Transformers Prime: Rise of a warrior

Chapter 1: Death and Rebirth

A/n: This is my first attempt at a self insert fanfic. I had thought about going with an oc, but went with a fan favorite instead. If you find any errors I apologise.

Normal POV:

It was just to be an average day. Just a normal boring day until it took a massive turn. I was on my way home from work as it had always been. But when unfortunate events happen there is no warning. It took a single loud bang to end everything. I guess this is what you get for living in a big city.

I had thought it was a dream, but the pain was real. I couldn't help but watch as blood began to pool around me. As my life began to fad everything seemed to slow down. As I looked around all I could hear was my own heart beat. I had no idea what it was I had done in my life for this to happen. Perhaps I ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time. Either way I knew what would come next. My vision began to darken as my heart began to slow. In a matter of seconds my life, my uneventful peacefully boring existence came to an end.

But just as everything faded I heard a voice.

???: This is not where your story ends.

Then everything went dark and thus the life I knew ended.

Ruins of Cybertron:

I awoke with a start as I tried to breath. Soon enough I calmed to a degree as I coughed slightly. A lot of questions entered my mind as my vision was changed completely. But that didn't concern me as much as when I saw my surroundings. As I rose to my feet I saw a land of ruin and destruction.

???: What in the hell?

As I looked at my surroundings I recognized where I was. A sense of disbelief and horror filled my mind. I was standing on the remains of a lifeless Cybertron. My mind raced as the questions continued to build, how did I end up here and how is it I was still alive. I decided to sit back on the metal ground, contemplating my situation. But before I could make sense of any of what was happening the voice returned.

???: Welcome child.

I rose to my feet once more and frantically looked around for whom the voice belonged to.

???: Who are you?! Show yourself!

???: Calm yourself. I will not harm you.

???: Forgive me if I don't believe you.

???: I Understand your mistrust. but believe me, there is a reason I brought you here.

???: Brought me here? How?

???: Before you awoke you had perished. Now you have been given a second chance.

???: A second chance? Just who are you?

???: I believe you know who I am.

I thought carefully. I was on Cybertron but I knew that no one would have remained as both autobots and decepticons had left. Soon enough it hit me like a semi.

???: Impossible.

???: Now you know.

???: Primus, but how?

Primus: I have used what power I have to grant you life.

???: But why? Why bring me back to life?

Primus: Because, I sought out a being who could aid the last of the primes.

???: Optimus. But why me? Couldn't you have found someone else.

Primus: As I have said, I used what remaining power I have left. And with your knowledge you could help Optimus Prime.

???: You make it sound easy. But in case you haven't noticed, I'm stranded here.
