The Beauty and the Predacon {ON HOLD}

Chapter 23

I hope no one seriously thought the last chapter was gonna be the end of the book. Defiantly not, this book is far from over, there's still a bit of a way to go before we reach the end. I will leave a note to let you all know when the book is coming to an end and I will put a note on the very last chapter to let it be known that it is the end, but that's still a ways off so don't worry. ;)

WARNING: This chapter has sex in it at the end. You will see this '~~' when it will start.

Enjoy!

~~~~~~~~~~

A bit of time has passed since the Autobots returned to their home planet. Arcee remains with her team to help rebuild and look for Shockwave and Starscream but she can't stop thinking about Predaking, she really misses him. Her spark aches as she yearns to be with him again, but she needs to help her team.

After Optimus leaves with Wheeljack to go search for the All-Spark the rest of the Autobots proceed with the search for the two 'Cons and Bulkhead sees to the reconstruction. When Smokescreen returns from a patrol with a severely injured Ultra Magnus and tells them that they were attacked by two Predacons, Arcee's spark sinks. Does Predaking know about these Predacons?

Ratchet comes to Cybertron to tend to Magnus' injuries. After scanning him he looks at the results on the computer, "He is suffering from a multitude of internal injuries. Most quite severe." He tells the others. 

Arcee looks over at Bumblebee and Bulkhead as she asks the persistent question, "So anyone care to explain what two more Predacons are doing on Cybertron?"

The two mechs look at her and Bulkhead responds with a confused tone, "I thought Optimus said that new life was impossible without the All-Spark."

"I'm no authority but something tells me that cloning old bones, doesn't constitute new life." Bumblebee tells them with a serious look.

"Shockwave's been playing in his lab since the war." Bulkhead states, "Why stop now?"

"Doesn't matter where those beasts came from." The three look back at Smokescreen who is leaning against the wall, "We got to take them down."

Arcee listens to them silently as her spark tears between her team and Predaking. She gets where they're coming from, more Predacons means more danger and trouble for them. But it would make Predaking very happy to have more Predacons around and maybe even have his Predacon army he had been wanting. But it would be too dangerous for them, she might be safe since she's Predaking's sparkmate but she can't be too certain. She also keeps getting that small thought in the back of her processor that maybe Predaking will decide to make a Predacon femme his mate instead and throw her away.

"Arcee!" Arcee looks at the mechs to see them looking at her with worried expressions, "Are you alright?" Bumblebee asks her.

"I'm fine."

"Do you think we should call Optimus?" Bulkhead asks her.

"Really? And interrupt his quest to save the future of our race on Cybertron?"

"I have an idea, follow me." Bumblebee tells them. They look at him questioningly but they proceed to follow him.

They reach an area of the planet where the metal is scattered and raised into small hills and cliffs, "Watch your step." Bumblebee tells them before pulling out a metal rod from a scrapheap. The other three watch him walk forward as they wonder what he's up to.

"Who made him leader?" Smokescreen asked.

"'Bee did snuff Megatron." Bulkhead stated.

"I'm not leading." Bumblebee says as he looks down at the ground. He squats down to scrape up some Energon onto his digit and examines it, "I'm scouting." He says before walking on.
