A short time later, the memorial crater was badly damaged by the Ascenticons destroying a base they'd secretely maintained underneath it. As Cyclonus took in the damage, Highfire noted he was angry. Discussion turned to Cyclonus's own mental health, and Highfire suggested bringing in Paragon, citing Froid's argument that the pain would dissolve Cyclonus's anger and guilt, a stance Provoke's ghost disagreed with. The discussion was interrupted by Hot Spot getting Cyc's attention, and revealing Sixshot was the presumed culprit.The Change In Your Nature Part FiveLooking to find Chromia so he could find Sixshot, Cyclonus went to Iacon.

Several cycles afterwards, Cyclonus learned the real Provoke had been found alive and supposedly well beneath the remains of the memorial crater, utterly destroyed in the Decepticon uprising. He went to see her, but the revived Provoke coldly brushed him off. While Gridlock's ghost was simply happy to have the hallucinatory version of their dead comrade gone, Highfire was uncertain, finding something decidedly unhealthy about the whole affair.Lord of Misrule: Enigmatic
