This story happens about 2 months after "Dark Encounters". This is just a start to upcoming BW fics by me. 

In his twisted CPU Megatron had decided to forge an earthquake, and with it start his plans of domination. For all the time the Preds were not in activity combating the Maximals, Megatron had scanned and studied their new defense grid, Teletron Sentinel. Finding the necessary information he needed Megatron instructed Tarantulas to start work on a virus, one which would  put Teletron Sentinel into his control. The devious arachnid despised to have to work for the tyrant but he had decided to give in this time, besides that the new knowledge he gained would benefit himself nicely. Within in the two months of relapse the spider was successful in getting the damaging virus Megatron desired to put his plan into full swing.

"Tarantulas report, how is the virus construction advancing?" The massive Predacon leader scratched his chin as he chimed in their comlink. From his laire Tarantulas reluctantly spoke, "All is in readiness Megatron. Teletron Sentinel won’t know what hit it." The arachnid chuckled out his stammered laugh as he always did. "Are the flyers ready with the explosives ready?"  "Indeed, they are in postion just a few feet from the Maximal scanners, all that is needed is your consent and they will move in." Megatron widened his wry grin, "Very well proceed, and make sure this works Tarantulas." "As you command......" Tarantulas coldly and sarcastically remarked.

Flashing and beeping away before him, Rhinox sat in the command room in front of his station, the warm white glow of the screen glimming off of his green metal. He was alone in the room, not even knowing where the main majority of his comrades, let alone his leader, were. Scanning the perimeter was his main concern, figuring that with such low Pred activity that Megatron was no doubt up to something. Optimus’ comlink fuzzed in, the energon interferance was too strong for a few seconds until Rhinox finally heard his commander, "Base camp this is Optimus Primal, I need assistance, the Predacons have reconstructed a jamming tower and I need help to demolish it and bring back the debris." "Acknowledged Optimus, hold on a microsecond while I check the postion of our fleet." Typing in some codes, Rhinox located all of the Maximals’ postions on one screen. "I’ll send Cheetor, Dinobot and Slasher Red to aid you Optimus." The comlink buzzed off as Optimus acknowledged his understanding of the link. With the screen still showing the locations of all the Maximals, Rhinox looked out for Cheetor and the two raptors’ locations. Cheetor was just about 30 clicks from Optimus while Slasher Red and Dinobot were still within the Axalon. He contacted all three but only got an acknowledgement from Cheetor. Waiting for their call Rhinox viewed the screen again. Polar Claw, Tigatron and Snowstalker were all in the Arctic Outpost. Snowblaze and Prowl were in the Axalon, both in Prowl’s quarters, <I don’t even want to process what they’re doing.> Rhinox thought to himself. Rattrapp and Airazor were in the mess hall. No answer came from the raptors. 
Sighing Rhinox got to his feet and viewed their postion, they were in the simulation room, there was his answer to no response from them. He moved his large frame down to the lower levels of the Axalon and he reached the Sim room. When he opened the door he had to duck from a laser blast. The comotion inside the room was Dinobot and Slasher Red fighting fake battle opponents, their sparing ended when Red gave a gasp and shouted "End Program." She had realised that they would have totalled Rhinox. Lifting an optic ridge Rhinox told of Optimus after which he gave a short lived sigh. The two raptors put their electron swords into sub space and passed by Rhinox as he still stood in the door. He watched them leave, Red intentedly followed Dinobot, but she looked back and blinked only one optic at him. The green male stood there in the hallway with a disbelieving glare on his face until he decided to go to the Core to look up on the defense grid upgrade stasis.

The two raptors transformed to beast mode as the pair stepped off the man lift, both starting to run off in the direction of their leader. Nearby three Predacons were in wait to set the explosives. They were Inferno, Terrorsaur, and Blackarachnia. The black widow held the virus in her grasp and the others had the explosives. Megatron had anticipated this, his plan was to set up the explosives which would cause the Axalon to shift and crash to half the side of the cliff, while the Maximals are attending to the problem, one of the Predacons will infiltrate their base and put the virus into the systems, rendering the Axalon under his control. For once the virus is in place Teletron Sentinel would respond only to him, and the Maximals will be under attack by their own defense grid. Inferno and Terrorsaur moved to either side of the Axalon, placing the explosives into the ground at the right location. Inferno set off the timer and the explosives went off, they sent deep trembles down to the fault underlying the Axalon, to create a major shift in the earth crust, swaying the ground beneath its base wildly. 

The impact made the Axalon grind in a metal sounding scream, its supports now not present on the right side made the base rock and sway. Prowl and Snowblaze heard the blast as did all the other Maximals who were within the Axalon. Prowl and Snowblaze felt the room they were in tilt to the side and the floor shift so it was turning down, the Axalon was shifting and moving down to one side. The metal supports outside groaned under the new pressure and they broke, letting the upper weight they beared come crashing down to the rock hard ground, the supports snapped in half like toothpicks. Rhinox still in the hallway brased himself as the turning came to a giagantic crash. The right side of the Axalon hit an enormous rock on the way down and the impact cut into the side metal plating of the ship’s outer layer, leaving a gaping hole in one side. As the Predacons watched the ship descend, Blackarachnia took the momment to race over to the newly created hole and infiltrate the Axalon. Finally an audio shattering CRASH and BLAM were heard for several mega quadrents away. 

The shapnel to the entrance was all the she spider had to worry about, she knew that the crash had knocked some of the Maximals offline for a nanoclick or two so she took out her cross bow and started toward the Core, the virus in her hands. 

Prowl blinked his optics once and gave a groan as he lifted himself up, Snowblaze and himself had fallen. The pain in his head made him wince but he shunned it away as his first priority jammed in. He lifted his head fast to scower the room, he saw Snowblaze on her stomach, face down on the floor. She had taken a major hit to the head when one of the ceiling beams fell to hit her in the back of the head and knock her unconscience. He widened his optics with worry and scrambled to his feet ignoring his own pain, he ran to her side and picked up the injured femme. Prowl placed his mate on his recharge berth and he shook her still form gentely. "Snowy can you hear me? Please answer me!!" The male was beginning to have worry envelope him when she didn’t respond and her optics still a faint dark blue of nothing. He shook her more, still nothing. Activating his comlink he despretely called for Rhinox. The scientist answered him in a dazed state as he came back online. "Rhinox, you got to help me. Snowblaze was hit in the back of her head now she’s not even responding to me, haul you ass over here pronto!!" The desprete tone to his voice shook Rhinox and sent cold tingles down his servo fluids "On my way!"

The she spider made her way to the Core, just a few more corridors to go and she was homefree.The access port to the center of the Axalon was heavily guarded with a force shield, only openable by a security pass code. She blasted the code box and the force shield shimmered away for about 2 minutes. Enough time for her to enter the Core. She gazed at the sight before her, the Axalon Core was a marvel of technological advancement. She found the defense grid system controls and backup systems. Going straight to her work she quickly entered the virus into the Maximal systems. Laughing to herself, Blackarachnia raised her arms in content achievment. As she left the Core and re-entered the corridor, she felt pain jet from her arm as a laser blast made major damage to her circuitry. The Predacon femme glance up at her assailants. There were Rattrapp and Airazor, guns pointed straight at her. "Don’t even move." Rattrapp held his blaster tightly as he pointed his target right between her optics. Blackarachnia stiffened and she felt a smirk on her face as the alarms in the Axalon suddenly went off. 

"Intruder Alert! Maximals within Axalon. Preparing for termination." The monotone voice of the Maximal computer chimmed out its warning. "What in the galaxy?" Rattrapp asked. For the brief moment he paused to say the words the Predacon femme turned and left the way she came. 
"Slag! We’ve got to get to Rhinox and the others or we’re toast! This Sentinel is even more powerful then the last." Airazor and Rattrapp turned and went toward Rhinox’s location.

Hearing the alarms go off, Prowl clutched Snowblaze’s limp form even closer to his chest. "Please wake up Snowy, we need you." Rhinox finally entered the room, seeing the black and silver Maximal male grasping the limp femme in his arms. "I don’t know what’s going on but we have to get out of here! Bring Snowblaze and let’s move!" Prowl obediently followed the command and he picked up Snowblaze in his arms, he nuzzled her head once and then let a shuttered sigh escape his mouth. He got up and started to run behind Rhinox. The two managed to exit and they both left via the man lift. On  the outside the three Maximals stayed to view the Axalon, Rattrapp and Airazor were trapped inside the base as the perimeter shield went up. Still alarms going off and they heard something which made their energon flows run cold. Megatron’s laughter filling their audios.
