Predatory
Valkyrie's POV
Well it has been nearly three weeks since Jack decided to go street racing to win over a girl of course Prime wasn't too pleased about having to deal the fact of teenage human brains acting up. Jack of course thanked me for running interference over the matter since I told Prime kids tend to do crazy things to fit in with their peers but I had to show him an eBook called Yes Your Kid is Crazy, after reading it he understood. Valkyrie, Optimus asked to go with Arcee, Jack, Chromia, Moonracer and Elita-1." Bumblebee buzzed to me "got it". I answered and I walked into the control room to await Optimus Prime's orders "Arcee, Elita-1, Chromia, Moonracer, Jack and Valkyrie you are to investigate a ship we picked up on the energy wave reader. Arcee keep Jack safe." Optimus ordered and Ratchet opened the ground bridge to our destination, would have been a femme recon outing but with one male it wasn't. I just hope we don't encounter anything nasty because I hate having to deal with Decepticons at the moment but I will not count on it.
Optimus' POV
I was still trying to understand further into a human child's phycology but with the EBook Valkyrie showed me I was able to understand why Jack behaved the way he did and Valkyrie told me at Raf's age she was acting up herself and the excuse was always 'I don't know why I did it.' Well now that I have some answers about the incident on the human roadway, as of now I need to focus on the mission I sent five of my Autobots out in a mountainous terrain and I am aware of how unpredictable communications will be with myself and the Autobots. Of course I know Valkyrie is almost done with her training since she has been under supervision of Ironhide, my best Autobot lieutenant and combat specialist. "You know Prime Valkyrie is turning out to be a fine Autobot solider and she pays attention to the combat field, plus she has aided me in creating several arsenals." Ironhide said coming into the room with me. "I know Ironhide." I responded to him but I think she is nearly ready to deal in the field without being supervised, just like Hannah.
Valkyrie's POV
When we arrived to the area to where Ratchet had picked up the signal but we really had no clue if the Cybertronian ship was Autobot or Decepticon, "Femmes and Jack I think we should split up, besides we can cover more terrain." suggested Chromia, "besides Valkyrie needs to learn to go on recon alone since Optimus said she is almost field ready." Moonracer said, "No, Valkyrie you are to remain with me." Elita-1 said but I didn't argue with Elita-1 since in her days on Cybertron she was the field commander of the femmes and she was another mentor on the team I worked with when Ironhide was out so I knew she was right. "Alright then let's move." Elita-one ordered. When we went in different directions well except for me and Elita-one, we went north and we were making sure no human was around, but Elita knows I am the tallest femme, "Valkyrie you are rather big for a femme and I should feel safe because of how long you have been training with me and Ironhide." Elita said, I am rather self-conscious about my size since I kind of tower over the other femme's on team Prime but Optimus told me not to feel that way, this made me feel better since he is the largest Autobot on the team. Then our silence was broken when Arcee tried to talk to us but our line went dead. "That's weird." I said to Elita-one, she only shrugged and we managed to trace it.
Optimus' POV
I was shocked when I learned from Elita that two of the senior femmes suggested having Valkyrie move on her own even though she was not ready to move on her own in a huge terrain on her own, true I let her on her own in Athens once but it was patrol and nothing else. Elita informed me she is with her now but I will have a talk with Chromia and Moonracer about the suggestion because Valkyrie is still a youngling like Bumblebee and she still needs to have training and missions overseen by another Autobot. I am pleased Valkyrie listened to Elita-one and she called me and said "I know better."
Valkyrie's POV
When we managed to track Arcee she was covered in a web-like substance and Elita told me it came from a femme Con known as Arachnid, the sadistic Decepticon who murdered Arcee's first partner and mech lover Tailgate. "She's going after Jack!" she screamed, I know from Ratchet and human doctor terms this is hysteria. "Calm down Arcee I put a tracker on Jack so we can find him before that murderous bitch does." I said and the three of us went out to find Jack, but when we got close a huge explosion went off. "He is still moving Arcee." I said to her, and she suddenly went off very quickly to get to Jack. That is when I had a good look at Arachnid herself she was exactly the way Acree had described her, hideous violet compound eyes, eight legs and spider like. By the time we got to Arcee and Jack, Arachnid had escaped; we have not seen or heard the last of her which is rather eerie. I helped Elita-one fill out the incident report so Optimus will have it on his desk when we return to base.
