The credit for the song goes to PonyPhonic (yes it's about My Little Pony but it's an awesome show and an even awesomer song). It's called "The Moon Rises" with one line changed ("The ponies of Equestria" is now "The ninjas of Cybertron"). You all should definitely look it up! :)

"…we have the Matrix of Leadership and it's time for you to receive it." Prima agreed. Everyone's eyes/optics widened and they were all surprised, especially Smokescreen. The other members of the Thirteen nodded in agreement. Vector Prime pulled out a Matrix he'd been safeguarding until the time came from his subspace. Smokescreen walked forward nervously and nodded. His chestplates opened and the Matrix shot a light into his chassis (A/N like what happened in Orion Pax Pt. 3).

"After all those years of searching for the Prime of prophecy I can't believe I was looking for Smokescreen all along." Solus said with a smile. Winterstreak nodded in agreement, remembering how he used to help search as well. When Smokescreen's chassis finally closed he stared down at himself in shock with wide optics. "Mechs, femmes, cyberninjas and humans, behold the new leader of the Autobots: Smokescreen Prime!"

"This is so weird." Smokescreen Prime said in surprise as everyone cheered. They began to congratulate him. Later around midnight Crimsonbreak was sitting outside the mouth of a tunnel on the mountain looking out over the small town. She took a deep breath and sighed heavily. She was having problems sleeping because of the nightmares plaguing her. She looked down at her hands as the nightmare continued to play through her mind. The screams of innocent humans. The world covered in fire. The menacing voice.

"You cannot hide from what you are, Crimsonbreak! You are mine to command! Soon you will betray your team and your sparkmate. You will kill them without hesitance. You are a child of darkness, hater of the light. That is why you find comfort in the moon, in the shadows of night. You enjoy the sight of others in pain, you love their screams. You've killed in cold blood and you can do it again, but this time under my orders. Fight me all you want, but sooner or later you will join me." A rough voice whispered in her mind. She put her face in her hand and bit back the tears threatening to break loose. She began to hum and eventually began to sing a song she learned from when she was younger.

Now the hour has come at last
The soft and fading light
Has crossed the west horizon
And has bidden us goodnight
And what a lovely night it is
To walk a moonlit field
To see the softer shades
That are by starlight now revealed

So why is it that now,
When all is quiet and at rest
When candles glow and all the world
Is at its very best
The ninjas of Cybertron
Should lock themselves away
To shun the moon and wait instead
For Sister's sunny day?

In umbra Luna est (the moon is in shadow)

Am I so wrong to wish that they
Would see things like I do?
And am I so wrong to think
That they might love me too?
Why shouldn't they adore me?
Is it not within my right?
I'll not be overshadowed!
Mine is not the lesser light!
I've waited long enough now
For them all to come around
And though the Sun may plead and threaten,
The Moon will stand her ground

And all will know the wonder
Of my dark and jeweled sky
When all the world is wrapped
In an eternal lullaby
So say goodnight at this,
The final setting of the sun
Tomorrow dawns in darkness
The nighttime has begun!

Nocte! (night!)

She took a deep breath and walked back to the base. The Dark One would return and reveal what Crimsonbreak really was. When her eyes turned red yesterday her cover was almost blown. She shook her head and went to bed. The next day was a slow day for everyone, but something was definitely amiss for the cyberninjas. Most of them talked quietly about something but Winterstreak, Fernblaze, Nightshade, Yellowbeam, and Crimsonbreak couldn't figure out what was up. Suddenly Fernblaze overheard something and ran up to Crimsonbreak.

"This isn't good, they're starting to think you're allied with The Dark One. Some of them claimed to hear you sing the cursed song." She informed quietly. Crimsonbreak closed her eyes and sighed heavily. She opened her eyes again and glanced at her team who continued to talk about her behind her back. "I'll go tell Winterstreak, he needs to know this."

"Don't Fernblaze, this is not something new to me and it's no big deal. It'll blow over like it always does. There's nothing to worry about as long as they're wrong. I'm not allied with The Dark One and I never will be. If they don't believe that then that sucks for them." Crimsonbreak stated. Fernblaze stared at her in confusion. It didn't make sense why she would be so calm about this but she wasn't about to judge her best friend.

"Guys…it's almost time for the final battle." Smokescreen announced after coming out of a meeting with Optimus, Heatwave, Fowler, and the Thirteen. Crimsonbreak's stomach clenched but she nodded along with the others. Solus was just relieved that soon the war would be over and she wouldn't have to worry about fighting anymore. That's when she realized something. The Thirteen were now in this war, so she was again under Prima's command. She didn't have a problem with her older brother, but she liked being under an Autobot's command. Speaking of Prima, he put a servo on her shoulder with a smile and looked out at everyone.

"And since Solus is the only one out of the Thirteen who's been fighting in this war alongside the Autobots the entire time, she will now lead us. For the time being that is." Prima announced. Solus stared up at him like he was crazy. Nexus laughed happily and clapped her on the shoulder hard enough for her to stumble slightly.

"Looks like you're leader now little sis. I didn't know you had it in ya." He teased. Solus rolled her optics and punched his shoulder jokingly. He gripped it dramatically and yelped in fake pain. "Oh Primus she hit me! Somebot help me! I think my arm's gonna fall off! Oh what a cruel, unforgiving world! How could you Solus?! How could you? I can see the light, goodbye world!"

"Oh stop being such an overdramatic sparkling, Nexus." Solus laughed as he fell to the ground pretending to be dead. Everyone started to snicker at the ridiculous Prime. She rolled her optics and shook her helm as she went to stand next to Soundwave. "You guys see what I dealt with back in the Pocket Dimension? He was also a renowned prankster."

"Okay guys, back on track. So the odds are obviously against us considering there are hundreds if not thousands of Decepticons out there. We're vastly outnumbered and who knows how many Autobots are still out there. So we're pretty much on our own." Smokescreen said solemnly. Solus thought back to everything the Autobots taught her during her time on Cybertron. She smirked and shook her helm.

"Like my old partner Cliff would say, sounds like a fair fight." She responded. Bee and Bulkhead started chuckling, remembering their deceased friend. Solus sadly thought of her old partners, wondering what their reaction might've been if they knew she was a Prime. "We can't dwell on the statistical standpoint of the war. We have most of the Thirteen, three of their descendants, Primes not a part of the Thirteen, and some amazing Autobots and cyberninjas. We have human allies who have been with us through thick and thin. The Decepticons may have the advantage in numbers, but they will never become what we are: friends."

"Family," Soundwave answered as everyone put their hand/servo in.

"Inseparable," Bee added.

"Trusting," Crimsonbreak stated.

"Caring," June said.

"And above all, we protect those we care about." Blades finished. Solus' optics suddenly started to glow a bright gold color. Everyone stared in shock as she began to glow completely. When the light died down there no longer stood a small blue femme, but a black and pink femme almost as tall as Optimus. Solus gasped and looked down at herself in happiness. The Thirteen looked pretty happy too. "Woah what happened to Solus?"

"I'm back! My old body's back! To answer your question, Blades, I have no idea how this happened but I'm sure glad it did!" Solus practically squealed. There was a blue light in the corner and everyone turned to see a white mech with caring orange optics walked up with a smile. The Thirteen immediately knew who the mech was and swiftly bowed in respect. "Primus, it is an honor to have you visit us."

"Likewise, Solus Prime," Primus chuckled. The others in the room gasped when Solus had identified him and bowed as well. Primus sighed and shook his helm. "Do not bow, my children, especially young humans. I merely have come to aide you in your war against the Decepticons, Megatronus, and The Dark One. Crimsonbreak you are well aware of the threat of The Dark One, are you not?"

"Y-Yes sir, he's returned already. He's been visiting my dreams again." Crimsonbreak admitted shamefully. She had told no one about her dreams but she wasn't about to lie to Primus himself. She wasn't stupid. She could hear murmurs of cyberninjas claiming to have known that. She lowered her head in shame as her closest friends stared at her in shock. "He still wants me to join him, but I'm trying to fight back."

"I believe you, little one. Your friends should trust you as well. You have power that even I have yet to fully understand. Winterstreak Prime is one lucky cyberninja to have you, Crimsonbreak. We will continue to discuss The Dark One in a while, but first I must inform Solus Prime of something." He smiled as he gently put a servo on Crimsonbreak's shoulder. He straightened again and looked to said Prime. "You've missed your original form, haven't you?"

"You have no idea how long I've been dreaming of going back to this form." Solus answered with a grin. She looked over at her brothers, then at the Autobots, cyberninjas, humans, and Rescue Bots with sad optics. Primus noticed this and frowned slightly. He knew where this was heading, but he was glad that she was starting to become more open to her fellow Cybertronians.

"You may stay in this form until the end of the war, but you can also change back into your other form. This will not be a permanent thing, you will have to decide in the end whether you want to be Solus Prime, member of the Thirteen, or Arcee, a strong Autobot soldier. You should take your time with this decision." Primus announced. Solus' optics widened slightly when the news fully sunk in.

"So…I have to choose between my brothers and the family I gained when I lived on Cybertron and on Earth?" she asked quietly. Primus nodded slowly in response. The room grew tense and Solus narrowed her optics. She transformed back into her "Arcee form" and crossed her arms. "Then my decision is already made. I'm sorry guys. I love you and you've always been like brothers to me, but my ties are with the Autobots. And if that means I give up my title of Prime and become Arcee completely, then so be it. I cannot and will not abandon them, especially not Soundwave."

"If Solus is leaving the Thirteen then I will too. I made that decision back on Cybertron and I'm going to follow through with it." Winterstreak agreed as he stood next to his sister. The other members of the Thirteen, Silverspark, and Starscream also stood by Solus in her decision. "With all due respect, sir, whatever you do to us we will come out stronger than ever. We stick together no matter what."

"Related by energon or not we are still brothers…and sister. We're going to stick together no matter what. Even if it means the only Primes who remain are the ones who came after us." Amalgamous Prime added. Everyone prepared for Primus to get angry, to reprimand the Thirteen for standing up against him like that. Instead, he smirked and eventually began to laugh happily. Solus visibly relaxed, hoping that it was a good sign.

"I was hoping you would make this decision, all of you. Solus I could have sent any of your brothers to look for Smokescreen Prime. I chose you because I saw that you were being too judgmental on the Cybertronians you and your brothers ruled. I knew this was the only way for you to see who they really are. You may use either form, even after the war ends, and go back and forth between the Pocket Dimension and Earth or Cybertron." Primus answered with a smile.

"Now I'm curious about who The Dark One is and what he has to do with Crimsonbreak. Why is he going into her dreams and trying to get her to join him?" June demanded. Crimsonbreak cringed when several cyberninjas either glared or backed away from her. June noticed and motioned to the young girl. "And why does everyone treat her like she's the plague or something?"

"You were informed of how…dangerous red cyberninjas could be. Even Crimsonbreak at points in time has acted like one of them. The darker the red, the more powerful and deadly they become, and she is no different. The Dark One wants her to join him because of her powers that even I don't have much knowledge of. One of the major assets he wants is the fact that she is the Master of Memories and has Winterstreak Prime's relic." Primus answered. Before anyone could answer Primus gasped in pain and clutched his spark. He fell to his knees as everyone ran up to help him.

"The death of Cybertron is slowly killing him…" Ratchet realized.

This just proves that not even Primus is safe from me when I decide to be sadistic! hehehehehe
