Early morning arrives at the Axalon, all should be asleep accept the Maximal watching the monitors for Predacon activities. Rattrap yawns since he is the one on night watch. "I hope the others get up soon so I can catch some Zzzzz's." Rattrap hears activity going on in the lab. "Wonder who is staying up so late?" Rattrap turns the monitor on and notices Nibblix packing her scanner and a storage container. "Whoah, where is Nibs going at this odd hour?", smirks Rattrap.

Nibblix glances at Red's spark that is on her desk glowing a pale blue. "Red, I promise that I will find a way to save you. Rodimus Primal will keep you company while I am away scouting for the materials I need to build you a new body." Nibblix smiles when the spark flickers brightly.

Nibblix smiles at Rodimus Primal, "I trust you will take great care of Red while I am gone?" Rodimus Primal yawns then curls his body around the spark casing and smiles in fox form. "Red is safe with me, please hurry and find what you need. Nibblix scurries out of her lab.

Nibblix pauses to radio for some help. She can not go looking for all the parts alone.

Someone else is up very early, at Darkside. Tarantulas cackles, "I anticipate that the Maximals will be looking for the parts needed to save Slasher Red's life. I must stop them at all costs. There is no way that I am allowing the annoying raptor to live. Slasher Red is a thorn in my side that needs to be pulled." Tarantulas grabs his weapon and prepares to leave Darkside in search of the materials the Maximals need.

"Hello gruesome!", Blackarachnia says from her hiding spot. "Where are you going at this hour?" Tarantulas scowls because he really dislikes Blackarachnia, "None of your business witch." Blackarachnia leaps into the air and lands in front of Tarantulas, "I am going with you since I trust that you want to stop the Maximals from saving Slasher Red. That raptor has caused all of us trouble and it is payback time for her." Tarantulas sighs since he has no choice in this matter. He does not want Blackarachnia to tell Megatron that he left Darkside. Tarantulas mutters under his breath, "Meddling widow." The comment does not phaze Blackarachnia since she is used to Tarantulas' attitude towards her. The duo leaves Darkside ready to stop the Maximals.

Megatron is wide awake in his throne room. He scowls when he notices Tarantulas and Blackarachnia sneaking out of Darkside. "Where are those two trouble makers up to? No doubt they want to cause me trouble, yessss." Megatron admires a feather that is on his wall, it belonged to Pteryxia his love who was slain by Slasher Red in a recent battle. Megatron knows that the Maximals plan to save Slasher Red. He intends to stop them himself. "Tarantulas and Blackarachnia have their uses, yessss." Megatron smiles in his T-Rex form. "Inferno come to my room immediately."

Inferno enters the room, "You wanted to see me Royalty?" Megatron sighs at the name, "Inferno I would like you to destroy Slasher Red's spark." Inferno snaps to attention, "As you wish my Queen." Megatron groans as the fire ant leaves. "I wish he would stop calling me that."

Megatron leaves Darkside, "I on the other hand will stop Nibblix from getting the energon Slasher Red needs." Megatron runs out of the area.

Snowstalker and Snowblaze are busy chatting when they get a message from Nibblix. "Snowstalker and Snowblaze, will you be able to help me find a rare metal? I need this metal to build Slasher Red a new body." Snowblaze smiles, "Sure we will help you find the rare metal." Snowstalker stretches then nods to Nibblix on the monitor. Snowstalker and Snowblaze receive the coordinates from Nibblix. They blink because the metal is located in the Arctic region.

"Nibblix, you certainly picked the right Maximals for the job. We will find the metal for you.", Snowstalker says with a smile. Nibblix grins on the monitor, "Great! I will be able to search for the necessary energon to save our friend. Goodluck, and may the Matrix protect you." Snowy and Snowstalker leave in search of the rare metal Nibblix needs.

Dinobot stares into Nibblix's lab and narrows his optics. "Growl, Red used to be my mate. I am not going to give her up that easilly without a fight." Dinobot storms into the room and snaps his jaws at Rodimus. Rodimus Primal leaps away from Red's spark casing. "Dinobot, what has gotten into you?" Dinobot leaps into the air and slashes at Rodimus Primal. "You listen to me, Slasher Red is my mate and you are threatening my relationship with her." Rodimus Primal does a double take, "I had no idea that Red meant that much to you? I will guard her spark until Nibblix can save her. I will not interfere with your relationship with Slasher Red. I just want to know that she will be safe."

Rodimus Primal gives a pleasant look, "Dinobot, if Red is your mate shouldn't you be saving her not growling at me? Nibblix could use your help. Dinobot glares at Rodimus Primal and leaves the room in a huff. Rodimus Primal grins slyly to himself, "I hope Dinobot fails, Red is my rightful mate, not his." Slasher Red's spark burns with anger, even though she has no body, she is ticked off with Rodimus Primal for being sneaky to Dinobot. Dinobot runs into the Control Room then rides the manlift down.

Rattrap watches Dinobot leave the Axalon. "Chopper face is going out too. Is there something I am missing here?" Rattrap sighs, "I will never understand old scale belly."

Dinobot has no trouble finding Nibblix since she is busy scanning the area with her energon detector. "Nibblix, are you having any luck finding the energon needed?" Nibblix is startled to see Dinobot. "Dinobot, what are you doing here? I thought you were watching your mate?" Dinobot shakes his head, "Rodimus Primal said that you need my help. Grrrrr, if that fox lied to me, I swear to tear him to shreds when I get back to the Axalon." Nibblix smiles, "Dinobot, I do need help. I just found plenty of energon needed to save your mates life."

Megatron spots Nibblix and Dinobot looking for something in the desert. "Hmm, I will get rid of that pesky Scientist and the traitor Dinobot. Megatron Terrorize!"

Nibblix and Dinobot Maximize when they spot Megatron. "What do you want Megatron?", says Nibblix. Megatron smiles at the femme, "Why Nibblix, I came here to end your life and Dinobot's too, yesss. You are not saving Slasher Red."

Dinobot rushes forward and attacks Megatron, "Nibblix get the necessary energon back to base. I will deal with Megatron. Red must be saved no matter the cost. Roarrrrrr!" Nibblix retreats from the area with the energon. She prays to Primus that Dinobot will be safe battling Megatron alone.

Nibblix runs into her lab and sighs with relief because Red's spark is still alive. Nibblix looks at Rodimus Primal, "Dinobot needs your help, please help him. I will start work on Red immediately." Rodmus Primal yawns and trots out of the room. He leaves the Axalon to save Dinobot.

Rodimus Primal grumbles to himself, "Why do I have to help Dinobot? He is a Predacon. I cannot understand why Red loves that velociraptor. I am better looking than Dinobot."

Megatron takes advantage over Dinobot's tired state. He fires constantly at the traitor. Dinobot fights back as best as he can in his weakened state. Dinobot thinks of his dying mate, that keeps Dinobot fighting.

Rodimus Primal trots into the area. He is struck speechless over the condition Dinobot is in, he suddenly feels awful for tricking Dinobot.

Dinobot slumps to the ground a real mess. His optic is shattered, he is leaking mech fluid, his body is sparking constantly. Rodimus Primal wonders how Dinobot can fight while in that state. Dinobot leaps into the air, he spins his cyberslashing tail before going into stasis lock. Megatron laughs and prepares to fire on the fallen Maximal. Megatron calls up all his energy to create the blast that will terminate Dinobot's life.

Megatron fires his T-Rex head at Dinobot. Rodimus Primal leaps into the line of Megatron's fire and takes the blast meant for Dinobot. The red fox collapses from the shock of the blast.

Megatron feels a power surge. He returns to his beast mode and retreats. He figures that the two Maximals are history. Rodimus Primal wakes up, he feels his power fading fast. He crawls up to Dinobot and uses what is left of his power to stablize Dinobot's spark. Rodimus Primal dies from the wound Megatron inflicted on him.

Nibblix and Tracker look for Rodimus Primal and Dinobot when the Maximals are gone to long. Tracker gasps when he sees the terrible shape Dinobot is in. "Nibblix is he?" Nibblix rushes to Dinobot's side. "Dinobot is still alive, I wish I could say the same about Rodimus Primal. He must have died saving Dinobot." Nibblix and Tracker bury Rodimus Primal. His spark rejoins the Matrix.

Tracker carries Dinobot back to the Axalon. Nibblix sighs constantly because repairing the two raptors will be no easy task. She hopes that Snowblaze and Snowstalker will find the necessary materials at the Arctic. Nibblix hooks Dinobot up onto lifesupport.
