Episode 25: What A Tangled Web We Weave
All characters belong to Hasbro.
We pick up to seconds after the last episode, as we see Blackarachnia still on the floor, chained to the wall behind her, staring up at the Decepticons before her, who in turn stared right back at her.
Shockwave: Well? We're still awaiting for an answer.
Blackarachnia: Will you relax and give me a moment to think about this? After all, you just came to my cell asking me that 10 Nano Clicks ago after all.
Inferno: (Rolls his Optics) This is a waste of time.
Nightbird: Inferno, calm yourself.
Inferno: Enough with patience! This Femme is nothing more than a weak Autobot fool who was stuck on Archa 7 the moment we found her there! (Turns to Blackarachnia) You still remember all that, don't you freak? Or have your Processor been too numb to even remember one piece of the very reason of your existence?!
Blackarachnia didn't reply to him at all, just laid there in silence as her Processor drifted back to the memories from a long, long time ago...
A Thousand Stellar Cycles ago... Archa 7.
Elita One opened her Optics in sheer pain, slowly getting up in the cave filled with darkness around her, as she tried activating her Comm Signal.
Elita One: (Tries activating her Comm Signal) O-Optimus? Sentinel? (Gets nothing but static) Optimus? Sentinel, do you copy? (Continues to get nothing) Hello? Look... If you can hear this... I'm in serious pain right now... I've been attacked by the spiders and they bit me from all around and now... I feel something inside of me, and I don't know what it is, so if please, please say something because I think I may be seriously sick right now!
She walked around and then suddenly, she noticed the spiders that attacked her from before were gathered around her in a circle, as she quickly became full aware of them.
Elita One: (Gasps and falls down to the ground) Guh! (Turns her head up and looks at the spiders) Stay away! I'm warning you! Stay back or you'll get it!
Surprisingly to her, the spiders didn't seem to pose a threat as they just stood there doing nothing but stare right at her.
Elita One: (Slowly gets up, being very cautious as she looked at them) Okay... Guys, I'm not sure you read this, or, I hope not, are possibly Offline, but I'm looking at the Spiders right now, and they're not even doing anything to me at all... That makes me feel... A little safe, and yet, a bit disturbed... I guess my download did work on Organics after all. (Turns to the spiders) Okay... Mind if you let me through? (Walks to the spiders, who all in turn just moved out of her way) Okay... Thanks, I guess.
Elita walked out of the darkened area of the cave where the horde of spiders are and then walked to a part of the destroyed Decepticon Warship as she came across a mirror. Know it is still darkened, but that doesn't stop her from looking at her form... Which now instead of her Yellow and Blue body paint colors, she now bore Purple, a little bit of Gold, and Purple, as she looked at herself, noticing spiderlike body parts on her.
Elita One: (Gasps in horror) What... What is this? What? (Looks at her upper body, noticing Pincers coming from her back) What?! What are those things?! (Moves to touch her back, now feeling the Pincers, gasping in terror) No! No, this can't be, this can't be real! (Turns around to look at her Face... Now having four Optics, having a Purple face, and having veins on the top of her head, which now having a completely terror filled expression on face, realizing what she had become) No... NO!
Elita then fell down to the ground, filled with total denial as she grasped her face, her Pincers falling down as well, making sobbing sounds as she was laying on the ground, in total despair.
Elita One: (Sobs) No... No... This cannot be real... It can't... (Sniffs as she opened her Optics) Optimus, Sentinel! They'll help me! They have to! (Gets up off the ground and turns to a doorway) I just have to find them and then they'll take me to Cybertron and fix me! The doctors at the Cybertronian Council can fix me! They have to!
She ran out of the doorway and then went to various places of the downed Decepticon Warship, which due to the explosion brought by the Energon, and was in a maze of her own, desperately trying to seek a way out of the ship, which proven to be fruitless due to the amount of time passed by as she tried getting out.
Elita One: (Looks around, trying to look for a way out) Come on! I have to get out of here! I must! (Looks up to the ceiling, noticing bright light coming out as she looked up, revealing a hole) That's it! That's my way out of here! (Turns to the wall and noticed a ladder connecting to the broken hole) There! (Runs to the ladder) All I have to do is climb up and-!
Suddenly, just when she started climbing, the latches started to tear apart, causing the lower half of the ladder to fall off, taking Elita along with it as she landed roughly to the ground, screaming in surprise.
Elita One: (Widens her Optics/eyes) AHH! (Lands to the ground) OOF! (Moans as she got the ladder off of her) No... NO! (Looks up at the ceiling, not able to locate any other ladders) No! That was my only way out! (Grunts in frustration) DARN IT!
She raised her arm in frustration, unintentionally making her hand to make a fist and then causing a Purple spider web to land on the upper half of the ladder, drawing her attention to her hand as she saw what she did.
Elita One: (Widens her Optics) What? (Looks at her hand and noticed the spider web coming out of her hand) Is that... Spider webs? Ewww! Nasty! (Looks up at the upper ladder, noticing the web landed right next to hit) Wait... This might come to my advantage!
She then kept her arm raised up as she backed up a little, until she was at a wall, and then she turned to the other side, pulling her web a little tight until she flung herself up in the air like a sports Olympics athlete would, and landed right at the upper half of the ladder, grabbing onto it as her web came off.
Elita One: (Grabs onto the ladder handle bars, making a hopeful look) Yes! (Starts climbing up, almost at the hole) Almost there Elita... Almost there!
However, as if fate was against her, the upper ladder started to fall apart, making her notice in shock as it started to fall, making her scream as she fell 20 feet deep to the ground, but not before her hand grabbed onto the wall, making her surprised at that as she hung onto it, looking where her hand was, until moving her other arm up to the wall, making a crack on the wall, before making that other hand bash onto the wall, making a perfect handle for her to use, as she looked up at the ceiling, and started to climb up the wall now, without any trouble as she finally made it up to the hole on the ceiling.
Elita One: (Climbs up the hole, placing her footing as she looked around the canyon, which was at sunset) Yes! I did it! Oh Primus I did it... (Turns and looks at the shuttle, the one she, Optimus and Sentinel used as she gave a hopeful look) Oh! The shuttle! (Runs towards the shuttle, trying her Comlink Signal) Guys! Guys, it's me! I'm okay!
Her cries were not received however, as the ship suddenly started to launch, the ground clearing dust around the ship as she widened her expression in terror, looking at the ship as she started sprinting.
Elita One: (Tries her Comlink Signal again) Guys?! Guys, what are you two doing?! I'm still out here! Guys?! (The ship started to be up in the air, making her run faster) Optimus! Sentinel! Stop, please! Don't leave me here! Optim-!
The ship turned behind her, the engines now facing her direction as they started to boost, causing her to fall back from the overwhelming power as she fell to the ground on her back, making her groan in pain as she got up by her waist, to look up at the sky and see her family's ship fly away to space, leaving her on Archa 7 alone, causing her Spark to break emotionally.
Elita One: (Looks at the ship, now no longer in her sight as it went into orbit) NO! (Gets on her knees and started pounding on the ground) Why?! WHY?! (Lets herself fall on her back, tears coming out of her Optics) Why? Why would you leave me? I thought we were going to be a family...
Elita then placed her hands on her face, Leaking out her emotions as the sun set onto the horizon, moving her body to the side as her sobbing was the only thing that filled in the void of emptiness that is around her...
In a dream flashback, Elita opened her Optics to find herself in the Cybertron Infirmary as she was on her own Medical Berth, and she looked down to see not only her hands were back to fully Machine, and Yellow and Blue painted colors, but also she was holding on to her Sparked Protoform, who was sleeping peacefully as she gave a soft smile at her child.
Elita One: (Looks at Baby Bumblebee) Bee! (Sighs as she hugged him lightly) Oh... My baby boy...
Optimus: Elita?
Elita turned to look at Optimus and Sentinel, who were both standing in her room both looking happy as they walked to her.
Elita One: (Widens her Blue Optics) Optimus! Sentinel! (Sighs in relief) Boy, am I glad to see you two.
Sentinel: Are you alright? You seem like you've seen Megatron stabbing you in that virtual reality headset Optimus used before.
Elita One: It's nothing, it's just... I had a really, really bad dream, and I don't even want to think about it.
Optimus: (Places his hands on her side) What was it about Elita?
Elita One: (Smiles as she touched Optimus's cheek) Nothing you need to worry about sweet Spark... Or should I call you daddy now? Since you've been replaced by a new little guy.
Optimus: (Smiles as he looked down at his son) Ah, so little Gold Bug is trying to replace me, isn't he? Well he can go take it because I am daddy all the through.
Elita One: I'm glad to hear. (Moves to kiss Optimus's cheek)
Sentinel: (Sighs as he looks at baby Bumblebee) Look at the little guy, he looks so peaceful right now.
Optimus: Of course he is... After all, we're a family now, and this little guy became a part of it.
Elita One: That's great to hear... But how do we make it work though?
Sentinel: Yeah, don't we have our future jobs as being a part of the Elite Guard?
Optimus: I know that, but we can make it work, we'll have to, besides, once we work hard enough, we could go to Iacon and make ourselves a family there.
Elita One: That could work, Iacon isn't that bad.
Sentinel: Well, the Elite Guard is mostly stationed there, so we could try that out and see what happens. (Turns to Baby Bee) For little Aftkicker here.
Optimus: Sentinel! Language!
Sentinel: What? It's a nice name, little Aftkicker, it's got a ring to it.
Elita One: How though?
Sentinel: I don't know, I mean, it's a good nickname, isn't it?
Optimus: I'm pretty sure I nicknamed him Bumblebee right after he was born.
Elita One: And as much as we like the idea, we're not calling him little partskicker, I don't want any language around him.
Sentinel: Alright, fine, but I'm just saying, it has a ring to it.
Optimus: Whatever you say Sentinel... (Turns to Elita) But like you said, although I'm rephrasing this for child purposes... (Places a hand on Elita's hand) For our family.
Elita One: (Smiles as she joined Optimus's hand) For our family...
Elita woke up to find herself laying on the ground, night fully settled in as the black filled sky showed the stars, Archa 7's moons brightening the night light as Elita looked at herself again, still having the techno organic material on her hands as she placed her hands in dispair.
Elita One: (Sighs sadly) What am I going to do now? (Hears a ship flying) Is that what I think that is? (Turns around and sees a ship flying above) Oh Primus! A ship! Optimus and Sentinel must have sent that for me! That means they didn't forget about me! (Runs to the sound of the ship flying) HEY! Over here! Hey I'm right here! He-!
She stopped running only to see the ship was not only big, but it was a Decepticon Warship, as the big, dark Purple space ship hovered in the air, drawing Elita's full attention to it.
Elita One: (Looks at the Decepticon Warship) A Decepticon Warship? Oh please tell me that's just a part of my hallucinations from the infections inside of me!
Suddenly, a couple of Decepticons flew out of the Warship, causing Elita to hide on the top of the canyon for cover, as Starscream and Blitzwing Transformed out of their Alt Modes into their Robot Modes, landing to the ground as Elita took observation on them.
Starscream: (Groans in annoyance) Why is Lord Megatron insisting we go to this waste of a planet? All there is nothing but rocks!
Blitzwing: (Looks around) Vor your reminder Starscream, Lord Megatron has requested that ve make an investigation here since one of our previous Decepticon Warships had their signals activated, which sent us to vere.
Starscream: Whatever the signal was, it's obviously a Glitch in the system, and more importantly, I think this is a waste of time since I thought the very first thing Megatron wanted was to find this Allspark he's been searching for Stellar Cycles.
Blitzwing: Be that as it may, Lord Megatron wants us to find the source of the signal, we shall do what he says.
Starscream: (Scoffs) Fine, but we better hurry this up, I have much better time than wasting here on this rock.
They both walked around the canyon as Elita observed them from above.
Elita One: (Looks at Blitzwing and Starscream) Decepticons? And they're here looking for a signal? Oh, Optimus, Sentinel, or I must have triggered some kind of signal just to get their attention, great, first I had Spiders trying to turn me into one, and now I have Decepticons that if they find me here, could possibly blast me to smithereens.
Suddenly, a shuttle came down to the surface as Elita, Starscream and Blitzwing took notice of it and turned to it.
Starscream: (Raises a brow) Is that a shuttle?
Blitzwing: Vhy yes actually, it iz.
Starscream: Now why would we ever need shuttles when we Decepticons can just fly-
As Starscream complained, Elita saw the shuttle landing down to the ground, with it's ramp lowering down to the ground, as she quickly turned back to a Starscream and Blitzwing, who were both still talking to each other, which gave her the opportunity to quickly steal the shuttle at chance, so she jumped off the cavern and ran directly to the ship, but stopped to see the two Decepticons fly and land right in front of her, not missing her by chance unfortunately.
Starscream: (Looks at Elita One with disgust at her Spider form) Ewww... What kind of abomination is this?
Elita One: (Looks at Starscream and Blitzwing, taking a step back) Look, I don't want any trouble, I swear!
Blitzwing: You've certainly found trouble, especially when it appears you were trying to steal this shuttle, were you not?
Starscream: Now why would some filthy Organic Spider like you want to crawl up inside a shuttle when you insects belong to the ground like the common freaks that you are?
Elita One: (Growls in frustration of being called a freak) I am not an Organic, I am a Cybertronian! (Shoots her webs at Starscream and Blitzwing, covering them up tight)
Starscream: (Falls to the ground) Guh! (Sees Elita running inside the shuttle) You insect! Come get us out of here so we can tear you apart!
Elita ignored them as she ran inside the shuttle, making her way to the cockpit as she tried looking up the controls, not noticing a big menacing figure that is standing right behind her.
Elita One: (Looks up the controls) Now how do I fly this thing?
?: You're not flying anywhere...
Elita did not have time to react as a big Black hand knocked her to the wall, hitting it so hard that she felt so much pain to be on the verge of losing her consciousness, as she fell on her back, she looked up to see Megatron standing in front of her as she widened her Optics in fear.
Megatron: (Kneels down to face Elita) Not until I find out exactly what you are...
That was the very last thing she heard before blacking out...
Elita was back in another dream flashback as she was with Optimus and their Sparkling in the park, overlooking the Metroplex as ship traffic flown in and out of the city.
Elita One: (Puts her head on Optimus's shoulder) Look at this place Optimus, it's so peaceful out here... Maybe we could bring Gold Bug here for a nice time to relax.
Optimus: (Smiles) That sounds like a good idea honey.
Sentinel: GUYS!
They both turned around to see Sentinel in his Alt Mode, who had woken the Sparkling up as he quickly Transformed back into his Robot Mode to face Optimus and Elita.
Optimus: (Hears Baby Bee wake up crying) Sentinel, what is it? You woke the baby up.
Elita One: What's the big hurry all the sudden?
Sentinel: Sorry Optimus, Elita, but you guys need to see this! Quick! (Shows a display of Ultra Magnus)
Ultra Magnus: (On holographic display) Attention fellow Autobots, I bring information that we have came under a severe drought of Energon resources, but I, along with the Autobot Elite Guard and of the Cybertronian Council ask that everyone stay calm. The drought will surpass in the next couple of Steller Cycles, so we ask that you be patient until then. Ultra Magnus out. (Ends transmission)
Optimus: (Widens his Optics) A drought in Cybertron? How did this happen?
Sentinel: No one knows for sure, but whoever's idiot idea to cause it probably ended up making Energon supplies reserved, and I don't think it'll be enough for Bumblebee.
Elita One: Well there has to be something we could do, the Sparkling needs Energon more than we do.
Sentinel: Well... I do have one place in mind.
Optimus: What do you mean?
Sentinel: Look, you know in one of our classes that we studied about planets in other galaxies? Well, I found one in particular-
Optimus: You actually paid attention in class?
Sentinel: Just let me finish okay? Anyway, I found one in particular that has a crashed Decepticon Warship containing dozens of Energon, I mean, LOTS of Energon to stand corrected. (Shows a display of the planet on holographic display) It's called Archa 7, all we have to do is pop by there, find the Warship, get the Energon and come back safely! Easier said then done in and out job.
Elita One: (Turns to Optimus) Optimus, we should go! Like Sentinel said, there's a lot of Energon in that Warship!
Optimus: (Looks up Archa 7 details) Okay, no, it's a bad idea, I don't like this.
Sentinel: What do you mean Optimus? What, do you think the Energon isn't there anymore?
Optimus: It's not that I want to be hopeful Sentinel, it's just that Archa 7 is an Organic Planet, and you should know that Organic Planets are strictly prohibited, even Kup would disagree.
Elita One: But Optimus! Think of our child! If there's a chance of Energon being there, it's a risk worth taking!
Sentinel: Yeah! That and think about how much Energon we could bring back along the way! We could be praised as heroes!
Optimus: Is this what we're thinking about now? Being a hero right now while a disaster is at hand?
Sentinel: Well, I didn't mean it that way, I just thought-
Elita One: Look, what Sentinel is trying to say is, that if there is indeed a chance of Energon being at that Planet, and there's a good enough amount, then not only we could supply it with ourselves, we could also supply it to other families that also are in need of it as well! And if there isn't any Energon, or if something goes wrong, then we'll go back. Like Sentinel said, Easier said then done in and out job. (Places a hand on Optimus's chest, while showing the Sparkling to him) Just think about our child Optimus... Think about what his future...
Optimus: (Looks at the display and then back to his family, and sighs) Do we have ship at least?
Sentinel: (Smiles bright) I never thought you'd ask buddy! I have one right in the hanger!
Optimus: Okay, we'll catch up with you there.
Sentinel left Optimus and Elita as they both looked down at baby Bee, now back in his Stasis nap.
Optimus: (Looks at Baby Bee) Where are going to put Bumblebee at?
Elita One: Well, I know that Red Alert would fit the job well, I know because she's pretty good with Sparklings, I've seen her in class.
Optimus: So you can trust her?
Elita One: Of course I do, she's also my friend. Why wouldn't I trust her?
Optimus: I don't know... We just never considered having a Sparkling sitter this soon.
Elita One: Yeah, neither did I... (Looks down at Bee and then back at Optimus) Well... Whatever happens, you promise that we won't leave each other? For the Sparkling's sakes?
Optimus: (Smiles as he moved his hand to hold onto Elita's chin) I promise, Sentinel and I would never even consider leaving you behind... Not for a Nano Click...
Elita One: (Looks into Optimus's Optics) I love you Optimus...
Optimus: (Pressed his head gently against Elita's) I love you too Elita...
They both pressed their heads together as the dream ended in a white flash...
One Deca Cycle later, in the Nemesis.
Elita blinked her Optics slowly as she found herself on the floor in a dark Purple lit cell, and she happened to be right against a wall as she had her wrists chained to the wall with Stasis chains prohibiting her from making movement as voices echoed into her Processor.
Starscream: (I'm telling you, this was a utter mistake).
Inferno: (Well don't complain to me about it, it's not like it was my idea to bring it here anyway).
Lugnut: (As I hate Starscream's annoyance, I agree that thing should have been disintegrated the moment it tried stealing Lord Megatron's most glorious shuttle).
Blitzwing: (Vell, Lord Megatron did want to know what this particular Autobot is exactly)
Starscream: (Elita's hearing is getting better) What makes you think that... Thing, is an Autobot?
Inferno: You don't think it's an Autobot do you?
Starscream: No, I don't because I am the most intelligent out of all the Decepticons.
Inferno: Well, if you're so, "Intelligent", then how come there's an Autobot Symbol just sitting right on that thing's neck huh? Yeah, try acting all intelligent now, Dumdaft.
Elita One: (Rolls her Optics) I can hear you in case you were wondering!
Starscream: (Turns to Elita, making a scoff) Ugh, it's still Functioning?!
Inferno: Unfortunately, yeah.
Elita One: (Struggles in her chains) Let me out! I demand that you let me out this instant!
Lugnut: (Growls, leaning his head forward towards Elita) You have no right to demand anything insect! Not until Lord Megatron decides your fate!
Elita One: (Glares at Lugnut) Let me give you some notice, big guy, and to everyone in this room, I am not an insect, nor am I an it, or even some kind of Slagging monster right now, I am a Cybertronian that can speak, intelligent, and most importantly, am a She, not an it! Now let me go now!
Inferno: (Walks next to Lugnut and activates a Flaming Saw) You may wanna watch what your Glossa Freak, while it's still attached.
Blitzwing: Zou are in zhe Nemesis, Lord Megatron's personal Warship, and you have gained his interest, since you have webbed me and Starscream earlier at the Planet.
Starscream: Which I could have gotten out easily if I had my Slagging Blasters to work functionally!
Elita One: (Rolls her Optics) Well, if Megatron is here, and I'm supposedly on the Nemesis, then how come I can't see him right now? Just where is he at exactly?
Megatron: Right here.
Everyone turned around, as they saw Megatron standing in the doorway of the cell, making the Decepticons stop and stand still like soldiers while Elita watched from her position, widening her Optics in shock after seeing the Decepticon Warlord for the first time, thinking back to all of the visual projections of Megatron, who looked exactly like them as Megatron marched in, passing through the Decepticons in his Cybertronian Mode to stand before her.
Megatron: (Stares at Elita coldly) Leave us.
Starscream: (Raises a brow) Seriously? Wait, so we're leaving now? (Sees Megatron turn his head around, glaring) Okay, I guess we're leaving now.
Inferno: (Drags Starscream by the Servo) Oh shut the Pit up already will you?
The Decepticons except Megatron left the cell alone as Megatron faced Elita One on the ground, who in turn looked at him in silence, not really sure what to say to keep herself from dying.
Megatron: (Stares at Elita) ...What is your Designation?
Elita One: (Raises a surprised brow) What?
Megatron: Your Designation... What is it?
Elita One: Why would you care?
Megatron: I am rather curious, given your predicament, since you had taken down two of my loyal Decepticons, one of which was my 2nd in command... Not many could easily take him down.
Elita One: Well, what can I say? I make a lot of Mechs impressed just by my looks.
Megatron: But that is rather unfortunate, given what my Decepticons have been saying.
Elita One: (Sighs) Look... I already know who you are, and you obviously have me locked in here, so what are you waiting for? Why don't you just kill me now?
Megatron: (Raises a brow) Kill you? Now why would I ever want to do that, Elita One?
Elita One: (Widens her Optics) How... How did you know my name?!
Megatron: I've had Inferno gathered your CNA, and the results proved that you are more or less born an Autobot, but none of the less, have Techno Organic DNA inside of you.
Elita One: That doesn't give me an answer to how you know my name!
Megatron: I'll admit, although you would probably not know this by now, but you became quite the celebrity, given your sudden passing at Archa 7.
Elita One: Passing? What do you mean?
Megatron: I have some spies on the inside giving me information about all Autobot activities, and you in particular were reported to have gone to the Planet Archa 7, along with two fellow cadets by the name of Sentinel and Optimus, which I'll probably forget later on since I don't tend to recognize any Autobot names whatsoever.
Elita One: Yet you seem to remember mine so well.
Megatron: That would be because the ones that you have called friends, allies, whatever you had called them, had reported to the Cybertronian Council along with Ultra Magnus of the Elite Guard that you have gone Offline in Archa 7, right after they left you to rot on that Planet.
Elita One: (Widens her Optics) That's... That's not true! I'm still Online! They truly never would forget about me!
Megatron: And yet there you were in Archa 7, just hiding in canyons, desperately looking for a ride back home to Cybertron... If it were my guess, I'd say they had completely forgotten about you and made up an excuse just so they won't bother with you, just to not make it their problem.
Elita One: What?! No, no, I know them! They never would truly abandon me! I'm a mother! They have my Sparkling!
Megatron: Only to have taken it away from you, like it was something to buy from a pawn shop.
Elita One had started to feel many emotions; Loneliness, Betrayal, and Loss at the same time as she had many flashbacks from her past, including the most recent ones of all.
Elita One: (In a flashback) Think of our child Optimus...
Sentinel: (In a flashback) Easier said then done in and out job...
Optimus: (In a flashback) For our family...
Sentinel: We could be praised as heroes!
Optimus: I promise that Sentinel and I would never leave you... Not even for a Nano Click...
Elita One: I love you Optimus...
Optimus: I love you too Elita...
Elita started to scream her Vocals out, as Megatron sensed her anger rising, he deactivated the Stasis chains holding her wrists and he moved back to see Elita violently scratching the walls in anger as she screamed her voiced out, thinking nothing but betrayal from the ones who she thought loved her, denting the walls with her claws until she stopped, placing her Servo right where she laid her last scratch on it as Megatron went forward to her, slowly.
Elita One: (Panting her breath) They... They lied to me... All this time, they were just lying to me just so they could betray me right then and there and leave me there to die!
Megatron: (Walks to Elita One) Yes, they have betrayed you, along with every single Autobot that have known you, and not only that, but they also took your own Sparked child from you, only to discard it like some common Scrap Piling trash... How does that make you feel?
Elita One: It makes me... It makes me angry... It makes me so angered that the thought of them leaving me with such betrayal is just... Unbelievable! It makes me... It makes me want to murder them! (Turns around to face Megatron) I want to find them... I want them to see me like this... I want them to know, that THEY were the ones that did this to me!
Megatron: If you want to take vengeance on those who took away your innocence, then you must join me, and together, we will bring justice to all of Cybertron, and make those who made you this way... (Raises his Servo to Elita) Will you join me? As no longer as Elita One, but for now on, as Blackarachnia?
Blackarachnia: (Makes a cold smile) Well... Since it does make a ring to it... (Takes Megatron's hand) Why the Pit not?
Megatron: (Shakes her hand, smiling as well) Good to have you with us Blackarachnia... (Brings out a Black and Yellow Helmet) I also brought this just in case... Would you like to try it on?
Blackarachnia looked at the Helmet Megatron held, and then grabbed it gently from his hands as she slowly put it on, and then once that was done, she turned around to look at a mirror, looking at her new look, her Transformation from Elita One into Blackarachnia was now fully complete as she looked at herself.
Megatron: What do you think?
Blackarachnia: (Looks at herself in the mirror) Hmm... (Places one Servo on her waist while placing another on her side) It will do just nicely.
Megatron: I'm glad you like it. (Takes Blackarachnia's hand) Now come... It is time I showed you a tour around the Nemesis...
Megatron took Blackarachnia's hand and began showing her around the Nemesis, leaving a cold expressed smile as he gained a new soldier to his Decepticon army...
A Thousand Stellar Cycles later...
In the Nemesis, Blackarachnia was seen in a lab with Inferno as they began working on Blitzwing, who was laying on a Berth as they were working on him apparently.
Blackarachnia: (Turns to Inferno) Hand me that screw.
Inferno: (Grabs a screw) No problem. (Throws the screw right at her head)
Blackarachnia: (Gets hit by a screw) Ah! Hey!
Inferno: What? You've asked for a screw, so I got you a screw.
Blackarachnia: I said "Hand" me a screw, Dip Stick, I didn't mean for you to throw it at me!
Inferno: Well you have it now, so there shouldn't be any complaints.
Blackarachnia: Whatever, just be careful around Blitzwing, anything that could go wrong will make Lord Megatron angry, and you know how he is when he's angry.
Blitzwing: (Moves his head slightly to Blackarachnia) How are we doing so var?
Blackarachnia: Just added the Hot stuff inside, so I'm almost done, just don't move anymore.
Inferno: Will you go faster Spider Freak? I have business to tend to.
Blackarachnia: What kind of business exactly? Where on any part of this ship do you have anything to do other than stand around waiting for Lord Megatron to give orders?
Inferno: (Growls as he grabs a wrench) You be silent you insolent abomination!
Inferno thrown the wrench at her, only to miss and hit the machinery, causing a malfunction around Blitzwing as Blackarachnia and Inferno stepped back.
Inferno: (Looks at the machine malfunctioning) Oh Scrap.
Blackarachnia: (Turns to Inferno angrily) You idiot! What have you done?!
Blitzwing: (Looks around) What iz going on?
Blackarachnia: The machine is overloading! That's what!
Blitzwing: What do you-? (Starts to scream in agonizing pain) AHHH!
Inferno: What's happening to him?!
Blackarachnia: It's starting to affect Blitzwing!
Inferno: Well let him Offline then, I never really liked that Bot.
Blackarachnia: You idiot! If Blitzwing goes Offline, Lord Megatron will not only have my head, but he'll also have yours on a platter! (Turns to the machine) I'm going to have to shut it down!
Blackarachnia went to turn off the machine, and when she did, the machine shut down, and Blitzwing stopped screaming in pain as the two went to him, for he was just laying on the Berth, but not Offline whatsoever because of his colors remaining the same.
Inferno: He's not... Offline, is he?
Blackarachnia: If he doesn't wake up, then maybe he is Offline... (Walks to Blitzwing) Hey, wake up! Can't you even hear me right now-?!
Blitzwing: (Grabs Blackarachnia by the throat as his face was now Red with a Visor) GLITCH! WHAT WERE YOU TRYING TO DO?! SLAG ME?!
Inferno: (Widens his Optics) What the Pit?!
Megatron: (Comes in with Starscream and Lugnut) What is the meaning of this?
Blitzwing: (Turns to Megatron, letting Blackarachnia's throat go) I'LL TELL YOU WHAT HAPPENED! THAT SPIDER! (Suddenly, his Faceplate switched to a pitch Black Face Screen, showing Red bright Optics and a mouth that looks like something from a Halloween Jack O'Lantern) Made feel like I had the best hangover of mein life! (Dances around crazily) Now look at me! I'm dancing, I'm dancing!
Starscream: (Looks at Blitzwing, giving a WTF look) Ok, stating from the obvious that Mech had gotten entirely insane...
Megatron: (Turns to Blackarachnia) Blackarachnia, tell me what is the meaning of this? Why is Blitzwing this way?
Lugnut: (Turns to Blackarachnia angrily) You fool! You were supposed to give him an Upgrade of a Triple Changer! Not create a mad Mech here!
Blackarachnia: (Glares at Lugnut) Well, don't blame me! (Points at Inferno) Blame him! He's the one that messed up entirely by throwing a wrench at the equipment I was working on!
Megatron: (Turns to Inferno) Inferno, is this detail valid?
Inferno: (Looks around at his comrades) Well, it's not like I didn't even mean to! I was trying to throw it at... At that thing over there!
Blackarachnia: (Glares at Inferno) For Spark's sake, I'm a SHE! Not a THING!
Megatron: Enough! Now I do not know about the both of you, but for you to make a mistake even this badly-!
Blitzwing: (Faceplate turns Blue) Vait Lord Megatron! There's no need of executions!
Starscream: (Raises a brow) Now you're perfectly sane?
Blitzwing: Why yes... Vor the time being apparently.
Megatron: (Turns to Blackarachnia) Blackarachnia, I want you to run a diagnostic report on Blitzwing, and you have better pray that you come back with "Reasonable" results, or else you and Inferno will be punished severely! (Turns to Inferno) Inferno! With me, now!
Megatron turned around and stormed out of the room with Starscream and Lugnut as Inferno walked with Megatron with a little bit of nervousness as Blackarachnia turned back to Blitzwing.
Blackarachnia: (Sighs) Okay, well let's get started, just try not to strangle me while I'm doing this.
Blitzwing: (Faceplate turns Red) Don't try to get me Offline then Spider!
Blackarachnia: (Frowns) I can already tell this is going to be a while...
After just about enough amount of time has passed, Blackarachnia and Blitzwing came back to Megatron as they both walked to the Nemesis's Throne room, with Megatron sitting down in his seat while Starscream, Lugnut and Inferno stood next to his throne in silence, just staring at the two as they both bowed before their Leader.
Blackarachnia: (Bows before Megatron) My Lord...
Megatron: Rise... Do tell us of your reports.
Blackarachnia: Of course... I've looked into Blitzwing's Neural Processor, and whatever malfunction the machine had, it resulted in him not only getting an Upgrade, but also having three Personalities that are based around part of his Upgrades, from Ice and Fire. (Turns to Blitzwing) As you can see, his Faceplate is Blue, which indicates his more Icy, calm and smart side, and he's able to shoot Ice in it.
Blitzwing: (Turns Red) What do you mean that personality is smart?! Are you calling me dumb now?! ARE YOU?!
Blackarachnia: And as you can see from his face now, it indicates his Fiery side, which consists of being a Hothead, and completely angry, and can shoot fire with this personality..
Blitzwing: (Turns Black) Ooh! Deadlier huh? Let's try something crazy then! HAHAHA!
Blackarachnia: And of course, there's his most crazier side, which for this personality, he can shoot Fire and Ice at the same time with this personality.
Megatron: What does that supposed to prove though?
Blackarachnia: It proves that he's crazy and well equipped for combat my Lord, if you allow it.
Blitzwing: (Bows before Megatron, changing into his Icy personality) I still wish to serve you Lord Megatron, despite the many personalities that I carry in mein systems.
Megatron: (Looks at Blitzwing) Hmm... Well... As long as Blitzwing remains to carry his loyalty, then I shall allow Blackarachnia to continue being the main scientific expertise in the Nemesis.
Starscream: (Raises an unbelieveable expression) What?! Are you insane?!
Lugnut: (Turns to Starscream angrily) How dare you! Disrespecting our great leader like that!
Megatron: (Turns to Lugnut) Lugnut, shut up. (Turns to Starscream) Starscream, are you making an objection right now?
Starscream: What do you think?! (Points at Blackarachnia) She ended up messing up with an experiment that was meant to make Blitzwing a Triple Changer! Ranging from three Vehicle Modes, consisting of a Fighter Jet, a Tank, and a Helicopter, and instead, we have a Triple Changer of three insane personalities! And here you are allowing this Techno Organic to be let loose after her failure?
Blackarachnia: (Raises a brow) My failure?
Starscream: (Turns to Blackarachnia angrily) Yes, your failure! And as 2nd in Command, I say we should make a punishment to the one responsible for this setback!
Blackarachnia: (Glares at Starscream) Well I'm sorry, you ignorant, knock off! But in case you haven't noticed, it was Inferno that made the Frag up, not me!
Inferno: I was trying to aim at you lady.
Blackarachnia: (Turns to glare at Inferno) Yeah, because you're an idiot!
Inferno: (Looks up at Blackarachnia and glares) Excuse me?!
Megatron: SILENCE! I will have order on my ship at once!
All Decepticons: (Went to their postures) Sorry Lord Megatron.
Megatron: (Groans in annoyance) Now... Starscream, as my 2nd in Command, you do make a valid point in not having an incident like this be left without any kind of Punishment... (Turns to Blackarachnia) Now... As we are all loyal Decepticons, I shall not have any executions, but an indefinite leave from my chain of command for the one who had failed... And I believe we all know who it is... (Looks at Inferno) Inferno...
Inferno: (Widens his Optics in shock, looking around at everyone and then looks at Megatron) M-Me, my Lord?
Megatron: (Turns to his attention to Inferno) I believe back in the lab, Blackarachnia had mentioned the fact that you thrown a wrench at her, and in turn, resulted in causing the machine to malfunction and to have Blitzwing having three personalities, that is true, is it not?
Inferno: (Scoffs) My Lord... You're not seriously going to kick me out of the Decepticon Cause, are you?
Megatron: No, you have been one of the most loyal Mechs on my side, but your arrogant and reckless behavior around Blackarachnia had resulted in this slight setback, and I cannot have soldiers that mess around, so I am having you reporting to the 4th Decepticon Division, you can be rest assured, I placed coordinates on your Processor.
Inferno: Lord Megatron, please, I have been at your Chain of Command for Stellar Cycles! You cannot possibly do this to me!
Megatron: Yes... Of that, I am aware...
Lugnut: (Turns to Megatron) Master, forgive me, but I also known Inferno in battle, he is one of our greatest warriors to have, one in the Chain of Command!
Starscream: And If I read his details right, Inferno is one of the most ranked in ranged and explosive combat!
Megatron: My decision still stands, Inferno was the one who was responsible for the setback, and in turn, he must be brought a lesson not to repeat things ever again.
Starscream: But why can't we just get rid of the Techno Organic? Surely, her Organic half can't survive through Space-
Megatron: (Turns his head angrily towards Starscream) Unless you prefer either an execution or exile along with Inferno for insubordination Starscream, you better be very wise of the next choice of words that comes out of your Glossa.
Starscream: (Widens his Optics and regained his posture) W-Whatever you say is yours to command, my liege.
Megatron: Much better. (Turns to Inferno) Now, Inferno, go and pack your things to a shuttle, you are to leave within the next Orbital Cycle.
Inferno: (Looks at Megatron in disbelief, but then turns to Blackarachnia in a hateful matter) You... You made this happen! You ended my rank and honor!
Blackarachnia: (Folds her Servos) And do I look like I care how?
Inferno just glared at her before stomping his way out of the Throne room, as the rest of the Decepticons are gathered in their leader's presence.
Megatron: Now... On to our main discussion, Starscream has detected the location of the Allspark, Starscream, care to share details?
Starscream: Yes, my liege, I have detected high amounts of energy emitted somewhere in this region, it is not far from where we are, but is should take a couple of Solar Cycles to begin our journey.
Megatron: Then we must get moving, for if it is the Allspark, it will be a new dawn for the Decepticons...
Starscream: (Leaves the room muttering) Yes it will... Without your wasted leadership that is... It's about time someone else should take charge of the Decepticons... (Gets out a remote detonator on his hand) And I know that someone is me!
As everyone left, Blackarachnia walked to her quarters with Blitzwing on her tail.
Blitzwing: (Random, smiling) Look at Spider Femme! How she reacted to replacing Inferno!
Blackarachnia: Yeah? What's your point Three face?
Blitzwing: (Changes to Icy) I meant that you didn't seem to have any emotion shown when Inferno was exiled from Megatron's Command... Odd for an Ex Autobot like yourself.
Blackarachnia: Well... I've been like this since Archa 7, and there's only one Objective in life that I'm concerned, and I sure as Pit I'm not letting anyone or anything get in my way of vengeance... (Walks off)
Blitzwing: (Changes to Random) Ooh! What a Glitchy one she is!
As Blackarachnia walked to her Quarters, she couldn't help but feel a slight feeling of sorrow for what had occurred today, as she touched her left Servo slightly in regret...
53 Years later, in the African Safari.
We now find Blackarachnia in the Safari Jungle from where she last encountered the Autobots, as she was found on her stomach in the grass, looking up to see all kinds of wildlife as they all stared at her in wonder.
Blackarachnia: (Widens her Optics) You have got to be kidding me...
Suddenly, she heard the sounds of Waspinator grunting, and then she turned around to see him on the ground with all of his limbs taken apart due to the explosion made by him as he attempted to reattach his body whole.
Waspinator: (Grunts as he grabbed his one arm and attempted to reattach it) Oh! Stupid arm go back in Waspinator's Protoform now!
Blackarachnia: (Groans in annoyance) You're still Online?
Waspinator: (Turns his head around and sees Blackarachnia and growls) Spider Bot! Spider Bot made Wasp Waspinator just so Spider Bot do experiments on Waspinator!
Blackarachnia: Well, I was actually hoping that I could turn you back into a fully Cybertronian, but since the explosion you made and the fact we're stranded on a Safari of... (Looks around) Who knows where... I can't fix you now.
Waspinator: (Growls) Spider Bot lying! Spider Bot only want to no longer be Spider Bot! Spider Bot was only going to fix Spider Bot's self!
Blackarachnia: (Turns to Waspinator) Do you have any idea? How you're using your verbal communication right now?
Waspinator: (Raises a brow) What does Spider Bot mean by Waspinator's verbal? Waspinator's fine with verbal.
Blackarachnia: No, that's not even... (Looks up and Groans) Never mind, let's just figure out where we are first.
Waspinator: No! Spider Bot no longer Waspinator's friend! Spider Bot go Frag Spider Bot's self!
Blackarachnia: Listen to me! I get that you hate me right now for what happened last night, but that doesn't matter right now!
Waspinator: Doesn't matter?! Spider Bot tried to make Waspinator go Offline!
Blackarachnia: And I'll probably won't be able to figure out a way to get both of us out of our Techno Organic shells if you keep on Glitching over and over again!
Waspinator: Waspinator don't need to get out of Techno Organic Shell, Waspinator like what Waspinator is now.
Blackarachnia: Well I'm glad you do, but I don't!
Waspinator: (Looks away) Then that's Spider Bot's problem, not Waspinator's.
Blackarachnia: (Turns her head up) UGGGGH! Listen to me you-! (Stops momentarily and takes a deep Intake) Ok... Relax... Now... Maybe I won't be your friend, but maybe we can be necessary allies, since we both have someone that we hate... I want Optimus and Sentinel Offline, and based on your intentions, you also look like that you want to turn that Yellow Minibot into Scrap Metal, so from where I'm standing, you have two choices; One, you can either go on your own, and I'll just leave you behind while you try picking up your own parts back together, or Two, you and I can go work together, and not only will I help you fix your limbs, but I can also help exact revenge on those that wronged you the same thing that I was wronged... So, do we have a deal?
Waspinator: (Frowns as he turned back to Blackarachnia) Fine... But Bumble Bot has other Autobot friends! Autobots surely outnumber Waspinator and Spider Bot!
Blackarachnia: Hmm... (Turns around and looks at the local wildlife, making a smile) Well then... Maybe we will have to make ourselves some friends too.
Waspinator: Where are Spider Bot and Waspinator going to get friends?
Blackarachnia: (Turns to Waspinator) You leave that with me, now can I go help reattach your Servos now?
Waspinator: Waspinator is okay with Spider Bot now.
Blackarachnia: Great. (Grabs Waspinator's one arm and reattaches it without any trouble, and then grabs his legs and reattaches them too) There, easy as cutting a cake.
Waspinator: (Rubs his arm) Waspinator thank Spider Bot for helping Waspinator. (Stands up) Now where do we find friends?
Blackarachnia: (Turns around, looking at a Young Cub) Well, if you're so interested, the key to making friends is to-
She stopped dead on her tracks when a Male Lion came to the Cub, along with the Female, making her watch as the small family went to care for each other, causing multiple flashbacks in her mind, back in the time when she was Elita One, as one flashback was the day her Son was born, the other was where she kissed Optimus at a bridge in Iacon during the night, the 3rd being with her, Optimus and Sentinel having a good time socially, especially when a jar of Pink Paint landed on top of Sentinel and she and Optimus both laughed hysterically at that, and then the last one was the memorable moment as she and Optimus leaned both of their Helms together while she held their Sparkling in her Servos.
Optimus: (In a Flashback) For our family...
She was now back into reality again as the Lion family started to leave and move on to another part of the Safari, while she just stood there, having one shed of tear coming out of her Optics.
Waspinator: (Tilts his Head at Blackarachnia, confused as he faced her back) Spider Bot? What was Spider Bot saying?
Blackarachnia: (Quickly wipes her tears and turns around to Waspinator) What?
Waspinator: About making friends. Spider Bot was explaining how to make friends.
Blackarachnia: Right... About that... Maybe this isn't the right place to look for friends out here, since we, um... Hardly know where are, and it certainly looks like we'll find any Bot around here.
Waspinator: (Looks around the Safari) Hmm... Spider Bot's right... Maybe Waspinator and Spider Bot should leave big Jungle and Palm Trees and go back to big city.
Blackarachnia: Exactly, I'm glad we're on the same page for once.
Waspinator: Fine... (Looks around again and turns back to Blackarachnia) Um, just one thing though... Where is big city?
Blackarachnia: Oh? (Looks around the Safari) Oh... Right, this part... (Sighs) Something tells me this is going to take a while...
2 Months Later, in Detroit.
In the city of Detroit, at Midnight, the Docks was not filled with any workers, besides one Night Guard, who was sleeping on the job as the cameras were on, showing footage of all parts of the harbor, including the Pier that was connected to Lake Erie, as footage showed a shadowed hand grasping onto the ground, and then we switch to Blackarachnia literally climbing up the docks just so she could get to solid ground, along with Waspinator, who's wings were fluttered with water and could not be able to fly properly as they both climbed up, and then once they reached the length covering their waists, they moved forward and slumped onto their backs, panting as looked at the night blue sky.
Blackarachnia: (Pants as she looked at the sky) Finally! Out of the water!
Waspinator: (Pants as he turned his head to Blackarachnia) Are Waspinator and Spider Bot there yet?
Blackarachnia: (Moves her head up and looks around) I don't know... (Slowly gets up) But something tells me that we made it... (Sees a Detroit sign) There, see? We made it!
Waspinator: (Slowly gets up) Waspinator don't remember smoke inside big city...
Blackarachnia: (Turns to Waspinator) What do you mean?
Waspinator: Waspinator talking about smoke, can't Spider Bot see?
Waspinator pointed at the sky, and she looked up to it to see layers of smoke coming out of Detroit while rescue helicopters were seen as well.
Blackarachnia: (Looks up at the sky) Well, looks like we missed a pretty big party... (Turns to Waspinator) How's your wings holding up?
Waspinator; Waspinator's wings feeling much better now Waspinator out of water, why Spider Bot ask?
Blackarachnia: I'm curious to what to what I missed today.
Blackarachnia then got onto Waspinator's back and then they flew up to the city, where they found a lot of destruction wrecked from a battle previously from today, as they looked around and saw the many citizens helping each other out while news teams gathered footage of everything going on.
Blackarachnia: (Looks around the city) Well, Detroit certainly has seen better days...
Waspinator: (Looks around the streets, looking for the Autobots) Waspinator don't see Autobots anywhere Spider Bot.
Blackarachnia: That's because they're probably out helping someone else out on putting out a fire or whatever.
Waspinator: But Waspinator don't see one Autobot Spider Bot, not even Bumble Bot or Sarge Bot.
Blackarachnia: I doubt "Sarge Bot" would even try sticking around, but then again, I do see your point... Where are the Autobots?
Waspinator: Autobots must be at Autobots base.
Blackarachnia: Of course, and it's not like you actually know where they live exactly.
Waspinator: (Scratches his cheek) Actually, Waspinator may know where Autobots located.
Blackarachnia: (Turns her head to Waspinator) You're sure? Where is it then?
Waspinator: Well... It's at weird building... With big giant tree, and is next to a bridge.
Blackarachnia: Do you know the street name?
Waspinator: (Scratches his chin) Um... Waspinator not sure of street name.
Blackarachnia: (Groans as she face palmed herself) Just show me where it is...
Later, Waspinator flown Blackarachnia to the Autobot Base, at the Plant where it was quiet, no Autobots inside the building as they broke through inside through one of the windows, the two Techno Organics landing to the ground while she let go off of him.
Blackarachnia: (Looks around the Plant, all dark) Ok... This is odd, usually Optimus doesn't ignore danger, and yet, he and his Autobots are asleep?
Waspinator: (Wasn't even paying as he flew around the Plant) BUMBLE BOT! Come out wherever Bumble Bot hiding, so Waspinator can destroy you! (Gets his mouth shut by Blackarachnia's Web)
Blackarachnia: (Walks to Waspinator) Shut up! You're going to blow our cover!
Waspinator: (Takes the Web off of his mouth and turns to Blackarachnia) But Waspinator want Bumble Bot to know where Waspinator is so Bumble Bot will be terrified!
Blackarachnia: Well I don't! Besides, that will ruin my surprise on them if they know we're here.
Waspinator: Well then why aren't Autobots coming then?
Blackarachnia: Well I don't know-! (Widens her Optics and looks around) Oh yeah... Why exactly aren't they coming then if they know we're here? And more importantly, why hasn't their alarms gone off? I thought you said they have an alarm system set up in here?
Waspinator: The last time Wasp was here framing Bumble Bot, yes... Maybe Autobots' alarm needs fixing?
Blackarachnia: No, they would have fixed it by now... (Looks around the hall) Something isn't right here... If they aren't here, then where are they at exactly? (Turns around to Waspinator) Are you sure you didn't see any of the Autobots out on the streets?
Waspinator: Waspinator didn't see any Bot at all, just little Organics.
Blackarachnia: This is strange... The fires... There must have been a battle recently...
Waspinator: (Widens his Optics) Bumble Bot didn't go Offline along with Autobots did he?
Blackarachnia: Of course not! Although, I hope not, I was hoping to kill Optimus right before Megatron or any other Decepticon did.
Waspinator: But Bumble Bot can't go Offline yet! Waspinator wanted to Offline Bumble Bot first!
Blackarachnia: Oh relax will you? Besides, we don't even know what exactly happened yet. (Turns to the TV) Maybe some human TV will do some info for us. (Turns on the TV, displaying news reports)
Live Reporter: (On Screen) -One of America's greatest disasters known is history today, as we oversee the damage left by the battle between the Autobots and the Decepticons. (Shows a video of Optimus Prime fighting Megatron in his Jetpack) As we can see, Optimus Prime had a previous battle with a large Decepticon twice his size, but fortunately, it appeared he had won the battle, due to the Decepticon being on the ground to what appears to be some kind of Cuffs attached to his wrists...
Blackarachnia: (Widens her Optics, in shock) He did it... Optimus beat Megatron...
Waspinator: (Widens his Optics in surprise) Autobots beat Mega Bot?! That's crazy! Nearly impossible!
Blackarachnia: Impossible's isn't a word I'd use, but yes, I do see your point...
Waspinator: Well... Maybe Waspinator should have gotten here sooner to see that happening... (Widens his Optics and turns to Blackarachnia) Wait! If Autobots and Bumble Bot beat Mega Bot, then that means-!
Blackarachnia: They went back to Cybertron, how typical...
Waspinator: (Whines as he placed both of his hands on his cheeks) Oh! There's no way Waspinator could go back on Cybertron, not with Wasp's wanted there! (Slumps down on the couch) Now there's no way Waspinator get revenge on Bumble Bot if Bumble Bot's not here anymore!
Blackarachnia: And there's no way I can get my revenge if Optimus isn't here anymore... That's just great...
Waspinator: (Groans) Now what are Waspinator and Spider Bot going to do now?
Blackarachnia didn't say anything else as she watched the TV playing the news, now displaying an advertisement on screen.
Museum Advertiser: (On screen on TV) Hello Folks! If you want to feel the very most historical experience, then stop by at Jurassic Zoo! (Shows pictures of animal robots) Lions, Tigers, Rhinos, all part of the Zoo! And as a bonus! (Shows display of two Dinosaur Robots) We have Dinosaurs too! Coming soon in July next year, so feel free to stop by next summer!
Blackarachnia: (Makes a devious smile) How about I stop by very much sooner then... (Gets up) Let's go.
Waspinator: (Turns to Blackarachnia) Spider Bot and Waspinator doing something? What are Spider Bot and Waspinator doing?
Blackarachnia: Remember back in that Safari Jungle two months ago that we would start looking for friends?
Waspinator: Yeah, but if Waspinator remembered correctly, Spider Bot said that looking for friends not a good time.
Blackarachnia: That was before Waspinator. (Turns around to Waspinator, cracking a smile) And since Optimus and his crew are going to be busy for a while, I think it's time we introduce ourselves to some, "Friends"...
The next day at Jurassic Zoo, the park was under construction as the person that was running the management was none other than Porter C. Powell, who was overlooking the construction placements and the trailers that was setup for work places.
Powell: (Sighs relaxingly as he looked at the place) Look at this park... This has dollar signs written all over it!
Construction Worker 1: (Walks over to Powell with three of his co-workers) Hey! Powell! Are ya busy?
Powell: (Turns to the Construction Worker) Next time, you'll address me as "Boss" because I am the one that will be in charge of this sweet simple operation.
Construction Worker 1: We ain't calling you crap unless you pay us first.
Powell: (Raises a brow) Uh... Excuse me?
Construction Worker 2: (Steps forward) You heard us fancy pants! We got to get paid now!
Powell: But why? I just hired you all last week!
Construction Worker 3: And our families just got low on cash real quick yesterday since that incident with the robots!
Construction Worker 2: And we need to get some more cash to support them!
Construction Worker 1: Exactly, so that's why you need to pay us now.
Powell: (Just makes a smirk) Oh, I see what this is... This is a Strike going on right here, ain't it? Well let me get this through to your heads very simple...
Powell then went to make all kinds of economical smart talk to the workers, unbeknownst to any of them, Blackarachnia was webbing up all the robots that was seen on the advertisement, and then once she was done, she made a big wrap that carried all of them as she climbed up to Waspinator and then they took off, flying away with the stolen robots at hand as Powell continued to talk to the workers.
Powell: (Not even noticing Blackarachnia and Waspinator in the sky) And if you all want to keep your jobs, then you might as well shut your pie holes and keep working, and don't ever complain to me about getting paid, because you'll get paid when you'll get paid!
Construction Worker 1: (Notices Blackarachnia and Waspinator stealing the robots) Uh-
Powell: Ah ah ah! I'm not done! You boys will get paid when you get paid, as soon as this park is finished, and all my robots are going to be entertaining audiences from all around!
Construction Worker 2: Except you ain't got no Robots anymore.
Powell: (Makes a confused expression) What do you mean?
Construction Worker 3: He means the Robots are getting stolen ya nerd!
Powell: (Widens his expression) WHAT?! (Turns around, only to find the Robots gone) WHAT?! NO! How did this happen?!
Construction Worker 1: I don't know, but I do know one answer, and that answer is "We quit", so go find some other punk to do your job. (Turns around) Come on boys, we're outta here. (Leaves with his co-workers)
Powell: (Glares at the workers) Fine! I'll find some more! I promise you that! (Gets out his phone and starts typing) Just wait till I get a phone call from their next job and then let's see how they all like it when-! (Gets a phone call from the bank) The bank? What do they want? (Answers the call) What is it?
Bank: Is this Mr. Powell on the line?
Powell: Of course it is, who else would it be? Now what do you want?
Bank: My boss just wanted us to call you and let you know that you owe the bank $2 billion in price.
Powell: $2 billion?! Are you kidding me?! Ugh, fine, just look at my account, you'll get your money.
Bank: That's another thing sir, I also wanted to call you to inform you that you have gone bankrupt, have a nice day! (Hangs up the line)
Powell: (Widens his eyes) What?! (Goes back to his phone and check his bank account) Tell me this a joke on me right now, tell this is-! (Checks his account, indicating $0 on his account) WHAT! NO! What is-! (Gets a message, saying his phone is being deactivated, and then his phone lost all battery) NO! (Throws his phone to the ground and stomps at it) This cannot be! I am Porter C. Powell! I can't have my life go through this high only to go down low! This is not happening!
Blonde Woman: (Standing behind Powell) Ahem!
Powell: (Turns around, seeing a Blonde Woman) Who are you?
Blonde Woman: Mr. Powell, I believe that you have just found out about your... Financial situation you're going through?
Powell: Oh, let me guess! I've lost the Penthouse too?!
Blonde Woman: No, not yet at least, but I am here to offer you a job... One that helps you beneficially at most at your situation...
Powell: (Raises a brow) Who are you again?
Blonde Woman: (Gives out a small smile) I'm at legal advisement not to say the company name due to company policy, but if you like, you can just call me Lena...
Later, down at the sewers, Blackarachnia and Waspinator looked over at the animal drones they have acquired from the Zoo as they had their equipment set up.
Waspinator: Waspinator don't understand, these Bots are our friends?
Blackarachnia: Yes, they are. (Making place for her tech)
Waspinator: (Turns to look at the Bots) Well, that's really odd, considering they're taking a Stasis Nap.
Blackarachnia: (Turns to the drones) Oh, but our friends will wake up, they all will. (Grabs a piece of an Allspark Fragment) One at a time...
And so, Blackarachnia began experimentations over the next 6 months, experimenting on the Zoo Drones, modifying their Robot Modes, while giving life to each one of them, including the couple of new Dinobots that became a part of her army, as we reach the 6th month, she placed a Allspark Fragment inside one last drone, the Lion, placing it inside it's Spark Chamber, and in doing so, bringing it to life as he got up on his feet and turned to all the strangers around him in his newly awakened life.
Lion: (Gasps as he turns to Blackarachnia and her army) Who... Who am...?
Blackarachnia: You probably don't have a name, but given that you're a lion, I can give you a name that is really big for kicks, I'll call you... Razorclaw...
Razorclaw: (Places a finger on his chin) Hmm... Razorclaw... Like... (Turns to his fellow Allsparked Drones) Who are Bots?
Divebomb: (Flies above Razorclaw) Divebomb is Divebomb's name!
Rampage: (Roars as he came tackling at Razorclaw) Rampage is Rampage's name!
Backslash: (Slithers to Razorclaw and Transforms from a Snake into his Robot Mode) Backssslash...
Tantrum: (Roars as he tackled Rampage off of Razorclaw in his Bull Mode and then Transformed into his Robot Mode) TANTRUUUUM! (Pounds his own Chestplate so many times)
Blackarachnia: (Chuckles) Now now boys, let's give Razorclaw a chance to adjust first, besides, he did just came Online now did he? (Moves to Razorclaw, who was seductively walking on purpose)
Razorclaw: (Standing up and looking at how hot Blackarachnia is) Ooh... Razorclaw like Spider Lady...
Tantrum: (Growls and punches Razorclaw on the arm) HEY! Tantrum saw Spider Lady first! Spider lady belongs to Tantrum!
Rampage: (Roars and turns to Tantrum) Spider Lady not belong to Tantrum! Spider Lady belongs to Rampage!
Razorclaw: (Now growling, turns to both Tantrum and Rampage) Spider Lady don't belong to Tantrum or Rampage! Spider Lady belongs to Razorclaw! (Moves forward to Ramage, knocking him off to the ground and then grabs Tantrum and throws him to a wall, knocking him out) RAAAGH! (Pounds his own Chestplates)
Blackarachnia: (Sighs) Why do I always look like I'm part of a cheerleading contest? (Turns to Razorclaw) Well Razorclaw, looks like you've won the contest of being pack leader of the team!
Razorclaw: Really? Which team does Razorclaw be leading?
Blackarachnia: Um... Let's see, Snake, Bull, Eagle, and Snake, they're all a part of your team now.
Razorclaw: Ooh! So we're like our own Predacons?
Blackarachnia: No I-! (Stops for a moment) Wait... Predacons huh? That sounds like a good name to fit in... Predacons, I like that, we are all the Predacons! Razorclaw, you lead this team, but I remain in charge though.
Razorclaw: Razorclaw confused. Isn't Razorclaw supposed to tell what Spider Lady to do?
Blackarachnia: (Places her hands around his Chestplates) Aw... Will you let me lead for mommy?
Razorclaw: (Nose bleeds as he blushes) Yes mommy!
Blackarachnia: (Sighs as she face palms herself) That doesn't mean you're supposed to call me that...
Razorclaw: (Raises a brow) So you're not a mommy?
Blackarachnia: Yes! (Widens her Optics) No! Ugh... Forget it... It's none of your business anyway...
Waspinator: (Turns to Blackarachnia) Spider Bot was a mommy?
Blackarachnia: (Uses her Pincers to stab Waspinator and takes his Upgrade, knocking him out) Like I said, none of your business! Phew, now let's go watch something already... (Turns on the monitor screen, displaying the news)
News: (On screen) -And now after 6 months following the Battle of Detroit, the Autobots are seen to have come back to the city as citizens are seen praising them in joy while they caught known criminal Angry Archer... We have live feed to display. (Shows image of Optimus Prime, Ratchet, Bumblebee, Jazz and Ironhide on the streets)
Blackarachnia: (Looks at Optimus) So after all this time... You're finally back...
Razorclaw: Um... Spider Lady? What do we do now?
Blackarachnia: Right... (Turns to her fellow Predacons) You are going to take the rest of the Predacons and hide somewhere in the city until I tell you to come out...
Razorclaw: When do we come out?
Blackarachnia: When I tell you to! Now stop asking questions and move!
The Predacons didn't say anything but did what they were told to do as they walked out of the sewers, while she came back to the screen, looking at Optimus, making a sad sigh to herself as she began reflecting on the word "Mommy"...
Koan, The Present.
Blackarachnia was back in her cell looking at Inferno, who was being a complete Afthole to her as he moved his face up all close on her face.
Inferno: So freak? Do you remember or do I have to say it out loud? (Gets stabbed by a Pincer and falls unconscious)
Blackarachnia then get free from her Stasis Cuffs due to borrowing an Upgrade from Inferno and then turned to the rest of the Decepticons, who were all standing in front of her, getting their weapons ready.
Strika: The prisoner! She's loose!
Shockwave: (Grabs a Stun Blaster and aims at Blackarachnia) Dear Lady, I was hoping not to use this, but if you keep acting out this way-!
Blackarachnia: Will everyone calm the Frag down already? I made a decision...
Shockwave: (Lowers his Blaster) Ooh? And what would that be?
Blackarachnia: (Looks at the Decepticons) Now... I get everyone of you probably hate me because I'm a Techno Organic, but let's get one thing clear... I will agree to help you all, with a few conditions, One; don't let Slaggers like that one laying on the floor get up on my Faceplate again, Two; When I want to work on something, I want to work on it without any objections, and I want to work alone, and Three; If anyone starts to call me a Freak just one more time, I'm done, and none of you will probably not see me coming because by the time you realized I quit, I'll be long gone from here... (Looks around) Any questions?
Shockwave: (Looks around at his fellow Decepticons and turns to Blackarachnia) If that is what you request, then I'm sure Lord Megatron will not mind those details...
Blackarachnia: (Sighs) Good... Now, where is Lord Megatron at-! (Feels sudden pain in her body) GAH! (Falls to the floor)
Blitzwing: (Random) Oh look! The Spider tripped! HA!
Shockwave: (Gets down and looks at Blackarachnia) We can't loose her, not when we just got her back! Someone take Blackarachnia to the Medical Center!
Cyclonus: (Raises a brow) You're serious?
Shockwave: What is the matter with you?! She just fell unconscious to the ground!
Blitzwing: (Changes to Hot) Do you expect us to actually pick her up?!
Slipstream: (Rolls her Optics) Ugh! Fine, if anyone wants to keep Glitching, I'll carry her up! (Grabs Blackarachnia by the shoulder and walked along with her)
Blackarachnia awoke in a Berth as she saw she was in the Medical center, and Slipstream was right next to her.
Slipstream: (Noticed Blackarachnia was awake) Oh, you're still Online.
Blackarachnia: (Groans as she got up) What happened?
Slipstream: You fell down in your cell unconscious, that's what happened.
Blackarachnia: Why would I do that?
Slipstream: I had no idea, until Oil Slick found out why.
Blackarachnia: He did? Okay, what's wrong with me?
Slipstream: (Sighs) I don't want to get you all hyped up, but the thing is... Slick said that the Techno Organic half of you is starting to wither away... Like it's dying, and it looks like your Spark is also joining along for the ride.
Blackarachnia: (Just looks at Slipstream with a surprised look) H-How... How long?
Slipstream: A good long while at least, so I think you'll be fine.
Blackarachnia: Like Pit I am... (Looks at a window)
Slipstream: (Folds her Servos) You know, Inferno mentioned you wanted revenge for something that happened to you a thousand Stellar Cycles back... So the question is, are you still up for the whole revenge drama?
Blackarachnia began to turn around, only to be looking at a mirror, and instead of looking at her Techno Organic side, she was looking at Elita One, who was mirroring her actions as she looked at her past self.
Slipstream: (Noticed Blackarachnia was looking in the mirror) Well? What are you looking at?
Blackarachnia: (Turns to Slipstream) Nothing, just looking at myself.
Slipstream: (Raises a brow) So... If you don't want revenge anymore, then what exactly do you want?
Blackarachnia: I... (Turns her head to Slipstream) I honestly have no idea what I want anymore...
She just sat on her Berth while the bright full moon hovered over the horizon, brightening the night as Koan remained quiet...
