Dusk took one step, then another. She didn't maje fast progress, even with the table; hearing odd scrapping noises, Dusk looked down the hallway.
"Hey guys, I...." Her smile swiftly faded away into a look of horror and shock.
"Father!" She screamed. Knockout held her back.
Crosshairs kicked the wall, wailing "Fuckin' starscream! The coward hid behind a wall!" Brains appeared from his hiding place.
"Oh no....." Ratchet took one look at the wounds, and shook his head.
"I fear the wounds are.... fatal." He stated. Dusk broke free from Knockout, and ran to her father's side.
"Dad, you can't die!" Dusk cried. Optimus looked toward his daughter.
He gasped "Do not grieve, sweetie. Soon.... I will become one with tye Matrix." He coughed up energon then continued "Dusk, it is to you, my darling, that I pass the Matrix of Leadership, as it was.... passed to me."
Dusk sobbed "But dad.... I'm.... I'm just a soldier..... I'm not ready." Prime's optics flickered.
"Nor was I... But one day... an Autobot will rise from our ranks.... to light our.... darkest hour." Optimus' s chest ejected the Matrix, it floated above his ruined body.
"Until the day.... 'til all are one." His optics flickered in and out; he smiled slightly then said, his voice almost a whispered "I love you." Prime's optics went dark.
