	==Synopsis==		==Synopsis==
			[[Zalilak]] kneels before Mistress [[Vill]], who berates him as a pretender to the throne of [[Zertonia]], not chosen by [[Zerta Trion\|Zerta]]. Zalilak admits that his decisions have brought Zertonia close to ruin and agrees to walk the [[Path of Light]].

			Meanwhile, in [[Agorria]], Minister [[Dulin]] tells [[Darak]] that unity with Zertonia will lead to the awakening of [[Goliant]], much to Darak’s confusion. His father apologizes for not telling Darak about the burden that is their legacy, as he worried he wasn't ready to learn the truth. However, his story is interrupted by the news of an alien vessel approaching Aggoria. Dulin tells Darak they will finish their conversation another time, but Darak insists on going with him, a request to which Dulin acquiesces.

			In deep space, aboard his [[Rockeroid]], [[Skuxxoid]] sits alone in his depression. However, he then snaps out of it, remembering he has a wife and kids to support. Elsewhere, [[Pythona]] and the [[Royal Guard]]s of [[Cobra-La]] have encountered interference tracking the non-[[energon]] signature thanks to a piece of debris caught in the eye of their [[Leviathan (Cobra-La)\|Leviathan]] bioship. Two of the Royal Guard, [[Bola]] and [[Grakula]], venture out to remove it. Bola is nervous about whether their "second skin" armor will protect them from deep space, but Grakula assures them it will be fine. Garkula locates the piece of debris: a small green crystal. As they pull it free, it radiates some kid of energy, knocking Grakula back and off the Leviathan. Thankfully, they are saved by Bola. Neither notice a number of small growths appearing where the crystal was.

			[[Solila]] and [[Handroid]] continue their journey into the depths of the [[Sacred Ring]]. Handroid informs Solila that he doesn't read anything ahead, but Solila feels the light of Zerta guiding her. When they come across three corridors, Solila uses the key Vill gave her to lead her to the right path.

			Back in Agorria, Dulin speculates that the object moving towards them could be some new Zertonian weapon, but Darak insists that such an attack is impossible given their current lack of resources. Dulin allows Darak to go out and investigate, with [[Elander]] giving Darak a new blue Handroid to replace his lost one. As he prepares to take off in his [[Jump Jet]], he orders his Handroid to revive him as soon as they cross the event horizon of the Sacred Ring’s black hole. As they do so, the Handroid confirms it is administering a reviver. But Darak remains unconscious...

			Darak finds himself in a void and believes himself to be once again experiencing a vision until he sees the astral figure of Solila floating above him. Though neither knows how or why they've become linked, they use the opportunity to catch up, with Solila asking if Darak was able to make contact with [[Kanela]]'s allies. Darak says no, but realizes no one asked him for it, meaning it was likely already found by the Agorrian [[Unifier]]s. Darak then informs Solila about Dulin and Zalilak knowing the true nature of their conflict, much to Solila’s shock, but both wake up before they can talk more. And just in time for Darak, as he is almost hit by [[Autobot frigate\|a Cybertronian shuttle]] piloted by [[Hot Rod (G1)\|Hot Rod]]! Believing Darak was trying to hit him, Hot Rod fires a series of warning shots at the Jump Jet, but Darak quickly sends out a message to make his peaceful intentions known. Hot Rod responds in kind, apologizing and introducing himself as being "Hot Rod from [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]]," the mention of which immediately gets Darak’s attention.

			Solila tells Handroid about her mental meeting with Darak, and while she doesn't understand how, she accepts it as something Zerta wanted. When the pair reach a dead end on their path, Handroid suggests using the key again, but the floor opens up beneath them before she can, dropping them into a pitch-dark space.

			Outside the Sacred Ring, the [[Quintesson]]s arrive. The [[Quintesson Judge (G1)\|Quintesson Judge]] is shocked to see that the Ring of Zerta is, in fact, real. The Quintessons will finally have their revenge!
