One Shall Rise Part Two

Optimus' POV

As I was fighting the stone avatars of Unicron the chaos bringer I did what I could to fight them all before being restrained by two of the stone avatars and as I was trying to use my guns to get out before one of the golems decided to use his club on me. The next thing I saw was several barrages of plasma and several femmes taking several out and I was able to get up on my pedes and after the others managed to take several avatars out. "Did Ratchet not understand my order?" I demanded knowing they had disobeyed me, "reinforcements would only delay your end disciple of Primus." Called Unicron "Optimus you are his target maybe you should consider going back to base." Arcee and Elita-one argued.

"These images of Unicron can locate me anywhere on this planet." I explained to them as all of my team Prime Autobots were fending the stone images of Unicron. I knew the bases shielding would only conceal my location and I was not going to put innocent lives in jeopardy. "Then fall back and let us handle this Prime." Ironhide and Bulkhead said "please listen to their reasons Optimus if you fall and so does the survival of this planet." Ratchet said. I knew they were right and said "very well then."

"Let's move." Declared Arcee and the others followed her including Valkyrie who was serving as a flank on Ironhide's side as she and the others were destroying the stone images of Unicron. I was impressed with how far the former human has come and she was turning out to be an excellent fighter. As we continued to move we then transformed into our vehicle modes to destroy the golems as they began to appear before us.

Valkyrie's POV

Those things were getting larger and larger as we drove to defend Optimus and to be honest this was my first major fight of my life cycle I was ever going to be in. I was surprised Prime himself didn't order any of us to be disciplined any of us for going to him even when he told us not to. As soon as we thought we were nearly out of the tangle of golems we were soon up against the largest one and I knew this was not a good time to feel fear towards the beast.

"Is that Unicron?" asked Bumblebee but Optimus said it was only another of his manifestations I said as the golem towered over us. We couldn't escape him or defeat him but Optimus said to destroy his vessels as they appear until we find a way to destroy the chaos bringer himself, may be easier said than done. Even if we could destroy Unicron how can we do it without destroying the Earth?

Even as the titan loomed over us and we were trying to destroy the manifestation of the destroyer himself we couldn't bring him down. The images continued to knock us down on the ground even as we tried to keep Optimus protected I tried to make sure my crossbow was effective to take care of that thing. Soon I was down but I knew this wasn't over.

Optimus' POV

"Fall". Called the behemoth and soon I was under I some boulders and even if my Autobots tried to help "I am this worlds past, future and present and as of now all Primes are past." He added as I was about to get crushed by his foot. "NO!" screamed the femmes as they tried to get up. The next thing I knew the golem fell and soon became dust as it fell apart.

"I happened" called a familiar voice and soon I was looking up at the canyon wall Megatron was standing on. He then descended and helped me on his feet. "Ironic isn't it Prime." He said as he got me to my feet. I then told him terminating his spark is still an option as I looked him in the optics and he said the same, but then "I have a proposal, join me into defeating our shared enemy, Unicron the chaos bringer.

Ratchet thought the idea was out of the ordinary but I knew he pride would not allow anyone but himself to rule this planet. Megatron went on to describe how I may be able to defeat Unicron and I knew he was right. "He does have a point." Valkyrie said, "Besides with the planet at stake we have nothing to lose." She added and she seemed to understand right away.

Valkyrie's POV

I knew Megatron was right about Optimus being to only one who could defeat the monster within Earth and I was ignoring the looks everyone but Optimus was giving me and I looked into Prime's optic and he knew I caught on better than the others. Megatron while having dark energon inside him could be our only guide to the chaos bringer himself and the sides really didn't matter and even Prime didn't know how the truce would last. The end would be no more if we could and even Earth itself would mutate on the inside.

When the stones began to blow but I asked Ratchet for a ground bridge and while he advised to consider the offer he would keep him busy, while we ran inside. When we returned there was a debate of having Megatron come to base and even June not happy with him near Raf after what he did to him but Optimus reassured them he would be watched and allowed to stay till depart.

I knew we had to take his offer and the other decided to do this for human kind even Jack, Raf and Miko themselves so this means we were taking Megatrons offer and I wasn't sure like Jack said about what would happen if Prime was to use the Matrix of Leadership. As soon as it was decided to take Megatrons offer we tried to his the humans even Miko and I said "you don't want to face him."

Optimus' POV

When we let Megatron in the base he was rather content and soon we heard "you." We looked down to find Raf at our feet, "ah you are looking much better than we last met little one, humans resourceful and resilient." He commented when looking at them. Valkyrie quickly rushed all five of them off into another area in the base. As she did so I motioned her to keep Jack close to her and I got down on my knee and told Jack, "would you keep something for me?" I asked and he said he would and soon the Key to Vector Sigma shrunk down to size to only the size of Jack's hand and told him it was the key to the ground bridge supply.

Soon we left with Megatron leading the way and Raf having Valkyrie give her word she will be alright along with Bumblebee. We soon got into Unicron's body and now to do what needed to be done.
