Chapter 1: Science Experiment

"What is she?" asked a Scientist as Blackmoon realized that she could not move. "Very good question my friend. Let's eat lunch first though, and then we shall…dissect her to see what she is." another Scientist said as they left the room. 'What did the mean by that? What do they plan to do to me even?' thought Blackmoon as she tried to escape but to no avail. About two hours later, the men came back and begun their procedure. Blackmoon was in very deep agony as the knife cut into her left side deeply. "Very strange, she has normal human blood but her eyes are that of a cat and another animal. Perhaps she is a mutant animal." a Scientist spoke as he took some blood samples.

"Release me at once! Your killing me!" Blackmoon shouted unknowingly in her language, which humans do not understand. "This thing just roared, like a dragon! I want it DEAD!" the lead Scientist yelled as the others tried to calm Blackmoon down but it was not working. As soon as she heard the order to "kill her", she freaked out so much that the youngest one in the room called for Military back up. Then to her horror, a man had injected her with something…deadly. "Now, we must get rid of this thing quickly!" a Scientist declared as the others grabbed Blackmoon's body and tossed it down the hill.

'Why are they doing this to me?! I just want to go home.' thought Blackmoon as she struggled to survive. But what the Scientist did not know was that because she is a dragon, Blackmoon can live a lot longer than a mere human could with Botulinum—it is so powerful that it has been estimated that 1 teaspoon of the poison has the potential to kill 1.2 billion people. The classic symptoms of botulism include double vision, blurred vision, drooping eyelids, slurred speech, difficulty swallowing, dry mouth, and muscle weakness. When the diaphragm and chest muscles are exposed with this compound, respiration is inhibited and unless the patient receives treatment in time, death from asphyxia results. How much time until she dies though is anywhere between four days to one week.

About three hours later she came upon a lake and decided to sleep there tonight. Meanwhile though, Ratchet saw something on his radar and went to check it out. What he saw horrified him: a young girl shivering by a cold lake. 'I wish that Jack, Miko, or Raf was here so that I could find out who she is.' thought Ratchet as he saw a young man come up to the girl. "Hey…hey it's alright I won't hurt you. I saw you come from that building over there—a bunch a Scientists live there. Why are you bleeding? Oh, no! You were experimented on, weren't you?" the man spoke as Blackmoon nodded at him. Ratchet was appalled at hearing the information, he thought it was best to sound his alarms.

"Hey, you're in luck, an Ambulance just pulled up. Let me help you get there." the man said as he helped out Blackmoon. "Can you understand me?" she asked weakly as the man almost dropped her at her voice/ growl. "That is kind of creepy. What are you, a dragon?" asked the man as she nodded again at him. I t all made sense to the man now: she was experimented on because she was not really a human at all but a dragon! "I'm so sorry about all of this. You really are beautiful—even though you need some clothing of course." the man said as Blackmoon gave him a puzzled look on her face. "Clothing, it's this." He continued to say pointing and pulling on his shirt.

When they got to Ratchet the man ran off, the Scientists were coming to see her dead body—he wanted to lure them away while she got to safety. About six hours later, Ratchet arrived at a hospital and Blackmoon had learned how to talk like a human, in fact her name has been changed to Dracen instead of Blackmoon—to blend in with everyone else. "Oh my! We need to get her some medical attention ASAP! She's been poisoned!" a Doctor shouted as he took her hand to comfort her. Just then Special Agent Fowler came into the room—not noticing Ratchet when he came in. "Special Agent Fowler, I got a report by some Scientists that this "girl" is some sort of mutant." Fowler said as the Doctor was enraged about what he said. "If you don't mind Fowler I must see to her, she's been poisoned and is very close to death as I speak!" the Doctor huffed as he took Dracen to another room.

"I'm sorry, but the Scientists said that she roared like a dragon or something." Fowler stated as he felt really awful about all of this. Fowler not only had to deal with the Autobots being split for their own safety—and their human friends too—but now this situation as well. Then Dracen tried to talk. "The Scientists are right though, I am a Dragon. The last thing I remember though my mother wanted to talk to me about something, and then she turned me human. And humans are killed or banished on sight where I come from. So I was banished here." Dracen explained as everyone looked at her with shock and a bit of horror at her. "So it's true then, you are some unknown animal." Fowler spoke as he heard her growl at him.

"Well either way, I must attend to her." the Doctor said as he gave the antidote to Dracen. As Fowler was leaving, he saw a very familiar Ambulance. "Ratchet, is that you?" asked Fowler as Ratchet spoke up. "Special Agent Fowler it's good to see you. Did Optimus make it out alright?" Ratchet asked as Fowler shrugged, meaning he did not know. Ratchet felt really bad to leave Optimus behind like that, but he did understand the reason why though: split up in order to avoid capture by the Decepticons. "Why are you here though Fowler?" asked Ratchet as Fowler was looking up toward Dracen's room. "I came because I got a call from the Scientists nearby about a "mutant girl". But really it was just an innocent person." Fowler stated as Ratchet understood who he meant by that.

The next day was a lot better for Dracen, a human man named Josh—who understood what she really was and is willing to help her—was planning to take her out and explore the state of Oregon. "So how are you today Dracen?" Josh asked as he looked at her with a smile. "I'm alright, just a little bit scared that all." Dracen replied as they went to a nearby mall to shop for some clothing for her. About five hours later they emerged from the mall with a ton of cloths for her, now they need to find a restaurant and eat but Dracen could only eat meat though—since she is a partial dragon still. So they found a wonderful restaurant to eat at.
