As Arcee was coming to and Bee was trying to find a way out of his predicament, Lancex found himself on the Decepticon's floating menace. Lancex couldn't say he enjoyed the décor, as it was dark as crap and very cold. Lancex, thanks to Dreadwing, ended up in a very strange type of brig cell. There wasn't the traditional hard metallic bed and visible waste can. No, this one had strange bedding and other things that Lancex hadn't seen in all the times he had been captured, but something about it made his tanks churn and not in a good way.

With as much care as he could, Dreadwing threw Lancex into the strange brig cell. Then Dreadwing slammed the door shut. Shockwave stayed a bit longer, gettting a scan of Lancex. Shockwave had a few things he wanted to figure out for Megatron regarding this captured bot especially if Megatron wanted what he wanted from this bot. Lancex didn't show it, but Shockave gave him a sickening feeling. If Lancex only knew why Shockwave was collecting this data, Lancex would have freaked out, as Lancex was a warrior and not a breeder, or so he thought of himself. He had no clue he could potentially carry sparklings in the right conditions.

Once Shockwave left, Megatron showed up with a sickening smirk on his faceplates. Lancex made his faceplates show a look of disgust. "You still disgust me, you vile bot" Lancex shot off his mouth.

Megatron chuckled. "You think I care what a peon like you cares about me and my ways. I take what I want and I want you, whether you want it or not. Your wants are not of any concern" Megatron replied, before advancing and forcing a kiss upon Lancex's lips. If it were most bots, they would have been changed by this kiss, but Lancex wasn't like most bots, as he had learned to fight off the programming Megatron was trying to insert thanks to fighting off fiends and such. Megatron was a bit irritated, but figured it might just take more to break this bot. Megatron smirked once again before leaving. "I shall return." Lancex didn't like the sound of that at all.

Meanwhile, back on earth, Arcee was out of her knocked out stupor and had freed Bee. They were racing for the Autobot base. "Arcee to Prime, come in Prime, we have a code red situation" Arcee relayed after finding out from Bee what had occurred.

"What's the situation?" Prime answered over the comm, not liking the sound of things.

"The Cons captured Lancex. He surrendered himself to save us" Arcee relayed, neither Arcee nor Optimus aware that Bulkhead and Predaking were overhearing the conversation. And neither were happy about it.

"I see, get back here and we will formulate a plan" Optimus answered, to which Arcee acknowledged, all hoping that they could get to Lancex before Megatron fouled the bot up.
