The Autobots gasped.

Prime was stunned seeing himself, inert and at the mercy of the future Megatron.

"Impossible... I have managed to destroy Optimus Prime myself, though such moments were temporary, but this... this is unlike what I have imagined before." Megatron mulled.

Separated from the heavy cannon fire, Primal ordered "Concentrate your fire on that fusion cannon! If we can force a backblast-"

Which is what Cheetor and Rhinox were doing as they rained fire upon the fusion cannon Primal and Rattrap followed, then the latter took a deeper aim firing at the cannon, destroying it to pieces and knocking Blackarachnia out of commission. 

"We did it! Let's move!" Primal ordered. They converged on the Ark as quickly as possible.

"SAVE OPTIMUS PRIME, MAXIMALS! DON'T LET MEGATRON DESTROY HIM!" Bumblebee screamed, in support of the Maximals whom he hoped to save his father figure.

"YOU HEARD BUMBLEBEE! GET IN THERE AND SAVE OUR LEADER!" Warpath yelled next.

The Autobots, save for their dead quiet leader, cheered for the Maximals.

Megatron continued his monologue "So we are now face-to-face, Optimus Prime. In one future you awake and become the great leader of the Autobots. But time shall take a different track now." and takes aim at the inert Optimus Prime with his fusion cannon at the ready.

"NO!" screamed the Autobots.

"Computer. All available power to primary weapon." Megatron ordered.

[Weapon power to maximum.]

Meanwhile, the Maximals struggled to open the Ark's door.

"We have to get inside!" Primal ordered.

"HURRY!" yelled Bumblebee.

"It's jammed!" Rattrap gave up despite trying to hotwire the Ark's door fruitlessly "Oh, man, the power surge musta-"

Rhinox then stepped in by firing at the Ark's door controls, causing it to open up immediately.

Ironhide smirked.

"AND THAT'S HOW DOORS SHOULD BE OPENED!" Warpath yelled. "BUT NO TIME FOR KA-BLAM! GET IN THERE AND GET PRED-MEGS BEFORE HE TURNS OUR LEADER TO SCRAP, PRIMAL!"

"Hurry!" Primal immediately rushed forward inside as quickly as he can, right after Rhinox pulled the doors of the Ark enough to make an opening for his leader.

"And now, Optimus Prime. In memory of the Decepticons." Megatron maximized his weapon to it's full potential but he still grasped for more. "For the glory of the Predacons. For the Cybertron that is rightfully ours. And mine to rule."

"Come on, come on!" Primal demanded as Rhinox managed to budge open the doors of the Ark significantly.

"DO IT RHINOX! OPEN THE DOOR NOW!" Grimlock yelled.

"I unleash the storm of vengeance. Farewell." Megatron spat out spitefully then unleashed the fusion cannon's full blast at Optimus Prime.

"NO!!!!!" yelled the Autobots.

Prime was dead silent in witnessing his own demise.

But the events caused a time ripple which began to shake up the future's existence as was known to both Maximals and Predacons.

"Nooo! Time itself... is all being destroyed!" Primal yelled as the time ripples began to tear into his existence as did his subordinates.

"Say goodbye to the Universe, Maximals! The future has changed! Yess! The Autobots lose!" Megatron gloats at last, satisfied of his own victory yet he didn't appear to be happy about it at the slightest. "Evil triumphs! And YOU... you no longer EXIST!" he spits out of spite of the descedants that dared make slaves of his.

The Orb suddenly cuts off midway, and thus Omega Scion telekinetically boots the shocked and stunned audience out of his theater.

While they recovered from his telekinetic boot, Optimus Prime raises a data byte from Omega Scion himself that he reads aloud "I will need another 6 months to give you the next batch. In the meantime, feel free to take whatever time you need for the moment."

Everyone went back to their respective territories.
