After getting Snarl,Slam and Bulkhead back to base, Optimus and the others continued their quest to find the other Dinobots, they roamed through the jungles for about a few minutes in silence watching carefully at there surroundings for any of the Dinobots however Optimus Prime was keeping his eyes out for something else, like that thing he saw with the many glowing eyes that killed that Vehicon. Arcee noticed his ever vigilant expression as he looked around the tree tops as well as his blaster glowing and ready to fire "Optimus are you alright,i know the Dinobot situation is a bit unnerving but we're not trying to kill them."Arcee said with a bit concern "we are not alone here."Optimus Prime said with serseriousness "Well...of course the Dinobots..."Arcee wss interrupted by Optimus "I wasn't referring to the Dinobots or the Decepticons,something else is out here I don't know where."Optimus Prime said as he looked around at the trees Bumblebee buzzed while looking around for whatever Optimus is looking for "Whatever it was Bumblebee i don't know,but keep an eye out for anything that doesn't look like either a Dinobot or a Decepticons."Optimus said looking around at the dark treetops.
After walking for several more minutes the group arrived in a big field which was mosty quiet save for a few crickets, the group looked all around environment as they walked through the field the silence unnerving them. Bumblebee looked left and right until he did a double take as he noticed something big moving in a little river approximately 70 yards away, it was a massive red glowing sail like thing moving through the water.
Bumblebee buzzed getting everyone's attention as he pointed towards the river and the sail "What is that?"Arcee asked narrowing her eyes in confusion the Dinobot trio knew exactly who that was "It's Scorn."Slash said as she immediately darted towards the river "Wait Slash."Sludge said running after her with the others following behind them. The group watched as the sail moved slowly through the water 20 feet from the shore,The Dinobots knew that Scorn in his Dino mode was a walking engine of destruction and fighting him is a terrible idea they remembered the last time they tangled with a crazed angry Scorn..
Flashback Montage
Slug was about to radio Grimlock and tell him about the three new Dinobots until there was a massively loud boom followed by a roar that shook the entire hallways,this was also followed by distant blasterfire and yelling and screams that quickly cut off. "What was that?"Slam asked in confusion and slight fear "Was that Grimlock?"Snarl asked Slug shook his head as he had heard Grimlock's dino roar before and this wasn't it "No,it sounded bigger."Slug said.
"Scorn hi, you probably don't know me but know that I'm a friend I'm on your side, me and some other friends have been searching for you I'm glad you're alright and-Whoa!"Slash immediately did a backflip out of the way of Scorn's jaws which tried to clamp down on her.
Slam was flung from Scorn's head and he landed on the ground rolling a little bit then he looked at Scorn who was staring back at him growling menacingly then Slam stood up gripping the mace tightly.
"Whoa he's a big one."Swoop said slightly intimidated by Scorn's size.
Scorn flicked Slam away with his snout and turned to see the other Dinobots charging towards him with a Growl scorn swung his tail hitting Snarl and knocking him into Sludge, Slash changed into velociraptor mode and jumped on Scorn's neck making him thrash around trying to get her off "Scorn you got to snap out of it, we're your friends!"Slash declared and with a big thrash slash went flying off transforming in midair and landed on her feet a few yards away sliding to a stop.
Hey Scorn!"A voice from from above called out everyone looked to see Swoop flying downward in Pteranodon mode,he fired a missile that directly hit Scorn on his side but it didn't seem to damage or wound him. Sludge and Slam charged forward with their hammer and mace and they began whacked Scorn's legs making him fall over to the ground "everyone hold him!"Grimlock commanded and then the Dinobots pounced on Scorn in an effort to pin him to the ground.
but then everyone froze for a second when they saw the sail on Scorn's back glow red a little bit and then he started to stand up and holding him down started to become more difficult,then with a mighty thrash and roar he threw the Dinobots in all directions and they all landed on the ground hard.
"Ok we need to bring this to an end and fast,any suggestions?"Swoop asked looking around the group.
"I might have something."Grimlock said as he walked towards Scorn who glared at him with hostile intent "Wha.. what is he doing?"Paddles asked in bewilderment at Grimlock's plan. "Come on Scorn,is that all you got,where's that tough gladiator that almost bested me in the arena millions of years ago, don't tell me he's gone soft after all this time!"Grimlock taunted Scorn growled viciously and charged at Grimlock roaring with primal fury. Grimlock viser glowed red briefly as Scorn got closer and closer until he was close enough.
Pulling out his shield and holding it in front of him Grimlock charged forward and hit Scorn in the legs causing him to fly forward and land on the ground with a massive thud and he slid to a stop just mere feet from the group. With a snort Scorn began getting up acting quickly Sludge charged at him hammer in hand and he raised it up and brought it down directly onto Scorn's head causing a little shockwave and Scorn collapsed back onto the ground unconscious.
Flashback End
"Ok Scorn has the same solar absorbing ability Snarl has so this is going to be rough."Paddles "yep."Sludge clutching his hammers watching the sail moving down river, "do you have a plan?"Arcee asked "i'm forming one."Paddles said "form one fast because the party has started."Slash said firing a couple of blasts near the sail which made it stop and then it rose above the water revealing a mechanical Spinosaurus, water poured down from it's back as it lead out a roar and it glared at the group growling.
Bumblebee began firing at Scorn each shot bouncing off the Dinobot's body and making him angrier as he stomped towards the shore growling at them and then he roared and charged at Bumblebee first and before Bumblebee could react Scorn flicked him away with his snout and tail wacked Paddles away, then he charged at Optimus with jaws open Optimus braced himself but Sludge stood in front of him and held him back by his jaws. "Ugh come on Scorn!"Sludge grunted as he shoved Scorn back and grabbed his hammer and swung at Scorn but missed and Scorn spun around and tail swiped him away,Scorn snapped at Arcee and Slash who dodged out of the way and Optimus fired a few shots into Scorn's head making him glare at him before Scorn breathed fire at him but Optimus dodged out of the way just in time.
Just the Ratchet's voice came through the comlinks "Optimus Snarl and Slam have been cleared for duty." just then a groundbridge opened up behind him and Snarl and Slam came out "welcome to the party boys."Slash said happy to see them "Ratchet gave us the rundown on what's going on,reinforcements have arrived."Slam said as he charged at Scorn and transformed into Ankylosaurus mode and swung his tail at Scorn who dodged and tried to bite Slam but his armored back protected him "ahhh Scorn knock that off!"Slam exclaimed as he wacked him with his tail. Snarl fired a few shots from his blaster then transformed into Stegosaurus mode and swung the thagomizer at Scorn who growled at him and swiped his claws at him.
"Scorn snap out of it brother,we're your teammates."Slam said as Sludge came out of nowhere and slammed into Scorn's side knocking him off balance a little "he won't listen to reason,we have to knock some sense into him."Sludge said as Slam transformed into robot mode and pulled out his mace as Scorn growled at him "come on big guy."Slam said as Scorn charged at him roaring. Slam rolled to the side dodging Scorn bite and he quickly leaped and whacked Scorn on top of the head as hard as he could Scorn grunted and stumbled a little but he was still standing, Sludge grabbed a hammer and tossed the other one to Snarl.
Then the both charged at Scorn Sludge struck Scorn on the head first then Snarl and Slam immediately dealt the finishing blow by throwing his mace at Scorn striking him in the head making Scorn collapse unconscious, the group sighed as Scorn was neutralized, the Dinobots gathered around their comrade,Arcee was approaching as well until she froze as she heard rapid footsteps coming from behind her, she turned around and immediately saw a horned creature charging towards her and with no time to get out of the way the creature batted Arcee away with it's horns making her cry out in pain "Arcee!"Optimus shouted in alarm as the horned stopped in front of them and let out a ferocious bellow.
