[Time Skip]
Stormrunner stood at a monitor, checking the logs as her leader's cackling pierced her audio receptors. "You should've seen Optimus's face," he said, talking to Soundwave as the silent bot decoded the database. "When his Star Saber shattered into bits! And with it his dreams of an Autobot victory. Granted, he'll be more determined than ever to discover the locations of the remaining Iacon relics before us."
As if on cue, a set of coordinates popped up on the screen.
"Ah, excellent," Megatron acknowledged. "You've decoded the next set of coordinates."
"Way to step things up, Soundwave," Knockout said as he walked towards them. "I sure hope that this relic is something less sacred and more profane. Such as an electro-disruptor cannon. We could use one."
Stormrunner rolled her optics at his comment, finishing her task before turning to look at them. 
"Indeed," Megatron replied. "Dreadwing!" He said into the comlink. "Report to the bridge immediately!"
"Please, my lord. Allow me the honor of retrieving this relic for you." Knockout put a servo over his spark.
"I'm surprised you'd risk your finish," Megatron said in a mocking tone. "So soon after your little accident." 
Knockout grimaced at that. "Nonetheless," their leader continued. "I am not convinced that you are the best choice for the task, since you failed to get the phase shifter."
"I merely lacked the proper tools," the flashy Decepticon said. "But since Soundwave is currently occupied I can't imagine he'd mind if I borrowed this," He held up the Resonance Blaster. "So that I might better secure your prize and heap some hurt on the Autobots."
Megatron still looked unconvinced but nodded. "Very well. But, Stormruner will occupy you to make sure you don't fail me once again, even with the Resonance Blaster."
Knockout looked like he wanted to argue, but Stormrunner bowed her helm as Soundwave opened up a ground bridge for them.

The two arrived at the coordinates, spotting a large vase laying on the ground. 
Knockout went over and opened it, seeing a large key-like object in it. "What is it?" Stormrunner asked.
He took it out of the vase and brought it closer. "No clue."
"Well, whatever it is, we should head back. We can't afford to lose it to the Autobots."
The medic grinned. "Why would we do that, when we have the perfect thing to lure the Autobots into a trap."
Stormrunner mentally facepalmed. "I don't care. Megatron with crave out our sparks if we lose it."
