The group walked along as Lockjaw was in front of them. "What's the story of this sea?," Bulkhead asked. "I heard this place was a wasteland used for experiments," Springer says as Lockjaw looked at him. "I heard this place is where cannibals live," Retrogar says with a shrug.

"Never heard of this place 'till now," Sparkscape says as Showdown patted his shoulder blade. "Never have I," Showdown spoke as Lockjaw chuckled lightly. "What's so funny?," Retrogar asked as Lockjaw holds up a small shard of a crystal.

"This is where Crystal City used to stand or when the lake of Energon was here, mysterious, but I believe this place is where Crystal City used to stand as the first battle of the Primes started," Lockjaw spoke as they all looked at him surprised. "How come we never heard of it?," Bulkhead asked curiously as Lockjaw turned to him. "History is stored in the Hall of Records, but history is mostly in Nova Cronum," Lockjaw spoke as the group gave him a look.

"You know a lot of things that we don't," Retrogar says as Lockjaw turned to him. "Yes, but there are things that I, myself, don't know either," Lockjaw spoke as he turned to face in front of him.

As they kept walking, Lockjaw couldn't help, but think of Firekicker and Heatwave. Remembering the deed that he has to do, but right now wasn't the time as he heard a distant jet.

"Everyone, take cover!," Lockjaw ordered as they hid in the rumbles within the sea. A few Seekers flew by as "What are they going to do?," Bulkhead asked as Lockjaw looked around. "The best we can do is stand down and hide until they go, if they see us, we ought to take 'em down," Lockjaw says as Bulkhead nodded. "Oh com'on, we need the action," Retrogar complained as he felt a death glare mentally hitting his helm.

"Or, erm, maybe not," Retrogar muttered as Springer looked up at Lockjaw. "I say we take them down," Springer says as Lockjaw thought for a moment. "Maybe we can find a way to eliminate them without them 'Cons knowin'?," Showdown questioned that an idea found its way into Lockjaw's processor. "Spark, you can create flames, right?," Lockjaw asked as Sparkscape nodded. "That I can, what for?," the mech said, feeling excited.

"Let's burn some 'Cons," Lockjaw says as Sparkscape nodded. "Got it, boss," Sparkscape says as the two got to work. The four mechs watch Lockjaw and Sparkscape pour the ground with some kind of fuel, Bulkhead then realizes this was a different fuel that they were using and only Lockjaw knows where this fuel comes from.

"Where did you get the fuel from?," Bulkhead asked as Lockjaw turned to him. "I'm not saying anything about it," Lockjaw says as Showdown snorted. "I can really bet that you stole that from Kaon," Showdown says as Lockjaw let out a chuckle. "I wish, but it's not," Lockjaw spoke as Showdown scoffed lightly.

"Polyhex?," Retrogar asked as Lockjaw tilted his helm a bit. "Maybe, maybe not," Lockjaw began to tease. "Fragger," Springer remarked as Lockjaw snorted. "Oh please, you all are looking at me begging me to tell you what it is," Lockjaw says as Sparkscape threw a raw Energon shard on the ground.

""Back into hiding, that energon will create a signal, then we'll get 'em with this," Lockjaw quickly ordered as they went back into hiding. "Are you sure this is going to work?," Retrogar asked as Springer nodded. "You can doubt me," Lockjaw says as they heard the jet engines.

"But I don't doubt that," Lockjaw spoke as they saw the Seekers looking at the piece of energon. Lockjaw put up three digits before putting one down, Sparkscape had his sparker ready. Then another digit went down as the Seekers were talking amongst each other as Sparkscape felt burning excitement.

Then the group of Wrecker watched as Lockjaw's last digit went down and Sparkscape lit the ground that burst into flame. The Seekers, who didn't see it coming, tried to get out, but the flames were too hot to handle.
