AS the King and Queen of Iacon waited their fates, Mirage and his two attendants were close to the secret coordinates. Mirage had to be careful how fast he went, as his systems were acting a bit goofy since he carried twins. Bee and Jumper made sure Mirage kept moving in the secret tunnel even if it was slowly. Mirage didn't like this, but he felt reassured by his attendants and the pulses his in his spark that Optimus was on his way as well. Mirage wasn't sure what they would find at the coordinates, but Mirage just hoped it was safe, as did Bee and Jumper.
Meanwhile, having received the Matrix of leadership, King Optimus Prime was being led by Ironhide and Ratchet to the area that had been set up. Optimus worried about his parents and his mate as well as his unsparked sparklings as they headed for the secret safe area. Ironhide and Ratchet, along with Perceptor who had accidentally found the three, were heading towards the safe area. "I'm sorry if I startled you, but I saw you leave and I didn't know the coordinates to the safe area" Perceptor replied when he saw the three look at him. Optimus merely nodded, and since Optimus didn't say anything about it, neither did the other two. They just kept going, knowing they were high at risk for being destroyed of Megatron or his posse found them.
Meanwhile, on a high from having destroyed the Kingdom of Vos and the Kingdom of Kaon, Megatron set his evil sights on now attacking the largest Kingdom on Cybertron – the Kingdom of Iacon. HE knew it was ruled by the Prime and that the Prime had the Matrix of Leadership. However, Megatron also surmised that if the Matrix was destroyed, then no one would be able to oppose Megatron taking over Cybertron. Megatron was getting an evil grin on his face when he heard news that he didn't like. "Sir, the Prince of Kaon is not amongst the dead in Kaon and no one has found him" the solider stated.
This pissed Megatron off royally, as he either wanted to force a bond on the young Prince and force him to be a queen for the evil empire or destroy him if the bot refused. "Why is he not here?" Megatron demanded.
"I don't know sir" the soldier replied.
"FIND OUT NOW!" Megatron yelled at the minion and quickly the minion scurried off to see if he could find anything. Megatron was now even angrier. As it meant that the royal line of Kaon was still alive and possibly in the hands of the Prime now and that didn't sit well with the King of Eron, Vos and now Kaon.
The minion soon returned, but it was not good news. "Sir, I have located information in the databank regarding the prince of Kaon" the minion stated carefully.
"AND?" Megatron answered, demanding to be told.
"It would see he was betrothed to the Prince of Iacon and set out for Iacon a few days ago to bond with his betrothed" the minion revealed, as King Onyx had been an idiot before his death and left the information accessible.
Megatron flew into a rage as he realized he was too late to stop the line of the Prime, unless he killed Sentinel AND the Prince of Iacon, Orion something or another. Megatron didn't care for names, especially of his enemies. They were all disgusting Autobots in his mind, anyways. The minion just watched, fearful to move in case Megatron came after the minion. Megatron calmed down slightly. "Then I guess or next step….is to take out Iacon" Megatron growled in an evil tone before laughing maniacally. The minion merely nodded. He wasn't about to go against Megatron.
Meanwhile, back at the castle, King Sentinel and Queen Elita were enjoying whatever amount of last hours that they had. "They will attack soon, my love" Sentinel stated, kissing his mate softly.
"I know, my dear, but for now, let's forget about that and just enjoy these precious hours together" Queen Elita answered, kissing her mate in return.
King Sentinel snuggled close to his Queen. "You are right, my love, just like always. I love you so much. Even though we were betrothed to each other long ago with no say in our choice to bond, my love for you has grown with each passing year" Sentinel answered.
"And my love for you has grown as well. And may it be like that for our Son Optimus and his new mate Mirage. May they find the love we have found" Queen Elita replied.
Sentinel nodded. "And may Optimus, with help from Primus, grow into a wise leader, sparkmate, and father" Sentinel added to what . The queen nodded and soon both fell into recharge, snuggled close together, with Sentinel wrapping his larger frame around the smaller frame of his mate. They both knew things would end soon, but they were at peace with it. Now, they rested until Primus called them home.
