Arcee and Wheeljack walk quietly through the cave as they head to the exit. Wheeljack breaks the silence as he vents out a sigh, "Okay, running from Bulk, shutting down like that. Pretty spineless of me."

"On the bright side. You have plenty of backbone now," Arcee says as she glances back at the spine Wheeljack is dragging behind them.

Wheeljack glances back as well before looking at her with a smile, "When did you get such a sense of humor?"

"Let's just say, you've been quite an influence on me. Both good and bad," Arcee responds with a laugh.

Wheeljack scoffs as he thinks of a come back to that, but before he could Arcee's comm goes off. Arcee answers it and they both hear Jack,:: Arcee I need your help... My mom and Fowler may be in serious trouble. :: Arcee and Wheeljack immediately leave to go help June and Fowler.

"Last chance she human," Knockout says as the sound of a train beginning to move is heard, "If you're not out here with my prize in two-point three seconds your boyfriend here..." He trails off as he looks over at the train that's pulling out.

Once the train is completely out of the way he sees June standing there holding the crate, "Okay first, not me boyfriend," June says and Knockout looks at Fowler like 'dude you just got friend zoned', "And second, you're not laying a metal digit on him," she continues before she smashes the crate on the ground. She looks down at it before looking back up at him, "Not if you ever want to see your precious talon again."

Knockout moves towards her and picks her up, "Where is it?"

"Leave her alone!" Fowler shouts from Knockout's other servo.

June struggles before speaking, "I hid it on a train car, let us go and I'll tell you which one," she says smugly.

Knockout grunts as he glares at her before looking to one side of the train yard, he then does a mixture of a grunt and a growl as he glares at her again before looking over at the train that just left. He smiles as he looks back at them, "Try as you might, you can't con a 'Con," Knockout then transforms and drives after the train.

As Knockout drives at high speed to chase after the train he looks at June and Fowler in his backseat through his rearview mirror, "Fasten your seatbelts, it's gonna be a bumpy ride," June and Fowler struggle with the seatbelts trying to get them undone, "Oh, wait. You can't unfasten your belts, my bad."

After a moment Knockout tries to reach the Nemesis again, "Knockout to Lord Megatron. Please come in!"

:: Knockout, do you have the Predacon bone? ::

"In my sights, my liege. As are a pair of Autobots riding my rear."

:: Understood. Just make sure you secure the specimen. ::

"One of them is Arcee..."

Before Knockout could finish Megatron growled as he started speaking,:: Capture her, Knockout! Don't come back without her! ::

"Yes, my liege."

Arcee drives up ahead of Wheeljack in an attempt to reach Knockout, a ground bridge opens up behind them and a few Insecticons come flying through. A few go after Wheeljack while two go after Arcee, not aiming to kill her but making sure she keeps going forward and separating her from Wheeljack. Arcee transforms and flies through the air as she shoots at one of the Insecticons making it crash into the ground as she transforms and drives off after Knockout.

Wheeljack could see what they were up to, they were trying to keep them apart so Arcee will fall into Megatron's clutches. He won't allow that. He transforms while jumping up into the air, he brings out his swords and slices two of the Insecticons before transforming again and driving off. One Insecticon flies straight towards him and knocks him over, he transforms as he goes sliding across the ground.

Wheeljack dodges all of their shots as he starts shooting back, he takes them down one by one and he transforms again. He drives after Arcee but the Insecticon that's following her turns around and starts attacking him.

Arcee catches up to Knockout trailing behind him, but she's not fast enough to reach him. She watches as Knockout drives up the side of the train and transforms, releasing June and Fowler from his backseat to send them falling to the ground. Arcee transforms and catches them just before they hit the ground. She gently puts them down on the ground before she transforms, "Stay here," she tells them before driving off.

After Knockout grabs the talon off of the train car he transforms and continues driving, but he goes a bit slower so Arcee can catch up to him, "Lord Megatron, I have your specimen and your femme. I just need a ground bridge," a second later a ground bridge opens up in front of him.

Knockout transforms and slides to a stop as he pulls out his electric rod. Arcee transforms and slides towards him, she had too much momentum going and now she can't stop herself quick enough. It felt like it was happening in slow motion, she slides right into the rod as Knockout jabbed it at her. Electricity shoots through her systems before she blacks out.

After Wheeljack took down the last Insecticon he picks up June and Fowler and goes after Arcee. He gets to Arcee and Knockout in time to see the red mech pick up her unconscious body and take her through the ground bridge, "No! Arcee!" He shouts as he drives towards them. But he's too late, the ground bridge closes by the time he gets there. He transforms dropping June and Fowler to the ground, "ARCEE!" He shouts towards the night sky. His spark breaks as he feels like he's failed his mate once again.

When Arcee wakes up she finds herself in a very familiar room, The med-bay on the Nemesis? But how...? Her thoughts trail off as she remembers what happened, how Knockout had captured her. She looks around and finds the said doctor at a computer, "Knockout..." She begins but she doesn't know how to continue.

Knockout turns to look at her, "You're awake. Sorry, I had to electrocute you, I knew I couldn't just take you. You would put up a fight."

Arcee wanted to question him further but before she could the door opened and Megatron came walking through, "Hello, my dear. How are you feeling?"

Arcee glares at him, "What do you care!? When will you stop pursuing me and understand that I want to be with Wheeljack, not you!?"

Megatron growls, "That wrecker should feel lucky that he's still alive! And now that you two are sparkmates I can not kill him without killing you as well!" Megatron looks over at Knockout, "Knockout, what did the scans show?"

Knockout started looking nervous as he glanced over at Arcee before looking at him which made Arcee start to panic. Primus no.

"Well, my liege. Um..."

Megatron was growing irritated with the doctor, "SPIT IT OUT KNOCKOUT!"

Knockout jumps before speaking, "She's sparked, my liege."

Megatron looks at him blankly as his processor tries to process the news he just heard, "What?"

"She's carrying a sparkling, my lord. Hers and the wrecker's."

Arcee starts panicking even more as Knockout reveals this news to the warlord, the very mech that killed her father. She lays her helm down against the berth as she closes her optics, she tries to calm herself because all this panicking isn't good for the sparkling. But it all flies out the window as her spark sinks at hearing what Megatron said.

"Kill it!"
