(Warning, this will be a long chapter)

Delta-wave's POV

I am on the bridge searching for Megatron's signal. "I recommend that we utilize the warship's operating system to search for Megatron's life signal" Ratchet states as he appears with the others.

"Doc, that remodel who kicked our tailpipes. He might have looked and sounded like old bucket-head, but it wasn't him" Bulkhead tells him.

"I am already scanning for Megatron's signature" I tell them.

"That much I know. But even if a fraction of Megatron's Spark still flickers within his body, the ship's scanners may pick it up" Ratchet states. He boosts the power of the scanners.

"Found him" I state as his location appears on screen.

"Megatron's life signal" Ratchet confirms.

"So, somewhere inside that new body armor, he's still alive?" Arcee asks.

"He's perished and returned before a phenomenon no doubt aided by the blood of Unicron,
which has coursed through his veins" Ratchet explains.

"The coordinates indicate he's left Darkmount" Bee states as I triangulate Megatron's coordinates. It reveals a familiar locations. "We were there today" Bee states.

"Predaking's refuge" Arcee states.

"At least Predaking isn't present, which means neither is Sky" I say in relief.

"Unicron's retracing our steps?" Bulkhead asks.

"Whoa, wait. What in Alpha Trion's beard is that?" Smokescreen asks as the screen flashes purple.

"Given that we are dealing with Unicron himself, the energy mass can be only one
thing. Dark energon" Ratchet states. "But, for what purpose?" he asks.

"We all saw it. The valley was filled with ancient Predacon bones" Bee states.

"Great, more zombie cons" I grumble.

"Unicron's raising an undead army" Arcee adds.

"One currently traveling across the Hydrax Plateau towards. The well of Allsparks, the most
direct route to Cybertron's core and Primus" Ratchet tells us. "Unicron clearly seeks to access our planet's core from the same point of entry that we used to restore it" he states.

"No doubt, with every intention of undoing our efforts" Arcee adds.

"So, what do we do?" Bulkhead asks.

"We put ourselves between Unicron's army and the well. Our strongest assets are this warship and whatever relics might be stored in its vault" Bee states.

"Last time I looked, just the Polarity Gauntlet and the Immobilizer" Smokescreen states.

"Hopefully the genuine article this time" Arcee adds.

"Genuine one?" I ask confused.

"Tell you about it later" Smokescreen tells me. "I'll round up the secret weapons" he adds and leaves the room.

"Bulkhead, think you can pilot this ship?" Bee asks.

"Con engineering. User-friendly, right?" he asks and heads for the steering panel.

"Ratchet, you've given your all to save this world once already" Bee says. We left Ratchet with Ultra Magnus on the ground. Before leaving. I hated to leave them behind, but Ultra Magnus needed a medic and Ratchet could not tend to him at ground zero of a massive fight.

We start to exam what we have as Bulkhead takes us to the well of All Sparks. "What we go?" I ask Bee.

"Primary fusion cannons, null-rays, ion blasters. Everything we need to stand a fighting chance against Unicron's army" he states.
