WARNING: This chapter has a bit of sexual assault in it, there's no rape so don't worry about that. There's just some touchy-feely from a certain mech that can't keep his servos to himself. -_-

Darkness was all Arcee could see all around her. She couldn't feel any more pain. Was she dead? Did Megatron actually kill her? No, she can't be dead, Megatron didn't beat her up that badly. Besides, she knows the well of AllSparks isn't an empty void, she would be seeing lights right now and Primus if she actually was dead. She starts feeling confused and a bit scared because she doesn't know what's happening. Then a light appears in front of her which scares her more, she becomes even more confused when she sees her two dead partners, Cliffjumper and Tailgate. They both come through the light and stand in front of her, smiling at her. Her confusion turns to happiness as she runs to them and hugs them, so happy to see them. Then fear takes her again as she realizes that if she's seeing them then she is for sure dead.
Tailgate chuckles as he starts speaking, "You're not dead, Arcee."
Arcee looks at him in confusion, "Then how am I seeing you two?"
"You're trapped in your subconscious. Megatron beat you until you blacked out and so you're here until you wake up," Cliffjumper chimed in.
"...I see..."
"Since we're basically part of your thoughts you're able to see us in this state...." Tailgate said before taking a pause. He got this concerned look on his face as he continued, "Also we asked for permission to come talk to you while you were in this state so we can warn you..."
Arcee looked between the two as worry started to fill her, especially when she noticed that Cliffjumper had a concerned look just like Tailgate did. She mustards up the courage to ask the question, "Warn me about what?"
Tailgate and Cliffjumper look at each other then back to Arcee, "We believe that soon the Decepticons will do something to you that could make you lose yourself and forget who you are as an Autobot for good," Tailgate replies with sorrow in his tone. The thought of Arcee going through such things pains both him and Cliffjumper, and the thought of them not being able to do anything to stop it and protect her pains them even more.
"You must fight, Arcee. Fight to keep your true self," Cliffjumper adds.
Arcee starts feeling even more scared after hearing this but she keeps her composure and won't show any signs of her fear. But she has to ask, "What do the Decepticons plan on doing to me?"
"We don't know for sure. All we know is that it's something that could make you lose yourself as an Autobot and become a Decepticon for the rest of your life unless you fight against it," Tailgate responds.
"You must fight back, Arcee. Fight back with all of your might. We believe in you, we know you can do it. Find a way to get back to Team Prime," Cliffjumper puts in just before the two turn around to go back to the light.
"I will fight, I promise," Arcee says as she watches them return to the light. 
The two turn to look at her one last time and smile at her, "It's time for you to wake up now," they both say as they disappear into the light.
Arcee watches them disappear and then feels a tug as she finds herself heading for a light as well. She soon wakes up to flashes of light shining into her optics, the light goes away and she can see she's on a medical berth in Med Bay on the Nemesis with Knock Out right in front of her. The surge of pain instantly hits her as she becomes more aware, she wishes she was still in the black void. She looks down to look at herself and notices she's strapped down to the berth, which is no surprise since she is an enemy and she's no longer under their control.
