'''With the ''Ark'' fast approaching Cybertron, Chromia and Perceptor must escape their captors to warn the Autobots of Megatron's trap.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Jetfire (Cyberverse)|Jetfire]] and [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]] return from their scouting mission to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]'s surface, reporting to [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus Prime]] that they have found no sign of Decepticon activity on the planet's surface. [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]] sees the recording of [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon City]], completely devastated and in ruin, and despairs that the city will never be home again. [[Cheetor (Cyberverse)|Cheetor]] reassures him that with the power of the [[AllSpark]], which has already performed miracles, they will restore Cybertron. Optimus has [[Teletraan-X (Cyberverse)|Teletraan-X]] broadcast a message to the entire ''[[Ark (Cyberverse)|Ark]]'' crew: their journey is at an end, they will use the AllSpark to revive their world, and nothing will stand in their way.

A little while later, Optimus and Windblade look over [[Chromia (Cyberverse)|Chromia]]'s last transmission, urging them—and Optimus in particular—to return to Cybertron. However, since then, Windblade has been unable to get in contact with her friend, which unsettles Optimus. At that very moment, Chromia is imprisoned in the bowels of Cybertron alongside [[Perceptor (Cyberverse)|Perceptor]], who scolds her for having sent the falsified message to Optimus, simply because the Decepticons threatened to kill him. Chromia tries to escape, with no luck until Perceptor uses his eyepieces to refract their prison's bars to break Chromia's bonds, albeit at the cost of his eyes exploding.

The two Autobots sneak past their Decepticon guards. Perceptor reveals that, while blind, he has other means of seeing, using his scanners to find a network of naturally occurring tunnels right in front of them. Perceptor's scanners note the tunnels manage to reach all the way down to the Well of the AllSpark. With that, Chromia figures out where they are. The two make their way to the surface of Iacon City, where Chromia finds [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]] has taken over the [[Threshold of the AllSpark]], turning it into his own private fortress. A pair of [[Seeker (Cyberverse)|Seeker]]s fly overhead, and the two Autobots duck down an alleyway. Chromia notes they need to contact Optimus, and asks if Perceptor can get them to a communications array. However, their path leads them right into a Decepticon patrol. Perceptor urges Chromia to leave him to face the Decepticons alone, but is subdued by the last Decepticon standing, who calls in the Seekers after Chromia. A chase through the streets of Iacon ensues, ending when Chromia tricks her pursuers into colliding with a building. Unbeknown to Chromia, she's being followed by [[Laserbeak (Cyberverse)|Laserbeak]]. On reaching her destination, Chromia is attacked by the bird-bot, who she lays out with one punch. Unfortunately, [[Soundwave (Cyberverse)|Soundwave]] is also there, and he effortlessly subdues her.

Back on the ''Ark'', Cheetor vows to the Allspark that whatever it takes, he will be ready. Bumblebee enters, and is unnerved by the sight, though Cheetor assures him everything's fine. On the bridge, [[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)|Hot Rod]] is overjoyed at the though of finally getting home and returning to the Lithium Flats for some racing. He asks his fellow crewmembers what they plan to do. [[Grimlock (Cyberverse)|Grimlock]] plans on throwing a soiree, to which everyone is invited. [[Arcee (Cyberverse)|Arcee]] plans to just kick back and relax, and [[Drift (Cyberverse)|Drift]] ominously tells Hot Rod that he has something ''special'' in mind, something a long time coming, and he will ''make sure'' Hot Rod is there. Hot Rod nervously chuckles off his shipmate's intense statement.

Back on Cybertron, as Soundwave drags Chromia through the streets, he receives a call from [[Shockwave (Cyberverse)|Shockwave]]: the ''Ark'' has entered Cybertron airspace. As Chromia watches, the Decepticons fire a strange energy web at the Autobot ship, which envelops it, then crushes it, causing the ship to explode in a massive fireball, right in front of Chromia's eyes!
