Starscream was rewatching Megatron's foolish demise happily. Now that Megatron was dead, he was now the one in charge. "Such a shame, but I applaud you Megatron. You certainly made a grand exit." he said before he noticed Soundwave walked up to him. "Ah, Soundwave. Que the audio/visual. I wish to address the troops." Soundwave obliges and Starscream's face has appeared on every screen and his message was heard throughout the ship. "The loss of Megatron, leader of the great Decepticon uprising, is certainly a blow to our cause. Yet we mustn't despair over his tragic demise but instead embrace his ultimate sacrifice and build upon the foundation he laid with an even mightier hand." Vehicon: "With all due respect, Commander Star- uh, Lord Starscream." "Yes, yes. What is it?" "If we failed to conquer Earth under Lord Megatron's command, what hope do we have now while the Autobot's still defend it?" "[sighs] Allow me to be crystal clear. I studied for millennia under our former master. Thus, I am equipped to lead you -- I, Megatron's true heir, Lord Starscream, emperor of destruction!" he said egotistically and proudly, though none of the troops agreed with him as they murmured. Starscream: "What? [scoffs] What use are troops who can't rise to the task of inflicting unspeakable destruction in my name." Starscream then remembered something the moment he said this. "Ah, but wait. Legend tells of one capable warrior, one who exists here, upon this very planet, one who can be student to my master.
Back at the Autobot base, Optimus is staring at nothing, looking rather upset for some reason. Ratchet: "Optimus, why so glum? This planet- all planets are finally free from Megatron's tyranny." Optimus: "I do not disagree, Ratchet. It's just... a small part of me hoped to change Megatron's mind, not extinguish his spark." Ratchet couldn't really believe what he was hearing. "Optimus, his vileness was not slain by your hand but by his own twisted arrogance." Optimus simply just sighed at this. Ratchet: "I'm sorry. I know the two of you had quite a history." Optimus: "But the Megatron I once fought beside perished eons ago, the day he chose to become a Decepticon. The Decepticons may be in disarray, but they aren't without leadership. And while Starscream is no Megatron, he is far from predictable." Immediately after he said this, an explosion happened on the other side of the room. Ratchet: "Decepticons! We are under attack!" he called out as he and Optimus ran over to the explosion only to see it was Raf.
Raf: "It's no attack, Ratchet. [coughing] It's my volcano. [coughs again] Or was." he says seeing his volcano melted. Ratchet hears welding and looks over to see Nakala making something robotic with Elita. Miko: "Hold still, Bulkhead, Jupiter needs its red spot." she says only drop some of the paint on the ground. "Whoopsie!" Ratchet: "What...in the AllSpark, is going on in here?" Jack: "Our projects are do tomorrow." he says near a motorcycle Arcee is trying to help him build. Arcee: "Maybe it needs one of these doohickeys." Jack: "You're a motorcycle, Arcee. Shouldn't you know how to build a motorcycle engine?" Arcee: "You're a human, Jack. Can you build me a small intestine?" Nakala snickers at the sass. Ratchet: Well, you can't work on these projects in here. You're...making a mess." Raf: "But the science fair's a big part of our grade." Miko: "Yeah, if Bulkhead doesn't help me finish this model of our solar system --" Ratchet: "Oh? And what does Bulkhead know of your solar system, or Bumblebee of your volcanoes, or --" Jack: "Arcee of our motorcycles?" Ratchet: "Precisely, we're not earthlings. And they're not scientists." Optimus: "But the Autobots are their guardians, Ratchet. Would it hurt to learn more of Earth by helping our young friends with their schoolwork?" Ratchet: "Well, maybe our young friends should try learning more of Cybertron."
We now see Starscream, Soundwave and Blitzwing standing on a rocky cliff with a canyon beneath. Blitzwing: "Lord Starscream, what exactly are we doing here at this rocky place?" Starscream: "During the great war, so much energon was hidden on this forsaken rock that our departed master sent some of Cybertron's greatest to guard it: True warriors now laying in stasis, just waiting to be reawakened." "And our departed master never thought of that?" [slight chuckle] Such folly that, late in life, Megatron searched distant space for warriors rather than here beneath his feet." Soundwave doesn't say a thing as his sensor is beeping, but Starscream has gotten use to what his silence means in certain situations. "What do you mean you can't pinpoint his signal? I know we are close! Boost the power to your sensors!" Soundwave does just that and is able to pinpoint the location of a Decepticon warrior. "Yes. There." Starscream says pointing at the spot on Soundwave's visor. They three transform and fly off to the location to reawaken the mystery warrior.
Back at base, Raf is listening to Bumblebee talk about war ranks while finishing his volcano. Bee: "[buzzing]" Raf: "Uh-huh. Uh-huh." Bee: "[more buzzing]" Raf: "Really, Bumblebee? Then how do you make warrior class?" Bee: "[explanation buzz]" Raf: "But I've seen you in action. You're awesome!" Bee: "[buzzes then gets cut off]" Optimus puts a hand on Bee's shoulder before speaking. "I second your opinion, Raf. But Autobot life cycles are much longer than those of humans. And though it may be hard to believe our young scout still has much to experience." Beeping on the computer happens right after he says that. Ratchet: "Exposed energon, and it's on the move." Bulkhead: "And since we ain't moving it, guess who must be." Arcee: "Decpeticons." Miko: "Without Megatron?" Optimus: "Unfortunately, Megatron's legacy will live on as others rise to take his place. Autobots, you have projects to complete. Ratchet, I may require aid." Ratchet looks back at Raf and starts having second thoughts. "Science fair is a big part of their grade. Perhaps I'm better suited to remain behind and advise." Optimus just looks to the side before responding to Ratchet's sudden change of mind. "Very well. Bumblebee, let us see about this energon in transit." Bumblebee nodded, but Elita stepped up. "I'll go as well. I don't think Nakala really needs my help with what he's really doing." Optimus: "What do you mean by that, Elita?" Elita: "He's the son of Soundwave making a robot." she said like it should've been obvious. Ratchet took a moment for it to sink in before realizing what she meant. "By the AllSpark."
Back at the canyon, Blitzwing and and Soundwave are pulling out some large box with a square hole in the middle. Starscream: "Excellent, Soundwave and Blitzwing." he said walking over to it. "The cube." Soundwave pulls out a small box containing an energon cube, which Starscream puts inside the square-shaped hole. "The energon infusion -- it's working." he said before a bright light nearly blinds the trio. Meanwhile, a ground-bridge portal opens nearby and out comes Optimus, Elita, and Bumblebee, and they immediately notice something is off as they look in a certain direction. Elita: "That's strange." Bee: "[buzzing]" Optimus: "No, Bumblebee, it does not. Hold your position and await my command." he said as he and Elita walked forward. Back with the 'cons, the energon infusion is complete and the box is opening up. Starscream: "Awaken warrior. Rise and serve your new master!" he said with pride to the taller green seeker by the name of Skyquake. He walks out of his stasis box an slams his fists together in the air before leaning toward Starscream. "Skyquake serves only one master."
Starscream: "Excellent. Your loyalty and devotion will set a fine example for the troops. No need to be timid, Skyquake. You may bow." (A/N: -_- He just loves making a fool of himself, doesn't he) Skyquake: "You fail to grasp my meaning. I am here on a mission assigned to me by my one master: Megatron." Blitzwing: "Unfortunately, my fellow seeker, Megatron's spark has perished just recently." he said with clear sorrow in his voice. Skyquake: "Impossible." Starscream: "Why is this so difficult for everyone to accept. Skyquake, I located you. I awakened you. Thus I, Lord Starscream am now your master!" This made Skyquake angry as he leaned closer to Starscream's face aggressively with a growl, which made Starscream panic and back up. "It has been a while, Skyquake." a new voice suddenly spoke. They all turned to see it was Optimus with his sparkmate, Elita. Skyquake pushed Starscream aside and spoke. "Optimus Prime. I haven't seen you since the battle of Technar. Megatron ordered me to annihilate you." Optimus: "That was a long time ago." "That may be, Prime, but my orders still stand." We see Bumblebee listening from behind a rock. Elita: "Starscream, is this ancient war really still worth fighting to you? So many comrades have been lost, and worlds have been destroyed. Too much destruction and energon spilled has happened that never needed to. It has to stop now." Optimus: "Elita is right, Starscream. If you want to be a true leader, then stray from Megatron's path and lead the Decepticons toward peace."
Starscream: "I would be willing to consider a truce...if you would be willing to bow before me, Optimus Prime." Skyquake: "Again?! Bow to this!" he yelled before punching him in a wall. Starscream groaned as he got up in pain and flew off. Optimus: "Skyquake, this is a new era on another world. Side with the Autobots, and help me end this conflict forever." Skyquake: "I will never side with a Prime!" Blitzwing: "Pretty lady is mine." he said as both he and Skyquake charge at their targets and the fight began. Up above, Starscream lands next to Soundwave, shrugging off the blow he took from Skyquake. "[shudders] What need have I for peace when I have Skyquake. With some discipline, he will learn to respect his new master. And once it becomes known that Skyquake destroyed Optimus Prime under my command, all Decepticons will gratefully bow before me."
Optimus and Skyquake stare each other down while Elita and Blitzwing are going melee with each other. Optimus then pulls out his right blaster and starts shooting at Skyquake. It phases him slightly, but no where near enough to stop him from making a counter move quickly. He grabbed his minigun from his back and began shooting back, after Optimus missed two more shots. He shot at Optimus, which actually knocked him back and left him staggered. Bumblebee saw this as his opportunity to get involved and help out. Bee: "[buzzing]" Optimus: "Bumblebee, no!" he ordered, but Bumblebee ignored and began shooting at Skyquake. He turned around in response and started shooting back, but Bee was too fast for him to hit as he jumped from wall to wall. He tried to jump on Skyquake, but he was quick enough to grab Bumblebee with one hand and throw him to a wall. Just as he was about to shoot him, Optimus grabbed the gun and aimed it in the air, with the bullets going straight up. Bumblebee tried to jump on Skyquake again while he was occupied with Optimus, but Skyquake let go of his minigun to catch Bumblebee and throw him again.
Meanwhile, Blitzwing and Elita trading blows with their blades until they broke apart and stared each other down. Blitzwing: "It would be a shame to terminate such a pretty thing. You could join the winning side if you want to live." Elita: "Sorry, you're not my type. I already have someone I'm proud to be with." Blitzwing: "Suit yourself. RAAH!" he yelled charging at her. After a few more clashes, Blitzwing manages to scrape her face and kick her down on her stomach. Meanwhile, Starscream and Soundwave are up above watching the whole thing, with Soundwave recording it with his visor. Starscream: "Do not miss a single moment, Soundwave! We shall need visual documentation of Optimus Prime's demise, and his sparkmate's demise too of course, for the historical record." Optimus delivers a blow to Skyquake's face which he quickly counters with a punch to the face of his own. Optimus gets behind Skyquake and tries to suplex him, but Skyquake gets free immediately and smacks him away to Bumblebee.
Elita gets blown back and lands next to Skyquake thanks to Blitzwing shooting a missile near her. Skyquake picks her up by the face and punches her in the stomach once before throwing her toward Optimus who catches her. Bee: "[buzzing]" Optimus: "Skyquake has not yet acquired a vehicle mode." he said letting Elita stand. Blitzwing stood next to Blitzwing and readied his blasters after Skyquake picked up his minigun. They both charged at the trio with a battle cry. Optimus: "Fall back!" he ordered as the three transformed in their vehicle modes and drove off while creating a dust cloud, which was part of their plan. Skyquake: "So time has made you a coward, Prime?!" he said before he and Blitzwing shot at them.
Back at the Autobot base, Jack, Raf, Nakala and Miko are still working on their projects. Ratchet was originally gonna leave Nakala to his own thing, but knowing that Nakala is actually the son of Soundwave, Megatron's first and most trusted ally, he was going to make sure Nakala wasn't planning on something against them. For all he knows, Nakala could've been communicating to Soundwave through their bond throughout his time on Earth. But if that were also the case, he could've told Soundwave the location of their base by then. "Ratchet?" Nakala spoke up getting Ratchet to snap out of his thoughts. "You okay? You looked deep in thought." he asked while still focused on his first creation. Ratchet: "Y-Yes. I'm fine." Nakala: "Sure you weren't thinking about whether to trust me or not?" Ratchet flinched as he stuttered before Nakala stopped him. "I'm not dumb Ratchet. It's understandable to not trust someone who's the spawn of an enemy with great loyalty." he said not taking a glance at Ratchet who was staring with a look of a bit of surprise. "But I never heard of cybertronians until you all came along. When I discovered my true form, I thought was just a really high-tech robot that clearly wasn't from Earth. It's part of a reason I found my interest in space, wondering what else is out there besides us humans."
Ratchet: "You still consider yourself human after finding out what you really are???" Nakala: "I've been living on Earth my whole life, Ratchet, so despite me being cybertronian by blood, I'm a human by heart and spirit. Not only that, but I have friends and a family here." he said looking over at his brother Jack and best friend Raf who heard what he said. They smiled at him and he gave a small smile back before looking back at Ratchet with the same look he always has. "This is my home, Ratchet, and these are my people, so I will protect them no matter what. ...Even if it means knowing now that those I care about will be gone before I will. A sacrifice I don't want...but willing to accept." he said letting a single tear fall. Ratchet didn't know what to say at this point, seeing and hearing the truthfulness from him. He also remembers Nakala's mental breakdown from a couple of days ago. Ratchet: "What creation is this anyways? It's definitely based off one of your planet's birds." Nakala: "Bald eagle. It'll be my eyes and ears of the sky. The bald eagle can spot a small bunny just three miles away. Sometimes it'll attack other animals you don't expect it to attack -- animals bigger than it. Quite the beautiful predator." he said finishing the final touches of his creation before sending a shock through it with his tentacle. The robotic bald eagle shook before it's eyes lit up and stared at its creator as Nakala stared back curiously.
Nakala: "Can you hear me?" he asked before the eagle nodded its head. "Can you speak?" "Yes. I just didn't want to alarm you, dear creator." the eagle spoke in a female voice. "You got a name?" he asked knowing the answer already. "No. You have to name." "I figured. How about...WingBlade." "I like that." Nakala smiled before attaching his tentacle to her again and sent more shocks through. To Ratchet's surprise, Wingblade started growing in size 'til she was now approximately four feet tall. Nakala wanted this to be her size but didn't want to build her that way. He thought it would be best to start off small, especially since the size of parts here weren't big enough. He also has more creations in mind and wants to save as much as he can. Nakala: "Try flying." Wingblade extended her wings and took flight around the entire room while doing an eagle noise with everyone watching. Nakala activated his mass shifter and grew 'til he was Soundwave's height and held out his arm for Wingblade to land on. Once she landed, Ratchet scanned immediately scanned her to see if she had a spark, and not to his surprise, she did.
Ratchet: "You have just created a full fledged cybertronian. She even has a spark. Soundwave is the only other cybertronian that can do such a thing." Nakala already knew that since he did small talk with his sire sometime after Megatron's death. He wanted to know what his sire can do that no other cybertronian can, and making symbiotes was one of those things. In fact, their spark bond was open right now, so Soundwave felt Echos' sadness over something. He didn't reply because he was occupied by Starscream and didn't want him to feel something was off with him. Nakala turned away and tried to reach his sire and succeeded, saying he has something to show him and wondered if it was a good time. Soundwave said now was a good time because Starscream left, so Nakala opened up a ground-bridge to where he can feel the spark of his sire, surprising everyone in the room. Ratchet was mostly surprised that Nakala was able to do that in his human form. Wingblade flew off her creator's arm and onto his shoulder as they go through the ground bridge, not before Ratchet asks, "Where are you two going?" Nakaka: "Not your business."
Before Nakala went through the ground bridge to see his sire, Soundwave and Starscream had lost sight of the battle. Starscream: "We've lost sight of them. Soundwave, why aren't you tracking them?" Soundwave doesn't say a word as something else appears on his visor as it started beeping. "What? What is it?" he asks as he looks at what his visor is showing. At first it was nothing, but then a life signal appeared, confusing Starscream. "A second Decepticon life signal? But Skyquake is the only sleeper buried in this area." Starscream took a second look at the visor and noticed where the signal was really coming from. "The site of our destroyed space-bridge. You're not telling me that life signal belongs...to Megatron?" he said with surprise but also anger. "B-B-B-B-But he was microns from the detonation point! Nothing could've survived that blast! Your sensors must be faulty! Ignore the contact! Delete the coordinates!" Starscream then flinched after hearing the beeping still going and realized what he said and who he said it to. "[nervous sound] Oh, what am I saying? O-Of course this [nervous chuckle] must be investigated. If Lord Megatron is up there, I shall bring him home." Soundwave says nothing again as he just stares at him. If he weren't wearing his visor, Starscream would see him giving a suspicious look. "Remain here and monitor the outcome. When the sparks of Optimus Prime and Elita-One are snuffed, I must bear witness." he said as dived down and transformed, flying off to the destruction site. Soundwave watched as Starscream left and replayed what he said "Must bear witness." before detaching Laserbeak to follow 'cuz he doesn't trust him.
After that, the contact with his sparkling happens and Nakala/Echowave arrives, and Soundwave can already see what his sparkling wanted to show him. "Sire, my first creation: Wingblade. She's my eyes and ears of the sky." he said as she flew over to Soundwave. "Hi. Nice to meet the creator of my creator." she said jokingly, earning a small chuckle from Nakala. Soundwave simply nodded while smiling under his visor. Nakala took a moment to see his surroundings is confused. "Sire, what were you and Starscream doing here?" he asks. Soundwave urges his sparkling to follow, so Nakala turns into his Echowave form and follows while his sire explained everything through their bond. He obviously left out the part about Megatron possibly being alive, not wanting his sparkling to tell the Autobots. They eventually see Bumblebee being chased by two cybertronians who Nakala assumes is Skyquake and Blitzwing. Bumblebee drives into a dead end and the two catch up to him. Blitzwing: "Where's Optimus and his sparkmate?" he asked looking around. Skyquake: "Doesn't matter right now." he said before looking back at Bumblebee. "It will be a shame to crush you, bug, but it is my duty."
Just then, two horns can be heard from behind them and they turn to see Optimus and Elita charging at them so they instantly start shooting. Optimus took some of the hits of Skyquake while Elita simply dodged a bit before they both transformed while still having their momentum and punched the two in the wall. Elita: "That was a well thought strategy, Bumblebee. Well done." she said before Skyquake and Blitzwing weakly got unstuck from the wall and fell, seemingly out. Skyquake quickly shot his optics open and swiped at Optimus, but narrowly misses. Optimus: "Skyquake, stay down." he said punching him square in the face making him fall down again. Blitzwing was about to do something, but Elita and Bumblebee had their blasters aimed at him. Elita: "You'll be wise to stay down as well." Before anything else could be said or done, they notice a jet flying above them. Optimus: "Fowler?" Elita: "What's he doing here?" Skyquake takes notice of the aircraft and smirks before shooting green lights from his eyes to scan it. Optimus: "Agent Fowler, fall back!" he warned, but it was too late. The green lights went through the entire vehicle, sending a shock through the instruments in the process. Now Skyquake has the entire F-35 scanned and immediately got up to transform and take flight. Blitzwing: "Finally!" he said transforming into his jet mode, the McDonnell Douglas F-4 phantom II, and flew next to Skyquake, who flew next to the surprised Agent Fowler. "Well I'll be a bald eagle."
The two 'cons start flying towards the 'bots' direction, ready to fire. Skyquake: "Air superiority achieved." he said before both he and Blitzwing started shooting at them. Optimus, Elita and Bumblebee transform and start driving away. Blitzwing continued using normal rapid fire while Skyquake stopped to use a missile, but he started getting shot at by Agent Fowler so he flew away. Fowler: "Stealing plans for a classified military aircraft will NOT be tolerated on my watch." Skyquake then gets behind Agent Fowler and shoots several missiles at him. Fowler gets a warning on his radar of what the missiles really are. "Heat seekers." he says before going full speed to get away from them. He immediately gets an idea and starts flying towards a wall and pulls up fast enough to not crash, but close enough for the missiles to hit the wall instead of him. "I still got it."
Meanwhile, Starscream had arrived at the site of the destroyed space-bridge and landed on some debris before looking around. "No one could've survived this. [sigh] As I suspected: faulty sensors. The last thing I need now are rumors that Megatron is still-" before he could finish what he was saying, he hears the sound of groaning in pain, or like a gasp for air. Starscream looks over to where he heard the sound and floats over to see who he really didn't expect. "Megatron." he said putting his hands on his chest, only to be startled once he's grabbed by him. Megatron: "Die!" he says before losing consciousness again. Starscream: "But how?" he asks before noticing the object in Megatron's open chest. "Ah, dark energon." he says before getting in Megatron's face and saying, "Everyone believes you are deceased. Who am I to disappoint them...master." Starscream then yanks the dark energon out of Megatron's chest, which causes him to reach out for it for a moment before losing consciousness again. Starscream: "And this time, stay dead!" he said triumphantly before hearing the sound of Laserbeak heading his way, which causes him to be nervous and think of what to say while hiding the dark energon shard from him. "Soundwave, if you are listening, I have found Lord Megatron, and he is...unwell. We must transport him to sickbay immediately."
Back with the fight, Skyquake and Blitzwing are still shooting at the Autobots. Skyquake fires a missile at Optimus and barely misses, but it was close enough to lift him off the ground and transform back into his bipedal form. The two 'cons leave Optimus behind for a bit and continue chasing Bee and Elita. Elita notices a pathway up and gets an idea of how to win. "Bee, with me!" she yelled with Bee following immediately having the same idea. They both drive up the pathway then transform as they get to the top. The run to the edge where the 'cons were going then jumped on them, with Bee on Skyquake and Elita on Blitzwing. "GET OFF ME, AUTOBUM!" Blitzwing yelled as both he and Skyquake tried to shake them off, even trying to bash them against the wall 'til they both flew upward. Optimus watched this happen from below and already knew what they were planning. Optimus: "Agent Fowler, we require immediate assistance!"
Elita manages to be on Blitzwing enough to not struggle to stay on as much. She unsheathes her claws and digs them into Blitzwing's circuits, making him lose control and basically gliding to his death. Bumblebee did the same thing to Skyquake once he got control as well, only to realize that he and Elita had no way off to safety. As Bumblebee was taking care of Skyquake, however, Elita noticed another flying vehicle coming towards her. At first she thought was Soundwave, judging by the similar appearance, but she noticed a slight difference in appearance and obvious difference in color. "Nakala?" she asked herself quietly. Nakala, in his MQ1-Predator form, flew next to her and Blitzwing, and she already knew what he wanted her to do. She jumped off Blitzwing and onto Nakala, letting the 'con fall to his death. It was then that Bumblebee noticed Fowler beside him as well, offering the same help. Fowler: "Any time, fella. Ground floor's coming fast." he said before Bumblebee jumped off of Skyquake and onto Fowler's jet, letting the 'con continue his free fall to the scrapie. But Nakala had other plans for Skyquake. He let Elita off him on top of the canyon and flew towards Skyquake as fast he could. He knew the impact was going to kill him as he saw it did to Blitzwing, and he didn't want that for one reason only, even if his comrades might not approve of it. He flew under Skyquake just in time to carry him above to where his sire was, which just so happened to be near the impact zone.
Soundwave looked at his sparkling confused, wondering why he would save the enemy. Echowave said nothing as he looked down at Optimus, then across the gap where Bumblebee and Elita stood. Echowave: "Sire, leave. Get him help." he said through their sparkbond before jumping down to Optimus. Soundwave said nothing back to him as he opened a ground bridge and took Skyquake with him. Elita and Bumblebee make their way down as Echowave turns back into Nakala and walks over to where Blitzwing is. "Nakala..." Optimus spoke up getting his attention. "What are you doing here? And why did you save Skyquake?" Optimus wasn't mad at Nakala for saving Skyquake because he didn't want such honor to be wasted, but he was confused of why he did save him. A sound of a bald eagle was heard as they all see a cybertronian eagle land on his shoulder. Nakala: "Visiting sire. Showing creation, Wingblade. Skyquake just awoke from stasis. Shame to die immediately after that. Decepticons manipulated in joining - forced to join. For that reason...help me bury him." Nothing else was said as the 'bots just look at Nakala before helping him bury Blitzwing.
Next day at the base, Bumblebee is getting checked on by Ratchet in the medical tube. Optimus: "Bumblebee, Elita, putting yourselves at risk was perhaps not the wisest of strategies, but you both performed admirably." Bee: "[buzzing]" Elita: "[small chukle] Sorry for worrying hon, but I didn't know what else to do at that time. I'm just lucky Nakala happened to be around when it happened." Ratchet: "I still can't believe he went and saved the life of valuable asset to the Decepticons." Optimus: "Nakala had his reason, Ratchet. He has shown to have great honor." Honks are then heard as the four humans return to base with Bulkhead and Arcee. Wingblade is with them as well, who has a paint job of the actual bald eagle looks. As soon as Nakala climbs off Arcee, he activates his mass shifter and allows Wingblade on his shoulder. Raf: "I still can't believe you made your own cybertronian." Nakala: "She's just the start. I plan on having more. Can't leave her alone, now can we." he said stroking the her chin which she likes as she closes her eyes, earning a small chuckle from her creator again.
Back at the warship, Starscream and Soundwave are in the medical bay where Skyquake and Megatron are hooked up to life support. Starscream: "The troops will be pleased to hear of our success in rushing Lord Megatron into stasis. Let us hope our master pulls through." he says clearly not happy with it at all, but hides it from Soundwave.
TO BE CONTINUED...
