Feeling he had little other choice if the leader wanted to end this infernal war, Optimus called the Autobots in for a meeting. This war needed to end, and Optimus hoped that Lancex's plan was the answer to that. Well, at least Lancex had a plan, u like some bots.

Once all the Autobots gathered in Optimus' office, Optimus told the whole team why they had been called to the meeting. Once that was done, Optimus allowed Lancex to take over and explained what his full plan was, including the rune cards and such. "This new book I found has given me the perfect rune and card to help us defeat the Cons" Lancex said and then explained about the runes and trapping cards. The others listened intently, as they didn't want to mess this up if it could mean the end of the war.

Meanwhile, as the Autobots made their plans, Megatron was making some of his own. Having found out that Starscream wasn't totally gone, Megatron stole the partially visible bot before breaking said bot and enslaving said bot. Starscream, totally devoid of his old personality, allowed it to happen as he saw it as little different than Alpha Q running the seeker ragged.

Seeing that the former pain in the aft seeker was easily enslaved to the con leader, Megatron could focus his evil attention to something else. And fortunately or unfortunately that focus was on one thing. Well, technically speaking, one bot – Lancex. Megatron had been so close to having the bot's lithe form in the evil leader's hands, especially since Lancex was Optimus' son. Megatron could feel his spike rise at the thought of the bot. And so, wanting Lancex, Megatron began to make his plans, unaware that they would never come to fruition.

Meanwhile, back with the Autobots, Lancex went into great detail about how the cards and runes work. They weren't entirely sure about these strange these working, but they trusted that Lancex wasn't goi got lead them into danger. "He knows exactly what he is talking about" Dirt boss stated, supporting Lancex.

"How would you know?" A random Autobot queried.

"I have worked with him many times, and the cards he chooses and uses do exactly as they say they will" Dirt Boss answered. The others nodded, hoping that this really would work and not lead into more chaos and such.
