2 of 3 Parts:
Elita crouches down to meet his gaze.
Elita: Listen to me. I really want you two to hear this. Are you listening? *Orion and Max look up at her* I'm better than both of you.
Orion Pax: *deadpan* Yeah, okay, we're hearing you.
Elita: I'm better than you in every way, except you have hope. You always have. You both went back into the mine to rescue Jazz. You snuck up to the surface to find the Matrix of Leadership.
Max Blaze: *chuckles* Yeah, and how'd that work out?
Elita: My point is, that your instincts tell you to break protocol for a reason. This blind optimism that you have is why you make such bold and courageous choices, that are also extremely stupid.
Orion Pax and Max Blaze: First time giving a pep talk?
Elita: You're both inspiring. You can envision a better future that no one else can see. And if we ever want to see B and D-16 again, that is the Orion Pax and Max Blaze that we need right now. Listen to me. We can do this.
Hearing those words made Max Blaze smile.
Max Blaze: Yeah! You’re right. Thanks Elita.
Elita: No problem.
Max Blaze: Orion! What’s the plan?
Orion Pax: Those Energon trains will be heading back to Iacon. If we intercepted one...
Elita: Hell yes, I can reroute it. What else do we need?
Max Blaze: We’ll need a huge army to join us, to fight.
Elita: That's the spirit.
Orion Pax: That's a great idea, and my bold instincts tell me we have to recruit some nutjobs.
Max Blaze: You mean like, convincing those guys? *Points*
Max Blaze points at the High guard and Sharkticon brothers as Elita and Orion glances at them.
Orion Pax: Yep.
Elita: I was afraid you'd say that.
Max Blaze: Same Elita, same!
Max and Orion approaches them
Orion Pax: Uh, Shockwave, Soundwave. You in the back.
They look at Orion.
Orion Pax: In order to save our captured friends, we have to act now.
Shockwave approaches Orion.
Shockwave: *threatenly* How about I blast you back to Iacon?!
