	A month has passed since the [[Decepticon]]s' last attack, and [[Jan Minakaze\|Jan]] and [[Holi]] are feeling restless, so they pay a visit to [[Braver]]'s lab. It turns out that Braver has been putting the downtime to good use, rebuilding, perfecting and mass-producing his Decepticon brainwave scanner. The five completed units are distributed amongst the [[Autobot]]s, and [[Star Saber (~~Victory~~)\|Star Saber]], [[Ginrai (robot)\|Victory Leo]] and the [[Multiforce]] begin using them to scour the planet for the silent Decepticons.

	At the bottom of the ocean, aboard the ''[[Thunder Arrow]]'', [[Leozack]] gets yet ''another'' chewing-out from [[Deathsaurus (~~Victory~~)\|Deathsaurus]], who is so entirely fed up with his failures that he refuses to listen to any more of his plans and just beats up Leozack instead. [[Hellbat (~~Victory~~)\|Hellbat]] chooses this moment to pop up and curry Deathsaurus's favour with a secret message. A little later, Hellbat happily dances off down the hallway... straight into Leozack's fist. Like Deathsaurus, he is at the end of his patience with his scheming subordinate, and Hellbat desperately dodges Leozack's attacks until he can sweet-talk his superior into going along with his plan. Hellbat has, to his credit, actually discovered the lost city of [[Atlantis]], and is encouraging Deathsaurus to use all of the Decepticons' stockpiled energy to raise it, so that they can ransack its energy stockpiles. Deathsaurus is hesitant to use up their entire energy reserve, but the prospect of finally reactivating his fortress convinces him to take the risk.

	The ''Thunder Arrow'' relocates to the site of Atlantis, off the coast of [[Portugal]], where the [[Dinoforce]] unload the Decepticons' collected energy and position it strategically around the seabed. Using his [[Living-Metal-Destroying Cannon]], Deathsaurus detonates the energy, causing a monumental explosion that tears the ocean floor apart, dislodging Atlantis and hurling it to the surface of the sea.

	In Atlantis, Deathsaurus announces that he is pulling out, and he withdraws inside the ''Thunder Arrow''. When [[Goryu (~~Victory~~)\|Goryu]] inquires what the Dinoforce are to do next, Deathsaurus says he will return for them shortly. The ''Thunder Arrow'' flies above Liokaiser and Victory Saber's battle, and Deathsaurus instructs Liokaiser to retreat. Liokaiser complies, just as a second tidal wave crashes down on Spain, and Victory Saber is swept up and battered by the surf. He is not the only victim; as Atlantis begins to descend back beneath the waves, the sea rushes over it, sweeping the abandoned Dinoforce away into the foam.
