If Lockdown wanted Vengeance

A Tale of Two Creators

"Whoa whoa WHOA. What do you mean YOUR SISTER built Optimus? It was Tarn, Kaon and Tesaurus who built him...right?" I ask.

How is it possible that Ruby's sister is Optimus' Creator? Then why are 3 of the DJD saying they're his Creators? Is Ruby telling the truth, or is she lying? Ruby looked very confused when I said Tarns, Tesaurus' and Kaon's names.

"I've never heard those names before in my life. But I know for a fact that my twin had assembled Optimus Prime, for I had witnessed his construction process." Ruby said.

"But....Nevermind. Can you explain EXACTLY how all this came together? Please?" I ask nicely.

"If you think it will shed some light, then I can." Said Ruby.

~Ruby~

My sister, Sapphire, and I were very close until one unfaithful day. Before that, I had noticed some odd changes in my twin. Her behavior became more aggressive, she spent more time alone on her projects, and she started to keep secrets from me.

One of those secrets was Optimus Prime. He was the projects that she mainly focused on, nothing else. Sapphire was determined to create a Cybertronian all on her own, for her and I had made many Cybertronians as a team. I had no problem with what she was doing at that moment in time, but then I learned of what she wanted the mech to do.

Sapphire was resting after a long days work of progressing on Optimus Prime, so I had snuck in to see what she was working on. I quietly crept into my sister's laboratory and looked around. Plans for creations were scattered about the room in a messy matter, all of them trash.

The laboratory was large. Very large. I had entered the room where her secret project lay on a berth, my optics widened at the sight of him. Did she do this all by herself? That's amazing. I saw that everything electrical about the mech was functioning properly, the plan for him on a desk. I picked up the plan and it read,

'Project 2795: Optimus Prime'

"Wow Sapphire, this is impressive for you to have done this on your own." I whispered to myself.

Then I noticed the objective for Optimus, 'Destroy planet Earth to restore Cybertron'. I had heard of Earth, a planet like our own only with organics called humans and less advanced. Destroying a planet similar you ours? That, I was NOT going to tolerate.

I had to do something, I went over to Optimus' protoform to check his processor circuitry. The objective was installed, I had to change it. I tampered with his processor.

'New Objective: Protect all sentient beings, no matter the cost.'

I sighed of relief and put everything I touched back where it was. I snuck out of the laboratory without a sound, heading to rest. I had felt guilty about messing with my sister's creation, but she was using him for evil. I do wish to see Cybertron back to what it was, but it's not worth destroying life in another solar system.

|Next day|

I was simply minding my own business while floating past my sister's laboratory, when I was easily grabbed and pulled in. Being thrown onto a table with multiple sharp tools, I cried out in pain and fell onto the floor. I looked up go see my twin sister, furious.

"HOW COULD YOU TAMPER WITH MY CREATION?!" Sapphire screamed at me.

I got up while holding my leaking wounds, hissing and trying not to look weak.

"You were trying to destroy a planet with a race similar to us! They have nothing to do with Cybertrons restoration!" I yelled back at her.

Sapphire grabbed me by the neck and pulled me off the ground with ease, trying to choke me. She made me look into her more purplish optics, I saw hate and fury within them.

"It took me years to create this mech, I created a plan to restore our home! Don't you want to see our home without possibly dying of the toxicity?" Sapphire asked with a growl.

"I do...But there's...more ways to...do it..." I was struggling to talk with how tight her grip was.

Sapphire growled in anger and turned towards a portal I didn't notice the night before. She activated it, a swirling blue vortex opened and she typed in random coordinates. Sapphire glared at me one last time.

"I will carry through with my plans, and you won't be here to stop me." Sapphire threw me into the vortex.

"Then I ended up here on this Cybertron, but this was generations ago. I didn't trust any of the Cybertronians because I was afraid they were my twin's evil creations, so I created the cyber-organics to kill them off." I hung my head down sadly.
