Ethan444: Thanks.

Disclaimer: I do not own Transformers Prime. I only own the OC George Edwards/Bladewolf.

It had been quiet recently in the past month, not much Decepticon activity which couldn't mean anything good at all. I was making my way to the Ops center of the base where everyone else was. When I reached it I saw my Sparkmate and let her know through the bond where I was, she turned to me and smiled. I walked over and pecked her lips and smiled back then turned my attention to what Optimus was talking about.

"And it was written in the Covenant of Primus that when the 47 spheres align, a perpetual conflict will culminate a world forged from chaos. And the weak shall perish in the shadow of a rising darkness." He read.

"No skies raining fire?" Arcee almost joked next to me.

"It goes without saying, it is a doom prophecy after all." Ratchet said.

"I say it's a load of hooey." Bulkhead said, getting agreements from Ironhide, Hound and Cliffjumper.

"I'm not buying it either." Ironhide said, crossing his arms.

"Me neither." Hound nodded.

"Nope." Cliffjumper agreed.

"I always assumed the ancients were referring to our home planet. But Cybertron has been dark for eons." Ratchet remarked.

"And considering what has befallen this planet since Megatron's arrival here..." Optimus went on.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! We've known about these superstitions for ages and we've never given them a second thought?!" Bulk protested.

"Why these ominous readings now?" Elita asked her Sparkmate.

"Because the planetary alignment, to which the prophecy refers, is nearly upon us." He replied getting everyone's attention.

"And the end point... is Earth." Red Alert said grimly as he brought up a picture of Earth.

"Well... Scrap."

'You read my mind, Jazz.'

"How long are we talking about?" Arcee asked seriously.

"A few days at most." Ratchet said.

"However unsettling this revelation may be, I am more concerned about those who might believe that the prophecy speak to them alone." Optimus said, and we all knew who he was referring to.

Megatron.

A while later, I was back in human form and sitting with the kids who were going through photos of anything that didn't look remotely human or for conspiracy theories. I do wonder if there's one about Bigfoot or the Loch Ness Monster on this, could do with a trip to my country of Scotland and look for Nessie herself.

"Pass. Uh-uh. Kid in a costume. Balloon. Nope." Jack said as Raf scrolled through the images before stopping on one. "Hold!"

"Smile 'Bee, you're on TV." I called over to the scout who came over curiously.

"So someone caught me, huh?" Bumblebee asked as Jazz and Cliffjumper came over.

"Man, why can't I get some pretty good shots in." Jazz asked with his arms crossed. "I do love to look stylin' and groovin'."

"Sure you do, Jazz." I said with an amused roll of my eyes.

"Camera sure loves 'Bee." Jack said with a chuckle.

"What can you do? When you're a superstar, you're paparazzi bait." Miko exaggerates with a smile and faux camera clicking.

"Wait. Is that Bumblebee?" Ratchet asked in concern when he sees the screen.

"Least it ain't Cliffjumper or Jazz, they'd probably make it worse." I said with a smirk at the 2 mentioned 'Bots.

"Hey!" They exclaimed.

"On a conspiracy website where users post evidence of close encounters. But we have it under control, Ratchet." Raf reassures the medic as he begins to work his magic. "We just scrub and replace Bee with…" He begins to say as he hacks the site, deletes the picture, and replaces it with a much more light hearted picture.

"Mars cat says, 'take me to your feeder.'" The little cat clip says.

"Haha."

"…"

"…"

"…"

"…"

Much to our mutual and collective surprise, Ratchet laughed.

"Well take my insignia off and give me a Decepticon one, Ratchet laughed." Jazz said with disbelief.

"I never would've imagined it." Cliffumper shook his head. "Haven't heard Ratchet laugh since... well, ever."

"He actually used to laugh?" Miko asked in similar disbelief as Jazz.

"Um, Optimus, do you want to see something funny?" Jack takes the opportunity to try to get our leader to crack a smile.

"No." Is Optimus's very blunt answer.

"Don't take it personally. Primes are built that way." Elita states with a smile for her Sparkmate's blunt answer.

"Never seen Optimus laugh, cry, or lose his cool." Bulkhead adds on.

Ironhisde scoffed. "You haven't know Optimus as long as Ratchet and I have."

"Ironhide's right." Ratchet nodded. "Optimus was different before he was made a Prime."

"You aren't born with the name, Raf. It's given and earned." I explained to the boy.

"George is right." Ratchet nodded. "On Cybertron, one isn't born into greatness. Rather, one must earn it."

"So, different how? We talkin' party animal?" Miko asked with a grin, causing me, Elita, and Ironhide to chuckle.

"No, no. Optimus was more like… George and Jack." Ratchet said, surprising me and Jack.

"What?" We both said in surprise. I mean, sure I'm the son of Solus Prime and Megatronus Prime themselves, but I wouldn't say I'm Prime material at all.

"Prime!" Our favorite government agent makes himself known. "Those techites my department's been tracking… We figured it was MECH on account of the stealth tactics, until moments ago when a security feed at the Pennington ebbs particle collider captured this." Fowler shows us a snapshot of a picture with a specific 'Con on it.

"Soundwave." I stated.

"Raf can swap that out for you with a funny cat." Miko joked, but it wasn't really a funny matter if Soundwave of all bots was interested in something.

"The 'Con without a face made off with a cutting-edge phase conductor. Here's a punch list of everything else we've confirmed stolen to date." Fowler pulled up a classified list of top secret items that the Decepticon's made off with in the past.

"Plasma injector, neutron shield, tesseract?" Ratchet mutters in confusion until he realized what was going on. "There's only 1 thing missing if they are intending to build a new Spacebridge."

"What's that?" Jack asked.

"A power source." I said, causing the humans to look at me so I explained. "They have all they need to build the Spacebridge, but they don't have the power to get it up and running. They'd most likely need an amplified power source."

"Precisely." Ratchet nodded.

"Can't they just use Energon and be done with it?" Miko asked with a confused frown.

"They could IF they were using Cybertronian technology." Ratchet clarified. At the confused looks the humans had I pitched in.

"Because the Decepticons are cut off from Cybertron, they can't access Cybertronian technology like they'd be able to if they weren't cut off from their planet. Because of this, they need to take human technology and cannibalize it with other stolen technology, enough that it could power up something like a Spacebridge." I said.

"Technology stolen from us humans." Fowler added in. "Technology that doesn't have Energon."

"Which means they need an alternative type of power from this planet to power up their Spacebridge." I finished explaining.

"Indeed." Optimus said before addressing Fowler. "Agent Fowler, we will do what we can to find Megatron and prevent him from completing the Spacebridge. I ask that you be ready in case they make another move against a human installation."

"We'll be ready." Fowler stated before cutting off the connection.

"Ratchet. Be ready on the scanners. I want to know of any Decepticon activity as soon as it happens."

"Of course, Optimus." Ratchet double timed on setting the system up. I decided to go take some recharge for an hour or 2.

I blinked when I found myself standing before my Carrier, Creator and the rest of the primes who all looked very serious. "Guys, what's going on?" I asked with confusion.

"A great darkness is beginning to awaken." Alpha Trion said grimly.

"One that will spell doom for your planet." My Creator said just as grimly.

"What do you mean?" I asked with some confusion. "I can't remember what happened during these events. It's been a while since I saw the show, my knowledge is practically run out."

"Sweetspark..." Solus stepped forward. "Unicron is beginning to awaken."

My optics widened at that. Unicron? The Chaos Bringer himself? I knew Unicron is the Earth itself, he is the very planet's core just as Primus is Cybertron's core. "He's actually awakening? Is that what the Covenant's about?"

Prima nodded. "The planets are aligning, the magnetic pull of the planetary alignment is what is causing Unicron to awaken, which spells doom for Earth. With Unicron's awakening, it'll have severe consequences for Earth's people. Tidal waves, earthquakes, all will begin due to Unicron's awakening."

"And there's no way to stop him." I stated and the Prime nodded.

"Unicron is the core of Earth. As such, he cannot be stopped or cast out as we and Primus did once before millions of years ago." Vector Prime said.

"What do you want me to do?" I asked, looking at the Prime before looking at my Carrier and Creator. "I can't stop him myself."

"You will not be alone, son." Megatronus said warmly. "We will be watching and guiding you."

"You have the Autobots with you." Solus smiled. "You will get through this. This may be your biggest challenge yet."

"One that may prove your worth as a Prime." Prima said with a nod.

"Here's what you need to do when you awaken." Alpha Tripn said and I nodded. "You've been in recharge for a couple of hours now. In that time, Rafael has been infected with Dark Energon at Megatron's hands. Optimus has gone to these coordinates to confront Megatron." I felt coordinates being sent to me. "Go there and confront the Decepticon Warlord. He is the one who holds Dark Energon through his veins and must be stopped."

"I won't let you down." I said determined.

"We know you won, son." Megatronus said with a smile as Solus walked up and kissed my forehead.

"Be safe, sweetspark." She said softly.

"I will Mom." I said with a nod and felt myself awakening.

After awakening, I locked in the coordinates and left through the bridge without anyone noticing. I transformed into jet mode and blasted off into the air as fast as I could go. It didn't take me long to arrive at the volcanic site where I saw Megatron battling Optimus, and Megatron was winning as he knocked Optimus down with a huge uppercut.

I boosted and transformed with a war cry as I tackled Megatron from behind and threw him into a wall, unsheathing my swords as Megatron shook his helm and stood, spotting me and he chuckled.

"Well, well, look who finally arrives." Megatron said with a sneer. "The last time we met... you said you would kill me. I suppose today is that day."

"What do you think?" I asked. Megatron chuckled again before he deployed his sword and we charged at one another with war cries, Megatron doing a leaping spin attack but I blocked his sword with my own. I remembered our last fight in my mind when Megatron was stuck inside my head, trying to use me to return to his own body. I knew Megatron was far more skilled than me due to being a gladiator from Kaon, but I had to try and end this now.

However, Megatron was powered by Dark Energon and it was making him stronger than our last fight.

Megatron kneed me in the tank then gave me a huge uppercut that sent me rolling, but I dug my swords into the ground to prevent me from going any further as Megatron approached.

"A strong fighter, boy. And you deceived me well when you were in my head for the Cybonic Plague." Megatron said as he stood over me and raised his sword. "You would've made a fine Decepticon."

I blocked his sword with my own, glaring at him defiantly. "I chose my side." I growled.

"And that choice will be your undoing!" Megatron said before he blasted me with his cannons, ending up with me rolling back to where Optimus was. I groaned before the volcano exploded, pouring... Dark Energon?

Megatron stood over Optimus and I, and laughed when he saw the Dark Energon. "Well, well, it seems the blood of Unicron I've been seeking is not out there in space, but rather... right here!" Megatron proclaimed.

"Dark Energon... erupting from the Earth?" Optimus said in disbelief.

Megatron stood over us and raised his sword arm in victory.

'This is not good...'
