Optimus and Megatron were still sitting in their battlefield, clutching their wounds. Megatron finally broke the silence. \u201cWhy DID you say \u2018Jolan tru\u2019 anyways?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt was all I could come up with in the heat of the moment,\u201d replied Optimus. Megatron nodded. Just then, he looked over Optimus\u2019 head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Odd portals there.\u201d Optimus turned as best he could to see two portals in the sky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026The Goddesses?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMaybe.\u201d The Ark<\/em>, Nemesis<\/em>, and Blue Typhoon<\/em> then left the portals. The portals closed behind them and Sonic, Amy, Tails, Shadow, Maria, Thundercracker, Knock-out, Ratchet, Goldbug, Treadshot, and Windblade shimmered into view thanks to teleporters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou two look like scrap!\u201d grunted Ratchet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe feel like it,\u201d chuckled Optimus. Ratchet turned to Knock-out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cArk<\/em>\u2019s Repair Bay or Nemesis<\/em>\u2019?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cArk<\/em>,\u201d replied Knock-out. Ratchet then activated his comms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cRatchet to Ark<\/em>. Beam me, Optimus, Megatron, and Knock-out directly to the Repair Bay.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAcknowledged,\u201d replied Cliffjumper\u2019s voice. The four then vanished in a teleport beam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The two medics stabilized their respective factions\u2019 leaders and got to work repairing them. \u201cSpark rate on Megatron?\u201d Knock-out asked Swoop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cClimbing back to normal,\u201d reported Swoop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEnergon levels on Optimus?\u201d asked Ratchet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cStill steady.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAll right then, let\u2019s wake them up.\u201d Ratchet then keyed in a command and Optimus and Megatron\u2019s optics flickered on. They groaned as they came out of stasis lock. \u201cHow are you feeling?\u201d asked Ratchet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026Bit of a processor-ache,\u201d replied Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSame,\u201d remarked Megatron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou boys are confined here until you\u2019re fully recovered,\u201d declared Ratchet. \u201cWe can\u2019t have you aggravating your wounds now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026Very well,\u201d answered Megatron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cRatchet, could Megatron and I have some time alone?\u201d asked Optimus. Ratchet looked to Megatron. The Decepticon Lord nodded, and Ratchet motioned for his fellow medics to leave. Once they were alone, Optimus looked to Megatron. \u201c\u2026You WERE right in a small capacity on that day,\u201d he muttered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026What day?\u201d asked Megatron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThat day on Mobius. The day you told me that you took command of the Decepticons. You mentioned that I ignored the Empties. I won\u2019t make that mistake again.\u201d Megatron allowed a small smirk on his face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat\u2019s this? A concession?\u201d His smirk then vanished. \u201cThat\u2019s a difficult admission to make. Primes before you would have been humiliated to say that. Other Primes preferred to die than to address the problems that plagued Cybertron. Primes LESSER than you would rather have burned Cybertron before giving a Decepticon any concession.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI understand what you were trying to do\u2026but I think the lesson could have been learned without the use of guns, bombs, warships-!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOptimus, if you can\u2019t keep that option open, perhaps you ought to go back to the estate you were raised on. How did Q put it? Ah, yes, \u2018It\u2019s not safe out there. It\u2019s wonderous with treasures to satiate desires both subtle and gross\u2026but it\u2019s NOT for the timid.\u2019 \u2026When\u2019s my trial?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026A week after we\u2019re cleared. Your charges are that you incited the Decepticons into war, you betrayed the Autobots, and you harmed alien worlds.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI abandoned the Autobots.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou still had bots among us that considered you a friend. Now they\u2019re baying for your blood. \u2026I\u2019m moving for a prison sentence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou won\u2019t be presiding over my trial?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019m not impartial in this instance. No, I\u2019m a witness.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWho\u2019s the judge, then?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026Someone from Dendron Beta, that\u2019s all I know. You DO have a defense attorney, and you\u2019re not under any obligation to say anything you think would implicate yourself or others-\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOptimus, hold on. I want to make sure I heard that right. An ALIEN is going to be presiding over my trial?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOur war went beyond Cybertron and her colonies. There\u2019s too much of the galaxy that hates us. They want some closure.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAnd you agreed to that?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt was the price I had to pay to get the Transformers a permanent seat on the Galactic Council and to pick my successor.\u201d Megatron arched an eyebrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSuccessor?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019m stepping down as the Galaxy Convoy. It\u2019s someone else\u2019s turn.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWho are you picking?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI was thinking\u2026Earthia. She runs things unofficially, why not make it official?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIn that case, I wish her luck.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The trial for Megatron was a rapid one. His defense attorney deliberated well, but, ultimately, the judge deemed him guilty and order Cybertron to keep him under house arrest until he was deemed well enough to rejoin society. During the trial, the Goddesses kept themselves abreast of Cybertron\u2019s bloody history. Vector Sigma spoke with Optimus once the trial ended. \u201cWhile his actions were deplorable,\u201d he remarked, \u201cMegatron set a series of events into motion, bringing your people\u2019s awareness of your origins to light much sooner than I calculated. Now, perhaps, when Cybertron\u2019s fully fixed up, it might be possible to melt down your weapons. But, for now, for RIGHT now\u2026there\u2019s a lot of angry people out there. Since they\u2019re aware of your attempts to patch things up with one another\u2026\u201d Optimus realized the implications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThey\u2019re after our heads,\u201d he guessed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou can bet on it.\u201d Optimus stood up and looked around the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026Maybe Megatron did the right thing for the wrong reasons.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHow so?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Perhaps what the Autobots most needed, what I<\/em> most needed\u2026was a kick in our arrogance. I thought that, once I became Prime, all the problems would be solved. \u2026But that\u2019s just ignoring the problem in the first place.\u201d The door chime then rang. \u201cCome in.\u201d Prowl poked his head into the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe\u2019re ready,\u201d he reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026Pax Galactica, here we come,\u201d declared Optimus. He and Vector Sigma then left the room and entered the Council Chambers. There were now new delegations from Cybertron, Mobius, and Voksphere. Optimus saw a pad sitting in front of his seat. It was the treaty awaiting his signature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cUnder the terms of this, the Pax Galactica,\u201d it read, \u201cwe, the people of Cybertron and all related colonies, hereby agree to make reparations to the worlds and people we have harmed during our war. In return, we will have our seat on the Galactic Council and help guide the galaxy to a brighter future.\u201d Optimus looked at it, then took up the stylus and signed his name. He then held up the pad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cLet this mark the end of the Cybertronian Wars,\u201d he proclaimed to the Council, \u201cas we march forward to a new age of peace and happiness! \u2018Til all are one!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2018Til all are one!\u201d chanted the Council. They then applauded for Optimus. Optimus then raised his hand for quiet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThere IS one thing I need to do first,\u201d he called, \u201cand that is to step down as the Galaxy Convoy. I only took up the mantle during the Primacron Battles. Now, it\u2019s time for me to pass the torch. Given that\u2019s been the unofficial head of the Council so far, I\u2019d say it\u2019s time to make it official. Earthia of Greengate, I hereby name you the new Galaxy Convoy!\u201d Earthia goggled at the proclamation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHold on a minute!\u201d she protested. \u201cThat\u2019s too much power, even for me!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou\u2019ve held that kind of power in an unofficial capacity,\u201d sang Basso Profundo. \u201cYou are the logical choice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBesides,\u201d continued Optimus, \u201cI need to focus on my people, and I can\u2019t do that as the Galaxy Convoy.\u201d Earthia looked around, hoping for some form of dissent. No one said anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026Very well, I accept. But I would like Ultra Magnus to continue his duties as the Enforcer of the Tyrest Accords.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI see no issue with that,\u201d replied Optimus. \u201cCongratulations, Earthia, the new Galaxy Convoy!\u201d Everyone clapped at that.
