My head!\u201d it groaned. \u201cFeels like I\u2026wait\u2026which head?!\u201d The creature then felt its head. \u201c\u2026No horns! \u2026Not even made of steel!\u201d The creature then took in its surroundings. \u201cV-Voksphere?! But that means-!\u201d The creature then stood up and looked at the mirrored walls of Primacron\u2019s lab\u2026or rather, the CREATURE\u2019S lab! The creature could see his reflection! He was neither Primus of Light nor Unicron of Darkness! He was now their combined whole, Primacron, Scientist of Voksphere! \u201cMy experiment!\u201d whispered Primacron. \u201cThose nitwits! They ruined my experiment! THEY RUINED MY EXPERIMENT!\u201d He then activated the comms on his helmet. \u201cStarscream, the project is ruined! Bring your Trine to the lab!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI was afraid I\u2019d hear your old voice,\u201d sighed Starscream. \u201cWe\u2019re beaming down!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Primacron had already entered the lab once the Seekers beamed down. When they approached him, he was at work. \u201cAnd just how, pray tell, are we going to deal with this?!\u201d asked Starscream. \u201cThe Goddesses are back! You\u2019re back to being one man! Tornedron\u2019s fighting Chaos-powered creatures! We don\u2019t have much time left on our own Emeralds! What are we gonna do?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLaunch the lab, for one thing,\u201d remarked Primacron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026Is there even enough power to do that?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLooks like it,\u201d remarked Skywarp. \u201cFuel tank says it\u2019s full. Though, it could have separated due to lack of use.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNot likely,\u201d replied Primacron. \u201cThe fuel is a pure element.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026Fair enough. Let\u2019s launch this puppy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026You\u2019ve interacted with humans for too long,\u201d muttered Starscream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOptimus, we\u2019ve only got thirty seconds left!\u201d warned Prowl. \u201cTornedron\u2019s not showing any signs of slowing down!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe break off once the gold fades away!\u201d replied Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou can break off, we\u2019re staying behind!\u201d called the Vok Fleet Admiral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNo, join us as we pull back!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe can\u2019t afford to have Tornedron pursue us!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOptimus is right, my child!\u201d interjected Lux. \u201cThe three of us will deal with Tornedron!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019ll lose your energy as bad as the rest of us!\u201d argued Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re infinite, we can take it!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026Fine, do it!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cUmbra, Gaia!\u201d called Lux over a mental channel. \u201cOnce the fleet\u2019s Chaos forms fade, we move against Tornedron!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGot it!\u201d replied Umbra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cReady!\u201d confirmed Gaia. A few seconds later, the ships started fading back to their original colors, as well as their respective crews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNOW!\u201d called Lux.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>The three Goddesses appeared in front of Tornedron. \u201cTornedron!\u201d called Gaia. \u201cYou have been duped into taking part of an experiment that would end the universe as we know it! Surrender and we will grant you clemency!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI will take no orders from you!\u201d growled Tornedron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t wish to hurt you,\u201d warned Umbra, \u201cbut we WILL use force if necessary!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou will have to end my life!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t want to, but that option IS available,\u201d declared Lux. All three of them then summoned an energy sphere before launching energy streams at Tornedron. Unlike Chaos energy, Tornedron simply opened its mouth and consumed the energies the Goddesses fired. It then changed into a tentacled creature, grabbed the three, and flung them towards the fleet. As they recovered, Gaia noticed something rising from Voksphere. It was asteroid-shaped and had a ring sprouting from its center. She recognized the top of the structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026It can fly?!\u201d she yelped. \u201cMama Lux! Mama Umbra! Look! Primacron\u2019s lab can fly!\u201d Lux and Umbra goggled at what Gaia saw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t believe it!\u201d whispered Umbra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWho would have thought,\u201d chuckled Primacron as the Goddesses\u2019 shocked expressions graced the viewscreen, \u201cthat I was capable of surprising them!!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLook at them!\u201d chuckled Sunstorm. \u201cSo scared of what we can do!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSpeaking of fear,\u201d mused Skywarp, \u201chow about we show ALL our enemies fear?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAn excellent suggestion!\u201d replied Starscream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIndeed,\u201d agreed Primacron as he sat at a control console, took a joystick, and put his free had to the buttons. \u201cLet\u2019s start with\u2026the <em>Ark<\/em>!\u201d Primacron moved the joystick in one direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTornedron\u2019s coming this way!\u201d called Prowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEvasive maneuvers!\u201d ordered Optimus. As the <em>Ark<\/em> pitched to get out of the way, something got between them and Tornedron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSir, it\u2019s the Quintessons!\u201d called Cliffjumper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat\u2019s Brinn doing?!\u201d demanded Optimus. \u201cHail them!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cChannel open! Audio only!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBrinn, what\u2019s going on here?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDefending your ship, Prime,\u201d replied Brinn\u2019s voice. \u201cThe <em>Ark<\/em> is the fleet\u2019s flagship, is it not?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBrinn, there would be no value in your sacrifice! Pull back at once!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSorry, but I must plead guilty to disobeying you.\u201d Brinn then cut the channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>On the Quintesson ship, the helmsman set a course. \u201cAll decks report ready,\u201d he called through his face of Judgement\/Doubt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u202670 trillion Quintessons gone,\u201d waxed Brinn through the same face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPardon, your Honor?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s the final count of Quintessa\u2019s population. \u2026Well, I suppose congratulations are in order, everyone. Our goal has been accomplished. The Neutral Zone between our people and the Cybertronians is finally dissolved. \u2026Or, at least, the Zone between what\u2019s left of our people and the Cybertronians.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026Your Honor, I fail to see-\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou know, some would say that we\u2019ve gotten just what we deserved, hm? After all, we\u2019re not entirely innocent, are we? And I\u2019m not just talking about letting Cybertron slip through our tendrils. No, our history leading up to that point was one of arrogant aggression. We bombed people that only committed crimes against each other, thus provoking a response. That first bomb was when we inspired the Cybertronians to revolt against us. Oh, there\u2019s no doubt in my mind, we\u2019re guilty as charged!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026Your Honor, you and I both know we\u2019ll be remembered for years to come. We will still survive, in a sense! The Quintessons will survive!\u201d Brinn switched to his face of Bitterness\/Wisdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn mere history books, yes! But not as the Quintessons we knew! Quintessa had a rich and ancient culture! Our music, literature, and art were second to none! \u2026And now\u2026so much of it is\u2026lost to misinterpretation through history! \u2026So many of our best people\u2026our most gifted minds\u2026\u201d The Helmsman stood up and approached Brinn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSir, I apologize if-\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOh, it\u2019s\u2026quite all right.\u201d Brinn then put a shoulder as he adopted his face of Death. \u201cYou\u2019ve been such a good Judge. I\u2019m going to miss our trials together.\u201d The helmsman then changed his face to his Death one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m sure we\u2019ll preside over the Eternal Courtroom.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d like to think so, but one can never say. We have yet to receive our verdict.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Tornedron passed over the Quintesson ship and drained its energy. The <em>Ark<\/em> successfully got away, but all power and life were leeched out of Brinn and his remaining Quintessons and ship. Tornedron released the ship and cackled with glee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSo, farewell to the Quintessons!\u201d scoffed Starscream. \u201cThey really set the experiment back when they enslaved Cybertron.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWell, back to business,\u201d sighed Primacron as he pulled the joystick in one direction.
