A Light In The Darkness

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.
