As a disciple of Solus Prime, Victorion claims the Matrix belongs to her. The name of thirteenth and final member of the group, she says, is unknown, a 'bot referred to only as ' The Arisen' the Mistress of Flame professed to know who The Arisen was, and it was this sacrilegious claim that drove the Torchbearers to remove themselves from her command. Victorion scoffs at the fact that the holder of the holiest item on Cybertron does not believe in it, and spins a tale of the thirteen Primes. At the combiner's request, Optimus recounts the supposed history of the Matrix of Leadership-from its legendary origins as the crystal prison of Solomus, to its time in the hands of the Knights of Cybertron, to forging of the Star Saber around it by Solus Prime-but stresses that he does not believe any of it, considering the talisman to be a piece of technology, not magic. After a brief scuffle, however, Prime realizes that the Torchbearers are not trying to kill him instead, they then combine into Victorion, who immobilizes Prime with her gravity-control powers. Optimus, for his part, is curious as to why the Torchbearers have left their planet and the Mistress of Flame behind, but when they question his right to even ask such a question, a fight breaks out between Prime and the six-strong team. Emerging from the cave in which the singularity rests, they are confronted by the Torchbearers, who, unlike most Camiens, actually seem affronted by Optimus's claim to the Prime title.

On Earth, Blackrock regales Spike with a story of his youth, sounding nuttier by the second as he claims that a 'black angel' visited him as a child and set him on his current path. Soundwave insists that the Decepticons are not the guilty party, but that they would be foolish not to seize an opportunity placed before them.

He assures Cosmos that the Decepticons are not responsible for the attack on the Ark-7, but Cosmos is given cause to think he is lying when Galvatron contacts the commune with orders to prepare to take the Ark and its space bridge. Soundwave welcomes Cosmos aboard the Jupiter commune, but can do little to comfort the distraught Autobot, since even his super-senses prove unable to detect any trace of the lost Autobots.
