Ok. first thing to tell.
This takes place during season Uno(1)
So that means no Smokescreen, Ultra Magnus, Shockwave, or anyone else after season 1.
That season is the one I know better of and it has less characters to deal with.
Ok...
On with the story!
Agent Fowler hated boats, more in particular anything making him be on water made him queasy. The ex-army ranger was not a sea man by heart as well as by gut, so when his superiors told him that he had to get on this ship to go see if this item found on an abandon island was alien related… he didn't chance it by eating breakfast.
The voyage was long and boring, and Fowler was doing everything and anything to keep his stomach from doing somersaults. So far he had blown chunks over the boats sides but they were only half way to the island so there was still time.
"Stupid boat." The agent grumbled as he leaned his head in his hand. "Why couldn't they have just let me fly over?" But flying wasn't an option they told him, he needed to see it up close and personal; and not from a cockpit of an aircraft. Looking off into the distance, Fowler saw nothing but water, water, and more water. But if he squinted his eyes he could just barely make out the image of the island they were heading for.
Groaning that they weren't there yet, Agent Fowler decided to head inside to rest but that plan was stopped dead cold as the ship's alarm horn sounded out. Watching the soldiers run past him, Fowler managed to grab ahold of one of them by the arm. "What's going on here, soldier?"
"A boat has come up on the other side of the ship. We believe that is fishing illegally sir." The soldier stated as he rushed off to follow his troops. Wondering what this mysterious ship looked like, Agent Fowler raced off after the men and soon found himself on the ships other side.
Just as the soldier had said, there was another ship. It was not as big as theirs but it was a good sized one with large nets, spears, and… bombs. Fowler couldn't believe what he was seeing, over a dozen men were on that dinky tug boat and dropping bombs into the water like it was the most normal thing in the world.
"Someone get me a megaphone!" Fowler shouted and soon was given one. "Stop your fishing! You are breaking the law!" Agent Fowler shouted but the men on the ship ignored him as they dropped four to six bombs in the water and as the sunk deep into the sea they exploded and brought up what looked to be hundreds of dollars' worth in fish.
"Someone stop them!" Fowler shouted and a few men rushed off to find something to stop the illegal fishermen… but something was already beating them to it.
Speeding through the water like a blurry jet, the fishing men soon found themselves and their boat being pushed back away from the military ship at speeds that rivaled any ship. Watching this all happening, Fowler's jaw dropped at how quickly the boat had moved and how whatever did that shook the men up so much that they had stopped dropping their bombs.
"Wow, what weapon did you use that can do that?" Fowler asked as the men came back but were just as shocked as he was. "… That wasn't us sir." One of the men stated and it made Fowler look at him in shock. "Then who in the name of Uncle Sam did that?" the agent asked as they all turned back to the fishing boat to see the men looking over the boat in fear. The water around the boat was swirling madly and bubbles were floating up with a hiss. At first, Fowler thought it was like a underwater volcano but there was none reported around this area and the idea itself was blown away at what happened next.
Rising out of the water, separating the two boats, came what looked like a gigantic, humongous, towering sea monster. It was covered in all colored seaweed, shells, and other sea trash that masked it from the humans seeing it clearly but it made it no less terrifying.
"What is that thing?!" a soldier shouted out. "Let's get out of here!" another shouted and it made Fowler agree with him. The agent did not want to stay long enough to see if the monster would attack them like it was about to do with the fish boat.
As soldiers ran past him, Fowler could make out the sea monster moving closer to the other boat and it had its arm raised into the air ready to attack with what looked like large spear made of some kind of bone. Not sure what to do to help the illegal fishermen Fowler saw out of the corner of his eye that one of the law breakers already was on that.
A man that was dark skinned was standing up with a large bomb in his hand and he didn't look happy. Fowler could hear the man shouting something like 'take this beast' and watched as said man tossed the bomb at the sea monster. As the bomb flew through the air, Fowler could see it land around the area where the monster's hip would be and it got tangled in with the seaweed.
As the bomb started to flash some lights Fowler shouted, "Hit the deck!" and as everyone did as such the bomb went off and it caused plenty of seaweed to go flying off in different directions as well as making the monster screech in pain before falling back into the water.
Peaking over the deck, Fowler watched as a dark figure under the water raced off in the direction the island was said to be and the seaweed that covered it floated to the surface. As everyone stood back up, Fowler saw that the fishing ship was covered in the seaweed and wasn't able to move with the added weight.
"Might want to hurry up and grab those men before they decide to abandon ship soldier." Agent Fowler stated to man next to him who nodded and rushed off to find something to go over to the other boat. As all the men left, Fowler looked over the edge of the boat again and saw something that shocked him more than he already was.
In the spot where the sea monster was, in the water float a bright blue liquid that looked oddly familiar. "No, it can't be. Can it?" Fowler said to himself as he pulled out his cell phone and called a certain robot medic who knew more of what he thought the liquid was. "Hey Ratchet. I got to ask you and Prime a favor."
OoOoOoOoOo
"And why are we out here again?" Bulkhead asked for what Ratchet thought was the quadrillionth time. "We are out here, Bulkhead, cause Agent Fowler said he thought he saw some energon floating in the ocean when his boat was attacked." Ratchet repeated with an irritated groan. "To be correct Ratchet, Agent Fowler said that his boat was not attacked but a fishing boat that was doing something illegal was." Optimus responded, not taking his optics off the water.
"yes, but either way, if what Fowler says is true than that might mean the Decepticons have some underwater activity going on." Ratchet stated as he tapped his pede on the ship he and his fellow Autobots were on.
"They already rule the sky, why would they care about controlling the water?" Bulk asked. "There are multiple reasons Bulkhead as to why the Decepticons want to control the water," Optimus stated as he walked over to the boats near edge. "But at the moment this is mystery."
Joining his leader, Ratchet peered over the edge to see what Optimus was. "It does appear to be energon." Ratchet stated as he dipped his servo into the blue liquid that was before them. "But to make sure." Pulling out his scanner, Ratchet scanned over the liquid mixed with the ocean and sighed.
"It's a mixture of salt water and... a very small amount of energon." At hearing this Optimus became worried and stood back up. "Fowler said the creature swam to the island that is up ahead. Perhaps we should look there first." Nodding his helm at the idea, Ratchet walked past Optimus and over to Bulkhead. "Let's just hope that it is on the island. Our bodies can't stand being in saltwater for long periods so underwater searching is out of the question."
Nodding his helm Optimus turned to the direction where the island was. This whole situation was troubling the Prime. If the Decepticons were trying new means of become more aquatic that only spelled trouble for him and his small team.
As the ship sped over the water, they soon found themselves at the island that was said to be uninhabited. It was a tropical island, thick forests of palm trees and other vegetation, yellow sandy beaches, and in the middle of the island was a high mountain. "Wow, Miko would have loved to see this." Bulkhead said as he came off the boat and ran his digits on the sand.
"The only good this place will do is give me a reason to clean my joins. By the end of this I will have so much organic material it won't be funny." Ratchet said as he shook some sand that was in his ped. "Bulkhead, you travel on the west side of the island. Ratchet you will join me on the east." Optimus stated as he started to travel down the beach.
"See you guys in a bit than." Bulkhead said as he started to travel off and Ratchet followed Optimus. "What do suspect we will find?" Ratchet asked but Optimus didn't answer for he didn't have the slightest clue as to what he would see. As the two traveled farther down the beach, Optimus took notice at how a pod of dolphins had appeared in the ocean next to him and how they seemed to be following them. "That is strange." the Prime stated as he stopped for a moment.
"What is it Optimus?" Ratchet asked as he looked out to the ocean as Optimus was. "Those dolphins have been following us for some time now." Optimus stated as he pointed his servo out to the marine mammals, who had stopped moving and were waiting with the two bots. "So? They're just mindless creature inspecting the new attraction that has landed on this island." Ratchet stated as he started to walk on but Optimus didn't.
He could sense something was up with these animals. Almost as if they wanted him to follow them and lead him somewhere. Taking a step into the salty water, Optimus watched as the pod moved closer to him and started to swim laps around and between his legs. "See, they are only interesting in finding out what we are." Ratchet said as he came back when seeing Optimus not following him. "Now get out before rust starts to form."
But Optimus didn't move. He continued to gaze down at the dolphins that were frantically swimming and bumping into his legs. Finally, one of the larger dolphins started to swim away from him and the others followed but it came back and repeated this. Thinking of this as a way of saying 'follow me' Optimus trudged through the water after the dolphins who were now leading him somewhere. "What are you doing Optimus?" Ratchet asked irritably.
"Just trust me Ratchet. Something is not right." Optimus responded as he followed the dolphins, who were now going up a large river that led into the island. "Where are they going?" Ratchet asked as they went along with them. As they continued down their path, Optimus soon saw that the river they were in entered into the mountain that had a large enough opening for both him and Ratchet to walk through.
"Come along Ratchet." Optimus said and the medic gave off an irritated groan. "Great now I have to get wet." Stepping into the salt water, Ratchet soon found himself up to his knees where as Optimus was just at his ankles. "If I rust I get to blame you." Ratchet said as they traveled on, still following the dolphins. As the group traveled in near darkness, Ratchet noticed something about the walls. "This cave was carved out Optimus. And not by natural means of erosion."
Nodding his helm, Optimus looked up ahead to see that they were reaching the end of the cave and it had a light source. When the two finally reached the end, they were awestruck at what they saw. The end of the cave was the whole mountain, hollow all the way up to the top where the sun was shinning down, and the bottom was gone which was filled with water.
Putting his arm out, Optimus stopped Ratchet from walking into the hole that was before them and get covered in water. "I wonder what the Decepticons have down there?" Ratchet said as he looked down the deep and watery hole but saw nothing but darkness. "I do not believe this has anything to do with Decepticons Ratchet." Optimus stated. "Why?" Ratchet asked and looked over in the direction Optimus was looking and saw the dolphins splashing something.
It looked to be a large mass of seaweed clinging to the cave wall but as the dolphins splashed at it the more the seaweed fell and uncovered what was really clinging to the wall. "Primus." Ratchet said in shock as the final amount of the seaweed fell and showed something that neither Optimus or himself would ever thought to see. Staring down with wide optics, Optimus' jaw slacked a bit as he stared down at... a femme.
She was a skinny little thing, arms thin and spindly, and her body had no armor to cover her so her bright blue protoform was showing. Her helm sported multiple long cables and wires that were white and a darker blue. Her arms were covered in many Cybertronian symbols that wrapped around them and traveled up her chest and down her sides. But what was her most shocking feature that they could see was her large dark blue optics.
They were nothing like Ratchet or Optimus had ever seen. They had no pupils and didn't look mechanical like normal Cybertronian optics, they were just one solid color and had a glassy look to them like organic creators' did.
As Optimus continued to look at the strange femme, it finally dawned on him that she was staring at him in fear and her arms were shaking as she held herself up on the wall. "She is afraid." Optimus stated and Ratchet nodded. "I can see that, as well as her injury." Pointing to the dark waters, Ratchet showed Optimus the large amount of energon that was forming around the femme.
"We need to get her out so I can mend her up, but how?" Ratchet said as he looked at the water before him. How the femme got over to the other side of the dark sink hole Optimus and Ratchet didn't have a clue. Looking at the dolphins, that were still here, Optimus saw them traveling around the walls and saw that there was ledges that looked strong and deep enough to hold him up.
Slowly placing his servo on one of the ledges, Optimus slipped himself into the water and started to slowly travel over to the femme. "Be careful Optimus." Ratchet said as he watched the Prime travel around on the wall until he finally was only a few feet away from the femme. At seeing the mech coming closer to her, the femme tried to move away but in her weakened state her grip was slipping.
"I will not hurt you." Optimus stated as he held his servo out for the femme to take. "I am only here to help you." Looking down at the servo presented to her, the femme looked at it and Optimus closely almost as if she was deciding if she should trust him or just fall into the water depth below her. After a few silent minutes, the femme let one of her own small servos go of the wall and slowly placed it in Optimus'.
Smiling at how he gained the femme's trust, Optimus slowly pulled her from the wall into his grip and watched as she wrapped her arms around his neck. As Optimus started to travel back, he felt something wrap around his middle and it made him pause for a moment but when nothing else happened he continued to travel back towards Ratchet.
When he finally made to his medic, Optimus saw the worried look on Ratchet face as he looked down at the two of them. "She is so small. She has to be smaller than Arcee." Ratchet stated as he helped his friend up out of the water. As they came up slowly, Optimus looked down at the femme and saw that her wound was right on her side and was leaking profusely but as they came up all the way Ratchet nearly dropped them at what they saw.
"Dear sweet Primus! What is that?!" Ratchet shouted and it made the femme struggle in Optimus' hold. "I... do not know Ratchet. But she is hurt so we are obliged to help her." Optimus stated as he rubbed the femme's arm to calm her down. "Call Bulkhead and tell him to meet us back at the ship." Optimus said as he started to walk back out of the cave.
Watching the Prime and odd femme walk ahead of him, Ratchet sighed before he followed them and called the green wrecker to tell him what they found and to be prepared to see something shocking.
OoOoOoOoOo
"So who's this new femme Ratchet told me about that he and Optimus found?" Arcee asked Bulkhead as and Jack pulled in. "Don't know, Ratchet wouldn't let me see her. Optimus took her into the med-bay. Apparently she's hurt." Bulkhead responded as Miko sat on his shoulder and was staring at the med-bay door.
"I wanna see her. Wonder why boss bot and doc want to keep her a secret?" Miko said and Raf shrugged as he played a video game with Bee on the TV. "Who knows but give it time Miko. I'm sure they'll let us see her soon."
"I don't want to wait though!" Miko shouted as she leaned into Bulkhead's helm with an irritated look on her. "Where did they find her?" Jack asked as he sat down next to Raf. "Ratchet said on an island. Wonder how long she was on there?" Raf said as he lost the game to Bumblebee. "An island? really?" Arcee asked.
"Indeed." turning around, everyone saw Optimus come out of the med-bay with Ratchet close behind. "So, can we see her?" Miko asked. "In a second. First you all need to know something." Ratchet said as he shut the door behind him. "Know what Ratchet?" Bee asked.
"This femme is quite... different from us." Optimus said as he looked down at Ratchet with a worried expression. "How different? Like Decepticon different?" Jack asked and Ratchet shook his helm. "No, nothing like that. In fact I don't think she is on either side; a neutral."
"Than what's the problem with her?" Arcee asked. "...Something we have never seen before." Optimus said as he motioned for all of them to follow back inside the med-bay. As everyone filed in, they saw the femme on a berth fasted asleep with her lower body cover by a large white sheet. "She's just a kid." Bulkhead said as he saw how small she was and how delicate her face was.
"And she... um... doesn't have any plating on." Bee said as he notice she had no armor on her body but luckily she had her chest covered with what looked to be a broken fishing net. "Why doesn't she have her armor on?" Arcee asked. "We don't know," Ratchet said. "But from the looks of her protoform she never had any." Looking at the new femme, Miko noticed something moving under the sheet. "What's that?" the Asian girl asked as she pointed to the sheet and everyone noticed how it was moving as well.
"That is the reason why she is different from us." Optimus said as he took a hold of a corner of the sheet and started to pull it off. As the white sheet glided off her body, everyone finally saw why Optimus and Ratchet were so freaked out. "No way." Jack said in shock from Arcee's servo. "How does something like this happen?" Arcee asked. "Whoa." Bulkhead said in shock.
What they were all looking at was something they least expected.
The femme had not a pair of small thin legs and small matching peds but instead she had one long and dark blue... tail.
In place of her legs was a fish tail. It had a feather end fin with smaller ones on the backside and traveling all the way down it was Cybertronian symbols.
As everyone stared at, they watched how it would twitch, tap against the berth, and shift and it told them that it was real and attached to her. "This... has to be a joke Optimus." Arcee said but Optimus shook his helm. "I wish it was Arcee." Looking back down at the femme, Optimus didn't know what to or how to approach this. This femme, whatever she is, was nothing ever recorded.
"So... she's like a mermaid?" Miko asked and everyone looked to her in confusion. "Half human, half fish. Or in this case half Cybertronian and fish." she explained and everyone shrugged. It was the closest thing they had to describing this femme. "So are these mermaids real?" Bumblebee asked. "No one knows for sure," Raf stated. "There have been sightings but no one has found any solid proof their in the oceans."
Well, they sure found one now.
The problem now was just figuring out she came to be and who she is.
Well, here's my new idea.
I have had this one in my head for so long and I just finally written it down.
I might not update this too much since I have so many others that need to be update.
But We'll see how it goes.
Until next time,
Girl Supersonicboy OUT!
