Somewhere in the Arctic, the Predacon remains frozen solid in ice as the sun rises. Then out of nowhere appear someone with hood and touches the ice, where the beast remains. Power cells in its body activate, causing the ice to start melting and then crack until the beast is able to break free completely. The small stranger glims on the beast and whispers to it.

"Take me to other," she says.

The creature roars and flies away.

Aboard the Nemesis, Starscream questions the wisdom of allowing Shockwave to create his cloned Predacon army in such confined quarters. Shockwave reveals that an off-site laboratory has been constructed for this purpose. The warship is rocked by a sudden impact, which turns out to be the Predacon landing on the upper hull. Megatron, Starscream, and Shockwave come out to see what it was.

"How did it find us?"

"Predacons possess precise homing instincts."

"And astonishing resilience."

"That's why it's the best choice to represent fire element, my lord." heard a female voice.

They all looked up and spot small hooded figure sitting on beast's head. The figure removed her hood revealing herself as FallStar.

"You? But didn't you said you'll be here in a week." Starscream said.

"I said 'about in a week' and I also hurried," FallStar said. "Then, of course, I spotted this adorable one's life signal and freed him from that freezing prison. Can I keep him?" she asked innocently.

"How dare you! That is not a pet. And most importantly it belongs to Lord Megatron." Starscream shouted.

"Well, someone is out of humor." FallStar mocked.

"I assume, you came here because of that another Star, my dear, " Megatron said.

"While I was on my way here, I started to have a strange feeling, as if something has awakened. So, I hurried here quickly as I could."

"You believe, this planet's elements have created something, that caused such a reaction."

"I'll need to study that. If it has something to do with that 'new Star', I need to know the reason." FallStar said and floated near Megatron. "And one more thing; Don't call me 'dear'. I'm not done with you." she growled at him. Many stood silent, on what was going to happen next, but Megatron simply looked at her. By all the cons, she has yelled and shouted at him, but he keeps his calm at her, unlike with anyone else. Many would think they have something going on between them.

"Starscream, assume command of my beast."

"Me, master? I-I mean, I wouldn't dream of seizing such an honor from its very creator."

"Military command of the Predacon is most logical since my services are required elsewhere."

"Have fun." FallStar mocked before they left Starscream with the creature.

In Scotland, the Iron Will lands on a bluff atop a suspected Decepticon excavation site. The Wreckers emerge, and Wheeljack immediately bolts forward and starts climbing down the cliff to investigate, much to Magnus's chagrin. Bulkhead tries to advise caution, but Wheeljack pays no heed. They spot a lone Vehicon emerging from a cave below, who Wheeljack dispatches with little difficulty. He looks back up to give Ultra Magnus a mocking salute when an entire squad of Vehicons emerges from the cave and attack. The three Autobots make short work of the Decepticons. After the battle, Wheeljack hears a knocking sound coming from inside his chest. Suddenly remembering he has a passenger, he lets Miko out, and she begins gasping for air.

Back at the Nemesis, Starscream tries unsuccessfully to get the Predacon into a cage. He prompts the beast with an Energon prod, and the Predacon responds with a blast of flame from its mouth that singes Starscream's crest.

Ultra Magnus demands to know why a human was brought on the mission. Wheeljack cites Miko's accomplishments and states that she's an official Wrecker as far as he's concerned. Bulkhead tries to defuse the situation by turning Magnus's attention to the now-unguarded cave entrance.

Now having donned the indestructible Apex Armor, Starscream tries again to make the Predacon heed his commands. The dragon grasps Starscream's arm in its jaws and shakes him around like a rag doll for a bit before flinging him the length of the room. The "training" is interrupted by Megatron, who orders Starscream to take the Predacon and see why one of the excavation teams has failed to report in.

While the Wreckers explore the cave, Bulkhead tries to keep everyone's spirits up, but Wheeljack, chafing under Ultra Magnus's leadership, is having none of it. He tells Bulkhead he was smart to leave the Wreckers when he did, "before the rust set in". Confused, Miko says she thought Wheeljack was the one who left the Wreckers. Bulkhead says he left first, to join up with Optimus Prime, and thinks a part of Wheeljack resents him for it. Miko says that you never want to be the one who breaks up the band.

The rock walls suddenly start to shake as the Predacon bursts in, prompting the Autobots to transform and drive deeper into the cave. The Predacon pursues, firing blasts of flame from his mouth until he encounters a passage too narrow to get through. The Autobots are now trapped in a small enclosure and unable to get a comm link signal so far underground. Bulkhead notices a small opening in the rock above them and tells Miko to climb up the cave wall to freedom. She's reluctant to leave them until Ultra Magnus tasks her with the mission of reaching the ship, Iron Will and contacting Optimus Prime. The Autobots draw their weapons and prepare for the Predacon to inevitably break through to their location.

Miko makes it to the surface and rushes over to the Iron Will, only to find that Starscream and a couple of Vehicons have gotten there first. Starscream brags to his soldiers about how he tamed the Predacon, which is stifled by one of the Vehicons pointing out that he's still wearing the Apex Armor protect himself from it. Buying into his own press, Starscream retracts the armor and lays the condensed relic on a rock.

The Predacon finally makes it through to the Wreckers' location and attacks. Ultra Magnus lands a few powerful hits with the depowered Forge of Solus Prime, but the Predacon takes him and Bulkhead out with a wave of its tail. Wheeljack waits for the Predacon to attempt another flame blast and tosses a grenade at the beast's open mouth, but the Predacon bats it away with its tail. The explosive device hits the ground and rolls to a rest mere feet from Bulkhead and Ultra Magnus.

Topside, Starscream, and the Vehicons are startled by the explosion, which rips a hole in the ground in front of them. While they investigate, Miko makes a run for the Iron Will but does not escape Starscream's notice.

In the cave, the Predacon bursts free from the rubble caused by the explosion, none the worse for wear. It notices a Predacon fossil lying on the ground, and seeing it brings back a memory of another time and place...

Starscream swipes at Miko, but she's able to avoid him long enough to reach the Apex Armor. Landing on the relic triggers it, and a smaller version of the armor envelops Miko. Before she can put it to use, the Predacon appears, dropping the fossil at Starscream's feet. Miko attempts to flee, but the Predacon pounces on her.

The Autobots emerge from the rubble below, and Ultra Magnus takes Wheeljack to task for deploying a grenade in an enclosed space. Bulkhead, more concerned with Miko's safety than continuing to play peacemaker, rushes out of the cave to find her.

Starscream watches with amusement as the Predacon hammers Miko and the armor with blasts of flame. Megatron contacts Starscream, who gleefully provides a status report. Megatron orders the immediate return of the beast and the Predacon fossil and tells Starscream he can stay behind to finish the Autobots. Starscream briefly wonders how he'll get the Predacon to follow this order, but the Predacon answers the question by knocking him down, grabbing the fossil in its teeth, and flying away. Indignant, Starscream walks over to the scorched crater where Miko lies to retrieve his armor. But Miko springs to life and tosses Starscream away with ease. Miko continues pounding the Decepticons as the Autobots rush onto the scene. Ultra Magnus admits that Wheeljack may have been right about her. Seeing the odds are only getting worse, Starscream orders the Vehicons to retreat, and the three of them transform and fly away. Wheeljack commends Miko and says he wants to remember the Wreckers just as they are right now, "before the rust sets in" once again. With that, he transforms and drives away. Bulkhead sadly notes that Wheeljack just broke up the band.

While they felt bad about it, they suddenly heard a strange sound.

"What is that?" Bulkhead wondered.

"Probably another Decepticon trick. Be ready." Ultra Magnus said and took hold on Forge of Solus Prime.

"It sounds like... humming. Do cons hum?" Miko wondered.

All three tried to listen. Yes, it sounds like humming, but by who. They started to follow quietly where it comes from. They followed to the shores of the lake. It was so foggy, that there won't need to worry about if humans saw them. Near the lake, the fog clears bit revealing someone sitting on the rocks. They could now see that it was female and it looks like to be human.

Suddenly she turns around and noticed them. In this Ultra Magnus and Bulkhead stood there without moving. Miko tried to get close to explain some cover story but then notice something. That wasn't an ordinary human, she is a mermaid.

"Hello. I was expecting someone to come." the mermaid said calmly.

"Wait a minute...PeaceStar?" Bulkhead wondered and got closer.

"What? But didn't she died?" Miko asked.

"Yes, she did." mermaid explained. "But before she died, she allowed me to take this new form, to keep my existence as secret," Mermaid explained.

"So, you're the Predacon element." Ultra Magnus said. Mermaid nodded for that.

"I usually show up at night in my beast form. But to find Star Supreme, I needed a different form to hide." mermaid explained.

"Good. Um... We came to tell you that reach is over. There is Star Supreme choose and she likes to meet you." Miko tried to say.

"Already? Hmm...maybe she was right." Mermaid said while thought while.

"She?"

"PeaceStar." Mermaid explained. "before she passed away. She came to see one time and told about a girl, who she believes to become next Star Supreme."

"That her alright," Bulkhead said.

"So, will you come with us?" Miko asked.

"I guess I should," Mermaid said before picking something. It looked like a pearl necklace with shell in middle. She holds it up waiting for someone to take it.

Miko placed her hand on it and once the shell rested on her hands, mermaid started to turn into water and moved into the necklace.

"Wow..."

Once mermaid had disappeared into the necklace, the fog cleared the view.

"Looks like we did get something else then fossil," Miko said. Bulkhead agreed on that and surprisingly so did Ultra Magnus.
