Megatron turned to see the two when they walked in through the groundbridge and growled at them, "So the gang is almost back together."
"Megatron, your tyranny ends here" Orion said as he drew his weapons.
"Be careful with those Orion, you don't want to accidentally hurt any of your comrades," Megatron taunted.
"The only one I'll be hurting is you" Orion said as he charged the war lord. Megatron blocked the mech's attack, surprised when he started to fight so well.
The fight went on for a bit until Orion went down, Megatron then got ready to go for the kill when Wheeljack appeared and attacked the war lord. Sliding back Megatron glared at the Wrecker as the white mech stood protectively in front of Orion and Arcee. The two then got into a fight as Jack came over to Orion with the Matrix. Orion looked down at the boy, "Are you sure I'm worthy of it?"
Jack nodded as he held up the Matrix card closer to Optimus' chest and his chest plates opened up, then the Matrix started going into his chest.
Megatron and Wheeljack were still fighting and Megatron started to get the upper hand, he is determined to get Wheeljack out of the way, "I'm gonna get you out of my way once and for all" he said as he threw him into the wall, he then threw a hard punch into the mech's abdomen then stepped back letting him fall to the floor. Arcee looked between them and Optimus hoping that Megatron wouldn't catch on too soon before the Matrix completes transferring into his chest. She then looked over and saw Megatron getting ready to kill Wheeljack and she decided to intervene.
Arcee runs over and gets between the two, "Don't you dare touch him! I won't let you kill him!"
Megatron glared at her, "Arcee, m-" he stopped when saw something out of the corner of his optic, he looked and saw Jack giving the Matrix to Optimus. He then dismissed the thought of killing Wheeljack for the time being as he ran over to the pair to stop them. But he was too late, the Matrix had finished transferring into Optimus and he was his old, Prime self again. Megatron tried to throw a punch but Optimus stopped him. Optimus then proceeding to punching him, one punch after another until he finally gives a big blow which sends him flying backwards into a wall then falls to the ground.
Wheeljack looked up and saw this and saw that Arcee was right next to him and he saw this as his opportunity to get her back, and he's not gonna delay or make any mistakes. He gets up and grabs Arcee's arm and runs over to where the others are. The other Autobots got into fighting stances as Megatron started getting up, the bots put Arcee behind them to keep Megatron from getting her, there is no way they're gonna let him take her away again.
Megatron looks at them and sees this, "Hand her over. She's my mate and she belongs to me, so hand her over!"
"No way buckethead, both her and Optimus is coming with us" Bulkhead tells him as a groundbridge opens up. Wheeljack grabbed Arcee and ran through the portal back to base, followed by all the others. Megatron ran over but the portal closed up. He let out an enraged growl then called for a groundbridge and went back to the ship.
Once Megatron got back to the ship he went on a hunt for Knockout, finding him in med-bay, "Knockout!"
Knockout quickly turned around to face him, "Y-yes Lord Megatron"
"What happened!? Arcee was supposed to be in here recovering! But I saw her out there with Orion and the Autobots got her!"
"I don't know, I was out of med-bay seeing to something and when I got back she was gone"
Megatron growled as he scraped his pointy digits across Knockout's chest, leaving a deep, long cut. He then grabbed him by the throat and slammed him against a wall, "You better fix this and get her back for me"
Knockout looked with wide optics as he was being held by his throat, "Yes.. My.. Lord.." he was then thrown down to the floor. He watched as Megatron walked out of med-bay, I better think of a way to get her back, and fast. He thought as he got up, he then went to get his buffer and with Breakdown's help he buffed out the scratch Megatron left.
At Autobot base the bots and the humans were cheering and celebrating that Optimus and Arcee were back with them, when Arcee started grabbing at her chest and fell over. Wheeljack caught her in time before she hit the floor. They all then gasped in horror as they remembered the curse and that they needed to break it fast or Arcee would die.
"Quick get her into med-bay!" Ratchet tells Wheeljack as he goes to find some pure energon. Wheeljack nods as he runs to med-bay, he then lays her down on the berth.
Arcee looks up at him, "Wheeljack, it hurts.."
"I know, don't worry we'll take care of this and make you as good as new. Just hang on"
Ratchet runs in with the energon and he starts hooking her up to a couple of machines. He then checks the one with her stats, "Oh Primus, it's killing her faster than I expected"
Wheeljack looked at the doc then back to Arcee, Primus don't let her die, I don't want to lose her.
Ratchet quickly started putting the pure energon into her. Arcee then started crying out in pain as she grabbed at her chest, the pain was worse than it had ever been, "Breaking the curse is more painful than the curse itself. But don't worry we'll pull you through this" Ratchet tells her in a comforting tone. He then looked at Wheeljack, "Quickly take her to her quarters and spark bond with her"
With a nod Wheeljack picked up Arcee and carried her to her quarters. Once they were in the room he placed her down on the berth and closed the door. He then got into the berth with her and started taking off her breastplates and opened up her spark chamber, then he took off his chest armor and opened up his spark chamber. He then got on top of her and put their sparks together causing Arcee to scream out in pain, "I know it hurts, but you'll be ok. I promise" he tells her as he rubs her cheek and grips her hand in his, At last I'm making her my mate, and no other mech is going to take her from me again. Especially not Megatron, he'll never get her again.
"I l-love you W-wheeljack" Arcee manages to say as she wraps her arms around his neck.
"I love you too Arcee" Wheeljack says as he holds her tightly. Then Arcee passed out and Wheeljack started to worry thinking she died but then he realized she was still alive and was just passed out from all the pain and most likely from exhaustion, no doubt she was exhausted from everything that was going on. He closed his optics and just felt out her spark, feeling the life and beauty that was in her. The curse was at last broken and the two of them could finally live their lives together as spark mates.
On the Nemesis Megatron was in the main control room going over stuff when he suddenly felt a pain in his spark which caused him to grab at his chest and fall to one knee. Knockout and Breakdown ran over to his side, as well as Soundwave, "My lord, what's wrong?" Knockout asked.
"The curse.. It's been broken. They broke the curse!" he replied, punching the floor as he said the last part.
"How can you tell?" Breakdown asked.
"I can feel it in my spark, the connection has been broken therefore they broke the curse"
"Well it's no surprise, no doubt Ratchet knows just as much about the curse as we do so they would break it" Knockouts says as he tries to help the war lord to his feet. Megatron just snarled as he stood up, causing Knockout to flinch.
Wheeljack is still laying in the berth with Arcee, watching her as she sleeps. The door then opened and Ratchet came into the room, he walks over to the two and checks over Arcee. He inspects her spark and vital signs, "The curse is fully broken and she's still alive. With some much needed rest and plenty of pure energon she'll make a full recovery soon" he then announces.
"Thank Primus. Thank you doc" Wheeljack says as he closes Arcee's spark chamber and puts her breastplates back on, then closed up his own and put his chest armor back on. Ratchet just nods as he walks out of the room. Usually he would scold Wheeljack for calling him doc but he didn't see the time fit to scold him.
After he left Bulkhead came in, "Hey Jacky. How's she doing?"
"Hey Bulkhead. She's going to be just fine" Wheeljack replied as he took Arcee into his arms and held her tightly.
"So your gonna stay now, right?"
"Of course. I'm not leaving her side again. I can't leave her side, I can't let her out of my sight. I'm gonna stay with her"
"I figured as much. I'm happy we were able to get her back, and I'm double happy you were able to spark bond with her. I know it was hard for you"
"Yeah.."
"I'll let you two get some rest. I'll be back later" Bulkhead said as he walked out. Wheeljack just watched him leave before he looked at Arcee.
Arcee then woke up and looked at him, the pain in her spark was gone now and she felt nothing but warmness and love. She smiled at him, "Hey"
"Hey. How you feeling?"
"Much better. Thank you for doing all this and saving my life"
"Of course. I wasn't gonna let you die or let that tyrant keep you"
Arcee just smiled as she nuzzled her head into his neck, "I'm so happy we're bond mates now. I love you so much"
"I'm very happy too. I love you too with all my spark and being" he said as he went in for a kiss. The two kissed passionately until the door opened, they then broke the kiss and looked to see who it was and saw Jack. Normally Wheeljack would say something and have a fit for being interrupted but in this case he let it slide.
Jack walks into the room, "Hey Arcee" he said with a smile.
Arcee smiled back, "Hey Jack"
"So it worked? The curse is now broken and your gonna be alright?"
"Yes. It worked, the curse is now broken and I'm gonna be just fine"
"Thank goodness, I'm glad you're still alive and your gonna be ok"
The three then went on having a conversation and Jack and Wheeljack told her about their adventures and time together and Arcee felt thankful to Wheeljack for looking after Jack and doing the stuff she usually did, though she did feel a bit upset with Wheeljack when she heard how Wheeljack put Jack's life in danger but she quickly got over it. She was just happy to be with her team again and to be spark mates with Wheeljack.
