Chapter Twenty Four
It was over.
The Battle for Iacon had been won and it had been the new Prime's doing. He had battled the tyrant Prime and beaten him honorably. The Decepticons had retreated but for how long was the question?
Either way, a silence fell upon the courtyard of the Iacon Palace as all looked up at the tall form of Sentinel Prime's son. A lot of them looked up at him with awe for what he had done. Many revered him for risking his life for their freedom from tyranny.
"Optimus!"
Optimus turned just in time to catch Elita in his arms and hold her close to his frame. He felt the love coursing through her own frame as she held onto him. "Elita." He vented gently.
Elita pulled away from him, looking lovingly up at him and full of pride. She was so happy he had come back to take Megatron down. She could never be so happier than she was now. "I am so proud of you, Optimus! You did it! You faced your uncle and won! You have freed us!" She said happily before standing on her tippy peds and kissed him. And he kissed her back.
"Good job, Oppy! We knew you were something great!" He heard Jazz pipe up.
Optimus pulled away from his beloved and smiled at all of his brothers proudly. "I have all of you to thank, Jazz. If you had not believed in me, I wouldn't have believed in myself." He said before looking at Alpha Trion as he approached. And in honor of the former Prime, he bowed his head in respect. "Thank you, Alpha Trion, for what you have done for me."
Alpha Trion shook his head as he smiled proudly at Optimus. "It is not I that should be thanked, Optimus Prime. It is your father. He told me to do it. It was all you. All you had needed was a little push." He then straightened as he opened a chassis compartment for something. "Now then, of you are to become the new Prime, there is one thing you will need. As Ancient Scribe of Primus and Former Prime, I grant you this."
And he pulled out a double side pyramid shaped object from within, something that began to low brightly.
There were hushed vents all around Optimus as the Matrix of Leadership was presented to Optimus. Everyone could feel a reverent power seeping from the ancient relic of the Primes.
Optimus felt his vents catch as he carefully untangled himself from Elita One and moved closer, looking at the relic with awe. "Do you really think it will accept me like it did my father?" He asked ventlessly.
Smiling Alpha Trion held up the relic. "There is only one way to find out, Orion Pax." He said softly.
Optimus nodded now looking very determined as he straightened proudly. He took a few more steps forward and held out his hands for the relic, which began to glow brightly.
As if sensing his honorability and rightful place, the relic glowed brightly before lifting itself from Alpha Trion's hands, hovering towards Optimus' out stretched hands. It hovered over his palms until he enclosed his hand around it.
As soon as Optimus held it, a brilliant light exploded from the relic in an almost heavenly wave, lighting up the entire city, itself and all that watched with revered awe at the crowning of their new Prime.
Optimus felt a sacred sensation washed all over and through him. He felt as the very Primes of Old were sending their wisdom and acceptance into him through the Matrix of Leadership. He could almost feel as if his father was standing right behind him, hand on his shoulder plate. He knew at that very moment that the Primes were smiling down on him, accepting him as the new Prime.
If they hadn't, there would be no reason why the brilliant moon and star of Cybertron would finally make their selves known right through the thick dissipating clouds that had covered Cybertron for nearly twenty vorns. Everyone in the court yard, if not all over Cybertron looked up with surprise to see the moon that they hadn't seen for so long shine its beams right onto Optimus as if welcoming him as the new Prime. They all knew that it was destiny that was shining down finally. They knew that this was the one true Prime, finally taking his place.
And as one, cheers began breaking out all over through the city as they looked up at Optimus, cheering their approval for their new Leader.
Optimus Prime turned to look around with pride on his face plates as he watched that one by one, the people of Iacon were starting to bow down to him. He looked to see all of his brothers and all of the femmes that had fought alongside with him bow down to him. He smiled proudly and made his way to the edge of the balcony, standing tall and proud, just like how his father used to. He turned his cool blue optics upward and he could almost see an image of Sentinel Prime looking down at him, smiling.
Smiling proudly, the new Prime looked around the city before lifting the Matrix high above his head, sending its brilliant light shining down on all of his people. "For Cybertron!" He called out and cheers roared up as the people of Cybertronians joined him, throwing their fists into the air.
Optimus smiled before looking at Elita One joined his side, as well as all of his friends. They all smiled at one another, standing proudly on the balcony. They knew that together, that this day on forward, they were going to work on building a bigger, brighter future for Cybertron.
Together.
And if Megatron and his Decepticons decided to return in hostility, wanting to try and take the Matrix of Leadership and the entire world of Cybertron again, they would have one pit of a fight. Because together, The Prime and his Autobots were going to fight with every drip of energon in their beings for the freedom that all sentient beings deserved.
Author's Note:
Hey, everyone. This is the end of The Prime. Sorry it took so long but I had one PIT of a writer's block that was fragging me off because I had such a hard time writing this. Sorry this chapter is so short. Like I said, I had one pit of a writer's block and I still do, a little. But nonetheless, I am going to do all I can to keep up with all of my stories and FINISH them. It just might take a little longer than I really wanted it to. I hope you enjoyed this story because I really enjoyed writing it. I really want to thank Disney for having such a great story like Lion King, as well as the song writers for all of the amazing music and songs that they did for the Disney movie. If it wasn't for the Lion King Soundtrack, I wouldn't have come up with this story. Thank you all for your kind words you had for The Prime. I look forward to hearing from all of you on my next Transformers installment that will be coming up VERY soon.
