Both Airachnid and Emily start to battle each other as Jack, Miko and Raf are trying to free the others but are having difficulty getting the web off their friends.
"This stuff is too strong. I can't rip it off." Miko struggled before stopping as she panted.
"Me neither." Raf panted as Bumblebee beeped if he was okay.
"We have to find a way. Maybe if we try to find something sharp like a tree branch or a sharp rock." Jack said as he looked around to find something to help them cut the web off their friends.
"Won't work. Not even my strength can break that stuff." Bulkhead started to push against the web before Jack had an idea on how to get the web off.
"Wait, that's it. We can all try to rip this web together." Jack said as Miko, Raf and the others smiled at this. This could work but they have to do it one by one.
"How?" Smokescreen asked curiously as Bumblebee beeped in agreement with Smokescreen.
"We'll try to pull the web while you push. With any luck, the web will rip itself off." They nodded to the plan as Smokescreen spoke up.
"Jack, you must help Optimus." Smokescreen said but Optimus shook his head at Jack since he knows he will be fine but from the looks of the battle, Emily will need some help.
"No, Jack, you must free Smokescreen." Optimus said and made Smokescreen look at him in confusion.
"But, Optimus..." Smokescreen started to protest.
"Do not worry, Smokescreen. I'll find a way to free myself." Optimus reassured him as he nodded as Miko, Jack and Raf grip the web on Smokescreen, Bulkhead and Bumblebee.
"Okay then. On the count of three, we all pull. Ready, guys?" Jack said as Miko and Raf nodded.
"Ready when you are, Jack." Raf said as he got ready.
"Let's do this." Miko added.
"On the count of three." Jack told them as they nodded and they both waited for Jack's counting.
"One...two....three!" Jack counted as they started to pull with strain while the Autobots were pushing against it to help.
Jack, Miko and Raf start pulling while Smokescreen, Bulkhead and Bumblebee start pushing to try and get free from the webs.
Meanwhile, Emily is doing a good job on keeping Airachnid distracted so the others can get the Autobots free.
"Is that all you got?" Airachnid taunted as she hissed at her as Emily glared.
Airachnid then uses her spider legs to push Emily back but Emily was able to hold her spider legs using her own strength as she grinned at her.
"No... I'm just... warming up!" Emily exclaimed as she started to push her back.
Airachnid and Emily were both at a standstill as Airachnid heard something before turning around and sees from where they are that the human kids are trying to release the Autobots and this angers her.
"No... no!" Airachnid let out an angry shriek as she began to push Emily back harder. She ducked the heel of her boots against the dirt but was struggling to push back.
"Guys! Hurry! I can't hold her much longer!" Emily exclaimed with a strained expression.
Airachnid successfully pushed against Emily before throwing her to a well and she hit her head as dizziness appeared in her head as she groaned. Now that Emily is out of the equation for now, she then starts shooting her web fluid towards Miko and Bulkhead sees that.
"Miko!" Miko turned around and it was too late as the web stuck her against the wall but the web made her freak out since it's a spider web.
"I'M STUCK IN A SPIDER'S WEB! GET IT OFF! GET IT OFF!" Miko started to freak out as Raf saw that and ran to her to help her free.
"Miko! I'll free you!" Jack saw what was happening and saw that Airachnid was preparing to shoot another round of web fluids at Raf.
"Raf, no!" Jack tried to warn him but it was too late
Airachnid then shoots another round of web fluids and traps Raf against the wall causing Bumblebee to beep in panic and worry for what happened to his friend and little brother.
"I'm okay but I'm stuck." Rad told Bumblebee as he struggled a little. Jack knew that he had to hurry and started to pull even harder on the web as Smokescreen was pushing against it.
"Keep pulling, Jack! We're almost there!" Smokescreen encourage as he can feel that the web was loosening against him
"No. No!" Airachnid shouted in anger as this wasn't supposed to go down.
Airachnid then rushed towards Jack while shooting some web strings but due to her frustration, it affected her aim and gave Jack enough time for him to free Smokescreen. The web holding him starts ripping off slowly and Jack starts to pull harder.
"Almost there!" Smokescreen said as he started to push harder.
Jack started to pull even harder as Smokescreen was pushing harder and Airachnid was getting closer to them to stop them. Suddenly the web rips off and Smokescreen is free but Jack flew back a little and fell down on his back.
"Yeah, I'm finally free." Smokescreen grinned as his hands switched to guns as Airachnid hissed.
Smokescreen then starts shooting at Airachnid but she dodges the laser shots.
"Take that, ugly!" Smokescreen taunted which only angered Arachnid more.
Airachnid growls even more in anger and starts shooting web fluid at him but Smokescreen was able to avoid them but sadly Airachnid gets his feet stuck to the ground with her web and causing Smokescreen to fall to the ground and Airachnid seize this chance to immobilize his hand and immobilizing him completely from movements.
"Not again." Smokescreen groans as he starts to struggle.
"Hmph. Rookie." Airachnid sneered sinisterly as she started to approach the helpless Autobot.
Emily lets out a small groan before standing back up after that hard push as she holds her head in slight pain.
"Oh... my head." Emily winced as she could clearly feel a bump on the back of her head.
She looks up before letting out a gasp at the sight of Jack, Miko and Raf are stuck in the web fluids along with Optimus, Bulkhead and Bumblebee. But to her horror, she saw that Airachnid is about to kill Smokescreen and she got up with more determination and started to run towards them at such speeds.
"Time for you to join the Allspark." Airachnid said while raising her clawed servo directly towards his spark chamber.
Smokescreen then closed his optics while the others watched in horror what's about to happen as they were about to lose a friend and ally. But when Airachnid attacked Smokescreen, the sound of metal hitting metal was heard as they looked up and saw that she was stopped by Emily, who was holding the sword of creation as it was glowing in her hands while standing in front of Smokescreen as her eyes were glaring heatedly at her.
"What?" Airachnid said in shock and disbelief as she can feel the power from the sword and Emily.
Smokescreen soon opened his optics and was amazed at what he saw as the others were amazed as well as Optimus was even more amazed. Mastering a Cybertronian sword will take days to master but seeing Emily with the sword in her hands and how she was holding it, she mastered it in such a short time.
"Why, you?! Prepare to be destroyed!" Airachnid hissed as she started to push against her but Emily wasn't budging.
Emily perked up upon hearing something coming real fast and she grinned upon recognizing the familiar roar of engine from a certain Autobot femme.
"I'd recognize this sound anywhere. You might wanna get down on the floor." Emily grinned before shoving Airachnid from her and Smokescreen as she ducked quickly.
Airachnid didn't get what Emily meant before she heard the strange sound getting closer. As she looks up to see that it was Arcee coming at her in full speed while letting out a battle cry. Arcee then hits Airachnid right on her face plate and throws her off the side before she transforms and gets ready in a fighting stance. Airachnid stood back up and wiped the energon coming from the corner of her mouth and smiled sinisterly.
"You'll pay for this." Airachnid hissed.
Arcee takes out her arm blades as she and Airachnid glare at each other.
"Do your worst, Airachnid." Arcee and Airachnid then charged towards each other with a battle cry.
Arcee and Airachnid start fighting each other, Emily was able to free Smokescreen from the web as he stood up. For a human, she really is something and she's full of surprises.
"Alright. Thanks, Emily." Smokescreen grinned happily at her as she smiled back and nodded.
"No problem, Smoke. Let's go and free the others." Smokescreen nodded as he and Emily started to free the others.
Smokescreen and Emily started to help the others get free from Airachnid's web. Emily releases Jack, Miko and Raf by using her Sword while Smokescreen ripped the web off that was holding Bulkhead, Bumblebee and Optimus as they stood up.
"Good work, Smokescreen. You too, Emily." Optimus nodded to Smokescreen before looking at Emily with a smile and causing Emily to smile back with a light blush.
Meanwhile Arcee and Airachnid are still fighting each other. The others saw how they're fighting as Miko wished she had some popcorn to watch this.
"Let's go help Arcee." Bulkhead said as he turned his hand into a mace but Emily stopped him with a smile.
"Stay here, guys. Me and Arcee can handle her." She told them confidently before grabbing her sword.
Emily then rushed to the battle to help Arcee defeat Airachnid. Both femmes were at a standstill as they were holding each other's servos while pushing hard against each other.
"Feeling tired, Arcee?" Airachnid taunted as she took notice of the strain in Arcee's optics.
Arcee gritted her teeth and tries to push Airachnid away but she's losing her strength quickly and won't be able to keep the fight up but a familiar voice was heard and Arcee almost smiled in relief
"Mind if I tag along?" Emily appeared as she jumped in the air with her sword above her preparing to swing down.
Emily then starts to swing her sword at Airachnid who avoids every swing and tries to hit Emily back with her servos but Emily stops Airachnid with it and it also allows Arcee to attack Airachnid from behind. Both girls hit their foe real hard. The hitwere so hard that it made Airachnid fall to the ground as her strength depleted and knew that it was time to retreat.
"So I guess... this is my last hunt." Airachnid said as she panted heavily.
"You got that right." Arcee sneered as she stood over her.
Arcee was about to strike her but Airachnid shot her web fluid and trapped her against the ground. Arcee let out a shock cry of surprise as she started to struggle.
"Arcee!" Emily yelled worriedly when she saw that.
Emily then rushed towards Airachnid with her sword and swung it at Airachnid but she shot a web fluid towards her and was able to get the sword stuck on the ground as Emily was taken by surprise.
"This hunt is not over yet, little girl. It's just getting started." Airachnid chuckled evilly before transforming into her helicopter alt mode and started to fly away.
"No, no!" Arcee yelled as she struggled but stopped as she panted heavily.
"Autobots, open fire!" Optimus ordered them as their servos turned into their guns.
The Autobots start firing at Airachnid to stop her from escaping but none of them are able to shoot her down as they just watch her disappear from their sights.
"Scrap." Bulkhead cursed as they put their guns away.
"She escaped." Smokescreen kicked a small pebble at this as Bumblebee beeps in disappointment since he wanted to teach Airachnid to mess with his little brother.
"Let her go. We have what we came here for." Optimus told them. Even though Airachnid escaped and probably on her way back to Megatron's ship, they were able to get Emily back and that was good enough for them
Emily keeps pulling the handle of the sword to get it unstuck but it was proving to be difficult.
"Come on. Come on." Emily muttered to herself before the sounds of pedesteps coming towards her made her look up and saw Optimus.
Optimus helped Emily on getting her sword unstuck as he ripped off the web from it and got the sword unstuck as she smiled up to him and he smiled back as she made the sword disappear.
"Thanks, Optimus. I'm glad to see you're okay." She faced him fully as Optimus eyed her to make sure there were no more injuries on her aside from the small cut under her chin that must've been caused by Airachnid before they arrived.
"As do I." Optimus lowered his servo causing Emily to smile and blush lightly as she got on his servo and let her go on his shoulder and sat down as they went to the others.
The others were helping Arcee to get free and they finally ripped the web off that was holding her.
"She got away again." Arcee clenched her servos. She was so close to avenging Tailgate and she blew it.
"Yeah. Don't worry, Arcee. We'll get her someday." Smokescreen put his servo on her shoulder as she looked at him and nodded as she started to feel better.
She then looked up and saw Optimus approaching with Emily sitting on his shoulder.
"I'm glad you're okay, kid. Thanks for your help." Arcee smiled up to her as she smiled back.
"No problem. Thanks for coming back for me." Arcee smiled even more as she put her servo on her hips
"That's what friends are for." Arcee told her as she repeated what Emily said earlier and caused Emily to giggle and nodded.
Optimus then hears something coming from his comm-link and answers it and was happy to hear that it was Ratchet.
"Optimus, do you read me?" Ratchet asked through the comms as he nodded.
"I do, old friend." Optimus nodded as he glanced at Emily who looked back at him with a shy smile.
"Thank Primus you're alright. Is Emily with you? Is she alright?" Emily had to stop herself from rolling her eyes in amusement at Ratchet's voice as Optimus chuckled warmly and answered.
"She's fine. Open up a ground bridge." Optimus reassures him before telling him that they need a portal to get back to base. He could hear the sounds of typing on the comm link and the sound of the ground bridge at base turning on.
"On it." Ratchet said as the portal back to base opened up before the group and they walked to it and would be able to relax after a hectic day against Airachnid.
