~The Little Prime~

The universe contained all kinds of life, from microorganisms to sentient beings of all sizes and shapes. The final frontier held many wonders and fascinations, too many to count. Planets, stars, nebulas, galaxies dotted the blackness of space, all of them different but also alike in ways. But none were more alike, or connected, as two different planets.

One was called Earth, home of the human race. It was an organic planet, constructed of land, water and air, and numerous species of all types of creatures roamed the terrain. Its climate and seasons changed annually and there were different kinds of humans. It was both beautiful and mysterious, and very unique.

The other planet, millions upon millions of light-years away from Earth, was named Cybertron, constructed entirely of metal and inhabited by autonomous robotic organisms of all sizes. But the only thing that defined each Cybertronian as an individual was their gender and occupation. Other than that, things were the same. There were two classes: the average class, and the high class. The majority of the Cybertronians are among this rank; the only ones in the high class are the ruler of their world, Primus, and his thirteen students—the Thirteen Primes. The Cybertronians had discovered Earth some time ago and were enraptured by its beauty and technology. Only a selected few were sent to Earth via the space bridge to study the inhabitants, their warfare, and how life goes on among this planet. None of the few were any from the higher class, for the thirteen students were forbidden from going to Earth for their protection, and they were needed to continue their training and own studies.

But that was about to change.

On a lovely day on Cybertron, many Cybertronians were gathering in the great kingdom of Iacon, for there would be a great concert in honor of their beloved Primus, performed by the Primes. Everyone was in a buzz over it as they excitedly entered the gates, taking their seats in the auditorium. It is not often that they see the Primes and their teacher, as they refer to Primus, amongst the common folk. In a way, they are like princes and princesses, their teacher the king, and they are highly honored and respected.

The crowd went into silence as the guards of Iacon marched rhythmically, lined single file, then divided into two lines facing each other. Then a minicon hurried out to the front of the line, stumbling a little and panting, and cleared his throat as he announced, "His graciousness, the Great Primus!"

With a powerful fanfare, the crowd cheered and applauded as the highly praised Primus entered the auditorium riding on a Cyber-stallion through the line of guards, waving and nodding to the audience with a warm smile on his face plate. As leader of Cybertron, Primus maintained order amongst the Cybertronians, keeping things fair yet firm for everyone; as a teacher, he taught his students the ways of a Prime based on each individual student, equally being fair and firm. He took a seat in a throne provided for him in the very front of the auditorium.

"And presenting," added the minicon, "the distinguished court composer! Horatio Tenacious Advantageous Medicatious Ratchet!" The crowd applauded with a smaller fanfare as an orange and white Cybertronian entered the auditorium on a smaller Cyber-stallion, waving with a smile on his face. Ratchet was not only a composer for the people of Cybertron, but he was also a well recognized medic; he tended to the students and to Primus if they were ill or injured, so the others believe he was lucky to serve the great Primus and meet his students. Then suddenly his stallion decided to buck around and he nearly fell off as he clung on for dear life; while he was shaken up a little, the audience sure found it amusing. Grumbling a little, he signaled the stallion to trot to Primus and hopped off, mounting it and then bowing to Primus and giving his respects.

"I am really looking forward to this performance, Ratchet," said Primus.

Ratchet scoffed confidently, a little bashful from Primus's anticipation for the show. "Great Primus," he began with a chuckle, "this will be the finest concert I have ever conducted! Your students, they will be spectacular!"

Primus chuckled with a nod. "Yes—especially my youngest, Optimus."

"Yes, yes," Ratchet said. "He has the finest voice a mech his age could have." He then dismissed himself and made his way to the podium while grumbling, "if only the kid would show up for rehearsals once and a while."

Then the lights dimmed in the auditorium and the crowd went into respectful silence once again. A spotlight shone onto Ratchet as he stood before the orchestra; while they tuned up, he pulled out a data pad and activated it, revealing the music sheet he had worked so hard to create. With a confident smile, he laid it out in front of him, brushed himself off and held a baton firmly in between his fingers. He waved it around and the orchestra began to play.

Rising up from the floors of the stage were twelve illuminating pods, and upon each door was a different symbol, resembling each of the students. Then the doors all swung open with the rhythm of the music, and one by one the young Primes stepped out, standing before the pod. Then a spotlight shone down onto each of them as they began to perform.

We are the Thirteen Primes of Primus

Great Teacher who taught us and raised us well

Vector Prime, Solus Prime

Micronus Prime, Alchemist Prime

Nexus Prime, Onyx Prime

Megatronus, Alpha Trion

Amalgamous Prime, Liege Maximo

Quintus Prime, and Prima

With each name that was called, each student stepped forward and did a graceful bow to Primus, then backed up. Once they finished announcing each other's names in unison, they all stepped forward and formed a circle, and a final pod arose from the stage, one with another unique symbol.

And now here comes the youngest

In this musical debut

The Thirteenth of us all

And we're presenting him to you

To sing a hymn that Ratchet wrote

To honor Great Primus

The Thirteenth Prime, Opti—

The door to the pod opened.

It was empty.

The twelve Primes all gasped and looked at one another apprehensively and the crowd murmured in surprise and shock.

Ratchet gasped in utter horror to see that the pod was empty and turned to see Primus angrily rise from his throne, his hands in tight fists.

"OPTIMUS!"
