Rise of the Maximals

Origin of the Spider

Okay, Time for a Transformers fic. So, I was reading 'Assension of the Predacons' and the thought came to me. Why not have Jack and Airachnid become Maximals and have Airachnid turn good? Also why not Raf and Miko becoming Transformer?. Just for the record, this take place just before Beast Hunters. But Predakings ability to transform is already known to Shockwave. I hope all enjoy. So without further delay... Let's kick it up.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Deep within the ruins of Cybertron, Shockwave was busy with another one of his experiments when Predaking walked in and bowed.

"Commander Shockwave, I hope I'm not over stepping my bounds. But I was under the impression that once we had Predacon bones it would only be a matter of time before there would be more Predacon troops for lord Megatron." The Predacon leader said confused.

"Unfortunately Predaking, the bones we were able to get did not have a sufficient enough amount of Predacon DNA to clone even 1. That, coupled with the fact that most others were destroyed, means cloning Predacons would be impossible." Shockwave responded.

"Then perhaps clones aren't the method to use." A voice from the shadows said as Predaking pointed his blaster at the source.

"Who are you?" Predaking asked in a threatening tone before Shockwave put his hand on the Predacon's arm."

"Calm yourself Predaking." Shockwave said. "This is an old college of mine. Hello Gamma Q" As Shockwave said the being stepped out of the shadows. Revealing a black and read being with a tree-like statue with 5 faces. The front 1 being an Egyptian style face. (Just google search Alpha Q from Transformers Energon. He's pretty much that. But the metal parts are black and red instead of silver and green.)

"Hello my old friend." Gamma Q said to Shockwave. "Now down to business. I understand you are making techno organic solders." Gamma Q stated.

"We were." Shockwave confirmed. "However our plans to create clones from the bones of ancient Predacons has failed." He said irritated before looking back up to Gamma Q. "But I assume since you are here, you plan to continue you tests with your serum."

"Indeed, but I require my old test subject as well as a Human 1." Gamma Q said.

" I have just the Human in mind." Shockwave said pulling up an image on the monitor screen. "The boy who was given the key to Vecter Sigma." He said as Gamma Q looked at him with curiosity in his eyes.

"Why would Prime give the key to this boy?" Gamma Q asked as his face changed to a demonic looking face. "From what I have studied of Humans, he seems to be lower on there physical spectrum." He said as Shockwave turned to him.

"Evidently, Prime must see something within the boy. Something I believe we can turn to our favor." Shockwave said in a voice that conveyed a smirk that his face could not.

"Commander Shockwave. Please allow me to retrieve the boy for your experiment." Predaking requested just before Gamma Q's face changed again. This time to a hefty face with a large forehead.

"That won't be necessary my reptilian friend." Gamma Q said as several shadows appeared behind him. "This task requires a bit more speed." He said as all 5 of his faces smirked

Meanwhile back on earth, Jack was walking through the Autobot base before coming to the vault where they kept the relics from Cybertron. As well a certain hunter in a stasis pod. Jack was standing in front of the pod, simply staring at it as he heard the loud footsteps of an Autobot. Turning around, Jack found that the Autobot in question was Optimus Prime.

"Is something troubling you, Jackson?" The Autobot leader asked the young Human.

"I was just wondering..." Jack began as he turned back towards Airachnid. "What could have made her the way she is?" He asked, referring both to the spiderbot's insanity and her physical form.

"Well, believe it or not, Airachid was once an Autobot." Opnimus said causing Jacks eyes to widen in shock.

"What!?" Jack nearly yelled as Optimus nodded.

"Yes. Back in those days I knew her as Skyreacher." Optimus began getting Jack's full attention. "She was 1 of the few Autobots who elected to take an aerial form. She was 1 of the most loyal Autobots you would ever meet. A capable solder, an excellent medic and a fierce friend." Optimus said reminiscing of a great comrade.

"Wait, if she was so loyal, then what happened to make her join the Decepticons?" Jack asked hoping to get a better understanding as Optimus continued the story.

"I am afraid that I am quite unsure of the details. But, from what I have been told, she was captured by the Decepticons and tortured. No one heard from her for months until she reemerged. No longer the friend we once knew but as the vicious spiderbot assassin. So twisted by the Decepticons that she would even extinguish the spark of her own brother." Optimus said with sorrow in his voice.

"Her brother?" Jack asked.

" Bumblebee Ratchet and her old team are the only ones to know this. But Skyreacher was the sister... of Tailgate." Optimus said as Jack paled at this revolation before something dawned on him.

"Wait! Couldn't the Decepticons have brainwashed her or something to make her the complete sadist she is now?" Jack asked.

"It is the most likely explanation." Optimus responded.

"Then maybe we can get her back to the way she was!" Jack exclaimed with hope in his eyes.

"Perhaps. But even if we could regain Skyreacher, the guilt of her past actions would likely make her unable to fight again." Optimus reasoned.

"Even so, it beats her being in the condition she's in now." Jack argued gaining a smile from the Prime.

"Your spirit never fails to impress me, Jackson. Perhaps 1 day, it could even return Skyreacher to the Fem she once was. Optimus said before walking out of the room as Jack turned his atention back to Airachnid's pod.

"Yeah... someday. I'll get to talk to the real you." Jack said in a whisper. Just then, a small beeping red light began to blink on the back of Airachnid's neck. This did not go unnoticed by Jack who began to look at it curiously.

Suddenly, what apeared to be a black ground bridge appeared behind Jack. Within seconds what appeared to be bipedal shark-like robots flooded the room as an alarm sounded. several of the shark robots then transformed in to stout robot forms. 1 of them then grabbed jack and 2 others picking up the pod which held Airachnid.

Just then the Autobots rushed in blaster drawn. "Jack, hold on!" Arcee called out as she blasted 1 of the sharkbots before transforming he blaster back to a hand and reaching for Jack. Just then, 1 of the sharkbots still in shark mode clamped its jaws down on Arcee's side causing her to fall over in pain as the sharkots went through there bridge with many more blocking the Autobots from following.

"JACK!" Arcee called out as the bride closed in front of her optics. 'No. Not again.' Arcee thought upon seeing her Human partner being taken from her. Suddenly, the remaining sharkbots began to glow and with seconds, each of them vaperised themselves.

The Autobots stood in total silence, unable to process what just happened. There friend was gone and the only lead to finding him was now nothing but air.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

And there you go. The first chapter of my first Transformers fic. I hope you liked it and sorry if it was to short. But it was just supposed to be setup for the next chapter. Now, before I go there are 2 things I want input on. 1: I'm not sure weather to have this be a stair Jack x Airachnid fic or to have Harem elements with Jack Airachnid, Arcee and Miko. 2: I was thinking of having Jack be Leobreaker, Miko, be Airazor and Raf be Nightscream. But nothing is final yet. So I'd love to see your idea. But I will NOT make Jack in to Silverbolt. Well, until next time... Keep on keeping on.
