After Cybetron, talk of a dangerous decepticon began. It wasn't a normal decepticon. The decepticon was picking victims. His last brutal murder was on the Elite-One autobot.
So far, no one had managed to escape, except for one autobot who was killed a few hours later in the autobot base .
The Decepticon was described as a femme , who had blue paint with small wings on her back, with pink highlights , with blue optics, about 6 feet tall and had a protective lower face. And the last sentence she said to each victim was "you take my name to All Spark "she paused "I am the silent killer " she whispered and killed the victim.
But that was before they left Cybetron. The Autobots feared this woman and a great many Autobots tried to hunt her down and trap her, but she always ended up setting their own trap. No one could fool her, even when multiple commanders banded together.
And the decepticons didn't know who she was either , Megatron tried to summon her before him and place her among his highest ranking officers such as Soundwave , but even the decepticon soldiers couldn't catch her , she had her own tactics . Megatron didn't like that the decepticon wore their insignia , but he also liked that she was elusive .
When there was an exodus and everyone left Cybetron everyone thought she had fallen with Cybetron. However they shouldn't have thought that considering she came back with permanent targets.
Who?
That she has already found out, a decepticon , who will only take orders from her only master Lord Megatron.
Who are her parents ?
She knows , she found it out in her time alone and when she was killing the Elite , she recognized her and said her mother . Who is her father she already knows , just a pity his beloved Elita never told him , or should she say Ariel never told Orion Pax they had a sparkling and left him in an alley in Kaon .
Why did they leave her?
My father didn't know since Elita left for four months for work and happened to be in Kaon where she gave birth and left the sparkling. The mother was worried that she couldn't take care of the sparkling and didn't know if Orion wanted the sparkling. She didn't put her up for adoption because she'd have it on her record and her beloved Optimus Prime would ask.
And her goals were clear. To join Megatron's service, to meet her adoptive father. To confront Optimus Prime and show what it was she had been hiding from him all these millennia, and to destroy him by describing the death of his sparkling mate.
Where is Arcee now?
In the escape pod , which she found on Cybetron and deciphered a decepticon message from Megatron calling everyone to planet Earth and destroy the last autobot team.
She didn't know how long the trip took , as she got stasis locked during the trip. When she landed she saw that she was in an organic forest environment . She made her way through the forest until she reached the highway. She saw a car there. A Lotus Emira her size so she scanned the alt-mod and let the decepticons know she had arrived . A few minutes later the underground bridge opened up. With a smirk under her mask she walked over.
The Decepticon ship Nemesis
"Lord Megatron there is a signal coming in from an unknown decepticon," one of the vehicons said, and Soundwave confirmed it was a decepticon a few seconds later.
"Open the underground bridge " Said Megatron . Soundwave opened the bridge to the coordinates and everyone looked at the bridge . A few seconds later a blue femme with pink highlights came out . She walked straight to Megatron and knelt down on one knee in front of him .
"I am here to serve you my one and true leader , Lord Megatron" she said and you could hear the pride in her voice . Megatron held out his hand to her and she took it.
"Tell me femme , who are you ?" Megatron asked and watched as she looked into his optics .
"The one who wears your emblem , but has never stepped in front of you " she said in a riddle and Soundwave figured it out very quickly and there was something familiar and familiar about her .
Megatron started laughing even he had figured out who she was . "Just the kind of reinforcements we needed for our council , Knockout take our femme to the bay and check her out and get the vehicons ready for quarters " Megatron said in his leader voice .
Knockout nodded and motioned for Arcee to follow him . Arcee was as tall as Knockout .
"So welcome to the winning team " Knockout said to somehow start a conversation but she just nodded ." along the way we can meet the crew " Arcee again just nodded . "won't you talk?" He asked since he didn't like the silence .
"No need to talk " Arcee and continued to follow Knockout .
"Have you got your alt-mod yet?" He asked and she just nodded . Knockout sighed in frustration this was going to be worse than he expected .
They were walking slowly when they came across Airachnid . " This is Airachnid the second in command of Megatron " he said and introduced . Knockout went to say her name , but she didn't introduce herself to anyone she just said a riddle .
"I am Arcee the new crew member" she said . They both shook hands and continued on their way .
Knockout and Arcee arrived at the medical bay where Breakdown was already. "Breakdown we have a new crew Arcee " He said and pointed to the femme who just stood the whole time and didn't say anything and didn't even see her full face . She looked like Optimus Prime with that mask of hers .
For Arcee after long minutes of scrutiny they let go with the fact that she was in good physical shape . As if she didn't know that herself .
Arcee walked through the ship looking for the computer room where Soundwave was working. Since he knew how to hack without the owner noticing, she found blueprints of the ship and the workroom. She smiled when she knew where it was and went there.
She quietly walked into the room and sat down in a dark corner so he wouldn't notice her. After an hour she noticed a small Laserbeak bird shoot out of Soundwave's chest. She had never seen him , but she had heard of him as Soundwave's little spy.
Laserbeak sat down on a nearby ledge and watched his surroundings , when he spotted Arcee and immediately flew over to Soundwave to let him know.
Soundwave turned around but when he looked into the darkness he didn't understand what Laserbeak was telling him , when he wasn't there . He remembered his daughter who died in that town , he never forgave himself , he should have kept her with him . Soundwave went to turn around and continue his work when he saw a blue light from a dark corner .
He walked over and saw Arcee there . A question mark lit up on his visor asking what he was doing here .
"I don't remind you of anyone ? " she asked as she looked up and stared into the black visor . Soundwave came dangerously close to her face, but Arcee didn't flinch a macro millimeter.
Arcee put her hand to the bottom of her face and the protection remained in her hand . "I don't remind you of anyone even now?" She asked a second time .
Soundwave almost backed up in fright . It was true that he had never found her body , but he didn't know that she had become the most feared cybertronian , after Megatron , Shockwave and himself . He took off his visor and looked at her .
"Is that seriously you?" He asked his voice , his blue optics going from her scope to her entire frame . She had changed he said to himself.
"Yes I am" she said and remained sitting on the ground.
"How long have you been here?" He asked , as he sat down next to her and they both stared at the monitors Soundwave had been working on a few minutes ago.
"About a cycle maybe more " she said and shrugged her shoulders . There was silence for a moment , as Soundwave organized his thoughts and asked .
"Why did you come now ? Decepticons , Lord Megatron has been looking for you for a very long time " Soundwave looked at the femme , next to him whom he used to take and now takes again as his daughter .
"I needed to find out who I was and why I was left in an alley , one of the searchers , when they came to town had tagged me as an Iaconian and so thoughts of who I was came to me" she said almost emotionlessly.
"And did you find out?" He asked as he put his arm around her shoulder as if holding her in a protective embrace. Arcee just nodded , as she leaned against his chest and felt like that little fizzing thing again , that had committed no deed .
Suddenly the door to the room opened and Soundwave stood up and put on his visor . Arcee put on her lower face protection and remained seated until she walked more into the tmi . Lord Megatron himself entered the room.
"Soundwave, can you find out the woman's name and where she is right now?" Megatron asked and Arcee thought it was a good time to come out of her dark hiding place.
"Arcee my Lord" Arcee said stepping out of the darkness. Megatron looked like a scared rabbit for a moment before he started laughing again.
"So Arcee, it looks like you'll be as good as Soundwave, but right now I have a task for you" he paused and saw Arcee not even moving, she wasn't afraid of what he had in store for her " an energon mine appeared and I want her to accompany Breakdown who will guard the vehicons while they mine the energon, in case of an attack by the autobots you will retreat back to Nemesis, I don't want them to know about our new reinforcement" Megatron said and Arcee just bowed, before without any unnecessary words she went to the control panel of the underground bridge, where Breakdown was waiting.
Megatron gave a creepy smile "she looks reliable and maybe I'll have her as my second in command for Airachnid" he said and Soundwave just turned and continued what he was doing. Megatron left the room and received a message that the energon mine was secured and that Knockout was there as well. He needed to talk to him.
When Megatron came to the mine, he was happy that he finally found a proper mine, but it was still not enough.
"Knockout you call yourself a scientist, you should have long ago found another mine from which we would have enough energy" said Megatron as he towered over Knockout and he shrank like a scared dog.
"But...Lord Megatron, we were surprised by a new Autobot" Knockout said and Megatron went to ask when Breakdown came into the room.
Megatron frowned "What is it?" he asked, but Breakdown fell to the ground and the Autobot medic Ratchet stood behind him.
"Well this one," said Knockout who was almost hiding behind Megatron.
"This one? after all, he's just Optimus' doctor" said Megatron when he laughed at the irony that his troops are afraid of an ordinary field medic.
"No Megatron, I'm your evil doctor" Ratchet said before running up and punching Megatron in the middle of the face sending him flying into a nearby wall. Megatron touched his face and got back to his feet.
Ratchet went to punch him again "this is behind Cybertron ahhh" Ratchet yelled as he went to punch Megatron, but he grabbed his arm, twisted it around and punched him in the chest making a big gash that had green liquid coming out of it. Megatron threw Ratchet to the ground and he clutched his wound. Megatron began to walk away "Knockout take a sample, if this fluid can do this to Optimus' medics it will do wonders to our soldiers." He said and left.
Arcee, who was standing behind the rock wall the whole time, managed to hide before Megatron saw her. She watched further and saw Knockout start thanking the Decepticons for their contribution and when he went to kill him, the Autobot medic gathered his strength and started to fight back. Knockout was also discarded with green liquid, or at that time synthetic energon.
Knockout started attacking and while the two medics were fighting. Arcee walked over to the container and picked it up. That's when Knockout got stuck in the wall with his saw because he didn't land a blow.
Ratchet looked at her and examined who she was. He saw the decepticon insignia "who are you a decepticon?" asked Ratchet who was barely on his feet and Knockout was laughing from behind him.
"Don't worry doctor you will still recognize me but I think your friend died by my hand I think his name was wait...yes Ironhide or Elita-One you can choose my list is long" said Arcee and her bottom was not visible faces.
"It was you! You Decepticon scumbag!" Ratchet yelled and as he went to attack her she transformed and left, leaving Knockout and Ratchet alone.
Knockout saw that Ratchet was busy looking at the place where Arcee disappeared and when he went to attack him from behind, the Autobots came again. Bulkhead, Bumblebee and Optimus ran out of the corridor, and they immediately started shooting at him. Knockout transformed and ran away.
Ratchet fell to the ground from exhaustion and loss of energy. All the Autobots were at his side right away and took him to the base, where Optimus repaired him with Bumblebee's help.
Ratchet woke up and immediately went to stand up, when he was stopped by Optimus, who put a hand on his shoulder.
"I… I just wanted to help" Ratchet as he looked into the lens of his leader and old friend.
"We know, but we almost lost an irreplaceable doctor and friend, but you also led us to a good supply of raw energon" Optimus said and smiled sincerely as he watched Bumblebee and Bulkhead store the energon cubes.
"Optimus we need to talk about something" Ratchet said and the look on his face said it was very important. Optimus nodded.
"Bumblebee and Bulkhead, then you can stack those energy supplies, go get the kids and bring them to the base. Optimus said.
Bumblebee and Bulkhead obeyed and left the base in seconds."So what did you want to talk about Ratchet?" Optimus asked as he sat next to him so he wouldn't tower over Ratchet.
"The Decepticons have new reinforcements. She's a femme here that we never caught and we thought fell from Cybertron" said Ratchet. Optimus looked at him confused, it is impossible for her to survive, Cybetron fell many years ago.
"Ratchet are you sure about this?" Optimus asked not wanting to upset him further. He knew how Ratchet hated having his opinion questioned, but he just didn't want to believe that he was alive.
"I'm 100 percent sure, she looked just like the description Ironhide gave then and then we him killed in his room. And he was the first one she mentioned when I asked who he was and the second one was Elita" Ratchet said. Optimus sighed and put his hand on his shoulder.
"Rest old friend" He said as he left the room.
For Optimus, the topic of Elite was still painful. He loved her and all she had left was their adopted child Bumblebee, who was found in the alley destroyed by Praxus.
Nemesis
Knockout returned to Nemesis and Megatron was furious as they lost a lot of energon to the Autobots.
Knockout returned to his bay where Breakdown was still lying, who was unconscious, and a container of green liquid that Arcee had taken. He wanted to thank her when he noticed a lot of small scratches, which he had to polish immediately.
Arcee finally made it to her cabin and the first thing she did was visit the wash racks.
She took off her armor and let the hot water run down her protoform. She was a soldier, one of the best, but before everyone she was still a femme who loved hot oil, but could also be satisfied with hot water.
When she got out of the washing racks, she lay down on the berth and just wanted to recharge for a few cycles. When she was disturbed by the knocking. Reluctantly, she stood up and saw Knockout standing there.
She looked at him and motioned for him to enter the room. Arcee leaned against the table she had opposite the berth and looked at him.
"I just came to thank you for your help with the medic" He said looking nervous.
"Is that all?" She asked and Knockout just nodded quickly and left. Arcee watched as he turned the corner and as the door almost closed there was a ped in the doorway. "Did you forget something Knockout?" She asked as she stood with her back. She heard a clank and knew who it was, but it definitely wasn't Knockout.
"No, but I thought I could spend some time with my daughter and maybe get some energy" Soundwave said. Arcee put her hand over her face and the shield stayed in her hand, as did the Soundwave visor.
She turned and saw that she was holding two energon cubes in her hand. She took one that he offered and sat down on the berth and he sat down next to her.
They were quiet while they drank the energon and even after, but they weren't in that terrible silence when the father interrogates his daughter about why she ran away from home. But in a pleasant way.
Arcee leaned against Soundwave's chest and slowly fell asleep. Soundwave was sitting there and had his arm around her shoulder and let her sleep as he too began to slowly fall asleep when his communication line opened.
"Soundwave you are needed on the bridge" was heard Knockout's voice. Soundwave sighed and slowly rolled Arcee onto her other side and covered her with a thermal blanket and left.
Work will not wait.
