Chapter 7

Optimus's eyes widened and he retreated a few steps. Airachnid remained still motionless, hands on her hips and looked anxious.

Prime tried to recompose himself and declaired "If I decide to go with you ... are you goint to let her free, without harm?".

"No..." said the spider-femme approaching again to the big red and blue mech "But I promise you it will not happen nothing bad to her ... as for you, well ... it depends on how you'll behave " and she concluded with her right hand's forefinger first touched the Autobot leader's cheek, then the neck going down to the chest to the abdomen. Optimus didn't move, ever.

Airachnid then moved away a few feet, while Bulk and Bee came near theri commander.

"You cannot do Optimus!' She is going to kill you and then her!" said the big mech green, pointing toward Arcee's unconsciuos frame.

[You cannot trust Airachnid!] Added the young scout.

Optimus stood for a few moments in silence "In fact, I do not trust her. But if I agree to go with them, Arcee might have some chance of survival ... I must try!" he said as he shook both fists "Go back to the base. Inform Ratchet. Be ready ... And I will find a way to contact you!" then he turned back to the enemy's troops who meanwhile had taken into custody Arcee.

"Okay ... I accept!" Prime said finally, speaking directly to the Decepticons femme and going in front of her.

"Good!" Airachnid muttered as she walked back to the Autobot leader. She put herself again on tiptoe and put her arms around his neck and whispered "Take off the mask!" Optimus did as the femme said and he removed the protection from his face.

"Hmm ... so much better!" Airachnid continued stroking the face of the Prime with the back of her hand. Then she kissed him on the lips and whispered "Welcome back home ... Orion".

Behind them, opened the green vortex of the ground bridge. The many Vehicons began to cross it, bringing with them Arcee, still unconscious. Only Airachnid and Optimus stood there.

"Do you wanna go, sweetspark?" asked the femme, holding out her hand towards the big mech. With reluctance, Prime turned his back to the rest of his team and began to cross the vortex, followed by the spider-femme. He had only a moment of hesitation. And he turned back toward Bulkhead and Bumblebee. This time, the two didn't see him staring at them with the empy look of Orion Pax. They saw the gaze of their strong and determined leader. And they nodded towards him.

Then the space bridge closed and the two mechs were left alone. They looked into each other optics for a moment. It was the young scouts to break the silence [Ratchet! Open the bridge! We have a situation!].


When the doctor saw that Bumblebee and Bulkhead were only ones to return to base, he knew immediately what the problem was.

After listening carefully to the story of the two mechs, Ratchet turned away from them and began to walk back and forth. Thoughtfully.

"Hmm ... we just have to wait for Optimus' signal" he said "If it will ever come ..." but he kept this only for his audio receptors.


Arcee couldn't immediately open the optics. A light was hitting her right on the face and it made difficult even this simple task. Despite her momentary blindness, she could feel that her feet were off the ground, she could feel the heat around the wrists of something that gripped. She remembered the battle with Airachnid. But then she remembered nothing. Now, slowly, she managed to open the optics and looked around. She recognized at first glance the Nemesis' jail. The last time she was in that place, she was alone. And even this time it was so. But, even this time, it was not for long .

The heavy metal door opened noisily and on its threshold appeared Airachnid. She still had that satisfied grin on her face. The Decepticon femme pressed a button and the chains that imprisoned Arcee's arms vanished. The Autobot SIC fell to the ground, remaining on her knees. She went immediatly on her feet and took a defensive position when she saw that her enemy was approaching at a slow pace.

"Relax Arcee. I promised Optimus that I would not have hurt you ... and I keep my promises!" said the spider-femme.

Arcee stared at her quizzically.

"Oh yeah, you cannot know because you were unconscious" continued Airachnid while walking back and forth "Optimus has surrendered to me, in exchange for your safety".

Arcee tried to not seem desperate "What did you do to him? If you harmed him in some way, I...".

"Don't worry. For now I haven't done anything yet! " Said the Decepticon femme arresting her march" But tonight I have in mind a great plan ... Only the two of us, me and Optimus, in my room ... a bit of high grade ... I'm sure you'd like ... ".

SMACK!

Arcee could no longer control herself and struck with the back of her hand with the femme in front of her. Airachnid didn't flinch. She maintained that hideous smile on the face as he touchsed her sore cheek.

"I like aggressive femmes!" Megatron's deep voice thundered through the great room "Airachnid! Leave us alone!" ordered the gray mech.

"As you wish ... Lord Megatron!" but, before making her exit, she came back to the Autobot femme and whispered "I'll be back to tell you how good will be my evening with Prime ... it's a promise! ".

Arcee and the Decepticon leader were left alone. Megatron began to turn around the femme with his hands behind the back.

"Now I understand what Optimus has found in you" he said as he knelt in front of her "You are strong, determined and beautiful ..." he whispered and touched her face with his huge and sharp finger.

"Don't touch me!" replied in disgust the Autobot femme, moving away from her face the big gray mech's hand.

Megatron began to giggle and stood up. Then he turned and walked toward the door.

"Come with me" he said.

"I don't think so!" Arcee said.

The Decepticon leader then came back to the femme and violently grabbed her little face with his big hand "It wasn't an invitation!" he said forcefully dragging her out of the warship's jail.
