(This my very first story and may not be up to standards in professional writing. I will progress and update my own style in time. In the meantime enjoy and feel free to comment. If I have some parts that may need to be changed, please let me know via through Private message. Now for further mention, I do not own the following Autobots, Deceptocons, human characters, or the Transformer brand. All credit goes to Hasbro. The only character I own in my OC who's name will be mentioned in chapter 4. Thank you and enjoy my story.)

Chapter 1

A Vision

As the moon glowed brilliantly in the sky, all the inhabitants of Lincoln, Nebraska slept in the peaceful night. But not all the life forms were at rest. Hidden among the caves far from the town lay the Autobot base, the home of a team of heroic robots, led by their brave commander Optimus Prime. For the last several months, the Autobots only goal on the planet earth was to find and retrieve the mini-cons, and protect them, as well as the planet from the evil force of Megatron, the leader of the Decepticons. The Decepticons also wanted to find the mini-cons, but viewed them as slaves, and only wanted to use them in their ongoing fight to bring destruction to the universe.

In the control room four figures stood, observing the main screen or any sign of Decepticon activity, or if a mini con was discovered, most of the Autobots stationed were struggling to stay awake. Rubbing his blue helmet Blur yawned quietly.

"Two straight hours of guard duty and nothing. Hardly anything happening outside." Blur thought to himself. Turning around to see who was yawning, Hoist laughed to himself and spoke.

"If you can't keep your optics open, go head and take you recharge."

"Thanks." Blur nodded. A recharge was all that he needed. After he stretched the muscle cables in his back and arms he proceeded to leave, when the doors slid open to show Optimus Prime, shining in his royal red and blue armour, not looking the least bit tired.

"And may I ask as to where you are going?" Prime asked.

"Don't worry chief, Blur's just needs to catch a few "Z"s, as the humans of earth say. If it's alright with you?" Hoist said, walking over to aid Blur.

"You have been hard at work, Blur. You are dismissed." Optimus nodded, allowing Blur to exit. As the doors slid closed Hoist placed a hand on his commanders shoulder plate. "What's gotten you so worked up on surveillance ? You didn't think that the rest of us would stay online 24/7, to watch a blank screen, did you?"

"No, I haven't." Optimus chuckled.

"I agree." Scavenger said as he walked over to them. He knew his commander wouldn't just have the Autobots remain online for no reason. something was up and he wanted answers. " I am also concerned about the extended hours of surveillance. There hasn't been any casualties with the Decepticons, and no mini-con has been found. Is there something troubling you?"

Scavenger did have a point. Optimus knew he wouldn't have his team doing this for no reason at all. Megatron didn't show up around earth for a week, so there was no need for any tight surveillance. Well, he had to tell them.

"Since you two want to know, I will tell you. Last week, after Sideswipe arrived on earth, I was deep in recharge when I somehow received a vision. Something I have never seen before in my life." Optimus began.

"What was the vision about?" Hoist asked.

Blinking his golden optics Optimus continued. "In my vision, I saw something up in this planets atmosphere, and as I look at it, it starts to fall. It was falling at rapid speed untill it hit the surface. And as I came upon the sight, dust and debris where still hanging in the air and I couldn't see anything... Except for two small lights, glowing like gold. But before I could find out what those lights were from, a large dark shadow suddenly appeared from behind. I turned and saw that it was Megatron, equiped with his mini-con, and his pulse cannon aimed straight at it, and it was at full capacity. Just then he fired, and as he did I thought I heard a voice scream my name, but I couldn't tell who it was. Then I woke up. It might have been a nightmare, but to me it felt so real. "

Both Autobots were amazed, but their face plates remained composed. They couldn't believe what they were hearing. Was Optimus Prime dreaming of a frightful demise he would encounter sooner or later?, and what about that voice? Who could have called out to him?

"So that's why you have us keeping watch on the surveillance. I wouldn't blame you. If I dreamt I was going to be killed, I wouldn't mind having some extra security." Hoist answered, with a quiet giggle.

"I did not dream of my death, Hoist.' Optimus interrupted sternly, but remained calm. "True I may have seen Megatron, but I didn't see it as my demise. I am more concerned about the object I saw in the sky. And those two lights. It may sound strange, coming from me, but for a moment I thought that they looked like... optics."

"Optics?" Scavenger asked.

"Yes. Like that of..."

But before Optimus could continue, the alarm rang through out out the base, bringing every Autobots attention to the screen.

"Status report, Red Alert." Optimus ordered.

The medic examined the readings and turned to his commander.

"It isn't the Decepticons, or a mini-con. But it is something else. I'll zoom in on its energy source and uncover its form." The CMO explained, and within 10 seconds the object appeared on the screen. There, shown in full view, was a pod. An oval, metal escape pod with an Autobot symbol on the lid, and it was falling at an alarming rate.

"I don't believe it. It's just like in my vision." Optimus thought. Quickly returning to the task at hand, Prime turned and assembled his crew, some of which who weren't to thrilled to be awaken from recharge. "Autobots, when Red Alert finds out the location to where the pod is landing to, we must arrive there as soon as possible before Megatron and the Decepticons."

"Optimus, the pod is landing about thirty miles north from the base. It lands in about 10 earth minutes.' Red Alert announced.

"Then prepare the warp station. Hot Shot, Swideswipe, Jetfire, and I will head to the area as soon as we can. Move out." Optimus ordered. Soon all four Autobots reached the warp station, all in their vehicle forms. Soon the image of an uninhabited forest appeared and all four warped to their destination and disappeared.
