The Beauty and the Predacon {ON HOLD}

Chapter 5

I MEANT TO UPDATE THIS STORY LAST MONTH, I SWEAR I DID!! But life got in the way and I couldn't get around to it until now. So sorry for taking so long but I hope you enjoy the new chapter. ^-^

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Who is it? Is it the same ones or the others? Whichever ones they are I hope they will be alright. Arcee could do nothing but ponder and worry as she waited for Starscream and the Predacon to return. She listens to the conversation between Starscream and Megatron in hopes of getting information on what's going on.

"...and the Predacon is dealing with the Autobots' pet-human as we speak..."

Arcee didn't hear the rest of what was said as her Energon ran cold, the words just replayed over and over in her processor as she wondered which one it was. She would assume it's Miko because she's the only one who would risk being in the midst of the action. If it is her then that means the 'Bots that are there are Bulkhead and Wheeljack, and most likely Ultra Magnus.

Please don't kill her.

"No use in mourning the loss of one of your pets, not like you were ever gonna see them again anyway," Megatron said coldly bringing Arcee's attention to him. She just glared at him, he doesn't understand how it feels to lose one you care about because he doesn't care about anything. All he cares about is ruling the Universe and causing destruction and chaos everywhere. But Arcee doesn't say anything, she just keeps her mouth shut and waits.

Arcee and Miko didn't get along too well, Miko was always loud and so rambunctious. She would always get on Arcee's nerves with her carelessness, running straight into danger not caring how it could affect her or the 'Bots. But Arcee had gotten used to it over time and Miko has been getting slightly better, though she still likes getting into the midst of battle. She just hopes Miko is alright, more for Bulkhead's sake. Arcee knows how much the big lug cares for the girl, he would go absolutely bonkers if anything was to happen to her.

Arcee started thinking about Jack, she couldn't begin to express how much she missed the boy. The drives they went on together, helping him with his schoolwork, being parked in his garage at night as she waited for him to get up in the mornings. She misses it all. She misses his company. She knows he's safe, her teammates will look after him and make sure he stays as safe as possible. And he still has transportation, Smokescreen is there to drive him to places he may need to go. Arcee still doesn't fully trust Smokescreen with Jack but he has proven himself recently and he's not as careless as he had been, so she trusts him to take care of Jack until she can get back to them.

"Arcee!"

Arcee looks at Megatron who is now halfway to the door. She had been so lost in her thoughts she didn't even notice he had moved or that he was even talking to her.

"We're going to meet up with the beast. Now come!"

Arcee walks over to Megatron and they both walk off the bridge and head to the upper haul of the ship to meet up with the Predacon. They get to the upper haul just as the Predacon flies in and lands, he waits patiently for Megatron to reach him and take his prize. As soon as Megatron reaches him he takes the Predacon fossil and examines it, "Ah, you performed well my pet," he says as he starts petting the Predacon. "This will be a splendid contribution to the spawning of your Predacon brethren."

Just then, Knock Out walks up to Megatron, "My liege, we've located another one of Shockwave's Predacon energy signatures, weak but steady."

Scrap, they found another one. Hope you guys are keeping track as well as they are.

"Excellent. Knock Out," Megatron turns to face the mech, "do not return empty-handed."

"Moi? Don't know the meaning of the word."
