With the addition of the Apex Armour, the Autobots now felt like they can beat any Decepticon without any issue. However, Optimus advised not to overuse on the armour too much. So, Velma opted to utilise the armour in combat training, even fighting against Bulkhead, Bumblebee, or even Jazz in practice combat. To the surprise of her group, she's able to stand her ground.

At the same time, Indominus was starting to get used to being around the humans of Mystery Incorporated. At times, he listened to some of the adventures and the mysteries that they have gone through, which did get Indominus curious at these antics. Some of the stories were definitely worth listening to, making the techno-organic Predacon wondering what those criminals were even thinking of.

Mount St. Helens, an active stratovolcano located in Skamania County, Washington, in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. It lies 52 miles (83km) northeast of Portland, Oregon, and 98 miles (158km) south of Seattle. Mount St. Helens takes its English name from that of the British diplomat Lord St Helens, a friend of explorer George Vancouver who surveyed the area in the late 18th century. The volcano is part of the Cascade Volcanic Arc, a segment of the Pacific Ring of Fire.

The Mount St. Helens major eruption of May 18, 1980 remains the deadliest and most economically destructive volcanic event in U.S. history. 57 people were killed; 200 homes, 47 bridges, 15 miles (24km) of railways, and 185 miles (298km) of highway were destroyed. A massive debris avalanche, triggered by a magnitude 5.1 earthquake, caused a lateral eruption, reducing the elevation of the mountain's summit from 9,677ft (2,950m) to 8,363ft (2,549m), leaving a 1 mile (1.6km) wide horseshoe-shaped crater. The debris avalanche was 0.6 cubic miles (2.5 km3) in volume. The 1980 eruption disrupted terrestrial ecosystems near the volcano. By contrast, aquatic ecosystems in the area benefited from the amounts of ash, allowing life to multiply rapidly. Six years after the eruption, most lakes in the area had returned to their normal state. After its 1980 eruption, the volcano experienced continuous activity until 2008. Geologists predict that future eruptions will be more destructive, as the configuration of the lava domes requires more pressure to erupt. However, Mount St. Helens is a popular hiking spot and it is climbed year-round.

In the distance of the volcanic mountain, TurboRacer and Bumblebee were both driving around in search of a type of beacon that Ratchet had picked up on. But due to the ash from the volcano in the area, the scanners were unable to detect what this beacon could be.

"Anything yet?" Bumblebee beeped to TurboRacer.

"Not yet. My scanner is struggling to triangulate the beacon, no doubt because of the volcanic ash." TurboRacer answered to Bumblebee. "But if I'm to take a guess, we shouldn't be too far away from the beacon."

"TurboRacer. Bumblebee. What's your status?" Optimus' voice spoke up on the Comms.

"Optimus. We're still tracking the signal, but having some trouble triangulating it's exact location." The Triple-Changer Autobot answered. "The ash coming from the volcano here is interfering with my scanner."
