Hi guys! This is my first story (please don't kill me!) It's set just after Transformers Prime Predacons Rising ended and it's called Transformers Prime New Beginnings. It includes a character called Masky/Tim Wright- from Marble Hornets (Marble Hornets has also ended BTW). I don't own any of the characters, any OC's I include will be mentioned. Soundwave and Masky will appear later, just stick with it while I set the scene.

CYBERTRON, The Well of AllSparks (approximately 2 weeks after Predacons Rising)

"Arcee, come on. It's been AGES sinceyou last moved. Let's just go on patrol already!" moaned Smokescreen.

"Go without me Smoke, or find someone else."

"Why do we even have to go patrol anyway? It's boring and you never find anything! And don't say it'll be different this time!" he complained.

"... Just go Smokescreen, I'm... I need some time alone..." Arcee sighed.

"Whatever."

Smokescreen transformed and drove off.

"You should not mourn so," said a ghostly voice with a slightly computerised accent.

"T-Tailg-gate? But...? How?! " Arcee stuttered.

"You mourn Optimus, do you not? There is nothing wrong with that. But, he will return."

"What do you mean?" snapped Arcee defensively.

"Optimus shall return, do not fear. The great Primus deems it so. The masked ones shall return him. I must leave you now. I will guide you, have faith..."

"What are you on about Tailgate? Tailgate?" Arcee said, dumbfounded, "I'd better tell Ratchet and 'Magnus"

Arcee transformed and sped off in the direction of the Autobot Base, not noticing Starscream hiding behind a building. He gave an (as always) irritating cackle, a huge grin plastered on his faceplates.

"That Autobot femme has definately lost it..."

Starscream Transformed and zoomed off, still laughing.

The Autobot Base

"Ratchet, you aren't going to believe this."

Arcee was on the central comm. unit talking to Ratchet.

"No, in all likelihood, I won't. But go on, enlighten me, said Ratchet.

"I spoke to Tailgate."

"WHAT?! Explain, now!" yelled Ratchet.

"I was sat near the Well, and then I heard Tailgate's voice telling me that Optimus will come back, and he said something about the Masked Ones, whoever they are."

"You are not serious Arcee. YOU KNOW THIS ISN'T FUNNY!"

'Umm, Ratchet? She might be telling the truth... It sounds so crazy it might actually be true?!" said Jack.

"Thanks Jack."

"Who are the Unmasked Ones Ratchet?" asked Raf.

"That's what I wondered if Ratchet could work out."

"The only guy I've seen with a mask... Is... is... SOUNDWAVE!" Miko shouted.

"But no-one's seen or heard from Soundwave since-" began Ratchet.

"I know where Soundwave is..." said Raf.

"We shadowzoned him!" laughed Miko.

"YOU DID WHAT?!" Ratchet practically screamed.

"Ummm... He's in The Shadowzone Ratchet," stated Jack.

"Have you ANY idea what that can do to a neuronet?! yelled Ratchet.

JASPER NEVADA, The Abandoned Hospital

Timothy Wright ran down the abandoned roads, it was bucketing down with rain and Tim was soaked. His clothes were grubby like the rest of his now sodden body. He ducked through the half broken door of the hospital and ran up the broken walls to the room he had claimed for himself. He looked at the chalked symbols on the wall and sighed, Masky had obviously been busy drawing.

"Well, I'm back. I'll probably have to move again in a few days... This isn't bad... It could be a LOT worse I s'pose..." he said to himself.

Tim lit a fire from wood he'd previously collected and sat next to it, trying to get warm. He jumped as a loud crash reverberated around the building and he yelped.
