Transformers: The Last Ones

Chapter 17: One Shall Fall

For a short second, Megatron had an evil smile on his scarred facial plate, but then, it was replaced with a look of shock and disbelief. At the same time, Daphne's eyes widened in shock, tears still rolling down her cheeks, whilst Blades looked like she was gonna burst out in happiness.

Braedimus was sitting forward, his optics closed, and his left servo was wrapped around Megatron's deadly blade. Megatron couldn't believe it! How did the Last of the Primes do that? Braedimus then opened his optics, which were now a bright flaming blue, almost snow white in colour.

I remembered black skies
The lightning all around me
I remembered each flash
As time began to blur
Like a startling sight
That fate had finally found me

Braedimus suddenly got up, standing up to his feet, with Megatron's sword still in his servo. Megatron tried pushing back, but to no avail. The Autobot leader seemed to have bequeathed a very powerful strength, even stronger than Megatron.

Braedimus's bright blue optics stared coldly at the Cybertronian warmonger. It seemed to make Megatron stop for a second. "Megatron..." He clenched his right fist, and reared it back. "Be gone!!" He roared, then gave a powerful uppercut to the silver gladiator, punching him about 50ft away.

And your voice was all I heard
And I get what I deserve

Blades, after seeing Braedimus get back up, felt a new power inside her Spark. She felt stronger now, as if she was given an enhancement. She leapt to her feet in a flash, then with a butterfly kick, kicked a distracted Vector in the helm, sending him into a rock, and it crumbled under his weight.

"You're not my father!" Blades declared, then grabbed the Decepticon prince by the throat, making him look her in the optic. "My father would never turn to the dark side, and would NEVER stoop so low to be Megatron's lackey!" She then threw him down off the cliff, and followed after him.

So give me reason
To prove me wrong
To wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross
The distance in your eyes

Daphne's eyes couldn't have been wider at what she was witnessing. Her boyfriend, who was inches from certain death, was still standing, and she could feel the raw energy emanating from him. It was like she was standing next to a warming wave of sun beams. Then, she felt something inside her, and clutched her heart. She looked down at her chest, and saw that there was a blue glow coming through the white of her shirt.

'Was it this glow?' She thought. 'Is it a reaction from the Matrix of Leadership? Or something stronger?'

Megatron, after he got back to his feet, roared in anger, and charged at Braedimus, who was slowly walking forward. Then, he began to charge at his enemy also. The ancient enemies let out furious yells as they charged head on toward one another, their thunderous footsteps echoing across the plateau. Upon reaching each other, the two hated enemies delivered powerful punches into one another's faces, Megatron hitting Braedimus's helm in the side, as Braedimus gave an uppercut, throwing off tons of sparks. Braedimus recovered from the punch, and began to throw punches like he was a kick-boxer.

Give me reason
To fill this hole
Connect the space between
Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies
Across this new divide
