Previously on last chapter of Transformers Prime…
"The planetary, to which the prophecy refers, is nearly upon us." Optimus declared. "When the 47 spheres align, a perpetual conflict will culminate upon a world forged from chaos. And the weak shall perish in the shadow of a rising darkness." Sky recited to her human friends. Megatron shot a fatal dark energon blast at Bumblebee, who skidded to a stop in the middle of the desert highway. In the backseat, Raf's limp hand slumped against the backpack and Sky's limp hand slumped against Raf's toy car and remote controller, which both had fallen to the floor of the backseat. "NO!" Prowl screamed, as he fired a shot from one of his blasters at Megatron.
"The flaming mountain from my visions!" Megatron gasped, as he flew over a volcano, "The place from which I am to harvest dark energon!" "I need them over here! NOW!" Ratchet cried, as Jack wheeled Raf and Miko wheeled Sky over and into the medicine chamber. "Megatron, today you answer for your crimes against Cybertron and humanity." Optimus declared. "Pulse rate on both of them is stabilizing." June reported happily, as Raf and Sky opened their eyes. "It seems the blood of Unicron I've been seeking is NOT out there. But, rather right here!" Megatron declared, as he raised his blade high. "We need to get Optimus out of there! NOW!" Ratchet exclaimed.
"Why is dark energon erupting from beneath the Earth?" Optimus asked himself, his optics widening as if to say 'Whoa! Where did you come from?', as Megatron began to speak. "A question, Optimus that you shall take to your grave." Megatron proclaimed, as he went to lower his blade. "Not if I can help it!" A male voice called out at them. Megatron was agape once again, as a shot from a blaster hit him square in the chest plates, knocking him off of Optimus. A ground bridge portal had opened before him. The first to come out was the shot from a blaster that was fired at the Decepticon leader. Following the shot was Ironhide, who was completely pissed off that Megatron was going to kill his leader.
"Stay away from our leader, Optimus Prime!" Ironhide growled, as he fried at Megatron again. "Ironhide?" Optimus gasped quietly, seeing his weapon specialist help save his life. Bulkhead followed Ironhide out of the portal moments later, surprising Optimus. Deciding to give Ironhide a helping hand, Bulkhead tackled Megatron to the ground and made it easy for the weapon specialist to fire shots from his blasters at him. Acree jumped out of the portal next, and she stood in front of Optimus ready to fight to protect him. But, when she saw the purple smoke and flames erupting from the volcano, she had a hard time believing what she was seeing before her very optics. "Quickly! We must pull him through!" Ratchet cried, as he jumped out of the portal and raced to Optimus' side, "Ironhide! Bulkhead! Come on!" He called out to them. "No! Not yet!" Ironhide objected, as he fired a shot from his blasters at Megatron once again… only to be shot by Megatron himself. "IRONHIDE!" Bulkhead screamed to his down team mate, he ran over to him and helped him to his peds slowly, but gently.
"Ugh, did anyone get the number of the truck that hit me?" Ironhide groaned, as he shakes the dizziness from his helm. Once Ironhide was alright and on his peds again, Acree called out to both of them, "BULKHEAD! IRONHIDE! NOW! NOW! NOW!" Immediately, Ironhide transformed to his black pickup truck form and drove straight through the ground bridge, and would transform to his robot from once in the base. Acree and Ratchet helped carried and pulled Optimus through the portal next. Then finally, Bulkhead transformed and drove at high speeds to catch out. With a blade covered in purple flames, Megatron ran after them.
There were only inches between Megatron and Bulkhead transformed one again and jumped through the portal. With a roar of determination, Megatron swung his blade at the portal… only to have it close in front of him. With a growl of frustration, Megatron removed the blade from the ground and retracted it back into his arm. He glanced at his clawed digits and saw purple liquid covering them. It was dark energon and Megatron had hit the mother lode. "This is merely the beginning! I now possess enough dark energon to reanimate Unicron himself! YES!" Megatron cheered.
(Autobot base)
Bumblebee typed in the necessary commands into the computer and lowered the handles that activated the ground bridge. When he did, Bulkhead and Ratchet came through supporting a severely weakened Optimus towards a berth next to Raf's and Sky's stretchers. Acree and Ironhide followed behind them just before the portal closed. Ironhide was doing ok from the shot that Megatron gave him early was wearing off slowly on him. "Easy, Optimus. From the looks of things, you've been exposed to massive amount of dark energon." Ratchet observed. "I am not the only one." Optimus reminded him, as he pointed to Raf and Sky who was once again being check over by June at the same time, and sitting down on the berth. "Hey." Raf repeated weakly. "Hi uncle Optimus." I said to him weakly.
"Their lucky to be alive." June scrawled at Optimus, as I scowled at June for the tone she used on Optimus. "Megatron found more of the dark stuff?" Jack guessed, as he and Miko walked down the stairs. "Oh yeah he did!" Ironhide nodded. "A whole volcano full." Acree piped in. "But, the question is how?" Jazz remarked. "No. The question is what? As in, what in the world is the Blood of Unicron doing here on Earth?" Ratchet corrected. "The cons killed a unicorn?" Miko misunderstood, confusing all of the Autobots, "White horse with a horn in its head? Prance around all sparkly?" She told them, as I snickered at this quietly. "Unicron. An ancient evil whose fossilized blood comprises the matter which we call dark energon. As legend would have it." Ratchet corrected Miko. "So you're saying that this Unicron is some kind of boogeyman?" June surmised. "Boogeyman?" Ratchet repeated in confusion.
"Make believe big guy who hides in your closet." Miko clarified. "I always thought the boogeyman was a guy made of boogies to me, but my old papa told me wrong and it is what Miko said." I commented to them. "No, Nurse Darby. Unicron is very real. Was… that is… while I do believe he once existed, I just don't describe to the theory that his primordial life force is the substance which harmed Raf and Sky." Ratchet stammered. "I've heard enough. Jack, please help me get Raf and Sky into the car." June requested before, wheeling both Raf and Sky away, earning protests from Bumblebee, Prowl, and Ratchet. "Mum, I thought they were doing better." Jack protested. "Raf and Sky needs to be examined by real doctors. And Raf's family needs to know what happened," June retorted, before adding, "His REAL family! And Sky needs to be with a human family not some Autobot family!" "What! Oh hell no! She can't do that can she daddy?" I asked looking at dad, but dad was silence since he had no answer to that. I sighed knowing there was any anyway.
"Mom, Raf's family can't protect him from dark energon and Decepticons forces. Not even a new family or you taking care of Sky either. Not like they can!" Jack objected, as he pointed to the Autobots. "June," Optimus started, as Acree helped him stand up, "It deeply grieves me that I failed. But, I will do in my power to ensure that no harm to our human friends, adopted niece, or any other human ever again." "Optimus, they're children. They do not belong in your war. They should be worrying about grades! Prom dates! Pimples! Not their own survival!" June cried. I growled, "Look lady-" But, I was cut off by dad hushing me and to not let my anger get the best of me. So, instead I shut up, but still glared hard at June. "Mom, dark energon is pouring out of the Earth. It doesn't do that. This could be about everyone's survival. Not just ours." Jack then reminded her. "You're coming with me. All four of you!" June declared, "And they will NOT be coming back." "I understand." Optimus sighed.
"Optimus you can be serious about this. What about all the things we all went through with you guys?" I asked. "Sky, I know that as my niece if the current danger wasn't looming around us, I, Prowl, and everyone else would fight until our last breath to keep you here at base with us as your adopt family. But, matters of safety are at hand for you and the other kids, so please you need to go with June it will be safer this way." Optimus sighed. Dad was struggling with letting me stay here at base safe with him and everyone else in my adopt family or do want Optimus said and let his adopt daughter go with June to be safe. He just sighed through his vents not knowing what to think on either situation at hand for her. "That it? After all we've been through together? See ya? What about our freedom to choose?" Miko cried, as I nodded in agreement with my best friend here. "Yeah! It IS in the constitution of the United States of America that we have freedom of speech, which gives us the freedom to choose." I piped in.
"That may fly on their planet. But, not here on Earth!" June cut in, as she helped Raf inside of her car and drags a protesting and grumpy Sky in her car as well, sitting next to Raf, "Get in!" She told the other two still not in her car. "Do you really expect me to get into a non-transforming vehicle?" Miko scoffed. "Miko, I'm serious." June warned. "You're not my mother." Miko retorted. "Miko." Bulkhead started nervously. "Neither are you!" Miko snapped, surprising Bulkhead, "I'm staying here." She then announced to us. "Miko, that may be true, but Jack, I'm yours. Let's go." June said. Jack looked nervous on deciding to go or stay. "She is you mom." Acree sighed sadly, as she stepped forward. Jack glanced at Acree, and instantly his mind was made up on the spot, as he walked over to Miko's side to clearly show his mother he was staying here at base. "I'm staying as well. I'm sorry mom." Jack proclaimed to his mother.
June didn't say anything, as she was too angry to. Her child, Jack, had defied her. He and Miko wanted to stay and risk their lives for a war that doesn't concern them. Then, she decided to deal with the fact that he just spoke for himself later. Right now, she had to get Raf and Sky to the emergency room and give them medical help. She turned sharply on her heals and stormed towards her car and Raf and Sky inside. However, before she could close the door on Raf and Sky, they both jumped down and ran away. Raf towards his guardian, and Sky towards her guardian/boyfriend and her dad.
Immediately, Bumblebee knelt down to Raf to hug him tightly, but gently as well, as Ratchet and Prowl knelt down to Sky to hug her tightly, but gently as well too. "I love you, Bee!" Raf sobbed, as he was going to miss his guardian a lot. "Love ya too, Raf." Bee beeped to Raf. "I love ya Ratch and daddy!" I sobbed. "We love you too, Sky." Dad and Ratchet said at the same time, as she was going to miss her guardian/boyfriend and daddy a lot as well. Prowl, Bumblebee, and Ratchet looked at Raf and me and said together, "We'll find you two when it's safe. We promise." Before we could do anything, June came along and dragged us back to her car. As soon as Raf and Sky was secured in the back seat, June climbed in behind the steering wheel. Miko and Jack just stood where they were watching this happen before them, nothing they could do to stop it at all. "Ratchet, activate the ground bridge." Optimus instructed. "No thank you!" June objected, before racing away.
Raf and Sky peered out the back window, staring at Bumblebee, Prowl, and Ratchet until they disappeared from sight. Sky then dug out a photo of all of them together taken when they were all having fun at the beach one day. She clutched the photo to her chest and cried, saddened that she will never see her adopt family again. Raf tried to comfort her, as he too was sad about it. "Prime! Do you copy?" Agent Fowler's voice called out from the computer screen. "I hear you, Agent Fowler." Optimus answered, as he walked forward. "Been watching the news? Mother Nature's got a twitch in her bridges." Agent Fowler's voice announced to them. "We know about the volcano." Optimus said. "And the quakes? Seven major trembles of the same magnitude at the exact same time, as the volcanic eruption. All over the globe. On different tectonic plates. In theory, unrelated. If they hadn't happened…" Agent Fowler's voice started explaining to them.
"At the exact same time." Ratchet finished for Agent Fowler. "That's impossible!" Prowl protested, as Jack and Miko raced up the stairs to see and hear for themselves as well. "Check it out! More good news." Miko remarked, as she turned up the volume of the television. "Freak storms unlike any of the region has seen. Tsunamis threaten the Canadian coast, while lightning storms pummel the Gobi Desert. Meanwhile, electromagnetic anomalies plague urban power grids. These abnormal global phenomena are leaving most to wonder why now? And what next?" The news person said on the TV. "Don't tell me your cons have built a weather machine!" Agent Fowler's voice exclaimed over the computer screen. "One that powerful? Highly unlikely. As Prowl put it moments ago, that's impossible!" Ratchet objected. "I do not believe the appearance of dark energon at this point in time to be coincidental." Optimus rumbled. Everyone looked worried and concern about this happening, mostly worried and concern about June, Raf, and Sky out there in it.
(Desert highway)
June continued to drive along the desert highway with Raf and Sky in the backseat. She's staying true to her promise of taking Raf and Sky to the emergency room and that they will never come back to Autobot Outpost Omega One base. Which means Raf may never see Bumblebee again, and Sky may never see her boyfriend, Ratchet, and her papa again either. The thought alone made both of them sad about it, and the sighed out quietly to themselves, as they gave each other comfort as much as possible. Sky was then in a grumpy mood from June taking her away from her family and boyfriend and not giving her a choice in the matter at hand either. Raf decided to occupy himself during the time being. Whenever lightning struck, he counted, "One, one hundred. Two, one hundred." He said quietly to himself.
June decided she needed to talk to Raf and Sky. They all hadn't spoken a word since they left. They spent most of the trip crying or looking sad at what they had lost. So, she decided a conversation is what they would need to lighten the mood a bit. Considering they also don't have the radio playing in the car. So, they're oblivious to what is actually going on. "You ok back there, Raf?" June asked him first, as she adjusted the rear view mirror to see us better. "I saw lightning. I'm counting until the thunder-," Raf explanation was cut off by a clap of thunder, causing them to physically wince. "Looks like a storm," June laughed nervously, "My garden will love it."
I scoffed at what she said, as she looked at me, "You ok back there too, Sky?" She asked me then. I looked at her with a glare, "I'm not talking to you, June. Not after what you done, by taking me away from my adopted family." I growled out at her. She sighed, "Sky, I had to do what was best for you." She said to me. "What best for me! I was perfectly fine there, but-" I was cut off by June gasping from lightning that struck the road just mere inches away from her car. Immediately, she began to lose control of the car and began to swerve around the road. She tried to regain control of the car, but the lightning hitting the road made the task virtually impossible. Eventually, the car did a complete 360-degree spin and crashed into a power pole situated next to the road. Both driver and passengers alike were panting, clearly shaken up from their close encounter with death.
"Raf and Sky, are you both ok?" June asked nervously, earning a hum from the 12-year-old and a 'yes' reply from a black hair with blue highlights teen girl in the backseat, "What that?" Raf and I said at the same time. They all heard the sounds if wailing wind, as they saw leaves drifting past them. Then, they looked ahead and saw the cause of the strong winds and wailing sounds. It was a tornado! June thought that this was strange and an impossible occurrence. Jasper, Nevada has never experienced a tornado… well, according to recent history, at least. "No!" June exclaimed, as she tried to drive away, "Come on! Come on! Come on!" But, the force of the tornado was too strong. Rather than allowing the car to drive away, it pulled it forward every time it reversed even a millimeter.
They were struck, and everything June tried to get away would only wine up being in vein. The tornado began to shift around the general area, edging closer to June, Raf, and Sky. When June finally began to reverse away from the power line, the tornado began to lift them up. Immediately, June's main concern was Raf's and Sky's safety. Occasionally, she sent nervous glances towards the pre-teen and teen in the backseat. Raf and Sky were scared as well. Thankfully for them, their savior was just pulling up onto the scene. And their savior was none other than, Bumblebee. He transformed into his bipedal mode and race forward towards the white car. Just when the tornado began to pull them in, Bumblebee jumped up and grabbed the hood. Bumblebee felt his peds begin to slide, as he nearly lost his balance. The tornado was beginning to pull him in as well. He needed to find solid support and fast. He then saw a power pole nearby it was perfect to use. He began to walk towards it, fighting the strength of the tornado pulling him in.
He barely hung onto it, as the pole was beginning to creak underneath the wind and his strength. He turned to June, Sky, and Raf inside, "Climb onto my hand quickly you three." Bee beeped his instructions to us. "He wants us to climb into his hand." I translated for June. Bumblebee could only hope that they understood and climbed onto his servo and fast, because he didn't know how much longer he can resist the tornado's strength. He then saw Raf beginning to climb out of the back-left window of the car, followed by Sky herself. He looked down and saw the power pole creating an even larger hole in the ground, until it flew out completely. Bumblebee immediately reached out for the car with his now free servo. Raf, June, and Sky were now sitting on the hood slowly edging towards Bumblebee's servos.
Raf and Sky decided to take a chance and jumped onto Bumblebee's servos. June went to do the same, however, the rest of the car ripped away from the hood lid. Bumblebee, Sky, and Raf all gaped at the sight of the car flying towards the tornado. However, they all sighed in relief, when they saw June haul herself up. There was no time to waste right now. Not with the time of the prophecy looming over them all. So, as soon as Raf, Sky, and June were secured inside, Bumblebee drove back towards the base at high speeds. "Thanks you." June panted in relief that they were all safe and sound. "You're welcome." Bee bleeped to her. "He says your welcome." Raf translated this time to her, with a nod.
(Decepticon base/ship)
The volcano was surrounded by numerous crystals of dark energon. Decepticon miners were on the scene within seconds. Drilling and collecting the dark energon that Megatron desperately sought for almost four years to the day. The Decepticon lord himself was even more possessed by the substance than before as the 47 spheres remained aligned, everything changed. For both Autobots and Decepticons alike.
"Rivers of your life blood! Rising from the depths to become one with me!" Megatron rasped happily, before exclaiming in pain. He was having another vision. This one was more vivid than the previous vision he had of the 'flaming mountain' that was sprouting dark energon from beneath. The explosions from the volcano were stronger than before. Purple cracks broke through the ground, spreading across the entire planet. And finally… it happened. The Earth was destroyed.
(Autobot base)
Everyone inside Autobot Outpost Omega One base watched Bumblebee returned. They had heard that there was trouble involving Raf, Sky, June, and the tornado. Bumblebee was immediately dispatched to help their friends escape death. Miko and Jack sighed in relief, and then smiled to one another, as they ran down the stairs. When Bumblebee slowed to a stop, he opened his doors and June, Raf, and Sky stepped out of the muscle car. Immediately, Sky ran towards her dad, Prowl, who scooped her up in his servo, as him wrap his other servo around her in a hug. Sky returned the hug, as she exclaimed, "I miss you daddy! And you too Ratchet!" Prowl's and Ratchet's reply was a smiled to that. Bee transformed back to his robot mode, with Raf and June getting hugs by Jack and Miko, all happy for them to be safe and sound. I turned to the other once the whole hug fest was over, "We're back." I said awkwardly.
"And we are glad." Ratchet sighed in relief knowing that us three out in that storm was alright, mostly his girlfriend at the least. He did not want to lose her at all in his and her life time. "Are you alright mom?" Jack asked in worry, as he stepped forward to his mother and Miko and Raf stayed where they were behind him. "I will be. Jack," June started. "Mom, I…" Jack trailed off. "I know." June nodded, as she hugged him again, "But you are ground until your 30... 25." Jack groaned quietly at that, as I snickered and he shot me a glare for it. I just shrugged my shoulders and then turned to June, "June about my behavior early at base and in your car…" I trailed off. June looked at me, "I know Sky. This is your family now, and I should of not taking you away from them. I am sorry." June said to me. "No, I am sorry for it. I should not of let my anger take over me like the bots told me not to anyway. But, I accept your apology for it too." I said to her. "Same here Sky. Same here." June said. And it was settle at that and now June and I are now on equal terms.
"World leaders are classifying these bizarre weather patterns as a global emergency." The news person said on the TV. "Global?" June repeated in disbelief. "And scientists believe the phenomena is somehow related to the current planetary alignment." The news person then said on the TV. "What have you learned, Prime? And you better not blow smoke up my-!" Agent Fowler began ranting, before noticing the new presence in the room, "Ms. Darby. What a nice surprise." "Special Agent Fowler." June greeted him, as I giggled quietly on Ratchet's shoulder plating, where dad put me after I told him I wanted to be place there. Ratchet just smirked at my cute giggling and then he got serious afterwards, "We have learned this. As with the so-called magma from the volcano, these earthquakes originated far below the Earth's crust. From the very center of Earth's core, in fact," Ratchet began explaining. "Quakes don't start there! Fowler protested, before turning to June, "Do they?"
"Tremors rising and falling in a consistent pattern. Almost like…," Ratchet trailed off, as he studied the wavelengths of the tremors, the realization slowly coming to him, "By the Allspark! If I convert these data points to audio files…" "What? What is it?" Agent Fowler demanded, as I looked at my boyfriend with a questionable look on my face. "Listen." Ratchet whispered was all that he said to us. When Ratchet began playing the audio file, everyone immediately began to listen. They heard a consistent drumming playing through the speakers. Felt the vibrations, as well. Ba-boom. Ba-boom. Ba-boom. The bots and humans standing around the main room began to realize what it was that they were listening to. I felt a little freak out, as my body stiffen from the shock of what it was running through my body, Ratchet rub my back in comfort to calm me down a bit. The humans look at each other in worry, knowing this meant danger and they want to protect one another with every fiber of their being, as the same goes for the bots.
(Decepticon base/ship)
Aboard the Nemesis, Soundwave was playing the same audio file to Megatron and Barricade. Barricade knew that the sound was bothering his lord badly, so he decided to do something about it. "Stop Soundwave!" Barricade requested. "Turn it off! I can still hear the pounding in my brain!" Megatron moaned.
(Autobot base)
"A cybertronian heartbeat?" Jack gasped in disbelief. "That can't be! It's not possible!" I whispered. "Sky's right. A heart pumps blood. There's nothing inside the Earth to pump!" June protested, "Except…" "The Blood of Unicron!" Raf realized.
(Elsewhere deep down in the Earth's core)
"I have awakened…" Said a very dark and evil-like mech voice.
(Autobot base)
"Ok. Hold on. You mean something's living down there? INSIDE our planet?" Miko surmised in disbelief. "I fear that Earth's very core is not comprised of magma, as your scientists suggested. But, of dark energon." Optimus declared. "And if we're hearing his spark," Jazz started. "Then Unicron is the rising darkness the prophecy foretold." Ironhide finished. "So, how do we stop this thing from rising?" Agent Fowler asked the question that was on everybody's mind. "That, I'm afraid, was not foretold." Optimus rumbled sadly. "How can something be in our Earth's core and be alive?" June wanted to know. "Such a thing is not unprecedented." Optimus sighed. I sighed knowing that uncle Optimus was going to tell us a history story. "I think it's time for a history lesson." I remarked, as Raf, Miko, and Jack joined June and Agent Fowler by the railing, "Because we can't stop something we don't know about. And you know how Optimus is when telling stories about Cybertron past like this." "She has a point." Jack agreed with me.
Optimus sighed through his vents, before beginning to tell the story to us all, "In the beginning there was Primus and there was Unicron. One the incarnation of creation. The other of destruction. For eons, Primus and Unicron battled. The balance of powers shifting between them more times than could be counted. Only by creating the Thirteen, the original Primes that proceeded me, was Primus finally able to defeat Unicorn and cast him out. Primus became one with the very core of our plane, creating life through the Well of Allsparks for existing Cybertronians to bare. Unicron was never to be heard from again… until now." Optimus finished telling his story to us. "Maybe we can find the home of this uber con, dig our way down there, and fill it with explosives." Agent Fowler suggested. "Whoa, whoa, whoa! And risk blowing up the planet along with him?" I protested.
"Sky is right. I do not believe that the Earth became Unicron's home. But, rather that with time and gravitational force, debris collected around the slumbering titian," Dad started. "Forming your Earth itself." Ratchet finished. "And he's only awakening now because of the magnetic pull created by the planetary alignment." Acree realized. "Ok. Well, what happens now when Unicron wakes up from his billionaire nap?" Jack asked. "Yeah. Does he stretch and… KA-POW!... Earth proofs to dust?" Miko guessed. Optimus didn't answer her question, in fact no Autobot did. It made us humans worry and concern about this event happening right now. "You don't know, do you?" June realized. "My guess is Unicron has consented physical from as we know it. Nonetheless, we must find a way to make sure that this force of nature never fully awakens. The fate of your planet depends on it." Optimus declared.
(Decepticon base/ship)
"Lord Megatron, our cargo is nearly filled with the dark substance. I recommend a retreat. The troops are growing weak from its effects." Airachnid reported. "And yet I grow stronger," Megatron murmured, before turning to Airachnid and Barricade, "Airachnid, Barricade, the two of you are in command until I return." "Your return from where, Lord Megatron?" Barricade asked curiously. "From my audience with Unicron." Megatron answered, as he walked away.
Megatron found himself flying back towards the volcano where he collected the dark energon sprouting from the Earth and he nearly defeated Optimus Prime. True to his word, he intends to have an audience with Unicron the Destroyer. And only way to do that is to stand before the mouth of the volcano. Megatron transformed and stood at the edge of the volcano's erupting mouth. "I feel your presence. Share your very spark. I call on you as my lord and master, Oh Mighty Unicron!" Megatron spoke out. Lightning flashed and thunder clapped all around the Decepticon master. Thick, dark purple smoke began to rise from the deep recesses of the volcano. Before long, Megatron could see glowing purple optics. And the face plate of Unicron appeared before him.
"Who would speak to me?" Unicron's voice rang out. "Your servant most humble," Megatron answered, as he knelt before him, "Megatron. Leader of the Decepticons. And your very herald. The one who wielded the dark energon which binds us. To awaken you once again. The prophecy has been fulfilled! It is only the beginning of what we shall accomplish. Together! For you shall rule this planet those who walk upon it through me!" "Prideful fool! How dare you think yourself capable of summoning my life force! I rise because I deemed it my time!" Unicron's voice sneered. "Master! I did not mean to overstep," Megatron began to apologize. "Silence, worm! I have no need of your lowly assistance." Unicron's voice hissed.
'So THIS is how Starscream must have felt when I was treating him this way…' Megatron thought to himself, as he fell onto his knees, "Please, my lord. I exist only to serve you." "What is this I sense? The taint of Primus? Here?" Unicron's voice questioned. "That is Optimus, the last of the Primes. Our swore enemy." Megaton clarified, as he stood on his peds. "You swear loyalty to me. Yet you allow a disciple of Primus to live!" Unicron's voice hissed out. "I will destroy him for you! His screams will be heard!" Megatron declared. "I grow weary of your prattle. Surely, if you had the power to destroy this Prime, you would have done so already. I will deal with him myself." Unicron's voice ranged out. With those words said, Unicron disappeared and the smoke floated back inside the volcano. Megatron stood over the volcano angry. He was disrespected. Grossly disrespected and oh, he will show him!
Optimus found himself walking within a gorge. He was going to do whatever it takes to find out how to get to Unicron and how to defeat him. The fate of the planet and the entire human race depended on his success. And to start things off, Optimus searched the multiple epicenters of the seven earthquakes that occurred at different points of the globe at the same time. He knew that it would do very little to help him locate and defeat Unicron. But, he had to start somewhere. "Ratchet, this epicenter is consistent with the findings of the others. Its terrain is rich in aura." Optimus said over the public com-link. "So what does that tell us?" Agent Fowler voiced the question on everybody's mind. "It follows that the natural meddles in your Earth would be extensions of Unicron. His limbs, if you will." Ratchet answered.
"Ew, you mean the spoons and forks I use for to eat with are part of him. Ew! Gross! Nasty thought to think about!" I commented, as I stick my tongue out being gross out, as Ratchet chuckled at me and then got serious again with this situation like before. "So he did have his morning stretch. Which is why these quakes happened." June grumbled. "Optimus, I'm detecting a swell in Unicron's spark activity." Ratchet warned him. "I will proceed with caution, old friend." Optimus promised. Optimus did the quickest 180-degree turn anyone would see in their lives. For his reactions, the word surprise would be a ridiculous understatement. He was more than surprised when he heard the rocks crumbling and the evil and dark mech voice.
When he turned, he saw glowing purple optics, and a face plate imprinted in the rock before him, as the face plate of Unicron himself. "Unicron. The Chaos Bringer." Optimus identified. "Good…" Unicron's sneered with delight. With that one small word said, his face plate disappeared and rocks crumbled around Optimus. Emerging from the chasm in the wall created was the rock body of a titian. A direct representation of Unicron. Much like the Thirteen Primes, Optimus was direct representation of Primus. Optimus then moved backwards slightly, from surprise and the rumbling Earth rather than absolute fear. Immediately, he knew that he couldn't show what he feared to Unicron, because he feds on his fears or anyone's fear for that matter.
"Now know me as Unicron. YOUR DESTROYER!" Unicron's voice ranged out. Optimus' blades unfolded from his arms in time to block Unicron's attacks. Whenever Unicron moved forward, Optimus moved backwards. Strategically perfect to avoid any attack Unicron served upon him… most of the time anyway. "We humbly request your ear, Lord Unicron," Optimus started. "And what would a Prime be so compelled to say to me?" Unicron's voice hissed. Optimus looked up at Unicron, "I make this appeal not for ourselves. But, for this planet, which you constitute. And the beings who inhabit this world. The entire human race depends on YOU, Lord Unicron. For life. Sustenance. Your resurrection will only result in the destruction of a species, which evolved from the seeds of your very greatness." Optimus brought the debate to the table. "So, this human kind that you, Disciple of Primus, speak. You consider them my progeny?" Unicron's voice questioned him.
"Indeed." Optimus nodded, hoping for a positive outcome from this. "PARASITES! They, too, shall know my wrathful hand. Once I am finished with you." Unicron's voice hissed out. The spike-covered rock swords that made up the rest of Unicron's arms disappeared. Instead, servos that were cybertronian like replaced them. With palms and digit-tips glowing a striking purple. Optimus gasped, as electricity knocked him back. Only… it wasn't electricity. While, lightning shot out of Unicron's servos and attacked his enemy, the lightning wasn't like the ordinary lightning the world sees during every storm. Made up of the static electricity caused by the friction of water and ice particles colliding with one another. But, rather, made up of dark energon itself.
Optimus landed on the ground on his back and rolled onto his front awkwardly. Immediately, Optimus began his struggles to reach his peds. As he fought against an invisible force to rise to his peds, Unicron approached him. "The line of Primes has grown weak during my absence. And thus, you shall fall." Unicron's voice sneered. "Not even YOU, the almighty Unicron, can predict that outcome. But, I can tell you this. It WON'T happen today." Optimus declared, as he finally was able to stand up. Optimus then started shooting from his plasma cannons currently unfolded from his arms, at Unicron's rocky representative. Slowly, Unicron's representative crumbled underneath the force and power of his blasts. Eventually, one combined shot, from both of his plasma cannons, brought him down completely.
Bravely, Optimus stepped forward, as he had defeated a representative of Unicron himself. But, deep down, he knew that this wasn't over. It would take more than simply defeating one of his representatives for all of this to be over. He had to do so much more to finally finish this, but first, he had to survive the obstacles that would be thrown at him. And among the obstacles he had to face were even MORE rocky representatives. Optimus had his plasma cannons still whirling and ready to shoot some more, as Unicron created more representations of himself from the rock piles and cliff faces that surrounded him. He stood his ground ready to fight for all that he had to offer. "Yes, Disciple of Primus. On this very day. For Unicron may be one. But, WE ARE UNICRON!" Unicron's voice roared out.
To be continued in next chapter…
A/N: There done with chapter 25! Again, sorry this took me so long to write and update it on here for you guys to read. Chapter 26 will be up as soon as I get it done soon for you guys. I have a question for you guys, in the sequel of this story later on, should I have Prowl and Jazz be a couple together? Two reasons why I think that, first reason is I know couple chapters ago I did not want to make them a couple, even if it would be a cute one.
I thought on that idea and decided to make those two a couple, because I love Prowl/Jazz as a couple together they make a cute one indeed to me and probable to you guys as well. And second reason is Jazz makes a good mother type to Sky since he is very protective and caring of her like Prowl is. So, typical Jazz is like a mother hen towards Sky's life and all. What do you guys think? Please comment back to me about it, because I really want to do it, but at the same time I don't, so you guys choose for me for the idea.
One another note, you know how I said I had a job interview with T.G.I. Friday's place and all that, well it did go ok, but they were worry about me balancing that job and last year of high school together, so I did not get the job, but I am looking at more jobs though. I got another job interview this Tuesday at 4:30 p.m., at Firehouse Subs place in Grand Rapids on Knapp corner near Celebration Cinema over there. Wish me luck with the interview and I hope I finally get hired for a job soon. So with all that said, hope you like this chapter and please R&R! This is Sky96 signing off, bye!
