Planet Micro is under attack by some Destrons. The planet is in the sector guarded by God Ginrai and his troops, however, they are unable to help. A group of Destrons led by Overlord are fighting in G Nebula 89, and God Ginrai and the others are fighting with them.



So instead, Star Saber, Galaxy Shuttle, Jean and the Rescue Team all head towards the planet. Micro is actually the Micromaster's home planet and it's been a long time since any of them have been there. Holi tells him team to stop being so excited, as they should be upset that their homeworld is being attacked by the Destrons. The Rescue Team think Holi is getting anxious because his girlfriend is on this planet!



Jean is shocked that Holi somehow has a girlfriend, and the rest of the Rescue Team continue to poke fun at their leader, despite his objections. Jean thinks things are getting interesting and he hopes they land soon. Star Saber contacts him and says they land in three minutes. The two ships approach a landing site.



As they land, they are seen by another robot. The group head inside a building, where they meet Riker, a governor. He explains that there have been no recent additional attacks. The group head inside a room, and contact God Ginrai. God Ginrai says he's in the middle of an intense battle right now, but is glad to see that they all look alright. Star Saber says that they will handle things here on Micro. God Ginrai says that Overlord's troops are persistent, and he'll talk to Star Saber again later. He then ends the call and charges into battle.



Heading outside, Star Saber says he'll go and try to find out what the Destrons are doing on Micro, and where they are now. He lets the Rescue Team go off as they please for a while. Holi shows Jean the team's training room, but talk soon turns to his girlfriend. The group head down an escalator, and Jean learns that Holi's girlfriend is an operator for the Governor.



Clipper, Holi's girlfriend, then appears. She says he got Holi's message about him returning, but she has no time for him at the moment, and his message was too sudden! She's got a meeting to attend, and will have to meet Holi's friends later. She goes into a room and the door shuts, and Holi is surprised at how stuck up she's being, whilst his team just laugh at him.



Star Saber and Riker arrive at one of the attacked areas, and see that everything has been destroyed. The Destrons have been stealing energy, and once they have what they've came for, Riker says that just obliterate the area. The two have a look at other areas, as Riker explains that the attacks seem to be at completely random locations across the planet. There are reports that there are three Destrons involved.



Later on that night, Hellbat leads two other Destrons towards a generator, where they will take plasma energy from. One of the other Destrons says that the destruction they are about to cause will be a nice way of working of dinner. The two then transform.



BLACK SHADOW



BLUE BACCHUS



Black Shadow and Blue Bacchus start causing as much destruction as possible, sending some Micromasters fleeing. They tell Hellbat he's pretty ambitious, but he maintains that the more gifts he brings back to his leader, the more his stock rises. Blue Bacchus wants a nice bonus for this!



Meanwhile, the Cybertrons are at Clipper's place, when Riker contacts them and explains that the Destrons are attacking the plasma energy generator -a generator which provides one third of the planet's energy. Star Saber says they'll move out, and as they team leave, Clipper tells Holi to be careful out there. The Rescue Team head towards the generator.



They are about to transform when someone calls out to them to wait. A jet has appeared above them, which transforms into a robot:



GREATSHOT



Greatshot tells the Cybertrons that it is his duty to fight the Destrons, and that they didn't need to come here. He doesn't have the time to go into any more detail, and instead transforms back to his jet mode and blasts off.



Star Saber flies after Greatshot and learns more about these new Destrons, who are apparently backstabbing mercenaries who will take any job for the right price. Star Saber soon finds Hellbat but can't shoot at him, as if he hits the plasma energy generator he'll blow them both up. Meanwhile Greatshot finds Black Shadow and Blue Bacchus, and says that he'll never work with them again. Getting betrayed once by them was one time too many.



He transforms into his car mode and starts firing. Nearby, the Rescue Team help the local population get to safety by having them shipped out in the V-Star. Back at the Generator, Black Shadow and Blue Bacchus transform to their vehicle modes and start firing at Greatshot, who has transformed to his car mode.



He transforms again to his winged rhino mode, and takes a bite out of Blue Bacchus. The two Crossformers transform back to their robot modes and strike Greatshot down. They tell him that it is a pity they can't work with him any more, but his luck ran out when he joined the Cybertrons.



Using a teleportation technique, Greatshot warps behind the two and uses his sword to break their guns. Nearby, Hellbat also loses his weapon, but then decides to blow up the plasma energy generator anyway and make off with the energon he's collected. He shoots out some of the connecting pipes...



...which explode and will soon lead to the main generator exploding. He then tells Black Shadow and Blue Bacchus to pull out. Greatshot is still fighting with them, and slashes at them with his sword.



He badly damages both of them, causing their larder robot shells to crack open and explode. The two live on by using their smaller modes to escape. As they head off into space, Hellbat follows them, but tells Star Saber to do a good job putting out that fire.



Greatshot shoots at him, causing his plasma energy canister to explode. Star Saber tells Greatshot to never mind the Destrons, and instead concentrate on trying to stomp this fire out. The V-Star then returns, so Star Saber merges with it to transform into his larger robot mode. With little time left, he knows that if the generator explodes, it will cause massive amounts of damage to Micro.



He uses his sword to cut the generator at the base and then, using all of his strength, he picks it up and starts to fly upwards.



Everyone else watches at Star Saber seemingly heads into space with the generator...which the explodes! After a few tense moments, Star Saber returns, and is alright.



The next morning Greatshot bids farewell for now to Star Saber and flies away in his jet mode. Clipper asks Holi when he'll next be back on Micro and that the next time they meet he'll have to tell her everything about Earth and other stuff. Holi gets embarrassed and Jean starts to rub it in, leading Holi to start laughing at him, much to the amusement of everyone else.
