The Beauty and the Predacon {ON HOLD}

Chapter 2

"The prisoner, my lord," Shockwave announces as he and Arcee walk onto the bridge where Megatron is standing.

Megatron turns around, "Arcee, so nice of you to join us."

"Not like I had a choice."

Megatron ignores her remark, "I have to admit, that attack you all did was clever. But also foolish, we could have easily struck you all down to where there was nothing left."

"But you didn't. We still came out victorious."

"Victorious? You talk about being victorious when you're now our prisoner. And you still failed to take us out, I'm still standing and the Decepticons are still going strong."

"Our goal wasn't to take you down, it was to take down Darkmount and we succeeded. Your tower has been destroyed and you can no longer terrorize Earth."

"Terrorize? My dear, you have me all wrong. I wanted to help better the planet, all the humans had to do was follow my orders."

"Yeah, to the point they were enslaved or killed."

"Their lives would have been better."

"Pfft yeah right," Arcee says as she rolls her optics.

"Tell me, Arcee. Where is your team?"

"Do you really think I would tell you? I would never tell you even if I knew."

"You do know we could just pull it from you."

"She knows that all too well," Shockwave says as he remembers his first encounter with the femme. She was holding the coordinates to Optimus' location and Starscream wanted those coordinates, but she refused to say anything no matter what he did. Even after capturing Cliffjumper and putting his life on the line she still refused to speak, so Starscream had no choice but to take them to Shockwave where the Cortical Psychic Patch was used on Arcee and they were able to get the coordinates.

Arcee remembered that too like it was just done yesterday. She shivered slightly as the memories flooded her processor. She hated the feeling of that thing being connected to her helm as information got pulled from her processor like a human pulling information from a computer. She hopes she never has to experience it again but she probably will if they decide to do it on her to get the location of her team. But that would be a waste as she really doesn't know where they are. "You won't get anything because I really don't know where they are."

"I find that hard to believe."

Arcee just rolled her optics again as she folded her arms, "If you're gonna kill me then do it already."

"I don't intend to kill you. You're one of the last femmes alive, probably ARE the only femme alive, so I'm not gonna kill you. Better yet, I may just give you to one of my soldiers as a mate."

Arcee's optics widened, surely she didn't hear that right, "What did you say?"

"You heard right, I may give you to one of my soldiers as a mate."

Arcee scowled, "Never!"

"You don't have a say in the matter. But we'll discuss that more later. Shockwave," Megatron turns his attention to the said mech, "how is Project Predacon coming along?"

"It's going well." Shockwave turns and heads off the bridge, "If you would follow me, my liege."

Megatron looks to Arcee and motions for her to go first. Arcee unfolds her arms and starts walking off the bridge behind Shockwave, with Megatron and Starscream trailing behind. When the four get to the room Shockwave leads them to, Arcee sees Shockwave grab something and place it on a table that's suited to scan stuff. Arcee takes a good look at the thing as Shockwave scans it. Is that a Predacon fossil?
