Chapter 9-Part 2
Hudson's POV
I was running like I had never ran before.
A few moments ago I just met the most terrifying Decepticon I have yet to meet and I haven't met many. This Airachnid was something to fear right down to my core, her sadistic nature and obvious psychopathic tendencies were just evident in the aura she gave off.
Anyways, after having witnessed all of that I had only one thought.
Run.
Though Jack was being stubborn, again and not wanting to run when Arcee had clearly urged us. Only after having been told that she hunts native lifeforms of planets, and being on Earth meant Humans, then he ran.
We heard her cries as we knew the Spider-Con was after us, our breathing was labored as we weaved through the massive trees and bushes.
"How...are we...gonna outrun..her!?" He gasped for breath beside me, I huffed back.
"Don't..know and….at this point...don't care." He looked at me with genuine worry and fear.
From the distance we heard Airachnid shout out.
"A game is it? Well then, let's play shall we? I do like a good hunt and challenge,"
I shivered at the voice that sounded so playful yet sinister, with renewed determination we started running again.
I don't know how long we ran, time seemed lost to me as we ran through the dense forest. But before long we stopped, realizing we were completely lost. The sounds of the forest was all around us as well, snapping twigs and moving brush startled us, our heads snapping in different directions waiting for her to just….appear, like a jump scare.
"We are so dead." Jack stated, our backs were against each other looking into the dark forest.
"You're right, we can't beat her and we have no way to contact base for help. But since we are going to die, I was wondering, what the heck do you think I'm stealing from you? Because I have no idea what you are talking about!" I whisper shouted back at him, he turned to face me and I him.
Sighing, he rubbed his head. "...Arcee." He mumbled.
I stared blankly at him, "...What?"
"It's just….you hang out with her all the time and I thought you were trying to steal her from and become her new partner while I was sidelined and forgotten." My utter confusion was written plain as day on my face.
"Wait...you thought I was….You were jealous!"
"YES, yes, I admit it I was jealous. But, you can't blame me. Me and Arcee were partners long before you came into the picture and I guess I got a little territorial."
"You know I wouldn't do that to you, I'm not an asshole. And besides, Arcee is a person like the rest of us, she isn't property and she isn't a glass doll that needs to be kept safe either." He nodded, "She can have other friends then yourself, I just happen to be one of them."
He smirked at me, "I think you're more interested in her then just as a friend."
I could feel my entire face heat up at that, my heart raced as I shouted back.
"I DO NOT!"
"Oh really?" We both froze as Airachnid voice filled the forest air again, suddenly we were trapped in a webbing stuck to different tree's.
"Airachnid!" Jack shouted, she smirked before turning her attention to me. Great.
"So, you care deeply about our little motorcycle, hm? I wonder if she feels the same, maybe I kill you slowly and let her watch something she adores die by my hand, AGAIN!" She laughed in revelry as if she daydreamed of something pleasant to her wicked mind.
"Not this time!" Arcee shouted as she kicked the spider away from me, she quickly cut us down.
"Both of you run, I'll handle her." She said, readying herself as Airachnid started coming to her senses, I looked to Jack who looked like a brilliant idea popped into his mind.
"Lead her to the ship." She nodded quickly before engaging in battle with her nemesis.
Quickly we left the battling femme's and started making our way to the ship, the landmarks we had seen earlier guiding us back to that dark and creepy ship. We finally arrived at the ship and it's long grove within the ground, Jack ran up to the Energon spill.
"What's the plan?" I asked.
"When she gets close, we blow this pop stand." Smirking I nodded and began to help him alight some tinder he had until we both made a nice little torch.
Suddenly we heard light tapping against metal and looked up to see a slightly more beaten up Airachnid staring down at us with glee, then confusion, then panic as she yelled.
"NO!" We ran backwards as Jack threw the torch at the ground, lighting the blue flames of Energon on the ground before an explosion erupted from the ship sending us a few feet as the shock wave hit us.
I coughed as the smoke began to clear, I looked back to see the ship completely destroyed. I looked back to Jack who was struggling to get back up, grabbing his arm I pulled him to his feet, he too looked back to the crater.
"Well, that was fun." He said sarcastically, I laughed slightly.
CRASH!
We looked over to some wreckage to see Airachnid, slightly scarred from the explosion emerging from the wreck. And she did not look happy either.
"You too, will pay for that." She hissed but before she could advance shots rained down beside her as Arcee came racing at her, growling she basically turned her eight legs into a drill and dug a hole into the ground before disappearing.
I took this temporary moment to sigh in relief.
After a moment of silence, Arcee broke it.
"She's gone and she stuck on Earth." She said with a frown.
Jack rubbed his head, "Sorry about that, it was my idea to blow the ship."
She looked up and smiled. "It's alright, Jack. What you did was very brave, partner."
He smiled with pride at that.
"And of course you as well, Hudson. You were a real lifesaver, thanks for that." Jack said putting out in a shake, I took and gave a good shake.
"It seems you two are getting along better, that's good. Now, how about we get my partners out of the bug infested forest, hm?" I smack my neck, not even thinking about the bugs.
The dawn was breaking and the light was hitting Arcee in way that made her kind of have a halo around her head like a angel. She was more beautiful in the sunlight rather than the night….…..Wait,where the fuck did that come from?
