Ocean Tides
Transformers Prime fan-fiction
Full Summary
Oriel had been one of the most beautiful maidens of her home in ancient Athens. However it all changed when Shockwave attacked taking the feisty maiden as an experiment. It changed her life forever. Now trapped beneath the ocean without contact with humans for over a thousand years what happens when a certain red and blue metal titan falls on her?
Chapter 1
Ancient Athens 456 BC
"Run Oriel! RUN!" Her mother yelled to her as they ran through the burning streets of upper class Athens together the buildings around them burning to the ground.
Oriel's long brown hair had since been unwrapped from its binding atop her head and stuck to her face from the sweat caused by the raging fires around them. Her bright green eyes constantly looking for the purple metal titan with the one blood red eye. The Cyclops had landed in the city's centre and had let lose fiery bolts from its arm.
That had been two hours ago and the sun had since set leaving the only things lighting the town being the burning husks of people's homes.
The soldiers were all dead and most of the city and its populace was already burning to ashes.
Clasped in the young girl's arms was a baby. Not even a month old and crying loud enough to be heard over the ragging inferno. The baby girl wasn't her mothers and certainly not hers she had found the ash caked baby being clung to by a dead woman her half melted body curled around the baby.
"Finally a worthy test subject." The monotone voice said from directly above Oriel she glanced up only to scream as the clawed hand of the Cyclops wrapped around her and the baby roughly. She heard her mother scream at the red eyed monster to put her down but it fell on deaf ears.
"Release me you brute!" Oriel yelled before being very unladylike and spitting in his one eye. The Cyclops growled at her.
"You're feisty and willing to live and protect the sparkling. You may just survive the transformation." Before she could even make a remark they were gone through a swirling green and blue vortex.
"ORIEL!" Her mother yelled only to scream as a flaming timber fell on top of the woman killing her instantly.
Spaceship high in the atmosphere.
"Release me you metal brute!" Oriel yelled once again trying her hardest to get free while the one red eyed mech looked down at her clutched in her servo wriggling and trying to get to freedom. She was persistent brave and willing to resist him when all odds were against her. In other words this organic creature was highly illogical.
The red eyed monster carried her through the metal ship as she struggled on, one arm wrapped protectively around the baby girl who herself was wrapped in a grey dirty cloth.
After a few minutes he reached his lab and unceremoniously dropped Oriel onto the cold and unforgiving surface. She would have a bruise there she just knew it.
However when the giant metal monster picked up a large tool which had a blade looking like a saw bent into a circle on top before walking over to her and the baby. Oriel knew that a bruised behind was to be the least of her problems. But being an Athenian did not come without its perks. Such as the fact she would not grace this being with the screams she had never before made when in pain.
"What do you want with me!?" Oriel demanded holding the baby closer and hunching her shoulders up in a sign she would not be co-operative.
"You will be my next test subject in my experiment to help Lord Megatron create an army of Cybertronians to finally defeat the Autobots. I have already failed in my calculations multiple times each brining a slow and painful end to the test subject." At this he stepped out of the way of one of the walls and Oriel had to gasp in horror. Humans and animals all of than dead and frozen in place inside see-through vases too small for the body forcing those insides body's to bend to fit. Their bodies almost look like they've been torn apart from the inside large almost tentacle like arms bursting from all over the body, metal plates also decorated the body looking like out of control growths. Each face trapped in a silenced scream.
"All failures. But I have since perfected the formula and the two of you will be next. Prepare yourselves. I ran out of pain relief for you species on the second experiment." Oriel could now only shake as the large saw began to spin on its own coming closer and closer to her and the baby. She wasn't shaking in her own fear but in her anger that she could not protect the child from the fate about to come.
"I'm sorry little one." Oriel whispered to the terrified baby as they both watched their fates drew near.
After the surgery
The red eyed monster took a step back from his work once he had finished. They were built with underwater combat in mind. The older girl he had turned into a beautiful but no doubt lethal femme. Her legs had been replaced by a long tail one at two times longer than the rest of her now Cybertronain frame. She was just a bit larger than the mech himself. Her chestplates were left uncovered as the mech saw no need for decency in a creature built for war, her spark was still covered though. Who knew? Her bare chestplates may make a distraction long enough for her to offline a few Autobots.
Her back strut had been given a large fin which arched out of her backstrut like some fish do looking like that of a sword fish but more curved. Venom poured slowly from each of the needle sharp tips which held the semi-see-through membrane in place, her digits also held the webbing between them as well as just before her arms joints once again bearing the venom producing fins. Her helm was uncovered and instead showed black as night cables which when in water would flow around her, each holding sensor nodes like a Praxians doorwings able to pick up the slightest movement. Her tail itself was a master piece the smooth metal was designed to be smoother then Energon to give no resistance to the water while also being strong and water tight to prevent water from damaging the circuitry inside.
The baby he decided shouldn't be the same but instead based her entirely on one of the planet bellows most dangerous creatures. The Orca a black and white water born mammal and one of the most successful predators he had seen on the planet below.
The red eyed monster was certainly pleased with his work as he waited for the experiment to finish. They now floated in the salty brine he had collected. If the older was not in the water she would offline and the sparkling was trapped in much the same fate. All he had to do was flip the switch beside the tank to jumpstart their sparks.
However the process had not been as successful as he had hoped. The process had just after completion been too much.
He had first had to remove all the skin from the two humans while revelling in the screams of agony from the baby, however no matter what he had done the older femme refused to scream and just glare hate at him with a glare which could scare the unmaker himself. Then he had left them to become reacclimatized without their protective layer their muscles and blood vessels pressed and pulsing around them. Then once ready he had slowly injected the formula into their sensitive hearts right through the mass of their body's once again making the baby scream. This time though the scream from the baby had torn their own vocal processors making it impossible to do anything but scream in silence. Something he preferred the screams may have been entertaining but it was distracting.
The formula had then taken the necessary twelve groons to completely rebuild their bodies into their far superior Cybertronian frames.
It had all been perfect until both their sparks had given out.
The sparkling had gone first and followed shortly after by the femme youngling after her body had violently convulsed, so hard it had snapped her backstrut in two, right into her spark, shattering the mechs hard work.
Sighing at the failure he commanded the crane arm on the wall to pick up the tank holding the two offline shells and take them to where he would dispose of them.
That was why he now stood atop his ship looking down at the organic planet in distain.
Without any remorse he picked up the two femme's, the older one still clung to the younger somehow. The red opticed mech guessed it had to do something along the lines with the fact she was old enough to create herself technically and so even in offlining she held the sparkling close.
"Pathetic and I thought I had gotten the formula right. Oh well science marches on." And without any remorse he chucked the two offline frames off his ship and into the atmosphere below. Not knowing of the one waiting for the two to reach her domain so she may give what he could not.
The Mediterranean
Aerith was not pleased. The ancient spirit was for lack of better words pissed off. Her mothering instincts had kicked in the moment Shockwave had attacked Athens. She may of lost contact with her human children but when he took the young Oriel and Marial she was ready to burst from her own shell meant to protect her and destroy the mech with her blazing fury.
Oriel had been worthy of becoming her herald. She had been giving the child her strength and ferocity since the day she was born and Aerith saw the spark of potential within her. If the girl had made it to the harbour Aerith could've saved her and the child. But Shockwave had found her and the baby and it made her blood boil.
That is if she had blood anymore. She had long since left her physical form and attached her conscious with the oceans of the young planet. Not wanting to be part of her brothers fight over the planet the three had made together only for one of her brothers to turn against her and the other brother.
However soon after he had taken them, she had felt the two's new sparks offline, before she could even collect the strength needed to save them. She hadn't made it in time. Shockwave had offlined them. The two she had planned to take in as her own children. At least by some stroke of luck he had made them for the water. However she loathed what they had been rebuilt to do.
When she saw him 'return' their offline frames to her however she instantly sent out the signal for some of her whales to collect the two. Not an hour later where the offline frames of who she had hoped to be her children were brought to the ocean cave she had made her home.
The shining white crystal which was her solid essence shone in the cave lighting it and the crystal walls up with an ethereal glow. When the pod of whales let the now grey frames float to the bottom a tendril of energy slipped out of the crystals hard outer shell from the softer insides which was Aerith's spark. The tendril wrapped around both of the frames Oriel still clinging to young Marial even if the baby now looked like an Orca calf.
"Live my herald…my daughters." She commanded in a soft and caring voice which flowed into the shattered glass like remains of both frames sparks. Almost instantly the sparks began to repair.
Without the changes Shockwave had made while also changing her children so they were now longer built for war but to lead.
Oriel's colouration, one Aerith hated with a vengeance went from blood red to deep royal blue and silver, while Aerith also gave her child decency attaching the same royal blue metal plates over her chestplates making it look like a short sleeved top which only went to just below her chestplates to prevent excess weight.
The sail which ran down her back had the toxic tips removed and replaced with smooth ends while the webbing went from black to bright silver as well as the tail itself gaining silver spots running in pairs along her backstrut and down to the tips of her tail which was based off a dolphins instead of a shark like it used to be. Her sharp dentas were removed and replaced with only four sharp canines while the rest were left blunt, her helm was left bare except for the cables which now flowed happily around changed from pitch black to a warm sky blue.
Finally she changed the ghastly red optics for pure silver ones.
Oriel no longer existed this was her daughter and herald from now on known off as Oce, being of the waves and ocean tides.
Marial was easier only having to remove the red optics and replace them with the same pure silver as Oce. Shockwave had seemingly believed her predatory nature (which she happily removed) would be enough for the calf.
The final piece she removed from both was the purple symbol branded onto Oce's shoulder plating and Marial's left pectoral flipper.
In their places was the mark of the Primes.
Marial no longer existed either now before her floated her other daughter Marina.
"Wake my children Oce and Marina." Aerith cooed as their optics onlined and the two found themselves in a world of water facing what was likely to be one of the most angelic faces they had ever seen.
"Oh my Gods." Oce said shying back slightly while Marina tried to get closer only for Oce to unconsciously grab the younger's body and pull it back beneath her.
"No Oce those God's the mortal man created are not real but I Aerith spirit of the ocean and creator of all life on this planet am. I brought you back after 'he' returned you to earth believing you offline but now I have brought you back my children." Oce actually smiled at that.
"Thank you Aerith but by the fact I am breathing underwater and I've suddenly grown a tail in place of my legs something tells me both me and Marina have a lot to work on." Oce said smiling while Marina trilled before floating upside down and waggling her flippers happily at her new sibling.
Aerith just smiled at the two, she would loathe Shockwave to the day he offlined and went to the pits and forever after but now she was glad to see her new daughters so accepting of their new lives. Marina was none the wiser but Oce had accepted it without hesitation. There was so much to teach her.
And there it is! So I should make this clear this is not a little mermaid spoof this is completely different. Understood? Good. Thanks for reading and please rate and review if you can. Thanks all of you!
