It was a normal day in Iacon, bots were rushing around to the mines for work. They got ready by wearing head lights and some pickaxes before moving the empty carts to the mines. The sound of pickaxes clinking against the rocks and muffled chatter can be heard. most of the miners were busy at work to get energon. Why? Well, apparently all the energon sources have gone empty when the matrix of leadership went missing. Now, they have to mine to get their energy. Two of the miners in the cave were Orion Pax and D-16. They were just mining normally until a sudden rock collapse happened. They got stuck under the rubble unlike the rest of the group. They both struggled for oxygen as their optics gone dim. They frailed desperately, calling for help. D-16 watched as he saw Orion struggle with him, holding his hand with him
D-16: "Am sorry, Pax. Perhaps in another life, we can be together again, sweetspark..." he mumbled under his breath, offlining Orion: "D, I...promise to find you again when that happens, my love..." he mumbled back before he went offline
It has been a while since that happened. Miners have been desperate to bring back their colleagues but it was too late. A few solar cycles later though, both of them were reborned. Orion Pax, now called Optimus Prime, was chosen by the Primes to lead the Autobots while D-16, now called Megatron, was chosen to lead the Decepticons. Both factions have been at war for stellar cycles now. Whenever they fought, something felt...familiar about each other but they couldn't remember. Not for now at least as they fought 1v1
Megatron: "You're quite persistent, Prime..." he said in his deep voice
YOU'RE OPTIMUS!
