Dodger and Thomas were driving towards their base. The kids haven't been at the base for a while, especially since the Autobots were so busy with the hunt for the Omega Keys. Now the kids were just learning about them, and the shock of Starscream stealing them.
Thomas: So, these "Omega Keys" could revive Cybertron?
Dodger: Thats right. How they do so however, is beyond me.
Thomas: OK, why didn't you tell us about them?
Dodger: With the fate of Cybertron at stake, it was all hands-on deck. Now we have to get those Keys back from Starscream. Wherever that grounded con is...
Thomas: Can we help you? At all?
Dodger: Maybe. You're willing to do so?
Thomas: Sure Dodge, you saved our planet. Now we can help you save yours.
Dodger: I appreciate that, Thomas. We'll see what you kids can do. Thanks.
Thomas: Anytime partner.
They soon came to the base to find the other Autobots telling Jack, Miko and Raf about the Omega Keys as well.
Miko: You know, I might not be the first human on Cybertron, but I can still be the first human exchange student.
Thomas: Uh, Miko, we would all be considered "Exchange students."
Miko: Oh yeah? I'm still gonna be the first.
Jack: Why didn't you tell us about the Omega Keys before?
Arcee: You probably didn't notice, but things have been kind of intense around here lately.
Raf: So, you guys could really be going home soon, huh?
Miko: Don't worry, Raf. You'll come visit! Once we get our place set up, he can bunk with us, right, Bulk?
Miko may have been excited, but Bulkhead was unsure about how to tell his charge how that might be unlikely.
Bulkhead: Uh, Miko?
Miko: You are taking me with you, right?
Before Bulkhead could answer, Ratchet brought everyone back to the situation at hand.
Ratchet: Aren't we getting ahead of ourselves here? Not only do we lack any actual method of reaching Cybertron, but Starscream now controls the sole means of our planet's restoration.
Optimus: As far as we know.
Smokescreen: You think Starscream's rejoined the Cons?
Arcee: He might've used the Omega keys to buy back Megatron's favor.
Roadflare: Would Megatron even let Screamer rejoin him?
Dodger: Yeah, what would stop Megatron from just taking the Keys and then scrapping Screamy?
Ratchet: While Megatron certainly wouldn't hesitate to do so, I would think that Starscream would first try selling them to the highest bidder. It wouldn't surprise me if he had the nerve to contact us and....
He was interupted by a beeping from the computer.
Bulkhead: Okay, that's weird.
Arcee: Is it Starscream?
But when Ratchet checked the computer, it was indeed a message, but it wasn't Starscream.
Ratchet: No. It is Dreadwing. And he wants to meet.
Gulfstream: It could be a trap. Do we go along with this?
Bulkhead: Yeah, how do we know Dreadwing won't try anything!?
