After a few minutes of what like a forever long stalemate, Megatron finally decided to make his move. Impatient about the stalemate and delay, Megatron lunged at Lancex. Quick on his feet, Lamcex raced towards the surly tyrant, weapon drawn. In what seemed like an instant, Lancex was face to face with Megatron, grabbing the tyrant's face in the mystery bot's left hand, and then taking off. "Let's take this some where private" Lancex bellowed as he and Megatron suddenly vanished from sight. The other Autobots and the Decepticons who were left were all stunned, most speechless though not all.

"LORD MEGATRON!" Blitzwing and Lugnut cried out, though with more raw emotion from Lugnut. And with both freaked out, they changed into their aerial bot modes and fled, with all the Autobots failing to notice that the pair had abducted Isaac Sumdac as they left in search of their tyrant leader.

Once the pair was gone, Optimus had a chance to stop and think. And in thinking, he grew worried for Lancex. "Ratchet, I'm heading back to our hidden base and using our ship to go find Lancex and help him" Optimus shouted before he took off. It was all Ratchet and the others could do to nod as their leader left towards the sea while the four others headed back to the above ground base. Optimus made a bee line for their ship, that Ratchet for some reason called Omega Supreme. Optimus could only hope he could get where he needed to go and fast.

Meanwhile, back with Lancex and Megatron, the scenery had certainly changed. The next thing Megatron felt was being slammed hard into the ground. Lancex stood over the bot, waiting to see just what this vile bot would bring to the party. Lancex knew enough not to stand right over the bot, but huis many battles had taught him how to stand just close enough to appear standing over the bot yet far enough away to be safe from surprises. Megatron growled as he glared at the bot, whose sword was drawn and ready for battle. Time seemed to be at a stand still, awaiting to see who would strike first.
