Chaos, That is what can describe what is happening to the world at this very moment. An eclipse appears and Volcanoes spew out dark Energon and as this Happens, Megatron is about to win the war. Before Megatron could strike and end his enemy, he felt himself getting flown back, getting tackled by Grimlock.Grimlock then starts punching him in the face repeatedly. Optimus groans a bit as he gets up. He then hears a groundbridge open behind him. He turns and looks at it.Both Arcee and Ratchet comes through it and they both pull Optimus through it. Arcee comes back."Grimlock! We gotta go Now!"
Grimlock gets up and then Growls at Megtron." Next time." He said as he runs to the groundbridge. It then closes once he makes it through.
Megatron wasn't damaged to badly. He starts laughing louder and louder." Run from my oblivion cowards, while you still can." He said with a sinister smirk.
At the base
After they brought Optimus to a spot near raf, Bumblebee closed the groundbridge. Rafael is feeling a lot better than he did before. "H... hi Optimus."
June narrowed her eyes.
"He's lucky to be alive."
Optimus looks away, feeling responsible for what has happened to Raf.
"Megtron found more of that dark Energon stuff?" Asked Jack as he walks down the stairs.
"A volcano full..." Arcee explained.
"The question is, 'how'?" Bulkhead was completely confused.
"I don't know, but what I do know is that Megatron got tougher and stronger the moment the volcano erupted." Said Grimlock. He remembers how megatron was losing one moment and then started beating up Optimus the next.
"That does not explain why the blood of unicron is here, on earth." Said Ratchet.
"The cons killed a unicorn?" Miko asked, everyone just staring at her. "You know- horse with a horn on it's head. Prances around all pretty and sparkly."
"Unicron. An ancient evil whose fossilized blood comprises the matter which we call dark energon. As legend would have it." Ratchet corrected. But that still don't explain why there is dark Energon on earth.
"Jack- help me get Raf into the car." June could hardly believe this. She has to get raf somewhere safer and away from all this.
"But Raf is safer here- with them." Jack gestured to the Autobots.
"Yeah. We'll keep him safe. You have my word as a dinobot." Said Grimlock. He doesn't want raf to leave and He doesn't want Raf to get hurt again.
"Grimlock... they're children. They do not belong in your world." She explained. "They shouldn't be worrying about their own survival. You're coming with me-all three of you. And they will not be coming back."
"I understand." Said Optimus. He can't stop June from taking the children. It is probably best that they do leave.
"But Optimus, There our Friends." Said Grimlock who didn't want them to go.
"That's it...?" Miko couldn't believe it. "After everything we've been through- just... see ya? Don't we have a say in this!?"
"That may fly on their planet- but not here on earth. Get in the car."
"You expect me to listen to you?"
"Miko, maybe you should go with Her." Said Bulkhead as he looks down at her.
"Your not my mom!" Miko huffed.
Jack refused to go as well, June ends up only leaving with Raf.
Bee watches as his best friend is taken away. He is very saddened by this.
Grimlock pats Bees back." It's alright bee. I miss him too but he'll be back. I know it." Said Grimlock.
Hearing that Made bee a bit better.
"Prime- do you copy!?" Fowler called. He has some big important news for team prime to hear.
"I hear you agent Fowler." Said Optimus as he walks over to the computer.
"Been watching the news? Mother nature's got a twitch in her britches." He huffed.
"Are you talking about the volcano? We already know that." Said Grimlock.
"And the quakes? There are disaster's going all around the globe!"
"Uh guys, you might wanna hear this." Said Jack as he turns up the volume.
"Freak storms unlike any of the region has seen. Tsunamis threaten the Canadian coast while lighting storms pummel the Gobi Desert. Meanwhile, electromagnetic anomalies plague urban power grids. These abnormal global phenomena are leaving most to wonder: why now and what next." The TV narrator reported.
"Don't tell me the cons have built a weather machine." Agent Fowler said.
"One that powerful? Very unlikely." Said Ratchet.
"I do not believe the appearance of dark energon at this point in time to be coincidental." Optimus said.
Out on the road
June's car was caught within a tornado, about to fly into the power lines. The car suddenly stops as it is grabbed by Bee. He had came to save raf and to bring him and June back to base. But the tornado was powerful and it was slowly pulling him and the others in. Bee almost gets sucked in, but then, a big hand grabs bee and starts pulling him and the others away. Everyone looks and sees that it's Grimlock." Everyone alright?" Asked Grimlock.
June and Raf nod." Thanks Grim." Said Raf. He was glad him and bee came to there rescue.
"Grimlock, thank you. I'm sorry for what I said Earlier." Said June. She felt bad that she didn't think he or the others could keep the children safe.
"It's alright. You were just worried about them. But your not the only one who is worried about them." Grimlock said with a grin. He then looks at the direction of the way back to base." We should all get going before a bigger storm comes here." He said
Later At the Autobot base
Everyone saw Bee driving back into base, with Raf and June. Grimlock was right behind them. He then walks over to Arcee and stands next to her.
"we're back." Raf remarked awkwardly getting out of bee.
"And we are glad." Ratchet said in relief.
"Mom, are you alright?" Jack asked with worry as he walked up to her.
"I will be." She answered. "Jack..."
"Mom, I'm..."
"I know, me too." June smiled before she hugged her son. "But you're grounded till you're thirty." She said, making him slightly groan. "Twenty-five."
"World leaders are classifying these bizarre weather patterns as a global emergency." The TV voice said.
"Global?" June asked in shock.
"And scientists believe the phenomenon is somehow related to the current planetary alignment."
In that moment, agent Fowler came from the elevator.
"What did you learn, prime? And better be clear and don't come with hard explications or-...!" Fowler said until he saw that June was there too. "Ms Darby. What a nice surprise."
"Special agent Fowler." June greeted.
"We have learned this: as with the so-called magma from the volcano, these earthquakes originated far below the Earth's crust, from the very center of the Earth's core in fact." Ratchet explained.
"Quakes don't start there... do they?" He asked as he looks at June.
"Tiny tremors rising and falling in a consistent pattern, almost like..." Ratchet trailed off before he thought about something seeing the readings. "By the Allspark. If I convert these data points to audio files..."
"Wh-what is it...?"
The sound a heart began to beat, making everyone concerned.
"How is that possible? A heart pumps blood- there's nothing it can pump."
"Except dark energon..."
"Wait what? Are you telling me that Unicron real? I thought he was just a made up legend." Said Grimlock who now believes in Unicron.
"So... how do we stop this legend from uprising?" Fowler was very worried. A literal demon of destruction was living in the earth's core.
"That I'm afraid was not foretold." Optimus answered. He had no idea how to stop this from happening.
"How could something be in our Earth's core and be alive?" June asked.
"Such a thing is not unprecedented." Optimus began. "Before the beginning, there was Primus and there was Unicron. One the incarnation of creation, the other of destruction. For eons, Primus and Unicron battled. The balance of power shifted between them more times than could be counted. Only by creating the Thirteen, the original Primes before me, was Primus finally able to defeat Unicron and cast him out. Primus became one with the very core of our planet, creating life through the Well of all Sparks, while Unicron was never to be heard from again...until now."
"So... what's going to happen now that Unicron wakes up from his billion year nap?" Jack crossed his arms.
"Maybe we can find the hole this uber Bot left when he dug himself all the way down there and fill it full of explosives."
"Agent Fowler, I do not believe that Earth became Unicron's home, but rather that, with time and gravitational force, debris collected around the slumbering titan." Optimus explained.
"Forming your Earth itself." Ratchet finished.
"And he's only awakening now due to the magnetic pull created by the planetary alignment." Arcee added.
"Now that he's up, he's probably not happy we're all standing on him. I know I wouldn't be happy if I woke up and found a bunch of stuff on me." Said Grimlock
"So... what's going to happen when Unicron wakes up from his billion year nap?" Jack crossed his arms.
Optimus turns away a bit. "My guess is that Unicron has transcended physical form as we know it. Nonetheless, we must find a way to unsure that this force of nature never fully awakens. The fate of your planet depends upon it." Optimus concluded.
Later ...
Optimus was inside a canyon, scanning the area.
"Ratchet , this epicenter is consistent with the findings of the others. It's terrain is rich in ore."Optimus informed through the com-link.
"So what does that tell us?" Fowler asked.
"It follows that the natural metals in your Earth would be extensions of Unicron. His limbs, if you will." Ratchet explained.
"So he did have his morning stretch, which is why these quakes happened." June deduced.
Suddenly, the computer made some noise.
"Optimus , we're detecting a swell in Unicron's spark activity."
"Rest assured, Ratchet . I will proceed with vigilance."
He suddenly heard crumbling noises and turned around to see Unicron's face form in the rocks.
"Do you know me, follower of Primus?" The face asked.
"Unicron: the chaos bringer."
"Good." Unicron smirked as more rocks began to fall, and an entire body of himself came out from the wall. "Now know me as Unicron, your destroyer!"
His appearance was like the Devil: full with marks, extensions like demonic wings in his back and two large horns on his head, with a face like an old person, but sinister. His arms finished in two sharp appendices, which he used to attack. Optimus blocked him with his sword and backed away as Unicron continued to attack. Unicron jumped into the air, but Optimus jumped backwards before the chaos bringer had a chance to strike him.
Then Optimus made his blades go awayand put his arms out. "I humbly requested your ear, lord Unicron."
That made Unicron stop attacking and looked at Optimus with curiosity. "And what would a follower of Primus be so compelled to say to me?"
"I make this appeal not for myself, but for this planet which you constitute, and the beings who inhabit it. Humankind relies upon you. For life, sustenance, your resurrection will only result in the destruction of a species which evolved from the seeds of your very greatness."
"So this humankind of whom you speak, you consider them my progeny?"
"Indeed."
"Parasites! They too shall know my wrathful hand, once I am finished with you." Unicron declared as he changed his weapons into hands and send lighting to Optimus, electrocuting him and sending him flying backwards.
As Optimus tried to get up, Unicron walked up to him. "The line of primes have grown weak in my absence. And thus, you shall fall." Unicron said as he start's charging his hands with dark energon lighting again.
"That outcome is inevitable, but not on this day!" Optimus declared as he fired his blasters at him.
The shots went straight through Unicron as he fell on the floor. Optimus watched as the form of Unicron's body turned into rocks. Then he heard another crumbling noise and looked around to see rock manifestations of Unicron pop up from the ground and out of the wall, forming in different areas of the canyon.
"Yes, disciple of Primus, on this very day, for Unicron may be one, but we all are Unicron!" They all declared.
Later...
The Autobots came blazing through the ground bridge- having gotten a distress call from Optimus, Arcee jump kicking one of the stone soldiers that were beating down the prime.Bulkhead smashed the other two into pieces.Bee kicks one in the face. He then starts Assisting arcee out. Optimus stabs one through the torso.
"Let's rumble!" Yelled Grimlock as he starts punching and destroying a lot of stone soldiers. A bunch start surrounding Grimlock and then all jump on him and start piling up. A few jump on him, But then they are all thrown back and destroyed as Grimlock transforms and roars.
When they all ran out of the canyons a giant unicorn solder emerged.
"This fight just keeps getting better and Better!" Said Grimlock as he charges at the Soldier without hesitation.
"What is with him and Fights?!" Bulkhead asked Arcee because he thinks she knows the Answer.
"Don't look at me..." She said as she slightly rolled her optics. "Grimlock- come back! You can't take him!"
Before Grimlock could attack a familiar jet flew in to do the same.Grimlock keeps going till he gets to the stone giants foot and rams his whole body through it.
Everyone looks at the Jet." Is that?..."Asked Bulkhead who can't believe what he's seeing.
The entire giant stone soldier crumbled. It first fell backwards because of Grimlock, but it's face was destroyed by Megatron who shot at it. Megatron then jumps down and lands next to Optimus. He then does something no one would ever thought he would do, he helps Optimus up.
Grimlock walks over to Everyon, he doesn't know megatron is here." What are you all staring at?" He asked. He then looks and sees Megs helping Optimus up. He then growls at him." Megatron!" Said Grimlock.
He grins at this a bit. He then ignores him and looks at prime."I have a proposal... join me in defeating our shared enemy- unicorn, the chaos bringer."
Ratchet laughed. "As if we'll believe that!"
"I agree with Ratchet. Why should we believe you? How do we know you won't join him the moment we have our back turned?" Asked Grimlock. He's starting to think why he hasn't started to tear him apart yet.
"Because megatrons pride will never allow anyone other than himself to rule this planet." Said Optimus as he walks over to Megs.
"You know me all too well, Optimus." He chuckled.
"You lead an army of 'cons. Why come to us?" Bulkhead asked, confused.
"Because this particular endeavor requires something beyond the realm of my command- the power of a prime."
Bulkhead laughed. "Then I guess we don't need you."
"On the contrary, Optimus may be the only one who can defeat Unicron- but I remain the only one who can guide you to him."
"What are you suggesting? A truce? Because if you are then I might have to rip your face off for saying something so stupid." Said Grimlock. He was obviously very Angry right now with Megatron being here and dares to ask for help.
"Easy now Grimlock... wouldn't want something to happen to your two-wheeler girlfriend, now do you?" He grinned, Arcee narrowing her optics. "This truce will only be as long as it's mutually beneficial."
Grimlock growls at him." You lay a single finger on her and I'll tear you apart right where you stand." He said. He will not allow the warlord to lay a single finger on her. He'll die before he lets that happen.
Bee puts a hand on Grims forearm and beebs, telling him now is not the time for this.
"A truce between Autobot and Decepticon. How long do you expect us to believe that will last?"Optimus questioned.
"Whatever do you mean, Grimlock? I never had any intentions of doing so..." He began to jeer at him. "I was worried that YOU would harm her. Now wouldn't that be tragic? But considering your past, I wouldn't be surprised if her blood was on your servos-" Megatron froze, feeling a stinging pain on his cheek which began to swell up in pain, smoke literally coming off of his faceplate from where he was hit. It took him a while to realize that the two wheeler had slapped him across the faceplate- a bright and obvious handprint being left there which would probably last for a few months. He didn't know how to respond at first- turning to Optimus, still speechless as he couldn't believe what had just happened. "Until... until Unicron is no more..."
The Others was shocked while Optimus remains the same, though he was also shocked but he didn't show it." And when our proposed shared mission is complete?" Asked Optimus
"Things will go back to the way they were... if we do not act now- we shall be wasting precious time we can use offlining Unicron." He explained.
Bulkhead appears to be trying to say something to megatron. "Uh- you're... um..."
"What!? What is it...!?" He growled. "Speak up!"
"Y-your mouth... you're bleeding." Bulk actually found it funny how affective the slap was, the warlord turning around to wipe away the blood before turning back to the Autobots.
"How do you intend we get to Unicron?" Arcee asked, raising an optic ridge.
"There is only one way." Said Optimus.
"What way is that? Dig?" Asked Grimlock who has no idea what primes thinking of.
"Absolutely not!" Ratchet shouted through the comms, knowing Optimus's plan.
"Ground bridging into space or on a moving train is difficult enough. But plotting a blind jump inside of a sentient being? It's impossible." Ratchet explained.
"Besides, direct exposure to that much dark energon will debilitate you. You haven't built up immunity like megatron has." He explained
"Yet another strong argument for soliciting my guidance." Megatron scoffed. "I can lead your directly to Unicron's spark..." he added
"That doesn't explain how we are gonna beat him. Are we gonna punch him or something?" Asked Grimlock. He hopes that's the Answer.
"No Grimlock. We are going to stop Unicorn, with the matrix of leadership." Said Optimus
The Unicron soldier began to rebuild itself and a few more start appearing.
"We got another one!" Said Bulkhead as he aims his blasters at it.
"Ratchet, send a groundbridge." Said Optimus.
"Looks like I'll have to knock this one down as well." Said Grimlock as he punched his hand.
"No! We must return back to base." Said Optimus
They all went through the groundbridge, Megatron trudging slowly behind them. "So... this is where the magic happens? Quaint. And here are the humans..."
Miko just stared at him, flipping him off with both her hands. "Ugly ass motherfucker." She is then dragged away by Jack and agent Fowler.
"Wh-" Once again he was rendered speechless.
"What happened to his face?" Raf asked, looking at Optimus for an explanation and Megatron gave the prime a look that said 'don't you dare tell him'.
"That does not matter. Ratchet, attain the coordinates from out guest." Said Optimus. Optimus then walks away to go and give something to Jack.
Megatron walks over to Ratchet who is setting up the coordinates. Everyone has there weapons drawn at Megatron.
A few minutes later and the groundbridge opens.
They were all about to go through, Arcee looking at Megs. "You first."
"Before we go through, I believe that Grimlock will want to know something very important." Said Megatron as he looks at him.
"And what would that be?" Asked Grimlock who kinda didn't really wanna hear what he had to say.
"You remember when I slaughtered all the Dinobots and held the femme dinobot slash's head?" He asked with a smirk.
Grimlock growls at him. He is just asking to get torn to shreds at this point." Yeah." He said Angrily.
"Well it was fake head made by one of my mechanics. She and a selected few were spared and sent off to my top scientist to be turn into weapons. But he was lost during the war and now there in stasis, somewhere on cybertron." He said. He had just dropped the biggest bomb of knowledge. He then heads through the Groundbridge before Grimlock can ask any questions.
Grimlocks is frozen with shock, anger, and a bit of happiness." I'm not the last dinobot. Slash and some of the others are alive!" He said with some joy.
Everyone is happy for the big green jolly Dino." Grimlock, though we are happy for you, we must focus on the mission for now." Said Optimus
Grimlock nods." You got it Optimus." Said Grimlock. They all then go through the Groundbridge.
Later...
They were walking through the tunnels of Unicron's innermost systems, Megatron falling to his knees with a head ache. "Unicron is growing stronger... we must make haste."
Arcee looked at Optimus. "How do we know Unicron isn't using Megatron to lead us all into a trap?"
"We do not." Said Optimus as he walks past her.
"If this is a trap, then I'm gonna make sure he regrets it." Said Grimlock as he bangs his fists together.
"Unicron's spark is near..." Megatron muttered when they came across a bridge which reached across a ravine, Arcee fling ahead before gesturing to him.
"After you."
Megatron went first- whirring being heard within the distance. A swarm of bugs started to attack.
"I hate bugs." Said Grimlock as he transforms to Dino mode and then roars as he opens his jaws and flames come out, Burning most of the bug like creatures.
Everyone starts firing there weapons at the bug like creatures. The bugs fire back.Bulkhead didn't feel so good. The dark Energon is affect him. He then staggers a bit and is about to fall off the bridge.
Grimlock quickly grabs him and stops him from falling." Easy bulkhead. I got you." Said Grimlock.
They were rushing to the exit valve, Bulkhead calling out. "Arcee- come on!"
Arcee rode one of the bugs up to the bridge, running across with them.
"Unicron's spark lied just ahead..." Megatron opened the tunnel, trudging through while the rest stayed behind to keep the attackers at bay.
"Autobots, stay here and buy us some time." Said Optimus as he heads through with Megatron.
Grimlock roars as he breaths fire out at the bugs." We gotta keep fighting!" He said as he keeps spewing fire at the bugs.
Later...
Unicron has been sealed, but at a cost. Grimlock punches the last door down. Everyone sees Optimus and Megatron.
"Optimus!" Arcee ran through, Megatron looking over.
"Quickly Orion! We must retreat! Go, I'll cover you!"He turned to the ground bridge.
"Orion? I don't know who that is but you Better step away from Optimus." Grimlock said as he roars at Megatron and then charges at him.
Orion sees the Dinobot charging at them and Assumes that he is trying to harm them both. He quickly heads to the Groundbridge and goes through it.
Everyone watches in shock as Optimus and Megatron get away.
Later..
Everyone makes it back to base, well, almost everyone. The Autobots returned with a depressed look on their faces.
"Arcee! Grimlock!"Jack called.
"I was worried,Bulk."Miko said.
"You alright, bee?" Raf asked.
"And Optimus ?" Ratchet asked. "Is he...?" He hopes that Optimus is not dead.
"Dead? No." Arcee answered.
"But he looked right at us without recognizing us. Didn't even know his own name." Bulkhead explained.
"When Optimus surrendered the Matrix of Leadership, he lost more than the collective wisdom of the Primes, he lost his own memories." Ratchet realized.
"Wait, so he doesn't remember any of us? This is bad." Said Grimlock. This was terrible indeed.
End of Season 1
