| - Oil pipelines in Crooked Creek, Alaska; naval defences in San Diego, California; supply convoys in Shreveport, Louisiana — anywhere America tries to rebuild, the Decepticons attack and destroy! The Autobots are completely overstretched. Ratchet knows they need reinforcements and so, after much deliberation, decides to use his All Spark fragment to bring Jazz back to life! Six days later, Optimus Prime and a human team including Tom Banachek and President Allen arrive in Okeechobee, Florida; the ground is seething with and spewing out raw energon! Optimus reveals that while the Autobots destroyed the All Spark, the conversion of Earth into a new Cybertron was too far underway and the planet has been fundamentally damaged as a result. Chaos is occuring across the planet, and while Evac and his team are en route from Cybertron, all that can be done now is limit the damage and cover up the approaching apocalypse to prevent humanity's morale giving out entirely. Of course, to Starscream, all this means is there's a place in America spewing out enough energon to power an invasion fleet, and he wants it... Back in Savannah, Jazz is back and feeling confident — much to Optimus' confusion and annoyance at Ratchet. Making the most of it, he dispatches the two of them to secure and monitor Okeechobee. Jazz happily speeds off, while Optimus reminds Ratchet that Megatron had corrupted the All Spark and this may not be the Jazz they knew. Jazz, for his part, doesn't remember being dead and states the only thing that concerns him about his death is living each day like it was his last. Shockingly for a story called Dark Spark, it turns out Jazz actually has been corrupted — he paralyses Ratchet's main axis cog with an inhibitor clamp, and organises a tele-conference with various aliens to sell off Earth and its lucrative raw energon! The Decepticons, however, don't want to share and Dreadwing and a drone launch an attack, ignoring Jazz's attempts at making a deal. Ratchet suddenly comes back to life — he always has spare parts inside him and easily replaced the axis cog - and ends the conflict by destroying the energon field. Unfortunately, Jazz has fled, and the medic breaks down as he realises what he's unleashed...
