Line 23:		Line 23:
	As he releases his hold on Arko and fires a beam of golden energy directly into Grimlock's body, a bolt of lightning heralds the arrival of Soltron's immaterial essence as he appears somewhere ... ''else'', in a strange realm somewhere beyond the mortal coil. Soltron quickly realizes that he's been had and shouts for Grimlock to show himself; a second bolt of lightning heralds the arrival of the [[Dinobot (G1)\|Dinobot]] leader as he obliges Soltron's request. This is no trick—after all, Grimlock told him that he'd see a universe, he just never said which one. This metaphysical plane is Grimlock's own spark, his own personal universe... and in this universe, Grimlock rules! It's round two as the pair vie for dominance over the body; disgusted by Soltron's appropriation of the [[Autobot]] insignia, the Dinobot leader vows that Soltron will not use his face to oppress the people of Menonia. Soltron thinks otherwise, and screams that his body will oppress Menonia for generations. His incorporeal body might burn under the weight of Soltron's magical assault, but Grimlock growls that he's tricked Soltron into surrendering his greatest power: outside, he's a god, but in here, there's only room for ''one'' ruler... Grimlock! In one swift motion, Grimlock rips Soltron's skin from his body, a decisive execution that shatters his avatar and leaves nothing but a burning skeleton. Golden light envelops Soltron's skull as he finally dies, cursing his killer all the while: he hasn't saved the people of Menonia, only prolonged their suffering.

Golden light envelops Soltron's skull as he finally dies, cursing his killer all the while: he hasn't saved the people of Menonia, only prolonged their suffering.

	In the real world, Grimlock comes ~~too~~ as a small but familiar hand taps his visor—Arko's hand, whose owner asks if Grimlock still lives. Grimlock's systems slowly come back on line as he groans that Soltron is finally dead; as the eclipse finally ends and the rays of the sun once more bathe Menonia in light, Grimlock announces that, for the first time since he arrived in this strange land, today is a good day. When Arko asks why Grimlock came back after everything that's transpired between them, Grimlock admits that he misunderstood the real meaning of strength: it's not right to fight someone's battles ''for'' them, but only a coward would refuse to fight ''alongside'' someone. Had Arnak and Nerea not assisted Grimlock, he could not have bested Soltron in combat. When Arko sees her father's prone body, weakened from overexertion, she promptly rushes to his side; although Nerea explains that the strain of maintaining the spell for so long has taken years off Arnak's life, her father explains that he'd gladly do it again if meant saving his daughter. However, their victory has come at a cost; when Soltron died, so too did the magical [[energon]] that sustained him lose its arcane power. Without that energon, there's no way for Grimlock to return home... perhaps, Arnak suggests, Grimlock could lead [[Valerift]] in his place? Grimlock considers the offer for a moment, but ultimately turns it down, for his adventures in Menonia have taught him that Menonia belongs to ''Menonians''. If they need a new leader, they've got one right there—Arko herself. Although Arko initially thinks she's not up to the task, Grimlock reminds her that her warrior spirit will earn back the trust she lost, and that she can channel her anger to crush the mistakes of her past and conquer a better future for them all. Nervously, Arko smiles, and asks if they'll have her back...		In the real world, Grimlock comes to as a small but familiar hand taps his visor—Arko's hand, whose owner asks if Grimlock still lives.

Nervously, Arko smiles, and asks if they'll have her back...

	Some time later, the citizens of Valerift have found a workaround to their problem by tapping and enchanting a sample of Grimlock's own energon to create a temporary magical bridge back to [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]]. There's just enough magic for one trip, and as Grimlock bids his new friends goodbye and steps into the portal, a familiar set of mechanical arms shoot out and drag Grimlock back to Cybertron. After yanking Grimlock out of the mysterious magical rift and safely depositing him in [[Harmonex]], [[Optimus Prime (G1)\|Optimus Prime]] is confused: from his perspective, the Dinobot was only away for a few seconds, but looks far worse for wear. Grimlock briefly relates his adventure in Menonia, and Optimus immediately understands what happened... he's surprised, however, when Grimlock explains what he's learned from his adventure. Although he might not agree with ''everything'' Optimus has to say, his adventure has taught him that strength can indeed go hand-in-hand with mercy. Flanked by the Dinobots, a bemused Optimus can only welcome Grimlock home: warrior, rebel, defender, avenger... and, above all, ''king!''
