Transformers: Prime: The New Beginning

Chapter 39: A Grand Master Plan

Knock Out and Breakdown were both fuming as they traveled back to Earth with Leland Bishop in tow. They couldn't believe that the Quintessons had managed to bring the former M.E.C.H leader back to life, and they were both angry at the thought of working alongside him.

"I can't believe they brought that scum-sucking human back to life," Breakdown growled, his fists clenched in anger.

Knock Out nodded in agreement. "He was nothing but trouble when he was alive. Who knows what kind of chaos he'll cause now?"

Despite their anger, Orion Eclipse and Bumblebee were determined to take Bishop back to Earth and turn him over to Agent Fowler. They knew that he had to pay for his crimes, no matter what.

As they traveled back to Earth, the Autobots welcomed Cliffjumper back to the team, relieved to have one of their own back in their ranks. Meanwhile, Arcee and Knock Out decided to break up, knowing that their relationship was causing tension between Breakdown and the rest of the Autobots.

Starscream, meanwhile, mourned the loss of his beloved Skywarp. He couldn't bear the thought of living without his partner, and he vowed to find a way to bring him back.

Doomsayer, on the other hand, had other plans. He communicated with Unicron about when is the right time to raid the Autobot base to finally get his Anti-Spark. The Chaos Bringer instructed Doomsayer to bring the Anti-Spark to the Earth's core, where he could be resurrected once he and his New Decepticons rescue Unicron's spark from being imprisoned at the Autobots' base.

As the Autobots, Neutrals, and Ex-Decepticons worked through their own personal issues, Megatron and Elita-One made a truce, realizing that they had both lost loved ones during the war. They had a civilized conversation about their experiences, and both had a change of heart after enduring so many years of conflict.

Finally, Breakdown made a truce with Bulkhead, deciding to become a Neutral and leave the war behind. And as Orion Eclipse and Altair Comet talked about their future together, the Autobots and Decepticons prepared for whatever challenges lay ahead. Orion Eclipse approached his father Megatron with a curious expression on his face. "Father, can you tell me about my mother? What was she like?"

Megatron paused for a moment, his optics flickering with memories. "Your mother was Firestar. She was a kind and compassionate soul, always putting the needs of others before her own."

"How did you two meet?" Orion asked.

"I was a gladiator in the Pits of Kaon, and she worked as a nurse there. We didn't fall in love until we met again years later, but once we did, we became inseparable," Megatron explained.

Orion nodded, taking in the information. "Did she ever stop loving you, even after you turned evil and started the Great War?"

Megatron's expression darkened. "No, she never stopped loving me. Even when I was consumed by my desire for power, she remained loyal and true to me."

Suddenly, Orion's expression turned serious. "Father, we now know that it was Doomsayer who caused Mother's demise and framed the Autobots for it. We need to avenge her death."

Megatron's optics blazed with anger. "You're right, my son. We will find Doomsayer and make him pay for what he's done. But we must be careful. He and his army of minions will stop at nothing to get their hands on Unicron's Anti-Spark."

Orion nodded in agreement. "We'll have to come up with a plan to find him and kill him before he can make his next move."

Megatron placed a hand on his son's shoulder. "Together, we will avenge your mother's death and protect our people from those who seek to harm us."
