Trypticon activated his jet-pack and flew towards Earth, the aerial bots chased after him. "SHOOT HIS JET-PACK! WE CAN'T ALOW HIM TO REACH EARTH!" Jetfire ordered, they all began firing missiles at the giant's thrusters, damaging it. Trypticon didn't even spare them a glimpse before firing rockets from his shoulder cannons, taking out several aerial bots.

In Ultra Magnus's ship, Optimus opened the hatch, activating his own jet-pack, he didn't get sucked out because Ultra Magnus had prepared his ship for this with a gravity containment field. "What are you doing?!" Smokescreen shouted to his leader, trying to get him to come back.

"I know what I must do, at all costs make sure Trypticon can't reach Earth!" the prime ordered. Smokescreen could only watch as his leader flew out and jetted straight for Trypticon. Optimus drew the star saber and flew as fast as he could to get in front of Trypticon. Once he flew in front, he had gained the giant's attention, he only laughed at the Prime.

"Ahhh, Optimus Prime, the one who nearly offlined me all those centuries ago! I've waited long to be able to crush the life out of you!" he laughed again, opening his mouth, preparing to shoot his beam directly at Optimus.

Optimus barely flinched, opening his chest panels, revealing the matrix of leadership, he waited for Trypticon to fire his beam. Moments later purple energy emerged from Trypticon's large mouth, Optimus put the saber back, not needing it.

Trypticon fired with his everything, a blast that could punch a crater into Earth that could be seen from the atmosphere. Optimus prepared himself, a blue light emitting from the matrix, the blast hit him, it felt as if he was being pushed by the force of a meteor, hurtling into orbit. The matrix though somehow began deflecting the blast, Trypticon's beam wasn't harming Optimus.

He stopped his beam, smoke coming from his mouth, the heat having burned the metal in his mouth, he was shocked to the core to see the Prime unmoved by his blast. "THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE! WHY CAN'T YOU JUST DIE!" he yelled angrily, his beam started to power up again.

"NOTHING CAN DEFEAT ME! NOTHING! NOW FEEL THE BURN OF MY LASER!" he yelled, preparing to fire again, Optimus still stood, unmoved by his threat.

"Matrix of Leadership, I call upon you!" he yelled, the matrix began glowing a bright blue, this caught the glimpse of Trypticon, the giant's optics widened is terror at seeing the matrix.

"You've lost Trypticon!" Optimus yelled as a blue beam shot from the matrix, straight at Trypticon's chest, blasting a hole in the armor, making it's way down to the spark. Just then the blue beam came through the other side of Trypticon's torso, destroying his spark, recreated by dark energon.

"NOOOOOOOOOO! YOU WILL SUFFER FOR THIS AUTOBO…." he slurred, becoming a lifeless shell. His body began hurtling towards Earth, but it was glowing red. as the body fell, it quickly began to dissipate, until eventually, Trypticon's body finally disintegrated into nothing. Trypticon was no more.

Optimus's chest closed automatically, he huffed in exhaustion, when suddenly his mind went blank from the energy he had used. He quickly began to fall out of control, heading straight for the planet.

"OPTIMUS!" Jetfire yelled, flying full throttle towards his falling leader. But He couldn't catch up, for Optimus was falling too fast to grab him.

"If anyone can hear me on the ground, Optimus is falling out of control, he's headed straight for the planet's surface, I can't catch up to him!" he yelled, trying to warn Blackwolf and the others.

(Chicago, Illinois)

They heard Jetfire's warning, and very soon after they had all increased their sight range, they could see their falling leader. They panicked, not knowing what to do, time was running out for their leader, he wouldn't last much longer til he hit the ground.

Just then Jazz got an idea, it would be risky, but it could save their leader's life. He switched to his grapple hook, the tool he never went anywhere without, then he looked to Grimlock.

"Grimlock, I need you to throw me at Optimus!" he explained to the Dinobot. The titan looked at him like he was crazy, they didn't know what Jazz was planning, but Grimlock didn't argue, he picked up the small Autobot, aimed towards Optimus's falling direction and launched him into the sky. He was a smaller Autobot, making him an easier subject for the Dinobot to throw, not much weight to push against his strength.

He finally got within range of their leader, he glided closer, closer, and closer, until he finally grabbed hold of Optimus, he made sure his grip was firm, he looked to Jetfire and aimed his grappling hook. "Jetfire, CATCH!" he shot the long, rope beam, Jetfire transformed and grabbed it as soon as it was in arms reach. He activated hit thrusters, trying to slow down the fall, until the force of the fall finally went away from his strength pushing against it, he looked down at Jazz and Optimus, they did it just in time too, they were maybe fifty feet from the ground.

He sighed with relief and slowly lowered them onto the torn up pavement. They all rushed over to Optimus, Jazz got up, shaking off what had just happened, until he felt a hand in his back stop him, he turned to see Blackwolf, smiling at him. "You did good, Jazz. If not for you, Optimus wouldn't have lived through that fall." he finished, turning back to the crowd, gathered around their leader, until Ratchet ordered them to back up, give him some work room.

Suddenly Optimus's optics slowly opened, seeing his family all around him, he smiled before realizing where they were, he sighed, remembering the world knew about them now, but that could wait. "Autobot's, though our secret may be exposed, and many have payed the ultimate price, I am honored to stand beside this family, for today, all of you fought as true Primes'." he finished, tired from the battle.

Ultra Magnus's ship flew in as static came over Blackwolf's communicator until clearing out. "Blackwolf, is Optimus alright?!" he asked, worried for their leader.

"He's better than ever, Magnus." he chuckled along with the old commander.

"Then in human dialect, you did one hell of a job soldier!" he finished, Blackwolf felt like a true member of this family at those words.

"But Optimus, the Decepticons' are still out there, and We don't have a base anymore." Bumblebee sighed, upset that their foes escaped.

"Yes, they still live, but as long as we remain alive, we shall continue to resist them." he explained, finally standing up, in his proud stature.

"Besides, Fowler informed me that the government's constructing a new base, so we don't need to worry about a roof over our heads." Blackwolf chuckled.

Though the battle was won, the war was not, the Decepticons were still alive, but that wouldn't stop team prime from fighting.
