\u201cWhat\u2019s wrong?\u201d asked Starscream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cStrange,\u201d muttered Primacron as he fiddled with the joystick. \u201cTornedron does not respond to my commands.\u201d Tornedron then moved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Why\u2019s he going to the War-world?\u201d asked Sunstorm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI gave no such command!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSomething\u2019s amiss here,\u201d said Skywarp. Primacron then keyed in a command and put his hand onto a handle, activating a communications unit to Tornedron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTornedron, the Ark<\/em> is still active,\u201d he relayed. \u201cPursue it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026I shall rule myself!\u201d laughed Tornedron in reply. \u201cYour War-world shall serve as an example of my power!\u201d Tornedron spread itself all over the War-world. Starscream got an instrument reading from the console. The War-world was losing power!<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSTARSCREAM! EMERGENCY!\u201d called Deathsaurus over the comms. \u201cWE\u2019RE LOSING OUR ENERGY! TORNEDRON\u2019S DRAINING US! WE CAN\u2019T-!\u201d The call abruptly cut itself off. Primacron got a new reading. The War-world and its crew\u2026were terminated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDid\u2026I see that?!\u201d asked Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMegatron and Ultra Magnus are hailing us,\u201d reported Prowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOpen a channel!\u201d Ultra Magnus and Megatron appeared on the screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOptimus, I just want to make sure my sensors aren\u2019t malfunctioning!\u201d remarked Megatron. \u201cDid you see Tornedron drain the War-world?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou too?!\u201d asked Ultra Magnus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cProwl, scan for survivors!\u201d Optimus called over his shoulder. Ultra Magnus and Megatron ordered the same of their respective Tactical Officers. They all reported the same thing, no survivors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThis is our chance!\u201d urged Ultra Magnus. \u201cWe must strike Tornedron now!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNo!\u201d argued Optimus. \u201cHe would drain us quicker than the War-world!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou know, I\u2019m willing to bet that this will work out,\u201d mused Megatron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHow?\u201d asked Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cPrimacron must have some form of failsafe in the event of Tornedron betraying him. If I know Starscream\u2019s legendary survival instinct, he\u2019ll engage it before Primacron regains control.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt\u2019s getting closer!\u201d wailed Starscream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI ORDER YOU TO STOP, TORNEDRON!\u201d Primacron shouted into the comms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI take no orders from you!\u201d answered Tornedron. \u201cInstead, I take your life-force!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThis is impossible!\u201d Primacron\u2019s fingers hurriedly keyed in commands, flipped switches, and pressed buttons to try and regain control. \u201cI have failsafe systems atop failsafe systems!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThere\u2019s nothing like dining at home! Or is that ON home?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019ll stop you! I\u2019ll\u2026!\u201d Primacron kept looking for all possible solutions concerning his creation. \u201cWhere is the Combined Radical Formu\u2026?! R-Retrace all constants\u2026!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEr, Primacron,\u201d gulped Starscream, \u201cI don\u2019t wish to rush you, but Tornedron\u2019s about to chomp down on us! Fix it!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe\u2019re finished!\u201d wailed Primacron. \u201cI\u2019ve amplified the energy parameters, minimized the drive augmenter, redirected the ion flow, I\u2019VE TRIED EVERYTHING!!!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHey, I don\u2019t know if you guys recall,\u201d remarked Sunstorm, \u201cbut there IS a simple solution!\u201d He pointed to a small red switch. Starscream and Skywarp smacked their foreheads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOf course!\u201d groaned Skywarp. \u201cThe reverse switch! Why didn\u2019t I<\/em> think of that?! It\u2019s so simple!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSunstorm, throw the reverse switch!\u201d ordered Starscream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBelay that!\u201d shouted Primacron. \u201cIf you do that, you\u2019ll reverse Tornedron\u2019s energy polarity and make it dissipate into nothingness!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBelay that belay that!\u201d argued Skywarp. \u201cIf he doesn\u2019t, we\u2019re as dead as the War-world!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBut Torne-!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBelay!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe arma-!\u201d Starscream then put his hand over Tornedron\u2019s mouth!<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSTOW! SHUT IT!\u201d shouted Starscream. He looked to Sunstorm. \u201cThrow the switch!\u201d Sunstorm nodded and threw the reverse switch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tornedron screamed in pain as a command was sent through its atomic structure. It then got smaller\u2026and smaller\u2026and smaller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat did I tell you?\u201d chuckled Megatron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTornedron really IS fading away!\u201d Ultra Magnus sighed in relief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe timing couldn\u2019t be better!\u201d cheered Optimus. \u201cAll ships that are able to; come about and head straight for the station! This is our chance to end it all!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHold up,\u201d interrupted Ultra Magnus. \u201cIf it really WAS Starscream and his desire to always save his hide, how are we going to end it? His Spark is an immortal one!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThat is something Vector Sigma can answer,\u201d called Lux\u2019s voice in their heads. Prowl then got something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cVector Sigma is hailing us from a Vok ship,\u201d he reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cPut him through,\u201d directed Optimus. Vector Sigma joined the call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cPrimacron\u2019s lab is powered by a contained curvature-type singularity, a black hole,\u201d explained the former supercomputer. \u201cWe destroy it while Primacron and the Seekers are near it, they get sucked in, then we close it!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHow do we do that?\u201d asked Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cLeave that to us,\u201d called Lux as she, Gaia, and Umbra entered the Ark<\/em>\u2019s bridge. \u201cWe\u2019ll contain it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThere IS a problem, though,\u201d remarked Umbra. \u201cPrimacron and the Seekers are just as masterful at light and dark as Gaia is.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSo, what, we need another warrior to face them?\u201d asked Megatron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI was thinking\u2026you and Optimus could be another Primacron after a fashion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cABSOLUTELY NOT!\u201d shouted Lux and Gaia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWait, you weren\u2019t thinking of combining us like you did with Primacron\u2019s two halves, right?\u201d asked Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cShe was, and we\u2019re not!\u201d declared Lux. \u201cPrimacron split himself into two incomplete beings. You two were complete since birth! The resulting blend of psyches would drive you two berserk!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNot if we treated the operation like a Combiner team,\u201d replied Megatron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou\u2019re not seriously going along with this!\u201d protested Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe just need our own personal Maximus so we CAN separate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMaximus?\u201d asked Lux.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThey\u2019re devices that Combiner teams use,\u201d explained Gaia, \u201cdesigned to separate the Combiner into its individual bots after a certain time has passed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIf we had a similar device,\u201d supplied Megatron, \u201cwe can beat Primacron quicker.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOptimus, Sonic\u2019s just beamed over,\u201d called Prowl. Sonic appeared on the bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGuys, whatever you\u2019re planning, I want in!\u201d declared the Hedgehog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOkay, wait, we can\u2019t exactly fuse organic matter with technological organisms like the Transformers,\u201d retorted Umbra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe don\u2019t need to,\u201d replied Gaia. \u201cBut if we give him a portion of our power, then he can set the lab to collapse!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHow big a portion are we talking?\u201d asked Sonic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe most miniscule of portions for a mortal,\u201d answered Gaia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThen I think we have a plan,\u201d declared Optimus. \u201cMegatron, would you beam over?\u201d Megatron nodded to someone off-screen. He then appeared on the Ark<\/em>\u2019s bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou\u2019re really going with Mama Umbra\u2019s idea?\u201d muttered Gaia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe combination of light and darkness,\u201d replied Megatron, \u201cwill make Primacron understand that both are needed while he\u2019s in his final moments.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026Then here we go,\u201d sighed Lux. Optimus and Megatron faced each other and bent into a runner\u2019s beginning position. Lux fired light at Megatron, Umbra fired darkness at Optimus, and Gaia fired the elements at the two bots. As the Goddesses guided their hands together, Optimus and Megatron ran at one another. They were then enveloped in light. After it died down, a strange beast took their place. It looked like a classic western dragon, but the head was more wolf-like, it had black and white fur, and it had six legs. The creature examined itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026You built the Maximus into me?\u201d it asked in a male voice. The Goddesses nodded and the creature grinned. \u201cNice!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOptimus? \u2026Megatron?\u201d asked Thundercracker over the comms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019m both, yet neither,\u201d explained the creature. \u201cI am the newest of the Original Primes. I\u2026am Optronix Prime!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cCan you\u2026can you transform?\u201d asked Prowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOne moment.\u201d Optronix Prime checked his ability databanks. \u201c\u2026Yes, I can! Optronix Prime: TRANSFORM!\u201d Optronix\u2019 beast head and neck spilt in half and became claw arms as the torso unfolded into legs while the rearmost beast legs folded into the back along with the tail. The remaining beast legs became arms and the robot\u2019s head popped out, wearing a helmet that looked like it was blended with Megatron\u2019s and Optimus\u2019. He had two sets of optics, alternating between Autobot blue and Decepticon red.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026Um, whoops,\u201d gulped Gaia as she and her mothers looked embarrassed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt\u2019s fine,\u201d assured Optronix. \u201cI\u2019ll definitely need four optics. \u2026As well as the Three Powers. This blending of the Matrix and the Badge will give them a much-needed boost against Primacron. I\u2019ll be in the armory. Sonic, signal me when you\u2019re ready.\u201d Optronix then headed off the bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt\u2019s your turn now, Sonic,\u201d declared Umbra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cLet\u2019s do it to it!\u201d replied Sonic. The three Goddesses held up their hands and let light, darkness, fire, water, earth, and air flow over Sonic. As they moved, Sonic\u2019s quills grew until they reached his tail, then they floated in the air as his fur went from its familiar blue to cyan. His expression looked\u2026cold, for lack of a better word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBehold! Cosmic Sonic!\u201d proclaimed Lux. Cosmic Sonic just floated to the comms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOptronix, I\u2019m ready,\u201d he said in a voice unlike his usual attitude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSo am I! Let\u2019s do it!\u201d declared Optronix. Gaia simply snapped her fingers. Cosmic Sonic vanished and no one could hear Optronix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI have them on visual,\u201d called Cliffjumper. \u201cThey\u2019re on the lab\u2019s ring.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHere we go,\u201d muttered Prowl.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201cWhat\u2019s wrong?\u201d asked Starscream. \u201cStrange,\u201d muttered Primacron as he fiddled with the joystick. \u201cTornedron does not respond to my commands.\u201d Tornedron then moved. \u201c\u2026Why\u2019s he going to the War-world?\u201d asked Sunstorm. \u201cI gave no such command!\u201d \u201cSomething\u2019s amiss here,\u201d said Skywarp.
