03x03 - Without Warning

[bunniefuu]

I don't have...

The Enigma
of Combination!

Predaking's gonna rip
Victorion in half!

I've consider
possible countermeasures...

and there's nothing we
can do to help her!

Doesn't mean we can't try.

Drop her, scrud-snout!

Have a care, Windblade!
Destroy not what you seek to save!

Curiouser and curiouser.

Whoa!

Predaking wants the Enigma of
Combination from Victorion.

But why?

A conundrum for a
later contemplation...

should we be so fortunate.

Hey! Uh, hello?
You want the Enigma?

Well, Victorion
doesn't have it. I do!

Give me the Enigma!

This may not have been my
most intelligent decision.

You have my gratitude for
saving me, friend Perceptor.

I swear I shall
not let you perish.

What a relief.

What's the plan?

Just keep doing what you're doing!
You're following the plan perfectly!

Yes. Indeed it is the
Enigma of Combination.

Time has not diminished
your discerning eye.

Only Solus Prime could
create a powerful artifact...

that radiates such beauty.

In all the millenia, I'd never
considered their true beauty...

regarding them only as tools.

Now, it is both tool and art...

for it shall help me bring back the
most precious work of art ever built.

Come now, Megatronus.

Surely you agree the
Requiem Blaster's too powerful...

for any being to possess.

Now that it has served its
purpose, let me destroy it.

It may have further
purposes, Solus Prime.

Great dangers and
disasters are foretold...

in the Second
Prophecies and elsewhere.

Do not seek to justify your love
of destructive energies, Megatronus.

I will build you a new
w*apon. Two weapons.

I have trod this globe since
the first day it existed...

and handled weapons
mundane and magnificent.

I believe I can be
trusted with a g*n.

Even if it is the one
that defeated Unicron.

Perhaps you are right, but it is
a chance no one should take.

You insult me, Solus Prime.

After all these cycles,
I though you knew me.

Like you, I've
existed for millenia.

Long enough to know that no matter
one's intentions, anything is possible.

Enough of this silliness!

Silliness, is it?

No! It wasn't...
I didn't mean to...

Megatronus... Why would you...
tear us apart... like this?

No. No, no, no!
Don't go!

Don't leave me!

I sense the handiwork of
my minions in that one.

Good. They proceed with their
mission as I proceed with mine.

At some point, you do know
we're going to need a new plan.

We're not at that point yet!

At least your Combiner
still dogs our heels.

But why is the Combiner of
Dinobots still in pursuit?

Maybe he's still mad at us?

Or maybe he's mad Predaking's
trying to claim us for himself.

Maybe there's a way to get
them to turn on each other.

Megatron, you're alive!
But what is this thing?

Hope you're rested up, Megatron,
because it's time for the last stand!

Stay here.
I'll be back.

Stay here?
