Crimson Dawn wasn't always a bot, in fact she was a human once. By the name of Coraline Douglas. She loved street racing and that's how she meet Knockout. She didn't know he was an alien from Cybertron. Just thought he was an amazing racer. They formed a bond, a kinship. Which is why Knockout turned her into a bot after a serious car crash which was killing her human body. She did not consent and now she must adapt to her new life as a Cybertronian. Crimson Dawn.

Crimson's POV

I woke up with a groan. What the hell happened to me? Just then I start to remember the accident. I had been racing my friend Knockout. I know, stupid name. But he is very talented driver. He is the only person in the world who can beat me in a race. But I can also beat him.

Anyway, we were racing along the high way. It was night, pitch black. Neither of us had our lights on, so that we wouldn't be caught by the police. Knockout shouted at me to slow down. But I didn't listen to him, thinking it was a trick to win our race.

But it hadn't been. I'd been hit by a truck. How the hell am I alive right now? I look around confused, I'm in a metal room. Odd, if I had been in an accident. Shouldn't I be in hospital? I look down at my body, expecting to see myself covered in bandages or something like that. Instead I see a metal robotic like body and gasp.

"What the hell?!" I exclaim sitting up and look at hands. At least I think they are my hands. They to were made of metal, but respond to my thoughts as if they were my own.

"Oh good, you're awake" a familiar voice says as I hear a door open.

"Knockout, what..." I start to ask as I turn to him. I gasp in shock by the giant red robot. "What the hell?!" I exclaim.

"Easy, I know this is a major shock. But you need to be calm" he tells me.

"Calm?! You're a talking robot and so am I!" I shout.

"Correction, Cybertronian and decepticon" he tells me.

"What happened?" I demand.

"Your car was hit by a truck, you were gonna die. I know nothing about human medicine, but from the damage and how fragile human bodies are. I knew there was nothing they could do to save you. But there was something I could do" he states.

"What do you mean? What did you do?" I ask him.

"I saved your life, I can't believe it worked. But it did and now your alive. With a stronger and more durable body" he states. I glare at him. "I transferred your mind into this body. I knew I couldn't save your human body, but there was a chance I could save your mind. And I did" he explains.

"And my human body?" I ask him.

"Dead" he says simply. "But you're alive and there is so much you need to learn" he tells me.

"About?" I ask.

"The war between the autobots and decepticons. The fall of Cybertron and so much more" he states. "But, first you need to know your new name" he tells me.

"New name?" I ask him confused.

"Coraline isn't a real Cybertronian name" he states. "Now you are Crimson Dawn" he declares. "You are a decepticon and Lord Megatron will no doubt want to meet you soon. I know it'll be hard, but please hold your tongue in his presence. He can make you life hell, in your old words" he tells me.

"But I don't want to join a war" I tell him. "I just want to race and go back to my life" I state.

"Well you can't, your human body is gone and your old life is over" he tells me. "I promise, I will help you adapt. Everything will be ok" he assures me. "Wait here, I'll go inform Lord Megatron you are awake" he states. Then left the room and I frown looking at my new body. It feels surreal, like this is some weird dream.

Third Persons POV

"So you managed to fix the protoform we had found and taken from the autobots?" Megatron asks Knockout as they head for the medical bay.

"Yep, I surprise myself sometimes with how good I am" Knockout tells him smuggly. "Her name is Crimson Dawn and she is ready to serve your cause Lord Megatron" he assures him.

"Excellent" Megatron says smirking as they arrive.

Crimson's POV

I am now standing on my new feet. I am studying my reflection in the metal wall. I hate to admit it. But I look good and I love the colour. It's my favourite colours. Of course, Knockout would paint me these colours. I wonder if I can turn into a car like him? If so, what sort?

"Ah I see you are standing already" an unfamiliar voice says. I turn to see Knockout and a tall gray scary looking robot. I mean Cybertronian. Man I have a lot to learn. "You are Crimson Dawn?" he asks me.

"Yes, my lord" I say stiffly. Not used to being so formal with anyone. I hate it.

"Are you ready to fight for the decepticon cause?" he asks.

"Not quiet, I feel I am still not ready for active duty and would like to brush up on some of my combat skills" I lie. I am not fighting his war. I just have to stall until I get out of here.

"Breakdown and I would be happy to educate her, Lord Megatron" Knockout says bowing to him.

"Very well, you may begin her training once Breakdown returns from his mission" Megatron states. "I'll have Soundwave monitor her progress and even teach her somethings himself" he declares. "Do not worry, we'll find a place for you in our ranks. If not in the field, then perhaps an assistant" he tells me.

"I live to serve you, Lord Megatron" I say bowing to him. He smiles appreciatively before leaving.

"That went better then expected" Knockout states.

"I hate it, I will not be a pawn in Megatron's game. I want no part in this war" I tell him annoyed.

"I get it, but you got to be calm and civil. Otherwise you could end up in the brig or dead" he tells me. "Now, I will get us some energon and I can tell you about the war" he states. He left briefly and soon returned with two glowing blue cubes. He hands me one and takes a sip of the other. I sniff mine and take a sip, it didn't taste to bad.

We both sit down and he tells me about the war. About the current decepticons and autobots on Earth. How we're on an ship. Which would be kind of cool, if I wasn't scared of heights. It's bad enough with my new height, let alone being thousands of feet in the air. Where I can't see the ground. Anyway, from what I've learnt about both sides of the war. If I had to choose one, it'd be the autobots. Not the decepticons, but I can't let anyone on this ship know that otherwise I'll die for real this time. But if I can get away and contact the autobots. Maybe they will give me sanctuary from the decepticons. But until then, I will have to play my part to stay alive on this ship. Good thing, I am a good actor.
