Unexpected News

"What do you mean a grenade landed next to her?" A voice shouted.

"Wheeljack threw a grenade at the Predacon who knocked it out of the way and it bounced around before it landed by her peds. She would have been able to jump out of the way, had the Predacon not fried her aft." Sunstreaker explained.

"At least she didn't bump down Magnus to Sargent." Sideswipe added.

"That's the least of our problems. When Optimus returns. He's not going to be happy." Ratchet huffed.

'Dawn Avalon Prime Summers.' a gentle voice I knew all too well said.

'Solus. Its been a while. Almost a year now.' I looked around the darkness and saw her standing there with a small smile.

'It has. I also apologize for missing your birthday.' she walked up to me and I knelt. 'Do not bow, sister.'

'But.' I was cut off by her giving me a hug. It was one that meant something was wrong. 'Solus, what's going on?'

'All traces of your humanity is gone. You'll never be able to wear clothing again. Your smaller form has faded away and become just your Prime body now.' Solus Prime broke the hug and placed her servos on my shoulders.

'I still have my holoform.' I reminded her, trying to at least make this into a good thing. 'And, I wont have to worry about being squished if I lose contact with the Sun Saber.'

'About that...' she looked at the relic resting around my wrist.

'Primus. Don't tell me. It's been destroyed.' I groaned.

'No. I'm afraid you have to choose if it will be a great sword like the Star Saber or the Double Bladed sword like Sentinel/yours.' she tapped the relic on my wrist and it changed into two separate weapons. The double sword or the original Sun Saber. 'It will still be the Sun Saber, but its appearance will be the only thing different about it. Don't worry, it'll still glow when you use Matrixial power.'

I looked at the two floating weapons. It was hard. I was a near expert at the double bladed sword, but the Great Sword was more traditional.

'Everyone knows I'm not one to be by the book and traditional.' I wrapped my servo around the double bladed sword.

'You have chosen the Primax Blade and its shield that turns into the Cosmic-Rust Gun.' Solus waved her servos and the Sun Saber's true form merged with the double bladed weapon as a shield I knew all too well appeared on my back like a pair of wings.

'I'm not going to need a bigger alt-mode am I?' I asked as the Primax Blade transformed down back into a bracelet.

'No, dear sister. Now I must go. Our brothers and even Optimus give their well wishes and congratulations on your miracle sparkbonding with the Prime. Elita is to thank by giving her blessing.' Solus gave me one last hug before fading away. Light flooded my vision and I bolted upright with a gasp.

"Widowed mates can rebond if the fallen mate approves!" I vented heavily as I finally took note of the shocked and confused Autobots.

"What are you talking about?" Smokescreen was the first to break the silence.

"Solus visited me. She and the other Original Primes from back home, including the Optimus from there bade me a congratulations on sparkbonding with this Optimus. Saying that Arreis' mother Elita-One blessed our union." I looked at a wide opticed Optimus. "So that was the poke from before the mission."

"Avalon, how are you staying in your Prime form." Arcee motioned to my body. "We removed the Sun Saber from your wrist and then that shield after it appeared."
