	Meanwhile, Dreadwing breaks free of the ice and after contemplating the slain Vehicons, heads out to find Prime. With the base clear, Optimus and Starscream venture inside to find the relic still frozen in a chunk of ice. They're interrupted by Dreadwing, who's disgusted by Starscream apparently allying with an Autobot. Starscream quickly jumps ship and claims he was leaving a trail for Dreadwing. While Optimus and Dreadwing fight, an unattended Starscream sets about liberating the relic from the ice, which turns out to be the [[Apex Armor (Thirteen)\|Apex Armor]]. Outside, Dreadwing has Optimus on the ropes and is about to strike when Starscream, now wearing the armor and ''much'' more powerful, crashes out of the building to challenge them.

	Both Dreadwing and Optimus attack the rogue Decepticon, but he swats them aside, repeatedly. Optimus suggests to Dreadwing that they will need to cooperate to defeat Starscream, and Dreadwing accepts the offer for both of their sakes. While Dreadwing flies around, Optimus slaps one of the Seeker's bombs onto Starscream, but the Apex Armor proves invulnerable even to that. Optimus realizes that Starscream still has a vulnerability—his lack of flight. While Optimus keeps Starscream's attention once more, Dreadwing plants explosives on the ground, and just as Starscream works out that the pair are up to something, the bombs detonate. Starscream disappears into a hole blasted in the ice. With no relic left to claim, Optimus once again pleads for Dreadwing to turn on Megatron and join him. Dreadwing refuses, and after sincerely thanking him for helping him survive the ordeal, promises to terminate him the next time they meet. With no relic to fight over, the two go their separate ways, and Optimus is left in the aurora borealis-bathed tundra to contemplate Dreadwing's final refusal of peace.

	The two then take a long walk through the Antarctic. Starscream tries to plead his case, mentioning how he helped Optimus return from his stint as Orion Pax and alerted the Autobots to [[Airachnid (Prime)\|Airachnid]]. Optimus notes his appreciation for Starscream's help, but makes it clear he knows it was all for Starscream's own self-interests. The two arrive at a human military base, and Optimus prevents Starscream from just waltzing in. Starscream is puzzled as to why they must be so careful around humans when retrieving the relic, but Optimus radios home and gets [[William Fowler\|Agent Fowler]] to evacuate the human base so he can safely retrieve the relic.
