It had been almost two days since Megatron's death. Decepticons lost their old master but immediately got another one to replace. The dictatorship would never end if there still a Con survived somewhere in this universe or maybe other universes. Therefore, Megatron felt and Starscream raised to become a new threat so that Autobots must always beware. They had to ready to know a holiday in peace might be a beautiful dream forever.

"Starscream becomes Lord of the Decepticons now. This Con may be more dangerous than Megatron. He's hardly to be predicted by anyone, even his previous Lord," a mech in white and orange said. It's Ratchet - Autobot's medic. He just reminded generally what Optimus said before.

"That coward, that jerk? No way! My Bulkhead will beat him to death! Right, partner?" Following the exciting statement was a laugh, Miko said while patching on Bulkhead's helm.

"Absolutely, Miko, there is no way I will lose that jerk."

Ratchet rolled his optics, mumbled: "Whatever."

-You guys must see what I have found!- It was Arcee's voice coming through the comm.

"Send me your vision." Optimus Prime stayed besides Ratchet ordering.

After that, an image appeared on the screen. This showed a small piece of raw energon, what made them concern about was the sharp teeth mark on it. They could hear Miko whistling as she saw the image and be with that was the regretful expression. Since they didn't allow her to follow Arcee and Jack in their mission: discover an abandoned energon-mine.

-Somethings must have bitten it... It can't be a human or any creatures of Earth, but it can't be a Cybertronian as well. Raw energon is like poison to us.-

Arcee heard Ratchet say through the comm. The problem was more complex than she thought.

-I have seen this before. It's quite familiar to me... It will be only her who can do such thing.-

"What do you mean, Ratchet? Who you're talking about?" This time it was Jack saying. Arcee and him were standing inside the cavern. Arcee was holding the energon piece kneeling down to make sure Jack could see that piece too.

"Do you guys mean this trace belongs to Forbidden Child?" Said Arcee suspiciously.

"Who is Forbidden Child?" Jack frowned.

-No, it can't be... Megatron exterminated her long time ago.- Said Optimus Prime firmly through the comm.

-What? What? What's it interesting about Forbidden Child?- Miko asked curiously.

  -Bipbibip...- Bumblebee answered Miko's question and of course she couldn't understand what he said.

"What I only know about her not much. She's some kind of legend or even a myth to me, but I can tell you surely that she was a terrible Con that no one would like to deal with, and she was killed by her own Lord for betraying him."

-No, you're wrong, Arcee. She's not terrible, she's miserable...- Optimus said in sad tone.

Then, it was a brief of silence. The rest didn't know that Optimus Prime and Ratchet knew her as she was a proud gladiator of Kaon at the same time with Megatron and a great friend as well.

  -Well, she's the only one I know that can eat raw Energon for charging energy.- Ratchet broke the silent atmosphere.

  -She eats what?- Raph who finally decided to speak up with Miko in chorus.

"Raw Energon." Jack answered for other Autobots.

  -But Rachet said raw Energon was poison to Cybertronian, and Forbidden Child's a Con so she must be a Cybertronian too, right?-

  -Yes, she's Cybertronian, but strangely, to Forbidden, raw energon isn't poison. It's the way for her to reach hyper mode. Raw Energon somehow doesn't cause bad effects to her.-

"So... why did Arcee say she's terrible but Optimus Prime negated and said she's miserable?" Asked Jack.

"I had never met her... Some tells she ate other Cybertronian... like Scraplet." Arcee said in disgusting tone, she could feel an electric shiver running through.

-Awesome!- Miko yelled at the comm.

"No, it isn't" Jack frowned while imagining how it would be that Forbidden was enjoying her 'meal' like animal. This almost made he want to be sick. "And why she's miserable, I mean she's Decepticon after all. Don't you mean because she's killed by Megatron for betraying him?"

-Yes. Though it isn't all to conclude. Forbidden was maltreated by other Cybertronian who followed functionalism because of disability to transform and her outliers. And I haven't seen her eating any Cybertronian so I won't believe that legend was true.- Optimus answered.

"What does outlier mean?" Jack titled his head.

-Bibi bibobi...-

"You know I can't understand, don't you?"

-He said it's a kind of special ability which wasn't included in their own function.- Raph explained then added -So it's like supernatural powers, ESP or somethings like that...-

"Functionalism hah... Even Cybertron has discrimination..." Jack mumbled as he looked down at the dusty ground.

"Well, the main point is we have to figure out that this teeth mark belongs to whom or which?" Arcee reminded the others.

There wasn't any feedback after her speech. They were having their own thoughts in mind right now. Then suddenly two alert symptoms together came up on the screen following the warning sounds. Everyone in the base frowned. The sounds pierced through the comm so that even Arcee and Jack could hear them too.

-We've caught two signals of Decepticons above and far from you about 1768m. They're flying in high speed to your position!- Ratchet announced almost shouting into the comm.

A/N: I know, I know, a lot of taking things. Sorry about that and sorry for not updating recently. I'm going to be busier than before so it mightn't be more chapters soon then...
