章 57: The Touch Part 17
"So you think the disappearance of the Thirteen Primes has something to do with Megatronus Prime?" Elita-1 couldn't help but stare at the picture on the wall, her mind racing with several guesses, but none came to mind.
"The disappearance of the Thirteen is the greatest mystery in the history of Cybertron, it is unlikely that a single Prime like Megatronus is responsible, so logically there must be other factors contributing to their disappearance. Perhaps this phrase represents a side of Megatronus Prime's personality that has never been revealed." Orion put his hand to his chin as his mind worked to find another interpretation of the phrase on the wall describing D-16's idol. "While the Thirteen Primes were practically gods in their time, I don't think they were perfect. I found a specific report that said that every year on Cybertron, the Thirteen Primes met in their temple to discuss political, military and security matters for Cybertron, but it was said that only at these annual meetings did they all come together, meaning that they probably had a lot of arguments among themselves and avoided interacting unless necessary."
"Doesn't that mean the Thirteen had a lot of work to do? Maybe they barely had time to be together." Elita tried to be more optimistic.
"It's not an assumption that should be discarded, but since they were all very powerful and lived long before Cybertronian civilization, there's nothing to stop them from having their differences and avoiding meetings so as not to create confrontations among themselves. Prima Prime was known to be a strict leader when it came to the protection of Cybertron, perhaps he ordered the Primes to avoid confrontation and stay in their own zones, which each ruled." Orion explained, just theorizing with his ideas. "This factor must still be taken into account by the fact that each Prime is known to have led at least some specific cities and territorial zones in the past, such as Onyx Prime, Prima Prime, Liegue Maximus."
Elita's eyes widened as she finally understood Orion's thoughts, he was considering the strong personalities some Primes were known for. "Now I understand your reasoning, each Prime had qualities to lead, so there could be friction between them, that is, the disappearance of the Thirteen could be related to personal issues."
"Since the Primes probably avoided contact, the Knights of Cybertron were created to protect Cybertron and prevent more than one Prime from being in the same city." Orion crossed his arms, a little frustrated as this idea was only a guess, as there were rare reports of a more turbulent relationship between the Primes, supported only by records of the rivalry between Megatronus Prime and Prima Prime, along with isolated instances involving the Predacons commanded by Onyx Prime, which led to some disagreements with Megatronus Prime's Decepticons.
"That's a good theory, but if I'm not mistaken, Solus Prime had good relations with Micronus Prime and Onyx Prime, so your theory is inconsistent with her being known to have good relations with other Primes." Elita is a fan of Solus Prime for being the first female warrior within the race, she was naturally curious about who this Prime was, so she knew the stories that Solus Prime had good friendships with certain Primes. Although the legendary forger's personality was that of an introverted woman, as she was always in her workshop forging new relics.
Orion Pax agreed, but he knew that Elita was ignoring a very important detail. "On the contrary, Elita, think about it, the most powerful Primes had very strong personalities. It stands to reason that Onyx Prime and Megatronus Prime would have a more hectic rivalry with each other, since they are quite opposite, but when it came to the other Primes, since these two were among the strongest, they had nothing to worry about, since they did not feel threatened. Onyx Prime ruled a forest full of Predacons and Beasts, He must have developed a more bestial personality to keep the wild creatures under control, and on the other hand, Megatronus Prime was very popular because of his strength and the private army he created, which may have given him a boost in his more dominant personality, so perhaps it was common for Primes to stay away from others in their own zones, precisely on orders from Prima Prime."
"In other words, it's the old recipe for disaster to put them in the same room, the law of the more of the stronger in its purest form." Elita put her hands on her hips and looked at the Allspark. "Is that how they were?"
Elita waited for the Allspark to make a sound or to finish with another sudden movement, but it just floated in silence, but somehow it was even easy to think that it wasn't far from the truth.
"You know he won't answer, right?" Orion asked, still surprised that Elita was trying to get Cybertron's most powerful relic to casually communicate. "It's not like he's going to magically grow a mouth and answer."
Elita carefully picked up the Allspark and pretended to cover its imaginary ears, as if to protect it from Orion's words. "Shhhhhhh... he didn't mean it, he can be quite unkind sometimes."
"Stop treating him like a child, he's as old as Primus himself." Orion couldn't help but have a twitch in his eye when he saw Elita trying to irritate him with her jokes.
"Does it matter? I don't see him complaining when I hug him." Elita hugged the Allspark like she was hugging a stuffed animal, irritating Orion even more. "But anyway, these theories about the Primes are just theories, right?" She asked again, knowing that Orion was gifted with an unusual intelligence, and she knew that his instincts would be to investigate this split image of Megatronus Prime.
"I hope Sir. Alpha knows about this image." Orion whispered, but he tensed as he imagined that his mentor would be even more irritated to learn that he had been inside the Allspark Temple. "Or he'll rip my head off first... I'd better do some research on my own." Orion whispered, causing Elita to nod.
"It's better not to ask, if word gets out we'll both go to jail." Elita-1 scoffed, she couldn't resist being completely ironic to annoy Orion. "We're both in this together, so don't open your mouth."
Orion looked at Elita, he knew she liked to get under his skin sometimes, but to make him an accomplice in this mess was a bit much, although he does not deny that he feels honored to know the donor of his spark and all the other Cybertronians, it does not justify Elita having such a playful personality sometimes.
After a few minutes of conversation, Elita-1 and Orion Pax knew they had to leave the Holy Temple, it was still risky for both of them to be in a place with restricted access, so it was already a lot of adrenaline for just one day.
Orion walked slowly through the same hatch he had entered, his expression a little frightened as he was about to pass by the nest of sleeping Insecticons again. "Well... let's go again." Orion gave the Allspark a small wave goodbye and began to descend.
Elita petted the Allspark for a few seconds before preparing to close the hatch, but she noticed it approaching the hatch and trying to leave. "Ooooooww, sorry, but you have to stay here." She gently pushed the Allspark with her fingers, causing it to float in the opposite direction. "If you're not here, it will cause a global panic, I promise to visit you more often." Elita closed the hatch, causing the floor to transform and hide the alternate passageway without a trace, leaving the Allspark alone in the room, floating without anyone to keep it company. She felt really bad about it, but she had no choice, it would be crazy to take him somewhere more comfortable and without immediate consequences on the whole planet.
