''Centuries ago, [[Turmoil]] and [[Drift (G1)\|Deadlock]] crash on an alien world. As Turmoil frets over their damaged ship, Deadlock steps outside and discovers a huge stone fortress tended by robed figures, and hopes it will contain a means of escaping the world.''

	In the present day, on that same world, [[Drift (G1)\|Drift]], [[Ratchet (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Ratchet]], and [[~~Grit (G1)\|~~Grit]] are presented to local [[Decepticon]] leader [[Megatron (RID)\|Gigatron]], who rejects their claims that the war is over, and explains that he requires Drift to help him find an "ancient stone army" that Drift discovered on the planet when he was there in the past. Drift refuses, but acquiesces when Gigatron threatens Ratchet. Satisfied, Gigatron orders them released, but his slimy lieutenant [[Hellbat (G1)\|Hellbat]] disagrees, advocating caution. He particularly calls into question releasing the "traitor" [[Grit ~~(G1)\|Grit]]~~, who loudly objects to having his loyalties questioned; when Hellbat then accuses him of not being ''worthy'' of being a Decepticon if he has allowed himself to be captured by the Autobots, Grit snaps and headbutts him. A fight breaks out in the middle of the throne room, but Drift, Ratchet, and Grit quickly overpower their opponents and make a break for it, only to be stopped when a furious Gigatron collapses several of the room's stone columns into their paths. Hellbat stops his enraged leader from killing the three escapees, and they are taken to a cell.

Hellbat stops his enraged leader from killing the three escapees, and they are taken to a cell.

	Imprisoned, the trio grouse and grumble about their handling of the situation, until Ratchet has Drift tell him about the stone army—an vast, enigmatic collection of living stone beings, slumbering somewhere within the fortress. Hearing a guard approaching, Ratchet has Drift lie on the ground and pretend to be dead, while he "blames" Grit for killing him, hoping to trick the guard into opening the cell... but the guard, [[Knockout (G1)\|Knockout]], sees through the ruse immediately. He then opens the cell anyway, as he turns out to be an old friend of Grit's who has come to free them. Handing the group back their weapons, Knockout explains that Gigatron's group is capturing and killing both Autobots ''and'' Decepticons, and he was already planning to desert, finally pushed into action after seeing their treatment of his friend. Grit gives Knockout a gun and tells him to get off the planet, while he leaves with Ratchet and Drift, intent on killing Hellbat for his insults. Drift tries to talk him out of it, but Grit is having none of it, sure in himself and his path in life, and telling Drift not to project his own issues onto him.
