At the loss of his only son Galvatron decided to join the autobots to destroy the one whom he blamed on killing his son . . . Unicron. Galvatron was mad at everyone. He was mad at himself, at him men, at the autobots, and mostly at Unicron.

Sideways, thought Galvatron as he as he gazed at the monster in the stars. He will pay with his life for what he did to Starscream . . . with his life!

They fought along side each other to detroy Unicron, but wasn't easy. At first they had to find his weak spot and then they had to stop him from destroying cybertron and now they had to find a way in destroyinh the only thing keeping him alive . . . his spark. After Thrust' death Optimus and Galvatron prepared to leave and enter Unicron.

"Are you sure about this Optimus, sir?" asked Jetfire.

"It is the only way to find Hot Shot and destroy Unicron," said Optimus.

"Yea, if he's still alive," mumbled Jetfire.

But all really heard him.

"Jetfire's right Optimus, sir," said Scavenger. "Hot Shot could be dead already and you'll be wasting your time looking for him."

"We can't give up on Hot Shot!" said Optimus in a high tone of voice as he turned to his men. "Would he give up on us?"

At that all were silent. They knew Optimus was right. They knew if it were them trapped in Unicron that Hot Shot would personally see to their rescue.

"It's just Hot Shot has been gone for a long time and . . . well no one would ever survive being in Unicron for so long," said Jetfire.

"Yes, but Hot Shot is tough," said Optimus. "I know he would survive even the hardest of circumstances."

At the way Optimus spoke of Hot Shot Galvatron knew that he was his favorite, but why for what reason?

"We will come back and with Hot Shot safe in our arms," said Optimus as he and Galvatron turned and left.

They entered Unicron and fought their way to his core and there gazed at Unicron's giant spark that glew a bright green.

"Perhaps we can find out where Hot Shot is through this," suggested Optimus as he came to touch it.

After being quiet in thought Galvatron finally said-

"Optimus."

"Yes Galvatron?" said Optimus as he turned to him.

"Tell me," started Galvatron beginning to figure things out. "Why is Hot Shot so important toyou?"

"What are you saying Galvatron?" asked Optimus. "He is one of my men. I treasure them all."

"Ah, but not as much as him," smiled Galvatron coming closer to Optimus.

"What are you implying Galvatron?" said Optimus his tone of voice getting deeper and his optics darker.

"Tell me," smiled Galvatron. "Is he a relative . . . or better yet . . . your son?"

At that Optimus said nothing. He just stood there not moving and not saying a word. How could Galvatron have figured it out?

"Cause I remember a very long time ago that I sent my men to kill that child. Yes they set your house ablaze, but they never saw that child," smiled Galvatron. "It appears your child did live after all. Did you honestly think I wouldn't figure it out? Tell me Optimus . . . does he even know that he's a Prime?"

"I only hid his identity because of transformers like you!" pointed Optimus after learning that it was Galvatron's fault for his separation from his son all those hard years.

"So he is your son," smiled Galvatron. "You were a fool to try and hide this revelation from me Prime."

"So it was you who tried to kill him all those years ago!" growled Optimus. "I might have known."

"This day is full of surprises isn't it?" smiled Galvatron.

Then after a short pause Galvatron's smile vanished as a thought of his own son came to him. He then looked at Optimus and said-

"If I had to lose my son . . . then you have to lose yours too!!"

He then turned his guns to the spark of Unicron and prepared to fire.

"No, Galvatron don't!!" cried Optimus seeing that was the only way to find his son.

"Your Hot Shot will be lost forever . . . just like my Starscream," he sadly smiled as he shot at the spark.

But then these organic wires came and stopped Galvatron. They wrapped around him and then did the same to Optimus. Then their came a deep voice from the giant spark of Unicron saying-

"Did you really think you could stop me like that?"

Then out of the spark came Sideways with that unseen evil grin of his.

"Sideways?!" gasped Optimus struggling to get free.

Then the wires moved and fused Galvatron to them and he went offline.

"Galvatron!" said Optimus as he saw what happened to him.

Sideways just laughed as he told Optimus everything. He told him that Unicron will never be destroyed by the likes of them and he also told him that no one will stop him from destroying cybertron.

"What have you done with Hot Shot Unicron!" growled Optimus.

Sideways (Who was also, somehow, Unicron) just laughed and smirked and said-

"He is here . . . with me."

"Why have you taken him?!" said Optimus struggling to get free. "He had done nothing to you!"

"No, but he has done something for me," he smiled as he came closer to Optimus.

"What are you saying?" gasped Optimus only knowing to hear the worst.

"You see I have used him to lure you Optimus Prime here."

"Why?" asked Optimus not understanding. "Only to kill me, if so then do it!"

"No . . . not to kill you, but to use you," smiled Sideways.

"How?" said Optimus gettng angry.

"You see Unicron has told me that there will come three transformers that will be able to unite you cybertronians together to rise up against us. The three precious gems of you . . . Onyx, which was Wheeljack, Sapphire, which was Starscream, and Ruby which has to be a Prime . . . you. I had thought it was Hot Shot for it said they were going to be young and you have been around for quite some time, but he is not a Prime . . . or is he? You see Optimus I have been wondering about him cause I remember a very long time ago you had a child. I convinced that fool Megatron in his sleep to slaughter that child, but that brat got away! I wonder . . . don't you Optimus?"

Optimus was silent and said nothing. He didn't want Sideways to ever know. Sideways continued to circle Optimus as he said-

"But I will keep him though for he possesses a power that he himself doesn't even know."

"What?" said Optimus confused.

"When I tried to kill him when I was Nemesis Prime he would not die. I attacked his spark so many times and yet he lived. he also sent out a force that showed the minicons where they were. It had also knocked me back from him."

"That was him?!" shouted Optimus remembering that day and that blast.

"Yes, but I will find out how soon enough, In the mean time Optimus fuse with me and you shall have all the power in the universe," bribed Sideways. "And you will be with your Hot Shot forever."

"Never!" spat Optimus.

Then out of nowhere the kids came trying to help free the minicons, but the wires came and did the same thing they did to Galvatron.

"NO!" cried Optimus as he saw this.

"You still have time to think," smiled Sideways as he vanished back into the spark. "Now watch as cybertron is reduced to nothing."

Unicron then moved to attack cybertron and there was nothing Optimus could do about it.

"Sideways had went through Unicron and to the place where Hot Shot was kept. Hot Shot was fused with the wires too into the wall, but he was still online, but barely. Sideways came face to face with the young autobot and said-

"Say farewell to cybertron Hot Shot for you'll never see it again."

Hot Shot's head slowly came up and he looked at Sidways who stood before him just smiling under his faceplate. Hot Shot then grew angry and growled at him and then weakly said-

"I hope you fall in a black hole Sideways!!"

Then the wires moved through his body and made him ache more. He tried to keep his pain in, but he couldn't help letting out little cries of pain.

"There will be more of that when I come back," grinned Sideways as he vanished again.

Sideways then went back into Unicron's spark, but was disturbed by the children trying to free the minicons again.

"Hmp, pathetic fools," he smiled.

But then there came something he didn't exspect . . .they succeeded in waking them up!

"What?!" shouted Sideways in anger. "This can't be happening!"

Then they were freed from their bondagement.

"Thank-you human," said the minicons. "You have set us free from the control of Unicron."

"What just happened?" asked Galvatron as he stood up.

"The children saved us," said Optimus.

Optimus then looked at himself and saw he was changed like when Hot Shot and Red Alert were. But then Sideways came out and came for the kids and minicons.

"You're mine!!" he growled in anger heading right for them.

But then Optimus quickly took the requiem blaster and shot him resulting in his death. Optimus was glad that he could protect again. Then Unicron went limp and it was like he was dead . . . but was he?

Now I'll never find Hot Shot, thought Optimus as he gazed at the useless spark.

Then Galvatron grew greedy and decided to find out who should rule the transformers for good. So Optimus sent the children away and they fought to the death. Both fought long and hard, but neither one would give in to the other. As they fought Unicron started to transform back into his planet form.

The transformers then decided to attack Unicron before he healed all the way. Optimus and Galvatron then took their battle outside and there Optimus beat Galvatron, but Optimus himself was badly hurt. Galvatron saw this and so named himself victor.

"Bonvoyage Optimus, looks like I win," he laughed as he stood up.

But then the ground he stood on lefted and they went higher. They found themselves near Unicron's mouth and Optimus tried to get himself and Galvatron off Unicron, but they were being sucked in too fast. Then Galvatron cut himself loose from Optimus' grip and fell into Unicron's mouth.

"NO!" cried Optimus as he watched his old nemesis fall.

"Go to your men Prime they need you and I hope you find your son and treat him right . . . do something that I never got a chance to do," said Galvatron as he vanished into the light.

Then, all of the sudden, Unicron vanished and left Optimus floating over an almost destroyed cybertron.

I failed, he thoguht. But I can't give up. I must find Hot Shot I must never . . . give up on him.

Hot Shot's girl: Okay here is the next chapter, but I'll be working on my others so the next chapter might have to wait a couple days okay. So until the next chapter, bye.

Oh and by the way the next chapters will be about Hot Shot's years with Unicron and they're not to nice.
