Hi everyone! This takes place in the same universe as "Ratchet's Journey." This was something I brainstormed over a few years before I started writing, so I've had time to refine it. So, I'm making a third story set in this universe, and a fourth as a small spin-off event. To throw in a little light in the dark, I'll tell you some things about the story's universe in the Author's Notes at the end. But for now, enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own Transformers or Fairy Tail.

The war was over, finished. At least, Optimus hoped that was the case.

In the end, he made the ultimate sacrifice. But the universe isn't about to let him go peacefully yet. The Thirteen original Primes send Optimus to Earthland, and world filled with magical power, wonderful sights, and perilous dangers. Why was he sent there? What could possibly be so important to the Primes that Optimus must go? And most importantly, why must he take on the form of a human?

Pain. White-hot, searing pain.

But nevertheless, the deed was done. He could stop, and finally rest his weary head. He felt a massive thud as he hit the ground, dying, crippled, withered. The one sensation he felt was magnified was exhaustion: He felt so tired, all that restlessness finally caught up to him.

Did he win? Was the big, bad villain behind everything he was born to defeat finally gone?

Yes. Yes it was.

It was strange. He felt so delirious that it seemed like an outside force was putting thoughts into his head. Come to think of it, he shouldn't even be alive. His body was ripped and torn apart to where he should, by rights, be dead and gone.

His ears were failing him, he was going deaf. But he could feel his surroundings. He could feel them, his brave soldiers, thudding and scurrying to his side. They were desperate, trying to rescue his Spark from snuffing itself out.

His head fell back into the cold, lifeless ground. His blinked slowly, he couldn't move much anymore. He didn't even have the strength to close his fist.

He could hear their softening words in his ears, "Optimus! Optimus!" They called.

Bumblebee crouched over Optimus, attempting to pick up the Prime in his arms, a noble warrior indeed. Optimus slowly turned his head to look at his faithful scout in the eyes. Bumblebee fought his emotions, failing to hold back his crying. "My dear friend..." He mumbled tiredly, "Do...Don't be so upset, young one...When...Time comes, you shall reach higher...Than me."

For a moment, for the first time ever upon Cybertron, it started to rain, and the ground had become warm and inviting.

He smiled under what was left of his faceplate. The Devil's Grin, one would call it. He saw the end, and it was nothing. No Allspark, no Inferno, nothingness if he ever saw it was staring him in the face.

Finally, it consumed his vision, and Optimus Prime was no more...

...Or so he thought.

When he opened his optics again, he found himself standing up straight. His body healed...no...his body had completely changed to another form. This body was so sleek, smooth, supple, as if he was a protoform, and yet, wasn't. (See TransTech Optimus Prime)

"W-where...Am I?"

"Relax."

The response startled him, he didn't think anyone was there to answer his question. He looked up from his body, to see the environment he currently inhabited. The skies were purple, the ground was grey and smooth, it felt like nighttime, the horizon in every direction was obscured by thick, smokey gray fog, hazing about all around him.

"You can at least look for me." The respondent said, offended by Optimus' lack of attention. Optimus stopped to heed the voice's request, eventually turning around. A figure, sitting in a cross-legged position, floated at face level with the Prime. The figure was tiny, like a Minicon. "M-Micronus Prime?" Asked Optimus, hesitation lingering in his voice. "Yup!" Replied the floating Minicon. "I guess you wanna know what's happening here." Assumed Micronus, "Well, you may have won your last fight. But the universe still needs you, Optimus." Optimus blinked in confusion.

What was going on? Nothing made sense anymore. "So!" Continued Micronus, "We pulled your Spark away from your body before your dying corpse could take your Spark with you."

"We?" Questioned Optimus.

"I'm impressed! I was betting that you'd be questioning how you're here." Commented Micronus, "But, since you asked. Yes, We, the Thirteen Primes, all concurred to bring you before us."

Optimus didn't know how to feel, Micronus Prime was talking to him, the Primes rescued his Spark from burnout, and now he was trapped in a strange limbo to meet his saviors.

"Assuming you understand what's going on here, I'll be brief on why you were brought here. Y'see, as I said before, the universe still needs you, Optimus." Explained Micronus, "There's trouble that we need to face and you're the only one of us who can. Look, I know, you were expecting that you'd finally be able to rest in the Allspark, that your job was done, but we need you, the universe needs you."

Optimus had absolutely no clue what Micronus was talking about.

He sounded desperate for some reason, and he couldn't understand why he, specifically him, had to be the one to undertake a vital mission he knew nothing about. In fact, it seemed that none of the Primes were willing to undertake this mission, and so decided to pluck him to get him to do it for them.

So, Optimus responded as best as he could, "What do you need me to do."

Micronus perked up, "Thank you! Getting to the point, you think Cybertron was the only place that needed help? No, it wasn't. There's another planet, a place called Earthland, filled with creatures similar to those you dealt with on Sol 3. The difference here is that there's something they call 'Magic.' So, we've decided that we're providing you with a brand-new body that you can use to adapt to this new world!"

Optimus hesitated to speak, for all he had was bare understanding of what this mission entailed.

Micronus must've picked up on his confusion, as he said next, "I know you don't understand, but I'm sure you can figure it out." Sounds of marching could be heard from behind Optimus.

The Prime whipped his head around to see the cause of such commotion. It was the rest of the Primes, his forebears. "Micronus," Bellowed one Prime, "I trust you've eased our young successor in gently?"

"Aw, c'mon Alpha Trion! You know we don't have time for that!" Micronus defended himself. "You are correct, but we must be patient. If we were to throw the young one into the fray too early-!"

"He'll survive." Finished Micronus. "He will, indeed, not survive if he is ill-prepared for his mission!" Argued Alpha Trion. Optimus spoke up, "I believe that I, alone, will be the judge of that." Alpha Trion, whom did his best to hide embarrassment, replied, "I see...I take it you accept your mission?"

"Indeed, Alpha Trion."

With hints of disappointment lingering in his voice, Alpha Trion said, "Very well then." Optimus would've asked why, but decided not to in order to maintain simplicity. Alpha Trion began to explain the situation in better detail. "Optimus, you have been chosen for a very serious task. One of utmost attention and focus. Ancient powers are at play. I cannot divulge them to you now; for you must forge your own path."

"I see now." Confirmed Optimus.

"You must know your battlefield, young one." Piped up Onyx Prime. This Prime was the biggest out of the rest, his lower torso was similar to the mythical earth-creature known as the Centaur. He had four legs, and a pair of massive wings. His four eyes gleamed golden, as did the spark in his chest. "What may I inquire, my predecessor?" Asked Optimus.

"This world has an indigenous species of humans, but not the same as them. For what Earthen humans have in ingenuity, these humans have in power. Their technology isn't like Earthen humans, either." Rambled the winged centaur. "Enough!" Snapped Alpha Trion, who became impatient. "We've concurred what must be done, let be over with then!" He ranted.

"What may that be?" Inquired Optimus

Quintessa Prime stepped forward, "Child of mine, your body must be changed." Her body seemed as if it were coated in tendrils, but woven together into an elegant gown. A large ring clung to her back, her chest left a hole, exposing her spark. "Mother, what do you mean?" Asked the youthful Prime. "The Matrix has gone inert, it cannot provide you a new body." Quintessa had wrapped her arms around Optimus in a motherly embrace. "Dear child, you've broken yourself, why must you upset me so?"

As the Prime of life embraced her youth, his body's surface became light. "W-what are you doing?!" Asked Optimus.

"Dear child, you need a body to live in." Said the mother. Optimus' body was full of tingling sensations. It felt like he was flexing a muscle, but in an out-of-body experience. His reflective, metal skin began to soften. His body diminished in physique as his body went from technological to organic. He was born anew.

His body now looked like a naked human male's. Key differences the separated his from a real human's were numerous. His golden eyes were a little glassy, his eyelids had deep, dark bags, as if he were sleep-deprived. The only hair on his body was on his scalp, which had a deep navy blue color. And his spark was now view-able from the center of his chest. If he were to guess, this human form reflected physical traits of his true form.

"B-but why?" Asked the young Prime.

"As stated before, the path you forge is your own." Restated Alpha Trion, "We cannot guide you all the way. The most we can do is give you the starting point."

"What becomes of me now?"

"That, is for you to decide."

Vector Prime then walked up to his up successor. The Prime of time and space placed his hand on Optimus' human head, "You must go now. But never forget Young One, that I will always watch over you from anywhere in time and space."

"Wait!"

But, much to Optimus Prime's expectations, Vector Prime did not. And all Optimus could see was white.

Unknown

Optimus jolted awake. His vision was quickly blinded with natural sunlight. His new form should've felt foreign to him. But strangely, it did not. He picked himself up off the lush, green, grassy ground as he examined himself once more.

Now, he was clothed. He wore armor, reminiscent of his true form. The armor was more tailored to his human form, rather than meshing with the fragments that made up his alt mode. He made simple movements to test reactions, and found that there was no difference from before. As he completed checking his new form, he began to look around.

The Prime quickly spotted a port town not that far away.

Optimus simply walked into the town, as it was fairly open to anyone. The streets were bustling with citizens, merchants, fishermen, and shopkeepers. Many who gazed upon him looked in awe, gawking that a powerful-looking warrior was among them. "Perhaps this new form isn't as convincing as I first believed." Optimus thought to himself.

After trekking for several minutes over the lively streets, Optimus found an alleyway. He strolled down, marveling how lightweight his body felt. Suddenly he came across a rather sickly-looking young boy.

This young man had spiky, pink hair. A red jacket, and shorts. He stumbled alongside a strange, blue miniature creature. "Excuse me, young man. But you look quite ill for one to be moving around so much." Said the Prime.

"Don't worry about it!" Said the small, blue creature as the two turned to face the approaching Optimus. "This happens all the time when Natsu travels." Optimus blinked as he heard the small one. "What're your names?" He asked, changing subject.

The boy gave a mischievous grin before he proudly declared, "I'm Natsu! And this is Happy!" Natsu pointed to his small companion. "What's yours?" Asked Happy. "I see no reason to lie. My name is Optimus Prime."

"That's a weird name."

"But a name nonetheless, Natsu. Your name is as strange and foreign to me as mine is to yours." Preached Optimus. "Huh?" Was Natsu's reaction. "What brings you to this town?" Asked Optimus. "We're looking for Igneel, the Salamander!" Declared Happy. "I see. If you would permit me, I would like to join you two." Said Optimus. "Yeah! Come on!" The two agreed to grant the Prime's request.

The trio then began to make their way down the alley when they heard, "SALAMANDER! YOU'RE SO DREAMY! SO HOT!" Natsu and Happy quickly perked up, "Salamander?!" They said eagerly in unison.

The Natsu and Happy then began to run towards the source of the commotion, eager to meet the being in question. "Ha! Well speak of the Devil, we're in luck today Happy!"

"Aye!"

Optimus quickly closed the distance between him and the duo, "Calm down. I've learned long ago that when something is too good to be true, it's usually because it is." He cautioned.

Natsu, not heeding the elder's warning, burst through the crowd trying to get the Salamander's attention. "IGNEEL! IGNEEL IT'S MEEE-!" The boy stopped abruptly as his eyes laid upon Salamander, his anticipation quickly turning to disappointment.

The "Salamander" was an average-looking adult male. His hair was navy blue, and had sideburns. He wore a purple cape, and wine-red dress pants. In turth, Optimus didn't think of the description as matching to one who was named a Salamander.

"Who the heck are you?" Natsu asked. The man was stunned by the blunt question. "Who am I?! I am Salamander! Surely, you've heard of me before?" Said the man, quickly trying to regain his composure. But Natsu had already moved on before Salamander noticed, "Hey! Wait a minute!" Cried Salamander.

It took mere seconds for a mob of Salamander's fan-girls to catch up to Natsu. They began to beat him into submission, ridiculing him for ignoring the famous Salamander. Optimus wasn't going to let that stand. His dull, golden eyes quickly became lively and angry. He made a hard stomp before commanding with utmost boldness, "ENOUGH!" With his single command, the mob quickly dispersed.

Salamander quickly did what he could to remedy the situation. "Now, now girls. Please let him go, I'm sure the poor boy didn't mean anything malicious by it." He said, quickly returning to his suave demeanor. Almost all the girls had quickly fallen docile, powerless to Salamander's charming words. That is, save one.

A blonder girl, whom stood a little distant from the crowd, giving Salamander a glare. As if he'd wronged her, and she was quite angry about it.

Salamander took a pen and a board, and began to write. He then handed the board to Natsu as he said, "Here's my autograph, kid. Now you can brag to all your friends!" Natsu gave him a deadpan look as he replied, "No thanks."

Again, the fan-girls mobbed and rioted over Natsu. Unfortunately, Optimus didn't stop them in time. They left him a twitching, heaping mess on top of several broken barrels.

Happy walked up as he commented, "Guess it wasn't him after all..." Optimus could hear the disappointment in his voice. "Don't fret, Happy. Sometimes one misfortune leads to a greater fortune."

"Well," Said Salamander, "I'm afraid I must be going ladies. I have business to attend to." The girls, all distraught, said, "You're leaving ALREADY?!" Salamander smiled as he snapped his fingers, "Time for the Red Carpet, HA!" As a fiery-red magic circle appeared in front of his hand. Suddenly, a ring of purple fire surrounded him. And then took form as a string of fire, giving Salamander a floating platform to ride.

"I'm having a soiree on my yacht tonight. And you're all invited!" He declared proudly as he took to the air. The crowds of fans quickly dissipated. Optimus went to help Natsu get up. "Who the heck was that guy?" Asked the young boy.

"I dunno, but he was a real creep." Said a girl's voice. The trio all turned their heads to the newcomer. It was the blonde girl from before, She was more noticeable due to her dissatisfied reaction to Salamander. "Thank you for your help." She said cheerfully.

And Then...

"My name's Lucy. It's nice to meet you." Said Lucy. "Aye!" Cheered Happy. Natsu was currently stuffing his face full of food. "U-um...Natsu and Happy, was it?" Said Lucy, trying to distract herself from the mess Natsu was making. The group exchanged remarks until Lucy remembered someone else was next to her. "Hey, what's your name?" She asked, turning to Optimus.

"I am Optimus Prime. I'm not from around here, in case you're wondering." He answered. Lucy giggled as she changed topics, "Evidently, that Salamander guy was using magic, a charm spell, to hypnotize the ladies in town into thinking they were in love with him. Charm Spells have the power to attract people to you, against their own will. But they've been banned for years! Nobody even sells them anymore."

"Perhaps there is an ulterior motive at play." Reasoned Optimus.

"Yeah, what a creep!" Said Lucy, before noticing something different about Optimus. "Hey, you haven't eaten a thing. If you're worried about-!"

"Unlike most, I don't require much. In my years, I've had to become more fuel-efficient. Especially when my comrades and I were-! Actually, a story for another time." Lucy wanted to pursue the topic, but respected Optimus' privacy. "I totally fell victim, but I snapped out of it when you came barging in when you did. I really can't thank you guys enough! I know I may not look like it, but I'm a wizard too!"

Lucy then went on a tangent of Wizards, Guilds, and Magic. Optimus, despite no one else paying attention, listened with great intrigue.

"Oh man, I almost forgot. You guys came here trying to find somebody, didn't you?" Asked the blonde as she snapped back to attention. "Aye! We're looking for Igneel!" Cheered Happy. Natsu set down his food and explained, "We heard a rumor that a Salamander was gonna be coming through this town, so we came here to see him. Turns out it was somebody else."

"Yeah, that guy didn't look like a Salamander at all!"

"No kidding, I bet that poser can't even breath fire like a real dragon."

Lucy was confused, Optimus was interested. "I don't get it, your friend Igneel looks like a dragon?" Asked Lucy. "No, you got it all wrong." Said Natsu, "He doesn't look like a dragon, he is one."

Shock coursed throughout Lucy as she tried to comprehend the statement. "Aye! Igneel is a real-life fire dragon!" Said Happy. This put Lucy into an even bigger shock. "Why would a fire dragon show up in the middle of town?!" She asked frantically.

Natsu and Happy both prepared a defense, but were cut short but Lucy continuing herself, "It's totally ridiculous!" Optimus turned calmly, before saying, "I have seen many sights I've yet to explain. But a dragon is perfectly reasonable for me." Lucy snapped her head to the Autobot, as he said his outlandish statement. She was about to say something, but held her tongue instead.

"A-anyway," She said, clearly still in shock from the revelations, "Enjoy the rest of your lunch."

Lucy walked to the door. A waitress bade her goodbye, just before she made a face of shock, looking behind Lucy. Lucy turned around to see what gave the waitress a fright, and found Natsu and Happy, grovelling as they said, "Thank you for the food! Thank you!"

"Cut it out! You're embarrassing me!"

The children all exchanged their remarks as Optimus lost himself in thought. They were very intense for their age. It warmed the Prime's Spark to see such positive energy. He thoughts began to drift back to what he was brought to this strange new world for.

Even after all that had happened to the Prime, he still found the nature of recent events hard to swallow. He left the diner as he felt a new sensation. The air held something afoul, sinister. As if something, or rather, someone, was waiting for him.

The warm, summer night descended upon the town. Optimus found himself wandering, pondering. His body felt so nimble, as if his armor were a part of him. His full physical abilities, they had all returned to him as though they hadn't left. He stood upon a balcony, letting the moonlight shine upon him.

He also wondered if his armor still had its additions.

He made different signs with his hands, each one had a different purpose. One sign triggered a sword from the wrist, another triggered a hook the size of his head. During the strife of combat, he needed as many tricks up his sleeves as he could get. He still had many more of them.

It was then that he saw something in the night sky.

His eyes narrowed, he realized he still had telescopic vision. He'd chanced to find Happy...With wings? He also saw Lucy, wearing a red dress, with Happy's tail around her waist.

It didn't take a genius to know there was trouble afoot.

He leapt off the balcony. Much to his surprise, he made a farther distance in his jump than he'd ever made possible, even with boosters. He tucked and rolled the moment he hit the ground. As his feet hit the pavement, he broke into a sprint for the port. He also found that he was shockingly as fast as his truck mode's top speed. Dust trailed behind him as raced onward.

But the moment he reached the port, a colossal wave was making its way right for the port!

He braced as the wave collided with him head-on. Remarkably, he managed to hold his ground. As the dust and water cleared away, he spied people running in terror, a ship that had been beached on its side, and many suspicious-looking humans. The first good sight he saw was both Happy and Lucy, they sat right next to a creature he'd learned was called a Mermaid.

He jogged to their side, "Happy! Lucy!" He called. The mermaid, Happy, and Lucy turned to see him, "Optimus!" They called back. The Mermaid jolted, her face became stricken with shock. "Are you alright? What happened?" The Mermaid, enthralled by shock, disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Optimus blinked in surprise, but prioritized Lucy and Happy first. He helped Lucy to her feet as he heard from behind him, "So you claim to be a member of the Fairy Tale Guild?" He turned around, only to find Natsu standing atop the crashed boat. The boy's face was serious, angered.

"So what's it to you?" Sassed Salamander, "Go get 'im, men!" His goons acknowledged their orders, and proceeded to rush Natsu. "Look out!" Cried Lucy. Happy eased her panic "Don't worry 'bout him. I probably should've said this earlier, but Natsu's a wizard too!" Happy's remark put a surprise on Lucy, and it showed.

Natsu slapped aside Salamander's henchmen in a single stroke, throwing away his jacket alongside them, "My name is Natsu, I'm a Fairy Tail wizard! And I've never seen you before!" He declared.

Salamander was stunned, his bluff had fallen apart. "You gotta be kidding me!" Lucy cried, "Natsu's a Fairy Tail wizard?!" An emblem, Optimus could only assume was Fairy Tail's, was displayed upon Natsu's right shoulder.

A henchman confirmed his hunch, "That mark on his arm!" He cried in panic, "This guy's the real deal, Bora!"

Salamander faced the panicked goon, "Don't call me that you dumbass!"

"I know him!" Explained Happy, "That's Bora the Prominence. Rumor has it that he was kicked out of the Titan Nose wizard Guild a couple years ago because of bad behavior."

Natsu marched his way down the boat, "I dunno what your tryin' to do here buddy. And I don't care if you're a good guy, bad guy, or what! I'm not gonna let you dirty the Fairy Tail Guild's name!"

"And what're you gonna do about it? Stop me? PROMINENCE TYPHOOON!" Bora roared. A Magic Circle formed in front of the devious man, and unleashed a gigantic burst of purple flame. Natsu remained where he stood, becoming enveloped by the fire. "Natsu!" Cried Lucy, she tried to run towards the fire, but Happy had flapped open his wings to block her path.

Bora, believing Natsu had been killed, taunted, "That's the way it goes. The bigger the talk, the weaker the man, hmph." Bora then turned to leave before he heard "Ugh! This is so gross!" Bora snapped around, stunned to hear Natsu's voice, "Are you sure that you're really a fire wizard? Cuz these're the nastiest flames I ever tasted!" Said Natsu as he began to breath in the flames, as though they were food.

Everyone, save Optimus and Happy, yelped in shock. Natsu had finished his strange act as he scoffed, "Thanks for the grub, poser."

It was at this moment Lucy and Natsu realized Optimus was no longer next to them.

"Now I got a fire in my belly that's just-!" Natsu heard behind him, "Natsu. I will deal with Bora, take care of the others!" He yelped and jumped, seeing as how Optimus was standing directly behind him. "Hey! Who's that guy? Where'd he come from!"

Optimus leapt off the ship, aiming directly for Bora. Bora recovered from his shock, and leapt away. "Here goes!" Said Natsu. The boy's cheeks puffed up, he leaned back as they puffed to the size of a watermelon. He then put his hands together like a pipe, a magic circle formed in front of him as he exhaled into his hands, he shouted, "FIRE DRAGON ROAAAAAR!" A massive stream of fire flew from his hands, flying right for Bora's henchmen.

The attack caused a huge explosion, one that could be seen from far outside of the town. A goon that managed to remain mostly unharmed had said, "Hey Bora! I swear I've seen this guy before! The pink hair, and the scaly-lookin' scarf? There's no doubt about it! He's gotta be the real one!"

"Salamander?!" Lucy concluded, her mind was going blank from one surprise after another.

Bora used his "Red Carpet" spell. Optimus had seen it earlier. Optimus rushed forward, charging right for Bora. "RED SHOWER!" Shouted Bora, sending multiple pellets of fire down upon him.

Optimus knew that Bora was desperate.

Optimus put his hand forward, as though he was signaling "Stop." Suddenly, an energy shield had appeared from his hand. Bystanders watched in awe. Optimus pressed onward, shield in front. He leapt high into the air, smacking Bora off his Red Carpet. Optimus landed on his feet, Bora crashed into the ground. Bora recovered, summoning another Red Carpet.

He became airborne before turning back to Optimus and shouting "HELL PROMINENCE!" A purple energy beam streaked across the town, a second passed before a column of explosion had followed the beam's trail.

Although Optimus was mostly unharmed, the same could not be said for his surroundings. He had to stop this, now.

A ball of blue light formed in the Prime's hand. He raised his hand before him, before firing a concentrated energy beam of his own. Bora returned fire with, "RED SKULL!" He sent a ball of purple fire down at Optimus.

Optimus leapt for the projectile, and cleaved it in two with an energy axe.

Bora screamed in terror as Optimus revved up a final attack. Optimus clasped his hands together. He brought them close to his chest, declaring, "I've had enough of this! IT'S OVER BORA!" Optimus then pushed his hands out, firing a powerful energy beam.

The attack connected with Bora. The result sent the Prime's foe flying, eventually crashing into a bell. A loud gong! could be heard, and Bora slumped to the floor, defeated and knocked out cold.

Optimus landed on his feet once more. He surveyed the town. Despite how much damage had been done, it still could've been a lot worse without control. The Prime had also found that Natsu heeded his order, for whatever reason, he couldn't find the answer.

The sound of marching could be heard in the distance. Lucy turned to see the source, "The army?!" She was suddenly yanked away by Natsu, who took off running. "Holy crap!" Cried Natsu, "We gotta get outta here!"

Lucy yelped, "Where are you taking me?!"

"Just come on! Y'said that you wanted to join the Fairy Tail Guild, didn't ya?!"

Lucy met eyes with Natsu, as he then said with a smile, "So let's go!" She smiled as she then followed Natsu, "Alright!"

Happy, Lucy, and Natsu all took off running. Optimus lingered for some time, he could feel something, an urge to accompany them. Optimus' journey had just begun, but none of his questions had found answers. Perhaps he should stay with them until his answers were found.

He then took off running, quickly catching up with the trio.

"If I may, I wish to join you as well."

"Sure!"

A/N: Done and done! I feel really good about this story. As mentioned before, this takes place in the same universe as Ratchet's Journey, but there's still a third story I need to write to set up the entirety of my plan.

So, as promised, here's some things to know about the future of this trilogy of stories!

Ratchet and Samus will team up, and form a close bond with each other (But no ships, don't get that idea).

Bumblebee will become extremely important later on, but I need to build him up first. The third story in planning is Bumblebee's story.

The Traveler (remember that? I'm so sorry for making you wait for it so long!) is the spin-off story, but the tie-in to the rest of the saga will be a major story arc, but not entirely the main story.

Rodimus will be a part of this story sometime, I can't tell you when though. Megatron will also be featured in this story, but not for a while. Optimus' Powermaster partner, Hi-Q (I'll call him Ginrai), will also have a role in this story.

The Transformers in this universe are all Micromasters, but stand in the range of 6-9 feet. This universe is also roughly based in the G1 continuity, but still branch out a little to other parts. I'm sorry to say, but sadly, I can't exactly tell you how the Great War ended right now, but I'll allude to it in the chapters to come.

Also, Optimus, and the Primes, are very well known by Celestial Spirits, which explains why Aquarius (The Mermaid) was in shock and disappears abruptly. Optimus is a (sort of) cyborg, a Protoform encased in modified human flesh. Optimus doesn't use a lot of Magic, since his Spark and connection to the Primes gives him his own set of abilities.

Anyway, with all that out of the way, hope this chapter was a good start for everyone! If anyone has any questions, or requests, go ahead and tell me! See you all next time!

Leave a review, they're much appreciated and show that you care!
