And it was written in the covenant of Primus that when the 47 spheres align, a perpetual conflict will culminate upon a world forged from chaos, and the weak shall perish in the shadow of a rising darkness.

(Dream) Nahko's POV

I look around confused, I'm in some sort of metal room. Suddenly a bright light fills the room. I look towards the source, to see a glowing sphere. "Whoa" I say.

"Hello Nahko" a male voice says.

"Hi, not to be rude. But who are you?" I ask him curious.

"I am Primus" he states and I kneel before him. "You need not bow child" he tells me with a chuckle.

"But you're god, you created Cybertron. Defeated Unicron, created the thirteen original Primes" I state.

"Not your usual standard Nahko" he tells me. "Yes I did create Cybertron and the original Primes. But we banished Unicron, his spirit still lives and will soon threaten your world. And you" he states.

"Me? Why me?" I ask him confused.

"Because you've been chosen to become a Prime" he states. "Solus made a wise decision when she choose to save you young one. I have not seen anyone else worthy of the title Prime since Orion Pax. Who you know as Optimus Prime" he explains. "He was give the Matrix eons ago" he adds.

"But I'm human, or was human. I'm now turning into a techno-organic, how could I be worthy of the title Prime?" I ask him confused.

"The fact that you don't believe you're worthy proves that you are. Orion did not think himself worthy and still doesn't after all this time. But he has done well" he states. "Once your transformation is complete, the Matrix will present it's self to you" he tells me.

"Ok, and what do you mean Unicron's spirit now threatens Earth and me?" I ask him.

"As my spark is the core of Cybertron, Unicron's is the core of yours. The planetary alignment will awaken him, only Optimus can stop him with the Matrix of Leadership. Unicron will seek to destroy you and Optimus, who he sense they you are Primes, he will target Optimus first as he will be the biggest threat to him" he explains.

"Then why tell me?" I ask him.

"To prepare you, Optimus knows of the planetary alignment and the approaching darkness from a prophecy. Though he does not know the rising darkness is Unicron. But he will soon and he will not what he must do to save your world and stop Unicron" he tells me. "Optimus may lose himself when he uses the Matrix, you must remind him of who he is. Because you are a future Prime and access Vector Sigma" he states.

"What's Vector Sigma?" I ask him. Suddenly the world starts to fade around me. "Damn is Miko" I grumble.

"Ask the autobots when the time is right young one. Good luck Nahko Prime, I am sure we will meet again" Primus tells me. Before I wake up.

(Awake)

"Seriously Miko? I was dreaming" I complain.

"Our rides are here" she states. "Get up and get dressed" she tells me. I grumble and do so. I then go get in Jazz and have him take me out for breakfast before taking me to base.

(Time skip)

The others and I are looking at a conspiracy website for any signs of the bots or cons. It isn't lony until we find a photo of Bumblebee. "The camera sure loves Bee" Jack states.

"What can you do?" Miko asks. "When you're a superstar, you're paparazzi bait" she states.

"Then how come I'm not there?" Jazz asks.

"Wait. Is that Bumblebee?" Ratchet asks.

"On a conspiracy website where users post evidence of close encounters. But we have it under control, Ratchet. We just scrub and replace Bee with..." Raf explains. Placing a gif of a cat in place of Bee's photo.

"Mars cat says, take me to your feeder" the gif states. Making Ratchet and Jazz laugh. Jazz more then Ratchet.

"Ratchet actually laughed?" Miko asks shocked.

"Don't let his kill joy exterior fool you, he used to be more fun" Jazz tells us.

"Um, Optimus, do you want to see something funny?" Jack asks.

"No" Optimus answers.

"Don't take it personally. Primes are built that way" Arcee tells us. I frown, does that mean I will be like that?

"Never seen Optimus laugh, cry, or lose his cool" Bulkhead states.

"While Optimus certainly keeps his emotions in check, I've known him far longer than any of you have, and he was different before he was made a Prime" Ratchet tells us.

"True" Jazz agrees.

"Optimus wasn't always a Prime?" Raf asks shocked.

"On Cybertron, one isn't born into greatness. Rather, one must earn it" Ratchet explains.

"So, different how? We talkin' party animal?" Miko asks and Jazz laughs.

"Nah I was the party animal" Jazz states.

"I can see that" I state.

"Optimus was more like Jack" Ratchet states.

"Prime!" Fowler shouts over the comm system. "Those techites my department's been tracking. We figured it was MECH on account of the stealth tactics until moments ago when a security feed
at the Pennington ebbs particle collider captured this" he states. An image of Soundwave appears on screen.

"Soundwave" Jack states.

"Raf can swap that out for you with a funny cat" Miko tells Fowler.

"The 'Con without a face made off with a cutting-edge phase conductor. Here's a punch list of everything else we've confirmed stolen to date" Fowler states and a list appears on screen.

"Plasma injector, neutron shield, tesserat" Ratchet reads. "There's only one thing missing if they are intending to build a space bridge" he states.

"A power source" I state and he nods his head.

(Time skip)

It's the next day and I'm at base again. With Jack and Miko. Raf has gone out with Bee to race. I'm sitting on Jazz' shoulder. As he enjoys an energon cube. "You've bee quiet gorgeous, what's making you so blue?" Jazz asks me.

"Just had a lot on my mind recently" I tell him.

"Your future?" he asks me.

"Yes, I know I'm changing and I don't know if I am ready" I tell him. "Can you keep a secret?" I ask him.

"For you, of course" he states.

"I had a dream a couple of nights ago" I tell him.

"Did you see Solus Prime again?" he asks me.

"No, Primus" I tell him. "He confirms that once my transformation is complete, I will become a Prime. He also gave me a mission to do, but I have no idea what I am supposed to do" I state.

"What sort of mission?" he asks.

"Something to do with Optimus and Vector Sigma" I state. He looks shocked. "You know what Vector Sigma is?" I ask him.

"Some believe it is a legend, but it is said Vector Sigma contains the wisdom of all the Primes" he tells me. "But it's on Cybertron and I can't think of why it'd involve Optimus. Unless he some how lost his memories" he states.

"Jazz to the bridge now" Ratchet orders.

"On my way doc" Jazz tells him. "We'll discuss this more later, but know I won't let you go on any mission alone" he tells me. I smile and he walks us to the lobby. He places me on the platform beside Miko and Jack. "What's up Doc?" he asks.

"Optimus and the others need back up, I am sending you and bringing Raf back to base by the same ground bridge" Ratchet explains.

"Ratchet bridge us back now!" Optimus orders through the comms.

"We must have an autobot down" Ratchet states. He activates the ground bridge. The Bee and Arcee return with an unconscious Raf in Arcee's arms.

"Raf!" I shout.

"No!" Miko says.

"What happened?!" Ratchet demands.

"Megatron" Arcee answers.

"Quickly, into my laboratory" Ratchet tells her. We all follow him as Raf is placed on a bed. I hook Raf up to monitors for Ratchet. "Rafael isn't responding. We must run diagnostics of his  assemblage. Eh, vital statistics. Oh, my tools, they're all wrong!" he shouts.

"Ratchet calm down!" I snap.

"We need to call my mom" Jack states.

"Your mother may be a nurse, but does she know anything about the effects of Energon on the human body?" Ratchet asks him.

"Do you know anything about the human body? Aside from Nahko's changing one?" Jack demands and Ratchet remains silent. Jack calls his mum.

(Time skip)

June arrived and stabilized Raf. Bulkhead returned to base. Ratchet soon realized that Raf has been infected with Dark Energon. After a pep talk from Optimus. "If Dark Energon is devouring Raf from the inside out, we must expel it and fast, the only possible way I know. I need Energon" he states.

"Wait. You said Energon was devastating to humans" June states.

"Under normal circumstances, quite. But I am relying upon the dark matter currently invading Rafael's body to meet it head on" Ratchet explains. Bee volunteers to donate his own energon and Ratchet takes some. June and Jack place Raf in a cylinder chamber. Sealing him inside and Ratchet activates the chamber.

It glowed brightly before it opened. We humans run over to Raf with Bee. "Pulse rate is stabilizing" June states. As Raf opens his eyes.

"Bee" he says and I sigh in relief.

"Optimus, we did it" Ratchet tells him over the comms. As Miko and I hug Raf. We then discover Bulkhead had left Optimus to face Megatron alone. Ratchet starts searching for his signal, so that the others could go back up Optimus. "I'm locked onto Optimus' signal. Wait. How is this possible?" he asks.

"What's wrong Doc?" Jazz asks.

"We need to get Optimus out of there now!" he snaps. Activating the ground bridge to Optimus' location. Bulkhead, Arcee, Ratchet and Jazz go through. Leaving Bee to man the ground bridge.
