3rd POV (Inside the Autobot Base)

"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." Optimus explained.

"No sky is raining fire?" Arcee asked.

"Goes without saying, it is a doom prophecy after all." Rachet stated.

"I saw it's a load of hooey." Bulkhead claimed.

"I don't know, Bulkhead. This prophecy sounded deadly serious about a perpetual conflict culminating." Periwinkle stated.

"I assumed that the ancients were referring to our home planet. But being that Cybertron has been dark for eons..." Rachet theorized.

"And considering what has befallen this planet since Megatron's arrival here..." said Optimus.

"Whoa, woah, woah. We've known about these superstitions for ages and never gave them a second thought." said Bulkhead.

"Why all the ominous rumblings now?" Arcee asked.

"Because the planetary alignment to which the prophecy refers, is nearly upon us." Optimus answered.

"And it would seems it's endpoint...is Earth." Rachet revealed.

"Uh...crazy coincidence...right?" Bulkhead asked nervously.

"How long are we talking?" Periwinkle asked.

"A few days, at most." Rachet answered.

Periwinkle, Bulkhead, and Arcee look at each other.

"However, unsettling this revelation may be. I am more concerned about those who might believe that prophecy speaks to them alone." Optimus tells them.

Meanwhile, the Decepticons warship flies through the cloudy sky.

"I did not seek out the blood of Unicron to simply keep my Spark aflame, but to rule undead armies and conquer worlds! And to accomplish that, I require more than this mere slither which lies within me. So, where is my dark energon?!" Megatron asked as he stomps on the floor.

"Out there, Lord Megatron. Waiting for you to reach out and pluck it." Knockout replied.

Megatron gives him a death glare.

"But you shouldn't push yourself so hard. You had setbacks, you were in statis."

Megatron grabs Knockout and brings him close to him face.

"Precisely why I must make up the last time! I can see the future, vividly! But I must endure its outcome. For I am the rising darkness of which the prophecy speaks!" Megatron claimed.

Back at the Base, Raf is scrolling on a laptop through a website. Lydia is eating white cheddar popcorn while having a half full bottle of Savia Aloe Vera drink on the table.

"Nuh uh. Kid in a costume. Balloon. Nope. Oh, hold." said Jack.

Raf stops to a picture of Bumblebee (who's in his vehicle mode) being shown on the website.

"The camera sure loves Bee."

"What can do you? When you're a superstar, you're paparazzi bait!" Miko claimed.

Lydia rolls her eyes.

"Wait, is that Bumblebee?" Rachet asked.

"On a conspiracy website, where users post evidence of close encounters. But we have it under control, Rachet." Raf reassured.
