As Optimus and the other two headed back to he run down auto plant turned Autobot base, Prowl and Bulkhead worked carefully to remove the three dinobots that had been caught in the tar. It wasn't easy, but they were able to do so without any bot or human aware of what they were doing, at least so far.
And soon, thanks to an unattended ferry, Prowl and Bulkhead transferred the three dinosaur bots to a nearby random island, having no idea that this was the place Lancex had resided since the Autobots had appeared and he no longer used his camouflage. But since the area appeared safe for the three dinobots, Prowl and Bulkhead left the three there. "You think the three bots will be happy here?" Bulkhead asked, "and that we did the right thing?"
Prowl nodded and then placed a holographic imager. "Yes, they will be happy here and with this imager, no one will ever bother them here" Prowl replied, turning on the device.
"What about Prime?" Bulkhead asked.
"What about him? He doesn't need to know about this" Prowl uttered. Only then did the two bots leave. Lancex had seen them leave from his point of view, but wasn't really sure why they had come here only to suddenly leave. He would soon find out, as he would soon discover that he was no longer alone on this island.
Grimlock looked around at his new home. "Cars and trucks BAD…Nature…good" Grimlock uttered as he looked around. Upon looking up, Grimlock spotted a bot resting on the tree that the bird had been in. Grimlock was not pleased, not pleased at all. Grimlock transformed into his robot mode, liking the flame sword that had shown up. "me like." Now Grimlock was ready to challenge this new bot, with Swoop and Snarl stnading by if needed.
Grimlock stomped as he approached and roared fiercely, ready to fight this bot but a powerful, intense force came from the strange bot, flattening all three dinobots, making each unabke to get up and attack the bot. Grimlock groaned a bit before trying to get up. Grimlock didn't like this but there was little he could do other than leave the bot. Lancex, for his part, kept the spirit pulse around himself to stay safe. Lancex watched as Grimlock slowly got up and wandered off, leaving the strange bot alone for now. Lancex, for his part, didn't realize his powerful energy would not only drive off the dinobots, but would also give them full sparks, even as he continued to pulse it around him.
Meanwhile, back in the city, Sumdac came back to see the dinobots, to melt them down, but he was puzzled and gravely concerned when he realized all three had disappeared without a trace. Where could they have gone? And why? He hoped he would find the answer soon.
