Thank you for the reviews. I really enjoy reading them.

The auction is over and it was somewhat of a success so I am happy. For a small silent auction we raised $1000.00 and covered all of our needs for our ministry. Yeah! I am happy because we will need no more fund raisers for a while.

I do apologize. I have not been inspired to write in great detail this month because I have been busy with other little project around my house. This chapter is the compilation of the whole story and I hope that it doesn't confuse anyone. This was the original idea when I wrote the first story "A Telling Surprise". I hope that you like it.

This chapter will be hard to write but now I have the time to do it. I always have trouble writing my original ideas and I hope that I get my intentions across. As for Chelsea remember that she is an alpha female character so for her and Allie to get along it is unusual.

Take a moment to review. I love them and I try to respond to your comments as I am writing. Enjoy!

Everyone sat quietly waiting for Allie to enter. It wasn't unusual for her to be the last but the mechs joining the meeting was not used the quiet whispers as they waited for their leaders to enter. Allie had called the meeting early in the morning and Prowl noted that Chelsea was waiting as well as Barricade. It seemed that every femme that held a major office and even minor commands were waiting along with Ultra Magnus, who had flown in from moon base 5; even Sentinel and Shayla flew in from her remote lab in the mountains and Comm., Cassie, and Saraphina sat talking quietly.

Prowl looked over to Soundwave who sat tall and regal. The cassettes stood around their sire as Laserbeak and Buzzsaw each perched on their creator's shoulders while Ratbat sat quietly in Cassie's lap. The sparklings were resting with sitters in the atrium or Hall nursery that was set up for when creators were working, but Prowl was curious to why their younglings were with them. He glanced around again to note that some of the youngest warriors were standing behind their commanders and Prowl assumed that this meeting was very important to have everyone gathered so carefully around the ready room. Smokescreen ran in quickly to take his place behind Prowl as he had been recently promoted to field psychiatrist and assistant to Prowl for the daily administration. No one had given Soundwave an assistant since he preferred to work along with his cassettes but Bluestreak relished his promotion to assistant to Prime while Hook had been made CMO and leading engineer of Moon base 5. No one had been suggested for assistant to the Lord High Protector but Ultra Magnus had taken the commanding position under Megatron over the space fleet that Allie worked hard to build up just before their arrival to the Realm. Prowl, impressed with Allie's genius for hiding the fleet in space, commended Prime and the Lord High Protector on her dedication to protecting all life that asked to be placed under her watch.

The ready room was similar to the dining table which the femmes used in the morning to start the day. It was round but was larger if possible to accommodate everyone just like the dining hall table that Allie used in the morning to converse with her lieutenants and sub commanders before starting the day. After Prime and Megatron joining and the peace treaty being signed chairs were added to allow the mechs to join in the morning meetings and Prowl could see where that gesture had been extended in this room as well. Everyone sat patiently waiting as Prowl sensed and then saw Allie walk in through the doors with Chelsea and Mia following. He kept his outward appearance calm and stoic as he carefully studied Allie's face and posture for any signs of stress. Prime seemed worried for her health since she had added the roll of motherhood to her long lists of responsibilities and both leaders kept their femmes constantly watched for stress or possibilities of break downs. Prowl knew well that one had to maintain a careful balance since he himself kept control of his emotions so that he would not crash when confronted with unexpected surprises (plus the spark twins always managed to challenge that careful control of his but had yet to cause a severe crash).

"Good morning. I am sorry to keep all of you waiting and thank you for accommodating as many that could fit in here." Allie welcomed quietly as she and Mia made it to their seats. Chelsea took the seat to her right with Mia at the left as her femme SIC, though now she was just a commander. Prowl could sense that something was up and he geared up his battle computer. Allie's posture was stiff and Prowl could tell that she was handling herself carefully and with precise control. This was not going to be roses and rainbows and Prowl wondered what this meeting exactly entailed.

Allie did not come home last night and now Optimus worried as he watched his mate take her seat across from him starring directly at him and Megatron sitting to his right. Doc sat close to her mate as Ratchet worried over her large protruding form that housed his precious sparklings and in the midst of the sudden meeting called Optimus had to smile behind his battle mask as he watched the couple as they communicated through their bond. He loved to see his mechs happy and concerned for the welfare of their mates and Optimus waited impatiently for their sparkling's spark day. Wheeljack had just sent to gestation pods and the date had been set to extract them so that their remaining gestation would be monitored in the pod instead of Doc carrying them to the full term. Ratchet assured both the Lord High Protector and Prime himself that this was the safest way for Doc and for all the sparklings since Doc's gestation chamber was too small to carry full term. He glanced back at his own mate smiling as he planned within his CPU a romantic night to help Allie relax and soothe away her anxiety from today's proceedings. He was still intrigued to why she had called a meeting but knew her well enough to trust her.

"Allie, are you okay?" Optimus asked her through their connection.

"I will be fine. I just worry about how everyone will take what has been revealed to me." She replied smiling back and sending love and reassurance to Optimus. Megatron noticed the exchange but held back from asking as he looked commandingly at Allie. She smirked back and Optimus sighed through his intakes at the display of dominance between his two loved ones. Some things just didn't change and never would.

"I need everyone to listen to what I have to say because I will not repeat my words. If you have questions Chelsea or Mia will be answering them as well as Cassie since she sits on the council of twelve…"

"Wait, what council?" Ratchet demanded. "No one told us of any council!" He almost snarled toward the femme commander as Doc grabbed his arm to keep him from launching himself toward Allie.

"Yeah! Raynie has never once commented on a council!" Sunstreaker interjected. He growled fiercely from where he stood behind Megatron since accepting a position has lead front liner but stayed in his place standing behind Megatron and to the right of Raynie's chair as one of the executive administration officers and aid to the Lord High Protector.

"Raynie is not one of the twelve although Doc is part of the high command of the council. We meet once a month in the lower chambers and we meet in the ceremony room." Allie stated mockingly and Optimus groaned quietly. He had a funny feeling as his unused energon swirled sickeningly in his tank and he looked fleetingly at Prowl to make sure he would not glitch discovering that the femmes had met in secret all this time. He seemed prepared for the revelation but then he heard his brother grumble.

"You mean to inform me that this was going on and you never once thought we should know?" Megatron said incredulously as his fist came down on the table and shook everything as it bounced menacingly.

"It was need to know and it only concerns the femme since the council handles the day to day interactions between everyone that is affected by the oracle. You are not transformed into a techno organic form therefore it would not involve you. You and Optimus run the bases and politically decide for the wellbeing of the whole populace while we only handle matters that concern the transformed femmes and their needs that are met by the oracle." Allie stated quietly as she looked steadfast at Megatron. Megatron looked like he was going to confront her about this lack of knowledge but Optimus held his hand up.

"Megatron, let's hear her out before we pass judgment and then we can talk this through carefully each getting a chance to ask questions. I think that it is the least we can do as well as give Allie and her council a chance to explain." Optimus said quietly and everyone stopped their upset ranting to listen with respect and even Ratchet and Sunstreaker quit growling in annoyance.

"Thank you Optimus. Chelsea approached me yesterday and we met in private through the night cycle. The oracle is calling for a healing ceremony. This is different because healing could mean anything from healing the spark to physical healing." Allie stated softly, pause to look around the table, and sigh before returning to her speech. "It has been revealed to me that there is unrest, and again this could mean anything. During my meditation the oracle did not tell where it is coming from except that there is a spark that is not happy. I don't know what will happen and I don't know why we are being called but after much meditation I do know that this ceremony will be open and all are invited. This will be the first healing ceremony that anyone has ever witnessed since one had been called and then the council formed to stabilize from a previous unrest." She looked at each and every couple and then her gaze landed on her mate. Optimus' intakes stopped moving air in and out as he saw the seriousness of Allie's expression. This would not be an easy ceremony.

Optimus started to form words through their bond but then doubled as he felt his spark burn uncomfortably. He groaned quietly trying not to show pain but Megatron glanced at him worried.

"Optimus, what is it?" He asked suddenly standing by his side. Allie jumped up and ran around pushing mechs out of the way until she kneeled down to look him in the optics.

"Optimus?" She asked softly as she felt his discomfort.

"I had a feeling last night but nothing this uncomfortable. I promise I am okay." He stated as he saw Ratchet round the table in his peripheral vision. "It's okay Ratchet; just the Matrix acting out to let me know that it is calling to me."

"Matrix or not you will be in my medbay for a checkup now!" Ratchet snarled as he reached over Allie to check and make sure that Optimus was not running hot.

"I am fine and we will finish this meeting first." Optimus stated emphatically as he leaned back in his chair and Allie stood up forcing Ratchet to step back.

"Okay but I will let Ratchet know if it happens again whether you like it or not." Allie said unsure whether to end the meeting or continue. Optimus could see the worry on her face and feel it through the bond along with love and concern about his health and Optimus sent back his love and assurance that he was fine.

"I promise that I will not perish before this meeting ends." Optimus said it lightly but none of the mechs laughed and even Megatron flinched from remembrance of the events of Egypt. Allie looked at him with worry but slowly back and then turned to return to her chair. She sat down and looked out over the ready room while taking a deep slow breath.

"As we speak please be aware that Com is monitoring this meeting and Soundwave has set up all communications so that all mechs and femmes are being called in. My goal is to begin the ceremony tonight, continue it into the early morning, and conclude it just before dawn. Our allies in the cities have agreed to step up their watch for one night and Ultra Magnus is bringing in all femmes from the Moon base while leaving mechs to take their place until they go back. I have asked Doc to monitor all femmes and mechs during the ceremony, and yes, I know that Ratchet and Prime will object." This stopped ratchet with his hand in mid-air before he could voice his objections. "We have already taken that into account and Doc will brief her mate on his duties so that all she will have to do is sit and be comfortable. Shalon and Aura will go ahead of the assembly to prepare the lower chambers. Sarah will meet you and assist along with Raven."

"Allie, Raven has always been away. Why her?" Tia asked it softly from her chair.

"I have asked her because I feel that she needs to learn. Tia I understand that you usually help but I need you to act as Warder and guard the inner doors." Allie looked back up and around the room. "We all will be in the lower chambers. This will leave the outer doors unsecured. I have made a duty roster for tonight only and I apologize to Prowl in advance for upsetting his roster that is already in place. My femmes have complimented me on your excellent skills and I am grateful that you have far excelled in your duties as joint SIC with Soundwave." Allie looked up to the seekers and Starscream's ariel commanders. "Thank you for accommodating my wishes and thank you for your excellent administration skills with overseeing all of the air maneuvers and sky patrol rosters. I promise that this will be the only interruption for a while. The city of Camorra has offered to patrol the skies for tonight so that your seekers can be here for the ceremony." Allie leaned back and folded her arms under her chin. "Now if that is all, are there any questions?"

The room exploded into a myriad of questions being fired at Allie all at once. Optimus watched as Allie listened to each of the bickering and complaining before shaking her head slowly. He raised his hand quietly as he had done many times before in meetings like these and the room slowly quieted down.

"I think that we need to show respect for Allie by asking our questions one at a time." Optimus stated with quiet authority. Everyone immediately looked remorseful for a moment and then looked at each other waiting for someone to go first.

"You say that this ceremony will be different, how?" Ratchet asked, his medical training coming to the for-front as he gazed steadily at Allie.

"It will be different because it will be an open ceremony that will involve the oracle…" She started.

"How will we know that it will change us?" Sideswipe said heavily concerned as he pulled Raynie closer to him protectively.

"You don't. You have to trust me and my femmes that we will protect you." Allie told him never wavering from his steady gaze. She heard Sunstreaker snort and then growl protectively over both his twin and their mate but Allie held Sideswipe's gaze without breaking it until he was forced to look away.

"You can't guarantee that you can protect us." Longhaul said as he looked over Scrapper while his brother was shaking his helm in agreement.

"You're right I can't but you will not be directly on the chamber floor but sitting along the side. My femmes and I will open the ceremony and I was hoping that Optimus would be willing to lead it since he is the Matrix bearer." Allie looked at her mate with hopeful eyes and Optimus sighed through his intakes. She had said nothing to him and Optimus looked accusingly at her that she would place him in this situation. He felt the Matrix swell in his chest and his spark respond and he realized that it was in conjunction to what was going on with the oracle.

"You are all connected."

The voice whispered to him and for the first time in a long, long while, since he was first made Prime he realized that Primus was speaking. Optimus felt his spark reach out as if trying to reach and connect him to everyone in the room and suddenly he understood. They all needed healing because with all their efforts they were still not one.

"Allie I would be honored to lead the ceremony." Optimus stated softly, quietly and everyone stopped talking. The room became so quiet that one might be able to hear any glitch mice running behind the walls.

"Optimus, are you sure about this?" Megatron asked and Optimus looked to his right to see concern and worry clearly expressed in his brother's face.

"I am fine and I trust Allie implicitly." Optimus smiled beneath his battle mask and Megatron relaxed as he saw the crinkles in his brother's protoform beneath.

"Optimus, you could be hurt and we can't afford to have anything happen to our Prime." Ratchet stated gravely. It was his job to remind Prime of the risks. Optimus turned to see Ironhide give him a look.

"What is it, Ironhide?" He knew what was coming but it was better to let Ironhide get it out of his system. Allie waited without saying anything as they both watched Prime's dearest friend and bodyguard.

"I don't like you being exposed. Our security will be at a minimum if we are all in the ceremony chambers." He informed Prime.

"Allie…" Optimus started.

"Hide, we will have security. I have already talked to Red Alert and he will have a roster made within the hour. I would not leave us defenseless and the oracle will provide protection if someone were to suddenly try to interrupt. You have seen that yourself from the first time we had a ceremony. This time you will be invited into the chambers so you will see another side of what occurs." Allie reassured Ironhide but Optimus could see that he was still unsettled about the entire upcoming event. "It will be okay Ironhide but I have to do this; we have to do this."

"Allie is right." Optimus stood suddenly commanding everyone's attention as he looked over all of the commanders and officers in the room. He decided to tell them his revelation and hoped that they would understand. "It has been so long since I have heard Primus' voice but I heard it just now as Allie was outlining what will happen tonight. I am standing behind Allie because Primus is calling. We need to perform this ceremony because it is what Primus wants us to do. I can't explain it any better than Allie can but I support her in this."

"Thank you Optimus, I appreciate your support." Allie told him quietly as she tipped her head in respect toward her mate.

"If that is all then let us adjourn. I will be in my office. Allie?" He asked his mate.

"I will be in our quarters. I didn't recharge well and I would like to get some rest before tonight. Mia has offered to work in my place for a few hours so if any one has any more questions she will be happy to assist you and any of the officers." Allie stood up as everyone started to leave. "My lord?" She inclined her head respectfully to Megatron.

"Thank you, I will be in my office. Prowl will you and Soundwave join me?" Megatron asked and he stood as well. Everyone filled out of the room with while quietly gossiping about tonight. "Also, I need for Starscream to report within the hour. We have some duty rosters to discuss."

"Yes, Lord High Protector." Prowl answered for all of them as they walked by and left Megatron, Optimus, and Allie alone.

"Are you angry?" Allie asked Megatron. She walked over to stand next to him unafraid of possible retaliation should he be actually angry.

"No, I have come to trust you although I still struggle with my emotions towards my brother." Megatron smirked as he leaned over and pressed a kiss behind his sister-in-law's ear. "When this is over you and Optimus must join us for dinner." He leaned back and Allie could see the glint in his optics. Her breath caught as she sensed his mood and felt Optimus come up behind her to look over her shoulder to gaze at Megatron with curiosity. Megatron smirked and Allie could feel the air lift with his dark sense of humor.

"It seems that my brother wants to strengthen our familiar bond." Optimus stated and Allie shivered being sandwiched between the two most powerful mechs in the Realm.

"This is serious you two." She stated despite the breathy way her voice came out. Optimus placed his hands on her shoulders and pulled her back.

"We are being serious." Optimus leaned over and kissed where her joint and the rotator cup met and Allie leaned back into the embrace.

"Thank you for backing me today." She said as Megatron leaned down and kissed her softly on the lips.

"It is our pleasure to back you but next time it can you give me some heads up about what your meetings are about?" Optimus said and Allie opened her eyes to look up into the deeply ruby optics of Megatron glowing brightly at her.

"I agree with Optimus. I almost spoke against this ceremony but to be honest I am intrigued by this oracle." Megatron told her softly.

"You can't harness the power. It will kill you." Allie whispered back and then moaned as Optimus pulled her back against his strong warm chassis. "Rion, not here." She breathlessly whispered.

"I agree but you were beautiful today and I want to tell you that I am proud of the way you handled this." Optimus spoke softly into her ear and Allie reached behind to pull his helm closer to the side of her face. She turned and gasped as she looked into rich sapphire blue optics before closing her eyes to bliss as she felt Optimus' glossa touch the bottom of her lips in silent invitation to kiss her. She welcomed the motion and groaned as both mechs embraced her tall sleek form and Allie thought she would puddle in a pool of goo before being able to get out of the ready room.

"Hide, it will be okay." Mia told him as he huffed around her office. "You can settle down. It won't be as bad as you think."

"What about Stronghide? Will he have to be present tonight?" Ironhide asked agitatedly. He kept pacing back and forth making her office seem smaller than normal and Mia sighed as Ironhide barely missed the picture of Iacon city on the wall almost causing it to fall. The office was simple and efficient just like Mia and it suited her needs very well.

"No he will not be there. You are just being paranoid about the entire thing." Mia said rolling her eyes at her mate as she sat down in her chair.

"But…"

"No buts; you need to calm down. You are going to blow a line if you don't." Mia stated.

"I can't help it. I don't like you being a part of any of it and I worry for you. Now I have to worry about Prime and the Lord High Protector as well as my friends that will be there." He stopped suddenly and looked at her. "I will never stop worrying about you." Ironhide said it softly and Mia felt all the love he sent towards her through the bond.

"I promise nothing will happen to me or any of us. The most is that we will be tired when it is over. You have my word." Mia told him though she knew he would never stop being concerned for the ones he loved.

0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0

The first sun was setting casting the sky in a golden hue. Allie stood outside the massive chamber doors while everyone lined up in front. There were two lines that walked through the two sets of chamber doors. Allie was at the north entrance while Mia had lined Optimus up at the south entrance. The standard was in place and would march in first and then the two marshals would lead everyone to their seats before returning and gathering the remaining part of the line that would march in the officers while the standard was displayed in front of the podium facing the oracle that was centered on the camber floor. It stood there as a living alter to Primus as the officer would march around until standing next to their office spots on the floor. There were no chairs except the ones that lined along the sides of the chamber walls and even though the chambers themselves were in the lower levels of the temple that the Hall was built around, there still glowed a golden light from walls of the chamber giving the chamber room an eerie brilliance. The walls were covered in glyphs, an ancient language praising Primus and telling the story of the first ones who came before to protect the innocent. They glowed mysteriously and as Allie peeked over the shoulders of her comrades she could see many admiring them as they sat waiting for the officers to march in.

Allie couldn't see her mate but she felt him. Optimus was so strong and supportive as they stood waiting their turn and Allie smiled as she basked in his warmth that he sent through their bond. She happily returned it even though her tank felt like someone ciphered the wrong fuel into it. Even now she could feel what humans called butterflies flitting though it. It never stopped as she picked up on other's anxiety and she hoped that Optimus would not notice. She heard the three knocks and then the marshals came to lead them. She walked through the doors looking to the south to see Optimus crossing the threshold at the same time as she. He smiled reassuringly as they matched their steps together walking parallel and then crossing in front of the standard bearer. They would march around once more crossing in the west before coming to their standing places with Allie and Optimus standing just in front of the podium. Once the leaders were in place, everyone stepped where their places were etched in the floor and Optimus assisted Allie up the three steps to stand behind the ceremonial podium.

Megatron had been given the seat of honor standing next to Prime as well as asked to open the ceremony by issuing the order for the standard to be brought in. They joined him as all stood facing the podium. Mia, Cassie, and Raven stood around the oracle on the north side as Sarah, Tia, and Com paralleled to the south. Doc had been given a seat in the north and Shalon directly opposite to her in the south while Chelsea stood on a one step Podium directly west and opposite to Allie. Raynie had represented the standard and Aura and Stargazer were the marshals that led everyone in. Each stood at the foot of the podiums, one in the northeast, and the other in the southwest. They all represented a circle around the oracle with everyone standing along a square on the outer parts of the circle.

Allie looked out among the crowd that accumulated around them and her spark swelled with pride at how much they had grown in the last two years. Where once it would only be a small group of them now they had over two hundred in the chamber and Allie looked with pride to her mate. She could feel some of Optimus' nervousness and she sent warmth and love to him as she rose out to speak the ancient language that would start the next part of the ceremony. Doc's lab assistant joined her to do the ritual dance with Shalon as the oracle's protective case fell away to reveal the crystal structure of the oracle itself. The femmes that circle the oracle turned towards it as everyone turned hearing the humming of the crystal. The glyphs on the wall began to glow as if they were telling a story of their own and the floor began to vibrate as the Megatron and Optimus both saw the cubes rise from beneath the floor along the outer edges of the chamber.

Allie heard a gasp emit from Megatron as he watched the cubes circle around them floating above in the dome like ceiling above their helms. Everyone could feel the power emanating from thee crystal and channeling between it and the nine cubes that circle around.

0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0

Ironhide gasped as he watched warily the cubes float around above him. He looked out over the floor as he watched Mia, the ground now visibly shaking from the power that was emanating from the oracle and cubes. He had never been part of the contingent that guarded the temple in Iacon so he didn't know if anything like this happened. He turned his helm to check that Optimus was fine before turning back to watch over his mate protectively.

The floor shook again before everyone along the edge of the chambers cried out as suddenly they felt themselves being lowered into the darker part of the temple. Ironhide looked around in apprehension as everyone muttered and exclaimed in alarm. He thought that Optimus or Allie would speak out to reassure them but the humming from the crystal was louder and the cubes circle faster in intensity. Ironhide felt his cannons powering up but them a screeching sound stretched out and immobilized all weaponry and Ironhide was powerless to protect his mate and Prime.

"Optimus!" He yelled but it was as if the group stationed on the chamber floor could not hear him. He tried to lunge forward as he saw Ratchet and the twins do the same but suddenly light surrounded all of them and everything seemed to stop. Time itself was not present and Ironhide gasped as he heard the voice of his creator speak for the first time in his life.

"My children, I am so proud that you have found the strength within yourself to stop a millennium long civil war that caused so much strife and many to perish. One day when you have proven that your sparks are truly at peace and contentment is your goal for all, I will restore your home planet."

Ironhide could feel the coolant sliding down to streak into the cracks of his old weary face plates as his intakes hiccupped trying to pull in cool air to keep his frame from overheating. In that moment he could feel everyone's' thoughts and fears as if they were his own. Primus was gifting them with the bonds of brotherhood. No more were they Autobot or Decepticon; they were family. They were truly united together and peace fell from the sky (the cubes that floated above them) and for the first time since his spark day, Ironhide was at rest.

0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

Megatron gasped. He felt as if his entire frame was burning but he wasn't in pain. Were they being transformed into the ghastly weak frames that the femmes now had? It made his spark beat coldly and he wanted to scream at Allie for tricking them. She would pay; the all would if his power diminished in any way or form. The only positive was that Optimus would share his fate along with Ironhide and Prowl. He tried to look out into the crowd that sat watching but it was too bright and Megatron could not see but he heard the voice and he cried out in despair.

"You, I am most proud of. You tried to free those who were conflicted and oppressed and though you strayed you found your way back in favor with your brother. I will reward you and many will come from your bond with your mate. Do not be afraid. I will not let her die. You have already suffered much loss and now rejoice that I favor you and your brother with a future. Replenish your race and be strong. I am your creator and I love you!"

Megatron felt the coolant seep down the plates of his face. He couldn't stop it and growled angrily that he would show such emotions in public. But as the tears streaked down they also washed away the final stains of his past and Megatron felt the fire of joy flood his spark.

0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

Optimus panted trying to take air in to keep his systems from overheating. He looked over to see his brother drop to the floor, coolant flowing freely. Prime did not know what was in store for them but he could feel Primus healing each and every spark that was present in the chamber and Optimus cried out in joy knowing that after tonight that all would finally bee one not just in actions but in within their sparks. He grabbed Allie hand realizing that it was hot and he looked to see her glowing. She pulled her hands away and smiled at him and then walked down to stand between the podium and the oracle.

Optimus saw her raise her hands, her mouth formed the ancient prayers, and suddenly every femme present began to glow channeling power from them, to the oracle, and then flowing back into each femme. They were connected to Primus, they all were, but the femmes were the priestess and their bodies were made to interconnect with the oracle so that they could be the ambassadors to go out and protect the innocent. Optimus understood now as he watched with love and pride. He would stand by his mate's side for eternity and love her because she was the mother of a new generation. Her love would be the founding blocks for the future and they were all connected not by race but by love of family. Though they may bicker and fight Optimus knew that now they would see beyond their pettiness and love each other no matter the cost because now they all understood the cost of fighting and loss.

"My son, you have done me proud by staying true to your faith. I will reward you and your bond with your brother will never be broken again."

"Primus, I praise you with all my spark and thank you for granting my dearest prayer." Optimus cried back in his spark and he felt Primus smile upon him.

0o0o0o0o00o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0

Power went out to all and as suddenly as it started it stopped leaving everyone gasping, panting on all fours as they looked around in astonishment. They were back in the original room; the oracle was once again covered, and other than everyone being on their knee joints it was as if it never happened.

Ironhide groaned. He hated getting off the floor from his knees. They always groaned in protest, but as he stood he noticed that there was no creaking in his joints. He looked down to see that all of the weather worn scratches that he buffed daily were gone. He felt power and his tanks were full. Not only had Primus spoke but he healed and filled them. He looked over to Ratchet and then others to see their frames shiny and new. It was as if they had come off an assembly line fresh and newly sparked.

"Well praise Primus! I have never…." Ratchet cried out but didn't finish as he heard Doc moan in pain. He ran over to her as he saw fluids running down her leg. "Casey, No!" He snarled but Doc just smiled though it was tinged with pain.

"I knew this would happen, my spark, but I didn't want to alarm you. We need to get them out quickly. Primus told me that they were going to grow at an accelerated rate because they are needed for rebuilding." She whispered to him and Ratchet snatched her up in his arms and ran quickly out of the chambers and headed to the infirmary.

Allie saw the commotion on the floor and looked to Optimus. His gaze was drawn to the floor between the podium and oracle casing staring in shock. Allie turned her gaze to follow his to see a protoform lying silently on the floor with a spark beating steadily in its chest.

Jazz had returned.
