Sari's POV

"Megatron has desecrated the resting place of our fallen ancestors," Ratchet observed. "And his own."

"Not even the dead are free from his warmongering," Optimus said gravely.

"Talk about egotistical," I quipped.

"At last, symbiosis," Megatron said with an evil smirk. "I can feel it. I possess complete control over my army. Destroy them!" As the Terrorcons advanced on us, Optimus and I began firing at them. But they just kept coming.

"Optimus, if our combatants are already deceased, how can we possibly defeat them?" Ratchet asked.

"Ratchet, retreat!" Optimus ordered. "Bridge yourself back to base."

"No, I shall stand with you, Optimus," Ratchet said as he deployed his blades. "You may require a medic when this is over with." He sliced a Terrorcon's arm off, noticing it lost its purple glow.

"I recommend dissection," he suggested. "The smaller the pieces, the better."

"Sound advice, old friend," Optimus said as he switched his ion blasters out in favor of his swords. I, on the other hand, equipped my Hyperspace Mallet in my left hand and my right Master Blade, as well as my Azusa Skates.

"Let's bash some zombie knees in!" I said.

"I have mastered Dark Energon," Megatron said. "When you fall, Optimus, you too shall join my army."

"Fat chance, Buckethead!" I snarked.

Miko's POV

"Get in, now!" Bulkhead ordered as he opened the door for the humans.

"Thanks, Bulkhead," Jack said.

"Yeah, thanks," Raf added.

"Wh-what are you doing here?" Bulkhead asked.

"We were worried about Miko," Jack told him. "Have you seen her?"

"What's she look like?" I asked. Bulkhead drove off, putting some distance between us and the Cons.

"Everyone out!" Bulkhead ordered as he opened his doors, Jack and Raf hopping out. "And this time, please, wait here?" To summarize what happened next, let's just say I got nauseous being thrown around as Bulkhead took out the Cons stationed atop the Nemesis.

"Where's Miko?" I heard him ask as I banged on the inside of his storage compartment. He opened it, and I pulled myself up. "Miko?"

"I heaved on your floor mats," I apologized as Bulkhead lowered me to the hull of the ship. "Sorry. Remind me never to do that again." Bulkhead resumed engaging the Cons, moving to pick me up.

"I'm gonna heave again." We made our way through the Nemesis until we ran into some familiar faces.

"Friendly!" Arcee said.

"Hello!" Bulkhead quipped.

"Brought the humans, huh?"

"You try getting them to stay behind."

"We need to find Fowler and get the kids out of here."

"He's in the brig," Jack and Raf said.

Sari's POV

"Optimus, this prolonged exposure to Dark Energon is sapping our strength," Ratchet said.

"We cannot falter now," Optimus said. Unfortunately, the Terrorcons dogpiled Optimus and Ratchet, breaking Ratchet's right arm in the process.

"OPTIMUS!" I called out as Terrorcons grabbed my wrists and ankles, pulling on my limbs. "Get up!" With a powerful battle cry, Optimus freed himself before going to free Ratchet and I, saving me from being dismembered.
