Author's note

In order to avoid confusion, this takes place right after Starscream left the Decepticons in season 1. So he won't be seen for a while but I do intend to have him. I want to follow the story line of the show but also mix with some ideas of my own.

Translation, Blyad means "slut" in Russian.

Warning: Cursing and gore.

The techno-organics

Chapter 16

The techno-organics had only just closed the door when Alabaster was abruptly attacked by something she for a moment mistook for Widow. Arachnid grabbed the girl by one of her antennas and tried to stab Alabaster with her spider legs but the albino reacted quickly by grabbing Arachnid by her small horns and throwing the bug away. Arachnid got up on her feet and hissed as she showed her pointy teeth. It didn't scare Alabaster, in fact, she oh-ed at the spider-con and admired Arachnids appearance.

"What a pretty lady you are," she complimented and giggled as she blushed. Arachnid slowly hid her teeth and let it turn into a flattered smile.

'I like this one,' she thought for herself before turning to the twins, Anastasia particular.

"Leaving so soon?" The spider said in a false disappointed tone. "I started to really like having another femme aboard." Anastasia didn't react much except shrugging and lifting her eyebrows. Arachnid attacked Alabaster again and send a kick right under her jaw. She attacked again with her spider legs but Alabaster blocked her using the blue armor around her lower arms and absorbed the force of Arachnids punches. Once she saw an opening she grabbed Arachnids arm and threw her fist towards her chest and used the stored up power she gathered in order to make a heavily bleeding wound in her black armor. Alabaster then grabbed Arachnid by the horns again and lifted her up to her face so she could lean in closer; and whispered sweetly with her childish voice.

"I really don't like hurting others, but you attacked me first," Alabaster put on her mask again and Arachnid gasped. "I have a friend who have you as her original, she don't like you very much and don't want anything to do with you; but I will still spare you." Arachnid felt a chill run trough her body as she listened to the creature speak. She was so different from her father and yet so alike. Arachnid used their short distance to try and stab her with her extra limbs again, but was stopped right as they were about to hit her opponent. She was engulfed in Alabaster's blue light and was held in the air unable to move. Alabaster put her hands around Arachnids head and turned her in different directions, like she studied the Decepticon. When she was done studying, Alabaster slammed Arachnid with a headbutt and she fell unconscious before Alabaster dropped her to the floor.

"Do you think Widow will be mad when we tell her I knocked out her original?" She asked innocently as she turned to the twins.

"I don't think so," Nikolai answered, "In fact, I think this will make her happy." Alabaster shrugged her shoulders before checking her mental map.

"Come!" She called to the twins before they all ran down the corridor.

"Flash?" Alabaster called trough the com-link.

"Yeah, I can hear you." He answered with relief in his voice.

"I found the twins and I'm on my way to join the others. Can you ask Canary to open a portal back to the Autobot's base?" She said and Flash turned to Canary to repeat Alabaster's request. The girl made a thumbs up before using her mental computer to locate the signals of her comrades and the Autobots. Screens showing up on the surface of her eye that only she could see or make out of. She then signed the word "working" to let Flash know what she was doing. Just as she triangulated their coordinates she noticed there were fewer of them. 'Where are Valkyrie and Freedom?' She thought for herself. She was just about to search for their signals as the door opened with half a dozen Vehicons on the other side. Flash reacted quickly and before any of them could understand what just happened, Flash had already sliced their throats open using the blades on his arms. He turned around to face Canary and saw her shaking with her upper chest bleeding. Her hands was pressed against the smoking wound close to her shoulder and red started to run between her fingers. Her head became light and her legs could no longer hold her weight. Flash ran forward and caught her as she gasped heavily trough the pain.

"It's okay." He told her. "Just promise me to keep your eyes open. Can you do that for me?" Canary answered with a thumbs up. Flash collected her small body and held her close as he rose and ran towards the door. He looked into the corridor to see shadows coming their way.

"Shit." He cursed and gave Canary a hard pat on the cheek. She struggled to open her eyelids before looking at Flash's shiny visor as her eyes grew dimmer.

"Canary, can you still open a portal for us?" He asked and she answered with a weak nod and raised her hand to spell, "M-I-S..."; but passed out before she could finish.

The Autobots and the techno-organics all worked together to fend of the Vehicons coming their way. They just had to stay put until Alabaster came back with the twins. Toni grabbed the metallic hand that went for her face and sliced the Vehicons throat with her exposed claws. As much as she hated getting her clothing ruined, the mission took priority. But she was satisfied to finally partake on the action after the Autobots stole her moment. Arcee transformed in order to tackle one Vehicon to the ground before shooting it in the head. She was then attacked by another group of troopers and used the dead body to should herself from their incoming fire, before jumping out of her hiding place and slashing her blades across their faces. They fell to the floor and Arcee transformed again in order to see if more Vehicons were coming their way. When she had gone a bit from the group she spotted Alabaster and two unfamiliar techno-organics coming their way. She drove back and spoke into her com-link.

"Optimus, Alabaster found the twins." Shortly after the techno-organics heard Flash's voice in their ears.

"Listen," He called out panting. Rock did something with his metallic half in order to let the Autobots hear. "Canary are going to open a portal where you're standing, but she's injured and I don't know how long she will be able to hold it open. HURRY!" He spoke more rapidly then usual as a portal appeared. But it was slowly closing.

"Autobots, Techno-organics," Optimus spoke to everybody. "Return to base." He stayed behind as he let everybody run trough. Flash finally arrived in a blue blur with Canary in his arms. He saw Alabaster with the twins before he ran trough the portal as well. Alabaster saw the portal shrink and feared that soon it would be too small for Optimus to walk trough without slicing a part of his frame off. In order to prevent that she pushed Optimus trough with her telekinetic power, which he loudly protested against as he disappeared trough the indigo vortex.

The portal was now closing faster, something must be seriously wrong with Canary. The three leaped forward but just when they all was almost trough someone started to shoot at them and hit Anastasia in the head. Anastasia fell to the floor and Nikolai tried to reach after but the portal closed and severed his arm. Anastasia's wound quickly healed as she rose up giving of red sparkles. Her heart sunk into her gut as she spotted her brothers dismembered arm. She looked at the spot it was laying on and the feeling of despair redoubled when she realized she was still on the warship. She gaped at her brothers arm without knowing what to do, and realizing that she for the very first time didn't have her brother. She was without her family, without Nikolai, Wasp or Rock or anybody; she was completely alone. The corners of her mouth pointed downwards as her lips started to shake and her sight blurred with stinging tears. Anastasia just sat there on her knees without knowing what to do next as she cried soundlessly. Clicking of heels was heard behind her but she didn't care to inspect who was walking towards her.

"I couldn't let you go," The feminine voice purred behind her and made Anastasia clench her fists. "We had a date, remember?" Anastasia could almost see the sadistic grin on the spidercon's face. The red head turned around and tackled Arachnid as she slashed against her face with her nails like an animal.

"Fucking bitch! Fucking bug eyed bitch! I'll kill you before I take this whole fucking ship down in a fucking cyclone that'll fucking KILL YOU ALL." She roared as she left three claw marks over Arachnids face. The spider finally had enough and shot the half breed in the chest. It distracted her long enough for Arachnid to push her off and get back on her feet. The wound healed as Anastasia didn't show any signs of being in pain. No grunting, panting or hunching over in pain, she just glared at the spider with terrifyingly pissed of eyes. She ran towards Arachnid and the spider extended her acidic claws. As Anastasia came closer Arachnid kicked Anastasia in the gut before slashing her claws over her face, leaving a burning claw mark over Anastasia's beautiful face as payback. She answered by sending a lightning bolt that made Arachnid fly and crash into a wall. Anastasia licked the palm of her hand and used it to wipe of the acid. The wounds healed together as the acid stopped bubbling. Arachnid realized that she wouldn't have any chance fighting her, she didn't have anything that could match her lightnings. She fled before Anastasia attacked her again.

"NO!" Anastasia shouted, "Comeback here you cowardly blyad." She chased after the eightlegger, sending lightning bolt after lightning bolt but Arachnid always jumped out of the way when one was about to hit her. Arachnid was truly scared now, not only was she more powerful then what she expected and had regeneration powers, but she also seemed to be immune to pain. How was she supposed to defeat her?

"This is commander Arachnid requesting backup." She called to the bridge and looked over her shoulder to see how close the techno-organic was. "I'm being chased by Anastasia and I can't defeat her on my own. Send backup, I repeat...Argh." She couldn't finish her sentence before a wave of electricity shot trough her. But the attack didn't come from behind, she felt the pain originate in her feet. When the wave disappeared Arachnid fell forward as Anastasia slowly walked closer to her.

"Do you wanna a fun science fact?" Anastasia purred as she came closer and placed her feet on either side of Arachnids waist so she stood right above the spider.

"Electricity travel faster trough metal then it does trough air or water. I simply aimed my attack at the floor and then it was impossible for you to go anywhere." This time it was Anastasia that wore the sadistic smile as she crouched over Arachnid and grabbed her by the back of her neck. Her hands already stung from the electricity she was generating in order to fry Arachnids head of. Every time Arachnid tried to attack her with her spider legs Anastasia sent a smaller shock down her spine, numbing the spider and making her almost unable to move. Arachnid awaited the unavoidable as she felt the half breed's hand warm up. She pressed her face onto the floor, not wanting anyone to see her scared expression.

Once again Anastasia could here the sound of metallic steps coming their way. These cybertronians did really not know how to move quietly. She looked up and saw a figure she for a moment mistook for being Canary. Another Decepticon but without a face that loomed over her like a phantom. Before Anastasia could curse at Soundwave he took up a footage of Freedom on a slab. Anastasia instantly lost her grin and her eyes got impossibly wide as she stared at the image of her injured friend. She was held down with restraints on her hands and feet, had a bloody stab wound on her gut and her lips were red with dried blood. And in case that wouldn't make the redhead stop, Soundwave showed another footage of Valkyrie being hung up by chains in one of their cells. What scared her with that new image was that she was completely still, if she was alright then she would trash and curse and try to fight those chains off her. Anastasia quickly let go of Arachnid and rose up with her hands over her head.

"Okay, okay. I won't hurt her." She gasped and took a few steps away from Arachnid to show she was serious. Arachnid grunted as she heaved herself up, partially numb and still feeling traces of electricity running all over her frame. Soundwave walked forward and showed Anastasia the energy draining handcuffs she had on before. She didn't object, didn't say a word as she lowered her arms and let Soundwave put them on.
