Alright, since none of you actually responded to me, at all…this is the last chapter. Fear not! There will be a sequel…sometime, It's been fun writing this story, though challenging at points. I'll update this when the sequel comes out, but it might take a while…since I've promised sequels for other stories. Thank you for reading this, and it's been a fun time writing this, again, thank you.

"I'm coming home Ace…even if it takes my life…"~Zeke
Chapter Twelve-Epilogue-Another Portal/Reminiscence
Zeke
I had gotten a good few weeks of normality before I had to make another choice. Let me put this in perspective for you, I had just came out of a war, with no way to return home yet, and Crescent just pops up. It was a low-key night at the base. Jack was reading. Raph and Miko were playing video games. And I, well we, were looking through different planets on Ratchet's now upgraded tech. Ratchet was somewhere else. I turned around when a light caught my attention. Crescent walked out of a purple and blue portal. We raised an eyebrow and asked the first question:
"What is it this time?" I asked, rolling my imaginary eyes.
"Can't a friend visit?" Crescent replied, shaking his head.
"Not when it's you," I sarcastically threw back at him.
"Truth is, Zeke, I need you, the uni-" I cut him off."
"Fine," I replied.
"Huh?" Crescent blinked several times.
"I said fine, I'll save the universe again," I smirked. Crescent still looked a little shocked but shrugged it off.
"There may be no coming back," Crescent warned, for once using a serious look.
"It's worth it," I sighed, shrugging.
"Okay then, goodbyes?" Crescent replied, shrugging.
I walked up to Raph, Jack, and Miko a few minutes later.
"Hey guys, there's something important I have to tell you lot," I told them, rubbing the back of my head.
"You got this man!"-Darkrai.
"What is it?" Jack asked, looking up from his book.
"Yeah! What's the secret that needs to spill!?" Miko exclaimed.
"A somber one," I sighed. The three teens exchanged looks.
"I'm afraid I have to leave, and It might be a long time before you see me again, if at all…" I looked away.
"We understand, do what you need to do Zeke," Jack gave me a thumbs up.
"Yeah, do whatever you need to!" Raph gave a thumbs up as well.
"Go kick some tailpipe for us!" Miko exclaimed, giving two thumbs up. I smiled and found out after a minute that Ratchet was on Cybertron for the time being. I switched to Giratina's form, before one last goodbye, and opened up a portal to Cybertron.
Crescent stayed back while I walked into the Nemesis, though we had given it a new name, Dragon's Fury. I had a small smile as I remembered my time with the bots. So many great adventures. So much of Ratchet getting annoyed, and so much Optimus. Heh. Now that I'm leaving…It's gonna be so hard to say final, final goodbyes. I walked into the control room, the whole gang was here.
"Raph just called, he sounded like he was forcing something down, is everything ok?" Cee asked.
"Somewhat," I replied.
"Ezekiel, whatever may be the matter?" Optimus asked, turning around from the control pad.
"I'm afraid this may be the last time I ever see you lot. I have to leave, y'know…save the universe…again," I gave a weak smirk. The team took it different ways, some shocked, others very understanding, some confused.
"I'm sorry, but…this is goodbye, who knows, I may return," I somberly chuckled. The team said their own respective goodbyes, and I headed out, looking one last time at the ship that several times tried to kill me…
I approached Crescent who was looking at a device in his hands, similar to a phone.
"Hey," I greeted. A somber tone was still in my voice.
"You ready?" Crescent asked.
"Why else would I be here?" I chuckled.
"Fair enough," Crescent replied, opening up a blue and purple portal, star and galaxy patterns could be seen on the portal. We stepped through, and darkness met us on the other end…
Ok, first important thing. This story will updated when Zeke debuts again. Prob in a few months, but I don't know, after that will be the sequel. Feel free to ask questions. Two, again, I thank those of you who've read this all the way through, and I feel free to say this was one heck of an adventure, one I had not anticipated ;). This was so fun, one final time, thank you, and I'll see again…sometime. To write again,
-CrescentWrites.
