Life's New Adventures and Secrets

Chapter 35

They run through the portal and into the cave where they see Strongarm and Arcee cuddling with Jackal and Octopus. "Who are those guys?" Metalsound asked as Steeljaw and Wheeljack quickly made their way to their mates. The enraged mechs tore the Jackal and Octopus away from the femmes.

The two femmes jumped up, "What are you doing?" They both asked.

"Who are you?" Strongarm asked Steeljaw.

"You better get off my mate," Thunderhoof growled.

"Your mate? What is this guy talking about?" Metalsound asked Sloth.

"What do you mean what am I talking about? I'm your mate, remember? What did this guy do to you?"

Metalsound looked at him in confusion.

Steeljaw stared at Strongarm with hurt optics, "Strongarm, it's me, Steeljaw. Your mate."

"What? I never met you before in my whole life, no way are you my mate."

Steeljaw felt like someone had just torn his spark out of his chest. Ultra Magnus runs up to Strongarm, "Strongarm."

"Dad, what are you doing here?" Strongarm asked looking at him in surprise.

"Strongarm, what did they do to you?"

"What do you mean? They found us knocked out, at least that's what they told us, I can't recall from what though."

"But they haven't done anything to us," Arcee added.

"You mean besides assaulting you," Wheeljack growled in fury, wanting to get Arcee away from the Octopus.

"What? They didn't assault us. I don't know what you're talking about, Wheeljack, and get your servos off of me. You're acting like we're together."

Strongarm notices the others there, "Lieutenant, when did Dad, Uncle Bulkhead, Uncle Wheeljack, Optimus, and Megatron get to this planet? It was only you, me, and that punk that came through the Space Bridge. And who is this Wolf-Con and that Elk guy? Also, Optimus is supposed to be dead and in the realm of the Primes. Since when is he alive again?"

"Very funny, Strongarm, you know how they came here," Bumblebee says thinking Strongarm is joking.

"Wheeljack, you still haven't answered my question. Why are you holding me like we're together?"

"Because we are together, we're mates, and we have a son. Why are you acting like this?" Wheeljack asked.

"What? We never mated, and what son? I don't have a son, I haven't even interfaced or sparkbonded with anyone yet."

Wheeljack slowly let her go before turning to face the Octopus, "You are going to reverse whatever you did to my mate," he growled in a calm tone as he pulled out his swords.

"I'm not being funny, Lieutenant. What is going on? The last thing I remember is you, me, and the punk Sideswipe going through the Space Bridge and ending up here on Earth."

"Hey!" Sideswipe called out feeling offended.

"What? It's the truth."

"Strongarm, you really don't remember anything?" Steeljaw asked feeling like he was falling into a dark pit.

"No."

"Strongarm, we've been on this planet for about seven years," Bumblebee tells her.

"Seven years?"

"Yes, and your father and the others came five years ago. You are mates with Steeljaw here, and have been for over five years."

"They're lying," Jackal said, pulling Strongarm close.
