One Shall Rise, One Shall Fall Part 3

While Optimus went out for recon, Elena once again had a message from PeaceStar, now through her dreams. the place where she was standing, was a dark desert.

"Where am I? what going on here?" she asked.

"This is because of Unicron awakening," said PeaceStar before showed up.

"Unicron? You mean the one who fought with Primus?"

"The one and same," said PeaceStar.

"But what he is doing here on earth?"

"Because he is the core of your planet."

"What?!"

"Long time ago, when he was defeated, because of gravity and magnetism earth became to exist."

"Then what will happen?"

"If he fully wakes up it will be the end of your planet and the human race."

"Is there anything that could stop him?"

"There is. The Matrix of leadership."

"What is that?"

"It holds all the knowledge of Primes. Before Unicron was defeated AlphaStar climb up to theStar tower and made a wish a Wish way to save Primes and Cybertron. During that wish, a light came up to her which she sent to the Primes along her tears to create a device where all the knowledge was stored."

"Did it stop Unicron back then?"

"To send him away from Cybertron, yes. But this is bit different situation. Unicron can't be moved without causing any damage."

"How it suppose to help them?"

"It knows its way. Like I said Matrix of leadership holds all the knowledge of Primes. It uses its power how it sees fit."

"Where is it then?" asked Elena.

"In Optimus spark," said PeaceStar. Elena looked her with wide eyes. "Primus himself gave it to him. He is last of the Primes."

"He is?"

"Which is why Unicron is after his life."

"What? Why?"

"Because he is last Prime. Last descendant of Primus."

"Aren't you too?"

"Yes. But Primes, are capable of fighting. which is why Unicron goes after Optimus before he goes after you."

"Me?"

"You're Star now. The child of Primus. If it wasn't for Star he wouldn't be here. besides, if the last the one of us dies, it could break our father's heart and kill him too."

"So, he is after all of us," said Elena look down before PeaceStar lifts her head up.

"Not unless you get him first."

"But..."

"Optimus is aware that Matrix could stop him, but to make sure everything goes well, you need to be strong, and brave. And most of all, trust your feelings."

"What you mean?" asked Elena, but PeaceStar was once more fading away. "Peace! Wait. I still need to ask you. Why you..."



Elena wakes up in Optimus' berth and looks around. She wasn't sure how long she was sleeping, but she felt that situation is out of hand. She looked herself and find that SweetStar had torn her dress. She will buy a new one for her when this is over for sure. She tries to get up until she notices the audio file next to her. She first thought it's one of Optimus', but a cording to its name it's for her. What has it?

She opens it and activates play mode. It's Optimus who has recorded it. In the file, he tells what happened on the day of her operation. How PeaceStar tried to use her energon on her, but Optimus gave up energon sample first. Then how that made her to his daughter. Then he told how PeaceStar asked him to look after her that her name was Elena Star Prime. All this was so shocking, but not in a bad way, if not like the way you hear that you're having a baby or that your relative survived from something horrible experience. Then there was a small pause before Optimus the last words. The words he added today.

'Elena, I admit, when I first heard that you'll become my daughter, I was afraid. Afraid that I'm not able to look after you. But now these past years made me realize that the I have started to look you as my daughter. The way you sit on my shoulder, listen to my stories and share yours. The way you look at me. I can see PeaceStar was right about us. Our bond is clear now. I wish that one day you would call me your father just like I would call you my daughter.'

In this, the file came to end. All those words kept ringing in her head in which she started to cry. Not for sadness if not by happiness. After calming herself she got up and went put a shirt on since she was wearing only skirt and underwear. There's no way she would give heart attack now in this situation. Once she did, she started to move to the command center.



Once Elena gets to the Command Center, she could sense there is serious situation going on.

It turns out Megatron has decided to help them to defeat Unicron. Well, that would be first. But then again if Unicron wakes up, Megatron won't be able to take over the planet. And since he has consumed by dark energon, A.K.A. blood of Unicron, he knows where to attack and how to get there. But that requires a ground bridge. Would they really allow Megatron to come into their base? It could be risky. Especially for their human friends. He already almost killed Raf. But Optimus knew it would be the only way to defeat Unicron and he won't allow Megatron be on the base more than is needed. He already has decided to accept the task, to save humankind, no matter its cost. Question was, how was with others?

They agreed for their human partner.

"For Miko"

"For Jack"

"(For Raf.)"

"Then it is decided," said Elena clearly. In this everyone looked at her direction. "If it's the only way, let's wish everything goes well." Everyone stood looked at her. It was like she was a bit, different person. She was like Prime. "Let the light shine through the darkness."



Since they had decided, they have to let Megatron into base only to give coordinates to get to Unicron's spark chamber. And for protection, it would be best if humans stay hidden, for who knows what he might do to them. That included SweetStar and Elena. SweetStar for sure because she was Star and it was Megatron who put a bounty of the Stars. Plus she was freezing. Elena in other hand had other reason, Megatron has already seen her truly since she stopped him from killing Optimus. So, who knows what he will do on seeing her again.

Once everyone was out, Megatron came in. While he was coming in, Autobots prepared their weapons just in case, until he was in.

"So, this is where the magic happens." said Megatron "Quint."

No one didn't say a word while they keep eye on him. But they didn't know humans were peaking on to see what would happen. Elena had to hold on to SweetStar because she was so weak. She only wishes Megatron won't sense either of them. But then Raf run to them. He hasn't forgotten what Megatron did. Others went after him and so did Elena. Raf wished to yell at Megatron, but then again they forgot they were only humans and he is leader Decepticons. Autobots keep pointing their weapons at Megatron if he ever thinks to do something.

"Ah, you're all better last time we meet, little one," said Megatron. "Humans, resilient."

"Come on, Raf. He isn't worth it," said Jack and lead him to June to take him safe.

"And you. I never forget the face, even from a human," said Megatron to Jack. But Jack didn't answer.

"Come on, Jack," said Elena and took him with her. But before she went she looked on Megatron. It was like the eye contact told all. Her look was like Primes. She stopped looking and went with others. And Miko had to yell treats too before agent Fowler took her out.

Then Optimus asked Ratchet to take coordinates from Megatron. Like he said, he won't allow Megatron to stay on base any more than necessary.

While Megatron was giving coordinates, Optimus went for Jack to ask him a favor. Elena stood to watch what he was up to. Optimus gave something to Jack.

"what is it?" asked Jack.

"It is...the key to ground bridge power supplies," said Optimus.

"Okay, but shouldn't Ratchet have this?"

"Perhaps," said Optimus. "But I have impressed how much you have matured since we first meet. As such, I feel you have earned responsibility to safeguard this important device until I return."

"I won't let you down."

Optimus nodded for accepting his answer. After this, he looked on Elena. She looked him back worried.

"You will come back, won't you," she said. Optimus just looked at her. He had a feeling he won't come back. But he could say it out loud. Not to her.

"I intend to..." he said. He was cut on short when Elena run to him hold tight in his hand like she would have hugged him.

"Don't lie to me," said Elena quietly, so only he heard it. He even felt tears fall on him. "You must promise me to come back and you remember that."

"I'll promise," he said. Elena still said something, before the last tear falls out. Jack only looked both on them. Since SweetStar already told all of them about Elena. He could see it now it was real. Soon Elena let Optimus go.

The ground bridge was ready and others were ready to go.

"You first," said Arcee.

"As you wish," said Megatron and went through the ground bridge. Before others followed, they looked on their human partners. Once they went Optimus did the same and looked on to them. And by all of them, he looked on Elena. She was trying to hold her tears while looked on him. He gave quick nod before he went through the ground bridge. Once the bridge went close, Elena looks down and let tears fall to the ground, while kids and Sweet hugged her.
