RANMA'S TRIP TO MAINFRAME
RANMA'S TRIP TO MAINFRAME Written by Elektra Chapter Five
"My name is Ranma Saotome, heir to the Saotome school of Anything Goes Martial Arts!"

"And I'm Akane Tendo, heir to the Tendo school of Anything Goes Martial Arts.."

Silver Bolt furrowed his brow, "Where did you two come from??" he asked.

Female Ranma sighed, "Long story..."

"Hmm... can you two come with me? If you don't mind?" Silver Bolt asked.

Female Ranma and Akane shrugged, "Sure... why not.." Female Ranma replied, "This day can't get any weirder.."

"Where are you taking me..?" Soun asked Black Arachnia, "Please... I need to see my Akane!!"

Black Arachnia sighed, "Will you shut up..??"

Megatron looked at Soun, "Hmmm... perhaps it will be better to kill him.. yeeeeeesss..."

Black Arachnia seemed a little surprised, "Oh.. but... he is much more useful to us alive..!"

Megatron thought for a moment, "Yeeeesss... he is.. hmm. Here.. give him to me. I'll take care of him.." he plucked Soun off Black Arachnia's shoulder, and headed towards the Predacon's base.

Black Arachnia shrugged, and decided to go for a walk.

"Um.. Silver Bolt.. uh.. where are you taking us?" Akane asked.

"To the Maximal base. I'm sure Optimus would love to ask you some questions.."

Female Ranma stopped, "Uh.. this .. Optimus guy... is he.. nice..??"

Silver Bolt smiled, "Yes... he is a very good, very honourable leader. Do not worry... he won't try to harm you.."

Akane furrowed her brow, "Harm us??"

"Oh.. of course.. you don't know about the predacons... well... they are our enemies. Be happy you didn't run into them.."

Akane stopped dead in her tracks, "What would happen if we.. DID..?"

Silver Bolt looked at her, "Well... I don't know what Megatron would do if he found a human. He is not too fond of them..."

"Oh... my DAD!!!" Akane cried. "What if he ran into this Megatron??!"

"Then... it would be... bad..." Silver Bolt answered.

***

Black Arachnia heard voices. One was definitely Silver Bolt --- she could never forget his voice --- and the other voices she didn't recognize. 'Could it be.. the Akane and Ranma that human was talking about?' she asked herself. She decided to take a look for herself.

***

"Stop right there, Maximal!!" Black Arachnia called out when she ran into Silver Bolt and his friends. She aimed her weapons at him. "Hand over the humans..!"

Silver Bolt looked at her, "I am afraid I cannot do that, Black Arachnia.." he answered.

"If you don't, I will take them by force..." Black Arachnia threatened.

"Then.. it seems I am at a disadvantage. You know I will not fight you..." Silver Bolt replied.

Akane looked at Female Ranma, "Gee.. that sounds familiar!"

Black Arachnia aimed her gun at him, ready to shoot. Silver Bolt simply stood there. Black Arachnia took a step closer, "I am very serious, Maximal!"

"I understand. You are doing your duty. Megatron would be proud.." Silver Bolt replied.

Akane and Female Ranma looked at the scene before them.. then looked at each other, "What the heck...??" Female Ranma asked Akane. "I mean.. she's threatening him and stuff.. but she doesn't look like she wants to hurt him..."

Neither Black Arachnia nor Silver Bolt heard the comment, "I AM doing my duty... and if it means destroying you..." she stopped, looked hesitant, then returned to threatening, "If it means destroying you then I will.."

"Black Arachnia... you do not seemed surprised to see humans here. Do you have this young lady's father??" Silver Bolt motioned to Akane as he spoke.

"I wouldn't tell you if I did..!" Black Arachnia replied.

Silver Bolt stepped closer to her, "Please... it is not fair to keep this child from her father..."

Black Arachnia seemed to lower her weapons for a moment. She hesitated once more, then raised the weapons again, "Give them to me, and they will not be separated..!!"

Silver Bolt shook his head, "You know what Megatron will do to them..."

Black Arachnia seemed to soften a little, and once again lowered her weapon slightly.

Female Ranma and Akane looked at each other again, "Geez... I wonder if these two like each other or something!" Female Ranma replied sarcastically.

"Yes.. I know what he would do to them. He would take them to Predacon base and observe them.." Black Arachnia answered. It was if she was trying to tell him something.

Silver Bolt raised an eyebrow, "Yes.. he would..."

"I have to find my FATHER!! LET US GO!!" Akane shouted. She ran towards Black Arachnia, and punched her hard. The Predacon fell to the ground with a thud. Silver Bolt looked at Akane, eyes wide, "Don't just STAND there!! Let's go to this Predacon thing and find my FATHER!" She shouted. She began to run fast.

"Akane!! Dummy!! These guys are dangerous!!" Female Ranma ran after her.

Silver Bolt looked at Black Arachnia. Either she was unconscious, or playing possum. He took that as a good sign, and ran after the two humans.
