The Tales of Opti Prime and Nio

Being A Legend

I stand there. I'm miles from Autobot base. A shard of dark energon lays right at my foot. I think, "Bring me to life. Bring me to life. Bring me to life!" The thing is, I'm tired of being Optimus's little pet. I'm tired of being made fun of, of the jokes and the pranks. And no one believing me... I pick up the shard and hold it up. Optimus is coming this way. I hear him say, "Opti! No! That's suicide!"

I'm literally crying when I say, "I'll die anyway!"

I stuff the shard in my chest! The dark energon is so weakening. I fall over. I can't get up. I can't move. I've gone blind, and I can't hear a thing. This was a bad idea...

Later on, someone is touching me. I can feel it. But I can't hear what they're saying. I can't see them. I feel cold, lifeless, dead. My Matrix, I feel it's energy dying. Heck, I'm dying. When my ears finally let me hear something. "Opti! Opti, why did you do this?! You were the legend."

It is Optimus's voice. And what does he mean by "legend," you ask? Well, I think it's rather stupid, and that it can't be true about me. But, leg...end tells of an Autobot, who would have the worthiness of being a Prime. They would have spark, intelligence, a love and friendship so pure, it was more pure than White Energon, a substance that is rare. White energon is clean, there is no evil in in. It could kill a Deceticon easily if they had the slightest amount of Dark Energon flowing through them. But it is also said that the legend can't do anything to make themself unpure. Such as using Dark Energon, or killing a Prime, or destroying a planet. If I was the legend, I am not anymore. I just did two of those things. I used Dark Energon and I've killed a Prime.

My eyes turn purple as I look up at Optimus. "Being a legend... Is... Too much... To bear..." I say, sitting still. I lay my head back down and close my eyes. I let myself become one with the universe.
