Meanwhile, Airachnid was thinking about ways to bring Emily to Megatron while the remaining vehicons were standing guard to make sure that she doesn't escape or Autobots are coming to rescue their captive. Emily kept an eye on Airachnid while trying to remove her bounds which were starting to rub against her wrist and might leave some bruises.
"It's only just a matter of time before that pest Arcee comes back along with the other Autobots. I can't face them on my own." Emily glared at Airachnid for calling her friends pests. How dare she call them that?!
"What do you think we do now?" One of the vehicons asks who got a little nervous when Emily glared at Airachnid. Just what does their lord and leader want from a human?
Airachnid turns around and sees how Emily is trying to get free but the harder she struggles, the more her wrists get bruised up.
"I think I have a plan." Airachnid said sinisterly as Emily continued to try and remove her bounds.
Airachnid then walks slowly towards her captive while humming. Emily looks up and growls and tries to get her feet to try and get the bounds off them. Airachnid gets even closer to her as Emily looks up in fear as she shows her claws to Emily who closes her eyes in fear as she lets out a terrified whimper. Airachnid then slides her claws into Emily's face gently as she smiles at how Emily shivered in fear at the mere touch before grabbing the web covering her mouth and ripping it off.
"Oww! Hey, watch it! That hurts you know." Emily yelped in pain as her mouth was stinging slightly from how hard Airachnid took the web off her mouth.
"There are worse things that hurt. For example my claws and..." Airachnid said before lifting a digit as Emily moved her shoe out of the way as a small droplet of acid dripped from Airachnid's digit.
"My acid."
"Hmph. You don't scare me, Airachnid." Emily huffed as she rolled her eyes while keeping an eye on the spot where the acid landed.
"Oh I see you know my name." Airachnid was surprised to say the least that their captive knew her name already.
"Yeah Arcee told me about you." Emily replied as she gave Airachnid a pointed look.
"So it would seem. I take it that she told you about what happened between us a long time ago." Emily growled slightly which surprised the cons as her optic-eye glowed dimly as they saw anger and disgust that was directed to Airachnid. Of course she knew what this sorry excuse of a con did to her mother figure!
"She did. She told me everything, especially how you tortured her and that you killed Tailgate right in front of her."
"Well, isn't that a surprise? Now the three of us know about this story. My question is who knows more than she tells?" Airachnid taunted her but she just scoffed at her.
"You're a con. Why should I listen to you?" Emily sneered slightly.
"You don't have to. For everything I say can be a lie or not." Airachnid dismissed how she sneered at her before she went into thinking.
"Yeah right." Emily just rolled her optic-eye at her.
"I must say. For a human, you look very... strange." Airachnid mentioned as she took a closer look at Emily.
The humans on this planet don't have pale white skin that almost looks silver on coloring. An Autobot insignia on the shoulder and an optic for another eye. Just what is she then?
"A lot of people say that to me." Emily huffed as she just got comfortable but didn't let her guard down.
"But not a lot of humans have the strength to beat four Decepticons on their own." This surprised and confused Emily. How did she know that she beat up Megatron, Knockout, Breakdown and Starscream? And what did she mean that not all humans can beat the cons up like she did? She shook the thought away before turning back to Airachnid.
"How about you release me so I can beat you up?" Emily told her as she wanted to give the spider con a taste of her own beating but Airachnid just dismissed it.
"Despite me wanting to figure out how strong you are. I think it's in everyone's best interest to keep you a prisoner. So how about you stay here and hang out for a while?" Airachnid suggested but Emily was smart and won't even allow her to take to the cons and Megatron.
"Very funny. So you know the song, like Itsy Bitsy Spider? That's nice. I didn't think you were the kind of person to love that kind of stuff." Emily said sarcastically and she had to laugh since she knew that she had to annoy Airachnid more to get her to remove the bounds.
"Be quiet or else I'll make you." Airachnid hissed threateningly but this just makes Emily want to annoy her further.
"Okay, fine. I'll just hang around here waiting for the Autobots to come and rescue me. I would really like to see Arcee kick your eight legged aft." Emily had to smirk since the thought of Arcee teaching Airachnid a lesson would be quite a sight to see.
"Be quiet or else." Airachnid was getting annoyed with her.
"Okay, okay, I get it. I'll be quiet." Airachnid hummed but was thankful that she would.
Silence settled between all before Emily had an idea. To annoy Airachnid further, she had to sing one of the nursery rhymes. The thought made her want to laugh before opening her mouth and starting to sing Itsy Bitsy Spider.
Emily: Itsy bitsy spider climbed up the water spout
Down came the rain and washed the spider out
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain
And the itsy bitsy spider climbed up the spout again
Airachnid was pacing around but looked up and looked at Emily with an annoyed look as the vehicons glanced at them when they heard singing. Did their captive just sing a child's nursery rhyme?
Emily: Itsy bitsy spider climbed up the water spout
Down came the rain and washed the spider out
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain
And the itsy bitsy spider climbed up the spout again
The song was seriously starting to get annoying as Airachnid continued to pace around but gave Emily a glare who smiled cheekily at the annoyed Decepticon.
"Stop it." Airachnid hissed at her and Emily knew that the song was annoying Airachnid more and did it again.
Emily: Itsy bitsy spider climbed up the water spout
Down came the rain and washed the spider out
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain
And the itsy bitsy spider climbed up the spout again
Airachnid covered her audio receptors at the song as it was getting annoying before letting out a scream of anger as she turned to Emily who looked at her in shock and surprise. Guess the song did more than just annoy her.
"RAHHHHH!!!!!! That's it!" Airachnid hissed in anger before she went to Emily and raised her clawed servo and Emily had to shut her optic-eye close.
Airachnid then cuts down the web that was holding Emily's arms and legs as she looks at what Airachnid did while rubbing her sore wrists. She just can't believe that Airachnid would just release her. Just like that!
"Leave my sight before I destroy you." Airachnid hissed at her as she stood up. As much as she wants to beat Airachnid up, she had to leave now before she changes her mind
"Catch you later." Emily smirked as she saluted before making a run for it as the vehicons watched Emily run off before turning back to Airachnid who had a sinister look in her optics.
"Why did you let her escape?" The first vehicons ask in confusion and shock as Airachnid scoffs.
"Simple. For the hunt." Airachnid replied. She was getting bored and this was her only answer on getting some fun on capturing Emily again.
"But Lord Megatron ordered us to bring the human girl." The second vehicon reminded Airachnid what their objectives were and that's to capture the human girl who was now running further.
"Yes, he did." Airachnid narrowed her eyes before she killed the first vehicon who fell to the ground as the other started shooting but Airachnid used the other one's body as a shield to protect herself. She then charges towards the other vehicon and kills him and drops both now offline vehicons on the ground as she dusts her servos.
"At last... I can do a little hunting. And kills some Autobots along the way." Airachnid smiled sinisterly and looked in the direction Emily ran off.
After killing her own troops, Airachnid soon starts drilling underground to spread her trap on recapturing Emily. The game cat and mouse is just about to start.
Unaware to her that she was being watched as she was under the surveillance of Laserbeak who transmitted everything back to Soundwave who showed it to Megatron and the others to see what was going on. Knock Out and Megatron were annoyed by the song even Starscream but Breakdown thought it was catchy.
"It appears that we were right to count on Airachnid's rebellious side. Or maybe not." Starscream noted and looked to their leader to see what he had to say about the situation when they saw Emily running off and Airachnid playing a game of cat and mouse with their target.
"Airachnid might be rebellious but I can assure you that whether she comes back or not. We will soon learn more about our new enemy." Megatron said as he and the others waited for Airachnid to recapture Emily again.
"Hopefully this info will enable us to get some payback." Knock Out grinned at the possibility of making Emily pay for what she did days ago as Breakdown agreed with him.
"I'd love some sweet payback." Breakdown smashed his fist into his other servo but a glare from Megatron made them back down.
"Fools, there is still much to learn about our new enemy and you'd be wise to remember this." The duo knew to not question their lord further and that might save them the punishment that he might give them.
Meanwhile Emily found a spot to catch her breath as she panted heavily. She then looks at her wrist at the comm watch Ratchet gave to her before calling the base for a ground bridge while keeping an eye out for Airachnid.
"Ratchet, I need a ground bridge ASAP." Emily said through the comm link and hoped that they received her call.
Back at the base, Arcee was fully treated as Ratchet put his tools aside before the beeping of the computer alerted them of an incoming call from Emily.
"I'm receiving a call... from Emily." Ratchet looked to Arcee with hope in their optics. Emily must've escaped and was calling them back now.
"Ratchet, send out a-" The call was unclear as static began to interfere with the call.
"Emily? Do you read me?" Ratchet tried to call for her but the call was being interfered by the static before he let out a sigh and turned the comms off as he and Arcee looked at each other in worry. They were relieved that Emily is okay and well but for how long.
Emily gulped slightly as she turned the comms off as she got off the rock she was sitting on.
"Scrap. It doesn't work. I better get out of here." Emily muttered to herself as she resumed her running to escape on getting captured by Airachnid.
