Sparkmate

Cybertron, approaching the final days ?don't know when the flashback should happen?

Running below the hail of blaster fire, Arcee moved with a purpose as a flyer above removed the snipers above with ease.

"Arcee to Delta team, requesting renderzvous coordinates, do you copy?" sliding behind cover as she looked up to the flyer above, she gave a smile as a snipers nest exploded with a pink dust cloud rising.

Watching the flyer go for another nest, the voice of Tailgate echoed form the Comms.

"Arcee, are you and Airstrike lost again, you're senses of direction could use some improvement" running away from a crumbling above her as another female voice spoke through the comms.

"You're aim could use some improvement, Tailgate. Seriously I spotted that sniper as he was aiming the first shot. We're Lucky Arcee and I know how to fight alongside each other" looking up to the flyer above her, the flyer transformed in mid air to throw a grenade before flying off, Arcee smirked as tailgate spoke.

"I take it you both managed ?" slowing to a walk as the flyer air drifted towards her before transforming with a flip.

Showing the femme walking towards her with a sway in her hips, the wings of her alt form moving in sync with her hips in a mesmerising fashion, the femmes colour was a Jet Black with a fiery orange adding spice to the accents.

The two walked side by side.

"What's you're position?"

"About half a Klick from the Depot, due north, think you can find it sparklers?" getting a small laugh from the two, Arcee spoke.

"Trust me Tailgate, our Navigatio-" she was cut off however from a surprise attack from the right, sending her trapped against the wall from a web, Airstripe turned in time to avoid the same trap, she fired a volley of Missiles that struck true against their attacker, the Seeker however failed to notice the shadow above too late.

Leaving her face to face with… a much older look Airachnid?.

Sparing a glance to Arcee, Airachnid gave a smirk before blinding Arcee.

Awakening from the shut down, Arcee groaned as she was suspended from the ground with her arms held apart with magnetic clamps, Airstripe following sooner with a sudden cry of pain at her wings being removed, the wounds barely leaking energon as they were set on the wall like trophies.

"Sorry, couldn't help myself, always wanted a pair of wings of my own, call it jealousy if you want" feeling the pain dull as her optics stared at her wings, Airstripe crane dher helm to see Arcee struggling.

"Piece of advice, little Sparklings. Make yourselves comfortable. You're both gonna be here for a while" looking away as she began coughing violently, the older Airachnid looked to her hand as it held splotches of energon, she scowled.

"Damn you, Megatron" moving to Airstripe to look over her being, Airrachnid spoke with a smirk as she ran a claw along Airstripe's cheek until he digit was bit by the flyer, making her flinch at the glare she gained, Airachnid instead of being angered, smiled in delight.

"You're perfect" getting a confused look from the Femme, Airachnid spoke.

"You're even the same Body design as I am, making us almost sisters"

"She's nothing like you, Decepticon" giving Arcee a look, the older femme spoke while circling Airstripe, ignoring Arcee.

"Even has my same helm model, which will make this even easier"

"What?" seeing the fear in Airstripes Optics, Airachnid spoke with an evil smile.

"Oh simply overwriting you're psych with my own" seeing the despair among the duo, Arcee began struggling even more with Airachnid laughing evilly as she began circling Airstripe before stabbing one of her spider legs into Airstripes abdomen.

Making her cough slightly, Arcee, in a show of determined Rage, sent a Kick that managed to nail Airachnid in the head, making her tumble in shock, she slowly turned to Arcee with fury in her optics.

"You little!" moving to impale Arcee who closed her optics, Airstripe screamed in despair.

"DON'T HURT HER!" slowly turning back to Airstripe, she spoke pleadingly.

"Please, do what you want to me just please don't hurt her" getting a confused look from Airachnid, she looked between the two before she exploded into a cruel laughter.

"By the Allspark, you're sparkmates" giving a dark chuckle, she continued.

"This is even more fun" reaching for Arcee's Helm alongside Airstripe's. the two growled in agony as Airachnid's optics glowed eerily.

"So, Much, Fun"

Earth

Giving a groan as she finally snapped out of the memory, Arcee gave a Sob as one by one her memory banks opened fully, she rushed towards the sounds of combat, jumping over a fallen tree, Arcee spotted Ares trying to free himself from the webbing, Arcee turned to see Christine silently chasing a growling Airachnid, her helm broken enough to show signs of Airstripes old side within, Arcee turned to Ares who looked up.

"We have to help them, We can have ratchet look over Airachnid" wincing as his sides leaked Energon, the Omnitrix chose this time to time out.

Leaving the two cursing before turning to the sound of a pain filled scream.

The sight of Christine holding two of the spider legs, left Arcee paling at the sight before rushing forward, Jack following slowly with a groan while holding his left side.

"CHRISTINE!"

Tossing the femme through a tree after tearing another legs off, Airachnid went to back hand the Femme , Airachnid gave a howl of agony as her left arm was snapped at the elbow, the limb hung from the shoulder uselessly as Christine approached without a word, her face void of emotion while Airachnid's showed fear.

Giving a cry as her right knee was shot, she fell to her back while weakly crawling away from the Red Femme, the sight of her blaster aimed at her head left Airachnid staring in fear.

Staring at oblivions approach, Airachnid/Airstripe spoke weakly.

"Love you, Arcee" closing her eyes to accept her fate, a cry echoed loud enough with Airachnid blinking her Optics as Arcee tackled Christine to the floor, the blue, smaller femme struggling against the much bigger femme, she was thrown off with Christine standing up like a puppet, she went to aim once again before freezing at the sight of Jack between a stunned Airachnid/Airstipe and a glitching Christine.

"Move, Sparkmate"

"Christine, she needs help, her minds not hers"

"SHE HURT YOU!" flinching at Christine's outburst, Jack stood his ground as Arcee crouched in frozen fear of her movement triggering Christine.

The human spoke while slowly approaching Christine, ignoring the coat of Energon over her being from the thrashing she gave Airachnid.

"Christine, the original Airachnid died years ago, Her minds been fragmented, trying to piece itself back together, she was an Autobot before, she can still be one now, just please, put the blaster down" staring up at Christine's feet to see her eyes flickering from white to blue, Jack stood firmly as Christine blinked rapidly as her Optics began glitchign violently between blue and White, she gave a yell of rage as she went to finish off Airachnid, the flash of green was the only warning as Ares gave a grunt as he took the shot.

Leaving Airachnid stunned at the action, and Fear from Christine who snapped back to her senses as Horror took over.

Grabbing his chest, the shot missing many vital systems and parts thankfully, he gave a small grunt as Arcee moved to his side, Christine dropped her blaster with shaky hands, she stood frozen.

"Christine *Grunt* it's ok, the Watch will heal me when I turn back" wincing as Airachnid's red eyes flashed blue permanently, she pressed a button before falling down in pain.

"Arcee, do you Read?" looking up at hearing Ratchet's voice, Jack stared at Christine who shook violently at the sight of him hurt by her hands, her eyes had tears falling as Jack frowned in worry.

"Christine?" moving to console the femme who captured his heart/Spark, he was left stunned as she spoke quietly, defeated even.

"I'm so sorry" rushing off without warning, Jack panicked at her fleeing form.

"Christine, CHRISTINE, WAIT!" moving around Arcee who perked up at her fleeing in shock, she went to follow if not for Airachnid to hiss in pain.

Looking between Jack and Airachnid, Arcee cursed herself as she moved to Airachnid's side.

"Arcee…" feeling a hand caress her faceplate, Arcee looked up with a sniffle.

"You're finally crying for me?" giving a half hearted glare at her old Sparkmate, she turned to look for Jack and Christine.

Slowing to a walk as he lost track of Christine, Ares/Jack made it to a road with no sight of Christine, Jack began panicking at her absence.

"Christine….!" Seeing no sign of the girl he loved, Ares gave a Yell that echoed.

"CHRISTINE!"

"Ratchet, we need immediate Evac to Base, also try and lock onto Christine's Signal, something happened with her and Jack"

Waiting for the GroundBridge to open as she hefted Airachnid/Airstripe over her shoulders, the two were joined by a frantic Ares who grabbed the two and rushed through.

Failing to notice a Larger than normal Panther stalk onto the clearing with it's eyes crying before bounding away in silence.
