Finally! Sry for the long wait, had a bit of writers block for this chapter as I was struggling, but here it is finally! Hopefully you enjoy!

We ran down the corridor towards what was hopefully to the room where Quintessa and the Fallen were. A door was up ahead, sealed shut. We stopped right outside of it, I looked to the two young males.

"I think you know what to do." Predaking and I stepped aside.

"Heheh, of course." Darksteel cackled.

They transform into gryffins and began to breathe fire upon it, the intense heat of their fire breath was quickly making the door turn orange. Skylynx and Darksteel then barged through the door with a loud roar, Preda and I entering behind them. What we saw was rather shocking, nothing like I was expecting. This room is even bigger than the last one, and by that it's got a higher ceiling.

Quintessa had the gems hovering around her as she was higher up, all of them but the hot pink one were glowing as they were being zapped with electricity. My gem. Echoed screams filled my ears, all of them pained and familiar in voices. My sister and the other girls!! They're in pain! But the hot pink one still did not glow, perhaps because my soul isn't within it! And it would seem she can't use it! She looked down at us Predacons and an angered expression came across her faceplates.

"I've grown quite tired of you! Kill them!" She shouted.

A horde of regular Decepticons came barreling towards us, we were ready to attack.

"Springlock, if you are to be the one who cures her, you must get up there at once. We shall handle these drones." Predaking says.

"What about you?" I ask.

"We can handle our own, now go!" He transformed into his dragon form and began to charge the oncoming soldiers.

I used my wings to fly up towards the floating femme, the screams still echoing in my ears. Quintessa noticed me and growled, aiming her electricity at me. It struck me, but I felt nothing as I continued flying up to her. I was now at optic level with her, her bluish purple optics glaring at me as I stared back at her.

"Quintessa, you're making a huge mistake. This will kill all of us if you proceed!" I say.

"A small price to pay." She said with a smirk.

"A SMALL price?? That's 7.5 billion people! Would you do such a thing to your home world?" I ask.

Quintessa frowned, "Your mind games do not work on me, human. Once I get rid of you, Unicron will be alive once again!"

Like he wasn't already? Okay.

"Why do you even want to awaken him?!" I shouted.

"He is the only one who can truly defeat Primus, whyever not?" Quintessa says.

So she wants to awaken Unicron so he can kill Primus! Of course. I take a deep breath.

"Unicron, release your hold on her, or else!!" I shout.

The room then began to shake, for I could feel the vibrations.

"Or else what, human? You have given her Primus' life gems, such a foolish decision! You have nothing!" Unicorns voice echoed throughout the room.

I look at the gems as they hovered around Quintessa, the pink one still refused to glow. Mine sure is a stubborn gem, unless...She can't use it! She doesn't have possession over my soul, that's why it's not working! Quintessa has no use over Empathy! I sighed and looked her dead in the eye.

"Quintessa,"

She said nothing as electricity began to surround the pair of us.

"I forgive you." I said it.

To say she looked stunned was an understatement, the electricity around us diminished almost immediately.

"You...WHAT?!" Unicrons voice boomed.

"I said I forgive her!" I repeated louder.

Quintessa was frozen as she was unresponsive, too stunned to say a word as the gems ceased glowing. I took the chance and snagged them away before she could react, startling her out of a trance. The gems had stopped screaming in pain and then circled around me, each of them glowing.

"A wise man once told me that you were much like me once, or vice versa, but unfortunately you came in contact with Dark Energon and the substance changed you. The same almost happened to me. Don't you see? Unicron is only using you, but he doesn't have to have control over you ever again!" I say as the gems circled me faster and glowed brighter.

"At the start of my adventure, I had no idea why it was me that had to do it. But now I understand! Because I'm not like the others, and Primus needed one more element that could help defeat cure you. Empathy!" The pink gem glowed the brightest.

The room then began to glow a deep purple, an angry roar echoed throughout the complex.

"Seven little ROCKS won't get rid of me, fleshling!" Unicron roared.

The gems then fired a pure white beam at Quintessa, aiming right at her spark. She yelled out in pain as purple mist began to surround her, it must be the dark energon! More and more purple mist surrounded her as the dark substance was expelled from her body, Unicron angrily yelling as his grip on her was growing weaker by the minute. I could see her optics beginning to change back to an electric blue.

"ENOUGH!" Unicron shouted.

Purple lightning then struck me, I screamed out in agony as pain seared throughout my body. But I must continue despite how much it hurts, and before the dark energon changes me. I continued using the gems as I could feel the dark energon starting to take effect slowly, come on...just a little more...

The gems beam then ceased to exist, Quintessas optics now electric blue. She rubbed her optics as I smiled, holding the gems to my spark as they began removing the dark effects from me.

"Quintessa..?" I ask.

She looks around the room, which still glowed purple.

"What...where am I?" She asks.

"In a Decepticon hideout...I just cured you of your dark energon infection..." I coughed, feeling quite weakened.

That's when I felt a plasma blast hit me in the back, right in the spine between my wings. I screamed out in pain once again as my vision began to fade.

"Springlock!" I heard Predaking shout before everything went dark.

*   *   *   *

The young Predacon was falling at a rapid pace, the Fallen held a smoking blaster as he was the one who fired upon her. Predaking launched himself upwards and caught the unconscious Springlock in his arms, worried if she were seriously injured.

"Yet another Human eliminated, good riddance." The Fallen then teleported away.

Quintessa came down to Predaking's level as Skylynx and Darksteel came over in their beast forms.

"She risked herself to save me...now I must do the same." The hovering femme went to take the gems from Springlock.

Predaking growled at her as she was dangerously close to his mate, but the room began to shake even more.

"I can defeat Unicron if I possess those gems, I have made such mistakes and I want to make it up to this human who has saved me from myself." She pleaded to Predaking.

The King hesitated as he looked to his injured Queen, he sighed defeatedly and let her take the gems. Quintessa smiled sincerely as she took the gems into her hands, all of them glowing brightly. Including Empathy.

"Primus, I am sorry for what I have done." Quintessa muttered.

"I forgive you, my protege." She heard him speak to her.

"Thank you. And as for you, Unicron, you are hereby banishedback to the Earths core!!" She shouted as the gems glowed so bright, they were white.

"You incompetent sycophant!!!! You obey ME!!" Unicron boomed.

"Not anymore will I be your marionette!"

A white light filled the room, the male Predacons covering their optics to protect themselves from being blinded. The bright light then faded, the room no longer glowed purple, the Decepticon horde laid dead among the ground. Quintessa seemed winded, but otherwise fine. Predaking looked down at the unconscious Springlock in his arms.

"Do not worry my Queen, we will get you the assistance you require. Come Skylynx and Darksteel!" Predaking charged out of the room as his minions followed.

Quintessa watched the Predacons exit the large chamber, she immediately went after them. Predaking rushed back to the throne room to see Megatron laying dead upon the ground and Optimus Prime standing victorious, the Prime turning to see his once human friend in the Kings arms. His expression changed from tired to worried almost instantly.

"What happened?" Optimus asked.

"She successfully cured the femme from the Dark Energon infection, but then someone had fired at her spine. She needs a medic at once!" Predaking said worriedly.

"Worry not, once we are on the surface Ratchet will ground bridge us back to base and will start at once." Optimus assured him.

Predaking nodded as Quintessa came around the side of him, holding the gems out to Optimus.

"She will need these." The Femme said as Optimus took them from her.

*   *   *   *

Once they had exited the base, Bendy, Springtrap, Blue, Echo, Charlie, Delta and her family saw Springlock was injured.

"What happened?!" Springtrap exclaimed.

"No time to explain, we must return to base. Ratchet, we require a ground bridge at once, we have an injured soldier." Optimus said into his comm link.

"Understood, its good to hear from you again old friend." A ground bridge appeared in front of them.

Every Autobot and Predacon went through the portal.
