"Crimson, Veritas is ready." Knock out said as he walked into the bridge." Should we run a test run?"

"I'll be there in a minute." I said with turning around." Sound wave, any word from megatron?"

"No." Sound wave said." We have yet to relieve word."

"Very well." I said heading towards the door." Inform me when he contacts to us."

"Affrimative." Sound wave said." Continuing planetary scan."

---akavearie lab---

"This job is boring." A scientist said as he monitored grimlock in his frozen state." I should've signed up for the miltary."

"Agreed." His partner said." But then again, It's a once and lifetime experience to examine a transformer."

"True." The first one said." It's been at least three days, and nothing happened...(crack)....You hear that?" The first scientist said as the sound of cracking was heard." It came for the beast."

"I think we woke it up." The second one said as more cracking was heard." WE NEED TO GET OUT NOW!!!!!" Just the Grimlock broke free." Don't move."

"I don't think is thing works like a normal T-Rex." First one said as he peeked over the desk." It looking right us."

"Oh.......Sh@t." The second said as Grim lock stared at them." Hi, I'm docter Ryen, and that's my partner, docter sans."
Grim lock just narrowed his eyes." So we found you frozen and......." Grimlock roared at them



"I don't think it's happy." Sans said as smoke started coming out of grimlocks mouth." What's it doing?" 

"It think it can breath firAAAAHHHH!!!!!" Before Ryan could finish a wave of fire Covered them, killing them instantly. Then grimlock Let another roar before smashing through the wall to escape.

---The ark---

"Optimus." Rachet said after the computer started beeping." An autobot signal just came online."

"Could it be Grimlock?" Wheeljack asked as the rest of the autobots ran in.

"I don't now for certain." Rachet said." Optimus, should I activate the ground bridge?"

"That would be best." Opitmus said walking in." Hound, with me."

"Animal control, got it." Hound said as the ground bridge opened." Let us now when Octavia wakes up."

"If she wakes up." Applejack said." She was just surprised that's all."

"Apple jack, where are we?' Octavia said coming up behind her." What happened?"

"This place is cool." Ella said." Mom your awake."

"Glad to your alright." Flint said hugging her." You fainted after bumblebee showed up."

"I remember." Octaivia said smiling." But why are we here?"

"Because Optimus said something about a possible Rampageing cybertronian T-Rex." Ella said quickly, as Octavia looked at her shocked." you missed a lot."

"I'll say." Octavia said." Any way, what happens if this things wakes up?"

"Alot of destruction." Rachet said worried." and I believe he's already woken up."

---Outside the lab---

"Bring it down." One of the Akavearie soilders said as Grimlock smashed thought their defenses." We can't let it escape."

"GET DOWN!!!!" another soilder said as Grimlock breathed fire at them, as some manged ot dodge it in time, most of them were killed."WE NEED BACK UP!!!"

"And here it comes." a commander said as a grey jet flew over head." Is that megatron?" he said as the jet flew back around." FULL RETRE(BOOM).." just before the commander could call the order, megatron began opening fire on them.

"I BRING DEATH FORM THE SKIES!!!!" Megatron yelled destroying everything he saw." Maybe this will get Optimus prime's attention."

---Prime--

"Looks like the fun started without us." Hound said as they stepped out of the portal." Looks like bee was right, it is grimlock."

"Indeed hound." Optimus said as he watched Grimlocks rampage." And so is Megatron.'

"And he appears to be....helping grimlock?" Hound said surprised." Who's  side is he on? the akavearie or what?"

"I do not know." Optimus said as his hand turned into a gun." But we need to get Grimlock out, destroy any akavearie who get in our way."

"Understood." Hound said as they ran towards the battle." Boom time." Hound said as he gunned down a jet." I LOVE BEING AN AUTOBOT!!!!"

"Keep an eye out for Megatron." Optimus said as the Akavearie started opening fire on them." Who knows what he'll try to pull."

"I hear ya." Hound said as he threw a gernade." But it won't help with these pest." 

"Agreed." Megatron voice said through their comlinks." I'll deal with them, You get the dinobot out."

"Why are you helping us?" Optimus said." Are your expecting something in return?"

"I want to end this war." megatron said transforming and leaning on a tank." And also I want your trust."

"Your going to have to do a lot more then kill some akavearie." Hound said Running up to Grimlock."Hey Grimlock, this way."

"I understand." Megatron said as he continued Destroying the Akavearia forces."Our leader wants to talks with you."

"Whos your leader?" Optimus asked as Megatron looked at him.

"Your about to meet him." Megatron said as he pointed up." He goes by the name Crimson Ghost."

"By the all spark." Optimus said as a red robot fell from the sky.



"Veritas online." The robot said before turning megatron." Had fun?"

"The fun will began now that your here." Megatron said smiling." Optimus meet my leader, Veritas , or Crimson Ghost, Leader of the Crimson Hand."

"Enough talk." Veritas said." Lets light some candles."

---Nights---

"Who's with me?" I said as I activated veritas weapons." Then will talk about ending the war."

"We're going to get along just fine." Hound said as he started opening fire." COME GETS SOME YA FREAKS!!!!"

"Will fight with me old friend?" Megatron asked.

"Yes, old friend." Optimus said as they both charged into the battle." DIE!!!!!"

"Activate Veritas sj1." I said as screen appeared on my HUD." Deploy missles." I said as missle were launched out of the back of my mech." Lets rock."

---Autobot base---

"Hows it going?" Wheeljack asked." Optimus call for back up?"

"I have not heard from him yet." Rachet said as he continued to watch the computer." I just hope...." A beeping once cut Rachet off." That must be him."

"Optimus to base." Optimus voice said from the screen." Luck is on our side today."

"How so?" 

"Megatron has come to our aid." Optimus said causing a few of the autobots to gasp." And he wishes to end our conflict."

"How do you know Megatron is telling the truth?" arcee said." He could be lying.'

"He's been clearing a path for us and Grimlock." Hound said."Hes also working under someone else called Crimson Ghost, he's here helping us as well."

"Are you sure he's with us?" Rachet said, but only to hear silence." Optimus?"

"Yes." Optimus said."open the ground bridge, and be ready for our guest."


--Battlefield--

"There's the groundbridge." Hound said as they ran towards the portal." Megatron, let's go."

"I'm right behind you." Megatron said running up." Will the dinobot fit?"

"It has to." I said running up." It cant stay here."

"Then grimlock, you first." Optimus said as he pointed Grimlock towards the portal." Then everyone fallow him."

"Understood." I said as Grimlock ran through the portal." He actually fit, wow."

"Let's move." Hound said as they transformed and moved towards the portal, and I just ran behind them." We got bogeys." Houdn said noticing akaveraie fighter jets." Hurry it up."

"Maximum overdrive." Optimus said as they sped up." Rachet close the bridge once we're through."

"Time for a boost." I said as I activated hover jets in veritas feet and sped forward and made it through the portal as it closed behind me." made it." i said turning sprung only to see the end of a blaster." Erm."

"Arcee lower your weapon." Optimus said as put my hand up in defense." This is megatrons leader, Crimson ghost."

"Don't try anything funny." Arcee said she said lowering her weapon." I'm watching you."

"Just don't make me angry." I said as the top of my mech opened up, as I stepped out wearing my dragon priest clothes and mask." Trust me."

"Your a human?" Wheeljack asked." How did you get a hold of this thing?" he asked pointing to my mech." Megs here build it for ya?"

"Yes, Megatron did indeed build it." I said suing my magic to make mowings appear so I could hover." But it was my design, and no, I'm not human."

"That what are you exactly?" Optimus said approaching me." Im curious."

"I'm nothing but a shadow of my former self." I lied." I used to be what you called an annierian."

"Did you know nights?" a family voice said from behind me." Or is it just a coincidence?"

When I turned around, I felt my heart drop."Octavia?." I thought to myself." No, I...I did not this nights fellow." I said stuttering." Who was he?"

"That reminds me." Wheeljack Sid with a smirk." Has nights been bringing the fight to the akavearie?"

Octavia looked away sadly." He....he died over fifteen years ago." She said as wheel jack smirk disappeared and was replaced with a sad look, along with the rest of autobots." He died...when the akavearie first invaded, just after we got out of collage."

"Nights is dead?" Optimus asked." So, the last of the anneirans are gone?"

"No." Octavia said wiping away some tears." If he didn't tell, we we're seeing each other, and well, he's a father." she siad pointing to Flint Locke and Ellaway.

"Our father was a great person?" Optimus said turning to them with a sad smile." Hs helped us many times before."

"Mom told us some of his adventures." Ella said looking up at Optimus." I wish I could've met him."

"Your father, Nights." I said getting their attention." Who was he exactly?"

"His name was Nights wingfeather." Octavia said." He was a king."

"Ah That nights." I said as Octavia looked at me confused." I'm sorry I did not reconize his name earlier, Nights is a common anneiran name, but Nights wingfeather, your loved one, sent me here not to long ago."

"He did?" Octavia said smiling." What did he say?"

"He told me to end the akavearie reign of terror." I said." And also he misses you, all of you."

"At least he hasn't forgotten about us." wheeljack said chuckling." Anyway, what did I hear about Megatron wanting to end OUR war?"

"You heard right?" Megatron said stepping forward." In order to liberate earth, we need to end our conflict, So I say that I no longer wnat to find, but become one, no more autobots and decpticons, no more energon spilt, let there be peace between us."

"I too want peace." Optimus said approaching Megatron." But how do I know you'll keep your word?"

"With this." Megatron said giveing him device." It's a map of all of my energon mines, it is yours."

"So after millions of years of fighting, It ends just like this." Arcee said." Is starscream around?"

"He is." Megatron said." but locked away for attempted assassination, he is yours to deal with."

"Megatron, we accept your offer." Optimus said." I'm glad to have you back."

"Likewise Optimus." Megatron said." As much as I would like to chat, me and crimson hear are needed at the ship, your welcome to join us."

"Mybe another time." Optimus said as he turned to Grimlock." We have someone we need to talk too."

"Very well." Megatron said." Will you be so kindly to open the ground bridge so me and crimson can return to the ship?"

"Of course."  Optimus said." Just tell Rachet the location of your ship."

"Octavia right?" I said flying over to Octavia." I'm very sorry for what happened to Nights."

"It's fine." Octavia said sniffling." I just wish he would come back, but I doubt that's possible."

"If I see him again, is there anything you want me to tell him?" I asked."I wish I could tell her."

"Tell him, I miss him, very much." she said as her eyes started getting watery." And that His kids would like to see him."

"I'll tell him." I said as the ground bridge opened." Until we meet again." I said as flew up to my mech and got back in." Let end this war apqukcly shall we?" I said as me and megatron walked back thought the portal.
