Meanwhile, back on Cybertron, Ariel and Dion have made refuge in Polyhex, along with the others who survived or escaped from Iacon, which has become second place on the Top Scariest Places On Cybertron list, underneath Kaon. As Ariel looks at the number of refugees, she can only think that things will get worse if the Fallen's rule continues. Then that's when she comes with the decision that will alter the course of history of Cybertron forever. She walked up to a higher platform in front of all the refugees of Iacon.
Ariel: Refugees. Innocent families of Iacon. (everyone looks up to her) We cannot let the Fallen rule Cybertron like this. We have to stand up to him.
Brawn: But how? We're not strong enough.
Tracks: Says you, Brawn. You could hold up a city if you wanted to.
Huffer: But Brawn has a point.
Perceptor: Yeah, Ariel. How can we stand up to a Prime, and his Prime Slayer known as Megatron?
Mirage: It's like he said. We're not strong enough.
Hound: I'm with the kid. We're just workers. We're not soldiers.
Ariel: I know things look bleak right now, but a good friend of mine didn't care if he was weak or strong. Soldier or not. You all saw him standing up to Megatron to save those innocent people he was wrongfully going to kill!!!
Wheeljack: And eventually died.
Ariel looked down, for she knew that Orion was gone. But that didn't stop her spirit.
Ariel: Then we'll have one thing he didn't get . . . help.
Sideswipe: Where?
Dion: Gygax. They have enough wrestlers, brawlers, warriors, and even soldiers to make half of an armada. We'll have them help us.
Ariel: Dion's right. We can stand up to the Fallen, and Megatron, and those Decepticons. But we have to do it . . . as one. Together, there's nothing that can stop us from saving those we can still save, avenging those we couldn't, and taking back Cybertron! Who's with me?
There was a long pause. Even Dion and the sparklings were doubtful. Ariel sighed in defeat until she saw a hand raise up. It was a female medic called Medix.
Medix: I'm in.
Ariel was in surprise and in joy that at least someone supports her. Then there was another. It was Kup, the oldest teen in the group. If he was human, he'd be 19. He's a couple cycles older than Orion Pax.
Kup: Me too! I want to give those Decepticons a piece of my mind!
Then there was more.
Brawn: I'm joining!
Gears: Same here!
Grapple and Hoist: Us too!
Wheeljack: I don;t know how much I could do, but I'll be glad to help.
Warpath: Let me at 'em! Kapow!! Bam!! Boom!!!
Ariel: Love the enthusiasm, Warpath!
Sideswipe and Suntreaker: Don't forget us!!
Mirage: I can't be left out on this sort of thing!
Huffer: (gulps) Yes, I guess?
Windcharger: Count me in, too!
Various others: We're in! You can count on us!! We won't let you down!
