The Decepticon Matrix
The Autobot Matrix of leadership. The wisdom of Cybertron contained within a single object. It is passed down from Prime to Prime. It is the only thing that is able to defeat Unicron, god of chaos. It is an absolute good. Every Cybertronian knows the story.
However, not many know the story of the Failed Matrix...The Decepticon Matrix.
It was an attempt to make a backup Matrix, in case Unicron somehow destroyed it. While forging it, Dark Energon, the blood of Unicron, seeped into the casing, corrupting it. It was the exact opposite of the Matrix of Leadership. When news of the abomination reached the Autobot high council, they took action. They knew the corruption would make it indestructible, so they tossed in into space, hoping never to see it again. They had no such luck...
"We've been flying for ages!" Blast Off complained. His companion, Cyclonus didn't say anything. Blast Off made an annoyed grunt, and asked the huge space cruiser "Where the hell is this 'Evil Matrix' anyways?"
"No one knows" Cyclonus answered, "Its been lost for millennium"
"Well, crap. So why are we headed for this Primus-forsaken rock, anyways?" Cyclonus came to a sudden halt. "Whaagh!" Blast Off fired his reverse thrusters, and drifted over next to the warrior. "Whats wrong?"
"Look." Cyclonus pointed over to an asteroid, which had a glowing purple spike wedged into it's side.
"What is that?" Blast Off wondered.
"It seems we don't have to go all the way to Syglo Gamma..." Cyclonus muttered. "Galvatron, this is Cyclonus. I believe we have a lead..."
To be continued...
