There was a strong sense of foreboding as the group returned to Liege Maximo's flagship. Nightmare scenarios of his potential plans running through their minds along with the realization they may have no choice but to help him enact them in the short term. As they re-boarded the ship they were greeted by something... unexpected.

"Why are the alarms going..." Brainwave began to question. "Alert, prisoner escape!" Blared the ships internal security systems. "Oh... Just what I wanted. Dealing with Sideways again."

"Why are you surprised? We didn't get to totally flatten Shanghai to stop him. Almost as if it was too easy." Megatron countered.

"You know Megatron, I had hoped the hole in the moon more than made up for that. Clearly I expected too much."
