Now that Deathsaurus has increased his own power, can Star Saber stop him? And who is this mysterious Solon?
Synopsis
On Earth, Deathsaurus and Solon have set an entire forest on fire. Harnessing the energy from the forest fire, Deathsaurus increases his power enough to trounce Landcross. From behind a tree, Jean watches the whole thing go down. He attempts to run for help, but is spotted by the dark, helmeted figure named Solon. Jean finds himself cut off by fallen debris, allowing Solon to launch his grappling-chain fist at him and snare him by the neck.
Star Saber and the Brainmasters arrive on the scene just in the nick of time. The Brainmasters combine into Road Caesar and, together with their commander, rush Deathsaurus. Effortlessly, Deathsaurus waves both Autobots aside, disassembling Road Caesar in the process. Thanks to the forest fire energy, Deathsaurus is now more than a match for Star Saber.
As Deathsaurus gloats, Solon arrives with Jean held hostage, violently strangling the boy in a headlock. Infuriated, Deathsaurus smacks Solon away from Jean, telling him that he could have killed the human boy with that choke-hold. The blow knocks off Solon's helmet, revealing the face of a human (well, cyborg) child the same age as Jean.
Star Saber takes advantage of Deathsaurus's momentary distraction and grabs the Emperor of Destruction by his legs, sending him into the "Super Saber Meteor Spin". Having been smashed into the ground, Deathsaurus transforms and retreats, with Solon escaping on top of Eaglebreast.
As the Brainmasters help the Multiforce to their feet, an unexpected rain shower conveniently puts out the forest fire. Jean is still surprised that Solon has turned out to be a human child, like him. Star Saber responds that Solon is like Jean's "darker half". The Autobots then roll out to help all the injured and displaced animals.
