            With those words, guards take Ratchet somewhere else. I ask "Where's he going?" My liege says "Oh nowhere. He's Predaking's concern now." I look up at him "They've never met before." Megatron nods "Yes but he's the autobot medic, one of the soul keys in their team." "Meaning—?" "He gets to put all his anger over the loss of his brethren out on him." My leader smirks. I was confused "Why on Ratchet though? Wheeljack and Magnus blew them up." The gladiator vents "It doesn't matter who destroyed them." "Actually now that I think about it, Knockout and whoever should be talking to Predaking, Not Ratchet!" Megatron stares at me astound. Knockout turns to me nervously but yells full force at me, clearly offended "Why should I be in Ratchet's place?" "Didn't you say you guys let them destroy the predacons?" I finish. Shockwave joins in "That was the plan; get the predacons out of the way before they attacked us without Predaking knowing about it. The only cover we had to do so we're the Autobots."

I was kind of hurt by this. "And you didn't tell anyone else? You didn't tell me?" Knockout had calmed and tries to reason with me "Well let's just say that we thought if you knew it was staged, then you wouldn't act the way you did which was ABSOLUTELY Stunning!!" I grit my teeth at him and the old terrocon noise sounds. This time, everyone stepped away from me. Shockwave's horns even went down. The sound goes up as I step near Knockout "Oh would you relax!?" I growl at him. I grab his arm and he hits my arm, then something darts out of my mouth and wraps around his throat. I realize it was from me and I untangle it and quickly retract it as I cover my mouth and stare at him scared. I then look to Megatron, mouth still covered before running off. I transform and fly up to the upper deck just as Predaking lifts up Ratchet by his neck to kill him.

"PREDAKING, ITS NOT HIS FAULT!!!" I yell. The dragon looks to me. He seemed worried. He throws the doctor to the ground and runs over to me, kneeling down to my level "What happened?" He asks. "Why is your mouth leaking energon." I open my jaws and show him. "You're a terrocon." He states, partially calm. I close my Mouth and state "I just found out about it. And I also found out about something else. Don't kill Ratchet, it's not his fault that your predacons were killed." "Then who's was it?" He asks. "And where are they?" I nearly fall to the ground, dizzy. "Believe it or not, it was Megatron's idea, and your creator, Shockwave, let it happen."

Predaking was shocked "No, that's not true! Why would they want to destroy me after they created me?" "Been there, done that. I believed that Megatron would protect me because my family was dead, and here we are lying our heads off to each other and hurting one another. It's simply because he fears you, and any like you." He growls as I go on "I didn't know, I found out the same time he did. I just had to confirm with them. I am terrified of you as well if I'm being honest, but I would never think about killing you. They're sick in the head and—" with that, Predaking leaves us and runs down the hall to get the cons. Ratchet walks up beside me "Thanks for the help." I couldn't justify his tone. "Sarcasm or honesty?" I ask. He answers "Bit of both." I nod "Got it."
