Arcee walked into the ship followed by Andrew and Hot Rod, she was going to protect Andrew from whatever was in this ship.
The ship felt familiar to her, like it was her past. As they walked into what Andrew had called the bridge of the ship they saw bodies of giant robots everywhere.
Andrew frowned as he shuddered and said, "Oh god!"
The Ark activated and the computer said, "You have returned."
"What's wrong with me?" Andrew demanded, "What is going on with me? How did I know how to make Arcee and Hot Rod?"
"Because," the computer said, "I had to do something questionable to you."
Andrew made a face and the computer suddenly showed an image of himself on an operating table, his chest was split open and an odd thing was being put in him.
"Millions of years ago on a world called Cybertron, a unique race of robotic life forms lived, the race was separated between the noble Autobots and evil Decepticons and the two factions fought each other over the resources of the planet," the computer said showing the image of Cybertron and the red symbol of the Autobots.
Andrew made a face and the computer added, "I am sorry for what happened Andrew but I had to protect Cybertronian culture, when you walked in I altered your physiology so you could interface with the Matrix I placed inside of you."
"Whilst large," the computer said, "I was able to shrink the Matrix to fit in your chest, your brain was improved upon so that you could utilize the powers of the Matrix."
Andrew growled, his eyes turning bright blue and said, "You used me?"
"Truthfully I would've used anyone," the computer said in a calming voice.
"I have dreams," Andrew yelled, "I dream of thousands, no, millions of balls of light swirling around me, telling me that I'm interfacing with the Allspark."
"Primus," the computer said, "You are the host of Primus, the Allspark. This is how you created your children out of earth vehicles, your daughter and son."
Andrew made a face, "Is this why I'm like this now? I don't even feel a connection to Kimberly and well, we weren't close but we were friends."
"I am sorry," the computer said, "But there is something going on outside the ship."
The view screen shifted to an image of Kimberly and her friends looking for him, he shuddered as they kinda looked angry and concerned about him.
"Dad," Arcee said, "We better get you out of here now."
"No," the computer said, "Please sit on the table, I must do some repairs on your body."
Andrew froze and said, "I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I don't know, I think I like being human."
"Your humanity is unchanged, it will correct the emotional damage," the computer said, "You will feel like yourself again, to a certain degree and you will interface with the Cybertronian technology inside your body more effectively."
Andrew nodded and said, "Maybe I'll be able to make friends."
As Andrew sat on the table Arcee looked up and said, "Will my father be like my father still?"
"Yes," the computer said, "He will still be your father."
Andrew blacked out as the machines began to work on him.
As he lay in complete blackness Andrew looked around and heard a voice say, "Andrew Wells, you hold the legacy of the Primes in your mind and your spark or your soul as you call it."
Giant robots appeared and they looked kindly at him, the first giant robot nodded and said, "Go, meet your new heritage Andrew."
The robots were simple at first but grew increasingly complex until he stopped in front of one who nodded at him and said, "I am Alpha Trion and you will be interfacing with our memories but Orion Pax wants to meet you."
Andrew looked confused and said, "Who?"
"Me," a gentle yet forceful voice said, "Come to me child."
A large red robot walked towards him and picked him up, the robot said, "A child should not have been involved in this but the computer was only following its routines."
"Umm, what?" Andrew said, "What's going on?"
"I am Optimus Prime and you are my successor, Cybertron is gone now and you hold our legacy in your mind and heart."
"What's going on?" Andrew asked getting more uneasy.
"You have transformed and evolved Andrew Wells, you are not fully human nor are you Cybertronian. I do not claim to know your fate but you shall, with my permission, use me as your armour," Optimus said, "Now go forth with honour."
As Andrew's eyes shot open and glowed blue, he said, "Oh god, I understand so much now," he looked at his arm and an Autobot symbol appeared on his shoulder.
He ran to Optimus's body and said, "In Primus's name!"
The large body began to shift and the eyes glowed blue, he heard Optimus's voice and whispered, "Optimus?"
"You are young, untested but so was I and in your heart of hearts I see a good soul awaiting to come out," Optimus's voice said, "Now arise: Andrew Prime."
Arcee jumped back in shock as a larger robot took Andrew into itself and Andrew's voice came from its mouth and said, "Oh wow, I'm a giant robot!"
"Umm," Arcee said, "Hot Rod was going to tell you but those Power Rangers are here and there's a bunch of monsters attacking them."
Andrew looked up and said, with surprising conviction, "We must protect them, no matter the cost. Autobots: transform and roll out."
Meanwhile Kimberly was pissed, Rita and Zedd were so on her list now for interfering with her search for her cousin. She watched Xander dodge another blow from one of the monsters and mused that he should be one of them.
Goldar laughed as he shot a wave of energy at Tommy and Rocky, this had gone better than he expected as they were totally surprised by the attack, concerned about Kimberly's cousin.
He did not understand Lord Zedd's unease about this place because the Rangers couldn't even teleport away.
A loud honking noise caught his attention and Goldar frowned, 'Was that a semi-truck? It looks large and powerful looking.'
Hooonk, the truck bellowed as it drove towards the Putties who looked at it confused until they got ran over.
The truck, with a loud sound, transformed into a giant robot, the robot's eyes were glowing blue as they narrowed on Goldar and it said, "You will leave these children alone."
"Who are you?" Goldar demanded to know, "You aren't a Zord."
"I am Optimus Prime," Andrew said smiling inwardly, 'Or at least his body.'
"Optimus Prime?" Goldar laughed, "I am Goldar, servant of Lord Zedd."
Andrew walked towards Goldar who shot a wave of energy into Andrew's chest, Andrew shook it off and said "One shall stand, one shall fall."
Zedd looked down with his vision and he paled as Rita screamed questions into his ear, he yelled at her to be quiet and walked off to his library. He searched through the books as he heard Rita yell, "Oh god, he's tearing through our monsters and Goldar came back."
"Of course he did you old sourpuss," Zedd said as he looked for one of the books and found it."
Zedd began to read the book and said to himself, "The Covenant of Primus," he had found the book in the ruins of an ancient ship.
"Verse one," he read out loud.
"The flesh of man shall hold the Allspark and the boy shall hold Primus in his mind, he shall join with the rainbow garbed warriors restoring what once was lost but in the end he shall face his greatest foe alone."
Zedd frowned as he kept reading the book well into the evening as the sun set and Rita had gone to bed.
"Verse twenty:"
"The boy chosen by Primus shall face three tasks: first to find acceptance, second to find his heritage and third to fight the primordial destroyer and overcome him."
"This isn't good," Zedd muttered, "This boy is supposedly to become a force for good? And who is this boy?" Zedd growled, 'Maybe,' he thought, 'I could make sure this boy came to me for knowledge and wisdom as this book is a link to his past.'
Zedd decided that he'd tolerate Rita's plans for now, he'd be sure to find the boy and corrupt him to evil.
Things are going to become very interesting for him in the next few days and months.
