Seems the kids can't stay out of danger even when they move away from it.

Synopsis
Rad suggests to Optimus Prime that he, Carlos, and Alexis explore the caves near the Autobot base in the hopes of potentially finding any other Mini-Con crystals that might still be near the ship.
The trio find one of the few caves that Rad and Carlos had not yet already cleared, and sure enough find a crystal in the back of it.
Before they have a chance to leave, the Decepticons launch an attack. The battle causes a landslide that threatens to bury the kids, only for Hot Shot to save the day by putting himself in harm's way for their sake. Not only do the kids survive, they succeed in hanging onto the crystal.

Notes
Continuity notes
- While the kids ultimately risk their lives yet again to recover the crystal in question, the story ends before they actually activate it. No mention of this Mini-Con is made in the other book, "Race to Disaster", perhaps to maintain continuity. Or perhaps because the author didn't want to go to the hassle of coming up with one. Your call.
Trivia
- Unlike other depictions of them in fiction, Rad and Carlos are shown as taking reasonable precautions and obtaining Optimus's permission before embarking on their latest scheme, even going so far as to tie off a rope to a rock near the entrance of the cave so that they can get back out in an emergency.
- Relating to the above, Alexis uncharacteristically follows their lead without any questions or complaints. Total 180 from how all three characters normally are.
