Thunder would draw one of his blades, supercharging it with energy drawn from his bright spark. With a swift slash, he cut through the smoke.
"Smoke and Mirrors trick is done now. And this rock--" Thunder called out, grabbing the gem, "--Is all mine!"
Thunder would jump back, with a sword in his left hand and the rock in his right hand.
"Okay, I got it." He whispered to the ghost, "Now what?"

The phantom watches with delight.
As the smoke clears the Illusionist stumbles back clutching his arm. There is a very deep cut in it, right down to the fuel lines. With his age, the fragility of his armor and the previous punishment he has taken, it's clear he needs a medic or else he's going to bleed to death. Energon drips to the ground as he stumbles back. His optics seem to be filled with horror as he sees Thunder with the rock.
Destroy it... The lab. There is a null wave generator. Only way to... Urgh
He falls to his knees, weak with energon loss. He's still alive weakly pleading with you to destroy it. He needs a medic.
The phantom starts to clap.
Bravo! You've got the thing! Now we just need the rest of it... And then the fun can begin. Don't listen to that old geezer. Trust me, once we get the rest of this... I promise you, we'll be playing kick the can with Tarn's head.

Thunder held the gem in his hand, both happy he had a victory, and cautious that the ghost was having so much fun with this. He pocketed the gem in a secure compartment in his upper chest and sheathed his sword.
"You'll bleed out, and I doubt they'll help you." Thunder spoke. He flinched a little as a few of his finger-tips would light up with bright blue energy on his right hand.
His left underarm autocannon still deployed. He kept it trained on him as he went to his arm. He began cauterizing the tubes closed so he wouldn't bleed out.
"Move and I'll shoot...okay?" He tried to sound threatening, but the young mech was still helping him. Thunder finished cauterizing his tubes and looked to him after standing up, "One more thing, what is this thing and why is it so dangerous. And I'm asking you, magician. Not anyone else." That last remark directed to the Phantom to keep its spectral mouth closed.

The Illusionist looks at Thunder. Upon closer inspection it's very clear he's been trapped on this dead planet for ages. He's very old. He looks up at Thunder as he sat on the ground.
You made a pact didn't you. Forces beyond normal understanding. Found it on another world... Said to hold power. It does... It once once good. But now... That power shouldn't be released...
The mech seems still be weaken by the fight.
He's watching us now. Isn't he...

"You mean the ghost?" Thunder looked back at the phantom, "Yeah...yeah." Thunder then got serious, "I need this power to stop an evil that plagued me from my world, and it even exists here." Thunder told the mech, "This ghost needs me for something, I need it. If I die...then so be it. As long as I can ensure that bastard never hurts another spark."

Your world...? So your... Well... In that case then...
The wounded Illusionist rises slowly to his feet.
The rest of the artifact is probably with my daughter. And she is probably with the idiot. Knowing those two, they held on to it to fill out their collection. Find the Faithless Looter. There your prize waits.
Vents on his feet open and a thick smoke appears around his feet. Slowly rising as he speaks.
But beware... The owner of that dread ship is a crafty one... And he is aided by one who's powers mine pale in comparison. They will not let you take it easily...

Thunder would nod, "I'll keep that in mind...weird magician dude." Thunder awkwardly said, "I mean, I helped beat Unicron so I doubt they'll be too much trouble!"

Unicron? Hah Ha Ha...
The old wizard gives a friendly chuckle.
Perhaps you're just crazy enough to fight them. Fair thee well...
The Illusionist disappears in a cloud of smoke.

"Sooo I'll deal with that later." Thunder rotated his shoulder joints, "First, gotta stop by Iacon and get some gear. Cloaking, signal and comm disrupters, gas and smoke bombs. Fun stuff needed for enemy front line stuff." Thunder would then postulate, "I should go ask rainbow finish about that stuff...or I could just steal it." He waved that away, "Nah, already on a fair amount of people's hit list."

"So you were working on reinforcing the building... Then you followed your blueprints until you found yourself in the ceiling without knowing it!?" Vatimus would be more than curious about this, if it weren't for the anime fight battle going on down below, it seemed to have ended and he got a report of what happened from a soldier down there. "Great, now I can enjoy trying to figure out what went wrong with these blueprints." As he said this, he glanced over to the monitor... There were a bunch of notifications from Wheelspin... Huh. Curious. He went over to start going through them. "What...? How? I'm looking away for MAYBE A FEW HOURS AND THIS HAPPENS!?" With that he rubbed his head, feeling his processor heat up. He slammed his fist down onto the table, leaving a dent. "Scrap..."With that, Wheelspin would finally get a response, :Fix this. Now, if you don't expect demotions.:WheelSpin The Inventor

Peering up from his halfhearted scan of the blueprints, his attention returned fully to Vatimus. "What went wrong with the- no no, sir, the engineers and I got this covered," he briefly interrupted, "I'm sure by the end of the day we'll have an accurate map of the base's infrastructure for everyone to use. Don't you worry about a thing." Vatimus was checking his comms, which- unlike Correlator's- seemed extremely busy. The life of a Prime, Correlator supposed. "Besides," he added, "it sounds like you've got plenty of issues to deal with already." The ruckus below them hadn't phased Correlator. Since it has died down and the floor still hadn't fallen out from under them, it was a safe assumption that either it wasn't too serious a brawl, or his chemical reinforcements were already doing their job.

Methuselah almost wanted to laugh. Correlator was such a puzzling character. Methuselah knew, however, he’d be a valuable asset he’d need to protect. As for Vatimus, the old mech hoped his commander realized that his self-punishment was not for his own sake, but as an example. If Methuselah took a slight failure seriously, it set an example in his reputation that everyone in the ranks should follow. Failure is not just failure, it is a shame to the leader if it was avoidable. The ranks became as one with such an attitude.

"I'm stopping by Iacon for some toys. Then we're gonna pay the Decepticons a stealthy visit." He would then let out an annoyed sigh, "Yes, then we'll collect the rest of the rock! But you want me to collect the thing that's gonna help you screw me over, you gotta help me not die in enemy territory."

Vatimus gave Correlator a kind nod, "Very well then, I am glad to see that some of my people are doing their jobs."Next, he saw Wheelspin's response and let out a groan, sending a quick response, :You are being demoted until you can either recover the deserter peacefully or you can work your way back up to a position.:After that, he got another call from another soldier, :Good job soldier! Get them locked up and fix yourself up. I have an idea for the prisoner in the near future!:That was so much of an improvement from before that he let out a sigh of relief. After that, he hoped Meth wouldn't harm himself too much more. He was a very hardworking mech, even with the language barrier. WheelSpin

"Aw, it's nothing. Almost literally. In fact," he began, "I've been meaning to ask you about a little something." By this time he'd noticed the height difference between himself and his audience. Vatimus and Methuselah were unbearably taller, so holding a conversation felt about as pointless as if he'd been shouting to them from the base of Shockwave's tower. As he spoke to them, the vertically challenged scientist fussed about the room. "I've been keeping busy. (I mean who hasn't? Look at this place. It needs the attention.) But fixing equipment from scouts and soldiers isn't exactly my speed, and while these little science pods have been a good placeholder for the time being, I feel like I should be getting back to work. Back to real work, that is. You know, in a lab with science-y things." By now he'd built himself a veritable tower out of crates, defunct control panels, and other bulky odds and ends left over from the tower's previous owner. He could talk at eye level comfortably with the pair perched from the top of his throne. Vatimus Prime , Methuselah

Methuselah placed a hand on Correlator’s shoulder. It was an unspoken sign of apology, and of pride in his work. The innovators were always of great importance to the war and peacetime efforts, and should be regarded with only the highest levels of respect. After that, he returned to his duty of guarding Vatimus, though he doubted he’d need to do much. It was boring today, and that was a good thing.

Vatimus watched a Correlator built himself small tower to stand eye level with the two massive mechs. It was rather funny, but of course, he had valuable information about his skillset. So Correlator needed some form of lab to get his entire work online. Yeah, he could sign off on it. Correlator was one of his rather good mechs anyways. "And just like that..." He clicked a few spots on his screen, and in Correlator's HUD, he could see that his request that he never put in appear, then suddenly get approved. Yes, Vatimus did in fact make a request under Correlator's name, then approved it. "Alright, now you have access to select a location within Iacon for your lab and you have been given what I think are the necessary resources to bring it online. Seeing as the Ark is landing soon-" As he said that, the ship flew overhead. "-I'm feeling a little generous.
He nodded to the respect that Methuselah was in his own way apologizing to Correlator.

Correlator seemed just slightly startled by Methuselah's reassuring gesture. It took considerable composure not to flinch and fall off the stack of crates. "O-oh, oh yeah, sure thing buddy. That's uh, that's real nice of you. Thanks," he said, not actually certain of the intent behind Methuselah's touch, but accepting it all the same. "Hey, you know I just remembered this universal translator I came up with a few years ago. I'll have to dig it out for you, Methuselah 'ol buddy. 'Course, it only knows how to translate "I surrender," but hey- it says it in over three-hundred languages." His eyes smiled after a quick wink at the old bot. "But, I don't suppose you'd appreciate a two-word Cybertronian vocabulary, huh?"
His attention snapped to Vatimus as he briskly got to work on approving all of the paperwork behind Correlator's proposal. Something to be said of the Prime; the scientist wouldn't have been so great with the somewhat mundane official side of things. He supposed that must have just come with the job of a Prime.
"Well sure, sir. That's mighty generous of you," he responded while looking outside as he felt a low rumble from the Ark passing overhead. "Things sure do seem to get done quickly around here," he remarked, "with the right people backing you."
