The fog gripped the forest flown over by the Nemesis, while the Decepticons continued with their tasks. On the Nemesis, silence ruled over every room, except for one where Third in Command Soundwave was decrypting datas.
The TIC of the Decepticons kept tapping on the console with his slim digits, the only sound heard in the room except for Megatron's slow, steady venting. The Warlord was sitting on his throne, waiting, listening, ready to notice the minimum change in the atmosphere of the control room.

That change presented itself as an annoying sound, alerting both bots about a signal near a rural area not far from their position. Scanning the signal, both got to the conclusion that it was a neutral signal, neither an Autobot nor Decepticon.
After receiving the news, the Warlord decided to check on this signal as there was the possibility of finding some new alliance. And in no time, Soundwave settled the coordinates.

The ground bridge brought a small group of Decepticons to the coordinates settled, other than the Warlord and his TIC, Knockout, Shockwave, and Predaking, too, were on the mission. All five bots walked through the dense vegetation of the woods they ended up in, observing for other Cybertronians.
Not far from them, a column of smoke rose from two emergency pods, probably from a Cybertronian ship. The group advanced without fear, observing the destroyed pods, but no one in their vicinity.

Out of nowhere, the Decepticons were startled by the sound of a blaster, and Megatron found a larger bot's weapon aimed at his temple. The Warlord turned slowly, observing and studying the taller bot, dark gray mainly with hints of dark red, many scars on their frame.
Looking at their faceplate, Megatron recognized the bot with a surprised gasp. He backed up, testing his movement limits, and the bot charged the blaster.

Megatron: "Fireblaze."

The bot stared down at the Warlord, analyzing his movements, and then finally lowering the weapon.

Fireblaze: "Megatron."

The two stared at each other, unsure of what the other was doing there, but a smirk creped up on the larger bot's faceplate. The unknown bot burst out in a loud, deep laugh, and the other Decepticons remained motionless at the reaction of this stranger.

Fireblaze: "I can't believe it's been, how long? Three hundred years?

Megatron: "Five hundred, Fireblaze."

The tone of the Warlord pierced through the frame of his soldiers as they shivered: he didn't use such tone for everyone. He was cold, steady, and staring at the bot with hateful wrath.

Fireblaze: "Yeah, maybe a little more than what I remembered."

The moment Fireblaze moved her sight, she noticed the other Decepticons. They stayed still, observing the tall bot standing in front of them. The tension was palpable as Megaron and Fireblaze glared at each other, both growling.
At some point, another bot appeared from behind the vegetation. She wasn't taller than Knockout and had a very bright white plating covered in distinct celestial blue hints. She stopped right between the two of them, Fireblaze staring down at her with a serious expression, and Megatron with pure, utter shock.
