I do not own Transformers nor Scooby-Doo.
A few days went by, and Arcee was curled in a fetal position, not by fear but because she was freezing. The door opened, and Megatron came in with something behind his back. He stopped when he was a few feet away from her and said "I was looking around in one of the storage units of the ship when I came across this. I didn't want my queen to become sick while she was pregnant with my most precious warrior" as he pulled out what looked like a mumu. Arcee recognized it as a maternity dress for femmes that were carrying. She couldn't help but wonder where Megatron had gotten such a dress in the first place. The last time maternity dresses were made was when femmes were pregnant with sparklings, and that was before the war. "But before you could try it on, there's something else that needs to be done" said Megatron as he walked closer to Arcee. She was a little bit nervous as she said "And that would be?" before Megatron gripped on a neck cable tightly and yanked on it. Arcee was shocked and passed out as Megatron whispered "I just need to have your weapon systems disabled so you can't run away, my queen."
Arcee awoke hours later, and groaned. The sparkling was kicking hard, so she moved her servos over to her womb. She felt the maternity dress beneath her servos and thought back. She knew that Megatron wouldn't allow her to wear a maternity dress or her armor without having something taken away from her, but what? She had a thought as she tried activating her blasters, but her arms refused to transform. She also tried activating her arm blades, but the too failed. Scrap, Megatron must have had my weaponry disabled. Now what am I going to do? thought Arcee.
Megatron returned a few hours later to his berth chambers, and he saw Arcee looking at herself in a mirror. "So, do you like it?" asked Megatron as he walked over to Arcee and placed his servos at the sides of her womb. "It's lovely, but I couldn't help but notice that the maternity dress was made for a seeker; or at least a femme with larger winglets" said Arcee. Megatron sighed a bit before he moved his servos to cover Arcee's servos. Arcee looked up to find Megatron looking sad and… "Megatron? What is that around your neck?" asked Arcee as she saw something shiny attached to a band circling Megatron's neck. "Nothing" said Megatron as he covered his neck band with a servo. Ever since he came back, Megatron's been acting as if he's having a malfunction in his processor. He's even more fragged in the head than before he was offlined by Unicron. What's going on in your processor, Megatron? thought Arcee.
As Arcee was wondering on what was going on with Megatron, the warlord was lost in thought. She looks so much like Cometstream in that maternity dress. Even though I bought this dress so long ago to match Cometstream's colors, Arcee does look pretty good in it. I'll think that I'll have Arcee repainted to match Cometsteam's colors thought Megatron. Cometsteam's maternity dress (now Arcee's) was silver in the front, while the rest was a silvery black with white-pearl star patterns on it, as two pink steaks ran down on either side of Arcee's winglets.
"Lord Megatron, we're under attack from the Autobots at the mine!" shouted an Eradicon as he came running into the room. Megatron glared at him, before he said "Prepare a ground bridge. Have a few Insecticons come with me to the mines." He looked down at Arcee and said "I'll be back after the battle, and we could cuddle a little when I get back" before he left. Arcee sighed, then looked down at her womb and said "At least we're alone. I hope that Optimus is ok" as she began stroking her womb.
At the mines, Megatron walked out of the ground bridge to find Optimus Prime, Smokescreen, Wheeljack, Bulkhead, and Bumblebee blasting away most of the Eradicons. Optimus locked optics with Megatron, before the two ran to incept each other. The Insecticons roared before they flew off to battle the other Autobots. Megatron and Optimus exchanged blows with their blades in hand-to-hand combat, with neither side gaining the upper hand. "So Prime, what's it like to lose your sparkmate and unborn sparkling to a Decepticon? Arcee has never had such a frag before in her life before she became my berthwarmer. You won't believe how she overloads and screams my name when she's in my berth" said Megatron sinisterly. Optimus got mad, and continued to fight Megatron in a huge rage, with his arm blades slashing against Megatron's blades. "Is that all you got? It seems to me that you don't care about your sparkmate or your sparkling. Was it because she wasn't good enough for you, or is it that she faked overloading too much for you?" laughed Megatron sinisterly. That got Optimus really angry, making him more enraged by the second as he began fighting a little less with honor and more with dishonor. Megatron had to be a little bit more careful as the Prime began fighting more and more like a decepticon.
Megatron sneered before he stabbed Optimus' side with his long arm blades. Optimus gasped, then coughed up energon as Megatron stepped back as he watched the Prime slowly die. "I'd love to stay, but Arcee is busy waiting for me on my berth. I don't want to keep a femme like that disappointed by making her wait" said Megatron before he laughed. "Arcee…no" said Optimus before he lost consciousness as Megatron and the other Decepticons left the mines.
Hours later, Optimus awoke to find himself back at base. "Easy there, Optimus. We nearly lost you several times during the surgery" said Ratchet as he placed a servo on Optimus' shoulder. Optimus looked up at Ratchet and said "It's my entire fault. I shouldn't have allowed Arcee to join the battle. I should have kept her at base where she would have been safe." "Listen, Optimus. If Arcee wasn't on that battlefield, I would have died" said Jack as he leaned on the platform railing. Miko was standing next to Jack, as she looked at Jack with a worried look on her face. She placed a hand on Jack's back as she said "But you feel terrible that Arcee was captured as she protected you" as Jack sighed before he looked down. "I hate that bitch Airachnid. I can't believe that she escaped and ran back to the cons with me as hostage. Now they have Arcee and her sparkling. Who knows what they're doing to her" said Jack with venom in his voice.
Optimus looked at Jack and said "I know your loss, Jack. Arcee was my sparkmate and your protector. She was both our friend and a trusted family member. I was foolish to bond with her all those meta-cycles ago. I should have known that something like this was bound to happen again." "What do you mean by 'again'?" asked Miko. Ratchet looked at Miko for a moment before he said "Arcee wasn't Optimus' first sparkmate, Miko. He was actually bonded to Arcee's sister, Elita-1, back on Cybertron." "He was bonded to Arcee's sister?" said a shocked Jack. Optimus looked at Ratchet and said "Must we talk about this right now?" with a great sorrow in his voice. Ratchet looked down at Optimus and nodded, before returning his gaze to the children. "Optimus can fill you in on the details, but only when he's feeling up to it. He has gone through enough for one day" said Ratchet as he went back to the monitors. Jack looked at Miko as she looked at him as they both had the same thought, Just what did happen back on Cybertron with Optimus?
Back aboard the Nemesis, Megatron was walking back to his own quarters. He wanted to frag Arcee after today's battle, especially after what he told Optimus. He didn't care if Arcee was pregnant with that hostile sparkling; he just wanted to hurt her sexually. As Megatron opened up the doors to his quarters, he saw one really angry femme staring back at him. Her servos were on her hips as she stared at him with unblinking optics. "Hello Arcee, my queen. How are…" was all that Megatron could say before Arcee cut him off. "Don't 'hello Arcee' me, Megatron. I heard what you told Optimus through the spark bond. You only interfaced with me once, and as how I remember it, you were the one screaming but in pain. I didn't even have time to fake a scream with you before you were rushed off to the medical bay. You were so pathetic in berth, Megatron, and don't you forget it" said Arcee as she turned and marched off to the berth. Megatron just stood there rooted on the spot as he took in of what Arcee said, before he walked after her a little bit steamed. "Don't forget about it? Listen you little excuse for a warrior, I fragged with many femmes in my lifetime, so I don't see why..." was all that Megatron said before Arcee clawed at his optics.
He snarled a bit, before he saw one really pissed-off femme staring at him very angrily. "Don't you dare try anything" hissed Arcee as her optics narrowed in pure hate. Megatron growled, before walking off to the couch in his berthroom. He reclined on it as he stared at Arcee taking the berth, hogging all of the sheets and the berth itself. Megatron knew better than to fight a pissed-off femme as he offlined his optics and fell into stasis. Arcee was on her back as she rubbed her womb with her servos as a few energon tears fell. She wanted Optimus so bad, and she didn't want this monster to raise her sparkling. She felt the sparkling kick around as it moved. Some parts of her ached from being so swollen, as her body prepared for the birth that was going to occur in a few short months. I have no idea on how Berserk was able to live for six months by herself when she ran away while pregnant thought Arcee as sleep overcame the Autobot.
"Come on, Arcee. Just push a little bit more" said Optimus as he held Arcee's servo. Arcee pushed a little bit more as she was giving birth to the sparkling. She was trying to give birth to the sparkling for the last fifty-eight hours, and she was exhausted. "Come on, please be born" said Arcee as she continued to push. After one final scream, Arcee had her sparkling come out. Exhausted, she passed out as she saw that she gave birth to baby Ravage…
Arcee woke up days later, and found the entire base in ruins. Struggling to move her legs, Arcee got off the berth and began to walk around the base. There were splatters of energon everywhere, but no bodies of Autobot or human. What is going on? wondered Arcee as she continued to walk around and then down a dark hallway. She heard something coming down the hallway, and Arcee froze. Whatever it was, it was big. "Hello?" said Arcee, but there was no answer. "Is anybody there?" said Arcee before a loud roar answered her. Terrified, Arcee turned around and ran as fast as she could before whatever that thing was could catch her.
When she was outside the base, Arcee turned around to find two red eyes glaring at her before another roar answered her. The thing then jumped out of the tunnel, and Arcee found her helm between the thing's jaws. She felt her helm crush beneath the powerful jaws as everything grew dark…
Megatron jolted awake as Arcee screamed. "What is it now?" groaned Megatron as he walked over to the berth. Arcee was crying with her faceplates in her servos as she was sobbing uncontrollably. Risking Arcee clawing out his optics, Megatron sat on the berth with Arcee and placed a servo on her back. She looked up tear-stained at Megatron as he rubbed her back. "Want to talk about it?" asked Megatron.
After a moment of silence, Arcee nodded as she was pulled to Megatron's side as she told him of the dream that she had. "…and then this thing came out of the shadows and had me in its jaws as it was crushing my helm. I never saw something so horrible before in my dreams. It was worse than Airachnid when she tried to kill June" cried Arcee before she buried her faceplates into Megatron's chassis. Megatron stroked her winglets with one servo as he allowed Arcee to cry into his chassis. "Shh, let it out Arcee, let it out" said Megatron softly. Megatron was patient as Arcee continued to cry for the next hour, before exhaustion overcame her and she fell into stasis. Gently placing Arcee on her side, Megatron lowered himself and wrapped his arms around Arcee as he held her close to him. Stasis overcame him as he felt Arcee tremble before she relaxed.
Arcee found herself in the middle of the desert when she noticed something standing next to her. Turning her helm, she found a brown four-legged organic creature looking at her while wagging its tail. "Who are you?" asked Arcee. "My name's Scooby-Doo" said the creature. The creature playfully placed its paws on Arcee's shoulders before he licked her face. "Ugh, enough" said Arcee as her faceplates were covered in drool. Scooby-Doo dismounted Arcee, and then began walking. Shrugging, Arcee followed Scooby-Doo through the desert until they came across some footprints. Scooby sniffed the footprints and said "A clue" before he began following them. Arcee felt obligated to follow Scooby as he followed the footprints through the desert.
After two hours of walking, they came to some cliffs, where Scooby stopped and snarled. "What is it?" asked Arcee. "Something's there" said Scooby as he stared at the top of the cliff. She looked up, and saw something move out of sight. "What the…?" said Arcee before something jumped and landed on the femme. Scooby ran into it, pushing the thing off Arcee. Scooby was protecting Arcee as the femme looked at the thing, and saw a gigantic robotic cat staring at them. Energon leaked from its mouth as it roared and then charged at Arcee and Scooby. Scooby stood his ground before his appearance became more metallic and bulkier. Metallic Scooby held off the cat-beast as the both of them as Arcee felt herself become trapped in sinking sand. The sand sprouted metallic tentacles as they strapped Arcee to the ground before everything grew dark…
The darkness clouded Arcee's vision for a while before it grew lighter. She found herself strapped to a berth, and then heard Knockout's laugh. He came out from the shadows, and stared at Arcee. Arcee tried to move, but Knockout laughed again before he got on top of her. He pressed his helm against her helm and said "Are you ready to have some fun, my little motorcycle?" Arcee widened her eyes in fright as Knockout began ripping off both of their armor…
Arcee woke up with a jolt as she gained awareness of her surroundings. She noticed Megatron's arms were around her, and she relaxed. Strangely, she felt safer in Megatron's arms than not having him around. She noticed a weird metallic pendant around Megatron's neck, and Arcee moved closer to inspect it. She noticed it from earlier that day, but she had a strange feeling that she saw it someplace else as well. The letters "SD" were on it, and Arcee thought for a moment before she realized that she saw the same neck band and pendant from her dream with Scooby-Doo. "Megatron, just who are you?" whispered Arcee before she heard a low growl, and she turned her helm slightly to find Megatron staring at her. He pushed himself up and moved himself until her was only inches away from her faceplates. "Just what are you doing?" snarled Megatron as Arcee felt fear race up and down her spine. Without warning, Megatron pinned Arcee down to the berth with him on top staring down into Arcee's optics.
Arcee felt afraid, and flinched as she looked away, expecting the worse. Oddly, she felt Megatron nuzzle her side helm crests with his lips. Carefully, she onlined one optic, only to find Megatron in an affectionate mood. Arcee was baffled, before Megatron whispered in her audios "I saw your dreams Arcee. I was once Scooby-Doo in a past life" before he resumed nibbling on her side helm crests. That stunned Arcee as her spark skipped a beat. "You, you were Scooby-Doo in a past life?" stammered Arcee. Megatron nodded as he resumed nibbling on her side crests again. "How were you a…a…whatever it was in a past life?" said Arcee. Megatron sighed, and then said "It's part of a long story, Arcee. I'm not in the mood to talk about it tonight." She looked at him, and was silent before she felt one of Megatron's servos move someplace. "Megatron, will you stop doing that?" said Arcee. Megatron smirked, and then continued to nibble on her side crests. "Remember what happened last time?" said Arcee before he stopped. "You know how to ruin a mech's good time, don't you, my queen?" said Megatron. Arcee smirked, then nuzzled against his chassis and said "You know I do."
Author's note: We looked into Arcee's dreams here. As for the monster in her dreams, we'll find out who that is soon.
