Chapter 8

"Oh, that legend!" exclaimed Skyfire in surprise.

"What legend?" asked Mikaela to the shuttle-form.

"The legend about Onyx Prime and the Prime that was called as the Thirteenth," said Skyfire.

"It's only a legend," said Jetfire. "There's no way it's true."

"What's the legend say?" now Mikaela felt intrigued.

"Well, the legend said that Onyx Prime and the Thirteenth was an eternal sparkmate," explained Skyfire, "I don't know where the legend came from, but it said, these two Primes entwined with each other, making them always found each other, despite their reincarnations' species, the distances of their reborn places, and the time they reborn."

Everyone who heard Skyfire's story were fascinated with it. However, a scoff from Jetfire made them to looked at the ancient ex-Con.

"It's just a fairy-tale," said Jetfire to the others. "There's no evidence that Onyx Prime and the Thirteenth are sparkmate."

"Even though it's only a fairy-tale, it's still beautiful, Jetfire," told Skyfire to the ancient. "Every mech and femme want to become like them. Meeting with each other even after they are reborn into different frames."

Emmanuel nodded his head. "It's true, Jetfire. The legend about Onyx Prime and the Thirteenth is similar with the legend of King Arthur Pendragon and Merlin from my world," he told the ancient.

"Your world? Do you mean in Draconic there is a legend like that?" Jetfire looked at Emmanuel.

Emmanuel shook his head. "No, in the world where I had been send by my parents," he told the ex-Con. "In this world, there's a legend about a King who is called Arthur Pendragon and a sorcerer who is called Merlin. The two of them are soul mate or sparkmate in Cybertronian term, but duties make them can't be with each other."

"But they can be with each other, right?" asked Mikaela.

Emmanuel shook his head. "No, they can't be with each other, Mikaela. First, because Arthur needed to marry a woman to have an heir, and second…" now he brushed his face, "second because he died in the hand of Mordred before he could ask Merlin to become his bonded after he had an heir."

"Oh…" Mikaela looked sad when she heard the story.

"Okay, enough with all of those legend stuff…" Jetfire's voice pulled everyone back to reality. "You all need to know that somewhere, buried in this desert, that deadly machine remains. The Fallen knows where it is and if he finds the tomb of the Primes, your world will be no more."

Emmanuel looked at Jetfire with his arms crossed. "So, how do we stop him?" asked the Draconian.

"Only a Prime can defeat the Fallen," said Jetfire wistfully.

Emmanuel flinched when he heard that title came from Jetfire's mouth. Sam, who noticed the anguish in his friend's violet eyes, grasped his shoulder in gentle manner. The Draconian looked towards Sam from the corner of his eyes before gave him a slight nod of thanks.

"So, only Optimus Prime who can defeat the Fallen?" whispered Mikaela sadly.

Skyfire looked at the woman. "What is it?" he asked her confusedly. "Why do you look so sad?"

"He sacrificed himself to save me," whispered Sam to everyone.

"And it's my fault for couldn't save him," said Emmanuel, making everyone to look at the Draconian. "My fault…"

"NO!" now Sam felt angry at Emmanuel's safe-blaming. "It was not your fault! It was Megatron's fault, Emmanuel! Not yours!" he grasped the violet-eyed teen's shoulders. "You had tried so hard to help Optimus, but even though you're a Draconian and a very powerful one too, that doesn't mean you're a God!"

"But…" Emmanuel looked at Sam with anguish in his eyes.

"No, buts!" he glared hard at the Draconian. "Put this in your thick skull, Emmanuel! IT. WAS. NOT. YOUR. FAULT!"

Emmanuel stared at Sam for a moment before a small smile appeared on his face. "Since when you start to become wise, Samuel Witwicky?" he asked the teen in joking manner.

Sam smirked at the joking and answered, "I become wise after since I become your friend, Emmanuel." He became silent for a moment. "Oh, it's Sam not Samuel."

Emmanuel laughed softly.

"So… if he's really dead, than we can't do anything," said Jetfire to them. "Only a Prime that can stop the Fallen."

The Draconian looked at the Blackbird with hard stares. "Optimus Prime still alive," he told the ex-Con. "He is just in a coma. I had fixed hi spark chamber but something is necessary to wake him up."

Now it was Jetfire and Skyfire turned to look at Emmanuel with surprise in their optics. It was Skyfire who asked the question, "Wait, how can you fix a dead Prime?" along with asking the question, the two of them realized something strange from the Draconian. He had a large spark in him. More powerful than any other sparks he felt before, even more powerful than the original Primes.

Emmanuel brushed his face in irritation. "Okay, let me introduce myself…" he looked at the Shuttle and the Blackbird. "My name is Emmanuel Bright in this form," he pointed to his alt-form or human-form. "But my true name is Draco Kaiser, I'm the Last of Draconian and the youngest son of Emperor Vertag and Empress Fea, the younger brother of Prince Krom, Prince Klein, Prince Antwort, and Princess Aya." He wetted his dry lips. "And the last title I have is… The Guardian of the All-Spark."

"You're a Guardian of the All-Spark?" asked Jetfire incredulously. "That's never happen before. So why now?" he was confused.

Emmanuel shrugged his shoulders. "Beat me," he told the Shuttle before he looked at Jetfire. "Do you want me to heal your body, Jetfire? I can do that if you allow me."

Jetfire smiled at the Draconian's offer before shook his head. "I have lived for a very long time, I don't think I can stay in this mortal realm much longer," he told the violet-eyed teen. "Just… let me help you in your quest before my time to go to the Well of Sparks come."

Emmanuel did not say anything at Jetfire's explanation, he only nodded in understanding. He knew he could not force someone if he or she had decided something. He was not a tyrant like Megatron who wanted everyone to follow his way.

Suddenly a realization came into his mind and he voiced it out loud, "Wait a moment!" everyone turned at him. "The energy that's going to be used to reactivate the machine, could that energy somehow be used to reactive Optimus and bring him back to life?"

Jetfire looked thoughtful for a moment. "It wasn't designed for that purpose, but it is an energy like no other. Unlike the All-Spark, the Matrix of Leadership was created using the energy of all Primes and only a Prime with a specific quality use its power," he explained. "The Prime who possess the Matrix is the leader of the Cybertronian race. That was its purpose and hence its name. The Matrix of Leadership."

Sam looked at Jetfire. "So then how do you get us to the Matrix before the Decepticons get to us?" he asked the Blackbird.

"Follow your mind, your map, your symbols!" Jetfire tapped his metal helm with his clawed digit. "What you carved in the sand is your clue. When dawn alights the Dagger's Tip. Three Kings will reveal the doorway. Find the doorway. Go now, go! That was my mission, it's your mission now before the Decepticons find me and find you."

Emmanuel watched Sam and the others clambered their way down to the ground where the Autobots were waiting. Before Sam was near Bumblebee, he turned around to look at Emmanuel and asked, "Aren't you going with us?"

The Draconian shook his head. "I will stay here with Skyfire and Jetfire… we will… handling a few Decepticons," he told him with a slight grin. "Maybe give Megatron something else to worry about."

Sam shuddered slightly at the evil grin that appeared across the Draconian's beautiful face before climbed inside Bumblebee's alt-mode.

After Sam and the Autobots had gone, Skyfire looked at Emmanuel. "Are you sure you want to fight the Decepticons, Emmanuel?" asked the Shuttle. "If they know you're the Guardian of the All-Spark, they will try to have you in their side."

Emmanuel scoffed. "Whatever my decision is going to be, Skyfire, that slag Megatron will try to take me away from the Autobots' side," he told the Shuttle.

"Why?" asked the ancient ex-Con.

"Because he is intrigued with me. The first time I met him, I hit him with a powerful lightning bolt and blasted him through five big buildings before I stopped," he explained and crossed his arms. "Not only that… he starts to feel intrigue with me and decides to take me into his side, even that means force me into spark-bonding with him."

Jetfire and Skyfire looked murderous when they heard Emmanuel's explanation. They knew that in the past, forced spark-bonding could be done to make sure a prisoner would never harm his or her capturer. That barbaric act was banned from Cybertron after many bots died in the hands of their capturers.

"And you still want to help the human finding the Matrix of Leadership when you know what will happen if Megatron has his claws on you?" asked Jetfire incredulously.

Emmanuel put his hands on his hips. "Do you believe me if I tell you that I'm doing this because I'm selfish?" he asked the two Cybertronian.

Skyfire looked at Emmanuel before slowly nodded his head. "Yes, I believe you when you say that," he told the Draconian. "But still… putting your life in dangerous situation just for your selfishness is a dumb move, Emmanuel."

"How if I told you that my selfishness would make sure Optimus came back online?" he looked hard into the Shuttle's optics. "My self is insignificant than Optimus' own. He is a Prime and I'm only a… what you call it? Ah… a relic from the lost and extinct civilization."

"You're the Guardian of the All-Spark!" shouted Jetfire. "That means your life is important like Optimus Prime's own! You can't think that your life is insignificant, Draco Kaiser!"

Emmanuel crossed his arms at his Draconian's name. "Not if the Autobots find a way to transfer the All-Spark from my spark to another container," he told Jetfire.

Skyfire looked hard at the Draconian in front of him. He did not understand why Emmanuel talked like that. It as if he was… his optics widened up in realization before sadness came into them. "Emmanuel," the violet-eyed teen looked at the Shuttle, "you want to die, aren't you?"

Jetfire snapped his head to the Shuttle when he heard that question. "What?" he asked in disbelief.

Emmanuel glared hard at the Shuttle. "What make you think I have a death wish?" he challenged him.

Skyfire sighed before slowly kneel in front of Emmanuel before gently poked the violet-eyed teen's chest. "Because you watched every member of your race being killed in front of your own optics. Because you watched how your parents tried so hard to protect you from being killed by the killer of your race and you were helpless," he told the violet-eyed teen.

Emmanuel gritted his fangs at Skyfire's words. "Stop it…" he whispered softly.

"No," stated Skyfire calmly. "You need to hear this, Emmanuel Bright… no, Draco Kaiser… everything that happened to your race back then wasn't your fault." He wrapped the teen around his hand when he saw the violet-eyed teen wanted to attack him. "Listen to me… everything that happened to your race back then wasn't your fault. You were a merely youngling back then. It wasn't your duty to shoulder the weight of their deaths on your shoulders."

"YES IT IS!" screamed Emmanuel. "I was the Prince of Draconian! It was my duty to make sure everyone safe from harm!" he cringed when tears startled to trickle down across his cheeks.

"And it was your family duty to make sure you were safe back then," he looked into the Draconian's violet eyes. "I know my words aren't going to budge you, but what do you think Optimus Prime will say if he finds out about your death wish, Emmanuel?"

The Draconian stopped when he heard the question. He knew what would Optimus do if he knew about his death wish. He would try to make sure he see he was loved by everyone in the Autobots and he was not alone. He would make sure Emmanuel would not try to throw his life away like it did not have any meaning.

"We need to go," whispered Emmanuel, teleporting away from Skyfire's hand. "We have a thing to do." He then walked away from the two Cybertronian.

"Ah, this isn't good," whispered Skyfire when he saw the retreating figure of Emmanuel. "He really has a death wish in his spark. We need to do something before he decide to take the matter with his own hands."

Jetfire shook his head. "You don't need to feel worry that he's going to take his own life with his own hands," he told the Shuttle. "His pride as a Draconian will never let him to do that. However, that doesn't mean he can't throw himself in front of laser beams."

"Well… we can't blame him for having a death wish like that, Jetfire," said Skyfire to the ancient Cybertron. "Maybe we, the Cybertronian is in a civil war, but we still exist even though only few left. Kaiser… he not only lost his race, his family, but his home too."

"Why doesn't he use the All-Spark to create his home once more?" asked Jetfire.

"He isn't a selfish person, Jetfire," stated Skyfire. "He will never use the All-Spark just for his happiness. For him, his happiness is insignificant than the other's happiness."

"I hope Prime can be resurrected with this Matrix of Leadership," said Jetfire. "He is the only one who can talk to that stubborn Draconian."

Skyfire nodded in agreement.

While putting the com-device into his ear, Emmanuel cursed that white scientist for being observant. So what if he had a death wish? No one would be hurt if that happen! Especially after Optimus came back online! Why should he felt worry towards him if he had that kind of wish?

He stopped his ranting when the link between him and the NEST Base had established. "Frenzy… put everyone in the com-link. I have something to tell them," he told the mini-bot.

"Sure, leader!"

After every Autobots were in the link, Emmanuel started to tell them what he had found when he went away from the Base and followed Sam. He told them that the Fallen wanted to activate a machine that had been placed on earth millennia ago to harvest energon by destroying earth's sun. The thing that could activate the machine was called the Matrix of Leadership which the Primes hid using their bodies on earth. Not only that, he too told the Autobots that the Matrix of Leadership could wake Optimus from his deep coma.

"So where is this… Matrix now?" asked Ironhide.

"Somewhere in Egypt if the information is correct," answered Emmanuel to the trigger-happy bot. "They Cybertronian glyphs that Sam has been seeing inside his head are actually clues as where to find the Matrix. He is on a mission with Skid, Mudflap, Bumblebee, Wheelie, Simmons, Leo, and Mikaela." He closed his eyes.

"I know what you want to say to us," said Epps. "You want us to ship Optimus to your position by plane and when Sam finds the Matrix, we're going to revive Optimus and kick the Fallen's butt. Correct?" he asked the Draconian.

Emmanuel smiled at Epps' conclusion. "You're right, Epps. After Bumblebee gives a go through Frenzy, you will use the coordination that I'm going to send to the Base to ship Optimus, air drop the Prime down on the sand, wait for Sam to arrive, and then revive him." He looked to the sky. "Hopefully the Fallen and the slag Megatron wouldn't find out about our plan but it won't hurt to prepare ourselves just in case."

"Any strategy?"

Emmanuel became silent for a moment before told them what he had in mind, "I don't have any strategy right now, but with a help from Skyfire and Jetfire I know we can stop Decepticons from having the Matrix."

"Skyfire? Jetfire? What are you talking about, Emmanuel?" asked Jazz.

'Oh, slag, I forgot to tell them about those two,' thought Emmanuel while hitting himself on the head mentally. "Sorry, sorry. I forgot to tell you that I found two Cybertronian after I got out from the Base. Skyfire was a scientist from Iacon University that was trapped in the ice when earth still in pre-historic time period. Meanwhile, Jetfire…" now he did not know what to say to them about the ancient Blackbird.

"And Jetfire…" baited Jazz.

"Jetfire… is an ex-Con… he's one of the ancient…" he told the Autobots, waiting for the yelling from them. And he did not need to wait much longer, right after he informed them that Jetfire was an ex-Con, everyone in the link started to scream at him.

"A Decepticon! What the slag?!"

"Are you crazy, Emmanuel Bright?! Do you want me to throw a wrench to you?!"

"He would kill you, leader!"

"Don't trust him, Emmanuel!"

"ENOUGH!" yelled Emmanuel in commanding voice, making them to stop screaming. "I trust Jetfire because I can sense no malice and lie in his words…"

"But…"

"I think all of you should put some trust to the Guardian of the All-Spark," told Jetfire into the link. "Not only that, I'm old and I know my time nearly come. At least let me do something to help your Prime before I go to the Well of Spark."

After hearing the wishful words from the ancient, they decided to accept him in their side.

"Now what are you going to do, Emmanuel?" asked Jetfire.

Emmanuel gave the ancient a small smile. "I'm not going to do anything until everyone arrive here with Optimus."

000

"What do you mean the Matrix of Leadership become a dust?" asked Emmanuel to Bumblebee via the com-link.

"I don't know what really happens, Emmanuel. After Sam found the Matrix it was suddenly turned into a dust," explained Bumblebee to the Draconian.

Emmanuel did not understand how this happened, but there was no way he would stay there and do nothing. However, before he could move, Jetfire stopped him.

"There must be some other thing to summon the Matrix," he told Emmanuel. "Don't forget, it was created using the Primes' power and it wouldn't just turn into dust without any reason."

Emmanuel looked at the ex-Con before let out a small sigh. However his attention was caught by a sudden flare in the com-link. "Yes?" asked Emmanuel to whoever in the com-link.

"We have arrived in your position, Emmanuel," said Lennox to the Draconian.

"Just drop from the planes, I will do the rest," he informed the soldier.

He watched towards the sky when he saw three planes' ramps lowered in unison and every bots jumped out from the planes with their precious cargo. Without any hesitation Emmanuel used his power to make their dropping were smooth and not risky for their lives. He grunted when the weight of everyone was transferred to him.

After everyone made it safely to the ground, Emmanuel collapsed, breathing heavily as the strain of so much weight finally took a tool on his reserves. He blinked when Ratchet went to him so he could examine him for any wounds.

"I'm alright, Ratchet," he told the med-bot. "I just need to take some rest before I can function properly." He grinned at him.

Ratchet narrowed his optics. "If you lie to me, Emmanuel, I will make sure you meet my favorite wrench," he told the Draconian.

Emmanuel only laughed before looked towards the stilled-form of Optimus. "Still the same?" he asked the med-bot.

"Still the same," he told the Draconian.

He nodded in understanding before closed his eyes and let out a small sigh. He opened his eyes in a snap he sensed a familiar aura of his brother in Egypt, telling him that the Decepticons had come. Hastily he stood back onto his feet and looked at the others.

"The Decepticons have arrived and I think they already know that Sam is on his way to us," he told them. "Defensive perimeters, everyone. Hostilities coming our way soon," informed Emmanuel before transformed into his Draconian form and went to the sky.

Few minutes later after he went to the sky, Emmanuel saw a bunch of Decepticons coming towards their position. He narrowed his optics, six Decepticons and he could see from a distance that another on was coming their way. Judging that it was airborne, it could either be Starscream or Megatron.

He just wished it was not Megatron. When he wanted to inform everyone, the Decepticon did it for him.

Missiles and energy blast pelted their position, causing quite a lot of sand to fly up to the air as they exploded. He did not need to bark out any order since everyone were already doing what he wanted them to do.

They opened fired with a vengeance. Not only that, he too could hear Ironhide was cackling madly as he unleashed missiles and energy blasts with relish.

Kaiser watched the fight with calculating gazes and then decided to become the Autobots' shield. With that in his mind, Kaiser created small shields all around the area to block missiles and energy weapons. He blocked an incoming missile that was heading for Ironhide before shifting his shield to the side to intercept the one aiming for Ratchet.

Suddenly a flare of warning erupted in his processor along with a yell of 'Watch Out!' from some of the Autobots and the soldiers.

His breath stopped momentarily when Megatron suddenly pounced him from behind and locked his left arm around his neck. The Draconian growled loudly and gave him a headbutt with the back of his head. The result was Megatron released the Draconian with a pained groan.

"Kaiser!" yelled Barricade to the Draconian.

"Don't come here!" he yelled back at the ex-Con. "Just help the others protect Sam from harm! I will handle this problem alone!"

"But he's Megatron!" the Saleen yelled back. "You can't fight him alone!"

"I will be fine!" he did not turn to look at the ex-Con. "Just protect Sam along with the others!" after he sure the Saleen did what he asked him to do, the Kaiser looked back at the silver tyrant. "It looks like it's only you and me now."

Megatron looked at Kaiser with… was that? Yes, lust in his optics. The Draconian shuddered in disgust at that kind of emotion in the silver tyrant's red optics. He would choose to kill himself than became this silver tyrant's plaything.

"Why don't you join me, Kaiser?" asked Megatron with a smirk on his face. "I will make sure you get everything that you want."

Kaiser scoffed inwardly at the typical offers that the villain would offer to the protagonist in a story. There was no way Megatron could grant his wish, not even if he had the All-Spark in his hand. For, the death should be stayed dead. It was a crime of nature to disturb the death.

The Draconian narrowed his optics tot the silver tyrant. "I don't think so, Megatron," he told him. "I will never betray the Autobots, not even if you offer me the universe."

"You're a fool, Kaiser! You have a power to be anything else, but you decide to help those weaklings?!" he pointed his gun towards Bumblebee, who had appeared not too far from his position. "I will make sure you will come to my side, even that means kill every Autobots in existence!"

Kaiser was shocked to hear the insanity in Megatron's words but he did not stayed immobile when he saw the silver tyrant pointed his gun towards Bumblebee. In a blink of violet-blue light particles, Kaiser appeared in front of Megatron to deliver a hard punch right into his stomach. However, his attack only made the huge mech let out a small grunt.

Hastily Kaiser teleported away from the silver mech and narrowed his optics. The leader of Decepticon was strong and he knew he could not match him in physical strength, but at least he could keep up with him with his 'magic'. With that in his mind, Kaiser delivered a barrel of lightning orbs towards the leader of Decepticon, hoping it could stop the silver mech from killing Sam.

A loud of explosion erupted when the lighting orbs came in contact with Megatron. The Draconian did not drop his alertness even after his attack came in contact with the silver mech, for he had a feeling the leader of Decepticon was more than an eye. And he was right, from the black smoke, Megatron leaped out and went to him.

Without any hesitation Kaiser raised his hand and then made it into a fist. At the same time he did that, a violet-blue light surrounding Megatron and paralyzed him. The only thing that the silver tyrant could move with his free will was his own optics.

"Do you forget what can I do, Megatron?" asked Kaiser coldly. "If I really want to, I can kill you like this." He tightened his fist, making Megatron to groan in slight pain.

With a sigh, Kaiser threw the silver tyrant away from where he was before looked down to the others. He blinked when he saw Sam clambered over Optimus and slammed the tip of the Matrix on Optimus' spark chamber, causing the large Autobots' leader to wake up from his coma.

However, his happiness died down when the Fallen teleported in the middle of the group, smacked Optimus back, stole the Matrix, and left in a bright light though he did appeared in the air and disappeared again, making his way to the pyramid.

Kaiser knew he needed to give Optimus some time so he could combine with the dying Jetfire. So, with that in his mind, Emmanuel turned his attention towards the pyramid where he could see the tip of the sun destroyer machine peeking out from the pyramid.

With a one flap of his wings, Kaiser teleported to the top of the pyramid, just in time to see the Fallen used a form of telekinesis to bring the tank floating towards him and letting them go to fall to their destruction. Kaiser narrowed his optics at the cruel actions of the Fallen and used his spark-power to caught all the tanks and soldiers that were about fall to their deaths.

This action made Fallen to look at him.

"Who are you?" growled the Fallen when he saw Kaiser.

"He is the last Draconian that I had told you about, master," told Megatron to the Fallen. "His name is Draco Kaiser, the Prince of Draconian Empire."

The Fallen chuckled when he heard the information. "So, you're the last descendant of my foolish little brother, Onyx Prime?" whispered the Fallen to Kaiser.

Kaiser only narrowed his optics before unleashed a wave of blasting attacks towards the Fallen and Megatron. Violet-blue energies flew straight and true towards the two mechs, but the Fallen levitated the lose blocks from the pyramid to block the attack. When he wanted to throw another blasting attacks, he caught something from the corner of his optics. He instinctively raised his hand and created a shield just in time to intercept a blast from Megatron, but the explosion was so powerful that he was thrown back onto the ground from the shock-wave it caused.

Kaiser groaned the pain on his head and tried to move back onto his feet. His optics widened up behind his black full-visor when the Fallen suddenly appeared on top of him and then choked him. He started to claw on the Fallen's arm to make the ex-Prime released him.

The Fallen narrowed his optics before he moved towards Kaiser's black visor so the distance was only an inch. The Draconian did not know what the Fallen had found from his face, but the ex-Prime suddenly laughed cruelly, making him to shudder in fear.

"I couldn't believe this…" said the Fallen in disbelief. "I really couldn't believe this…" with saying those words, the Fallen slowly moved his other hand towards Kaiser's visor. "Let us see if you really are like what I think."

Kaiser let out a growl of anger when the Fallen's hand slowly came closer towards his visor, intending to open it. Fortunately for him, Barricade came to his rescue. He leaped towards the Fallen and kicked him away from the Draconian. However, the Fallen could balance himself back and hit Barricade's right shoulder with his spear. Barricade let out a roar of pain as he dropped on his knees.

"Barricade!" Elita-1 cried out worriedly when she and her two sisters had reached out their location.

The Fallen growled to Barricade before turned his attention back to Kaiser, who had come back to his own feet. He tilted his head when he saw a violet-blue circle appeared beneath the Draconian. The Fallen's optics became wide when he saw a large violet-blue spear appeared in Kaiser's hand.

Kaiser threw the large violet-blue spear towards the Fallen and hit the mech on its chest plate. However, different from the other enemies, the spear could not push the Fallen off. This development made Kaiser to growl in annoyance. He knew he was powerful, but an ex-Prime was in an another league and he would find some difficult to fight against him.

"Move, Kaiser!"

The Draconian looked up to the sky when he heard Optimus' voice. He watched with wide optics when Optimus appeared with new equipment that allowed him to fly. He watched incredulously when Optimus rammed into the Fallen, shot at Megatron while flipping in mid-air in a feat of acrobatics to release a bullet from his large arm gun at the machine peaking out of the pyramid's tip. The explosion was noteworthy as the sun destroyer was blew up along with the pyramid.

The last Draconian watched how easy Optimus fought against the Fallen. But his attention soon was distracted by a sudden tug from the All-Spark in his spark. The All-Spark tugged at him to follow its command. Feeling curious, Kaiser decided to follow the All-Spark's command and went to the ruin of the sun harvester/pyramid.

He touched his chest when a hard tug erupted in his spark, as if it wanted to tell him dig up the ruins until he found what it asking for. Without thinking too much, Kaiser did what the All-Spark wanted him to do. Not long after he dig up the ruins, he found the Matrix of Leadership that he knew was belonged to Optimus.

The last Draconian was shocked when the Matrix suddenly changed into a ball of light before went into his chest. The All-Spark then gave him an image about him protecting the Matrix before gave it back to Optimus. He felt some kind of relief when he realized that he only needed to guard the Matrix from bad people.

With a nod of satisfaction, Kaiser stood up and decided to go back to the others. However, he did not realize that Megatron had appeared right in the blind side of his optics until the silver mech gave him a hard punch on the back of his neck.

He wanted to stay conscious but another hard punch sent him to the darkness.

000

Optimus felt relief when he had succeed killing the Fallen and made sure earth still existed. Everyone was looking at him in awe and happiness, but the only thing he wanted to see right now was Kaiser's face. He knew he needed to apologize to the Draconian for making him worry for these last three days.

However, when he looked around, he realized he did not find Kaiser. This development made the Prime felt uneasy but he decide to think positively, that right now the last Draconian only wanted to be left alone.

"Prime!" yelled Barricade, making Optimus and everyone to look at him.

"What is it, Barricade?" asked Optimus to the Saleen.

"It's Kaiser!" added Elita-1, making the Prime to look at her with narrowed optics.

"What happened to him?" he asked the femme.

"Megatron took him away!"

That answer was not what Optimus had in his processor. What he had in his processor when Elita-1 and Barricade told him about Kaiser, was the last Draconian was in pain or whatsoever. Not being captured by Megatron!

After the answer was proceeded by Optimus' processor, the Prime let out a let out an angry roar that made everyone in the area to shiver in fear.

"MEGATRON!"
