Surprisingly true to his word, Scourge got up, dusted himself off, and then headed towards the beast totem. He was planning to hand it over to Optimus and the Autobots, though Optimus and the others kept a close optic on the dragon bot. Scourge touched the totem and caused it to return to its key form, as he figured that would be the way Optimus and the others would want it. Optimus congratulated and thanked Lancex as Scourge handed over the key. Inside Gundam, Lancex smiled, and spoke through the Gundam saying it was no big deal.

Soon, though, it was time to head back to the base. And while Leobreaker and the others prepared to head back, Snarl and Scourge felt drawn to help the Autobots. "When we get back, May I work on Destiny Gundam?" Lancex asked.

"Absolutely" Optimus answered.

"Wait! We want to come with you as well. We want to join the Autobots" Scourge announced regarding himself and snarl, who nodded at what Scourge had said.

"We can always use more soldiers to help us on our mission" Optimus replied, welcoming Snarl and Scourge to the Autobots. Seeing that they were welcomed, Scourge and Snarl went through the warp gate along with the rest of the Autobots.

It didn't take long before they were all back at the Autobot base. Scourge and Snarl were amazed, and while Snarl stayed with Jetfire and them, Scourge followed the Destiny Gundam, wanting to know more about the bot, as something about bot seemed to bring out some good wonderfully unusual in Scourge.

Lancex headed to a specific area where he would be able to repair the Gundam, unaware that he had a shadow following him. Soon, Lancex found a good area, parked the Gundam in the hanger and headed to find tools. Scourge was puzzled that Lancex was a human. He had been defeated by a human of all things, but then he felt something else. He felt drawn to this small human. Little did Scourge know that he wasn't the only one interested in Lancex.

Hidden further away, Leobreaker was watching the whole thing, worried that a new challenge to win Lancex had just risen. Leobreaker wasn't going to have that, as he didn't share. For now, though, Leobreaker would keep his distance just in case it was needed.
