(Please see all previous disclaimers, Dirt Boss is a character from TF Cybertron)

Seeing that the battle was over and that Starscream had hightailed it for now, Optimus led his son and the other Autobots to his office for a debriefing. Optimus wanted to know exactly what had occurred. "Lancex, please tell us of all that occurred so that we are ready the next time either Starscream or Megatron attacks" Optimus commanded, needing to know.

"Well, it goes like this …" Lancex answered and then he explained about the entire battle and how it had occurred. The others listened with rapt attention, as they wanted to understand this whole thing. Optimus was even intently listening as he wanted to be able to prepare for battle.

As soon as Lancex finished his reports and with the rest of the Autobots still present, Lancex began gettting pinged from an old friend. Lancex quickly asked his father if Lancex could use a monitor to take a comm. Optimus agreed and soon a strange bot appeared on the screen, well, strange to Optimus and the rest of the Autobots. "Lancex here, what did you need?" Lancex asked the bot.

Dirt boss answered, "Lomg time no see, my old friend."

"I know, but you don't contact me for no reason" Lancex replied.

"You caught me, old friend. I am calling because I am in need of your help. There is a dungeon not to far from my last known location, and you need to check it out" Dirt boss revealed.

"Are you sure?" Lancex asked. Dirt Boss nodded. "Then I must go fix this situation. Be there soon, old friend." Dirt boss nodded and then signed off.

"What was that all about?" A random Autobot asked.

"A dungeon is an indication of a demon or a fiend. I must go and defeat the entity for the safety of all" Lancex explained. The others nodded. Well, all except Optimus.

"I won't let you go…" was as far as Optimus got before Lancex interrupted angrily.

"You can't stop me, I must go" Lancex yelled.

"If you will let me finish. I won't let you go alone. I am going to send three bots with you" Optimus stated.

"But they can't fight the entity I seek" Lancex stated.

"Maybe so or maybe not, but they can protect you from being grabbed by Starscream or Megatron" Optimus retorted. Lancex nodded in resignation, fearing who Optimus would pick. "Jetfire, Mirage, and Landmine, you will go with Lancex to address this problem." Upon hearing that, Lancex was relieved. He had feared that Optimus would pick bots that Lancex couldn't stand. Lancex and the other three were soon dismissed to go forth and fix this issue. Optimus hoped all four would remain safe as they dealt with this. Optimus especially hoped that his son would survive this.
