At the Autobot base Ratchet was at the computer looking for any signals, it's been over a month since Jack was captured by the Decepticons and disappeared, and everyone is still looking for him.

Miko and Raf are in the human area playing some video-games and Bulkhead and Bumblebee were cheering them on, but they were still worried for their missing friend, when they were out on scouting missions they wold look everywhere for him.

June was also there, Ratchet had asked her to teach him about human biology, he listened as he was working and as time passed he grow a great amount of respect for the woman and June also grew respect for the old medic swapping info and medic advice and stories of the operations they've done/helped in.

Arcee walked into the room and was happy to see everyone enjoying themselves, even though she was really sad inside, this brought her to her memory of the chat she had with June two weeks ago.

Flash back two weeks ago

"Hey Arcee, how you doing?" June asked as she climbed on Arcee in her garage and putting her helmet on before driving out into the street.

"I'm fine June, how you holding up" Arcee asked in a kind voice over the com-link in June's helmet as they left her street.

"To tell you the truth I'm really worried" June said in a soft voice, Arcee tilted her mirror to look at the woman "I'm worried about him, I know he can take care of himself but… it's the thought of what the Decepticons might have done to him that scares me the most"

Arcee felt June's grip tighten on her handle bars "hey, don't worry we'll find him and Jacks strong, he's very thought for his age and I won't rest until I find him and bring him home" Arcee stated in a strong, supporting voice, which brought a smile to Junes face as they drove into the desert.

"You love him don't you?" Junes question was more a fact than a question and it took Arcee by surprise a bit.

There was a short silence before she replied.

"Is it that oviers?" Arcee asked as they drove down the desert "to a mother? Yes" June stated and even though Arcee couldn't see it, she knew June was smiling.

"So, how long?" June asked as the wind flowed passed her down the road "that I've felt like this to Jack?" Arcee began "to tell you the truth, I don't really know. From the beginning I guess, when we first met" "Jack told me about that, but what exactly made you realise you loved him?" June asked looking for more info.

"His sweet nature to look after others before himself" Arcee stated with pride in her voice, but then she thought of something horrible "you're not made are you, that I'm in love with your son?" she asked fear in her voice.

June chuckled a bit at the fact she put a little fear into a giant, alien, robot "no, not really, all I want is for him to be happy and I believe he feels the same way about you" "really, you're okay with it? But wait, what makes you think he feels the same way?" Arcee asked as they grew closer to the base "call it, a mother's intertwisting" June stated with a smile "and I know you will always protect him, so you have my blessing, you're a very kind woman" "thank you June, that means a lot to me" Arcee replied as they neared the base.

End flash back

Arcee wanted to find Jack more than anyone, she looked high and low for him, but he was still missing Ratchet then brought her out of her thoughts.

"I'm picking up a faint Energon reading" Ratchet said looking at the monitors, he then turned to the others.

"I'll go" Arcee said as she walked up to the ground bridge "I'll go with you" Bulkhead said as he got up "no, that's alright Bulkhead, I'll go by myself" Arcee stated as the ground bridge came to life "are you sure?" Bulkhead asked as she walked passed him; she smiled and nodded before walking through the ground bridge.

In a forest at 7:30 at night

Arcee is walking through the forest, following the Energon signal Ratchet picked up, the sky was dark and some clouds were rolling in "looks like a storms coming" Arcee said out loud to herself, the forest reminded her of when she and Jack went on that scouting mission before they met Airachnid.

She laughed at the memory of Jack swatting the mosquitoes around him "he didn't like nature that much" she said with a heavy sigh "what am I doing, he's not gone, he's just missing, and I will find him"

She got closer to the signal and in front of her was a cave, she looked inside and saw some Energon crystals, the mouth of the cave was big enough for her and Bumblebee to go in, but too small for Bulkhead and the others, she was about to call it in, when all of a sudden something grabbed her from behind and through her a few feet away from the mouth of cave, outside.

She quickly got to her feet and looked to her attackers, seven Vehicons where standing in front of the entrance to the cave with blasters ready to fire, Arcee looked at them and smirked.

"You Cons are going down!" she said as she activated her wrist-blades, she then charged at the Vehicons and they fired at her, she dodged every blast and then jumped up and landed in the middle of the seven, she sliced at the one to her right, taking it's arm off and then changing her left hand into her blaster and shooting its head off and it fell to the ground, she then turned to the one behind her, kneeing it in the gut/grill and punching it in the face and finally slicing its spark-chamber open, as it fell forward she grabbed it and through it at another Vehicon and slicing its head off.

Before she could attack again a Vehicon hit her in the back making her stumble and another kneed her in the gut/grill and then she was kicked in the face sending her back and fall to the ground.

She was in a daze and when her senses returned to her she saw the remaining four standing in a circle around her and one had its blaster aimed at her face, she lay there looking down the bowel of the blaster, it looked like the end.

But then there was a loud crash of lightning from behind the Vehicons, normally they would have ignored it, but this sound was so loud that it was like a warning, so they turned round, and there standing above the mouth of the cave was a human figure, dressed in a black cloak that came to foot level and a hood that was covering its face, and in its right hand was a jagged, misshapen, black and purple scythe, he looked like the grim reaper.

"You have a choice" the figure started, Arcee felt like she knew the voice, but it was scrambled and she wasn't able to put her finger on it "you can leave and live, or stay and die" the figure stated, the Vehicons turned to fully face the figure, they then raised their blasters at the figure.

"Very well" the figure spoke again "then you better make peace with your selves, because your sparks are MINE!" the figure shouted jumping down to ground level.
