Prolog- Right after the second battle of the gods on Paix
Primus rubbed his optics, the battle with Unicron had taken a lot out of him. Yawning, he entered his private quarters to find it ransacked.
�What the�.� Primus said in shock as he looked about. All of his teasures were gone, stolen.
�Lose something?� Unicron whispered from a dark corner, his optics a glow.
Primus growled as he began to move forward. Unicron laughed as he disappeared from sight.
�Come back here!� Primus screamed as he shook his fist in the air. Furious, Primus went on a rampage, destroying his private quarters.
* * *
(Night on Paix, Kynight is alone in the manor, trying to clean up the mess after the battle.)
Kynight paused as she picked up pieces to a lamp.
Primus appeared at Ky�s old desk, sitting on the edge.
�Ah!� Kynight gasped as she fell backwards onto the floor. Primus jumped off the desk and bent down looking at Kynight.
�Such a precious thing you are.� Primus said as he touched Kynight�s face plate, �Something dreadful has happened, my dear.�
�What?! Has something happened to Eolian? Or..� Kynight began as Primus grabbed her, pulling her up off the floor.
�No.. Unicron has stolen my treasures� gifts, if you will, with special powers, dangerous powers.� Primus said as he looked at his creation, such a strong spirit.
�What can I do against Unicron? What do you want?� Kynight demanded, he was making her mad.
�Unicron threw them out of Paix, into the dimensional grid. Find them for me. Bring them home, they are dangerous. Better they be in your hands, than others.� Primus said with a charming smile. Kynight turned her thoughts inward, she didn�t trust Primus, but these gifts could be dangerous to Paix.
�Very well. I will return your gifts to you.� Kynight said as Primus drew closer. Kynight blinked and pulled away.
�You have taken enough from me, you will not take more!� Kynight screamed.
Primus frowned as his optics turned dark, �So be it� for now.�
Kynight looked around, Primus was gone, and she was alone, so alone.
�I promised to return Primus� gifts to Paix, as I promise to return you, my dear brother.�
* * *
(Place, the Manor, very early morning. Many years after Primus� visit.)
�Aarrgghhh!� Kynight screamed as she jumped out of bed. Someone, something was in her home. Running our of her bedroom door, Kynight stopped dead in her tracks. There wasn�t anyone in her home.
�It was a dream. Steel �. Could� a gift of Primus have been found and activated?�. Eolian.� Kynight whispered to herself as she ran towards her study and the com center. She need to get moving, and quickly before the gift was used again.
* * *
�Jeez� I�m coming..� Eolian muttered to herself as she got up to answer the nagging beeping of her com system.
�Who is it??!! And it better be good for this time of night!� Eolian screamed into the screen as Kynight�s faceplate became visible.
�Eolian, no time to waste! Get the Explorer ready we need to leave at once!! Contact Glacterra and Steel and meet me at the pad!!� Kynight ordered as she started to turn around.
�Kynight!! What are you talking about?! What�s wrong? Are you okay?� Eolian asked as she woke up instantly.
�No time!! Go, I�ll explain later!� Kynight ordered as she turned off her screen.
* * *
�I wonder what is going on?� Steel muttered to Glacterra as she began to pre-check the ship.
�It�s going to be a good one� I�m sure.� Glacterra said with a bit of malice.
�Is Kynight here yet?� Eolian demanded as she walked onto the bridge.
�No, she�� Steel began as a breathless Kynight burst onto the bridge.
�Get this ship geared up and ready to jump dimensions! Time is not on our side.� Kynight ordered as she took the command chair.
��Night! What the hell is going on?� Eolian demanded as she took her seat and Glacterra and Steel began to warm up the engines and request lift off instructions.
�One of Primus� gifts has been activated and we need to move it now� There is something very important about. It� I had a dream about it.. a � I can�t explain it, but we must move quickly.� Kynight responded as she began to access the dimensional grid.
�Kynight, I got control on the line.. no one gave us permission to leave on a mission.. You better take it.� Glacterra snorted, someone was going to get a sensor full. Kynight was in a rare mode this night.
Kynight growled as she brought the main viewer up and looked into the face of the being, who was not giving her permission to leave. No one gave Kynight orders, save her family and half the time she didn�t listen to them anyhow.
�You! This is Kynight! You will give this ship permission to leave right this astro-second! Or you will pay the price! Do you understand?� Kynight roared into the viewer as a young fem-bot looked as if she could cry.
�My Lady�s will.� An order fem-bot said as she moved in front of the younger female, �Clearance in.. three astro-minutes..�
Kynight made a face at the viewer, as she leaned back, �So be it� you are forgiven. Continue on.�
The viewer went off and Eolian turned on Kynight, �That was un-called for! That poor trainee! She�ll be a mess forever thanks to you!�
Kynight frowned, �Find out her name and let me know what becomes of her. I�ll fix whatever happens.�
�We�re go� as soon as clearance comes we�ll be on our way.� Steel announced she turned towards Kynight. Glacterra smiled, Kynight was going to get in some big trouble, she could tell by her voice. Things were going to be interesting.
�We have clearance.� Eolian said as she finished her last check.
�Let�s go.. heading sector A-15. Do not go to transit. I will need to do a final check before we cross dimensions.� Kynight ordered as she watched the neural net come down from the ceiling.
�Lifting off..� Steel said as she glanced at the screen.
�Passing Paix�s tower..� Glacterra said as she continued her scan, �Leaving air space.. We�re in space.. Turning towards sector A-15.�
�Slowing.. orbit is solid. Awaiting your orders.� Steel said as she glanced at Kynight� Kynight sighed and focused her mind, opened her thoughts. The Dagger of Knowledge expelled the information into the foreground of Kynight�s mind.
�Re-direct! Sector A-17, prepare to jump. We have to be careful.. The gift of Primus is a shield of some kind with unknown powers. I know it can protect its user from anything.. Save another gift of Primus� and someone is using it right now.� Kynight said as the other three females stared at her.
�Exhaust fumes..� Glacterra murmured as everyone turned determinedly forward.
* * *
�Jump complete.� Eolian sang out, her metal skin was crawling.
�I�m bringing sectors maps up.� Steel called out as Kynight re-focused her thoughts towards the shield.
�I�ve began a scan for high energy output, not reading anything yet.� Glacterra said as she pushed the scanners to their limits.
�Kynight, I have a strange vessel on the outer scanners.� Eolian said as she began to get readings.
�According to the maps we�re in Quint spaces, what are the life reading?� Steel asked as she turned.
�Kynight.� Steel whispered, she was scared. Kynight optics where lit up with a strange power. Everyone turned to look at Kynight.
�We�re too late. The shield�s been here and done its work. Head towards the ship, let�s see if we can�t gather a little more information.� Kynight whispered as her optics began to dim and the neural net re-tracked itself.
�No life reading from the ship.� Eolian stated with a bit of sorrow, the poor souls.
�Jeez! Look at this! This shield must have burned the entire sector!� Glacterra bitched as she took in the sights, �Damn thing needs to belong to us!�
�Glacterra!� Steel gasped, the very thought. Eolian jerked, as she stared at Glacterra.
�No. Glacterra�s right.� Kynight said as she stared at the main viewer, �Such a weapon belongs to Paix. We are not at war with anyone and would never use such weapon.�
Steel nodded, �You�re right Kynight, I�m sorry.�
�Kynight?� Eolian asked as she looked at her cousin.
�Yeah?� Kynight said as she turned to Eolian knowing that she was scared.
�If anything happens I�ve always trusted you.� Eolian said as she gulped a little.
�What the! Eolian, you�re whacked! With �Night with us, we�re as safe as a newborn!� Glacterra scoffed, �Damn cry babies!�
�Uh! You are so�!� Steel began as Kynight shook her head. The only thing Glacterra feared was losing her, because she was the only thing Glacterra cared about.
�Alright. Give me a scan. Prepare to dock with the ship. I want to see the damage. I want the records downloaded to our computers. Steel, Eolian, stay here and keep a watch for other ships or strange power readings. Well, anything out of the ordinary. Glacterra, old gal, it�s you and me.� Kynight said with a warm, knowing smile. Glacterra returned the smile, knowing Kynight would never leave her as others had done. They were sisters of the spirit, wild and crazy.
Kynight nudged Glacterra mentally, sending amusing thoughts with the eye of Unicron as they left the bridge.
�Ha.� Glacterra said as she and Kynight opened the docking doors.
�Oh, come on, they�re not that bad. They just need a little faith.� Kynight stated as she ducked, entering the other ship.
�Please.. They�re scared nearly senseless! You and me know how it is. If you gotta do it, do it! Don�t cry about it. If not then get out of my way, I�ll do it!� Glacterra said with disgust. Kynight laughed as they walked down the hall towards the bridge.
Glacterra stopped short as she entered the bridge, �Death.. not pretty, but part of life that we all need to accept.�
Kynight took a breath as she entered the bridge, burned out shells lay about. Blackened and without optics, Kynight winced, such a terrible sight.
Kneeling, Kynight whispered a prayer, �Blessed be your souls to Primus. May your journey be within still energy. Blessed be to Primus, lord of light.�
�Poor things.. I actually feel a little sorry for them.� Glacterra said as she pulled a shell out of its chair, letting it hit the floor with a bang. Sitting down, Glacterra hit a few buttons and lights began to flash.
�Strange.. the ships in prefect working order.� Glacterra said as a confused look entered her faceplate.
�The ship wasn�t the Shields target. This is not a good way to die! This��. This is not right.� Kynight muttered, no one should have to go through something like this.
�Who said life was right? Or fair? What�s done is done, let�s figure out what to do now because now is all we have, �Night.� Glacterra said with hate.
Kynight nodded, Glacterra spoke from her own experience, from her own pain.
�You�re right. We can�t do anything for them, but we can return the Shield to its rightful owner and stop this madness.� Kynight said as she began to punch up the last minutes aboard the ship. Images floated on the screen.
�Un.. Kynight do we have the choice of turning back?� Glacterra asked as the screen went dark.
�No.. I don�t think we�ll let the others see this.� Kynight said as she turned towards Glacterra.
�Good idea.. at least we know that Starscream has the shield.� Glacterra said as she looked at Kynight.
�Yeah and its Primus� Sapphire Shield.. which seems to have the power to burn selected objects and protect its user against any attack.� Kynight said as a determined look entered her faceplate.
�This is going to be interesting, isn�t it. � Glacterra said as she got up, chuckling to herself.
* * *
Historical facts; Starscream has conquered Cybertron by using the power of the Sapphire Shield. Any one who has stood in his way, now lies nailed to the wall of his throne room. Starscream has left a few Decepticons around and many Autobots to serve him. In truth though, Starscream is lonely and has taken Hot Rod as his personal slave, due to the time that Rodimus Prime had left him go, when he was a ghost. (Note- check cartoon- Starscream�s ghost.)
�Come now, Roddy, I know you don�t like my ideas, but if you don�t agree I�ll put one of your Autobots up there.� Starscream said as he looked up at his re-designed wall full of transformer bodies.
�Lord Starscream, it�s beautiful! The color combination is stunning.� Hot Rod said with forced joy.
�Now, I know you had it in you! Yes, I did well when I keep you alive. Besides, I did owe you one for when I was a ghost��� hahaha!� Starscream laughed as he raised his glass to Galvatron�s body, toasting himself.
Hot Rod looked down below Galvatron�s body at Optimus�. �Why? Why did this happen? How could it? �
For a second Hot Rod thought of jumping Starscream, knowing he would fail and another Autobot would pay for it. �Damn it! With that Shield, Starscream holds all the cards and I can�t do anything.�
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Starscream stared with hate at the door.
�I�ll take care of it, Lord Starscream.� Hot Rod quickly said as he practically ran to the door.
�Springer! Are you mad!?� Hot Rod fumed, �Of all the dumbest things to do!�
�I know, but there�s a ship heading this way.� Springer said nervously as he glanced about.
�Uh? A ship here? Are you sure?� Hot Rod asked in shock, no one came to Cybertron anymore.
�Yeah, who would come here?� Springer asked as the door suddenly flew open to a fuming Starscream.
�What is going on?� Starscream screamed as both Springer and Hot Rod jumped away from him.
�Lord Starscream! There� There�s a ship approaching Cybertron.� Hot Rod burst out as Starscream began to pull his Shield out.
�What?� Starscream stopped in his tracks and stared, �Who would do such a thing? Maybe they�re mad, or just stupid.�
�My Lord, what shall we do?� Hot Rod said as he bowed, maybe Starscream would meet his match or someone else would become his amusement for a while.
�Welcome our guests, while I prepare myself.� Starscream said with a twist of his faceplate.
* * *
�Hey, Kynight?� Steel called as she turned around.
�I know, the welcoming wagon is here. Eolian, what ever happens make sure the Explorer doesn�t fall into their hands.� Kynight ordered as she stood up.
�Yes, Kynight.� Eolian gulped, as the screen showed Ultra Magnus, as hard as ever.
�You will surrender immediately.� Ultra Magnus boomed out.
�As you wish. Give us docking information and we land peacefully.� Kynight said calmly as a surprised look came over his face.
�Uh� follow us in.� Ultra Magnus said with enough confusion to make Kynight smile.
�Crazy like a cyberfox! They�re totally confused! I hope this gives us an edge.� Glacterra said as she moved quickly at her station.
�Okay, I�ve done a scan. High energy reading from the Tower. I think he�s watching us.� Steel said as she cringed.
�Most of the technology is well below ours too.� Glacterra said with a wicked smile.
�By Primus, you�re all crazy!� Eolian cried.
�By Primus, my rear-end assembly! He got us into this mess!� Kynight yelled as the ship jerked.
�Tractor beam! We�re going in!� Glacterra yelled as she braced herself. Kynight smiled, she wondered what was happening on Cybertron.
* * *
�I can�t believe it.� Kup muttered as he and Hot Rod watched the foreign ship come peacefully to Cybertron.
�I know, Starscream is getting a little freaked. He thought they�d have turned back or opened fire.� Hot Rod said as he turned and nodded for the tractor beam to be engaged.
�Hot Rod!� Starscream voice boomed out of the intercom, �bring the prisoners to me at once!� Hot Rod turned to Kup as Kup gave the speaker a killing look.
�Come on, I�ll need some help.� Hot Rod said as he tugged Kup�s arm.
Kup nodded, �The poor fools.�
* * *
�We�re down.� Glacterra said, as everyone shook off the shock of sudden descend.
�This is not going to be pretty.� Steel muttered as Kynight suddenly jumped up looking determined.
�That�s it! Glacterra! Switch and ambush!� Kynight yelled as she looked at Glacterra with mischief in her optics.
�Yes! That�s perfect! Kynight, I love it! You�re so good at being evil!� Glacterra said with malice laughter.
�You�re going to die.� Eolian whispered as Kynight and Glacterra stood next to each other whispering.
�I don�t think so, Eolian.� Steel said as she nodded towards the two, �I think �Night�s finally got a plan.� Eolian watched as Glacterra nodded and Kynight�s hands moved about with uncanny speed.
�Disembark at once! Or be boarded!� Ultra Magnus yelled into the ship�s communication system.
�Okay, Eolian, stay. Steel come on.� Kynight said as she went through the door.
* * *
�The fools, don�t they realize they�re coming to their deaths?� Kup muttered as Hot Rod stared at the ship, something was strange here.
�I don�t know. The female was so calm, like she knew something." Ultra Magnus responded with coolness.
�Strange." Springer commented as the ship�s ramp suddenly came down.
* * *
�Show time ladies.� Kynight said with a smile. Glacterra chuckled as Kynight moved out onto the ramp.
Hot Rod blinked the female was smiling, �Could it be?�
�Greetings, my name is Kynight. My companions are Steel and Glacterra.� Kynight said as she extended her hand.
Ultra Magnus looked doubtful as Hot Rod took her hand in his, then chuckled quietly.
Kynight blinked, she didn�t expected Hot Rod to sense the Dagger of Knowledge, but it would make no difference in the end. �Though the Dagger was enough like the Matrix, that it�s conceivable that he would sense it,� Kynight thought to herself.
�I believe you want to meet the ruling Lord of Cybertron?� Hot Rod said as he tucked Kynight�s arm under his and began to lead her towards Starscream�s tower.
�Ah, a bit of a mind reader, are we?� Kynight chuckled; Hot Rod was playing a wonderful part.
�What the?� Kup whispered as Hot Rod laughed out loud at Kynight�s comment.
�Uh? Did I miss something?� Springer asked as he watched the stranger and Hot Rod seemingly communicate without saying a word.
�Not yet, but you will if you don�t move it.� Glacterra said with a sneer, as she began to follow Kynight with Steel right behind her. Surprised looks followed them.
�I�m not missing this!� Kup announced as he quickly moved forward.
* * *
Starscream paced as he looked around his throne room, assorted Autobots waited for him to give them orders. Yes, his throne room, his orders, he was in control here.
Smiling to himself, Starscream sat down, this was his time, no one could stop him as these strangers would find out shortly.
* * *
Hot Rod stopped in front of two huge doors with Decepticon symbols imprinted on them, staring at them for a bit as everyone else caught up and paused looking at the two.
�So this is it.� Kynight said as she took her arm back. Hot Rod looked at the female, worry and doubt began to appear on his faceplate, �what if she can�t do it?�
�Oh, thee of little faith.� Glacterra said as she pushed herself between the two and in front of the doors. Glancing at Kynight, Glacterra nodded and put her weight into the doors throwing them wide open.
Starscream jumped as the doors flew open with a loud bang and two females entered, with determined steps. Another female entered with Hot Rod and his Autobots.
�How dare you?� Starscream bellowed as he stood up and ran his hand over the shield.
�So, you�re the Lord of Cybertron?� Kynight said as she placed her hands on her hips. Taking a commanding position
�Yes, I am the ruling Lord of Cybertron!� Starscream sneered as he took hold of his shield, �Now who are you, my pretty?�
�She is Lady Kynight! Commoner!� Glacterra sneered right back at Starscream, as he raised his shield.
�Wrong, she is dead!� Starscream screamed as he fired up the shield and aimed it at the females. Glacterra took two steps back as Kynight moved forward.
�Die!� Starscream roared as a blast of white flame poured out of the center of the shield from the crystal.
Kynight focus on the Dagger of Knowledge as the flames harmless move over her.
�Oh, lad.� Kup whispered as the little hope everyone had vanished as the flames consumed Kynight. Starscream laughed as Kynight disappeared from sight.
�I am not impressed.� Kynight said as she began to walk out of the flames. Activating her transformation chip, Kynight changed forms as she cleared the flames.
�That�s not possible!� Starscream screamed with terror as Kynight, in Decepticon form, advanced.
�My optics must be malfunctioning.� Kup said as everyone stared at the female Decepticon seeker jet.
�I knew it.� Hot Rod whispered as he saw Glacterra circle around, aiming her rifle at Starscream.
�This is it, Kynight, old gal. Glacterra�s waiting, you need to make the move.� Kynight thought to herself with a little worry, a whole planet was counting on her as well as Primus.
�NO! I rule Cybertron! I am invincible!� Starscream bellowed as he raised the shield higher.
�Do you really think that Primus� Sapphire Shield can save you?!� Kynight yelled as Glacterra fired her rifle and knocked the Shield out of Starscream�s hands.
Kynight raced forward as Starscream screamed trying to grab the Shield, knocking Starscream backwards as the Shield clunked onto the ground. Glacterra jumped up and placed herself right in front of the two fighting warriors.
�Steel! Catch!� Glacterra yelled as she kicked the Shield to her. Steel blinked as the Shield land at her feet and Kynight jumped away from Starscream. Glacterra fired her freeze rifle, totally stopping Starscream in his tracks.
Steel bent down and grabbed the Shield as Hot Rod went running to the wall of fallen warriors.
Touching the Shield, Steel felt the power. Surprised, she looked up at Kynight, who was moving to help Hot Rod take down the Autobots on Starscream�s wall.
�Kynight?� What about Starscream?� Glacterra called, as she remained fixed on Starscream.
�Just make sure he doesn�t get his hands on the Shield. Steel, pocket that thing and come help us.� Kynight order.
�Call the medics!� Hot Rod screamed as he continued to take down bodies off Starscream�s wall.
�Hot Rod, I would like to make a suggestion.� Kynight said as she worked over Optimus.
Hot Rod paused and looked at the female Decepticon, �Yes.�
�Put the Decepticons personal units in storage. Freeze them and start with Starscream.� Kynight said as the medics appeared on the screen.
�Thank you.� Hot Rod said as he reached out and grasped Kynight�s arm. Kynight look at Hot Rod�s faceplate. The relief, the thanks and understanding was all there.
A soft smile and gentle optics answered Hot Rod�s expression, �We�ll help you. Once Optimus is re-activated and the Decepticons in storage, then we�ll head home.� Kynight said as she waved her hand at Steel, �Contact Eolian and tell her that we�re going to stay a while.�
* * *
Kynight sighed as she placed Starscream�s personal unit into cold storage.
�Kynight?� Hot Rod questioned as he entered the room.
�Yes?� Kynight asked as she turned to him.
�What should I do about the other Decepticons that Starscream left off his wall?� Thundercracker? Skywarp? The others?� Hot Rod asked as he sat down looking sad, Optimus wasn�t back on line yet, and didn�t seem to be doing well.
�Give them their freedom as long as they behave. Explain things to them. Make them understand. Give them jobs or find jobs for them. Make sure they feel useful. They have their pride too.� Kynight answered as she bent down and touched Hot Rod�s knee, �Optimus may not come out of it or he may come out of it but not as you remember. It�s up to you to become part of him, to be his hands, his voice. Do you understand what I�m saying, Hot Rod?�
Hot Rod�s pained faceplate nodded, �I know, I know.�
Kynight shook her head, then smiled, �Come on, let�s go see what�s going on.� Taking hole of Hot Rod�s hand, Kynight lead the way to the re-pair center.
* * *
�Steel!? Yo!� Glacterra yelled from the frame of Starscream�s palace. The Autobots wanted it torn down as soon as possible, Glacterra couldn�t blame them either, bad memories.
�Yeah?!� Steel called from the ground, the Sapphire Shield sercituy to her back.
�How about a hand?� Glacterra called back, �Why else would I be yelling to you for.�
�Okay, what was that last part?� Steel yelled as she began to climb.
�Nothing! Just come on.� Glacterra said as she raised her optics skyward.
* * *
�Eolian, how�s it going?� Kynight asked as she and Hot Rod walked in.
�Ironhide, on-line, so is Wheeljack and Sunstreaker.� Eolian responded as she continued to check the other Autobots with First Aid beside her.
�Why don�t you go explain what happened to them, Hot Rod.� Kynight said with a wave of her hand.
�Yeah.� Hot Rod muttered as he turned, Kynight watched until he was out of her range of sight, then turned towards Optimus� private room.
Entering the room, Kynight locked the door and looked at Optimus� body. Tubes, wires, and equipment surround him. Kynight listened to the steady beep of the machines, the drip of the energon I.V. . Peaceful, in away, dreadful in other.
�Optimus Prime, it�s time you come out of the Matrix.� Kynight whispered as she pulled a chair to Optimus� side.
Opening her chest, Kynight began to focus on the Dagger of Knowledge. Kynight�s optics dimmed as the Dagger glowed. Suddenly, Optimus chest opened and the Matrix responded to the Dagger.
Kynight merged the Matrix using the Dagger. Walking across Cybertron, Kynight looked around. Energon rippled everywhere, casing light to the darkness corners.
�Cybertron�s golden age� It�s so beautiful and peaceful. No wonder you don�t want to come out Optimus, but you have to.� Kynight said softly as voices reached her. Turning Kynight saw Optimus walking with Aleeta-one in arm.
�OPTIMUS PRIME!� Kynight roared as she advanced oh him.
�Who? Aleeta, behind me.� Optimus ordered as he went into a fighting position.
�Ha! That proves it! Aleeta-One would never hide behind anyone! Optimus, you�re inside the Matrix! Don�t you remember! Starscream, and the Shield?� Kynight responded as she moved into a fighting position.
�Starscream�?� Optimus said with confusion as he turned to Aleeta-One, �Aleeta?�
�You�re inside the Matrix, Optimus� listen, to me! Hot Rod needs you!� Kynight pleased as she noticed Optimus� optics looked pained.
�I� Hot Rod�� Aleeta, I�m so sorry, I forgot�� Optimus began as suddenly Aleeta began to fade as did the rest of Cybertron.
Turning, Optimus stare at Kynight, �Thank you. I forgot for a time, but I�m begin to remember now.�
�Your welcomed. Later Op..� Kynight said with a faint smile as she too began to disappear.
* * *
�There we go.� Glacterra sighed as she and Steel looked up at the pile of material left from Starscream�s palace.
�Yeah, thank Primus we�re done.� Steel sighed as she turned her back on the pile.
Suddenly, a sound erupted from behind the two. Turning a huge pile of girders came tumbling down at them.
Without a second thought, Steel pulled the Sapphire Shield out and aimed it towards the girder. The gem in the middle of the Shield brighten and a shield of raw energy fell around them, saving them from harm.
* * *
Kynight started as she felt something. Glancing down at Optimus, Kynight noticed him begin to awake.
�Optimus, I�m need elsewhere, so you need to wake up. Perhaps, we�ll meet again.� Kynight sad as she got up and moved towards the door.
�Who?� Optimus moaned as he tired to turn towards her.
�My name is Lady Kynight. Hot Rod with explain.� Kynight said with an all-knowing smile as she left the room.
�Hot Rod!� Kynight called as the door closed behind her, �Optimus is waking up! You better get in there!�
Hot Rod came flying around the corner and looked at Kynight.
�He awake!� Hot Rod cried with relief as he ran to Optimus� room. Kynight smiled as Eolian gave her a continuous stare.
�Come on, Eolian. It�s time we leave, there a lot to do yet on Paix.� Kynight winked at Eolian as she smiled and shook her head.
* * *
�Steel.. that was one of the coolest things I�ve ever seen. The way� oh, �Night!� Glacterra called as she caught sight of her and Eolian.
�By Primus! What happened! Is everyone all right!?� Eolian asked as they took in the screen of girders encircling the two.
�Steel� you didn�t happened to use the Shield did you?� Kynight asked as she stares at her.
�Well�.. I kind of�. I�m sorry! What ever the price is I�ll pay it, I didn�t have a choice!� Steel said with enough pain that even Glacterra filched.
�No need. The Shield belong to you now, you�re it�s official keeper of Primus� Sapphire Shield. Now, let�s go home. I still have half my sleep cycle to finish.� Kynight yawned as she turned on her kneel. The three females did a quick look at each other and then did a quick sprint to catch up to Kynight.
* * *
Epilogue
Primus watched silently for a time as the Wildstar and it�s crew returned to Paix.
�Such a strong spirit. One day I will have it for my own.� Primus chuckled into space as he faded from sight.
