Chapter 13

Silver Star stopped her struggling for a moment, noticing the voice. "Who's there!?"

"I am surprised you don't remember me little one."

"Wait," the femme gasped, thinking on the voice for a moment. "Primus? I-is that you?"

"It has been quite a long time since we last spoke, hasn't it?"

Bound to the core, Silver Star leaned her helm back, listening to the voice. "It has… please, can you help me? I don't understand."

Primus waited for her sobs to lessen before he spoke again. "Hear me, little one. What is happening now will put you and all of Cybertron in danger. Even if your sire and the others hand Cybertron over to the Quintessons, your life will not be spared, but will be one of slavery."

"I-I thought they wanted you and the core gone."

"That is only one road they might take." The core spoke softly. "They will use this threat to negotiate the planet away from the Cybertronians. If they do not give in to the Quintesson's demands, they will use you to blow up the planet. If they can't have the planet, no one can."

"And if they do give into the demands?"

"Then the Cybertronians will have to leave their home. But, the Quintessons know that I will not cooperate, so they will hold part of me hostage. That is where you come in. You have a connection to me, for you were a vessel for the Allspark for quite some time. They will force you to merge with me, where your body will pull the Allspark back into it. They you will be kept prisoner, a slave used only to keep my power away from me."

"How do you know this?"

"I heard part of their plans and it was simple for me to decipher the rest."

The femme sighed, thinking over the fate that the Quintessons set up for her. "Primus, what can I do to stop this from happening? Is there any way to neuralize the bomb inside me and keep everyone safe from harm?"

The deep voice of Primus did not speak for a few moments, and Silver Star became fearful as to what he might say to her. "Little one, there are few options, and most put your life at risk."

"I'm willing to die for my home. I was willing to save earth, and I'm willing to save Cybertron, no matter the cost to myself." Her processor filled with thoughts of her friends and family. The thought of never seeing the again broke her spark, but the thought of them dying or losing their home again hurt her far more. "Whatever the cost, I'm willing to pay it."

"Well then," Primus spoke, his voice firm yet comforting, giving the young femme a sense of peace about the entire situation. "Listen well, little one. I'll tell you what to do."

Megatron and Thunderstruck transformed mid-air, plummeting down to the ground. They stood over the Sonic Canyons. "The tunnels in the canyon should go all the way down to the Core."

"Megatron, are you certain she's down there?"

"I put a tracker on her when she arrived." The former warlord admitted. "I had a feeling she would be taken, so I prepared for it. She's down at the Core, and probably well-guarded. How well can you fight, young mech?"

Thunderstruck looked down into the canyon. "I can fight some. Arcee taught me."

"Fine," Megatron transformed again, hovering for a moment. "Follow me, and don't lag behind." The young mech nodded before transforming; the two dove down into the canyon, passing through into one of the tunnels that led directly to the inner workings of the planet and eventually to the Core itself.

As they flew, the scraplets and turbofoxes inhabiting the maze of tunnels all scattered, leaving a clear path for the two.

When they reached the area around the Core, they stopped, ducking behind cover as ranks of Sharkticons lined up in front of the Core entrance.

"She's definitely in there. So, Megatron, what is the plan?"

The former warlord's blade shot out from his arm, startling Thunderstruck. "We destroy them all. Do what you can, just don't offline, Silver Star would never forgive me if you did, but don't distract me. I can't fight them off and protect you at the same time."

"Got it."

Megatron immediately turned, charging the line of Sharkticons. The enemy staggered, taken by surprise at the sudden onslaught.

Thunderstruck leapt over their cover and knocked back one of the enemy. He'd never had weapons installed, but at least Arcee had taught him some attacks. He hoped he could hold his own in the battle.

More Sharkticons ran in from the Core chamber, most likely leaving Silver Star completely unguarded.

"Megatron! The way is clear!"

"Go!" The silver mech yelled. "I'll cover you!" They moved towards the Core with Megatron guarding the entrance. He quickly thinned the ranks down before following Thunderstruck deeper into the planet.

As he ran up, he could see Silver Star bound to the Core and her young friend struggling to pull her down. "Megatron?" The femme smiled.

"Move, Thunderstruck." The warlord slashed her bindings off, allowing the younger mech to catch his friend as she fell down. "Star, are you alright?"

"I'm fine… they didn't hurt me." Her smile seemed to fade away after a moment. "Thank you for coming to save me, but it's no use."

"What are you talking about?"

"Thunder, Megatron, this is the end for me." She stepped away from them. "As hard as this may sound, I need you to leave me here. I have to save Cybertron, and the only way to do that is to destroy the only way the Quintessons can win… me."

"Silver Star!?"

"You can't be serious!?"

"… I'm sorry, but I'm completely serious."
