As the Autobots mourn the loss of their comrade Elita, they prepare to bored the Autobot ship The Ark. This has taken a heavy toll on everyone especially Optimus Prime

Optimus: "Ratchet is everyone on bored?"

Optimus asked Ratchet for confirmation. The Ark had been filled with Cybertron's greatest heroes. Bumblebee, Ratchet, Arcee, Cliffjumper, Bulkhead, and Optimus Prime

Ratchet: "Yes everyone's ready for departure."

Optimus: "Good. Cliffjumper commence countdown."

Cliffjumper: Five, Four, Three, Two, One. Blast off

As the Autobots left their home planet sadly and peacefully, the Decepticons had been searching for their lord and master since he extermination of Elita1 and was beaten halfway across the cosmos

On board the Nemesis

The Decepticons were searching for many days for their leader many concerned except for the temporary leader Starscream he secretly was glad Megatron was out of his way

Starscream: "Soundwave did you have any luck tracking our master's energy signature?"

Soundwave didn't say much but only gave a simple nod of his helm and pointed to the energy signature on the monitor

Starscream: "Excellent."

On bored The Ark

The Autobots rode in search of a new home in silence no one spoke until the silence was broken by Bumblebee as he stood up and went for the snack compartment

Bumblebee: "Why is everything so quiet?, I mean I understand we have lost our home, but I mean look on the bright side we have each other as a growing family right?"

Optimus: "You are correct Bumblebee. Though we have lost many we will always have each other no matter where we end up."

Optimus smiled at the thought of the Autobots with him would become a family anywhere together

Arcee: "It seems awfully nice to relax for a bit and be a family."

Cliffjumper: Wherever we may end up alive or with Primus

As they continued their route Ratchet was activating a space bridge which lead them to a new galaxy

Optimus: "Ratchet are there any habitable world in this sector?"

Optimus asked Ratchet eagerly to land The Ark and explore a new world

Ratchet: "Yes there is one. According to the scanners there's a planet called Earth."

Optimus' optics widened as the name of the planets rang in his audio receptors

Optimus: "Ratchet are you certain the planet that is habitable is called Earth?"

Ratchet: "Yes. Is there a problem?"

Optimus stood up from his control panel and went to the Communication deck. He entered a few numbers in the panel and a com-link video came online

Optimus: "Optimus Prime to Omega Outpost 1 do you read?"

???: "Night Bird here. We read you loud and clear Optimus Prime. Is there a problem?"

The Autobots stared at Optimus with a very confused look wondering who was he talking to or what in the All Spark he was doing

Optimus: "My Autobots and I are entering this planets atmosphere coming in fast we will need assistance"

Night Bird: "Right away sir we await your arrival."

The Autobots said nothing to their leader but the looks on there faces asked many questions

Optimus: "Autobots return to your places and buckle up its gonna be a bumpy ride."

Arcee: There are Autobots here? How?

Optimus: "I sent a team of Autobots to this sector to search for new life and fuel. The team reported back to me and told me the name of this planet. They also mentioned it was rich with energon."

The Ark began to fall into Earth's atmosphere. Optimus grinned his dentas as he struggled to gain control of the ship

Bulkhead: "Optimus......PULL UP, PULL UP!!!"

Optimus: "I'm trying"

Before any thing else could be said The Ark impacted with the planets ground

Optimus: "Say something anybody!"

Optimus said worriedly as he saw his team scattered around the control room. Optimus nearly lost it as a voice perked up after another

Bumblebee: "Remind me to give the auto pilot a raise!"

Arcee: "Ugh what did we hit?" My processor is buzzing!"

Cliffjumper: "Ugh my transistors"

Optimus couldn't help but smile at the Autobots remarks. Suddenly the proximity sensors on the ship went off. Ratchet nearly jumped out of his metal skin

Optimus: "Do not fear it is our contacts on this planet!"

The Autobots stepped out of The Ark, stepped foot on the planet so new to them and were greeted by another team of Autobots stationed on this planet
