Hey everyone, after going over the original version of Beauty and the Prime, and while I'm keeping it up, I'm redoing it. The story is still the same, but with some editing and redoing. I hope you all enjoy it. Here is the first Chapter.

A long time ago, there lived a prince named Optimus Prime. He was kind and fair and all Cybertronians loved him. However, an evil sorcerer known as the Fallen was jealous of the prime. He cursed the prime and his spark became dark. The kindness in the prince's spark was gone. The prince soon became known as Nemesis Prime. Primus took pity on the prince and told him that if he could make a femme fall in love, he will revert back to Optimus Prime. If not, he will remain as Nemesis Prime. Primus then left him a clock which will stop ticking after three years. It has been two years since then and all seemed lost until now…

Elita one was humming happily as she walked through her small town of Iacon. Everyone was busy working and talking to one another. It was a beautiful day. Elita one smiled as she walked through the door that led to a bookstore. The manager looked up and smiled at his favorite customer.

"Welcome Elita, welcome".

She smiled sweetly and said hello.

"Did you enjoy the book?" Red Alert asked.

"I did Red Alert. It was amazing". She explained as she handed the book to him.

She then reached over to a shelf and grabbed another book.

"I'll borrow this one".

Red Alert looked surprised.

"You've already read it twice".

"But it's my favorite" she protested. Red Alert chuckled.

"Well, if you like it that much it's yours."

Elita squealed with joy as she thanked him. She then payed him for paper and walked out reading the book. Meanwhile in the center of town, a hunter named Megatron was shooting down cyber ducks. Starscream, his sidekick, ran over and picked it up after it had fallen.

"Simply amazing Megatron. Nobody can match up to you".

The smoke from Megatron's arm cannon faded and a voice saying "I know".

Megatron smirked. Because of his reputation as a hunter, many of the femmes in town swooned over him.

"So… who are you going to pick as your mate"? Starscream asked timidly.

Megatron then replied "Elita One".

Elita One was just about to enter into her house when she heard a loud KA-BOOM. She quickly rushed to the basement where her father was and found him coughing out smoke from his latest invention.

"Father? Are you alright?"

She saw the glowing fins coming from her father as he spoke "Yes sweetspark. I'm fine"

The old inventor then brushed off some dust, and then went back underneath the strange machine.

"What are you working on this time"? Elita asked.

"It's a solar powered energon maker. Put your goggles on. I'm going to test it out once more".

As he tested it, energon started to come out of the machine into fancy looking cubes. The inventor smiled behind his mask. The invention worked. Later, Wheeljack then set of with Grindor to a county fair. While they were traveling in the woods, Grindor began to get very nervous. He then panicked, resulting in Wheeljack falling off Grindor. Wheeljack wandered around the forest for a bit before stumbling upon a dark looking castle. He ran up to the door and pounded on it. The door opened, revealing a small looking creature with organic like features. He was muscular and had black hair.

"Ya bellowed?" it asked.

Getting over his shock, Wheeljack kindly asked "Could I please stay here for one night?"

The organic creature then moved aside and ushered him in.

"Names Ironhide" the creature said.

"Thank you Ironhide" Wheeljack whispered.

He was then led to a nice, comfortable room where he was seated on a chair. He was given warm energon by another small organic named Arcee and her little son named Bumblebee. The room suddenly got cold and the fire in the fireplace died down. The organics got frightened when loud footsteps were heard. Feeling uneasy, Wheeljack got up from his chair, turned around and saw a tall black mech with terrifyingly dark red optics. The mech faced the scientist and sauntered towards him.

"WHO ARE YOU!? WHY ARE YOU HERE?!" he demanded in a voice that was colder than ice.

"I…I…I a-aa-apologize" Wheeljack stuttered. "I only wished to stay the night from the terrors of the forest.

The mech just laughed.

"Then you have made a foolish mistake". He grabbed Wheeljack. "To come to my castle".

Wheeljack was screaming as he was dragged away.

Back at the village, Elita was walking around when she ran into Megatron.

"Oh I'm sorry. Please excuse me" she said.

She tried to walk past him. Megatron stopped her by saying

"Please stay Elita. I wish to talk to you about something important".

Elita just stopped and stared. He obviously wasn't going to leave her alone until she heard him out. Megatron then led Elita One to a bar where she felt the glares of other femmes. She sat at a table with Megatron and started feeling a bit nervous.

'Why do I get the feeling that Megatron wants to ask me something stupid?" she thought.

Her suspicions were confirmed when Megatron reached out his hand to touch hers.

"My dear, you the most beautiful femme that have graced my optics."

She just sighed. Elita knew that she was unintentionally beautiful, but still considered strange due to her intelligence. Megatron continued to speak.

"Elita, will you be my mate and spend the rest of your life with me?"

Elita just gave him a blank look.

"Think about it Elita, you and me. We would have everything together".

Elita just removed her hand from his and got up from the table.

"My answer is no Megatron. I refuse to be merely a trophy wife and lose my freedom".

With that said, she left the bar. Starscream just stood in the corner and snickered. No femme had ever rejected Megatron before. From years of experience, Starscream actually felt some pride at Megatron being turned down.

'Serves him right. He needs to get knocked down every once in a while.' He thought.

Megatron however thought differently.

'I will have her…SHE WILL BE MINE!'

Meanwhile, Elita had just gotten back home and sighed. She knew she was beautiful, but cursed herself for it. Often times she had helped her father with his inventions. Wheeljack was the one to encourage her to read and think for herself. Many of the femmes in Iacon could only do, well, the average. She was very much the odd one in town. Elita then brought her thoughts back to Megatron.

"That mech doesn't even know how to take no for an answer".

She grabbed a book and then headed outside to the fields. Elita sat by a rose bush and read her favorite book. It was a romance story about a prince that disguises himself as a peasant to attract a baker's daughter. As she continued to read, Elita then glanced over at the rose bush. One freshly bloomed rose stood out. She smiled and remembered a story that Wheeljack told her.

"Before I met your mother, she plucked a rose and made a wish. She wished that she could find a man that would love her as much as she loved him. A year after that, she and I met. It was the happiest moment in her life. So remember this my daughter, if you make a wish and believe in that wish, it will happen. Always believe".

Elita smiled to herself ash she touched the petals. She closed her eyes and whispered to herself.

"I wish there was someone out there who understood me. Accepted me not for my looks, but for my personality as well. Someone that looked past my body and see my spark. I wish for someone that can accept me for being me. And loved me".

As soon as she finished, Elita heard the familiar hoof steps of Grindor. She got up, but when she saw Grindor, there were no signs of her father. Elita grabbed the reigns and calmed him down.

"Grindor, where is father?"

He just simply neighed. Elita then rushed back to the house and grabbed her cloak and filled up a bag with supplies. She then proceeded to run back to Grindor and climbed on him.

"Let's go find him Grindor."

After some time, they stumbled upon a castle. Elita just stared at it in awe. As dark as it was, there was an element of beauty to it. She got off Grindor and tied him to a pole. She then proceeded to go into the castle.

'Inside is just as beautiful as it is on the outside. Minus the dust'. She thought.

Meanwhile, Bumblebee then ran to his mother who was cleaning up dishes.

"Mamma, there's a femme in the castle!"

"Bumblebee! Don't say things like that. Or you'll be assisting in Ratchet's chores for a month".

Said doctor mech turned organic also burst in the room.

"There's most definitely a femme here".

Arcee's jaw dropped and Bumblebee smirked behind her.

Elita was trying so hard to find her father, but the narrow stair ways made it very difficult. Ironhide was secretly guiding her to find Wheeljack. After some time, Ironhide hid behind a corner. Elita stumbled on a jail room. On the right side, she heard bad coughing.

"Father!"

She ran to the cell and found him huddled in a corner, freezing. When he heard his daughter's voice though, he lifted his head up. The moment he saw her, Wheeljack ran to the door and grabbed her hands.

"Elita! How did you… Never mind. You need to leave. Now!"

She shook her head.

"I won't leave you!"

"NEITHER OF YOU ARE GOING ANYWHERE!"

The light went out and any type of light was moonlight shining through cracks. Elita turned and faced where the voice was coming from.

"Who's there?" She said.

She knew she was scared, but she had to be brave.

"I am the master of this castle and all those who live here. Your father trespassed on my domain and can never leave".

"Why? Can't you see he's sick? He has to go!"

Elita heard footsteps come towards her while her father kept telling her to leave and to not worry. In the shadows, Elita could make out cold red optics that terrified her to the core. The footsteps stopped.

"Unless you have something in mind" the being said with a voice colder than ice "He will remain here in my dungeon forever".

Elita thought for a moment. Only one thing came to mind. It was the only option she had. She looked back at her father, then to the red optics.

"How about a deal then?"

Wheeljack protested, but the stranger seemed interested.

"Go on".

"If I stay here with you, become your prisoner willingly, you have to let my father go".

Nothing was said for a short time. The cold voice came back.

"You must stay here forever, if that's the case. If you don't then I will hunt both of you down and kill you."

Elita shivered. She knew the risk, she knew the consequences, but her father would be free.

"Well?" he asked impatiently.

"Before I sign my life away, com into the light".

The being was silent.

"I want to know who my jailer is".

The being chuckled. The red optics came into the moonlight, attached to them was a black body. He looked like a normal mech, but his appearance was terrifying. He looked like he was ready to kill anything or anyone. Elita looked terrified.

"Elita please! I've lived my life, don't give up yours".

It was too late though, she had made her decision.

"I agree to your terms."

Despite him wearing a mask, she could practically see him smiling as he walked past her to unlock the door.

"Done".
