I do not own Transformers (except for Pulse and Vicarious) and I don't own Scooby-Doo.

Several days had passed since Vicarious had left the med bay, but he hasn't come out of his room. Arcee was starting to worry about her son, as she rubbed her stomach. She sighed, then offlined her optics as she thought again. How can I be a good creator if I failed Vicarious? He is Optimus' sparkling…or was. I only knew him from when he was inside my womb, and now…he's something else. He's some sort of Decepticon with Dark Energon in his body, but…the sparkling that was once in my womb must be inside of him somewhere. If Shockwave was unable to change his Prime coding, does it mean that a part of him is still Optimus' son? If he is, does he still want me as his creator, after what he's seen of me? Does he even care about me anymore? Would he even want to know of what I was like before I became Megatron's whore? Does he even want to know who his sire is? If any of these questions are no, then, what am I? Am I the same Autobot that failed Ravage in my dreams? Was it even a dream…or perhaps a warning of things that will come? If it was a warning, then, am I doomed to have dead sparklings? Can they even be born and have healthy lives, or are theirs going to be just as ruined as mine? Was this existence even worth all of this just to ensure that Jack would survive another day? I wish that I had Ravage with me on the day that Berserk and Soundwave left for…whatever Primus-forsaken place they're trapped in. I wish that I had somebody to answer my questions. Thoughts soon gave way to sleep as Arcee began to dream.

It was dusk when Arcee found herself in the middle of a vast desert. She began walking and walking to some unknown destination. She walked on for days, but the sun never set lower, nor did it rise higher in the sky. She eventually came across the Nemesis in the desert, but this one was different from the one that she saw on both Cybertron and Earth. She walked closer to it, and found a huge gaping hole in it. Gathering up her courage, she entered it, and she looked around. Rotting and decaying wires hung from the rusted metal as vines, lichens, and moss grew on the metal. She walked further inside the ship, and she found an adult Ravage standing nearby a monitor with a bundle of blankets. "Hello, Arcee" she said. She then turned her head, and smiled at the motorcycle. "Come closer" she said in a soft voice.

Arcee walked closer, and Ravage smiled as she said "I know that you question your role as a creator. My parents question theirs all of the time, but they all love myself and my siblings just the same as you loved me." She handed Arcee the bundle of blankets, and hesitantly, the femme took them from the cat. "What am I supposed to do with these?" asked Arcee as she looked up from the blankets, but found Ravage gone. A small clicking sound came from the bundle, and Arcee began unwrapping the blankets. When she found the last one, she saw a small sparkling with one optic, white armor, four arms, and a tail. As mysterious as she looked, she was perhaps the most beautiful sparkling that Arcee ever saw. "Just who are you?" asked Arcee as she placed a digit near the sparkling for it to hold. The sparkling laughed, and Arcee couldn't help but smile.

A sudden screaming scared Arcee as the sparkling began crying. Holding the sparkling close to her, Arcee transformed her arm into a blaster as she took careful steps around the ship. She searched every room, but found nothing. Eventually, she came to the control center, and she found Vicarious lying on the ground in a pool of energon as a gigantic Cybertronian Tyrannosaurus stared down at him as drool dripped down from his jaws. "Vicarious!" screamed Arcee as she ran as fast as she could, but time seemed to slow down as the Tyrannosaurus reached down with its jaws and ripped a huge section out of Vicarious' midsection. "NO!" screamed Arcee as she saw her son open his mouth in a silent scream of pain. Arcee kept on running, then jumped as she kicked the Tyrannosaurus on the side of its head with her pede. She landed in a crouched position as the beast lost its balance and crashed through the windows of the ship and pummeled to the ground below. Turning around, Arcee approached her son and placed a servo on his neck. He seemed to be in immense pain and his breathing was labored as his jaws moved, but was unable to form speech. "Vicarious?" asked Arcee, before her son stopped moving, and the light faded from his optics. "Vicarious?" asked Arcee again as tears leaked out of her optics, before her son dissolved into the air. "VICARIOUS!" screamed Arcee as she began crying uncontrollably.

A sudden feeling came from her midsection as Arcee cried, but it became weirder and weirder, as if her stomach was swelling up. Through tear-blurred optics, Arcee looked down, and found her midsection swollen. She wiped her tears away with an arm, and saw that her midsection was swelling up at an accelerated rate. With every second, her midsection seemed to swell to twice its size, and the femme felt some pain coming from it. She leaned back, and placed the bundle with the white sparkling next to her. The tiny femme raised its long neck at Arcee as the older femme saw her abdomen become larger and larger, and then felt a sensation that forced her legs apart. Arcee screamed, but no sound came out, as she began giving birth again. Something pushed its way out, and the femme looked down at what was between her legs. A black sparkling with large spikes and long golden horns stared up at her. "Vicarious?" asked Arcee as the little mech gave off a chirp. Wrapping her arms around him, Arcee pulled her son close and kissed him on his helm. "I promise to never leave you again" said Arcee as the sparkling chirped at his creator.

Arcee awoke with a start, and felt her stomach. Her abdomen was as flat as before her pregnancy, and she felt a twinge of disappointment in her systems. She sighed, then offlined her optics as she thought about the dream. She then got off the berth, and then began to look for Vicarious.

The Prime was in his room, not caring on what was happening in the world outside of his room when he heard a knocking at the door. "Go away" he muttered before he heard knocking again. Vicarious waited until who knocked left, and Vicarious sighed. He was really beginning to hate being with the Decepticons.

The next day, Vicarious heard knocking at his door again. Vicarious waited, but the knocking wouldn't leave this time. Grumbling, he got up and opened the door. He saw Arcee standing outside his room, before he growled at her "What do you want?" "I just wanted to talk to you about…what you saw" said Arcee. His body slouching, Vicarious led the femme in his room, and she sat on the berth. Vicarious crawled up on the berth, and rested on his stomach, with his head pointing downwards. He felt a small servo on his arm, as Arcee said "There is much to talk about, Vicarious." "What is there to talk about? A short time ago, I found out that my mother is a whore. She said the filthiest things that I've ever heard, and she expects me to respect her. I'm sorry Mom, but after what I saw, there is nothing more to say" said Vicarious.

Arcee was silent for a moment, and then said "You are partly wrong, Vicarious. I am a whore, Megatron's whore, but he's the one that made me this way." Vicarious pushed himself up, and looked at Arcee straight in the optics, and then said "He made you this way?" Arcee nodded, and then said "Before I was Megatron's personal pleasurebot, I was a great warrior. I fought for the Autobots, and I hated Megatron. I was one of the most feared Autobots by the Decepticons." "What happened?" asked Vicarious. She sighed, then looked into her son's optics and said "I got captured by the Decepticons while I was pregnant with you. I was trying to protect my human partner, and he was in great danger. I couldn't imagine what would have happened if he died, but now…" she fell silent for a while before she resumed "Now I question if I made the right choice. I'm constantly raped by Megatron, and…Shockwave experimented on you. I'm concerned of what's going to happen to us."

The femme began crying, as Vicarious wrapped an arm around his mother, and then said "I'm sorry that I called you a whore, Mom. I had no idea of what Megatron did." The mech was silent for a moment, then looked down at his mother and asked "You said that you were pregnant with me when you got captured by Megatron, right?" "Yes, it is" said Arcee. "If Megatron isn't my father, then who is he?" asked Vicarious. Arcee placed a servo on Vicarious' cheek and said "Megatron has told me to never tell you this, but Optimus Prime is your sire." Vicarious was in shock, before a loud voice boomed "ARCEE! I TOLD YOU TO NEVER TELL VICARIOUS ABOUT HIS PAST!" Arcee cringed at the voice, as Megatron burst through the doors and stomped his way over to the berth.

Vicarious held his mother to his chassis as Megatron glared at the two. With one servo, he yanked on Arcee's winglets as hard as he could. "YAAAAAAHHHHHHAAAAA!" screamed Arcee as she was pulled backwards by Megatron and was left dangling from her winglet. "For what you told Vicarious, I'm going to frag you so hard that your legs would be rendered unusable for the next six vorns" snarled Megatron. Vicarious was shocked one moment, and then he snarled in rage "You leave Mom alone!" The next moment, Megatron found himself embedded into the wall as part of his chassis was caving inwards. Vicarious knew how to ram, and with full force.

Arcee was curled up into a ball from fright, as her winglet was dented in the most painful way as it twitched from fright. Seeing an enraged Vicarious before him, Megatron could only do the only thing that he could do: he whined like a wounded dog. His optics being fierce and full of rage one second, they now showed fear and cowardly emotions with some pain in them. Vicarious let off a warning growl in rage, but he cocked his head in curiosity at Megatron's reaction. Then the unthinkable happened: Megatron began crying. This reaction caused Arcee to raise her head and look at Megatron in shock (but, she still trembled from the pain that Megatron gave to her winglet.)

Trembling as she got to her legs, Arcee stood and looked at Megatron as her injured winglet twitched. Slowly, she inched towards the war tyrant and placed a servo on his chassis. Forcing herself to speak, Arcee asked "Megatron, is…is it the Scooby-Doo part of you taking over again?" Looking directly in her optics, Megatron whined "No, he's not taking over again…he always was a conscious part of me since I came back." "Who's Scooby-Doo?" asked Vicarious. Arcee looked at her son and said "Scooby-Doo was a past life of Megatron. I saw him in a dream once with Megatron." Vicarious cocked his head, as Arcee continued "Sometimes, both Megatron and I share dreams when he makes me rub my spark against his. It's a bit of a psychic link that mates can share together, but in this case, it's an after-effect of touching sparks. Your sire and I used to have a lot of dreams together by rubbing our sparks together, but since it's been over two years, I haven't had him comfort me in my sleep."

Looking back at Megatron, Arcee asked "You said that Scooby-Doo was always a conscious part of you. I haven't seen much of his influence besides in your dreams. Why do you say that he's a conscious part of you?" Megatron sighed, and then said "I say that he's a conscious part of my spark because I still possess his memories and emotions. I just act to pretend that I'm the old me before I died because I'm under tremendous pressure. The Decepticons need a ruthless tyrant, and I'll become the laughing stock if they knew that I'm not the old me. I'm always thinking of my old human friend Shaggy, and there's not a mega-cycle that goes by when I'm not thinking of him. With me being Scooby-Doo, I realized that I was lonely and I found out that I was blessed to be among humans for many years. I see why Optimus doesn't want to drive humans to extinction. I would do anything to have my old life as Scooby-Doo back than to live out my life as Megatron. I was truly happy to be a dog than to be a war tyrant. You won't believe how much I miss playing fetch, or chasing squirrels, or having my belly rubbed, or chewing on bones, or solving mysteries with my old human friends. Ever since I came back, I had no idea on how much I hated this life. I don't see any reason to continue this stupid war. Cybertron is dead, we're forced to live on Earth, Vicarious is the only sparkling in Primus knows how long, and our race as Cybertronians is nearly extinct. The only reason that I'm keeping the war going is that I know that the Decepticons will dismantle me, and I know that there will be infighting over a new leader to lead the Decepticons." That's when Megatron broke down crying again.

"You fragger" snarled Arcee. She slapped him hard before she began screaming at him "You could have ended the war, but you kept it going? And, you took me as your mate and raped me for no reason? You ruined my life! I fragging hate you!" That's when Vicarious spoke "If you stepped down as leader, would Shockwave have taken over as leader?" With a pained look, Megatron looked at Vicarious, and then nodded as he said "There's a good chance." Vicarious had a pure look of horror on his faceplates, and then said "Then, I'm glad that you're still in charge." Arcee turned around, and then began screaming at her son "What do you mean that you're glad that Megatron's still the leader? He raped me, made the Autobots think that I'm a whore, and caused me to become sterile. Why the frag would Shockwave be any worse than him? I fought Shockwave before, and don't get me wrong about him having a cruel spark, but how is he worse than this fragging piece of scrap here?" Vicarious winced from Arcee screaming so loud, then he said gently "Mom, you don't know Shockwave like I do. He considered me a malfunction and he nearly offlined me. I saw him dissect many humans while I was still in his lab. They all screamed in pain, but he tortured them like they were nothing. I never heard such screams like that before in my life. Just imagine him taking over the Decepticons. Who knows what he could do?"

"I imagine that he would make a more effective leader than our current obsolete leader" said Shockwave in the doorway. Vicarious, Arcee, and Megatron turned their helms and saw not only Shockwave, but Dreadwing, Starscream, Knockout, and a number of Vehicons and Insecticons with him. "I can't believe that I served you" snarled Dreadwing. Starscream shook his helm, and then said "I must congratulate you, Megatron. When it comes to hiding your true intentions, you're a better actor than I am." "Arrest all of them, Vehicons" ordered Shockwave as the Vehicons armed themselves with their blasters.

Much later, Megatron, Arcee, and Vicarious were flying in the sky to get as far away from the Nemesis as possible. Vicarious proved himself to be a true killing machine by tearing apart all of the advancing Vehicons and Insecticons. Dreadwing suffered having his arm torn off him, Knockout's armor needed to be replaced, Starscream had his wings torn off, and Arcee managed to give Shockwave a good kick in his optic. The kick from Arcee had to be without question the most hilarious kick ever in the universe, because the femme had difficulty jumping due to her oversized chassis, and her winglets made balance unstable. What made Shockwave get a broken optic was when he saw Arcee lose her balance, and he got a very good look at her crotch area before her pede broke his optic.

Arcee was holding on to dear life on Megatron as her servos gripped his armor in his flight mode. Megatron wasn't complaining; after all, he felt her soft breasts press against his armor. In the months following Vicarious' birth, Megatron had special pleasurebot armor crafted for Arcee. Her chassis armor was low cut, allowing a mech to get a good look at her cleavage, and her crotch armor was thong-like (hence, why Shockwave was immobile when he saw Arcee's crotch area.) "Megatron, I don't mean to complain, but how much longer are we going to fly?" asked Arcee. "Until we're far enough from the Nemesis, Arcee. Just why are you asking me this?" asked Megatron. "If you really must know, ice is starting to crystalize on me" said the femme. "I don't see any ice forming on you, Arcee" said Megatron. "It's in an area that Shockwave saw earlier" said Arcee as she blushed a bit. Megatron was silent for a second, before he said "Oh. Is it painful there?" Arcee just gave him this glare, and then said "I am not answering that, Megatron."

Back at the Autobot base, Miko was resting on her bed, with the sheets only up to her belly-button. One of her arms was behind her head, as she stared at Jack. Both of his arms were behind his head, and the sheets were partly up his pelvic region. "Thinking of your mother again?" asked Miko. Jack sighed, then said "Life's not fair, Miko. First, we lost Arcee to the Decepticons, then Mom got taken, and later on, we found out that Arcee was Megatron's bitch. Who knows what is happening to Mom now. Is she facing the same torture as Arcee, or is she…?" before he broke down crying. Miko pushed herself up, and then pulled Jack into her E-cup breasts. "Shh, Jack. Let it all out, let it all out. You still have me, and I promise that I'll always look after you. You're my mate, Jack, and I'm your mate as well. I won't allow anything bad to happen to you anymore. We'll find your mother and get her back someday" said Miko before she lowered her head and whispered a dirty promise into Jack's ear. Miko then closed her eyes and moaned softly as she felt Jack's tongue lick her affectionately to tell her that he appreciated her.

Back at Fast Willy's house, June was lying on the bed. Willy was with Vince in the living room, and Sierra was in there with them as well. June was busy thinking about her son, and wondering what he was doing now. She greatly missed him as she began to cry. She always thought that she was the one taking care of her son, but ever since she was taken by Fast Will, she was the one who needed to be looked after. Her son, on the other hand, seemed to be able to take care of himself. Her son has his own 'wife' now, and he is already a man.

Sierra was with her boyfriend Vince as both he and Fast Willy were talking. Even though both she and Vince were still under 21, they both were drinking already. Some of the hard liquor would make her pass out, and she would wake up the next day naked with a naked yet satisfied Vince next to her. "So, a few weeks ago, I managed to get this hot lady to be my own personal prostitute" said Fast Willy. "Is she tight and are they firm, or is she loose and do they sag?" asked Vince. Fast Will shook his head, and then said "She has got to be the hottest and tightest MILF on the planet, Vince. One look at her, and you'd think that she was a porn star." "That hot?" said Vince as he raised an eyebrow. "Yeah, and you might even know her son. He was in the same grade as you were, and she said that his name was…" said Fast Willy as he paused a bit, then said "Jack, Jackson Darby." Vince wasn't expecting that as he spewed his beer out of his nose and mouth as he coughed and said "Jack Darby? I just met him a few weeks ago, and you won't believe the girl that he bagged." "Is she hot?" asked Willy. "Know on how those Japanese pornographic movies are done? With her breasts, you'd think that she'd come out of one of those films" said Vince. Hearing enough of the conversation, Sierra got up to use the bathroom. She really didn't want to hear the rest of the conversation.

After using the bathroom, she saw Fast Willy's bedroom door open ajar, and she peeked inside. She saw June Darby sleeping on Willy's bed, with the sheets pulled up around her in an attempt to keep her warm. Woah, Jack. Your mom is beautiful thought Sierra as she saw June breathe in and out gently in her sleep. June then turned in her sleep, and Sierra thought that she heard "Please Willy, don't make me wear that while…" before she fell silent again.

A few fingers brushed against the hairs on her neck before she felt Vince's lips kiss her on the back of her neck as he said "Sierra, how I wish that I could take you now and bang you on Willy's couch." Sierra closed her eyes as she held back a moan and said softly to him "Have you seen Jack's mom?" For a moment, Vince stopped what he was doing and peeked in the room with Sierra at June. He went back to nibbling Sierra's neck as he said "Mmmhmmm, she's a hot MILF. Fast Willy's lucky to get her." "Yeah, talk about an once-in-a-lifetime chance that I got her as my prize" said Fast Willy as he came up behind Vince. "I wish that I had teachers that hot when I was younger" said Vince as he turned around and looked at Fast Willy. "Ah, the 'hot-teacher-when-I-was-younger-fantasy' dreams. Those are so good" said Fast Willy, before he said "How about I wake her up and have her serve us some liquor so you two can see how hot she is when she's not sleeping." "Good one, Willy" said Vince as he pulled Sierra by the wrist to the living room as Fast Willy went into his room.

They both heard June scream as Fast Willy hit her and began screaming at her. Sierra froze for a moment, as Vince snickered. Her eyes widened as she heard June's screaming, before she heard Willy shout "I told you, I want you to wear the white Playboy Bunny corset and white fishnet stockings, gloves, ears, and black boots!" A sickening slap was heard as they both heard Willy shout "And you better do it quick, or I'll have you entertain both Vince and myself with the vibrator again!" Sierra froze on the spot as she heard what Fast Willy shouted. Vince stopped, then turned around and looked at Sierra. "Sierra?" asked Vince. Not getting a response out of her, he caressed her cheek with some of his fingers. "Hmm?" she said. "Are you ok?" asked Vince. She breathed in, and then said "Aren't you worried that Jack's mother is being raped and abused against her own will?" Vince snorted, and then said "You know as well as I do how much I hate Jack. If anything, his whore of a mother should be punished by Willy." Sierra gasped as she placed a hand over her mouth at what Vince said.

"The bitch will be here in a moment with some liquor. What is wrong with her?" asked Fast Willy. "She's just concerned about Jack's mother" said Vince. Fast Willy snorted, and then said "If anything, I saved her tight pussy from being fucked by that fat bastard. If anybody deserves to have his cock around her hot pussy, it's mine." "Well, since she's yours, I would like to get back at Jack by fucking his mother" said Vince. Fast Willy laughed, then said "You know as well as I do that she's mine." "Well, we could make a deal; you let me fuck Jack's mother, and you can fuck Sierra" said Vince as Sierra just stared at Vince. "Hmm, fucking a cheerleader…you won't believe how long I waited to something as exciting as that" said Fast Willy. "Just be sure not to stretch out her pussy too much; after all, I'm still using it" said Vince. "How…how…HOW COULD YOU AGREE TO SOMETHING LIKE THAT, VINCE? I CAN'T BELIVE THAT I MADE LOVE TO YOU AS MUCH AS I DID!" shouted Sierra. Vince just snorted, and then said "Listen, Sierra. This is a little bit of revenge for me to get back at Jack. Of course, banging his girlfriend in front of him would be just as good, but fucking his mother is a close second."

Hours later, Sierra was up in the kitchen drinking some Jagermeister liquor. Willy was brutal on her, and she had some bruises on her to prove it. She cried at what Vince agreed to. "Sierra, would you like some company?" asked June as she walked into the kitchen. She was wearing the Playboy Bunny suit from earlier, but she had some new bruises on her. Sierra looked up at June before she began crying again. June pulled up a chair, and sat down next to her as she placed a hand on her back. "Would you like to talk about it?" asked June. Sierra nodded, then looked up at June with tear-stained eyes and said "I can't believe how much of a jerk that Vince is. I loved him, but now…" as she broke down crying again. June pulled Sierra close, and placed her chin on top of her head as she stroked her hair. June felt a tear run down her cheek as she thought back to when she was in love with her old husband…

A week has passed, and Megatron, Arcee, and Vicarious had finally found a place to hide. It was in the deserts surrounding Las Vegas, but they finally found peace (or temporarily.) Megatron was staring out at the abandoned city from where he rested, and he was stroking Arcee. She cooed as Megatron stroked her horn, and the other was holding her gently. Vicarious was in the city, scouring for materials that they could use. He was very careful to not touch Arcee's damaged winglet (it hasn't been repaired since they escaped the Nemesis.) He still had chassis pains from where Vicarious damaged him, so he sometimes had difficulty breathing at times.

Vicarious was looking around Las Vegas, and he saw hints that there was still some human life remaining in the city (but just barely.) He then heard a weird whirling-like noise and a green light. Sensors alerting a presence coming, Vicarious ran and hid behind one of the buildings as he saw a silver car with a checker pattern drive out. The bridge behind the car closed, and the car drove down the street. Curious on what this car could want, Vicarious followed, but from the sky as he scaled the buildings and leapt from rooftop to rooftop.

"So, what are Miko and you planning to do, Jack?" asked Smokescreen as he drove the couple deeper into Las Vegas. "A little alone time, a chance to relax, and to hopefully have a happy honeymoon while scavenging for useful supplies" said Jack as he placed an arm around Miko. He also hoped to find the perfect ring to give to Miko since she was now his wife. When June was taken from the Autobots, Jack was so distraught with grief that he was unable to think straight for a while. It took a lot of thought, but Miko decided to ask if Jack would actually marry her. He was in shock from what Miko said, so he remained silent for a week while thinking it over. He came to his senses after much thought, and he actually proposed to her. Optimus (being the leader) officially wedded them, and now the couple was on their honeymoon. What better way to celebrate than to go to one of the most popular holiday spots before the apocalypse?

Vicarious trailed them for twenty minutes, until he stopped and saw the silver car pull up at Caesar's Palace. He saw two humans get out of the car as it transformed, and then the three of them went up to the hotel. The mech in the group went around the casino to find a way in, and he saw the garage. Vicarious decided to get closer to the group and jumped down from where he was and walked to the hotel.

Miko was laying on one of the beds in the hotel, as Jack rubbed her stomach with his hand. "Mmmm, so want to make love now, or tour around the city and then make love to me?" asked Miko. Jack lowered his head and began kissing her neck as he said "Mmmmm, I'll think that we'll make love first, and then tour the city, and then we'll top it off by making love again." Miko couldn't help but smile as she took off her shirt. Jack then took off his shirt, and then unbuckled his pants. Miko then unbuckled hers, and let Jack pull them off along with her underwear. Jack then removed his pants and his underwear, as Miko sat up and undid her bra. She smiled seductively as she saw Jack get an erection of what he saw, and then she leaned close and kissed him. He kissed her back as his tongue opened her mouth up, and she moved her tongue into his mouth. Little did they know they had a single audience watching them.

"GAAAAHHHAAA! THIS IS AS BAD AS WHEN I WALKED IN ON MY MOTHER!" screamed Vicarious as he lost his grip on the building and fell down to the ground below. Miko screamed as she covered up her breasts with her arms and Jack pulled her close as his eyes widened in fear. Smokescreen heard the screaming, then transformed and raced to the scene. He saw Vicarious lying on the ground, but passed out. The Autobot's arms transformed into blasters as he held them up in defense as he shook nervously. He was tense as he remembered the wounds that he received from the large mech, and thought back to when he was taken back to the base. Ratchet needed help from Bumblebee in just keeping Optimus, Bulkhead, and Smokescreen online, and they were unable to fight for several weeks. "Just a little while longer, and I'll offline the mech who defeated Optimus" said Smokescreen as he inched closer to Vicarious.

A sudden instinct kicked in Arcee as she looked towards Las Vegas. She tried to leave Megatron's grip, but the former warlord held her close as he asked "Arcee, what's wrong my queen?" "First of all, I'm not your queen, and secondly, I'm getting the feeling that Vicarious is in trouble" said the femme. "How could you sense that your sparkling is in trouble? You haven't had any strong bonds with him after you gave birth" asked Megatron. Arcee stopped moving, then looked up at Megatron and said "I don't know why, but it's somehow creator instinct that's telling me that my sparkling is in trouble." Megatron listened, and then said "I'll come with you then. If he is in trouble, then he needs some backup." He transformed, and Arcee grabbed hold of Megatron as he took off for Las Vegas.

Back at the hotel, Jack and Miko had managed to get dressed and were outside the hotel staring at Vicarious as Smokescreen found his neck gripped in the mech's servo. Vicarious growled as his optics glowed a bright blue as his gaze shifted from the Autobot to the humans. "You think that you can get away with defeating the Autobots? I haven't forgotten when you defeated Bulkhead. You'll never get away with this, NEVER!" shouted Miko as Jack dragged her backwards, away from Vicarious. "Miko, its bad enough that I've lost Arcee to the Decepticons, but I don't need to lose you too!" shouted Jack. Vicarious cocked his head, then released Smokescreen from his grip and said "You knew my mom?" Smokescreen, Miko, and Jack all focused their attention on Vicarious in shock.

A roaring of jets caught their attention as Arcee leapt down and Megatron transformed. "Arcee?" said Jack. "Jack?" said Arcee. "You know each other?" asked Vicarious. Arcee rubbed the back of her helm as she looked away, then looked back into Vicarious' optics and said "I did. He was my partner, my human partner on the Autobot's side of the war before Megatron…well, you know." Vicarious gave a nod, and then looked at Megatron. "Why must you destroy my mother's life?" asked Vicarious to Megatron. Megatron looked down and fiddled his digits a bit but said nothing.

Smokescreen placed his fists on his hips and said "Is it just me, or is Megatron different from the first two years that I fought him?" "It's not you, Smokescreen. Megatron never acted like this when I met him four years ago. He never was, well…insecure. The one I met was a ferocious warlord that had no conscious to get what he wanted to get done, even if it meant offlining a few of his minions to get an energon source. He was ruthless, and he tried to destroy the Earth a few times. This one…well, he's even more immature than you, Smokescreen" said Jack as Smokescreen said "Hey!" "That's because he became a dog after he died fighting Unicron" said Arcee. Both Jack and Miko looked up at Arcee as Miko said "What?"

Megatron then told everybody that he was Scooby-Doo in a past life as a punishment for what he did as Megatron. Jack, Miko, and Smokescreen just stared at Megatron before Miko broke down laughing. "You-you w-were a-a-a dog? That has got to be the funniest thing that I've ever heard" laughed Miko. "Laugh all you want. Need I remind you that I can squash you like a tiny insect" snarled Megatron. Vicarious stared at the humans as Jack looked up at him, then looked at Arcee and asked "So, what is his story?" Arcee sighed, then said "Vicarious is both my and Optimus' sparkling." "WHAT?" shouted Jack and Smokescreen at the same time. Vicarious looked down, as Arcee placed a servo on his shoulder, then looked back at Jack and said "He is the same sparkling that I was pregnant with when Megatron captured me. Shockwave experimented on him when he was only a month old, hence why he's like this." "You mean big and scary-looking?" asked Smokescreen. Arcee shook her helm, then said "I mean on why he's reluctant to fight at times and why he's an adult, but still has the mentality of a sparkling. He still is a Prime, plus he still has the spark of a Prime, and the potential to be a great Prime. He just needs Optimus' help in getting there."

"You forgot to mention that I had Shockwave infuse Dark Energon into his systems, and that he's been uploaded with multiple warrior skills" said Megatron. Arcee turned her helm and glared at Megatron, but said nothing. "Dark Energon? You mean his energon is deadly to the touch?" said Smokescreen. "It is?" said Vicarious as he turned his helm from Smokescreen to Megatron. Megatron once again rubbed the back of his helm, and then said "Well, it's very deadly for most transformers, but it's fatal for any flesh life forms." Vicarious then looked down at his claws and said "So, I was never meant to be a gentle being? I was only designed for war?" "I wanted you to be a great Decepticon, Vicarious. After you defeated the Autobots, we would take over this world and rule it" said Megatron. Vicarious then looked at the warlord and said "But, I don't want to be a ruthless monster. I want to be…I don't know." Arcee continued to stare at Megatron, then said "It's bad enough that you ruined my life, but now I see that you ruined my sparkling's life as well. Just how many more lives are you planning on ruining before this war is over?"

Ratchet was at the Autobot base when he received a comm link from Smokescreen. "Smokescreen has a problem arisen?" asked Ratchet. "No, we're fine. Jack and Miko are planning on staying for the rest of the week, but I need a Ground Bridge to bring back some new recruits and an old one." "New recruits? But, there hasn't been any new signs of incoming signals, Autobot or Decepticon" said Ratchet. "Well…one of them is Arcee" said Smokescreen before Ratchet said "I am not bringing that whore back to our base. She's been interfacing with Megatron and perhaps the entire Decepticon crew. Who knows if she's pregnant with one of their Primus-forsaken spawn." "Mom, you aren't pregnant, are you?" said a voice as Arcee said "No Vicarious. Ratchet was just trying to prove a point. He's just upset about…with me and Megatron…" "Yeah. I saw you…I still have nightmares about it" said the first voice. "She wasn't interfacing with Megatron, right?" said Smokescreen. "No, no. I saw her on the berth, and she…she wasn't in her armor and she also said some of the filthiest things that I've ever heard" said the first voice.

This has to be the scariest transmission that I've ever heard thought Ratchet as he heard Megatron's voice say "Come to think of it, you never said any filthy things when we shared the berth. Did you pick them up from Starscream, or where those things you saved only from Optimus' audios." "This isn't helping!" shouted the first voice. "Ratchet, just what are you listening to?" asked Rafael as he walked in on the scene. Raf was fifteen years old, and his hair had grown out a little bit longer, plus he was also more muscular than what he'd used to be. Ratchet pinched the bridge of his nose, and then said "I'm just listening to Smokescreen with Megatron, Arcee, and somebody else on the other line. It is, by far, the most disturbing transmission that I've heard in my entire life, except for the time when I once heard Optimus interfacing Arcee on a comm link. I warned him not to get so high on the high grade energon." "Wait, Optimus did what?" said Smokescreen as the first voice said "Mom, please tell me that this isn't true." "Vicarious, it's not what you think. We were both drunk, and your sire didn't realize that his comm link was left open. The both of us were embarrassed to show our faceplates to the rest of the team for a few deca-cycles after that" said Arcee. "This is not how I wanted to spend my afternoon" said Ratchet as he pinched the bridge of his nose again.

"Wait, did one of the voices admit that Arcee is his mother?" said Raf "Just who is Arcee's son?" "This is Vicarious. Just who is asking?" asked Vicarious. "This is Rafael. Who are you, Vicarious?" asked Rafael. "I'll answer this, Vicarious. Raf, Vicarious is Optimus' sparkling. Shockwave did some experiments on Vicarious after I gave birth to him" said Arcee. Ratchet and Rafael just stared at the screen in shock at what Arcee told them.

Optimus walked out of his room as he rubbed his temples. He had trouble recharging lately since it was getting closer to the time when both he and Arcee bonded with each other. They would rub their sparks with each other for mega-cycles, and they would have their sparks connected all night while they recharged. A sudden scream caught his audios as the Prime tensed up, then began running to the base control center.

When he got there, he saw Ratchet keeping Raf away from the controls. "Ratchet, just what is going on?" asked Optimus. "Nothing. Just the cons planning a diabolical tactic to offline you" said Ratchet. Optimus noticed that Ratchet was keeping Raf from speaking, and then the Prime said "Ratchet, just what in Primus' name is going on?" "Nothing, it's just that the Decepticons were planning a tactic to offline you, so I cut off their comm link to our base" said Ratchet. Optimus narrowed his optics as he stared at Ratchet, and saw that the medic's optics was glowing green. "Have you been drinking the Synthetic Energon again?" asked Optimus. "No, what makes you say that?" asked Ratchet. Optimus then turned and walked over to the controls of the comm link system. He punched in a few commands, and Arcee's, Smokescreen's, Megatron's, and a fourth energy signature showed up on the computers. "Ratchet, why would you lie to me that Arcee and Smokescreen have called the base?" asked Optimus as he stared at his friend. "Like I said, it was a Decepticon tactic to offline you" said Ratchet. Clearly not believing his old friend, Optimus' servo went over to the ground bridge controls, but Ratchet's blade came in between Optimus' servo and the controls. "I wouldn't do that if I were you" said Ratchet.

Optimus just stared at Ratchet as he said "Just what are you hiding, Ratchet? This behavior isn't normal for you…you have been ingesting the Synthetic Energon after I warned you to stop." "Optimus, don't be naïve, you know as well as I do how much stronger the Synthetic Energon makes us. After experiencing its effects, I decided to make some more modifications to it to increase its power" said Ratchet. "And after I warned you that it's only to be used on machines and not Autobots?" asked Optimus. "Oh, I did test it on machines at first, but then I went back to testing it on myself" said Ratchet before he grabbed hold of Optimus' arm and swung the Prime into a wall. "And I'm rather pleased with the results" said Ratchet as he extended his blades. Optimus extended his blades before he got up and began a swordfight with Ratchet. "Ratchet, the Synthetic Energon has taken over your systems again and has clouded your judgment. I order you to stand down one last time" said Optimus as Ratchet laughed. "Clouded my judgment? If anything, it has made everything clearer. It has made me see that you are unfit to lead the Autobots, that the humans are always in our way, and that your precious sparkmate is nothing more than the Decepticon's whore" said Ratchet as he stabbed at Optimus in the ribs. Optimus let out an anguished cry, as the prime fell to the floor before Ratchet kicked him hard in the helm.

Optimus coughed up energon before Ratchet threw him across the base again, as energon leaked out of the Prime. Ratchet walked over to Optimus as one of his blades transformed into a cutting torch and hovered it above Optimus' optic. "You know, Optimus, I couldn't help but notice how you still care for Arcee. It's affecting your leadership over us, and it's costing us this war. I'll just eliminate the problem by cutting into your processor and I'll remove those memories you cherish so much of her. If anything, bonding with that whore was the worst mistake of your life" said Ratchet. "But, not as much of a mistake as you harming my brother" said a deep voice behind Ratchet before it rammed into the medic. Ratchet went flying and crashed into a wall as his vision blurred.

When the medic refocused his optics, he saw Megatron standing in front of Optimus with his blades extended. "So, the formidable Megatron has re-entered the base. It's Synthetic Energon versus Dark Energon. Shall we see which one is the stronger energon?" said Ratchet as he extended his blades. "No" said Megatron as he reached into his chassis and pulled out his dark energon shard before he threw it away "I don't need Dark Energon powering me up anymore. I'll just fight to protect my brother. That is all the reason to get me to beat you." "You are such a fool Megatron" said Ratchet before he began charging. Megatron just stood his ground, and at the last second, sliced deep into Ratchet. Ratchet screamed, as Megatron grabbed his neck and held the medic as he tried to claw the former Decepticon. Megatron just shook his head before he stabbed Ratchet a second time, with lots of the green energon leaking out of him. "Pathetic" said Megatron before he picked up his brother and carried him to the medical bay.

Optimus was in a deep sleep as he dreamt about Arcee again. She was in his private quarters, with her armor off and was lying down on his berth. She was waiting for him as she rested on her side, with her head propped up against her palm, and the other arm resting along her side and hip. Optimus approached her without any armor on, and as he got closer to her, the room somehow began to dim. When he got to her, only a single light was on above her, but as he moved his servo to touch her arm, a second pair of servos reached out from the darkness and grabbed his femme. She screamed as she was dragged into the darkness, out of Optimus' reach. Two red optics glowed right in front of Optimus as a deep voice said "You'll never see your femme again." "Megatron" growled Optimus as two blades extended from the Prime's arms, but Megatron laughed. "I'm not the one you should be worrying about, Optimus. It's your close friend that I should be concerned with if I were you" said Megatron as two long blades punctured Optimus from behind. Optimus screamed, before he was knocked unconscious from behind his helm.

When he came to in his dream, he was in Shockwave's lab and Ratchet was busy cutting open the Prime. "Ratchet?" said Optimus weakly. Ratchet looked up from his work and smiled evilly at his old friend. "I'm just removing the parts of you that are making you weak" he said as he removed things out of Optimus. His T-Cog, the Matrix, his spark…it just went on and on until the Prime was nothing more than a hollow shell. His processor was glitching, and the Prime's body shut down. Ratchet went over to the spark and said "Now Optimus, I'll show you what we're doing to that femme that is the universe's whore" as he took the spark to another room that had Arcee on it. She too was cut open and offline, and Knockout had her spark in a container as Ratchet placed Optimus' spark in a second container.

The two sparks were taken to the storage bay, and the both of them were separated. Optimus' spark was placed on a dark shelf, and then Ratchet left. Millions of years passed, but Optimus' spark still beat. The ship became colder and colder, until ice formed on the walls of the ship, coating its metal with thick ice. Ice formed around the canister, and the spark became entombed in a prison of ice. The spark continued to beat as the ice broke the canister. As much as the spark continued to beat, the ice kept on closing in, creating a cold tomb of death for the last Prime.

"Dammit, we're losing him!" shouted Megatron as he continued to perform surgery on the Prime. "What's wrong with Dad?" asked Vicarious to Arcee. "I don't know, but it seems as if Ratchet wanted to offline Optimus" said Arcee as she assisted Megatron in trying to keep Optimus online. "Frag it, I can't keep Optimus' spark at a steady beat. It's almost as if he's suffering a heart attack" snarled Megatron. "A what?" asked Smokescreen. "A spark attack, if you will" said Megatron as he tried to stabilize the weakening spark. Vicarious went over, and extended a few cables from his wrist and hooked them up to Optimus. He closed his optics for a moment, then opened them up and said "He needs a second spark to keep him stable." "I'll do it" said Arcee as she began removing her breastplates. Vicarious turned away and resumed his operations on Ratchet. Smokescreen, on the other hand, couldn't help but stare at Arcee's breasts. "Smokescreen, can you please keep your attention on Ratchet? I need you to hand me that tool right over there. Uh, Smokescreen?" said Vicarious, but Smokescreen wasn't listening. In fact, he was drooling as he saw Arcee's silver nipples against her black breasts. "Smokescreen, if you don't stop staring at Arcee's breasts this very nano-klik, I'm going to impale your spark with your own spike" snarled Megatron. That got Smokescreen's attention as he looked down at Ratchet again and resumed assisting Vicarious on Ratchet's surgery.

Megatron then opened up Optimus' chassis plates as Arcee lowered her body and connected her spark with Optimus' spark. Megatron then checked Optimus' vitals as he saw them beginning to stabilize. "Keep it going Arcee. We're getting Optimus back" said Megatron before he resumed operations on the Prime.

Back in Optimus' dreams, the spark felt the ice touch it as the spark sent off a series of bursts, before a cutting sound was heard. The ice was sliced away, as a slender servo grabbed the spark and pulled it close to the bot's chassis. "Optimus, I'm here" said Arcee as she held the spark to her spark (and in between her very large breasts.) The spark sent out a series of pulses as Arcee laughed and said "Yeah, my breasts have gotten bigger since last time. It's…part of a very long story." Arcee shivered a bit, then began heading out of the room.

Optimus' spark fed off of the energy from Arcee's spark as she walked through the ship. The ship had been abandoned for millennia as ice covered the walls. Frozen offlined bodies of Eradicons and Insecticons were found throughout the ship. The ship also had claw marks and a large amount of holes in the walls as Arcee and Optimus' spark walked through the ship. The femme couldn't help but wonder what would tear up the ship.

A pulse went through Arcee's spark, and she looked down at Optimus' spark. The mech spark sent a few pulses, and Arcee sighed. "Well…yes, Megatron has raped me a lot when he took me as his mate. He raped me constantly to try to get me pregnant, but no, I never did love him. There were instances where I hated him less, but I never loved him. You were, are, and always will be the mech for me, Optimus" said Arcee. The spark blitzed a few times, and Arcee said "Yes, we will renew our bond more, but only after I find the space bridge on this ship." The spark sent a few pulses, and then Arcee nodded as she headed down a few more hallways and came across the space bridge. It was small, but it was designed to transport some mechs to a location on Cybertron, and not for the Nemesis to go through. The femme blasted away the ice, and then began punching in a few commands.

A sudden roar caught their attention, and the femme and the spark turned around and saw a massive mechanical dragon on board the ship. The dragon opened up its maw as the space bridge roared to life. The dragon sent a blast at the femme as she ran through the spacebridge…

Optimus awoke with a start! That dream felt so real, but there was no way that it happened. Arcee was somewhere with the Decepticons, but he could feel his sparkmate rubbing her spark with his. He could even feel it right now. All that happened was only a dream thought Optimus Right?
