As the two forces began engaging each other over the fleet, Laserbeak had found himself caught in the middle. Humans from below, unknown alien species from above, It took quite a bit of dodging to escape, and he even shot down a couple on each side as they got too close for comfort. He found salvation by flying south.

Megatron had decided to use the Nemesis for their greeting. After all, it was a great symbol of Decepticon strength. Filled to the brim with Vehicon soldiers, covered in defensive auto-turrets. It's shielding allowed it to become near undetectable by most conventional means. Heck, it even had it's own insecticon hive within it. It had served as the primary Decepticon base during the majority of their battles with the Autobots on Earth, until the Darkmount fortress was created. Being two and a half miles long, it was truly a massive ship. Now the crew was scrambling about, trying to do the last minute checkups and inspect for any weaknesses in their defenses before they set off.
