Transformers Prime:Vengenace II
Chapter 1
"Where are we at Gentlemen?"Silas said as he walked into a large warehouse,overlooking the room from an above walkway,all the action centered around a large table in the middle of the floor as a Cybertronian body layed upon it with a group of men gathered around.
"Repair procedure is almost complete Sir..we're about ready to revive her".
"Most Excellent"Silas said as he decended down the stairs,joining the others."How bad was the damage?".
"The Energon blasts were devastating to her systems but precise...so if could of been worse"One of the Agents answered as Silas watched,turning his attention to the loud footsteps coming up behind him.
"Your late..."Silas said looking back up to the Cybertronian.
"Sorry..it was a long flight..."Starscream responded.
"I trust you have it?"Silas asked as Starscream held up a shard of Dark Energon as Silas reached out for it.
"Not so fast...Remember our bargain?".
"Fine...Your Energon supply is ready to go..I'll include more if you help finish the procedure".
"Sounds good to me"Starscream said as she steped forward infront of the table ,looking down at Airachnids body.
"Explain to me how that is suppose to bring her back to life"Silas said looking at the shard.
"Strange thing Dark Energon...as it brings the gift to bring the dead back to life...it has a side effect".
"And what side effect is that?"Silas inquired.
"It leaves them...what's the human term?..A zombie.."Starscream answered.
"I need an assassin...not some walking corpse".
"Not to worry..downloading her mind until the procedure is complete should keep that from happening...You know there's a part of me that's regretting helping you..I like the thought of her being in this state..our time working together hasn't been pleasant".
"Then why are you helping M.E.C.H?".
"I'm fighting for my own survival now...You know how hard it is to harvest Energon alone?".
"Just get on with it"."Silas said as Starscream steped forward ramming the Dark Energon shard into Airachnids chest as it glowed purple but seeing no other response.
"Why isn't it working?"Silas said looking up to Starscream for answers.
"Her body may be alive..but her mind is not"Starscream responded,knocking on Airachnids forhead.
"Commence memory upload"Silas commanded as a agent connected a cable to the back of Airachnids head.
"Roger Sir..Uploading now"Another agent responded,typing on the keyboard of his computer.
"You know Silas...You have a good operation here..I wouldn't mind joining too".
"Our organization has no need for defectors or traitors..what's the chance of you double crossing us as well?".
"What..I wouldn't..."Starscream started to say as Silas turned back to the agents.
"Progress report?".
"Upload is complete Sir".
"Excellent Gentlemen"Silas said as Airachnid came alive arching her back,screaming as her chest and optics glowed broke free from her arm and leg restraints as she grabed M.E.C.H agents within her reach,tossing them against the wall.
"Do something!"Silas said yelling up to Starscream.
"Sorry...not part of the bargain"Starscream responded as he transformed,blasting out through the skylight in the ceiling,fleeing the scene.
Airachnid finished killing all the agents,turning her attention to Silas as she leaped for him,picking Silas up and pressed him up against the wall,her grasp around his neck.
"You!...Give me one good reason why I shouldn't take your head Silas!".
"Instead of wanting to kill me..you should be thanking me".
"Thanking you?..For what?".
"Because I brought you back to life".
"Arcee...She did this to me".
"Well with my help you can get your revenge".
"And what would you want in return Silas?".
"Only you helping M.E.C.H out on occasion..That's the least you could do for all we have done for you".
Airached released Silas as he fell to the floor,dusting his clothes off as he stood up.
"But by all means...Think over my offer"Silas said as he turn his back to her.
"I have thought it over..And tempting at it sounds..I'm afraid I really must be going..But Thank You for the hospility and all Silas..."Airachnid said as she raised her arms,powering up her blasters.
...
"Welcome to K.O. Drive-In..Where every meal is a Knockout..Would you like to try one of out famous burgers today?..."Jack said as he spoke into his headset.
"Not unless you want your girlfriend to lose her lovely figure"Came Arcee's voice over the speaker as she pulled on around to the window.
"Hey Babe"Jack greeted her as he leaned out,looking down at her,not even noticing her female holographic rider.
"Hey Baby..Ready to go?"Arcee asked him as he rubed the hair on top of his head.
"Yea just have to finish up a couple of orders..do you mind waiting?"Jack asked as a black convertible pulled around full of guys Jack recognized as members of the football team as all four of them let out whistles at Arcee's leather clad female rider.
"Those jerks...They need to know I'm taken"Arcee said,Jack hearing the anger in her voice.
"I'm just glad they're whisling at your hologram instead of you"Jack said as he was getting their order together.
"I'll be in my usual parking spot"Arcee said as she drove forward,hearing more whistles coming from behind her as she pulled into a parking spot.
Jack walked out the door a few minutes later,helmet under his arm as he walked up to Arcee,taking a seat on her.
"Sorry for the wait Arcee"He said as he griped her handlebars.
"No problem Babe...So how was work?"Arcee asked as she pulled out onto the street.
"Just the usual..."Jack responded as Arcee adjusted her right mirror to see his face.
"Jack is something wrong?".
"Just irriated at those guys back there..I should of spoke up for you..said you were my girlfriend".
"Jack...You know I would love if you defended me but if you did it might of led to something worse..they would of found about my hologram or start a fight with you...and you know I would come to your defence in a heartbeat but...".
"I know..you don't exist".
"Besides I think you just want to show me off".
"What?..No..No I don't".
"Hmmm..so I'm not worth showing off?"She asked.
"I didn't mean it that way...I just want you all to myself"He answered back,laying a hand on her fuel tank.
"Good answer..You sliped your way out of that one".
"Just speaking the truth Babe".
"We better hurry to base..Optimus said Fowler's there and he has something importnant to show us"Arcee said as she boosted her speed down the desert highway.
...
"Well if it isn't the happy couple"Fowler said from the second level as Jack and Arcee rolled into base as he removed his helmet,steping off of Arcee as she transformed.
"Hey Agent Fowler...Hey Miko...Hey Bulkhead...Where's Raf?"Jack asked looking around,seeing no sign of him or Bumblebee.
"They haven't reported in yet"Came Ratchets voice as he entered the control room followed by Optimus.
"We sat the machines up in Ratchets lab Agent Fowler..we are most curious to learn more about them...Hello Jack..I'm trusting your day as gone well?".
It was okay Optimus..and what machines are you refering to?"He asked.
"I think it would be best if Agent Fowler explained..as we all want to know".
"Well lets not waste any more time"Fowler responded as she desended the steps leading everyone down the long hallway that led to the rest of the base as they entered Ratchets lab.
Jack and Miko both stared up at amazement,seeing two towering army green robot suits standing up against the back wall.
"These were made out of the idea the Brass had about future warfare...They wanted every soldier to have the power of a tank...Seemed like a good idea at the time till the costs were layed down infront of them..Only these two prototypes were ever made..so I thought they could be of use to us".
"Agent Fowler...what possible use could we Autobots have for Human robotic suits?"Ratchet asked.
"Well I was thinking more about for Jack"Fowler said as he layed a hand on his right shoulder.
"What...are...are you sure?"Jack responded surprised.
"How could you possibily think Jack operating this machine is a good idea..It's outdated"Ratchet protested.
"Then maybe you can get it up to date for Jack Ratchet?"Optimus asked.
"With all due respect Optimus..I think these"machines"will be a complete waste of our time and resources...there's no purpose for them".
"I have to agree with Optimus Ratchet"Arcee said as she steped forward.
"With this war not coming to a end anytime soon and with the growing threat of M.E.C.H...Jack is finding himself more into the middle of the action everyday..And if there is a chance that him being in that will protect him,I'm all for it..and if you won't improve it..I will..and you know you don't like anyone else in your lab"
"Very well..."Ratchet reponded giving in as he steped forward,looking the suit over.
"Well Ratchet?"Optimus asked
I suppose I could replace the power supply with an Energon system...add some weapons...Lot of work Optimus...But I believe I can get it done".
"Great!..It's settled then...Why don't you go ahead and climb up to see how she fits Jack"Fowler said as he patted Jack on the shoulder.
"Ummm...Alright"Jack responded as he started to climb the metal stairs leading to the cockpit.
"Welcome"The suit spoke as Jack opened the cockpit,climbing inside.
"I hate talking machines..."Ratchet said rolling his eyes.
"Ummm...Gloves?"Jack asked as he held a pair of black gloves up with wires hanging from it so everyone could see.
"That's how you control it Jack"Fowler responded."Make a fist and it makes a fist..throw a punch and it throws a punch...make a...".
"Alright we get it..."Arcee said interupting him.
"There's sensors around your waist that control your balance and the pedals on the floor control the legs..Why don't you try talking a few steps forward".
"Ummm...Okay"Jack said nervously as he slowly made the suit walk forward.
"Whoa...Do I really look this small?"Jack asked as he looked down to Miko as she watched.
"Not that small..you're about a foot taller"Arcee answered with a smile,teasing him.
"Well at least I can do this now"Jack added at he walked up to Arcee,wraping both mechianical arms around her waist,pulling her in close.
"Mmmm...you know I prefer the real thing"Arcee responded as she turned around in his brace,finding herself eye level with Him.
He activated the switch that controls the windshield of the cab as it raised up,pulling Arcee closer as he met her half way,kissing her deeply.
"Ummm..well..."Fowler only managed to say as he cleared his throat,looking away making Optimus,Ratchet,and Bulkhead to do the same.
"Don't make me have to tell Ratchet to take that away from you"Arcee said as She and Jack both exchanged smiles.
Miko slowly steped away from the group,running over to the other empty robotic suit on the other side of the room as she rushed up the steps,eagerly taking the controls.
Hearing the sounds of the other suit powering up quickly made everyone turn their attention to Miko as she clumsy made the suit walk around the room,crashing into walls and machinery.
"Miko!...I needed that!"Ratchet yelled as he rushed over to inspect the broken machines while Optimus grabed Miko,trying to get her back under control.
"Miko!..Press the Emergency Stop Button!"Fowler yelled up at her as she took a quick look around.
"Do you know how many buttons they are up here!".
"It's the Big Red One!"Fowler yelled again as the suit powered down,telling everone that she found it.
"Now tell me how to get this wind shield open..cause I think I'm going to hurl".
"Looks like you just bought yourself a suit kid..."Fowler said as he bowed his head,rubing his eyes.
"What...Wait..I did?"Miko asked suprised finelly finding the button that opens the cab.
"Why let Miko keep the suit Agent Fowler?"Jack asked.
"I may have let out a small detail...The suits are equipped with biological locks".
"What does that mean in English?"Miko asked.
"It means that you are the only...and I mean the only one that can operate that suit now Miko...And the same goes for Jack"Ratchet said as he stood a large machine back on it's end.
"Sweet!...Can't wait till I start doing some Con smashing of my own".
"That Miko is completly out of the question"Optimus said as he picked her up,then sat her down gently on the floor.
"Can't I just exchange it for a pink one?...Cause green is totally not my color".
"I'll paint it any color you want Miko if you would please just leave my lab..."Ratchet said,still cleaning up the mess she had made.
"I think it would be best if we all left the lab"Optimus added as Jack deactivated his suit,with Arcee helping him down.
"Well...Back to being small"Jack said as Arcee kneeled down to him.
"Just how I like you".
"Arcee...you have a patrol this evening..you best be under way".
"Roger Optimus"She responded giving Jack a quick kiss before standing up and walking out behind the rest of the Autobots.
"Well what's on the agenda now Jack?"Miko asked as she walked up,standing beside him.
"What ever you do Miko..you're going to have to do it by yourself...I'm going to my room"
...
"Prime!"Agent Fowler yelled over the loud speaker of the base as Optimus and Bulkhead steped forward.
"Agent Fowler..how can we be of..."
"It's M.E.C.H...I wasn't back at the agency for one hour before a call came through that one of their reported base's had been attacked".
"Ummm...That's a good thing right?"Bulkhead asked confused.
"Would of been...except we didn't do it!...I suspect Con's are involved".
"That's highly unlikely Agent Fowler..Megatron wouldn't waste his time or resources on something of little importance to him".
"Well you can see for yourself when you get here Prime..I'm sending the coodinates".
"Understood Agent Fowler..we're on our way"Optimus said as he ended the transmission.
"Rafeal...would you mind operating the Groundbridge till Ratchet finishes his work?".
"Sure Optimus"Raf answered as he took his eyes off the video game him and Bumblebee were playing to answer.
Optimus pulled down the groundbridge control handle as Him and Bulkhead both turned around,walking through the green portal that had just appeared.
They appeared in an area that seemed to look like a military base,they were buildings burning in all directions as the fire's lit up the night sky,leaving Optimus and Bulkhead looking around in shock.
"By the All Spark Optimus..What hit this place?".
"I was wondering if you could tell me"Fowler said as he walked up behind them,making them turn around.
"Any Human casualties Agent Fowler?".
"Plenty...I stoped counting...All M.E.C.H Agents".
"What a waste of Human life..."Optimus said as he looked around again,the espression on his face turning sad.
"Silas wasn't among the dead..If he was here..He managed to evade whatever did this".
"Whatever it was...it sure took some effort to break in here"Bulkhead said.
"Not break in Bulkhead...to break out...".
"You mean to tell me Prime what ever..or who ever did this cause all this death and damage just to escape?".
"I'm afraid so Agent Fowler...".
"That's just wonderful...On top of Con's..we have a rogue M.E.C.H experiment to deal with".
"Whatever did this..it was using a Energon blaster"Bulkhead added as he examined a nearby wall.
"So we are dealing with a Con!".
"Starscream is the likely cause of all this Agent Fowler..although he is still our enemy He is no Megatron and is purely out for hisself".
"Well you better find this rogue Con Prime..and take him down".
"We are not doing anything less than before with bringing this war to a close Agent Fowler...Starscream is a enemy to the Decepticons as he is to us..So he must be taken alive"
...
Jack layed in his and Arcee's room,flipping through channels on the tv that hung on the concrete wall that he had added just days before.
It seemed like he came across the same channels over and over as he searched for something to watch,with nothing coming of interest to him.
"You better not find that more entertaining than me"Came Arcee voice as she appeared,walking into the room,then sitting on their bed,crossing her legs.
"Hey..I thought you knew me better than that"Jack responded.
"Mmmm...It's a good thing I do".
"So...How did your patrol go?".
"It was quiet..wanted to get it over with quickly and get back to you..Think I might have ran a couple of red lights".
"Mmmm..my girl has been bad..."Jack said as she moved over,huging Arcee around the back of her neck as she turned her head to the side to smile at him.
"Not yet I haven't".
"I hope you don't have anything to do tomorrow..Cause I have our day planned out for us".
"Well...Your Mom called me...She want's to go out to lunch with me tomorrow..Says she want's to get to know me better".
"Great...That's all I need"Jack said sighing,flopping back on his pillow.
"Why does that bother you Babe?...She already said she approves of us".
"Because I'm going to be the main topic...Can't think of all the embrassing thing's she will say about me...And she will pressure you to talk about me too".
"Jack I think it's a good idea for Me and Her to get to know each other better...And I promise I'll be very careful about what I tell her about us".
"And what about what she tells you?".
"Well it might help me learn some things about you too..And I'll try not to laugh to hard"Arcee said smiling as Jack sighed again.
"Aww Baby I'm teasing you..Thought you liked it".
"I do Arcee...It's just you don't know how Mom's are".
"Maybe this will help me learn"Arcee said as she leaned down,kissing Jack's neck.
"Mmmm...Arcee".
"Mmmm...Feel good?"She asked whispering in his ear.
"Ohh yes...".
"Mmmm you know I don't like you this clothed"Arcee said with a grin as she reached down,pulling Jack's shirt off over his kissed his neck again,then slowly made her way down his bare chest,kissing as she went.
Arcee layed down,taking Jack with her as he layed upon her leaned down,placing gentle kisses on her neck as she reached up,stroking his wavy black hair.
"Ohhh...Baby...Mmmm".
"You two are totally grossing me out..."Miko said from the doorway,surprising Jack and Arcee as they quickly turned to look at her.
"Miko!...What are you doing here?...Why haven't you went home yet?"Jack asked her.
"Bulkhead went on a mission with Optimus...Bumblebee is suppose to take me home...When he gets done playing video games with Raf that is..."Miko said as she came further into the room as Jack and Arcee exchanged irritated looks.
"Miko..can you give us some privacy?"Arcee asked.
"Yea Miko...Get out"Jack added.
"Please...As if no one knows what goes on in here".
"I don't care if they do or not Miko"Jack said raising his voice.
"Fine...I guess I'll leave without giving you your message".
"And what message is that Miko?".
"Ratchet says it's going to take a little longer getting your suit ready...He's behind in making the Synthetic Energon".
"Thank you Miko...you can get out now"Jack said again as Miko stood in her place.
"He said get out!"Arcee yelled scareing Miko,making her quickly run out and putting a little fear in Jack as well.
"Now maybe we can be alone"Arcee said,her voice turning normal again as she turned to look at Jack.
"Remind me not to ever make you mad"Jack said with a smile,Arcee returning it as they kissed deeply again.
...
"Hey June...I'm on my way...I'll pick you up soon"Arcee said over her com-link as she drove down the desert highway on a beautiful Sunday morning.
"Did Jack say he was ok with this Arcee?".
"Well it bothered him some but I talked him into it".
"Why did it bother him?".
"He thinks this whole thing is just an excuse to talk about him and embrass him..We're not going to that are we?".
"Of course not Arcee"June responded letting out a little laugh making Arcee laugh with her.
"So...Did you remember to bring his baby pictures?..I'm dieing to seem them".
"Got them in my purse..and I can't wait to show them to you..My Baby is so cute".
"Hey!...He's our Baby remember?"Arcee responded as a black and purple helicopter appeared flying behind her.
"No...It can't be...I'm going to have to call you back June".
"Arcee...What's..."Arcee ended the call before June could finish as she pulled off the highway,going off-road through the desert.
The helicopter unleashed volleys of misslies as Arcee weaved from side to side,dodging them as she deverted all her Energon to her rear wheel,greatly boosting her speed only to find the helicopter staying behind with her.
Another volley of missiles caught Arcee off guard as one hit her back wheel making her wreck as she transformed,rolling on the ground,crashing into a rock.
She stumbled to stand up as the helicopter came to a hover above her,transforming in mid-air before slamming down onto the ground.
"Hello Arcee..surprised to see me?"Airachnid asked,walking up to her
"You can't be alive...I killed you myself".
"You did kill me...But Hell spat me back out...So I'm back..ready to have some fun again".
Arcee pulled her blasters but before she could get a shot off Airachnid raised her arms blasting Arcee with her webbing as she fell to the ground,arms binded to her side.
Arcee strained to reach up with her arm to activate her comlink as Airachnid rushed forward,kicking Arcee into another rock.
"You know Arcee..Huge part of me wants me to kill you right here and now...But why do that...When I can gain so much more from you"Airachnid said as she bent down,reaching under Arcee's chin,making her look up.
"Revenge is sweet..isnt it Arcee?"
To be continued...
