Chapter 3 : We meet.

The cybertronian sky was becoming more and more darker, revealing the beauty of the cosmos as two being was sitting down, a slender light purple and white being was held close to a bigger being. In front of them, a sparkling was playing with a toy that looks like a lion with six paw and two horn. Then a red sparkling, barely bigger than her, came and tried to take the toy, the little pink one give him a punch on his stomach before throwing another one to his jaw, making him run. "That's my fille." said the bigger one. "Come on Grim, don't encouraged her. It's late, we better go back home…." the femme didn't have time to finish her sentence, a bigger femme, colored in green and purple came to her, exhausted. "Arianna, Grimlock, I don't have enough time to explain, but please trust me and flee to the north, we're in war." "What ? a war ? I better go see my brother, go with Alina my dear, I will join with Swoop as fast as possible." And then he run. " "See you soon." and the femme run in the other direction.

3 days later, she had found a safety place in the Bio-garden. She was resting in her back, her sparkling on her stomach. "Did you hear that ?" "Hear what ?" the sparkling run outside of their tent, running straight to a blue femme. " Hey, sparkling, what are you doing alone here ?" "I am not alone…" "Come here, I will get you out to safety." "DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH HER !" and Arianna jump on the blue femme, punching her on the jaw. 'Purple and white femme, in the Bio-garden, it has to be my target.' tought Arcee. She kick Arianna on the head, making fly away of her. Then she activated her gun. " Ilayla, you will die for all the Bot's you killed." "What ?" "NO !" and Arcee fired… energon was flowing on the ground. "ALINA !" Arianna take her sparkling in her arm. Grimlock arrived at the same time. "Alina !" he kneeled down beside Arianna, the he looked at the blue femme, "Arcee ? Arcee what have you done…" "Grimlock, I'm, I'm sorr…" The mech stood in flash, giving a hard blow on Arcee's chest, sending her flying. "GET OUT OF HERE ! Before I kill you !"

Grimlock shaked his head. "I will not let this happened again." And he run faster, booster on.

"Wait, so Arcee killed the daughter of Airachnid ?" shouted Miko.

Everyone turn to the blue 2 wheels. She was ashamed...And she didn't even get a chance to talk as Ratchet did it first.

"And she never had a punishment nor facing any kind of consequences...Hun Prime ?" the medic said, harshly.

" I wasn't in command at the time, to be honest, when I heard about that, event, Tailgate was killed. I thought that his was enough for her…" Optimus looked directly at Arcee, "Even if sometimes you make doubt that."

Bee came in the middle of the group, beeping desperately "But that's the past now, we have to take care of the present, and the present is having a huge and angry Grimlock running to Jasper !"

"Come on, Autobots, roll out !"

Arcee and Jack was way ahead of the team, Jack had some difficulties to stay still, but didn't say anything at Arcee, he wasn't mad, but his brain was fuming with a lot of questions, questions that he wasn't sure had answers. Arcee had a lot in her mind, but there were answers. That didn't match Jack's questions. So, instead of talking, they stay silent, letting the "move" talk for them. Until Jack grip the bar harder. She make a sharp turn, parking on an alley, behind a restaurant. She transformed, and look directly at Jack, their eyes meeting, connecting.

"I know, I know." she just said.

"So why are you so insecure ?" he replied.

"It's not that simple Jack, and even if I love the idea, it can't be just the two of us right now."

"Arcee, I know that,but, for the first time in my life, I don't want to fight." And before she talk, he add, "'Cause let's face it, Miko will drag Bulk along with her against you, then Ralph will explode when you stood up in front of them, and Bee will try to calm things down maybe, but don't count on it…."

"Ok, I get the idea."

"NO ! We have moved on,it's not our average Decepticon problem. By the look of it, I get that it's the first time team Prime is having that kind of secret discovered, meaning you don't know how to react to it, meaning…"

" Sooner or later, we will explode, not knowing how to blame me, and if I can face forgiveness. What do we do Jack ?"

"Well at one point you're right, we can't flee like this…"

"Tell me you have a plan partner."

"Not enough time to have one, but I know someone who always have one for those kind of problem."

"June."

"Exactly." Jack put on his helmet, "But for know, let's find Grimlock."

Arcee transforme back and speed away as soon as Jack climb on her.

"Why did you open that topic back then Miko ?"

"What are you talking about Bulk ?" she said, staring outside, anger rising, tough she didn't know why.

"You shouldn't had arouse that part of Prime's story. And you know it."

"But Bulk ! She killed…"

"Stop it Miko, it doesn't concern us. This, is between Arcee and Grimlock."

"Yeah…."

Airachnid was flying, rather slowly, she was feeling nervous, true, it wasn't the first time she would run into Grimlock, but today was different, she was expecting to find her long lost love...Yes, she was plotting to make the Dinobot turn his back to team Prime, but deep down, feelings was here, and it was becoming harder to ignore it. How Grimlock will react now ? She hope to have a right to a warm reunion with him.

"My head...where am I ?"

"Hello Clara. Had a nice sleep ?"

"YOU ? Where's my daughter ? Arianna !"

"Oh come on, you will be free, in time, but keep being annoying and I will change my mind." Airachnid said, before landing. "Get out, but just try to flee." And she transform. Just as she was stretching her limbs, a blue bike that she know too well was approaching her. "Didn't expect you this early Arcee."

"Airachnid. Let them go. Now." Arcee said, gun out, pointing to the spider femme.

"I really don't have time for this….You too, go with them, you're free."

Arcee and Jack was taken by surprise, Airachnid, the bloodthirsty Airachnid, let her prey free.

"Now, come with us. We have what you want." said Jack.

"Really ?" Airachnid said, with a wild grin.

Just then, Grimlock arrive, breathing fire.

"YOU !"

For one moment, Airachnid feared the worst, but at the very last moment, Grimlock transfrom and take her in his arm, holding her tightly.

"I missed you." whispered Airachnid.

"Airachnid, Grimlock you two should com…" begin Optimus, who just arrived with the rest of the team. But they all starred, wide optics and eyes, at Airachnid, crying softly.

"I'm so sorry for what happens back at Cybertron, I deeply regret that I hurted you. Please forgive…"

"It's okay dear. It was war. Deep down, I had and I still do, that you care for me, and so am I for you."

"I don't care. I still love you...so much…" she said, surprising herself.

"What do we do boss ?" asked the Wrecker.

"Bumblebee, take Clara and her daughter to June. Autobots, roll out, even you Arcee." commanded Optimus.

"I think that it would be better if I go with Bumblebee right ?" asked concern Jack.

"NO ! Rest with me please, I need you." reply Arcee.

"Indeed, she will really need you Jack…" said, sadness in his voice, Optimus.

And they roll out, leaving Grimlock and Airachnid alone.

"I remember, I didn't tell them, but I remember all now."

"Our Alina, may the Allspark gives her a peaceful afterlife." reply Airachnid.

"We should avenge her. Ending this war for once and for all." said Grimlock, clenching his left fist.

"But for now, let's just rest, we have catch up to do." Airachnid said, softly.

They walk, until they heard some metallic voice shouting. Grimlock look at Airachnid, before walking away, "Stop, let me first." Airachnid winked at him and walk fast to the sound. And she was right, it was the Decepticon, Breakdown was leading a small group of drones. But in the middle of that noisy and disrupted obscure operation, there was a small group of humans, with a tiny girl. "Alina !" shouted the femme, and the little girl shouted back "Mommy ?" the toddler was a brunette with a pale skin and had amber eyes. Her noises told Breakdown that something was going on, suddenly he receive a hard kick on the back of his head.

"Airachnid, 'got some nerves to come here, after what you did."

"This time I'm in a better company."

"Don't make me laugh crazy lost, how does human say ? Oh yeah, 'slut'"

"NO ONE DISRESPECT MY AIRACHNID !" And Grimlock jump down to them. before slowly walking to Breakdown.

"Shoot the humans." said desperately Breakdown, thinking that this would stop Grimlock. But he just kick the ground hard, before transforming and breathing fire to the drones. Those who survive didn't wait any orders and flee. Leaving their 'leader' alone.

"Let the little one to me." said Airachnid

"All of this just for, that ?"

"Now !"

"Ok, ok, take it" and he throw the toddler in the air. She was softly catch by Airachnid, luckily, the girl just had a scorch mark on her left arm. And she began to cry, loudly.

"It's not finished, scum deserter" said Breakdown, before being catch and lifted by Grimlock.

"Say hi to Megatron for me." and he throw Breakdown away.

This, made the girl laugh.

"Alina. Thank you Primus." said Airachnid as she stroke softly the face of Alina. "Hi there, it's me, mommy as you said it."

Grimlock came, and bring Airachnid closer to him with his right arm.

"Hello Alina." he said, with softness.

"And this, his your father."

As team Prime was driving towards the base, something catch the attention of Bulk. He make a sharp turn and follow, something. When he finally arrived, he was in front of a huge Cybertronian body. That suddenly rise up.

"GRIMLOCK ! Your brother is here."

Thank you, for reading this, yes I'm back, I'm really sorry for the very long time, but I wasn't very, proud and happy with my first work so I decided to take a step back and rework all of this fiction. I had taken maturity and all and now, that's how I really want my story to be, I'm very excited to show you the rest, and I really hope that you will be patient, and still be there cause now, now I can say that I'm proud, now I can say, this is Rise of the Dinobots.

See ya.
