Transformer Dragons AU

I remember being weak, unable to move in a freezing river. I can't remember how long I was there though. M y muscles were aching, I was covered in cuts and bruises. I was going to die at that bend in the river. Then he came. A blue, red and silver dragon came out of the forest. He stood tall and proud, but his eyes were soft and gentle. Once he saw me, he lowered his head. I was much smaller than him and I could see that when he walked up to me. He had many scars on him. He was an adult and he had been in many battles. He laid down next to me, nudging my side to get me up and standing, but I could hardly even move my head.

Realising this, the dragon stood up and roared as loud as he could. Half an hour later, a small group of dragons -many non-fliers- came out of the forest and surrounded us. A white and orangey-red dragon walked up to me, grabbed me by the scruff of the neck and gently pulled me out of the river. As soon as I was out he was nudging me to get up. After many failed attempts, I was eventually able to walk on shaky legs through the forest with my saviours.

That was three months ago. Now I was healthy and the dullness in my colours was gone. Now I was snow white with a strip of electric blue on both sides of my body, starting at the tip of my nose to the tip of my tail. I stood proud and my wings raised high. Unlike many dragons in this pack, I was a flier. The other fliers were: the Jettwins -Jetfire and Jetstorm-, Sari, Prowl and our leader -the blue, red and silver dragon who found me by the river- Optimus Prime. He was quite young to be a leader, but he seemed to know what he was doing. The only threat to him in this pack was Sentinel Prime. I hated that Prime more than anything. He is stupid, reckless and arrogant. He should have never been granted the title of Prime.

I turned my head to the south as I heard a thundering roar. Megatron, I growl, showing my many sharp, white teeth. Megatron was the leader of the Decepticons, an evil pack of dragons. Most of them were fliers, only one or two weren't able to fly. Their numbers severely outnumbered ours.

I looked back over to my pack. Many dragons were either chasing each other, arguing or lying down. Our pack was made up of five adults, six sub-adults, and two elders. I was the eldest of the sub-adults. The twins came next, than Bulkhead, Sari and finally Bumblebee.

Optimus was lying on his perch -a rock residing on a cliff- with Bumblebee sleeping close next to him. Bumblebee was found at a young age by Optimus, then was taken back to the pack and looked after up to this day. Since then he has basically become Optimus' son. If anything were to happen to him, Optimus would lose it.

I crept down from my spot, a small hill at the edge of the clearing, and walked closer to the centre of it. I preferred to be on the edge of the clearing, watching everything, because being in the clearing I felt that anything could attack me from any direction. But that stopped when I reached the dark blue, light blue and white dragon, Ultra Magnus. He may be the second oldest dragon in the pack, but he was a force to be reckoned with. He was able to redirect lightning from his hammer-shaped tail tip. He was my protector. He helped me find my place in this pack.

I walked up beside Ultra Magnus and laid down. His tail wrapping around me protectively as I slept.

But that sleep didn't last long. I awoke to a loud roar. Sentinel. He was challenging Optimus again for leadership of the pack. I stood up while Ultra Magnus kept down, but our heads were at the same level.

As Optimus stood up, Bumblebee ran from his side to get protection from Ratchet -the grumpy, orangey-red and white medic who pulled e out of the river. The other sub-adults ran to the adults. The Jettwins ran to Jazz, Bulkhead to Prowl and Sari to Blurr. Most dragons were standing now except the two elders (Ratchet and Magnus), but all were watching the two Primes.

Usually these fights were bloodless, but Sentinel didn't fight by the rules and he would be the first to draw blood. If this happened, Optimus may not only loose his role, but his life.
