The Legendary Knights of Friendship

by Shadow Master


Chapter 14: The Unforgotten Soul

Team B; consisted of five Decepticons, three Autobots, three adults, four teenagers, four young children, two pets and two Minicons; were scouring across Cybertronian Hallways of thousand rooms. They were all searching for Optimus Prime while keeping eye out on their enemies and defeating some of Infernocon Guards.

Sideswipe, Barricade, Nitro Zeus, Mikaela and Tessa were on the rear. Cyclonus, Soundwave, Arcee, Cade and Sam were on the front. Megatron, Bumblebee and Flare Tiger were in the middle formation, as they were looking after Lance Justicestrike, Cutie Mark Crusaders, Wheelie, Brains, Dragoking and Spike. They kept each other close and be readied for anything. They have no idea what they would be expecting especially if its from Cybertronian Creator - Fallax Vulpe.

Cyclonus snarled, "Damn it. No sign of Creator and his chamber. Only guards we have to deal with. Be glad that we don't need to face Infernocus."

Barricade hissed, "Tell me something I don't want to know. I hate to face those things again."

"Soundwave, are we close to his position?" Megatron demanded dryly. Soundwave shook his head. He snarled dryly, "Where could he be?! We shouldn't be far away!" He turned and glared at Nitro Zeus, "Nitro Zeus, you fool! Didn't you and your squad find out anything or information about this place and the Creator?!"

Nitro Zeus yelped in fear, "Wow, easy there, boss! You ordered us to guard the hanger until your arrival! And believe in me or not, it's not an easy job!"

"Are you questioning authority, Nitro Zeus?!"

"Eek! Didn't mean to make ya mad, boss! Really! Just doing my job!"

Megatron snarled as he grabbed and held Nitro Zeus up by neck, "And you did a lousy job, fool! Tread the words carefully. I'm not a very merciful now..."

"Easy there, partner!" Bumblebee held and stopped Megatron while radioed, "We need every soldier to fight! (ZAP!) Trust me, bob! This will be your biggest mistake!"

Megatron snarled while snapped Bumblebee's grip out, "I do not recall of your suggestion, fool! So hands off, scout!"

"Watch it!" Bumblebee snarled, "You might pick a wrong fight."

Megatron chuckled amusingly, "We shall see. I would like to see you try."

Megatron and Bumblebee snarled as they were about to fight while their allies pleaded and begged them not to fight.

"Stop it!" Nyx shouted firmly. Everyone stopped as they turned and looked at her. She sighed while showing angry looks, "I know both sides aren't getting along well, but right now, we have a mission to complete! Optimus needs us now! The world needs us now! So, put your differences aside now!"

Everyone was in shock and surprised by Nyx's speech. They'd never expect her to talk back especially when facing and talking back to Megatron.

"Did not see that coming," Arcee commented in shock.

"That's something we don't see everyday especially stood up to evil Decepticon," Shane said in shock, "And she nailed it."

"I like that girl," Mikaela commented, "Reminds of myself."

Tessa smiled and nodded, "Yeah. She really got some moves."

Cade nodded, "Yeah. Who knew a little girl like her, used to have PTDS about robots, is now facing them head on?"

"No shit..." Sam nodded in agreement.

Megatron snarled and glared at Nyx narrowly. Both Autobots and their allies armed and readied their guns and weapons if he dare to attack her. Instead, he chuckled and laughed amusingly.

"Very well," Megatron said firmly and calmly while narrowing his angry eyes at Nyx, "However, I must warn you, little one. The next time you tried to talk back at me, I won't be merciful. Understand?"

"Dully noted," Nyx said dryly. Megatron scoffed as everyone resumed their march. While sticking close to her friends, she sighed in relief, "I'd never want to do that again."

"But that was awesome!" Scootaloo cheered.

Sweetie Belle nodded, "Yeah, you stood up to Megatron! Nobody could do that!"

"You surprise us even more!" Apple Bloom commented happily, "You really stood up for us!"

"Yeah, thanks." Nyx nodded in agreement. She then found Flare Tiger and Lance Justicestrike glaring at her. She sighed, "I know. I know. It's risky of me to do that. Sorry."

Lance Justicestrike nodded firmly, "Please, don't do that again. Megatron is someone you don't want to mess with."

"Yeah. You gave us a heart attack," Flare Tiger said in agreement.

"I promised that I won't do it again," Nyx said firmly. She hummed in concern, "You'd think we can find and get Optimus Prime in time?"

Bumblebee radioed, "Only time can tell."

Sideswipe nodded firmly, "Don't worry, kiddo. We'll find and get him out. That's the promise."

Dragoking nuzzled Nyx's face, "Don't lose faith."

Spike nodded in agreement, "Yeah. We haven't lost yet. Optimus Prime is fighting back. He won't give up easily. He's the hero."

"Whatever the Creators want with him," Wheelie said in concern, "Hopefully, he doesn't turn on us. And trust me, I hate to fight him."

Brains nodded in agreement, "Yeah. I don't wanna leaked lubricant on my pants."

"Brains, you don't have pants."

"Oh! Right. I forgot!"


At his private chamber, Fallax Vulpe was sitting down on his throne chair. He was watching the holographic screen of Worldwide Battlefield between him and his alliance against their enemies. He chuckled amusingly as he saw some of them got killed by exploding grenades or squashed by the buildings. He enjoyed seeing his enemies being tortured.

Optimus or Nemesis Prime was squatting and kneeing down without moving his muscles like he has lost his soul. Sunder arrived before his master's seat.

"Master. They're coming," Sunder reported.

"Good..." Fallax Vulpe said amusingly as he slowly turned his chair to both Sunder and Nemesis Prime. He looked at the lifeless Prime, "It is time, Nemesis Prime. Prepare the Infernocons and Infenocuses. It's time to destroy those resistance for good."

Responded to his master's call, Nemesis Prime stood up firmly while armed with his sword and shield. He growled and groaned softly while narrowing his purplish eyes.

"As you command, my master..."

Across the Worldwide, the United Alliance of Good and Evil continued their raging battle against the Ultimate Army and the controlled Twelve Cybertronian Knights. Though they did their best; more reinforcement, from both conquered countries and Fortress of Deity's Wrath', have arrived and assisted the enemies. Not only the Ultimate Army has gained more numbers of soldiers and arsenals, but also have some help from Infernocons and Infernocuses.

With troops and arsenals have been replenished, the Ultimate Army charged and poured their attacks on the United Alliance of Good and Evil. Despite being outnumbered and outmatched especially the soldiers began toppling down and killed, the United Alliance fought back against the Ultimate Army as they have to hold the enemies off.

The United Alliance of Good and Evil struggled fighting back against Ultimate Army. Suddenly, a surprisingly reinforcement and resistance army from different conquered countries have arrived and joined the battlefield, ever since they have witnessed and heard rumors that the Alliance are fighting back. They decided to fight and take back their homeland from their common enemies.

Some of Ultimate Army have turncoat on their allies due to receiving secret messages from both Silverclaw and Soki the Black Oni, whom they have served their leaders faithfully and loyally than Nezha Vengito and his inner circle.

The United Alliance of Good and Evil have turned the tide on the Ultimate Army. Their fight has been lasts for nearly three and an half hours. And hopefully, they all can hold the enemies much longer now until the mission accomplished...


Autobots-Decepticons Team have entered the mysterious yet unknown chamber; which was filled with throne chair, shelves of head trophies, Cybertronian Data Banks and more. While putting their guards up against the upcoming enemies, they all looked closely and carefully at this place. They can't help but feel like they have entered the area they've been looking for.

"What is this place?" Nyx asked in concern.

After looking at the place carefully, Flare Tiger hummed calmly, "Throne Chamber. We're at the Creator's Private Chamber..."

"So, you'd think this is the place?" Shane asked in confuse and concern.

Sam hummed thoughtfully, "It has to! It's gotta be! But where's Optimus?"

"And more importantly," Cade said dryly while narrowing his eyes in anger, "Where the hell is the Creator?"

Megatron snarled softly while armed with his Axe-Sword, "No doubt that coward is hiding, especially he has some uses of Optimus Prime." He turned and looked at Soundwave, "Soundwave, seek and connect to his network data bank. Find out of what he's planning."

Soundwave nodded, "As you command, Lord Megatron."

Soundwave transformed into his Jet-like Satellite Mode as he flew off high. He began his search for the network data bank to connect and find out of his enemies' plans. Megatron and the rest of his allies remained behind in search of any clues to find the Creator and Optimus Prime. However, they found nothing so far.

"Damn it..." Lance Justicestrike cursed in concern, "Nothing! Not a clue to find Optimus or the Creator! It's hopeless!"

"No..." Bumblebee radioed in concern, "It can't be."

"So, we come here for nothing?" Sam asked in shock.

Cade hissed in anger, "Damn it!"

Wheelie hissed in concern, "I'm with the blond kid. If the Creator and Optimus Prime were here, I'd say they would have ambushed me by now than waiting like chicken."

Brains nodded in agreement, "Yeah. And I'd say we arrived at the wrong place!"

"Be careful of what you say," Flare Tiger warned firmly and dryly, "It might come true."

"How right you are..."

Everyone yelped in shock and concern of hearing the voice. They all armed and readied their weapons and blasters. They quickly formed a perimeter for both offense and defense against the enemies. Cutie Mark Crusaders and their friends were on the middle while both Autobots and Decepticons formed a circle formation. And so far, no sign of the enemies...

As the team were still looking out for the enemies, Spike found something off with the chamber. He took a strange scent as he was picking it up. Upon locating it, Spike growled and snarled angrily. But the dog isn't the only one that can detect the smell, Dragoking did the same thing as well.

"You smell it?" Dragoking asked dryly.

Spike snarled, "Yeah! We have to alert them now!"

Both Spike and Dragoking made a loud yet wild angry barking and screeching. Everyone turned and glared at them as they got annoyed and irritated by their animal noise.

"Spike! Dragoking! Stop making noise!" Lance Justicestrike exclaimed in annoyance, "This is not the time to play games now!"

Shane nodded in concern, "Yeah! We're trying to find and kick those bucketheads' asses!"

"And we need to find and get Optimus too!" Sam reminded firmly.

"Wait a minute!" Nyx said in realization as she turned and looked at Spike, "What did you smell, boy? Is something coming here?!"

Spike nodded while snarling, "He's coming!"

"Get ready to fight!" Dragoking ordered.

As everyone was ready to fight, both Dragoking and Spike continued sniffing and seeking out of the enemies' locations from different directions. As they were picking up the scent, they both looked on their right direction as they both growled angrily. They both barked and screeched wildly and loudly. This alerted the rest to turn and follow their direction.

Both Autobots and Decepticons armed with their bladed weapons in defenses while the rest of their allies hid behind them. They all heard the stomping feet like something or someone is charging at them now. They all readied to embrace the impact for 5 seconds.

5... 4... 3... 2... 1...

BANG! Their enemy have made a powerful ram in knocking Autobots-Decepticons and their allies off from standing ground. They all dropped and fell to the ground hard. As they all recovered from the attacks, they looked up to face their enemy. However, it was not someone they have been expected or even thought they have to deal with. They all were facing...

"Optimus Prime?!"

Optimus Prime stood firmly while armed both his Star Saber and Prime Shield in attack position. His eyes continued glowed in dark purple. They were in deep shock. They all couldn't believe that they were now facing their own ally.

Optimus Prime narrowed his purplish angry eyes, "Those who stand in my way shall perish..."

Everyone gasped in shock and confuse of Optimus Prime's words. They all have hard time to believe that he is the enemy now. What made him do this?! Why?!

"No... This can't be..." Apple Bloom said in shock.

"It's impossible," Scootaloo said in concern, "He's the enemy?!"

Sweetie Belle shivered in fear and worry, "H-How could he do this to us?"

Nyx was heartbroken and sad, "Optimus... Why?"

"Optimus," Sam asked in concern, "What are you doing?!"

"Did you lose your head or something," Bumblebee radioed in concern, "This isn't you, sir! (ZAP!) You're not yourself!"

Cade nodded in agreement, "What happen to you? What the hell did the Creators do to you?!"

"I did what I have to restore my creation to its true self," Mysterious Voice exclaimed calmly and darkly through speakers, which surprised and scared everyone off. He chuckled softly, "Welcome, fools. I've been expecting you all to arrive and be destroyed by your own friend."

"Who the hell are you?! Where are you?!" Sam demanded in anger.

"I am Fallax Vulpe..." Fallax Vulpe's voice answered calmly in speaker, "I am one of the Creators. And you fools have infected our prized creation! We don't accept alien infested to our machines!"

"Son of the bitch!" Arcee cursed angrily.

Sideswipe groaned in anger, "You brainwashed him! Damn you!"

"Prized creation?! You mean Optimus Prime?!" Nyx asked angrily. She groaned, "You can't talk to him like that! He's not a machine! He's a sentient being with heart and soul!"

Cutie Mark Crusaders nodded, "Yeah! He's our friend!"

"Fools. There is no such thing called 'friends'. Its concept brought nothing but deception, pain and betrayal by most of the Humans," Fallax Vulpe said darkly through speaker, "And therefore, I freed Nemesis Prime from this misleading concepts. And now, he will fulfill his true duty. All of you will be destroyed!"

"No!" Nyx exclaimed in disagreement, "He would never do it!"

Fallax Vulpe chuckled amusingly, "Watch, little girl. Nemesis Prime, order the attack!"

His eyes glowed darkly, Optimus Prime cried wildly, "Infernocons! Attack!"

Heed the order, Infernocons roared and screeched wildly and loudly as they all emerged out from the shadows, secret entrance from walls and ceilings, gates and windows. The army of demonic warriors armed with their lethal traditional weapons as all charged at their enemies. Optimus Prime or Nemesis Prime stood firmly while awaiting for orders from Fallax Vulpe.

Autobots-Decepticons and their allies caught unprepared for the surprise. Nitro Zeus and Cyclonus moved to the front as they unleashed their powerful attacks. Nitro Zeus fired the Missile Barrage in destroying the first and second wave while Cyclonus unleashed the Dark Hellfire Slash for holding the rest off.

Nitro Zeus chuckled as he continued firing his Missile Barrage, "Come on, punk-asses! I've got more where they come from! Welcome to Zeus's Hell!"

"My fire attack will not hold them much longer," Cyclonus said firmly and dryly as he turned and looked at Megatron, "We must make haste now. What are your orders?"

"Huston, we've got problem," Bumblebee radioed.

Mikaela nodded, "Yeah. We need to get Optimus Prime back to us!"

"How?!" Tessa asked in concern, "How do we do that?!"

"It's quite simple, fools..." Megatron said calmly and firmly as he armed his Fusion Canon, aiming at Optimus Prime, "Why should I wait when I have the chance to finish him off?"

Everyone but the Decepticons gasped in shock and concern of what Megatron was planning to do for Optimus Prime. They don't really like it!

And just before Megatron could fire, Bumblebee nudged him off. The Decepticon Lord roared in anger as he held the Autobot Scout up. Autobots and their allies armed and aimed the guns at Megatron while his Decepticons aimed theirs at them. Cutie Mark Crusaders, Lance Justicestrike and four little friends were in middle of crossfire.

"Back off, Autobots and Humans!" Barricade exclaimed in anger, "Megatron knows what is best for all of us, even if it means we have to make sacrifice!"

"What sacrifice?! Kill Optimus Prime?!" Arcee demanded in anger.

Sideswipe scoffed in anger, "Not gonna happen, Barricade! Not while we're still standing!"

"You're fools to believe that we could save him when it is too late!" Cyclonus exclaimed in anger.

Nitro Zeus nodded in agreement, "I'm with Big C! He's gone for good. Goodbye Optimus Prime, say hello to Nemesis Prime!"

Bumblebee groaned and radioed, "I'm not giving up on him!"

"What makes you think there is Optimus in him," Megatron demanded dryly and darkly, "Whatever the Creators did to him, he is gone!"

"No! We have to try!" Sam protested.

Cade nodded, "Optimus Prime has saved us countless times. We're not giving on him!"

"Me neither!" Tessa, Mikaela and Shane exclaimed in agreement.

Megatron snarled in anger, "Then, so be it. Die with him together!"

Everyone have a big argument among themselves about what they can do to save or kill Optimus Prime. This argument is pressuring and scaring Nyx a lot. She can't take it anymore because her friend and idol needs her now. She can't abandoned him now!

"Will you all just shut the hell up?!" Nyx screamed in anger. Everyone stopped and looked at her. She panted heavily, "Whatever the Creator did to Optimus Prime, we can undo it! We need to find him. And force him to free our friend!"

"Even if we do find him, did you really think he would easily agree to us?" Megatron asked dryly.

Bumblebee radioed, "He's got the point. (ZAP!) I cannot believe I've just said that..."

"Me either, Bee," Sam said in shock, "There's no telling if the Creator is willing to fix Optimus."

"I don't care of whether the Creator is willing to help or not," Nyx said firmly. She then turned and looked at Optimus Prime. She sighed, "But Optimus needs us. And I'm not gonna leave him like this. He's my hero."

"He is to us too, Nyx," Apple Bloom said firmly.

Sweetie Belle nodded, "We're gonna do our best to help you out."

"Yeah," Scootaloo cheered, "Cutie Mark Crusaders stick together till the end."

Nyx smiled in relief as she turned and glared at all of her friends, "Either you're with us or stay out of the way. We'll gonna save Optimus Prime."

"Going against the Creator?! Are you crazy?!" Lance Justicestrike demanded in anger and concern. Nyx nodded firmly and angrily. He hissed in concern before sighed, "If you're going, then I'm going too."

Flare Tiger held the children's shoulders, "Hold it! I can't let you all go by yourself. I promised to your sisters to look after you all."

"So are we!" Spike, Dragoking, Wheelie and Brains exclaimed in agreement.

"You're all crazy..." Megatron commented in annoyance. He then chuckled, "You all surprise me even more. Very well. I won't kill him. But I do want the rematch with him till I win the duel." He then looked at the Cutie Mark Crusaders, "Once Soundwave established his connection to the network, he will guide and lead to him. Understand?"

Nyx nodded firmly yet relieved, "Understood and thank you!"

Bumblebee sighed, "We'll gonna stall him as long as we can. (ZAP!) The rest of you (ZAP!) You know what to do! Get in there and kill them all!"

Arcee and Sideswipe nodded in understanding. Megatron turned and looked at his Decepticons in gestured to join the group. Cade and Sam approached Tessa, Shane and Mikaela. They gave their loved ones a firm and strong looks, which make them nodded firmly.

With the decision has been made, the team split into two groups. Megatron, Bumblebee, Barricade, Sam and Cade remained behind to hold Optimus Prime and Infernocons down. The rest of their team went off to search and hunt Fallax Vulpe down.

Megatron's team all armed and readied their bladed weapons and blasters. The fire slowly died down as the army of Infernocons were ready excitingly and wildly to attack them.

"Do not wish to join them, Barricade?" Megatron asked.

Barricade shook his head, "No sir. I'm not leaving you defenseless again. I will not fail you."

"Do as you wish," Megatron said firmly and calmly. He turned and looked at his nemeses, "Are you prepared to face him now?"

"Optimus (ZAP!) Must be stopped! No matter the cost," Bumblebee radioed with Optimus Prime's voice. He turned and looked at Sam and Cade, "Ready to rock the world?!"

"Yeah, we are," Sam and Cade nodded in agreement.

"Attack!" Megatron ordered firmly.

Megatron's team gave a loud battle cry as they all charged to the battlefield, and so did the Infernocons Army. Both Sam and Cade climbed up the Cybertronian Pillars till the top platforms as they all fired and sniped their sniping blasters at them one-by-one. Using their axe-sword, hammer and nunchucks; Megatron, Bumblebee and Barricade determinedly and fiercely engaged and killed the enemy soldiers while charging straight at Optimus Prime.

Optimus Prime's eyes flickered in glowing purple colored lights while he remained readying his Star Saber and Prime Shield.


Soundwave was flying in midair as he was searching for the network data bank, but so far, he only saw connected wires to each other and computer system. After minutes have passed, he came across to a giant box-like data bank device. The robotic satellite jet-like approached and closed to it. He then has his tentacles emerged out as they all attached to the machine. He is now connected to Creator's network data bank system.

"Connection is complete," Soundwave said firmly as his eyes has more numbers in him like he was part of the data, "Begin seeking and collecting data information now, as well as assisting allies now. Rumble, Frenzy, Ravage, Lazerbeak; Eject! Operation: Defense Position!"

Soundwave began seeking, collecting and downloading the information while assisting his allies out.


Cutie Mark Crusaders and their allies were searching for the Creator Fallax Vulpe to stop him and force him to restore Optimus Prime to his true self. Arcee, Sideswipe, Cyclonus and Nitro Zeus were taking the lead while the rest of them were behind of them. They all continued battling and engaging with the Infernocons one-by-one.

"Damn it! Where the hell is that coward?!" Nitro Zeus demanded in anger, "I'm getting itch for fighting!"

Sideswipe snarled, "Keep finding! He has to be here somewhere!"

Suddenly, both Wheelie and Brains stopped at once. Everyone quickly halted as well. They all turned and looked at them. The duo were picking up the signal from their scanners.

"Uh-oh..." Wheelie said in concern.

Brains hissed, "We've got company! Big one!"

"I hate to ask," Arcee said in concern, "How big are we dealing with?"

Upon looking at the front, Cyclonus gasped in shock while armed with his sword, "Lots of big guys! Infernocus Incoming! Multiple contacts!"

The team quickly armed themselves with their weapons in ready to engage their enemies. They all now facing a group of colossal Infernocuses. The demonically combiners looked demonically and powerful, sending the chills to them.

Shane yelped in fear, "Yikes! Not them again!"

"Wow... Those guys are big and mean machines," Scootaloo remarked in concern.

Sweetie Belle hissed in concern, "Not too mention, they scary like monsters from Akumrmashi Army! They gave me scary nightmares!"

"Yeah. I haven't gotten over it," Apple Bloom said in concern.

"We don't have time to deal with these guys," Nyx said in concern, "Optimus needs us now!"

"He will!" Arcee said firmly. She turned and looked at her human allies, "You all have to go and hunt the Creator down! The rest of us will hold those tough guys!"

Everyone looked in shock while Autobots-Decepticons remained calm and confident about dealing with the army of Infernocuses.

Lance Justicestrike looked concern and worry, "Are you kidding me?! You can't take them all by yourself!"

Tessa nodded in agreement, "Yeah! And not to mention, they're bigger and stronger than you all!"

"We won't leave you behind!" Mikaela exclaimed in concern, "You need all the help you need!"

"Maybe," Arcee said calmly, "But you all have more important mission. Find Fallax Vulpe! That asshole is the only Cybertronian that can restore Optimus Prime!"

Sideswipe groaned in concern, "Hate to admit it! She's right. We'll hold them off as long we can."

"Yeah! Plus, I get something big to shoot," Nitro Zeus said amusingly. He laughed happily, "What fits for them is none other than the Infernocuses themselves! I loved blowing big stuffs up!"

Cyclonus sighed, "I hate to admit it. This plan is the only way out."

Cutie Mark Crusaders and others weren't convince by their friends of handling the Infernocuses, Flare Tiger was the only mutant to understand it.

"Alright, we'll do your way," Flare Tiger said calmly. Her friends gasped in shock and concern while looked at her. She turned and looked at them, "We don't have much time. We have to find and get the Creator now! We can't waste this chance now!"

Though her friends weren't convinced and unsatisfied of the idea in leaving their allies behind, they reluctantly nodded and agreed with Flare Tiger. This made two Autobots relief to hear and see them agreed to the plans.

"Good. Get ready to fight," Arcee said firmly as she and her team turned and faced against the army of Infernocuses. She armed her twin blasters, "Make it count, everyone!"

Sideswipe groaned as he armed his blades, "Not as powerful and big as Devastator, but these guys are still strong and dangerous! Watch yourself!"

Nitro Zeus chuckled as he cracked his knuckles, "This is gonna be fun!"

"Let's hope we make the right one," Cyclonus hissed uneasily, "Coz I hate losing the odds!"

"Now attack!" Arcee ordered firmly.

Arcee, Sideswipe, Cyclonus and Nitro Zeus transformed into vehicular modes. They all charged at the Infernocus Army, making the giant Combiners to attack and engaged them. While the monstrous and demonic Combiners were distracted, Flare Tiger and her remaining team took the chance and escaped the battlefield now. The team were all heading and finding Fallax Vulpe now.

However, unknown to the Arcee and her team, Sunder was hiding behind the shadows, watching their battles while waiting and making his move on them. He even chuckled evilly and amusingly.

"This should be entertaining... More collection to add..."


Megatron, Bumblebee and Barricade managed to take down the Infernocons once-by-one; with the help of Cade and Sam sniping them by heads, limbs and chests. While continued battling the minions, they come across Optimus Prime, who raised and slammed his Star Saber on them. Both Megatron and Bumblebee held their sword and hammer in blocking the attack off, Barricade jumped and kicked Optimus Prime off.

Bumblebee radioed in concern, "Sir! (ZAP!) Snap out of it!"

"Those who stand in my master's way shall be destroyed," Optimus Prime exclaimed firmly, "I shall not stop till all of our enemies has fallen!"

"Then, so be it! It's time we settle our scores. Once and for all!" Megatron snarled and roared wildly as he activated battle mask in covering his mouth, "One Shall Stand, One Shall Fall! You shall be the first to fall!"

Optimus Prime narrowed his eyes in anger, "You will not defeat me at ease, Megatron! Prepare to die!"

"So shall you, my brother," Megatron snarled in anger.

Optimus Prime and Megatron roared wildly as they both charged right at each other. They both have their blades crossed briefly. As they departed, they both began swinging and clashing their swords on each other for few times. They both have the clash briefly. Megatron quickly punched Optimus Prime's face before kicked him off. The Autobot Leader held his legs in holding grounds before firing his Prime Shield Blaster at Decepticon Leader, who quickly blocked the blasts and fired his Fusion Canon back.

Blocking the blasts off, Optimus Prime charged and rammed his shield hard against Megatron. The Decepticon Leader held on the ground before pushed off and slashed his sword at Autobot Leader. Optimus Prime growled in anger as he thrust and struck his Star Saber at Megatron's left shoulder, making the latter screamed in pain yet anger before headbutt and kicked the former off. Both of them then began swinging and striking at each other while blocking and fending the attacks off hard and swift.

Optimus Prime and Megatron both have a big clash again for the moment. They both have quickly land a hard punches on each other's, forcing to drop their weapons. Nevertheless, they both continued punching and kicking each other for few rounds.

While Optimus Prime and Megatron continued battling each other, Bumblebee and Barricade were engaging the Infernocons to cover their allies up. And not only they have to deal with the minion troops, they also have to fight with some combiners - Infernocuses. The combiners were too big and strong for them to fight. But luckily, Cade and Sam were there to assist their friend by sniping on the Infernocuses' heads. This gave both scouts knocked and tripped the giants falling down while dealing with the minions as well.


Flare Tiger and her team were searching for the Creator. Upon arriving and entering the lab, they all yelped in concern. They found more mini-sized masked Cybertronian Mercenaries and Spheres, who looked like Lockdown's. They all armed and fired their blasters at the team. Luckily, Flare Tiger activated her Time-Space Magic in reversing the time backwards minutes ago before entering the lab. This allowed them to stop immediately before they could enter the lab.

"We know you're in there, Fallax Vulpe! Come out and fight, coward!" Flare Tiger called out.

Lance Justicestrike scoffed, "Unless you're too chicken and coward to fight us!"

Cutie Mark Crusaders, Two Minicons and Two Pet laughed while imitated chicken dance, "Yeah! Big Fat chickens! Falla Vulpe is a big fat chickens to come and fight!"

"Your taunting is useless against me, humans. You all will have to do better than that!"
 Fallax Vulpe's voice called amusingly. He chuckled, "If you think that you can defeat me with your mere hands, think again. I will not release Optimus Prime to you."

Nyx groaned in anger, "Do it now, or we'll do the hard way!"

"Talk big for someone so small and young," Fallax Vulpe insulted amusingly, "Optimus Prime is not your toy to play with! Not after what you filthy insects have done to both him and his kind when they risked everything to save yours! And this time, I'm gonna use this tool in right way."

"Neither he is yours, jackass!" Nyx exclaimed in anger, "Optimus Prime is more than a tool! He's our friend! He's my hero!"

Apple Bloom nodded, "Yeah! We're gonna stop you and save Optimus!"

"He saved our home," Scootaloo said proudly, "We're gonna do the same for him!"

"We're not afraid of you, jerk!" Sweetie Belle cheered.

Fallax Vulpe's voice scoffed, "We shall see! Minions, attack!"

As order has been given, both Cybertronian Mercenaries and Sphere Workers charged at their targets. And just before they could open fire, Flare Tiger swiftly fired hers at them back for the moment. After her guns have lost the ammunition, she quickly threw a grenade at them, which exploded them to smithereens. She turned and looked at the children.

"I'm going in. So, stay here and don't do anything stupid!" Flare Tiger said firmly as she turned and reloaded her guns. She then contacted Soundwave, "Soundwave, where's that asshole?"

"Still inside the lab," Soundwave reported firmly, "Hidden in the shadows and waiting to attack you."

"Of course, bad guys loved to hiding inside the shadows. Can you locate him?"

"Negative. I can identify his appearance, abilities or even location inside the lab."

Flare Tiger sighed, "Figures. Never ever let anyone know who you really are. But never mind, I'm going in! Find a way to destroy the Infernocons and help Optimus Prime."

"Understood." Soundwave replied calmly, "Now engaging the search!"

Flare Tiger nodded as she faced the next wave of Cybertronian Mercenaries and Sphere Workers. And just before they could do anything, she threw another set of exploding grenades. They all exploded and created walls of blazing fires. Using Time-Space Magic; she then teleported into the lab, where she began engaging and attacking another group.

While Flare Tiger continued firing her twin guns and engaging combat at the minions, something electrocuted and shocked her by back twice. She hissed in concern as she found nothing but mercenaries and workers. She then thought and realized that Fallax Vulpe is still hiding in shadows while attacking them. She hates cheating a lot.

Flare Tiger struggled in dealing with both minions and hidden Fallax Vulpe. And at the same time, the blazing fire walls slowly died down. The mercenaries and workers charged and attacked the children and their friends. And luckily, both Wheelie and Brains armed and fired their minicons at them back.

"We can't stand here and do nothing. We have to help Flare Tiger!" Nyx insisted in concern.

"I know. But we need something to help," Lance Justicestrike said in concern. He groaned in upset, "But what?! What can we do?! We don't have weapons! And not to mention, none of us are good at shooting the guns."

"Hey! Check what I found!" Scootaloo said in surprise. Everyone turned to her, who was pointing at the Cybertronian Knight holding two metallic poles-like and even more weapons, "More cool stuffs."

The children turned and checked on the closet of weapons and poles. Lance Justicestrike picked two poles-like, which has been activated and transformed into Oblivion Dragon Blade and Oathkeeper Blossom Blade.

"Just what I need." Lance Justicestrike commented as he held two swords. He turned to the children while gave an order firmly, "Stay here! And don't make a move!"

Cutie Mark Crusaders groaned in upset and disappointed about being staying put. Lance Justicestrike armed his swords as he then gave a loud battle cry. While Wheelie and Brains were reloading the weapons, he charged and raided his enemies like a powerful battering ram rammed through the gates. Lance Justicestrike has finished and defeated the enemies.

Upon arriving and entering the lab, he came and assisted Flare Tiger, who was being cornered by the enemies.

Seeing his arrival, it annoyed yet amused Flare Tiger. She smiled, "I figure that you might come. I won't be mad again."

"You've guess it right. Let's finish this up!" Lance Justicestrike said firmly.

Flare Tiger and Lance Justicestrike resumed their battles. While he swung his swords in knocking and slashing his enemies to pieces, she shot her guns at them. And unfortunately, Fallax Vulpe cheated while he remained hidden in shadows, he fired his Electrical Power Strike on his enemies. This made them hard to focus to fight and defeat their enemies off.

Cutie Mark Crusaders, Minicons and Pets gasped in shock and concern after they watched the event. They need to help their friends out.

"We need to do something!" Apple Bloom asked in concern.

Sweetie Belle nodded, "I don't think they can hold it much longer!"

"We need to find and deal with that jerk now," Scootaloo exclaimed in concern, "But what we can do now?!"

"We can't give up now! There must be something we can do," Nyx said in concern. She turned and looked at Wheelie and Brains, "Guys, do you think you can scan the area?"

"Well, we can. But there's the problem," Wheelie said in concern, "His signal has been blocked off! Hard to find and attack him!"

Brains groaned, "Even if we did, we're too weak and small to take him down!"

"He's right," Spike said in concern, "There is no way we can help our friends."

Dragoking sighed, "Yeah. It's not like we could let them know where the enemies are."

Nyx hummed thoughtfully, "Actually, I have the idea."

Flare Tiger and Lance Justicestrike struggled in fighting off the enemies while dodging and avoiding several blasts and attacks from the hidden Fallax Vulpe. Both of them leaned on each other's back.

"We can't hold this much longer..." Lance Justicestrike said in concern.

Flare Tiger sighed, "Tell me something I already know!"

"Give it up now," Fallax Vulpe said amusingly, "You cannot win now."

While Fallax Vulpe enjoyed torturing his enemies for his entertainment and amusement, something shot on his left shoulder. This made him yelped in pain. And then suddenly, a flashlight lighting on him, making him scared and worried. More electrical shots and flashing lights were aiming on him. This make him nervous that his hideout will be exposed.

Fallax Vulpe quickly find and hid inside the shadows while avoiding the shots and flashlights. He has to find and kill the intruders now.

After they defeated the minions for good, both Lance Justicestrike and Flare Tiger turned to focus in hunting and finishing Fallax Vulpe. But instead; they found the children and friends were at the entrance, playing flashlights and firing electrical shots on the ceilings. After some thinking of what the children were doing, both of them gasped in realization. They turned and looked to the ceiling to find him

While searching and looking for their enemy, both Flare Tiger and Lance Justicestrike spotted a flashing on something shiny. They found him. She fired her twin guns in hitting her target. He took over by throwing and thrusting his swords at it.

SCREAM! Everyone stopped at once as they saw something fell to the ground hard. Fallax Vulpe finally got defeated and captured. They actually got him. They all cheered wildly and happily that they've got him.

Flare Tiger and her team approached while armed their weapons. They still have no idea if he's still a threat and dangerous to them or not. Lance Justicestrike turned the Creator to face them. They were all surprised and shocked of what they just saw, but not only his appearance, but both swords have pierced through the chest - his spark chamber.

"Wow... This is the Creator?" Apple Bloom asked in shock.

"No way..." Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo said in surprise.

Wheelie shrugged, "To be honest, I have no idea that he's same and smaller size as you Humans."

"And who knew he could be that powerful," Brains said in surprise, "Even for a small guy like him."

"It doesn't matter now," Nyx said firmly while glaring at weakened Fallax Vulpe, "Release Optimus Prime now! Make him back to normal!"

Fallax Vulpe laughed amusingly, which shock and surprised everyone. They don't really like it.

"Fools..." Fallax Vulpe said amusingly, "I'm not the who is in control of Optimus Prime. It's never been me from the start. And you cannot save him now. He's gone for good..."

With his last breath, Fallax Vulpe closed his eyes as he is both defeated and died. Everyone was in shock and concern as they realized that Fallax Vulpe wasn't the Creator, who controlled Optimus Prime from the start. And it's not good for them now...

"We have to go back and stop Optimus Prime now!" Nyx exclaimed in concern.

Lance Justicestrike hissed, "But how are we gonna get him back to himself?!"

"I don't know," Nyx admitted, "But we have to try and get him back! He's our friend and hero! We have to go back to him now!"


Arcee and her team struggled in dealing with group of Infernocon Combiners since the latter are bigger and stronger than them. But luckily for them, they can evade and dodged the monsters easily and quickly while attacking the Infernocuses swiftly by head, armpits, feet and even their bottom parts since it's their weaknesses.

Using her motorcycle mode, Arcee can easily escaped and avoided the attacks from the Combiners. And at the same time, she fired her blasters at their weaknesses. Thanks to his wheels, Sideswipe can easily dodged quickly the attacks while injuring and wounding his enemies' legs. Nitro Zeus laughed happily as he continued firing and unleashing his Missile Barrage on them. Since he is a jet, Cyclonus can easily outmaneuvered his enemies while firing blasting shots and even swinging his blades at them by their weaknesses.

While the team was distracted in dealing with the Infernocuses, Sunder emerged from the shadows. He then began firing his blasters at them one-by-one. This allowed the Combiners to knock and beat them at ease and quickly.

Nitro Zeus groaned in pain, "What the hell was that?"

"Who shot at us?" Arcee asked in anger.

Sideswipe gasped, "You!"

"Long time no see!" Sunder exclaimed and laughed amusingly, "Prepare to die now, my loyal friends!"

And just before the team could engage, Sunder quickly threw some gasses grenades. As grenades exploded, the gasses unleashed and blinded the team. This caused them to go blind and breathe heavily and heard. Since the team was distracted, the Infernocuses came in and attacked them.

As Sunder watched his enemies being beaten and tortured badly by the Combiners, he armed both of his Cosmic Rust Blaster and Grenades. He was about to finish them off if not by left eye shot.

"OW! My eye!" Sunder exclaimed in pain, "Damn you! Who did it?!"

LAUGHTER! Sunder looked around of the surroundings in search of the sources. He then found Mikaela, Tessa and Shane armed with their Cybertronian Guns. The hotshot driver laughed happily.

"How do you like that, boogieman?!" Shane laughed.

"I'll rust you to pieces now!" Sunder exclaimed in anger.

Tessa hissed, "You got him pissed!"

"Get ready! And don't stop firing!" Mikaela ordered firmly.

As Sunder fired his Cosmic Rust blaster at the Humans; Mikaela, Tessa and Sunder quickly dodged and hid behind the crates and walls while continued firing their blasters at him back. Though he got hit, the mad doctor continued firing his blaster at his enemies.

Arcee and her team were beaten up by Infernocuses. Their sights and breathing were recovering from the attacks. Nitro Zeus quickly unleashed Missile Barrage on five of them. Cyclonus unleashed Devil's Shockwave in knocking and pushing them back. Sideswipe charged in as he wounded and killed them by heads, chests and bottom parts.

As Arcee was about to fire, she heard some screams. She turned and found Sunder chasing after the Humans. He also firing his Cosmic Rust Blaster at them. She groaned in anger as she chased after him.

Mikaela and her team moved to deep inside of pyramid of crates. Sunder jumped and slammed his face on them hard. Nevertheless, he has his claw go through the hole in getting his enemies. And he caught Tessa's legs. Both Mikaela and Shane helped and pulled her back to them as hard as they can.

Shane groaned as he took a gun out, "Eat this, bitch!"

BANG! Sunder got his right eye shot. He is now blinded. As he was recovering, Arcee screamed as she jumped and beheaded him off by her scythes. She then checked on her friends, who emerged out from the crates. They all smiled to her as she did the same to them.

Tessa turned and hugged Shane, "Thank you, Shane! Thank you!"

"No problem, babe," Shane commented happily, "Glad to help."

Sideswipe did his job in wounding and injuring the army of Infernocuses' legs and bottoms. Nitro Zeus unleashed final wave of Missile Barrages while Cyclonus fired his Dark Shock Wave blasts in destroying the Infernocuses.

"That's the last of them," Sideswipe said in relief.

Cyclonus nodded, "I'd never want to fight them again especially when they're in Combiner Mode."

"Aw. I was just having fun," Nitro Zeus said in disappointment.

"No time for that. We have to move now!" Arcee ordered firmly. She stopped and found the rest of their friends came back, "What happen?! Where is the Creator?!"

"No time! We have to stop Optimus Prime now!" Nyx said in concern.


Inside the data room, Soundwave continued searching and downloading the information into his system. He found an information that involved of Thirteen Cybertronian Knights and Excalibur Stones of Lights across the world especially the master plans Nezha Vengito has made. He then came across the information that involved of Infernocons and the Infernocuses. He knew how to shut them down for good. He chuckled amusingly.

"Game over!"

Soundwave activated 'shut down' button in shutting down all of Infernocons and the Combiners on both here and across the world.

Soundwave smirked, "Too easy. Now to find the way to cure Optimus Prime."

"So, you'd think you can get away that easily? Fool..."

"What?!"

"DIE!"

And just before Soundwave could do anything, he yelped and groaned in pain as the purple electrical energy flow through his tentacles. It not only shocking and electrocuting him, but also killing him. It is made of virus.

Soundwave screamed in pain. However, he refused to be beaten and defeated. He rip something out of his chest - a small devices-like data bank, the only item that he refused to get infected and destroyed by virus.

Soundwave screamed in pain, "All Hail Megatron!"

Soundwave got exploded to pieces. All of his parts falling down to the ground, along with the his hand held of device.


As Soundwave has intended to do, all of Infernocons and Infernocuses were shut down for good since they're all mindless drones. Megatron, Bumblebee and Barricade engaged and dueled with Optimus Prime, who firmly and easily dodged and blocked the attacks. Sam and Cade stood on the pillars as there was nothing they could do but watch the battlefield.

Optimus Prime swung his Star Saber in knocking them back. Barricade roared as he jumped and slammed his nunchucks on his head, followed by Bumblebee's hammer and Megatron's punching by the face. Optimus Prime quickly grabbed and thrown Megatron to the wall. He then turned grabbed and thrown Bumblebee on Barricade to the ground hard. Optimus Prime began stomping on them for few times.

Megatron charged and rammed Optimus Prime off. Both of then swung their blades against each other in both offense and defense for few rounds. Optimus Prime swung by top but blocked by Megatron, who then punched on his former ally's chest by five times before gave a headbutt. The Autobot Leader gave a hard punch on the Decepticon Leader's head before punching on his chest and then the legs for few times. Optimus Prime grabbed and thrown Megatron to the ground hard. Stomped for three times by Optimus Prime, Megatron struggled in pushing his former nemesis back.

As Megatron struggled in getting up, Optimus Prime swung and slammed the Axe Sword in wounding the latter's left shoulder. The Decepticon Leader was about fire his Fusion Canon, but his hand was grabbed and twisted by Optimus Prime.

Optimus Prime was about to finish Megatron off. Barricade jumped and attacked him viciously especially attacking the head. As the Autobot Leader struggled in standing, he grabbed and thrown Barricade right at the pillar, where Sam and Cade were standing. They all fell and dropped on the Decepticon Scout.

Optimus Prime was about to thrust his Star Saber at Megatron. Bumblebee radioed in wild west style as he swung his hammer at his former leader's face thrice before slammed it on Optimus Prime's chest. Both of them screamed as they swung their weapons at each other fiercely and determinedly for few rounds, though they have managed to inflict a damage on each other.

While Optimus Prime shown no emotion or concern, Bumblebee does as he struggled in holding his grounds while fighting back at his former leader. Therefore, Bumblebee took a lot of beatings and wounds by Optimus Prime and his slashing Star Saber at his former comrade..

And during the duel with his former comrade, Optimus Prime groaned a bit as he has some voices in his head. He heard not only another Creator but also both Alpha Trion and Primus.

"Optimus Prime, you must resist! You must fight it now!" 
Alpha Trion pleaded, "You cannot kill them! Resist the control now!"

"This is not your destiny!" Primus exclaimed, "Do not betray what you have fought for!"

"Do it, Prime! Now!"

Mysterious Creator exclaimed in anger, "Don't let these pretenders stop you! They are not your friends!"

"Don't do it, Prime!"

Primus and Alpha Trion shouted.

Mysterious Creator screamed, "Do as your goddess command!"

Optimus Prime screamed in anger as he held and swung Bumblebee around him for few times. He then thrown him to the shelf of Cybertronian Artifacts. The Autobot Leader began beating and even ripping Bumblebee's parts out piece-by-piece.

Megatron and his team slowly recovering from the attack. The rest of their allies have arrived and entered the throne chamber as well. They all witnessed the onslaught Optimus Prime has unleashed upon Bumblebee. They all shouted and protested to Optimus Prime, though no avail.

Bumblebee became too weak and injured to fight and stand up especially he began to lose so much of his parts and Energon. He's almost dying. Optimus Prime activated his Arm Blade in ready to finish his old friend off. Bumblebee squeaked in fear. Everyone was in shock and concern. Nyx couldn't bear to see it as she charged to Bumblebee's side while holding her hand out. Optimus Prime thrust his blade immediately, aiming at Bumblebee's chest.

"Optimus, don't!"

"STOP!" Nyx screamed as her eyes blinked and winked once. Hers became white while her hand glowed brightly. She shouted, "Don't do it! Don't kill him!"

Nyx's hand glowed and fired a powerful beam of light at Optimus Prime's head, stopping him from striking at Bumblebee. And at the same time, her power of light have managed to purge the control by mysterious creator and even some of Artificial Energon within him. His purplish light slowly turned into blue colored.

Optimus Prime groaned, "W-What happen?!" He looked down and found Bumblebee weakened and wounded badly, "Bumblebee?!" He then looked at his hands, which covered by greenish Energon, "What have I done?!"

"Optimus..."
 Bumblebee groaned in pain with his weak real voice, "You're freed... I'm... h-happy to see you... B-brother..."

And just before Optimus Prime could ask, Bumblebee hung his head down as his blue eyes went off. He was in shock, and so does everyone else. While the Humans began to cry tearfully and sadly, Cybetrronian lowered their heads down in respect for him. Optimus Prime held Bumblebee as he was boiling all of his despair and anger emotion up.

"Noooooooooooooooooo!" Optimus Prime screamed, "Buuummmbleeeebeeeeeee!"

As Optimus Prime and his allies were mourning for Bumblebee's death, Megatron noticed Soundwave's part drop to the ground. He approached to his fallen ally. He squatted down and lowed his head in respect for his former trusted lieutenant.

"You've served me well, my old friend..." Megatron said firmly. He then noticed a device. He took it up. He held and clenched it tightly, "Your sacrifice will not be in vain!" Megatron turned and held Optimus Prime's shoulder, "Optimus, we must go."

"Why should I?" Optimus Prime snarled in anger while looking at Bumblebee's dead body, "I've done terrible things. I've betrayed everyone. I've killed my own friend. I've let you all down. I don't deserved to be the leader..."

Everyone but Decepticons felt sorry for Optimus Prime. They all don't blame him because he was being forced to betray and kill their allies especially Bumblebee.

Megatron grabbed and held Optimus Prime, "So, you rather die, is that it?! Then, Bumblebee' death means nothing to you at all! All who died mean nothing to you at all, you coward!"

Optimus Prime snarled and glared at Megatron, "How dare you?! Have you no compassion or heart for your comrades?! After what they have done for you, even though Starscream may betrayed you yet he stayed by your sides?! How dare you insult him?!"

"If Bumblebee is truly your comrade, then fight for him! Keep on fighting till all of our enemies are dead! That is the only way to redeem yourself and honor him."

"Like how you do? You don't convince me that you truly care for your comrades at all."

"That maybe so. But I refused to die until I achieved my victory. And that one is something I refused to let their sacrifice to be forgotten and in vain! I'd never forgotten! What about you? What did Bumblebee sacrifice for?"

Heard what Megatron has said, Optimus Prime looked at Bumblebee's body. He was in despair and pain to see it but have some thoughts about his former brother-in-arms's words. He knew what and why Bumblebee did it. Optimus Prime put Bumblebee's body down gently while spoke in Cybertronian Language.

"Rest in Peace, my brother," Optimus Prime said calmly in Cybertronian Language. He turned and faced at Megatron and all of his allies. He spoke normally, "I won't let his sacrifice for nothing. He died to save me. It's time I return him a favor."

"Good. Soundwave has what we need. We must end their master plans," Megatron said firmly while holding the device up, "We must make a move!"

"Understood," Optimus Prim nodded. He turned and looked at his allies, "Everyone, we cannot let the sacrifices Bumblebee and Soundwave has made. This war is far from over! We will stop and defeat Nezha Vengito, no matter the cost! This is for them and all of comrades, who died besides with us!"

Everyone was in pain and sad, yet they all shown determination and brave faces. They all will not let Bumblebee and Soundwave died for nothing. They all cheered, "YEAH!"

"AUTOBOTS/DECEPTICONS! TRANSFORM AND ROLL/RISE UP!" 
Megatron and Optmus Prime ordered firmly, "FOR OUR COMRADES!"

Both Autobots and Decepticons transformed into their vehicular modes. Sam and Bumblebee got into Sideswipe's car. Cade, Tessa and Shane got into Barricade's car mode. Flare Tiger rode Arcee's motorcycle mode. Lance Justicestrike and his friends got into Optimus Prime's truck mode. They all headed off at once.

"Nyx, what did you do?" Lance Justicestrike asked in concern.

"What you did is cool!" Cutie Marl Crusaders cheered.

Nyx shrugged while looking at her hands, "I don't know. I really don't know. Could I have the magic power or mutant power like others?"

"Whatever you did, you saved Optimus Prime," Spike said in relief, "Otherwise, it was for nothing."

Dragoking sighed, "Let's hope that others are fine as well."

Everyone was heading off to find and hunt Nezha Vengito. A strange rounded circle-like metallic device fell and dropped on Bumblebee's chest. It flickered in blue light like it has been activated. It unleashing a strange watery energy-like. It's affecting Bumblebee's dead body...

Dark Prophecy will begin in 2 more hours. Time is running out...
