On Cybertron, reconstruction was underway. Every bot was working hard to rebuild Kaon. Ultra Magnus, the leader, was watching the construction. Metal rods and sheet metal was picked up by heavy machinery and lowered into the correct position. The occasional order from Bulkhead, leader of the construction, rang out. Everyone seemed content and relaxed; everyone, except Ultra Magnus. His mind raced with questions. How could he do this alone?
Suddenly, a large ship shot across the sky. It landed outside the walls of Kaon.
"Intelligence Officer Bumblebee to Commander Ultra Magnus, did you see that ship land?" Bumblebee asked Ultra Magnus over his commlink.
"I did. I'm going to investigate," Ultra Magnus replied.
"Alright, but be careful,"
Ultra Magnus transformed and headed towards the landing site.
When Ultra Magnus got there, he discovered that the ship was a one-bot Autobot ship. Ultra Magnus searched the ship for the pilot or for any information on whom the pilot was. Behind him, he heard a blaster cock. Ultra Magnus slowly turned around and saw a blaster aimed at his head. Behind the blaster, was a femme Autobot with pastel pink bands around her white arms, legs, and torso. She was almost as tall as Ultra Magnus and wore a mask that covered her entire face except her optics.
"Put your servos up!" the femme said menacingly.
Ultra Magnus did as she said and put his servos up.
"State your name and business," the femme ordered.
Ultra Magnus stated, "My name is Commander Ultra Magnus and I…"
"Wait a minute, Ultra Magnus?" The femme quickly retracted her mask revealing a beautiful Cybertronian face.
"Commander Elita One,"
"It's been awhile. So tell me, you still leading those Wreckers?"
"Yes, well. The war's over and…,"
"I know it is. I heard radio chatter about it. And I also heard about Optimus,"
"I'm sorry. I know you two had a history,"
"Well anyway. I decided to come back to help rebuild,"
"Great. I'll take you back to Kaon,"
"Kaon? Wasn't that the Decepticon capital?"
"Not anymore,"
Ultra Magnus started to walk back to Kaon. But first, Elita One grabbed a thumb drive out of her ship's console and hid it behind her back. Then she followed Ultra Magnus back.
Ultra Magnus and Elita One were halfway back to Kaon when they felt like they were being watched. They paused for a moment. Shadows darted from left to right from all directions. Suddenly, three disgusting looking robots made out of different parts of different bots appeared. On top of a nearby building, a larger robot in a tattered cape and two red optics with one larger than the other. He was the obvious leader.
Elita retracted her detached swords made out of pure red energon from her arms. Ultra Magnus took a step back.
"Autobots prepare to meet your doom!" the leader shouted.
"Who are you?" Elita yelled back.
"I am Metatron. And these are my soldiers. We are the Bionics, destroyers of Autobots,"
"Yeah right. Come on Magnus, let's take them down,"
Ultra Magnus hesitated. Elita looked at him.
"Magnus?" Elita asked.
"Elita, I'm not armed," Ultra Magnus said.
"What?"
Metatron laughed and the Bionic foot soldiers attacked. Two soldiers attacked Elita while the other lunged at Magnus. Magnus dodged the attacks while Elita fought on. One soldier's stray blaster shot hit Elita in the arm. Elita winced in pain.
"My soldiers have tasted Autobot energon. You have been warned," Metatron said and laughed as he and the soldiers retreated.
Elita held her arm and turned around to face Ultra Magnus. She gasped in horror. While Elita was fighting, the soldier Magnus was fighting must have gained the upper hand. Ultra Magnus laid leaking energon, severely wounded on the ground. Elita rushed over to Magnus. The worst scenario flooded her mind. That Magnus was offline.
Later, Elita One was sitting in the hospital's waiting room. Ratchet had come to Cybertron to help Ultra Magnus. He came out of Magnus' room and sighed. Elita stood up.
"How is he?" Elita asked.
"The outcome looks bleak. However, if someone related to him gave him some of their energon, he may pull through," Ratchet answered.
"Magnus doesn't have any family,"
Ratchet looked at Elita's bandaged arm.
"Did you get that today?" he questioned Elita.
"Yeah," Elita One replied.
"Did you get energon work?"
"Yeah,"
"Come with me,"
Ratchet grabbed Elita's hand and led her to a computer containing her medical information. He looked up Elita's energon results and C-N-A sample. His optics widened.
"What is it?" Elita One asked.
"Elita, Ultra Magnus's C-N-A results and yours are identical," Ratchet answered with disbelief.
"What are you saying?"
"Ultra Magnus is your brother. Your twin brother,"
Elita One's mouth dropped and her optics bulged.
"Elita, you have to give energon," Ratchet said.
Elita nodded still in shock. Ratchet grabbed her arm once again and led her away.
Elita was once again in the waiting room. Her right arm hurt because of her wound and her left hurt because she had donated some of her energon to Ultra Magnus.
Ratchet came out once again. This time his expression was less grim and more cheerful.
"I believe that Magnus will pull through," Ratchet said, "But don't get your hopes up. I've been wrong before."
Ratchet left and Elita went over to the door. Elita One opened the door slightly and was shocked. Magnus looked horrible. Tubes stuck out of him and he was hooked up to machines. Elita found the sight disgusting. And she left with tears rolling down her cheeks.
Cybertron still had one leader.
