Summary[]
The Mysticons head to Emerald's dwarven mining hometown to visit her family, just as it is attacked by Dreadbane and his Skeletons who have their sights on a rare mineral called "soloarite." General Dreadbane abducts Emerald's stoic father Malachite to force him to reveal the Heart of Gold's location.
