For hours the battle between Optimus Prime and Megatron continues. Night falls, and still the giant robots continue to fight. The flashes of laser and fusion weapons light the dark sky. At last, nearly twelve hours after the battle began, Megatron begins to weaken.

"Give up, Megatron," says Optimus Prime. "You are nearly out of fuel!"

"Never!" cries Megatron. But Optimus Prime scores a direct hit. The evil Decepticon drops to the ground. Optimus Prime calls to Ratchet, who stayed in the shadows, unseen. Quickly Ratchet disarms the bombs around the Sun-Pak.

"It's a good thing Megatron ran out of power," says Optimus Prime. "That battle was the most exhausting one I've ever fought. I'm not sure I have enough power to roll home."

"Is that so?" says Ratchet. "In that case, I've got just the thing for you."

As the Autobots roll back to headquarters, a big semi-truck is in the lead. Is is Optimus Prime, as powerful as he was twelve hours ago. He has not refueled - but beneath his hood is the fully recharged Sun-Pak. "Great idea, Ratchet," he says. "I've never felt stronger. In fact, I can't wait for our next battle with the Decepticons!"

THE END.
