Optimus and Megatron stared off at each other, along with the rest of the Autobots and Decepticons. Meanwhile, Dante and Flynn remained in the safety of the cave behind Megatron. "So that blue robot with the red flames is 'Optimus Prime.'" thought Dante. "He must be the good guy. And the other said that he was 'Megatron,' I think…" Behind Optimus stood Bumblebee, who saw the two humans hiding in the cave. "Optimus, sir. There are two humans in the cave behind the Decepticons. They're probably the Decepticon's prisoners." whispered Bumblebee.
"Megatron. What were you going to do with those two humans behind you?" questioned the Autobot leader.Megatron looked behind him and saw them peering out of the cave, then going back in as soon as their eyes met. "Why I just kindly asking them where the distress signal was coming from, that's all. Do you have a problem with that?" grinned Megatron. "And I was hoping of giving them the honor of becoming my pets after they tell me." he said, coolly. Optimus's optics narrowed.
"Not on my watch, Megatron." replied Optimus as he pointed a cannon at his rival.
Megatron laughed. "You always did have a soft spot for the weak, Prime."
"Humans are not as weak as may think, Megatron. There is more to them than meets the eye." (A.N: Sorry if that sounds too cheesy…) Megatron laughed again, this time pointed a cannon at the cave. "We'll see about that."
"NO!" yelled Optimus and began firing shots at Megatron. Three missed, but the rest hit him and hit him hard. He winced in pain and clutched his chest plate. "Megatron sir! Are you all right?" asked Blackout. "What do you think?" he spat back. "Decepticons. Retreat." Megatron and the rest of his team warped away. Dante and Flynn slowly peered out of the cave to see if it was safe, only to be face to face with Optimus Prime. Panicking, they retreated back into the cave.
"It's alright. My men and I mean you no harm." he said, holding his enormous hand at the cave entrance. The two brothers cautiously and slowly came out of the cave and onto Optimus's hand. He pulled his hand up slowly and let the rest of the Autobots crowd around him. "I am Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots." He then pointed to Jazz. "This is Jazz, my communications expert."
"What's crackin' little bitches?" Both of the brothers were surprised by his way of speech. "Where'd he learn to talk?" questioned Flynn. "We learned your human languages from the World Wide Web." replied Ratchet.
"Cool"
"This" Prime continued, "is Hot Shot, my second in command." he said pointing to a yellow skinned robot. "Greetings." He introduced everyone: Ratchet and Red Alert, the medical officers; Ironhide, the weapons expert; and Bumblebee, the scout. He then turned his attention to the brothers again. "What are your names?" he asked. Dante stood and introduced himself. "My name's Dante. Dante Rivers. And this is my younger brother, Flynn" he said, pointing to his brother. "Sup." replied Flynn. He lowered his hand and let they off onto the ground. "Why are you guys here? And who were those guys that attacked us and chased us around?" asked Flynn.
"They were the Decepticons. The silver Transformer was Megatron, the leader of the Decepticons. He wants to rule the universe and it's our job to stop him. As for us being here, we picked up an S.O.S signal that was coming from this area. Do you two think you can help us?" asked Optimus.
"Sure. There was this pod-thing in this cave here. You think it might be it? We saw it and it was big. Probably heavy, too."
Optimus thought for a moment. "It could be." He turned to Bumblebee. "Bumblebee, I want you to help them find the pod in the cave." Then turned to Ironhide. "And I want you to help them carry it back to the Ark."
"The Ark? What's that" asked Dante.
"The Ark." said Red Alert, " is the space ship that we used to come here. We'll show you as soon as you get the pod." Dante nodded and he, Flynn, and Bumblebee headed into the cave. When they found the pod, Bumblebee picked it up and put it onto Ironhide's cargo bed, who waiting outside of the cave entrance. The Autobots and the humans walked away from the cave until they came across a huge mountain. "I don't remember this being here."
Optimus chuckled. "That's because it's a disguise." He press a button on his arm and the mountain changed into an enormous spaceship. "Whoa!!!" exclaimed Dante and Flynn. Optimus simply laughed at their reactions. As they entered the Ark, Ratchet and Red Alert took the pod and placed it onto the floor to examine it better.
"What do you think it is?" asked Flynn. "It looks like some sort of escape pod." said Hot Shot. Dante came closer and felt it. He then pressed a button and jumped back. Suddenly, the pod began humming and it's "shell" split, revealing a glass case filled with a murky green liquid. "It's… It's a cryostasis escape pod!" exclaimed Ratchet. "Huh? Cryo-what?" asked Flynn, confused.
"Cryostasis pod. It's a type of pod that can put organisms into a sort of 'suspended animation.' This pod must of come from a far away planet somewhere in this galaxy." explained Ratchet.
Dante went closer to the pod. He saw that it's glass surface was dusty. He wiped some of the dust off and looked through the glass. When he did, he saw a shadowy figure inside floating in the liquid. "Optimus!" he yelled. "Optimus! There's someone in there!" His optics widened. "What!? Well, let's get them out of there!"
Reaching what was closest to him, Dante grabbed a wrench and started smashing the glass case of the pod. The glass shattered and the liquid spilt all over the floor. They stared at the figure that had fallen out of the pod: a young girl…
