"You have some gall" Predaking hissed at the Autobot.
Lancex was caught off guard. "I know you are a con, but why do you hate us so?" Lancex asked for some unknown reason.
"You and your disgusting fellow Autobots destroyed my brethren" Predaking snarled back.
Lancex was confused. "As far as I know, Autobots protect all life forms. The cons are the destroyers" Lancex replied.
That accusation made Predaking angry. "Then why did Megatron show me a video of the Autobots destroying my brethren?" Predaking demanded to know.
Lancex was dumbfounded. Then he thought about the video he had downloaded. "You have been misled. Check this clip out, and figure out who really was the culprit" Lancex replied and then sent the clip. It revealed the deviant plan that Megatron and Shockwave had set in place, including framing the Autobots for the destruction.
Predaking was confused and angry. "Is this true?" He demanded to know.
"Why don't you ask Megatron? He's right behind you" Lancex replied and moved quickly away and towards the edge of the dirigible.
"What are you doing, Predaking, stop him!" Megatron demanded.
But Predaking turned on the con leader, and challenged the bot. "Something was revealed to me. You destroyed my brethren. Why?" Predaking asked, not expecting to hear what Megatron was going to say.
"I destroy anything that gets in my way of total domination, including you once my purpose for you is done" Megatron replied, not realizing he had just screwed himself.
Predating grew even angrier and transformed into his dragon form and before Megatron knew what hit him, Predaking burned the con leader and all the bots he had with them. Only then, seeing that the cons were the destroyers did Predaking follow to where Lancex had gone.
Predaking reached Lancex just before the bot could leap off the flying con base. "Could you use a ride?" Predaking asked, in his full dragon form.
Lancex turned around, a bit stunned. "You.. would give me a ride?" Lancex asked, puzzled.
"My optics have been opened. Allow me to return you to your base and hopefully be accepted by Optimus and the others" Predaking replied, even now feeling strange around this new bot. Seeing the bot wanted to change, Lancex agreed and soon the two were flying away. Predaking and Lancex both hoped Optimus would accept them. Only time would tell.
