As Lancex slept, Optimus thought of something. If Lancex needed space and time to practice, Optimus knew of a place where Megatron would never look for Lancex. Not wanting to spring anything on the bots out there, Optimus contacted Heatwave. "Optimus to rescue team, come in Heatwave."
"Heatwave here, Optimus. We weren't expecting your call. How May we be of assistance?" Heatwave asked.
"I have a bot who needs to do a bit of training with a dangerous weapon he has. I know you bots have the training center on the mainland, and could keep him hidden at Griffen Rock for a few days as he trains" Optimus revealed.
"Sir, the training center wasn't designed for dangerous weapons" Heatwave replied, "it was designed to train rescue bots" Heatwave replied.
"Trust me, Heatwave, it can handle this. He needs this time and place to help us defeat a great evil" Optimus stated, his command clear as day.
"Yes, sir. But only Cody is available to come via space bridge and greet the bot. Everyone else is busy, including Kade and I as we are in the middle of rescue training and stopped when you called" Heatwave replied.
"Alright, send Cody via space bridge, we will be waiting for him. Optimus signing off" Optimus stated as he signed off.
"Are you sure about sending Lancex there? They're rescue bots, bot soldiers" Ratchet asked.
"They are the best way to hide Lancex as he prepares to take down Megatron" Optimus replied and no one argued with him further.
"So, who gets to tell Lancex about this little training mission?" Arcee asked, not sure about this whole thing either.
"I will tell Lancex once he wakes up from recharge. I just hoped Megatron holds off long enough for Lancex to master this weapon of his, or else we may not survive this next fight" Optimus stated. The others nodded, hoping that things would work out for the Autobots.
Meanwhile, Lancex continued to recharge, as he hadn't realized how low he had gotten. What he hadn't know was that when Bulkhead and Predaking had rubbed Lancex's gn drive, it used more energon than the bot normally did hence Lancex was tired once again.
And elsewhere, Megatron was plotting his scheme. He was very sure that this time, he could not and would not fail. But he never realized things never worked out in his favor because good always overcame evil. He just figured that he needed to have better plans and better soldiers. Megatron was so focused on his goal that he didn't realize that he himself had caught someone's optics, someone who wanted Megatron, but not as a dominant bot, but as a subservient queen.
