Hahahahahahahah I'm so late with this chapter it ain't funny, I'm sorry y'all. Lennox (Will) just wouldn't agree with me when it came to his scenes needing to be written D:

Alexandria said: Great chapter! I hope to see more very soon!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I'm so sorry for the delay, but here's Arc 2!

Disclaimer: I do not own Transformers

The Big Bang.

Many theorize it was the start of everything, and they would be correct.

It was the start of galaxies, solar systems, planets and, most importantly, Life.

Planets bloomed with their own special foliage, and as time passed, a race known as Creators came into existence. No one knows who, or what, caused them to become, they just simply… appeared.

Many chose a planet and began to sow seeds of Civilization, most of those choosing not to appear in front of their creations. The others, though, thought they should know where they came from, and how they came to be.

Perhaps the most famous of them were three brothers; an older brother and a set of twins. The twins fought often, though they agreed that their creations should not be of flesh and blood, but of metal and Energon. The older brother made camp on an organic planet systems away and began experimenting, leaving the two to their own devices, which he soon learned was a mistake.

A mistake that their creations would pay for millennia later.

The two brothers, called Primus and Unicron by their creations, fought for 200 orbital cycles, merely a blink of an eye for Creators, but for their creations, it was the First War.

The first Thirteen of these creations stepped forward and claimed the title of the Dynasty of Primes, each watching over a different sector of their planet, Cybertron, while the Creators were gone. Soon, Primus called forth these Thirteen, and with their help, they were able to stop Unicron from poisoning the Energon deep within Cybertron - the life blood of the Cybertronians.

But this defeat came with a cost - Unicron was severely wounded, dying, even.

His older brother, who had been named many things by his creations, found him floating in space, barely functioning. Full of pain and sorrow, the older brother put him in a deep healing trance and encased Unicron in his world, Earth, until he was fully healed.

Then, something changed on Cybertron.

A Prime had fallen and killed five of his siblings before gravely wounding Primus as well. The Creator followed his older brother's lead and encased himself in the center of Cybertron as The Fallen left the planet.

Many Creators didn't believe that the mech could harm or even kill them, so as they went to confront him and his followers, one by one they fell, and the Creator race drew closer to extinction.

The Fallen was soon stopped, in a fit of irony, on Earth by his other 6 siblings, who hid the Creator Killing weapon they had dubbed as 'The Matrix of Leadership', for whoever could wield it without corruption was fit to be a Prime.

However, the Matrix isn't only just a weapon of mass destruction; it can bring back those who have died before their time.

When I was four, the Matrix of Leadership was found again, and it was used to cause the destruction of Earth's Sun, which wiped out almost all of Humanity. Only 80,075 remain, scattered throughout of time and space.

My mission is simple: Get the Matrix before The Fallen can, however…

It's hard, living with the shadows and ashes of everyone who believed in you, especially when I look around and see everyone is still alive.

"State your name, rank and occupation." the voice behind the blinding light said, making me squint my eyes.

"Josephine West, Commander," I mumbled. "And you wouldn't believe me if I told you."

"Try us," the voice challenged, making me sigh.

"I am in charge of over 80 thousand humans to ensure they do not die in cryosleep as we try to find a new planet to call him,"I could feel the disbelief, making me smirk. "This is, of course, in 2026 after The Fallen destroys Earth."

"The Fallen, who is that? Why do we keep getting threats about him?"

I leaned forward and linked my hands while raising an eyebrow. "Those are not threats, but warnings. The Fallen, well, he has some bad history with Earth. Long story short, he's out to destroy our sun and kill those Cybertronians who don't agree with his ideals."

"And you know this how?" The light shut off and I blinked rapidly, heart freezing as I saw the man in front of me, recognizing him instantly. "You have information not even the Decepticons know. Why is that?"

Papa… I thought, unable to stop my small distressed noise before shaking my head. "I was chosen; sent back to try and stop The Fallen before it's too late."

"And why should we believe you?" At his tense voice, I slowly reached up around my neck and tugged on the chains, pulling out the dogtags and locket I had been given. "But those are-,"

"Yours and Captain Robert Epps's dogtags? Yes. And, if you look in the locket… please keep this information to yourself for now, but I think you can make the connection easily."

He took the chains as I slipped them off, and as soon as the locket popped open, I saw him pale, eyes darting between me and the old family photo I had in there. "How-?"

"My father gave it to me when I was a toddler," I hinted. "It's one of the last few things of his we were able to salvage when The Fallen attacked." The man closed his hands around the objects as the door opened, revealing familiar holoforms that had me biting back a teary grin.

"The Generals want to talk to her," Ironhide's holoform grunted out. Plural, which means Optimus had to have been given that or it's a code name. Either way, I'm getting to talk to them; surely that means I can explain the story better. I'll just not… tell them who I really am.

"She's trustworthy for now." Papa - Major Lennox said, looking at me with inquisitive green eyes. "How did you get here?"

"Oh, my fiance and I just exploded a couple of Hyper Engines, nothing too fancy," I shrugged with a small grin as I saw Ironhide's jaw drop. "Any chance I could at least have my leg back? I would like to stand when I talk to your, ah, generals."

Fun fact: Originally, I was going to have a completely different Arc 2, but it story just wouldn't flow without the Dynamic Duo. :)
