	Eventually they reached the [[Decepticon]] base and were granted sanctuary from Computron's pursuit. After Landquake explained their situation and they were introduced to Heatwave, Aquarius agreed with Megatron's hope that there could be a beneficial alliance between the Quintessons and the Decepticons.

	Fortunately, the five [[Nexus Prime]] members were able to undergo reunification and resurrect Megatron into Galvatron, {{storylink\|Reunification: Part 5}} and ultimately succeeded in fulfilling Aquarius's goal of stopping Omega Doom. Aquarius then chose to accompany Nexus in a trip through a Stellar Spanner the Decepticons had confiscated from Alpha Trion's laboratory. He warned that the open channel could send them anywhere, but Nexus trusted in fate to guide them both on the next leg of [[Star Saber (~~Prima~~)\|Nexus's personal destiny]]. {{storylink\|Reunification: Part 6}}		Fortunately, the five [[Nexus Prime]] members were able to undergo reunification and resurrect Megatron into Galvatron, {{storylink\|Reunification: Part 5}} and ultimately succeeded in fulfilling Aquarius's goal of stopping Omega Doom.

	Nexus's personal journey ended up taking him and Aquarius from one universe's Cybertron to the next. In [[Primax 509.28 Epsilon\|one destination]], they found themselves surrounded by Decepticons as they arrived—Decepticons who didn't approve of an [[Autobot]] traveling around with a Quintesson.

	As the two defended against the attack, Aquarius mused to himself about their journey so far, going over in his mind the events that led to Nexus becoming whole again, and their current search for Primus-knows-what. He also lamented the fact that Nexus preferred to hide his powers and identity and fight as if he were a normal Transformer, as the peaceful Aquarius found his kind were frequently not welcome, and he tended to get stepped on as a result.

	Eventually Nexus sent the Decepticons packing, and he decided to finally let Aquarius in on what they were searching for.

	But then a chance spotting of [[:File:Cyb Elite Guard Badge.png\|a special symbol]] jogged his memory, and Nexus explained that he now finally knew for sure where to look next.

	While perusing information on Quintessons from the [[Axiom Nexus Cybernet Infocore]] at [[Axiom Nexus]], Aquarius took delivery of a shard of the "[[Star Saber (~~Prima~~)\|Cosmic Blade]]" that Nexus Prime needed, and promised the [[Chifumi Takahashi\|courier]] that he would help her get home. {{storylink\|Transformers I.Q.#issue 48\|Transformers I.Q. last issue review}}		While perusing information on Quintessons from the [[Axiom Nexus Cybernet Infocore]] at [[Axiom Nexus]], Aquarius took delivery of a shard of the "[[Star Saber (Thirteen)\|Cosmic Blade]]" that Nexus Prime needed, and promised the [[Chifumi Takahashi\|courier]] that he would help her get home. {{storylink\|Transformers I.Q.#issue 48\|Transformers I.Q. last issue review}}

	As the two defended against the attack, Aquarius mused to himself about their journey so far, going over in his mind the events that led to Nexus becoming whole again, and their current search for Primus-knows-what. He also lamented the fact that Nexus preferred to hide his powers and identity and fight as if he were a normal Transformer, as the peaceful Aquarius found his kind were frequently not welcome, and he tended to get stepped on as a result.

While the rest of his race harp on great care in dealing with other races, Aquarius moves to the beat of a different drum, you dig?

	Aquarius is a strange kinda cat, possessing a consciousness that's been split into five distinct and independent, yet highly co-operative personalities: Joy, Compassion, Peace, Love, and Satisfaction. He's got some pretty far-out powers to go along with them, too, including teleportation, the projection of trippy telepathic visions and illusions, and the ability to groove on the language of 98% of all known species. To use his powers to the fullest, though, he's gotta be feelin' good vibrations; bad karma can seriously harsh his mellow, y'know?

	When [[Heatwave (Timelines)\|Heatwave]] was sent on an involuntary trip through a [[stellar spanner]] to [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]], he had odd sensations of joy, happiness, compassion, love, and satisfaction.

Aquarius explained it was he, rather than Alpha Trion, who had brought them to Cybertron, and informed them of [[Optimus Prime (SG)\|Optimus Prime]]'s latest and deadliest project: [[Omega Doom]]. Aquarius also told them that, in order to stop Omega Doom, they would need to talk to [[Megatron (SG)\|Megatron]] to find their last member, Heatwave.

	Aquarius ended up finishing his explanation as they ran for it: He had discovered that the [[Omega Terminus]] was linked through a multiversal network to another computer called [[Vector Sigma]], which had a recall program for a weapon/warrior.

	Eventually they reached the [[Decepticon]] base and were granted sanctuary from Computron's pursuit. After Landquake explained their situation and they were introduced to Heatwave, Aquarius agreed with Megatron's hope that there could be a beneficial alliance between the Quintessons and the Decepticons.
