The Citadel of Light
The three of them had headed towards The Citadel, “We made it?” Straxus had asked of the warrior, “Yes.” Nova told him, relieved and smiling towards the gates as they had opened up, “We should head–” Nova started as a horn was blown, making the three of them all looking around before seeing them, “Mauradicons!” Mentem Ebon went, flying up in the sky before going to attack them.
Straxus, not going to be outdone by his comrade, the warrior had raised his ax and joined him, the three of them going to fight as they had seen that some of the Warriors of Light riding on equine Beast–Types charged down a hill with weapons raised, roaring out, as they had joined, Straxus threw his pickaxe, tearing through a bot and another right before it had landed into the helm of another.
Nominus who had approached them, went and knelt down, letting his ax cut through a Mauradicon in half before he had went and pulled a upwards swing on the next and cleaving them in half, as he had done as much, the calvary that was coming crashed into the enemy as Mentem Ebon had brought one up from the skies before dropping them to a deadly height.
Suffice it to say, the Uncreator’s followers were being torn to pieces, Straxus taking his pick and used it to block an attack from one of The Warriors of Light, “We’re with Nova!” Straxus said as Mentem Ebon landed by him, the calvary nodded as they heard another scream, making them look to see that there was a Beast–Type approaching, one that was large with a crown of horns.
He was charging forward, throwing the corpses off of their horns and smashing the helms of those beneath them, giving of a roar that seemed to terrify others as the blue beast had charged them again, making the Mauradicons try to escape, making the Calvary and Nova cheer as Straxus and Mentem Ebon approached the Beast–Type that was covered in spilled Energon.
“Well met, Thunderhoof of The Forgotten Plains.” Straxus said to his fellow Maximal who simply lowered his helm for the message tied there, Straxus took it and saw that there were eight seals that were on it, “Ah, I believe that this is for your Prime.” he had said, offering it to Nova who nodded, The Stallion Beast–Types watching Thunderhoof as Nova had rushed to the citadel.

Prima was approaching with a broken bow, it seemed every time he had went and fought, his weapon would end up destroyed, “Nova!” The Prime had said, “What news do you bring?” he had asked, “I bring tidings from The Primes! Brought forth by the messenger Thunderhoof!” he said, pointing to the mechanical stag that had approached with Straxus and Mentem Ebon.
Prima nodding to the trio as he had went and opened the scroll, reading it through and seeing what had been written there, “Excellent! Micronus will be pleased!” he had told his warrior, remembering the monk that with his disciples were able to move to a place that they could not see or understand, it was interesting, but something that Nova tried not to think of since if something could be that small than the opposite is true.
“Come, we will join him at The Mountaintop!” Prima said, “But what of the Seven–?” “The Eight.” Prima interrupted, “It appears that The Darklands had joined with them, “I will tell him and together we will join with my Brother Nexus Prime and we will be ten.” Prima said to them, hearing that, they had smiled and had started to cheer at that as they had thought on the shoring up on their numbers.
“May we join?” Straxus had asked as the other two followed, “As representatives of the Eight.” he clarified to him, hearing that, Prima nodded to this, “Yes, you and your… companions may join us.” he had said, hearing that, Thunderhoof had snorted while Mentem Ebon had readjusted, “Then let us gather our resources and make haste!” he had told them, making Straxus smile as they went to do as much.
As they had split, Straxus went by the side of Nova, “Tell me Nova, how did your Prime acquire a Citadel such as this?” Straxus asked, “Ah, well Illustris would explain it better.” Nova said, looking for his friend and seeing him, “Illustris!” Nova shouted, making a more bulky bot that was working with blades and trying to fix some of the less damaged weapons that were there.
“Well met Nova and friend,” he said, approaching the two, “How may I assist you?” he had asked, “Straxus wishes to know the tale of The Citadel.” he had said, making Illustris chuckle, “Ah, it is a simple tale.” Illustris had told them, “When Prima was leading us through the wastes, we were desperate when a strange mech had approached us,” Illustris had said, “He called himself 000000004,” he said.
“And his single optic had shined forth a beam of light which seemed to reveal The Citadel to us.” Illustris had told them, “When Prima had walked through the gates, he had seen a femme, barely alive with a blade in her servos as she sat on the throne, The femme revealed herself as one of The Knights of Cybertron, and she was dying.” Illustris had told them, shocking the two bots.
They had heard of The Knights, The first bots besides the Titans that were their firstborn, they were taught by them and as they had grown and become more when they were betrayed by Mortilus, all those that followed him marched under the Uncreators banner and in the end, only the Mauradicons remained, but to hear that one of them had survived… “We all bore witness as she made her final act,” he told them.
“The Knight had approached him and had knighted Prima, telling him to unite their people and to save Cybertron from The Uncreator.” Illustris told them, happy to have been here to witness it, “That was how Prima became The Last Knight of Cybertron.” Illustris said to them, making them look at it with interest as the Equine Beast–Types approached, ready for the journey.

The Northern Mountains
The group had ridden out and after a Astrocycle had found themselves at the base of the Northern mountains, Straxus riding Thunderhoof who was leading the front and had nearly been shot by a arrow, stopping just short as Prima and the others had joined, “Hold your fire!” Prima shouted, “It is I! Prima! And I come with friends!” he said, though honestly he wasn’t sure of that.
At that, the monks of Micronus Prime had come from their blinds, all of them cautious but showing no fear, “Well met, Prima of The Citadel.” one of the monks said, “Our Prime is currently in the… Subatomic as he calls it.” the monk said, none of them truly understanding it but knowing that it was something that he was attempting to build into something that few could understand.
“Shall we wait for him?” Prima had said to them and the monks let them in, the bots there seemed more benign, but as they had headed further in, Nova saw that there were a few warriors that were there as well with blades ready as they approached the space that one of the monks was waiting at, “Dei Atlas!” Prima said as he clasped servos with the mech, “How fares Micronus?” he asked.
“Well met, Prima.” Dei Atlas said, “My Prime is currently building within the subatomic, seeking wisdom in the action.” Dei Atlas told him as Nova approached, “Greetings, I am Nova of Nova Peak.” he said to him, the two of them clasping servos as all of a sudden, there was an orb of energy that made them shield their optics before another bot had appeared before them.
The small bot had appeared before them, floating for a moment before he went onto his pedes, “Well met, Prima.” he said to The Radiance who clasped servos with him, “Well met, Micronus.” he said to him, “I bring news from our brother, Nexus Prime.” he said, offering the letter to Micronus who read it, reading it over before looking up to the other of their little alliance.
“If this is true, than we will grow to become ten soon.” Micronus had said to his friend and ally, “Yes, but first, we must meet them to see if they are trustworthy.” he had said to the small Prime, Micronus nodded, they trusted Nexus, but these other Seven they only knew in writing and through words, they would need to be met so that the two of them can learn if they could be trusted.
“Let us–” “Lord Micronus.” one of his monks said, rushing over to him with a letter that had a different seal, “A Message from Quintus Prime.” he said, making them look towards him in confusion, “Who is Quintus Prime?” Nova asked of the Primes, “Quintus Prime is a scholar of the material,” Dei Atlas said, “He, with his followers in their coastal settlement, attempt to discover the secrets of all, including the Horned Moon.”
“Well met, I am Nova of Nova Peak.” he told him as they clasped servos, “Well met, I am Dei Atlas of The Northern Mountains.” he said with a grin, “I apologize, Prima, but I must meet the Eight of them another time.” Micronus said, surprising the assembled group, “But why, Lord Prime?” Straxus had asked, “What would make this one Prime more vital than eight others?” he questioned.
“And who are you?” Micronus asked, seeing a different symbol etched onto his plating, “Ah, I am Straxus of The Forgotten Plains, these are my companions, Mentem Ebon and Thunderhoof, We serve The Maximo.” he said, The Beasts bowed their helms and were surprised when he returned the gesture, “Quintus Prime is intelligent and with that intelligence, we have found a way to face off against his acolytes.
They all saw the importance of this, the Acolytes of Unicron were more dangerous than the average Mauradicon, able to actually turn another into a follower of the Uncreator thanks to the Dark Energon and apparatus they grow, for there to be a process that allowed them to face The Acolytes without fear of turning… “Understood, Straxus said, “Then may I make a suggestion?” he offered, making the curious…

The Mithric Sea
Dei Altas alongside Nova with Straxus, had approached the settlement, what Straxus proposed was that the three of the journey there, each a representative of a Prime and as the three approached the location when they saw that there was a group approaching with strange bow like spears now, “Well met, strangers.” a strange bot said as he approached them.
The bot was robed in a multitude of tendrils and cloth with six servos with six optics, a ring behind him with a glowing stone there as the creature had approached which was when they had realized who it was needed, “Well met Quintus Prime,” Dei Atlas said, “It is I, Dei Atlas. And with me are Nova, representative of Prima and Straxus, representative of Liege Maximo.” he said.
“Ah, yes,” Quintus Prime said, “Tell me, where is Micronus Prime?” Quintus had said, “Ah, I can answer that.” Straxus said, “Micronus Prime has gone to The Crystal Ruins to meet my Liege and Seven other Primes.” he had said to Quintus, at that, it seemed that he was calculating it until eventually he had answered, “Ah, I can understand that.” he said to them.
“I am glad to hear the news,” he had said, “The more allies we have, the longer we are able to withstand The Horned Moon.” he had said to them as Nova noticed that there was some sort of disturbance, “Lord Prime–” He started when a giant Beast–Type appeared looking half feline and half fish, who was meowing, Straxus raised his pickaxe and was ready to fight as Dei Atlas raised his servos in peace.
“Roar! Who dares to trespass on the domain of… FLUFFYPAWS!” The creature said, confusing the trio at that while Quintus just looked tired, “Ignore him.” Quintus said as Fluffypants had started to laugh, melting as he had went and became a puddle in the form of a Mech with a glowing part that seemed to be constantly changing but was obviously the face plate, “Greetings!” the bot said to them.
“I am Amalgamous Prime!” he said, his body splitting in the top half into three torsos that had had all bowed towards the trio, shocking the bots there, “How are you…?” Dei Atlas had asked of him, making Amalgamous chuckle, “I remember being down there and always changing, this symbol in front of me being my first memory.” he said before morphing into the symbol.
It was the symbol of Adaptus, blessed with many shapes who was able to create their planet as well as the ring that had captured The Uncreator the first time, making the bots there look in surprise, “You must have been blessed by Adaptus.” Dei Atlas said, “000000004 and Quintus don’t think that.” Amalgamous, making Nova and Straxus look in surprise, “000000004?” he asked.
That had made them look in surprise, “Yes, what is wrong?” Quintus asked while Amalgamous had smiled, “Oh, you must have met him too! The really smart guy that seems to know more than Quintus?” he said, making said Prime glare towards the other, all the while Amalgamous was becoming artwork for the moment, “So there are Ten others like us?” The shifting one said.
“Yes, and Lord Prima would be honored to meet you both.” Nova had said with Dei Atlas and Straxus in agreement, “Then I would be more than happy to accompany you.” Amalgamous said, becoming an Equine form and ready to join them, “Jhiaxus, come forth.” Quintus Prime said, “Yes, Sire.” A bot that seemed to always be crouching said to Quintus, “Accompany me,” he had ordered.
“The you had assisted in the acolyte treatment, I will need your assistance if we must teach others.” Quintus had said, reacting to that, Quintus bowed as Amalgamous had transformed into a six legged reptile, curious and watching and he had gotten up and grew a bipedal torso, “Let us make haste!” he said to them, already becoming a flyer now while the others went to follow them.

The Crystal Ruins
The warriors of Prima were all nervous as they had followed their warrior Prime, seeing that there were other warriors out and about, watching them, the crimson emblem looking like the maw of a predator, it made them nervous as one that was all dark metal and spikes approached, his servos burning bright as two twins with a horned purple mech there as well, all looking ready to fight.
“Well Met!” Prima said to them, “I am Prima of The Citadel of Light!” he had said to them, which was when the monster had approached them, “Well met, I am Megatronus of The Darklands.” he said, offering his burning to him, Prima glared before he had went and took his servo, the two of them clasping servos and glaring as Prima crushed his with his grip and Megatronus in turned burned his.
“I take it you were the invader who nearly killed the others?” Prima had said, “I felt a pull, one that made me think that they were servants of The Uncreator.” He had said, this made Prima glare before he spoke again, “Then I hope you do not think the others I brought the same.” Prima said as a Minicon had approached him, “Well met, I am Micronus Prime.” he had said, bowing his helm to The Darklander.
Megatronus glared towards him before they had seen that there was another bot that had approached, “Well met, I am Tyrest.” he had said to them, having come with them to The Citadel of Light, that had made them curious as Solus and the others had approached the group, “Well met, Prima,” The builder had said as Cyclonus had watched them, ready to kill if needed.
“And you are Micronus?” she had asked of them and hearing that, they had nodded towards each other before there was a noise, making them all look to see that there was a Beast–Type that was larger than any that they had ever seen before, it was incredible, but also worrying, “ARCHERS!” Megatronus and Prima had both shouted as they had glared at the beast that approached.
“HARK! Prepare yourselves! For The Primes Quintus and Amalgamous approach!” a voice said, making the Eight others all look in shock and fear as Prima and Micronus had just watched in confusion as the great Beast–Type had landed and changed into a moving puddle of Cybermatter with a strange bot as well as their representatives with them, “Nova!” Prima shouted.
“My Lord.” Nova said, shaking in his pedes from the flight as Amalgamous had started to look around and switching between forms in interest at what was going on, Megatronus looked back to the archers where Galvatron and Arcee were, both joining to aid in the attack before he motioned for them to hold, “You are Quintus and Amalgamous Prime?” Megatornus had asked the strange bots.
“Correct.” Quintus had said as The Primes approached them, as they had went and reunited with their Primes, “Now then, we were told that this was an alliance?” Quintus had said, bowing his helm to Micronus who returned the gesture, “Yes,” Prima said, “And was Micronus correct in the fact you had a measure against The Acolytes?” He asked, making the others start to murmur.
“Yes,” Quintus had said to them, “But they are only a digit of the threat, we will need all of our forces and more against The Uncreator.” he had said to them, “If I may,” Tyrest had said to them, “I know of a way to bolster your forces.” Tyrest had said to them, making the Primes and those close all look towards the bit, “How?” Alpha Trion asked in curiosity at that.
“In the days of The Knights,” Tyrest had said to them, “When The Five were still united, The Mad God had dreamed of death and conquest, he decided to create warriors to lead the charge.” Tyrest had told them, “They were called the Sentinel Supremes and they were armed for War.” he had said to them.
“Discovering this, the Gods had joined together for The God War, the Sentinel Supremes were not put online yet, and so, when the war was ended, The Gods had sealed away The Sentinel Supreme’s, their memory wiped but ready to fight when they were awakened by those chosen by Primus.” he had told the bots there, making Prima antsy, “And where are these supposed Sentinel Supremes?” he had asked.
Hearing that, Tyres had chuckled, “On me.” he had told them, starting to walk away, “Should we trust him? What about the treatment?” Micronus had asked, “We are outnumbered,” Quintus had said, “It is only logical that we’d bolster our numbers.” he had said as they had went and followed Tyrest, all of them curious on what it was that the gods had left behind.

The Temple of Adaptus, Iacon
The bots were all curious on why they were here in Iacon, the only good things about this place was Rivets Field as Tyrest had went and started to walk down into a cavern, “If this is a trap, “I will melt your helm off before I fall.” Megatronus threatened, “Megatronus!” Prima went, “He is right to be cautious,” Solus said, “You know this Tyrest, not us.” she had said to him just as they approached a door.
It was the symbol of Adaptus etched into the doorway, “The symbol of Adaptus!” Alpha Trion had said, shocked by the sight before him as Tyrest had pulled out a key, “Now then, welcome to The resting place of The Sentinel Supremes.” he had said before the door had opened up and once it had done as much, the Primes were all shocked at the sight that was before them.
They were bots, bots that were larger than any that they had seen, not the size of Metroplex, Metrotitan and Chela, but they were still incredible as they saw the in status optics of the bot in front of them, “Are they…?” Solus asked, “Incomplete.” Tyrest said, “They need help to be awakened.” he had said as they saw that there was a symbol on each of them, “What is this?” Alpha Trion had asked.
“Their designations.” Tyrest had told them, “This one is their leader, Omega Supreme.” he had said to them and that had made them curious, “Alright then, let’s get to work.” Solus said as she, Quintus, Micronus and Alpha Trion got to work on awakening them while Tyrest left them, hoping that The Sentinel Supremes would be able to help them defeat their enemy once more.
