AC: Here's the fifth chapter of the story and you will discover the name of the Insecticon.

Chapter 5: Insecticon designation

Arcee ported at the other side with the sad Insecticon and Ultra Magnus greeted them. Knock Out passed by their side.

"Ratchet asked me for help. 124 injured vehicons and 0 offline. I don't know how it is possible. Anyway, thanks to you, I can't buff myself," Knock Out said before he disappeared in the bridge.

The Insecticon whined and his arms were almost touching the ground as he walked. His optic shined lightly while his head looked at his feet.

"Wha-la-la-la," the Insecticon whined sadly. "I failed my queen."

Arcee didn't want to reply about it. The Insecticon was already bad enough as it is. "As you can see, he didn't take his failure well."

"Maybe he wasn't made to build things. I should have known it would be bad with the vehicons. They hate the Insecticons. I think the Insecticon really wasn't lucky. Tomorrow, we will find something with Smokescreen on the Nemesis," Ultra Magnus said.

"How could I fail my assignment? I'm the best Insecticon. He always told me I'm the best," the Insecticon said sadly. He sat on the ground and didn't move.

"Who are you talking about?" Ultra Magnus asked.

"The Hive Master. When we have no queen, the Hive Master is the one who takes command. He always said that I was the best. That I can do anything," the Insecticon explained. "Q- Arcee. Can I take some energon?"

"Yes," Arcee nodded.

The Insecticon walked away slowly.

"He's really feeling down," Ultra Magnus commented.

"True. Even if he annoyed me like the pit, I cannot really stand seeing him like this. This Insecticon really caused an accident and nothing more. I almost couldn't believe it was possible, but I saw it with my optics," Arcee replied. "Now that I think about it, he could transform and fly when he was falling."

"He must forgot about it. Arcee, I think we should find something to cheer him up," Ultra Magnus said.

"I will not let him recharge in my room sir," Arcee replied.

"I was thinking about something to distract him from the accident he caused. He will forget about it eventually," Ultra Magnus said.

"I thought about finding a designation for him. I don't want to always call him Insecticon," Arcee commented.

"I agree. If we said Insecticon, he will consider it his designation and maybe there will be more Insecticons that will help with the reconstruction of Cybertron, just like the vehicons. The war is over and Cybertron remained their home planet too," Ultra Magnus thought loudly.

"Some Cybertronian will say that we have a bug infestation on your planet," Arcee commented.

"True. But they can become citizen of Cybertron if they want. About him, you said you want to find him a proper designation. How are you going to present it to him?" Ultra Magnus asked.

"I know Optimus and you won't want me to give his designation, so I'll give him some suggestion and checked that he doesn't pick the first one. I have a feeling it would be the case," Arcee commented.

"I think it is the best option for n-" Ultra Magnus was interrupted when the door opened and the Insecticon came back.

He had trouble keeping his balance. He walked left and right and felt on the ground.

"Look. I fall...Felt or whatever. Hahahaha! Wha-ha-ha-la-la!" the Insecticon shouted.

Arcee and Ultra Magnus opened their mouthplate and said nothing.

"My queen. Queen. Hahahaha. Queeeeeen. So many eeee," The Insecticon chuckled. He stood up and felt on the ground again. "Queeeen Arceeeee. You'reeee the beeeeest. Ha! Ha! Eeeeee."

"Insecticon. You are overenergize," Ultra Magnus said.

"Did you confuse regular energon with highgrade?" Arcee asked.

"What's highgradeeeee?!" the Insecticon said before chuckling.

"Does that mean that I have to be with you when you take Energon?" Arcee asked. She forced to keep her frustration inside her spark. She remembered that the last time he did on his own, he drank rotten energon.

"He's not a really autonomous Insecticon. I guess that they always have their mind connected. Since he doesn't have anymore, he might be lost and doesn't have anyone to help him like before. We don't know how their mind really worked. This Insecticon is the closest one to a normal Cybertronian." Ultra Magnus explained.

"He looks like a really big sparkling sir," Arcee replied.

The Insecticon walked slowly at the direction of the two autobot. He zigzagged. "Queeeen. My beeeeeautiful queeeeen," he felt on the ground. "Hahahaha! I feeeelt again."

"Stop emphasis with the e Insecticon," Arcee ordered.

"Queeeen," the Insecticon replied standing up. He stood in front of Arcee and she felt like she was her partner Jack right now. The Insecticon grabbed Arcee and held her against his chestplate. He gave a big hug. Arcee tried to release herself from his arms, but "Queeeeeen Arceeeeee. Y-y-you areeee theeee beeest thing sinceeeee theeeee hiveeeee quit Cybeeerton. Wha-la-la!" he felt on his back and still held Arcee. "Queeeen. I loveeee you."

"Let me go Insecticon!" Arcee ordered when he started to hug her too hard. Ultra Magnus came to free her. "I order you to let me go!"

The Insecticon opened his arms and he let her go. He then started sobbing and coolant felt from his optic. "But I loveeee you," he said in a childish way.

"You are overenergize. You don't think strait," Arcee replied.

Ultra Magnus looked at the Insecticon: "Did you take highgrade on purpose?"

"What's highgradeeeee?" the Insecticon asked again before he continued sobbing.

"He really doesn't know sir. I'll take him to his room. Come with me," Arcee told the Insecticon.

The Insecticon walked at the direction of the opened door and missed it. He hit the side of the door a few times before he passed through. He walked by the side of Arcee, but he lost his balance and felt on the ground again.

"Queeeen. You'reeeee the beeeest queeeeen. Not beeeecauseeee you'reeee theeeee my first queeeen," the Insecticon told her.

Arcee rolled her optic. She found the Insecticon more annoying than his normal self. They reached the room and the Insecticon entered.

"You should rest for now," Arcee told him.

The Insecticon looked at her: "Queeeen. Do you likeeeee meeeee?"

Arcee didn't reply by his question. She looked at the Insecticon who gave the best puppy eye an Insecticon could. He seemed like he wanted to know if she liked him and afraid of the answer. His faceplate showed nothing because he was overenergize, so only his voice told her. Even if she wanted to say no, she couldn't. In her processor, she didn't dislike him.

"Yes," Arcee replied.

"Thank you!" the Insecticon shouted and hugged Arcee again. He let her free after a few seconds and he climbed on his berth. "I'm happy," the Insecticon felt in recharge with a smile on his processor.

Arcee let him recharge and cleaned his body from his highgrade and be back with a processor ache.

She decided to search for a few designations the Insecticon could choose. She wondered how much it would cheer him up. She walked in her room and thought about it. She thought for a long time. The door of her room and the Insecticon came in.

"Oh! My processor," the Insecticon said. He looked at Arcee. "Sorry my q- Arcee," the Insecticon said painfully. He put his servo on his helm.

"Good. I was waiting for you to be back to normal," Arcee said. As normal you can be.

"You were...waiting for me? Even after I failed you?" the Insecticon asked unsure.

"Yes," Arcee replied. He forgot what he said when he was high. That's good news.

The Insecticon smiled a little. He stood up with all his high, but he seemed too thought of something and he dropped himself again.

"I thought I was the best," he repeated again.

Arcee had thought about it and she knew what to say to make him feel better. She couldn't watch him sad like that: "Your Hive Master told you this because you accomplish your duty as Insecticon. This is something completely different Insecticon don't do."

The Insecticon raised his head and seriously thought about it. He smiled when he realised it.

"I'm still the best!" he shouted joyfully. "At, Insecticon stuff of curse."

Arcee was glad he felt better, but could help but rolled her optic when he wasn't looking: "Yes."

"I'm so glad my queen!" the Insecticon shouted and shook his arf in celebration. Arcee closed her optics; she didn't want to see that.

"Insecticon. I was also waiting for you about something else," Arcee told him.

"About what?" the Insecticon asked curiously.

"I thought about it and I think you should have your own designation," Arcee told him.

"Why? I don't really need one. I'm me," the Insecticon replied.

"I know. But if they are other Insecticons, I don't want to confuse you with another one,"

The Insecticon appeared unsure. He scratched his arf and smiled: "Okay. If you want me to have a designation, then I'll have a designation. What is my designation?" the Insecticon asked.

"I don't want to choose it for you. If I gave you one, it would go against what I fought for during the war,"

"O...kay. I don't know what designation I could have,"

"I searched one based on the information's about you. I remember I saw something looking similar to you when you transform on Earth. They called it Hercules Beetle and-"

"Hercules! I want my designation to be Hercules!" the Insecticon shouted.

Arcee looked at him: "Wait. I didn't even give any suggestion and-"

"My designation is Hercules. I feel like it's a powerful designation," the Insecticon shouted.

I search around 150 designations for nothing. I just said Hercules and he wants it. Why am I not that much surprised? She told herself.

"With such designation. I will not fail you Q- Arcee! I will succeed into my duty tomorrow and I won't shame you!" Hercules shouted raising his servo. "With the power of my designation, I can't fail!"

Arcee reprised a doubtful glare and changed the subject: "I will take an energon cube,"

"Me too. I need one," Hercules told her.

"I will also show you how not to make a mistake like earlier."

"Mistake?"

"You took highgrade instead of regular energon."

"Oh! Yeah. I have low tolerance on highgrade," Hercules replied crossing his servos.

He then grabbed Arcee and hugged her. He said joyfully: "You are the best!"

Arcee patted his helm and he let her go. They walked at the depot.
