Optimus woke up helm pounding. He looked around as he heard rocks crumbling around. The prime rubbed his optics and groaned touching his side. He looked down to the warlord below him. His circuits were fried as Optimus wined shaking his servo as he burnt himself. He looked around more to see there wasn't much to do. He pushed up on the ceiling and grunted as he couldn't get it to move. There was the sound of rocks coming down and the ground shacking. Megatron's optics shot open and he shot up pushing Optimus down. he held his servos up to the ceiling as some pieces chipped off.

Optimus groaned as his body was already beaten enough. Megatron looked around and groaned as rocks fell atop of the rock he was holding. The weight grew and so did the pain. A cable in the warlord's arm snapped and hissed. Optimus looked at Megatron and got up setting his servos onto the parts of the roof he could reach. The two looked at each other and still gave hatful grins. Megatron ducked his helm down putting all the pressure on his back. Optimus blinked a couple times, arms shaking. The dark energon was still affecting him.

Megatron groaned and forced to stand tall. his legs shook violently and made Optimus worry. "You need to rest. Your strength is giving out." Megatron turned his helm over to prime slowly. "You're the one whos losing strength." Optimus let go of the rock and walked over to the corner. He sat down and placed the energon cubes he had stored on the ground. Megatron clapped down onto his one knee and yelled lifting the rock up. Optimus ducked his helm down and his spark raced. Could this be it? How the war ends?

"Megatron will we survive?" The warlord snarled and shot a nasty look at the prime. He didn't answer and grit his teeth forcing more strength out of his body. Optimus looked over as saw two thick slabs of rock. He grabbed them and placed them up like pillars pushing them into the rock above. Megatron dropped to his servos and knees venting heavily. Optimus grabbed the warlord and dragged him over near the energon cubes. "Easy." Megatron snarled and pushed away from him. "I don't need assist." Optimus looked down as the warlord sat away from him. Optimus looked through his memory files, optics flashing on and off.

Orion walked down the street to the Iacon Library to start another day of work. The sun soon was shaded and the young mech looked up to see a big slab coming down. He yelled and tucked away. The other cybertronians gasped and yelled backing away. A mech pushed Orion out into the street. The young mech opened his optics and looked around. The others helped him up as the police ran over. Orion saw a servo from under the rock and his optics shot open. He pushed away from the crowd and got around the cops. He grabbed a part of the slab and tried to lift it. The digits curled into the ground. Orion grunted and yelled as he couldn't get the slab up.

"Someone help me!" He cried. The cops walked over and tried to pull up the slab but they couldn't do it together. The officer called form the combiners. Orion yelled and beat on the slab knocking small pieces off. The combiners combined together and lifted up the slab. Some medical officers ran in and dragged the mech out. Orion walked with them and got into the other combiner who was an ambulance. The mech looked over at Orion and groaned. "You ok." Orion grabbed his servo and cried.

Optimus looked at the warlord who laid on his side. The metal expanded as he must've been in recharge. Optimus walked over and saw his optics were open. "What are you doing?" The silver mech glanced up and looked away groaning. Optimus backed up and walked to his corner. he laid down and got as comfterable as he could and fell into recharge.
