PART 5

"So this is the Nemesis?" Spite said as she surveyed the corridor her and Knockout were parading through, deliberately ignoring any other Decepticons that should try to talk to them.
"You can call it home now, my dear," Knockout grinned.
"Not for long hopefully," Spite trailed off when a door opened beside her and she saw the medical bay, she walked in despite Knockouts attempt to stop her, "so this must be where the great doctor Knockout does his best work?" Spite smiled as she sat on a berth and looked around the room. "It's a mess," she stated in a matter of fact tone she had picked up from Malice, and then she clicked, "where is Mal?"
Knockout was trying to discretely clear up some data pads he had left lying around as he replied; "She stayed with Breakdown," he smiled when he turned and locked the door using the key pad on the inside of the room and turned to Spite with a raised optic ridge, "maybe, my dear, this means you and I can perhaps get better acquainted?"  Knockout began to approach Spite but stopped when she jumped from the berth.
Spite approached him and placed both hands onto his spark chamber and leant into his gaze, "I like it here," she whispered before breaking away from him and approaching the door. Spite attempted to punch in a few codes to unlock it, but failed time and time again, she stopped when she heard Knockout speaking again.
"Where do you think you're going?" Knockout folded his arms and smiled at her failed attempts to free herself from his lair.
"To see what it takes to get a room like this all to myself," Spite smiled and raised an optic ridge to him. Knockout gawked at her for a moment, he couldn't figure out a response, until he chuckled slightly, there was no way Megatron would replace him with a new comer. While Knockout chuckled to himself Spite growled behind her smile, before turning her servo into a fist and ejecting a blade from her forearm, she punched the keypad causing sparks to fly from its circuits, as she slowly struggled to dislodge her fist from the wall. The door opened and she retracted her blade before turning and winking at Knockout. "See ya later, handsome," Spite said as she strode down the hall with one hand resting on her hip while the other swayed freely with each step she took.
Knockout was suddenly regretting underestimating her, thinking that he could manipulate her so easily was more than just a mistake, it had been a disaster.

"Your crew should perhaps head to the Adversary before my partner and Knockouts nurse freeze their processors into stasis," Spite said as she wandered aimlessly into Megatrons control room where he turned and snarled aggressively at her lack of respect, however before he could react, his newly appointed second in command spoke up.
"Spite!" Airachnid wandered over to the green femme with haste, Spite looked up and her optics acquired a mischievous glisten as she lit up with an unusual expression of bliss.
"Airachnid, it's been a while," Spite showed off her sharpened denta again with a smile as she bowed slightly in the presence of her former partner, "siding with the Decepticons again?" Spite whispered as she glared at Megatrons back.
"It would appear that way," Airachnid replied in a hushed tone before winking at Spite, "your partner?" she questioned referring to what Spite had been saying as she entered the room.
"Malice," Spite responded, "she's with the Adversary at its crash site."
"Ah yes," Airachnid tried to hold back her laugh in Megatrons presence, "I will have the crew clean out its cargo immediately." Airachnid then lead Spite from the room before Megatron had a chance to allow the anger brewing within him to lash out, once the door behind them had closed, Airachnid raised an optic ridge at Spite, "How about we catch up with one of our favourite pass times on Cybertron," her smile had turned into a grin when she saw the curious look on Spites face. "follow me," Airachnid then walked ahead of Spite who in turn followed using the wheels within her lower legs to keep up with ease.

"Energon on the move," Ratchet announced as he received a stunned look from the Autobots present, "well it's not exactly moving but the Decepticons appear to have found one of our reserves, it's only a matter of time." Without saying anything else Ratchet instinctively opened the ground bridge to the co ordinates and waited for the Autobots to head out.
"On a Saturday?" Miko whinged, "don't Decepticons even know what weekends are?" Miko smiled at her own joke as Bulkhead stood up and joined Arcee, Bumblebee and Optimus at the entrance to the ground bridge.
"There's only two energy signals," Ratchet said, hinting at the larger number of Autobots ready to leave.
"So I guess that means that we make it a fair fight?" Arcee raised an optic ridge as Ratchet scowled back.
"It means that I see no point in sending all of you out only to be using what energon we have in our reserves," Arcee scowled back at Ratchet, but before she could reply, Bulkhead stepped forward.
"Fine by me, I could use a break," Bulkhead crashed himself next to Miko once again, she smiled punched her fist into the air.
"TV goes back on!" Miko sat on the sofa where Jack and Raf had been playing a video game.
Bumblebee and Optimus then looked at one another, but before either of them could decide who would be going, Arcee interrupted,
"I will go on my own," Without another word she alt formed and sped through the ground bridge alone.
Ratchet hadn't softened his scowl as he closed the tunnel behind her, receiving shocked looks from everyone else, but he merely shrugged; "She will be in contact if she needs us, I'm sure of it,"
Everyone could pick up on the tension in the room at that moment, Raf decided to try and speak up, "Ratchet, are you okay?"
"Fine," Ratchet replied in an angered sigh as he left the room.
Miko and Jack shrugged as they both picked up controllers and continued their game where it had left off.

Malice and Breakdown had been enjoying one another's company in the form of complete silence, Breakdown would occasionally let out a sigh of exasperation, Malice would cleverly ignore this, but it had to be said, they had been waiting a long time.
"I'm contacting Spite," Malice opened up a call link and began to speak; "Spite? I believe that you have forgotten about us..." Malice rested her hand on her hip as she waited for a response, but she was met with silence. "Spite, this isn't funny," Malice gritted her denta together and growled.
"Okay cool it, Mal," Spites voice was calm as she spoke, "someone will be there shortly, I promise,"
"Where are you?" Malice asked, ignoring Breakdowns questions in the background.
"Enjoying an energon reserve with my old friend Airachnid," Malice could hear the pride in Spites voice.
"You are unbelievable," Malice sighed before closing the link and turning to Breakdown, "someone is on their way," Malice walked past Breakdown and back into the Adversary.
"Where are you going?" Breakdown asked in a gruff voice.
"Making sure nothing will get left behind," Breakdown took a step towards the adversary before Malice stopped him, "wait here," Malice then disappeared toward the cargo hold.
There were some things on board the Adversary that Malice wasn't prepared to let the other Deceticons get their sharpened servos on, some were personal items while others were just purely dangerous.

"Your new partner?" Airachnid asked dryly as she approached Spite, swirling a container of liquid energon in her servo.
"Hardly my new partner," Spite shrugged, after realising the static was Malice's way of giving her the silent treatment, "we have been working together for eons," Spite turned to face Airachnid, "but I have to admit, I've missed the fun we used to have,"
"Fun in the form of fight, fright and  we did keep it...fair.... by our standards," Airachnid tapped the rim of her container to the one in Spites claws, "to a new and improved friendship," Airachnid raised her glass and watched as Spite did the same.
Before Spite could take a sip, Airachnid stopped her.
"What's wrong?" Spite shrugged as she watched Airachnid twitch her head to the sides before stopping it at an angle to Spites gaze.
"Someone's here," Airachnid said as the two of them continued to listen out for an intruder.

"Optimus, I need back up," Arcee whispered down the link, too afraid to move now she was aware Spite and Airachnid had noticed her presence,
"What's going on?" Optimus snapped back down the call link, almost as though he had been expecting the call.
"Our worst nightmare," Arcee growled back.
"We are on our way," Optimus responded coldly.
Without needing confirmation, Ratchet opened up the ground bridge as Bulkhead and Bumblebee waited near its entrance.
