I've decided, for the fun of it, not to tell you all whose POV things are coming from. I'll know if I'm doing well if you guys can tell without me telling you!

The Sleeping Sailor
Chapter One: Retrieval
They had finally located Atlantis; unfortunately, the Decepticons were right on their heels. Thinking quickly like he usually did during battle, Optimus Prime had sent Vector Prime and the kids into the ancient battleship city to find it. Realizing the danger that the battleship was in, Vector Prime appeared to have activated a teleportation mechanism and the battleship had disappeared taking the kids and Vector Prime with it. The battle had ceased, and now both sides were searching for the gigantic spaceship, each with very different reasons.
"I combed the planet with radar. Ya know what I found? A whole lotta nothing." Landmine reported. They discussed the situation a bit longer, and then suddenly, it hit Optimus.
"Scattershot, based on what we know, is it safe to assume that it was Vector Prime who set the ship into warp?" Scattershot agreed, and Optimus went on, "It's also safe to assume then that Vector Prime moved it to keep it out of Megatron's grasp. He must have wanted to move to a place that was nearby, but away from visual and radar searches. There's only one place that I can think of that fits all three."
"Of course!" Jetfire realized, "The moon!"
"Precisely. This whole time, Vector Prime and the kids have been right under our noses." Optimus replied. "Autobots, roll out!"
Meanwhile, Vector Prime, Rad, Carlos, Alexis and the Minicons had begun searching the battleship, believing that the Omega Lock was somewhere on board. They had activated the battleship's battle mode when it had detected the Decepticons coming and the kids had heard the Omega frequency. As they walked, they could hear the sounds of the ship firing, and knew that the Decepticons had reached them. It was a consolation, however, that with each step they took, the Omega Frequency got louder. They walked into a particularly large room, and Jolt announced that they had found the Omega Lock.
"Oh wow, we did it!" Alexis exclaimed.
"Not quite," Vector Prime replied. "We still have a few steps to complete."
Vector Prime put his hand on the gigantic pedestal, and six smaller ones appeared. The kids and Minicons did as Vector Prime asked, and when he told them to, they all placed their hands on the pedestals at the same time, which caused two things to happen. The top of the golden pyramid glowed and the Omega Lock appeared, and then, a strange, tall blue container like thing rose out of the ground in front of them.
"Vector Prime what is that!" Carlos asked, startled.
"I have no idea! It must be something of equal importance to have been kept in the same room as the Omega Lock." Vector replied, equally as startled.
"Well then, I'll just have to take them both!" Megatron laughed as he flew into the room, knocking Vector Prime out of the way.
"No way!" Rad yelped.
As Megatron reached out to grab the Omega Lock, Vector Prime cried out for him to stop, Megatron cackled and grabbed the Omega Lock anyway. A bright light shone, red lights flashed overhead, alerting them that something was wrong and Megatron yelled: "With this in my possession, no one can stop me!"
"No! Taking the Omega Lock without first disabling the security systems has activated a self-destruct sequence!" Vector told the kids. Megatron made his trademark threatening statements, only to have a familiar voice cry out "Not so fast!" from overhead. The ceiling broke open and none other than Optimus Prime dropped from above. He calmly told Megatron that he wouldn't be allowed to leave with the Omega Lock, and on hearing that the ship was self-destructing, told Vector Prime to take the kids and leave. Vector Prime agreed after fire broke through the wall, and grabbed the kids in the Minicons and the strange, tall blue container, leaving Optimus Prime and Megatron to battle it out over the Omega Lock.
They reached outer space with the explosions right on their heels, and found Jetfire, Landmine and Scattershot waiting.
"Vector Prime, are you all right?" Jetfire asked.
"And where's Optimus?" Landmine asked.
"We're fine, all four of us. Optimus is fighting Megatron for the Omega Lock." Vector Prime replied.
"What's that blue cylinder that you're holding Vector Prime?" Scattershot asked, noticing it.
"I'm not sure myself. When the Omega Lock appeared, it rose out of the ground in front of us. I figured that it must be important, so when Optimus ordered us to leave, I brought it along." Just then, the battleship blew up; but before they could lose hope, Optimus joined them with the Omega Lock in his hands.
"Let's go." He said calmly, and they all headed back to the base.
What lies within the tall, blue, cylindrical container? Will it be an asset to the Autobots, or will they wish they'd never found it? Find out in the next chapter of The Sleeping Sailor!
Those of you familiar with Transformers: Armada might notice that this part is very similar to one of the episodes, with a few changes. Don't worry, it's that way for a reason!
