3rd POV (Volcanic Land)
Dark energon falls from the sky like comets. Thunder cracks from the dark clouds. Optimus is in the ground, pinned by Megatron.
"Why is the blood of Unicron...erupting from beneath the Earth?" Optimus asked weakly.
"A question Optimus, that you shall take to your grave!" Megatron sneered.
His starts to bring his blade down to kill Optimus. Lucky, Bulkhead leaped from the Ground Bridge and tackled Megatron away. The green Autobot whacked Megatron with his wrecking ball. Periwinkle and Arcee flip out of the Ground Bridge. They look up to see dark energy erupting from the volcano. Rachet appeared next to them.
"Quickly, we must pull him through!" Rachet tells them.
They hold onto Optimus. Megatron punches Bulkhead several feet away. Bulkhead growled at the evil warlord.
"Bulk!" Arcee called out.
Bulkhead turns to see Periwinkle, Arcee, and Rachet dragging Optimus through the Ground Bridge.
"Come on!" Periwinkle yelled.
Bulkhead transforms into an SUV and drives towards the Ground Bridge. Megatron starts to chase him. Bulkhead transforms back into his robot form and leaps through the Ground Bridge. Megatron attempts to strike at him with his dark energon enhanced blade, but the Ground Bridge disappeared. Megatron growled before seeing a drop of energon on his clawed digit.
"This is nearly the beginning! I now possess enough dark energon...to reanimate Unicron himself!" Megatron declared.
He starts to laugh maniacally. Back at the Base, Bumblebee activates the Ground Bridge. The rest of the Autobots walk back in the Base through it. Rachet and Bulkhead are carrying each of Optimus' arms on their shoulders. Optimus groans in pain. The Ground Bridge deactivates.
"Easy, Optimus. From the looks of things, you've been exposed to a massive amount of dark energon." Rachet tells him.
Optimus looks over to see Fiona and June checking on Raf.
"I am not the only one." Optimus admitted. He sits down on a crate.
Optimus looks at Raf.
"Hey." Raf greeted.
"He's lucky to be alive." June stated bitterly.
Miko, Jack and Lydia walk down the stairs.
"Megatron found more of the dark stuff?" Jack asked.
"A volcano full." Arcee replied.
"The question is how?" Bulkhead wondered.
"No, the question is what. As in what in the world is the blood of Unicron is doing here on Earth." Rachet corrected.
"The 'Cons killed a unicorn?" Miko asked.
The Autobots look at her in confusion.
"White horse is a horn on its head. Prances around all sparkly."
"It also has magical powers and loves to eat berries and flowers." Lydia added.
"Unicron. An ancient evil, whose fossilized blood comprises the matter which we call dark energon. As legend would have it." Rachet tells them.
"So you're saying that this Unicron is some kind of Boogeyman?" June asked.
"Boogeyman?" Rachet asked in confusion.
"A creepy shadowy-like figure that hides in the closet or bed. It kills and tortures people, mostly children." Fiona explained.
"That's messed up." Periwinkle murmured in shock.
