"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."

Mazikeen crossed her arms from the perch near Optimus's head as he spoke of the prophecy,

"What? No Earthquakes?"

Arcee smirked, 

"No fire raining from the sky?"

Ratchet shrugged, 

"Goes without saying. It's a doom prophecy, after all,"

Bulkhead rolled his optics, 

"I say it's a load of hooey,"

Ratchet sighed,

"I had always assumed the ancients were referring to our home planet, but being that Cybertron has been dark for eons,"

Optimus nodded, 

"And seeing as what has befallen this planet since Megatron's arrival here,"

Mazikeen and Bulkhead's eyes/optics widened, 

"Hold up, you aren't saying,"

They shared a look but ignored how perfect sync they were. Optimus slowly nodded, but Arcee crossed her arms, 

"We've known about these superstitions for ages and never gave them a second thought. Why all the ominous rumblings now?"

Optimus sighed, and Ratchet looked at the computer, 

"Because the planetary alignment to which the prophecy refers is nearly upon us. It appears that it's endpoint is Earth,"

Mazikeen frowned in thought, 

"But that doesn't make any sense-"

They all looked at her, 

"I have been studying Cybertron the past four years of my life. This does not happen in my Universe,"

Optimus sighed, 

"Mazikeen, maybe that is because the Autobots in your universe do not want you to worry,"

Mazikeen thought back to the ordeal with Sentinel and the Space Bridge before she sighed and nodded, 

"Alright, point taken. So what happens now?"

Bulkhead took a small step back, 

"But, this could just be one big crazy coincidence, r-right?"

Arcee sighed, 

"How long are we talking?"

"A few days,"

Mazikeen sighed, 

"Great, fantastic. I'm here for a month and a half, and the world is ending,"

Bumblebee looked up at her, 

"Do not worry, Mazikeen,"

Optimus nodded, 

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

Mazikeen slowly nodded, 

"Well, who would?"

Ratchet glanced at her,
