Before Magnus could reply, again the voice of the Keeper echoed across the temple. "Foolish individuals, do you not see how wretched you have become? Fighting with each other for millions of years. Do you forget your planet itself is sentient?"Magnus spun round having been half-turned to talk to Air Raid and turned his attention towards the keeper. "What do you know about our home planet?! You don't even know anything about us?!""I know more than you think. If you were a sentient being and the race you created did nothing but create war, murder and kill each other, would you eventually draw a line and say - enough!?"Magnus had no answers for that, bowing his head as the Keeper continued, "Now, allow me.." continued the keeper, and with another wave of his hands another bolt of blue energy shot from each hand encasing them all before they could act, all but Air Raid. Once again they felt the same tingling Air Raid had, after a few moments it was all over. "Although I cannot return any missing limbs or your powers and abilities, your wounds are healed, and damage has been healed over though you may bare the scars until you get properly repaired...""Wh- Who are you?!", asked Magnus The Keeper rose his hands again and in a flash of light he grew bigger, taller, a bright aura of light surrounded him as his form changed before finally settling Slowly he made his way down the steps, still bather in a bright glowing light.. "DON'T YOU RECOGNISE ME? - OLD FRIEND?"

Temporarily blinded from the light Air Raid did not see the figure.
He lowered his arm, not knowing what he'd see.
His eyes got wide and his jaw dropped at the sight.
"By Primus..." was all he could say...

Seizing the opportunity, Lord Tyrannodon struck, side tacking Magnus to the ground. Snatching Air Raid's blaster from Magnus' hand he kept the Autobot pinned down on the ground aimed up, and op-en fired on Omega Convoy..
"This mockery of self righteousness ends today!", raved the Decepticon leader as he fired point blank at Omega.
The others stood back in horror to shell-shocked to react in time as the blast fired, they could only stand and watch. The blast however just bounced off Omega Convoy. Tyrannodon's pained expression of anger turned to that of one of shock and confusion as he turned the blaster inwards and wondered what had happened.
"I don't believe it! How?!"
"Foolish Decepticon. Have you learnt nothing? Although the journey has been long for all of you, in my time here many lightyears have passed. I have shaped my environment around me, mastered it. You cannot touch me."
"No! I'll rip you to pieces with my bare hands!!", scathed the raving Decepticon and and scrabbled of Magnus and lunged for the Autobot leader. IceBlaster, Air Raid, even Retroblazer lauched forward to try and stop him as Vorja and Quickshot looked on still in shock.
Barely up the first couple of steps, Tyrannodon was stopped in his tracks by a great bolt of energy from Omega Convoy as previously witnessed, but now greater than ever. It stopped Tyrannodon and slowly lifted him into the air just a few feet above the heads and shoulders of the others, encasing him in a blue light, but this time it wasn't to heal. Tyrannodon writhed in pain twisting and turning as he floated above the adjoined team below, wracked with pain he felt like his hold entire body was being scrambled from the inside. Slowly rising up through his body like being swallowed up from the inside out, he grabbed his head from the pain - al the time yelling and screaming deep roar.
Cracks of light white light began to show through the small crevices of his armour, his hands ran down his head as he pulled a horn of his head, and then a chunk of armour on his face and an optic revealing a mass or circuitry. As more and more cracks of light broke out from within him he began tearing great chunks of armor of himself as if there was something inside him he had to exorcise. Great shafts of light in thin beams poured out of every available crack in his body until every part blew into pieces in a vaporous gassy blue explosive cloud. Only his head survived, thick plumes of smoke piling from the optics and mouth as it fell to the floor with a great thunk...
And Lord Tyrannodon was no more...

In the aftermath, there was silence as Vorja, went down on one knee and picked up his masters head and held it in both hands... "I shall avenge thee..", uttered Vorja quietly. "You hypocrite Convoy!", growled Vorja quietly but still with a snarl tone, "You promote peace and harmony when you have killed one of your own race! Going against everything you Autobots stand for! That makes you no better than us!"Convoy could see by the looks on the others faces he had a point, "He is wrong however. What I did I did for the greater good, one live for many.. Better a tyrant than an etire race of sentient beings..""The needs of the many..", concluded Quickshot, "Out way the few.." "Or the one...", finished Convoy "But I still don't get it", replied Retroconvoy. "Yeah Omega, how did you do all this, how are you able to do all this?", asked Iceblaster. "Come with me, I'll explain." Convoy turned ang began climbing the stairs. One by one, the crew of Autobots and the single remaining Decepticon trudged through the remains of Tyrannodon on the floor and followed Convoy up the stairs. Vorja dropping the head, as he followed last. Climbing the steps, Convoy reached his throne first and whilst the others will still following on their way up, he pressed a secret button behind the back of his chair.. Slowly a great section of the wall behind the chair separated into two halves and withdrew back on either side. A hollow elevator revealed itself as Convoy stepped inside, reaching the top the other warriors joined Convoy each in the lift. "Were are we going?", asked Retroblazer, but Convoy just smirked. As the elevator slowly began to move, the assembled crew found themselves going higher and higher up the pyramid. Slowing down, the elevator came to a halt, but what they saw as they came out was surprising even for Magnus. There at the top of the pyramid, which had been outfitted as a docking bay stood a fine cruiser class ship. "My friends, the great experiment..""I - I don't believe it? How is this possible?""You still didn't explain, about the generator. We saw you vapourized!""You saw what you wanted to see. Oh at the time I believed I was going to die too, but he had something greater planned for me..""He", questioned Quickshot "Primus. He saw that I was destined for great things, that it was not time yet for my demise. At that moment when the generator went into overload, I wasn't vapourized I was pulled out of harm's way, out of time.... and space...", explained Convoy, "But it took a lot of pyshical power from Primus to do this, something like that can't be done on a whim.." "With respect Sir, it was Primus that caused all the tremors and collapse of Cybertron. All those massive energy domes, draining the energy from the planet... to replenish and for what to teqach us 'a lesson?'" Magnus' words ended with a bitter twist of tone. "Yes and no. What have you learned? That fighting is not that answer. If you wage on a planet that gave you sentient life, wouldn't you be displeased in what your creations had become?
When I first awoke here in the deeps of a deep tropical jungle, I didn't understand it at all, it took me a very long time. But I overcome the odds, took control over the multi-tropical regions of this planet - not let it control me. I built my re-existance, the buildings, the technology. I have become limitlessness in what I can do. Much like Primus himself..""HAH! Are you claiming to be a God ike Primus?!""In a way. But come, I'm sure IceBlaster can't wait to get his hands on this ship..", mused Convoy as he began to walk towards the great craft. "What's it called Convoy?", asked IceBlaster. "The Pheonix. Much like ourself it symbolishes our race and it's struggle, we will rise from the ashes and return home renewed as we face a new chapter in our story.."As the crew approached the ship, the landing ramp extended down, and without even so much as a hesitation - Convoy climbed aboard the ship as Magnus, Quickshot, Retroblazer and IceBlaster followed. "Home? But how do we know how to get there?" exasperated Retroblazer, "Do you even know? or is "Primus" gonna guide you?!" "I have absolutely no idea!", chuckled Convoy as they made their way through the impressive sleek golden ship, b]"But it's going to be fun finding out! Take your positions and start the prelaunch countdown!"[/b][/color] Taking a station console each, the crew buckled themselves in as IceBlade made the initial checks, the styling and finishing being familiar, though he had no idea of what this ship was capable of.. "Igniting thrusters!", informed IceBlasted rather excitedly, "All lights are green across the board!..""Quickshot...""Sir?""The red button on your console!.", Convoy answered emphatically. After pushing the button slowly the point of the pyramid separated into four quarters each moving back at the very peak of the pyramid to reveal the night sky and the stars as they retracted back and slid down the side of the pyramid a foot until they aligned the sides of the peak. Slowly the great bird of the sky rose in the massive hanger, the feint moonlight glinting of her golden surface as she ascended to the peak and thigh high into the starts and stratosphere, leaving the temple far below. "Course setting sir?" "Will we ever find our way home?", asked Magnus, but the question remained unanswered as Retroblazer repeated his question.. "Course setting sir?" "Indulge me Retroblazer... Let's see what's out there!.."THE END
