THE WILL OF PRIMUS

Chapter 18

I listened to Optimus as he told us a prophecy. I've heard this prophecy before from a Predacon liberian but I and other Predacons never took it seriously.

Arcee: No skies raining fire?

Ratchet: Goes without saying. It is a doom prophecy after all.

Bulkhead: I say it's a load of hooey.

Ratchet: I always assumed the Ancients were referring to our home planet, but being that Cybertron has been dark for eons....

Titus: Earth. The prophecy is referring to the very planet we walk on.

Bulkhead: Whoa, Whoa, Whoa. We've known about these superstitions for ages and never gave them a second thought.

Arcee: Why all the ominous rumbling now?

Optimus: Because the planetary alignment to which the prophecy refers is nearly upon us.

Titus: The prophecy speaks of a great evil and the only great evil I know of, has been banished to the stars never to return.

Optimus: However unsettling this revelation maybe, I am more concerned about those who might believe that the prophecy speaks to them alone.

I was about to say something when I suddenly had a feeling, it felt familiar it wasn't bad nor was it good. I head over to the console and activated the ground bridge on a random set of coordinates.

Ratchet: Titus?

I ignore him and walked through the portal. I look around and saw that I was in a canyon, as I walked around the feeling got stronger to the point that I had to transform into my Predacon form. I sniff around the area and found a familiar scent. I follow it to.... a pile of rocks? I give out a confused growl and picked up one of the rocks then sniffed it, there was a scent of dark energon on it. I place the rock back and I was about to call for a ground bridge when I'm suddenly sent flying into the wall.

???: You have grown weak.

I shake my head then got up to see.... Unicron?! Or at least a clone of him and it looked weak, Unicron's clones are a lot bigger than this. I growl then tried to tackle him but he grabs me mid-air and slammed me to the ground, he stabs me right through my shoulder with his spiked spear arm and I roar out in pain.

He removes it from my shoulder and I try to get up but he steps down on my head multiple times almost forcing it into the ground, he picks me up by my neck and began to crush it. I whine as I heard a few armor plates crack I try my best to free myself but I couldn't. He then started punching me on my underbelly multiple times, it felt like I was being hit with my Thunderstrike gauntlet and with each hit I would spit out energon.

He throws me to the wall and I try getting up again but Unicron had other plans he began slamming his spiked mace down on me then kicked me into the air. As I fell back down he hits me with his mace and sent me flying into another wall, Unicron looked at me with a satisfied grin and walked over to the pile of rocks. I try to stand but everything hurt I couldn't move, there was energon leaking from all my wounds and my wings had holes and tears on them. Unicron kicks me onto my back and stepped on my neck, I try to use my fire but he puts more pressure on my neck forcing me to spit out more energon.

Unicron: Titanicus Prime, the youngest of Primus, Prime of the Predacons. It is time to become your worst enemy.

Before I knew what was even happening he rips open my chest plate revealing my cores and my spark. He then brought something that looked like the Matrix but a darker version, he shoves it into my chest and I roar out in pain and began thrashing around trying to get it out but Unicron held me down. My optics switched from blue to purple multiple times before settling on blue. Unicron lets go of me then crumbled away.

With the last bit of my energy, I send a distress beacon to the others then blacked out.
