After carefully landing the ship, a ship that only Ratchet knew the name of Omega Supreme for, Optimus and Lancex disembarked. And once on solid ground outisde the ship, Optimus transformed into his regular earth mode of a fire truck. And since Lancex was unable to transform, he jumped up onto Optimus' back as a they headed off. They were on their way back to the Autobot base. There was much work to do.

Soon enough, though seeming too soon in one bot's optics, they reached the Autobot base. Lancex carefully jumped off of Optimus so Optimus could transform back when he was ready. The pair was greeted at the base by Ratchet, Sari, and the rest of the other Autobots. Optimus quickly transformed back to his bipedal mode once Lancex was no longer on top of him. As Optimus and Lancex headed in, Lancex stopped. Optimus was baffled and was about to ask Lancex about what was wrong, when a big gray and red thundering metallic beast came out and nearly flattened Lancex, though the dinobot shaped being only succeeded in knocking Lancex to the ground.

It was Grimlock. He laid atop Lancex, thoroughly pinning the bot to the ground. And while Optimus was miffed to realize that the dinobots had not been destroyed as he had been told as he didn't like being lied to, this seemed like something more than just being left online. Lie or not, Grimlock didn't care if the others were there or watching. All Grimlock was concerned about making Lancex the dinobot's mate. Lancex squirmed a little, for while Grimlock didn't mind this, Lancex did mind but there was nothing he could do about it. Grimlock thoroughly pinned the bot, and he couldn't even reach his sword as Grimlock's tail seemed to pin that to Lancex's side. Not that he really had the ability to reach at the moment thanks for Grimlock and the kiss.

Even with that, Grimlock placed a big,heated kiss right on Lacnex's lips, earning a deep moan from the bot that the bot had unwilling allowed to slip out. While Lancex's body was somewhat enjoying this, Lancex's spark and Ryu were less enthused, with Ryu being almost ready to come forth on his own, but he thought better of it for now. He would bide his time… for now.
