I hope no one seriously thought the last chapter was gonna be the end of the book. Defiantly not, this book is far from over, there's still a bit of a way to go before we reach the end. I will leave a note to let you all know when the book is coming to an end and I will put a note on the very last chapter to let it be known that it is the end, but that's still a ways off so don't worry. ;)

WARNING: This chapter has sex in it at the end. You will see this '~~' when it will start.

Enjoy!

~~~~~~~~~~

A bit of time has passed since the Autobots returned to their home planet. Arcee remains with her team to help rebuild and look for Shockwave and Starscream but she can't stop thinking about Predaking, she really misses him. Her spark aches as she yearns to be with him again, but she needs to help her team.

After Optimus leaves with Wheeljack to go search for the All-Spark the rest of the Autobots proceed with the search for the two 'Cons and Bulkhead sees to the reconstruction. When Smokescreen returns from a patrol with a severely injured Ultra Magnus and tells them that they were attacked by two Predacons, Arcee's spark sinks. Does Predaking know about these Predacons?

Ratchet comes to Cybertron to tend to Magnus' injuries. After scanning him he looks at the results on the computer, "He is suffering from a multitude of internal injuries. Most quite severe." He tells the others. 

Arcee looks over at Bumblebee and Bulkhead as she asks the persistent question, "So anyone care to explain what two more Predacons are doing on Cybertron?"

The two mechs look at her and Bulkhead responds with a confused tone, "I thought Optimus said that new life was impossible without the All-Spark."

"I'm no authority but something tells me that cloning old bones, doesn't constitute new life." Bumblebee tells them with a serious look.

"Shockwave's been playing in his lab since the war." Bulkhead states, "Why stop now?"

"Doesn't matter where those beasts came from." The three look back at Smokescreen who is leaning against the wall, "We got to take them down."

Arcee listens to them silently as her spark tears between her team and Predaking. She gets where they're coming from, more Predacons means more danger and trouble for them. But it would make Predaking very happy to have more Predacons around and maybe even have his Predacon army he had been wanting. But it would be too dangerous for them, she might be safe since she's Predaking's sparkmate but she can't be too certain. She also keeps getting that small thought in the back of her processor that maybe Predaking will decide to make a Predacon femme his mate instead and throw her away.

"Arcee!" Arcee looks at the mechs to see them looking at her with worried expressions, "Are you alright?" Bumblebee asks her.

"I'm fine."

"Do you think we should call Optimus?" Bulkhead asks her.

"Really? And interrupt his quest to save the future of our race on Cybertron?"

"I have an idea, follow me." Bumblebee tells them. They look at him questioningly but they proceed to follow him.

They reach an area of the planet where the metal is scattered and raised into small hills and cliffs, "Watch your step." Bumblebee tells them before pulling out a metal rod from a scrapheap. The other three watch him walk forward as they wonder what he's up to.

"Who made him leader?" Smokescreen asked.

"'Bee did snuff Megatron." Bulkhead stated.

"I'm not leading." Bumblebee says as he looks down at the ground. He squats down to scrape up some Energon onto his digit and examines it, "I'm scouting." He says before walking on.

"Fair enough. But you do realize we're nowhere near where we found those Predacons, right?" Smokescreen questions as they follow him.

"We're not looking for those Predacons. I followed this Energon trail which means he was wounded." Bumblebee says as he turns to look at them. Arcee's spark races as she senses Predaking close by, "And I know we aren't the ones who wounded him." Bumblebee continued.

"Whoa, you mean we've been tracking..." Bulkhead trails off as Predaking lands on top of some raised metal in front of them, "Predaking?" Bulkhead finishes.

Predaking screeches and Bulkhead and Smokescreen transform their servos into their blasters, they point their blasters at him as they fire up. Arcee just looks on at Predaking builds up a fireball from his chest, she runs forward, "Wait, Predaking...!"

Bumblebee raises a servo, "Hold fire!" He says before he steps forward, "Recognize this, Predaking?" He raises up the metal rod in his servo and Predaking roars as he looks at him. He had already died down his fireball after noticing Arcee, "You served aboard Megatron's warship, surely you're familiar with this little treasure from his vault. The immobilizer, it causes instant stasis lock though the victim remains fully conscious, a living death."

Arcee looks at him with wide optics, "What are you doing Bumblebee?" She asks him in almost a whisper.

Bumblebee gets down on one knee and lays the metal rod down on the ground as he bows, "But we didn't come here to fight, your highness."

Predaking transforms and glares at him, "Then why have you violated my refuge, Autobot?"

Bulkhead and Smokescreen transform their blasters back to their servos as Bumblebee rises, "We need answers. Do you know of any other Predacons currently on Cybertron?"

"Indeed, legions of them. Behold, my subjects!" Predaking says as he motions to an area full of Predacon bones, "The countless multitude, rendered extinct ages ago by the great cataclysm. Unearthed by the shifting of plates during our planet's restoration."

"Yeah well, me and Ultra Magnus just got scrapped by two living Predacons." Smokescreen spoke up, "Know anything about them, your highness?" He finishes off saying your highness in a mocking tone.

"Two? Where?"

"We came to ask your help in finding them." Bumblebee says as he takes a step forward.

"For revenge?"

"No. Optimus Prime would deem it a tragedy to stain Cybertron's fresh soil with any newly spilled Energon. So help us prove what Megatron was never willing to, that more than one race can peacefully coexist on our planet. You proved that you can by sparkmating with Arcee and saving her life."

"You assume that because I turned against Megatron I can forgive the Autobots their role in the destruction of my brethren on Earth? Just because I love Arcee and mated with her doesn't mean I can just forgive the rest of you for what you have done! Leave me be and dare not trespass here again."

Bumblebee looks down at the metal rod before turning to walk away while throwing the rod over his shoulder. Arcee looks up at Predaking with a heavy spark before turning to follow the other three. Predaking looks at her as she turns to walk away, his primal instincts going crazy, he needs to hold her and feel her in his arms again, "Arcee, you stay!" He shouted with a hint of a growl, he didn't mean for it to come out as a demand or to sound predatory, but he can't go without holding her and touching her any longer.

Arcee glances back at him before looking at her team, "You guys go on, I'll catch up later."

Bumblebee, Bulkhead and Smokescreen are hesitant about letting her stay with him alone but they doubt he would harm her, plus they have a feeling that they would probably lose their sparks if they prevented her from being with him, "Just be careful." Bumblebee tells her before they leave.

Arcee looks back at Predaking who gets down on his knee and puts out a servo to help her up. Once she's up there with him he immediately pulls her into a hug and she smiles as she hugs him back, "I missed you so much." He tells her.

"I missed you too." She says as he sits down and pulls her into his lap. She pulls back to look at him, "How are you? I felt you were shot in your chest." She says as she looks at his chest but she doesn't see anything.

"Megatron shot a hole in my chest sending me flying out of the ship."

"It seems to be healed already."

"A Predacon's body is really good at healing wounds. It's part of why we're so hard to kill."

Arcee lays her helm on his chest as she hugs him again, "I was so scared I had lost you for a second until I realized the connection was still there."

Predaking gently rubbed her back with his claws, "I didn't mean to scare you, and I'm sorry you had to feel that pain." He pauses as he looks down at her, "I will never replace you Arcee." Arcee looks up at him, she's a bit surprised but she should have known he could see her thoughts. Predaking looks into her optics as he continues, "My spark belongs to you and you only, even if more Predacons are created I will never choose another over you. You will always be my mate and no Predacon will dare to harm their queen."

Arcee smiles at him, "I love you, Predaking."

"I love you too, Arcee. If you don't mind, I would like to renew the bond."

"That probably would be best after everything that's happened."

~~~~~

They both took off their chest armor and opened up their spark chambers, their sparks automatically started pulling towards each other, yearning to be merged again. Predaking pulls Arcee closer for another hug so their sparks can merge together once again and Arcee gasps as she closes her optics. She feels his sharp dentures pierce the metal on her neck as he bites her to refresh the mark, if there really are other Predacons he wants to be sure they know that she belongs to him.

Arcee lets out a moan as she grips his shoulder. Predaking growls as he starts undoing her interface panel, he wants all of her, he wants to mate with her and make her his in every way possible. He quickly removes her panel and removes his own to release his spike which is already hardening, he wastes no time in sinking his spike into her port. He bites down harder on her neck as he begins thrusting slowly, he can taste her Energon as it begins leaking from her neck.

Arcee gasps and moans as she moves her hips to meet his thrusts, her neck begins to ache with how hard he's biting her but she can tell that he's in a state where it would be impossible to get him to stop. Is he going into heat or did he just miss being with her that much? She can't tell for certain, but it does feel good, despite the ache in her neck.

Faster... Please go faster... She tells him through the bond and Predaking quickens his pace. When he starts feeling the ache in his own neck he realizes that he's biting too hard so he releases her neck and licks it to get rid of the Energon and try to make it better. He moans into her neck as Arcee starts moving her hips faster, between the spark merging and the interfacing he's just overfilled with pleasure. 

"Oh, P-Predaking! Ah!" Arcee moans out as she places a servo on his helm and looks up at the sky, she's so full of bliss and pleasure that she feels like she's about to malfunction and glitch out. Predaking leans back as he thrusts even harder, but still being careful not to go too far in where he'll hurt her.

"Arcee... My queen." Predaking moans as he pulls back to look into her optics, "I love you so much." He says as he sends her waves of love through the bond.

Arcee smiles lazily at him, she's happy to know that he will never throw her to the side and he will stay with her no matter what. He had proved that before already so she doesn't know why she even had that nasty thought, but she's happy that he confirmed it again that she will never lose him, "I love you too."

Predaking kisses her passionately, he will never trade her in for anything, his spark will always belong to her. Arcee breaks from the kiss and throws her helm back as her overload hits her at full force, Predaking was right behind her with his own overload. Their juices mixing together as it splatters onto the ground.

They manage to get enough strength to pull their sparks away from each other and close their spark chambers. But afterward, they lay there exhausted, "I'm gonna have to get back to my team." Arcee says after cooling herself down enough where she can talk.

"Stay just a bit longer."

Arcee giggles, "I'll stay until I'm sure I can walk."
