Synopsis
With the Autobots free, the Firecons rush forth to stop them, but Windbreaker knocks them back with his wind abilities. Pyro and Jhiaxus begin to spar. Aquafend attempts to help him out, but Pyro precognitive senses reveal that Hi-Q inside him. Aquafend hesitates, and Jhiaxus grabs the Autobot, mocking him for valuing a Nebulon's life over his own. Blaze lets loose with his abilities, knocking the Sharkticons offline with a shot that ricochets into various important components of the base before finally striking Jhiaxus' head. His chest panels opening as he falls unconscious, Pyro grabs Hi-Q, and the Autobots evacuate as the lab equipment begins to explode. Unfortunately, Bumblebee, Ironhide, and Mirage stop them before they can reach their ship.
Observing from a nearby cliff head, Nightracer remarks to herself that everything has gone wrong, as Side Burn finally catches her. Not in the mood for his flirtatious advances, Nightracer points him to the situation below, and the sight causes Side Burn to regain his memory, as he remembers the war. Side Burn tells her that he has to join them, and Nightracer tries to convince him to stay with them, telling him that he's a Decepticon now, like her. Side Burn points out she was never truly a Decepticon, and was meant to rise above factions and symbols, and offers to take her and the Battlechargers with him.
Down below, Pyro tries the same, but Ironhide rebuffs him, claiming that he's just as bad as Jhiaxus said. Angered, Blaze gets right in his face, telling him that while Jhiaxus goals are great, the universe isn't a black and white place, and that they have a duty. His words strike a chord, and the Go-Bots admit all they really want it to be left in peace. Pyro offers to show them the Autobots of Earth and Nebulos, and that if they still aren't convinced, they'll take them back to Qre. The Autobots prepare to head off, with Side Burn and his friends joining them; meanwhile, Sky-Byte and Jhiaxus watch from above. Jhiaxus reveals that his encounter was planned, to test a theory, and decides that for a true second generation to exist, he must exterminate the first!
