Glyph woke up in what looked like outer space, but she certainly felt a floor beneath her. She sat up and tested the floor. It seemed to extend in all directions. There was a bright light directly behind her. \u201c\u2026Scrap,\u201d she mumbled. \u201cWe failed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDid you?\u201d asked a motherly voice. It was then that Glyph noticed a noise like a hammer striking an anvil had been in her ears since she woke up. She turned her head to the noise. The source of the noise was a femme at a forge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Prime?\u201d asked Glyph as she picked herself up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhich one?\u201d quizzed the femme. Glyph arched an eyebrow at that question. \u2026Her optics widened when she started putting together the clues before her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Sweet Solus Prime!\u201d she gasped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019d hardly call myself sweet,\u201d chuckled the femme as she set her tools down, \u201cbut it\u2019s a nice sentiment. Nice to meet you, Glyph Stinger.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou can\u2019t be\u2026THE Solus Prime!\u201d said Glyph as she shook Solus\u2019 hand. \u201cI mean, you\u2019re the Prime that created the original Three Powers and she\u2019s\u2026\u201d A horrible thought struck Glyph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGunmetal gray?\u201d finished Solus Prime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Does that mean\u2026I\u2019m also\u2026\u201d Glyph wobbled and almost fell into the light behind her. Solus quickly grabbed her!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNope! Nononono! Don\u2019t wanna do that!\u201d she said. \u201cYou go into that light now, you really WILL be gunmetal gray!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2026I just\u2026I can\u2019t believe this! You\u2019re the greatest smith of all time!\u201d praised Glyph. Solus chuckled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI think Vector Sigma said it best once when he and the Matrix fully united. I am she who introduced creation, the very aspect Primacron forgot, to the Transformers. But being a smith works just fine.\u201d Glyph then looked around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhere are we?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis,\u201d explained Solus, \u201cis the Realm of the Primes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI thought only Primes could enter this place and ordinary bots like me-.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cUnder normal circumstances, you couldn\u2019t come here. But these AREN\u2019T normal circumstances. For the entire multiverse, even.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026I\u2026I don\u2019t\u2026have the strength to fix the multiverse.\u201d Solus arched an eyebrow and looked at Glyph. \u201cWhen I leapt onto Nemesis Prime, all I could think about was avenging Uncle Optimus.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHey, I can relate,\u201d soothed Solus. \u201cI wanted to avenge the murder of my brothers. But unlike you, I attacked the wrong bot. Dragged Megatronus into darkness for no reason and didn\u2019t learn of Liege Maximo\u2019s deception until it was too late.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDoes that make us as bad as Nemesis?\u201d asked Glyph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat?!\u201d laughed Solus. \u201cYou been hitting Alchemist Prime\u2019s Engex?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, Nemesis wanted to make a kingdom for himself! We\u2019re trying to save the multiverse and keep it as it is! Is\u2026Isn\u2019t that the same thing?! Don\u2019t these feelings come from the same place?! Don\u2019t-?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou assume that Nemesis Prime\u2019s goal comes from a genuine place,\u201d said Solus. \u201cBut that pale imitation of Optimus and Tails can\u2019t see that his desires ultimately will bring about a hell-scape he never conceived of. Because of that blindness, he fears what he can\u2019t control, much like he feared Unicron.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026And now that\u2026that same fear\u2019s gonna\u2026gonna win\u2026\u201d Glyph was gasping. A vision of Nemesis Prime then appeared in the sky above them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFirst Optimus dies!\u201d he cackled. \u201cThen you bots get separated! Now YOU die! It\u2019s a pity the Transformers of your universe die so easily or I might have a sense of satisfaction!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAh, scrap!\u201d swore Solus. \u201cI thought there was more time to ease you in. But Nemesis will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. \u2026You ready to stop him?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat?!\u201d asked Glyph. \u201cWhat can\u2026can I do?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, you were brought here for a reason,\u201d replied Solus. \u201cSo, what say we reveal that reason to you, hm?\u201d Thirteen lights of various colors flashed behind Solus and turned into Transformers. Glyph goggled when she recognized all the shapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026The Thirteen!\u201d she said. She then looked at the one that stood out. \u201c\u2026Uncle Optimus?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHey, Green Bee,\u201d chuckled Optimus as he strode up to her and hugged her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Optimus, are you sure\u2026I\u2019m worthy?!\u201d asked Glyph as tears rolled down her face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, you needed some initial polishing,\u201d replied Optimus, \u201cbut I can safely say you will be a worthy successor to me. But I don\u2019t have the power to make you a Prime and the Thirteen can\u2019t give you that power unless you accept it. So, what will your choice be, Glyph Stinger?\u201d Glyph thought for a moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026I can\u2019t exactly continue a Prime\u2019s goals of peace if I\u2019m dead,\u201d she said. \u201c\u2026I accept!\u201d Optimus smiled, then turned to the Primes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cShe\u2019s all yours, my Primes,\u201d he said. Prima then stood forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLike Optimus Prime before you,\u201d he said, \u201cyou will stop a great evil! You are worthy to ascend to Primehood!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s the matter?!\u201d taunted Nemesis as Glyph gasped. \u201cCan\u2019t laugh at me again?!\u201d Nemesis started laughing himself. Glyph then found new strength and grabbed the Matrix! The instant her fingers wrapped around the handles, the crystal inside the Matrix shone bright enough to blind Nemesis and force him to let go of Glyph\u2019s neck. Glyph then kicked Nemesis off, breaking the chain around the Matrix, stood up, and held the Matrix above her head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cARISE, SOLARA PRIME!\u201d came fourteen voices. Everyone heard them and gasped as Glyph began changing! She grew for a start, then her alt-mod kibble became more angular until it resembled a long, futuristic sedan! Her helmet gained antennae as her fingers became pointed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Optimus\u2026\u201d whispered the new Solara Prime as she held the Matrix. She then opened her chest and placed the Matrix inside her, then closed her chest and stood defiantly in front of Nemesis Prime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026It won\u2019t matter, kid!\u201d laughed Nemesis. \u201cYour Primehood will be short!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo,\u201d replied Solara. \u201cThis is the beginning of my Primehood. But as for YOU, this is the end of the road, Nemesis Prime!\u201d Solara then activated spikes on her knuckles that sparked with electricity and scored a blow directly into Nemesis\u2019 chest, frying the suit AND the pilot. Nemesis was thrown to the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGET HER!\u201d he shouted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDad, hammer!\u201d Solara called to Goldbug.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRight!\u201d Goldbug tossed the Magnus Hammer to Solara. Solara keyed in a button code on the handle and it compressed into the Forge of Solus Prime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere\u2019s no Creation Lathe here!\u201d laughed Nemesis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDon\u2019t need it for what I\u2019ve got in mind!\u201d replied Solara. She then swung the hammer into Nemesis\u2019 chest and a sand timer appeared briefly before it vanished. The remaining Terrorcons then swarmed Solara. Solara fought with the usual tactics of Batman, going for knockout blows, then hammering them in the chest. The sand timer appeared whenever she struck, then vanished. Solara was then beginning to tire out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPRIME!\u201d called Megatron as Straxus raised his cudgel to bring down into Solara\u2019s head. He fired a blast from his fusion cannon. The shot obliterated Straxus\u2019 head and the rest of his body fell, fading to gunmetal gray. Nemesis\u2019 optics went wide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026No!\u201d he pleaded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYes! You\u2019re mortal again!\u201d confirmed Solara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNO QUARTER!\u201d Galvatron ordered his Decepticons. The Autobots joined in. Deceptitran, he was shot by Goldbug. Makeshift, he fell to Sky Runner\u2019s sword. Sideways was incinerated by Hot Rod. Shockwave punched straight through Rodimus Unicronus\u2019 chest, tearing his Spark Chamber and Spark out and killing him. Blackarachnia stuck her fingers into Crystal Widow\u2019s neck and injected a fatal dose of her cyber-venom. Crystal Widow reached out to Nemesis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cN\u2026Nemmy!\u201d she gasped. Nemesis, too scared to fight, transformed and sped off! That feeling of betrayal was the last feeling Crystal Widow had.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAFTER HIM!\u201d called Solara. \u201cLET\u2019S REV AND ROLL!\u201d The Transformers cheered as everyone transformed, allowing Mobian passengers into their vehicle modes, and sped after Nemesis!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
