Warning: MASSIVE character death in this chapter.

Optimus Prime was struck in the chest by a Decepticon energy blast, he fired back at the Decepticon and yelled, "Autobots to me, we must drive them off the Ark, now!"

"No," Megatron said with an ugly sneer, "You and your kind will soon be a forgotten race in our history books."

The other robot was about to say something when a large asteroid collided with the Nemesis, causing the Decepticon ship to explode which damaged the Ark severely as it headed towards a small blue world.

As the ship headed to the ground Optimus looked at the Autobots and said, "May we meet in the Matrix, where all are one."

Countless years later.

Andrew rubbed his feet, he had blisters on his blisters and Tucker wasn't that much better either. Their father had dragged them somewhere up north to go hiking and he had to stop to rest but Tucker, to prove he was a man in his own words decided to go with his father.

He wouldn't have been on this death hike but Jonathon was always busy now and refused to hang out with him right now so he was forced to spend time with his family.

As Andrew rested he looked at the cave behind him and shuddered, something just felt exciting about the cave, his feet didn't hurt that bad he just wanted to avoid more of the forced death march.

Andrew walked into the cave, his small footsteps echoing throughout the empty cave, it was scary but there was something calling him and his hyperactive imagination was telling him stories.

Inside the cavern something awoke, it had been asleep for millions of years and it noticed that something was nearing the ship.

The computer attempted to repair its creators but it was no use, they were beyond repair but the being coming towards the ship's entrance, perhaps it could assist?

A rumble caught Andrew's attention and he froze as he saw a metal wall.

'Hmm,' Andrew thought excitedly, 'This is fun even if my feet hurt.'

Andrew walked towards the metal wall and touched it, the metal felt warm and bright blue glyphs appeared over the wall and the words shifted.

Andrew looked confused and said, "Hello?"

The words shifted as Andrew kept talking, Andrew finally tapped the wall and said, "I don't understand?"

'Finally,' the computer thought, 'Its language is now understandable.'

"Please come in," a voice said softly.

A door opened up and Andrew looked in and saw a giant corridor, as he walked down the corridor his excitement only increased, he wanted to explore dad and Tucker would be gone for a few hours at least.

Dim lights led Andrew down into what he assumed was the main bridge and it was filled with giant robots, he nearly shouted with joy as he jumped on a massive red robot and looked at the robot's severely damaged head.

Andrew frowned as the head fell off and said, "Umm, wow."

The voice said, "They are no longer functioning, they are sparkless."

Andrew frowned as he examined the red symbol on one of the robot's shoulder, it looked nice but a large white robot nearby had an evil looking purple symbol on his chest.

The computer scanned the boy, it had to do something that its creators would dislike; the boy's physiology was decent enough but with some modifications it would work because one of its missions was to keep their culture alive and, if necessary, their knowledge.

Andrew looked at the computer and was clambering up a chair to try to press some buttons when a light suddenly flashed in his face and everything went white.

He woke up on a bed and he saw his father looking at him, his father whispered, "Oh god Andrew, are you alright?"

"Daddy?" Andrew said, "I, umm, feel alright but, umm, where am I?"

"Son, you're alright, you were just found wandering in the mountains a week ago and you fell asleep," his father said softly, "I was really worried about you."

Andrew nodded and said, "Umm, alright dad. I, umm, don't remember anything though."

A few weeks later Andrew was sitting at the kitchen table and he was trying to think of what he could do this weekend because ever since he had suffered those missing hours he was feeling odd.

He felt an oddness in his chest but couldn't quite identify it, he didn't think it was harmful but it felt heavy.

His father looked at Andrew and said, "You know I've been thinking of sending you to your cousin's place? I know you have friends here but I'm worried; you've been distant, confused and I know your friends have noticed it too."

"Friends? You mean Warren?" Andrew said, "I haven't been hanging out with him lately."

"Good Andrew," his father said, "Never liked how he looked at you Andrew but you'll be moving soon, a change of scenery will do you good."

Andrew sighed and nodded as he walked upstairs and prepared to pack.
