Normal Perspective:

In the void of space, high above the planet known as Earth, the battle between Autobot and Decepticon was underway, as the Autobots, who had been able to bridge up to the flight deck, took out any enemies that attacked them, as Ratchet spoke to them all through the comm.

"The Omega Lock's control station is located on the lower deck."

Hearing the indication, Arcee, Bumblebee, Cliffjumper, Tailgate, and Smokescreen all headed into the ship to head there.

"Come on!" The blue femme called to them.

Inside the ship, Ratchet and Knockout transformed and ran through the halls.

"We are making our way there now."

At the base, the humans listened to the battle and the orders being given.

"Copy Ratchet. We will rendezvous at the objective!" Optimus replied. "Arcee, lead Stealth Team to secure the Omega Lock. Our Michael, you will lead Michael, Orion Pax, Elita-One, and Starscream to take out any and all Heartless and otherworldly entities aboard the Warship. We cannot allow any otherworldly beings to remain in our world. Ultra Magnus, you and the Wreckers storm the bridge. Dreadwing, Skyquake, and Breakdown, you will accompany them. Prevent the Decepticons from targeting the device if Stealth Team is delayed."

As Optimus made his way to the Nemesis on his own, the Autobots made their way into the ship itself.

As they did, Arcee commed Optimus.

"Optimus, if we fail to secure the Lock before it's ready to deploy, do we destroy it?"

"I do not intend to squander a second chance to restore Cybertron."

Inside the ship, the 'Bots went their separate ways as they reached a crossroad.

"Wreckers!" Ultra Magnus called, and the Wreckers, alongside Dreadwing, Skyquake, and Breakdown followed.

"Mike, Orion, Elita, Starscream, come on!" Michael called.

"'Bee, Cliff, Tail, Smokescreen, with me."

As they headed off, Smokescreen, who was walking backwards and hadn't been listening, could only watch as Megatron arrived at the upper deck with the Dark Star Saber sheathed on his back.

"Smokescreen!"

At last, Smokescreen was pulled back to reality and followed them.

Outside, Megatron climbed up to the edge of the ship to see Optimus flying towards them, the blaster fire and magical attacks missing him.

Megatron jumped high into the air, unsheathed the Dark Star Saber, and slashed, sending out a sword beam, which hit Optimus and damaged his jetpack severely, causing him to lose control until he landed on one of the spires of the Nemesis, almost falling off, but was able to grab hold of the edge as Megtron sheathed the large blade and transformed, flying back up to the ship. Optimus looked up and saw the Omega Lock near him, and climbed his way up the spire.

Inside the ship, Arcee, Bumblebee, Cliffjumper, Tailgate, and Smokescreen were driving through the halls when Smokescreen transformed and spoke up, remembering something he had seen the previous time he had been on the ship with Michael.

"Go on without me."

The others stopped and transformed upon hearing this.

"That isn't the mission." Arcee stated, but Smokescreen didn't care, and activated the Phase Shifter.

"There's something I needed to do."

"Smokescreen, what are you-"

Tailgate stopped short as the rookie disappeared through a wall, and Arcee sighed.
