At Autobot Headquarters located in the ark under a mountain four hours eariler, the current Autobots there were busy doing things. Some doing repairs on the Ark and it's defenses, some relaxing and talking, while others were monitoring for Decepticon activate.
Currently in the main room of the Ark, Optimus Prime was busy chatting with Ironhide, Jazz, Prowl, Grimlock, Sliverbolt, and Hot Spot, along with Kup, and Ultra Mangus, who recently came to Earth with Hot Rod and the others as they all listen to Ironhide as usual about the Decepticons, "Come on guys! Those cons could be planing something this very moment right now underneath our own noses!"
"You worry to much my man. Ever since the Antarctica battle those cons had been keeping quiet." Jazz countered, as Ironhide crossed his arms, giving a grunt of disagreement. Ever since that battle the Autobots have been relaxing for a week getting a surprise in the formed of Ultra Magus, Optimus old friend from the Cybertron war and his second in command, Kup and old fighter who's been friends with Ironhide ever since they were young, and the rest which included Optimus which gave a double look as he commented that Hot Rod grew a lot higher along with the others.
"While Jazz may be right on one hand, Ironhide may be right too. The Decepticons could be plotting a new scheme against us with out us knowing, the best example the drilling of the earth's core." Prowl added in while some of the bots agreed but made Kup confused.
"What in tar nation do you guys mean by drilling the Earth's core? when I was going around the galaxy with the young bots and some others looking for you we didn't find anyone trying to drill any planet's core." Kup asked which Grimlock putted a hand to Kup's shoulder.
"It long story for I Grimlock to tell you!" Grimlock offered while Kup put a hand to his chin as Optimus just stood there listening until he groan in pain as he got on his knees as he collapse while those around him began to shout his name as he began to see a vision and fell to unconscious.
Meanwhile in Mission city, Bumblebee was in his vehicle mode as he was waiting for Spike to get done of what he called a "Date" with Carly. Over the last few weeks they been talking and have somehow developed a romantic interest within one another.
Those two somehow made Bumblebee think back on before he and the others came to Earth, back before they left Cybertron on the ark, back when he was with her.
"Hey Bee! Be careful that covert mission may bite ya in the tailpipe someday!" A voice came out of nowhere who was giggling as Bumblebee transformed and look around.
"Hey! Im careful with my paint job! How about that Whip?!" He heard himself asked laughing, that's when it kicked into him that he was having what human may called flash backs.
"Hey Bee.. I just want you to... Well. Be careful when you're gone ok? I just can't afford to lose you." He heard the voice again which he knew of what she was talking about. It was the eve when himself and the others left on the ark.
"I will Spark whip. I promise." He then saw a figure who was coming near him. A Femme with a red paint job with a light color of yellow, Face plate with red markings under her eyes.
"Sari..." Bumblebee said softly as they both looked at each other as a voice came to him.
"Bumblebee? Hey Bumblebee wake up!"
He woke up to find himself in his vehicle mode as he saw Spike and Carly next to him as they gave a laugh.
"Man we must have caught you dreaming while you were parked here!" Spike joked as Bumblebee have a little smile in his car form as he open the door.
"Sorry must have dose off you guys would call." Bumblebee said as both his passengers got in and put their seat belts on.
"Where to guys?" Bee asked as he began to drive off.
"Well I'll gotta head home cause I got to study along with Spike too. Don't forget we still got 2 months left before we both graduated school." Carly answered as Spike nodded.
"One drop off to Carly's house coming up." Bumblebee said as all the sudden a bright light came out of nowhere making blinding all three people before the bright vanished.
"What was that?!" Spike asked as he and Carly look around as Bee went to a stop. at first they couldn't see anything until a Man gave a startled yell as the trio knew that something was going on. Getting out Bee, Carly and Spike went off to find the source with Bumblebee following as he transformed and ready his newly fitted Plasma cannon he got from Wheeljack as he follow the two.
When they got to the source of the noise they were stopped all surprise of what they saw. A bunch of people in colorful costumes all knocked put.
Bumblebee, Spike and Carly looked at each other as they all said at the same time, "We got to call HQ."
In his vision he looked around until he heard a voice of what he could believe to be Cybertronians arguing as he went off to find the noise and when he got there he stopped as he saw something he couldn't believe before. The Thirteen primes Arguing over some as Optimus saw the source of the argument. The Orb of what he felt in the Matrix in Antarctica.
"The Orb can be use to help our kind become more powerful you must believe me!" One of the Prime called out as others shake their heads in disagreement as another voice spoke out
"NO! It's to dangerous! If left unchecked! it could destroy us!" A other male voice rang out.
"Liege is right, if we don't use it, the Unicron will destroy us all, and Primus!" One voice added backing the identify Cybertronian in question as a female look at him which Optimus believe to be Solus Prime. The maker of many Relics including the Star Saber. A Name that one of the young bots toke when Optimus was on Cybertron.
"You side with Liege? Have you learn nothing from what we all have seen Megatronous?!" Solus angrily asked as she pointed her hammer him as the others began to argue and even began threaten to fight each other to see who is right which worried Optimus until one Cybertronian raised his hand as he said "ENOUGH!" which silence everyone. Optimus eyes widen at the voice.
"Is that me?" He thought as the voice began to speak.
"Have we become blind to what we have discovered? Have we become to blind to see the dangers in the orb that we have made which should not have come to be?" the Prime ask as every Prime looked at one another with a guilty look. They all knew what the Prime meant in those words.
"When Primus created us, he gave us a the wisdom to see right and wrong, to see what dangers that are out there that should not be ignored and one day stop the threat like we did Unicron." The Prime as Optimus eye's widen at the word Unicron.
The Twelve Primes new that Prime was right, they all knew what they have found which would not have been discovered. One of the Primes spoke to the one that told them as he putted a hand on the latter should, "Thirteenth, even though you are young, you are right. We sought a way to stop Unicron we didn't know what we were doing. But the question is what should we do with the orb?"
"Alpha Trion? Was he one of the Thirteen Primes?" Optimus asked as he Remember him when he was young. The Wisdom he gave him when he was young, the Encouragement of trying to build a better tomorrow for all Cybertronians when they were under the rule of Zeta prime, when he was with her. He shake his head as he need to focus on the here and now, and think of the past later.
"We must insure that it's power never becomes a threat to all live. We must Destroy it." Thirteenth answered, as some gasped at the statement which made Optimus think of why wasn't the orb destroyed. Just the Liege spoke up with outraged to the idea.
"And Scarfice our only way to stop Unicron?!" Liege asked as Thirteenth nodded.
"If there are other ways to defeat him. Then yes." Thirteenth answered as a sound was heard while the Primes turn to see an army coming.
"Terrorcons!" Megatronous exclaimed as he ready his weapons while the others ready their weapons as they stood firmed while the one leading the Terrorcons, which was no other than Unicron. As they stopped while Unicron came before the prime as he began to speak which made Optimus a little worried .
"I have heard that you have found something that will belong to me if you surrender the orb to me!" Unicron spoke as the prime stood their ground not willing to budge.
"You shall never have the orb in you hand vile one!" The Prime with the Star saber spoke as he putted his two hands on the Hlit of the mighty weapon.
"Prima. Still a fool as ever I see." Unicron spoke as he order his Terrorcons to attack as the Prime fought back while Thirteenth hold on the the orb while a blaster in one hand.
The fight was long and brutal, While Terrorcon slained 5 others toke its place. The battle was not going well for the Primes which were surrounded by Terrorcons as Unicron went to the Primes and spoke, "Give me the Orb!"
The Primes while Not giving up was starting to lose hope until Thirteen spoke with a voice as everyone look to him including Optimus.
"The orb may not be destroyed today! But the day will come for it! Until that day I send this orb to a planet that will keep the orb save which ever it be this Galaxy or another!" The young prime said as with a mighty throw he hurled the orb to to the sky as Unicron gave a large no as the orb vanished from existence. Never to be seen again.
Looking at the Primes angrily he spoke out, "You will pay for this Primes! I Swear with my power of the Dark Energon!" As he and the Terrorcons toke off into space.
As the Primes stand down on of the Primes went to Thirteenth. "Old friend. I Hope you know what your doing."
"Don't worry Vector, some day the orb will be destroy. I swear to it." Thirteenth said as the vision began to vade away, but Optimus need to know more, but knew the answer will come soon. A voice rang out of nowhere calling his name.
"Optimus!"
The Bot in question woke up in the Medical bay surround by Ratchet, Wheeljack, and First aid as they sighed in relieve.
"Thank Primus you're ok. You had us worried with that black there for a moment. Gave the bots a real spook." Ratchet spoke as Optimus began to move, but First Aid put a hand to stop him.
"Easy Prime. you still recovering from the black out." First Aid explained as Optimus nodded as he slowly go up to sit as he caught the look of his fellow Autobots. The look they gave in their eye, Optimus knew too well what the look was. They were worried about him, it happen before many times. Both on Cybertron and on Earth.
"What happen Optimus? What made ya past out?" Ironhide asked as Optimus answered with four exact words, "Vision of the Primes."
"Wait a minute! You mean you saw the Primes in when you blacked out?! As in the Thirteen Primes who protected Primus until one of the primes betrayed them?! " Jazz asked Surprised as the others as Optimus nodded.
"I heard from some bots that they heard the Primes in their visions, but I didn't believe them after a while each one being scammer and a lair, but something in me is telling that yours is real." Kup said as Optimus slowly but surely move off the workbench and began to stand up.
"It is. And by what the vision said, I have the feeling that the orb may have somehow cause my blackout." Optimus said as the alarm rang off.
"Alert! Alert! Incoming call from Bumblebee and Spike." Teletraan 1 said as Optimus slowly but carefully went to the main room with the others following.
"Put him through." Optimus ordered as Bumblebee voice came over the speakers.
"Optimus we got a bit of a situation here." The young bot said as the bots gather in the room looked at one another.
"What kind of problem? Decepticon problem?" Ironhide as he made a self check to himself to try out that new rocket launcher slash hammer that Wheeljack made for him.
Not excatually guys, it's best if you came here for your self. There's these guys with some sort of clothes on that's not from this earth, and i can tell ya that right now." Bumblebee answered as a noise was soon heard.
"Hold on Bumblebee! Were on our way." Optimus said as he turn to Prowl, "Alert those who are on patrol or are off duty! We may have an unseen threat on our hands."
"Understood Optimus." Prowl answered as he began to contact every Autobot out there as a they turn to leave, "Alert Incoming call from Hot Rod."
"Huh? What could Hot Rod be doing?" Optimus thought as he went to the computer again to pull Hot Rod and the others up as Hot Rod began to speak, "Optimus we kinda of ran into a situation."
"What kind of situation?" Optimus asked a little bit worriedly, as began to remember what Kup had said when they came to Earth "For four million years when i was keeping an eye out for those kids Hot rod had a reputation among the young bots for being one of the bots to always dive head first into danger to save lives or be willing to lead those into battle. Just like you Prime. Just keep an eye out for what he dose okay? I know you been careful after what happen."
How true those words to Optimus. His mind began to to wander off before he shook his head as he heard, "We ran into a group of... Well people with super powers."
"People with super powers?" Optimus asked confused raising what the humans would call eyebrows. There were many things Optimus had seen over the years that surprise him a little, but this one toke the cake.
"Yeah, and Im not kidding, and one of them calling himself Kid Flash said something about meeting the others and asking us where their at." Hot Rod answered as Optimus put a hand to his chin, in deep thought. Super powers? A human named kid flash? People in some sort of colorful costumes? No doubt that all three of these are combined into one.
"This may all make sense. Hot Rod meet us in Mission city and make sure these people are unseen until you meet up with us." Optimus ordered as Hot Rod responded with a will do before the comms cut off. Prime made his way outside the Ark as he meet with the other Autobots that were waiting for him outside.
"All the Autobots assemble Prime. Just waiting for you." Jazz said as Optimus nodded as he look at the assembled Autobots.
"Autobots! Transform and roll out!" Optimus ordered as he and every other bots transformed into their vehicles mode and began to head to Mission city to meet up with Bumblebee and the others to find out who are these people. More importantly, where they came from.
