Cybertron

The moment I opened my eyes, I realized that I had no control over my body. Like I was stuck in a dream. I found myself floating in space, frost had covered my entire paint job due to the fact that I was so far in space. I tried moving my servos, which I was slightly successful at doing. I watched out the corner of my optics and saw my servo ball slowly into a fist.

Before I knew it, I was gain full control of my body again and I was looking around for my dad. I knew he was around here, but I couldn't see him. It's like he vanished.

"D-Dad!?" I called as I looked around some more. I still couldn't see him, which started to scare me. But then, relief washed over me when I heard my Dad's voice.

"I..am..Optimus..Prime.." I powered up and flew over to the source of my Dad's voice. It was a big space, but it wasn't that big to where I can't find my Dad. Then I did. I saw my Dad but, it looked like he was shooting towards me, and fast.

"Dad?" I saw my father, but he looked different. His paint job was more darker and he had this menacing look on his face like he wanted to kill me. But then I looked at his optics. They were a violent purple and had a sinister look in them. When he came up in front of me, he unveiled his sword.

"Dad, what are yo-Ah!" Before I could finish, I felt an unbearable pain shoot through my entire abdomen. I shocked by the sudden action and looked down to see energon covered on my Dad's sword. Some of it mine, some looked like old energon.

I looked at my Dad widened before he drove the sword farther in my abdomen.

"You betrayed her, Zara." He mumbled as energon tears began to flow from my optics. "And we must kill all that betray Quintessa."

"NO!" I shouted before closing my optics. I had them shut for a bit and realized I wasn't dying. Why? When I opened my eyes again, I saw my Dad hovering over me, a concerned look on his faceplates.

"Zara? Are you okay?" He asked as my eyes went wide with fear. It was just a dream?! Then, why did it feel so..real? I shook my helm before I sat upright. I now was curious about my surroundings and looked around.

"Where are we?"

"Cybertron." My Dad said as my optics glistened with excitement. "Cybertron!? I can't believe it! I'm really here!"

"Zara.." Dad called as I smiled back at him, but instantly frowned when I saw my Dad was upset. "What's wrong? Aren't you happy to be back home?"

"Yes. But, this is not the Cybertron I knew. It's feels..lifeless." Dad described as I looked around. I will admit that it does, but I didn't care. It looked so beautiful either way. "What has happened to it?"

"Your world is dying." They heard as they exchanged looks. I looked towards the opening before I walked towards it, Dad following close behind me as I did. "I've been waiting for you both."

"Yeah, well, so have I." I mumbled with my blade unveiled. Dad had grabbed my shoulderplate as if he was telling me to stand down. I said before I retracted my blade and walked through the opening. It looked like a large ship and we had just walked through what looked like an engine.

That's not what scared me the most. What scared me the most was the large metal animal like creature that had walked out of the shadows and was approaching us slowly.

Before I knew it, I was in front of something. Or someone.

The creature opened it's eyes and it sparked like diamonds. They were gorgeous.

"Who are you?" I asked as the creature turned to us. "I am Quintessa. The Prime of Life."

"So, you're my..creator?" I asked her as she gave a devilish smile. "Yes. Surprised?"

"Nah. I'm just pissed off." I retorted before I brought out my blade. "You dare to pull a weapon on your God?"

"After the hell that you put me and my family through? You got alot of nerve thinking this was going to happen." I said with a glare. But before I could attack her, Dad had beat me to it and went to slash her with his sword, but it was knocked out of his servos.

"Dad! Ow!" Before I could get to my dad, chains began to fly to my wrists and my ankles, along with my Dad and I strained against them, trying to break them, but they were too strong.

"Let me go!" I shouted while still trying to break the chains. "I swear to God! Let me go!"

A blast was sent at me and felt pain strike through my entire chassis before I fell to the ground.

"Zara! I'll kill you!" I heard my Dad shout as I struggled with getting up. Just as I did, I saw Quintessa blast my Dad and he went to the ground.

"No!" I cried out. I vented quickly as I watch her torture my Dad, stating things like he was the one who destroyed Cybertron. But what angered me the most was what she did.

She. Slapped. My. Dad!

Oh, no! She did not just do that!
