HASBRO. A/N: ...Don't ask...bad nightmare...plus me being evil...may not finish at
all... _____________________________________________________________ Leona smiled as she sat back and watched her son play with his father. She
leaned against the wall and then sighed contently, spark fluttering with
happiness. Her son wasn’t but a month old, but he was old enough to know who his
mother and father were and that gave the young femme happiness. That and seeing
her mate and sparkling playing with each other considering her mate was always
off on Predacon business and rarely had time to spend with her and their
sparkling. “Hey, there’s mommy. Go see mommy.” The mech said, moving the sparkling so he
could see his mother, “Wanna go see mommy?” He asked, bouncing the sparkling on
his shoulders. “Hmm?” The sparkling giggled. He reached for his mother and that melted Leona’s
spark. She walked over to him and took him from her mate. “Hey there…” She said
softly, tickling him. The femme looked at her mate, who chuckled when the
sparkling in Leona’s arms giggled and grabbed his mother’s fingers. “You’re a
smart boy, ya know that?” Leona asked, giving her son butterfly kisses she had
learned from her trips to Earth. “He gets it from me.” The mech grinned. “Please! You?” Leona giggled, “He gets it from his mother. I’m the
hacker, remember? Able to bypass any system in 2.346 Earth seconds flat.” She
stated proudly. “And you said he gets it from you…” She chuckled, shaking her
head. “Well…he gets his boyish looks from me.” Her mate shot back. “Can’t argue with that.” Leona shrugged, but then smiled as her mate grinned,
“He can’t get his looks from me because I’m a girl, so you’re the only person he
can…unless he got it from my father…” Her mate shot her a look. “Just kidding!” Leona giggled. “Oh really? I’ll show you just kidding!” He said, smiling. The mech started
to run back into the house, “You’re gonna get it!” “Oh Primus!” Leona chuckled, running after him. Megatron’s voice’s sudden appearance over the Darkside’s intercoms
made the fuzor jump, but she calmed down once she realized it was only the grape
faced leader. “All Predacons report to the control room! Now!” He sounded
nervous…worried, almost. That made Leona even more nervous. She readied her wing
missiles, but stopped when Megatron gasped. “No! Stay away from me, you hear? I
am your master!” A new voice was heard along with sadist laughter. “Looking for…this,
oh Mighty Megatron?” The voice teased, chuckling darkly, “You are my master
no more! You…had this coming to you, Megatron…the moment you thought you
could control me. ME!” Megatron let out a growl. Scuffling and laser fire was heard along with
grunts from both mechs over the intercom systems and then a huge cannon blast
was heard. Megatron was silenced. The second voice laughed manically. “Come out
to play, little Predacons…” The voice sang, full of glee, “We’re going to have
lots of fun…well, I am…the game is set. Begin.” At the last word, the voice
darkened and then the intercom was shut off. Leona was in shock. Her optics widened and she swallowed. That was Rampage!
He had done as she said and taken his spark back by killing Megatron…or at least
knocking him unconscious…no…he found his spark first and then killed the
Predacon leader. “Oh Primus what’ve I done?” She whispered, “I released a
monster from his chains…and those bonds were the only things that were keeping
us alive!” With that, the fuzor fired her wing missiles at the door, which
blasted them wide open. Leona stepped out of her room and looked around. The entire base was dimly
lit. Power hadn’t been cut entirely, but just enough so that Rampage could trap
them in their rooms…oh if he thought that she was going to play ‘damsel in
distress’ in her room and wait to die, that crab had another thing coming. The
fuzor cut on her optics and then looked around. She ruffled her wings, but froze
when they hit something. Before she could react, a hand was around her
mouth. “Quiet! It’s me, you fool!” Tarantulas’s voice hissed. “Keep quiet, you hear?
If Rampage find us before we find the others…we won’t survive!” He sounded a bit
worried. Leona freed herself and turned around. She glared at Tarantulas and growled a
bit, folding her arms. “Tarantulas! Don’t you ever scare me like that
again! ….Oh who am I kidding? You’re gonna scare me no matter what you do.” She
rolled her green optics and then flew into the air. The spider narrowed his optics, but said nothing. He growled and warning and
started to say something, but a high-pitched scream could be heard. The two
Predacons looked at each other and Leona gasped. “Oh no! That was Waspy!” She
said, flapping her wings a bit faster. However, just as she was about to fly
off, Tarantulas grabbed her ankle. “Lemme go! We have to help him!” “It’s too late for him now!” Tarantulas said, holding on tighter, “Even if it
isn’t, you’ll die trying to save him from Rampage! We can’t defeat that crab on
our own, you know that! And I’m not even going to try…but if you die, then I’m
gonna be stuck here alone until ant and fuzor get back from finding the Energon
source…and I won’t last long!” “Stop thinking about yourself for once, spider!” Leona hissed, optics
flashing dangerously. She kicked him away and the fur on her entire body stood
up strait. She flew towards the scream, spark thudding in her chest as she
flapped her black raven wings as fast as they would go. She cleared her mind as
she flew. She knew that the only way that Rampage, being an empath, could find
her is if he sensed her emotions, which he couldn’t do if her mind was blank.
However, it was hard to keep her mind clear when she was so worried about her
friends. The fuzor eventually stopped flying and landed, panting heavily. As she
walked, her bird talons tapped on the metal floor, making a sound like rain on a
tin roof, peaceful, yet a warning of the coming storm. Leona paused upon hearing
whimpering coming from a nearby room. Her cat ear twitched and she walked over
to the door. “Someone in there?” She asked quietly, tapping the door with her
claws. Her only answer was a frightened whimper and the sound of weak movement.
That, though, was all she needed to hear. The fuzor armed her wing missiles and
aimed them at the door. “I’m coming in! Back away from the door!” Leona yelled,
firing her missiles. The door blew wide open and Leona stepped through them into
the dark room. She felt something hot hit her wing and hissed, but calmed down
when she saw it was only sparks from the light above, which had been destroyed
by a big fist. That made the femme swallowed. Lowering her gaze, she saw Waspinator on the floor. He was lying in a puddle
of mech fluid and Energon, his probably, and his wings were pinned to the floor
by a pair of Energon daggers. His beast mode eyes, which were on his chest, were
smashed in and bleeding badly while his optics were flickering dangerously. His
left cheek was almost fully smashed in like someone had punched him and he was
gripping his stinger gun in his hand like a lifeline. Leona noticed it was out
of power, so it was useless to her and him. Waspinator buzzed weakly. “Oh Waspy…what’ve I done?” Leona whispered, asking herself the same question
she had asked herself earlier. “Why did I help him?” She bent down next to the
mech, who whimpered and tried to get away. The fuzor put a hand on Waspinator’s
forehead and smiled softly as his optics clicked on. “Easy, Waspy…it’s me.
Rampage isn’t here…don’t worry…” She said softly, pulling the nails out of his
wings. Waspinator buzzed, his voice full of pain. “Fuzor Femme?” He managed before
arching his back in pain when Leona pulled the weapons out of his wings. His
optics flickered and then stopped. “That you? Where’d Crabbot go?” “I don’t know, Waspy…all I know is that we have to find the others and
then find some way to protect ourselves.” Leona said softly as she helped
Waspinator stand up. However, she ended up making him lean against her as they
started to leave. The fuzor swallowed and then narrowed her optics, looking
away. "This is all my fault…" She thought, "I’ll have to be the one to
fix it. Before someone else gets hurt…oh why did I listen to Rampage? …That’s
right…he swore he’d help me get my revenge on Megatron and Terrorsaur…but he
never said that he would hurt the others…though, knowing his tale, I should have
guessed he would…" “Fuzor femme…?” Waspinator asked as he and she turned a corner. He knew
something was wrong by the look in her optics. “Fuzor femme okay?” “Hmm?” Leona looked over at him. She saw an innocence in his optics that she
only saw in sparklings. Her optics softened and she nodded, “I’m okay,
Waspy…just tell me if you hear or see something, okay? I don’t want Rampage to
take us by surprise…” The fuzor instructed. She looked away and came to a
decision. She wasn’t going to let another psycho take away an innocent life
before its time. Leona was going to stop Rampage. “Fuzor femme…” Waspinator whispered. His optics were filled with fright,
“Wazzpinator heard zzomething…Wazzpinator thinkzz it’zz crabbot…only crabbot’s
beazzt mode make that noizze when he walkzz…” He buzzed nervously. Leona looked around, readying her wing missiles. She was just about to fire
when she realized she recognized the scent. Her nose twitched and she lowered
her wings. “Easy, Waspy. It’s just BlackArachnia.” She said, looking up at the
ceiling, where the she spider clinging to it. “Hey, BA.” “Leona.” BlackArachnia nodded, transforming. She landed in front of the two
and then glanced at them. “The crab got to Waspy, huh?” She said, stating the
obvious. The she spider sighed and then looked at the wasp. “He got him
bad…” “I know…” Leona nodded. “How’d you get out of your room?” She asked,
blinking. The fuzor looked at them and then at the spider. BlackArachnia smiled, “I was doing a favor for Tarantulas when the power went
off. I wasn’t anywhere near my room at that time.” She then frowned, “Where is
that crab?” She asked, looking around. “I don’t know and I don’t wanna know.” Leona muttered, shaking her head. She
looked at Waspinator, who buzzed nervously, and then looked at BlackArachnia,
optics widened slightly, “I can smell Rampage nearby…we gotta move…” It was just then Rampage’s voice laughed, “Run, run, run as fast as you
can…you can’t escaped me forever, you know…soon, I’ll get you all…and your
sparks shall be mine…” He chuckled darkly. Waspinator’s optics widened with fear and he looked around, buzzing nervously
and loudly. His head shot back and forth while his optics darted from side to
side. He swallowed, “Crabbot’zz gonna kill uzz, fuzor femme and zzpider bot!” He
said, looking at the two with scared optics. Leona snarled, “No. He won’t, Waspy. Don’t worry. I’ll make sure he won’t…”
She looked at them and swallowed, “I cause this…I’ll finish it…it’s all my fault
that he did this…” “What do you mean?” BlackArachnia asked, arming her leg guns. She looked
around and then at Leona. “…I…told Rampage what to do…and how to find his spark…” Leona admitted, “He
swore he wouldn’t hurt anyone other than Megatron and Terrorsaur…and he told me
I could deal with Terrorsaur…my need for vengeance for my son made me so
naive…I’m sorry…I released this monster and I’m going to stop him…” She sighed
and then looked at them, “I’m sorry…” The two were surprised, but both knew where she was coming from. They didn’t
get mad at her at all. Both nodded, “It’s alright…” BlackArachnia sighed, “I
wanted to get rid of that megalomaniac too, but you did it a stupid
way…however…I can’t blame you that much…Rampage told you all he wanted you to
hear…he’s a crazy murderous psycho who’ll do anything to get what he wants…” “I know.” Leona sighed. Waspinator buzzed nervously again, “How Fuzor Femme going to stop crabbot?
How? Fuzor Femme can’t expect to attack crabbot by herzzlef and live…” He
trailed off and his wings twitched once. The wasp swallowed. “Wazzpinator not
want Wazzpinator’zz friendzz to get torn to pieces…” “Don’t worry, Waspy.” Leona said, looking at him. “I won’t let him kill me…”
She trailed off and then sighed, but smiled, “And even if he does, it’ll be a
long awaited rest from the trials and tribulations of this world…and I get to
see my son and mate again…” She sighed. “Come on…we need a plan…” “We need to find Tarantulas and Terrorsaur…” BlackArachnia said, looking at
the two. She wasn’t really concerned for the male spider and the flyer, but she
knew that them three, two femmes and an injured wasp, couldn’t defeat Rampage
alone. They would only prolong their deaths if they tried. “Where do you think
they are?” A scream was heard and Leona looked at the two younger bots. “My guess is
that way.” She sighed, looking at the two. “I’m guessin’ it’s a good shot.” BlackArachnia nodded, running off towards
the scream with Leona and Waspinator, who had been thrown onto Leona’s back once
the femme had transformed into beast mode, following close behind. She stopped
once she reached an entranceway that had been blasted in by a cannon. The doors
were smoking, melted and the edged off the opening were sharp enough to cut a
Transformer through…which it had. On one of the edges, Terrorsaur’s body laid, stabbed through the spark. His
face was so twisted into a face of pure horror and pain that it was almost
unrecognizable. His hands were curled around a makeshift spear made of one of
Rampage’s crab legs and his were impaled by another two edges. One of his legs
was bent at the knee, however his leg was bent the way that no leg should ever
be. His throat had a huge gash in it and a puddle of mech fluid was around his
body and on both sides of the door. The two femmes and the wasp gasped. BlackArachnia looked away and Waspinator
almost fainted. Leona’s optics were wide. She couldn’t help but whisper, “I was
supposed to kill him…” No sooner was it out of her mouth than she gasped softly
and closed her mouth. “I didn’t mean that…I…let’s find Tarantulas and get out of
here…” She said quickly. Both BlackArachnia and Waspinator were shocked at the femme’s whispered
announcement, but said nothing. They decided not to bring it up. BlackArachnia
sighed and then cocked her machine guns as she looked around. “Let’s go…Leona,
can ya track that crab…only use your nose to keep us away from him?” “That, I can do.” Leona confirmed. She extended her black wings and sniffed.
The two femmes had already transformed into robot mode before they got to
Terrorsaur’s room incase they had to hurry up and fight. “Waspy, lean on me.
BlackArachnia, follow me. I’ll find Tarantulas and then get us out of here…or
try…” She said, looking at them. “Come on…” Waspinator buzzed nervously. He limped beside the femme as BlackArachnia
followed, ready to fire at anything that moved. She yelled and then spun around
quickly, firing at the dark corner. “Wh-Who’s there?” She asked timidly,
stopping her firing once she was sure she had hit something by the grunts she
heard. “Come out or I’ll fire again…” Leona, who had laid Waspinator on the ground and hurried to her friend’s
side, stuck her nose into the air and sniffed deeply. She lowered her wings,
which she had readied to fire, and let out a deep sigh. “Easy, BlackArachnia,
it’s just Tarantulas. He’s…bleeding…” “Well duh, I just shot him!” BlackArachnia huffed, but then looked up as the
male spider limped into view. “But I didn’t shoot him that bad! Oh Primus!” Leona started to go over to the mech, but paused upon hearing laughter. She
looked around and loaded her wing missiles. “Rampage!” She yelled, looking up.
He was trying to scare them…he could feed off their emotions, that much she
knew, so he was getting every last emotion he could before killing them…that
monster. “I know you’re there…come out…or we’ll open fire…” Rampage’s voice laughed loudly. “You really think that you can stop me?” He
chuckled, voice dark, as Waspinator whimpered and managed to crawl over to the
femmes. “None of you can and you know it.” His voice then went from dark to an
almost…glee filled voice. “None of you shall leave here alive…you know that…I
know that…however, I shall grant one of you a quick death…you have mere cycles
to decide…” Leona growled and stepped forwards. She fired her wing missiles at every nook
and cranny where the crab could be hiding. The femme growled and looked at the
others. “Listen to me…” She ordered in such a voice that the others looked at
her. She sounded a bit like Megatron when he was pissed, only more of a female
version. “I’m going to find that crab…you guys get the hell out of here, hear
me?” She snapped. “But Wazzpinator can’t leave fuzor femme…” Waspinator buzzed quietly. He
grunted as BlackArachnia and Tarantulas pulled him to his feet gently and looked
at the fuzor as well. “You have no choice.” Leona growled, optics flashing. She looked at the
three, “While we’re hunting each other…you three get out of here…” She ordered,
readying her wing missiles. “This is the only way you three’ll get out of here
alive.” Without another thought, she flew into the air and down the halls,
following her nose. The fuzor was going to keep her promise to her mate and
sparkling, “I won’t let another innocent being die while I breathe…” Waspinator buzzed nervously and Tarantulas looked at the wasp. BlackArachnia
stood tall and then looked at Tarantulas, “Come on…let’s get out of here before
ol’ Crabcakes finishes Leona off and then comes for us…” She said, then realized
what she had murmured. Shaking her head and scolding herself for thinking like
that, though she knew it was true, she looked at the others and motioned for
them to follow her. “I’m not.” Rampage’s voice hissed softly. As Leona jumped, the mech’s red
hand grabbed her wing and tossed her into a wall. “I’m not hiding from you, you
little wench…” He said, his voice a soft whisper. It was creepy, “In fact, you
should be hiding from me…” Leona growled. She extended her wings, but yelped. The one Rampage grabbed
had been pulled out of socket. The fuzor growled and started to aim her one good
wing’s missiles, but yelped as Rampage grabbed it and almost completely ripped
it off of her body. Now it was completely useless. Leona cursed, but it was
choked off when Rampage grabbed her throat and lifted her into the air, kicking
and struggling. Rampage simply chuckled darkly at her attempts to get away.
“Shh…” He said softly, putting his finger to her lips, “It won’t hurt for
long…however, the more you continue to fight me, the more and more painful it
becomes…” Leona hissed as best she could with her air being cut off. She bit Rampage’s
finger. Hard. The fuzor smirked as he growled and pulled it away, shaking it.
“I’m going to fight you until the very last breath is pulled from my body…” She
said, narrowing her optics. “You won’t kill me without a fight…” “Shame…” Rampage sighed, shaking his head, “I was really hoping to avoid
making you suffer, partner.” He hissed the last word, “After all, it was you who
helped me get my spark back…you who, in a way, caused all of these deaths…and
your friends’ pain…” He added the last part darkly and grinned, looking at
her. “No!” Leona hissed once Rampage had let her throat go, but only a little bit,
“I didn’t cause this! You did! You swore you wouldn’t hurt them…and I believed
you…I believe a mass murderer because I thought that he actually would uphold
his end of the bargain…ha!” With that, she hissed and dug her bird’s talons into
Rampage’s chest, savagely clawing and ripping him open. However, before she could deal too much trouble, Rampage threw her against a
wall and watched her slump to the floor. He reached into subspace and pulled out
two nails, looking at Leona. The fuzor went wide optic and tried to scurry away,
but was grabbed around the throat and pinned against the wall. She screamed with
pain as Rampage stabbed her through the wings and left her hanging there. Leona
glared at him and clawed at him savagely whenever he got close enough for her
too. However, that problem was done with easily when Rampage pinned her legs to
the wall by nails through her ankles. She hissed and tried to slash him with her
claws, but Rampage also stuck nails, not only through her shoulders, but through
her wrists and elbows as well. Leona tried not to let them, but hot tears of
pain escaped her optics and rolled down her cheeks. She weakly flexed her talons
and looked at Rampage. “Kill me and get it over with…” Leona whispered softly, looking at him. “Come
on. I’m not afraid of death…you know as well as I do that life is just a
temporary prison and death…death is the release…” She said, looking at him with
lifeless optics. She was ready to die. Rampage snorted. He knew the femme was right…and that she was ready to
die…but giving death to her wasn’t fun. Nope. Not fun at all. So…he was going to
show her exactly how ruthless he could be. He was going to see exactly how far
he could push her before the femme’s spirit was broken. “I know…” He said,
looking at her, “However, though…I don’t get to be released from this prison for
I am immortal…” The crab looked at her and let out a long breath, “However, you
and your friends are not…time to release them from their prison.” Leona’s optics widened. She gasped, “No! Don’t you dare hurt them!” She
yelled, struggling. However, her struggling only made the nails in her body dig
in deeper and cause more pain and bleeding. The fuzor looked at Rampage weakly,
“Please…don’t hurt them…they haven’t done anything to you…” “That’s where your wrong, my dear.” Rampage hissed, emerald optics darkening,
“The spider tested on me…the female ignored me and the wasp…is no help to me at
all.” He said, growling lowly. The crab straitened up. “I’ll be back…with your
friends…and they’ll be alive…” He added before turning around and walking away.
"You'll get to see me rip their sparks out and devour them...time for you to see
the fruits of your labor..." “No! Don’t hurt them! Please! …Please…” Leona whispered, watching him walk
away. She sobbed and then shook her head, “No…you can’t hurt them…” It didn’t
matter how loud or how soft she talked, the mech was too far gone to hear
her…her friends were going to die. A few moments later, a loud clang brought her back to the present. She
jumped, but hissed as it caused her more pain. She looked around and hissed,
“Come on out of there, whoever ya are!” She yelled, looking around. “Now!
Rampage, if that’s you so help me I’ll…” “It’s not him, no…” A cool, familiar voice replied as a mech stepped out of
the shadows. Leona’s optics widened and the purple t-rex covered a gaping hole
in his side, “Surprised to see me alive?” Megatron asked, looking at her, “I bet
you are…” “Megatron!” Leona gasped. She weakly clawed the wall with her talons as the
purple mech walked over to her, “Uh…yeah…I am surprised…I could have sworn
Rampage would have finished you off first…” She said, looking at him. He had a
blood lust in his optics that made her scared. She had to keep talking to stay
alive to save her friends, “Megatron, please…I…I…” Megatron grabbed one of the nails in her ankles and yanked it out. He watched
her gasp and arch her back in pain, but ignored it and pulled the other one out,
only a bit gentler this time. Once the nails were out of her ankles, wings and
arm joints, the femme dropped to the ground and landed in a puddle of her own
Energon and mech fluid. She groaned, but looked up at her savior. Why was he
helping her? Didn’t he know that she had helped Rampage plan this attack? …Oh
she hoped not…but then again… “Get up. We have to find the others before Rampage
does.” Megatron said, looking down at her. Leona decided not to upset him and scrambled to her feet. She looked at him
and swallowed, not nodded. “Yes, Megatron…” She nodded. The fuzor sniffed the
air, “I have their scents…their nearby…but Rampage isn’t…idiots! I told them to
run!” She hissed. Megatron raised an optic ridge, “You sacrificed yourself for them? …How
very…Maximal...of you…” He said, looking down at her. “Perhaps you’re on the
wrong side…” “Screw you, Megatron.” Leona huffed, “It’s my mother instincts, okay?” She
asked, but then looked around. “Follow me…” She tried to fly, but couldn’t. “Was
worth a try…” The femme sighed before running towards the scents. Oh how her
ankles shot bursts of pain up and down her legs every time her feet hit the
ground, but she couldn’t stop. She wouldn’t. She had to save her friends. Megatron watched her run and growled, rolling his optics. He transformed into
flight mode and flew after her. He grabbed the fuzor around the waist and flew
faster, “You direct…but don’t lead me to Rampage or I’ll make sure I’ll do worst
to you than Rampage could ever dream of doing to you…” He growled loudly. Leona nodded. She ignored his threat and pointed down a dimly lit hallway.
“This way, Megatron…hurry! I can smell Rampage and he’s getting close to
them…but not to us…” She added the last part upon seeing his face. The femme
flexed her talons nervously. “Oh come on…we have to hurry…” “I’m going as fast as I can…” Megatron snarled. He looked around and then
skidded to a stop upon seeing writing on a wall that was written in mech fluid.
He read it aloud, “None of you shall escape me alive…I shall find you and devour
your sparks…time for your release from the prison.” He placed Leona down and saw
that the writing was written with a spider’s leg. The mech’s face fell.
“Spider…” “Hmm?” Leona looked over and gasped. It was BlackArachnia’s beast mode leg.
She took a step back and covered her mouth. “No…he couldn’t have gotten to them
already…” The fuzor whimpered, shaking her head slowly. “I was sure that they
were far enough away we could get to them in time…” A hand touched Leona’s shoulder and she screamed, but Megatron quickly
muffled it with his own hand. He looked into the shadows and saw BlackArachnia
and Tarantulas dragging an unconscious Waspinator out of the shadows. Half of
the she spider’s legs were missing and the three looked like they had been in a
rough fight, but they were alive and that was all that mattered. Leona gasped
and hugged all of them. “Oh thank Primus…” She said, but then realized what she
was doing. The Predacon backed away. “Sorry…what happened to you all?” “Rampage, that’s what.” Tarantulas muttered. His fingers and hands twitched,
“He sneaked up on us and almost got us, but we managed to get away…barely…” He
then looked at the writing and sighed, “As you can see, the crab left us a
message.” “In the wasp’s mech fluid and using my leg!” BlackArachnia huffed, twitching
her remaining four or five legs. She saw Leona’s worried face and shoved
Waspinator into her arms, “Here. He’s fine. Or I should really say he’s alive…”
She muttered, looking away. “He took the blunt of the attack…as usual…only this
time, it was Tarantulas’ fault…” “What? I didn’t want to die and the wasp hasn’t died once so far so I figured
he’d survive this one.” The tarantula shrugged. Leona growled, but said nothing. She scoped out everyone’s injuries and then
their shocked faces when Megatron showed himself to be alive. The fuzor shook
her head and then looked around. “…Don’t we have a backdoor around here? I use
it a lot to…” She trailed off and winced at Megatron’s glare. “I went out a lot
when it was nighttime…I had some thinkin’ to do!” Megatron rolled his optics, but said nothing. He looked around and then at
Leona, "I don't remember seeing a...backdoor around here...where exactly would
it be and why is it on here?" He asked, raising an optic ridge. Leona sighed, "The backdoor should be a few hallways down...while the reason
it's here is...you see, I've been in these types of ships once before
and...their model had a fatal flaw with the hatch near where prisoners were
kept. Meant to be used as a means of disposing all sorts of trash in space, I
suppose, but it's certainly big enough for bots to squeeze through...Probably
because the 'trash' jettisioned out into space were the prisoners themselves
most of the time, or stasis pods for the Maximals in case the ship should be
doomed..." She trailed off and then glanced at them. "Problem is...we have to
get to the holding cells alive...and in one piece..." "With our sparks still in our bodies." BlackArachnia finished. She sighed and
her four remaining spider legs drooped. She shook her head and then looked at
the other four Predacons. Megatron took command. He took in a deep breath and ignored the pain in his
side where his gaping wound was. "Then let's move already. Blackarachnia, carry
Waspinator. Leona, sniff and make sure Rampage isn't anywhere near us.
Tarantulas...don't try to get in the way or betray us..." He muttered before
walking towards the holding cells. Blackarachnia went to pick Waspinator up, but Leona simply threw the mech
onto her back gently, "I can carry him, Blackarachnia...we may need you to be
ready for a fight when it comes...I can't use any of my weapons except my
exploading feathers and we'll need those to blow open the shaft when we get to
it." She explained, sniffing the air. "...Alright...I got Rampage's scent. He's
no where near the cells...but he is close. Wipe your mind of all emotions and
hurry...he's an empath." She explained upon seeing Blackarachnia and Tarantulas'
faces, "He can sense emotions...how do you think he's been finding us all this
time? By smelling? He has no sense of smell." The fuzor stated proudly as she
huffed, then followed Megatron towards the holding cells, holding her head up high.
Leona opened her optics and rubbed them, yawning slightly. Yet another dream
about her mate and sparkling…how long were they going to torment her with these
memories of times she could never get back? As she sat up, the lion/raven fuzor
felt warm tears fall down her cheeks. She wiped them away and then got her son’s
necklace the sparkling had made for her. Holding it close to her spark, she
sniffed and then wiped away more tears. After a moment, she stood up and started
to leave her room when she realized the doors wouldn’t open. “Wha’? Oh
dear…something’s wrong…woman’s instincts are tingling…” She muttered.
Leona looked around nervously as she flew, spark thudding in her chest. She
froze stiff when a scent hit her nose and she landed. “Rampage…” The fuzor
