When the meeting finally ended, Crux showed Optimus his swords. The Prime was proud. Not much happened over the next few days. More training and bots recovering from the battle. Jolt was pretty much better except that his spark was damaged from the lightning. He still had his limp, though Crux could see it more when the mech walked around.

Crux spent the next deca-cycles (years) training with Optimus and Prowl.

Soon, the mech had grown to his full size. Bigger than Bumblebee, but smaller than Optimus. But, today was a special day. The day Crux was to become a Prime. He and Optimus were getting ready to leave the base for a few joors. He looked at his sire.

"Ready?" Crux asked.

The Prime nodded. "Let's go."

They were going to the center of the planet to have him become a Prime. Primus was Cybertron after all. They went to a room deep within the base. There was a hole in the floor leading to their destination.

"You first." Optimus told Crux.

He nodded. "Alright then."

Crux jumped down into the hole. He fell and fell. He heard Optimus falling above him. Right before they reached the bottom, both mechs grabbed a side of the tunnel. Then they dropped down the last few feet. They walked into a clearing. There was a spark just sitting there. Primus.

Crux looked at Optimus.

The Prime just nodded for him to walk up to the spark of the first Prime.

Crux did.

A voice spoke. The voice of Primus. "Son of Optimus Prime, you are here to become a Prime, is that correct?"

"Yes." Crux answered.

"Then, by the power of a Prime, I grant you the title of Prime. Use it well."

"I will, Primus." I obediently bowed. Then I rose to my feet. "I give you all of my thanks and promise to do the best I can for the Autobots of Cybertron."

"And so you will, so you will." Primus gave his final words.

Crux Prime turned and walked towards Optimus Prime. Optimus nodded as if to say let's go.

Crux nodded back. Getting up was going to be a pain. It took the two Primes a few joors, but they eventually reached the top of the hole. Later, it was announced to the rest of the Autobots. There was another Prime.

Crux Prime.

*X* -Battle of Chicago-

Crux Prime was with the Autobots when they splashed back into the ocean. He was there when they went to Chicago to fight. He was as wise and powerful as his sire (father), Optimus Prime. But, he wasn't as fast at dodging.

He was in the middle of fighting Skywarp, a sibling of Starscream. He took a shot to the chest. "Oooof." He landed with a groan. Crux got up and opened his swords. He slashed the gun in half. When he went for the Con's chest, he felt another gun hit him from the side. He flew into a building. He got up, now facing two Decepticons. Thundercracker had joined Skywarp. Thundercracker was also his and Starscream's sibling.

Crux let out an annoyed noise.

"You're going down, Prime!" Shouted Thundercracker.

"Not today." He flew at Skyward and successfully stabbed through the Con's spark. Skywarp fell to the ground dead.

"No!" Screamed his brother. "You're going to pay for that one!"

The two bots charged at each other. They punched, kicked, and pounded on the other. Thundercracker aimed his gun. He took a shot. A shot that ended the life of a Prime. The shot that went through Crux's spark. The Prime fell to the ground with a cry of pain.

"That's for Skywarp." Spat Thundercracker. "He's been avenged now."

The Decepticon walked away as Crux's vision faded into darkness. The darkness that would last forever. The last thing he heard was Optimus shouting his name. Crux was dead.
