sister!" and jumped to Una's side, causing the mud patch to be tossed at Waspinator's eyes. 

"Oh, Waspinator cannot see!" as the wasp Predacon began to fly out of control.

"Fool! Your pitiful patch-ups are no match for me!" Inferno taunted yet Waspinator crashed towards him as they began flying like insane as a result of the mix-up.

Most of the audience laughed.

"That was sloppy!" Jetfire laughed.

But when they crashed to an obstacle in the river that blocked them due to Depth Charge's size, Dinobot easily caught up to them and announced "Targets immobilized, preparing to terminate!" yet he was caught up by the mix up by Inferno and Waspinator.

Only Grimlock stopped laughing while Dreadwing and Predaking were not affected.

"Oh no..." Rattrap said upon seeing the mountaintop's glow once again.

"All Predacons, return to my coordinates! The disruptive cannon is now operational. And, as it happens, our targets are right in line with the Maximal base.We shall destroy both in a single, glorious onslaught of energon devastation!" Megatron announced then snapped to Tarantulas "All power to maximum! Prepare to fire!"

The Maximals caught wind of what happened as a recovered Cheetor hailed Primal "Oh-oh. BigBot!"

"Battle stations!" Primal ordered as Cheetor, Rhinox, Silverbolt and Blackarachnia scrambled to their posts.

"Oh no..." Rhinox gasped upon detecting the weapon from observation range.

"Were it not for Cliffjumper's prediction, we would have been much worried by now." Ratchet stated.

Rattrap then turned to Una upon reaching shoreline with Depth Charge. "You better bail, sister. The ray won't hurt you... but our exploding bodies might."

"Yee-ha! Lucky going!" Quickstrike hollered. As Inferno and Waspinator carried Dinobot back to the site.

"FIRE!" Megatron ordered.

But unfortunately, the firing sequence caused yet again another moment of Energon instability.

"What? No, no!" Megatron despaired as the Energon source began to overload.

"Una, pretty." she revealled the stabilizer crystal that she began to wear like a flower on her head.

"A stabilizer crystal!" Rattrap and Depth Charge realized.

"Seems Cliffjumper was right after all." Perceptor realized.

"NOOOO!!!" Megatron yelled as the Energon Source exploded, destroying the disruptor ray and the site in the process. The entire chain reaction prompted both Maximals to dive back to the water for cover and shook up the systems of the Maximal Base significantly.

Cliffjumper smirked.

"Clever human. Without that stabilizer to contain the raw Energon, the weapon apparently malfunctioned and imploded, because it could not handle it's own power source: raw Energon." Perceptor deduced.

"And that's how the humans helped us against the Decepticons." Prime stated.

Those former Decepticons who were on Earth frowned.

Depth Charge resurfaced with Una and Rattrap, both coughing.

"You OK?" Rattrap asked as Una nodded.

"You know, those Preds are probably slagged and helpless back there." Depth Charge stated. "We oughtta go finish 'em off."

"Don't bother, they don't seem like they're going for more yet." Elita suggested passively.

"In case you haven't noticed, Scales, we're not exactly in fighting trim ourselves." Rattrap reminded then suggested "I say we go home."

"Why am I not surprised?" as Depth Charge then floats back home, to the protohuman habitat.

"Say, Uh...Una. Cheetor ever showed you my recipe for fried flounder?" Rattrap asked, yet Una didn't get what he meant.

The Orb cuts off shortly afterwards.
