Inside an old warehouse at an unknown location, some M.E.C.H troopers were working on something very important. A trooper connected two cables together and another one pressed a button on a nearby console, causing some electricity to course through the cables and into a large Cybertronian body. That body just so happened to be the one of Brawl, which was reconstructed with a few large stitch marks around him. His yellow visor was broken off on the left to reveal his left eye and the right side of his mouth mask was broken to reveal half of Brawl's mouth. Some Energon and magic energy from four Glyphs in a container were also inserted into Brawl's inactive body, causing his hand to slightly move. When a M.E.C.H trooper pushed another button, electricity began emitting from Brawl, smoke flew through the atmosphere and the entire warehouse began to shake from the amount of power M.E.C.H was using to bring their creation to life. The electricity soon died down and all the equipment powered down, allowing M.E.C.H to wait and see if their attempt to rewake Brawl would work. Just then, Brawl's eye and visor flashed in an orange colour as he looked around his surroundings.
"Welcome back, sir." A M.E.C.H trooper greeted.
'Brawl' simply looked at his own hand with a slightly surprised look.
"What have you done?" 'Brawl' asked as his voice sounded just like that of a certain M.E.C.H leader.
"What we needed to. In order to save you, Silas." The M.E.C.H trooper answered.
"I'm…one of them." Silas said, finding it a little hard to believe he was in a Cybertronian body.
"The logical evolution of M.E.C.H's experiments and biotech." The M.E.C.H trooper said, gesturing to a nearby computer that showed Brawl's schematics. "Your brain fused with the donor's nervous and skeletal systems. We've also infused the magic energy from some Glyphs we still had into this body to give you some of those powers."
Inside Brawl's body, Silas was shown to be connected to tons of wires as his body was covered in scars and injuries from when Nemesis Prime crashed ontop of him. One of his eyes was even replaced with a cybernetic one.
"The perfect meld of man, machine and magic. Exquisite." Silas said with an impressed smirk. "Thank you all for your dedication and a lifetime of service."
The M.E.C.H Commander started to move and disconnected himself from the cables, staring down at his troopers.
"But I now seem more suited to keep the exclusive company…" Silas said before he shifted his left hand into a Neutron Assault Rifle, aiming it at his own men. "Of Titans."
The scene moved to outside the warehouse, where bright flashes and blaster noises could be heard inside.

At a far away military base, Silas was driving on the road in Brawl's vehicle mode and approached the main entrance. He stopped in front of the gate, where a soldier approached the mysterious-looking tank and some parts of the left center shifted away to only reveal the upper part of Silas' face.
"Colonel Leland Bishop." Silas said.

It was currently raining at the Autobot base as some of the members were trying to cheer up a still crippled Bulkhead.
"Bulkhead, you really mustn't allow yourself to decline." Ratchet told the dark-green Wrecker.
"He's right, Bulk. You just need to stay positive." Willow added in encouragement.
"What's the use?" Bulkhead asked miserably.
"All you've gotta do is take it easy for a little longer, pal." Wheeljack said with a supportive smile.
"Wheeljack is right. You need to regain your strength." Ratchet said. "The time will come when-"
"When what? When all of you will need an assist?" Bulkhead questioned while frowning. "Isn't that what the new guy's for?"
"Hey, Bulkhead, I've been thinking. With your injury and all, you might wanna take advantage of the armor I snagged from Starscream." Smokescreen said, approaching Bulkhead with the Apex Armor plate. "Instant muscle suit!"
"You think I need a crutch?!" Bulkhead asked angrily before he stood up and smacked the Apex Armor away with his wrecking ball, causing it to smash into a monitor and damage it.
"Bulkhead! I needed that!" Ratchet yelled.
"It's been a long time since he said that." Amity giggled as she and the other kids, minus Vee, were resting at the hangout platform.
Bulkhead growled lowly and started to slowly walk away.
"Outta my way, rookie!" Bulkhead ordered, shoving Smokescreen out of his way.
"He can walk!" Smokescreen exclaimed as Bulkhead grabbed the metal ball nearby and started doing some exercise with it. "Looks like he's fit for duty to me."
"You don't even know what you're talking about." Ratchet mumbled under his breath before leaving.
"Relax, kid. He'll come around." Wheeljack told Smokescreen, while Willow simply gave him a thumbs-up.
"So, you guys said that this whole event where you ended up in a Shadowzone was what caused me to get transported to the Human Realm?" Skara asked as she was having a discussion with Amity, Gus and Hunter.
"Ratchet did say it was due to those duelling Ground Bridges, so yeah." Hunter answered.
"We were thinking that if we could recreate that same event, it might open another crack that could get one of us back to the Boiling Isles." Amity explained.
"But, we're only able to create one Ground Bridge." Gus reminded. "And I don't think the Decepticons will be easily tricked into summoning their own one next to it.
"Gus has a good point." Skara agreed before she noticed something. "Hey, where's your Basilisk friend?"
The group looked around and realised Vee was indeed not with them. They had just told Skara about her true identity yesterday and it was truly shocking to her, but she learned to accept it and treated Vee fairly.
"Seriously, Vee? You're stuck at the house?" Luz questioned as everyone saw she was having a phone call with the Basilisk. "Did mom ground you for something you did?"
(Linebreak)
"No, it's not that." Vee replied as she was at the Noceda residence, sitting at a desk in her bedroom while in her human form. "Camila decided that it was a good idea to have me enrolled into your school, so she signed me up for a few tests to help me prove I've got what it takes to join."
"And how many tests do you need to complete for that?" Willow asked curiously.
"A lot. Probably more than what Hexside students have to work with." Vee admitted, leaning her face against her palm. "It'll take a lot of days to get these finished. Make sure you all say hi to Jazz for me. Until I complete these tests, I'm off Team Prime."
(Linebreak)
Luz's phone then made a beeping noise to show that Vee had hung up. The Hexside Squad looked back at Bulkhead as he was still lifting weights with the metal ball.
"Just when we get one back, we loose another." Gus said with a sigh.
"At least you guys still have me and Smokey." Skara replied reassuringly, trying to lift their spirits.
"We know." Luz said.

On the Nemesis, Knock Out was working at a terminal on the main deck before he started detecting a signal that belonged to Brawl.
"Strange." Knock Out said suspiciously.
"What did you find, Knocks?" Wildrider asked as he, Breakdown and Soundwave approached him.
"Something very unexpected." Knock Out replied before turning to his leader. "Lord Megatron, it appears that Brawl's signal has popped back online. Albeit corrupted."
"Investigate with caution." Megatron ordered. "It may well be an Autobot trick."
"I hope not. Brawl's got some anger issues, but he's still one of the best fighters we had." Breakdown said.
"And I thought you were always jealous of him." Wildrider snickered, earning an annoyed glare from the muscular Decepticon.
(Linebreak)
At the military base, tons of vehicles were shown to be destroyed and emitting smoke while some ice pieces and vines were scattered around the area. A Ground Bridge appeared and Knock Out, Breakdown and Wildrider walked out of it with some Vehicons beside them before taking a look at the demolished base.
"Wow, looks like Brawl's been busy." Wildrider commented.
Just then, the Decepticons heard a noise coming from a smoking hole at one of the base's structures and they saw 'Brawl' walking out of the hole while carrying a large metal box behind him.
"Brawl, where have you…" Knock Out trailed off from his question when he and the others noticed how disfigured 'Brawl' was now looking.
"Brawl? What happened to you?" Breakdown asked with a surprised expression.
"You look like you've just been reassembled after getting sliced into pieces." Wildrider said, not knowing that's what actually happened to his old comrade.
"Therein lies a tape, which won't be nearly as interesting to Megatron than this." Silas proclaimed as he showed them the box he was carrying. "So, take me to your leader."
Knock Out, Breakdown and Wildrider raised an eyebrow in suspicion as they wondered if they could truly trust him.
(Linebreak)
At the Autobot base, Fowler had just arrived to tell Team Prime and the Hexside Squad about something urgent he was just informed about.
"At sixteen-thirty hours, a satellite was stolen from a high security military vault." Fowler explained, showing everyone some footage of the attack on the main console. "Surveillance shows the Decepticon known as Brawl at the scene."
"Haven't seen him in a while." Wheeljack admitted.
"It looks like Brawl entered the base in vehicle mode, with someone inside the tank." Fowler said.
"A Decepticon paired with a human?!" Ratchet asked in total disbelief.
"And I have a pretty good hunch who." Fowler replied. "The stolen satellite was Project Damocles."
"Invented by Silas." Optimus finished.
"I guess the former Colonel Bishop wanted it back." Fowler said.
"Silas? Isn't that the super bad human you guys told me about?" Skara asked the Hexside Squad.
"Yeah, that's him." Gus replied. "He's almost as evil as Belos."
"He even stole some of my Glyphs and learned how to use them." Luz added in concern. "He and his M.E.C.H troops have always been trouble for us."
"But didn't he get crushed by Nemesis Prime last time we encountered him?" Bumblebee recalled.
"Yeah, I thought Silas was paste?" Arcee questioned.
"So did I." Fowler added.
"Hey, the biggest bad guys always come back." Jazz quipped. "Megatron was in the middle of a Space Bridge blowin' up and he wasn't even offline."
"Agent Fowler, even if he were alive, are you suggesting that Silas has allied M.E.C.H with the Decepticons? I highly doubt that Megatron would entertain such an idea." Ratchet proclaimed.
"Why not? The Autobot and organic alliance works well with us." Amity admitted.
"Plus, Silas could still have a few more of my Glyphs." Luz said. "He'll probably show Megatron how to use them with enough time."
"Luz has a good point." Cliffjumper said in agreement.
(Linebreak)
Back on the Nemesis, Knock Out, Breakdown and Wildrider were presenting the Brawl/Silas combo being to Megatron, who was less than pleased.
"Knock Out, Breakdown, Wildrider, what is this abomination and why have you brought it here?" Megatron demanded.
"I am CYLAS, as in Cybernetic Life Augmented by Symbiosis." CYLAS introduced himself. "I come with a proposition."
"This is the filthy human who dissected me all those days ago!" Wildrider stated angrily before he brought out his wrist blades, while Knock Out and Breakdown brought out their buzz saw blade and sledgehammer respectively.
"Please, my liege, allow us to return to favour." Knock Out demanded, eager to tear CYLAS apart.
"We've make examples to these fleshlings, after all." Breakdown scowled.
However, a firm look from Megatron was more than enough to make the three of them stand down.
"I propose that you not overlook the one asset that provides Optimus Prime an advantage. At least, on this world." CYLAS said.
"And that would be?" Megatron questioned.
"The magic factor." CYLAS answered.
"Look around you, CYLAS, I command an army from a mighty warship." Megatron said, not buying any kind of offer from a mere organic. "What could a human that claims to possess magic possible offer?"
"I am no ordinary human. And this is no ordinary weapon." CYLAS told him, gesturing to the metal box behind.
(Linebreak)
"Damocles is a partial beam cannon so powerful, it can slice up the Pentagon like a birthday cake or give everyone on Mount Rushmore a mohawk, all from a satellite in orbit." Fowler explained, showing Project Damocles' capabilities on screen. "It's the work of a madman, and in Megatron's hands…"
(Linebreak)
"A threat to anyone, anywhere on the planet." Megatron finished with an intrigued look.
"With pinpoint accuracy at the flick of a switch." CYLAS said.
"And what is it that you wish in return?" Megatron asked.
"Merely a place at the table." CYLAS replied respectfully.
(Linebreak)
"So, how do we take down this death-laser satellite?" Jazz asked as he and the other Bots we're getting ready for their mission.
"The Cons may have the satellite, but they can't use it without the interface code." Fowler told them, holding a classified file on Project Damocles. "The only existing copy is stored on the secure server at headquarters in Colorado."
"We must keep the code out of Decepticon hands at all costs." Optimus declared.
Bulkhead slammed his palm into his fist, eager to finally get back in the field.
"It's roll time!" Bulkhead stated, attempting to walk towards the Ground Bridge.
"Dat, dat, dat, I have not yet cleared you for active duty. Nor are you ready to roll." Ratchet told him firmly, making Bulkhead groan in frustration.
(Linebreak)
At the Colorado headquarters, soldiers were heading towards their helicopters and leaving in them as they received an evacuation call.
"Attention! All personnel are ordered to evacuate immediately!" Fowler's voice called out on the radio speakers.
However, this call was actually coming from Soundwave as he was using a digital imitation of Fowler's voice.
"We have a level five radiation leak! Repeat, evacuate immediately!" Soundwave's message said.
With all the soldiers gone, Soundwave crashed through the roof window and plugged one of his tentacles into the server in front of him, slowly downloading the Project Damocles codes into himself. At the same time, a Ground Bridge appeared outside the headquarters and Team Prime rushed out of it before they were immediately fired upon and took cover. The Autobots saw a bunch of Vehicons firing their blasters at them to keep them away.
"The Decepticons have proceeded us!" Optimus said before bringing out his blaster and activating his battle mask. "We must secure the command center!"
The Autobots brought out their blasters and began charging at the Vehicons while shooting at them.
(Linebreak)
However, Megatron and CYLAS were watching them from a monitor on the Nemesis.
"The Autobots have arrived!" Megatron stated.
"Megatron, relax-" CYLAS said, only for Megatron to growl madly at him. "Lord Megatron. Soundwave may need to download the code in order to remotely operate Damocles from here on your warship. But while jacked into the mainframe, Damocles is his to command."
CYLAS pressed a button on the monitor and the Nemesis shot out the Project Damocles satellite, which unfolded and aimed itself down to Earth.
(Linebreak)
"Soundwave, prepare to beta test." Megatron said on the com-link as the communication Decepticon was still downloading the codes.
Soundwave latched his other tentacle onto a keyboard and the screen displayed a targeting system for Damocles. Outside, the Autobots were still firing at the Vehicons as Smokescreen transformed and drove straight at his enemies. After transforming again, Smokescreen skilfully shot down two Vehicons before one of them tackled him by surprise. They both rolled across the field, until Smokescreen was ontop and punched at the Vehicon. With Smokescreen in it's targeting sights, Project Damocles fired a powerful beam directly down to the planet and Smokescreen saw the laser descending straight at him. Smokescreen immediately jumped out of the way, causing the laser to crash down onto the Vehicon before it soon faded away.
"Woah." Smokescreen said in shock, seeing the burnt Vehicon in a very hot crater.
"That laser satellite sure is brutal." Cliffjumper commented as he and the others saw this, too.
(Linebreak)
Megatron saw the results of what Project Damocles can do on the monitor.
"Promising." Megatron said, smirking in an impressed way.
(Linebreak)
Damocles fired another beam at the Autobots and they immediately saw it.
"Here it comes, again!" Wheeljack exclaimed.
"Fall back!" Optimus ordered before they all ran away from the laser before it could hit them.
(Linebreak)
"Ratchet, we require backup!" Optimus stated on the main console as Ratchet and Bulkhead were listening.
"I'm there." Bulkhead replied, attempting to walk away.
"Dat, dat, dat!" Ratchet said as he immediately stopped him.
"Can you remotely disable Project Damocles under Agent Fowler's advisement?" Optimus asked.
"On a human-based computer network?" Ratchet questioned. "Without my backup? Without Vee?"
"We can do something about that." Luz told him, with her friends nodding in agreement.
(Linebreak)
At the Noceda residence, Vee was still working on her tests with a bored sigh before a Ground Bridge appeared behind her. Vee quickly turned around to see Luz, Amity, Willow, Gus, Hunter, Skara and Fowler walk out of the Ground Bridge.
"Hey, Vee." Amity said.
"Sorry for the unexpected visit." Gus apologised with a sheepish smile.
"Why are you guys even here?" Vee questioned.
"Kid, this planet needs you." Fowler told her, approaching the Basilisk girl with the Damocles file in his hand.
(Linebreak)
At the same time, Team Prime had just recovered from avoiding the Damocles laser.
"Autobots, we must draw it's fire to distract from Vee's efforts." Optimus instructed.
Just then, another Damocles laser was fired at the Autobots and it crashed in front of them.
"Somehow, I don't think that'll be a problem." Arcee replied.
"Let's roll!" Jazz stated before they transformed and drove away from the laser.
(Linebreak)
Ratchet continued working at his station while Bulkhead paced around impatiently.
"Ratchet, you've gotta send me in." Bulkhead pleaded.
"So you can be an even easier target?! You have yet to regain your full range of motion!" Ratchet stated.
"But Brawl's back, he's one of the toughest and brutal Cons there is. Come on, even the kids are in on the action!" Bulkhead argued, causing the Autobot medic to sigh in defeat.
"Very well, Bulkhead. You are cleared for duty." Ratchet said begrudgingly.
"Yes!" Bulkhead cheered as he started to walk towards the Ground Bridge.
"A duty of my choosing!" Ratchet told him sternly, causing Bulkhead to scratch his head in confusion.
(Linebreak)
Meanwhile, Vee had just managed to get into the Project Damocles network while her friends watched nearby.
"I'm in, but I can't hack into the targeting systems. There's too many firewalls." Vee said.
"Come on, kid. If the Cons make off with that interface code, Damocles will light up the sky twenty four-seven." Fowler encouraged.
"And we'll all get burned alive." Gus added.
"Let them have the code. It'll be useless without the satellite." Vee proclaimed.
"Can't say I follow." Fowler admitted in confusion.
"All satellites have manoeuvring thrusters to help them adjust their orbit. If I can hack into the navigational sub routine, I can make the satellite come crashing down from space." Vee explained while holding the Damocles file.
"Great." Fowler replied with a smile before he looked around awkwardly. "Say, umm, which way's the bathroom?"
The Hexside Squad turned to look at him in disbelief.
"Seriously?" Willow questioned.
"That's not a good idea, Mr Fowler." Skara said. "If Luz's mom comes back and catches you on her human toilet…"
"Relax. I'm trained in covert-ops." Fowler assured.
"That still doesn't put me at ease. My Mama always knows what happens in this house, even when she's not in it." Luz stated, earning a raised eyebrow from the special agent.
(Linebreak)
On the Nemesis, Megatron saw a warning message on the monitor to show that someone was hacking into Project Damocles.
"An intruder in the system?" Megatron asked before shoving CYLAS away. "Soundwave, we have a breach."
The monitor's visual map started tracking the hacker's signal and displayed the location.
"Gravesfield, Connecticut." CYLAS identified. "It can only be the Autobots' Witch allies."
"Then perhaps you should attend to the matter." Megatron replied.
"Surely one of your subordinates is more suitable-" CYLAS began to say.
"Now!" Megatron shouted sternly.
(Linebreak)
Arcee and Cliffjumper drove straight away from a Damocles laser that was chasing them, while Smokescreen managed to get a clear distance and saw the headquarters ahead of him.
"Clear shot! I'm going in!" Smokescreen stated before he drove straight for the headquarters, only to steer away from a laser that was fired straight in front of him. "Scratch that!"
"We can't do this forever!" Cliffjumper called out.
"All we have to do is wait for Vee to hack into that satellite!" Bumblebee replied, making a quick u-turn away from the laser.
(Linebreak)
Back in Gravesfield, CYLAS was driving down the streets in his vehicle form and stopped right in front of the Noceda residence before aiming his tank cannon towards the house.
"Goodnight, hacker." CYLAS said, preparing to fire the cannon with the Hexside Squad in his sight.
But then, Bulkhead drove out of other side of the road and rammed straight into CYLAS, causing him to turn over as the dark-green Wrecker dragged him across the road to get far away from the Noceda residence.
"Good call on curbside duty, Ratch!" Bulkhead remarked.
Bulkhead and CYLAS soon arrived at a bridge gutter near the neighbourhood and they both fell straight into it before transforming, landing on their feet and slowly circling each other.
"Been itching to beat the scrap out of you for a long time, now. Breakdown's been getting too common for me." Bulkhead said with a glare. "Where've you been, Brawl?"
"Be patient. I'm about to send you there." CYLAS answered.
"You're not Brawl." Bulkhead realised, noticing his voice was much different.
"But you are Bulkhead." CYLAS said while smirking. "And this is the last time you'll interfere with one of my operations."
Bulkhead's eyes widened in shock when he finally realised who this Brawl lookalike was.
"Silas?" Bulkhead asked in astonishment.
"In the flesh, in a manner of speaking." CYLAS quipped before he created a blue Glyph symbol in his right hand and formed an ice hammer from it.
"Should've known you would have Luz's Glyphs magic, too." Bulkhead admitted. "That's just cheating."
"I call it winning." CYLAS replied, charging at Bulkhead with a shout.
Bulkhead brought out his wrecking ball and attacked CYLAS, who blocked him and smacked Bulkhead away with his ice hammer. CYLAS went in for another attack, but Bulkhead avoided him and managed to hit CYLAS with his wrecking ball. But when Bulkhead tried to smash him again, CYLAS easily blocked him and uses his free hand to shoot out a fire ball from a Fire Glyph. Bulkhead crashed against the wall and looked up to see CYLAS making a taunting gesture at him, causing the dark-green Wrecker to shout out angrily and charge at him.
(Linebreak)
At the Autobot base, Ratchet attempted to call Bulkhead on what was happening.
"Bulkhead, do you read? Bulkhead?" Ratchet asked, but got no response.
(Linebreak)
Meanwhile at the headquarters, Soundwave was nearly done downloading the codes as he continued operating Project Damocles. Optimus managed to shoot down two Vehicons before a Damocles laser was fired near him, causing the Autobot leader to immediately run away from it.
"Optimus, I fear that Bulkhead requires immediate backup!" Ratchet called on the com-link.
(Linebreak)
"Come on, where did they put the substring?" Vee asked as she was still trying to hack Project Damocles.
"Try looking on that part." Amity replied, pointing to a left part of the computer screen.
Fowler then arrived back in the room and closed the door, having just finished his buisness at the bathroom.
"FYI, you're low on TP." Fowler said sheepishly.
(Linebreak)
CYLAS easily dodged Bulkhead's attack as the dark-green Wrecker was still suffering from his crippled effects.
"Reaction time is slow. You're favouring your right side." CYLAS said while dodging Bulkhead's wrecking ball with little effort and noticing him struggling to move. "Legs are weak."
When Bulkhead tried attacking again, CYLAS dodged and smashed him with the ice hammer, sending the dark-green Wrecker crashing back.
"I'll show ya weak." Bulkhead grunted, standing back up and going in for a strike.
However, CYLAS moved behind Bulkhead and summoned a long vine from a Plant Glyph before striking Bulkhead on the back with it. This caused Bulkhead to crash forward onto the ground and skid across the floor in pain.
"You should've stayed in bed, Autobot." CYLAS said mockingly, approaching Bulkhead preparing to crush him with his ice hammer.
But then, he heard some transforming noises and the human/Cybertronian hybrid was kicked away by Wheeljack and Smokescreen. Bulkhead looked up in surprise as his fellow Wrecker and the Autobot rookie approached him.
"You had to join the fight, didn't you, Bulk?" Wheeljack asked with a sly smile.
"Assist, what the new guy's for." Smokescreen said, pounding lightly onto his chest.
He and Wheeljack grabbed Bulkhead's hands and pulled him back up before turning to a fully-recovered CYLAS.
"One new guy to another…" CYLAS said sinisterly, cracking his neck and bringing out Brawl's spike hammer. "This is your final day on the job!"
CYLAS rushed straight at Bulkhead, Wheeljack and Smokescreen and threw his hammer down, causing them to dodge.
(Linebreak)
Meanwhile, Soundwave noticed a warning sign on the screen and he pressed a button that sent the image to Megatron, who saw it on the monitor.
"They're attempting to disable the satellite! CYLAS, how difficult is it to squash a mere child?" Megatron asked loudly, but got no response. "CYLAS!"
Soundwave then finished uploading the interface codes for Project Damocles.
"We have the codes? Then target the intruder and destroy them!" Megatron ordered.
Soundwave started commanding Project Damocles, which was chasing Bumblebee before it then started to move away from the area.
"This is our opportunity! Autobots, storm the command center!" Optimus ordered.
"Don't need to tell us twice!" Jazz stated enthusiastically before the Autobots charged at the headquarters.
(Linebreak)
Vee was still trying her hardest to hack into Project Damocles.
"I'm almost there." Vee said.
But then, the Hexside Squad and Fowler noticed the target sight for Damocles was moving away.
"Vee, you did it!" Willow remarked happily.
"Yeah, it's moving!" Gus added.
"Uhh, that's not me." Vee replied in concern, much to the others' surprise.
Damocles powered down and uses it's thrusters to change position, powering up to fire another laser.
(Linebreak)
Team Prime charged at the headquarters and they successfully shot down all the Vehicons in the process.
"That's all of them!" Cliffjumper announced as they went for the entrance.
(Linebreak)
The Hexside Squad and Fowler saw the target sight was now showing a familiar area.
"Uh, guys, isn't that Gravesfield?" Luz questioned.
"It is, and I can see a lot of buildings on it." Skara said.
However, what made everyone so worried was that the target stopped on a very familiar building.
"And there's our house, right in their target sights!" Vee exclaimed worriedly.
"They're gonna fire on us!" Hunter shouted.
"Anytime, kid!" Fowler urged.
"Full thruster burn!" Vee yelled as she quickly typed on the keyboard and pressed a final button.
One of Project Damocles' thrusters activated and blew the satellite down to Earth as it fired a laser at the same time, which ended up missing the Noceda residence. At the Gravesfield Historical Society, the witch hunter wannabe owner of the building, Jacob, was locking the front door with a grumpy look on his face.
"Those cops say I'm a crazy old fool, Huh? Well, I'll show them once I find another one of those teeth-stealing demons and reveal them to the whole world." Jacob said to himself while marching down the steps. "Humanity will one day see that I'm it's one true hero."
But then, the Damocles laser struck a side of the Historical Society and a bunch of rubble began falling off it. Jacob looked up and screamed frightfully before the rubble crashed right ontop of him, burying the witch hunter wannabe in a pile of blown off stone.
"Ow." Jacob muttered painfully.
(Linebreak)
Megatron saw that Project Damocles had flown off target and he shouted out in anger.
(Linebreak)
Vee let out a sigh of relief as the other congratulated her.
"Yes, Vee!" Luz cheered.
"You saved us all!" Amity remarked.
"Alright!" Skara shouted in happiness.
"Way to go!" Gus said with a bright smile.
"You're a genius!" Fowler complemented.
"Definitely!" Hunter added.
"Just when I thought you couldn't get anymore greater!" Willow stated kindly.
Just then, the door opened up and everyone quickly turned to see Camila staring at them with a surprised expression.
"Luz? Vee? What's going on in here?" Camila asked.
"We…had to save the world again." Luz answered as she and everyone else her a bunch of awkward smiles.
(Linebreak)
Inside the headquarters, the Autobots had shot down the last Vehicon and they blew open the door into the server room. But when they got in, they saw that Soundwave had already transformed and flew away before they could shoot him.
(Linebreak)
At the same time, Wheeljack struck CYLAS multiple times with his swords while not giving the human/Cybertronian hybrid a chance to react before kneeing him in the gut. Bulkhead punched CYLAS and made him turn around, allowing Smokescreen to jump up and kick him on the other side. CYLAS was sent flying back and crashed against the floor with a weak groan.
"CYLAS, return to base immediately." Megatron said on the com-link.
CYLAS then fired a missile from his back's tank cannon and Bulkhead, Wheeljack and Smokescreen quickly avoided it, causing a massive explosion. When the smoke cleared away, the three Autobots saw CYLAS running into a Ground Bridge and disappearing once it closed. Bulkhead, Wheeljack and Smokescreen looked up into the sky and saw Project Damocles descending from space as a blazing projectile while separating into many pieces.
"Looks like someone's big plan just burned up in re-entry." Wheeljack remarked before he and his two comrades shared a special high-five.
"And for the record, I studied every one of the Wreckers' battles." Smokescreen said with a smile.
"There's hope for you yet, newbie." Bulkhead complemented, finally accepting Smokescreen as a member of Team Prime.
"Told you he'd come around." Wheeljack said, placing a respectful hand on Smokescreen's shoulder.
(Linebreak)
On the Nemesis, CYLAS was standing before Megatron with Soundwave by his leader's side.
"CYLAS, you have earned your place at the table." Megatron said.
"Lord Megatron, I am honoured." CYLAS replied gratefully.
"Knock Out's dissection table." Megatron corrected with a glare.
Hearing this, CYLAS fearfully looked back to see Knock Out, Breakdown and Wildrider standing behind him with their weapons out.
"Brawl would be tickled." Knock Out said with a very satisfied smirk, while Breakdown and Wildrider simply chuckled.
"No, Lord Megatron. Why?!" CYLAS questioned, stepping back.
"Because Damocles was the best you had to offer, and it is no more. The magic factor did indeed tip the scales…" Megatron explained before Soundwave showed the photo the took of the Hexside Squad when first arriving at Earth. "In favour of my enemies."
CYLAS was left speechless before Knock Out zapped him with his electric staff and Breakdown smacked him on the head with his sledgehammer, causing him to fall back. All CYLAS could do was weakly look up at the Decepticons towering over him.
"He will be a fascinating case for study." Megatron said.
"Don't worry, Lord Megatron. We'll make sure to enjoy every second of it." Wildrider replied, smirking deviously at the human/Cybertronian hybrid.
"We will leave no fibre or fibre optic unexamined." Knock Out added as he tapped on CYLAS exposed eye.
"Take him away, boys." Breakdown ordered.
Two Vehicons grabbed CYLAS and started dragging him away as Knock Out, Breakdown and Wildrider followed.
"No, no. Megatron, I'm here to serve you!" CYLAS begged as he was carried through the main deck's exit. "No! No, no, no, NOOOOOO!"
The door then closed up to leave CYLAS' fate unknown. With him now left to be tortured by Knock Out's hands and all of his remaining troops disposed of, this meant only one thing. This was the end of M.E.C.H.
