Fate and Destiny

Venus' POV

When Primus faded away, I looked Optimus in the optics "Venus, I knew what had occurred in your previous life when Elita and I bonded with you when I held you for the first time." Optimus said, "Primus gave me a vision of your arrival and when I heard you crying in Ratchet's servos and you stopped when I was asked to hold you." Optimus added as we began to emerge from the long dark road. "So I was meant to die as a human, and be reborn as a Prime," I said, "Primus did answer your question but he had said to me I was meant to be a Prime and it would seem the same as you Venus Prime." Optimus said. I am not too sure if I want to be addressed as 'Venus Prime' yet because I still don't know what it means to be a Prime like Optimus, the large mech I refer to as 'sire'.

"Optimus, I still don't understand what it means to be a Prime. Is it about maintaining order? Is it really about carrying on the legacy of the original thirteen you used to tell me stories about when I was a sparkling?" I asked him. "It is everything you had said Venus but I will be by your side as Primus had said to the two of us my young Prime." He said. We continued to dark path off by the Matrix showed us the way out of the core and back to the base so Optimus and I wouldn't have to take the way we came in due to Con's. "Venus, I know you still have some memory of being human but I am aware you have made an effort to not look back onto those my youngling," Optimus said as we made our way to the depths of Iacon, home to Elita and the three younglings we have been working with.

"Venus, you still have to do one on one lessons with me as Prime because Primus had made it your destiny and it was to be our fate to lead Cybertron as Primes." Optimus said after a moment of silence and I knew it was the wisdom of the Prime, "Optimus, is it because the symbols on our helms match?" I ask Optimus, "Little one, Primus did tell me the sparkling I was to find and raise as my own young one looked like you so I knew I was to be your sire as Elita was to be your carrier." Optimus said as we made our way to the light.

Optimus' POV

When Primus had told the two of us once, he revives Cybertron Venus and I would lead the planet as Primus had foreseen but Venus would lead it by my side as Prime herself. "Venus, have you seen the other original thirteen Primes in your holo fluxes my young Prime." I ask her "yes Optimus but I really desire to meet Solus Prime herself. Alpha Trion told me he had been watching me ever since I was a Sparkling along with the other Prime Optimus." Venus answered me. "Venus, you will meet her in a vision but until then be patient young Prime." I gently tell her. I can tell she wants to be back with her carrier and her friends.

When we got out of the tunnel from the depths of Primus to hear, his wisdom and Venus had her questions answered by the creator who knew of her terrible life as a human but decided to make it her fate to die as a human and have her destiny being alongside me. I still keep the memories of her being a tiny little sparkling Elita and I grew to love as creators, "Venus I still remember when I adopted you and when you were small enough to fit in my servos, you were so tiny." I said to my youngling. She looked up at me knowing she was still small, a few feet shorter than Bumblebee, "Venus we are nearly back home my young one." I said to her very gently. "I know Optimus" she replied to me and I guess she may start to get the idea of the Matrix of Leadership sooner than I think she would.

When we walked on the dark roads of Iacon, she looked stunned to see the destruction "Venus, this was why I never took you outside the base when you we a tiny sparkling. Ironhide and Ratchet did the same thing for Bumblebee, Sideswipe and Sunstreaker my young one." I said to her. "I understand now Optimus," Venus said to me and I could only smile at the young Prime.

Elita's POV

The moment my bond mate and youngling walked into my quarters I hugged both of them and kissed Optimus on his lips "Optimus what did Primus say about our youngling." I asked, "She was meant to lead alongside me as a Prime and not live on as a human my love" he replied. When Optimus told me Venus was once an unloved human through our bond I was shocked and vowed to be a better carrier to her and I did everything for her.

"Venus is it true that Primus had said it was your destiny and fate to lead Cybertron when your sire my young spark" I ask her "yes Elita but he has to revive Cybertron. The devastation caused by Megatron is sad. I try not to think of him as Optimus' brother for what he had done." She replied to me. I can understand but she didn't want to hate him, but she was forced to for what he had done. I knew it would be time to understand how she was reborn and why but Primus himself would have to answer.

I had ushered Venus to her berth when I saw her optic shutter, "yes Elita" "Venus you can spend time with Bumblebee, Sideswipe and Sunstreaker when you are fully recharged but sweet spark you need to rest." I said to her as she went into her recharge. I love her, but I know she had to be with Optimus since he was with his adopted sire when he saw Primus for the first time in his cycles.
