They had stayed away from College all night and were now paying the price for using their Avatars with out being in range of the remote charger. Sam was still trying to shake stasis off even though it was ten in the morning; he and Bumblebee had spent the night out underneath the stars on a small road that lead to an abandoned farm, though the ground was soft and comfortable beneath his tires Sam felt like he had just had the worst nights stasis/sleep in his entire life. Sam's power reserves were still on the low side, so low in fact that he decided it would be better to just return to stasis for another few hours. The next time he got a look at the waking world Sam found out that it was well past noon and time was quickly marching on towards one o'clock, this time Sam managed to shake the hold stasis had on him after his third try. Sam's system checks started once more and this time he was aware enough to notice that one more of his power bars had dropped to the normal line "bee are you up yet" Sam said then quickly realised that he had not scanned the area for anyone who might over hear. Panic is a great friend to those who want to wake up quickly; suddenly Sam was scanning the area quickly and running dozens of different possibility's through his mind, most were of how he would explain to someone how they had not seen him in his car, a few dealt with how he could explain how his car was talking if no one bought into the other explanations about not seeing him.

The panic ebbed away when Sam found that there were no people for miles around "close call" he thought, "bee are you up, come on it's almost one in the afternoon and we need to get going soon, there are a lot of miles between us and campus and I don't want to spend all night driving back in a rush". Slowly Bumblebee's Camaro alt shifted on it's shocks, for a moment Sam thought that Bee's voice unit was damaged again as all he made were low grunts and noises that he couldn't identify. "sam, what time is it?, did we just come out of long term stasis or something?" asked a very groggy Bumblebee "no bee, we stayed away from campus and the remote charger while using our avatars and now were both drained because of it" answered Sam. Another unrecognizable noise came from Bee as he sank low on his shocks, "I guess were sticking to simple holograms today then?" asked Bumblebee after a few minutes had passed "looks like it" replied Sam and one more groan from Bee ended the conversation.

Normally both young Autobots could almost fly along what ever road they were on but at the moment they were having trouble just going at the speed limit. Sam detected the approach of another vehicle and was surprised to see that a bright red minivan was coming up fast, it took it a few minutes to catch up to them but when it did the driver decided that he was in a hurry and started to over take both Sam and Bee. "I can't believe this sam" commed Bumblebee "we're being passed by a minivan, a minivan" the yellow scout groaned over the com as he said this, "it's ok bee" replied Sam "soon we'll be back to normal and you'll be blasting past minivans like their standing still". The small red vehicle managed to get past them an slowly it increased it's lead, suddenly Bumblebee slammed on his brakes and pulled into the side of the road his chassis dropping low on his shocks. Sam pulled over far less dramatically a few yards further on, slowly he backed up so that he was closer to Bee and commed "what's wrong bee?" "I have never bee passed by anything moving that slow in my entire life, not even when I was a sparkling" answered Bumblebee. Feeling how wounded Bumblebee's pride was Sam commed "like I said bee, you just need to get your energy levels back to normal, it you like we can wait here for a while until we get our strength back". Raising up a little Bee asked "are you sure sam? you wanted to get back to campus before night fall didn't you" "not if it means your too tried to drive bee" commed Sam in reply.

Bee scanned the area for anything that could interrupt their break, his readings showed only a few cars traveling on the road they were on and they all looked normal and harmless, even the hated minivan which was now almost two miles away. Bumblebee thought for a moment then said over the com "sam the next time we go for a drive like this we're either not using our avatars or we're finding hotels to stay at along the way and taking the remote charger with us". Sam laughed as his alt form rocked on his shocks "sure thing bee, the last thing I want is for you to start destroying minivans that dare to overtake you when we have our weekends away" commed Sam. Though Sam liked high speed right now he could think of nothing better than just sitting by the road with Bee as they let their energy levels recharge.

Sam had wanted to get back early so that he could avoid driving in a rush but seeing Bee in a light stasis nap was well worth getting back later than he had intended, as his lover drifted deeper into stasis Sam felt it tugging at him too so he decided that he should let the waking world fade away for a little while. His vision darkened and his view of Bumblebee's alt faded along with the rest of the world. For a time Sam knew that he was at peace with him self and his surroundings, he didn't know why he just did, images and places seemed to jump from one to another quickly as time had no meaning, one moment he was at home with Bumblebee, they were in their room and his Mom was calling up to them reminding them that they were going to be late. Then in a flash he was by the lake in some secluded spot, both his and Bee's alt forms were near by and their Avatars had found a spot near the the waters edge and as Sam wished that he could be alone in his robot mode with Bee it happened, their Avatars were replaced by their robot forms and all the people around them vanished.

The world settled around them as little details seemed to blur into a prefect moment; Sam reached out and took hold of Bumblebee's face in his hands, he felt the warm metal almost hum with anticipation of what was to come. Bee wrapped his arms round Sam and pulled them close together, the time was right everything was in balance and Sam knew it. An almost musical whirring and clicking noise filled the air as the metal plates that covered both their sparks slid apart in unison, cables and sections of metal reached out to each other forming an enclosed conduit between their bodies. Sam could feel his spark flutter like a bird wanting to be free, his whole being wanted the process to go faster for the moment to begin, slowly as if deliberately drawing out each second the last plates of metal moved towards each other and then just as the final connection was made everything froze and the word around him started to fade away as if it had been made of nothing more than smoke and light.

Desperately Sam reached out and made a grab for Bumblebee only to have his hands pass right through him, the plating around Sam's spark instantly shifted back into place. The last of the dream world fell away and Sam got to his feet as he was left in what looked like an empty void, Sam wished for things to change back, wished for Bee to return to his side but nothing happened. Then a faint light appeared behind him casting shadows across thick black smoke that clung to the ground Sam turned and found him self in a place that he though he would never see again. Before him was the landscape that he only associated with the Dynasty Primes, as Sam looked deeper into the light dark shaped formed against it and the six Dynasty primes stepped forward. "greetings young prime, I see that you are maturing well" said one of the six "what's going on here?" asked Sam "am, am I dead like before, have I left bee alone again?". Another of the Primes stepped closer "no young prime you are far from the well of sparks, we are in a place between planes, you have come here through what humans call a dream" a little confused by all this Sam asked "that was a dream, this is a dream?" again the Prime spoke "yes and no, what was, was a dream, what is, is something more; we have come to you like this in hope of giving you what warnings we can, great danger looms on the horizon and you must be ready". Sam was even more confused than before but he listened in hopes of understanding things, a third Prime spoke "we have little time here, your connection to this place will last only as long as a dream and you will remember almost nothing of this, we hope that part of you will know what to do out of instinct when the time comes". "why won't I remember I did last time?" asked Sam hoping to at least get this part straight, the first Prime answered him "when we spoke on that occasion you were in a place between life and death so you could remember all of what happened, this place is in part still a dream, one that you will never fully remember, but you have strong feelings about events as they happen and after they have happened, it is our hope that this will be enough to protect you".

Seeing that their brother had managed to get Sam to understand the others backed away and faded into the light so that they were little more than shadows. The first Prime spoke once more as he explained things to Sam "listen well young prime, the decepticons have found a way to increase their numbers, they are converting humans into their own kind in hopes of destroying the autobots, however this action will change everything for them as well" Sam just nodded as he was reeling from the news that the Decepticons were somehow turning humans into more Decepticons. The first Prime continued "there is a plot with in their ranks that will shift the balance of power away from megatron but we can not see who will take his place, when it happens the war will fall fully on earth" Sam didn't like the sound of that at all. Sam remained silent as the first Prime talked "before this happens megatron will make his final move against the autobots and you, he still believes that you are human and will attack based on that belief you must use this to your advantage when the time comes young prime" "what kind of attack?, when and where?" asked Sam. The first Dynasty Prime fell silent for a second before he said "time in this place has little meaning young prime but for you it will happen very soon, use what you know of the decepticons when you fight them, remember how they think and you will defeat them" Sam understood this all to clearly but there was one thing that he felt he had to ask.

"why do you call me prime?, optimus is the last prime" asked Sam, the first prime smiled at him and said "optimus is no longer the last of the primes, you are now brother to him as you are to us, he will tell you all this when the time comes and when he does do not be angry with him, he is your brother and all he has done has been to protect you for.." the voice of the first Prime faded as if carried away by the wind. Once more everything around Sam fell away is if it were smoke and Sam was returned to the void that he had been in before, Sam's mind raced as he tried to hold on to every word that had been said. He tried in vain to hold on to everything but the conversation, the warnings, all faded away as a voice called him back to the waking world. "sam, sam are you awake?" asked Bumblebee in a slightly concerned tone "uggh, hi bee, what time is it?" asked Sam with the voice of someone far from the waking world "almost four in the after noon" answered Bee "you were really out of it, I thought that I was still on the tired side but you really crashed into stasis". Sam heard the words but was having trouble understanding them, it was like there was something in the way of his thoughts, something he couldn't see or understand, but knew was there. His mind went blank for a moment as Sam tried to figure out what was rattling around in his thoughts, every time he came close to what ever it was it vanished like smoke, this thought caused Sam to shudder all the way down to his spark. "what was that?" Sam thought, again he imagined smoke but nothing happened "weird" thought Sam. "I'm up bee, I must have been more drained than I thought" said Sam not realizing that he was speaking out loud by the side of the road "yeh, are you ok now though?" asked Bumblebee.

He got no answer as Sam was transfixed by a cloud on the horizon, "bee" Sam said after a few minutes of silence had passed "I just got this weird mental image of a large plain that stretched out as far as I could see, everything was sunny and warm but then this dark cloud appeared on the horizon, it was the start of a huge storm that threatened to destroy everything in it's path" Sam snapped back to reality and asked "was that I waking dream or something?". Bumblebee was confused by what Sam had said, "I don't know sam, I think I should call ratchet" Said Bee worriedly "no I'm ok bee it's just this feeling that some-thing's out there that were not seeing, a bad dream maybe, it's nothing important, we should head back before it's monday morning or you decide to ambush a minivan for passing you" when Sam was finished reassuring Bee he started his engine and started back for campus. Bumblebee followed him still concerned that something might be wrong with Sam, even though his reading looked perfect in every way.
