They showed off the ghosts and Thundercracker became scared. \u201cIs that what this is?!\u201d he gulped. \u201cYou\u2019re bent on showing me my sins?! A trial?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s get one thing out of the way,\u201d replied Firestar\u2019s ghost, \u201cyou ran me through with your sword. You made my parents grieve.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a little late for sorry now, isn\u2019t it?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is\u2026but not for atonement.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026You really think I CAN atone for what I did?! I\u2019ve tried every path, but there\u2019s no chance of me escaping the Pit for killing a child!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThen train a new generation of Seekers,\u201d directed Firestar. \u201cA generation that blends both Autobot AND Decepticons together. \u2026Before that, though, you need to defeat the one who planted the idea in your head during that fight.\u201d Thundercracker arched an eyebrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat do you mean?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI mean that someone projected their will into you, forced you to think about killing me, then just watched as you did so.\u201d Thundercracker\u2019s optics flickered, then they widened in disbelief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026Starscream?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cStarscream. He made you into his puppet.

Death to Starscream for his crimes!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDeath to Starscream!\u201d repeated Optimus, Megatron, and the ghosts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGood hunting, Thundercracker of the Seekers,\u201d bid Firestar as she and her parents then faded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf you need help, you need merely ask,\u201d offered Megatron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m gonna hold you to that, Sir,\u201d replied Thundercracker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>A week had finally passed. Everyone had mastered their super forms and were ready to board the starships on course for the Galactic Council. As everyone was getting ready to board the ships, Optimus and Megatron stood by the teleport pads, facing each other. They then stepped forward. After staring at each other for a few seconds, they moved their hands towards the other and clasped their opposite\u2019s hand. \u201cTO THE UNITY!\u201d called the two leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTO THE UNITY!\u201d cheered the crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWith this historic handshake,\u201d continued Optimus, \u201cI, Optimus Prime, pledge to both Autobots and Decepticons to fight together! Even if the Council won\u2019t listen to us, we shall prevail to bring peace and harmony to the universe!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd to annihilate Primacron\u2019s warped creations!\u201d continued Megatron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Kong Primal looked to Waspinator as the crowd boarded the ships. \u201cI meant to ask, who\u2019s leading you guys now that Saurion\u2019s gone?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026It\u2019zzz Terrorzzzaur,\u201d replied Waspinator as he looked to Terrorsaur. \u201cTarantulazzz fled back to Animatrozzz to hide with refugeezzz.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat about you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026Terrorzzzaur is Wazzzpinator\u2019zzz friend\u2026but not commander. No Predacon izzz! Wazzzpinator zzzick of being evil! Zzzick of being Predacon! And Wazzzpinator ezzzpecially zzzick of getting blown to ZZZCRAP ALL THE TIME! Zzzo, Wazzzpinator QUITZZZ Predaconzzz!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026You\u2019re more than welcome to join the Maximals.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGo on,\u201d urged Terrorsaur as he approached them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026Terrorzzzaur\u2019zzz\u2026okay with Wazzzpinator\u2026leaving?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s be honest, you don\u2019t exactly like the Predacon side and only stayed because I was the only Predacon friend you had. Hopefully, you can make more among the Maximals.\u201d Waspinator\u2019s lower lip trembled behind his mandibles, then he burst into tears as he hugged Terrorsaur! \u201cHEY!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWAZZZPINATOR ZZZO HAPPY TO HEAR THAT!\u201d sobbed Waspinator. \u201cWAZZZPINATOR GONNA MIZZZ TERRORZZZAUR!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026Um\u2026there, there!\u201d stumbled Terrorsaur as he awkwardly patted his friend\u2019s back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, Ransack looked at Override. Override grinned. \u201cHey, put her there, buddy!\u201d She held her hand out for a shake. Ransack looked to Crumplezone who just shrugged. He then took Override\u2019s hand and shook it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m only doing this,\u201d he explained, \u201cbecause we got a greater enemy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t believe I\u2019m fighting for harmony!\u201d complained Brawl. \u201cWhat a load of bunk! I\u2019m a lean, mean, conquering machine!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI gotta work with this guy?\u201d muttered Afterburner to himself. \u201cI\u2019m not so sure about this.\u201d Brawl heard that!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHey, put it on mute, soldier! The one thing I can\u2019t stand is a smart-mouthed Technobot!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWell, Sonic, looks like we gotta work together again,\u201d muttered Eggman. \u201cHow many times is that? Seven?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEight. Remember the Unicron Games?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI remember, I still think it was seven.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026Weird, I thought it was eight. \u2026Must have been a dream. I thought we both fought in Soleanna.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd you died, but came back to life by the Princess kissing you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026You had the same dream too?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI suppose we\u2019re on the same side,\u201d Morgane grunted to Merlin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor how long?\u201d asked the wizard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026Until either our deaths or until we return to Mobius in victory against Starscream\u2019s forces.\u201d Merlin nodded sagely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI can work with that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAll right, everyone!\u201d called Optimus to the crowd. \u201cIt\u2019s time to get down to business!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAll hands, report to your ships!\u201d directed Megatron. \u201cSet course for the Galactic Council Space Station!\u201d Everyone then lined up and followed their leaders through the transporter beams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Optimus made his way to the <em>Ark<\/em>\u2019s bridge and looked around again. \u201cHere we go again,\u201d he muttered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSir?\u201d asked Goldbug.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m just getting a little d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu. Some time ago, we left this planet to pursue a threat. Now, here we are, leaving Mobius to pursue a threat.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe only difference is that the threat is a divine one instead of a mortal one.\u201d Optimus smirked as he turned to the rest of the bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOrdinarily, I would request someone to play the opening music for the original <em>Star Trek<\/em>, but we\u2019re pressed for time. No splitting infinitives today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFleet reports ready,\u201d called Prowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCourse laid in, Sir,\u201d reported Cliffjumper. Optimus sat down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAll ships to the Council Station, maximum warp,\u201d he ordered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMaximum warp, aye, Sir.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe fleet\u2019s moving off,\u201d called Ravage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe bring up the rear,\u201d replied Megatron. \u201cCollective warp signature?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWarp 12.2,\u201d Strika read from her console. \u201cWe\u2019ll get to the Council Station in an hour.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cExcellent.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLast ship\u2019s spinning up its engines,\u201d reported Ravage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSpin ours up and get us out of here.\u201d Ravage obeyed and the <em>Nemesis-A<\/em> followed the fleet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Starscream\u2019s War-world entered Mobian space about an hour later after the fleet arrived. Starscream grinned wickedly as he could as he thought about the prospect of destroying the planet and all traces of the Prime. The boy was too nosy for his tastes. \u201cSkywarp, scan for the Matrix,\u201d he ordered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou got it!\u201d replied Skywarp. He keyed in a command. \u201cScans underway and\u2026FOUND HIM! HE\u2019S BY THE MOON BASE!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOh, how foolish of him! Deathsaurus, report!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve got a torpedo ready, my Lord,\u201d replied Deathsaurus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cReady another. The first one will destroy Prime as we want. Use the second one to destroy the base.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cReadying second torpedo\u2026done!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFire one!\u201d Deathsaurus fired the torpedo at the area where \u201cPrime\u201d was. It exploded on the moon\u2019s surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026Readings are still consistent,\u201d reported Skywarp, shocking everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt should have killed him!\u201d remarked Sunstorm. Skywarp checked his instruments, then his optics widened in horror.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat wasn\u2019t the Prime! It was a device masking the anti-matter residue in this area! He\u2019s nowhere in the solar system! \u2026He created false readings!\u201d Starscream\u2019s optics widened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026Deathsaurus, send a team down to the base! Download whatever data you can!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOn our way!\u201d Deathsaurus took a team, and they flew down to the base. They were offered no resistance. The team then got all the data they needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDeathsaurus,\u201d Starscream called over the comms, \u201cdo you have Prime\u2019s location?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI have data\u2026concerning a combined effort against us!\u201d reported Deathsaurus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCalculating residue trail!\u201d called Skywarp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDeathsaurus, return to the War-world!\u201d ordered Starscream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026I don\u2019t believe it!\u201d breathed Skywarp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat? What is it?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re heading towards the Galactic Council Space Station!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026They\u2019re going to plead their case!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026Orders, Starscream?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPursuit course!

Do hurry to Voksphere. Unicron, Tornedron, and I will meet you there.\u201d The mental call ended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s bad!\u201d gulped Skywarp. \u201cIf they do, Primus and Unicron will be recombined, and we\u2019ll be hosed!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLay in a course for Voksphere!\u201d ordered Starscream. \u201cMaximum speed!\u201d The War-world then turned and left Mobius\u2019 solar system in a hurry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thundercracker was led to the grave site by Optimus and Megatron.
