Shortly after the others left, Sari's phone beeped with an urgent sound. She answered it and was immediately notified that there was a major malfunction at one of her father's plants and it was wreaking havoc in the city. Instead of being useful bots, they were attacking and destroying things including the plant itself in some ways.
With no other recourse, Sari begged Bumblebee to take Sari to the place immediately. Upon hearing what was going on, Bee agreed, apologized to Jazz and then headed out, speeding away with Sari in tow. Jazz, not wanting to be left behind, soon followed.
Meanwhile, with Grimlock in his normal bot mode was holding Lancex closely. Lancex blushed a bit, as this was a bit awkward, amongst other things. Snarl and Swoop watched as the T-Rex bot got a bit hands with Lancex. It was a bit weird, but Lancex was starting to feel like this wasn't so bad, in one sense, through Grimlock did have a habit of overdoing things at times.
Meanwhile, the door of the space ship opened and out shot Bee, in a super hurry. Jazz followed quickly behind Bee. Lancex wanted to go and help, but Grimlock had too tight of a grip on the bot and so Lancex wasn't able to go with Bee or the others at this as they headed out to help at the plant. Grimlock, glad that they others were now gone, drew Lancex close and planted a searing hot kiss on the bot, not caring who saw. Lance moaned into the kiss and felt like this was starting to feel less awkward and more okay, but he still wasn't quite ready to give in.
Elsewhere, Optimus and the bots with him were drawing closer and closer to the area where the battle with the cons had been. Sentinel complained the entire time, as he never liked anything organic, especially after what had occurred years ago even though it was his own fault. He was pleased to let Optimus take the fall on that. But here, he wasn't able to get away from the organics as they were here until Ultra Magnus was satisfied. Optimus led on, he hoped he could convince Ultra Magnus but that would be a tall ask.
