Transformers: Rise of Prime

Grimlock and the Autobots that were blasted out of the building walked to Orion with Ariel and Dion in their arms. A sign for if they're dead would be if their bodies were gray. But they were still in colors, meaning they are faintly alive. His friends knew of Orion Pax's secret, but didn't know if he was the same on the inside. They were so in awe that they struggle to ask.

Jazz: Orion?

Ratchet: Is it . . . ?

Ironhide: Is it really you?

Optimus Prime remembered them plain as day. He never thought he'd be taller than them. At least Grimlock's still taller, but he mourns the death of Giganaut, his father.

Optimus Prime: I was once Orion Pax. Now . . . I am Optimus Prime.

Ratchet: Is there . . . anything . . . to show that you . . . are still that data clerk I was friends with?

Ratchet was tearful. His best friend turned into a Prime and he doesn't know if he's truly back or not. Sure, its amazing that he's alive, but is he reverted back to the Optimus Prime of Prime War Cybertron, or is he Orion Pax on the inside? The Prime smiled under his mask.

Optimus Prime: You tell me . . . doc.

The first time anyone said "doc" to Ratchet that the junior medic didn't freak out. Instead, he sobbed a little bit and hugged Optimus. Jazz and Ironhide did the same.

Optimus Prime: It is good to see you again, my friends.Grimlock, my deepest sympathies . . . for the loss of Giganaut. May his memory live on in you.

Grimlock: Thank you . . . Optimus Prime.

Bulkhead: Uhh, Prime? What about–?

Hound: Ariel and Dion?

Optimus Prime: Ratchet?

Ratchet: Well, it looks to me that they're actually not dead. But . . . they need to be reformatted to survive.

Optimus Prime: Whatever it takes. And I know just the place.

As Optimus and the Autobots relish in their victory, Grimlock, the new leader of the Dinobots, prepares his crew for their army's return to their homeworld. So many warships have fallen and so many Dinobots perished in this war. But it was all worth it. They even packed Giganaut's corpse where they will cremate it, along with many of the other Dinbots who perished, in a warrior's honor.

Optimus Prime: Grimlock. (the DInobot king looks to him, then Prime bows) I pray you return to your homeworld safely.

Grimlock then bowed to Optimus Prime, who got back up. Grimlock showed undying respect for the Prime.

Grimlock: The Dinobots will be under your command when you need them, Optimus Prime. I pray that your world will see daylight from its darkness that we vanquished. (Optimus nods)

And so, Jazz, Ironhide, and Ratchet have said their goodbyes to the Dinobots as they left for their home. Optimus is enjoying the victory party, and the Autobots letting everyone on Cybertron know that the war is over, and Cybertron was free from the tyranny of the Decepticons. But there's one thing on the Prime's mind that's been going on since he became a Prime once again. It has been two hours since Optimus Prime took Ariel and Dion to the place where he became Orion Pax. With reverse engineering thanks to Ratchet, Gears, Grapple, Hoist, Wheeljack, and Perceptor, the reformation of Ariel and Dion was complete. It appears it took longer to reformat Cybertronians into bigger, stronger bots rather than the other way around. There were two chambers that used to have Ariel and Dion. Optimus, Ratchet, Ironhide, and the sparkling Jazz were anxiously waiting. When the chambers opened, two figures lazily walked out. One was a female with an orangish-pink and white color scheme white the other was a male with lots of blue armor making him bigger than Optimus!

??? (Female): Where . . . where are we?

??? (Male): Wait. Who . . . are you?

??? (Female): And who are you? (gasp) My voice sounds different.

??? (Male): Oh my gosh! Mine does, too!!!

Optimus Prime: Take it easy, you two. You have been reformatted.

The two figures were shocked to see the legendary Optimus Prime right in front of them. Apparently, they didn;t know about Orion Pax's secret.

Optimus Prime: Do you know . . . who you are?

??? (Male): Well, I know who I once WAS. I used to be Dion. But I am now . . . Ultra Magnus.

??? (Female): And I used to be Ariel. But now . . . I'm Elita-One.

Elita-One noticed Jazz right beside Optimus, Ratchet and ironhide. Jazz could not believe it. Ariel was now a completely different person. On the outside, at least.

Elita-One: (voice breaking) Jazz?

Jazz: Ariel!! Oh, I've missed you!!

Then the little sparkling hugged Elita-One. Ultra Magnus remembers little Jazz from the day that the energon docks blew up. Then he notices Ironhide and Ratchet.

Ultra Magnus: Ratchet? Ironhide? Is that really you?

Ratchet: (sniffles, trying not to cry) Yes, Dion. It's me. Good ol' Doc. (chuckles)

Ironhide: And who could you mistake ME for, of all people? (everyone chuckles)

Then Elita and Magnus noticed Optimus Prime. There was something familiar about him, but they couldn't quite put their finger on it.

Elita-One: Who are you?

Optimus Prime: I am Optimus Prime. But you . . . have once called me . . . Orion Pax.

Elita and Ultra Magnus were shocked! Orion Pax is the legendary Optimus Prime!!! Optimus tried to contain his joy and tears for seeing them both again, but he couldn't contain it after saying his old name. So, he lunged at them and hugged them tightly.

Optimus Prime: I thought I lost you both.

Elita-One cried on Optimus' shoulder, having reunited with Orion Pax once again. They may be Optimus Prime, Elita-One, and Ultra Magnus, but there will be moments where we see Orion Pax, Ariel, and Dion. Now we cut to Optimus looking out of a work-in-progress Tower of Iacon where he, Elita, Magnus, Ratchet, Ironhide, and Jazz stand by the window Megatron made. Jazz is on Optimus' shoulder.

Optimus Prime: (voiceover) Fate rarely calls upon us in a moment of our choosing. But at the heart of every legend, there is truth. A few brave souls unite to save their world. We can be heroes in our own lives if we only have the courage to try. And now we stand here together as one. Proving that we have the power to become who we are destined to be. To right wrongs, to make our world better. Because here, freedom is the right of all sentient beings. This message is a warning to Megatron and his forces of darkness: if you dare return to Iacon, my Autobots will be waiting. I will be waiting. I . . . am Optimus Prime.
