Episode 1 – The Grave of the Light
Airdate: Saturday 23rd February 2013
Synopsis: A barren planet, grey and misty. Iguanus, Ambush and
Drain are scouting the planet, and Ambush contacts Medusa,
informing her that the planet is indeed the one. Aboard Ravager,
Medusa, flanked by Psychosis and Bloodtide and holding the
puzzle box, states that now is the time. Skysquawk and Rampage
pilot the ship down; all the while, Snaptrap – now heavily
rebuilt as Snapjaw – boasts to Flicksting, who remarks that she
wishes she had never rescued him on the Hollow Globe. The ship
lands down, and Medusa grimly tells her team to prepare
themselves for the worst. Elsewhere, the Epsilon-Zero heads
through space; Cross-Shot is staring out of a window when Tidal
Wave and Howlback approach her, his arm around her, which the
young archer obviously finds disconcerting. The three discuss
their recent losses, though Cross-Shot shrugs it off as part of
being a hero. Blizzard oversees Prophecy and Ironfist as they
fly the ship, with Emberscales Prime joining her. She insists
that he return to Cybertron and run the planet, but he remarks
that he wants to keep an eye on her while she mourns Rapticon’s
death. The fembot insists that she can manage on her own, even
as Ironfist declares that they have finally detected Ravager… on
the planet Cemeterias. Blizzard immediately orders that they
follow, leaving Emberscales Prime somewhat concerned. In another
room, Waspinator and Dinobot are deep in conversation, with
Arcrise and Wiretrap sat nearby. Wiretrap attempts to flirt with
Arcrise, but the ultra-powerful Maximal misses the point.
Cross-Shot enters the room, and Waspinator observes that she is
bothered by something, but the younger bot shrugs him off.
Dinobot simply watches.
On Cemeterias, the Predacons trek through the mist, with
Skysquawk and Ambush whispering to one another and Snapjaw
continually making self-obsessed remarks; unimpressed, Medusa
orders her team to stay alert. There is a reason, after all,
that the location they are in is known as the Grave of the
Light. Before long, they reach the entrance to a cave. Rampage
attempts to enter, but is deflected by an energy field. Keeping
the same cold expression, Medusa places the solved puzzle box at
the top of the cave entrance, and enters without issue. As her
team follows, Skysquawk asks if the puzzle box was nothing but a
simple key. Medusa explains that its true power was the
information it imparted to her. As they head deeper into the
cave, they find the walls covered in art of Cybertronians
fighting against a humanoid alien species. The Epsilon-Zero
lands down not too far away; Emberscales Prime warns the
gathered Maximals that the planet is connected to a conflict
from long in Cybertron’s past, and there may be traps – or
worse. The team heads out onto the surface, with Prophecy noting
that she has ‘a bad feeling about this’. Using a new device that
he has created (which, naturally, doubles as a weapon), Ironfist
detects the puzzle box not too far away, and Blizzard orders the
team to head in its direction. Dinobot draws his sword, and
Cross-Shot prepares her bow; soon, the entire team have their
weapons drawn, although Wiretrap remarks that he has no idea
why. The Predacons reach a large cavern, and Medusa orders
Psychosis to accompany her while the rest stay in the cavern;
the Maximals, after all, are likely on the planet too.
Indeed, on the surface, the Maximals have reached the cave
entrance. Ironfist analyses the puzzle box, noting it is of
unknown origin; Prophecy remarks that the origin is indeed known
– Valoranian. She continues on her way merrily, as the rest of
the team (barring Emberscales Prime) are left utterly confused.
Even as they head into the cave, Medusa and Psychosis trek deep
beneath it. Psychosis remarks that Medusa has been more cold
than usual since they left the Hollow Globe; the leader notes
that she is starting to wonder if her plan is the right course
of action to take. Both Howlback and Psychosis enquire about the
art on the walls, and their respective leaders start to tell the
same story – how, long before civil war erupted between the
Autobots and Decepticons, Cybertron went to war with a species
known as the Valoranians, who can alter their physical forms in
a fluid manner and assimilate members of other species to adopt
their traits. Medusa’s story continues after Emberscales’ ends:
one particularly notable Valoranian war-criminal was imprisoned
by the Cybertronians on Cemeterias, a planet which can only be
found by means such as the Hollow Globe. The Maximals reach the
cavern where the Predacons are waiting, and the villains
immediately attack. Only Wiretrap manages to sneak past, rushing
down the pathway that Medusa and Psychosis took. As the two
villains reach a metallic sphere, Medusa speaks the phrase
‘night shall die, death shall rise’ – as Wiretrap sneaks up
behind them, the sphere opens, unveiling further methods of
restraint… all in ruins. Stood amidst them is the Valoranian,
smirking; he remarks that he was only a few decades away from
breaking the sphere open himself. Medusa introduces Psychosis…
to Necrocide.

Episode 1- Very interesting first episode! Nice to see this new
Predacon crew, made out of the survivors of Bloodtide's team and
the Ravager. Yay Snaptrap is back, and also has a new name!
Also, I am now shipping Flicksting-Snapjaw! She's totally
tsundere for him! :P Ha Cross-Shot, in denial as always. Poor
Blizzard, and lol "his arm around her" yay for Howlback-Tidal
Wave. Cemeterias, I have a feeling this planet is very
meaningfully named. Medusa's usually rather playful and sinister
rather than cold, so I'm concerned that she's concerned.
Interesting tidbit about the Valoranians, looking forward to
hearing more of them. Oh snap Necrocide. I have a feeling
there'll be lots of death this season!

I wouldn't call it a new crew, just the remains of the season 2
crew, which was the season 1 crew plus the Chaos-Blade Preds. :P
Snapjaw is now a hyena bot (only animal I've not used
before/that fits him with a stronger bite-force than a snapping
turtle). Flicksting just genuinely hates him. XD Cross-Shot is
like that, yus for Blizzard, and glad you like TW/HB. :P
Cemeterias is where the GRAVE of the Light is... think about it.
:3 Medusa is still shaken by the puzzle box contents... which
have given her info on Necrocide. He's gonna be CRAZY epic. ;)
In the season 1 thread, when Killipede appeared, I said there'd
be more punny-names, one you'd be hearing lots of. That's
Necrocide. :P
Eps 2 and 3 will be coming shortly, and ep 4 soon after. Ep 5
should be back on schedule. :3

Episode 2 – Victory
Airdate: Saturday 2nd March 2013 (written on Thursday 21st March
2013)
Synopsis: Medusa bows before Necrocide, informing him that she
followed the instructions and has brought an elite team for him.
The Valoranian notes that he requires an army, but Medusa
remarks that the army she had built up has been decimated, but
the remaining troops have therefore proved their worth. She goes
to continue, only to realise that Necrocide is distracted – he
is staring at Wiretrap, a twisted smirk on his face. Disturbed,
the Maximal simply asks who Necrocide is; the alien explains
that he was a war criminal of the highest calibre during the
Cybertron-Valoran conflict. As the villain walks off, past
Wiretrap, Psychosis notes to Medusa that he is not sure whether
he sees Necrocide as kin or something to fear. The conflict
between the Maximals and Predacons in the cavern is intense,
with Emberscales Prime and Skysquawk in an especially brutal
brawl. As the combat continues, Necrocide casually walks amongst
it; the bots slowly realise, and halt their fighting, confused.
Necrocide stops, and transforms into a monster of
Lovecraftian-levels of terror, introducing himself as the
bringer of their nightmares. Prophecy quips that her bad feeling
is back, as the Maximals start to fight against the new enemy.
The Predacons are unsure on whether or not to join in, but just
as Skysquawk is about to lead them into attack, Medusa appears
with Psychosis, telling her faction to halt. As the Maximals pit
themselves against Necrocide, Medusa explains that Necrocide is
who they came to Cemeterias to find – he is their new leader.
The Predacons are shocked, but Psychosis notes that none of them
are actually opposed to the idea.
All the while, Wiretrap is snooping around inside Necrocide’s
prison chamber. He is amazed by the amount of restraint
mechanisms – cuffs, stasis holds, a lithium moat, and more. All
of them have been destroyed or breached. While investigating,
Wiretrap accidentally sets off a recording, a Cybertronian guard
warning that if Necrocide has escaped, the consequences will be
dire. The Maximal remarks that the message does not help, and
continues searching. The battle against Necrocide erupts onto
the planet’s surface as the Valoranian bursts through the
cavern. Even with ten Maximals fighting him, the battle is
tough, and Necrocide gleefully uses every trick in the book to
attack his enemies. The Predacons watch on, with Iguanus
suggesting that they try to rein Necrocide in. Medusa snorts at
this, stating that she will let him have his fun. Blizzard
suggests they retreat, but Emberscales Prime insists that they
should take out Necrocide as swiftly as possible. He orders
Arcrise to access her full power, but the powerful fembot is
cautious, still not fully willing to risk losing control. As
Wiretrap continues investigating Necrocide’s prison, he
accidentally switches the lighting off. A black light kicks in,
revealing a number of scrawlings. Most of them are insane
ramblings, but one is a star map. Wiretrap memorises it, before
heading off towards the cavern.
Emberscales pleads with Arcrise to tap into her full power, and
although she continues to refuse, Waspinator confronts her,
promising her it will be OK. Conceding, Arcrise attempts to
de-atomise Necrocide, but Prophecy pounces at her, noting that
they have to play by the rules. Blizzard snaps at Prophecy, but
the crazed fembot simply purrs that everything will be fine in
the end. Emberscales attempts to slice through Necrocide, but he
simply reforms, cackling madly all the while. Wiretrap clambers
up to the surface, and tells the Maximals that they should
retreat. The others agree, and Emberscales reluctantly agrees,
ordering the team to head back to the Epsilon-Zero. They head
off, Prophecy skipping along, as Necrocide transforms to his
humanoid form. He asks Medusa where her ship is, as he has a
plan of action. Iguanus picks up the puzzle box from the rubble
as the Predacons start their trek towards Ravager. As the
Maximals board their ship, Blizzard turns on Prophecy, demanding
to know what she was thinking. Prophecy coolly remarks that she
does not know what Blizzard means, before heading off to her
room, stating that she has little time. Cross-Shot remarks that
she seems to have suddenly adopted a sense of sanity, while
Wiretrap draws up the star map from the prison. Ironfist starts
to locate the real systems, as Emberscales notes that, for now,
they must return to Cybertron and prepare for future encounters
with Necrocide… which they will most assuredly have.

Episode 3 – Maps
Airdate: Saturday 9th March 2013 (Thursday 21st March 2013)
Synopsis: Ravager heads through space – on board, Necrocide has
constructed a throne within the bridge. Medusa is explaining the
basics of her crew, but the Valoranian shows little interest,
instead wishing to see them in action to get a sense of their
identities. He orders that the ship land down on the next planet
they pass, and wreak havoc. All the while, the Epsilon-Zero
lands down on Cybertron; as Emberscales Prime, Ironfist,
Cross-Shot and Wiretrap head out, they are surprised to see
Feral stood nearby. He informs them that he and his allies –
including Uproar, Cynder, Razorbeak and Abydos – can assist the
Maximals, but only to a degree. Emberscales coldly remarks that
they need all the help they can get, before heading off towards
the Elite Guard headquarters, the other three Maximals
following. On the ship, Blizzard is reading over old mission
logs, when Prophecy enters. She apologises for whatever she did
wrong, explaining that typically, she sees so much that she
merely acts on impulse to keep things happening as they should.
Blizzard is confused, until Prophecy suddenly appears to be her
usual crazy self. She rushes off, yelling that she “forgot her
birthday”, leaving Blizzard somewhat confused. Dinobot is in a
CR chamber when Waspinator enters the room; he asks Dinobot if
he believes that they have any hope of defeating Necrocide. The
saurian warrior states that what they need is not hope, but
inner strength and resolve. Ravager lands down in a rural area
of a planet, and Skysquawk and Bloodtide lead the Predacons out.
The aliens nearby are startled, but remain intrigued by the
arrivals, until Rampage starts the attack, slaughtering two of
the aliens. The Predacons start their attack, as Necrocide and
Medusa watch from the bridge. The serpentine fembot notes that
the Predacons are not equally matched, and so some will have an
unfair advantage over others, but Necrocide states that this
makes everything more fun.
Tidal Wave and Howlback head outside, and are met by Feral, who
asks them to listen to him. The two do so, and he explains that
he can help them decipher the star map. Howlback notes that
Ironfist has been working on deciphering it, and while he has
had little luck so far, he may gain information in the Elite
Guard headquarters. Feral asks for the map anyway, promising
that he will be able to have it deciphered in no time. Tidal
Wave heads into the ship to retrieve a copy, while Howlback asks
Feral where he has been. He skirts around the question, stating
that it is as far as can be from the conflict that the Maximals
are dealing with. As Emberscales Prime holds a meeting in the
Elite Guard headquarters, Ironfist and Wiretrap continue to
investigate the star map. Cross-Shot visits her old quarters,
and reminisces over her fallen team-mates; finding an old bow of
hers, she swears to keep fighting no matter what. All the while,
the Predacons continue their slaughter of the alien species;
Skysquawk and Bloodtide are in competition, trying to out-do one
another, while Psychosis and Rampage prefer to torment their
victims. Snapjaw, Flicksting, Ambush and Drain all display their
own tactics as well, but Iguanus is nowhere to be seen. Medusa
comments that this is unsurprising, and explains to Necrocide
the source of Iguanus’ loyalty to the Predacons and the recent
loss of Spinister. The Valoranian is amused by this information,
and remarks that Iguanus can be moulded into a powerful warrior
by his negative emotions. Snapjaw and Flicksting start to argue,
which Necrocide finds amusing.
Tidal Wave heads back out of the Epsilon-Zero, bumping into
Arcrise as he does. She apologises, and asks if he knows where
Waspinator is. He suggests she check the ship’s systems, before
heading outside. Arcrise notices Feral staring at her knowingly
from outside. With the map in-hand, Feral tells his former
team-mates that he will get the annotated map to them as soon as
possible, before Transwarping away. The two are about to
continue into the Elite Guard headquarters when they see
Cross-Shot leaving. She tells them that their old team-mates’
quarters have already been emptied, and that they should head
back into the ship and wait for new orders. The two agree,
following their younger ally inside. Ironfist and Wiretrap are
coming no closer to deciphering the star map, until suddenly,
Nightscream and Firecloud Transwarp in. They hand over the
annotated map, remarking that the subjectivity of time makes
things quicker, before leaving again. The two bots are heavily
confused, but head off with the map. On the way out, they meet
with Emberscales Prime, who explains that his council will
continue to govern the planet while he leads the team on a
mission to defeat Necrocide. The two in turn inform their leader
that they now know where the map leads. They head off to the
ship, ready to intercept and eliminate Necrocide. On the alien
planet, the entire town population has been exterminated… or so
it seems, because Iguanus has managed to evacuate a few
families. Snapjaw and Flicksting are aware of this, and confront
him; he begs them to keep it secret, and they agree, although
they wish for him to do them a favour. Necrocide is thoroughly
pleased with the Predacons’ work, and calls them back to the
ship, completely ignoring a cold and rejected Medusa.

Episode 2-Necrocide seems like a total badass, and the way he
just looked at Wiretrap and didn't care in the slightest was
pretty chilling. Ha, Skysquawk, I would want to attack that
thing too. The Maximals, all ten of them, barely holding their
own against Necrocide is a real indication of the dude's
super-omega power levels. Damn it Prophecy why must you prevent
Arcrise from incinerating the main bad guy?! Star map huh, I bet
there are some interesting places on that. With the Predacons
led by this guy, the future's certainly gonna be interesting...
and dangerous.
Episode 3-Lol at Necrocide asserting his alpha dominance by
building himself a throne, and basically snubbing Medusa. And
cool, return of Feral, glad to see that we might seem and the
former members of Team Death more soon. Prophecy's apology seems
heartfelt, and also quite interesting in its implications. Ha
Dinobot and resolve, that is so him. Aww poor Cross-Shot, you've
lost so much, haven't you? I am loving the Predacon scenes of
slaughtering the aliens, it really shows off their personalities
and such. I still support Snapjaw-Flicksting so hard; Flicksting
is totally tsundere for him I just know it. More intrigue with
Iguanus, as per usual. Firecloud and Nightscream wat. Also,
you're a pretty nice guy Iganus. Lol, poor snubbed Medusa.
Looking forward to the next one.

2 - What I've not quite gotten across just yet is how utterly
broken Necrocide is. He's got this child-like wonder mixed with
a total blood-thirsty insanity. He's not this super-suave
Machiavellian villain, he's just completely broken. Prophecy,
well, if Necrocide died now, think of all the things that
wouldn't happen. :P The things you don't know about yet, I mean.
Map, yeah, this is another season of 'follow the Predacons'.
^_^;
3 - Snubbing Medusa... haha, you just watch. ;) Feral and the
rest of Gigatron's team will be slightly more involved this
season, yeah. Ha, just realised how good Feral is as a character
considering upcoming plots. XD Prophecy, yeah, she hasn't had a
moment of clarity in ages. Oh, and she forgot Hina's birthday.
:P Did wanna have her wishing a random someone happy birthday in
ep 2, but there wasn't room. Dinobot, yup; Cross-Shot,
absolutely, keep following cos her story is just epic if I do
say so myself. Predacons, absolutely the intention, and
pahahaha, dunno about that. XD Iguanus is a nice guy, yup. :3
And Nightscream and Firecloud... cos. :P Episode 4 is the next
one I have to write, may do so tomorrow (CBA tonight XD).

Episode 4 – Gathering Support
Airdate: Saturday 16th March 2013 (written on Monday 25th March
2013)
Synopsis: Aboard Ravager, Medusa is in her quarters, reading
about the Cybertron-Valoran War. The information explains that
Necrocide was a soldier whose psychological profiling indicated
an unstable mind, but he was allowed into the army anyway. He
swiftly rose through the ranks until he became a feared general.
Medusa concludes to herself that he is a psychotic, power-hungry
being, and wonders if she was right to have released him.
Someone knocks on her door; she tells them to enter, and is
surprised to see Iguanus. She tells him that Psychosis has been
spending more and more time with Necrocide instead of her – he
gravitates towards the most powerful being, after all. Iguanus
reports that they are drawing close to the first planet on the
map – Nemakoon, a planet covered in rocky terrain, streams and
plant-life. The fembot asks Iguanus to inform her when they
land, and excuses him. After a moment of silence, he asks her if
she is truly comfortable with Necrocide around. She excuses him
again, and he leaves. The Maximals are discussing the next plan
of action – Blizzard believes that the team should split in two,
with one remaining on Cybertron and gathering an army
specially-prepared to deal with Necrocide. Some of the others
are unsure, but Waspinator, Tidal Wave and Dinobot all concur,
as do Cross-Shot and Ironfist. The latter two offer to be on the
team that continues to track Necrocide, but Emberscales Prime
remains unconvinced. Prophecy takes him aside, and tells him
that he should have faith in his team. She kisses his forehead,
then leads him back to the others; Emberscales concedes,
additionally picking Prophecy, Arcrise and Wiretrap for his
team, but Prophecy instead puts herself forward for Blizzard’s
team, instead suggesting Howlback for the advance team.
Emberscales and his team head into the Epsilon-Zero and fly off,
following the map, while Blizzard leads her team back into the
Elite Guard headquarters.
Snapjaw, Flicksting, Rampage, Skysquawk, Ambush and Drain are
training when Necrocide enters, followed by Psychosis. He
informs the group that they will soon be landing down on
Nemakoon, suggesting that they prepare… although he does not
state what for. He and Psychosis leave again, as the other
Predacons discuss what their new leader’s plan may be. The
Epsilon-Zero heads towards Nemakoon; as Emberscales Prime and
Ironfist pilot, the younger bots converse in Howlback’s
quarters. Howlback is being questioned about the ins-and-outs of
her relationship with Tidal Wave, which she finds somewhat
awkward. Cross-Shot insists that she is not that interested, but
is asking out of social tradition, but Wiretrap points out that
the archer is lonely. Arcrise, however, seems distracted; when
Howlback asks if she is OK, the mysterious bot notes that she
may have feelings for Waspinator. Howlback and Wiretrap are
supportive of this, while Cross-Shot coolly suggests that
Arcrise act upon her feelings. Back on Cybertron, Tidal Wave is
in combat-training against Prophecy – in spite of his skill with
his blades, the nimble fembot avoids or blocks all of his
attacks, striking him with her own energy attacks with ease. As
they take a break, Prophecy explains that the trick in battle is
to not go full-force at an enemy, but to feel the flow of the
fight and act accordingly. Donning a blindfold, she tells him to
start again.
Elsewhere, Blizzard, Waspinator and Dinobot are outlining the
mission to a large hall of recruits (and evidently, these are
the second set of recruits). As the many bots leave to prepare,
the trio discuss whether or not it is a good idea for half of
their team to head off in advance if Necrocide alone is so
dangerous. Aboard Ravager, Snapjaw and Flicksting are
quarrelling as usual when Medusa approaches them. She explains
to the two that she needs their support – if she ever has to go
against Necrocide, she wants them to back her up. The two
reluctantly agree, and put Iguanus forth as well. Medusa is
unsure, as while he does owe her a life-debt, it may not be
enough of a reason for him to stand against Necrocide. Snapjaw
assures her that Iguanus has extra incentive to do as he and
Flicksting say. All the while, Necrocide and Psychosis approach
Bloodtide, with the Valoranian informing him that they are soon
to land on Nemakoon. The vicious Predacon is obviously not happy
with Necrocide as a leader, and there is tension between the two
powerful villains. The ship lands, and Necrocide informs
Bloodtide that he will be leading an excursion, in search of a
dimensional gate. The Predacons must open it, to allow access to
the next planet. He and Psychosis head off, as Bloodtide sneers.
Iguanus is hiding around the corner, having overheard the
conversation, and leaves for his quarters.

Episode 5 – Dimensional Gates
Airdate: Saturday 23rd March 2013 (written on Tuesday 26th March
2013)
Synopsis: On Nemakoon, Bloodtide leads the Predacons (bar
Necrocide, Medusa and Psychosis) through valleys. Rampage is
attempting to terrorise Ambush, albeit with little effect, while
Snapjaw and Flicksting throw insults at one another as ever. The
group soon reaches the dimensional gate – a small, silver
contraption, which, when activated by Bloodtide, opens up and
unfolds into a large oval filled with energy. The energy pulses
out, and Necrocide contacts them, informing them that they can
return to the ship. As they start to head back, the Epsilon-Zero
speeds past overhead. Skysquawk transforms and flies up to
attack, against Bloodtide’s orders; the Predacon simply orders
the rest of the team to open fire, and they do so, striking and
pitting the ship’s hull but not bringing it down. Emberscales
Prime leaps out of the ship as it moves, transforming into
dragon mode and swooping at Skysquawk. Even as the Epsilon-Zero
fires back at the Predacons, Ravager draws close, Transwarping
the Predacons on board one-by-one. Skysquawk is the last to
return to the Predacon ship – he snarls at Necrocide, angered
about the interruption, but the Valoranian gleefully states that
they can move onto the next planet now, and must not waste time.
The ship blasts off into space, as Emberscales boards the
Epsilon-Zero. The other Maximals greet him, and he orders them
to follow the Predacons. All the while, Prophecy and Tidal Wave
are on another break from training, both exhausted. Tidal Wave
asks Prophecy what her relationship with Emberscales Prime is,
and she admits that, at present, she is not sure – “The universe
has made things kinda tricky”. Waspinator enters, informing them
to prepare, as they will be leaving in ten minutes.
An army of Maximals have been gathered in the Elite Guard
headquarters’ courtyard. As Prophecy and Tidal Wave appear,
Blizzard instructs the army that they will head off to a ship
hangar to take their ships. She and her team lead the army off;
Dinobot remarks to Waspinator that they may be leading all of
these soldiers to their death. Ravager continues through space;
on board, Psychosis continues training Rampage as Necrocide
watches on. Bloodtide approaches the Valoranian, and asks why
they need dimensional gates to access each planet. The leader
explains that it is not about accessing the planets, but about
establishing the connections across the route to their
destination, each gate granting access to the next one. Medusa,
stood nearby, adds that their end goal assumedly exists only in
a specific dimension – this route is the type of pathway shown
by the Hollow Globe. Iguanus is, again, eavesdropping; Snapjaw
interrupts, informing the explosives expert that his debt will
be paid by being one of Medusa’s loyalists if Necrocide turns on
her. As Iguanus watches Necrocide once again disregard the
former leader, he remarks that it may come sooner than anyone
would hope. Emberscales Prime is patching himself up aboard the
Epsilon-Zero, as Ironfist and Cross-Shot pilot. The mechanic
asks his younger team-mate if she would be interested in any of
his new arrow types, which include one that splits into myriad
tiny arrows when fired. Impressed, Cross-Shot says that she will
have to check them out later. Howlback, Arcrise and Wiretrap
prepare for another Predacon attack, with Wiretrap questioning
Arcrise on her feelings for Waspinator (which she finds rather
awkward).
The planet Polix, a city planet brimming with life; Ravager
enters its air-space, and the local authorities contact them for
clearance. Necrocide responds that clearance will not be needed,
and tracks the source of the communication before firing upon
it. Drain manages to locate the dimensional gate, positioned in
the top floor of Polix’s imperial tower – the ship lands down
within the tower, and Necrocide orders the entire team out,
except for Psychosis, who he wishes to talk to. As soon as the
Predacons exit their ship, they find themselves confronted by
police officers… who they immediately start to fight through
(under the command of Bloodtide and Skysquawk, and not Medusa).
The Epsilon-Zero enters Polix’s air-space, and Ironfist is
surprised to not be contacted by the authorities… withdrawing
his comment when he notices the smoking crater in the city. The
ship’s systems give an alert noise, which Howlback notes is the
same as when they entered the atmosphere of Nemakoon – the
Predacons are after the source of the alert. Emberscales Prime
contacts Blizzard, informing her that they will be on Polix
until further notice. Blizzard passes on the message to the rest
of the army – a fleet of fifty ships, of various sizes. The
Epsilon-Zero lands down outside the imperial tower, and
Emberscales Prime leads his team into the building. Within
Ravager, Necrocide informs Psychosis that he is impressed by the
Predacon’s psionic abilities, and would like to develop them
too. Psychosis starts to respond, but Necrocide remarks that he
has no patience to learn… and dozens of oily black tendrils
burst from his body, ensnaring Psychosis and absorbing him into
the Valoranian’s body. Necrocide chuckles as he heads out of the
ship.
