      Back on the Nemesis, Soundwave worked tirelessly to decode the second set of Iacon relics, Megatron and (Y/n) keeping him company. Megatron laughed and turned to the silent mech. "You should have seen the look on Optimus Prime's faceplate when his precious Star Sabre shattered like glass! And with it, his dreams of Autobot victory."

      (Y/n) saw Megatron stomp as he spoke, and she snorted through her nose at how cute he looked.

      "Granted, Optimus will be more determined than ever to discover the locations of the remaining Iacon entries before we can," Megatron looked to (Y/n) to say something else, but a sudden loud beeping caught their attention. "Ah, very good. I see you have decoded the next set of coordinates."

      "Way to step up, Soundwave!" Knockout barged in suddenly. "I do hope this new Iacon relic is something less sacred and more profane. Like an electro disruptor cannon. We need one of those."

      (Y/n) laughed and put her finger to her comm. "Yeah, we do. Dread, report to the bridge immediately."

      "Please," Knockout interrupted. "Commander, allow me the honor of retrieving this relic for you and Lord Megatron."

      "I'm surprised you would risk your finish, so soon after your accident." Megatron glowered.

      Knockout cringed and (Y/n) shot Megatron a look that quickly had him fumbling to be on his sparkmates' good side.

      "Nonetheless, I remain unconvinced that you are the best choice for the task, since you failed to secure the phase shifter."

      Knockout decided to step up for himself after seeing the glare (Y/n) gave Megatron. "I lacked the proper tools. And since Soundwave is busy, I'm sure he won't mind me borrowing this."

      Knockout held up Soundwave's blaster he had stolen from Wheeljack on the last Iacon relic hunt. "So that I may better secure your prize, and heap some hurt on the Autobots."

      Smokescreen had pulled Rayne aside to hang out with her, with the excuse of getting her to stop focusing on how busy Optimus was. So far, he was not doing a good job.

      "I'm gonna be a great warrior someday, like Optimus."

      "I thought the point of this was to take my mind off of Optimus?" Rayne quirked a brow.

      "Right, right. All I'm saying is, I've come a long way and this is one opportunity I don't plan on messing up." Smokescreen held his servos up.

      "Autobots," Optimus announced. "The next Iacon coordinates have been decoded. Ratchet ready the groundbridge."

      Ratchet and Storm's hushed conversation briefly stopped before Ratchet did as told. Smokescreen got really excited, while the rest of the team just sort of hung around behind him.

      "Last one to the Omega Key has to scrub the energon tanks for a week!" Smokescreen called, running off into the groundbridge.

      "Didn't know we were keeping score." Arcee scoffed, which made Rayne laugh.
