Inside the most important temple on Cybertron, where the most important artifact in existence was kept, the Allspark floated in the air, showing no signs of life, just hibernating as always, a reality imposed on it since the end of the Age of Primes.
The moment of absolute silence was broken by the sound of gears changing shape, causing the ground to shift and reveal a hatch.
The Allspark spun on its axis, confused by the sudden noise, and hovered under the hatch, surprised by a very familiar female figure that visited him from time to time.
"Hi!! Look who's back!" Elita jumped out of the hatch, stretched out her arms, and hugged the Allspark like a stuffed animal. "Did you miss me?"
Orion, who was climbing the vertical ladder, preferred to pretend that Elita was not committing one of Cybertron's greatest crimes, touching the Allspark, because he had already imagined that she would do it anyway, and nothing he could say or do would stop her.
On the other hand, Alpha Trion froze when he heard Elita's words, for in his time, treating the Allspark so casually was considered disrespect of the highest order. Few were so casual with the Allspark, and Elita's casualness was almost an identical imitation of the behavior of Amalgamous Prime, who is someone very irresponsible and unpredictable.
Elita held the Allspark in her arms just to keep it from floating around the room, knowing that a simple touch could send it flying into the wall and crashing into it.
When Orion finally finished climbing the stairs, he looked around and admired the temple for a moment, but his gaze was focused on the image of Megatronus Prime, and he could not help but remember what Alpha Trion had told him about how Megatronus had allowed himself to fall into darkness while trying to realize his own concept of peace.
When it was Alpha Trion's turn to enter the temple, his eyes automatically focused on Cybertron's most important relic. But his moment of contemplation was shattered when he noticed how casually and disrespectfully Elita was carrying it.
"For Primus' sake, you could let him go! He's not a toy!" Alpha Trion scolded Elita. "He is the pillar of our world, he cannot be treated like a simple stuffed animal!"
Alpha Trion's mind turned to a nostalgic memory of Amalgamous Prime, who was always up to some prank for his own amusement, one of the many reasons he was one of the few Primes who did not have a specific role in the organization and protection of Cybertron, being too irresponsible, like a child.
"You're a rude bot, in the end it doesn't matter if you're a Prime or a legendary warrior, you're still a grumpy old man." Elita replied, irritated at being scolded for simply greeting the Allspark as she always does.
She is aware that her actions may be questioned, but she herself understands that the Allspark is not as fragile as many think.
"Elita, try to calm down, everyone would panic if they saw you doing this." Orion tried to ease the tension, but calming Elita's rage is not a task that can be accomplished, not even by a Prime.
"Anyway, I will treat him as I always do, otherwise he will get upset, we have a bond of friendship."
"You can't even communicate with him directly. How do you know if he likes you or not?" Alpha Trion asked, knowing that Elita and Orion had no way to communicate with the Allspark like he and his brothers could.
"Do you happen to know how to communicate with him?" Elita teased, practically challenging the old Prime.
Alpha Trion crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow, an answer only given by his silence, which made Elita open her eyes in surprise.
"Wait, can you talk to him?"
"That's pretty obvious when you think about it." Alpha Trion sighed and tried to regain his composure. It was the first time in millions of years that he was in front of the Allspark, and he had already completely lost his composure due to Elita's antics, like the Prime that he was.
Alpha Trion slowly began to lean forward, resting his old left knee on the floor while his right arm rested on his other leg. He lowered his head and began to speak in an ancient dialect that Orion did not understand at first, but he could make out a few words.
Elita stared at the old Prime with clear confusion in her eyes, she didn't understand why Alpha Trion was acting like this, whispering words to the wind.
One of the cyberglyphs on the artifact protecting the Allspark began to glow a sky-blue color, followed by another cyberglyph, one after the other, catching Elita's attention.
"Look at that." Elita said, seemingly mesmerized, causing Orion to look at the artifact.
Elita could feel an unimaginable power coming from the Allspark, she couldn't tell if it was a simple illusion of her own mind, but she was sure of what she saw. Her eyes stared at the artifact in awe, seeing something far beyond its outer shell, she could clearly see planets, stars, galaxies and much more beyond the cosmos, as if there were no limits to space and time.
Elita released the Allspark and it floated before her eyes, growing brighter and brighter, creating a great flash in the golden room.
She opened her eyes, a little dazed, and looked around to see that she was in a different place, along with Orion and Alpha Trion.
The three of them were on top of a gigantic iron mountain that had a hexagonal geological shape. They looked up at the sky and saw an incredible sight, countless auroras of different colors, each one representing a different being or Cybertronian species.
Orion looked to his left and saw several aurora borealis in the shape of metallic reptilian lizards flying in a flock, recognizing them as the Predacons, one of the most powerful races to ever inhabit Cybertron.
Orion realized how haunted Elita was, she didn't even seem to have the courage to move, as if she was afraid this extraordinary vision would disappear. He looked at his teacher and saw that he didn't even look surprised, but rather nostalgic. "This place is..."
"Yes, the Allspark. In its purest essence." Alpha Trion said, sitting in the lotus position on the floor. He closed his eyes and went into a meditative state.
