Disclaimer: I don't own Transformers, they are owned by Hasbro. I am just having fun with the characters. I also don't own any items that are from anime series, they are owned by their respective creators. This is based in Transformers Energon (of the Unicron Trilogy) and is written in collaboration with Zero Fullbuster. Will can slash and m preg, might contain spoilers but might not.

Prologue:
Optimus had left Jetfire in charge on earth while Optimus felt called for something else. Jetfire didn't question the order, as he had always been second in command. He figured that they had defeated Unicron with help from the Decepticons and Megatron had been destroyed during the battle. Little did Jetfire realize just how wrong his assumptions were. And that assumption would, likely come back and bite Jetfire in the aft.
Meanwhile, far from earth, Optimus felt called to meet a very very old acquaintance. The femme bot, Elita one, had been restored by Primus and Optimus felt called to be with her, unsure as to why. Elita was also feeling called to a distant planet. Optimus knew something was calling to him, deep in his spark. The Matrix of Leadership was indicating something to Optimus, and it was not all good news.
It didn't take long for Optimus and Elita One to meet up on a distant planet. Both knew that they were being called but weren't sure exactly why. "I have called you here" Primus stated said from a floating orb of light. "The war is not over and I need you two to create someone that I will use in the future to help the Autobots."
"What?" Elita responded, not liking this.
"Apparently, we need to procreate" Optimus answered, a slightly bitter taste in his mouth, as he had never wanted to bond.
"Un uh, I am not carrying a sparkling" Elita stated, defiant as ever.
"You don't have to carry it. Optimus will, but I need your data" Primus replied. Optimus was stunned, but did as asked. Elita and Optimus briefly connected their sparks with it creating the desired result. Elita was sent one place while Optimus was sent elsewhere.
Optimus knew the sparkling inside of him was important. But he wasn't sure if he would be able to keep the sparkling if Optimus was recalled to be the leader of the Autobots again.
After a quickened sparkling development growth, Optimus soon sparked his precious little one, a son. Optimus gave the little bot the name Lancex. Optimus held the little one for a short time before Optimus received call he had been dreading. Optimus was needed in battle again, as Megatron was back and Unicron was still alive. To protect Lancex, Optimus gave the sparkling to a special bot to raise and then Optimus headed back to earth. Optimus could only hope that he would live to see his son grownup, but for now, father and son had to be separated. Only time would tell if they would reunite.
