A/N: Got nothing to say really. Takes place in the TF Prime universe.
Warnings: There will be violence and death, like most of my other stories. There will be fluff in it. This is mainly for Autobot lovers. Please don't hate me either. Just how the dream happened.
Disclaimer: I do not own Transformers. Only Hasbro. I only own my character(s).
Optimus was driving through Jasper, Nevada. He had been monitoring for any Decepticon activity. A scream caught his attention and the semi drove off toward the sound. Down in an ally way, there was a Vehicon cornering a girl about the age of 17. Optimus flashed his headlights and the girl ran toward his cab. The door opened and Optimus drove off. The Vehicon chased him out of the town.
The Autobot leader transformed and set the girl down. The Vehicon was easily defeated by Optimus' blade. The girl screamed again and backed away when the Vehicon fell next to her.
"Do not worry, I will not harm you," said Optimus.
"Who are you?" asked the girl.
"My name is Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots," Optimus introduced. "May I ask why a Decepticon was after you?"
"I was a prisoner for about two days. I managed to escape. You're not going to send me back are you?" asked the girl.
"I do not intend to do so. I will take you to the Autobot base. You will be safe there," said Optimus and transformed into his semi form.
The girl got in the passenger side and laid down. The sound of the engine comforted her.
"My name is Papika," said Papika, her red hair splaying out on the seat. "Thank you Optimus for saving me."
"You are welcome Papika," said Optimus.
Optimus drove into the base and stopped for Papika to get out. Ratchet was working at the monitor. He heard Optimus come in and turned around. He freaked out when he saw another human.
"Really Optimus, another human? Don't we have enough?" asked Ratchet.
"She was a prisoner of the Decepticons. Papika was able to escape," said Optimus. "She will be staying here at the base. I will be her guardian. There will be no arguing."
"Fine," Ratchet grumbled. He turned back to the monitor.
"That is Ratchet," said Optimus. "The others are Arcee, Bulkhead, Bumblebee, Jack, Rafael, and Miko. They will be arriving later on today. I will show you your room. It will be next to mine if you need anything."
"Thanks," Papika muttered. "I need some sleep."
Optimus got things ready before letting Papika inside. There was already human things in there. Papika looked back at Optimus and saw some tears in his optics. He turned and started to walk away.
"Optimus, are you alright?" asked Papika.
"I will be alright. I just haven't been here since..." Optimus trailed off and tried to keep the tears back. "Since my last human was killed."
Optimus was laying on a hill with a human boy on his chest.
"This is awesome Optimus," the boy said.
"I am glad that you enjoy it Sean," Optimus said.
"What the heck was is that?" asked Sean as he saw a strange ship.
"Megatron," Optimus growled and got up, guarding his human.
Megatron transformed and landed heavily. Optimus got his blades out and got into a protective fighting stance. Megatron spotted the small human hiding behind the Autobot leader's leg.
"Oh Optimus, you brought a pet for me to kill. I must say that you do think of me," Megatron sneered as Sean hid further.
"Leave him alone Megatron," Optimus threatened. "I'm the one you want."
"Oh how mistaken you are. It's him I want," Megatron revealed.
"Sean, run and call base to send you a groundbridge," Optimus ordered. "I cannot lose you. You have made my life much easier. I cannot lose that."
"You better come back," said Sean and began to run into the forest that was nearby.
Megatron smirked and went after the human. Optimus chased Megatron, but lost sight of him quickly. A scream of pain reached his audios and he ran toward the source. Megatron held a bloodied form of Optimus' charge. Optimus' optics widened in horror when he saw his human charge. Megatron smirked and crushed the human in his servos. The sickening sound of bones crushing and blood spattering filled the Autobot leader's audios. His charge's body fell limply to the ground, lifeless. Optimus went to his knees in defeat and let a few tears go. The one that had kept him sane was just murdered in from of him. Megatron just grinned and walked away.
"I knew that I wouldn't see him again after that," Optimus choked out as he kept the tears under control.
"I bet that he made a huge difference in your life. Sounds like a great person," said Papika.
"He was. I just hope that you can make that difference again. Just like Sean," said Optimus.
"I will do my best. You don't deserve this," said Papika before falling asleep.
Optimus left to his room and let the tears run freely. He missed Sean deeply. The human had changed his life greatly.
"I miss you Sean," Optimus said and fell asleep, and immediately saw his human's death, but couldn't wake up. Then memories he made of him.
