The Dinobots frantically raced through the forest to the location of Snarl hoping to reach him in time Swoop kept his optics peeled for Snarl looking around frantically until he spotted him "There!"Swoop said as he flew down at an opening in the tree tops right next to Swoop the Dinobots came immediately after and saw Snarl with his sword in his stomach barely clinging to life. "Oh Primus!"Slam exclaimed in horror "Snarl Snar speak to me what happened?!"Sludge exclaimed "Pred...Predacons...took...Slash."Snarl said weakly as energon poured them his mouth "Predacons."Grimlock growled his eyed flashing red Slug looked over at the body of Darksteel "you took out Darksteel."Slug commented "Scratch one Pred."Swoop said with satisfaction then Snarl made a weak groaning sounds before he went limp and his eyes fade to black.

"He went into stasis lock,we need to get him medical attention now!"Sludge exclaimed looking at Grimlock who was staring at Snarl's body shaking in growing anger,this was becoming too much for Grimlock,he almost lost Snarl to the Insecticons, and he was tortured continuously by Sharpshot,seeing him on the ground laying dying after getting jumped by the peedacons pushed completely over the edge, worst yet Slash had been taken prisoner and they still didn't know where Paddles was or if he was still alive.

"Grimlock?"Swoop called in concern as he Saw that Grimlock was glowing orange a little bit "wha whats happening to him?!"Slam asked backing up a little bit "Grimlock...?"Slug asked Grimlock growled in response as he slammed both of his fists on the ground and he transformed into Tyrannosaurus Rex mode the Dinobots looked on in surprise and horror as Grimlock let out a mighty ferocious roar that shook the entire forest. "Woah!"Slam exclaimed as he never saw Grimlock's dino mode before "Grimlock Grimlock!"Swoop called stepping up towards Grimlock who starred at him and then roared in his face and then he flicked him away with his snout Swoop flew 30 yards away crashing into some trees.

"What's wrong with him?!"Scorn asked in bewilderment at Grimlock's behavior "We're not sure, Shockwave did something to him every time he gets angry he transforms into this and he loses himself in a berserker rage state."Slug explained staring at Grimlock who was seething with rage.

Seeing Grimlock like this brought back a little memory for Scorn as he was tortured by Shockwave to the point he lost him mind and went on a rampage but luckily the Dinobots was able to snap him out of it by knocking some sense into him. Scorn stepped up to Grimlock "Grimlock..."before Scorn could finish Grimlock brought his jaws towards Scorn who held him back. Scorn grunted as he felt Grimlock pushing him back, "Come on solar strength don't let me down!"Scorn strained as he remembered Snarl wasn't the only one that could absorb solar energy and turn it into power, Scorn summon a bit of solar power into his arms and with a push he was able to shove Grimlock back but in doing so Grimlock turned around and his tail whacked Scorn away.

Grimlock bellowed and then he ran away through the forest, "Grimlock come back!"Sludge shouted as he watched Grimlock disappear into the forest "Great so that's three dinobots missing."Slam said Scorn and Swoop both got up "Oh here's the plan the rest of you get Snarl back to base,I'm going to get Grimlock."Scorn said "What about Slash and Paddles?"Swoop asked with concern "we'll find them Swoop right now we got two problems in front of us we need to focus on."Scorn said as he then ran off into the forest in the direction Grimlock went, Sludge carefully lifted up Snarl and walked off with the rest of the Dinobots following him.

Meanwhile

Lazerback and his little crew returned to base with Slash as their prisoner Hun-Grrr questioned where they were and Lazerback told him everything and to say Hun-Grrr wasn't happy was a complete understatement, "You idiots!"Hun-Grrr roared as he bashed the injured Laserback across the face with his fist causing him to fly and crash into the wall of the ship. "You were ordered not to attack the Dinobots!"Hun-Grrr roared in fury Laserback groaned as he leaned against the walk looking at Hun-Grrr "We shouldn't have let them retreat."he said in a pained tone "Shut up!"Hun-Grrr snapped as he punched him square in the blaster wound making Laserback yelp in pain and he slammed him on the ground in front of the other predacons who looked on.

"Because of your insubordination, we're down one Predacon,one Predacon!"Hun-Grrr screeched clearly upset over the loss of Darksteel "We...killed Snarl."Lazerback groaned again making Hun-grr furious "i told you to shut up!"Hun-Grrr roared again as he transformed into dragon mode and stomped on Lazerback's wounded chest making him groan in agony as he pressed down adding more pain.

Shockwave watched with a blank stare this display reminds him of Megatron punishing Starscream or any other Decepticon that messed up, Slash who was in the grip of Blight flinched a little bit after seeing Laserback get pummeled she knew Predacons were barbaric but this was another level. Hun-Grrr transformed back into robot mode and glared at the others who shrunk back a little bit and growled with disgust "you're all idiots."

"The lost of Darksteel is unfortunate but they make up for it by bringing us a prisoner."Shockwave said who walked over to Slash who glared at him and then she spit on him un-fazing Shockwave "how rude."Serket growled as she stomped towards Slash ready for another round but Shockwave stopped her "and they make up for it by offing Snarl."Shockwave said making Slash growl in rage "you're all going to pay for that."Then with lightning speed she brought her legs up and kicked Shockwave square in the sternum making him fall back and then she headbutted Blight in the face making him release her.

The other predacons moved in to grab her and she pulled out daggers getting into a fighting stance then Shockwave stood up and stared at Slash "how do you plan on escaping the this base?"Shockwave asked "Don't worry about it,just know that before i leave I'll rip out your eye."Slash said with venom "I sincerely doubt that."he said as he snapped his fingers and Serket pressed a button on a panel near her and a small turret came out of the wall behind her and fired a bolt of electricity shocking Slash causing her to yelp and drop to the ground subdued.

"Put her in the brig."Shockwave said as he left the room Serket grabbed Slash by her leg and dragged her out of the room Flatline looked around in confusion "This place has a brig?" Serket dragged Slash into a room that had 4 cells in it and she tossed her in it,Slash landed on the floor with a hard thud and Serket pressed a button on the wall next to the cell and a purple energy wall came up sealing her in Slash immediately stood up and looked around her cell and then back at Serket who just scowled at her. "Take a holoscan it'll last far longer."Slash sneered making Serket narrow her eyes "Oh if I wasn't needed elsewhere i would spend eternity tossing you all around this cell."

Snarl just scoffed at that "i liked to see you try." "Enjoy your stay." Serket said "Oh I'm not staying long."Slash said "Oh you're planning a daring escape?"Serket asked mockingly "No the Dinobots are going to break me out and they're going to make you all pay for what was done to Snarl."Slash said with seriousness in her voice as she glared at her, Serket scoffed and then walked away leaving Slash alone in her cell.

Meanwhile

Scorn roamed the forest following the trail of Grimlock which was fairly easy as the footprints in the ground as well as a free knocked over trees all pointed to Grimlock, Scorn was deeply disturbed seeing Grimlock like this true he can be a bit of a hot head but this seemed to be more than that,Shockwave tortured the Dinobots all equally but he seemed to have worked Grimlock the most which made him feel more bad for Grimlock. Scorn continued walking until he heard Grimlock roar in the distance and he immediately continued on.

Meanwhile

Paddles ran through the forest trying to get to Snarl he then pressed the community again "Snarl come in..."Paddles said hoping to hear Snarl's voice but instead he heard Scorn's "Paddles is that you,we thought you were dead."Scorn said relieved to hear Paddles voice "Nope I was just thrown in the water,had a nice swim,what's going on with Snarl is he ok?"Paddles asked with concern. "No not really he's hurt really badly,predacons attacked him and took Slash."Scorn said making Paddles spark drop at the news.

"Even worse Grimlock lost his mind,he transformed and his going on a rampage throughout the forest!"Scorn said and as if on cue Paddles heard a roar echo through the trees "what was that?"Paddles asked in confusion "That's Grimlock."Scorn responded.

Meanwhile

The Dinobots hurried to the base and placed Snarl in med bay Slam slowly pulled out the sword out of him and Sludge hooked him to the Spark monitor and saw with horror that it was not going good, "what do we do?"Swoop asked in frantic confusion as the only one in the dinobots that had any medical training was Snarl and he was in stasis lock.

"Well firstly, cover that wound."Sludge ordered and he pulled out a small sheet that looked like aluminum foil and placed it over the stab wound "ok someone put pressure on that."Sludge ordered Swoop did the honors of holding on to the sheet. "Ok guys that's a temporary fix,Snarl is leaking badly and he needs an operation from a real medic."Sludge said everyone stood in silence as they realized who that medic is, "Flatline is the only certified medic here,but I don't think he's going to come willingly."Slam said as Slug clenched his fist "he will."
