The Maximals talk about the Seacons' previous antics while the pirates meet Galvatron's ultimate weapon.
Synopsis
In a library, Galvatron speaks of the eternal story of light and darkness, noting that it's often darkness that gets forgotten as stories are passed down throughout generations. He asks if the audience remembers the Seacons and what occurred when they returned to space and promises to tell of their fate.
In the void they were sucked into, the Seacons aboard their out-of-control photon sailer come face to face with a demonic planet. Scylla tries sending a SOS for a rescue, which is caught by Artemis and Moon at the Moon. They can't do anything about it and can only hope that the Maximals on Gaea get the call.
NAVI gets the signal, but it's weak and indecipherable. The Maximals realize that the only possible source could be the Seacons, which leads them to think back to their conflicts with the pirates. They go over events such as when Scuba and Diver stole their ship, when they teamed up with Megastorm, when Scuba and Bighorn "fought" over Scylla, when the Jointrons kidnapped Scylla, and when Lio Convoy and God Neptune had a duel. Lio Convoy wonders why they're remembering the Seacons like this, and the Maximals just brush it off.
As the photon sailer is about to crash onto the planet, a beam protects it from destruction, and Galvatron communicates with the pirates, claiming their wills for himself. He explains that the planet is Nemesis, an artificial one created by the Predacons' science. All of Predacon bases on Gaea built for Angolmois were created in preparation for Nemesis's arrival. Once it is near to Gaea, all of the Angolmois will be drained by the artificial planet through those bases. With this energy, Nemesis would become the prime "fortress planet" in the universe. Halfshell tries to reject Galvatron's offer of servitude, but a mysterious energy overcomes the Seacons and they dedicate their lives to the cause of the Emperor of Destruction!
In the library, Galvatron notes that the audience may think Lio Convoy and his Maximals are the strongest, as they are on the side of light, but the story just told should convince them that the one still standing in the end will be of darkness—Galvatron himself.
