Elisa's POV

I don't remember how I got here, the ground was hard when I hit it. I felt the wind slamming into my body, the ground and sky smudging together as I fell to the ground. It felt like a thousand little pin-prick smacking into my body as I hit the hard dirt, I groaned as I looked up at the sky, wondering what in the world had happened.

Slowly, I lifted myself up. I looked at the barren landscape, my whole right side feeling like it was gonna fall off my body. I looked for my tricorder and phaser, both still on my hip and intact. I sighed with relief.

"Alright, where am I?" I muttered to myself, I pulled out my tricorder, scanning the area. Before I could finish scanning, my ears heard a "crack" and I quickly turned around and pulled out my phaser, pointing it at the general direction. The stupid thing was near too small for my big "non-fingers" to pull the trigger. I was slightly shaking out of fear, I tried to sound as big and scary as I looked, as I screamed "I heard you, come out!"

I sounded more shaking than I would have liked, as a… velociraptor came into view? He was light brown, with dark earth brown stripes covering his body, his eyes were a sad grey blue, staring at me intently and then eying my weapon. Like he knew it was dangerous, but the strangest thing, was whenever he spoke.

"That's an interesting gun you have there," he had a raspy voice, growling ever so slightly, sounding more like a purr. It didn't sound like it was meant to be sensual, but for some reason, the purr gave me a small lump in my throat. I lowered my phaser, as he continued, "What, in the inferno, are you?" I decided that he wasn't a threat and lowered my phaser, he came closer.

Well that wasn't too surprising, my species wasn't really normal in any of the sectors of the Milky Way Galaxy, heck, I wasn't even sure if my species was from the Milky Way… to give the best description of my fesique; my body looks like a horse that just stood up one day. I have smooth light aqua skin, no nose (it's more of a bump than anything) and my ears were long and pointed, think with dark red insides. My eyes' "whites" are a burnt orange, with light orange irises. My hands, the closes description of them I can give you is really big goat hooves. I have a long lizard tail, with light purple fins at the tip of it, having similar fins on my forearms, spine, and legs, with dark red gills/nostrils on my neck. Top that off with being nearly 7 foot it may surprise you to know that most people think of me cute.

I simply answered him;

"That's not surprising, my question to you is how in the world is a velociraptor talking to me? Did I hit my head harder than I thought?" He rose an eye ridge at me.

"I am a Cybertronian, and you still haven't answered my question," he spoke as if that was help make sense of everything. Still, I decided to tell him.

"I'm a Nephilim, my name's Elisa, by the way," I put out my hand, hoping that he knew what it meant. However, he just stared at it, not knowing what to do, he was only a few feet away from me, I only just realizing he was just as tall as daddy (who, I think, is about 6' 6").

"I call myself Dinobot, and what are you doing with your hand?" I slowly put it down. That's kinda on the nose… I quietly thought.

"Nevermind," with the way he sounded, it was surprising how fluent and pretty he spoke. We stood there for a few moments, long enough for the silence to become awkward, I slowly began to walk away.

"Well, this has been a wonderful conversation, but I need to figure out where I am, and how I'm gonna get home," I turned away from him, before I heard his voice again.

"Hold right there, Nephilim, you're not going anywhere," out civil conversation seemed to suddenly turn dangerous as Dinobot growled. It confused me. I grabbed my phaser again, but didn't pull it out of it's holster.

"What?" I tried to show little fear (even though the sudden jolt of motion startled me). He seemed to notice me jumping, and backed off only slightly, staring at my hand holding the phaser. He sighed and muttered something under his breath.

"It's not safe here, the Predacons like to prey on… innocent victims," there was that purr again.

"Predacons?" I asked, my tail twitching irritably, this guy was as confusing as he was irritating… he turned towards, what I believed, was the north west.

"Listen, Optimus would skin me alive if I left you here," He stretched out his claw to me, "so come with me if you want to live," there was a reference here somewhere, I just know it. I didn't know how to react, but if what he said was true, well, I didn't want to see what would happen if I had stayed. I began to follow him when I suddenly felt my right side begin to hurt, I staggered and looked down to notice purple blood dribble from my arm and leg.

My navy blue uniform was nearly completely ruined, as was the stocking on my right leg. My once pretty and fashionable dress was covered in blood, grime, and dirt. I groaned, trying to cover the holes in my body like I were a leaking balloon. I lumbered slowly after him.

"Don't think I haven't noticed your injuries, Nephilim," He said to me, like he could read my thoughts. "When we get to base, our medic should get you cleaned up, and then Optimus Primal will figure out what to do to you…," Was I being captured by the bad guys? I mean, the way Dinobot acted, and sounded, it was almost like I was going to the wrong side, or was I? Was this all a setup? The sudden thought gave me shivers.

Then, again, why would he help me, don't bad guys not help people in trouble, or do they? In all the stories I had read, the bad guys were evil, through in through, but this was real life… right? They were just stories, after all. Whatever might have happened, I knew that I couldn't just tempt fate and stay outside, for fear of what he said about these "Predacons" he spoke of were right. Heck, I was really not in shape to take on anything at the moment, it would just be stupid.

My vision was starting to get blurry. Oh, please, not now! I felt myself begin to sway when I stumbled, and fell with a small thwump.

Dinobot turned around to see me flat on the ground, clutching my right side. He walked towards me, looking only slightly concerned. "We must keep moving, Nephilim," he yelled out to me, all I could do was whimper, and muster;

"It's Elisa!" I cried, with my adrenaline wearing off, I could feel the full force of what that crash did to me. "I can't move…," I groaned, feeling the warm, wet blood trickle out of my leg and arm, as I saw Dinobot slowly walk towards me, he sighed, while standing doing so.

"Dinobot, Maximize!" he yelled, and that is when I saw him transform.

Dinobot's POV

This female was… interesting to say the least… when I saw her falling from the sky, I couldn't tell if she were friend, or foe. I couldn't even tell where she fell from, there was nothing that she could have. It did not really matter after I stupidly cracked a stick under my foot. She turned with the speed of a cheetah, and with the fierceness of a lion, pointing that strange weapon at me.

Her particular figure was most intriguing, she was obviously not a Cybertronian, but she was not like anything I had ever seen. When she had turned to face me, I could see a fire in her eyes that I had not see in a long time. In her own strange way, she was beautiful. Those bright auburn eyes…

Of course, if I were interested in such nonsense! Romance, and the like, were for the weak, not for a warrior like myself… why are you looking at me like that?

Knowing that Optimus would want me to bring her to safety, I told her to follow me. It was not as if I did not notice her injuries when I decided to talk to her. They were… very obvious, but I also saw that she did not seem to even care about them until we had stopped speaking, and began walking. I heard her begin to drag behind and limp, knowing that her eventual complaining would be a nuisance, I confided in her that she would be healed. However, what I did not anticipate was her collapsing.

I growled, knowing that if we did not keep moving forward, the Predacons might catch us, and I was not in the mood for Primal getting angry at me for leaving an "innocent" behind. The thought of just leaving her there, and not speaking of her again, did cross my mind, however, I knew that that would be… dishonorable. I transformed, and looked down at her.

Her face was one of confusion when looking at me. A small smirk came across my lips as she spoke, her voice quivering, most likely from pain. "I-I didn't know you c-could do that…," she twitched and yelped. How was it something that could look so threatening, could look so small and weak.

"As I said…," I gingerly put my hands under her body, and slowly picked her up, she squeaked. "I'm a Cybertronian, now hold on," I had her by her shoulders and her legs, when I looked down at her again, to make sure I had a good grip, I saw her eyes were wide, and her cheeks were a light purple color. She looked away as quickly as I had looked down. I was genuinely confused.

I decided that I didn't want to know, as I ran as fast as I could. The energon was already starting to mess with my circuits.

When we had gotten to the base, the Nephilim seemed like she was going to power down, or whatever other aliens called it. Sleep? I was not feeling well either when we finally reached the door, it lowered down to allow me on. She was starting to get heavy, the energon must have been taking its' toll. I pressed the button to go up when I saw Optimus, standing over the holographic map. He turned to me, his optics opened wide. It was more than obvious that he was curious about the thing that was in my arms.

"Dinobot! What in the name of the Allspark do you have in your hands?" The female was asleep in my arms, she seemed so peaceful like that. I felt my spark started to hurt, confusion crossed my mind again. I looked up and answered my… leader…

"I found her, falling out of the sky, as it were, and I knew that I couldn't just… leave her there…," he gestured me over to the CR chamber, as I continued "Besides, I knew you would have my hide if I were to just… leave her for the wolves," I gently put her down in said chamber, as I could hear, very clearly, how disappointed Primal was.

"How very admirable of you…,"

"Was that sarcasm, Optimus?" he did not answer me, turning on the machine, he asked;

"I need you to tell me everything, and don't leave out any details," I had to sit down, running with her in my arms really did weaken me. Rubbing my temples, I sighed.

"Fine... I shall tell you what she told me,"

Elisa's POV

I woke up in a cold sweat, and on a hard bed. I had not realized that I had fallen asleep while going to the base, all I remembered was Dinobot transforming and then he... I jolted up, suddenly feeling very flustered, very much awake, scared, and all alone. I looked down at my body, thinking the worst (I was still half asleep, so thinking that… things might have happened), when my torn up clothing was still on my body, I sighed with relief, when I looked around my room.It was bare, boring grey walls that reminded me of the Tippicanoe's brig. The bed wasn't much better either… I rubbed my back and groaned in pain. Pain…

I looked at my side to see that there wasn't even a trace of an injury on me, the only remnants of my scratches were the tears in my clothing. I stared at my arm, twisting it to see if it had a scar or something, but no. I was clean… I heard my door slide open, as a grey robot stepped into the room.

"Ah, you're awake, good," he had a smooth voice, the kind you would hear in old kids' cartoons when listening to the good guy. He walked closer to me, giving a friendly smile, I wanted to be cautious though, trying to subtly slide away from him, where was my phaser? "We were worried that the CR chamber didn't work, you're not exactly the normal patient," I nodded, and tried to give a friendly smile back, I still felt kinda sore, but I relaxed, a little.

"Feels like it worked, thank you," he looked relieved when I said that, then spoke.

"My name is Optimus Primal, I am the Commander of the Maximals. And Dinobot has already told me your name, Elisa, right?" I nodded again, So he could say my name. A small chuckle came from that thought, as said bot came into the room.

"Hey, speak of the devil," I said with a thankful smile. His face didn't change as he came closer to me, looking me over.

"I am glad to see you did not die, it would have been a… true shame," Dinobot said, I smiled. Was he being sarcastic? With the way he spoke, I really couldn't tell. However, that was no reason for me to be rude.

"Thank you, for saving my life, Dinobot. I believe, I'm in your debt," he pulled back from, what I could only assume was, shock, when I said that. He put his hands on his hips, and looked away. Was he… blushing?

"Well… maybe I shall find a way to help you… return the favor someday," he looked back at me for only a moment, before turning on his heels. "I have work to do," was all he said before leaving the room.

As if my life couldn't get any weirder…
