Time for school again so good luck to those in college. I might not update as much as in my free time I'll be either at work or doing an independent study for school. So here are some autobots for you. I hope I didn't write them too bad in this chapter as Primus Promise has given me some practice. I am also sticking with Smokescreen being here early on just like in Primus Promise. The character grew on me I guess when watching the show and writing him he grew on me even more so I hope you like it and aren't bothered by it too much. Thank you to everyone that has reviewed and added it to their favorites and alerts.

I don't own Transformers Prime as the show is owned by Hasbro.

P.S. I'm sorry to say that apparently Transformers Prime Powerful Alliances was a hoax and they even said it on the Facebook page as even the creaters or the page didn't know that. Sorry everyone, but I was hoping for another movie too. :(

Ch. 5: Autobots

Elisa and Phoenix scattered in the mines when the autobots started to fire at the miners. Elisa ran into one of the empty holes and closed her eyes tightly, not making a sound. She heard shouts from her Carrier and someone else, but with autobots all attacking him, Megatron had no choice but to retreat.

"Well done autobots." Optimus Prime said strongly. They quickly started to move the crystals into a pile to bring back to base. There was a decent amount of crystals and they would have a good supply for a while. When Elisa heard silence the silence she cautiously got out and saw the autobots gathering crystals. She got out as quietly as she could and started to quickly crawl away from them. Her back was to them, so she didn't see Bulkhead turn around and spot her.

"Hey!" He shouted before he started to fire at her. Elisa nearly screamed in fright before she started to run. She leaped into the air only to get instantly hit in her wing. She screamed in pain and fell to the ground hard.

"Hold your fire!" Optimus shouted quickly before he hurried over to the dragon. She whimpered and covered her head as she heard him approach her. He kneeled down on his knees and he looked the dragon over. Her right wing was torn in several places from the hits and he saw that her wrist was bleeding. She was a small dragon that was blue and silver with silver and purple wings and black spikes.

"Is that a dragon?" Bulkhead asked amazed. Everyone started to circle her. She looked up and instantly panicked. She hissed and bared her teeth making everyone jump back in surprise before she tried to run away.

"Get her!" Arcee shouted as Elisa was cornered against a large energon crystal.

"Enough!" Optimus shouted before he forced everyone back. Elisa whimpered pitifully against the energon as she was in a lot of pain and Optimus could see tears in her eyes. "It's alright. I won't hurt you." Optimus said gently as he held out his servo. Elisa growled at him and arched her back to show off her spikes in warning, but Optimus held his ground and didn't move. Elisa wasn't sure what to think of the autobot. She had always been told to stay away from them because Carrier told her to. What interested her was that this autobot's aurora was gold and was extremely strong and positive just like her Carrier's.

"Please don't hurt me." She whimpered.

"Ratchet, open the groundbridge." Optimus ordered before he picked up Elisa into his arms. She whimpered in pain, but refused to cry as she clutched at his chestplates for fear of the others. "Get the remained energon back to base quickly." Optimus said before leaving.

"What happened?" Ratchet asked before he turned around. When he saw a little organic dragon in Prime's arms his optics went wide with shock. "By the Allspark." Ratchet whispered. Elisa looked at Ratchet and let out a small growl, but otherwise didn't move. The growl made Ratchet get out of his stupor and get into medic mode. "Now calm down, I'm not going to hurt you." Ratchet said sternly. He guided Optimus to the medical berth where he gently placed Elisa down. She instantly hissed and snapped when Ratchet grasped her bleeding wing. "Stop moving." He snapped irritated. She only bared her teeth and nearly jumped when Optimus placed his servo on her shoulder.

"It's alright dragon. We aren't going to hurt you." Optimus said gently.

"My name is Elisa." She finally spoke quietly.

"Elisa, my name is Optimus Prime." He stated. Elisa's eyes went wide when she realized who he was, but cried out when something pinched her skin. She turned and saw the other autobot took a needle out of her. She snapped at him again, but stared to feel sleepy for some reason.

"Carrier." She called out quietly before she fell asleep.

Megatron had been so frustrated by the loss of the mine he didn't notice Elisa missing for a good forty-five minutes. Phoenix had left him alone and she laid down at a corner on the bridge. He didn't notice Starscream looking around for her until he returned to the bridge.

"Uuuhhh…master?" Starscream said quietly as he swore he could feel the anger radiating off of Megatron.

"What?!" Megatron roared right at Starscream making him back up.

"Elisa's not on the ship." He squeaked out.

Carrier…

Megatron's optics went wide as his body froze. He felt and heard Elisa call out to him. She felt weak and her voice was quiet. Elisa was hurt and he had to get to her fast.

Elisa? Megatron called out through the bond, but he received no answer.

"Phoenix!" He snapped making the red dragon jump from her sleep and look at him. "Where is your sister?" He demanded.

"I don't know. She wondered in the mine." Phoenix said irritated. Megatron snarled to himself before he opened a groundbridge and went back to the mine. He almost thought about yanking Starscream with him, but thought better of it at the last second. His cannon was pointed and ready, but there were no autobots present. There was also no energon, but most importantly…there was no Elisa. "Elisa!" He shouted into the mine, but there was no answer, no cry for help from his youngest. He started to walk and froze when he saw blood. There was a small trail of it before it stopped. His little femme was hurt and at the autobots mercy! He let out a roar of frustration before he punched at some rubble, shattering it like glass.

"What are we going to do with her?" A deep voice called out.

"Bulkhead, calm down, she's only a youngling. She can't hurt you." Another voice protested.

The voices got mumbled as Elisa started to wake up. She didn't feel a lot of pain, but her body felt sore and stiff. Her eyes blinked open and she found herself staring at a wall. She turned her head and saw the autobots all huddled together talking about her. She didn't pay them any attention as she tried to stand. She cried out when pain shot through her broken wrist. Ratchet was by her side quickly.

"Easy there. That wrist is broken." He said quietly as gently made her lay down again.

"Carrier." She whimpered out.

"Who is Carrier?" Ratchet asked. She didn't answer as she still wasn't fully awake yet. She let out a small groan as she kept trying to shake off the sedative he had given her. She had a cast over her wrist and her wing was bandaged. She finally saw it and she looked at the cast curiously before looking up at Ratchet.

"Broken?" She repeated.

"Yes, it's broken." Ratchet repeated to her. "You can't fly either." Ratchet added. She looked at her wing and frowned before she looked over at the others.

"You're fault!" She snapped.

"Hey watch it!" Bulkhead snapped earning a small pat from Arcee to calm him down. Optimus finally walked over to Elisa and kneeled down to her level. Everyone watched as Prime held out his servo and she cautiously sniffed it.

"Carrier told me to stay away from you." She said quietly backing away from him.

"Who is your Carrier Elisa?" Optimus asked.

"Megatron." She answered finally.

"WHHHEOP!" Bee shouted in surprise.

"That's not possible!" Arcee protested as well. While Smokescreen and Bulkhead just had their jaws open.

"Elisa, are you sure?" Ratchet asked calmly. "Megatron didn't hurt you did he?" He asked.

"He's MY CARRIER!" She screeched, not understanding the autobots disbelief.

"It's alright Elisa. I believe you." Prime said calmly, trying to ease Elisa's frustration. "We'll get you back to your Carrier right away." Optimus said gently.

"Please." Elisa begged.

Optimus and Ratchet ground bridged back out to the mine leaving the others behind them.

"I thought she was a cute little thing." Smokescreen spoke out when the other two had gone, but he almost had to run out of the room with the glares the others gave him. Optimus cradled Elisa gently in his arms and he noticed she reached out for something with her good hand every now and then.

"What are you playing with Elisa?" Optimus said curiously.

"Gold." She whispered out, earning a confused look from Ratchet. They didn't have the chance to discuss it before another bridge finally opened and Megatron stomped out.

"What did you do?" He shouted as he started to charge them. Ratchet retracted his blades and got in front of Optimus, who held out his servo in protest.

"Calm down Megatron. I was going to hand her to you. I never hit her, but the other autobots panicked." Optimus explained quickly. Megatron stood silently holding his servos out before Elisa was gently placed in them.

"Carrier." Elisa said happily as she licked his face and chestplates. Megatron held her tenderly as she began to purr.

"Elisa you're hurt!" Another voice protested. They all turned to see Phoenix standing just outside the portal staring at her sister.

"Phoenix I told you to stay put!" Megatron snapped before the elder sister quickly ran back the other way. Megatron let out a frustrated sigh as he knew he would have to give a short explanation now. "Magma is their Sire." Megatron said bitterly. Both bots optics went wide at the statement.

"He's still alive!" Ratchet said shocked.

"Still back on Cybertron last time I looked." Megatron muttered.

"They're very beautiful." Optimus said gently making Elisa look at him curiously. Starscream quickly came through the bridge and Megatron handed Elisa to him without a word. "You know I would have helped you." Optimus said quietly.

"I didn't know what you would do." Megatron spat out. He knew what Optimus was talking about, but if they had been different people and in a different time, maybe things would have been different.

"Do you really think that Optimus of all people would do such a thing?" Ratchet snapped making Megatron frown.

"They're female Prime dragons. I wouldn't know what you are capable of. Some are desperate for that kind of rare power." Megatron said defensively ignoring the flash of hurt across Prime's optics.

"I'm sorry you feel that way Megatron." Optimus said quietly. Megatron nearly sneered before he left without another word.

"He really thinks that you are capable of hurting those femmes." Ratchet said.

"He's not Megatronous and I am not Orion."

Megatron was a little surprised that Elisa wouldn't look at him when he got to the medical bay. She looked away from him in shame and he felt her pain in his spark.

"Ooooh, you're in trouble." Phoenix teased with a big smile on her face.

"Phoenix leave your sister be." Megatron snapped making her pout.

"Her wing is torn and her wrist is broken, but Ratchet already put everything back into place." Knockout explained quickly keeping his voice neutral. Megatron silently nodded his thanks before he picked up Elisa and carried her out of the medical bay. "That ungrateful brat." Knockout snapped as Phoenix left the room.

"Phoenix, go to bed." Megatron ordered.

"Buuussted." Phoenix teased, sticking her tongue out. Elisa only burier her face into his chestplates further.

"Phoenix!" Megatron snapped again. She let out an annoyed huff before she hurried for their room. Megatron was silent all the way to the deck of the Nemesis where the stars were shining brightly. "Elisa, look at me." Megatron said gently.

"I'm sorry Carrier." She whimpered out when she looked at him. Tears were rolling down her face as she looked away from him.

"For what?" He asked calmly.

"I know you told us to stay away from the autobots. I'm sorry." She cried. Megatron pulled her back into his arms and rubbed her back as she cried. He kissed her neck and head in comfort to tell that she was alright.

"I'm not mad at you Elisa. It wasn't your fault." Megatron said gently.

"I…I…I didn't want you to think I was weak." Elisa said ashamed.

"I would never think that." Megatron said sternly.

"Promise Carrier?"

"I promise little one."

Optimus couldn't get the little femme out of his head. She just didn't match up to Megatron's image in anyway. Even though she had traces of silver and purple, her body was mostly blue. Not to mention that she had the brightest blue eyes he had ever seen. He suddenly realized where those blue eyes came from.

Megatronous

Optimus knew what Megatron meant back at their brief meeting. Megatron trusted Orion Pax all those many years ago, but he never trusted Optimus Prime. Prime was much more different than Pax. Orion was much more gentle, loving, and caring, while Prime was too strong in the body and mind thanks to the Matrix of Leadership. He knew Megatron hated the Matrix with all his spark and that he would always hate him too. As long as Optimus held the Matrix, Megatron would never trust Optimus with his two daughters.

Twin female Primes.

That was the other detail that Optimus kept thinking about. There was only one Prime for the humans, but the term Prime for dragons was the name of a breed. The Prime dragons were the alpha breed so to speak. Optimus found it quite unfortunate that most Prime dragons thought of themselves as superior to other dragons and other humans and Magma was one of them. Magma was a purebred Prime Fire dragon that thought humans were below him. He always thought that way and it was obvious he still thought that way if he had attacked Megatron. Optimus took a deep breath as he remembered the past so well.

Orion Pax and Megatronous knew each other long before any dragons came into the picture. It wasn't until they talked about revolution that dragons came in. They had first met a Water Prime dragon named Aquarius and he was more than happy to help them achieve their goals, but there was a problem. Aquarius had a young brother named Magma. Now just because they were fire and water dragons didn't mean that they were not brothers. Every dragon chose their element during their lifetime; the element did not choose them. Orion stayed away from Magma, while Megatronous met him head on in any challenge. The gladiator was determined to prove how much arrogance Magma had as Megatronous never walked away from a fight.

When the war broke out, Aquarius sided with Optimus and it cost him his life and his tribe. Any survivors of Aquarius' tribe had fled off world. Megatron had nothing to do with the dragon's fate, as Magma was the perpetrator. Magma already had two sons named Rhodius and Rising Dawn. Aquarius' bondmate and son had been killed by their own family. Optimus was horrified when he saw Megatron teamed with Magma and his tribe during the war for Cybertron, but the alliance didn't last as Magma was thrown away when he tried to gain control over Megatron as his human servant. He was surprised one day during one of the more calm days of the war when he was greeted by Megatron at Aquarius' grave site. He retracted his blade ready for a fight, but Megatron raised his servo in a peaceful gesture and Optimus noticed the tired look in his optics.

"I have not come here to fight. Not here, not now Optimus." Megatron said wearily. Optimus replaced the blade and looked over Megatron, who in turned looked at the grave marker. He took a few steps towards it as he ignored Optimus. "I must apologize to you old friend. You were right about him." Megatron said quietly. Optimus knew right away that he was talking about Magma. Megatron went down on one knee and gently touched the dirt with the utmost care.

"I am truly sorry for the fate I brought upon you Aquarius."

Megatron bowed his helm in silence and respect for a few long moments. There was a soft breeze in the air, but it was bitter cold as if a sign to them in some way or another. "You were the honorable Prime Aquarius. You deserved life. Now I'm sure you watch us from the watery skies and laugh at our ignorance. All I can say is be a peace Aquarius." Megatron finished before he stood up and started to walk away from Optimus.

"Till all are one."

Megatron left without another word and there hadn't been a moment like that between since then. That is until Optimus returned Elisa to her Carrier. He feared for the femmes fate as Magma was no doubt their Sire. The other femme, Phoenix, was more in her Sire's image of the red dragon. Perhaps it was a sign of a conflict to come, but Optimus could not be sure. They were twin sisters, not older and younger by years, but by minutes nothing more. He truly hoped they could grow strong together and not have history repeat itself.

Hope you guys like the added history I had here. Aquarius is also mentioned in Primus Promise. I wanted to stick with some of the same things in terms of the dragon aspect as the "breed" of the dragon Prime was explained in Primus Promise as well. I also will be going into the details of Megatronous/Orion relationship as well as I really liked their back story in Prime.
