Sentinel Prime was spending a rare and precious moment with his son, Sentry. Born from the twisted machinations of the Destructicon terrorist Doomsayer, who combined stolen CNA samples of Elita-One and Sentinel Prime, Sentry had been adopted by Optimus Prime as an infant sparkling. Today, however, he was spending time with his biological father.
Sentry looked up at Sentinel with wide optics. "Sentinel? I mean, Dad?"
Sentinel Prime smiled warmly. "Yes, Sentry?"
"I love you."
"I love you too, my son."
"And we'll always be together, right?"
"Always, son. Always."
Sentinel Prime hugged his son tightly, savoring the moment. Suddenly, evil laughter echoed through the halls of Metroplex.
Sentry pulled back, fear evident in his optics. "Dad? What was that?"
Sentinel Prime's expression darkened. "No, it can't be."
Sentry's voice quivered. "What can't be?"
Sentinel Prime crouched down to Sentry's level, urgency in his tone. "Sentry, I want you to run and hide. Now!"
"But who is it?"
"I do not know," Sentinel Prime lied, trying to keep his voice steady.
A chilling voice interrupted, filled with malevolent glee. "Oh, you should know by now, Sentinel Prime."
Sentinel Prime's optics widened in shock. "Jhiaxus!?!"
Jhiaxus emerged from the shadows, his presence radiating menace. "Hello, Sentinel."
"You can't be real."
Jhiaxus's laugh was cold and mocking. "Oh, but I am real, old buddy."
Sentry clutched Sentinel's arm. "Dad, who is that? And why does he sound like you?"
Sentinel Prime pushed Sentry gently but firmly. "Sentry, run! Now!"
Sentry hesitated for a moment before turning and sprinting away. Sentinel Prime squared his shoulders, facing his dark counterpart.
"Did you miss me? I missed you," Jhiaxus taunted.
Sentinel Prime's voice was a mix of anger and confusion. "What do you want this time, Jhiaxus? And how in the Allspark did you—"
"My spark left your subconscious mind and merged with a protoform, giving myself new life and a new body to inhabit. I no longer desire to torment you in your nightmares, nor do I desire to possess your body to resurrect myself. I am no longer the evil spirit that haunts you, for I have come back to life!"
Sentinel Prime shook his head, disbelief etched on his features. "That's not possible! You're just an illusion!"
Jhiaxus stepped closer, his grin widening. "I can assure you that I am real right in front of you. You just don't want to accept it."
"What do you want from me this time, you monster!?" Sentinel Prime demanded.
Jhiaxus's eyes gleamed with malice. "Why, the answer is simple. I want your son."
"You stay away from him!" Sentinel Prime roared.
The two titans clashed, their battle fierce and unrelenting. Metal met metal as they exchanged blows, but Jhiaxus, fueled by his newfound strength and dark determination, gained the upper hand. With a mighty heave, he hurled Sentinel Prime across the room. Sentinel slammed against the wall and crumpled to the ground, unconscious.
