Transformers Prime - retribution

Chapter 2 - The rogue/trust exercise part 1 (trust issues)

It's been a week since Raiden joined team prime and he has managed to get to know everyone a lot better. He found out that he and Optimus were a lot like and he got along with every one quite fine, he actually made a mutual trust with Ratchet, Bulkhead and Bumblebee had a good friendship with him, the humans were a bit cautious at first but after a while they eventually trusted him and Raiden actually found a new thing he liked that humans made, their music. Raiden was currently in a secluded canyon training by himself. though he knew Arcee was watching him from a distance, she was the only one that still didn't trust him. but after continuing his training for another five minute, he decided to let her know that he knew that she had been watching.

Raiden: "Why have you been spying on me for the past few days?"

Arcee now realizing that he knew she had been watch decided to walk out of her observation/hiding spot.

Arcee: "To make sure you have no intention of harming my teammates."

Raiden: "If I did I would have likely have killed you already."

Arcee: "........"

Raiden: "Look I know that you don't trust me, believe me the feeling is mutual."

"Look I have my reasons for..." She said but was interrupted by a transition from ratchet.

Ratchet: "Arcee, Raiden, return to base, we have a situation."

A ground-bridge appeared and they both walked through.

( Timeskip)

(Location - Autobot base)

When Raiden and Arcee arrived back at base they say that almost everyone was gathered behind Ratchet who was at the terminal.

Arcee: "What's going on?"

Ratchet: "We picked up distress signal located in Ireland a few minutes ago, we are planning to send two people to check it out."

Arcee: "Let me guess I'm going because I'm the smallest, (Sigh) who else are you sending?"

Optimus: "We were planning on sending Raiden as well."

Arcee: "(sigh) Lets go."

Ratchet started up the bridge once again and the two walked through. Once Raiden and Arcee had Ireland and were now and started to scan for the signal.

Arcee: "Scanner says that the signal is south-west?"

Raiden: "Let's go then I'll take point."

Arcee: "no I will."

Raiden: "I sense this because you don't trust me?"

Arcee: "well your assumption is correct?"

"Why don't you trust him, he seems alright to me?" said a voice behind them, they turned and saw that Miko had followed them.

Raiden: "How did you?"

Arcee: "Ugh, again?"

Raiden: "This isn't the first time?"

Arcee: "Nope, no point in sending her back, she'll just follow us again."

Raiden merely pick Miko up and places her on his shoulder and the three when towards the signal.

(Timeskip: 20 minutes)

after twenty minutes of walking the three arrived at the entrance of a cave, they were about to enter till Raiden put his arm in front of Arcee stopping her.

Arcee: "What?"

Raiden activated his battle-mask and visor and activated his fusion-cannon before answering her,"Proceed with caution."

Arcee activated her blaster before they went into the cave. After five minutes of wandering they eventually found the location the signal came from, only to find that there was nothing there, they were about to leave till...

Raiden: "Hold up, detecting movement an energon signature form the other tunnel."

And on queue the sound of peds hitting the floor was heard and eventually a silhouette of a Cybertronian with crimson red optics came into visual

???: "Autobots or Decepticons?"

Raiden: "Autobots."

"............ Oh thank primus that Autobots picked up my distress signal." said the Cybertronian while walking into the light, he had a black colour scheme and appeared to be a flyer, but what caught their attention the most was that he had a Decepticon insignia.

(Artwork belongs to Battledroid1106, he is an amazing artist as well as a story writer)

Miko: "Um, your a Decepticon, why are you happy to see us."

???: "First off former Decepticon, I left the cause 100 solar-cycle(years) ago. Second I overheard on Decepticon com chatter that I'm on the D.J.D hit list."

Miko: "What's the D.J.D?"

Arcee: "The Decepticon Justice Division a group of cons that hunt down rogue cons."

Raiden: "Who are you?"

???: "My designation is Blackout! Short, sweet, rolls off the tongue. Femmes love it!"

There was a moment of silence before Miko and surprisingly Arcee burst into laughter while Raiden had a confused look because didn't really understand what he said.

Blackout: "What!?"

Miko: "That catchphrase is ridicules!!!!!!"

Blackout: "NO IT'S NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Arcee: "Do femmes love it?"

Blackout: "YES!..... I think."

This response made Miko burst into laughter once again and Arcee merely giggled but it was interrupted by Raiden clearing his pipes(Throat) to gain their attention.

Raiden: "I believe it would be best to continue this conversation elsewhere."

"Why, I believe now is a good time," said a familiar voice behind the two Autobots. they turned to see arachnid, breakdown and about 40 vehicons with her.

Raiden: "Oh you have got to be Fragging kidding me!"

Blackout: "LANGUEGE!"

Raiden/Miko: "English."
