Of Drones and Logic

Absolute End

AN: Contains spoilers for the final episode of Murder Drones. And while that series has finally come to an end, there's more to be done with this story. Lots more. Just because this chapter is the ODAL version of the series finally, the story will continue on. Yes, ODAL will get a 2nd season. Maybe a 3rd? We'll see. But for now, enjoy.

------------------------------------------------------------

Cybertron, the Golden Age.

An old cybertronian sorted through the old archives of the Iacon hall of records, looking through them before deciding where they should go.

The red and purple coloured mech stroked his long metallic beard in thought with a rather anxious expression when he stumbled upon one particular finding: A rune that holds records of what is to come in the future.

One of the pages of the Covenant of Primus.

"Do not fret over making your presence known to me, my student, for there is no need. Please come in." The old mech assured the red and blue cybertronian standing at the entrance to the elder's office.

"Forgive me for my unannounced visit, Alpha Trion." The young mech apologised to his mentor who turns to him as he continues to enter the office.

"I knew you were returning to the hall of records after your visit to Kaon, Orion Pax. Whether you were announcing it or not. No apology is required. Now tell me, how was your time with Megatronus?" Alpha Trion asked his student curiously, fully facing him.

"It went well, Alpha Trion. We discussed over Cybertron's caste system giving by the high council and what should be done for equality among our people."

"Yes... the Golden Age is not as golden as one might think." Alpha Trion mused disapprovingly. He knew as well as his student that something must be done with the corruption among Cybertron's leadership for the good of the people.

"However, that is not what I wish to speak with you about." Orion admitted, receiving a curios gaze from the ancient Prime.

"Oh?"

"I have discovered one particular finding that surrounds the lore of the Primes. One that I wish to speak with you about for some time. I believed that since you are one of the Thirteen, I hoped that you will shed some light on the subject." Orion explained and the elder stroke his beard in thought.

"I see. You have believed right, my student. Now tell me, what is it that you've uncovered?"

Orion nodded.

"It is an old historical document that dates back to Cybertron's beginning. It speaks of a form of... ritual."

Alpha Trion stopped stroking his beard, his optics widening slightly.

"Ritual?"

"Yes. According to the document, this ritual is used to allow a Prime to... transcend death and return to the realm of the living as someone anew. What does it all mean, Alpha Trion?" Orion asked and Alpha Trion hummed to himself for a moment before letting out a sigh.

"Giving the many questions you no doubt have, perhaps I should tell you of the nature of this ritual." the ancient Prime sighed before telling his student the story.

"As you know, the Allspark is where all extinguished sparks travel to and become one with all that have fallen."

"However, if that extinguished spark is that of a Prime, they have the power to separate themselves from the Allspark and return to the mortal realm."

Orion Pax's optics widened in disbelief at the wise mech's words.

"That's incredible." the young archivist breathed and Alpha Trion nodded.
