Ratchet demanded some of us leave. Because we were too big and crowded the Medbay. I'm not that big! Nor is Megatron! Or Optimus! We're okay size!

Meg left us quickly, saying he was gonna get the Preds to kill the remaining dead preds.

"Why is he leaving us alone?" I asked Oppy.

"I dunno."

"It's not a good idea." I added.

"You're not alone." Magnus said from behind us, holding a squirming and gagged Knockout.

"Ah?" I asked.

"He's under arrest for malpractice." He clarified. "Breakdown got his leg crashed in the elevator and he took that as a invite for foreplay-"

"Okay." Optimus stopped him there. "Is Breakdown still stuck?"

Magnus paused shamefully, "I'll go get him." He grumbled and handed Knockout to me.

"Where did he get servo cuffs?" I asked as I picked at it's shiny lock, they came off. Oppy removed his gag.

He made a dramatic gasp for air (which he didn't need), "That slagger-"

Optimus cast him a glare.

"I was just trying to lighten the mood!" He argued, "And he had to cut off the fun!"

"Well, now that you're here, you can tend to Jazz." Optimus said and gestured to the medbay.

"What? Not your Chickens-" He started and opened the door, "Ratchet! Old goon! What are you doing here?" And the door closed, Ratchet was going to be pissed.

Then Magnus came out of nowhere. "Where?" He started, trying to hold up Breakdown's weight.

"Tending to Jazz." Optimus said.

"Jazz?"

"We found him on Cybertron." I explained.

Magnus snorted and headed into the Medbay with Breakdown, "Where else?" He muttered as the door closed behind him.

After a little silence Optimus turned to me, "You said, when we took off, that we forgot Airachnid." He started.

"What? You want to fetch her?" I asked.

"The war is over." He pointed out.

"Arghhh." I groaned.

Now we're on Earth- using Decepticon trackers (Which were much better than Autobot ones).

"Megsy will be so mad." I started as I looked at the scanner in my arms.

"Don't call him that." Op grumbled and turned the scanner in the right direction.

"Okay Oppy."

"Zip it Quilly." He teased. "Wrong way." He added as I turned the scanner.

"Huh?"

"You go where the reading is strongest. Not where the stick points." He explained and we started walking.

We found a bunch of trees covered in webs soon enough. "Mrs Spider!"

"Miss." Optimus corrected in a whisper, "Or Ms. Might be a widow."

"I thought she was a arachnid?" I whispered.

She poked a leg out of what seemed to be a hammock. "What?" She hissed and then spotted us.

"I don't believe we've formally met." I started.

"You tore my legs out!" She argued.

"I said formally!" I shouted while Optimus looked at me angrily, "Only five I think." I added to him, "I'm Quillux, Meg's brother, that's Op-" She shot webbing at my intake, effectively shutting me up.
