S3 Episode 15: Endgame (Part 1)

"The energy signal hasn't moved.", Optimus said, while looking on the computer. Serenity then moved up beside him.

"They could be planning to set a base up there.", Serenity said. "But, it also confirms that Megatron has got control over Omega Supreme. I say we go rescue him and Arcee!", Ratchet cheered.

Harvester then steps up next to him. "But, Sire! What if they use them as a hostage against us?", Harvester asked.

Ratchet then looked down at her. "They won't. Megatron wants Omega as a weapon. And Arcee is the only way to control that weapon.", Ratchet replied.

He then turned back to Optimus. "We need to use the Magnus hammer.", Ratchet continued.

Optimus almost glared at the hammer. Remembering the fateful day.

When everything he ever wanted to be... Came to an end...

The hammer he now glared at came slamming down on the platform Ultra Magnus stood on. "Princess Serenity... Cadet Optimus... Cadet Sentinel... You all stand accused of trespassing on an organic planet in violation of Cybertronian law. Resulting in the tragic loss of Cadet Elita-1 and injury to the Princess of Cybertron. Before I pronounce judgment, do you have any final statements?", Ultra Magnus asked, while looking down at the Cybertronains before him.

His own niece included. Serenity steps forwards, preparing to say something.

But, Sentinel beats her to it. "I wanted to go back for Elita, Sir! But when things got glitchy, Optimus cut and ran!", Sentinel accused.

Serenity sent a glare at Sentinel. If anyone was to blame for what happened, she felt it was her.

She wanted to escape Cybertron. She wanted to go on an adventure.

And because of that, her best friend was gone. She rubbed her hand over the scar the spider left on her.

"So, you've testified, Cadet. But, I suspect there is more to this story than meets the optic sensor. Who's idea was it to go to this planet?", Ultra Magnus asked. Serenity then steps past the mechs, before looking at her uncle.

"I take full responsibility for what happened. I wanted to leave Cybertron.", Serenity replied. The look that she received from her uncle caused her optics to shift to the ground.

Ashamed to let the bot who raised her down. Optimus then stepped up in front of Serenity.

"The princess actually kept insisting that we didn't land, Sir. I was the senior cadet, Sir. Whatever happened was my responsibility.", Optimus said. "Anything you care to add?", Ultra Magnus asked Sentinel, almost venomously.

"No, Sir.", was all Sentinel said, not even looking at the two, who were willing to take the fall. Ultra Magnus then looked away for a second.

Regret was written all over his face. "Then, you both leave me no choice. Cadet Optimus, you are hereby... Expelled from the Autobot Academy and illegible for service in the Elite Guard.", Ultra Magnus stated.

Optimus couldn't bring himself to look up at his hero or his crush, who held both of her servos over her mouth and trying not to cry for her friend and crush. "I'd hope that someday you would achieve greatness. Perhaps even prove yourself a worthy Magnus.", Ultra Magnus said.

Optimus soon looked up at Ultra Magnus. Sentinel gasped, as did Serenity.

Such a statement would be the closest ever to say that he wished for Optimus to take Serenity's hand in marriage. "But clearly, being a hero or a future ruler is not in your programming.", Ultra Magnus continued, before turning to Serenity.
