Hope ya'll are enjoying the story. Thank you for the reviews.
….
Airachnid growls as she paces back and forth. She can't get that human off her head.
"Optimus Prime is his name" she said. She looks to the sea creatures that are just standing there. She wants to kill; or even destroy him. Arcee seems to care a lot for the human. Airachnid goes up to the creatures.
Slash comes in behind her. She turns to see him.
"Slash…do you have any plans…?" she asks.
"No…" he said "Arcee is with the human again"
"I know"
"Not only that; Arcee holds the staff"
"I know…" she yells "That Optimus; took it away from me"
"Without the staff…you are can't really do anything"
"I know…" she growls "But Arcee is still weak; her arm is inured"
"Yes…"
"Okay…if I know her; she will stay in the hotel for a long while" she said "I need to sneak in there to get her"
"But she will recognize you" said Slash
"I won't sneak in…I'll send the blue whale" she said as she sees one swimming. "I can turn it human…and the whale will be strong enough to take on her"
"Okay…but you don't have the staff to do that" said Slash
"Oh I can" she smiles "I can turn the whale into a human with dark magic"
"What…?"
"Before I killed Arcee's parents, I went to the secret room to retrieve this" she holds out a bottle with purple light shinning "This can do anything you want it to"
"OH my"
"Yes…" she smirks "Bring the blue whale here"
"Yes my queen" Slash calls the other sharks to help him get the whale. The blue whale starts dashing around the sharks but it is too slow. Airachnid smiles as the sharks lead the whale to her. She splatters the dark magic over him.
The whale gasps as it slowly turns to a massive human. She smiles as she looks at the human in front of her.
"Megatron…" she said "Your name is Megatron"
She swims up to surface to let the human breathe.
"I want you to go to Atlantis" she smiles "And bring Arcee to me"
Megatron nods as it slowly starts heading towards Atlantis.
"Good" she laughs as she follows it closely.
She blushes and looks away from the Prime.
"Dad…"
Optimus looks to his son. "Yes…"
"You have a cut on your arm" he whispers.
"It's nothing" said Optimus "It was from the staff"
Bee whips the blood off. Optimus smiles as he hugs Bee.
"I'm fine…" he said "And go get the band-ages"
Bee nods as he goes to look for it. There are some noises going on outside. Arcee and Prime walk to the window. The guards look like they are fighting with one another.
The water is normal; the dolphins are now swimming around along with the other sea creatures. Arcee wonders what will happen next.
Deep down she knows trouble is going to come up. She has a feeling that something horrible is going to happen. She keeps blinking the thoughts away. She wants to think positive but not with Airachnid is out there.
She is now getting worried. She just has the gut feeling that something will come again. Her eyes start to tear up.
"There you go" said Bee. He just finishes putting the band-aid on Prime. He smiles as he looks at Bee. "Feel better dad"
"A lot better thank you" he smiles.
Bee hugs him "Well you're welcome"
Optimus kisses his temple. He looks at Arcee. Bee did the same.
"She is really beautiful" said Bee.
Optimus raises an eyebrow "What…?"
"A beautiful princess. Right?"
"What…umm"
"She likes you dad"
"I…um…" Optimus blushes
"And I think you like her"
"I…I"
"Don't worry dad…" he smiles "I won't tell her"
"Bee…I do care for her a lot" he smiles.
"Same here" Bee said "Go talk to her"
"And what are you going to do?"
"I'm going to play video games" said Bee.
Prime kisses his little boy cheek. He slowly walks up to Arcee. He places a hand on her shoulder. She flinches a little; she then calm down. Arcee then stares blankly out the window. She is looking at the ocean.
The ocean is always a peaceful place. It was so much fun but now it's a scary place to go. Airachnid changed everything. Arcee doesn't even know if the sea creatures are safe.
Optimus looks out the window along with her. He knows she is thinking about something. She is thinking about Airachnid.
"You okay…?" ask Optimus.
"I am…but I can't stop thinking"
"About what…?"
"Airachnid…" she said "I have a feeling that she might strike back"
Optimus turns her to face him.
"She might come back powerful…and I won't be able to stop her" said Arcee "Not with my arm like this"
"It will be okay…"
"NO!" she says "I can't thinking about what she might do…she can come back and kill you or come back and destroy this whole city or even kill everyone on Earth"
"Arcee…stop"
She looks at him with anger. Prime sighs.
"I don't know her as much as you" he said "But I know she might attack again"
"Exactly…but I don't know if I can fight back"
"You can…but something is holding you back"
"My arm…I told you my arm"
"No…"
"Yes…without my arm I can't use all my powers"
"Yes you can" Optimus says "With one arm you can"
"No…" she said "I couldn't fight back…because of my arm"
"It's not your arm that's holding you back" said Prime.
"Then what is it?" she says "What is holding me back?"
"Fear…"
She stops and looks at him with wide eyes. She blinks a little.
"You are afraid of her" said Optimus "Because she took your family. She made the shark attack you and she almost destroyed all of Atlantis"
Arcee didn't say anything.
"Your fear is holding you back" said Optimus "You keep thinking it's your arm. No…it's your fear"
Arcee looks down with sadness "You are right…"
"It's okay to be afraid" said Optimus "You fear can make you stronger…"
"How…?"
"Once you face it…it will make you stronger"
She looks at him now. Optimus is right; she is afraid of Airachnid. She killed her whole family and is taking over the ocean.
"Fear leads to weakness"
"No…" said Optimus. "It leads to strength…just like me"
"What…?"
"I was afraid today…or maybe terrified"
She stares at him confused. She never thought he can be afraid of anything.
"You…were scared?"
"Yes. I was afraid of the shark" said Optimus "I thought it might kill me there and I was afraid when I stood up to Airachnid"
"You were?"
"Yes…but I know fear was holding me back" said Optimus "I just went for it…I didn't think straight either but I did face my fears…because it made me stronger"
"I guess everyone is afraid of something"
Optimus look at her then at Bee.
"My worst fear is…loosing Bumblebee" said Optimus "Or see him hurt…"
Arcee looks at the little kid.
"With that fear I protect him. So it won't ever happen"
"Does Bee have a fear…?" she asks.
"Yes…" said Prime "He is afraid that I will leave him…but I will never so such a thing"
Arcee looks at Prime. "Fear…"
"You must fight it…" said Optimus "It will help you"
She nods and hugs Prime real tight.
"Do you think I have enough strength?"
"I know you do" said Optimus
"How do you know?"
"I just know" said Prime "Everyone has strength"
She smiles again and rubs her head on his chest. Prime rubs her head softly.
"You hungry…?"
"Yes…"
Prime lets her go and he goes to the kitchen. Prime starts cooking some snacks. Arcee smiles and walks to Bee. She sits next to him.
"Bee…" she smiles.
"Yes…"
"Can we dance again?" she ask
"Sure if you want" said Bee "But let me finish this mission"
"How…old are you?" she said
"I'm eight"
Arcee waits as she watches Bee. He seems concentrated on the game. She looks at the game play wondering what the game is about. He finishes the mission. Bee stands up to put Just dance.
Arcee and Bee gets ready to dance as they slide through the songs. Optimus smiles.
"Bee…why don't you dance You're on mind by Imposs ft Perry"
"Sure…"
"You're on mind," Arcee questions.
"It's a good song" said Prime as he gets back to cooking. He sees them from the kitchen.
It's your confidence
The way you move you're sexy
Oh oh
The things I wanna show you only if you let me
By the look in your eyes I can tell your hearts been broken
But you're now on fire bony smoking
And I've been waiting waiting waiting waiting waiting
For an opportunity to get you
I'd been waiting waiting waiting waiting waiting
For opportunity to be with you
Arcee watches carefully to figure out how to dance. She now gets it but still struggling. She is smiling as she enjoys this song. It has a nice beat to it.
Optimus smiles wide as he looks closely at Arcee. He likes her smile; her dance movies; her long black hair with blue and pink; her beautiful eyes. He can't get her off his mind.
You're on mind
You're the only one I'm thinking of
You're on mind
Am I dreaming? Inception
You're on my mind
Got flashes of you dancing in the club
You're on my mind
Every hour every minute
Every second every hour minute every second
Countin' down the hours minute and the seconds
To be with you
Just to be with you
"This song has a nice beat" Arcee said. She is now having fun as the characters changes. Bee starts singing along with lyrics. He is now in beat following the dance moves. Arcee is right behind him. She knows what to do now.
Arcee and Bee kept dancing as Prime made some macaroni and cheese. Optimus is now going along the beat. He starts swaying back and forth. He is in beat.
Arcee turns to look at Prime.
She smiles as she sees him. "Optimus can dance?"
"Who can what now" said Blu
"Oh…I was just thinking about something sorry"
Blue sighs "Okay…by the way we are good…and striker as well"
"Good…I'm dancing"
"Okay…."
Arcee turns back to the screen. The song seems to be almost over. Optimus goes over behind her.
"Forget the dance moves…" said Optimus. He starts dancing next to her. He holds her close to him as he goes on beat. He locks hands with hers as he raises them up with beats.
He twirls her around. Her back is now facing his. She doesn't know how to really dance but Optimus is leading her pretty good.
She starts moving her hips around with the beat. Optimus places his hands on her hips to help her dance. Arcee turns around to wrap her arms around Prime.
Bee stands back. He watches them with a smile. He starts clapping with beat. Arcee stares at Optimus.
You're on my mind
(Now she's mine)
You're on my mind
(Yeah yeah)
You're on my mind
(Now she's mine)
You're on my mind
"I will never…ever let you go" Prime sings as he dips her down. Their eyes are locked. She blushes and Prime smiles at her. She is beautiful. All he can ever think about is her. Arcee sees those beautiful blue eyes he has.
"Awesome!" Bee jumps on Prime.
"Whoa…"
Arcee gets up and Optimus holds on to Bee. He is grabbing on from his back. Optimus has to give Bee a piggy back ride.
"Did you finish cooking?" he asks.
"Yes…I made Macaroni and cheese"
"Good" Bee then points his finger "March to the table"
Optimus shakes his head. Arcee laughs as she follows after them. She can't wait to taste the macaroni and cheese.
"It is good" said Bee.
"I can't wait to try it"
Optimus serves them and all start eating. Prime looks to Arcee; his eyes never looking away.
