Back at the base, the Autobots rolled in just in time to hear Will on the phone, talking urgently. As he hung up, Jazz transformed and looked down at the commander. "What's goin' on, Major?" Will turned to the group standing before him, "I just got a call, we need to head to Egypt." The Autobots quickly transformed, heading into their respective planes, Eclipse ending up with Jazz and the Arcee sisters. She parked quietly next to the silver mech, the group remaining silent as the plane took off. The time passed quickly as they flew in silence, until it was broken by Chromia gesturing her mirror at Eclipse.

"Why exactly is she here?"

Eclipse didn't bother to respond, rather backing away with a small whir.

Chromia laughed, "What's the matter, Cry-bot? Scared?"

Elita-1 revved her engine softly at her sister, "Chromia, not now, we're almost there."

Eclipse huffed at Chromia's words, "No, I'd just rather not start anymore conflict at this particular moment."

"No, but I'd genuinely love to know. You screwed everything up, why do you think you're still entitled to a place on this team?"

Jazz flashed his headlights, hoping to calm the femme down. "Hey, Chromia, c'mon, that's enough."

Eclipse however, kept the argument going by responding to the blue femme. "I tried to fix it! I did all I could, she wasn't there! If I could take back what I did you know I would!"

Chromia drove closer to the black femme, "That's just it, you can't. You can't take it back!"

Arcee tried to calm her sister down while Eclipse yelled over her, "I'm well aware of that fact!"

Chromia turned to her sister, "No Arcee, I hope she offlines today!"

Jazz revved his engine loudly, "Alright, Knock it off!!"

Eclipse deadpanned a response, "Or maybe she has a point..."

Elita-1 drove and joined her sisters, "Look, Chromia, we hate her as much as you do, but now isn't the time."

Chromia laughed harshly, "No, do you see that? 'Ooohh maybe she has a point!' look at her! Grabbing for attention and pity!"

Eclipse laughed, "Actually I was trying to get you to shut the frag up!"

Chromia growled, "Respect your elders! You're a child, how dare you speak to us like that!"

Eclipse huffed, "Because I've been on this planet a little longer than you have! And if you don't want me to fight with you, fine. I'll stay here in the safe little plane while you go fight. See how far you get before you need my help."

There was a silence for a moment, then the sisters burst into laughter. Arcee looked over at Eclipse, "I'm sorry, you? Helping us?"

Elita-1 spoke through her laughter, "You don't actually think that do you?"

Chromia snorted, "We don't need your help. Everyone here is far more skilled than you, you're just the long-range bot. Nobot needs you here, we've got it covered."

Eclipse rolled backwards, "Fine, I won't help you. You can just do your thing, and I'll leave you alone."

Chromia sighed, "Finally some common sense!"

As the plane landed, the Autobots rolled out (A/N: eeeyyy ~ Kayla) and Eclipse muttered under her breath, "Glitches." The soldiers jogged out of the planes as the bots transformed, and one of them hollered out to cover Optimus.
