Chapter 7: A depressing episode.

. . .

"Alright, Jack. You got his! There's no way she's gonna reject you!" exclaimed the Japanese girl. Miko was wearing her usual clothes. No party can force her to wear dresses. "And how am I supposed to do that?" said Jack. "You will, somehow, someway, I think," said Miko. That was not reassuring at the slightest. "Right, I can't mess this up. There's no way I could mess this up. I mean, there's actually a lot.." "Just go for it. The worse she can say is no!" (Why did you have to jinx it Miko?)

. . .

"My lady, seems like the youngling has gotten Jack Darby in her grasps. What shall be our next course of action?" asked Alice. The lady's back is faced to Alice as her arms crossed, looking out the totally-not-so-creepy window. She sighs before a hint of a smile appears on her lips, "I've already given her some sleeping pills to put in his drink. As long as she isn't that stupid, the plan shall carry on just fine. Our goal is after all not only to get information out of the Darby. Optimus Prime shall come and I shall take my prolonged revenge."

Silence was the loudest force in the room for a few seconds before Alice finally dares to ask, "I understand your goal and wishes, Miss. I wish not to offend you, but one must ask... How is this helping us revive Cybertron? The said Prime might be the only way to revive our dead planet.." The lady begins to turn around in all her glory. "About that, I understand it's not so clear to see how, but might I remind you that he is one of the reason why your planet died out? He became a prime and war began in the whole of Cybertron. I understand your doubt, but after all of this, I shall reward your planet by sparking life in it once again. As you know however, that wretched Prime had stopped me before and I can't let that fool lead Cybertron to further destruction. Trust me, and you shall be rewarded," she said.

"Then one must ask. What shall happen to the youngling after she served her purpose?" Alice asks. Though not obvious, her voice speaks of genuine concern over the fate of her "sister". "We shall see where she stands. If she stands with us, she will live. If not however..."

She didn't continue her sentence due to a set of footsteps walk through the halls towards them with an unconscious Jack Darby she carries bridal style. "I'm sorry, my lady. It took a while to get away from prying eyes and that Japanese girl," her voice trembled. She wanted to say more, to defend her case. However, a raised hand by the lady caused her to flinch and stumble back.

To her and Alice's surprise, what came out was not vicious scolding, but a soft and gentle voice, "There's no need for further explanation, youngling. You have completed your task. Dear Arcee will be worried. That is all we need to start our grand plan." "For now, hook the cortical psychic patch onto his brain. The human-sized one, thought you needed some clarity to not mess up," said the lady.

. . .

Miko is in a state of absolute panic. She thought going to a party would give her some tea about Jack and Sierra. She jinxed it too badly. Jack was nowhere to be seen for the past hour. She wouldn't be worried if Jack just picked his phone up for once. She knew that the Autobots were rather busy to at least not be under radar so she ran to the next most somehow logical choice, Jane. Unfortunately, not even one of the seven gods of luck seem to be on her side. As luck would have it, Jane was with Vince. As much as she wants to back kick that guy, she does not have time for that.

She reaches them, panting. "Geez, Nakadai, why the hell are you running? Running from a spider?" laughed Vince. She held the urge to back kick him once againa and looks towards the Jane with her arms crossed. "Jack'sgone. Can'tfindhim," she says quickly. Jane took a moment to process that. "Wasn't he like, with you or something? Don't tell me you lost someone who somehow stands out in the crowd more than this Leprechaun ("Hey!" Vince snaps but she just puts a hand to cover her mouth) and can't find him yourself," she's so done with this. They broke off into a sprint, leaving Vince in the dust.
