TFP prologue

Welcome to Team Prime

I started to wake up slowly. For the first time in a long time, I opened my eyes and I managed to see. To my surprise, it was different than before. It was like I had high-tech glasses on, but I didn't. After getting used to my vision I tried to get up. On that moment I realized my new left arm. I tried to move it a bit to try my reflex. It actually felt normal, for a robot arm. Of course, I knew it I would look weird, but I already made my decision. They did this to save me, so who would care. I managed to get to sit on the medical bed and I get to see my new left leg as well. To be honest, I thought I would have peg-leg or something, but this was cool. I just hope I could walk normally with it.

I tried to get up and stand. I knew that I may need to try now use my new leg now. At first, I tried just stand and I admit I did fall back to bed once. But I managed to stand up without a problem I tried then walking. Okay, that wasn't easy. I might need some help from others. Speaking of them, where are they? I never had a chance to see them. But now I do. I got so curious to know how they look. I tried to hold support for the nearest wall. It wasn't easy. If someone would have been near he or she would have heard me stumble and all.

I started to move to another side of the room. No one wasn't there. Or so I thought. Right then, I took a chance to looked around the place. Everything was so huge. But I guess that makes sense because I have actually sat on someone's shoulder. And yeah, I'm still with alien robots. But still, I could actually see their base. Well, I have to admit I was expecting more high-tech surroundings. But I guess there is a reason for that. Now that I looked closely this looked to be once used by humans. Maybe this is an old military base or something. Well, since they got a connection with Agent Fowler, I guess it would be obvious if this was once used by the military before Bots turn it into their base.

By looking more closely, I found big computer screens, which I guess might be the command center. I looked to other side and spot smaller computers and someone sitting near them with the huge screen. Someone about my size. And if I remember right only one of my size is...

"PeaceStar?"

The figure gasped and turned to look at me. I was surprised to see her for the first time. Well, for alien robot she looked so cute. She had blue optics as they say for eyes. Her head had a blue helmet and seemed to wear same colored armor that looked like she had top and skirt with green linings. She also had diamond decor on her head, chest and wait. She looked at me amazed.

"Elena?" she asked. She got up, but right then I notice something. Her left arm and leg were different compared to right ones. It didn't take long to realize that the arm and leg I were actually hers. She realized what I was thinking and came to me and rest her hand on my shoulder.

"I made this decision, Elena," she said calmly. "I wanted you to have proper chance to live. Even if it means I have to sacrifice something about myself."

I looked down. I guess I couldn't blame her for that. Some people are ready to donate blood or another sample for others, I guess that same goes with them. Then again they are robots. They can always make new parts, but by looking her left arm and leg I think that is not so possible here on Earth.

After this PeaceStar hugged me and then looked happier.

"Oh, just wait till others will find out," she said so excitedly and returned to her computer.

"Um...What are you doing?"

"Contacting them of course," she said, while pressed some of the buttons before she spoke. "Guys!"

"What is it? I hope it is something important." If I'm right, that sound to be Ratchet.

"Elena is awake and up."

Bumblebee and Bulkhead were to hear the news, while Ratchet asked if PeaceStar had checked her. Optimus however just asked for a Ground bridge.

"What is a ground bridge?" I asked from PeaceStar once she finished the call.

"It's how we manage to travel here on Earth to distant places," PeaceStar explained to before activated something.

Right, then a huge vortex near the command center appeared and I managed to see a vehicle coming from there. An Ambulance. As it came near us it transformed revealing his true form of a 'bot. I simply looked amazed. Like I knew they were giant alien robots, but that they can transform into vehicles. PeaceStar seemed to enjoy my reaction.

"Close your mouth. It's improper." said the 'bot. That's Ratchet. "And others?"

"I got you first," informed PeaceStar.

"Fine. Fine..." he said before went to the huge computers to do something. Then vortex opened again and this time there came yellow muscle car before it also transformed into a robot. The same happened to the second car that came, which was green HUV. Then there came red-blue truck before it also transformed into a robot. By what I could tell he was the tallest of others.

They all looked at me. I wasn't sure what to do or say. That when I looked at the bigger one. I never got a chance to see them, but somehow I felt like I could recognize him.

"Optimus?"

Everyone was surprised that I recognized him immediately, except PeaceStar and Optimus. I wasn't sure why. Optimus looked at me before showed small, but kind heartwarming smile.

"Hello, Elena."

I tried not to cry. I was so overwhelmed by what was going on. PeaceStar took hold on me just in case I will fall. Then the yellow one came forward and beeped something to me and yet somehow I understood him

"(Do you know who I am?)"

"Bumblebee?"

"(YAY!)"

I laughed at his reaction. He sounded like a teenager. That, of course, left one 'bot, which is.

"Then I take that you are Bulkhead."

"Guilty." he chuckled.

"Well, now that you know us, how about we check if you're alright," said Ratchet. "We never had a human with Cybertronian parts." I was so right. He is Ratchet. But he was right too. My papa always told me that you have to make sure everything is okay before anything. I guess it goes on this one.

After half an hour Ratchet was done with me.

"The parts are working well," he informed. "No rejections, no side-effects so far. I, however, check her again few times just to make sure."

"Very well, Ratchet," said Optimus.

"How about some tour for our new team-mate?" Bulkhead suggested.

"Team-mate? It's not like she will go out." Ratchet complained.

"Not yet," said PeaceStar. "Right now I'll make sure she can use her arm and leg, before disguising her... "new" look. I will teach her to help me here in the base while you are out. That way all of you could be on patrol."

"I agree with PeaceStar," Optimus confirms. "Ever since I sent the message to any Autobots out space, we haven't got an answer so far. While we still wait for an answer we are bit outnumbered if something happens. It would be best we have all possible support in the base."

In this team agreed. After when that was clear Bumblebee volunteered to show me places.
