Tarantulas watched the female Sydia, leave again. She made her way to the jungle, a white blur amongst the green foliage. Staying low and hidden he followed her; watching her converse with another. Moving in closer he suppressed a laugh of glee at the sight of Optimus Primal.
So that is the reason she wishes to join the Maximals.
He watches them converse and Primal leave shortly after. But before the sabre-tooth cat could, Tarantulas dangled in front of her.
“My, my, my. If it isn’t one leader it’s another. I wonder, does Optimus know about your frequents with the tyrant?”
She growled, “No, and he’s not going to. All he needs to know is that I’m meeting him tonight.”
Tarantulas chuckled, “And how do you plan on getting past Megatron?”
Leaving, she answered over her shoulder. “Don’t worry, I can handle him.”
“Famous last words.” The spider muttered.
Going back to his lair he began to download everything he had been able to from Megatron's personal file. It would be awhile, he deduced, to break the encryptions.
A noise alerted him that Sydia had left the base again. He checked the map, her signature was moving quickly back to the jungle. He ignored her, instead turning back to his computer.
“Now this is interesting.”
Megatron's signature showed him beside her. Curious, he opened a channel to her comm.-link.
“Sydia my dear, where have you been?”
The computer finished on the last encryption and began to download. There were some muffled sounds coming from the other end before Megatron spoke again.
“Your beauty surpasses anything I’ve ever seen.”
10 minutes till download is complete.

“You little harlot! Did you take me for a fool? I knew all about the bet. But, I must say, you were quite fun to have around.”

“Goodbye Sydia, do say hello to the Pit for me.”
A sudden gunshot and the link was terminated.
