Chapter 1-A Whole New World
"Ow."
It was the only word to describe the pain of crashing into at terminal velocity without dying. She slowly cracks her eyes open to see a starry sky with no moon, she sits albeit slowly and notes the impact crater she currently is laying in.
Then she notes her new appearance.
No longer human but Cybertronian as she just briefly learned, she was of a seeker build similar to Starscream's, but feminine, obviously. Her color scheme was white with gold accents, she had very little armor making her light-weight and hanging from her shoulders and hips was a flexible metal made of scales that acted like a dress that was open on the front and open sleeves.
On her back she had her seeker wings that were painted gold and white to mimic wings. On her helm were two identical headphones on the side of her helm with metallic feathers sticking out and back with as well a gold one piece crown connecting the pair with red gems poking out the top.
Her burning red optics took in her new form, her delicate yet deadly sharp servos carefully patting herself down.
"I never want to do that again…" Her voice was soft and delicate, she stood to her heeled peds, shaky, before standing upright.
It took several tries to get out of the impact crater before she finally rolled on past the rim. She sat up straight away, pain emanating from her new wings.
"Sensitive…."
She looked around herself to see a sparse landscape of sandstone rock and brush. It seemed she landed in the middle of desert, she didn't know where until something called a HUD lit her optics telling her location and status as well as a few other details.

Seeing no sign of life around her, she began the trek towards civilization or something. She knew her mission, that which was given to her by Primus. Her thoughts deepened, become unaware of her surroundings.
Her mission was clear; rewrite the timeline, bring peace sooner and through diplomacy, not death. Redeem the Sparks of the Decepticons, show them the error of their ways.
She didn't hear the screaming jets approaching.
As well, she needed a new identity. Minnie Harbor and Minibeat were gone now, replaced and rebuilt, but what name would suit her? Something that still reminded herself of her old life as a way to never forget her roots.
The sound of transforming alerted her too late as copies of purple Cybertronians landed in a circle surrounding her, blaster trained on her. After them three other Cybertronians landed, different from the rest.
One was a large silver and purple mech, with a canon on his arm, the second one was a seeker like her but a mech with silver and red paint and the finally one was completely faceless with purple and black paint.
"A femme seeker?! Here?!" The other seeker exclaimed, the larger one spoke.
"Who are you? Where do your loyalties lie?" She shook slightly, he was intimidating and his rough words made it no easier to answer.
"I-I..um..Minuet, sir, and I have l-loyalties to no o-one." Her voice was small and quiet but the words still got to the sensitive audios of the other cybertronians.
"Minuet, hm? I am Lord Megatron, Leader of the Decepticons. This is Starscream my second in command and Soundwave, my third." He motioned to both, she gave them quick glances, still focused on Megatron.
"My lord, if Minuet has no loyalty to the Autobots, perhaps she may join us?" That earned a glare and growl from the Warlord.
"As Starscream put it, would you like to join us?" She knew she couldn't say no, so she nodded her helm, her voice mostly gone by this point and her shivering increasing.
Seeing her submissive nature pleased the Warlord, she would make a good soldier, now all he had to do was keep her away from his other seeker so as to not have two after his title.
