While Optimus recharged, Lancex and his mates found themselves on Cybertron. It was an amazing sight to see for Lancex, as he had never been to Cybertron. His mates were a bit confused. "Something wrong, Lancex?" Mirage asked.
"No. Nothing is wrong, per se. I've just never been here before" Lancex revealed.
"You've never been to Cybertron?" Landmine asked.
"This is my first time. Yes, I was sparked to a Cybertronian but it was on a different planet and for some reason, that I still don't know, my parents left me with my mentor. Even when I grew up, I never made it to Cybertron. I always thought Cybertron had been destroyed, and so Velocitron was the closest I was going to get to seeing Cybertron" Lancex explained. His mates nodded and did their best to make this visit fun and informative.
They headed for the fair, playing silly bot based games and enjoying the overpriced energon. The four had a good time, and soon, they found it was time for the fireworks. They found their spot and sat together. Lancex once again took out his book to glance at while they were waiting. "What is that book about?" Mirage asked.
"It is a book categorizing and explaining about all the known fiends and demons that exist and their strengths and weaknesses" Lancex explained. The three nodded, and soon it was time for the fireworks, which was when Lancex put his book away. They enjoyed the show.
Meanwhile, Optimus soon roused, his overworking systems releasing a very potent exhaust fume. Optimus didn't think much of it, as his systems did that on occasion, but Dirt was a bit concerned. "What, we all have exhaust fumes of various potency" Optimus stated emphatically.
"Yes, that is true, but I think your current fume is the result of something very specific" Dirt Boss answered.
"What is that? Your new spark bond to me?" Optimus asked, needling his mate a bit. Optimus did have a sarcastic side at times.
"No, I think your systems are working harder than usual. You might be sparked" Dirt stated.
Optimus didn't believe the bot. "I'm too old for that stuff" Optimus retorted.
"Stranger things have happened" Dirt responded.
"Fine, if it will make you feel better and shut you up, I will get medically checked tomorrow" Optimus replied, still not believing his mate. Optimus didn't feel like he had when sparked with Lancex. Dirt just nodded and then spoiled his mate with all kinds of wonderful attention. Tomorrow would be an interesting day.
