Awakened by the blaring alarm, Lancex found himself sandwiched between Evac and Scourge, with Scourge holding onto Lancex like a teddy bear. Lancex loved waking up to this, but the alarm met something was going on. He gently woke the other two. Scourge, unaware of the alarm, planted a hot kiss on Lancex's lips while Evac just watched and marveled at the hot scene while gently stroking his own stiff equipment.

And since he was unaware of more going on than just with the three of them, Scourge tried to push his luck and get further with Lancex while Evac still watched , not wanting to take advantage of the bot he loved and enjoying the show. Lancex liked the attention up to a point, but then he stopped Scourge cold. Scourge tried hard to push the boundary, but Lancex stood firm. Scourge growled a bit, as he didn't like being denied. "I know you have feelings for me. I have feelings for you two, both of you. The thing is that our mission is not complete, the war is not over, and you haven't received my younger brother's blessing to pursue me, or you would have told me so" Lancex revealed, not quite as pleasure shot as they thought he was.

Evac and Scourge nodded, as they planned on respecting Lancex's boundaries for now as they knew he wouldn't let them go any further and they could lose him if they tried. Lancex knew they meant no harm, but they still had to prove themselves - not to him, but to Optimus who still feared losing Lancex. They all straightened up and headed out to see what was up, as Lancex informed them of the alarm that had gone off.

The three made it to the main flight room at the same time as Landmine and Jetfire. Optimus is confused as to where the five went but glad that they had now returned as the giant planet was coming into view. Optimus even smiled when he saw his older brother enter into the room. Optimus now felt what his father talked about – a family was stronger when working together, whether it be a band of brothers or real family. Lancex and the others were in awe as they approached the giant planet. Who knew who the would meet, but all knew that they had to go there if they hoped to end this war.
