An aching pain was all that registered in her mind, her pain, her families pain. It racked her body and made her dead vocal processors leap into life. She didn't understand, her mind still hadn't caught up and it certainly wasn't able to comprehend the situation.

She felt so lost without them, but she always knew they were near her. So why were they in so much pain? Why couldn't she save them from this hell? She just didn't know, and as her processor dimmed once more, she wondered what had brought about this hell.

Ratchet monitored Arcee without rest, she was in stasis but she wasn't in any pain. She was almost in recharge she was so blissfully unaware of everything. Unaware of the pain that was going to destroy her when she woke.

Ratchet unconsciously clenched his fists and his eyes closed for just a moment, to allow the image of Jack to resurface and then float back into his memory banks. He would ensure that Jack's image was never forgotten, no matter what.

Arcee's vitals were good, she was recovering well, really well.

Perhaps it was her stubbornness or her will to protect Jack, but she was healing at an extraordinary rate.

Riptide, however, had been acquiring dents left right and centre. He suspected it was something to do with Bumblebee's knew 'training' regime.

Although, Riptides dents didn't explain why he was becoming increasingly exhausted, he took in the same amount of energon as everyone else, but he used it a worrying pace.

"Ratchet, how are Arcee's vitals?" Optimus asked walking over, subconsciously stretching his legs as he did so and Ratchet showed him the screen.

"She's healing at what I'd call an accelerated rate, it's not natural but I for one am not complaining" The elderly medic replied and Optimus frowned at the stats, but he said nothing.

"I'm more worried about Riptide"

Optimus frowned and stole a glance at the younger mech, and had to admit that Ratchets worries were justified. He had been more exhausted lately, even with Bumblebee toning down his training he just seemed to ingest energon constantly which was neither good for him or the supplies.

"Myself, Bulkhead and Riptide will go and find some energon, and perhaps gain some more of Riptides trust" Optimus decided, knowing that Ratchet had several energon spots located, but due to…recent events, they had not been able to go and harvest it.

"If this problem has only just arisen Optimus, I doubt any amount of trust will reveal it to us" Ratchet told him gently, before turning back to the screen to watch Arcee's stats diligently.

Optimus found that he couldn't disagree.

Rosestorm held back an effeminate scream and ducked under the first thick black tentacle that came shooting towards her, before lunging forwards between a gap between two of the thick black limbs. If she was going to do anything along the lines of what Soundwave had done to Arachnid then she would need to get behind the behemoth…which was damn near impossible.

God, I just wish he wasn't here…dammit leave me alone!

There was a fizzing sound, and then a sort of…popping noise, and when Rosestorm stopped still, she realised that Soundwave was…gone.

Arachnid fell the floor with a heavy thud, but she simply pulled herself back up and brushed herself down.

"Excellent Rosestorm, you are starting to get the hang of this" Arachnid praised and they heard footsteps as Soundwave came walking back in through the door.

"But obviously distance is something that needs work" Arachnid muttered in a slight huff and Soundwave looked Rosestorm up and down.

"Excellent"

Rosestorm wasn't sure what creeped her out more, the fact that Soundwave was praising her…

…or that he was doing it in Megatrons voice.

Silas watched the screen and waited, the signal was becoming erratic. There was obviously something wrong with the tracer, there was no way that Rosestorm could move that fast, it just wasn't possible. So there must be a problem with the tracer, it was the only logical reasoning.

However, at this present moment in time Silas was more interested in the directions that his two precious experiments were travelling.

Straight for each other.

Have an update.
