Author's Notes:

Okay so trying to flesh this scene out wasn't entirely great, and this wasn't the best work I've done. However I tried, and that's important.

Sunset Shimmer flinched her eyes opened and moaned. She had just awoken to something that didn't sound good. Something had happened. Something dangerous, something... evil. She looked around to where she was, wondering what had happened. How did she even end up where she was?

Her happiness elevated for a moment, until it came crashing back down. Her friends were all around her... dead. Floating in space, as lifeless, cold, shells. It looked like a bunch of laser bullets kept on hitting them and wouldn't stop. And she was floating in space as well. She wasn't alone in this, she was floating with all of them too. But she wasn't dead, she was still alive.

"No... no.... No! How did this happen!?" Sunset screamed.

Sunset looked around her for anything, any signs of anything that could give her an indication of what had happened. But there was no signs, they were all just... there. Sunset's breathing intensified, and she began hyperventilating. This couldn't be happening. Why did it happen? How did it happen? Who did this?

Her heart immediately stopped when she heard maniacal laughter coming from behind. She recognized that laugh too well. When she turned, she watched Megatron standing on the body of Optimus Prime, laughing manically along with his other Decepticon allies.

"Victory is ours now! All of this planet belongs to us now!" Megatron boomed.

Sunset was about to move, but something else came into her view. She saw the entire planet of Equestria. Her home planet, had just appeared right in front of her. But something else came into her view. A pair of giant green eyes glimmered in the darkness.

"No... please... no..." Sunset whimpered. "Who are you!? Leave Equestria alone!"

"For a time, I considered sparing your wretched little planet of Equestria... but now you shall witness, ITS DISMEMBERMENT!" The being yelled.

Before Sunset could react, a giant hand came up and slammed it into a claw like motion onto the planet, digging into it. Its plates began falling apart, and parts of it were beginning to decay. The destruction, had already commenced.

"NO!!!!"

"NO!!!!" Sunset screamed, sitting upright in her bed.

Her heart pounded against her chest. She looked to see sweat was running down her face, and tears down her cheeks. She looked around. She was still in her bedroom.

She looked around some more, and tears began to well up in her eyes. She covered her face, and sobbed. The image of Megatron killing their friends was still on her mind. She witnessed how destructive and violent they could get in one battle, and she didn't expect them to start killing. Especially when the news of Twilight's supposed 'death'. And now the very idea of Megatron exacting revenge on Sunset for defeating him at Canterlot High, and killing all of her friends frightened her to no end.

"What if its true... what if Equestria becomes destroyed... what if... Megatron returns..." Sunset cooed.

Sunset stopped crying when she saw a glimmer of light enter the room from outside, and heard the metallic clanking of footsteps enter in. She looked up and entering in came a shrunken down to human size, Optimus Prime.

"Sunset? Are you okay?" Optimus asked.

Sunset shook her head. Optimus moved over and sat on the edge of the bed, facing Sunset.

"He's... he's..."

"Its alright Sunset, its just another nightmare," Optimus said in a warm and comforting voice.

"This wasn't like any of the ones I've had before," Sunset whimpered, voice sounding shaky. Her hands kept shaking, and more tears ran down her face.

"What do you mean?" Optimus asked.

Sunset gulped, "I... I saw Megatron. And... he killed all of my friends and... I saw him standing on you, like... like he killed you. But... then this giant monster the size of a planet began to destroy Equestria. He said that he considered sparing Equestria, but then said now I would witness its destruction. I... I don't know what I saw but... it..."

Optimus moved over and pulled Sunset in for a hug, letting her cry on his shoulder, and Optimus just rubbed her back gently as she continued to weep. No wonder she couldn't sleep. This wasn't the first time she had one of those nightmares. She had been getting a lot of nightmares ever since the battle of Canterlot. For almost every night since their battle, she had been having some form of nightmare that involved Megatron, and in almost every one of them, it involved Megatron destroying something that Sunset loved.

"Sunset, it's okay. I'm here for you," Optimus said.

Sunset pulled away from Optimus's embrace, and moved herself from out of the covers, and sat on the edge of the bed next to the Autobot.

"Optimus. Did... did you ever have nightmares?"

Optimus looked back at Sunset, "I have. Even Cybertronians have nightmares. But the ones I had long ago were during the war, before I was made a Prime. But even then I still have them today. However most of the ones that I have in these times are visions telling me events that are to come for later in the future."

Sunset looked at Optimus's face, "You mean, you get visions of things that might happen that haven't happened yet?"

Optimus nodded, "Correct. Before I met you or your friends, I had visions of someone who would rise above us, and help win the battle against Megatron. And from there I kept wondering as to who it would be. And that someone..." Optimus looked at Sunset with a smile, "Was you."

Sunset gave a weak smile, "Thanks Optimus. But I'm still not sure if what I saw was real. I hope it wasn't but... I don't know."

Optimus patted Sunset's shoulders, "We'll try and do some more research on Teletraan-1 about anything that might have something to do with what you had seen. But for now, you should try and go back to sleep. You need your rest."

Sunset nodded, "Okay... But wait, can you stay in here with me? Just so I know I'm safe with you?"

Optimus smiled, "Of course."

Sunset moved herself back under the covers, and Optimus helped pull a few of them over her, a smile still on her face. While she still was scared, she felt better knowing that Optimus Prime was here to protect her.

"Good night Sunset," Optimus said.

"Good night Optimus," Sunset said.

But before Optimus moved, Sunset quickly moved back up and gave another hug to Optimus, catching him off guard. The Autobot leader just smiled and patted her pajama covered back.

"Thank you, Optimus," Sunset cooed.

Sunset lied back down and puffed up her pillow and rested her head, closing her eyes. Optimus looked at Sunset one last time, and then turned his attention to gaze out the window of the starry night, staying silent. He wasn't sure how to help Sunset deal with her nightmares, and he wanted to help her. But it seems the very image of Megatron had stayed imprinted on her brain, and it wouldn't be leaving for a while.

But as he stood for a moment, he took a moment to look on a small nightstand which contained her notes. And there was an open page which she left open.

He stared down for a moment and he gave a small smile to what he could see. All of the things that were written down were notes of events that had happened over the entire year they were fighting together. He could see many key things like Smallfoot and Sour Sweet were now in a relationship, the Autobots now had some new recruits on their side, reformed Decepticons were living peacefully in Canterlot, and so many other new events had arisen.

Many things had happened during their stay on Earth, and he was happy to have the girls by their side to deal with many of these events. But there was one thing he did know. Their easy missions weren't going to be easy for long. He knew the Decepticons would return one day... but it was only a question of when.
