Hi everyone!! Welcome to my first book! It's been a few years since I wrote on here and recently got relooped into FanFiction!

This book is written after the Primeverse series, but without the kids! I feel like they clog up the story a lot of times and thought it would be interesting to see a world where human companions didn't complicate things even more! Also note this book is rated MA for cursing, gore, triggering scenes, and sex!

On that note...who's going to see the new movie, or who has already seen it?? I've been waiting for a Rise of the Beasts movie and I'm so excited to go see it next week!! No spoilers! Anyways...enjoy!! 3*

~Year 2015~

Setting: Earth, Jasper Nevada, Autobot base

The Autobot base hummed with life as bots busily moved around, performing their chores. Bumblebee and Ratchet sat in the MedBay, preparing some basic medicines and wound kits for any future battles. Arcee watched back and forth with cubes of energon, making a small pile by the computer for their intake that evening. Meanwhile, Bulkhead and Optimus were outside of the base perimeters, scouting the nearby town for any signs of trouble and keeping their radars open for Decepticon readings.

Ever since the Autobots landed on Earth a good few years ago, the Decepticons were quick to follow, hungry for revenge and battle. Their leader, Megatron was hungry for power and sought nothing more than the demise of Optimus Prime, his sworn enemy. The Decepticons had not discovered the location of the Autobot base yet, and the Autobots theirs. The Decepticons chose their safety in a warship designed for Megatron himself. All of their operations were run inside this ship, headed by several different department leaders.

As the Decepticons were almost permanently skybound- their vehicular form of choice was often planes, mostly military craft they had discovered after raiding human bases. Though a few had chosen a helicopter as their first pick, and a few more decided to stay on the ground, picking cars as their form. The Autobots on the other hand, all chose ground-based vehicles. Optimus was a semi truck, Arcee a motorcycle, Ratchet an ambulance, Bumblebee was of course a sports car, and Bulkhead chose a reinforced, military grade off-roading SUV.

For now...the battle between the two sides was at a calming point. The Decepticons were busy trying to figure out methods of torture and discovering the Autobots, while the Autobots kept watch over their local humans and tended to keeping the peace.

The sun began to set over the horizon of the Nevada desert, painting the sky a gorgeous array of reds, oranges, and purples as it slowly hid its rays behind the cacti. Optimus and Bulkhead made their way into the base and transformed, shaking themselves off from the long days drive.

"Anything exciting?" Arcee glanced up at them from where she was seated on the ground, a small cube of energon in her hand, halfway empty from where she was sipping it.

"Just a whole lotta nothing...the usual" Bulkhead huffed out as he made his way over to the pile, taking himself and Optimus a cube, offering it up to the large Prime.

Optimus took the cube and nodded his head as a thanks "there appeared to be a small quarrel in town that caused a bit of stir, but the human law enforcement handled it. I believe something about someone robbing a store?"

As Bulkhead took a gulp from his cube he laughed "yeah it was pretty funny seeing the guy trying to run...then getting tased before he could even make it across the road"

A small hum came from Ratchet as he shook his head, walking away from the MedBay "humans...they never learn..."

Bumblebee happily followed and bounced up in front of Optimus, looking up. A series of beeps and clicks came from him "Optimus...can I go on patrol with you tomorrow??"

The Prime gave a small smile and nodded "of course young one...I was going to ask you to anyway" he rested his servo on the scouts shoulder then watched as he bounced away happily.

As the night progressed, soon everyone was sitting together in the main room and sipping their energon. They went around telling stories of their beloved home, Cybertron, and the many memories they had of it. Of course, their planet was now darkened and littered with the aftermath of a war...a war they unfortunately brought to this planet.

Around 2:35am, human time, the computer suddenly let out some alarmed beeps. Everyone turned their attention over as Ratchet stood and walked over "what is it Ratchet, just a con a few states over?" Bulkhead mumbled, setting his almost empty energon cube down.

Ratchet stood for a few moments, silent as he watched a red dot move along the screen "no..it's not.." he paused then turned, looking back at them "it's a spark reading..coming from space...it's an Autobot.." he trailed off as he typed in a few things "whatever ship they're using is cloaked...I don't know who it is" he turned again, looking up as everyone stood, coming over.

Optimus studied the dot for a second and let out a soft hmm... "they're about to crash into Earth. We cannot assume it's an Autobot, it may be a Decepticon in disguise. Either way we need to get there before Megatron... Ratchet..set the coordinates and open the groundbridge...Autobots Rollout!"

Ahh first chapter done! How do you like it so far?? I've already got SO many ideas! See you next chapter!
