Soon enough, Lancex found himself floating above Cybertron and he looked down to assess the situation. In only a short amount of time, Red Alert, Scattershot, and Hotshot looked exhausted from battling the scrapmetals. Lanced could see a multitude of scrap metal causalities but still thousands more appeared to be attacking. Lancex took his ryu and called out "blue slash" turning his normal looking sword into a sword of blue fire. Using his unique sword, Lancex swung the flame and took out many of the attacking scrap metals, offering much relief to the Cybertronian defense team.
After finishing off a couple missed scrapmetals, Red Alert, Scattershot, and Hotshot were grateful for the help but also confused. "Are you three ok? You look like scrap" Lamcex said.
"We are barely hanging on, but otherwise well. Where did you come from? I though Optimus sent only us, or was I mistaken?" Red queried.
"I cannot tell you now, as the universe has audios" Lancex answered, noticing the dead scrap metals all around them. These he could use. Lancex summons his essence, much to the shock of the other three, and cries out a strange word – bonkai. Suddenly and scarily, Lancex is consumed by flames but they don't last, and soon Lancex emerges with a katana in both hands – one black and one white, both with chains on them. On his torso the colors of black, blue and white pattern with the Japanese words for freedom and justice on it.
After all of that, Lancex utters another unknown word, well, words in this case – tensa ryu tenno. The other three stand in stunned silence, wondering if Optimus knew of all of this, even as their weakened strength is replenished.
Meanwhile, earthbound Autobots were passing through the space bridge, with Vector Prime carrying the Omega lock and three keys. As they made their way, Evac and Scourge opened up a private comm line for just the two of them. "Back off, Evac! Lancex is mine" Scourge announced over their private comm.
"No, you back off" Evac answered, puzzled as to why Scourge made such a declaration over private comm.
"I saw him first, I got to kiss and cuddle him" Scourge threw back, sounding much like a human earth child with a crush.
"Lancex would want and deserves to have a loving, caring mate. Not one to spark him and frag him senseless all the time" Evac bit back, showing only slightly more maturity than Scourge.
"I'm a king. I can protect my people and so I can protect Lancex as well" Scourge shot back. Sick of the back and forth, Evac ended the private comm without saying anything. It needed to end as they were nearly at Cybertron and neither wanted anyone else to know they had been fighting.
