On the very top of Sumdac tower, Bumblebee was on his knees, panting like an overheated dog. Though panting hard, Bumblebee glared intensely at his attacker. Starscream, enjoying the disgusting Auotbot being on his knees, smirked his evil yet typical smirk. "You have two choices…either you become my breeder bot…or I destroy you" Starscream sneered as he stared down at the bot.
Before Bumblebee could respond or Starscream could move, a familiar voice bellowed "or I destroy you" came the dark response, a sharp, heated blade resting on the side of the evil seeker's neck, or at least what passed for it. Bee smiled in relief while the cowardly seeker was shocked. Regaining his senses, Starscream turned around to see who was behind him, but Lancex was a few steps ahead of the oafish seeker and was soon standing in front of Bumblebee.
Upon seeing nothing behind him, Starscream tried to indignantly turn back to Bumblebee, only to run smack into a different bot. "Who are you, you pathetic excuse for a bot?" Starscream demanded to know, but Lancex refused to answer. "Answer me, you foul …" was as far as Starscream got before Lancex thwarted the seeker who had charged at the mystery bot.
"Flame sword style seven form: fire quick draw" barked Lancex, interrupting the oafish charging seeker. And using the sword and the seeker's own momentum, Lancex moved the seeker along, cutting the bot with what seemed like fire as the seeker passed by. Starscream fell towards the ground screaming in pain. "You okay?" Bee nodded, but asked for help for his teammates against Megatron. "Good, now to save your teammates."
"Please, as I don't think they will survive this attack by Megatron without help" Bee added. Lancex nodded and was off, with bee in tow. Before Bee realized it, both he and Lancex were on the ground.
A short distance away, Optimus was down and one knee and injured while Prowl, Ratchet, and Bulkhead had even worse damage. Megatron smirked as he had a weapon pointed straight at Optimus, near the bot's neck. "Oh I shall enjoy this" Megatron announced in a grovelly voice. But before he could move his sword, Lancex suddenly appeared. Megaton was completely caught off guard while the Autobots were surprised yet relieved. Optimus tried not to smile as he was relieved, while the confused Megatron was puzzled by this mysterious bot who had seemingly appeared out of thin air.
Lancex looked between Optimus and Megatron, and had one thing to say, "who is this rip off Gladiator?" Referring to Megatron. Megatron was livid and tried to damage both Optimus and the mystery bot, but Optimus gave off a secret Autobot based warning to Lancex, Optimus' secret crush, and Lancex was able to whip around and use his sword to stop the evil tyrant for now. Megatron studied the mystery bot and was pleased to see the bot would make a good breeder bot, at least in Megatron's deprived processor.
Lancex studied the evil tyrant. Secretly, Lancex asked Ryu about using a certain fire power based in the sword. Ryu told Lancex no, as it would burn the entire city down. Lancex silently swore. For now, Megatron and Lancex had a stare down, the question being who would flinch first.
