This is AriaChronos, and boy it's good to be back. For those who knew me, I wrote TFP story long time ago. At that time I was a newbie at fanfiction, so I messed up pretty bad. At that time I felt like my story was perfect, but when I revisited it, I didn't feel good whatsoever. Which is why I stopped mid-track and questioned the meaning of life. Still, my love for Transformers Prime and my OC remains as much. After so many time considering, I've decided to reboot it.

So this is a reboot from my previous stories. I do hope I did a slightly better job this time. Reviews are much appreciated.

Three years ago...

White light from single light bulb above greeted her as she opened her eyes. The human girl blinked several times to adjust her vision. Sweeping her long black hair from her face, the girl slowly raised her body up. As her sight got clearer, she discovered herself in a small room. A cot underneath her was the only furniture in there. And, she wasn't alone.

"Oh, you awake?"

The girl yelped in surprise. The one called her was a talking robot in blue metallic body. The female voice suggesting it was a she. The human girl scrambled backward to get away from the mechanical creature.

"Hey, it's okay. I'm not going to hurt you," the robot reassured.

Consciousness restored, confusion set in. The human girl looked at her surrounding with no idea how she got there.

"Who are you...? Where is this? What happened to me?" she stuttered in brink of panic attack.

"Calm down please, or you're going to fry your circuits," the robot girl said, "Let's start slowly. My name is Arianna. What is your name?"

The human girl wrecked her brain for an answer. But she came up empty, which confused her even more, "...I don't know. I don't remember my name, or who I am. Why can't I remember?"

"You can't remember? Something wrong with your memory core?" asked Arianna, "That's so bad. Unfortunately I don't know why either. They just came and put you in here. They didn't say anything about who you were."

"Who are they?"

"I don't know. Just some humans, like you, but much taller and dressed in white garment. They said something about 'limited space', which is why they put you with me. Sorry I can't provide with much information."

Not knowing was so frustrating. The human girl sighed in defeat, then decided to ask,

"What are you? A talking robot? Did those humans in white garment made you?"

"No, I'm not created by humans. I'm an Autobot," replied Arianna, "I'm not from this planet. I came from Cybertron. It is, well, a planet far away from here basically."

"So...you're from outer space? An alien robot?"

"Yes. You said you lost your memory, but you catch up fast."

The girl pondered for a moment, "...I still can't remember my name for some reason. So, how you ended up here?"

"Long story. My home planet is in middle of war, between us Autobots and Decepticons. I was with other younglings at refugee site, when we got attacked by the enemies. Apparently, they came for me. They kidnapped me and brought me to their warship. I had no idea how long I spent in there. The ship finally landed here, on this planet."

"You're saying an alien ship landed on Earth?" asked the human girl in disbelief.

"I believe so. For what purpose, I didn't know. But I knew I had to run away. After a long time waiting for a chance, I finally found a slip and ran away. Not long after that I was caught again, this time by the natives," said Arianna, "I believe I've spent roughly twenty night cycles in this place."

"Why did the enemy kidnap you?"

"I think it's because I'm the daughter of the Autobot leader. His name is Optimus Prime. I think Megatron, the leader of the Decepticons, wanted to hold me hostage to win the war. I wasn't going to let him do that."

The human girl took some time to process all the information she just heard. It was kind of absurd, but she knew the robot told the truth. She hesitated to ask the next question.

"...What did those people do to you, in here?"

Arianna closed her eyes, "They studied me."

She showed parts of her armour covering that were cut away. The human girl gasped at that sight.

"...Did that hurt?"

"A bit, not so much," replied Arianna.

"...You're made of metal. Why didn't you fight back?"

"Because I can't," Arianna replied in dry tone, "Initially all younglings my age were already being initiated as trainees for the Autobot force. I went to register myself in the training camp as well, but it soon became clear that I wasn't made for fighting. First off, I'm smaller than all younglings my age. I messed up big time during the test. I was scared of hitting things. So I was kicked out in day one."

"Even though you should be hitting something now?"

Arianna paused for a moment, "I can't bring myself to harm the humans. They're just curious. Can't blame them. And this pain is nothing compared to what my father experienced on daily basis..." Arianna said as she curled up her knees, "If only I wasn't this weak, I should've been in the military, training to be a soldier. That way I could help my father. At the very least, not getting kidnapped like this."

Hearing the Autobot femme talking about her family didn't ease the human girl's mind at all. She had absolutely no idea who she was, or if there was someone out there looking for her.

"...You still can't remember your name?" asked Arianna.

The human girl shook her head.

"It's inconvenient for you not having a name. Let's see, what should I call you?" Arianna crossed her arms and thought hard, "...Can I call you Aria?"

"What?"

"I'm bad at naming things. So I just used a part of my name..." drawled Arianna innocently, "...You don't like it?"

The human girl thought for a second, "It's better than nothing, though."

Arianna smiled, "Alright, from now on I'll call you Aria. It's nice to finally have someone else in here."

The door of the small room suddenly opened, interrupting the two girls' conversation. It was a man dressed in white coat carrying a tray of sandwich and drinking water. The man set the tray down on the floor.

"Eat up, and be quick, because we're going to do a test."

I really hope you enjoy this first episode. Review please :D
