All Creatures Great and Small.
Chapter 3
Buffy woke up. Everything around her was a dancing mix of blue and green. She got out of the car looking at the world around her in wonder. Deep in side she felt something akin to pure joy. Whatever was happening was good. The moments turned into years when all to suddenly the glow faded and the world returned to normal.
Xander looked at Buffy she had the same smile on her face as everyone else ,including himself. 'Do you have any clue what that was?'
'No I can tell you it was good and important but you already knew that.'
Actually he didn't. 'Those T.V crews haven't left yet. Lets ask them.'
'You think they know something?'
'Sure. T.V. knows everything.'
Buffy looked at him and laughed 'Xander!'
Just a short distance from them was a small, purple, old fashioned cassette player. Long tendrils stretched from its sides and were monitoring the crash site and the humans search attempts. Curious it followed the pair.
Within the Ark Ratchets optics reactivated. Shortly after so did his higher brain functions. He found himself lying against the wall. A quick diagnostic told him that the was no damage, getting up he looked for Prime and the girl. Standing before him was someone the size of Omega Supreme (A/N If you are only familiar with later transformer shows think bloody big, even for a transformer.) painted a mix of green and blue it looked a bit like Prime but this transformer had a set of steel wings, more armour and seemed to be a lot leaner and more powerful. From the looks of things it was deactivated.
Slowly its eyes glowed, showing Ratchet he was active. 'Prime?'
Its voice was strange, almost like Prime's but different. 'In a sense my son, I am Optimus Primus.' Ratchet was shell shocked Primus was the name of his god and ultimate creator.
'W... what happened? Where is the girl, Dawn?'
'They merged. The power of The Key and The Matrix now both reside within me. In a very real sense Miss Summers and Optimus Prime are my parents.'
'She was telling the truth?'
'As far as she knew it, yes.'
Ratchet was still routing this information thru his logic (and sanity) chips when the entire Autobot army burst into the lab. 'Prime are you alright?' 'What the...' 'What's happening?' 'Who's the big guy.' Everyone was talking at once. Finally Optimus Primus held both hands up.
'I think it's best if they explain.' His lower body opened up and he took out what looked like an engine. As he did so his colour faded into the familiar red, silver and blue of Prime. Dawn transformed back into a robot and stood up
'That was too weird'
Prime had shrunk back to normal size and shape 'I agree Dawn, very weird. Autobots, somehow the combination of my self and Dawn allowed the power of The Matrix and a trans-dimensional energy field know as The Key to join together and act as the catalyst for the rebirth of Primus himself!'
While the Autobots looked shocked a small hand was held up to knee level. 'I know I am partially responsible for this but who is Primus?' she asked
'Primus is the name of our god. Untold eons ago he fought the daemon god Unicron, he sacrificed himself to imprison the dark god of destruction and then gave what was left of himself to give our kind life.'
'Why would he do that?'
'Primus knew if Unicron ever found a way out of his prison the universe would be in grave danger. Unicron wants nothing less than total destruction of every thing and every one in the universe.'
'Could one guy really destroy the universe?'
'The stories say that he did once succeed, for a time.'
'I hate to tell you this but I think he got out.'
'WHAT!!!'
'My sister has been having visions this last week. Telling her that something or someone is coming here. From what you just told me this Unicorn guy sounds just like it.'
Prime looked at her. 'What do you mean visions?'
'Visions, as in messages from a higher power. I didn't want to tell you this but this world has its fair share of troubles. Have you guys heard of monsters, I mean the things that go bump in the night?'
'Hay babe I've spent years researching earthen culture. Your talking fairy tales little girl.' Jazz was their Earth expert. Prime told Dawn that and she laughed.
'Well their real, daemons and monsters under the bed all exist. My sister is the slayer, that means that she's been chosen to fight them and make the world safe for humans.'
Jazz looked at her 'The stories say that these monsters and things are strong and powerful, better fighters than humans. How can she fight them?'
When she was chosen she was given powers herself. She's stronger faster and more powerful than them. I think we need to find her and ask her what she knows. That and tell her where I am she's probably turning the town upside down looking for me.'
Prime spoke up, 'Are you not old enough to take care of your self?'
'You'd think that, but to her I'm still a baby.'
'Alright Autobots, If she's right we need to be ready. Prepare your selves as best you can, myself and Dawn will find her sister and bring her here.'
'You'll need help Prime, and we'll all be too busy. Take Rewind and Eject with you.' Blaster opened up his deck and let them out.
Dawn watched as two tapes opened up and became man sized robots. One was yellow and the other red. They looked like twins, both having the same sort of face as Prime. Behind her she heard Prime transform into his truck form. 'Let's go.'
As Prime drove out of the cavern Dawn looked behind and saw what the metal caverns were made of. A starship was berried within the volcano, its five engines pointing towards the sky. Most things started to make sense to her at that point.
After a few minuets Dawn had to ask something 'So after today I guess your stuck with me'
'I believe so. Is that a problem?'
'Well no but I don't think Dawn is a good name for a kick ass 'bot. I like it but I think I need another.'
Prime laughed before Rewind started talking 'Would you chose "Sunrise"?'
'No. How about "Sunburst"?'
'I think that works.'
'Good, from now on I'm Dawn "Sunburst" Summers.'
'So we know that light show was seen all over the world, and because of that no one knows where it came from.'
'Think its anything to do with your dreams?'
'It has to be but what?' Soundwave retracted his sensor. The small human female believes she knows some thing about the strange energy. Megatron would be interested. Transforming into his robot form he radioed Decepticon head quarters.
'Soundwave to Megatron. Prototype not recovered. Data regarding unknown energy pulse, possible request orders.'
'How possible?'
'Human female. Said to have limited information. Should I investigate?'
'Bring it to me immediately understand.'
'Yes Megatron.' Braking off contact Soundwave pressed a button on top pf his chest. 'Rumble, Frenzy, Lazerbeak, Ravage eject. Operation capture!'
Buffy sat on Xander's car. She had no real idea what was happening. Her dreams were a jumble of images and no matter how much she tried she couldn't sort them out. She almost didn't notice the shadow behind her. A large hand grabbed her shoulder, instantly she flung him over her shoulder and delivered a snap-kick to the daemons head. It wasn't a daemon. A jolt of pain shot up her leg as it contacted metal. A blocky robot painted red and black picked himself up and tried to punch her. Buffy dodged and used the car to drop kick the robot a good 100 yards away.
Xander was wrestling with a robotic panther and bird and losing. Buffy was about to help when another robot, this one blue, spun her around. His arm changed and became a pile-driver. Buffy didn't have time do move as it smashed into her chest. A normal human would have turned inside out from that blow. Spiting blood, she ran back to the robot and gave him a pointed lesson in slayer strength.
She was about to rip its head of when she felt a gun barrel pressed to her head. Looking for Xander. She saw him battered and busied at the feet of the two animal robots. 'Your strong human.' Now both robots had guns pointed at her. 'But now you've finished punching, your coming with us.'
'I don't think she's started yet Frenzy!' Another three robots jumped out of an approaching truck. Two looked like the two who had just captured her but painted differently the third had a similar head but its body was completely different. They fired at Frenzy and blue boy. Buffy dived out of the way when they started shooting back. The two ambushers ran for cover behind Xander's car as Buffy was suddenly picked up by the big bird.
'No you don't bird brain.' Buffy could have sworn she heard Dawn's voice. A laser burst shot a hole in the birds wing causing it to drop her and crash.
Dawn smiled behind her face mask. Her first shot, ever, and she nailed the target. Panning round she fired wildly at the big cat that was coming at her, trying not to hit Xander. Her two companions were fighting tooth and nail with the already damaged Decepticon tapes. The cat ran at her, dodging this way and that from her shots. She knew she couldn't hit him, he was too fast, but she didn't back off. Letting him get closer was a risk she had to take, he jumped right at her....
Buffy saw it happen. Inches from impact the silver and blue robot scissor-kicked the panther mid flight! When as the panther got up, the other one pivoted on its heal and roundhouse-kicked it to the floor again. Both were moves she had taught Dawn less than a week ago. She could her it, no she, Buffy could hear Dawn laughing! Dawn was inside that robot. Looking around she saw that the other robots were defeated. Going out on a limb she shouted 'Dawn what's going on?'
'We just saved you and Xander from four Decepticons Buffy. Oh by the way that's Rewind and that's Eject.'
Xander got up. 'Am I dreaming or does that robot have Dawn's voice?'
'It's me Xander.' Buffy watched as the green plate over Dawn's eyes slid into her helmet and the one covering her mouth and nose split in two and fell back into the sides. Dawn was laughing 'So what do you think of the new me?'

Authors note
As I said this follows the original Transformers but I have taken some liberties with the time line and story but that's nothing important.
Thank you to all those who have reviewed so far. (Harry2 – have you been reading my notes? That was the plan! But who will be paired with who? Chapter 5 will have the answers.) Please keep reviewing, thanks again...
