On Cybertron, Luz and Arcee continued to make their way through the ruins of Kaon before the Hispanic girl noticed the Key to Vector Sigma glowing brighter.
"Looks like we're getting close." Luz said, following where the key was shining at.
She and Arcee then found themselves walking into some kind of arena with a ginormous statue of Megatron above the entrance.
"So, is this supposed to be Megatron's domain?" Luz asked.
"The gladiatorial arena." Arcee replied.
Just then, the two of them felt shaking beneath the surface and a bunch of cracks appeared on the floor while the Key Card shined brighter than ever. Suddenly, a giant structure bursted out of the ground and the girls had a hunch this is what they're looking for, so they approached it. The structure's door then glowed blue and opened up, showing a dark entrance to Luz and Arcee.
"I'm guessing Vector Sigma's in there?" Luz questioned.
"Kaon didn't always belong to the Decepticons. Megatron took it as a capital, apparently without ever realising what laid beneath their feet." Arcee said.
However, they began to notice some rocks falling down from the structure and they looked up to see the insect Cybertronian glaring down at them before leaping down with a vicious roar. Arcee quickly grabbed Luz and they both avoided the insect Cybertronian's punch before the female Autobot began firing her blaster at the creature. When it saw Arcee's Autobot symbol, the insect Cybertronian cried out furiously before immediately ramming Arcee into a metal pillar, making her collapse with a painful groan.
"Arcee!" Luz exclaimed worriedly.
But this proved to be a mistake as the insect Cybertronian heard her and turned to look at her and the Key Card with a loud roar. It began charging at Luz before she quickly brought out an Ive Glyph and planted it on the floor, lifting herself off the ground with an ice pillar and making the insect Cybertronian crash face-first into it.
"Eat this, sucka!" Luz yelled, jumping off the ice pillar and shooting a Fire Glyph at the insect Cybertronian.
The fire blast made contact with the creature's face and it screeched in pain while trying to wipe the flames off. As Luz safely landed back down, the insect Cybertronian glared at her with a burnt face and attempted to attack her again, only for Arcee to then fire her blasters at it and draw the insect Cybertronian away.
"Luz, what's going on?" Amity asked in concern on the com-link.
"We're being attacked by some kind of giant robo-bug!" Luz stated.

At the Space Bridge controls, the Autobots and Hexside Trio didn't know what Luz was talking about, but Ratchet did.
"An Insecticon!" Ratchet realised.
"A what?" Willow questioned.
"They're a species of primitive Cybertronians that used to live in Cybertron's underground areas, until the war made them come to the surface for new sources of Energon." Cliffjumper explained. "To make it worse, Megatron ended up convincing all of them to become new members of the Decepticons."
"But, what are bug Decepticons even doing on Cybertron?" Vee asked from the Autobot base.
"A few remained in stasis as sentries, should the enemy return." Ratchet answered.
(Linebreak)
Arcee stood on a pillar and fired at the Insecticon before the bug-like Cybertronian fired it's own laser blast. The female Autobot quickly jumped down the pillar and transformed, driving away as the Insecticon gave chase. Arcee transformed and avoided the Insecticon from bellow while firing her blasters at it.
"Luz, go!" Arcee told her human partner.
"Wait, what?!" Luz asked surprisingly, feeling worried for the female Autobot's life.
(Linebreak)
"Without Arcee?" Hunter questioned as he and the others heard this.
"But, she's supposed to be her guide." Camila reminded.
"No, Mrs Noceda. Arcee is Luz's backup." Ratchet replied on the com-link. "The Key Card is her guide."
"And if Luz ends up meeting something in that chamber, I'm sure she'll take 'em down with her magic." Jazz reassured.
(Linebreak)
Arcee continued firing at the Insecticon while leaping around it to keep it confused.
"Do it! Don't think about me!" Arcee called out to Luz.
"Listen to her, Luz." Camila added. "You've already made it this far. Optimus is counting on you."
"We all know you can do it, Luz." Amity said encouragingly.
"You've already done a lot to help us, not you've gotta do what Optimus needs you to do." Gus encouraged.
Luz looked at the glowing Key Card in her hand and understood what she needed to do.
"I got it, you guys." Luz said, stepping into the chamber.
The doors began to close up once she was in and Luz could only watch Arcee fight off the Insecticon before the entrance was fully closed. Luz looked into the dark pathway that lead straight to Vector Sigma, putting on a determined look.
"I won't let you down, Optimus." Luz said to herself.
(Linebreak)
Onboard the Nemesis, Megatron walked into Orion's workstation.
"Orion, have you made progress with Project Iacon?" Megatron asked.
"It seems I am a bit rustier than I thought." Orion answered, turning to face him.
"Might that have anything to do with the nature of your after-hours research?" Megatron questioned as he approached the terminal. "Did I fail to mention that we would be tracking your activities?"
When he pressed a button, the screen then showed the files on Optimus Prime that Orion discovered about himself being said Autobot leader. Orion knew that he couldn't keep his questions in anymore.
"Why does history portray me siding with the Autobot aggressors? And why did Starscream call me a Prime?" Orion asked, desperate to know the truth this time. "I must know, who am I?"
"You are my clerk. Now get back to work and decode that database." Megatron ordered firmly.
Orion took a look at the screen and his Spark was telling him to do what was correct.
"No. I would rather erase my findings than making them available for your questionable use." Orion said before he pressed a button, deleting everything on the screen.
Orion began to leave the room, until Megatron laughed and he turned around to see the Decepticon leader press another button and bring back all of his Project Iacon data, much to Orion's surprise.
"Did you really think that we wouldn't be tracking and documenting every iota of your valuable research?" Megatron asked with a smirk.
Just then, Soundwave entered the room and he used his screen-like face to display a beeping signal on Cybertron to his leader.
"One of our sentries was activated on Cybertron?" Megatron questioned in surprise.
"You told me our planet was dead." Orion reminded.
"That is beside the point! Guards!" Megatron called out before he brought out his blade, moving it near Orion's neck. "You will finish Project Iacon by the time I return, or I will carve out your Spark before your very eyes."
(Linebreak)
Back on Cybertron, Arcee was continuing to fire her blasters at the Insecticon as none of the shots had any effect on it. The Insecticon attempted to smash Arcee and she dodged the attack before kicking the creature in the jaw. When Arcee landed on the floor, the Insecticon used it's extra limbs to attack and she quickly leaped away before climbing onto one of the pillars. Arcee once again fired her blasters and the Insecticon roared at her before it transformed into a bug possessing a large horn and wings that allowed it to fly. The Insecticon then rammed straight into Arcee and she crashed against the wall, making her crash down and become unconscious.
Thinking that Arcee had been terminated, the Insecticon flew towards the ancient chamber and transformed into it's robot form before tearing the door right off. The Insecticon tossed the door away and ran into the chamber, with the intent to finish off it's other victim.
(Linebreak)
At the same time, Luz was continuing to make her way towards Vector Sigma while using the Key Card's light to guide herself. However, she didn't know that she had just walked past a Scraplet as it crawled along the walls. Luz heard it's metallic footsteps and turned around to see nothing but scrape marks on the walls, putting her a little on edge.
"Take it easy, Luz. You've got nothing to be scared of when you have your magic." Luz said to herself, sighing calmly. "Remember what you're here to do. You need to find Vector Sigma and download Optimus' memories so he can become himself again."
The Hispanic girl brought out a few Glyphs for later use and walked further into the chamber, while a bunch more Scraplets were shown eating metal behind her.
(Linebreak)
Soundwave was now showing that the Decepticon Space Bridge had been recently activated as Megatron had a feeling he knew who used it in the first place.
"The activity log indicates my Space Bridge was set for Cybertron, and remains open." Megatron said. "The only possible reason the Autobots would take such a risk…would be to restore their precious Optimus Prime."
(Linebreak)
Back with Luz, she soon found herself facing another closed door before the Key Card started glowing brightly again. The door then also glowed and it opened up, revealing a bright light that made Luz cover her eyes a bit. When she opened them, she gasped in amazement at seeing a large chamber with a bridge leading towards the center of it. Luz smiled and began walking across the bridge.
"Guys, I made it." Luz told everyone on the com-link.
(Linebreak)
Amity, Willow and Gus cheered in happiness after they heard this at the Space Bridge controls.
"I knew she could do it!" Gus stated.
"That kid's something else." Wheeljack complemented.
(Linebreak)
Luz then reached the middle of the chamber and a part of it glowed like the Key Card she was holding.
"Guess I know what to do, now." Luz said before she placed the Key Card down.
It then suddenly shifted into a much larger size and the entire circular center began glowing in a blue light before the part Luz was standing on moved to the very back, much to her surprise. The Hispanic girl stumbled down once it stopped and the structure rose up, making her slid right off it. When Luz turned around, she was astounded to see a giant bright orb with metallic circles moving around it.
"Wow. This is incredible. I wish Eda and King were here to see it." Luz said before seeing some blue energy download into the Key Card. "The download's starting now, everyone."
(Linebreak)
"And so far, we haven't had to battle any Decepticons." Willow said with a smile.
"Once we get the Matrix energy in that Key Card, we've just gotta find the Nemesis then put that stuff in Prime." Jazz told his team, feeling very hopeful at the moment.
"You said it, Jazz." Bumblebee replied in agreement.
"Soon, Optimus." Ratchet whispered.
(Linebreak)
Meanwhile, the Vehicon guards who were watching Orion noticed that he had stopped working on Project Iacon.
"No one told you to stop, Pax." A Vehicon said firmly before he and his partner aimed their blasters at the Iacon archivist.
But even with his life threatened, Orion did not continue his work and turned around.
"I believe Megatron intends to use whatever he finds in Project Iacon to harm the Autobots." Orion said, approaching the Vehicons. "Please, we can warn them."
However, a Vehicon punched him in the guts and Orion groaned painfully before being smacked down and kicked. Orion looked up at the Vehicons, who prepared to do the worst to him.
(Linebreak)
Back at Vector Sigma, Luz was still waiting for the Matrix energy to be fully transferred into the Key Card.
"Okay, this is taking longer than I thought." Luz admitted.
"Of course it is. We are talking about the collective wisdom of the Primes." Ratchet reminded.
But then, a whole bunch of Scraplets started to crawl on the entrance walls behind Luz while eating all the metal they could find. When they looked ahead to see Luz standing in front of Vector Sigma, they saw that it was entirely red in their vision and they brought out their deadly teeth while making their common noise. Luz heard them and turned around, becoming shocked and worried to see Scraplets in the chamber with her.
"Gah!" Luz yelped.
The Scraplets flew straight at Vector Sigma and Luz immediately used two Fire Glyphs to burn a few of them before taking out a Plant Glyph, summoning vines that crushed more Scraplets in their grip. Unfortunately, the remaining Scraplets managed to get past Luz and they all started eating their way through Vector Sigma.
"What is it, Luz?" Ratchet asked, having heard the commotion on the com-link.
"Scraplets! They're eating the whole Big V!" Luz stated.
(Linebreak)
"What's a Scraplet?" Camila questioned.
"They're tiny robots that like eating Cybertronians on a daily basis." Vee answered worriedly. "We had to deal with a lot of them before."
(Linebreak)
"Why did it have to be Scraplets?" Bulkhead asked in complaint.
"If they chew through Vector Sigma before the Matrix fully reloads…" Ratchet started.
"We're not gonna get Optimus back." Amity finished, panicking on the inside.
"So, Vector Sigma is more than legend." A familiar and sinister voice said from behind.
The Autobots, Amity, Willow and Gus turned around to see Megatron stepping out of a Ground Bridge behind them, causing them all to immediately get in a fighting stance.
"You Autobots and Witches have gone to impressive lengths to recover your leader. Be assured, I shall never underestimate you again." Megatron vowed with a glare before he walked onto the main platform. "Now, I assume the one called Arcee will be stepping through that portal, with the reloaded Matrix of Leadership in hand."
"We're not gonna let you stop us, Mega-jerk." Willow said firmly before she, Amity and Gus summoned their staffs.
"If you wanna destroy that Matrix, you'll have to go through us." Gus declared.
"We're with you, kids." Cliffjumper said, standing next to the Hexside trio with the other Bots.
"We hold the Space Bridge at all costs!" Ratchet stated.
He brought out his blades while the Autobots brought out their blasters before they charged at Megatron alongside the Hexside Squad. Bulkhead, Bumblebee, Cliffjumper, Wheeljack and Jazz fired their blasters at Megatron, who was unfazed by the attacks and sent Bulkhead flying back with a powerful punch. Ratchet and Wheeljack attempted to strike Megatron with their blades, but the Decepticon leader grabbed them by their heads and tossed them away. Bumblebee ran to the side while relentlessly firing his blasters, only for him to get grabbed by Megatron and tossed onto the metal floor. Amity suddenly flew in front of Megatron on her staff and summoned two large Abomination fists, striking the Decepticon leader and making him skid back. Willow got behind Megatron and summoned a bunch of vines that grabbed his arms, causing the Decepticon leader to struggle against them in anger before Gus flew in front him.
"Remember me, Megatron?!" Gus asked tauntingly, grabbing his magic amplifier and aiming it at Megatron.
His eyes and hands began to glow blue and Megatron started to see memories that he wasn't very fond of. Memories of his time on Cybertron that he never wanted to remember for the rest of his life. Megatron cried out in agony before ripping the vines off his arms and clenching his head.
"Stop this! Get these memories out of my head!" Megatron yelled frantically before he swatted Gus away, making him crash against a pillar and groan painfully.
"Gus!" Willow exclaimed.
As Megatron's bad memories faded away, the Decepticon leader glared down at Willow and fired his cannon at her, causing the Plant witch girl to create a vine shield around herself. The first two blaster shots bounced off the shield, but the next one blasted it apart and Willow was blown back.
"You're going to regret that!" Amity shouted angrily before charging at Megatron with an Abomination sword.
She jumped at Megatron and swiped her sword at him, but Megatron used his arm cannon to block the attack and then punched Amity with his other fist. The pink-haired witch crashed onto her back and gritted her teeth in pain as she attempted to get back up, only for Megatron to stand over her and then slam his foot onto left arm. Amity let out a scream of pain as Megatron removed his foot from her arm, revealing it to be completely broken and out of shape.
"Amity!" Cliffjumper called out in horror before he angrily rammed Megatron away.
Willow quickly saw Amity's injured state and wasted no time in running towards her, while Cliffjumper kept Megatron busy.
"Amity, are you alright?!" Willow asked in worridness.
"My… my arm. It's completely broken." Amity said, scowling in pain.
Just then, Megatron grabbed Cliffjumper's fist as they were battling and he slammed him onto the ground before kicking the red Autobot away. He then started approaching Amity and Willow while taking out his blade.
"How easily you fleshlings are broken." Megatron said mockingly, preparing to kill them.
However, Ratchet tackled Megatron from behind and the Decepticon leader easily shook him off before tossing him into a pillar. Jazz used his energy grapple to leap onto a different pillar and fired his blasters at Megatron to lure him away from the others. When Megatron noticed him jumping from pillar to pillar, he carefully anticipated his next move and managed to fire a shot in Jazz's chest as he crashed back down.
"You're going down, bucket-head!" Bulkhead stated as he tackled Megatron and they both fell off the control platform, crashing into the wall.
As she laid Amity down to rest, Willow's eyes glowed green with anger and she formed two large vine fists on her hands before rushing off the platform to help her Autobot guardian against Megatron.
(Linebreak)
Back on Cybertron, Arcee continued to lay unconscious before she gasped herself awake. She sat up and then noticed a Scraplet was eating her right foot before blasting it to pieces.
"Luz?" Arcee said, looking around for her human partner.
When she saw the door to Vector Sigma had been torn open, she realised Luz was in trouble and quickly transformed into her vehicle form before driving in.
(Linebreak)
Inside, Luz used her Ice Glyphs to freeze some Scraplets off Vector Sigma and then a bunch of Fire Glyphs to burn them all alive. She even used several Plant Glyphs to swat them off. But no matter how hard Luz tried, more and more Scraplets kept eating Vector Sigma as the mystical machine began to slowly shut down.
"No, no, no! Don't quit now!" Luz begged worriedly. "I can't let Optimus down!"
Luz then began hearing a buzzing noise from within the entrance she walked through, almost sounding like an engine.
"Arcee." Luz said in relief, thinking it was her Autobot guardian.
Unfortunately, the figure who was making the buzzing noise was revealed to be the Insecticon, which flew upwards and transformed before landing in front of Luz. The Insecticon glared menacingly at Luz as the Hispanic girl quickly brought out some more Glyphs.
"Back off, bug!" Luz ordered as she and the Insecticon prepared to fight.
But before it could attack, the Insecticon noticed the Scraplets eating Vector Sigma behind Luz and it backed away in fear. Luz noticed this and she began to smirk when an idea came into her head, grabbing one of the Scraplets.
"Hey, little fellas! It's time for the main course!" Luz stated before tossing the Scraplet at the Insecticon.
The Insecticon tried to run away, but the Scraplet ended up clinging to it's face and the other tiny metal-eaters took notice of the creature as well before they flew away from Vector Sigma to join the feast. As the Insecticon saw the Scraplet eating it's arm, it screeched in fear and tried to shake it off before the other Scraplets began feasting on it's body. The Insecticon cried out in pain, literally falling apart and collapsing off the bridge towards the bottom, with the Scraplets following to eat whatever is left.
"That takes care of that." Luz commented before she saw Vector Sigma regaining it's full power, installing the last of the Matrix energy into the Key Card.
As the Key Card glowed brighter, a loud beeping sound went off the large sphere went back to where it came from, making the door shut close. Luz ran towards the Key Card and saw that it had reverted back to it's smaller size before she picked it up. She began to head towards the exit, only for Arcee to show up and transform in front of her.
"I've got the Matrix, Arcee." Luz said, showing the Key Card.
"Let's roll." Arcee replied with a smile.
(Linebreak)
At the same time, Megatron caught Bulkhead's incoming wrecking ball and then tossed him hardly into a wall, making the dark-green Wrecker collapse alongside the others as they had shown to be defeated. Willow shouted out and attempted to hit Megatron with her vine fists, only for the Decepticon leader to blast her away and make her crash against Jazz. Seeing his enemies defeated, Megatron turned his attention towards the Space Bridge and approached it.
(Linebreak)
Orion was being beaten up by the two Vehicons as they both continuously kicked him.
"You have to admit, it's a privilege to stomp the former leader of the Autobots." One of the Vehicons said.
Orion was shocked to hear this and he looked at the terminal that was describing him as Optimus Prime. The Vehicons then began to beat him up relentlessly.
"No, please. Stop. Enough!" Orion pleaded before his blasters suddenly appeared from his hands, surprising the Vehicons and himself. "I'm…armed?"
The Vehicons fired their blasters at Orion, who shielded himself and unintentionally shot his own blasters at them. When Orion heard a crashing noise, he saw the Vehicons laying on the floor and offline before looking at his weapons, figuring out what to do next.
(Linebreak)
Arcee was seen driving her way back to the Space Bridge portal with Luz riding her.
"We're almost there." Luz said, spotting the Space Bridge ahead of them.
"Ratchet, we have the Matrix. We're coming through." Arcee informed on the com-link.
However, Arcee didn't get a response and she transformed while Luz hopped off her.
"Ratchet?" Arcee asked as they both stood in front of the Space Bridge.
"Arcee, I'm starting to get a bad feeling." Luz told her Autobot guardian in concern.
"Me too. Something's wrong." Arcee agreed.
On the other side of the Space Bridge, Megatron brought out his blade and waited for them to walk through the Space Bridge with a sinister grin.
"But, we can't just stand here forever." Luz admitted.
(Linebreak)
"Come, Arcee, so that I might end the lineage of the Primes for all times." Megatron said maliciously.
"I cannot allow that to happen, Megatron." A voice replied.
Megatron turned around to see Orion Pax emerging from a Ground Bridge. Amity managed to slightly recover and held her broken arm before seeing Orion, much to her surprise.
"Optimus." Amity whispered.
"And why should you care, Orion Pax?" Megatron questioned. "You are no Prime."
"That may be true, or yet another deception. But this much I do know, my sympathies lie with the Autobots. And you are not one of us." Orion announced.
He brought out both his blades and charged at Megatron to strike him, but the Decepticon uses his arm cannon to block him and then punched him in the gut. Orion kneeled down in pain as Megatron loomed over him.
"Your Spark may be in the right place, Orion…" Megatron said before knocking his old foe down. "But you have much to learn before you can hope to ever again stand your ground against me. A moment, sadly, which will never come."
Megatron prepared to finish off Orion with his blade, only for Arcee to drive out of the Space Bridge and immediately transform before tackling him away. Orion looked back to see Arcee and Megatron battle each other before he looked down to see Luz standing in front of him, holding the Key Card up to him. Orion recognised the Key to Vector Sigma and was surprised that Luz was presenting it to him.
"Are you certain I am worthy?" Orion asked.
"You have no idea. There's no other Cybertronian with a greater Spark that deserves this than you." Luz proclaimed. "You believed in me before, Orion. And now, I'm believing in you."
She then fired a beam of pure energy into Orion's chest, which opened up to reveal the Matrix of Leadership. Amity saw this and she limped her way over to Ratchet, nudging him to get up.
"Ratchet, come on. You need to get up." Amity said.
Ratchet was able to hear the Abomination witch girl and looked up to see Luz installing the Matrix energy back into Orion. Arcee continuously fired her blasters at Megatron before the Decepticon leader grabbed her and pinned her to a pillar.
"How nice of you to join our little reunion. Now if you please, the Matrix." Megatron demanded.
However, he began hearing strange noises and looked back before his eyes widened in horror at seeing Luz giving Orion the energy of the Matrix. He dropped Arcee and began rushing towards them, prompting Ratchet to stand back up and run at the Decepticon leader with Amity following behind. Megatron simply smacked Ratchet away, but his legs got grabbed by some Abomination goo and he looked behind to see Amity emitting a magic circle with her unbroken hand. Megatron immediately blasted Amity away with a shot from his cannon and the Abomination goo disappeared, allowing him to rush towards Luz and Orion.
When all of the energy disappeared, the Key Card floated out of Luz's hand and Orion grabbed it with a determined expression on his face, while his chest sealed up the now fully energised Matrix. Megatron immediately brought his blade back out to end this, once and for all.
"NO!" The Decepticon leader yelled, throwing his blade down to Orion.
However, Orion was easily able to grab the blade with his bare hands.
"Megatron…" Optimus Prime said before activating his battle mask, much to Megatron's shock. "Be gone!"
Optimus punched Megatron in the face and did the same thing over and over, having regained his strength and status as Autobot leader. Arcee, Bulkhead, Bumblebee, Cliffjumper, Wheeljack, Jazz, Ratchet, Amity, Willow and Gus then recovered to see Optimus uppercut Megatron into the stone wall and crash onto the floor. Luz smiled brightly as her three friends regrouped with her, giving her big hugs.
"We knew you could do it, Luz." Willow said kindly.
"You really are the best." Gus added.
"Thanks, you guys." Luz replied before she gasped in shock at seeing Amity's broken arm. "Oh my gosh! Amity, your arm!"
"It'll be okay, Luz. I've had a broken foot, remember?" Amity reminded, keeping on a small smile.
"Ratchet, how did we arrive here?" Optimus asked as the Autobots regrouped with him.
"Long story, old friend." Ratchet answered.
(Linebreak)
"Base to Arcee, we're reading eight Autobot life signals." Fowler informed on the communicator. "Is Prime with you?"
"And Luz." Arcee answered.
"Yes!" Hunter remarked.
"She did it!" Vee said cheerfully.
The three of them turned to Camila, who let out a breath of relief.
(Linebreak)
Megatron suddenly climbed the platform with a mad growl and the Autobots began firing their blasters at him before a Ground Bridge showed up on their right.
"It's ours!" Cliffjumper stated.
"Autobots, fall back!" Optimus ordered.
"That does for us, too!" Luz added before Arcee picked her up and they ran into the Ground Bridge.
Megatron got back on the platform and started charging at the Autobots as Cliffjumper picked up Amity.
"We're going home, Mittens!" Cliffjumper announced, jumping into the Ground Bridge.
"This time, he's coming with us!" Bulkhead told Megatron as Ratchet ran into the Ground Bridge with Jazz by his side.
"Smell you later, bucket-head!" Wheeljack shouted, picking up Gus.
"Loser!" Gus mocked.
They both ran into the Ground Bridge as Bumblebee did the same thing, while Bulkhead picked up Willow and followed the others. Optimus was the only one left as he was firing his blaster at Megatron, who continued to charge at him and fire his cannon. Without anything else to do, Optimus jumped to the side and made it into the Ground Bridge before it closed up. Megatron then stopped and let out a shout of anger, making it echo across the mine.
(Linebreak)
Hunter, Vee, Fowler and Camila rushed up to the Ground Bridge and waited for the others to emerge from it. Luz and Arcee then walked out of the green vortex and the Hispanic girl removed her helmet, much to Camila's happiness.
"Luz!" Camila called out, rushing to her daughter and embracing her.
The Hexside Trio and the other Autobots then walked from the Ground Bridge and Hunter and Vee quickly approached them.
"We're glad you're all back." Hunter said in relief.
"Uh, Amity? Is your arm okay?" Vee asked worriedly, noticing the Abomination witch girl's broken arm.
"It's fine, Vee. I'll just get it patched up." Amity reassured.
"We managed to survive a battle with Megatron. That's something I'll never forget." Gus said with a chuckle.
"None of us will." Bumblebee added.
"Hey, I think we're all forgetting someone." Jazz told everyone, gesturing to the Ground Bridge.
When they looked into the Ground Bridge, Optimus emerged out of it and he looked down at the Hexside Squad.
"Optimus?" Willow asked hopefully.
"Hello, Willow." Optimus replied, smiling kindly.
"Wow!" Amity gasped in amazement.
"He remembers us!" Vee remarked.
"Alright!" Gus cheered.
"Everything is back to normal, now." Hunter said with a smile.
"Although it seems there is much I do not remember." Optimus admitted, noticing the Decepticon symbol on his shoulder.
"We'll explain everything later. For now, we're just happy to have you back with us." Luz said with a big smile, earning a nod from the Autobot leader. "And…thanks for believing in me."
"Optimus, it has truly been our darkest hour. But know this. From every indication, your Spark never ceased being that of an Autobot." Ratchet expressed kindly as everyone else continued to be happy for the return of Optimus Prime.
Prime is back. Now, the next part of the adventure begins.
