Cheetor takes off for parts unknown, leaving an open [[GroundBridge]] behind. Seeing the new opportunity offered to him, Starscream cackles...''

	Aboard the ''[[Ark (Cyberverse)\|Ark]]'' Cheetor explains that he was once one with the [[AllSpark]], but was brought to [[Earth]] and given his bestial form to act as the AllSpark's guardian. For many years, Cheetor traveled through the GroundBridges with the ~~AllSpark~~ before one day encountering [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)\|Bumblebee]] and [[Windblade (Cyberverse)\|Windblade]] in the desert. Since then, he has continued to observe the [[Autobot]]s and [[Decepticon]]s, hoping they would achieve peace so he could bring them to the AllSpark. The Autobots speculate that with the Decepticons now in possession of both the ~~AllSpark~~ and [[Vector Sigma]], Megatron could reprogram the AllSpark to create an army of beings of his own design. Knowing the risk this poses, [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)\|Optimus Prime]] decides that they must take the fight to Decepticons. On the ''Nemesis'', Megatron fumes over Starscream's theft of the ~~AllSpark~~ and Vector Sigma, and declares he must be stopped.

	In the abandoned missile silo, a fanatical Starscream gloats over his new prize and boasts to the other [[Seeker (Cyberverse)\|seekers]]. Thinking he had been terminated by Megatron, Starscream believes his [[spark]] traveled to the ~~AllSpark~~ and returned, and that he is destined to bring about an era of peace and return their race to the ~~AllSpark~~ by terminating all other [[Transformer]]s. [[Slipstream (Cyberverse)\|Slipstream]] attempts to convince the others of Starscream's madness, but the others have completely bought into Starscream's claims. To demonstrate his power, Starscream uses the ~~AllSpark~~ to bond a nearby excavator to himself as his new [[spark armor]].

	[[Shockwave (Cyberverse)\|Shockwave's]] attempts to locate the ~~AllSpark~~ prove ineffective, so he instead decides to search for Vector Sigma's unique frequency. Before he can begin, the proximity alarm blares: Optimus and an army of Autobots have arrived to storm the ''Nemesis'' and retake the ~~AllSpark~~. With Shockwave needing more time to find Vector Sigma, Megatron orders his troops to attack. While the others keep the Decepticons busy, Cheetor, [[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)\|Hot Rod]] and Bumblebee infiltrate the ship in search of the Allspark. Cheetor cannot sense its presence and believes the ~~AllSpark~~ may have abandoned him for his failure, but the others reassure him. After a brief scuffle with [[Clobber (Cyberverse)\|Clobber]] and [[Lockdown (Cyberverse)\|Lockdown]], Cheetor comes to a realization and demands to speak with Optimus and Megatron immediately. Back at the silo, [[Acid Storm (Cyberverse)\|Acid Storm]] continues to program Vector Sigma, but their attempts are not working, and Starscream begins to grow impatient. While the two argue, Slipstream attempts to grab the ~~AllSpark~~, but Starscream notices her and knocks her aside. Helping her to her feet, Starscream teases that she has no idea what he can really do with the Allspark...

	In the ''Nemesis''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s hangar, the battle rages on, with Optimus and Megatron locked in combat. The fighting is suddenly interrupted by a powerful roar from Cheetor, who reveals that the ~~AllSpark~~ is not on the ship at all, making the fight pointless. Megatron begrudgingly reveals that Starscream stole the ~~AllSpark~~ for himself, and Cheetor admits that Starscream likely escaped death by following him through the GroundBridge. Megatron curses Cheetor, claiming he has no idea what he's done. Meanwhile, in the silo, Acid Storm finally finishes the reprogramming. Starscream declares this the beginning of a new era and activates Vector Sigma, watching as its energies intersect with that of the ~~AllSpark~~. As the new program takes hold, The ~~AllSpark~~ creates the first of his new army: a [[Scraplet\|small, aggressive insectoid]] creature. Starscream laughs maniacally as he is surrounded by more and more of his new "children", much to Slipstream's horror...
