Both autobots and decepticons gained many minicons, and also more warriors. The autobots had gained Smokescreen and Sideways, and the decepticons none. But all that didn't matter now, for now they sought out the star saber, They were one of the most powerful minicon weapons in the universe.

Megatron had one of the minicons that created the sword and he used it to find the others. The others rested in the autobot base and they invaded it.

"ERR, how could the decepticons invade our base?!" growled Hot Shot looking through the monitors. "What could they be looking for . . . our minicons?"

"I don't think so Hot Shot," said Optimus looking at the mincon on Megatron's shoulder. "He seems to be following that minicon."

"Well whatever he's doing I'm gonna stop him!" said Hot Shot running off.

"Hot Shot no!" said Optimus trying to stop him, but he was already gone.

Hot Shot tried and failed to stop Megatron and now he found his way to the other two minicons. Optimus tried to stop him, but it was too late. They had combined to create the star saber.

"The star saber is mine!" Megatron laughed as he held it up.

But Optimus wouldn't allow Megatron to control one of the most powerful weapons in the universe. Optimus had managed to knock the star saber out of Megatron's hand and it flew right into Hot Shot's. Hot Shot gazed at the glowing sword in his hand. He knew this indeed was a powerful weapon that he could make the decepticons cringe under him.

Hot Shot then grinned as he looked at the pathedic decepticon leader. He then took the sword and charged at him cutting off one of his horns. Megatron was angered by this. A simple autobot youth had managed to cut one of his horns off.

The decepticons had no choice but to retreat and so the autobots had gained one of the most powerful weapons in the universe . . . the star saber.

"Can you believe it fell right into my hands?" smiled Hot Shot running his hands up and down the magnificent sword.

"Optimus, sir, do you think it is such a good idea to let Hot Shot weild such a weapon?" asked Red Alert.

Optimus didn't say anything, he just gazed at Hot Shot wondering if he should. Hot Shot was good with the blade, but he had only learned how to wield one by television. He would need special training to wield that sword, but he knew Hot Shot would just say he didn't need anything. He feared Hot Shot getting into a fight with Starscream, for Starscream could truly wield a blade.

Later the decepticons gained a new warrior by the name of Scavenger. He was Optimus' old trainer and Hot Shot found out the hard way.

"Then why is he a decepticon Optimus?" asked Hot Shot wanting to know.

"It's a long story," said Optimus.

"Well I have all the time in the world," said Hot Shot leaning back.

"Hhh, Hot Shot," started Optimus.

But then Sideways walked in the room and interrupted them.

"Hey Hot Shot, how 'bout we have a go at it?" he asked.

"Can I use my Star saber?" asked Hot Shot.

"Sure, why not?" Sideways shrugged.

"Sweet! catch ya later Optimus," Hot Shot said running outside.

Optimus was somewhat relieved. He sat down and began to think of many things. Hot Shot enjoyed weilding the sword, for he could beat anything that stood in his way.

"I love this baby," he grinned looking at its blue glow.

"Hey don't get too cocky Hot Shot," said Smokescreen.

"Hey, you know me," smiled Hot Shot.

"That is exactly my point," sighed Smokescreen.

"Hey I heard that," said Hot Shot.

"Yea, I know," sighed Smokescreen again.

Later that day they got into fight with the decepticons and Hot Shot and Sideways were accidently teleported back to the decepticon base with them.

"NO! We have to find them!" said Optimus running back into their base.

Hot Shot tried to escape, but he only found that Sideways was truly a decepticon and he had double-crossed him to get the star saber from him. Hot Shot had lost the star saber to Starscream. Hot Shot was then beaten by the decepticons. Scavenger watched as Hot Shot was crushed to find out about Sideways.

Hot Shot just gave up after he had lost the star saber. He had lost what he thought was a friend, and he had lost a powerful weapon that will now be used against his true friends.

Why? thought Hot Shot.

"Take that you stinkin' autobot!" said Demolisher and Cyclonus as they kicked and hit him.

Scavenger new Hot Shot. He knew who he truly was, and he would not allow the decepticons to take his life.

"Wait," said Scavenger stepping beside Megatron. "Don't kill him."

"Why not?" said Megatron. "He has humiliated us long enough, just like Prime."

"Send him back to the autobots as a warning. Let them know you mean business in this war for the minicons," said Scavenger.

Megatron pondered on the thought for a moment then said-

"Yes . . . send him back."

Megatron then left. Scavenger then came to the decepticons beating Hot Shot up and shoved them away. he took a hold of Hot Shot's arm and pulled him over his shoulder.

"Hey, what are you doin'?" asked Demolisher looking at him.

"Yea, you're taking away all our fun," laughed Cyclonus.

Scavenger just gave them a hard mean glare that made them both shut up. Scavenger then went to the portal and locked in the coordinates where the autobot base was and teleported there. There he took Hot Shot down and swung his arm around his shoulder. Hot Shot then came back to consciousness.

"There you go Hot Shot," said Scavenger helping the dazed autobot in the right direction. "Go back to your father."

He then let Hot Shot go and watched him until he found his way back to the autobot base. Scavenger then smiled and left. The autobots all turned as they saw an injured Hot Shot walk through the door.

"HOT SHOT!" said Optimus seeing his son nearly beaten to death.

"Sideways, he's . . ." But then Hot Shot fell to the ground unconscious.

"Red Alert get Hot Shot to the medical bay, stat!" ordered Optimus.

"Yes sir," said Red Alert as he and Smokescreen ran and got Hot Shot to the medical bay.

"Optimus?" started the kids.

"Not now," Optimus said leaving in anger.

"Gosh, I hope he'll be okay," said Carlos.

"Me too Carlos," said Rad. "Me too."

Optimus was greatly angered at seeing Hot Shot the way he was, but the kids wasn't too sure they knew why. Hot Shot was recovering in the medical bay when Optimus came to visit him. Hot Shot was still unconscious though when he would visit him. Even though Optimus wasn't there on the moon he knew what had happened.

"Sideways you will pay for what you did to my child," said Optimus gazing at him son.

He was so fragile in Optimus' optics, so young. He was only 19,990 years, only 10 years away from 20,000 years. Optimus wanted his son to see his 20th millennium. He wanted his son to live.

The next day when Hot Shot awoke he wasn't in the mood to talk about anything that happened on the moon that day. Optimus wanted to find out how he survived but Hot Shot wouldn't tell him nothing.

"Why does he have to be so stubborn?" said Optimus growing tired of his attitude.

"He takes after his father that's why," came a voice.

"Scavenger?!" said Optimus seeing his old master step out of the shadows of the mountains. "What are you doing here?"

"Thought I'd pay you a visit," smiled Scavenger in a mysterious way.

"Were you the one who saved my son?" asked Optimus.

"Scavenger shook his head and said-

"Yes I did. You know the high council would kill us if he died."

Optimus let out a small chuckle and said-

"You're probably right."

He then ceased his laughter and remembered the past.

"I remember when they first saw him . . . he was so small, said Optimus remembering that day when the high council first saw him."

FLASHBACK

Optimus sat in a white hospital chair rocking his small son in his arms. His son was so small that he could fit in the palm of his hand. He was born too early, but he was a fighter. he didn't give up on life and for that Optimus was glad.

After he felt his son slowly wiggle on his shoulder he heard them coming . . . the high council.

"Where is he?!" they said coming through the hall.

They then spotted Optimus through the glass wall and came to him.

"Let me see it!" they said clomoring around him. "It it a boy or girl?!"

Optimus held his son away from the crowding transformers but soon he began to cry.

"I had just gotten him to be quiet!" sighed Optimus holding his son to his chest.

"A boy huh? Yes we knew you would have a son," they said looking at the tiny child. "He is so small. How will he take up the matrix when you are gone?"

"It's called growing," said Optimus getting annoyed by them.

He then put his son under his chin and began to hum a small lullaby and then began to stop his crying.

"There you go little one," whispered Optimus.

"Um, we heard about Elita One," they started. "We are so sorry for her beath."

Optimus just looked down with sad optics.

"We will miss her. She was a good warrior and we know she would have made a great mother."

"It's all she ever dreamt about," said Optimus remembering what she was like when she was pregnant with their son.

"How is your son fairing?" they asked.

"The doctors said if he doesn't eat he won't live," said Optimus.

"Well those doctors better get him eating soon. After all we don't want him dieing on us. The matrix has been passed from the eldest line ever since the first Prime."

"You don't think I know?" chuckled Optimus. "I was pretty much forced into this position."

"Do you not like being Prime?" they asked.

"Who else would do it not for me?" asked Optimus. "My brother doesn't want it, and Jetfire, the one you picked to be my sucessor if anything were to happen to my line, is too young."

"True, let's us hope your son wants to take the matrix," said the high council.

"I didn't have a choice so why does he?" asked Optimus shutting the high council up. "But when he comes to know this war I hope he fights for the same reason I fight for . . . peace."

END FLASHBACK

"Thank-you for saving him Scavenger," said Optimus.

"Yes, keep a good eye on him Optimus, I fear he's a little too much like you," said Scavenger disappearing into the shadows.
