It's been two months since the incident with Airachnid, the Autobots were greatly discouraged when the news that MECH still lived reached them, but they were quickly reassured by Optimus's leadership, but lately nothing has happened, no Decepticon threats and no sign of MECH, just silence. But the Autobots are unaware of what the Decepticons or MECH are now planning. Now the family of Autobots were growing bored and some anxious, except Optimus, and one welcomed the peace and quiet, Ratchet. However they wouldn't have ever been prepared for what was coming.
Arcee walked sown the halls of Omega one, she activated her comm device and connected with Jazz. "Jazz?" she asked stopping to talk. "Hey Cee. Whats up?" he asked over the comm. "Nothing, just wondering if you needed extra help?" she asked, desperate to get some work. "Nah, I think we're good...wait a sec, oh this is incredible, you the great Arcee, are bored!" he laughed. "What?! No! I...I'll talk to you later." she frowned, being embarrassed by Jazz as she closed her comm link channel.
Jack was at K.O Burger for another three hours, Jazz and Bumblebee were out scouting for energon mines, Ironhide and Bulkhead were on patrol, so it was just Arcee, Ratchet, Optimus, Miko, Raf, and Blackwolf at base. But Blackwolf wasn't anywhere to be seen. She started looking by looking in his quarters, but he wasn't there, then up top, outside the base, but no such luck. She found Ratchet, working on the groundbridge. "Hey Ratchet, have you seen Blackwolf anywhere?" she asked him, wanting to find her secret lover. "I believe Blackwolf was headed to the training room, last I saw him." he informed, turning back to his work.
When she got to the training room she found him there, fighting holographic vehicons. They were harmless but had the same fighting moves and could be touched as if they were actually vehicon, she watched them all appear in waves, down they all dissipated with his strikes. He fought fierce, readying for the next real fight. He finally finished and ended the session. He was now exhausted after three hours of training. He turned to see Arcee walking towards him, he smiled and walked to meet her half way. They embraced in a hug, not afraid to show affection since they were alone. She gave him a quick peck on the lips. They broke their embrace and sat down to talk.
"Arcee, you're too anxious to move on to the next fight before you finish the first." he chuckled, looking at the unamused look on her faceplate. "Ha-ha, very funny, you're lucky I love you or I'd have smacked that grin off your faceplate. "Hey I'm just saying that you need to at least try and relax, fighting a battle is one thing, looking for a battle is another, slow down and relax a little, enjoy the time we don't have to worry about the cons." he explained, she looked frustratedly and realized he was right.
"Okay, I'll try and relax a little..." she mumbled. He wrapped his left arm around her shoulder and pulled her to him a little more, "Good, cause I wanna see you try to beat my high score." he smirked looking to his recent score he was right below Optimus's high score, but then again nobody had ever managed to beat Optimus. But right below his score was Arcee's. "You beat my high score! How is that possible?" she asked angrily and cunfused. He just laughed, seeing her reaction.
"Now the only way to have your place back is to beat me." he smirked.
"Is that a challenge?" she asked.
"I guess so." he said in a smug tone.
"You know you can be a real aft sometimes." she chuckled along with him.
"Alright, let's do this!" he stated as they walked to the training floor. Blackwolf pressed a button on his side and in the middle of the room formed an energon barrier to split their fighting areas. The mechanical voice of Teletraan 1 announced, "MATCH STARTING IN FIVE SECONDS" "FIVE" they readied themselves. "FOUR"..."THREE"..."TWO"..."ONE"..."BEGIN" the voice said as the vehicon holograms appeared.
Down the holograms fell, one by one, group by group, Blackwolf may have been slower but he was still fast, even for his size, he threw a punch at one, grabbed one behind and slammed it on the ground, he really did fight like a wolf, always aware of his surroundings, when the enemy will strike, and when to strike. Arcee however fought in strive, one by one she struck them down, she may have been small, but if you were hit by one of her roundhouse kicks, you weren't going to see straight for a week.
Blackwolf looked at the scoreboard while fighting, he was winning! But then he thought, while striking at several holograms, "Will she lose her momentum if I win this? Ugh, I'm NEVER going to hear the end of this…she is lucky I love her." he settled. Making one wrong move he missed one of the holograms and he lost points dropping him barely below Arcee. Then a buzzer was heard and the lights came back on, the holograms disappeared. The scoreboard appeared, Arcee's score appeared first, "10,938 Pts." Blackwolf's score appeared next, "10,898"
He shut his eyes, ready for the gloats, when he heard Arcee say nothing. He opened his eyes to see her in front of him. All in one motion, she wrapped her arms around his neck and brought her lips to his. His optics flew open, not expecting what she did, he eventually relaxed into the passionate kiss, closing his eyes, and bringing his servos down to her waist. They finally separated both panting, both from the exhaustion of the match, and the kiss. She leaned to the side of his helm where his ears would be (if either of them were human) and whispered to him, "Thanks for letting me win." His optics showed confusion, but then he melted when she snuggled her helm to his. Just then they heard their comms open, "Arcee? Arcee?" spoke the voice of Ratchet. She growled in frustration with the medic interrupting them…again. This wasn't the first time Ratchet had interrupted them when they were embracing each other. "Yes Ratchet?" she answered frustratedly.
"You and Blackwolf need to get in here, something's happened." he said closing the comm link. She huffed, then looked at Blackwolf seductively, "To be continued." she purred. He let his spark calm down when they walked back to the main room. Everyone was there watching the screen, there was an icon heading into the atmosphere of Earth. "What is it?" asked Arcee.
"It's an unusually very large stasis pod." explained the medic. Blackwolf looked at the size of the Icon got worried about, who or what it was. "Who would be large enough to need a stasis pod that large?" he asked. All of them seemed to think over this, even Optimus seemed to be in thought over this. "Or more importantly is it a bot, or is it a con, or a neutral?" asked Jazz, worried that the large pod carried an EXTREMELY large decepticon.
