Transformers : Prime {OC Insert} ~ Season One ~

Season 1 Episode 17: Crisscross

No one's POV

It was in the middle of the forest and there was lasers were being pointed at all dictations. Normal thing to see in the middle of the night. It looked like cat heaven in there. But it turns out to be MECH looking for something like always. Even Marcellus and Silas were walking around like they were playing some laser tag. "Suppression fire only. We take this one alive.", Silas told his team as they all keep looking around. Soon there was sounds of something dropping came from behind them. They all turned to see something moving fast. Like a little huge jumping spider that was leaping from tree to tree. They keep shooting at it to get it some what hurt. I don't know what warning shots are to them, but that ain't them. One of the men were able to shoot it when it hit the ground before leaping off somewhere. They rushes over to it as they only saw nothing that was laying there. Silas taps the side of his googles to see some webbing that was too big for a normal spider. "Webbing. Be careful with this one.", Marcellus said as he noted to webs. They were able to locate where the creature was. "Tight formation.", MECH's leader said as the crew jumps down in a ditch. They all looked and saw that they were in the middle of the nest. Webbing being held as string that was breaking. They were getting closer and closer to the thing. Then it just disappeared off the map. No where to be seen. The small team was looking around to see where it has gone off too. That was before three out of the five were taken. All of them in the giant web that was placed above. Little bugs that have become human. Finally the sounds of hiss was in the distances. Arachnid. 

Marcellus and his partner Silas were pointing their guns at the crew that been trapped in the webbing. They all ground trying their best to get out. While looking up at their followers; some pebbles were falling in front of the two. They noticed it since there was no cliff that was hanging above. Well something was hang above them. It was Arachnid as she hisses down towards the humans. The pair tries to shoot at her, but there was no use. She grabbed to two of them while rushing their guns. Once the blasters weren't able to go pew pew, she tosses them to a wall. To not make them fall to their death, we webbed them down. Stronger then any trap that has been man-made. "Don't tell me MECH never considered that an open channel distress signal from an injured Decepticon might be a trap.", The con spider lady said to the leaders of the human cons. She was up close to their faces. One shot for using her acid on them. Marc didn't look to pleased since this was once again on their foolish parts. "Bear that in mind next time.", Silas said as he just keeps a cold stone face on. This made Arachnid chuckle. "Next time? Decepticon radio chatters all buzz about the work over you gave poor Breakdown. As an ex-con myself I really should eviscerate the two of you for that.",  She was saying since it seem likes the two used to be close when their planet was alive. "What's the but?", The mad scientist asked. The spider con growls to him since he was talking out of turn, but let it slide for now. "But! A little acquaintance and her nasty little human destroyed my ship and skinned my knee. I need to pay them back in kind. Both of them.",  Arachnid told the men as they just watched her. Once she was done telling her little story about Jack and Arcee that happen a while go; she get all in their faces. "You see I may get in and out of places most Decepticons can't but I'm still learning to navigate this planet.",  The spider con said as she was almost trying to kiss the two humans. "What's in if for MECH?", The leader of the human con asked since there has to be a fair deal. "Name your price and we name ours.", Marcellus said as he looks at the femme. "I'll let you both live and since you came to collect a 'transformer' was it? I'll throw in whatever's left of Arcee, after I've broken her.",  Arachnid said as she get the human and they get the bot. 

While with the infamous duo they were coming home from along day at the base and trying to stop the cons. But this time they're not alone. No no who could it be, the Esquivel sister. Jack's mother was home as her car was sitting in the driveway in case she gets a call. Jack was walking Arcee on the property as Alex was next to him. "Thanks for walking me home Jack. You're a real gentleman.", Arcee said to him while messing with the boy. "I know right. Who would ever knew Jack was much a gentleman?", The older sibling said as she chuckles when getting nudge on the side. Jack looked at her and just glares. "Knock it off Alex. I don't want Arcee revved up before bedtime.", He said to the bot. The inventor teen rolls her eyes while looking at the boy. The hero boy went over to the garage to lift it up. He had his back turns to the house while lifting it up. "Mom's a light sleeper and I don't think that she'd understand about.", He was saying, but soon revealed his mother standing there. "Understand what Jack?", She asked him as this made both teens be shocked in fear. "You breaking curfew for the third time this month for some girl?", She said while pointing out some personal stuff. Alex looked at offended while just standing there trying not to get into family drama. "Mom.", Jack said as he tries his best to explains. "Or why your boss called about you missing another shift at work. Or maybe the email I received from your art history teacher who's concerned that you've been falling asleep in class.", The mother was saying as she walks up to him. "Two words mom. Art and History.", The hero boy said while saying the fact how lame the class was to him. Alex was slowly walking away to head towards her house since this wasn't about her. "You stay Esquivel. You're mother will be here soon. Now tell me the rumors aren't true Jack. Tell me you're not racing that motorcycle.", She said to the teens. This made the two of them think about the last time they were in trouble for racing. That wasn't a pleasant talk with Optimus. The sister nods and goes sit by the curb with her bags. "No no wait where did you hear that? And Alex doesn't have anything to do with this.", He said while leaving the teen inventor out of it. And the rumors of him racing was a one time thing. Never happened again when Knockout tried to kidnap a child. "Small town. People talk. I work in an emergency room Jack. I've seen what can happen. So please tell me you haven't fallen in with a bad crowd.", The mother said as she was just being what any mother would do when hearing you kid is a street racer. June also pointed the facts about how Alex was a street racer. Jack looks behind him and shakes his head no as the teen girl was picked up from her mother. "What? No no no no. My friends are the good crowd. Seriously good.", He told his mother. I mean all the kids have their own up and downs. So do the bots that save the world while being hidden. "I let you have that bike because you convinced me you were mature enough to handle it. But I think you may need a gentle reminder.", She said to her kid. All June wanted was her son to be safe. But how can he be safe if there's an alien civil war going throughout plants. Or even galaxies. "Message received mom. Loud and clear. I'm glad we had this talk.", The son said to his mother as he understand her warning. "I meant let's see if a few weeks without the distraction of your motorcycle will do the trick.", June said while taking a huge and major thing of the world's secret. "But.", The hero boy was saying, but couldn't say since it wasn't easiest thing to explain. "No butts. You're grounded from everything but school and work. And if you want to take a bike to either you'll pedal.", The  nurse said while showing her son the bike that he hasn't used since Arcee came into his life. He just looks down at the bike and all the memories that he had with it. June gets in front if her son to get him focus. "Serious face Jack. If I see that motorcycle out of the garage.", she was going to say more, but it was a late night and a school one too. All she does is kisses his forehead while looking more calm now. "Now go wash up and get some sleep. I love you.", She said and headed inside to get some sleep too. When she was gone if was finally time to break the ice. "I'll miss you while you're grounded.",  The warrior said while getting pulled inside. Jack sighed since this was going to be tough for the two of them. "Don't worry Arcee, I'll visit you here every day.", He said once they were fully inside. But there was a major role that was missing. Maybe because she an Autobot. "Uh Jack. I won't be here sitting on my fat tires for two weeks is not an option.", Acree explains as she need to get out from time to time to do missions that were needed. "No no. You saw mom serious face. Look Arcee I feel badly enough that I've had to lie to her all this time, but if you're not here. She's gonna think that I'm blowing her off.", Jack stated since his mother isn't the easiest person to get to understand. "Deep breathes Jack. Your mom works late nights. I'll try to get in the garage before she gets home, but no promises.", The warrior femme told him as this was the only plan that the two has.
