe want to spend some time with his family, Ironhide cleared his throat, "But if we can finish the mission in time, then we'll take a break here. That means Sideswipe and Sunstreaker will spend more time with their family."

Sideswipe and Sunstreaker were surprised and happy by the news. Sideswipe smiled, "Thanks, Ironhide."

"Yeah. That makes no different. Pretty sure that the mission is gonna be very long," Fastlane grumbled in annoyance. He scoffed, "I'm gonna hit the ride. See ya."

Just before anyone especially Sideswipe said anything, Fastlane transformed and drove off at once via using the highway, which led him to the town.

Sideswipe sighed, "Guess he's still mad at me. Where on Cybertron did he get kind of attitude?"

"I wonder where?" Sunstreaker asked sarcastically while crossed his arms. He cleared his throat, "Anyhow, I'll watch my nephew. And make sure he stayed out of trouble. You, Ironhide and the rest handle this matter."

Sideswipe nodded firmly. Sunstreaker transformed into his yellowish colored Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Racing Car. He drove off, going after his nephew now. Override led both Team Ironhide and Team Ben to the city hall's office for discussion about their mission. Throttlebot Guards followed them from behind.

Override noticed Team Ben. She asked, "So, who are these organics? Never seen them so small around here."

Sideswipe sighed a bit, "It's kinda a long story, honey."

"Really? Like how you got stuck on Earth and been in stasis for 65 million years before you come and propose me for Conjunx Endura?" Override asked amusingly and playfully, making Sideswipe embarrassed. She laughed a bit, "Something tells me that Earth is really something."

Ironhide sighed, "You have no idea."

Team Ironhide chatted and discussed with Override and Cogman over the latest adventure and battle against the Decepticons from Earth. Team Ben have their own discussion about Fastlane's relationship with Sideswipe.

"You know that sounds kinda familiar," Ben said in concern yet amusing. He glanced at Kevin, "Don't suppose that you and Mr. Hackett still have sort of that problem?"

Kevin groaned, "Ben, I appreciate that you don't bring that guy's name up."

"Seriously?! You're still mad at him, even when he was trying to help us to stop your rampaging power?!"

"Even so, he still doesn't like me because I'm an Osmosian with dangerous and deadliest monstrous power."

"Yeah. But he stood up to you. He tried to stop you from hurting people again. He cares about you, you know. It's what dads do."

"Well, I don't think so. He only did it for my mom. He loved her so much, and wanted her to approve and love him. But I don't. I won't accept him as my dad, no matter what. No one could ever take my real dad's place."

"I still don't understand, Kevin. Why would you think Harvey take your real father's place?" Rook asked curiously yet confusing.

Kevin turned and glared at Rook, He snapped angrily, "Because my bonding and connection to my real dad – Devin Levin, will never go away! No matter how many years have passed or what my mom done with any guys, nothing will change the bonding! It's something that Harvey can never replace! He will never be my dad!"

Kevin turned and walked away from his friends. Team Ben was in shock and surprised by Kevin's outburst over his relationship with his deceased biological father. They understand him missed Devin Levin so much, but didn't expect him get so sensitive and emotional about him being taken over by Harvey Hackett.

"I'd never understand why humans are so emotional and attach with family bonding," Guan asked dryly and insensitively.

"If I may," Argit spoke up as he explained, "The family bonding between Osmosian parent and child is very crucial and emotional but also different than normal family standard of bonding."

"What do you mean by that?" Tetrax asked curiously.

Argit continued with explanation about Osmosian Family Bonding, "Like the babies, the first thing they see is the parents, whom they grew to love and bond with for years. But for Osmosian's Case, when the child sees its parents – biological or adopted – they don't just create family bond, but also deeper and emotional connection between them. So, whether either of them gone or dead, they don't easily forget the very person they've formed the bonding for years, unless they don't get along well."

"So, how is this related to Kevin's problem?" Guan asked dryly and bluntly, annoying Argit.

"That explains why Kevin gets so mad and annoyed about Harvey a lot," Ben said in realization, "He has deeper connection and family bonding with Devin."

Argit nodded, "Yeah. Osmosians may have been strong, fierce and proud fighters with absorption and fighting skills; but they're very emotional, sensitive and distraught over their problems."

"I see." Rook said understandingly. He approached to Kevin, "Kevin, I apologize for offending you about not understanding about your family bonding."

Though annoyed with Argit telling his friends, Kevin knew that they want to know about his problem. He sighed, "It's okay, bro. Like Argit said, I'm not type of guy like to share his problems with anyone else. No matter what Harvey do, I can't and won't forget my real dad."

"Still, you should try to talk with Harvey. Maybe make the amends with him from all those years ago," Tetrax suggested. Kevin turned and glared at him. He continued, "I'm not suggesting you to forget about Devin Levin. I'm suggesting you to try befriend and get along with him. Not necessary a father and son bonding, but a friendship."

Kevin seems to be reluctant and uneasy about the idea, "I need some time to think about it." He sighed, "You know what? Maybe I should check on Sideswipe's kid. Would like to knock some sense into him."

"Seriously?!" Everyone asked in annoyance.

Kevin got vexed as he remarked in annoyance, "What? He got no respect for his dad. He should be appreciative and proud of his dad. Just like how I did with mine."

"Sounds familiar," Ben remarked, making rest of his team agreed.

"Perhaps, I should go with you as well," Rook volunteered, "I do have father problems before. I would like to share the experience with him."

"Me too! You know give support!" Argit suggested uneasily.

"Then, I shall come as well." Guan said firmly, shocking Argit. He gave him the glare, "You're still under my watch. I'll make sure that you're not up to something funny. Understand?"

Argit gulped, "Yes, sir."

"Guess we'll see you around," Ben commented.

Kevin nodded, "Yeah. Let me get my car. Wanna try out on this place."

"Agreed. I would like to test and review their road types, traffic rules and how the Velocitronian Government handle and manage the situation," Rook said thoughtfully, making his teammates facefaulted of his idea. He was confused to ask, "What? Did I say something off?"

Kevin groaned as he got up and pushed Rook off, "Let's just get our cars now."

Kevin, Rook, Guan and Argit returned to Roadbuster Wrecker Ship, they quickly turned on their own transports. Kevin and Argit are on his Muscle Car with new engine booster on back, a turbo engine-like on the front bonnet and has the racing wing on booth. Both Rook and Guan were driving on Proto-TRUK. They're heading off to the road, following and meeting up with Sunstreaker and Sideswipe.

After seeing their friends off, both Ben and Tetrax followed their allies, heading off to the office for discussion.

"You know what? I'd never understand why they have to bring their vehicles here. We're riding the Transformers, who can literally turn into cars and trucks," Tetrax remarked in confusion.

Ben shrugged a bit, "Who knows? But knowing Kevin, he doesn't like anyone touch his car. And he doesn't go anywhere without it."

Tetrax chuckled amusingly, "Funny. Rook used to say the same thing. I guess he's still upset that he didn't use much of his truck since he arrived on Earth."

"Well, hopefully, they don't cause too much damage to theirs. I hate to see ugly sside."

"Yeah. I know what you mean."

---

A mysterious yet familiar large armored dropship arrived and landed at the Speedia's docking bay. A Velocitronian quartermaster and his two guards approached to the ship. Just as the dropship opened its entrance door by lowering down the ramp. Just before they could do anything, they all got headshot while the quartermaster got his chest blasted. Three of them were dead.

The familiar group slowly emerged out from the dropship. They revealed themselves to be the Decepticons. The team consisted of Barricade, Blackout, Spinister, Dead End, Deathsaurus, Skywarp, Knockout and Breakdown. They even brought some of Vehicon Troopers with them as well.

"Another day for the mission. And to get another scrap on my paintjob," Knockout grumbled in annoyance. He groaned, "I don't get enough paid for this."

"I don't remember Lord Megatron ever paid to you, doc," Skywarp commented amusingly.

Knockout groaned, "Shut it, Skywarp!"

Dead End groaned in relief, "What a relief. Never thought I was going to use my real body again."

"Tell me about it," Spinister agreed while stretching himself out, "I know Lord Megatron expect us to infiltrate, spy and turning everyone against the Plumbers. For Primus's Sake, working with that Lieutenant Jerk sure gives me a splintered headache! What a pain!"

"Pathetic," Deathsaurus remarked dryly, "What kind of spies are you if you cannot handle with Pretender Technology?"

Dead End and Spinister groaned, "You wanna say that again?!"

"Knock it off, boneheads!" Barricade commanded sternly, "We've got the job to do!"

Blackout nodded firmly, "Indeed. That treacherous Doubledealer is here. We must find and deal with him, once and for all. He shall pay for the treachery against our lord and master. Failures will not to be tolerated."

"Yes, sir…" The Decepticons exclaimed firmly.

Breakdown scoffed, "So, I'm guessing we'll just stroll around and make them talk about where DD is?"

"No. We cannot alert the Velocitron authority to know our presence here since they're on Autobots' side," Barricade said sternly and strictly, "So, therefore, we have to be silent and stealthy to find and deal with that traitor for good. But we also have to avoid Velocitronian Guards as well."

"Agreed. No doubt the Autobots will be here as well since they have copied the same information that Nautica and Buzzsaw has done," Blackout said sternly and dryly, "Do not engage them. Our mission is Doubledealer, no more, no less."

Breakdown groaned, "I was looking forward to hammer Bulkhead if he ever gets here."

Barricade approached and slammed a punch on the brute's head, "Shut it, idiot! Don't forget why we're here! Better hope that you don't end up being someone's experiment again."

Almost all Decepticons chuckled about it. Breakdown grumbled, "Why does everyone have to bring that up?! It wasn't even funny."

"Well, get scratched isn't funny either," Knockout grumbled.

"What are you boneheads waiting for?! Get a move on! Now!" Barricade commanded firmly and sternly, "Time's wasting! And also, flyers! Don't turn into your flying transports! They will know we're here."

Skywarp groaned, "Aw come on! Is this a joke?!"

Blackout snapped, "Get used to it, Skwarp. Would you rather clean Starscream's mess again?"

"No, sir!" Skywarp exclaimed in concern, "Loved working on the ground! No problem with walking!"

Deathsaurus scoffed while crossed his arms, "Rusty chicken!"

Skywarp groaned, "I heard that, Jerkisaurus!"

Losing his patient with his team, Barricade screamed, "Move it now!"

The Decepticons quickly moved out at once. Knockout, Barricade, Dead End and most of ground Vehicon Troopers transformed into their vehicular modes to roll out. Skywarp, Deathsaurus, Spinister and some jet Vehicon Troopers started running at once across the city.

Barricade groaned, "Team…"

"Tell me about it." Blackout agreed dryly.

---

Both Kevin's Muscle Car and Proto-TRUK continued driving down to the downtown, searching and meeting up with Sunstreaker and Fastlane. During their travelling; they were amazed and astounding of highway and route designs, how Velocitronians raced with styles, stunts and crazy moves, upgrading and repairing the vehicle modes, and usual business.

Argit whistled, "That's some gig."

"Yeah. I'm almost wanna give up on Khoras-5 Engine Block," Kevin commented. Argit amusingly looked at his 'best friend'. He scoffed, "Almost, pal. Almost."

"Yeah. Risking your neck to get it from Looma."

"Shut it. At least, she's eyeing on Ben now."

"Wow, there, buddy. Didn't you know it?" Argit asked playfully, confusing Kevin. He smirked, "Ben's off the hook."

"What?! How?!" Kevin asked in disbelief.

Argit snickered, "Funny story. It happens when Team Ben met the Ladybug and Cat Noir at Paris…"

On Rook's driving his Proto Truk, he seemed to be nervous and uneasy when he was sitting together with Guan, who remained firm and serious while glaring at Kevin's Muscle Car like he was keeping an eye on Argit. Though wanted to talk with the Revonnahgander, he seems to be reluctant and restrained from doing so. This make the conversation seemed to be awkward.

"Do you wish to speak with me, cadet?" Guan asked in annoyance.

Rook yelped with the blush of embarrassment. He cleared his throat, "My apology, sir. I don't mean to be disrespect or nuisance to you or anything. But I do wish to talk with you but I can't. Not because you're bad or trouble, it's just that our culture forbids us to do, sir. If you know what I mean." Guan looked confused and uncertain. He hissed, "That was embarrassing."

"Why would you think of that, cadet?"

"Well, I'm a farmer from Amber Farm Tribe while you're obviously from Skull Warrior Tribe. As you can tell, warriors like you do not speak or have high regards to me. So, it's kinda awkward about it. Sorry if it offended you."

"I see. Well, as far as I can tell, Rook Blonko, you're not a farmer anymore. You're a warrior. So, you can speak freely to me. And also, don't bother about our tradition. We're not at Revonnah."

Rook blinked in surprise and uncertain, "I don't know if I should be worry or impressed with your defiance to our tradition. But on Earth, I shouldn't be worry. Very well, I shall speak."

"Then, speak, not be silence, cadet. I do not enjoy a small chat."

"Right. Understand. I'm kinda surprise that Revonnah Council have decided to send you here, let alone a Skull Warrior. They only send me here as both cadet and representative for our people."

"I see." Guan said amusingly, recalling Rook's profile and history. Remembering his history, he carefully answered, "After what you did for Revonnah, the council has decided to send me here for further inspection on this new world. To see if it's worthy or not for us to consider for travelling here and other worlds."

"Well, that was good news as my friends would say," Rook said happily. He sighed, "I've always hoped that one day, Revonnahganders would able to travel across the galaxy, making business and trading, coexisting with them for peace and alliance. It's what I dreamed for."

"We shall see…" Guan said firmly and calmly, initially doubting that would come true.

Both Kevin's Muscle Car and Proto-Truk came across to the alley, where they noticed something amiss within. They climbed out from the vehicles. They entered and investigate the area. They found Sunstreaker and Fastlane were using oil painting and colorful sprays on the wall, creating the graffiti of various fonts and artworks. Both of them seems to be getting along well.

Kevin whistled, "Wow. That's something."

"Didn't think Cybertronians like arts," Argit commented.

Just as Kevin and his team approached to Sunstreaker and Fastlane, Rook asked, "Isn't graffiti illegal?"

Fastlane turned and glared at Rook, "Who asked you, small fry?!"

"Come on, Fastlane, be nice." Sunstreaker said firmly while patted his nephew's back. He turned and looked at Rook, "Sorry about that. And no, it isn't illegal. The alley, park and even bridge drainage are allowed for any kind of graffiti and arts, as long as you don't disrespect Override."

Rook hummed thoughtfully, "When you put it that way, I supposed it's nothing wrong about this."

"Wow. That's something," Kevin commented. He turned and looked at the wall that has the graffiti of Fastlane being adolescent warrior showing off his fighting skills against the Vehicon Troopers. He scoffed, "Cool. You did this?"

Fastlane scoffed, "Pretty obvious, isn't it?"

"I'll take that as 'yes'." Kevin commented dryly. He looked closely at the graffiti wall, "You know I used to like doing some serious graffiti on the wall and skateboard park. I make the art of myself becoming the best of the best with riches and coolest car."

Fastlane was skeptical while glancing at Kevin's Muscle Car, "Seriously? Like that junk?"

His friends yelped in concern by Fastlane's insults. Kevin groaned, "Dude. Never! Ever! Call! My! Car! A! JUNK! You hear me!"

Fastlane dug out the dust from his audio receptive, "Care to say about your car being a junk?"

Kevin groaned angrily as he was about to attack but held back by Rook. Sunstreaker approached and confronted his own nephew.

"Kiddo, that isn't nice of you to say that to our friend. Didn't Cogman teach you some manners?" Sunstreaker asked in disappointment

"Of course, he did, Uncle Sunstreaker. He never told you about being nice to small fries." Fastlane answered annoyingly. Sunstreaker gave a stern glare at him. He groaned, "I don't understand why you, dad or any Autobots think of these small fries as friends. They're so tiny, small, weak and losers too!"

Kevin and his friends were annoyed by his insults. Sunstreaker sighed, "Okay, point taken, kiddo. However, these guys are stronger and smarter than you think. They worked together as friends and team to take down the bigger and dangerous threats. We've seen them in action. They're the reasons why we finally take the fight to the Cons and winning too. And one day, we'll finally take that monster down and come back home."

Fastlane rolled his eyes in annoyance while groaned in frustration, "Uncle, please! You're using the same excuse as my dad did. I don't understand why you guys couldn't beat this buckethead. You keep saying you're winning, but still fighting. How long it's gonna take."

"He does make a good point," Rook commented thoughtfully.

"Not helping!" Kevin snapped softly.

Sunstreaker sighed, "Fastlane, the Decepticons especially Megatron are not the bots you should mess with. They're very strong, fierce and dangerous bots to deal with. We may have won some battles, but the Decepticons still outnumber us with army and resources. If you're not really careful and just charge straight at the heart of the nest, you'll be dead."

Fastlane wasn't convinced but still upset, "Sounds excuses, Uncle Sunstreaker…"

"You can be a real stubborn, you know that?" Sunstreaker said annoyingly. Fastlane scoffed in disbelief. He sighed, "We should get going. Your parents would be worried for you."

Fastlane groaned, "Whatever…"

"Man, what a jerk," Kevin remarked.

Argit scoffed, "You're the one to talk."

Rook said firmly, "Come now, everyone. Fastlane was just disappointed and upset that his father rarely comes home. I'm sure he will understand about it, one day."

Kevin and Argit scoffed, "Not likely…"

As soon as Kevin and the rest of their friends came out from the alley, Argit noticed something from the market stall. They all stopped and looked at the same direction Argit was looking at. They all saw a large blue colored muscular Decepticon with blackish helmet and a large missile-like bazooka on his right shoulder was chatting and making business with his customers. They were all pleased and happy with the technologies they have.

"Wow. Didn't think someone must be making some serious business," Argit commented in surprise.

Kevin noticed the mysterious seller selling some weapons to the customers. He hummed suspiciously, "There's something familiar about those weapons. I've seen it before."

Argit became nervous and worried about it as well, "Yeah, me too."

Rook asked, "Is selling weapons to customers legal?"

"No, it shouldn't be. There is no way Override would allow this," Sunstreaker said firmly and sternly. He looked closely at the mysterious seller. He gasped, "Doubledealer!"

Everyone gasped in shock and concern. Kevin asked, "That seller is Doubledealer?!"

Sunstreaker groaned, "It's him. I'd never forget that face of his! We finally found him!"

Using his com-link, Rook contacted his allies, "Ben! Tetrax! We've located Doubledealer! Request the reinforcement now!"

"On it, Rook! We'll be there soon! Keep on your eyes on him and don't do anything stupid," Ben ordered firmly.

Rook nodded, "Understood, Ben. We'll wait for your arrival."

"Okay. Let's just hope that guy's busy with his business," Argit remarked in concern.

"Yeah. All we need to do is watch and keep an eye on him. No heroic stunts. Got it?" Sunstreaker said sternly. Everyone nodded firmly. Didn't hear his nephew answering to him, he looked at Fastlane, who wasn't around. He yelped, "Fastlane?! Where is he?!"

As everyone was looking around, Guan spotted someone's approaching to Doubledealer, "There he is!"

Everyone turned and looked at Guan's direction They all yelped in concern as they're looking at Fastlane's approaching and confronting Doubledealer. They quickly moved and tried to stop him before he screws up the plan.

Just as Doubledealer sold another weapon to the customer, he found Fastlane stood before him. The young Velocitronian Autobot shown his fierce and angry looks while armed with his sword.

"Hello there, kid. What can I do for you?" Doubledealer greeted with smile. To his shock and unexpectedness, Fastlane swung and slammed his sword down, cutting the counter table in two. This shocked and scared both him and his customers. He groaned, "Hey, what's your big idea, kid?!"

Fastlane raised and aimed his sword at Doubledealer, "What's the big idea?! You! You're making illegal business here by selling weapons to these customers! Only military allows!"

Doubledealer chuckled, "Oh yeah? What are you gonna do? Lecturing me?"

"Obviously not. I am Fastlane, son of Override!" Fastlane announced himself with pride and determination, shocking and alerting the customers and even Doubledealer. He demanded, "Surrender now or else I'll have to kick your tailpipe!"

"Like this?!" Doubledealer stood up as he kicked Fastlane off to the ground. He armed and aimed his blaster at Fastlane's head. He smirked, "Lesson One, kid. Never let your guard down. Otherwise, you'd be dead."

BANG! Doubledealer yelped in pain when he felt the blast hit his hand, dropping his blaster. He looked up and found Sunstreaker, Kevin and his team are charging towards him. He groaned angrily as he transformed into Cybertronian Missile Transport Truck. He drove off at once. They approached and checked on Fastlane.

"You okay, kiddo?" Sunstreaker asked. Fastlane nodded a bit. Everyone sighed in relief. He then whacked on Fastlane's head, making him yelped in pain. He continued, "That's what you get for doing stupid again! Honestly, just wait and listen to your commander or family before you jump into action!"

Fastlane groaned in pain, "Sorry, Uncle Sunstreaker."

"Come on! We'd better follow him now!" Sunstreaker said firmly and determinedly.

As commanded, Sunstreaker and his team quickly went after Doubledealer before he tried to escape. Surprisingly, Argit remained behind while looking around of his surroundings – advanced Cybertronian Weapons and Technologies. He hummed thoughtfully of what to do with them.

"Well, I'll guard the rear and wait for the backup," Argit volunteered while looking at the weapons. Just as he was about to pick the weapons, Guan stood before him. While loading his weapons, he glared at him for the moment. He gulped, "And of course, just make sure the weapons and tech don't fall into wrong hands."

Guan nodded sternly, "Good. I'll assist as well. Making sure that you do your job properly."

Argit groaned before slammed on the wall, "Aw poof!"

Kevin, Rook, Sunstreaker and Fastlane continued run down to the small town, chasing after Doubledealer, who was driving as fast as he can. And at the same time, the truck mode's turrets fired at them. They barely dodged and evaded the blasts. Fastlane armed with his sword to block and deflect the blasts. While hiding behind the walls, both Sunstreaker and Rook were firing and blasting their Proto-Tool's Blaster and Magna Sun Buster at him. Kevin touched the metallic wall, forming his own armor, jumped on Sunstreaker's back.

"Sunstreaker, how's your throw?" Kevin asked.

"Huh? Good. Why?" Sunstreaker asked in confusion.

"Throw me at DD's head," Kevin explained as he jumped and landed on the yellowish Autobot's palm. He continued, "I'm gonna hit on his head with my won specialty."

Sunstreaker nodded, "Got it. Hopefully, I'm good at human baseball."

Positioning himself like a professional pitcher, he held Kevin on his palm. Targeting at Doubledealer's rolling down on downward route, Sunstreaker threw him straight at his target.

While rolling and hovering over, Kevin dived down and slammed his cannonball on top of Doubledealer's Cyebrtronian Missile Transport. Forming his own hammer, he slammed and hammered down on the rooftop, damaging it. The turrets turned and fired on him. He barely dodged and evaded the blasts before slammed and knocked them off. Unfortunately, he swung the missile launcher to knock him off. He fell on Fastlane, who slammed and fell on his back. Doubledealer continued his escape. As soon as Sunstreaker and Rook met up, Fastlane knocked Kevin off.

"Way to go, punk! You let him get away!" Fastlane exclaimed angrily.

"Excuse me! Don't blame me, punk! It's your fault for making him run!" Kevin snapped angrily.

Sunstreaker hushed at both Fastlane and Kevin, "Knock it off! He's getting away!" He transformed into his yellowish car mode. He ordered, "Get in now!"

"I am not gonna let anyone ride on me!" Fastlane scoffed as he transformed into his crimson car before drove off.

Kevin groaned, "That kid got some attitude problem!"

Rook snapped, "Kevin, not now! We need to stop Doubledealer now!"

Kevin and Rook boarded Sunstreaker's car mode. He drove off at once, catching up with Fastlane and Doubleadealer. Driving through dangerous large three rounds of banked turn, they exited and arrived at the abandoned factory, where they slammed right on Deathsaurus, Skywarp, Spinister and Dead End.

"Hey, watch where you're-!" Skywarp was interrupted when he saw Doubledealer in front, "Doubledealer!"

Doubledealer groaned in pain as he slowly recovered and got up from the ground. He yelped in fear when he's confronting his former colleagues. They're all furious and annoyed to see him.

"Hey, fellas! Good to see you again?" Doubledealer greeted uneasily, "How are you?"

Dead End clenched his fists, "Peachy! Now that you're here!"

"Time to end this, traitor!" Spinister snapped angrily.

Deathsaurus growled angrily, "In the name of Decepticons' Cause, prepare to meet your doom!"

Doubledealer panicked, "Hey, come on, fellas! Can we cut some deals?! How about I give you something valuable?! Something juicy! Something interesting that Lord Megatron like Autobots' arsenals, weapons, refugee camps! Anything?!"

Deathsaurus roared angrily, "Your death will suffice!"

Just before Deathsaurus could do anything, his face got kicked by Fastlane, who quickly grabbed and thrown Doubledealer at the wall, where he got himself knocked out. He armed himself with a sword. He yelled out loud while showing off his move.

"So, you're the Cons? You're not scary than I thought." Fastlane mocked playfully. Annoyed by his insults, the Decepticons armed and readied with their weapons and blasters, aiming at him. He gulped in fear before chuckled nervously, "Okay, maybe you are."

Deathsaurus roared in anger, "Insolent brat! You shall pay for the insults!"

"Yeah!" Skywarp snapped angrily while armed with his Big Bang Maces, "I'm gonna hammer you now!"

Spinister snarled, "You're gonna be sorry for making fun of us, kid!"

Dead End nodded, "You bet it."

Just before the Decepticons could do anything, the yellowish car arrived as he quickly twisted the turn to ram and knock them off. He then transformed into his robot mode as he and his friends are facing them off.

Skywarp groaned, "Oh great! The Autobot."

"Figure that they would be coming after the bot we wanted." Dead End grumbled.

"Enough talk! Attack!" Deathsaurus ordered as he transformed into his dragon mode.

Deathsaurus roared angrily as he charged and pounced on Sunstreaker, who struggled to hold off the dragon's mouth for the moment. He grunted as he kicked him off. Unsheathed and armed with his twin long sword, he then engaged the dragon, who endured and withstand the pain while trying to attack and bite him. The Decepticon Beast jumped and pounced on the Autobot Wrecker, who held and pushed him back as hard as he can. Unfortunately, the dragon unleashed his flamethrower, which he barely dodged down before pushed him off. The dragon transformed back to his robot mode. Armed with his claws, Deathsaurus fiercely engaged and dueled with Sunstreaker, who used both agility and cunning to dodge and evade the attacks while fighting him off.

Dead End and Spinister armed and fired their blasters at Kevin and Rook, who quickly take cover behind the walls. They then fired back at them. Both sides continued firing and shooting fiercely and determinedly for couple of times. Neither side are winning. Kevin looked up and found a billboard on top of warehouse. He fired at it. Rook noticed it and realized of what Kevin's doing. He followed his teammates by shooting at the billboard's support, which began breaking down. Dead End and Spinister were busy firing their blasters at their enemies until they noticed the shadowy on the floor was growing larger. They looked up and found a billboard was about to fall on them. They barely dodged it but got blasted and attacked by Kevin and Rook.

Doubledealer grunted in pain, just as he woke up from the ground. He found Skywarp jumped and about to slam his mace on him. The mercenary screamed and panicked in fear until Fastlane came and kicked the Decepticon off. He armed with his sword. He recklessly charged and attacked the Decepticon Seeker, who calmly yet amusingly and teasingly dodged and blocked the attacks while pushing and knocking him off for few times. This made young Autobot annoyed and irritated as he angrily swung and slammed his sword at Skywarp but missed for few times. Just as Fastlane swung his blade on his head, Skywarp dodged down and fired his Bazooka Cannon at him off. He got thrown and slammed on Doubledealer to the ground. Skywarp approached to them as he readied his two Bazooka Cannons, preparing to finish them.

Skywarp got splashed by mysterious greenish slime. He turned and looked at the front, where he found Spitter that worn blackish pants with white pattern on sides and greenish pattern on middle that has Omnitrix on it. He continued spitting out the large quantity of polluted slimy water on him. He hit his Omnitrix, transformed into Feedback, who gathered enough electrical energy to blast at his face, shocking him off. Though electrocuted for the moment, Skywarp recovered as he swung and slammed his maces at the Conductoid, who barely dodge them for thrice. When one of the maces hit the ground, he jumped on it before running straight at Skywarp. As soon as he jumped up high, he hit his Omnitrix as he transformed into Slamstrike, a large greenish monster-like with large mouth and a small head with two yellow eyes armed with blackish battle gloves worn black sports pant with white pattern, enlarged his hands to slam on Skywarp to the ground hard. He began punching and hitting his enemy's face.

Slamstrike wasn't alone as Tetrax, Team Ironhide and Throttlebot Guards arrived to the battlefield. They're all armed and fired their blasters at the Decepticons. Realizing they're outnumbered and outmatched, Deathsaurus roared out loud as he transformed into his dragon mode to fly off. Skywarp, Spinister and Dead End did the same thing as well. They all quickly made the escape.

After the fight, Team Ben and Team Ironhide regrouped with Sunsteraker, Fastlane, Kevin and Rook. Slamstrike transformed back into Ben. Doubledealer tried to escape but halted by Bulkhead and Bumblebee.

"Hey, guys…" Doubledealer greeted uneasily and nervously.

Bulkhead scoffed, "Nice to see your ugly mug, Doubledealer."

"You're not going anywhere, trouble maker," Bumblebee beeped as he placed the electrical hand cuffs on him, "If Cliff's here, he would like to give you some punches for messing with him."

Doubledealer groaned, "What a relief that he's not. Heard that he was turned into some kind of Terrorcons." He chuckled, "If I have the chance to see it, I would be the one to screw him up for blowing up my cover."

Clenched their fists very hard, Bumblebee and Bulkhead thrust their punches at Doubledealer's guts hard for insulting their deceased friend. They don't like it very much since it's personal.

"Should have shut up, DD," Ironhide mocked.

"Is everyone alright?" Ben asked. Kevin and his team chattered in agreement. He sighed, "That's a relief. I hate to think that Tetrax and me have to drive your car and truck all the way here."

Kevin was shocked yet annoyed about his care being used. Tetrax crossed his arms, "Don't blame us, Kevin. You left your vehicles behind, so we have to move them here. You were supposed to keep an eye on Doubledealer, not engaging and chasing him all the way here."

"It wasn't our fault if that brat of Sideswipe hadn't screw it up," Kevin complained, "He's the one, who attacked and scared Doubledealer off."

Everyone was in shock and disbelief as they turned and looked at Fastlane, who looked away in shame. Rook and Sunstreaker shamefully nodded of confirmation.

"What were you thinking, Fastlane?!" Sideswipe scolded angrily. Fastlane remained silent while ignoring his father. He angrily turned his son to face him. He continued with scolding, "This isn't a game, kid! This is serious! We're fighting a war against the Decepticons and Quintessons. If you screw this up very badly, you not only get yourself hurt, but also putting the innocent lives at risk! I'm very disappointed in you, Fastlane."

Annoyed and angered by insult, Fastlane turned and snapped back at his own father, "Well, excuse me! It's not my fault if my dad wasn't around to teach me how to be smart and not doing something stupid like this!"

"Excuse me?! What did you say?!"

"You heard me, Sideswipe! It's your fault for not staying here with us, spending time with us, racing with us or even teaching me how to be smart, strong and fast as you! All you ever did is fighting these Cons! You kept saying that you guys are winning, but you're not! In fact, you actually enjoy this more than us! You'd never even care and love us as well!"

Hurt and angered by insult, Sideswipe slapped Fastlane's face, shocking his group a lot. After the slap, he saw his son's showing hurt and sad in his looks. He slowly realized of what he has done.

Sideswipe stuttered in shame, "F-Fastlane, I-!"

"Forget it," Fastlane answered dryly yet hurt and upset, "I get it. I'm not good enough for you. I'll never be. See ya back at home, 'dad'!"

Fastlane transformed into his crimson car before driving off at once, returning to his home. Everyone was a bit awkward and uneasy of the latest situation.

"That went well," Kevin commented. He sighed, "Guess he doesn't know how much Sideswipe loved his son."

"Sounds familiar?" Ben teased, making Kevin annoyed. He continued, "You and Mr. Hackett?"

Kevin groaned, "Don't push it, Tennyson. My real dad will always be Devin Levin, not Harvey Hackett."

Ben shrugged, "I didn't say 'who's a better father', Kevin."

"Just shut it," Kevin remarked dryly.

Sideswipe looked shock and hurt of what has happened. Override looked at him firmly.

"I know. I know. I screw it up," Sideswipe said in shame.

Override sighed, "You did. Fastlane was right for once. You hardly spend time with us." Sideswipe looked at her. She sighed, "I'm not saying you should abandon your friends during war against the Decepticons. I'm saying that you should at least get three month leaves to spend time with us, so we don't feel disconnected."

Sideswipe gave some thoughts, "I guess I didn't think about it. But will try."

"I'll help out too," Sunstreaker said calmly as he held his hand over his brother, "We're brothers. We'll always help out."

"For the moment now, we have someone to deal with," Ironhide said firmly and sternly while glaring at Doubledealer.

Everyone nodded in agreement with Ironhide's concerns. They're now making the return to Speedia City Hall for questioning and interrogating Doubledealer for more information.

---

Deathsaurus, Dead End, Spinister and Skywarp returned and regrouped with Barricade, Blackout and most of the Vehicon Troopers at the abandoned automotive manufacturing factory on the western part of Speedia. They reported the latest report to them. Both of them were annoyed and irritated about it.

Deathsaurus growled, "We would have completed the mission if Skywarp has taken out Doubledealer."

Skywarp groaned, "Hey, it wasn't my fault if that kid gotten in my way to finish him off." He glared at Dead End and Spinister, "If you want to blame someone, blame those two. They're having trouble of finishing the small fries! Guess the Pretender Technology really screw up their brain module."

"Oh yeah?!" Dead End asked angrily, feeling offended.

Loaded up with his blaster, Spinister hissed, "Let's test that theory of yours, Seeker!"

"Knock it off!" Barricade scolded firmly. He huffed a bit, "Even though we didn't get that traitor, at least, we have two Cons able to get inside the city hall."

Four Decepticons looked surprise. Blackout continued, "Surprisingly, Knockout and Breakdown were very fortunate to slip pass the guards and enter the city hall."

"Huh? How the heck did they do that?!" Skywarp asked in disbelief.

Barricade took out the navy-colored sphere with cyan circling patten around it, "With this. Courtesy of Nautica. The Light Bender is the perfect tool for us to infiltrate the enemy base. Knockout and Breakdown are perfect bots to do the job."

Four Decepticons looked shock and disbelief of it. Skywarp groaned, "You're kidding me?!"

"I had that same reaction as well." Blackout commented in doubted tone. He turned and looked at Barricade, "Do you believe that they can pull this off?"

Barricade scoffed, "I doubt it. But as long as they have the Light Benders, they will be fine. No one would be expecting them to be in their base now."

---

Both Team Ben and Team Ironhide returned to Speedia City Hall, bringing along with Doubledealer as their captive and prisoner. They're now at the interrogation chamber, where Doubledealer was placed. He is now seated with a table. He is also cuffed. The teams are standing inside the control panel, where they watched and witnessed the interrogation occurred.

"Just like how we wanted. We look for DD, catch him and keep the Cons away from him." Ben commented proudly. He sighed, "That was easy…"

"Too easy," Kevin disagreed suspiciously, making everyone looked at him. He continued, "Doubledealer knew that he was a wanted bot but he risked coming here. And then, the next thing you knew, he hardly fights back and escape. Why? Why would he do that?"

"Uh, Making some currency?" Bulkhead suggested, "I mean, according to Arcee, Sentinel Clone make some serious business for Quintessa's project. Quite a large budget they need to make."

Bumblebee nodded and beeped, "Not to mention, Doubledealer knew that he can't take us out since he would get himself killed. Best to surrender."

"Maybe…" Kevin admitted reluctantly, "But he's definitely come here for something."

"Something bigger than money? Who would think like that?" Argit asked in disbelief, "Certainly not me. I would do anything to make some big bucks than going after whatever I was looking for."

Guan tapped his toes firmly, "Which is why I make sure that you don't do anything foolish when I'm around here."

"Well, whatever the reason, I'm sure we'll find out," Ironhide said firmly. He turned and looked at both Team Ben and Team Ironhide. He continued, "You did your part well. Bulkhead, Tetrax and I will interrogate him. The rest of you take the break."

Everyone chatted and nodded in agreement with Ironhide's order. Most of them left the building, leaving Bulkhead and Tetrax behind for interrogating and questioning Doubledealer.

---

Now taking the break from mission, Override led both Team Ben and Team Ironhide to the Highway Racetrack Park, which was located behind of the City Hall. They found Fastlane, in his Cybertronian Crimson Car Mode, was driving in high speed across the racing track, jumping over the gap via using the ramp, making the turns on three loops of banked turn and sometimes performing and showing off his stunt moves, fighting skills and attacking the dummies and shooting target practices.

Kevin whistled, "That kid of yours got some moves."

"He is. I taught him that," Sideswipe commented. He sighed in concern, "He and I used to race together and showing off some moves. The crowd likes our performance so much."

Sunstreaker scoffed, "Yeah, right. I'm the one, who ends up cleaning your mess. For most of the time."

"Good old days?" Override asked. She, her husband and brother-in-law laughed heartily. She continued, "Go and drive with him. It will make him happy."

Sideswipe shook his head in disagreement, "I don't think so. He's still mad at me. Best to let him cool off first."

"Well, I'll talk with him. He doesn't mind me," Sunstreaker volunteered.

Bumblebee beeped, "Me too. Time to show the kid what a pro like me can do. He'd be impressed."

Sideswipe chuckled, "Doubtful, Bee. Fastlane is stubborn and cocky to think that no one can be better than him. But be my guess."

Kevin scoffed, "Fine by me. I wanna kick that kid's tailpipe for the insults he made on my car. No one insults my ride!"

"Still wouldn't let go of it," Ben commented, "I definitely would like to try my speedy aliens on these guys."

"Oh really? Think you can outrun me?" Bumblebee beeped playfully, "You can try. I used to be a champion of racing tracks from the old days."

XLR8 and Kevin looked at Sunstreaker, who smirked playfully, "Good luck trying to beat the champion."

"He's the champion?" Ben and Kevin asked in surprise.

Reaching to the finish line, Fastlane transformed back into robot mode as he stretched himself out. He then found Sunstreaker, Bumblebee, Ben and Kevin, who is already inside his care have arrived.

"What are you guys doing?" Fastlane asked in annoyance.

"Just having some fun, kiddo. You don't mind having me and a champion around, do you?" Sunstreaker asked playfully.

"Champion?" Fastlane asked in surprise. He turned and looked at Bumblebee, who pointed at him. He groaned, "This guy? You're kidding me."

Bumblebee beeped angrily, "Watch it, kid! I maybe looked young and make some beeping noise, that doesn't mean I've got no skill and speed. Trust me. They don't call me the 'Champion of Cybertronian Grand Speed Prix'!"

Fastlane scoffed, "I'd like to see you try." He turned and looked at Kevin and Ben, "What about you? Really think you can take me down?"

"I don't think I can. I know I can kick your tailpipe," Kevin snapped firmly as he started his own muscle car, "You owe me an apology!"

"About your junk? Yeah right," Fastlane disagreed. He turned and looked at Ben, "And you?"

Ben smirked as he activated and transformed into XLR8, "I would go with TransMechanoid or Fasttrack to win the race, but the classic speed alien would do the tricks."

Fastlane laughed, "As if. Everyone knows Kinecelarn is slower than Citrakayah. No way he can catch up with Cybertronian."

"Fastlane, Kinecelaran is faster than Citrakayah. Get the facts right," Sunstreaker said sternly, making Fastlane groaned in embarrassment and annoyance. He cleared his throat, "Alright, let's start the race. Hope you guys are ready for it."

"Yeah. Losing to me!" Fastlane exclaimed arrogantly, "Trust me. I'm gonna knock you two humans off the road. No way you guys can beat me in speed."

Both Kevin and XLR8 were annoyed and offended, "It is on!"

Bumblebee, Sunstreaker and Fastlane transformed into their vehicle modes. They, Kevin and XLR8 readied themselves for the race. With the signal has been given, they all charged out and started the race. Using their high speed, they have to drive through the racing tracks and obstacles such as spinning spikes, firing blasters and planks that stand in their way. They also have to drive through three loops of banked turns. Though the cars were driving very fast, XLR8 managed to keep up with them.

Sideswipe, Override, Bluestreak, Whirl, Rook, Guan and Argit were watching the event. Argit tried to sneak away for trying to find weapons and sell them. Guan firmly and angrily hold a grip on him, making sure he doesn't try to be funny.

"So many obstacles… Is this necessary?" Rook asked.

"Definitely. This kind of activity help us keep fit, go fast and swift, and also sharpened our sensors to everything," Override answered playfully, "After all, we wouldn't let our guard down, don't we?"

Rook hummed thoughtfully, "You make a good point. I don't think that my Proto-Truk could keep up with this kind of obstacle."

"Nope. It cannot," Override joked.

Whirl groaned, "I still don't get why is everyone likes cars than aircrafts. It's awesome to fly in the sky."

Override scoffed, "Not everyone enjoyed flying, Copterbot. Plus, Velocitron is about race and speed with honor and pride. Plus, flying is for cowards and cheats, and quite pathetic."

"Hey! That's very rude of you!"

"I'm sorry, Whirl. I didn't mean to be rude. I'm just telling you why we prefer cars and race than being aircrafts and flying."

Whirl scoffed, "I'll have you know that being aircraft is more than just flying. It's the feeling and connection to the sky. And believe me, I'm proud to be an aircraft that can help my friends and save the day."

Override giggled amusingly, making Whirl annoyed. She cleared her throat, "Sorry. I don't mean to laugh as a joke but irony. I also have the same thoughts about 'feeling and connection' to speed and race. Plus, I do anything to protect my home and my family. It's my job."

Whirl nodded in understandingly, "Yeah. I get it. Guess sky and land have something in common."

Override nodded, "Yeah, we do."

"Well, my Proto-Truk can travel by land, air and space as well," Rook said proudly and amusingly, "Would you like me to help me with that?!"

"Triple Changer Ability?! No thanks!" Override and Whirl snapped, scaring Rook off.

Bluestreak looked at Sideswipe, "Aren't you going to talk with your son?"

"No. Fastlane needs more time to blow off his steam," Sideswipe said firmly. He sighed in shame, "Do you think I should quit being Autobot and stayed here to be with my family?"

Bluestreak was in shock by Sideswipe's question. He exclaimed, "Y-You cannot be serious about this, Sideswipe."

Sideswipe sighed, "I am. After what happen with the kiddo today, I felt like I've been neglecting my family for too long. I don't want to abandon them. They mean so much to me. I loved them."

"Quitting the fight is not going to fix your relationship with your son. Fastlane won't immediately forgive you."

"Then, tell me what can I do to make up with my son, Bluestreak?!"

"I don't know," Bluesterak admitted firmly, "But I do know is that you fought very hard for them, and making certain that they'll be safe and never get conquered by the Decepticons. Isn't that the reason why you must continue the fight?"

Sideswipe hummed in concern yet thoughtfully, "Yeah, it is."

Bluestreak smiled a bit, "Good. But if you still want to stay with your family, I won't stop you. There are other ways to make the amends with your son. I'm sure you will win his spark back."

"I guess so," Sideswipe said in agreement with a sigh, "Thanks, buddy."

---

Ironhide, Tetrax and Bulkhead have finished interrogation with Doubledealer, who seemed to be calm and sincere. They just exited out of the chamber.

"We've got the information we need – the factories, weapons, arsenals, new technologies and so on," Bulkhead said happily. He sighed, "Didn't think that DD would be so cooperative with us. That was easy."

Ironhide hummed uneasily yet concerned, "Too easy if you ask me."

"What do you mean?" Tetrax asked.

Ironhide explained, "Doubledealer would never share the information with anyone easily, unless it's vital. Why would he give them up?"

Bulkhead shrugged, "Probably to save his metal hide from the Cons. I mean he did piss them off for helping Quintessa with weapons."

"Maybe," Ironhide said in concern.

"Either way, let's get back to the team." Tetrax said firmly, "We should debrief them for next mission now."

"Yeah. We should," Ironhide said in agreement. Two Throttlebot Guards arrived and entered the chamber. He ordered, "Take that mercenary back to holding cell. Make sure he stayed out of trouble."

Two Throttlebots nodded firmly. Ironhide, Bulkhead and Tetrax left the interrogation chamber. They entered the chamber, approaching to Doubledealer.

"Guess the holding cell is for me now," Doubledealer joked.

"Laugh it up all you want traitor," Throttlebot spoke dryly and firmly as he and his partner removed Light Bender from left shoulder, revealing Knockout and Breakdown. This revelation shocked and surprised Doubledealer. He smirked, "We'll be the ones to get the last laugh."

"Uh oh." Doubledealer said in concern. He chuckled uneasily, "Hey buddies. Long time no see?"

Breakdown scoffed as he readied with his hammer, "Yeah, not long enough. Time to end this for good."

"Indeed," Knockout agreed as he readied with his saw, "Prepare for surgery, my friend!"

"Wait! Wait! Wait! I've got something that might interest you!" Doubledealer pleaded in fear. Knockout and Breakdown ignored him as they're about to kill him. He shouted, "It has something to do with the Titan!"

Shocked by Doubledealer's claim, Knockout and Breakdown halted and lowered down their weapons. They didn't expect it but still suspicious and skeptical of him. They need to make contact with Barricade and Blackout. Breakdown stayed close to the mercenary while Knockout made contact.

"What is it, Knockout? Did you find him?" Barricade asked firmly.

"Yes, we did, Barricade," Knockout confirmed, "And we also found out of what Doubledealer's mission is."

---

Bumblebee, Sunstreaker, Fastlane, Kevin's Muscle Car and XLR8 have raced through the racing tracks for three laps. They're all equally matched with both speed and fight against the obstacles, though they often bumped and roughened against each other or even trying to overtake the first place. But at the end of results, Bumblebee won the race for managed to move ahead and reach the finishing line. All of them were panting in exhaustion while calming themselves down from the race.

Bumblebee sighed, "Still got it. Wish Raf's here to see this. He would be excited and happy to race on it."

"Pretty sure he is since you're his partner," XLR8 commented. Transforming back to his human form, Ben panted, "Wow. That's some race. I don't think I can keep up with this form."

Fastlane scoffed, "Told ya that Kineceleran is slower than Citrakayah." Everyone shouted to correct his mistake that 'XLR8 is faster'. He rolled his eyes in annoyance, "Whatever. It's the same thing. Told ya that it won't able to keep us up."

"Yeah, right. At least, I won the second while you're at third," Kevin remarked dryly, making Fastlane annoyed. He chuckled a bit, "But still, not bad. You got some moves and skills, kid. You almost had me."

Still annoyed over his loss, Fastlane sighed, "Well, yeah. Thanks. I learned from the best."

"By best, you mean your dad?" Sunstreaker asked curiously. Fastlane was surprise yet annoyed to look away. He patted his nephew's back, "Come on, kiddo. Don't be like that. You owe this move to your father. It shows that you appreciate and love him as your father."

Fastlane scoffed a bit, "Maybe. But I'm still sore of what has happened. He was mad at my screw ups."

Sunstreaker sighed, "Kid, I know your dad very well than you do. He really loves you and your mom so much, and do anything to keep you safe. Heck, he might do crazy stuffs to prove it." Fastlane stifled his laughter. He smirked while patted his nephew's spiky hair-like, "Trust me. That's your dad. Just give him the chance."

After some thinking, Fastlane nodded a bit, "Alright. I'll give him the chance."

Sideswipe, Override, Whirl, Rook, Guan and Argit arrived and meet up with their friends. While they were all chatting happily about the race, both father and son were staring and looking at each other uneasily.

"That was some race. Too bad, you're on third place," Sideswipe commented a bit, making Fastlane annoyed. He cleared his throat, "But hey, I take much worse than third place before. I was on tenth during my time."

"You're kidding?" Fastlane asked in disbelief and surprise.

Sideswipe chuckled a bit, "Yeah. I didn't do well when I became the racer. But I didn't give up and keep on trying until I get on third place. As long you keep on training, you might get higher. I'm sure you can beat Bee."

"You mean it?" Fastlane asked in surprise. Sideswipe nodded firmly. He sighed, "Dad, about what happened, I'm-!"

"There you are!" Ironhide called out, interrupting Fastlane's talk with his father. He, Bulkhead and Tetrax arrived at the scene. Everyone gathered around. He continued, "Got good news. We managed to get some serious intel from Doubledealer. We learned that Quintessa asked him to build some serious technology that could threaten everything. We have to find it and destroy it before it cost the problem. We have the location of factory. We moved out at once while some remain here to keep an eye on the mercenary."

Everyone chatted and nodded in agreement. Fastlane groaned in disappointment that he didn't get the chance to talk with his father. To his surprise, Sideswipe patted on his son's shoulder.

"Hey, don't worry, kiddo. Whatever Ironhide's planning, we work together as father and son," Sideswipe said calmly and firmly, surprising Fastlane. He smiled, "We're family, right?"

Happy to hear what his father has said, Fastlane nodded, "Yeah."

Team Ben and Team Ironhide have split their forces into two teams. One team consisted of Ben, Rook, Tetrax, Bluestreak, Ironhide, Bumblebee, Bulkhead and Whirl for investigating and destroying Doubledealer's factory for building and storing the most dangerous weapons and technologies. Another team consisted of Kevin, Guan, Argit, Override, Sideswipe, Sunstreaker and Fastlane remained at the Speedia, watching and guarding Doubledealer.

Following Doubledealer's intel, Ben and his friends used Roadbuster Wrecker Ship to fly over to the west. Almost 20km away, they've been flying across the desert and found nothing but rocks, metallic-organic plants-like and anything related to Old West theme. To their relief, Bluestreak spotted an abandoned warehouse ahead of them. They all flew straight to the location at once.

As soon as the Wrecker Ship landed on the area, the team armed and readied with their weapons while Ben transformed into Diamondhead. Just as they approached to the factory's entrance, Ironhide pushed the buttons on security console, opening the doors. Both Tetrax and Diamondhead jumped to the front as they summoned the crystallized walls from the ground for defense. The rest of Autobots are armed and aimed their weapons at their supposed enemies. But to their shock and surprise, there was no one inside the factory. It was empty.

"Empty?" Bumblebee beeped in surprise.

"That's gotta be the worst security Doubledealer ever has," Whirl commented.

Diamondhead scoffed, "I've seen much worse than this."

"Even so, we should keep our optics out for anything," Bluestreak said firmly and sternly, "No doubt that there could be ambush and trap inside."

Tetrax nodded firmly, "Yeah. We also have to make sure the weapons and technologies still here. The last thing we want is them being transferred to Quintessa and being used against us."

"Agreed," Ironhide said firmly while armed with his Cannons, "Time to blow the joint."

Bulkhead chuckled a bit while cracked his fists, "My kinda thing. Blowing up the bad guys' toys!" He sighed, "Wish Jackie was here to enjoy it."

Bumblebee beeped happily, "Yeah! Loved to see Quintessa's face for messing with us!"

Ben and his team marched and entered into the factory. They then split up for inspecting and searching for any sign of weapons and technology. Bumblebee and Bulkhead were checking on the tons of crates, which were completely empty. Bluestreak and Whirl were checking out on production line, which surprising them that there was no sign of compartments, products-in-development or even finished products. Ironhide was checking at the cargo bay, where he was shocked and surprised to find that there was no sign of ships or trucks.

Diamondhead, Tetrax and Rook were checking out at the control room, which was filled with couple of computers, desktops, keyboards, and the mechanical walls with electrical wires and some buttons. Diamondhead transformed into Brainstorm They were all looking through the computers, finding anything that involved of technologies and weapons. But to their surprise, they couldn't find anything.

Brainstorm groaned in frustration as he transformed back into Ben. He complained, "Nothing! Absolutely nothing at all! Damn it!"

"Yeah, no kidding," Tetrax agreed in concern while looking at the computers, "They've cleared everything before we get here. They'd make sure that no one will find out what Quintessa's really up to."

Ben sighed, "And I thought Julie and Gwen are so thorough with their works. She covered her tracks so well. We'll never find out of what her plan is."

"I'm certain that we will find it. We just need to look carefully," Rook said calmly and confidently with smile. Ben groaned while nodded gloomy as he continued searching. While still looking around, he accidentally pressed the button on wall, which slowly opened in two. He asked, "Huh? What the-?"

Suddenly, a podium emerged out from the wall. It revealed a golden sphere, filled with blue electrical circuit lines and couple of red spheres surrounding, and its middle is a large blue optic-like inside the glass case. Hearing the noise, Ben and Tetrax turned and get to Rook's side. They're all surprise of what they found.

"What is this?" Rook asked in surprise. Spotting a sign, he looked at it. Able to understand Cybertronian Language, he read it out, "The Magnificence? What an odd name?"

"Okay? What's so magni-! Magni-fi-fi-fi-something!" Ben grumbled as he's unable to pronounce it. He asked, "What does it do?!"

Rook hummed curiously while reading, "Interesting. The Magnificence is a unique and special technology for possessing incredible amount of knowledge and wisdom within it. It can able to grant us an immediate and accurate answers we asked upon!"

"WHAT?!" Ben asked in shock and disbelief, "You're joking!"

Rook shook his head, "I'm not, Ben. This is unexpected. To have the all-knowing technology in our hands, we could stop the conquerors and destroyers for good before they could cause so much destruction to our home! Or better yet, we can finally bring peace to the universe for good. We should use it!"

Tetrax hummed in concern, "Hold up. Something's not right. Why would someone leave this important device behind? Something's not right."

"Yeah," Ben agreed in concern, "This is too good to be true."

"I supposed you're right," Rook said understandingly. He sighed while looking at the Magnificence. He was about to grab it, "Even so, we should take it back home for further analysis and studies. And who knows? We might use it for our advantage against the enemies."

Ben and Tetrax screamed in concern, "ROOK, DON'T!"

It was too late as Rook has already grabbed the Magnificence. To him and his team's shock, the alarm blared in red with ringing out loud. And then, all computers revealed the 30 seconds countdown. This scared and shocked them.

Rook gulped, "I activate the trap, didn't I?"

"Yes, you did," Ben and Tetrax confirmed in fear.

And now, the only thing they can think and do is scream and run for their lives. Just as they exited out of the control room, they're running straight to factory's entrance while screaming 'Bomb'. Alerted by their cries and shouts, the Autobots quickly make the run out for it as well.

Just as the team got out of the factory, it exploded and blown to pieces while knocking Ben and his team off to the ground. They all groaned and moaned painfully while slowly getting up.

"Scrap! That hurts," Bulkhead complained in pain while rubbing his head, "What was that about?"

Whirl hissed, "Yeah. What did you guys do?"

"This," Rook said firmly. Everyone looked at it. He cleared his throat, "I'll explain later."

"Still. All the weapons and technologies have been transported out, and the only thing that Quintessons left is that sphere?" Ironhide asked in disbelief and shock, "What the heck?"

Ben sighed while crossed his arms, "I know. It's unexpected and stupid of them to do that. Don't understand why they left it behind."

"No. There's more," Tetrax said firmly and sternly. Everyone looked at him. He continued, "There's a reason why Doubledealer came to Speedia, knowing that he's a wanted Cybertronian by both Autobots and Decepticons. And not to mention, he was so cooperative and willingly give up most of intel to us."

"But at the same time, he already has his workers to transport and move the products out." Bluestreak added. He hummed thoughtfully, "I don't believe he wants us to find and destroy his works, but rather want us out and away from him and his true mission."

"You're kidding me?!" Whirl and Bulkhead asked in disbelief.

Bumblebee beeped in concern, "But for what? What does he and Quintessa gain from this?"

Tetrax hummed suspiciously, "I don't know. But I do know is that we've been deceived from the start!"

Suddenly, Ironhide received the call. He responded, "This is Ironhide."

"Ironhdie! We've got the situation!" Sideswipe's voice shouted in concern, "Doubledealer has escaped! Worst! More Decepticons are attacking the cities!"

"On our way! Hold the fort!" Ironhide ordered firmly. He turned and looked at his team. He exclaimed, "We have to get back to Speedia now!"

---

At the Speedia Capital City; Sideswipe, his team and the army of Throttlebot Soldiers were holding the line and fighting off the army of Decepticons. Cogman and the Rescue Units were gathering and evacuating the Velocitronians to the shelter.

Sideswipe and Fastlane teamed up to fight off Blackout and Barricade, who firmly yet fiercely and determinedly fought back. Just as Sunstreaker threw Kevin straight at some of Vehicon Troopers, the Osmosian formed himself into metallic form, using his makeshift weapons such as maces and swords to attack them. Sunstreaker was firing and blasting his blasters at Spinister and Dead End, who barely dodge and evade the attacks while firing back at him. Deathsaurus fiercely and angrily went rampage and attack her but she swiftly and quickly dodging and evading them while firing back at him. Argit was trying to escape but held by Guan, who was firing his armored Plumber Rifle at them while making sure that the con artist to fight.

Sideswipe and Fastlane dodged and evaded the attacks from Blackout's spinning Rotor Blade.

"You okay, kiddo?" Sideswipe asked.

"Yeah. I'm okay." Fastlane panted in exhaustion. He gasped before dropped on his knees, "You weren't kidding about the Cons. They're tough."

"Take five, kid. I'll handle them!" Sideswipe said firmly. Fastlane nodded as he quickly moved aside to rest. He charged and engaged both Blackout and Barricade. He swiftly dodged and evaded the attacks while swinging and clashing their blades against them. He shouted, "If you're thinking that you can ram through us and find Doubledealer, too bad for you. He's not with us! He already escaped!"

"Fool! We don't need to find him!" Blackout mocked amusingly as he grabbed and held on Sideswipe. Just before he could use his spinning Rotor Blade, he got his head hit by the silver Autobot's elbow. He grunted as he struck his blade on the chest before throwing him off. He continued, "We're just buying time."

Sideswipe grunted in pain, struggled to get up. Barricade smirked as he loaded up his Shotgun Buster, "Yeah. We're helping him to complete the mission. In-return, he will be spared from being executed."

"W-What?!" Sideswipe asked in shock and concern.

Barricade fired his Shotgun Buster at Sideswipe, who quickly rolled away before getting up. He charged and engaged another clash with Barricade and Blackout.

---

While the Decepticons were battling and distracting the Autobots and their allies at the capital city; Doubledealer, Knockout, Breakdown and Skywarp have fought and defeated most of Throttlebots while walking down the escalator, leading them straight to the city hall's basement. They all arrived at the large chamber filled with electrical wires and consoles on them.

"Gentlebots, welcome to the Chamber of Core," Doubledealer introduced warmly and proudly with a smile, "Or should I say, 'The Chamber of Titan's Spark'!"

The Decepticons awed in surprise while looking at the surroundings. Skywarp scoffed, "So, this is how Prime wakes the big guy up. Man! Just imagine if we have the Titan like Trypticon, we can total every Autobot or Human Resistance we come across! It would be easy to win!"

Breakdown snickered, "Yeah! Imagine the looks of Bulkhead and his buddies."

Though intrigued and admired the idea of having Titan on the Decepticons' side, Knockout was suspicious and skeptical. He questioned, "So, why help us, DD? Why give us the Titan? I thought you were sent here to find and get this Titan for your mistress."

"Oh yeah!" Skywarp and Breakdown commented in realization.

"And just because Barricade agreed not to execute you, doesn't mean Megatron wouldn't. He's still angry," Knockout added sternly, "What makes you think he let you go off?"

Doubledealer scoffed, "Well, I've got some interesting intel that Lord Megatron would like to hear. It involved with Quintessa's secrets, plans and some weapon designs. He would be interested."

Knockout scoffed while crossed his arms, "Well, start working on it first. Then, Lord Megatron will decide."

"My pleasure, doc," Doubledealer said amusingly. He approached to the center of the room. He took out a pure golden colored Autobot badge. He aimed it at the large spark core-like. As if it was responding, the core glowed brightly in blue. A control leveler slowly emerged out from the ground. He smirked as he approached towards it. Just as he held on it, he declared, "Time to wake up, Navitas."

Doubledealer pulled down the leveler. The whole chamber was quaking and shaking wildly and madly as the walls began shifting and moving, changing its appearance. The Decepticons yelped and awed in surprise by the sudden transformation. And at the same time, he took out and threw an insect-like Cerebro-Shell device on the Core.

Doubledealer smirked proudly, "Ka-Ching, baby! I've got the goods now!"

---

As Kevin and his team were battling and fighting the Decepticons, the whole ground was shaking and quaking very hard, shocking and causing everyone to fall on the ground. And at the same time, they also found something unusual with city blocks were shifting and moving around as well as locking the residents inside.

"What's happening?!" Sunstreaker asked in concern and fear.

"I-I don't know! Speedia never have the earthquake before for a long time! Even if it does, the city shouldn't be affected!" Override exclaimed in concern while thinking of the situation. She gasped, "Oh no!"

"What is it?!" Sideswipe asked in concern.

Override shouted, "We have to get to the City Hall now!"

"On it!" Fastlane exclaimed firmly.

"Fastlane, don't go solo!" Sideswipe shouted in concern. Fastlane transformed into his Cybertronian Crimson Car, driving off and heading to the basement. He grunted, "I've gotta stop him!"

"I don't think so!" Barricade exclaimed as he jumped and kicked at Sideswipe's chest. He smirked as he armed with his Black Belt Nunchucks, "You've got us to deal with!"

Blackout chuckled as he armed with his Rotor Blades, "Indeed. We're not done yet!"

Sunstreaker groaned, "Just what we need!"

"Don't worry, I'll get him!" Kevin called out.

After boarding into his muscle car, Kevin drove off and trying to catch up with Fastlane, who was already driving off to City Hall. Sideswipe and his team were battling and fighting off Barricade and his team while trying to reach to their destination.

---

Ben and his team boarded inside the Roadbuster Wrecker Ship, blasting off to the sky. They fly as fast as they can to return to the Speedia. However, upon their arrival, they found something shocking and disbelieving. The capital city is slowly shifting, moving and changing couple of city blocks and residents as if it was transforming. It has turned into a 120ft tall reddish-orange colored female armored Cybertronian Titan warrior with a large greenish sphere-like window on chest, caterpillar wheels formed a larger armored hand and legs, her head is silver colored knight-like with spikers and has a mask plate on her face. Navitas roared out loud.

Whirl screamed, "By Alpha Trion's Beard!"

"It cannot be," Bluestreak said in disbelief.

Bulkhead nodded in agreement and feared, "I'm with you, Blue. I couldn't believe it too."

"W-What is that?!" Tetrax asked in shock and disbelief.

"I-It's huge! Huge as Way Big!" Rook exclaimed in shock.

"The Titan," Ironhide answered in shock, "The giant Cybertronians that once served as the guardians, warriors and bodyguards to Thirteen Primes and Cybertron. Never thought I would find out that there's still more alive."

"Great. First, the bots can turn into cars and planes or turn into both. Then, the bots can turn into any kind of animals. They even have little ones, literally animals and also some robots can combine into one big robotoo. And now, this Way Big Type of Robot!" Ben exclaimed in shock and disbelief. He groaned, "Just how many types you guys have?!"

Autobots looked at each other while shrugged in uncertain. Bulkhead answered uneasily, "Too many. Many bots come with different kind of forms."

"Think this is what Doubledealer was after?" Bumblebee asked in concern.

Ironhide hissed, "Looks like it, Bee. Titans are the rarest subspecies among the Cybertronians. They may be gigantic beings, but they're very difficult to find. Only the Primes can do that. But problem is that no one knows what happen to them after the Age of Primes. Some said they died on battles. Others believed that they turned into fortresses or ships in stasis."

"Until now," Rook said firmly. He hissed while looking at Navitas marched out. He asked, "What's next?"

"We stop Doubledealer for good," Ironhide said firmly and sternly, "But we also need to stop the Titan from moving to who knows where she's going. If she reached to Quintessa-!"

"Yeah. We'd be in big trouble," Whirl said in concern.

Bumblebee beeped in fear, "Sure wish Metroplex was alive to help us."

Bulkhead nodded, "Yeah. He was the only Titan we could count on."

"Well, you have another Titan now," Ben said confidently and proudly. He activated his Omnitrix, dialing down to Way Big hologram. He smirked, "I'll deal with her while you guys find and stop Doubledealer! It's Hero Time!"

Just before anyone could stop him, Ben jumped off the Roadbuster Wrecker Ship. He dived straight at Navitas. He slammed on his Omnitrix, transforming into Way Big. He slammed to the ground. He stood firmly before the Velocitronian Titan. He armed and readied himself for a serious fight.

"About time to fight someone on my size! I seriously have a hard time to fight somebots able to outsmart and take me down easily. So not cool," Way Big exclaimed firmly. Navitas growled angrily. He continued, "Hey, pal. You seem nice and a good guy. Let's try talk this out."

Navitas screamed angrily as she charged and rammed Way Big straight at the large rocky wall. He groaned in pain while rubbing his left-sided head.

"Man, that hurts." Way Big grunted. He looked up and found Navitas glared at him. He sighed, "Guess we do the hard way."

Way Big firmly stood up while readied in a position for the fight. Navitas growled a bit before roared out again. She charged and attacked him at once. She fiercely thrust her punches at him. He used his forehands to block and withstand the attacks for the moment. He then used a headbutt on her head before kicked her off. Both of them began punching at each other fiercely and determinedly. And at the same time, Way Big did his best not to use his full strength to defeat due to Navitas has the civilians and allies inside her.

While both To'kustar and Cybertronian Titan were fighting each other, Roadbuster Wrecker Ship was flying straight towards Navitas's head. However, it was dodging and evading her turrets' firing blasts and missiles at them. Not only that, they also avoided from being slammed and struck down by two fierce Titans' fighting with each other.

"Should we remind Ben about civilians?" Bumblebee asked in concern.

Bulkhead nodded, "Yeah. If he uses too much strength…"

"Don't worry, Ben got this. He's not really going to go supernova on them," Tetrax said confidently, "He's just buying time for us to stop the Titan."

Heard the calling, Ironhide responded to it. He heard Sideswipe's call, "Ironhide, we could use some help here! Cons and Doubledealer are working together again!"

"Seriously?!" Ironhide asked in disbelief. He groaned, "We'll get there soon! Hang on!"

"I thought Decepticons have severed their ties with Doubledealer?" Rook asked in shock and disbelief.

"Rook, the bounty hunters and mercenaries are willing to compromise and give up whatever the mission they have to save their own lives." Tetrax said firmly and sternly, "Meaning that he's giving Megatron the advantage to take over the Earth!"

"Not gonna happen!" Ironhide snapped firmly. He turned to Whirl, "Whirl, get us there now! Wrecker Style!"

"Aye, aye, Captain!" Whirl exclaimed happily. He whistled, "Wrecker Style! Ramming the ship to the eye of Titan, matey!"

"Oh no…" Bluestreak said in disbelief and shock, "Not this again…"

Bulkhead chuckled, "Oh yeah! Hurricane Ram! Here we come!"

Rook panicked and screamed, "Are you mad?!"

"What's the matter, kitty? Afraid of getting crash?" Whirl asked playfully before chuckled, "I'm a Wrecker. We do some crazy stuffs like this! Let's get wild!"

"Hold onto your seatbelt!" Bluestreak shouted in fear.

Whirl gave a loud battle cry as he pushed down his handler, making his Roadbuster Wrecker Ship was flying straight at Navitas. Turrets and missiles were still firing laser beams and missiles at the ship, but it dodged and evaded the attacks while flying straight at its destination. Just as it arrived, the ship rammed through chest-like windows as it crash-landed.

Navitas roared angrily and wildly as she unleashed her turrets' laser beams and missiles at Way Big. He yelped in shock as he barely dodges and evade the attacks. And at the same time, his gauntlet's fin-like blades glowed in green as he swung and launched his Blade Cutters to deflect and destroy both laser beams and missiles, and even the turrets. This angered and annoyed Navitas to charge and attack Way Big, who dodge and evade the attacks while push, punch, kick and repel her off.

---

Inside Navitas's chest, the Roadbuster Wrecker Ship has crashed on the wall hard. Ironhide and his team groaned in pain, slowly emerged out from the ship before falling down on the ground.

"Woohoo! Best crash landed ever!" Whirl cheered.

"I can see why you don't like it, Bluestreak…" Rook commented in shock.

Bluestreak groaned, "You have no idea. Out of all the stunts he pulled, Whirl's Hurricane Ram is the worst."

Ironhide and his team looked up and found Sideswipe's Team and Throttlebots were battling and fighting off the Decepticons. They all jumped and joined their allies to fight off the enemies.

"About time you got here!" Override exclaimed in annoyance while firing her blaster at the enemies.

"Yeah. Well, we sort of come across the Titan Problem," Ironhide grumbled while punching and knocking the Vehicon Troopers hard. He turned and looked at Override, "Did you know that your city can literally turned into a Titan?"

Override hissed, "No. But I've always been warned that no one allowed to enter and access to the Core Chamber because it kept our city power for years. Never thought it was the Titan's!"

"Yeah, no kidding!" Sideswipe said firmly, "My kid and Kevin are heading to Core Chamber. They're trying to Doubledealer."

Ironhide nodded firmly, "Go! Bumblebee! Bulkhead! Rook! Help him!"

Sideswipe, Bumblebee, Bulkhead and Rook nodded firmly. The Autobots transformed into their vehicles mode to drive off. The Revonahgander boarded his Proto-Truk, following after him at once. Ironhide and the rest of team were fighting and holding off the Decepticons.

Ironhide was engaging and fighting Blackout in fierce brawl. Override was battling with Barricade. Sunstreaker facing off Deathsaurus. Bluestreak and Whirl were teamed up to face off Spinister and Dead End. Both Throttlebot Warriors and Vehicon Troopers battled each other fiercely. The reluctant Argit and Guan were helping the team to face off the enemies.

Long waited for his fight to finish, Blackout fiercely swung and struck his Rotor Blades at his rival, who firmly deflect and pushed the attacks aside for three times before dodged down and rammed him off. He swung and knocked Ironhide off to the wall. He charged and slammed couple of punches on him for few times. Barely blocked and held the attack, he gave him a headbutt before kicked him off. He rammed and slammed him to the ground. Ironhide slammed and struck couple of punches at Blackout, who firmly and determinedly withstand the attacks before fired and blasted Shockwave Cannon. Armed with both Marauder Gatling Blaster and Heavy Bombard Cannon, Blackout fired at Ironhide, who firmly and swiftly dodged the attacks while firing Ion Cannon and Missile Cannon back at him, though both sides have missed or clashed each other. Ironhide transformed into his pickup truck as he charged and rammed at Blackout, who barely transformed into MH53 Pave Low Helicopter to ascend to the sky. He transformed and slammed his opponent to the ground. Just before Blackout could do anything, Ironhide fired his Missile Cannon to blast him off. Just as they both firmly got up, they both resumed their fight again.

Sunstreaker yelped in fear as he was running and dodging Deathsaurus's Dragon Form, who has unleashed his Dragon Flames and swinging his claws on him. For a couple of times, he dodged the attacks but came across a dead end as the dragon was about to ram him. Instead of stopping, he kept on running straight at the wall, climbing and jumping off, landing on the back of the dragon. This angered and annoyed Deathsaurus to go wild and shaking him off. Sunstreaker screamed and panicked frantically while trying to hold onto him. They were still having rodeo for the moment; the dragon's wing managed to swap and knock him off. Just as the yellow robot recovered, he found the dragon was about to unleash his flames again. He quickly armed and fired his artillery weapons at him, making him to back off. Just as he transformed, Deathsaurus charged and attacked Sunstreaker, who got knocked aside hard. Just before he could finish him off, he got blasted and shot by Guan and worried Argit. This allows Sunstreaker to fight back against Deathsaurus, who fought back as well.

Bluestreak and Whirl were battling the Vehicon Troopers, and at the same time, they were fighting off Spinister and Dead End. Just as Whirl transformed into his helicopter, Spinister did the same thing and fired his missiles at him, which the one-eyed Autobot barely dodge and escape. This angered and annoyed to chase and firing at him, who also fired back at him. Bluestreak and Dead End have a fierce brawl fight against each other. The Decepticon Gangster was annoyed and irritated due to the Autobot Lieutenant blocked and deflected the attacks for few times until the former activated his Spike Knuckles to punch and knock him off. He charged and attacked him relentlessly, though Bluestreak barely block and deflect the few of attacks before kicked him off. Both of them resumed the fight.

Override and Barricade were facing off at each other while armed and readied with their blasters. They then opened fire and blasted at each other. However, her right hand got shot while the Decepticon Scout has evaded the blast. He continued firing his Shotgun Buster at her. She barely yet swiftly and quickly dodged and evaded couple of blasts before threw a knife at his left shoulder. She charged and kicked him off. She then launched couple of punches against him. He firmly dodged and evaded the attacks while mockingly push and knock her off for few times. Just as she launched a punch on his head, he dodged down and struck a punch on her guts before kicked her off. Just before he could finish her off, he got slammed by Spinister and Dead End.

Override grunted in pain as she struggled to get up. Whirl and Bluestreak arrived and helped her to stand up. She was surprised yet relieved and happy that she got helped. She nodded firmly to them, who nodded back as well. They turned and fought against Barricade, Spinister and Dead End.

---

Back at the Core Chamber, Doubledealer was using the Cerebro-Shell Controller, controlling Navitas while looking at the holographic screen, involving of her fighting Way Big. Knockout, Breakdown and Skywarp were keeping an eye on him, making sure that he wasn't trying to double cross with them.

Suddenly, the door got opened and revealed Fastlane's crimson car. He rammed through both Knockout and Skywarp before slammed Breakdown to the ground. He transformed into his robot mode. He jumped and slammed his sword at Doubledealer, who dodged down before kicked him off. Skywarp and Breakdown came and held him by shoulders.

Doubledealer groaned, "You've got some motor oil, kid. But made a poor move. You should have gotten outta of here."

"Why don't you get out of here?! This is my home!" Fastlane exclaimed angrily and annoyingly, "Frag you, Con!"

Doubledealer swung and slapped his hand at Fastlane's face, "Learn to respect the elder, kid. Or else…"

"Or else this?!" Kevin shouted.

The Decepticons looked back and found a greenish muscle car was charging at them while firing both turrets and missiles at them. They all barely dodge and evade the attacks, though Knockout got missile hit again. Kevin quickly got out as his muscle car rammed and knocked Doubledealer off. It then caused the explosion on him.

Kevin approached to Fastlane. He asked, "You okay?"

"Yeah." Fastlane said in surprise. He looked at the exploded and damaged car. He turned to Kevin as he was shocked to ask, "B-but that was your car! Why?!"

Kevin groaned in annoyance, "I'm used to it. Anyway, that car could use some serious upgrade and improvement. Plus, your old man would be pretty mad to see his kid get killed. Kinda reckless of you."

Fastlane scoffed, "I could say the same thing to you, punk."

"I am a punk, punk," Kevin insulted playfully before he and Fastlane laughed heartily.

"You idiots! Look what you did!" Knockout screamed angrily. Fastlane and Kevin looked at him and his friends. He pointed as his whole body, covered by more dents, burnt ashes and scratches, "You ruined my perfect paintjob?! Again! I really hate this! A LOT!"

Kevin whistled, "Looks like an improvement."

Fastlane chuckled, "Yeah. It's a good look for you. Your name is 'Knockout'. Fitful name. For screwing up your own looks."

Angered and annoyed by mockery, Knockout screamed as he armed with his saw, "That's it! Prepare for surgery!"

Doubledealer groaned, "Yes! Let's get rid of them now!"

Suddenly, the honk was sounded. The Decepticons turned and looked back as they found more Autobots and Proto-Truk are charging straight at them. The Autobots transformed into their robot modes. Bulkhead charged and rammed Breakdown off. Bumblebee kicked Knockout off. Sideswipe clashed his Twin Chrome Swords against Skywarp. Rook used his Proto-Truk in Spaceship Mode to fire his turrets and missiles at Doubledealer, throwing and pushing him back.

Proto-Truk made a halt in front of Kevin and Fastlane. Rook climbed down from his truck. He passed Mark 12 Techadorian Multiblaster to Kevin.

"Thought you could use it," Rook said firmly and determinedly.

Kevin smirked as he touched the ground, forming his own Metallic Form while armed with his blaster, "Definitely."

"Great. More little pests…" Doubledealer complained while armed and readied with his blasters and missile launcher on right shoulder. He scoffed, "This shouldn't be the problem coz I'm gonna get more paycheck."

Doubledealer fired his missile at Fastlane and his two friends, who barely dodge and evaded the attacks. Fastlane dashed and engaged Doubledealer in a serious fight. Rook and Kevin boarded inside the Proto-Truk to take off. While flying around the enemy, Kevin fired his Mark 12 Techadorian Multiblaster at him from the rooftop while Rook piloted and fired his spaceship's blaster at him. This distracted Doubledealer while allowed Fastlane to fight and gain upper-hand against him.

Knockout swung and struck his saw at Bumblebee, who firmly and swiftly dodge and evade the attacks while punching back at his face and chest for few times before kicked him off. Just as the Autobot Scout was about to step on him, the mad doctor grunted as he managed to turn and thrust his electrical staff on his neck, shocking him before kicked him off. Just as Bumblebee recovered, he struggled to fight Knockout, who continued swinging and thrusting his electrical staff on him. While moving back for three to five pace to dodge the attack, the Autobot Scout quickly struck a punch at the mad doctor's face twice before kicked him off. Both of them fought and battled against each other firmly.

Bulkhead and Breakdown fiercely and determinedly swung and struck their maces and hammers on each other for couple of times. Just as the Autobot Wrecker swung his mace on the head, the Decepticon Brute dodged down and rammed him straight against the wall hard, where he brutally and relentlessly punched and attacked him for couple of times. Luckily, the green Autobot barely dodge before giving the headbutt before swung and struck his maces on his rival's head thrice before thrown him off. This angered and annoyed him as he fired his three missiles at him. He barely dodged and evaded the attacks but got his face hammered. He grunted and tried to recover. Breakdown charged and rammed at his rival. Regain little of his conscience, Bulkhead quickly grabbed and thrown him at Knockout, who was almost about to electrocute Bumblebee. Regrouping with his best friend, both Bumblebee and Bulkhead charged and engaged Knockout and Breakdown.

Armed with their weapons, Skywarp and Sideswipe were facing off at each other. Both of them fiercely and determinedly charged and fought against each other for couple of rounds. The Autobot Swordsman proved to be fast and swift while the Decepticon Seeker was strong and mad for the fight, though both of them seemed to be equal. Both of them continued swing and clashing their blades against each other for couple of rounds, the purple colored Decepticon swung and struck his left mace to trip his enemy's leg before slamming him on his face. Just as the silver Autobot tried to recover and get up, Skywarp charged and attacked Sideswipe, who barely blocked and deflected the attacks. He fiercely swung his sword against him, who continued blocking and deflecting the former's attacks for few times. Just as Skywarp swung his maces from both sides, Sideswipe dodged down and then kicked him by guts. He charged and fought back, making him panicked frantically and fearfully to block and deflect the attacks.

Fastlane was facing off Doubledealer, who has proven to be strong and tough for him to handle. The mercenary swung and slammed his broadsword at the young Velocitronian, who swiftly and quickly dodge and evade the attacks quickly before dashed and swiftly strike at him. And at the same time, Rook was driving and piloting his Proto-Truk while Kevin was firing his Mark 12 Techadorian Multiblaster at him. Despite the attacks they have put off, Doubledealer didn't seemed to be fazed or hurt by their attacks. In fact, he was watching their movement carefully and waiting to strike at the right moment. As he planned, he quickly grabbed and slammed Proto-Truk at Fastlane thrice, weakening him. And at the same time, Rook and Kevin felt nauseate due to Doubledealer swinging the truck at the young red Velocitronian. Just as he slammed and struck the Proto-Truk on Fastlane's face, Doubledealer kicked him off before firing his missile and turrets at him, injuring him while damaging the truck.

"Too easy…" Doubledealer mocked amusingly with a chuckle. Armed with his broadsword, he aimed it at Fastlane, "Don't like killing the hatchling and small bots. But anyone get in my way, sorry to say that I'll make this exceptional."

Fastlane groaned in pain while feeling chest damaged, "Scrap…"

Just before Doubledealer could finish Fastlane off, Skywarp gone thrown and slammed on him off to the ground. Sideswipe arrived and came to Fastlane's side. He helped his son up.

"You okay, kiddo?" Sideswipe asked.

"Yeah. Thanks," Fastlane said in relief. He and his father turned and faced Doubledealer, who moved and kicked unconscious Skywarp aside. He hissed, "Think we can take him down?"

"As a team, yes. We need to be swift and quick. Up for it?"

"Oh yeah. Speed is my middle name."

"Good! Show me your speed!"

Doubledealer groaned, "Just what I need. More annoyance." He scoffed, "Well, if I take down more Autobots, Lord Megatron can finally drop some charges on me. Bring it on, speedies!"

Armed with his broadsword, Doubledealer charged and attacked Sideswipe and Fastlane, who swiftly and quickly dodge and evaded the attacks for couple of times. And at the same time, they also fought back by punching and swinging their blades against him. Due to his armored body and couple of arsenals; he has proven to be formidable and strong for them to handle and overcome. However, they refused to stop or surrender as they continued fighting back against him.

The Proto-Truk was badly damaged due to Doubledealer has used it like a ragging doll at Fastlane before thrown out and nearly blown up. Kevin and Rook grunted in pain, slowly recovering and getting up.

"Rook, you okay, man?" Kevin asked in pain.

"I am. But my Proto-Truk isn't," Rook hissed in pain while looking at Sideswipe and Fastlane struggled to fight and defeat Doubledealer. He groaned, "We have to help them."

Kevin grunted, "Yeah, how? That guy is made of tank! Nothing can pierce through him. Not to mention, we need get the mind control device from the core too!"

Giving some serious thoughts, Rook looked at his damaged Proto-Truk, "Kevin, I might have the idea…"

Sideswipe and Fastlane continued struggling against Doubledealer, who firmly endured their attacks while mockingly and amusingly punched and knocked them aside easily. After he kicked them off to the wall, they both recovered before charged and thrust their swords at his eyes but he dodged down before thrust his punches on their guts. He then has their heads grabbed and held up.

"Is that the best you've got?" Doubledealer taunted mockingly. He scoffed as he slowly tightened and crushed on Sideswipe and Fastlane's heads, "Like father and son. Don't know when to quit and always want to die."

BOOM! Doubledealer grunted in pain, feeling the blasts on his back. He turned back and found a damaged Proto-Truk flying straight at him. He got rammed and knocked on his back while unintentionally letting go of Sideswipe and Fastlane. He grunted in pain, slowly getting up and Proto-Truk was flying before him. It aimed and fired its turrets at him.

"I've had enough of this game! Time to go wasted!" Doubledealer snapped in anger as he armed with his Armored Deal Blaster.

Doubledealer blasted it at the Proto-Truk. At the very last moment, the spaceship dodged down, allowing the blast passed it by, hitting and destroying Cerebro-Shell to pieces. To his shock and disbelief, he screamed in anger and agony that he destroyed his own device of controlling the Titan.

During the Titan Battles, Way Big did his best to dodge and evade the attacks from Navitas while also trying to hold her down as long as he can until his friends find and stopped Doubledealer from using her, though he has struggles to do so. The mind-controlled Navitas was aggressively and relentlessly punching and attacking him for countless rounds until she kicked him straight at the tower-like mountain.

Way Big grunted in pain as he struggled to get up. Navitas, armed with her one punch, screaming angrily as she slammed it right at his best. Just as he was about to brace the impact, he didn't feel anything. He looked up and found she halted at once before dropped on her knees and nearly fall down. Way Big quickly grabbed and held her.

"Hey, you okay, buddy?" Way Big asked.

Navitas panted heavily with her calm yet tired voice, "Yes… Thank you…"

"No problem," Way Big commented with a smile. He yelped in realization, "Wait! You're a girl?"

"Yeah. What's wrong with that?"

"Nothing."

---

Shocked and angered to see his work to control Titan is gone, Doubledealer turned and glared at the damaged Proto-Truk. Armed with his Armored Deal Blaster, he declared, "No one screw my deal with client off! Time to die, small fries!"

Just before Doubledealer could do anything, he got his left hand cut off by Sideswipe while Fastlane cut on his right leg before they punched on his face very hard. Rook and Kevin set the spaceship in automatic drive before they jumped off and landed on two Autobots' palms to catch. Just as the mercenary struggled to balance himself, he found Proto-Truk was flying and ramming him straight at the wall, got himself electrocuted and shocked before exploded. Doubledealer was gravely wounded by the attacks.

Just as Doubledealer was recovering, he found Sideswipe, Fastlane, Kevin and Rook armed and aimed their weapons at him.

"It's over, Doubledealer. You've lost," Sideswipe said firmly.

Doubledealer gave a confident smirk, "Maybe. But I did what I have to do…"

Just before anyone could ask, Doubledealer has his right hand to take out the device, pushing and activating its system. The Groundbridge Portal appeared. To the Autobots' shock and surprise, all of the Decepticons including Barricade and his team arrived and ran through the portal. This prompted everyone including Ironhide and his team to arrive and fire at them. But the Decepticons have already made their escape as the portal closed down.

Though upset and annoyed that their enemies have escaped, the Autobots and Throttlebots were relieved and happy that they have won the battle and save the Speedia/Navitas. Ironhide even received the news that Julie and her friends have destroyed the Quintesson's Warehouse, preventing more of black-market sales for Cybertronian Weapons and Technology to the world.

Navitas transformed back into her city form, realizing and found out that many of civilians and friends were trapped inside. Ben, using his Big Chill, return and regroup with his team and heard the news as well.

Ben sighed happily, "Man, that's great to hear. Just glad she's alright."

"Just as Gwen told you that she and her friends will look after her," Tetrax said calmly.

"Yeah." Ben said in agreement. He turned and found Guan was putting the cuffs on Argit. He asked, "Dude, what was that about?"

"Holding him as a prisoner for attempt to steal Velocitronian technology and jewelries again," Guan reported firmly, surprise Ben. He continued, "May I remind you that he's a thief and con artist."

Argit groaned, "Jeez. Would you chill, buddy?! I was just gonna get some non-lethal tech for sales. The guy needs to do for the living. And I helped you guys with stopping these guys from making business out of Cybertronian Tech."

Though annoyed and irritated by Argit's complains, he does have the point. Ben spoke, "Let him go, Guan. He earned it."

Guan rolled his eyes in annoyance as he removed the cuffs from Argit's hand. Tetrax approached to Guan, "You did well, Guan. So, did Ayame. We appreciate it for all the help you both make. In fact, Max and I have been thinking about inviting you to join our team."

"Sir?" Guan asked in surprise.

Tetrax continued, "We would like you and Ayame to join us."

Ben nodded, "Yeah. This might help Rook make his dream come true for getting Revonnahganders to visit other galaxies and make business. And of course, making the humans open-minded that aliens and humans can work together as a team."

"So, what do you think?" Tetrax asked.

Guan, surprised yet pleased, nodded firmly, "I am honored. So does Ayame."

Ben smiled, "Welcome to the team, Guan."

"Thank you. Thank you very much," Guan said while bowed humbly and proudly with a devilish smirk, thinking to initiate Phase III and Phase IV. He commented, "You won't regret it."

Still feel ashamed and upset of how he reacted to his father, Fastlane approached to Sideswipe, who was talking with Override. It's time for him to make amends for not realizing that his father does care for him and his family.

"Dad…" Fastlane called. Sideswipe turned and looked at him. He sighed shamefully, "Can we talk?"

Sideswipe smiled and nodded, "Sure. What's up, kid?"

"I'm so sorry, dad," Fastlane apologized, surprising Sideswipe. He continued, "For being a jerk and stupid. Not realizing that fighting the Cons aren't easy as I thought. I finally get it why you have to help the Bots to stop them like today. I finally get that you still love us. Sorry for not realizing it sooner."

Touched and surprised by his son's words, Sideswipe kneeled down before his young son. He gently patted his shoulder, "Kiddo, it's okay. I'm also sorry for getting mad at you. I'm glad that you finally get me." He sighed before smiled at him, "But I promise you that I'll be home for you and your mom."

Fastlane smiled happily before hugged his father, "It's okay, dad. Come home when you're not working. I don't mind waiting."

Sideswipe smiled a bit, "Don't worry, I won't make you waiting. Not ever again."

Fastlane nodded, "I know."

Sunstreaker sighed, "About time that those two finally get along."

"No kidding. Glad to see them finally work it out," Override said warmly. She then turned and looked at Kevin and Rook, who were busy looking at the destruction site of their transports. She asked, "Guess you hate seeing your cars like that, don't ya?"

"Ya. It's gonna cost a lot," Kevin grumbled.

Rook nodded, "Indeed. It'll take months or a year to do so. Even if they did sell this kind of transports, we don't have enough currency to pay for them."

"I see…" Override said sympathetically while thinking a way to help them. She smiled happily as she has the idea. She kneeled down before them. She spoke, "If it makes you two happy. My mechanics will provide the necessary tools and materials to repair them, with free of charge."

Both Kevin and Rook yelped in surprise as they turned and looked at Override, "Really?!"

Override nodded, "Really. A token for saving my home and my people. We're in your debts."

Kevin smiled a bit, "Thanks, Override. But I'll supervise the car repairs. I don't like mess up."

"Agreed," Rook nodded in agreement, "I shall assist as well."

Override giggled a bit while thinking about the damages of city, "Sure, no problem. Plus, your cars aren't the only thing we need to repair."

Ironhide and his team were looking at the Titan's Core, thinking over their recent victory.

Whirl sighed, "I loved the happy ending. It always make me happy."

Bulkhead sighed, "Good thing that we stopped Doubledealer from getting the Titan. I hate to think what Decepticons would do with her."

"Yeah. It's a good thing that she's the only one," Bumblebee beeped.

Ironhide hummed uneasily, "Is she? Or were there more of them?"

Bluestreak then looked at the Magnificence, "Not to mention, we have this latest device on our hands. Is it helping us or sending us to doom?"

---

Inside the deepest and largest cavern, Quintessa has received the latest report from her scientist about Doubledealer's failures. She looked annoyed and disappointed of her failed persuasion with Julie and her mercenary's failure to get the Titan to her.

"How disappointed that Pretender Class J579 has rejected my offer yet again. A few of the warehouses have been destroyed on this planet. Sentinel's blunder as always. Doubledealer failed to deliver the Titan to me," Quintessa said in disappointment. She smiled calmly, "Nevertheless, I'm not dreadful of it. There are some successes that I'm pleased with."

Summoning the holographic screen, Quintessa looked at it carefully and pleasingly. The screen revealed thousands and more of The Magnificence spreading across the galaxy. She shifted to another screens – the Cybertronian Black Market sales chart bars increased for sales and the locations of Titans. She smiled pleasingly and proudly of the results.

Quintessa commented calmly, "Doubledealer did exactly what I've requested. Thousands of the Magnificence have been delivered to the governments for their personal use or 'greater good'. Cybertronian Black Market continued spread across the galaxy, other than the Earth. And now, I have the locations of Titans. And of course, he shall provide Megatron what he needed for his war against the Autobots and Plumbers."

Quintesson Goddess turned her attention to two mysterious yet badly damaged and dismantled titanic figures lied against the wall. They were covered by scaffoldings and catwalks, filled with Quintesson Labors and Scientists to study, analyze and work on them, as well as repairing their damages.

"Buying enough time for my master plan. And soon, Zarak and Metroplex, you both shall be the key to awaken your kind and end my enemies," Quintessa said calmly and amusingly, "Everything will transpire of what I've visioned. To finish what I've started from millennia years."

---

Barely escaped the Autobots and Throttlebots, the Decepticons and Doubledealer managed return to their dropship. They quickly boarded into the ship before taking off to the space. Using the Dark Matter Drive, they're returning to the Earth, rendezvous with Nemesis.

Both Dead End and Spinister returned to the Ravagers and S.E.C.T. as they continued their duties as both spy and infiltrator. Breakdown helped repairing, waxing and cleaning Knockout's damages and scratches. Deathsaurus returned to his quarter for peace and quiet. Skywarp went to the lab as he asking annoyed Nautica to repair his maces. Barricade and Blackout brought Doubledealer before Megatron, Starscream and Soundwave.

"Doubledealer…" Megatron said dryly and annoyingly while armed with his Fusion Cannon, "It's been a while."

"L-Lord Megatron…" Doubledealer said in fear. Just as the Decepticon Lord aimed his Fusion Cannon at him, he spoke frantically, "Wait, Lord Megatron! Don't finish me off. I have something that you might be interested!"

"Is that so?" Megatron asked curiously and amusingly, "What secrets does your former client possess?"

"Everything…" Doubledealer answered calmly as he took out the Magnificence before Megatron. He continued, "Behold, the Magnificence. A device that housed all knowledge that can answer whatever questions and problems you have such as reveal what kind of weapons that Quintessa has."

As responded, the Magnificence activated and revealed the holographic scenes of weapons, arsenals and technologies that Quintessa and her minions were using. The Decepticons chattered and muttered in surprise of what they're looking at.

"Promising…" Megatron said firmly and amusingly. He then come across to a large Quartz Crystallized teleporter pod-like machinery. He hummed intriguingly, "What is this?"

"That is the Dimension Bridge, Lord Megatron. It allows you to travel to any kind of dimensions," Doubledealer answered calmly, "Here's an interesting fact, my lord. Should you ever encounter and meet your alternatives, you would able to merge with them and become much stronger and powerful than before. Or better yet, learn of your future state and change it."

"Is that so?" Megatron asked intriguingly. After some time of thinking and looking at the Dimension Bridge, he smirked darkly, "Starscream, Soundwave, Doubledealer, begin the construction of Dimension Bridge. I would like to meet and have some of my counterparts to join and merge with me. They shall serve me well to complete the total conquest for good…"

"Yes, my lord…" Starscream and Doubledealer responded firmly while Soundwave just nodded only.

Author's Notes:

1. This episode is based on OTTO Motives from Ben 10 Omniverse.

2. Navitas and the Magnificence are from Transformers IDW Comic.

3. Fastlane is Sideswipe from Transformers: Robots in Disguise, the sequel to Transformers Prime. I added him to show there's a connection between two shows and why there were different Sideswipes, much like IDW Comics. And of course, they're father and son as well, along with Override and Sunstreaker part of their family.

4. Originally, OTTO was meant to appear as Doubledealer's Pretender Disguise and he's responsible for almost trapping Argit and Kevin in the Null Void. But that wouldn't make sense that he has the Pretender Technology or the fact that Velocitronians actually welcomed and met small beings into their planet. So, I removed him.
