(Hi All! Hold on from skipping this because I have A LOT to say before this long chapter gets started!

I apologize to any lingering followers for how long it took, especially since I wanted to get this done during the summer and not on Labor Day. And let me tell you this chapter was VERY LONG to make. about 29 pages worth, sorry about that...

Let me tell you finding all the things involving Megatronus' past, as we know of in the Covenant of Primus Book that came out a little over 10 yrs ago, was very difficult to find with how the Exodus and aparently other books of the Aligned Continuity seem to portray him as how G1 and most of the other Continuities do. Especially since the version of him being seen as a pure villain, like Unicron, seems to be overpowering how he was BEFORE he fell such as the person whom he was.

Shame that not many people believe that the story of the 13 Primes should be explored and viewed more compared to the modern Cybertronians with the human old "Autobot vs Decepticon" conflicts that we've known about since the franchise came out in 1984, Gosh... that's like... *Pauses to do some calculations* I think 39 yrs ago. and next year's gonna be the big 40 isn't it?

And well this chapter should be able to also get the ball rolling as things get more active during the months after the fall of beacon and the arrival of the Heralds of Chaos. Like some other previous chapters I plan to quote and add scenes from the canon sources for the sake of accuracy. because as much as we love the flexibility of the Aligned Continuity's point between the games, the books, and the cartoon series, there has to be SOME things that are constant, don't you think? Don't you all agree?Some of the stuff I learned about the 13 and stuff I found on Youtube thanks to Chris McFeely's "Transformers: The Basics" videos really helped fill in the blanks that I had from when I read the COP book when I got it years ago... before I... *whispers* lost it...

I'm also trying a different method of writing for one of my stories, and maybe you'll find out which ones in the months that follow as I am close to finishing Chris Nest's Ruby Heat story for him.

Well anyway...

This is another story relating to Transformers RWBY that was started by Ryujudge6614, if you read this but do not know about anything else I ask you to read "Transformers RWBY: Flames of Redemption" by RyuJudge6614 and "Transformers RWBY: Light of Hope" by myself to help fill in the blanks of this story. Since they all co-inside with each other in some way.

Now please Read, Review, and Enjoy, No flames please.)


In the Land of Darkness, the main center of power and foothold of Salem and her forces, stood a lone Keep, the only sign of life in this desolate and dangerous land.

Outside of the keep, a pool of black liquid in a dark red and purple land. A large paw emerged from within the slime and a Beowolf gradually crawled out, the liquid sliding off of it and onto the ground.

Soon, many more Beowolves emerged from other pools next to that one.

Watching from the keep, which showed a horizon of a mostly dark and desolate land made up of red ground, purple crystals, and a red and black clouded sky. Mercury Black and Emerald Sustrai inside the high window of Salam's Keep. Emerald had her hand to her mouth while Mercury seemed slightly disgusted. They could hear the sound of a glove covered fingers snapping them.

A wide shot revealed a large windowed room, at the center of which was a long purple, crystal table. Seven people sit at the table with seven chairs. One of them was Cinder. Emerald and Mercury move away from the window to join them.

Sitting across from Cinder was Arthur. The Atlassian scientist was looking at his Scroll.

Next to Cinder's immediate right, Starscream sat, still nursing the injury he received from Shockwave's little 'tantrum' after their session about two months ago when the scientist probed Starscream's memories. Next to the irate Air-commander was Tyrian. The Scorpion Faunus sat in a crouch, casually on his chair, resting his arms on his knees.

Across from Tyrian was Hazel. His arms were crossed, and his eyes shut. On Hazel's left was Shockwave, still in full armor while his helmet, resembling his Cybertronians form blocked anyone from seeing his expression. Sitting at the foot of the table was Airachnid as she sipped on a turquoise-colored liquid in her hand. A concoction that Shockwave developed to hold her hunger back so she would not try to feed on any of them.

Cinder sat quietly, while Mercury and Emerald moved to her side, she nudged Mercury out of her way so that she can be directly next to Cinder. Only… To glower at how the 'alien war machine' was sitting next to Cinder as though they were close.

"Yes, yes, please keep your posse in check." Watts callously goaded.

Mercury grunted and make a move toward Watts, but Emerald held him back.

Watts turned to those on his left and asked, "You hear that? Silence."

Hazel gave Watts an unimpressed sideways glance for all the doctor's taunts. Shockwave remained silent as he sat and waited.

Watts continued on his malicious verbal assault on Cinder, "I've half a mind to thank the little girl that bested you."

"Well at least she's focusing on healing the damage done to her by that impudent wretch of Protoform." Starscream shot at the scientist, "Honestly, have you nothing better to do than to try and steal more about Cybertronian technology or be so dejecting on her like this? I sometimes wonder how her grace got anything done before we arrive."

Watts narrowed his eyes at this. Unlike Shockwave who was a professional scientist, this former commander had been getting in his way to learn more of a better technology especially for Salem's goals.

"Well, well, this is a surprise coming from you Starscream. I thought after everything you'd still be… what do the humans call it? Pigheaded in your superiority?" Airachnid jabbed at him placing her glass down.

"If I were you, I'd hunt her down." Tyrian said from his seat to Cinder, snickering, "Find her and, well, she took your eye, didn't she?"

Cinder only stared at Tyrian while he cackled at her. She tried to speak but only managed to make quiet exhaling noises. Emerald leaned in to hear her.

Watts then continued "Pathetic. Why did you even—"

There was a sound of a heavy metal door being unlatched. The doors behind Airachnid opened and everyone, well most, stood just before Salem entered. Behind her was the warrior with the black armor, now wearing his mask which was styled after a Grimm. She glided alongside the table with soft footsteps before reaching the head of it, the jewels jangling from her hair. Salem stopped, facing away from them and toward a candle and crystal display. The Warrior of Darkness remained where he was at the side, not particularly being close to the table as the other Heralds. He had no concerns about sitting and waiting when there was work to be done. Well… those of them that wouldn't attack on sight or require the "Benefactor" to order it.

"Watts." She spoke for the first time after entering the room. Watts straightened, looking toward the head of the table, at her. Turning she asked the scientist, "Do you find such malignance necessary?"

She gestured for all to sat down. And they did, minus the dark warrior and Watts.

"I apologize, ma'am. I'm not particularly fond of failure." Watts explained, as he and Salem sat simultaneously after he answered her question.

"Then, as Commander Starscream does, I see no reason for your cruelty towards young Cinder." Salem told her before listing off Cinder's accomplishments, "She's become our Fall Maiden, destroyed Beacon Tower, and most importantly, killed dear Ozpin."

She then asked, "So I'm curious, to what failures are you referring?"

"Well, the girl with the Silver Eyes." Watts answered.

"Yes." Hazel spoke up for the first time during this meeting, "We've dealt with their kind before. How is it a novice was able to best one of us?"

"I'm curious as to how such a powerful being as this 'Maiden', could lose to a child, like that, myself." Airachnid quipped. She had never been one for myths and legends, but after seeing Unicron almost destroy Earth and also meeting someone who claimed to serve the Destroyer, she could not help but feel a certain intimidation when evidence had presented itself.

"My thoughts exactly." Watts agreed, surprising himself that he could agree with someone whom he saw as insane as Tyrian, "Even without her new power, it should have been effortless."

"It is because of the Maiden's power." Salem informed them all. She turned her attention on her Fall Maiden, "Make no mistake, Cinder, you hold the key to our victory. But your newfound strength brings with it a crippling weakness. Which is why you will remain by my side as we continue your treatment. Especially as Commander Starscream and our masked ally work with those semblances of theirs."

Cinder was unhappy about this and lowered her head. Emerald looked at her in sympathy. And she wasn't the only one. Only the Cybertronian on her right was able to hide it better. His training certainly had improved his disposition.

"Dr. Watts, you are to take Cinder's place and meet with our informant in Mistral." Salem ordered the scientist.

"Very good." Watts accepted his orders.

Salem then turned to her most devoted follower, "Tyrian, I want you to continue your hunt for the Spring Maiden."

Tyrian, laughing, said, "Gladly."

Salem turned to Shockwave, "Prof. Shockwave. I wish for you to continue your experiments in making this trans-dimensional gateway of your people as well as any others that will be very beneficial to our cause. Consider your 'suspension' lifted after you attacked the poor commander."

"As you wish." Shockwave answered, as devoid of emotion when they first met thanks to the emotional suppressor he invented. Deleting emotions, like how Soundwave had done since the start of the Decepticon cause, is wasn't as easy as it would've now that he was an organic human. Starscream glared. He did not forget or forgive what Shockwave did after making the recording of his memories and found out what he did with those brute fossils after Megatron exiled himself from Cybertron.

"And Hazel, I'm sending you to the leader of the White Fang. Adam Taurus has arranged the meeting. The boy continues to prove loyal. Ensure that Sienna Khan feels the same. Take Airachnid with you, I believe her… particular talents will be of great use to you before being dropped off at Menagerie. We must find out how well her skills, given her condition, works on those who are not of her origins."

Hazel calmly responded, "As you wish."

Cinder raised a finger. Emerald failed to notice this gesture for a moment. Starscream leaned in and hears what Cinder had to say. Emerald glared jealously at this… alien... being at Cinder's side instead of her.

"Speak, Commander." Salem addressed Starscream. The Air-commander turned to the mistress of the Grimm and relayed Cinder's wishes, "Cinder wants to know what should be done about the human girl with the silver-eyes?"

"What about her? Seems to me that this is Cinder's problem, not ours." Watts, scoffed.

"I agree. This seems to be an insignificant problem compared to the 'Scions of the Primes' our benefactor warned you about." The Dark Warrior added, speaking for the first time in this meeting, which made the scientist smirk. Glad to see even someone so broody and deadly could agree with him.

Cinder slammed her fist onto the table and glared at Watts, who grinned at her. Starscream narrowed his eyes at the doctor.

Airachnid hissed, looking at the doctor, interjecting this time on Cinder's behalf, "Don't be too sure about that, my good doctor. My own plans have been thwarted on Earth because of 'insignificant' problems."

"That's enough." Salem interrupted before there could be any fighting, "Tyrian."

"Yes, my lady?" Tyrian asked, pleasantly, at his queen.

"Spring can wait. Find the girl that did this to Cinder." Salem told him, which resulted in Tyrian giggling elatedly and clapped excitedly.

"And bring her to me, alive."

Salem's latest orders made Tyrian freeze in his madness, groan in disappointment, pouted for a second, then looked back up at Salem with an acquiescent shrug.

Salem then addressed those whom she knew the longest, "Because of your efforts, Beacon has fallen. And Haven will be next thanks to our new allies."

Everyone rose from their seats, to go about their new orders while the Tyrian snickered at Cinder and pointed to his left eye, "Eye for an eye."

Tyrian went into an uncontrollable fit of manic laughter, while Cinder grits her teeth. Only for Starscream to get up and snapped, "Silent you! Go and find the girl now! I doubt your precious 'goddess' wants to wait for you to make wise cracks!"

Immediately Starscream saw a glint of metal which made his body flash a bit before seeing Tyrian's furious face. Watts turned back and stopped the others, "Ah oh… looks like Starscream upset Tyrian."

Airachnid scoffed, "It's not the first time Starscream's tongue has got him into trouble."

"And it certainly won't be the last." She then proceeded along without a care in the world while Hazel, glanced back narrowed his eyes suspiciously before following out.

Tyrian gave Starscream the most defined expression of hate and fury as he hissed, "How dare you insult her divine ladyship like that! You're nothing but a giant tin-toy who's blessed to be in her presence! If she hadn't any need for you, I'd kill you on the spot!"

He then heard several sounds of weapons priming themselves and turned to see multiple Starscreams around him as the one he had smirked, "Sorry, wrong one."

Tyrian growled before his snarl became a smirk; then he chuckled before resuming the mad laughter he had before.


(AN: This part of the chapter has information gather from other media involved in the Aligned Continuity other than the games and cartoon series: such as the novels, especially the Covenant of Primus, in order to help make a clearer image of how things were during Megatronus' early life before Robots in Disguise 2015. Believe me. With my copy of the Covenant of Primus missing (as well as some healing), it took time to make sure all counts were accurate while adding my own things.)

Shockwave had finished his installations to the latest version of the Cordical Psychic Patch when the doors to his chambers opened. The one-eyed scientist turned to see the last member of their group. The one their benefactor, Thunderwing, had called 'The Heralds of Chaos". There stood Megatronus who looked very irate to be in the modern scientist's lab instead of fulfilling his duty.

Megatronus glared at the machine, "You are certain that this device will not ruin my mind?"

"No, I have even taken assurances that everything you say and recall will be recorded for future generations to know. After all it is not every day that we meet one of the thirteen original Primes." Shockwave assured The Fallen.

Megatronus narrowed his burning eyes and said, "Know that if you attempt to end me, I will snuff your spark before you can."

"Noted." Shockwave stated, knowing that the Prime was not making a threat, but a promise.

Megatronus got onto the berth and Shockwave connected the patch as the computer connected it to the file titled, "The Fallen".

The Figure's eyes became unfocused as he awaited.

"Now then begin at your earliest memories; after all, it's not every day we meet someone of your origins." Shockwave spoke.

"As you know, My name is Megatronus, and I am one of which you called "The thirteen", twin of Prima and Warrior of Darkness… or I was…"

(1)/Megatronus' optics come online, The initial scene he is seeing is so blinding he begin blinking his optics, adjusting to the light as he finds himself on a metallic wasteland with nothing but an empty horizon with the sun shining on the metal surface of what is going to be Cybertron.

"MEGATRONUS…" a fatherly, wise, and compassionate voice echoes in his mind. Megatronus examined himself, his armor, and the body frame of himself. As he did he felt strong, powerful, and able to take on anyone who dare threatens himself or his creator: Primus. He saw others two others, appear beside him, one with green armor, a cape, and small curved horns on his helm. And another… whose form resembled that of-/

Shockwave saw the image of the mysterious 13th Prime before the image became statically and shifted to a form that was more familiar to the one-eyed scientist, Optimus Prime, but in a form that seemed to resemble a merger between how he appeared on Cybertron and when Optimus had upgraded himself with the Forge of Solus Prime. The image showed how Optimus stood with Bumblebee and three other, newer generation Autobots on Earth after the Allspark had been restored to Cybertron.

Shockwave couldn't understand why Megatronus would see Optimus as the mysterious thirteen, when it was confirmed that Optimus, or Orion Pax, had emerged from the Allspark as any Cybertronian did after the Great Cataclysm.

Megatronus then spoke, "No doubt, as you know, my brethren and I were made by Primus to help him fight against his dark twin, Unicron: the chaos bringer…"

Megatronus stopped and sighed, "That was when I saw her…"

"Your victim, Solus Prime." Shockwave deduced, taking what he had studied about the thirteen from the oldest of their text told, which was said to be written by Prima before his disappearance. How Megatronus, jealous of Prima's leadership and the budding romance between Solus and Nexus, killed her in his attempt to gain more power and a jealous rage, and began a war amongst the Primes, only for Megatronus and his swayed brother Liege Maximo to be defeated and the mastermind, the Fallen, exiled for his crimes, "According the oldest historical text, that survived the Great Cataclysm, you killed her in a jealous fit when she refused to join you in your attempt to conquer Cybertron especially when you planned to betray her consort Nexus Prime."

Those words made The Fallen regain his senses and shout, "THAT IS A LIE! I LOVED HER!"

Shockwave found himself surprised to see himself jump back in fear at this outburst.

The anger faded, replaced with grief, he said, "I… I… I didn't mean to…"

In response to his emotions, the screen flared to life again. Shockwave saw a distorted, and static filled image of a figure, resembling Megatronus' Cybertornian build, cradling a figure in his arms. With no volume, it could be shown by his actions that he was mourning, especially as the building around him burned as two items laid across the room. The Forge of Solus Prime, and Megatronus' personal weapon, The Requiem Blaster.

Shockwave was about to implement a means to restrain the Fallen before the screen shifted to show, initially from Megatronus' point of view, the first combiner: Nexus Prime with the master smith and first of the female-like Cybertronians, as well as patron deity to those of the Colony World Caminus: Solus Prime, before the screen came out of Megatronus' point of view. Considering how no one truly knew about the time of the Primes before the Great Cataclysm, Shockwave allowed the illogical show of memory in order to unravel the mysteries of the Primes, something he had not been able to do in his life, much like how he was able to uncover the existence of The Dark Spark. So, Shockwave stood and watched the memory proceed, even if it was out of sync.

(2)/Megatronus glares seeing how Nexus is attracting attention from Solus, despite how he and Solus are in a relationship deeper than simply being creations of Primus. Something that their siblings can't possibly understand after the defeat of Unicron. Neither can Nexus if he is trying to woo Solus.

"Such a shame isn't it, when someone comes between you and that which you love most?" A sly voice askes. This voice made Megatronus turn to see the green armored, horned headed, thin-framed, Prime of the group, Liege Maximo, approaching him.

"What do you want Maximo?" Megatronus asks, returning his optics to Nexus speaking to Solus, while wishing that he has Onyx's enhanced senses to hear their conversation.

"When I heard how Nexus is attempting to woo Solus away from you, I came to comfort you, my friend." Liege Maximo states in a tone that conveys his concerns for his best friend, while the friend in question growls when he hears that. What his tactful brother says next, truly gets his spark raging, "Especially after how Prima's been making a list of who resembles Unicron the most out of all of us."

"What!?" Megatronus snaps, seeing the reflection of his optics glowing in response to his anger while he feels arms warming up. Maximo jumps at seeing the Warrior of Darkness' anger but he answers, fearfully, "It's true, I heard about it from him when he and Vector were speaking about the greatest threat to the universe would be the most chaotic of us. And I heard that you are the top of that list."

Megatronus growls as he hears this. It is true that he and his twin Prima never got along, but to actually be accusing him of being like Unicron… that's really pushing it.

Maximo sighing, places a… cautious hand on Megatronus' shoulder, "I'm sorry I had to tell you this, my friend, my brother, but I felt it was my right to warn you of what our 'wise leader' thinks of you… Especially when he believes that Solus and Nexus are a better pairing than you and she ever would be."

Megatronus' feels his anger building as his vision becomes as red as his optics look. Glaring at Nexus spending time with Solus.

Scene changes to show Megatronus forcing the new doors down as inside Prima and Vector, clearly shocked by this invasion and ready their weapons. Alpha Trion holding what the humans call a book and quill in his hands. Seeing Megatronus' visage doesn't pause the hostility in Prima's voice, "What is the meaning of this?!"

"My exact question, brother." Megatronus snarls, barreling through the furniture till he gets in Prima's face, "Chaotic and Evil, am I? Is that what thou truly think? THEN HAVE AT IT!"

Megatronus punches Prima squarely in the jaw, with the strength of the blow lifting the Warrior of Light off his feet and sending him crashlanding into Vector Prime. Crushing his mapping station, under their combined weight.

"Apologies," Megatronus spat, anger still dripping, "I felt chaotic."

The two Primes are getting up as Megatronus continues, "May-haps a fraction of the evil be true, made nearly last in the sequence of our births means not as good as you, doesn't it?!"

Megatronus lunges at Prima just as the eldest Prime stands. Prima blocks the jab from his darker twin and flips said twin over to the floor beneath. Megatronus rebounds and flies headfirst at Vector Prime's torso./

Shockwave was surprised to see how distorted the screen had become from Megatronus' emotions. However, even a Prime cannot alter the accounts of their own memories or past experience. The scene became red and erratic with the sounds of combat and items.

/The image returns to being clearer when Prima places his sword at Megatronus' neck. Megatronus glares at Prima's face as the elder twin points out, "Thou uncontrolled rage and unprovoked violence proves my point."

"Thou can shove thy blade point in the deepest crevasse where light does not reach." Megatronus swats the sword away with the back of his hand, stepping in Prima's inner field past the useable point of the sword. The two glare at each other with the deepest loathing as Megatronus remarks, "Hating one is not what a good bot does. I guess that makes thou less than perfect, does it?"

"What I said was merely classification of tendencies. A way to chart out most likely outcomes." Prima answers, then asks, "By why does this upset thee? Thou claims himself full of dreadful Unicron's shadows. Thou taketh deepest pride in that. How could I offend thee more by agreeing?"

Megatronus' expression darkens, "Smoothest of words, old one. Almost worthy of Maximo's level of skill. I took thy burden and the burden of all when I charged into the field of battle."

"Do not forget that." Megatronus snaps, jabbing a finger against Prima's chest with each word.

Megatronus turns, "Thou owe me. So doth you Vector, and thou as well Trion. Write it down like a good scribe. Thy lord and master has spoken his sermon after all and he wouldn't want thou to be standing there with jaw loose of its hinges for the rest of your life, would he?"

Not caring about the expressions his words have effected the other primes, Megatronus turns and stomps out, still angry.

"Thy actions this cycle illustrates every point so beautifully." Prima murmurs when the Dark Warrior passes him.

Megatronus pauses and gets at Prima's face again, this time so close that the twins can touch. The darker twin speaks, "Yes, and you are such an example to everyone, which pray tell, does what exactly?"

It is Prima's turn to narrows his optics as Megatronus continues, not carry about himself using such 'uncivilized' words as Prima told him before when they all first met, "I build, I fight, Vector does research of the stars and planets above while Alpha Trion writes stuff down, as if anyone's going to read such drivel should you allow them. Dear Solus builds and creates. Micronus works enhances. Quintus dreams and ponders. Nexus does his own things, while Amalgamous pulls his tricks and changes shape. Alchemist mixes his drinks and experiments with elements. Onyx searches and explores. Maximo speaks things that you can't hope to understand, Even 13 unifies us better than you ever did. But, what is it that you do that's ever been any use except flaunting you closest relationship to Lord Primus and your 'divine right to lead'? What?"

The room has been left speechless after that. Prima was silent, furious, by how he was gripping the handle of the Star Saber so tightly, but silent. Megatronus huffs and leaves, kicking the remains of the doors as he does. His vision clearing as Megatronus looking at his reflection and smirks, feeling satisfied by this action./

"I have spent time longer than most to try and have Prima accept me as brother and twin, except no matter what I do he just refuses to do so. Even when I took that blast for him during the battle against Unicron. So, I just became honest about how my feelings and decided not to care about pleasing that self-glorified blow-hart anymore, no longer chaining myself to his need to stroke his ego." Megatronus stated after that memory ended.

This memory appears to be a meeting between the thirteen. The scene displayed what appears to a talk about some sort of mechanical beasts farm that Liege Maximo, Quintus Prime, and Megatronus, had made. Prima wanted it shut down because he felt it was wrong, but seeing Megarronus' expression did not seem to ease the tension between the two. Megatronus held a red stone in his hand as did Maximo did to vote against the farm of their mechanical beasts to not be shut down.

(3)/ "This farm serves no purpose, shut it down." Prima demanded.

Megatronus crosses his arms, "The farm isn't your business to concern about."

"Everything that is made on our holy soil is my business. I see no point to this monster pit to make such a plague of Monstrocities. End it. Or I will." Prima threatened, holding the Star Saber in hand to empathize.

Megatronus noticing Alpha Trion whispering something to Prima, who had a grey stone hand, saying, "Let us see who our enemies are."

Megatronus glares at Prima's words, as he feels Maximo do the same. Megatronus steals a brief glance at Solus, hoping that she votes against the close of the farm, especially after how she has a pet which was created in said farm and given to her as a present. Megatronus had remembered to be angry when Maximo did this, but his words worth brother assured him then that it was not a means to woo Solus from him. Megatronus apologies for Maximo after seeing how much Solus enjoys the little creature.

The two of them then threw their rocks within the center to show how they vote against the closing of the farm.

"Come." Alpha Trion speaks up, "This is all so petty. Surely a few experiments in the long run are nothing to concern ourselves with. All of us cannot have such a singular view on things…"

"Tis not so much the nature of these experiments." Prima cuts Trion off, "Tis the principle of the secrecy that I shall not abide, and neither should thou, for nothing good comes from secrets between the just and noble."

Quintus looks hopeful, and asks, disbelieving, "Then thou wouldst permit another in its place?"

"Cast thy votes." Prima demanded, "Civilization requires Order."

"Yes, his order…" Megatronus mutters under his breath. He watches as the other Primes cast their votes. Unsurprisingly, Prima, Vector, Alpha Trion, Alchemist, and Nexus vote for closing of the farm. Megatronus sees, and is grateful, that 13 voted against the closing, as did Quintus and Amalgamous. Megatronus is shock to see Micronus, his friend, voting for the closing. Megatronus turns his head to his beloved, seeing her vote the last to be cast; she is the tie breaker. Solus looks as though something's bothering her as her hands shake. Never has he known her to be bothered so much for her hands to shake like that.

"Time rust you." Solus spat in Prima's direction, casting her vote in favor of shutting down the farm. Solus with a pained expression drops, not a red stone, as Megatronus hopes, but a grey one to make it that the 'for closing' side wins the vote.

This action shocks and makes Megatronus feel cold in his spark chamber… Before it becomes an unbridled rage that made his hands clench so tightly he bleeds their lifeblood Energon. Even as Solus turns and leaves a red vote stone dropping from her other hand as she covers her face in shame./

The image apparently froze there as that seemed to be what Megatronus could consciously remember and everything that happened after the vote.

(4)/The scene shifts to Megatronus, breathing heavily, marching his way to a place that Shockwave has only seen artist depictions of from the colonists of the colony planet Caminus, the Lithe of Creation. Solus' personal forge on Cybertron.

Megatronus slams the doors opens as he sees Solus standing there, shock on her face at the abrupt visit.

Solus looked, "My love?"

"You think I'm a fool?! You think I am blind to these betrayals?!"

"What are speaking of?"

"YOU sided with Prima against us, against me!" Megatronus shouted, the pain and hurt of this betrayal in his voice and actions.

"Megatronus, please calm down. Let me explain." Solus pleads, fear and hurt on her face and in actions. No longer pretending to go along with the 'civilized speech' that Prima stated.

"NO MORE LIES!" Megatronus shouts in her face, "TELL ME THE TRUTH! WHY DID YOU BETRAY ME!?"

"Because you're becoming Maximo's Tool!" Solus shouts back, her temper getting the better of her.

Megatronus' anger is instantly snuffed and asked, "Wh-what?"

"Because Maximo has been turning you into his personal enforcer should things not go his way…" Solus repeats sadly.

Megatronus remains silent, "So… you really did think I'm his tool…"

If Solus expression changed, Megatronus didn't care, nor will he look at her as he turns his head skyward.

Megatronus lets out a sadden laugh, hollow of any joy or amusement, "And I thought you were proud of me for holding myself back… for not being what Prima accuses me of daily…"

Megatronus turns, feeling someone touch him, "Megatronus, please…"

"Doesn't matter now… Do you have the armor that Maximo wanted?" Megatronus asks, interrupting her as he turns to face the Smithmaster of the Primes.

At the moment he asks that question, Megatronus sees her expression becoming one of uncertainty, "I don't think it's a good idea to hand the armor to him… I'm concerned he's up to something more than training with the larger beasts that Quintus made."

Hearing her excuse makes Megatronus look over her to the anvil to see a chest plate like object laying on it and recognizes it as the compact form of the armor.

"And yet I see it there." Megatronus stats, feeling another stab of pain from her lies to him. Just as Megatronus reaches for the plate, Solus got before him and pleads, "Leave it, I changed my mind."

"Solus, the largest of the beasts are becoming too wild without a means to force them." Megatronus tries to explain, "We need this armor to have better control over them."

Solus pauses before Megatronus was hurt as he remembers how she voted with Prima to shut down the farm… and growls, "You… you were in with Prima the whole time?"

Solus turns confused while hearing Megatronus' words makes her more fearful, "You've been in this with Nexus the whole time, making me the Unicron to Prima's Primus… to play the part of the villain or berserker to serve a master I don't recognize?!"

"No, Primus, no. That's not it…" Solus speaks up seeing the anger in Megatronus' eyes. Megatronus' vision turns red as he says, "I'll take the armor."

Solus however stands her ground and states, "Maybe it's time you for you to return the Blaster too. There's no need for such a dangerous weapon anymore. It was only made for war."

That made Megatronus freeze up and grit his dentures angrily./

"At that point I thought that she never truly loved me…" Megatronus confessed, a tear running down from his eye, "After the war against Unicron she had been spending time with Nexus, a little more than she did with me… and that made me… jealous… and fearful that the only being whom I ever loved was leaving me for someone else."

This was too much for Shockwave's logical mind to take… The moment that Shockwave saw the plate, the scientist recognized it instantly as the Apex Armor… He had thought that it was a weapon made by Decepticon Scientists… not something from the Primes themselves.

This next bit of The legendary scene of Megatronus murdering Solus as written was about to happen… as Shockwave's optic was glued to the screen instead of his comrade when as Megatron said, "I wanted the armor to prove her wrong… That I'm no one's fool and certainly not Maximo's tool."

(5)/"You want me to give you the Requiem Blaster? The weapon you made for me? The only thing that can rival Prima's Saber in terms of power alone?" Megatronus asks, hurt in his voice as he glares at her, "So that I can go back being the one that no one not even those close to me fear and want to use me?! The next Unicron?"

Solus goes and smacks him in the face and asked, "Do you hear yourself!? Why would I want something that'd obviously hurt you?! I just don't want you and to become what Prima's been trying to convince you all what I know you're not."

"Then what am I?" Megatronus asks, anger still filling his eyes.

"Someone I would gladly return to the Allspark with, for all eternity." Solus answers, her expression of warmth replaces her previous one of aggression. Megatronus remains silent before heading to the anvil and reaches for the compact armor.

Just as he is about to touches it, he feels Solus' hand on his own, pleading, "Megatronus Please… Leave it."

He ignores her pleads as his hand touches the plate. The moment he does he feels himself being grabbed, and pulling him to a decking, that apparently is emitting magnetic fields seeing how his arm is being pulled to it the closer he gets.

Megatronus pushes Solus off him. She slides backwards and hits one of her tool benches. Megatronus gets up and finally grabs hold of the plate, pressing the button as the armor expands and covers his frame. Just as he sees how the armor works… he sees this little beast, one of the smaller creatures made by the farm that was gifted to Solus by Maximo, which she kept as pet making sounds as it lands on his protective visor.

Megatronus' vision becomes red again, memories flashing of how Solus loved this thing… Maximo's secret spy…grabbing it in his armored hand Megatronus glares at the creature…

The next thing that happens is a sickening crunching sound…

"MEGATRONUS! HOW COULD YOU!" Solus screeched at him. Megatronus looks from his crushed victim to see her anger in place of her concerns, "YOU KILLED AN INNOCENT CREATURE!"

Grabbing her hammer, The Forge from the bench, she slams Megatronus across the face before she grabs and literally tosses him away from the Anvil. As Megatronus was getting his vision stable, he sees Solus approaching with a look that rang true the human phrase "hell hath no fury". All means of talk gone between them, Megatronus roars charging forward, anger building./

As the image become distorted to Shockwave to see clearer.

/Solus swings her hammer again, He blocks. Pulling her close he uses the armor to headbutt her face before swinging his arms, the blow sends her back against the far wall, close to the burning fires. Solus gets up and moves forward staying low to move up to him quickly.

Megatronus tries to stomp her; she evades and then hits his mid-section with the butt of her hammer. As he bends forward she forces him into the ground before hitting his side with the forge, sending him into a wall. The angrier the Dark Warrior gets, the worse the image became as he grabs another tool bench and flings it at her. She smacks it away unaware of Megatronus getting in close and grabbing her by her neck. Megatronus breathes heavily, trying to keep calm now that he has immobilized her, to tell her, "Solus… You don't understand… that thing… your pet… it wasn't-"

She interrupts him by pressing the switch that made the armor compact itself again into the plate which drops to the floor, With the armor gone, Megatronus feels the full force of the hammer as he lands back where he was. Where it starts. Megatronus looks up, his anger returning, making the image become even worse. The last clear image was of Solus Prime leaping forward, the Forge over her head, both arms grasping it as she gives a battle cry, ready to end this once and for all./

The image became too distorted to show what happens next, only a sound… the sound of a blaster firing…

Megatronus let out a cry, his eyes becoming focused, "NO, NO MORE! I rather die than remember what's next! What's been haunting me every time I close my optics…"

Shockwave remained silent, seeing the instruments showing his 'patient's' vitals going through the roof as if The Fallen is trying to stop the procedure by force of will alone. Shockwave calmly typed at his keyboard as the machine came and administered a sedative at a heavy dose to calm Megatronus down… though he kept still, he pleaded, actually pleaded, "No… please… Not again…"

(6)/Color and sense return to Megatronus after he fired his weapon, He sees something that makes his spark feel cold and lifeless… Solus Prime, being forced backwards, her hammer slipping from her grasp, with a giant gaping hole in her chassis, just below her spark chamber.

"S-Solus… I… I…" Megatronus tries to state, his vision blurring as his eyes begins to lubricate. There is terror in his voice when he speaks to his dying love. He throws his arm, the Requiem Blaster detaching from said arm and colliding with the floor, as he rushes to her, "SOLUS!"

Solus gently places a hand on his cheek and comforts, stating, between despair, "It's all right Megatronus… I know within my spark you did not… mean it…"

Megatronus then grasps her hand, "I'm sorry… I'm so sorry… Lord Primus strike me down for committing such an atrocity against you my beloved!"

"No… I'm so sorry Megatronus…" Her soft, weakening, voice says. Megatronus sees Solus still remaining strong as she professes, "I love you, Megatronus. I loved you when we first met and I love you now… Please do not forget this, my love, it's important that you-."

Her words stung his spark greatly. Hearing that she still loves him, even now, is more proof that he never deserved her, not after what he did to her now. Her remains grow cold as the Lithe of Creation continues to melt and burn around them.

Megatronus cries out desperately for losing her, but his own powers are against him. He watches as the remains of his beloved sink further and further away until it leads to the core of Cybertron, Primus himself, and its light shines for all to be seen.

Seeing his efforts are in vain, Megatronus lets out a scream of heartache clutching his fist tightly as it was the hand his beloved last touched before her death. He sees the Energon leaking from his clutched hand. Megatronus begins to feel his despair and sorrow become hatred as he knows the one who set him on this path that led to the death of his beloved Solus and hissed, "Maximo…"

Flames erupts from the air around him as he turns in a direction and then flies off in a rage, looking like a ball of fire that roars throughout the sky./

Shockwave was certainly unable to hide his shock at this account, no one could lie from their memories, not even a Prime and this was proof that Megatronus, though he did kill Solus, was not the mastermind behind the death of Solus Prime but a puppet of Liege Maximo, the 'victim' who was a better manipulator than Starscream ever could be, as was told when he learned of the legend of the Primes.

/"YOU WON'T ESCAPE… MY WRATH!" Megatronus roared as he flies off. Seeing nothing but the enemy he wishes to destroy over any other, more so than Unicron who wanted to destroy his creator and all life in the universe. More so than Prima and his delusions.

He is, however, stopped when an archway made out of energy collids into him, knocking him off course. He stabilizes himself in midair before seeing who is the one attacking him.

Looking he sees the one bot in all of existence who would dare do that to him… His twin, Prima, with the Star Saber in hand. Glaring down at his lighter twin, Megatronus speaks, "I have no business with you Prima, let me pass."

"Nay, thy evil have been revealed to all, Megatronus." Prima declared, in the ancient Cybertronian dialect, pointing the Star Saber at him, "The murder of fair Solus, our Sister, shows the truth of my words against you. Spawn of Unicron."

Megatronus can't help having shaking his head, "As usual your need to be right all the time clouds your judgement… now move… I have justice to enact."

"Villainy more like!"

"You'll pay for Solus Prime's murder!"

Megatronus sees Nexus Prime there, his optics burning with the same desire of vengeance as he does, "You're falsely accusing me as well? What would I expect from the one who would try to take her away…"

"No more lies, Megatronus!" To his shock a friend of his and Solus, Micronus stands on the shoulder of Onyx Prime, "Your anger is a threat to us all. And this act of murder is the spark that brings it all to light!"

"Nay, Micronus." Onyx dissuades as he turned to the Dark Warrior, on guard, but still speaks, "What sayeth thee Megatronus? Speak friend. Retell the accounts from thy perspective."

"You still call me a friend? Even with accusations of many, Onyx?" Megatornus asked looking at Onyx in surprise, even though the centaurian-legs of Onyx shift a bit with his wings furling, "Forsooth! For I know the mech thou art."

"Megatronus is a Convict who has deceived us all with his evil! First Decepticon! Second coming of Unicron! I name thee Megatronus, The Fallen!" Prima shouts as he was about to attack with Vector Prime at his side as did others who feel as though Megatronus is going to destroy them all. Megatronus quickly, and masterfully catches their blades with both hands, not caring about the pain he felt, and deflects them away from him. He kicks Vector away before aiming his gun at Prima. The air is tense as the two twins glare hatefully at each other.

"Hold, Brothers."

Everyone turns their heads to see the 13th member of their brotherhood there, "We must allow Megatronus to speak on his defense."

"Thou art a fool 13! Thyself heard the destruction of Solus' Lithe of Creation from Nexus' very words." Prima shot. His anger becomes more visible, "My warnings have gone unheeded and now we lost our dear sister to this agent of Chaos."

"Brother Prima, remember, Megatronus' form and purpose is to be a counterbalance and equal to thy own nature, as Lord Primus intends to help bring balance amongst us as we prepared to face Unicron himself. We must give Megatronus a chance." 13 says in Megatronus' defense, though Prima was livid at this reminder. Before he can say something in regards to that.

"Aye, 13 speaks true." The stout mech with lenses state, trying to cut through the grief that has penetrated all who were there, "We can't go off on suspicion alone brother."

"NO! HE MUST PAY FOR WHAT HE'S DONE!" Micronus shouts angrily, "SOLUS WAS THE BEST OF US AND MEGATRONUS MURDERED HER!"

"Micronus is right we need to stop him now! Before he slays us all for power!" Prima exclaims wanting the battle to start. He tightens his hands around the handle of the Star Saber. Nexus has his own swords ready to fight, as does Amalgamous, though hesitant, with his scythe, Vector Prime with both his swords. Even Alpha Trion has a weapon on the defense.

Megatronus' face hardens in anger at this apparent betrayal, especially by those who seem to call him friend, like Micronus… He knows how much Prima hates him because of how much darker he is compared to the First Prime but never thought his negative emotions would push him this far. "You judge too quickly, especially as I am as much of a victim as my beloved."

"Lies! Coward's means of saving thyself!" Nexus accuses. His swords gleams.

Alpha Trion, hearing Megatron's words, asks, "What do thou mean?"

"Alpha Trion, do not be deceived!" Prima snaps his anger and hatred from his dark twin.

Megatronus then explains everything that led to the death of his beloved Solus Prime, how while he was searching for an electro-prod to keep the beasts under control, he opened a tool hatch and found a radio receiver and heard how Solus said aloud to Nexus about Megatronus becoming Maximo's fool and his tool. As well as her purposely delaying in telling Maximo that she had finished a set of armor impervious to any force. Megatonrus tells them everything that happened. Every detail, no matter how insignificant.

"Before I could tell her why, she deactivated the armor and was about to deal what I thought was the finishing blow… I fired the Requiem Blaster before I knew what I was doing… I always was the fastest draw…" Megatronus recounts empty, sounding like he lost all the will to live at this point.

He then asks, "You know what the last thing she said to me was? She… She said… I…"

Megatronus stops talking as he pulls out the head of Solus' pet from his belt container and presses soemthing that causes its optics to flare and make a holographic image. It was weak, off-centered and not clear. Showing them all the final moments of their sister Prime, the forgemaster… professing her love for all those of the Primes assembled.

"Thou art saying this is simply a mistake?" Prima asks, arms crossed over his chest distrust etched in both tone and actions.

From what Megatronus sees both 13 and Nexus are shocked by Prima's choice of words from this revelation. Megatronus sees the First combiner coming over with shackles and states, "We're not here for Energon… we're here to bring you in for justice."

"Oh? And what army do you command Nexus? And I don't mean your body parts." Megatronus snarls at the Combiner, the arm that his cannon's attached to aimed at the Combiner. 13 comes between them and speaks, projecting a calmness that was familiar to Shockwave, "Tempers are short, everyone is hurting… there's no need for this, it's an accident."

"NO!" Micronus shrieks furiously. "HOW CAN YOU CALL THIS AN ACCIDENT!? WE ONLY HAVE HIS WORD AND WHATEVER HE HAS THERE!"

"Micronus…" 13 tries to calm but Micronus won't have any of it, smacking his 13th sibling away, still shouting with tears of anguish in his eyes, "HE CAN'T GET AWAY WITH THIS! HE'S NEVER BEEN NOTHING BUT A REAL BEAST WITH THAT TEMPER OF HIS!"

"Megatronus?" 13 turns to the Dark Twin of Prima.

"I won't deny anything… I am a risk to all… and Solus paid the price for it…" Megatronus states, before glaring at Prima, "Which is more than I can say about you. You Dry, sparkless, slagheap. You never cared about Solus, you're only here to either 'finally execute the evil' you see me as, or follow your true concerns, a principle. Nothing living. You're pathetic Prima."

Prima's face contorts with rage at this, before 13 goes and offers his brother a hand, "Come back with us, We'll deal with all this together."

Megatronus still glares at his elder twin, before 13 says something that stops his anger, "For Solus."

Looking down to the ground a bit, Megatronus thinks back to Solus' face before nodding, coming out of the memory and agrees, "For Solus."/

Megatronus sighed, "When we returned, that's when we discovered the truth… Liege Maximo… my best friend… he was setting me up to take the fall when he showed the others a target range that I'd never seen before. Maximo then made everyone turn against me. Just then Maximo revealed his true character, having the beasts of the pit attack us all. The combat and commotion broke the floor and we all fell. I distinctly remember Amalgamous grabbing Liege Maximo to prevent his escape. I don't understand what happened… It was like something inside took over all of us to act without thinking, no thoughts or memories at all within our sparks; the only thing that was important was committing acts of violence against every single one of us…By the time we came out of it, the war of the Primes had ended with Maximo in pieces, torn apart and his head blown off."

Shockwave saw the static image of the aftermath of the War of the Primes happened as the Fallen had said. Onyx feeling very weak while Liege Maximo was indeed dead by the missing of his head and the rest of his body torn apart.

"The only plus side of it was seeing Alpha Trion hit Prima over the head with a metal bar." Megatronus cracked, with a smile on his face. Before it became somber, "The Requiem Blaster, the weapon that Solus Prime had crafted for me, was taken by Prima. My good friend Onyx was the most fatally wounded of us all… having taken the brunt of the beasts' assault over all of us. Quintus and Alchemist had needed assistance moving back to the citadel. We didn't look or even speak to each other for a long time… Not after what happened between all of us. After megacycles, we talked about what to do next and decided to give Solus a funeral that she deserved…"

Shockwave saw a very beautifully and high-quality built tomb he ever saw, as the scene shifted to show it being sent off into space, towards the midst of the Constellation by Vector Prime.

"And so, we all, Prima included, built a tomb in Solus' memory, taking Trion's suggestion of where to put it. Solus' favorite constellation. I sat alone, the quietest I've been through the entire celebration of the life lost. I felt like I was just suffering sending it off to that part of space so it would be untouched for as long as needed. Prima then suggested we do something similar to Liege Maximo… I refused to attend, especially after how his machinations lead to the death of Solus… I stayed with Onyx trying my best to help one of my only friends left in existence… However, he was very close to death." Megatronus said, sadly as the images showed how Megatronus had done what he could for Onyx Prime.

"The Next day… I came to a decision…" Megatronus stated as the screen showed Megatronus' Point of View again while he turned to the remaining Primes.

(7)/Megatronus gets up after the funeral proceedings ended and says to his assembled, and remaining brothers, "I'm leaving."

Megatronus looks at the armor that Solus had made, "Like what Solus had said in the past, there are probably other worlds out in the cosmos, and other sorts of people as well. Where there are people there are problems. Problems I might be able to solve. I have the strength, the power, and the will to do what needs to be done."

"Megatronus." 13 tries to speak, but Megatronus holds a hand, "No… I am The Fallen now. Killer of my love, slaughterer of my kin, a foolish brute. Except… Solus Prime saw something in me, and I am going to find a way to live up to what she saw… what attracted her to me and what made her love something like me… So, until I find out what it is, I will not return. Make something worthy of her- for her. Because she was the best of us and deserves no less."

Megatronus then gathers all the weapons he can carry. After leaving his chambers he approached Vector Prime, "I know we have never been close, Vector Prime, but I'd be grateful if you could make one of your Space bridges for me, any location far from Lord Primus' soil.

"That won't be necessary, …Brother." Prima speaks up, as he stands before his twin, hesitation for calling Megatronus 'brother'. His words physically surprise Megatronus enough to take a step back as Prima continues, "We've been working on a space worthy ship that should serve your needs. And it has the capability of opening a Space Bridge portal to any destination away from here."

He then places a hand on Megatronus' shoulder and says, "Take it as a sign that the strife between us is gone. For Solus."

Megatronus looks down a bit, silent before looking up and nods, "For Solus."/

"However, that turned out to be a lie…" Megatronus growled, anger returned to his face, eyes glowing red when the screen showed Shockwave what happened after the Fallen entered the ship's bridge.

/Megatronus steps into the ship that was made for him as he goes on his self-imposed exile. Never to return again… He initiates the ship's engines and has it fly from Cybertron's surface. Just as he began the new portal technology that was made, alarms flash and sees a message stating that there's a malfunction in the portal generation.

"Computer Identify the problem." Megatronus orders and he tries to regain control of the ship.

"Space Bridge field malfunction, destination changed to specified pocket dimension." The ship's computer reports while Megatronus shouts, "Override, Shut down now!"

"Negative." The computer answers, "Cannot divert with primary programming."

Megatronus stares in shock at this news before he realizes that he has been deceived yet again! It was Prima who oversaw the construction of this ship… it was his twin who gave him this ship when Megatronus revealed his plans to exile himself… it was Prima who insisted on using the new teleport system once he was out of sight of Cybertron.

Megatronus roars out one word when the portal engulfs his ship, the one he knew to be responsible, "PRIMA!"/

"As soon as my ship entered the portal I lost consciousness and found myself in a… you can call it a pocket-dimension like void that kept me back for all those Supereons…" Megatronus stated.

"He betrayed me… After all his talk of being fair and just, he still betrayed me, seeing me as the 'Spawn of Unicron' that he deluded himself to be…" Megatronus growled angrily, "As you will see, my response once entering my prison wasn't favorable…"

Shockwave saw on the screen how Megatronus had come too and saw the remains of his ship floating in the void prison.

/Megatronus roars as he tries with all his powers to get out of this pocket dimension after the ship self-destructs…

Megatronus roars, and keeps lashing out at the empty space surrounding him.

He then becomes tired and lays down in the void thinking back at how much his life has been a curse… especially Solus…

"Solus…" Megatronus speaks with grief clutching his fists tightly, "Forgive me Solus… Forgive me for my crimes against you…"

-~
Time passes as Megatronus has been mourning Solus for an unknown amount of time… "I'm Sorry Solus… I'm so… So Sorry…"

-~
Time passes again, showing Megatronus shouting into the void, "CURSE PRIMA TO THE LOWEST REGIONS OF THE PIT! CURSE ALL OF THE SURVIVNG PRIMES FOR THIS BETRAYAL! AND THEIR DESCENDANTS~!"

At this point, after figuring out how, Megatronus has opened a tear in his prison to see what has become of Cybertron since he left… and to his horror finds that the true story of the Primes had been replaced to make Prima and the others look more heroic… While it's true that the murder of Solus Prime, and the revenge against Liege Maximo did happen, there was no mention of the love between himself and Solus, and that HE was the mastermind behind all of the deaths that happened to the Primes NOT Maximo. Maximo was portrayed as the 'unwilling pawn' during the "War of the Primes" who died merely after how Megatronus used him instead of being the true Mastermind…

Since then, Megatronus has sworn vengeance against ALL of the newer generations of Cybertornians, as they call themselves now, for believing Prima's lies!

With a enraged roar, Megatronus grabs two of his weapons and unleashes a rapid fire assault into the void, only… they don't hit anything in this prison void and his guns run out of ammo.

-~
Megatronus then shows himself trying to use all of his power to break through the dimensional walls, not caring about the damage he sufferes from his attempts. Megatronus, not caring about his injuries shouts in frustration in not freeing himself from this prison, "YOU WON'T KEEP ME HERE FOREVER PRIMA!"

-~
The scene the changed to showing Megatronus wailing as he clutches his helm, "Solus…"

"Megatronus…"

He looks up seeing a phantom of Solus in his mind glaring at him.

"You killed me…" He hears the phantom of his beloved accuse pointing at him.

"NO… NO I didn't mean to…" Megatronus says looking at the phantom of Solus Prime before him…

"You planned this from the start! YOU KILLED ME FOR POWER!" the Phantom accuses.

"No… I didn't mean to… I was tricked… we were all deceived by Maximo…"

"YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE WHO DECIEVED ANYONE!" The phantom shrieks lunging at him.

Megatronus wakes up in a cold… sweat(?;) this nightmare is exceptionally intense compared to the others since he arrived in this void…

-~
The scene changes to show Megatronus getting what technology that survived the explosion of his ship as he states in a madness born from his self-loathing, anger, and guilt, "I'll make them all pay, any disciples of Prima and the Primes… Every last one of them from Unicron himself to even Primus for abandoning me in this void… For letting Solus die…"

Megatronus puts the last touches on his device as he says, "With this… I'll destroy everything… for this exile… for this humiliation…"

He then opens a tear as he tries to get it working only for the device to explode in his face. Ignoring the pain to his hand, Megatronus tosses the device away against other remnants of the ship before lashing out again… he then heard another voice.

"Megatronus…"

The said Fallen turns to see a shadow there, not his but in a shape that was larger than even Nexus, but definitely smaller than Unicron… though he detects the similar presence of Unicron within this visitor, similar in strength to his own… especially familiar about the wings on his back.

"I will give you more power when you face the opposition your brothers are indeed planning against your return… but you will aid me in freeing my master from his imprisonment…"

"If it means I get my revenge then so be it!" Megatronus agrees in a spark-beat, not caring about the price as long as he has revenge.

"Very well…" The image of Thunderwing then darkens leaving his optics to shine before shooting out enveloping The Fallen in Dark Energon before coming out. (AN: Think of his appearance changing from how he was seen in Covenant of Primus's depiction to RID2015's depiction)

Megatronus examines himself and his new form, caring only for the power. He even transforms and gets used to how it felt as a Cybertornian tank.

Laughing insanely as he does, Megatronus smirks evilly, "I have more power than I did before I was exiled here…"

"DO NOT FAIL." Thunderwing warns before disappearing.

His smirk fades as he looks at the metal idol, that he crudely made, of Solus and states, "My love… I'm sorry… I'm so sorry for taking all this time to avenge you… but now with everything I have I can finally get our revenge…"

"If Prima fooled the newer generations about me being a villain… then a Villain I shall be…" Megatronus swears as his helm closes over his face as he sees into the universe that he has been banished from and finds a Cybertronian ship, one that has many who taken the name of Decepticon. Whether it was war crimes or newer crimes, it didn't matter, they would be easy to sway, "Yes… this will do nicely…"

Holding out his hand reaching out and clenching his fist, as the ship breaks off and falls into orbit of the planet he previously senses Unicron's Anti-Spark from within./

After watching the Fallen's descent into madness, Shockwave deduced how Megatronus' banishment had caused him to develop a sense of self-loathing of the worst kind as well as a hatred for everyone who he felt responsible for this, being in the isolation also made him hallucinate how even Solus had blamed him for her destruction. Even now as he sees what happens next. (AN: At this point the events will play out like the RID Season 1 did when Megatronus got involved to the point of his defeat)

(8)/Megatronus finds a worthy pawn in all the Decepticons, using the moniker that Prima called him as a means to get support, the newer generation Decepticon Steeljaw, and the members of his future pack. Megatronus makes contact with him and promises the world will be his after he is free. Leaving some key information out. All up to the point where Megatronus, after finally getting freed by Steeljaw and his pack, stands before them in the world made by Unicron, and the Prime that dares to stand in his way. After the explosion by said prime, Megatronus smirks behind his helmet, the enhancements he received from that creature has made his armor strong enough to get through before the explosion.

Megatronus sees the red and blue new prime looking in fear in a voice that sounds familiar to someone he knew from ancient days, "It cannot be…"

"But it is." Revealing his face, Megatronus exclaims in a maddened glee, roaring to the heavens above, "At long last! MEGATRONUS STANDS TRIUMPANT!"/

Megatronus' face became one of dissatisfaction, "After that upstart attempted to trap me in my prison, I went and punished him for his misguided attempts, as well as shaming the name of my brother. Before going to get the Spark Fuser that I initially created myself to destroy both Cybertron and Earth, not just severing my ties with Unicron's creation by destroying his master, but also getting revenge on all Cybertronians on both planets after Cybertron's restoration. For Primus to allow her death to happen even when I was willing to trade my life for hers!"

Megatronus' anger subsided and he continued, the screen showing what he remembers, "I then began to execute him, only for a descendant of Onyx to stop me, I had to get him off and throw him to his comrade when two descendants of Micronus came from the swordsbot to stop me. Much like their progenitor, they had a fire, but deluded themselves. Until I was attacked by the new Prime. After knocking him down I proceeded to the Spark Fuser to complete my objective, only for the descendant of Solus to get in the way…She dared stand in the way of avenging myself AND her progenitor!?"

"The descendant that you call her is a citizen from the colony world of Caminus. They are fully religious to the tales of the Primes, more than most Cybertronians of any colony planet." Shockwave informed him, making the Fallen growl at this reveal.

'If I knew she's a devotee of those lies I would have free her from them and end her myself instead of knocking her out!" Megatronus roared angrily, getting even more heated up by this.

"There is no logic in getting angry now, proceed in telling your story." Shockwave advised, knowing that there's no anger for the past.

Megatronus breathed heavily and continued, "After knocking the devotee of lies out, I continued to the staff only for more of the Prime's minions to get in the way where I took the chance to test out my new transforming capabilities on them by firing my main gun and missiles."

Shockwave saw how the tank that was Megatronus fired on the Autobots, missed them but did damage to the statue before firing missiles at them.

"Seeing that they were out of my sight, I again refocused on my instrument of destruction, the Spark Fuser. Leaving them to those who took the name of what Prima called me supereons ago…" Megatronus narrated, hearing the sounds of the bots being forced down by the Decepticon criminals.

(9)/"Consider those Autobots parked." The antler-headed one jokes, making two of the others laughing.

"Well done." Megatronus praises them, retrieving his staff. While he admires the weapon he has, he hears the canine-based Decepticon speak, "Along with building the machines that brought you here it was the least we can do."

Megatronus hears them approaching as the said leader of the pack speaks again, "Now, can we discuss when I can take possession of this world – As you promised?"

Turning to them Megatronus admits, "You earned your reward, Steeljaw, though I can't imagine why you want a pile of dust."

The smile on Steeljaw's face quickly changes into a frown, "'Dust'?"

"This staff will first extract what remains of the Anti-Spark of Unicron lying dormant in the Earth's core." Megatronus explains before holding his staff high for all to see, "Then I will summon the Allspark here from Cybertron and bring the two together!"

Ignoring the lightning, Megatronus sees the shocked and fearful expressions upon the Decepticons' faces, while Steeljaw deduces, "But combining the sparks will blow both planets to-"

Stabbing the staff to the ground, Megatronus watches as the violet colors of Unicron's Anti-Spark shines from the soil below, feeling its energy as he remembered from eons long past… filling the end with the same violet light and color. Smirking, Megatronus then raises his staff upwards to them, grinning savagely, "Precisely."

Standing up Megatronus watches as the other end of the Fuser spark with energy to call the Anti-Spark's opposite, the AllSpark from Cybertron, bending Space and Time to do so in the present day despite lightyears that separate them. As Megatronus waits, he hears the followers accuse, "YOU LIED TO US! TO ME!"

Megatronus, unafraid stops the charging leader in his tracks with a flick of a hand, lifting him in the air, even as the criminal struggles, "I spoke only truth. You heard what you wanted to hear."

Turning around, making Steeljaw follow in the air, against the foundation of the Statue, Megatronus watches as Steeljaw got up and orders, "Don't. Just. Stand there!"

Looking to the minions of this Decepticon, Megatronus intimidates them with his mask closing over his face, which works and sends the cons running like cowards. Megatronus smirks, only to hear a roar and saw Steeljaw attacking, Picking up his glaive, Megatronus enraged the wolf-based con into a fight. /

"If I wasn't so focused on getting the Allspark to earth, I would have used all of my power to crush him." Megatronus stated, annoyed.

(10)/"All I wanted…" Steeljaw growled swiping his claws, which were easily blocked, "Is a place for Decepticons to call home!"

Swiping some more the criminal roared, "A place I could rule!"

That set's Megatronus off under his mask as he sarcastically says, "I'm very sorry for your loss."

Before raising Steeljaw up in the air and telekinetically throwing him out of sight roaring as he soars.

"Another loss is at hand, Megatronus!" The voice makes him turn to see the Prime with the yellow armored minion from earlier rushing at him, "Yours!"

Raising an arm, Megatronus fires one of his arm-mounted guns at the duo. The yellow bot gets blasted away as Megatronus focuses on the Prime before him, "Surrender 'Optimus Prime' you will not impede me before the Allspark reaches your precious Earth."

He can hear the pretender to the name of Primes growling as he struggles against the force of his cannon fire. He then hears a beam of energy shooting at him as he was shot back some feet. Megatronus actually felt that… and glares angrily at the three minions of the prime, which are not wearing armor over their bodies. He rushes forward and fights Optimus. They circled as their weapons clash where Megatronus sees Optimus turning towards the other Autobots and they converse words. The only sound that catches The Fallen's attention was the sound of what he was hoping for, the Allspark arriving.

Raising the Spark Fuser into the air, awaiting it's arrived, Megatronus grins, his plans getting closer to being completed.

Hearing a yell, Megatronus turns, and swings his weapon, forcing Optimus back to the other Autobots.

Returning his attention to the sky, Megatronus sees the familiar light of the Allspark and breathes, "At last…"

The next thing that Megatronus hears is the Prime's indignant cry of denial before he feels something missing from the staff. The sphere that was the miniaturized Allspark shoots back through the portal to Cybertron. Horror fills Megatronus as he turns to see the remnants of the Anti-Spark separating from the end of his staff that Optimus has previously cut off, flying back into the hole in the ground that he himself made.

Seeing his goal become undone Megatronus despairingly breathes, "No…"

Looking at his staff, Megatronus shakes with a familiar rage, discards the staff and charges with a maddened roar at Optimus. Shooting both arm guns at the Primes who run before getting into a good position to deflect Megatronus' energy blasts away with that sword. How dare this 'Prime' in name get in the way of his revenge! How dare he!

Just as he has the upper hand on the Autobot leader, he is punched from behind. Turning he sees the 'dinobot' punching him in the face again. Straightening himself, Megatronus smirks at the challenge; it's been too long since he and Onyx traded blows like this, before the War of the Primes and he welcomes this challenge before he resumes his revenge against the Autobot leader. Megatronus and Grimlock fight like boxers before Megatronus gets a good hit and lands the Dinobot on his back. Which reveals the other two. He fires a cannon blast, only to block by the femme's energy blast from her sword. Angrily Megatronus senses another enemy attacking, and blocks with his glaive.

From above, the red bot attempts an attack from the air, but Megatronus quickly tosses that one aside. Before a swing of his glaive made the yellow bot be forced back. The blue and white femme kicked him from behind, but he grabs he other leg and tosses her aside as well. Megatronus quickly deflects another attack from the red mech and seethes angrily at all the defiance from bots who believe the lies of Prima.

Immediately Megatronus feels pain as he was hit from behind by an energy blast of the yellow Autobot. Fighting the pain. Megatronus grabs the sword's blade and flings him only to get blasted again by another enemy./

Megatronus was seething in real life as well as in his memories, "Those fools had over powered me enough to break my glaive before knocking me off my fight where I noticed their allies taking an arm of the statue to fall on top of me."

"I waited eons in exile, burning with desire for vengeance, and I wasn't going to be denied!" Megatronus shouted, like in his memory before he continues right now, "Not by a band of devout fools of Prima's lies! NOT WHILE HE PAINTS ME IN LIEGE MAXIMO'S LIGHT!"

The image now shows how while Megatronus was holding the statue's arm, the three Autobots focused their weapons again and fired a more powerful blast of energy at Megatronus, which began to break through his armor and exposed his spark.

Megatronus breathed heavily and admitted, "I couldn't believe I had been bested by them… Even as I found myself back…"

Shockwave focuses on the screen as it showed Megatronus was seen the pocket dimension, back where he was imprisoned.

/"NO!" Megatronus shouts, then drops to his knees and cried out, "If I couldn't succeed then at least let me go to the Allspark where I can rejoin my beloved! Any place, not here!"

"Oh, but you deserve to be here." He turns to see the dark presence of Thunderwing projecting into his dimensional prison, "ESPECAIALLY SINCE YOU FAILED! AND YOU ATTEMPTED TO DESTORY MY MASTER TO FREE YOURSELF FROM OUR PACT?!"

Immediately Megatronus feels the full force of the Dark Energon in his body causing him to feel pain, pain he hasn't felt in supereons since the War against Unicron. Megatronus yelled before feeling his body get heavy and he falls.

Megatronus continues to feel this torture before it stops and asks, "Why did you stop? I thought you wanted me to pay for trying to betray you?"

"Because my master has suggested to give you a rare chance at redemption…" Thunderwing answers, surprising the Fallen, "My One and Only Master, Unicron, wishes to give you an attempt to assist in a mission to not only free him, but offers a reward."

"I don't want anything from him…"Megatronus interrupts, he may have fallen but he will not serve the same being whom he helped bring a downfall to and whose power has been overcome by that false Prime and his minions.

That makes Thunderwing upset, making Dark Energon-like lighting spark in reaction to his anger, before he continues, "My Master promises to resurrect your beloved Solus Prime to functionality."

Hearing that makes Megatronus freeze and asks, "He can do that?"

"You yourself saw how he turned piles of junk into Scrap Metal drones during the war between him and the detestable Primus. He can, and he will, bring her back easily, but only if you fulfill your part of the bargain." Thunderwing states to the Fallen Prime the terms of his servitude to Unicron./

Shockwave can see how Megatronus looked down where his feet were before the screen shifted to Solus' smiling face in a flashback… one so powerful to be seen through all his programming precautions when he made this new version of the Cordical Psychic Patch.

/Megatronus looks up and kneels down, "What shall I do then… Comrade?"

Seeing the Prime kneeling, Thunderwing states, "Nothing… now that I have ALL of the ones who will serve my master in his release from the Reliquary."

Thunderwing's eyes flash before shooting out Dark Energon Violet light. The moment they hit his body, Megatronus feels not one, but two powers at work as it was allowing him to be physically whole again, but also transporting him.

When his eyes refocus, he sees himself back into his original body frame, the extra power and weapons from before his previous attempt gone now.

He didn't need to see to sense that he's now in a new place, different from his prison, but also not completely the same as earth, given the dark sky…

Soon he hears a voice groan, "Oh no… not you two…"

Megatronus turns to see Shockwave and Starscream sitting up as the scientist states, "You are not what I was hoping to find on this mission either Starscream."

The Fallen then hears Airachnid chuckles, grinning sadistically, "My, my. I was hoping to see you again Starscream. You as well Shockwave. I am feeling quite parched."

She sprints forward on her spider form; Megatronus stops her and tosses her away, shouting, "ENOUGH!"

Megatronus sees how the three newer Cybertronians turn to see him. His optics narrow in a glare of utter hate at their initial assaults on each other.

"I care not of thy personal issues with each other. However, should thou be worthy of my quest to reunite with my beloved then I shall not end you this day." Megatronus states speaking in his former 'Prima's dialect' of Cybertronian. He has no idea why he's reverted to this… especially how he renounced speaking in the way that Prima wanted him to…

Shockwave then points out, "It would appear we are going through changes to suit our needs on this planet and mission."

He and the others look and find themselves glowing violet and red energy, shrinking and looking less mechanical. Becoming organic until they reach human height and shape. Airachnid examines herself intrigued by the change as she hears Starscream let out a cry of disgust at what he has become. Airachnid turns to see Shockwave examining himself as well, though, unlike herself, his new organic appearance seems to be having his armor covering his human body. Megatronus himself was glaring at his new form, "What devilry is this?!"

He hears Airachnid muse, "Fascinating…"

His humiliation is now greater now, being reduced to the same height as Micronus and his descendants.

"Well now… this is something unexpected."

The four Cybertronians turn to see a several figures approaching; they appear human, except for one of them that appears to have a tail that is classified as a Scorpion tail. The woman before them, the one in black, had deathly pale skin, black eyes red irises and her white hair arranged in a manner to make herself look higher class.

"Who are you and how have you come to my domain?" The woman asks, her red irises shining through the black of her sclera and pupils.

Before any of them could speak, Starscream spat, "Oh great… we're back on that organic planet Earth…"

The woman with the bone white skin raises her brow, while the man with the mustache scuffes, "Oh joy… we have more insane people with us, and I thought Tyrian was enough for Remnant…"

The unusual human in dark robes is not so convinced as the mustached human.

Tyran remaines silent not even acknowledging the insult before he asks, the gauntlets on his wrists extending blades, as does his tail, "My Queen, can I slay them for you?"

This 'queen' stared at them with her black and red eyes as she stated, "No. I wish to speak with them."

She then approaches them while Starscream raises his arms, his missiles getting ready to fire, "Don't take another step you… you… human!"

The woman stands unafraid as Starscream's weapons, or Shockwave's cannon, and Airachnid's palm blasters. Megatronus feels something, a power similar to what Alchemist once weilds and then watches to see how this plays out.

The humans, and scorpion-tailed man, readied their weapons aimed at the Decepticons, while the man with the mustache and the pistol, is amazed by the technology that these people have.

Before anyone can fire, a violet bolt of lightning hit between them revealing a titanic metallic creature that made the woman in black robes surprise. Especially the wings when the voice demands, "ENOUGH!" /

Megatronus was coming out of the trip through memory lane before he sat himself on the berth while stating, "I still do not know who that Prime is… only he felt familiar…"

"That would be Optimus Prime, the leader of the Autobots." Shockwave stated, "What you felt is most likely the energy signature of him housing the Matrix of Leadership in his chest cavity."

This perked the interest of the Prime on the berth, "Surely you jest…"

The Fallen's words confused Shockwave who stated, "I do not see the logic in joking."

Megatornus turned to the scientist and stated, "Because Optimus Prime is the name of my brother, a true friend when the other Primes turned on me… He would never fight me turn on me… not like the others did after Solus' death…"

Shockwave, for the first time in a while, was surprised to hear this. He had assumed that the 13th member the "Arisen", as the Camiens called him, had lost his name due to the story of the Primes being warped by history. If this was true then… could Optimus Prime truly be the reincarnation of the 13th Prime? It wouldn't be the first time he had been wrong given how he thought the legends of Prima, the thirteen, and Unicron were just legends… After almost dying from Unicron's attack personally and also how his creation Predaking had the ability to transform even though no historical facts existed of them being evolved enough to have a T-Cog.

Shockwave wanted to learn more, only to give himself patience as there would be more times to learn of this prime.

Megatronus then felt himself coming out of his daze as the berth turned which allowed the Fallen to get off easier. With the connection disconnected, Megatronus felt his body once more and got off, "That was… disconcerting…"

"Many who first experience it would say the same." Shockwave explained powering down and saving the information he gathered so far, before turning to The Fallen, "Before their lives were snuffed out."

"During your frivolous war?" Megatronus asked, glaring at Shockwave, and the insignia of his former faction on his armor, the Decepticons. The very thing he remembered Prima call him all those eons ago…

Megatronus placed his mask on his face and said, "It doesn't matter anymore, because now I have a true chance to redeem myself. By our Benefactor this favor, then she will return. My beloved Solus Prime."

And then left the laboratory, unaware of Hazel noticing him leave the lab or the Seer Grimm who viewed everything for its mistress.


Sitting in in her seat at the table, Salem watched the entire recollection, and commented, "Truly, the universe is full of surprises…"

Salem then looked up at the stars and stated, seeing parallels between herself and Megatron's tragic past, "Let's see if I can use all this to my advantage."


(What did you think? Do you like or do you agree with how I imagined Megatronus as the tragic villain that he was portrayed in the COP book instead of the power hungry madman that was shown in most continuties of the Transformers Franchise? Let me know in the Reviews what you thought please.

I also added some of the memory scenes of said other sources to this to help find the connecting points and also explain about them so no one thinks I'm plagiarizing anyone's hard made work... because Plagiarizing is VERY WRONG. So i'm just listing where those memories are based from and also how they're related to Megatron and also how someone in the transformers Lore might have changed it to make 'himself' or themselves look more heroic.

(1): This memory scene was based on what was written in the Covenant of Primus book when the Primes were created by Primus, and since this isn't from Alpha Trion, I thought it'd be good for it be in Megatronus' POV.
(2): This memory scene shows what happened after the Primes defeated Unicron and sent him flying into the cosmos, hopefully to never be seen again. And by taking some account from other versions show how Megatronus is not the only who was attracted to Solus. As well as have Maximo be the one to reveal Prima's list of 'next threat'. Megatronus confronts Prima about the list and they nearly came close to trading blows with each other.
(3): This memory scene is based on the vote if the Farm for the beasts should be shut down as Prima wanted. This is the most unchanged memory, only showing how things went from Megatronus' POV, especially after Solus had voted for the farm to be shut down.
(4): This memory scene is based on what I believe to be the start of the greatest tragedies in Transformers Lore, like greater than the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. Unfortunately it wasn't fully 'shown' in the Covenant of Primus Book, due to (Again) it was written from Alpha Trion's Point of View.
(5): This is a continuation from the previous one, where the tragedy truly takes place. The fight that Megatronus explained happened in the Covenant of Primus book, but in greater detail to show how good of a fighter Solus was as she was a smith before the fatal blow.
(6): This is what happened in the aftermath of the fight and death of Solus Prime, which, like the last two, is to dive deeper detail on what happened in this. I tried to make it as tragic as I could to show how Megatronus felt after killing his beloved as well as how the death of Solus affected her body and her Lithe of Creation as Megatronus swears revenge on the one who set these chain of events to happen, Liege Maximo. Only to run into interferance from the other nine Primes.
(7): This memory scene is based on Megatronus' decision to leave, from his point of view and what I thought would happen like the twins, Prima and Megatronus, finally burying the hatchet... until it turned out to be a lie and Prima said those things to make Megatronus lower his guard to banish him in that pocket dimension of a prison.

(8): This doesn't exactly follow anything from the COP book any other references, jsut what I thought was what happened to Megatronus after his banishment. how the eons of being isolated with his negative emotions for so long has caused him to go insane to be how he was in the Transformers Robots In Disguise 2015 first season. I'd say spending so long in a void after being betrayed by his best friend, made to kill his lover, the other members of his 'family' turning on him, the aparent betrayal of his twin brother as well as finding out what the modern day cybertronians thought of himself and what caused the War of the Primes, what else he had been fighting against since his creation and the nightmares his guilt took the form of - Is it any wonder why he went insane before Thunderwing came to him? I would go insane if that had happened to me.

(9): This memory scene is how I felt Megatronus was able to cause the Alchamor to crashland on earth to bgin with in Robots in Disguise 2015, to the point where he makes his physical appearance at the two parter season finale, "Battleground". All from Megatronus' POV all the way he got blasted back to his Pocket Dimension of a prison.

And Uh oh... looks like Salem peeked into this memory reviewing like how Hazel has. Maybe that's how Salem got the ideal to fan Megatronus' anger in the 28th chapter of Ryujudge's Flames of Redemption, "Thoughts and Questions". The next chapter will not be a memory review per say, but it will involve how things went for the Heralds of Chaos after they arrived and met Salem's circle of followers as I've been portraying in these chapters. since at this point is the 6 months point in the RWBY Timeline after Beacon fell and Vale was attacked. I'm working on asking Ryujudge on how long the Heralds should be on Remnant compared to Megatron and his little band of Redeemers have been.

Now that this very long chapter is out of the way, I need to rest because making this chapter, plus finding time, as well as looking for a job still hasn't been easy and I feel like I went with some days without a good night's sleep and I'm tired... so if you excuse me... *Goes and unceremoniously collapses on a cot to recover*.)
