Sorry for any kinds of mistakes.

Chapter 9:Scary Spider

Raf could hear it; the pitter patter on the concrete that surrounded the base. He and the other kids spent the night at the base. He opened his eyes a bit and saw an outline, a scary outline. Luckily his glasses where close to him. He reached over and put them on. He held in a scream. Nearing the ground bridge controls with the spark extractor, immortalizer, and polarity gauntlet in hand was Arachnid. Raf could tell she was struggling with caring all three, it was pretty obvious that if she tried to bring more she would be a lot noisier.

Raf peeked and saw that Jack and Miko where still sound asleep. Raf gulped and looked back towards the spider bot. He closed his eyes when she started to look towards them.

"Aw, look. What my luck. Maybe I'll save the Spark extractor for Megatron. I'm sure killing these humans will be enough, besides if I kill them all at once, well where's the fun in that. Now who's first?" She whispered. Raf peeked and saw her going towards Jack asleep on the chair. He gulped and looked at the computer. He took a deep breath and jumped up. He ran over to the desk and hit the alarm. "WHAT!?" She looked over and saw Raf. "YOU LITTLE BRAT!" She threw down the polarity gauntlet. When Jack and Miko jumped up in alarm, they saw Arachnid grabbing Raf.

"LEAVE HIM ALONE SPIDER FREAK!" Miko yelled.

"Put him down! He didn't do anything to you!" Jack yelled. Arachnid hissed and turned towards the hall the Autobots came flooding out of.

"RAF! PUT HIM DOWN!"

"Or what scout?" She laughed. "I have some toys with me."

"Arachnid! I swear if you hurt him I'll kill you!" Arcee yelled.

"Oh don't worry dear; I won't hurt this pretty little thing. He's too young to add to my collection. But still." She squeezed Raf a little in her hand. "If I don't get what I want, I might have to make an exception."


Techna sat up in her bed. She sensed it. She sensed the pain, the fear. She growled. If anyone was in the cell room, they would see the madness growing in her eyes. Slowly, two new feelings took over her; anger and the need to protect. Techna growled. She ran up to the clear wall that separated her from the outside world. She started to hit it as hard as she could. Again, and again, and again, and again, and again…..


"Now doctor, if you would be so kind and put in the password for the ground bridge." Arachnid purred. Ratchet looked up at Optimus. The Prime nodded. Ratchet sighed and switched his blades for hands. He walked pass the spider. "That's a good old 'Bot. Now, what is your name?" She asked Raf as she squeezed him a little more. Everyone in the room growled. Raf just gave her a dirty look. "It's not nice to keep a lady waiting." Raf still didn't say anything. Raf shook his head as started to feel a little dizzy. Not from her, but from something else.

"There." Ratchet told her. She smiled.

"Oh already? But I didn't get his name? Last chance boy."

"Raf, his name is Raf! Just tell her RAF!" Bumblebee yelled.

"Oh, but I want to hear it from him. You have 10 seconds boy." Just then they heard a loud explosion. "What was that?!" Everyone's gaze shifted from the hall the noise came from to Raf. Who had started to laugh a little. "What's so funny?" She pulled him to her face.

"You might want to put me down." He smirked. She growled and let go of the boy.

"NO!" Everyone shouted, knowing the drop would kill him. But suddenly, Arachnid caught him. She looked like she was trying to fight an outside force. She slowly put him down next to the other humans. Next she dropped the relics.

"Somebody is need for a punishment." A voice came from the shadows. It sounded like a girls, but it had a haunting ghostly echo to it. Techna walked from the shadows. Her hair was a mess, her eyes glowing purple, and some of her dark blood dripping from her knuckles.

"Allison?" Miko whispered.

"No, Techna." Jack answered.

Techna pushed her arm forward. Arachnid slammed against the ground bridge controls and activated it in the process. "Don't even bother trying to stop me bots." Just as she said that, electricity came out of power outlets and created a circle around her, the spider, and the other humans.

"Techna, don't." Optimus ordered.

You could see Techna's crazy like smile. "Too late." In a flash she ripped off one of Arachnid's extra legs. Techna jumped and threw it. It stabbed into the spider bot's hand, locking her to the ground. Bulkhead, Smokescreen, Jack, and Miko gagged a bit at Arachnid's blood curdling scream.

"TECHNA ENOUGH!" Optimus screamed when she started to harden the flowing energon. Arachnid screamed some more. "TECHNA!" She ignored him and some of the left over energon flowed over to her. She hardened it into the shape of a spear. She walked over to the ex con and lifted it above the spiders head. "TECHNA!"

Just as she was about to strike, Raf shouted. "ALLISON STOP!" Her hand stopped, just as she was about to stab Arachnid in the brain. Raf slid down the ladder and ran up to her. He grabbed her other wristed and pulled. She stepped back a bit at each tug. "She had enough Allison. It's done." Techna's hand started to shake. She slowly put her hand down and the energon turned back to liquid. Even the energon on Arachnid turned back liquid. The femme sighed and past out from the relief of pain. "You won; you don't need to do this. It just proves what you are." Techna's eyes dimmed down. "You are Allison, you don't need to be Techna." She looked at Raf, with some tears in her eyes.

"If you where smart, you would stay away from me." She ran away from him. The circle broke as she ran thru it and into the bridge. When she was thru, the bridge shut down with a few sparking circuits.

Everyone stood there, quiet. It took Jack running to the garbage and barfing into it to bring them all to reality. Arcee went over to her partner and checked if he was alright. Bulkhead went over to see if Miko was okay. Smokescreen went with Ratchet to help Arachnid to the med bay.

"Rafael?" Optimus asked. He and Bumblebee went over to the young boy, who was still staring at the bridge.

"Raf?" Bumblebee got down to his knees.

"I thought I could get her to change. But I guess I was wrong." He said.

"Rafael, you did more than you think." Optimus said. "I believe yours and Techna's paths are more connected then we first thought."

"I feel ready to pass out." Optimus looked at Bumblebee and nodded. Bumblebee scooped up his partner and walked him towards the med bay. "Optimus?" He said to the leader.

"What is it Raf?"

"Her name is Allison." Was the last thing before he feel into a deep sleep.

I know it's short, I will have another one up in a week. Hopefully. Again sorry for any mistakes. And sorry for taking forever, I've been behind on homework. I don't know why but the song Haunt by Bastille inspired me a lot for this chapter.
