A/N this chapter will contain scenes from all three parts of One Shall Rise. So this maybe a longer chapter or it may not. Either way, I hope you all enjoy it.

(One Shall Rise: Part 1) Angel's POV

Megatron found a whole mountain full of dark energon. He is having the drones mine it as we speak. I am glad he didn't make Soundwave and I leave the ship. Sure Soundwave probably could of handled it. But with mine and Laserbeak's smaller & more fragile bodies. We would have gotten weak quickly around so much dark energon.

Anyway, it's all over the human news. Not only had the volcano erupted with dark energon. But there have been seven Earth quakes around the planet. Seven major tumblers of the exact same magnitude At the exact same time as a volcanic eruption All over the globe on different tectonic plates, In theory, unrelated, if they hadn't happened at the exact same time. Then there were the storms. Tsunamis threaten the canadian coast while lightning storms pummel the Gobi desert. Meanwhile, electromagnetic anomalies plague urban power grids. The world appears to be de-solving into chaos around us. And it makes me scared.

'We will be ok' Soundwave assures Laserbeak and I.

'Thanks sire' we say together grateful for his comforting words. I look over at Megatron, his optics are still purple. As he watches the drones below mine the dark energon.

"Rivers of your very lifeblood rising from the depths to become one with me!" he declares talking to thin air. Must be talking to Unicron, or his spirit anyway as Unicron is dead. Right?

"Lord Megatron, I have something you should hear" Soundwave states using Knockout's voice. He then plays a cybertronian heartbeat. Megatron grabs his helm in pain.

"Stop, Soundwave! Turn it off!" Megatron shouts. Soundwave does as he is told. "I can still hear it pounding in my brain" he complains. I frown, who? I wonder as I swish my tail. Wait, is Unicron the raising darkness the prophecy foretold? If so, we're all dead.

'Calm Angel' Soundwave says through the bond and strokes my helm gently. I relax a little, but not completely. Airachnid appears and walks towards Megatron.

"Lord Megatron, our cargo hold is nearly filled with the dark substance. I recommend a retreat. The troops are growing weak from its effects" she states.

"And yet I grow stronger" Megatron states becoming thoughtful. "Airachnid, you're in command until my return" he orders and starts to leave.

"Your return from where, master?" she asks him.

"From my audience with Unicron" he states and leaves.

'I do not like this' I tell Soundwave.

'Just stay close to me and do as I say. Everything will be fine' he assures me. I nod my helm as he moves the ship away from the mountain of dark energon.

(One Shall Rise: Part 2)

Megatron has yet to return from his audience with Unicron. So Airachnid is still in charge. But Soundwave still have a lock on Megatron's location and his vitals. He is alive and not hurt. So he should return. But he is currently heading away from our location towards a canyon.

Anyway, Airachnid has had us move to Earth's orbit. To avoid all the strange and abnormal weather happening on it. Which I admit is a smart move. But I still don't like or trust her. So I am sticking close to Soundwave.

Airachnid approaches Soundwave and I. I curl tighter around him as he looks over at her. "No word yet from Lord Megatron?" she asks him. He says nothing. "It appears our leader has abandoned us while this world erupts in chaos" she states as she looks at the world map displaying all the wild storms happening around Earth. "I believe we must consider the possibility of a future without Megatron" she tells us before leaving.

'You get that?' I ask Soundwave.

'Of course I did and I will be informing Lord Megatron of is upon his return' he states. I hope off him and go to have a closet look at the map. 'Remember stay close Angel' he tells me.

'I will' I assure him and look at the map. It looks like there are tornadoes going on in Nevada. I pray the others are alright.

(One Shall Rise: Part 3)

Still nothing from Megatron and even his signal has gone missing. I doubt he is dead, it'd take more then wild storms to kill him. But it is troubling and I am sure Airachnid will try to use it to her advantage. The weather on Earth has gotten worse. More than sixty volcanoes are erupting worldwide, and downtown Honolulu is under six inches of snow. I can't even begin to imagine how many lives have been lost so far. I just pray the others are ok.

Turns out I was right about Airachnid. She called everyone to the bridge. Even the drones to address us all. I stand beside Soundwave watching as she addresses the room. "Fellow Decepticons! While our loyalty to Megatron's command has always remained steadfast, our Leader recent behaviour has been questionable at best. And it would seem as though Earth has become nothing short of a failed experiment" she declares.

Gesturing to the screen displaying one of the erupting volcanoes. "Commander Airachnid! You're not suggesting that we abandon Lord Megatron?" Knockout asks her.

'That is exactly what she is suggesting' I think to Laserbeak. Who agrees. Soundwave says nothing as he continues to find Megatron's signal.

"Despite Soundwave's efforts we have been unable to detect our Master's signal. Megatron is either permanently off-lined,or in the thrall of Unicron.Neither is in the best interestof the Decepticons" Airachnid declares. "So I am deeming an exodus to be the most prudent course of action. Unless anyone has a problem with that?" she asks us.

No one says anything. But Soundwave steps away from his console. 'Stay behind me' he tells me. I nod my helm.

"Set course for Regulon 4" Airachnid orders and Soundwave stomps his pede. She looks back at us. "You have something to say, Soundwave?" she asks him and he says nothing. "I command this vessel. You will resume your post" she tells him as she steps forward threateningly. Her funeral I think swishing my tail. Only Megatron can defeat him in battle.

Soundwave stays put. "Step aside" she orders him. He does not back down and she charges him. Sh tries to hit him with her spider legs. But he deflects them all and then throws her across the bridge. Detaching Laserbeak while she is down.

'Hit her once for me' I tell Laserbeak.

'Of course' he tells me as Airachnid gets up.

"I'll tear out your Spark for that!" she yells at Soundwave. She goes to charge and notices Laserbeak not on his chassis. Laserbeak snuck up on her from behind and fire twice. Making her fall to the ground and Soundwave steps onto her head as Laserbeak reattaches himself to Soundwave. I purr happily as I jump onto Soundwave's shoulder proud of him. "I yield" she relents and he lets her up before returning to his search for Megatron. As I watch his back.

"Watch out for the quiet ones" Knockout tells Breakdown. You got that right, I agree.

'That was awesome, I wish I could have helped' I tell Soundwave.

'That was mere child's play' he tells me. 'Besides you have no projectile weapons' he reminds me.

'I know' I say groaning. I wish I did. 'Nice shooting Laserbeak' I praise.

'Thanks' he says proud of himself.

(Time skip)

The weather around Earth has returned to normal and Megatron's signal final come back on line. Along with the autobots, four of which are with him. Soundwave immediately locates his coordinates and sends a ground bridge for him. Once he was through, he shut it and we all await for Megatron to return to the bridge. "Welcome back, Lord Megatron" Knockout says as we all bow to him.

But we all become alert as Optimus enters the room behind Megatron. Breakdown activates his hammer and charges towards him. But Megatron stops him. "At ease, Breakdown. That is no way to welcome our long lost comrade" he tells him. I cock my head to the side, comrade? What in the name of Primus is going on?

"Orion Pax is one of us" Megatron declares. Wait, Orion Pax? That was Optimus' name before he became a Prime. Did whatever happen on Earth cause him to lose come of his memories? I guess I'll find out.
