The room was dark and there was cold breeze sweeping throughout the air as the ex-con slowly opened his optics, the hue colour of his eyes illuminated the area around him while he shifted his body slightly, he then carefully lifted his body off the ground while groaning in pain as he felt his helm ache a little. "Uugh...what happened?" Starscream growled as he sat up on a near by wall and rubbed his helm, he looked around to see that he was in some sort of large-ish cemented room with thick glass walls. Starscream groaned again as he strained his neck to look at his right to see that there was a strange looking figure on the ground on the other side of the glass wall, the seeker then slowly Stood up with help from the wall behind him. He quietly walked over to the wall and placed his clawed servos to the glass and looked closer at the figure then he soon realised who it was. "Arcee" he was confused and tried to remember what happened and then it all came back in a flash in his processor. "Oh scrap" he muttered and looked back at Arcee and called out her name, or her nickname. "Hey, hey autobot wake up!"
She groaned slightly and was slowly stirred awake, she rubbed her optics while sitting up.
"Wake up femme we have to get out of here" he said in a nervous tone and quickly looked around for any cameras watching them and there were, Arcee yawned and looked up to see the same dark room then to Starscream and panicked a little.
"Starscream! What- what's going on?!" She stood up and tried to pull out her guns but it didn't work. "What the, my guns aren't working" she then tried her blades but only got the same results, "scrap" she cursed.
Starscream did the same as her with his own guns but saw that he lost his missiles and servo guns too. He growled deeply and wondered Over to her and leaned against the wall, trying to think of a plan.
"Well at least the helmache is gone" she said and examined the glass.
"Really, in a time of crisis you make jokes?" Starscream said with annoyance.
"What, just trying to lightened up the mood before we meet our death sentences in the hands of MECH themselves" she exclaimed. He rolled his optics and spun around and glared at her, memories of his last encounter with the humans flooded his processor and he shivered, but then a thought came to mind and asked, "hey can you transform?" She looked over at him with a confused expression and he repeated. "Can you transform two wheeler?"
"I don't know but I'll try" she then stood in the middle of the room and focused her mind on transforming but nothing happened, she tried again and again but still nothing, "Oh primus no no no no no!" She panicked and placed both servos on where her T-cog was in her right side.
"Look just calm down" he said, knowing exactly how she feels, but didn't want to seem soft and chuckled. "huh, guess I'll have to call you two legger from now on" he laughed to himself and Arcee glared at him until suddenly bright burning lights turned on, scaring both robots and making them covering their optics from the lights above.
A minute passed and they adjusted quickly and looked down at the approaching fleshlings on the ground and both cybertronians muttered out at the same time.
"Silas"
"Well, well it looks like you two finally woke up" silas said while glancing at them with a smug grin. "And I'm pretty sure that I won't have to explain anything about what I plan to do with you both. Because you probably won't survive the tests and I want it to be a surprise" he explained.
Both Starscream and Arcee glanced at each other with worried looks then back at the human, silas then pulled out something from his pocket and held it up for them to see.
"Do you both see this, this small device is a powerful remote that gives me access to punish you if either of you misbehave" he then brought the remote in front of him and pressed a button and immediately Arcee and Starscream cried out in pain and fell to the floor, clutching their arms around their frames. This time it was only five hundred volts of electricity that shocked their bodies until it stopped abruptly. Arcee groaned and slowly but carefully crawled over to the nearest wall but didn't realise that Starscream was against the same glass wall on the other side and they both locked optics for a second and looked back at silas with pure hatred.
"You bastard" Arcee growled out, while leaning her back strut against the glass wall.
Silas chuckled and then stepped forward one step and said, "oh I almost forgot to tell you both something"
"And what is that you disgusting parasite?" the silver mech asked angrily with his raspy voice.
"Arcee do you remember when we first sent that message on that device that disrupted your communication link with the other autobots. Well it also aloud us to transmit a secret code into your brain, and when the time came we just had to activated it, making you both walk right into our trap." He explained and watched her reactions with glee as she was internally freaking out.
"Wait when did you put the code into my head!?" Starscream demanded.
"When we took your T-cog that night" he answered bluntly and then Starscream stood up then charged at them with his claws slashing at the glass, it only did little damage and he stepped back a little to look at the glass with shock. The leader of MECH smirked, "don't waste your time ex-con, you'll never break through the glass wall, it's indestructible"
The mech growled and curled his servos into fists, Arcee watched him and she couldn't help but to feel sympathy for him  at this moment and saw that silas was about to leave but then he turn around and spoke for the last time.
"Please enjoy your peaceful rest, because it will be the last one you both will ever get to enjoy ever again." With that he left the room with the rest of his men, leaving both Starscream and Arcee to fear the morning sun of their up coming doom.
