Arcee's Past Present And Future
As Arcee laid on the medical berth of Red Alert's medical berth she could feel her spark pulse get weaker and weaker. Feeling her time get limited Arcee began to reflect on the past, present and she could only imagine what the future held for her. The distant future as the old saying went to infinity and beyond what else was there in the world that Arcee wanted to see; sure there were galaxies further away from Cybertron far far away but was there for Arcee on those distant planets. She was quite happy staying on her home planet good old Cybertron thank you very much. Arcee then let her mind/processor wander as she remembered the good quite peaceful times before the Great Cybertronian War; those memories were of happier of times. Arcee's memories of the present was full of happiness mixed with sorrow and death.
Partnership and trust was gained through the power of teamwork and; suddenly lost just as quick in a blink of an optic. During the battle between the Autobots and Decepticons on Cybertron which continued on a human planet called Earth. Once on Earth the Autobots created a secret alliance with the human military; in order to continue their fight against the evil Decepticons in order to protect humanity. Then Arcee and Bumblebee discovered three young humans who found out their true form and wanted to help by joining their cause in defeating the Decepticons once and for all. Bumblebee and Bulkhead took to their human partners almost immediately. Arcee however took a little bit more convincing she didn't mean to come off as cold; but she preferred to work alone with no one else's help. She became known as the lone wolf but no one could argue one thing though that she was the best of the best.
After all she had already lost two partners to her negligence watching them die in front of her causing so much pain and grief and anguish to her spark. She didn't want to take on another partner because bad things happened to them when she was around. But overtime her human Jack Darby managed to change her outlook on human life; and he risked his life to save hers more times then she could ever count and now Arcee would gladly call Jack Darby her partner. They fitted eachother so perfectly teaching each other new things; as well as Jack telling her things about Earth and Arcee vice versa telling Jack about Cybertron. Constantly going on rides to escape the world around them. After the war was won thanks to Bumblebee both Arcee and Jack were sad to see each other go; but they knew it was for the best but promised to keep in touch whenever they could.
Otherwise Arcee promised Jack that she would hunt him down Jack knew it wasn't necessarily a threat but it sent a chill down his spine. But as days turned into weeks and weeks turned into months and months turned into years; Arcee watched Jack grow up and live his short and happy live and then she watched him die. It saddened Arcee's spark a bit but she knew Jack wasn't going to live forever; but she was glad to have known him she was the best partner she ever had. He may have not been a Prime like Optimus but like Optimus she learned alot from Jack about how humans live their life and how they love their lives till the very end. As Arcee felt her spark get even weaker beating even slower; she felt herself get nearer and nearer to the well of the allsparks. She'd be joining Optimus and Jack soon enough that brought a small smile to Arcee's face.
Arcee then slowly began to move her head over to look at the wall at a tattered faded picture of a sunset that Jack bought for her on one of his many visits to Cybertron. Arcee was shocked and thanked Jack profusely she didn't think he'd remember after all this time that she used to like looking at the sunsets; it just awed her and calmed her down after a battle with the cons. As Arcee continued to look at her old picture of the faded sunset that she asked Red Alert to bring in weeks ago; she felt herself go offline only thinking of happy memories and that's how Red Alert found Arcee off line with a smile on her face. "Uh?" Arcee said shielding herself from the bright light. "Where am I?" Arcee then asked no one in particular as the bright light faded away. Looking down at herself Arcee was amazed to find that she didn't feel like an outdated femme.
But she looked so much like her younger self before during and after the great war. "Hey partner what took you so long?" a voice said from behind Arcee. This caused Arcee to stiffen up as he recognized that very familiar voice; turning around slowly Arcee had a feeling she knew who the voice belonged to but she just wanted to make sure. When Arcee did turn around she got quite a surprise "JACK!" Jack didn't even look like he aged a single bit; he still looked how he was when he was a teenager and tucked under his arm was his helmet that he always used when riding with her. Jack for the most part could keep the smile off his face he was glad he got to see Arcee after all this time. So again he said "Hey partner what took you so long?" Jack then gestured to his helmet and said "What to go for a ride partner whatyeahsay for old time sake?" Arcee said nothing but she had a smile on her face as she transformed into her motorcycle form; and the two former partners rode off into the sunset reminiscing on old times after all they had all the time in the world to catch up. They had a lot to catch up on so why start later when Arcee and Jack could start now.
