At The Bunker
It had been nearly a week since Colby Charcoal had quit Team CLST and Sari Sumdac could not stop thinking about it. She couldn't help but to do so when she was supposed to help her other teammates and her father build their own GroundBridge. Her Isaac Sumdac came up to her with concern.

"Sari, are you all right?" asked Isaac in worry

"Sari, are you all right?" asked Isaac in worry. Sari shrugged, "I don't know. I already spent a few weeks as leader and already one of them quit. I mean, I don't blame him. Maybe I don't I have the chops to be leader..." He assured, "Sari, I don't think that and neither should you. I'm pretty sure Ozpin doesn't think that as well." Lavender Lilac and Tanner Auburn went over to their friend and leader to join with Isaac. "The way I see it, Sari," stated Tanner. "You've always I had the leadership chops. I'll follow you no matter what." Lavender nodded, "You stood by me and listened even though I didn't want you to. That's what a leader does. And if that doesn't what makes a leader, I don't know what does." Sari smiled at her friends and father as she smiled, "Thanks." Isaac asked, "So, are you ready to test our GroundBridge?" Sari nodded as she went to the laptop connected to their GroundBridge.

Meanwhile At Ozpin's Office
Grimwing tried his best to be patient with the holographic arguing diplomats and bureaucrats about what happened on the Decepticon attack at one of the Energon mines. One of them being Theodore Galloway pointed at Grimwing and stated, "This glorified piece of scrap pile is lucky that there was only one casualty and two injured. Has anyone come to think that these 'Decepticons' are here because of him? That they led them here?" Ozpin replied, "Grimwing hasn't held back any information since he makes his daily reports to me and General Ironwood. He firmly stated that this outbreak was the fugitive Buzzsaw's fault for bringing the conflict from the Autobot and Decepticon's shared home." Grimwing spoke up, "Mr. Galloway, the one who is at fault is Buzzsaw. If he is here to try and build an army from reprogrammed Autobot protoforms, it's essential that we must retrieve them before the Decepticons do." Galloway scoffed, "How can you do that if the enemy has the upper hand in their alien technology than you have so far?" Grimwing kept his cool as he replied, "Creating a GroundBridge is not an easy skill to learn."

Somewhere At Mountain Glenn
Scorponok had spent some time at the CR Chamber to heal his tail, right claw, visor, and knee from his last battle with the Autobot and his human allies. Strika said with disappointment, "You besmirch the Decepticon name by being beaten by one lone Autobot and three humans." Scorponok protested, "These humans were formidable than I least expected them to be! One of these solar cycles I'll squish them in between my claws!" Buzzsaw ordered, "Enough! We've retrieved the Energon from the mine. We'll eventually find another one when the time comes. For now, these organics are dangerous creatures and we must plan our next move carefully if we are to outnumber the Autobot and take over this planet in the name of Lord Megatron."

At The Bunker
Grimwing sighed with annoyance after the meeting at Ozpin's office. He never thought he would have contempt with humans and Faunus that weren't aligned with MECH, but Grimwing never expected to encounter a human much like Galloway who was unfairly blaming him for what happened at the Energon mine. Grimwing hoped that Colby's father and Sky Warper were doing okay. Ever since Colby's heated exchange with him and Sari, Grimwing had distanced himself from the hospital Sherman was staying in. The Autobot got out of his musings when he noticed smoke and hurried inside to see their prototype GroundBridge covered in smoke and his human friends coughing. "Are you okay?" asked Grimwing in concern. Isaac coughed as he blew away smoke and replied, "Yes. You were right about GroundBridge technology. Not as easy as anyone would think, but science is trial and error." Grimwing smiled with some relief as the Teletraan-1 computer node alerted, "Autobot protoform stasis pod heading into Remnant's atmosphere." Grimwing went over to the computer node as he asked, "Possible landing?" The map showed the pod would land on Remnant in the shady part of Vale. "We have to go," said Grimwing. "Every nano-klik wasted Buzzsaw will add another Decepticon into his ranks." Tanner asked, "What about Colby?" Sari sighed, "I'll try and call him, but I can't make any promises that he'll come back." Grimwing shifted into his winged Beowolf mode as the three remaining members of Team CLST got on his back. Grimwing then changed into his hands and feet into tires as they drove off with Isaac watching. "Stay safe, Sari," whispered Isaac to himself.

At The Shady Part Of Vale
A couple of White Fang members were walking as they noticed up in the night sky there was a burning object. "Think it's a shooting star or comet?" asked one of them. The second member answered, "Doubt Adam Taurus will have any interest in rocks flying from space. Let's go." The two went on their way for a faction meeting that primarily recruited Faunus to their cause.

Meanwhile At A Hospital
Colby sat down next to his father who slept in his hospital bed. He looked at his scroll and saw 86 unanswered calls from Sari. "Aren't ya gonna call 'em back?" asked Sherman who woke up to see his son.
