Chapter 13

Cosmic

Optimus laid the Fallen to rest Even the vehicons, Optimus was about to radio back to base for a ground Bridge When a meteorite came Falling from orbit Optimus watched it As it got closer and closer to the ground, a Massive explosion, Optimus Stabbed the Starsaber into the ground As the Shockwave hit. When the wind finally died down There was still smoke That revealed where that crashed site was. Optimus transformed and Drove towards the crash site. He had to make sure no humans were Harmed.

While he was driving he thought about the promise he made to Dion, About not losing who he was, Had a war really changed him that much? so that a controlled Dion was able to recognize it. Optimist was so lost in thought he didn't notice Ratchet over the comms until he screamed.

"Optimus!" Ratchet said over the Comms this was the third time he tried to make contact with Optimus.

"What is it Ratchet?" Optimus questioned, As he was still Driving towards the crash site.

"Something just crashed Nearby, It's Cybertronian," Ratchet said in complete disbelief the two relics had crashed so close to each other.

"I am on my way, Ratchet," Optimus said.

"Good luck Optimus," Ratchet said before shutting down the comms. But just as Ratchet did that there was a massive Flash, Optimus transformed And looked Down, There was a portal, It wasn't a ground Bridge.It was bigger, much bigger.

And out came an army of Decepticons, Too many to take on alone If he didn't have the star saber And they were led by six Green and purple Decepticons, The Constructicons Who Formed Devastator, They would be a challenge if they combined But Optimus refocused on the center of the Crater.

In the center of the crater he saw it. A legendary item, a shield, in all its glory. It lay still, awaiting someone to find it and wield it. It sat and produced its humming melody, a tone that gave off the feeling of protection and relief.

The cosmic Shield, a Relic That has been lost long before the golden The Golden Age of Cybertron, Legends Say it was impenetrable And is synced to the Users will, When combined with the star saber The user is Unstoppable But requires the user to be worthy to Wield both.

Optimus Had to reach it, This time Instead of trying to be stealthy Which he was not built for, With the star saber in hand He slowly walked forward completely exposed. All the Decepticons spotted him and pulled their blasters, Optimus continued to walk forward. He thought about the promise He had made and spoke.

"Lower your weapons,"Optimus Spoke his voice booming throughout The area, Optimus now Stood in front of the directly in front of the entire Decepticon Army Who all looked at each other but didn't lower their weapons.

"I do not wish to fight you, I only want the Relic," Optimus said. The Decepticons still did not lower their weapons although some appeared hesitant.

"If you surrender now we can do this without bloodshed." Optimus said hoping that would Work, And it momentarily did. Optimus noticed how in the crowd A few Vehicons Lowered their weapons and moved to the side.

But Ultimately Optimus was shot at, by a Constructicon Optimus thought it might be Scrapper But it doesn't matter Because every Decepticon in the army Begin firing, Optimus Spun around And swung the star saber Generating an arc of energy big enough to decimate the entire Decepticon Army.The Constructicons Slid under it as the other Decepticons were killed The massive beam of energy Slicing through them.

Scrapper was tall and had two main colors, like the rest of the Constructicons, neon purple and lime. His lower legs, arms and shoulders were lime. His torso was purple and he had white upper legs and details.

Bonecrusher was mainly a forest green, with bulldozer tracks on legs. The inside of his arms were purple and his head and helmet was dark gray.

Hook was mostly lime green, with a pale purple torso. His upper arms and shoulders had pale, pale green stripes. He had a pale purple square; that looked like a window; on one of his lower legs. His head was gray and his visor red.

Mixmaster was mostly lime, with his lower legs, arms and helmet. His upper legs were white, and his torso pale purple. He had wheels in the joints of his arms and his face was blue.

Scavenger was of course similar to the others, but with his own differences. His shoulders, arms and chest were lime, with his torso being white. He had purple legs and a blue face with a black helmet. His Decepticon insignia glew purple on the right side of his chest.

Last up was Longhaul, with his chest, torso and legs being lime. His arms were a profound shade of gray; and similar to his arms, his head, face and helmet were gray but this time they were lighter. His insignia glowed purple from the center of his torso.

The Constructicons rushed at Optimus Optimus slid under Scavenger and kicked him twice in the back sending him flying Into scrapper, Mixmaster pulled out a cannon and fired it at Optimus, It's fired out Some sort of glowing green slime, Optimus Dodged and the sludge went into Long Hauls face, Long haul Stumbled back Trying to get the Burning Concoction off of him When Optimus kicked him back, Optimus Ran forward and grab the mixmasters Cannon Before slicing it in half with the starsaber And slashing at Mixmaster Who managed to get out of the way in time but suffered a slash mark across his chest. Hook attempted to rush at optimus But optimus flipped him over his back And into BoneCrusher, Scavenger came in from behind and attempted to strike at Optimus Who dodged to the strike Circled around Scavenger and slashed him across the back Before kicking him Away.

Scrapper Ran at optimus And turned his hand into a blade, He attempted to go for an overhead strike But Optimus raised to the Starsaber just in time to block it Scavenger ran at Optimus while He was distracted and attempted to punch him in the face But optimus grabbed scavenger's head With his other hand and Threw him into Long Haul Who was also About to strike Sending them both tumbling away.

Optimus Grab Scrappers Head and And slammed it into the ground. Mixmaster Ran at Optimus who uppercuted him Into the air and kicked him in the head as he fell, Scrapper got to his feet And activated a laser cutter that he modified to act like a sword And swung it at Optimus's side Who blocked it, Optimus shoved it away before Attempting to strike at Scrappers head Who also blocked it, but this time Optimus Kicked Scrapper down And was about to kill him, When bonecrusher Attempted to kick Optimus who Grabbed his leg And tossed him away. Hook Attempted to hit Prime Who dodged and kicked him into Mixmaster Knocking them both down.

Long Haul picked up a massive Boulder And threw it at Optimus Who swung the Starsaber upwards Cutting the boulder in half, Forcing Scavenger and Srapper To Dodge the Halfs because they were about to strike Optimus, Optimus transformed and Rammed Long Haul Before transforming again, And Hit Long Haul In the gut with the flat of the Starsaber Launching him into the air, Optimus then jumped up into the air with him and struck him the back of the head with the pommel Sending him to the ground, And then Optimus landed directly on Long haul's Head, Mixmaster Ran at Optimus but was kicked back quickly to the other Constructicons, Optimus then Grabbed a long haul and tossed him to the other Constructicons as well.

The Constructicons helped Both Mixmaster and Long Haul up.

"I'm beginning to think we should surrender guys," Scavenger said, Extremely nervous.

"No, I say we kill him and bring his mangled body and his Stupid Sword back To Megatron," Bonecrusher said, banging his Fists together.

"I would love to use his sword To make my concoctions," Mixmaster said, Staring creepily at the starsaber.

"When we kill him I'm not carrying him back," Long haul said, Grumpy, Crossing his arms.

"Well too bad, because you are,I can't risk scratching up my new paint job," Hook said, examining his paint job for any scratches.

"Constructicons, combine Into Devastator!" Scrapper said.

Scrapper and Mixmaster both transformed and split in half The front of the vehicle modes acting like a sort of foot while the back Half raised straight up, Long Haul Drove straight up Scrapper and Mixmaster to form the waist, Hook jumped straight up And transformed in order to become the upper body,Scavenger and Bone Crusher jumped up in transformed the mid-air and attached it to Devastator's body And formed the Arms.

Devastator was a tall, big beast, who stood much taller than Optimus. He was a wonderful combination, showcasing each one of his parts in a different way. His legs were lime, with a cement mixer barrel; as the start of his lower right leg; in purple. The joint and the top of his legs, and bottom of his torso, was also purple. His lower torso was lime; with a shape similar to that of a main jet structure in purple, covered the majority of his chest. His shoulders were green, but his arms were a delicate shade of gray and his hands were purple. Of course his visor glowed red and his Decepticon insignia almost perfectly matched the jet on his chest.

Optimus backed away as he watched a head rise up From Hook And without moving its mouth The combiner spoke, "Devastator online," It said, Its Optics glowing a bright red.

Devastator Attacked Optimus Who dodged and Swung the StarSaber towards Devastator And the Beam of energy didn't seem to falter Devastator one bit As Devastators stomped on the ground, Which cause did the earth below Optimus to rise up at such a fast pace it launched him into the air And devastated punched Optimus into The crater wall At full force, Optimus looked back up and saw Devastators Purple Hand Reaching down to grab him.

Optimus Transformed and drove away As devastator Grabbed nothing but dirt. Devastator kicked Optimus, Went to try and step on him But Optimus rolled out of the way and stabbed the Starsaber into the back Of his leg, Devastator screamed in pain and swatted Optimus away Causing him to land right next to the cosmic Shield, Devastator walked over and got ready to punch Optimus into nothingness, But Devastator is punch was it stopped by Something, Devastater realized that Optimus was using the cosmic Shield to block his attack.

Optimus Pushed Devastators arm to the side And blocked a kick from Devastator, Optimus Rushed towards Devastator's Left leg Jumped up and plugged The Starsaber into it dragging it down And causing mixed Masters acidic concoction to spill all over devastator's leg. Devastated screamed in pain as mixMasters concoction burned devastator's leg, He tried to punch Optimus, But Optimus Blocked and shoved Devastators arm directly into the ground Getting it stuck there. Optimus then Ran up The arm and used the cosmic Shield to Punches Devastator in the face, Optims then used the star saber and stabbed into devastator's chest Dragging it down his entire body for landing safely on his feet. Devastator Screamed in pain as he held where Optimus had slid down Before falling,And turning back into the Constructicons.

Hook and Long Haul had been completely sliced into, Mixmaster Was unfortunately destroyed due to his concoction, scrapper Looked up to see the barrel of Optimus Prime's ion blaster Pointing directly at his Head.

"Surrender," Optimus said, not taking his Blaster away from Scrappers face.

Reluctantly scrapper said "We surrender," He said with his arms raised.

"Ratchet, I need a ground Bridge and prepare the brig."Optimus said Over the comms And then The ground Bridge opened up nearby and Optimus forced the Constructicons In.

After they had locked the Constructicons up the Autobots began to ask Optimus many questions

"What are they,"Bumblebee questioned.

Optimus took out the star saber and the cosmic Shield and explained what he knew about them.

Arcee Optics were wide with Disbelief, "Optimus if what you're saying is true then, These could be the key to winning the war," This made all the autobots Go silent, The war had been going on for so long that could they even return to their normal lives after it,If there was anything left of their normal lives. The war has been going on for so long that when they looked back at their lives before the war it seemed so foreign,Like memories of a different person.

Optimus placed A hand on Arcees shoulder, "I hope so Arcee I truly do hope so,"
