The Beauty and the Predacon {ON HOLD}

Chapter 24

Sorry it took a while to update, I was having some stuff going on and I was getting into other shows and fandoms and I had completely lost motivation to write. But I recently started getting it back so I can finally update all of my stories. :) Enjoy! ^^

It took some time for Arcee to get enough strength back into her legs so she could stand up. Predaking watched her as she would try to stand and stumble to the ground, "Maybe you should wait a bit longer."

"I promise, I'm fine." She says as she tries to get up again, this time she's actually able to stay standing though her legs are a bit wobbly. She could feel Predaking's concern and guilt through the bond so she sends him a wave of reassurance as she stretches out her legs.

Predaking growls softly, "I hate that we're parting so soon."

Arcee stops stretching and looks at him, "I hate it too, Predaking. But I need to help my team and you should see about finding the two Predacons. We'll meet up soon, I promise."

Predaking pulls her in for one last hug before letting her go and Arcee transforms and drives off. Predaking stands up as he watches her drive off with a heavy spark, but after a moment he transforms and flies off to look for the other two Predacons.

When Arcee catches up to the other three they were heading towards Megatron's Citadel, "Why are we heading to Megatron's Citadel?"

"Arcee, nice of you to join us. We're looking for Shockwave's cloning lab." Bumblebee responded.

"What makes you think we'll find it here?"

"Yeah, wasn't Darkmount Megatron's military HQ?" Smokescreen asked.

"If the intel I received from Knockout is accurate..." Bumblebee begins saying before he transforms, "We'll find Shockwave's entire lab network in the Citadel's databank."

When they reached the top of the Citadel Bumblebee and Arcee started searching the databanks while Bulkhead watched and Smokescreen sat on Megatron's old throne chair, "Lord Smokescreen, emperor of destruction." He says in a deep voice before smiling and doing a silly dance in the chair, but he stops when he sees Bulkhead looking at him.

"How can you sit there?" Bulkhead asked him, "That's some bad mojo."

Meanwhile, Arcee and Bumblebee find the information they were looking for, "What do you know? Knockout actually shot straight for once." Bumblebee says as he looks at the screen.

"What did you have to do, buff his finish?" Arcee asked jokingly.

"Close. Let's download the data and get out of here."

Before they could start doing anything Bulkhead speaks up, "Hey, something's heading our way."

Bumblebee and Arcee turn to look at what he's pointing at, "Predaking?" Bumblebee asked.

"No, he went to look for the other two Predacons." Arcee responded.

"Starscream?" Bulkhead questioned.

Bumblebee adjusted his optics to get a better look before looking shocked, they see the form of Megatron flying in and landing in front of them. They couldn't believe that he was alive and standing before them, "Minions of the Prime. Prepare to be obliterated."

"Megatron?" Bumblebee asks as he steps back and balls up his servos.

Smokescreen runs over to him, "You skewered Buckethead with a giant saber and managed to miss his spark?"
