As the Autobots ran for the fight, Starscream and Lancex continued their battle. It didn't take long for Lancex to figure out Starscream's sword fighting style and such. Lancex smirked to himself, though Starscream didn't see it. Lancex was able to stop every swing of the sword that Starscream made. Then Lancex had an idea – he could use some of the other uses of this sword to ward off Starscream.
Before the Autobots could arrive, Lancex called for the first strange attack – an energon field attack. Lancex holds his sword so that it is straight up in front of him and once he calls out the attack, the energon field comes forth and blows Starscream a way from the other bot. Starscream was totally caught off guard by the attack. Starscream tried to shake off the strange attack and then head for Lancex again.
Lancex was in a relaxed state as Starscream attempted to attack yet again. Lancex held his sword in the same position it had been in and called out "judgement cut" which caused Lancex's own sword to take on a life of its own and strike Starscream in a very specific spot, which would not kill or incapacitate the bot, but would prevent the bot from being able to fight any longer. Starscream was forced to stop his attack. And once the damage was done, the sword returned to its owner.
Lancex watched as Starscream was forced to remain visible. "I told you, I don't fight like regular bots and I don't back down" Lancex stated, seeing the wound his sword had created. Starscream nodded, and though mad, he was forced to retreat for two reasons – he was damaged and Alpha Q was calling Starscream to return. Starscream the left, angry at being bested but happy to still be online.
And just after Starscream left, the Autobots arrived to find Lancex alone, but with. A strange sword in his hands. "What happened here?" Jetfire asked, a bit confused.
"Starscream tried a sneak attack. I stopped it" Lancex retorted strongly.
"You stopped that deranged bot with that sword?" Another bot asked, unaware at how powerful the sword was.
"Yes, I did. This sword is much like us, there is more to it than meets the optic" Lancex replied. Optimus didn't say much. He was simply relieved that his son was safe and in one piece. The other Autobots were just relieved that Starscream was gone. Well, all but three, as they were greatly relieved that Lancex was safe as well. The Autobots headed in, now that the threat is over.
