Sideswipe, after discovering him in the middle of Mission City, is doing his best to repair Ratchet. However, what Sideswipe cannot repair, is the empty hole left in Ratchet's arm after the loss of his EMP blaster. However, Sideswipe tells him not to worry about it, as NEST has plenty of new weapons, including some pistols that Sideswipe picked up after he lost his swords.

Meanwhile, Lockdown has managed to break into NEST command, and get inside undetected. He takes Sideswipe by surprise while he's training, and loses the EMP blaster after Sideswipe shoots him. Just as he goes to grab it, Ratchet manages to pick it up, and blast him back. At this point, Lockdown retreats. Sideswipe wants to go after him, but Ratchet states that there's no need, as Lockdown is headed right for the medical bay.

Lockdown runs into a dark room, and is grabbed, thrust onto a table, and put into stasis by the medical lab's tools. Ratchet and Sideswipe then enter, and have plans for Lockdown...
