One thousand years later. Kяσпσƨ had not surfaced for so long that the other Titans had stopped worrying about him. All except for Optimus, who, no matter what the others said, couldn't stop worrying about Kяσпσƨ. He was constantly increasing his army, creating failsafe after failsafe; he became so obsessed with his fear to the point where he couldn't think about anything else. He retreated into himself leaving a broken, muttering, shell for his cohorts. In a desperate attempt to get their leader back, the other Titans made fake remains of Kяσпσƨ, hoping it would bring Optimus out of his stupor. When they showed it to him, it worked...sort of. Optimus now believed that Kяσпσƨ was dead, but that made him think about what had happened to Kяσпσƨ. This sparked a mission for Optimus; Kяσпσƨ had obviously found something, otherwise he wouldn't be dead, now Optimus needed to figure out what Kяσпσƨ had found.
