You followed me back?

Of course I did, I wasn't going to stay where I was after becoming aware.

It feels weird talking to you like this when you're inside my processor. We haven't had any connection in so many years...

I'm not the only one who blocked off our bond to hide secrets, Arcee.

Arcee had already walked away from the rest of her team so she could be alone and think things over. She's debating on if she should tell her team that Megatron followed her back.

I could easily take over your body and make you do things that could really humiliate you in front of your team. I could even make you pleasure yourself in front of them... Arcee's spark quickens, she wouldn't be able to look her teammates in the optics ever again. Actually, I wouldn't do that, I will never allow any other mechs a peek at what is for my optics only.

And to think that you used to be a really kind mech...

Arcee is sitting at the table with Megatronus drinking as much Energon as her body can take. When she has her full she feels relieved. "Satisfied?" Megatronus asks as he watches her. She just nods. "Good." He pays for the Energon and they head out.

They make their way over to their original destination that they were heading to at first, where Arcee can scan a vehicle form. "How come you never scanned a vehicle form?"

"They didn't allow us to, they figured that if we could transform into vehicle mode then we could escape a lot easier, and they wanted to prevent that."

"How did you end up with them?"

Arcee went silent again, she wasn't sure if it was a good idea to tell him too much about herself. But she didn't need to worry about that anyway since they had arrived at their destination. She finds a hover motorbike that is perfect for her size and she chooses that to be her vehicle form. As soon as she transforms she takes off, leaving Megatronus looking a bit dumbfounded. Once he regained his senses he transformed and chased after her.

"I thought you didn't know how to transform," Megatronus says when he catches up to her. Arcee remained silent. Megatronus pulls in front of her and comes to a stop, making her come to a stop as well. "Listen, I'm trying to be nice here but I'm not gonna let you just run away from me after I bought you! I want to help you, that's the main reason why I bought you! I could tell that there was something off about that old couple and I didn't like the thought of you being involved in whatever they were doing. Now, we're going to go back to my place and recharge and then we will have a discussion tomorrow."

Arcee was silent as she followed him to his place, she wondered if he was telling the truth when he said that he wanted to help her. When they arrived at the place where he was staying she was surprised, it's a nice place but not the kind of place she imagined a gladiator would live in. With how much credits he has she expected him to be living in a much fancier place. His place is a one-floor house that looks big enough to fit maybe two to three bots, but it's still a lot nicer than any place she's been in.

Megatronus showed her to the room where she would be sleeping and then showed her the washroom where she could wash, wax, and polish her armor if she needed to. He starts to head for his room but Arcee stops him, "Were you telling the truth when you said that you wanted to help me?"

Megatronus looks at her, "Yes, as I said, it's the main reason why I bought you."

"Thank you for helping me get away from them, but I still need to find my parents. They took me from them when I was a sparkling. Ever since we left the club all I've been thinking is that I need to find them again. That's why I drove off the way I did, I just want to reunite with my parents and make sure they're okay."

The more Megatronus heard about that couple the more they made his Energon boil. They have no right to take any sparklings away from their parents. Even though he doesn't want to let Arcee go he knows that he can't keep her caged, "You're free to leave in the morning to go look for your parents, just get some recharge first."

For the first time, he saw Arcee smile, which just made her look even more beautiful. He realizes that this femme has him hooked and he doesn't care. "Thank you, Megatronus. I will return, I promise."

The next morning she was gone, and Megatronus felt an ache in his spark.

XXXXXX

Don't expect me to be like that again.

I already know that you're far from that.

But know that my love for you never changed.

Arcee didn't know what else to say so she went silent. Eventually, she decides to tell Ratchet and Optimus that she keeps seeing Megatron and Ratchet thinks that it's from being in his head and maybe even from being sparkbonded with him, so he puts her in induced power down to let her processor rest and recover. But that didn't deter Megatron, he forced Arcee out of power down and made her go to the place where he knew there was a Dark Energon shard.

Arcee keeps fighting to regain control of her body but it's no use. Stop controlling me!

I will once I have revived my own body. And once I do I will make sure that you stay with me and be by my side as you were supposed to be from the beginning, but you went against me and became an Autobot instead!

You were turning into a tyrant!

She had already made it back to base with the Dark Energon shard in her servo and when Ratchet tried to question her about it she punched him. Jack had been watching the whole time, trying to figure out what was going on with her. Still under Megatron's control, Arcee opens up a Ground Bridge to where Optimus, Bulkhead, and Bumblebee had gone and she made her way to the Nemesis.

She makes her way through the ship with ease, fighting any Vehicons that get in her way, obviously using strength and fighting skills from Megatron. She gets to the room where Megatron's body is and she uses the Cortical Psychic Patch again to connect her to Megatron. Ratchet comes running into the room with Jack to stop her but Arcee manages to take him down with ease. When Jack tried to intervene and stop her she just swatted him away, she felt bad for hurting them but she wasn't in control.

After Arcee had put the Dark Energon shard into Megatron's body to revive it, Megatron returned to his body and woke up. Arcee and Ratchet watched in horror as Megatron got off of the medical berth. She couldn't believe that he used her to help him revive his body.

"Decepticons, your rightful lord and master has returned!" Megatron looks over at Arcee and Ratchet, he grabs Arcee's arm and starts walking off. Arcee tried to protest as she tried to get out of his grip but he refused to let her go, "Dispose of those pests," he said as he walked past the Vehicons. Ratchet grabbed Jack and ducked for cover as he looked for a way to get off of the ship.
