Chapter 7: The Geass Stones
Back on Cybertron, Optimus Prime and the others head to Vector Sigma to get answers about the stones that Starscream is looking for. They finally arrive.
Optimus Prime: We're here.
Hot Rod: ( as he gazes to Vector Sigma) Vector Sigma.
Spike: It's amazing. I've never seen it myself before.
Kup: So how are we going to activate it? We don't have the key anymore.
Optimus Prime: We don't need the key, there is another way.
Hot Rod: (looks at Optimus confused) What are you going to do?
Optimus Prime: You'll see.
Optimus Prime opens up his chest and takes the Matrix of Leadership out and fuses it with Vector Sigma. Prime's mind is then transferred inside while his body collapses and remains motionless.
Goldbug: What happened?
Hot Rod: Is he alright?
Ultra Magnus: He's fine, his mind is traveling inside Vector Sigma.
Kup: What?
Ultra Magnus: He's going to contact the spirit of Alpha Trion inside of Vector Sigma.
Optimus is now inside Vector Sigma and calls for Alpha Trion.
Optimus Prime: Alpha Trion. Where are you? I need your help.
Alpha Trion: I'm over here Prime. ( Optimus turns around and see's his old master once again) It's been a while.
Optimus Prime: It sure has. But I need your help. Starscream is back and he's looking for these magical stones. I need to know what they are.
Alpha Trion: Magical stones?
Optimus Prime: Yes, we have one that's red and shoots plasma lightinig and we spoke to Wreck Gar and he said he was paralyzed by a green stone.
Alpha Trion: This can't be.
Optimus Prime: This can't what be?
Alpha Trion: Prime, what you discovered are called Geass Stones.
Optimus Prime: Geass Stones?
Alpha Trion: Millions of years ago when the Quintossons ruled Cybertron, they created stones that had extrordinary powers. They mainly used them on us for slavery and later used them as weapons during the rebellion. Hundreds of our comrades were killed in that battle because of a huge advantage they had. However criminals all over tried to steal the stones and many almost got away with it. But even worse, some Quintessons tried to steal them for their own personal gain. They went mad with power and killed each other for it. They wanted to combine it's power into one, but in the result it destroyed them. Realizing that the stones corrupted their minds, Cyrax the Quintesson Elder came to the conclusion that the stones are too dangerous and had be disposed of. However, they were unable to destroy them with their own technology, so they scattered them all over the universe, burnt any notes about them and never to talked about them.
Optimus Prime: Starscream has learned about the Geass Stones and will most likely use them for his own goals.
Alpha Trion: Optimus, you musn't let him find them all. If he does, he'll become unstoppable.
Optimus Prime: How many Geass Stones are there?
Alpha Trion: There are five of them in total and they all have their own unique power. The red stone has the power to shoot plasma lightning. The green stone paralyzes nearby enemies. The blue stone can control people's mind and have them follow whatever their master tells them too. The yellow stone can create shadow clones. And the purple stone can turn the user invisible. But if they were combined, then the user would have phenomenal cosmic powers. Whether to destroy an entire planet with a snap of his finger, altering reality or laws of physics or even making a brand new universe. Even though many couldn't handle it's power, Starscream might be able to.
Optimus Prime: But how can I succeed? You said that they were indestructable.
Alpha Trion: That's not entirely true. The power of the Matrix is the only thing that can destroy them. Also the Matrix will protect you from the more physical and psycological effects. Stop Starscream Optimus Prime. Not only for the sake of the Transformers, but for the entire universe.
Optimus Prime: I will Alpha Trion and thank you for the information.
Alpha Trion: Farewell Optimus Prime and good luck.
The room flashes and Optimus returns to his body.
Hot Rod: Optimus, thank goodness your alright.
Optimus Prime: I'm alright. Sorry to worry you all.
Kup: So what did you find out?
Optimus Prime: A lot of things.
Optimus tells everyone of what he learned.
Hot Rod: Geass Stones?
Ultra Magnus: So that's what Starscream is up to.
Kup: So what do we do now?
Optimus Prime: Lets head back to the lab. We have to tell Perceptor this.
Optimus Prime and the others head back to the lab to check of Perceptor's progress.
Percepter: Optimus Prime have you figured anything about the stone?
Optimus Prime: I have Perceptor, they're called Geass Stones. They're magical stones that were made by the Quintessons.
Perceptor: Old Quintesson technology? It's no wonder I couldn't find any information about it.
Optimus Prime: But our main problem now is that Starscream is looking for them and we don't know where the other stones are.
Percepter: I thought you might try to look for them. That's why I took a small fragment of it and I'm currently making a radar to find the others.
Hot Rod: How long will it take?
Perceptor: Well, it will take some time, but I will get it done as quickly as possible.
Kup: So what now, do we just sit down and tell stories?
Hot Rod: That's something you would do.
Kup: What else can we do?
Ultra Magnus: But what I still don't get is how is it that Starscream's spark has not been extinguished? You don't just become a ghost after death.
Optimus Prime: It must be that the energy from Galvatron's blast mixed with Unicron's power must have mutated Starscream's spark. Allowing him to haunt us after death.
Hot Rod: You think that's it?
Optimus Prime: That's at least my theory.
Goldbug rushes in.
Goldbug: Optimus Prime! Something is heading towards Cybertron!
Optimus Prime: What is it?
Goldbug: We're getting signals that it's a Decepticon.
Hot Rod: A Decepticon attack?
Optimus Prime: I don't know, but lets find out. Percepter, stay here. The rest of you, come with me.
The Autobots head outside and see's the Decepticon garbage rocket crash landing.
Ultra Magnus: A garbage rocket?
Kup: It could be a trap.
Grimlock: Lets smash it!
Optimus Prime: Easy Grimlock, we don't want anyone getting hurt.
Hot Rod: I'll go check it out.
Optimus Prime: Be carefule Hot Rod.
Hot Rod walks slowly towards the Decepticon rocket and opens the door.
Kup: Do you see anything suspicious.
Hot Rod: No, I don't see a bomb, a tracker or a Decepti... Wait a minute.
Ultra Magnus: What is it?
Hot Rod: Somethings in here. It's moving!
A strange figure covered in garbage jumps out and yells. Hot Rod jumps away and prepares to fire, but then the strange figure falls to the ground.
Goldbug: What is it?
Optimus Prime and the others walk towards it. He kneels down and see's who it is.
Optimus Prime: Galvatron.
Hot Rod: What?
Grimlock: Me Grimlock crush Galvatron!
Optimus Prime: Hold on. He's not moving.
Kup: Is he dead?
Optimus Prime: No, he's still alive.
Hot Rod: Well, lets not just stand here lets finish him off.
Optimus Prime: No Hot Rod, I need him alive.
Hot Rod: What, why?
Optimus Prime: He was probably attack by Starscream and he might know which stones he has.
Hot Rod: Well we can't put him in the medical center, he might go crazy and destroy everyone.
Optimus Prime: Your right. We'll put him in prison. And when he wakes up, I'll be ready for him.
