Hello Readers new chapter. Hope my fellow college writers are having a good school year and I wish them luck. Can't really talk much without any spoilers...but I will say Pacific Rim is coming to DVD October 15th.

I do not own Transformers Prime as the show is owned by Hasbro.

I do now own Pacific Rim as the movie is Directed by Guillermo del Toro and owned by Warner Brothers and Legendary Pictures.

Ch. 4: Deep Sea Discovery

"SHE DID WHAT!?" Ratchet screamed into the monitor. Megatron flinched at the medics tone and Optimus was grateful that Megatron didn't see him flinch either.

"Elisa is here on the warship and she has requested that we work together on this…kaiju problem that we have." Megatron repeated calmly. Ratchet gritted his denta and Optimus thought he was ready to smash the monitor by the way he reacting. When they had awoke this morning they had panicked when Elisa was nowhere to be found, but it wasn't long before Megatron had actually called them and explained what had happened. Apparently, she had come to the Nemesis overnight and suggested that Shockwave and Ratchet work together on a scientific study of the Kaiju as they had the better lab equipment after all.

What Optimus didn't like is that Elisa had stayed on the warship that night.

He would confront Megatron if necessary if he thought anything was out of place with Elisa, but he wouldn't press the matter just yet. The others were just as concerned as Optimus and Ratchet were, but they just looked at the screen with more confusion at the moment than anything else. Megatron finally spoke again after a short silence. "Do you accept the proposal or not because I might reconsider letting Elisa go…she did trespass after all." Megatron teased. While Optimus knew that Megatron was truly joking Ratchet wasn't taking any chances.

"Fine, of course we'll collaborate." Ratchet snapped. He left the monitor huffing and puffing as he walked around the room trying to get rid of his anger. Optimus knew that Megatron would let Elisa go. He knew that for some reason they had developed a deep fascination for each other, but he desperately hoped that it wasn't love. He caught on early that Megatron cared for Elisa and he thought that it was because she reminded him of their own past on Cybertron, between Megatronous and Orion.

"Contact me again when you decided when to board." Megatron stated before the line went dead.

"Why in the Pits of Kaon did she do that?!" Ratchet snapped into the air.

"She just wants to help you Ratchet." Smokescreen said first, making the others look at him. "What?" He said holding his servos in the air. "She wants her Carrier to be able to get the job done, since we don't have enough equipment here." He explained quickly. Ratchet groaned in frustration and rubbed his optics before he glared at Optimus.

"She gets it from you." He snapped, making Optimus smile slightly. "Always caring for others." Ratchet huffed throwing his servos up in the air.

"I think you and I should only go to the Nemesis Ratchet." Optimus suggested kindly.

"Sir, what if the decepticons retaliate?" Ultra Magnus spoke with concern.

"If Elisa negotiated with Megatron then we will already be safe. He can't risk her attacking them." Optimus stated.

"But the Predacon is still there." Magnus added. If Optimus knew Megatron than he knew that he would protect her against the much larger dragon.

"As I have said before Megatron will try to avoid a conflict as much as possible." Optimus said strongly.

When the link went dead Megatron let out a tense sigh. Primus he had forgotten how protective creators were. He frowned when he heard a snicker from Starscream, but his glare sent the seeker packing. The bridge opened and Predaking strolled up to his master.

"Predaking the autobots will arrive soon. There is to be no confrontation with them what so ever is that understood?" Megatron said firmly looking right at the beast in the optics.

"Of course Master." He answered with a small bow. The door opened again and Elisa entered and had to pause at the sight of Predaking.

"Or else you will have to answer to her." Megatron added quietly. He only nodded as Elisa cautiously walked over to them. "Your Carrier was not pleased." Megatron stated making Elisa look at him.

"Oh no." She mumbled burying her face in her hands and shaking her head. "I guess I should go back to base or they'll kill me." She groaned.

"That won't be necessary. They will be here soon." Megatron said with a little smirk. She was tempted to stick her tongue out at him, but she didn't want Predaking to catch on to her playful nature.

"No fighting." She stated firmly.

"I hadn't planned on it."

"Thank you." She said politely.

"Where is your armor?" Predaking suddenly asked making Elisa blink at him in surprise.

"I…I don't have any." She quickly answered.

"You are no predacon." He said almost darkly.

"No, of course not, I'm just a dragon. I'm organic unlike everyone else, as they are techno-organic." Elisa said calmly trying to explain it to him. He tilted his head curiously at her. "I wasn't born with any armor. It's just how it is I guess." Elisa said with a shrug.

"So what exactly are those things that we saw my Lord?" Predaking asked changing the subject. When Megatron started talking Elisa quickly left and headed back towards the open deck. When she got to it she took a running start before she leaped into the air and flew off towards the Pacific Ocean. When she was gone Soundwave came up to Megatron.

"What is it?" He asked, but looked around the room and saw no Elisa. Soundwave pulled up the video onto her screen. "Oh frag." He muttered. "Follow her Predaking, but don't let her see you, she gets very protective that way." Megatron ordered and he left without another word. Another ping sounded and it was the Autobots.

"Oh dear Primus this girl is going to be the death of me!"

When she saw the San Francisco coast line still covered with the dead Kaiju she headed out to sea. When she couldn't see the coast line she dived right into the water. When she was a few feet under she let out a little roar of protest as the water was so cold. She dived down further and further until she could finally see the ocean floor. She used her wings to give her more distance as she swam. She stopped when she got an area that wasn't supposed to be lit up.

The placed was just filled with blue light and it seemed to cover miles and miles of ocean floor. Elisa let out a small gasp at what she saw. It looked as if there were giant statues, but Elisa knew what they were instantly. There seemed to be dozens of Kaiju everywhere and they all looked bigger and bigger as Elisa kept swimming. They all seemed to be dormant and unresponsive, but Elisa used caution.

But she froze when she started to hear something crack.

"That girl is going to be the death of me." Ratchet huffed at Optimus as he was lead into Shockwave's laboratory.

"Elisa seems to convinced that these Kaiju are somewhere on earth." Shockwave spoke up once they entered.

"Well I hope that thing was the only one." Ratchet said annoyed.

"Do you have a tissue sample?" Shockwave asked calmly. Ratchet took off his medical kit and pulled out the samples he had collected with Optimus before the humans shut everything down. He handed it to Shockwave who scanned it. "It would be curious to see the results if we had sample from another specimen." Shockwave said out loud. Ratchet frowned but kept quiet as the scan started to reveal the microscopic results.

"By the Allspark." Ratchet gasped before he looked over at Megatron and Optimus. "It's mutating even as we speak." Ratchet said pointing to a video that showed microscopic tissue.

"What does that mean exactly?" Megatron asked looking at the footage.

"We cannot exactly pinpoint what the creature is." Shockwave answered.

"It doesn't have any DNA or CNA of any type." Ratchet added.

"How is that possible?" Megatron asked confused.

"Several theories come to mind." Ratchet commented, but Shockwave said it for him.

"The Kaiju samples could mean the specimen is far too old for any type of records of any kind, even before the evidence of predacons. It could mean that they did not come from this planet or Cybertron, logically, and might be from a planet we do not know all together." Shockwave said.

"An entirely different planet?" Optimus spoke up finally.

"Optimus we could explore space for as long as Megatron has been alive and double that and we still couldn't map the entire universe. There are billions upon billions of undiscovered planets out there and we would still have billions more to find once the others were charted." Ratchet said in almost teacher mode.

"I haven't lived that long." Megatron teased, trying to get a reaction out of the medic.

"Keep dreaming." Ratchet said with sarcasm then instantly grumbled as he had been caught making Megatron smirk.

"The blue liquid has no effect on us am I correct Ratchet?" Shockwave asked.

"Yes, no reaction of any kind to touch. I wouldn't even think about any type of injection of any kind." Ratchet answered.

"Quiet logical." Shockwave stated. "Is it harmful to human water?" He asked.

"No toxic levels I found. It just floats to the top like oil would, but obviously without the environmental effects." Ratchet answered.

"Lord Megatron!"

The autobots tensed when Predaking came over the com link.

"What is it Predaking?" Megatron answered.

"Elisa has found something disturbing it seems like and I see something very large starting to move." Predaking stated.

"Transmit your coordinates and we will arrive shortly." Megatron ordered.

The cracks seemed to get louder and louder as Elisa moved to a safe distance and stayed put. The cracks sounded like thunder in the water as Elisa covered her head as debris was falling on her. She didn't dare move as a loud roar sounded in the water before the Kaiju stated to move. When she finally looked up the creature was swimming and heading in the direction Elisa came from. Elisa swam as fast as she could to the surface and nearly flew right into the predacon.

"Sorry." She gasped.

"What happened?" He asked.

"It looks like a Kaiju woke up. It's headed for land." She answered.

"I've already contacted Lord Megatron." He explained.

"It doesn't matter this one is bigger and it looks deadlier too." She said before she dived back towards the water. "Go find the warship and guide it here…please." She added quickly. He only nodded before he started to fly as well.

Sire! Carrier! Elisa called out through the bond.

Right here. They both answered.

The monster is bigger than the first one and it's headed for land.

We're on our way. Ratchet answered.

Make sure the warship is high enough I really don't know how big it is on two feet.

Understood be careful Elisa. Optimus answered. Ultra Magnus had been give the coordinates and the rest of Team Prime was already on the way. They started to do sonar scans the Kaiju was soon spotted.

"Three hundred fifteen feet." Megatron stated.

"The other one didn't seem much bigger." Ratchet said cautiously.

"It doesn't matter. It's a Kaiju, it's dangerous." Megatron nearly snapped. "Predaking where is Elisa?" He called out.

"She went back into the water." He answered.

"What? Get her back up now. She doesn't know what kind of power it has." Megatron ordered. He was about to dive into the water, but the Kaiju burst out and roared into the air. Starscream let out a gasp that everyone was holding as the Kaiju roared into the dark sky. It had a sharp pointed head with a bright blue mouth and eyes and had yellow stripes on it. It had two large arms with two smaller arms more inside it's torso. Elisa came out of the water fast and ran right up to Predaking.

"What do we do?" He asked her.

"We've got to stop it." She stated before she flew after it.

"No!" Predaking shouted, but Elisa was already firing her heat ray at the creature. She fired at any opening she could as the Kaiju kept swiping at her. Predaking had no choice but to fire as well and the Kaiju let out angry roar. It swiped Elisa to one side while it's tail hit Predaking right on and knocked him right into the water. He shook his head to clear his vision before he leaped right back out of the water. He saw the warship was firing at the creature as well and it shriek at it as it was too high to reach it. He continued to watch and saw another ship that belonged to Ultra Magnus. The ship started to fire at the creature as well as the wreckers through grenades at it, pissing it off even more.

The Kaiju caught a glimpse of Elisa's blue skin and he grabbed at her catching her tail. She shouted in protest as it flung her right into Ultra Magnus' ship. Something exploded in of the thrusters as she hit it hard and shouted in pain as her back burned.

"Elisa!" Ratchet called out from the bridge as his optics were wide with horror. There was another small explosion that made Elisa fall off the ship and land right into the water with smoke coming off of her body. She hit the water hard, but was relieved at the cool sensation to her burns. Predaking grabbed the damaged thruster and guided the ship onto the deck of the Nemesis without difficulty as the Kaiju continued to move. The others got out as he swopped back up into the air. The decepticons, Optimus and Ratchet joined them as Starscream flew out with his seeker armada.

"Destroy it!" He shouted as they started to fire at the Kaiju. With it's massive claws it easily got some of the seekers, but Starscream was the best flyer they had. Even Dreadwing was being cautious as he fired at the Kaiju as well, but the small fire power could only do so much to its thick hide.

"Where's Elisa? Is she ok?" Smokescreen said fearfully.

"She fell into the water I think." Bulkhead answered puzzled. The other bots huddled against the ledge as they looked for her, but they found no sign. Nothing happened for the longest time, until a flash of blue broke the water and Elisa let out a defiant roar as she charged into the air. The other bots cheered her on as she flew up to Predaking.

"I need your help with some fire power." She said.

"I'll follow your lead." He answered calmly before he did follow after her. They were at one side of the Kaiju, in it's blind spot as they started to fire at it. The Kaiju roared in surprise as felt the pain and they had to dodge it. They fired at the same spot again and they dodged again.

Sire, we're trying to distract it. Get Megatron to fire some missiles or something.

"Megatron, she's trying to distract the Kaiju from the ship. We need more fire power to make it fall back.

"What about the destruction ray Master?" Knockout said.

"It's too risky right now with the fliers in the area and we can't afford to wait for it to power up." Megatron stated. "Fire the drilling missiles!" He ordered. They were normally used for mines too deep for standard drills to go through as they couldn't risk getting the equipment destroyed. The missiles were quickly fired at the Kaiju right in the chest and it let out a painful shriek as they exploded on its chest and it fell into the water. Everyone started to cheer, except Prime and Megatron, as they cautiously viewed the scene below them.

"Good team work." Elisa said to Predaking. He nodded respectfully as the armada retreated to the ship, but Elisa wasn't moving.

"What is it?" He asked, but Elisa slowly approached the water from a distance.

What do you see Elisa? Optimus called out.

She couldn't answer as the Kaiju suddenly burst into air and clamped down on Elisa with it's teeth. She let out a painful scream and a high-pitch roar of pain as the teeth tore into her body before she was flung into the water like a rag doll. Optimus nearly screamed in pain as he fell to his knees and Ratchet nearly collapsed as well.

"Elisa!" Optimus called out, but it was already too late as she was sinking in the water. Blood dripped everywhere from her body as she felt terrible pain. There were bite marks in her side, arms and wings, and it was a miracle that the Kaiju didn't bite her in two and swallowed her whole. She was barely conscious as she drifted lower and lower. Predaking dived right into the water without hesitation. He used his wings to propel forward and he finally caught Elisa.

"REEEEEAAAUUUUGHHH!" Elisa let out a horrible high-pitch roar of pain as he took her into his arms. He tried to be gentle, but he knew she needed to get out of the water. She kept tossing her head and moaning loudly as he finally burst out of the water. Apparently Megatron had enough and ordered all the drilling missles fired at its head and they all exploded instantly before the Kaiju let out a final roar and finally fell into the water and didn't get up. A blue glow was slowly coming out of the Kaiju as Predaking hurried back to the Nemesis. Optimus and Ratchet ran over to Elisa and were huddled over her. She was crying and breathing hard as Predaking tried to place her down as gently as he could before he quickly moved away.

He moved over to Megatron as Knockout hurried over to Elisa as well. He could see the autobots flinch as Ratchet slowly moved Elisa onto her back to look at her side. She kept crying as Optimus held her head and caressed her cheek. Megatron saw her claws dig into the metal ground as the medics did what they could out of the medical bay. He saw that Optimus kept gently hitting her cheek to keep her awake, but Elisa was fading fast.

"Breakdown!" Megatron called out quickly. The former wrecker hurried over toward Megatron. "Get the medical bay ready quickly." He said quietly and Breakdown hurried into the ship without another word. Megatron cautiously walked over to the other autobots and gritted his teeth at how much blood Elisa was losing.

"Elisa…Elisa…come on baby. Elisa stay awake. You have got to stay awake." Optimus said gently, but she was already losing consciousness fast.

"Prime…" Megatron said calmly making Optimus look up to him. "Get her to the medical bay, Breakdown is prepping it now." He stated. Optimus slowly nodded before the medics backed up as he picked Elisa up into his arms. Megatron tensed when she was unresponsive to the action and he hurried back into the ship. Knockout and Ratchet followed Optimus and the rest soon followed after them. Megatron went back into the bridge with the other cons following him as the autobots headed off into the medical bay.

"Shouldn't you go check on her my Liege?" Predaking asked.

"The medics need their space to operate and there is nothing I can do for Elisa right now." Megatron stated in a neutral voice. "Shockwave." Megatron called out and the scientist stepped forward. "We need to collect some samples." He stated before he activated a ground bridge. It wasn't a pleasant time, but they managed to get what they needed. When they returned back the autobots were in the bridge and Magnus had a sour look on his face. "There's nothing we can do for Elisa right now. She needs to heal and the medics need their space." He said firmly and Magnus instantly backed off. "If you want you are all more than welcome to stay in guest quarters." Megatron said more calmly gesturing towards the door.

"Can you tell us when Elisa wakes up?" Arcee asked with a nervous voice.

"Of course." Megatron nodded respectfully. "Starscream, show them to their quarters." Megatron ordered and they all left without another word.

The Kaiju is Knifehead from the start of Pacific Rim. This isn't set before or after any specific episode so that explains why Predaking isn't after any autobots. It's an alternate reality story so don't forget that! I'll still go with the idea of the Kaiju are an "alien" species, but not from an alternate dimension. I like "old school" Kaiju where they came from somewhere on earth. Hope you enjoyed the chapter so please read and review. Thank you.
