Aquaformer was standing by the door, intimidating as ever. She had been assigned to guard this place. She sighed. She had so many other talents and such, but did they care – nope. Here she stood. Her only solace was that standing with her was Lancex. They both hated this and wished they were better used in the way effort. "Seems like all is well" Aquaformer forcefully whispered,

"For now" Lancex tersely replied. It wasn't that they hated each other, but both knew they couldn't get distracted. And they were good at their job. Both unaware that their "boring" job was going to change. Lancex felt it first and indicated to Aquaformer that something was off. Aquaformer nodded, prepping her weaponry.

Just a short distance away from them, on this planet seemingly long abandoned, a group of cons landed. "Who would come to this forsaken place?" One asked.

"Silence" said another. "The Autobots May here you."

"They aren't here. No one would come here" a third piped up.

"Fool, do you not know that there is quite a lot here. For if we find the Autobot base, eve if abandoned, it holds quite a bit of information. They never saw this as a place of great importance. We must go."

The group made its way, unaware that they were not alone. Aquaformer and Lancex were ready to fight, as they hated the cons. The group soon arrived. And before the small group realized it, they were under attack. Aquaformer and Lancex fired their weapons, defending the seemingly insignificant base. Seemingly it was more significant than most Autobots thought if cons had showed up here. The battle was long and hard. Aquaformer and Lancex made quick work of most of the group, but then something they hadn't expected. A bomb brought by one of the cons went off. It killed those cons who weren't dead, destroyed the base, and blew an unconscious Aquaformer and Lancex away from the planet. As the two floated away, both were swallowed up by a wormhole, which closed once they passed through. Neither had any idea where or when they would be once they came to.
