Optimus x Ratchet

Web of lies

"Ugh.. what..? Gah! Where-where the frag am i?!" Ratchet exclaims before trying the stasis cuffs, he continued struggling until there was a laugh. It sounded familiar.. ratchet froze before growling lowly, "airachnid..." and as if on cue, she popped out from the darkness as screeched in front of his face. She looked a bit more terrorcon than before. Ratchet leaned back as he shivered from disgust she drooled out purple goop, and hissed at his face. "Ratchet.. long time no see." The spider-copter says before leaning away, ratchet nearly gagged at the smell of musty, old energon. "I think it was better that- way.." "oh please.. how's optimus? Or better yet, arcee? I miss her and our little games.." ratchet remained silent as he was too tired for this slag. Airachnid growled in response of his silence and struck him with one of her spider legs, "answer me!" She hisses at the medic but ratchet remained resilient.
'The is going to be a long solar-cycle...'

"What?!"
Bumblebee shouted as he panicked by clinging to optimus' arm, "insecticons??" "Yes, this.. goop seems to come from an insecticon, I've ran some scans along with the study of those scratch marks. It was definitely an insecticon that kidnapped ratchet." Greencross says as he sat down and placed the datapad down, optimus did his best to look as calm as possible but inside. The orion was freaking out. "Do we have any leads on where the insecticon might have taken him?" Optimus asks as greencross shook his helm, "not yet.. primus- i hope he's okay- i swear, if he gets hurt then I'm turning them into scrap metal!" "We better keep this to ourselves, we do not need this information to draw attention. The knowledge of the leader of the high council missing will grow more tension for who will be selected into the high council." They both gave a nod before bumblebee said, "I'll put together a team to search for a lead, don't worry, they'll be my most trusted." Optimus gave a nod as he got up, "and i need to go see how the citizens are doing today.." he sighs as greencross asked, "could i tag along?" Optimus looked to him and gave a nod, the youngest mech had a smile on his visor before following the prime out of the police station.

"You cons kidnapped ratchet!"
"Dear primus.. they already know.." greencross whispers to optimus as they stood in the middle of the street where policebots were doing their best to keep each sides apart. "No! You did, just to frame us!" One of the ex-cons shouted, greencross shrunk a little behind optimus, "they're blaming each other- looks like non of them know what really went down but- who started the rumor?" The prime hummed as he watched as both sides continued to argue, he then huffed out, "this is going to be a long solar-cycle.."

Airachnid chuckled, "oh ratchet.. you don't know how hard it was to survive until.. i heard that you restored the well of the allspark- so i had to go see for myself." She then started to walk around the medic who was on the floor, holding onto his wounds. "It was beautiful.. although this was not what i wanted, ever since megatron fell, i watched your little dream grow. But.. i have a dream of my own.. you see- i have my own visions and one of them is me being the queen of cybertron!!" She yells as the three insecticons screeched in praise. Ratchet snorted and said, "you really lost your processor while being out here- urgh-!" Airachnid stabbed his arm with one of her sharp, spider legs, she glared daggers at the medic before smiling and chuckling, "well.. maybe you're right, doctor.. I haven't been feeling myself lately.." an insecticon returned and bowed to airachnid, "my queen, i have finished spreading the lies about the kidnap of ratchet." The spider-femme smiled, "good, good.." ratchet growled, "this will only bring up another war! Do-do you really want to fragging live through the same song and dance?!" "If it puts me on top, then.. yes." Ratchet huffed out in frustration, "this WON'T work.. there will be even more suffering and your designation will be up there with megatron's for tyranny." "This is a monarchy, NOT tyranny!" She hisses before pinning ratchet's other arm to the floor, "and you will be my first victim."

"Why would this unknown kidnap ratchet?" Bumblebee opened his dermas before greencross said, "ep, ep! That was a rhetorical question. There are various of reasons on why ratchet would've been captured, of course mainly because he's a temporary high council and the chief medical officer and a very smart engineer. Although, what is the purpose? What is their plan?" Optimus thought for a long while before a thought came into his processor, "airachnid.." bumblebee looked over blinking before realizing what he was getting at, "of course! Last we saw the insecticons, airachnid was commanding them like a queen! But.. isn't she offline..?" Optimus hummed before asking his (adopted)son, "do we still have the decepticon coordinate logs?" Bee nodded, "once we trace back to when airachnid disappeared, then we could possibly find a clue of some sort!" "Then let us make it so.. i only wish for ratchet's safety at this point..." optimus mutters the last part to himself but greencross caught what the prime said and wondered if there was something special between the two.

Sorry if it's a little sort, i have been "lazy" i guess you can say.. I've been stressed out about life and i want to commit die :)) anyways, I'll get the next chap out sooner or later- cya
