Transformers: Prime: The Legacy of Optimus Prime

Chapter 37: Fight for Justice and Vengeance

Hivemus Prime is sitting on the bridge as Starscream arrives as he is holding a red sword with a black handle "Do you know what this is?" Starscream asked with a smirk as Hivemus just makes a deadpan face "No, but I bet you're gonna tell me" he said. "This is the Red Tyrant Sword, made of the dark essence of Demonicons. I asked an expert to make this sword without the use of the Forge of Solus Prime" Starscream explained.

"Finally, you made a clever choice to make a weapon without using an artifact of a Prime" Hivemus sneered. Starscream growled at Hivemus' remark "Anyway, I'll use this sword to slay Megatron, your adopted father, Optimus Prime, and their entire family. Then, I'll finally have my revenge for all those years of abuse, defeat, and suffering" Starscream said "Your revenge won't work, Starscream! It'll fail, just like your other revenge schemes did!" Hivemus Prime exclaimed. "Oh, I beg to differ, Bumblebee. I will succeed in killing all of my enemies and then usurp the throne as the true leader of all Decepticons! Before my followers and I kill and enslave the Autobots for taking advantage of the Decepticon faction for 'unity, peace, and equality'." Starscream explained. "As if!" Hivemus Prime muttered as he quickly got up and kicks Starscream as he quickly exits the bridge.

"How cute? The little bee wants to play" Starscream said. Hivemus was in the halls as he tries to escape until he stumbles towards New Decepticon troopers as he fights them off despite having his servos cuffed behind his back. Suddenly, Fracture tases Hivemus Prime from behind as he loses consciousness again.

Meanwhile at the scrapyard...

Fixit, Megatron, Orion Eclipse, Drift, Slipstream, Jetstorm, Grimlock, Sideswipe, Strongarm, and their classmates were doing afternoon activities: Grimlock is taking a nap, Orion Eclipse is watching a YouTube video about funny cat video compilations, Drift and his Minicons were playing Mahjong (a Japanese board game), Sideswipe's classmates were playing basketball, Strongarm and Sideswipe are playing chess as Megatron is watching them. "I got you now, punk!" Strongarm said, "Not until the last chess piece falls!" Sideswipe retorted "Try moving your knight to the rook then use your bishop to block the queen," Megatron advised as Strongarm gasped in shock.

Sideswipe follows Megatron's stragedy as he moves his knight and bishop to block Strongarm's rook and queen, then he moves his king and took Strongarm's king as he won "Yes! Checkmate! In your face! In your face!" Sideswipe cried as he dances and Strongarm scoffs "Pfft, two against one" she muttered. Fixit gets a call from Optimus Prime "Fixit to Optimus Prime, come in" Optimus said as Fixit answers "Fixit here" he said.

"Hivemus Prime has disappeared when we were apprehending the Decepticons in New Jersey and had them in custody then New Depecticon troopers came out of the spacebridge, we retreated and that's when Hivemus disappeared" Optimus Prime explained. "We'll be there right away" Orion Eclipse said as Optimus Prime hangs up "Fixit, activate the groundbridge to where Optimus is" he ordered "Yes, sir," Fixit said as he types the coordinates to where Optimus is as the portal opens as they entered.

New Jersey...

Optimus Prime is waiting for the others to arrive as a portal appeared as they exit. "We're here," Megatron said "Take us to where you last saw Hivemus Prime before his disappearance," Strongarm said as Optimus Prime takes them to where he last saw his adopted son before disappeared as they look for clues of what made Hivemus Prime disappear. Grimlock was sniffing for Hivemus' scent suddenly he stopped as Hivemus' scent ended there.

"Hey, me Grimlock found something," Grimlock said as everyone approached him "What did you find Grim?" Sideswipe asked "Me Grimlock was sniffing him Hivemus' scent and then it ended here" he explained "But, how? There's nothing that could throw off Hivemus' scent" Strongarm exclaimed as Sideswipe examines the spot where Hivemus' scent ended "You're right, Strongarm. There's nothing, the only way that Hivemus Prime could throw off his scent is by flight or water and Hivemus doesn't have a jet mode or a jetpack, and there's no river or lake nearby" Sideswipe explained.
