Part 8

  Knockout walked into the control room and was met with Airachnid, "Airachnid," he said smoothly, "have you and our new guests been acquainted?"
"If you're referring to my ex partner, Spite, then yes," Airachnid sighed, trying to hide the bitterness.
"Well, would you be able to tell me where she's run off too?" Knockout smiled, his last encounter with her had been feisty, at the time it may have shocked him, however now he was growing to like it...
"I don't think we will be seeing them again," Airachnid said as she walked passed Knockout,
"What!?" Knockout called with a hint of both anger and sadness,
"Autobot bait," Airachnid replied, cackling to herself as she wandered off,
Knockout was horrified, "Spite," he whispered to himself, "surely not..." because of Spites reputation, he knew she was tougher than she had lead on, if she had been captured, she was at least still alive...
Malice emerged from the operating room after what felt like eons, her frame was glistening with spilt energon and she was exhausted, the Autobots looked towards  her and Optimus expectantly,
"He will pull through, just monitor his energon over the next few cycles and make sure he gets plenty of rest," Malice's statement was met with sighs of relief from the Autobots, but an unsatisfied grunt came from Spite, "I've done all I can do," Malice walked over to Spite and waited for one of the Autobots to hand her the keys to her partners stasis cuffs.
Optimus looked to Arcee expectantly, but she didn't move, "what if something happens? What if we need you again?"
"He's in an induced power down, providing nothing startles him and he allows himself to recover, you won't need me," Malice said as she revealed some surgical tools from her servos once more,
"How can you be so sure?" Arcee argued, wondering what Malice was about to do,
"Because I'm that good," Malice snapped back as she cut open the stasis cuffs in one swift movement and watched Spite jump to her feet and begin parading around the base, using the wheels in her lower legs.
"I understand me and my partner are free to leave?" Malice frowned at Optimus who nodded solemnly and activated the ground bridge to the co ordinates on the Adversary, when the portal opened, Spite was the first to go through,
"I'm not going to miss you!" she called as she sped through the portal and vanished,
Malice was taking slower steps until she was stopped by the sound of Optimus' voice, "What should I tell Ratchet?"
Malice felt the tears fall from her optics before she turned to face him, "tell him, I'm sorry," Malice then alt formed and sped through the ground bridge, following her partner.

"What was that about?" Arcee asked curiously as the Autobots turned to Optimus,
"It's not our concern," Optimus replied coldly as he decided to return to his injured friend in the med bay.

Spite waited for Malice to pull up alongside her and the ground bridge to close behind them,
"Looks like the place has been cleared out," Spite said as she walked through the control room of the Adversary,
"Yeah," Malice said as she turned her head to the secret compartment where she had hidden a stash of Cybertronian supplies, it would appear she had successfully hidden them.
"I thought I'd find you two here," the soothing voice of Knockout appeared at the door, "been hiding from me?" he asked curiously, wondering what Airachnid had meant by her comments about Spite being captured by the Autobots.
"Knockout," Spite said excitedly, "come to our rescue at last?"
"You could say that," Knockout winked at Spite and noticed Malice roll her optics at the gesture, "send the ground bridge, they're here now," Knockout had already transported Breakdown back safely and left him on ground bridge control.
"I trust they found everything they needed?" Malice asked in a stern voice, referring to the emptiness of their ship.
"Everything on board is Decepticon property, my dear," Knockout slid his arm around Spites waist, she didn't fight back to Malice's surprise, "it belongs to Megatron," Knockout turned to the sound of the ground bridge and escorted Spite through. Malice reluctantly followed, there would be a chance for her to return when she was alone.

"Congratulations, Spite," Airachnid said sarcastically as she saw Spite emerge from the ground bridge with Knockout, "you escaped by yourself?"
"Well with no thanks to you," Spite then turned to see Malice walking behind,
"Airachnid," Malice nodded in her direction before storming off to one side,
"She'll be fine," Spite said as she smiled at Knockout, "I have a job for you, doctor, I think it will suit your talents,"
"What might that be?" Knockout asked sounding both curious and excited,
Spite raised her damaged arm to his face, "I don't suppose you could..."
"It would be my pleasure," Knockout purred as he walked himself and Spite from the room.
Malice watched closely at how Breakdown was operating the ground bridge, trying to remember the co-ordinates should she return to the Adversary...

"He's waking up!" Raf called excitedly as he heard a few goans escape from Ratchets mouth and watched as his arms shuffled on the berth.
"Ratchet," Optimus had popped out head around the corner to see if it were true, his smile faded when he saw Ratchet attempt to stand up which ended in him falling back onto the berth.
Optimus approached him and sighed.
"What happened?" Ratchet asked as he looked tearily into Optimus' optics,
"We almost lost our medic," Optimus said in a tern voice, "try to rest," he said as he tapped a hand against Ratchets shoulder,
"Optimus," Ratchet asked in a hushed whisper, "was Malice here?" Ratchets optics darted up to Optimus' own, "she was, wasn't she?" Ratchet pleaded for an answer from his friend but he was met with a sigh,
"She saved your life," Optimus said before he disappeared into the bases main compartment,
Ratchet stared blankly  at the floor in front of him, until he saw Raf shuffle towards him,
"I don't know what happened," Raf said sadly, "but I'm glad you're okay," Raf looked up to his face with a sad smile,
Ratchet tried to force a smile back but couldn't instead he hung his head low and sighed again.
'Malice' he whispered...
