Summery: Not many knew it, but Optimus had sent a message out into space, shortly after the incident with the undead army Megatron had brought into being. He had called for any remaining Autobots, asking for them to regroup and become a true faction again, but after months of no response, he reluctantly gave up for the time being, believing his message never made it out, or was damaged by the radiation of space.
Little did he know he had been heard, loud and clear.
And the Autobots were mobilizing.
Chapter: One
Prologue
Far beyond the sights of man, and even farther from the sight of any Cybertronian, within shining crystal halls, a strong figure sat upon a modest throne.
The figure was tall, huge in fact, and sat comfortable upon the throne, his large metal hands resting on arm rests. He seemed to glow with Kindness and power, despite looking exhausted, and took slow, deep breaths.
With a sudden jolt, the gentle giant leapt to his feet, layers of light robes billowing behind him as he hurried across his crystal hall, before he came to a stop at a large pool of water. Fabric pooled at his feet as he bent down, gently tapping a finger against the surface of the water, causing a ripple to spread. As the ripple disappeared into the sides of the pool, and the water cleared, an image appeared upon the surface.
The glowing figure brought a hand and gently placed it over his chest as he watched the scene unfolding upon the water.
A tall, lean Red and blue robot stood atop a large rock formation, gaze facing the stars. He had a sad expression on his face as he wished with all his heart things could be different.
The glowing figure gasped as he watched the mech in the water send a light up into the sky, and with it a burst of data, a call for his comrades. The figure immediately plunged his hand into the water, the movement causing the image to waver, the glowing giant kept at it. He focused hard on the image, his eyes narrowing as he mentally guided the message passed the infamous Decepticon communications officer, and into the depths of space.
"None shall delay, Optimus," the glowing figure said, his voice a deep, soft baritone, "You shall be a proper faction again, you have my word, young Prime."
The image faded from view the moment the figure took his hand out of the water, and stood back up, the fabric of his robes flowing in a mystic wind.
"You shall be one again, my children"
The figure walked slowly, sadly back up the hall, robes floating behind his slowly as if they were under water. Each foot fall sounded like a small crash of metal every time it hit, the very ground shook with the power of his gate.
Once he reached the throne he spun slowly to face the room again, placing his large hands on the arms of the chair to brace him, before tiredly lowering down with a small grunt.
"You will all be alright," he seemed to whisper to himself running a hand down his smooth, elegant metal face.
"You will be together again, children. Just please, hold strong for just a little longer, and all will be well again. We have already set everything into motion"
He gazed up, his head slumping against the back of his chair.
"Till all are one…"
Upon earth, atop a rock formation, Optimus Prime stood, staring out into the sky, a message rocketing out into the void.
Far north of the Prime, a young adult began to dream, a soft smile on their face as the sounds of motors and laughter filled their mind. They were content.
The poor soul had no idea what came next.
Far, far away from Earth, deep within space, a ship floated without goal, drifting pathetically past a stone.
Within the halls all seemed dark, not a sound was made, but there, in the middle of the control room, a light blink to life on a screen.
A message had been received.
At last a motion was made, a weak light grey servo reaching out from the shadows, shaking with exhaustion, before it pressed down a button with a click. The screen the light had come from lit up the room, illuminating a tired grey face, framed by a white helm.
Blue optics widened in shock at what the screen was reading, looking up and through the glass at the front of the ship.
"Optimus…!"
Upon another ship within the void of space, a set of optics flicked to life. Once realizing they were restrained to the wall, the mech struggled out of his bounds, landing as softly as he could upon his pedes.
The young mech began to rush forward before he froze, looking back to gaze at every other bot hanging from the walls, optics offline as they were force fed drugs to keep them in stasis. The young bot winced and started to make his way back towards them before he froze once more as the sound of metal footsteps began to draw nearer, and winced. He spun around one final time, before he broke into a sprint, away from the other prisoners, Leaving all his trapped, and dying comrades behind to their fates.
Primus sat upon his throne, still weary, and still tired, but watching as all these things occurred at once.
He was content for now, but there was still much ahead he needed to prepare for.
There was much work to do
A/N: Hello everybody, this is my very first story being posted, so I would like your constructive feed back.
So really, if you have not worked it out, this is a story where a huge group of Autobots catch a ride on the Ark, and ride back to Cybertron, pick up the ones who were left behind, 'cause come on there is no way they got everyone.
Also, the one scene with the person sleeping, that is in fact a human, just so there is no confusion. In fact that is the only human in the whole chapter.
And if you are wondering, yes, the glowing being in the beginning was actually my view of Primus. Think of him as Aslan. Giant alien robot king Aslan.
Anyways, I have a huge list of Autobots whom are already going to be featured in the story, and I'm gonna give you guys a little spoiler here and give them to you, 'cause I want to make sure I didn't miss anyone. Here we go.

Alright, so, tell me if I missed anyone who should for sure be on the way to Earth. And if you see any up there that should be dead, that's ok, I know what I'm doing ;)
So, your help would be appreciated!
Tell me what you think, and if you see something I can improve on, please tell me, so that I can do so in the future.
Thanks! Can't wait for next chapter!
