~On the Citadel~
Jotun finished up on some of the finishing touches of the Weapon that VanX wanted him to make for Sabine, it was a unique multi-tool Mandalorian weapon's system. he paused as he felt something, something watching him...
the hairs on the back of his neck stood on end, he had never felt like this before. VanX once told him how he could see an ancient Mandalorian Jedi in robes sometimes appear, but Jotun wasn't a force-sensitive person, and even if he was, his Cybernetic arms would severely hamper his ability if he had the ability to use the force, he got a dreadful feeling from this being looked at feeling.
"Hello?" he asked out, no one answered.
he turned back and resumed his work, grabbing a fusion cutter that was handed to him. he carved a~ wait a minute, his Fusion Cutter was handed to him? He looked and was shocked to see no one there, was he going mad?! His holo-communicator then went off and the voice of Kanan called him.
"Jotun, VanX and the others have returned, come to the hangar." the voice said.
Jotun rolled his eyes as he heard Kanan's voice, he didn't like to be interrupted in his work, and he just flat out didn't like Kanan, he just didn't like the way he sounded. He installed the final part of the device and he ran to the Hangar, now not thinking of the eldritch presence that was watching him before as he entered the Hangar and the Pelican with a Razor Crest attached to it.
The Ramp of the Pelican opened and all the Mandalorians, Silverbolt and a small green baby walked out following the new Grey Mandalorian. "Wow, you go find your mom and you come back with a whole family." Jotun joked with VanX but VanX didn't laugh. "The Bridge, now." VanX said as he led everyone to the Bridge.
~Moments Later~
VanX finished explaining everything to Bo-Katan, Axe Wolves and Korska Reeves, with a glowing yellow hologram of Unicron's planetary Form. "Without the Trans-Warp Drive, Unicron is stranded in the Mandalore system, so we don't have to worry about a time-limit, now... Mom, where is the Cyber-Planet key of Prima, Vector Prime said that you and Satine would know where the key is. Where is it?" VanX explained further and then asked Bo-Katan.
Bo-Katan looked at VanX for a moment before she closed her eyes and blowed out an annoyed sigh. "The fate of the Universe is at stake Mom." VanX said. Bo-Katan then put her helmet down and reached up and took off her hairband, she then pressed something on the back of the metal part of the headband and she then pulled out a small white circular piece of Cybertronian metal. Bo-Katan then threw it over at VanX and VanX caught it, looking the tiny piece of metal over.
"This is it?" he asked.
"Each of the four Cyber-planet keys has a unique look to them, the Cyber-Planet key of Prima was made to be easily lost due to its size, the Cyber-Planet key of Solus Prime was made in the shape of a Sword sheath, the Cyber-Planet key of Megatronus Prime was made in the form of a Crystal gemstone of black magic that can be made into a dark blade, and finally the last Cyber-Planet Key is with the Omega lock itself." Vector Prime said as he explained the reason as to why the Cyber-Planet key of Prima was so small.
"This is all nice to see you playing king and all, but you can't be serious right?" Axe Wolves' voice called out, VanX looked at him as he spoke, Jotun looked down at the Black and Blue armored Mandalorian as he spoke.
"You really think you saving the universe will blow over what you did to our people~" Axe Wolves spoke on but Jotun smashed Axe Wolves face down onto the war table, cracking the table.
"VanX did NOT betray his people." Jotun said sternly as he held Axe Wolves head down.
"Let go of me!" Axe wolves strained as he tried to get Jotun's large hand off of the back of his head, but Jotun's hand stayed firm gripping the back of Axe wolves head, Jotun in the short time he had learned of What VanX has gone through he now defended VanX's honor to a religious point, to Jotun, if you questioned VanX's ways, you would have to deal with Jotun.
"Jotun, Stop." VanX said, Jotun listened and let go of Axe wolves head and let him slope to the floor in pain.
"Axe Wolves, believe what you want, But I did NOT betray Mandalore, I'm going to avenge it by destroying Unicron, and killing Azeroth." VanX said as he looked at the Darksaber for a moment, thinking about the Cyber-planet key of Megatronus prime.
"Vector Prime, could the Cyber-planet key of Megatronus prime be useable like a Kyber Crystal?" VanX asked the Cybertronian warrior, Vector Prime squinted his optics as he heard this.
"What is a Kyber Crystal?" he asked.
"The Darksaber and other lightsaber weapons use Kyber crystals, a type of Energon crystal that under certain circumstances be used to create these blades, but the Darksaber is the most unique Lightsaber, it's blade is black with white shimmering lines on the edges, from what I know, Jarack Djunda the former King Manda'lore created it, using a unique black Kyber crystal. Could this Megatronus' Cyber-planet key be a crystal like that, you said it could be made into a Dark Blade." VanX said as he explained how Lightsabers and the Darksaber worked, holding the weapon up to Vector Prime.
"Hmm... perhaps we only have one more Cyber-Planet key to look for, that is if this Darksaber's kyber crystal is Megatronus' Cyber-Planet key." Vector Prime said as he stood back to full height.
"But, in order for you to get the Cyber~" But VanX had already snapped the Darksaber in half before Bo-Katan could finish her sentence. "NO!" she shouted in shock, everyone who knew the significance of what VanX did were shocked at what he did, even Jotun was shocked. VanX put the broken Darksaber onto the war table and dug out the Black Kyber Crystal. he looked at it and saw the distinct symbol on the Crystal.
VanX held the Crystal up to Vector Prime. "it has the Autobot Symbol on it, it has to be it." VanX said as Vector Prime looked at the symbol.
"No, this is not an Autobot Symbol, it is the marking of the Knights of Cybertron." Vector Prime said.
VanX looked down for a moment as he felt something familiar at hearing the name of the individuals this Symbol belonged to. "The Knights of Cybertron? Who are they?" Sabine asked out loud.
Vector Prime then began to explain the origin of the Knights of Cybertron, VanX saw Bo-Katan still looking at the remains of the now Broken Darksaber hilt. "Still want it mom?" VanX asked in a sarcastic tone.
Vector Prime coughed to get everyone's attention as he resumed his telling of the Knights.
"As I was saying, The Knights of Cybertron were an order of Ancient Cybertronian warriors as old as the thirteen primes themselves, their leader StormReign was a Telos warrior of great renown, dedicated to the art of war and serving the mightiest of the Primes, Solus Prime herself, he loved her, he and his Knights of Cybertron aided us Primes in defeating Unicron when we casted him out into the deep reaches of Space, after that Solus Prime was killed by Megatronus Prime, and StormReigns Wrath was recorded in history on Cybertron, but we were able to stop him, we sent him and his knights to go and Isolate themselves in a lost sector of space, no one knows where they reside now." Vector Prime said as he retold the legend of the Knights of Cybertron.
"Why are you telling us this Vector Prime?" Arcee asked innocently.
"Because the Knights of Cybertron were ordered to guard the Sword scabbard of Solus Prime, the last Cyber-Planet key." Vector Prime said finally.
VanX breathed in a sigh of understanding as he spoke up. "Where should we start looking?" he asked.
"A planet called Earth." Vector prime answered.
