"Isn't this amazing Optimus? We live in such a good world!"

Optimus looked at the femme that was walking beside him. She was a pretty looking thing with a white and pink frame and beautiful blue optics. She was currently standing next to him as they watched the young mech that had woke him up prior. He had learned that his name was HotShot and that he was their sparkling. The femme in question was his wife whom was named Elita-1. He was apparently the new appointed leader of New Iacon.

"I can't believe this is all real..." He said with shocked in his voice. "This is all unreal..."

"Optimus are you alright?" Elita-1 wrapped her arms around his, worried. "You seem to be thinking deeply. Are you perhaps nervous about our meeting with Megatron?"

"No it's not that." He assured her, patting her arm. "I just...have you ever had a vision of something that you were unsure it was real or not?"

HotShot ran over and hugged him. "What's a vision?"

"A picture of what is to come, my sparkling." Elita told him, patting his helm. "And Optimus, what is this vision you keep seeing?"

Optimus rested his optics towards the blue sky. "I see myself in a field of rare plants not found on this planet. In that field, I see a woman." He stopped, unfamiliar with the terminology. "She had this strange orange covering on her helm and wore this white feathery armor that billowed in the wind. When she turned around, her eyes conveyed sadness and fear. She reached out towards me, calling my name out and leaking clear substances. Then the world went black as the ground swallowed her up."

"That doesn't sound like a good vision." HotShot said, looking a bit scared.

Elita hugged him tightly. "Not to worry sweetspark, sire was only having a vision. Not all visions come true."

Optimus looked unsure. "I guess not..."

"Okay so how do we break them out of this dreamscape?"

"This new side of you is very daring, you know mom?"

"Thank you Jackie, but now is not the time. The center of the dreamscape is around here somewhere."

"I believe the best place to start would be in the center of the city."

"Yeah, but I don't think mom can walk out there looking like this. She's so small and could be crushed."

"Actually thinking for once Wheeljack? Thought that was hard for you to do."

"Why don't you come over here Magnus and I'll show you how hard I can think!"

Galthea growled and hit both of them on the ped. "Would you two stop fighting for once and think of a plan together? And I'll be fine so stop worrying about me."

The trio of them stepped into the city, the glowing from all the buildings casting a shine on them. They knew that this world was as fake as everything around it. Galthea swore by the All-Spark that she would bring her family back from wherever they were trapped. She looked down at the mask in her hands and put it on to adjust to the atmosphere of the dream realm. Wheeljack and Ultra Magnus placed theirs on as well.

If you are like me reader, you are probably wondering why they have these masks on in the first place. To answer that question, we need to go back a few pages in this book and remember from the moment that these three encountered the others in the house where Penny lived.

"Please sit down Miss Galthea."

Galthea sat down on her sister's couch as Sera poured her a cup of tea. Wheeljack and Ultra Magnus went to play with the other various children that were in the house. Tanya say down next to her, worry evident on her face.

"Do you know if Optimus is alright?" She asked Gal, making her sigh and ruffle her hair.

"I'm certain that he is. That boy is strong." Gal told her, easing the young one's ails. "I'm going to get him back."

"That's what I needed to talk to you about." Sera gave her the cup. "Optimus and the others are in a world beyond worlds. They are placed in a dream-like state that causes the body to hallucinate a different reality."

"So in other words, they're sleeping?" Tanya asked, tapping her chin. "Or in a comatose state of mind?"

"Precisely...." Sera smiled.

"Are you sure you all go to public school?" Gal said shocked. "You two are way to smart to know all this."

"I'm just in the spirit more than the average person." Sera said. "But you hold the power of the All-Spark within you, allowing you to tap into a power that others wishes they had."

"How do you know about the All-Spark?" Gal asked suspiciously.

"I just do, and you'll have to trust me on this one." Sera grabbed a glowing blue orb that swirled and shifted on the inside. "This is pure energon in a gaseous state. Using this, you can access the DreamScape via mind!" She put it in Gal's hand. "Once you crack this orb, your mind, body, and soul will be in the mindscape. Anything you do in that world can harm you in this one!"

"But will I be able to save my family?"

"Depends on if you can find the catalyst that triggered the dream. It will be something hard to find, but I think it will be obvious to see if you look into the enemies' eyes."

"Look into the enemies' eyes? I guess I can do that." Gal looked warily at the orb. "Can I bring my kids with me? If anything, they know the world better than I do."

Sera nodded. "If they want, they can. But you must hurry. Time is of the essence and we can't waste it on trivial questioning." She looked into her eyes, although she was blind. "The world has turned upside-down and chaos will reign. Only you can save our friends...Breakdown....everyone."

Galthea gave a determined look. "You have my honor that I will do anything for my family. I swear on the All-Spark that we will save this world!"

"Oh? An intruder in my Dreamscape?" Tempest gasped, seeing newfound data on the screen. "Now I can't have that now! If the pests find the catalyst, they could ruin everything!"

Tempest grinned and pressed a few keys. "But when. You have pests, you got to kill them. Oh this will be fun...."
