Previously on Transformers,
After encounter with Shockwave, June's condition was critical. After the operation performed by Ratchet, June became an Autobot, who was as tall as Optimus, white green colored. Arcee and Jack get kidnapped by Shockvave. June battles the Decepticon but is left defeated on the battlefield while the Decepticon flees. June gets a new ally- Blackarachnia.
In Nemesis ship, Megatron was feeling well despite the Autobots apparent victory in getting to the AllSpark first. The metal titan walked towards the medbay, where the two prisoners were currently being held. He smiled as he entered the room. "Arcee, its been a long time since I have fought you. And you Jack. I never forget a face of a human who had a chance to kill me."
"What do you want you monster?" questioned Arcee. "I will not tell you anything. Go ahead, kill me but I will not talk!" she creamed at the titan's face.
"Is that so little Autobot? I am pretty sure that by the end of this interrogation I will break you." His fist collided with Arcee's stomach and she screamed in pain.
"This is only the beginning for what I have prepared for you two. Knockout, bring out the device" he ordered his medical officer, who shortly returned with a stick, which was all too familiar to Arcee. The female Autobot tried to escape from her restraints but could not.
"As I recall, while I was fighting your leader and his medic, Starscream was in charge of this ship. When he captured that Agent Fowler, he discovered that Energon does not mix well with humans. I would like to confirm that theory" He took the stick from the Decepticon's hand and turned it on. Blue and purple electric charges escaped one end of the stick.
"No, don't harm him. I am your enemy, an Autobot. He is just a human." She tried to defend her junior Partner.
"I am fully aware that he is a human but he is nowhere just a human. After all, Optimus Prime gave him the key to Vector Sigma, which is only given to Autobots with Prime potential" he smiled and Arcee's face first got frightened and then became full of anger.
"Go ahead, kill me, I wont talk either. Autobots are my allies and they saved my life on many occasions, especially Arcee. I am willing to die to help their cause" Jack tried to straighten his back as he spoke confidently
"We will see". Megatron hit Jack with the Energon stick and the boy screamed in pain. The pain was unbearable; Jack thought that his intestines were burning. Fortunately, the pain only lasted a few seconds.
"I will keep hitting him until you tell me information regarding the AllSpark Arcee." Megatron said as he leaned closer to Arcee and with his sharp nail scratched her face." I know what Airachnid did to Tailgate and after the loss of Cliffjumper I doubt that you would be willing to loose your third Partner." He laughed as Arcee looked at the floor. Her worst horrors were coming back and the femme bot had trouble in keeping her emotions in check.
"Maybe I underestimated you Arcee. Perhaps a more brutal approach is in order" he spoke as he sliced slightly Jack's chin, so that some blood dropped on the floor.
"While Energon would surely hurt you, it might not be just as effective as I planned. However, I know what will." The leader of the Decepticons took a Dark Energon crystal and brought it closer to Arcee.
"Dark Energon devastated the health of that young bug, who always hangs out with your scout. Imagine what it would do to Jack," he laughed as he pushed the crystal directly into Jack's heart as Arcee screamed in pain and frustration. She could not imagine that even Megatron could be crueler than her nemesis and yet Megatron just doomed her Partner's life.
"Since you are so unwilling to talk, I will let you see how Jack will slowly die as the Dark Energon will slowly destroy his body and only then after he is dead and I break your spirit, only then you can die," Megatron laughed as he left the room.
"Knockout, keep an eye one these two" he ordered before heading toward the bridge.
Meanwhile, somewhere far June looked at her new ally and did not know what to do. The other bot was as tall as her, with purple skin instead of grey which most Autobots and Decepticons had and black parts in the upper body. "How are we going to track the Decepticons?" she asked
"We have small communication devices that allows Chromia, Arcee and me to communicate between each other over long distances. I could track Nemesis and we could get there using my ship but I need to train you in the fighting basics before that.
"Is that really necessary? My son's life is at stake!" exclaimed June she looked seriously with anger at her newfound ally.
"You don't believe me, then go ahead, hit me" challenged Blackarachnia the new Autobot. June looked at her and took a fighting stance. She then jumped at her opponent but was easily defeated by the other female Autobot.
""You see, you lack fighting skills necessary to rescue the two. Besides, I just defeated you with ease, Megatron would have an even easier battle" she taunted June.
At first June was angry and did not know what to do. The two exchanged blows, but June was still pretty new to the giant robot fighting club, which was seen in how easily her opponent was defeating her.
"You are a fast learner but still your skills are not enough to defeat Megatron and his troops. "Spoke Blackarachnia. June took a break and sat on the rock, trying to meditate. She closed her optics and tried to come with her current physical state and how she should handle the fight. While meditating, her body scanned itself and found a somewhat foreign object that should not normally lie inside the chest of an Autobot.
"Blackarachnia, I have some sort of matrix inside of me," she complained to her ally as she opened her chest, revealing its insides. Among other things, next to her spark a small matrix lay.
"By the AllSpark, you have the Matrix of leadership within you. Wait, hold on. This is not the Matrix of Leadership but the Matrix containing wisdom and knowledge of one of the original Primes!" she exclaimed in excitement
"Go on, try to communicate with the Prime who left those memories, wisdom and alike" she spoke.
June closed her upper body and meditated, trying to concentrate on her newfound body part. As she then opened her eyes, she saw the face of a tall Transformer, who was of a similar height as her.
"Greetings human, my name is Solus Prime. Like other Original Primes I transferred my wisdom and alike to the Matrix of Leadership. However, I also created a similar Matrix, which you currently have. I hid it in the AllSpark, which was also a creation of mine, and waited to see someone worthy to become my descendant, a Prime. Rise Junimus Prime" she spoke and then her image disappeared.
"What happened to you?" asked puzzled Blackarachnia as she looked at her fellow Autobot. June now stood firmer, with newfound strength. She then decided to check how well June was now fighting and was quickly thrown on the ground by the new Autobot.
"How did you do that? Just a minute ago you were a weak, naïve and inexperienced Autobot. What happened?" asked puzzled Blackarachnia
"A former Prime Solus Prime spoke to me. She said that she transferred her knowledge and wisdom to me and that I am now Junimus Prime. Let's hurry, our allies are waiting"
The two found Blackarachnia ship, which was parked close by. June saw a picture of Optimus and a tall purple femme standing together smiling. "Who is she and why do you have this picture?" June asked
"It does not matter" Blackarachnia shouted harshly and then calmed down. June decided to wait quietly in her seat while the ship flew but the white and green Autobot saw a small tear escaping her ally's eye, slowly running down her cheek.
The ship flew quickly towards the apparent location of the Decepticon Warship and after a quick flight the two saw a huge ship that was floating in the sky. "We have company. Seat tight, Prime" spoke Blackarachnia.
"There is no time for this, I will see you on the warship" spoke June as she opened the door and jumped out of the ship
"Is she crazy?" thought the femme but saw that Decepticon seekers started shooting at them and shifted her focus in terminating as many of the seekers as would be possible.
June started falling but then quickly transformed into a large jet and started shooting. She quickly disabled two seekers, which enabled her to quickly land on the Decepticon Warship, after which she activated transformed into her robot form and activated her canons.
Eradicons, who pointed guns at her, quickly surrounded June. She was significantly larger than all of them but their sheer numbers were a definite strength. "Leave and allow me to rescue my allies or be destroyed" she shouted but the Decepticons did not react. June then activated her canons and destroyed a large portion of the Eradicons, with some of their parts now falling to the surface of the planet. She then shot Nemesis's roof and got inside the ship. As she descended into the catacombs of the warship, Shockwave immediately hit the Autobot. "I see we meet again young Autobot." He tried to fight her, but June now had Solus' wisdom and used it in quickly defeating her enemy. She then kicked him to the side and rushed to find her son.
"Hey, get out of here!" Screamed Knockout as he saw June entering the med bay. However, the Decepticon was not dumb and knew when to retreat. He jumped and quickly escaped the room, trying to get Megatron to help him.
"Jack, Arcee!" screamed June as she saw the two prisoners, who were chained to the wall. The two prisoners eyes almost popped out of their sockets when they saw who was rescuing them.
"Who are you? I have never seen you" spoke Arcee, even though the bot was glad that the two would soon be rescued.
"My name is Junimus Prime, the heir to Solus Prime and I came to rescue you two" he spoke. June quickly shot the handcuffs and the two prisoners dropped on the floor.
"Help me carry him. We need to bring Jack to the Autobot base as he was exposed to a large quantity of solid Dark Energon." Spoke Arcee weakly after all the beatings she received. June now noticed that her son's shirt was full of blood and that his physical state was even worse that Raf's after Megatron's attack.
"Well, look who arrived. June Darby, welcome to the Decepticon warship" Megatron smiled as he approached June Darby with his First Lieutenant Dreadwing walking at his side.
"June?" questioned Arcee with disbelief
"Mom?" was all Jack could say before dropping on the ground. Arcee lifted her Partner from the ground and held him in his hands.
Megatron and Dreadwing attacked June but she was in such rage that she started fighting ferociously with the two giants, where it was clear that even Megatron had not anticipated such a brutal attack. June noticed that Arcee escaped the room with Jack in her hands but the distraction cost her greatly. Megatron's fist collided with her stomach, then his knee hit her there as well, after which June dropped on the ground.
"You fight well, young Autobot. I will be quite intrigued in seeing you being disassembled to see what makes you tick" he smiled before he was interrupted again.
"Lord Megatron, another ship is currently attacking us" spoke a Vehicon. June used her chance, hit Megatron and transformed into a jet, flying away from the med bay.
June found Arcee and Jack who were now standing on the roof, dodging the Eradicons, although their number was significantly reduced as they were also were engaged in fighting two other ships, one of which was clearly another Decepticon.
"Lets go Arcee, Jack, I will get you out of here" she spoke as she lifted the two. The Eradicons did the smart thing and got lost, as they were now afraid of the new Autobot.
"How are we going to escape?" asked Arcee. June transformed into a jet, flying next to the two, so that Arcee could climb on her.
"Are you coming Blackarachnia?" asked June but it was clear that her new ally would not follow them. Her ship suddenly stopped firing as she flew away from the scene. The other jet, who definitely was a Decepticon now saw that all the fire was focused on her, so she quickly flew away in a manner, that was all to familiar to Arcee.
Arcee climbed on top of the jet, holding Jack in her hands. "Ratchet we need a ground bridge. Put it in the air" she spoke as the group saw Megatron emerging on top of the Warship. June sped up and flew, straight into the green portal that opened before her, with them narrowly escaping Megatron's pursuit. When the group arrived, June transformed into her robot form and walked alongside Arcee, who carried Jack.
"What happened to you all?" asked Ratchet as he saw bleeding Arcee and Jack, who displayed the same symptoms that Raf had shown after Bumblebee's encounter with Megatron.
"Megatron shoved a large piece of Dark Energon inside him. My partner will die. His heart will soon stop," she screamed.
"I need a Spark Transplant," screamed June, "I will not let my son die tonight"
"Nurse Darby, are you sure you can handle the operation? Even I have not heard of a sucsessful Spark Transplant in Eons" spoke Ratchet but after seeing June's angry face stopped talking.
"I volunteer" spoke Arcee as she walked closer to June. The new Prime soon began the operation by using her hands and newfound knowledge to operate on the two patients. After she put Arcee in stasis, she took out her spark and carefully split it, where she then effectively put one half back into Arcee's body and the second into her son's heart. She first took the Dark Energon crystal elements from Jack's heart and then infused it with Arcee's second part of the Spark. As the operation ended Jack's health were fully recovered.
"We now share a Spark, Partner" spoke Arcee to her tired and exhausted Partner.
Meanwhile, somewhere far away, Starscream was climbing a mountain, trying to reach another Energon deposit but due to his recent inability to transform found it difficult to climb. Due to exhaustion and hunger his hand slipped and the seeker fell on the ground. "Curse you Megatron," he screamed.
A jet of a similar design landed next to him and the Decepticon transformed. "Don't worry Screamy, your sister came to help you" smiled new seeker, whom Starscream instantly recognized.
"Slipstream"
Next: June's status and its implications on Jack's life plus an Autobot becomes humanized. The two seeker siblings start creating their own force to fight Megatron.
