The Transformers: The Light That Saves Us All

The Memory of Optimus Prime

3 Earth Days since Dark Cybertron...

The Constructicons raised a statue on Cybertron of Optimus Prime. Comprised of Titanium Allow dipped in gold, everyone from all over the planet came to see it in Iacon. There was no clapping, no cheering, nothing. All was silent until the Constructicons knelt before the statue. Hot Rod walked up to it as he knelt down with Side-Burn and Ultra Magnus. Hot Rod shed a tear as everyone else there did the same. Grimlock fell to his Knee and planted his sword in front of the statue. He turned and walked away as Hot Rod looked at him with a raised brow, "Grimlock? Where ya goin' buddy?" The Dinobot turned to him, "To clear my mind. Me Grimlock no longer like it here on Cybertron nor earth... Me think it... it too quiet now." Hot Rod patted his arm, "I know bud. I know." Grimlock nodded and walked away and into the sea of rust as he put on a cloak and walked on, embracing the emptiness and hopelessness of the unknown part of the planet. Hardhead walked up to Magnus and shook his head, "Sir. What now?" Magnus turned to him and then back to the statue, "We mourn, my friend... We Mourn..." Hardhead nodded as everyone there was silent. No movement, just the winds of the storms beyond the city and Grimlock's lone stomps through it.

On Earth, Hoist, Grapple, Thundercracker and Kup set up an Optimus statue as well. Everyone stood and saluted it. Spike, Charlie, Buster and everyone else stood silently and watched. Many people from across the planet came to see the statue of the great Leader.

Megatron sat on his chair as he looked at an old holo-photo of him, Optimus, Elita, Magnus, Soundwave, and Kup before the war. Shockwave walked in as Megatron shook his head, "Why?" Shockwave stood still, "I do not know sir." Megatron looked up at him, "Are you well now?" Shockwave nodded, "100%" Megatron nodded, "Make some drones. Find out where the entity that possessed you is hiding in our universe..." Shockwave shook his head, "I'm sorry sir... but you're no longer in command... and I already did per Commander Starscream's Orders." He walked away as Soundwave watched in secret. He held an Autobot logo as he walked to his personal lab and began working on something, something rather unexpected.

After the ceremony, Magnus and Hot Rod walked to his office in Iacon, "Sir? What do we do now?" Magnus turned to Hot Rod and shrugged as they got a call from Earth and Garrus 9. Springer, Kup, and Brainstorm's holograms showed, "We got a problem. Grimlock walked into the sea of rust. He left his sword at Optimus' memorial." Magnus reported as Hot Rod slumped down in a chair as Magnus nodded, "This is it... The Autobots might be disbanded then." Springer shrugged, "Possibly. No evil con activity, no uprisings, this is too good. Do you think HE gave up after Optimus-?" Brainstorm interrupted, "Possibly sir. Optimus is-... Was... a .1 percenter. There wasn't and there never will be anyone like him." Magnus nodded, "Right now, we just... We need time to heal and relax... Grimlock may have left but we must stand strong. For Earth, for Cybertron and Optimus." Everyone nodded as they said in unison "Till All Are One!" The calls ended as Magnus wiped his optic, "This war was just as needless as all the death and carnage..." Hot Rod left the office and went to his room. He checked the Matrix and nodded, "I know... I'll get you back to Optimus... I just need a ship..." he put the Matrix away and walked out and toward his private garage of sorts. He began working on a fast and small shuttle. Similar to the Defiant from Deep Space Nine.
