Ch. 9: Fight
"We have to do something! Elisa will be killed!" Ratchet cried out in fear.
"We don't have the fire power to stop two titans from battling each other." Megatron stated firmly. "I don't mean this in an offensive way to Elisa, but it's an animal instinct to fight for territory." He explained.
"But how can she understand territory if she doesn't have any?" Ratchet asked back.
"Mutavore just threatened her so she's going to fight back." Megatron said pointing to the screen as Elisa charged at her opponent. Mutavore stepped back as the larger creature kept coming until it finally was upon him. Elisa grabbed it's large arms paying no mind to it's small appendages. That is until they started to stab at her shoulders. She snarled in anger at the cheap shots before she grabbed one into her mouth and pulled it right out. Mutavore shrieked as it stumbled back in pain. Still very, very angry Elisa swiped her tail at it's head and it fell to the ground dazed. Elisa charged again, but Mutavore got to his feet and head-butt Elisa right in the chest. She let out a choked roar before she threw up bile and fell to her knees gasping for air. Before she could even recover, Mutavore slammed his intertwined fist into her back. Elisa let out a shout of pain as she fell onto her stomach.
She stayed still as best as she could as her opponent started to back away. She opened her eyes and her spiked flashed blue before she hit Mutavore square in his chest. He let out a roar of pain as blue blood spurted from his chest. Elisa was ready to be done with him so she fired at the same spot again. Mutavore let out a strangled roar before he fell onto his back dead. Elisa slowly got to her feet and stared at her enemy for a moment just to make sure he wouldn't get up. When he didn't Elisa let out a bitter roar of victory in his direction. She didn't hear the cheering on the Nemesis as she let out another victory roar high into the air so that everyone would hear her. When the sound of her voice died down Elisa turned around and looked up at the sky. She didn't understand it, but she just seemed to know that something was up there. Something or someone important was up there. She let out a strangled roar that sounded like a moan as she reached up to the sky.
"Look!" Optimus gasped as Elisa looked up to the sky.
It's ok Elisa I'm here.
Optimus spoke to here through the bond, praying to Primus that she heard him. Apparently she must have for she looked around in confusion to find the voice that spoke to her.
"Ratchet talk to her through the bond!" Optimus called out quickly.
Elisa it's ok, Carrier's here.
Ratchet spoke up quickly and Elisa looked around even further for the new voice that called out to her. The voices gave her comfort to her aching body, but no blue eyes were to be seen. Tears started to roll down her face before she let out a burst of fire in a random direction, causing a section of the city to instantly burst into flames.
Elisa!
Both Sire and Carrier called out to comfort her, but it was no good as she let out an angry roar and started smashing the closest building to her. She tore it apart with her claws. Debris went flying every which way with every swipe that she took until she was satisfied that the building was no more. She looked at the smoldering remains for a moment before she let out a quiet mumble and started walking towards the shore.
"She heard us…Optimus she heard us!" Ratchet cried with joy, but it was short lived as Elisa roared into the air with more tears rolling down her face.
"But she can't find us." Optimus whispered out.
"She's looking for you." Starscream added quietly. Elisa was almost to the shore line when she let out a high-pitch roar of pain and fell on all fours.
"What's happening!?" Ratchet shouted. Elisa's claws dug into the ground as pain rain down her back.
CRACK!
CRACK!
CRACK!
Elisa screeched as bones twisted and formed inside of her expanding her back. They poked at her skin, but didn't go through just yet as they had much more growing to do, but the idea was short lived as another wave of pain racked through her.
CRACK!
CRACK!
CRACK!
Everyone covered their audios as Elisa let out another scream of pain and massive spikes poked through her back expanding many feet. A thin line of tissue also appeared from the bones. Elisa let out ragged breaths as she crawled towards the water. When she reached it she all but fell in it and everyone let out a gasp of fear as she didn't move for a few moments. When she finally did get up she kept crawling before she dove back under the water and disappeared.
"What just happened?" Arcee said finally.
"Shockwave?" Megatron called out loud.
"She's mutating again." He answered from his lab as he also saw that happened from his work space.
"But she's already a giant kaiju." Smokescreen protested.
"Elisa is still a dragon so logically she is getting her wings." Shockwave stated.
"So what does that mean exactly now?" Optimus asked.
"She might not surface for some time given how much pain she is in." He answered.
"What happens if another kaiju surfaces?" Bulkhead asked.
"Only time will tell." Megatron answered.
Xxxxxxx
CRACK!
CRACK!
CRACK!
Elisa collapsed against the ocean floor, roaring in pain. It felt as if everything just kept growing. It was twisting her inside and out and she could barely stand it. She just laid there hoping it would go away, but the pain kept going…and going.
CRACK!
CRACK!
CRACK!
She didn't have ability to scream again as the pain shot through her body setting her on fire. Her wings finally stopped growing and were expanding now. Soft tissue connected together to form the soft membranes between small bones. They turned dark to match her dark skin and her red eyes were tightly shut. Her claws dug into the ground deeper and deeper until her fingers were touching rock. The pain lasted for the longest time as Elisa was only able to let out growls of pain. A few more shocks went through her before the pain finally started to die down, but she still refused to move. She didn't know how long she had been there before she finally opened her eyes. Her breaths came out as moans as the water continued to mover without her. She moved only a little bit as she settled down on her stomach.
She welcomed the empty blackness quickly.
Xxxxxxxx
"The humans are getting paranoid. Oh joy." Starscream said heavily with sarcasm.
"What do they hope to achieve arming themselves against giants?" Dreadwing asked.
"A sense of security." Ratchet answered from behind him. "Oh my…Optimus we have to contact Agent Fowler." He said.
"Why bother?" Megatron snapped.
"Because we can update him on the situation." Optimus answered before he started typing on one of the monitors.
"What the? PRIME WHERE IN THE SAM HILL HAVE YOU BEEN?!" Agent Fowler asked making Starscream and Megatron moan in frustration.
"I apologize Agent Fowler but I am sure you are well aware of the situation." Optimus said gently.
"Wait where are you guys?" He asked confused for a moment.
"Hello Agent Fowler." Starscream teased earning a sharp kick from Megatron making him yelp and leave Optimus be.
"You're with the cons!? Why?" Fowler asked.
"We are working together to solve this problem… a temporary truce if you will." Optimus answered sparing a small glance at a neutral Megatron.
"I don't know Prime." Fowler said with hesitance.
"Get on with it." Megatron growled quietly.
"Agent Fowler, listen to me. We have already encountered three kaiju these past few days." Optimus explained quickly getting Megatron's tone.
"Three? So did you guys get the Knifehead that was out a sea?" Fowler asked.
"That is correct. However, Elisa was bitten by Knifehead and I am afraid that she has been mutated into a Kaiju." Optimus said quickly.
"Wait are you telling me Elisa is now a big giant monster." Fowler said confused.
"Unfortunately yes." Ratchet answered quietly.
"Oh my gosh…I..I…I'm so sorry." Fowler said sincerely.
"We believe Elisa is looking for Ratchet and myself in her new state as well." Optimus added.
"Wait, what does she look like? Was she the one that took down that monster in Australia?" Fowler asked.
"Yes Agent Fowler." Optimus answered.
"So is she on our side?"
"I'm not really sure Agent Fowler. It could be that she sees it as a more territorial attack than anything else, but she is still very unpredictable." Optimus answered.
"Are there any more of those…things out there?"
"That is also another possibility. Elisa discovered something about them, but was never able to tell us as Knifehead arrived."
"Well so far everything is quiet for the moment, but the President is putting the Navy all across the coast line of the United States as a precaution along with routine patrols to catch if anything big is coming our way. " Fowler explained.
"I'm not sure that will do you any good Agent Fowler." Megatron said a little too darkly to Prime's concern.
"It doesn't matter Megatron. We have to protect OUR borders from these things no matter what." Fowler snapped back making Megatron roll his optics.
"We will do our best to keep up on things Agent Fowler. I will keep you posted." Optimus said calmly.
"Good luck Prime." Fowler said before the line was cut off. Optimus glanced at Megatron and frowned deeply before he and Ratchet left the room.
"Stop behaving like this is a bearings contest. Elisa had the decency to care for you." Ratchet snapped at Megatron before he left. Megatron froze and suddenly felt heavy. He let out a deep sigh before he rubbed his optics to hide the small tears from Starscream's view.
I'm sorry if you thought the fight scene was too short, but I'm only following what happened in Pacific Rim as the fight with Mutavore and Striker Eureka was very short as well.
