My Little Pony: Age of Extinction
Chapter 6
Previous Chapter“Optimus? Optimus?” A voice was heard. Optimus’s optics slowly opened, spotting a colt in armor standing in front of him. “The Princesses are waiting on you.” Optimus nodded and began to stand up, turning towards the balcony where he lept off of last night. There he saw Princess Celestia and Princess Luna.
“I trust you slept well?” Celestia asked. Optimus only stared at her as Luna tapped her sister’s shoulder.
“He doesn’t sleep… remember?” Luna reminded her as Celestia blushed in embarrassment.
“Ah, of course. Well, we have discussed this last night, and we want Twilight to take you under her wing as a student of hers.” Celestia informed Optimus.
Optimus blinked in confusion. “A Student? I fear she might not be able to teach me anything sadly.” Optimus said only for Luna to step forward.
“Your story you told us last night, it was dark, no?” she asked to which Optimus nodded slowly.
“It’s a life I wish I never had to live…” Optimus replied with a hint of sadness in his voice.
“Tell me Optimus Prime… Did you have any friends in your life?” Luna continued.
“Affirmative… before the war… and a few managed to live long enough to join the autobot cause… only to perish… I suppose my only friend I have left is my Scout, Bumblebee… who has remained on earth.”
Celestia nodded. “In that case Optimus Prime, I ask you to go with my Student Twilight, and learn how to make friends again.” Optimus blinked at her response and looked down.
“Princess… I fear it may be far to late for me to make friends again…” he replied only for a new voice to be heard.
“Its never to late Optimus!” He looked up to see Twilight walk around the corner. “I have a student under my wing currently in another dimension, and she used to be cruel and mean before learning about friendship. Im sure you can learn about it as well!” She said while thinking ‘If I can teach it that is…’ Optimus turned to Celestia who nodded before looking back at Twilight.
“Very well Twilight Sparkle. I shall begin learning from you about friendship.” Twilight smiled and clapped her hoofs together.
“GREAT! In that case, we better head back to Ponyville quickly so I can plan out your lessons!” Twilight said before trotting off.
Optimus turned towards the Princesses’ and asked, “Is she always this gleeful about these kinds of things?” Celestia nodded.
“Sometimes it gets out of hand… but I have faith in her none the less, as you should.” Optimus nodded and turned around to head towards the train station.
“As you wish” he said before walking away.

“Ok, so with everything you told us in your story, I think I know the first thing I need to teach you.” Twilight said as she and Optimus walked into the Throne Room of her castle. “Were gonna have to bring you back to non-warrior ways before you can start to get closer to ponies to make friends.” Optimus looked at her in surprise. After he told her that he had a score to settle with his creators, she wanted him to give up fighting?
“Twilight, what I wouldn’t give to be the Autobot I was before the war… but Im no longer that Bot...” Optimus said frowning. It was indeed the truth. Twilight could see that in his face and optics, but she needed to do this.
“Optimus, not all of us are meant to live normal lives… I certainly didn’t plan on becoming an Alicorn. I wanted to spend my day’s learning magic and studying. That was it. After I made friends with the girls, I also wanted to spend time with them, and be a great friend to them! Then one day I messed up, swapping their destinies by accident. After solving the problem I made, I was made into an Alicorn and Princess. What were you like before the war?” Twilight said looking at Optimus.
“I… wasn’t always the Leader of the Autobots… in fact, I wasn’t always Optimus Prime… Before the war, I worked in Iacon at the hall of recorders. My name back then was Orion Pax. In your words… I was a librarian. All I did was study the history of our world and log in items for the future of Cybertron.” Twilight listened feeling sad about the life he lost.
“Optimus… I used to work in a Library. In fact, I still have one in my castle! Maybe we can start your lessons by bringing you back to the bot you were, Orion Pax.” Optimus blinked at being referred to by his old name. Twilight continued. “You can start working in my Library tomorrow to get yourself back to who you were. Once we get the warrior out, perhaps we can work on getting you to work with my friends to get you comfortable around other ponies before finally having you find friends to call your own!” Twilight said with a smile. Optimus nodded standing up to go to the Library.
“Thank you Twilight Sparkle.” He said before walking out.
“Your Welcome Orion… and Librarian’s don’t carry weapons!” Optimus turned around and set his sword and shield down before turning towards Twilight.
“While I know you have good intent’s, I am still a Prime, and as such, would ask that you call me Optimus, or Optimus Prime.” He said before walking off again.
Galvatron growled happily as he looked at his new part, the Dark Spark, sitting happily in his chest.
“Soon Optimus… I will cleave your head off and finally rule the Multiverse…” Galvatron then turned to Onslaught who was watching the Radar. “Have you got a fix on Optimus Prime?” Galvatron asked as Onslaught turned to face him.
“Yes sir, we have located him on a small planet called Eques.”
“Excellent Onslaught. Within 4 earth weeks, Optimus will fall… UGH!” Galvatron suddenly shouted as he grabbed at where the Dark Spark was.
“LORD GALVATRON, ARE YOU ALRIGHT?” Onslaught asked only for Galvatron to turn around, with a sword hilt sticking out of where the Dark Spark was. Galvatron grinned, grabbing the sword and pulling it out, staring at it in awe as pure dark energy leached off it.
“Its… so… evil… so… powerful… so… Full of Chaos…” Galvatron faced Onslaught smiling. “Id like to introduce you to The Dark Star Saber… SLAYER OF PRIMES!”
