Chromia advocates simply killing their pursuers, but in deference to Windblade, she simply disables them by clipping their wings with her bladed weapons. As Metroplex begins to convulse all around them, the pair take refuge in Metroplex's brain chamber—but even a barred door proves no obstacle to Starscream himself, who has dealt with [[Blurr (G1)~~/2005 IDW continuity~~\|Blurr]] and [[Slag (G1)\|Slug]] and has arrived to put an end to Windblade. Chromia engages Starscream in battle; as Windblade fails to convince them to stop fighting, she is instead faced with a daunting task: to risk her own life by mentally merging with Metroplex in order to gain full control over his stricken systems.

	Chromia holds her own in the fight, but Starscream takes the upper hand when he hurls his sword at the distracted Windblade, tearing a gash in her shoulder. As Chromia instinctively turns to aid her friend, Starscream cuts off her arm with his second blade. Standing victorious over the two fallen females, Starscream gloats that they could never have beaten him because he was chosen by the [[Metrotitan (~~Zone~~)\|Titan]] under [[Crystal City]]. Windblade, with the last of her strength, plugs an interface cable into her head—directly linking herself to Metroplex. The chamber comes alive at Windblade's command, blasting Starscream back and restraining him against the wall. With the mental link, Windblade probes all of Metroplex's systems, realizing that the blackouts have been orchestrated to divert power to the Titan's [[space bridge]]. Through the bridge, she is offered glimpses of many of the other worlds across the galaxy that were colonized by [[Titan (group)\|Titans]], but finds that she cannot sense the beacon of [[Caminus (Titan)\|Caminus]]. Perceptions being to swim and blur as Windblade and Metroplex become further and further intertwined, and the truth is revealed to the [[cityspeaker]]: the one who was responsible for the blackouts was Chromia!

Perceptions being to swim and blur as Windblade and Metroplex become further and further intertwined, and the truth is revealed to the [[cityspeaker]]: the one who was responsible for the blackouts was Chromia!

	Chromia tries to reason with Windblade, explaining that her plot was all for a single reason—to try and get Windblade home. Chromia refuses see her friend killed for Cybertronians, and insists that Windblade would never return to Caminus alive unless she was forced to do so. Chromia continues to attempt to coax Windblade/Metroplex into activating the bridge. Starscream screams in protest, noting with distress that, as Metroplex is now integrated with [[Iacon (polity)\|Iacon]], using the spacebridge would kill everyone not completely inside the Titan. Windblade/Metroplex's linked mind drifts through space and time, as the cityspeaker loses her grip on reality and starts to feel isolated and alone... but as that thought seizes her mind, a vision of Metroplex offers her his hand with the assurance that she is ''never'' alone. United in purpose, Windblade and Metroplex deactivate the spacebridge. Disconnecting herself from the Titan, Windblade holds a hand up to silence Chromia, and strides past her friend and gives Starscream an offer he cannot refuse: if she frees him, he will keep everything that has occurred a secret, and in return, once Metroplex is well enough, she will allow Starscream unlimited access to the Titan's spacebridge. This will allow the leader of Cybertron to find and unite ''all'' of Cybertron's colony worlds, making the "Chosen One" the true savior of the entire Cybertronian race.

	Chromia holds her own in the fight, but Starscream takes the upper hand when he hurls his sword at the distracted Windblade, tearing a gash in her shoulder. As Chromia instinctively turns to aid her friend, Starscream cuts off her arm with his second blade. Standing victorious over the two fallen females, Starscream gloats that they could never have beaten him because he was chosen by the [[Metrotitan (~~Zone~~)\|Titan]] under [[Crystal City]]. Windblade, with the last of her strength, plugs an interface cable into her head—directly linking herself to Metroplex. The chamber comes alive at Windblade's command, blasting Starscream back and restraining him against the wall. With the mental link, Windblade probes all of Metroplex's systems, realizing that the blackouts have been orchestrated to divert power to the Titan's [[space bridge]]. Through the bridge, she is offered glimpses of many of the other worlds across the galaxy that were colonized by [[Titan (group)\|Titans]], but finds that she cannot sense the beacon of [[Caminus (Titan)\|Caminus]]. Perceptions being to swim and blur as Windblade and Metroplex become further and further intertwined, and the truth is revealed to the [[cityspeaker]]: the one who was responsible for the blackouts was Chromia!

	Chromia tries to reason with Windblade, explaining that her plot was all for a single reason—to try and get Windblade home. Chromia refuses see her friend killed for Cybertronians, and insists that Windblade would never return to Caminus alive unless she was forced to do so. Chromia continues to attempt to coax Windblade/Metroplex into activating the bridge. Starscream screams in protest, noting with distress that, as Metroplex is now integrated with [[Iacon (polity)\|Iacon]], using the spacebridge would kill everyone not completely inside the Titan. Windblade/Metroplex's linked mind drifts through space and time, as the cityspeaker loses her grip on reality and starts to feel isolated and alone... but as that thought seizes her mind, a vision of Metroplex offers her his hand with the assurance that she is ''never'' alone. United in purpose, Windblade and Metroplex deactivate the spacebridge. Disconnecting herself from the Titan, Windblade holds a hand up to silence Chromia, and strides past her friend and gives Starscream an offer he cannot refuse: if she frees him, he will keep everything that has occurred a secret, and in return, once Metroplex is well enough, she will allow Starscream unlimited access to the Titan's spacebridge. This will allow the leader of Cybertron to find and unite ''all'' of Cybertron's colony worlds, making the "Chosen One" the true savior of the entire Cybertronian race.
