Chapter 23 - Goodbye
Madalyn's P.O.V.
As me and the Transformers celebrated our victory against Megatron, the city block slowly made its decent back down to the surface below, falling right back into its original spot in the downtown area of Toronto. Not too far away, my friends were waiting for us. I called out to them as I bolted in their direction.
Madalyn: Guys!
Najat: There she is!
Emanuel: Maddie!
Selina: Madalyn!
I laughed as I caught up to them, Emanuel pulling me into a hug as everyone else crowded around us.
Emanuel: Way to go Maddie, I knew you could do it!
Suddenly there was a rumbling like noise as a man emerged from the rubble of the fallen city block. It was Iestyn's grandfather, Michael! He wasn't dressed up as Deception anymore. He seemed like his normal self again.
Iestyn: Grandfather!
Iestyn ran up to the old man, stopping as he stood in front of him, hesitating to touch him as tears formed in his eyes.
Iestyn: Is it really you?
Micheal: Yes Iestyn, it's me.
Iestyn smiled proudly as he nearly tackled the man in a much needed hug. Micheal apologized to the boy as he returned the embrace, happy to be back with his grandson once again. It was such a heart warming sight to see. I smiled at the pair as I felt a hand grasp mine. I looked down to see a boys hand, and then I looked up to see Emanuel's face. He smiled at me as I smiled back. It felt.... nice.
Najat: The universe is saved, and it's thanks to you!
Najat squealed as she wrapped her arms around me and hugged me. David grinned as he gave me a thumbs up, standing behind Najat.
David: Nice job out there Maddie.
Madalyn: Thanks buddy. I really appericiate it.
David smiled as he extended his hand out towards me. I smiled, releasing one of my arms from hugging Najat and sent it forward, shaking David's hand. At that moment, Optimus Prime's holoform appeared, hovering in the air as he used his jet pack.
Optimus: It's a little early for celebrations.
I looked at my partner with a confused look as me and Najat broke up from our hug and everyone else gathered around the Autobot leader.
Madalyn: What do you mean Optimus? We beat Megatron fair and square, and we got both of the cores back so you can heal Primus.
Optimus: Take a look at the sky.
We all did as we were told and looked up. Instead of the blue sky we were all hoping for, with clouds and birds soaring over head, the sky was still covered in the various colours just like it was in the colour dimension.
Madalyn: Aw snap!
Iestyn: Why is it still like that?
Michael: My best guess is that Earth and Cybertron are still merging together.
Selina: What does that mean doctor?
Michael: It means, once the two planets have merged together into one world, they will simply collapse.
Emanuel: But I thought all we had to do was defeat Megatron?
Predaking: That is true Emanuel. But we must also restore balance to Cybertron. Meaning we must get the Cores back to Primus.
Optimus: And there is one way to do that. Me and the others must travel back to Cybertron's core and return the Infinity and Silent cores to Primus.
David: Well that makes sense.
Madalyn: I guess it's all up to you now Optimus.
Optimus: Indeed it is.
Madalyn: It sounds pretty simple to me. Just put the cores back where they belong and then come home.
Optimus: It's not that simply Madalyn.
Soon the rest of the Transformers holoforms appeared along side Optimus, glum looks on their faces as well as the Prime.
Grimlock: Madalyn there's.... something we should tell you.
Ravage: Optimus.... he cannot return.
Najat: Seriously?!
Bumblebee: That's because Optimus will become one with Primus and will be joined with Cybertron's core. He will be joining the Well of Allsparks.
It was like I was splashed with a cold bucket of water. A look of shock came upon my face as I looked at my Autobot partner, tears threatening to seep out through both of our eyes.
Madalyn: Is... is it true what they're saying.... Optimus?
Optimus:..... Yes.
Goldbug: Let us explain.
Hotshot: The human world and our world are completely different and should have never collided.
Soundwave: The fact that we even exist on your world as these card like anti-bodies goes against everything in the laws of nature.
Iestyn: But that means--
Optimus: I will become new core and restore balance to Cybertron, and the other Cybertronians will be returning with me, transferring the power of their evolution's to me so that I may succeed. We will sadly never be able to come back to Earth ever again. This... is goodbye.
No, I kept telling myself. This couldn't be happening! The Transformers? Leaving?!
Madalyn: What?! No way! This is crazy talk! What do you mean you can't come back?! It can't be true, cause it bites!
Optimus: It is true.
Tears were starting to form in everyones eyes as they heard the news.
Emanuel: But what will she do? All I know is that Madalyn needs you Optimus. Just like I need you Predaking!
Emanuel shut his eyes as he tried to stop the tears from leaking out of his eyes. Predaking's hologram hovered over to his human partner, a look of sorrow on his face.
Predaking: Emanuel....
Najat: Me too, I need Ravage! We've come the bestest of friends in the whole world!
Ravage: Aw, Najat.....
Selina: There has to be someway we can keep all of you here! Everything we do here is with you, and that can't change! I don't know what I'd do without my precious Bumblebee, Goldbug, and Hotshot!
Bumblebee: Aw, that's so touching kiddo.
Hotshot: But it is, what it is.
Madalyn: But--But you gotta be joking! This-- This wasn't part of the deal! I... I thought this was going to be a fresh start. But NOOOOOOO!
We all heard footsteps coming from behind our group.
???: Madalyn?
I turned around to see my mom and dad, and everybody elses parents looking at us. They had looks of relief on their faces.
Mom: It's time to go home.
At this point, the tears were really starting to come down my cheeks. I mumbled a few words as I tried to speak.
Madalyn: But mom.... you just, don't understand....
My parents walked over to me, pulling me into an embrace as I just let it all out, chocking out a sob.
Dad: Everything will be alright. But we really should get you home Madalyn.
Selina's Dad: Come on Selina.
Selina's Mom: Put on a brave face, and let's head on home too.
Selina: I-- I--- I guess there's nothing else I can do.
Emanuel's Mom: Well Emanuel, are you ready to come home?
Emanuel walked over to his mother, hugging her tightly as she returned the gesture.
Emanuel: Yes... mom.
Mom: Everything will be okay honey. It just takes some time, that's all. But try not to make it any harder than it is.
Optimus: She's right.
I sniffled, wiping my nose as the tears began drying up. I moved away from my mom ever so slighty, just so I couldlook back at Optimus.
Madalyn: O.P....
Optimus smiled, disbite lubracant tears forming around his optics. He hovered over to me, sitting on my left shoulder. We all heard a clicking noise and looked up to see Emanuel's dad with his camera.
Emanuel's dad: Hey,why don't we all gather around for a group photo?
We all thought it was a great idea. My friends and I gathered around, the holograms of our Transformers partners either sitting on our shoulders or on top of our heads. We all smiled together as Emanuel's dad took the photo.
*******
Moments later, Me and the others were ontop of a big hill that over looked downtown Toronto. With the CN Tower up in ruins, it wasn't quite a pretty sight to see.
Optimus: Well.... I suppose I should begin my journey home.
Optimus' hologram stood up from my shoulder, activating his jet pack as he soared up into the air. His card was automatically shot out of my tablet as his hologram and the card fused together. There was a bright shining light, and when it vanished, Optimus Prime hovered in the air in his true form. His chest piece opened up, revealing the Matric of Leadership and it shot a beam of light up into the sky. It exploded up in the sky, taking the form of a space bridge portal.
Emanuel: Well, I guess this is goodbye Predaking.
Predaking: Yes it is Emanuel.
Emanuel: Try and keep in touch, alright?
Predaking: As you wish, my lord.
Najat: Goodbye Ravage.
Najat gave Ravage's hologram a quick peck on the cheek, his form heating up as he blushed, looking away.
Ravage:I'm going to miss you too Najat.
Selina: Thank you for everything you guys. You truely were the best friends I could ever have. I'm going to miss you guys like crazy.
Goldbug: So will I.
Hotshot: And thank you for everything Selina.
Bumblebee: Well, I guess this is it.
Madalyn: We sure had a lot of good times, didn't we Optimus?
Optimus: Yes, I guess you could say that these past few years have been never boring.
Madalyn: I'm going to miss you.
I smiled up at the Prime as I took in his massive form. But at the same time, a rush of sadness filled me as I looked down. I heard the sound of a slight thud, then I felt something on my shoulder.
Optimus: Madalyn.
I looked up to see that Optimus was kneeling down on the ground in front of me, placing his finger on my shoulder gently to catch my attention.
Optimus: I was lucky to have met you.
Madalyn: Me too buddy.
Optimus: Take care of yourself.
Madalyn: I'll try. But I don't think I'll ever find another guy like you.
Optimus: I wouldn't say that. I believe I may have one person in mind for the task.
Optimus motioned his head to the side, telling me to follow. I turned, following his gaze and looked right at, Emanuel. I smiled at the thought of me and him together. I looked back up at the Prime, a tiny blush sneaking its way onto my face.
Madalyn: I'll take it under consideration big guy.
With a nod, Optimus stood back up to his feet, activating his jetpack as he hovered into the air. He motioned his hand forward, ordering his fellow Cybertronians to follow. They did exactly what he did, merging their holograms and their cards together to transform into their true forms. With a heavy heart me and my friends watched as they all soared up into the air, and right through the space bridge portal, just as it was beginning to close.
Madalyn: Till all are one.
*********
Optimus Prime's P.O.V.
Me and the others arrived at the other side of the space bridge, entering Primus' chamber at the center of Cybertron itself.
Optimus: My mission is to return Cybertron to its original form.
I turned around to face my fellow Cybertrons who have fought along side me for all of these years.
Optimus: This, is where we part my friends.
Bumblebee: I guess this is what the humans call "The end of the line?"
Goldbug: Don't worry Bumblebee, there will be plenty of adventures.
Hotshot: He's right. And besides, Optimus has a job to do.
Predaking: Thank you Optimus for your contribution.
Grimlock: You were a great leader.
Soundwave: The same goes from me.
Ravage: And me as well.
Optimus: Thank you, all of you. Now, it is time.
I stepped forward, my chest plate glowing. It opened, and the two cores flashed out of my system, hovering over to their original places in the generator that connected itself with Primus. Once they were in place, the cores and Primus glowed as bright as a shooting star. The Matrix of Leadership glowed in sinc with it, along with everyone else. They all flashed and morphed back to their original pre evolution forms and all of that evolved power was transferred over to me.
Optimus: I'll never forget you Madalyn.
I activated my jetpack as I soared up into the air, and then took a nose dive right into Primus himself.
Optimus: Elita... if you can hear me, I promised you that we would be together. That is a promise that I intended to keep.
As I slowly opened my optics, I spotted the form of a sleek pink Autobot femme with bright blue optics. The femme smiled at me as she ran for me, and once she was near, I reached out, picking her up and I spun her around before pulling her into a sweet embrace.
Elita-1: I knew you could do it.
I pulled back ever so slightly, just to look at her face. I leaned in slowly, she quickly caught on, closing her optics as she leaned in as well, and the two of us kissed.
*******
Cybertronian's P.O.V.
There was a flash of white light from Primus as the entire room around us began shaking. And that's when we realized it wasn't just happening in this room, it was happened all over the planet.
Soundwave: The change has begun!
Grimlock: Yes, Cybertron is returning to normal again!
Ravage: It's becomming one.
Hotshot: It's amazing!
Predaking: Eons ago, we were divided by the Factions of the War for Cybertron. But now, the Factions can live together in peace.
Soundwave: And because of Optimus, there won't be any more rebel Cybertronians like Megatron.
Goldbug: It's time to go home.
*******
Madalyn's P.O.V.
We all watched as the space bridge opened again in the sky. Our Transformers Tablets were glowing as all of the rest of our Transformers cards were shot out of the devices and they glowed into their true forms, heading for the space bridge.
Mia: The Transformers are going home!
Madalyn: That must mean that Cybertron has been restored.
Emanuel: Goodbye everyone! We'll miss you!
Selina: We'll never forget you!
Najat: Take care of yourselves now!
And it wasn't just happening to us. We saw Transformers flying up all over the city. Maybe even all around the world. There were thousands of them, maybe millions! Once all of the Transformers made it through the space bridge, the portal closed once again, for good this time, and the sky changed back to normal, a bright blue with clouds soaring by and the sun shining high.
Madalyn: We'll never forget you guys. You were truely more than meets the eye.

Several months had pasted since the Transformers left Earth. Most of the reconstruction of Downtown Toronto and the rest of the planet was almost done, which was good news for everyone.
So I know what you guys are thinking about me and my friends.
Where are they now?
Well for starters, we all finished school, that's for sure.
David moved back to Tokyo with his grandfather and completed his ninja training. Now he helps his grandfather ruin a Ninjitshu after school program.
Najat and Zach's relationship has been growing strong. The two of them were accepted into the same university. Zach recieved a sports scholarship while Najat is studying to be a reporter.
Iestyn and Shannon started dating and are continuing their lives through a long distance relationship while Iestyn headed back to London with his grandfather and Shannon moved back to New York.
Selina is currently getting into her parents business, travelling all over the world and helping out in big projects to help restore cities from the Deception attacks.
Emanuel's family resturant was booming since then. It was so big that they all bought themselves a new house, and it's right down the street from my house! Emanuel is currently studying to be a video game designer.
As for me? Well, there's a few things. First off, I kind of developed a celebraty life for myself. I mean, everyone knows me as the Hero of Earth, the one who the Decepticon Leader, Megatron. Secomdly, yes I did get into college. I'm not sure what I exactly want to do with the rest of my life, but I'm currently working on getting a degree in music. And lastly, well, I took Optimus' advice.
Turns out there was the perfect guy for me out there.
Madalyn: Mom, I'm home!
I was up in my bedroom, tossing my backpack on my bed as I got undressed and changed into something nice.
Mom: If you're going outside, be sure to wash your hands before you leave!
Madalyn: I will! Places to go, people to see!
I changed into a purple tank top with a jean jacket over top, skinny jeans, and nike sneakers. I washed my hands, face, and teeth before bolting down the stairs and running out the door.
********
I leaned back on the hood of a sports car, looking to the side as I watched Emanuel walk back over with two ice cream cones in his hand. He handed me one with a grin as he slide on over and sat next to me.
Emanuel: Having fun?
Madalyn: The best.
The two of us laughed as I took a lick at my ice cream. As we ate, I could have sworn I heard a voice.
???: Take care my friend.
I stood still as I tilted up my head and looked up at the sky. I spotted Optimus' reflection up in the clouds. I smiled at the image. I still couldn't believe it had been months since we last saw the Transformers.
Emanuel: You okay Madalyn?
I shook my head, refocusing on my boyfriend as I turned around and faced him.
Madalyn: Yeah, why?
Emanuel: You got some ice cream on your lip.
I flushed at the thought, reaching over for a napkin.
Madalyn: That's so embarrashing! I'll fix it--
Emanuel: No, no, no. Allow me.
The boy smiled as he placed his hand on my free hand. I took a glance at it, smiling. As we both faced each other again, Emaneul leaned in and the two of us shared a kiss.
Wherever Optimus was, I knew he was looking down at me with pride.
Everything is perfect.
******
