RANMA'S TRIP TO MAINFRAME
Written by ElektraChapter 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.
