When Megatron steps outside his optics widen at the sight of the mech standing before him, "Shockwave! I was told that you were dead."
"Reports of my demise were greatly premature."
"Come in." Megatron says before turning to walk back inside.
Shockwave looks around at the building as he follows, "How did you get this building constructed so fast?"
"We used the Omega Lock." Megatron responds as Starscream comes running over to them, obviously curious about who the newcomer was.
"Shockwave? You're still alive?" Starscream questions in surprise.
"What exactly happened?" Megatron asks the scientist.
"A pair of Autobots infiltrated my facility here on Cybertron, sabotaging my spacebridge. I gave chase but failed to accurately calculate the outcome. I awoke in the ruble, blinded. It soon became clear that I was marooned on our dead planet, with no means of communication. In time I repaired my wounds and resumed my experiments, the solitude enabled me to make tremendous advances in my research. Until recently when I got a signal of unidentifiable energy, I drove all the way out to investigate it and found these newly built buildings. But there is still one question left unanswered. Why was I left for scrap? Abandoned. Why?"
Starscream starts trembling under Shockwaves glare as he stood only inches away, too close for Starscream's comfort, "Th-th-the explosion, it collapsed the power core chamber. The last thing anyone witnessed was you charging into the spacebridge portal, no one saw you come back out."
"I find your reply to be… logical." Shockwave says before looking at Megatron, "What happened to the Autobots? I know they wouldn't just allow you to take over the planet."
"We made a deal, they gave themselves up to be our prisoners in exchange for sparing Earth and the human race." Megatron responded as they walked through the corridors towards med-bay, "We've disabled all of their weapons and they have been tortured. All except for the femme, I have something else in mind for her."
Wheeljack sits on the Jackhammer with his helm in his servos, he can't stop thinking about what happened, hopefully, they all will make it. He's gonna dismantle those Decepticons 'til there's nothing left, before he could realize what he was doing he starts up his ship and takes off. He flies into space with Cybertron as his destination, he needs to figure out a way to get to the others and tell them what happened and maybe try to help them escape.
As soon as he leaves Earth's atmosphere he gets an incoming call from an unknown source. He looks at the monitor for a moment before answering the call, "Who is this?"
:: Soldier, this is Ultra Magnus. Meet me on Earth's moon. ::
Wheeljack wanted to question him but the call was cut off before he could. He changes course and heads for the moon which isn't too far away. When he gets there he lands next to Ultra Magnus' ship and gets out, he can't help but roll his optics when he sees the commander.
"Soldier! Come inside so we can talk."
Wheeljack vents out a sigh and walks over to the platform that Magnus is standing on, after he gets on it the platform lifts them up into the ship, "I'm guessing you heard about what happened?" Wheeljack asked as he walked onto the ship.
"I did. I received the transmission that Ratchet had sent out. Why were you not taken as well?"
"I wasn't with them when it happened and I guess bucket head didn't know I was on the planet."
"And where exactly were you going when I called you?"
"To Cybertron to see about helping the others."
"Without a spacebridge and backup? It would have been impossible, you would have just gotten yourself captured too or even killed."
"So what do you suggest we do?"
"We need to get other Autobots and form an army so we can take out the Decepticons and get control again. Before coming here I got word that Autobots are meeting up on a planet in a different solar system to come up with a plan to save Optimus and his team."
"I'm all in, especially if I get to beat the scrap out of some Decepticons." Wheeljack says as he pounds his fist into his servo, "Just tell me where the meeting is."
A few days have passed and it came time for Arcee to have her fight that will change her life. She's taken out of her room and lead to a gladiator arena that Megatron had built just for this occasion, no surprise he built that. When she enters the arena her spark immediately drops, she sees her team sitting in the stands all dented up and bleeding. There are pieces of metal torn off and limbs missing, they were all put through some serious torture, Optimus looking the worse, which really breaks her spark.
But despite their pain, they all smile when they see her, they're relieved that she was ok and she wasn't put through the same stuff they were. Arcee smiles back at them as she tries to hold back some lubricant that was threatening to escape her optic. She gets to the center as she looks around at the Decepticons, wondering who she's gonna face.
Megatron walks over and stands next to her before he starts speaking, "This is a new thing that will start taking place from now on! Any Autobot femme that we capture will be forced to fight any Decepticon mech that chooses to take her as a personal slave! If she wins then she will be set free, but if she loses she will belong to the mech that she lost to and she will have to do anything that he asks, even if it means pleasuring him!" A smirk forms on Megatron's face as he speaks and it grows wider when he looks at the Autobots and sees anger rising in them. They don't like this new idea and he knows it, "Arcee here will be the first one up! Let's bring out the mech and let the fight begin!"
Megatron walked off to the side and Soundwave came forward, Arcee's spark quickened as fear filled her frame. There's no way she can beat Soundwave.
