Prime squad: sequel to "The Birthday Boy"
Chapter one
Three weeks after Jack's birthday.
The human members of team Prime stood in the training room with their weapons ready.
Each one had a pistol of their choosing.
Jack had been placed as the leader of the "small" team, due to the fact that his father was in the military and was the leader of the war unit previous to his death, and Optimus said he would be the best choice for the position.
Jack didn't argue, but he didn't agree ether. He remembered the conversation he had earlier with Optimus about being in charge.
"Are you sure I'm the best choice for leading them, I mean what about Fowler?" Jack asked the Autobot leader.
"While he would be the better choice in leading this team, he wouldn't be the best choice as a permeant commander, Why? You may ask, he won't always be here to lead you, and I trust your judgement, if you are anything like your father you will do everything to ensure your team's survival, and success." Optimus replied.
Jack looked at the environment as the holoforms of Decepticons stood before them.
He closed his eyes and remembered what Ratchet said,
"one burst from anyone of your weapons will offline a Decepticon, remember to concentrate your fire, while your gun won't over heat, it will become extremely difficult for you to hit your mark with the recoil of the blaster." The medic said while talking about the weapons for every human.
"No two blasters are the same, and as such you shouldn't treat 'em the same, although it would be useful for you all to get acquainted with all of the weapons, that option will remain solely on you."
"Now, if you need to, I have installed a 'rapid-fire' mechanism on all of your weapons, if semi-automatic fire is to slow for the situation you are in, just hit the button on the side, and you get fully-automatic fire."
"get the pattern of you weapon down quickly, you'll never know when you'll need it, between M.E.C.H. and the Decepticons, the threat will always be present, so keeping your weapon on standby is an absolute must"
This is the second training session that "Prime Squad" has had, and they were ready to rock and roll.
The clock counted down to the start of the simulation, the team checked their weapons one more time.
They were ready.
The session began and all hell broke loose as the team tore through the holoforms like a hot knife to warm butter.
Command center after the team's training session.
"Good job Prime Squad, that was by far more efficient than the first time you went through the simulation." Optimus said to the team that he was proud to call as allies.
"Keep it up and we won't just have four warriors on the field." Arcee said, also proud her charge's team.
"Just remember, the 'cons will not underestimate you twice, the first time should be enough for us to end them completely." Ratchet said.
Team Prime has official grown it strength in numbers as well as will power. And every one of them were feeling it. Especially Optimus.
"That is all for now, you are dismissed." Optimus said.
"Think I am going to it a day and go home." Jack said stretching.
"I think I'll join you on that number." Sierra said.
Three weeks has passed since Jack and Sierra started dating. And believe it or not, the rest of the school kind of saw it coming.
The day after Jack's birthday was probably the most unusual to say the least, with the exception of Vince whom was his typical self, the-punk-that-deservers-a-knuckle-sandwich, towards Jack which he gladly served up on a silver platter towards the bully, which resulted in Jack getting commended rather than suspended for holding it back for so long.
The crack that echoed across the school halls had every one froze to their spots as Vince hit the ground with an audible thud.
An applause filed the hall after Vince hit the floor. Even the administration had no pity on the said boy, he did, after all, deserve it, so they too joined in the cheering.
Jack walked away rubbing the pain from his fist, Vince was the ultimately a victim of his own tyranny. And the way Jack walked away seemed like he just didn't care. And truthfully, he really didn't, but the fact remained, he did give Vince that token of gratitude from the behalf of the entire school body. So yeah, no hard feelings.
Sierra sat down next to Jack on the couch, and laid her head on his shoulder.
Jack didn't do anything but excepted the motion, in fact, he wrapped his arm around the girl, and soon the where both asleep.
Three hours later Jack awoke to a crash by the terminal.
"Ratchet! are you alright?" Jack asked after jumping out from underneath Sierra (boy that sounds bad), and scrambling to get to the terminal to see if one-half of the medical team was okay and uninjured.
"Slag that was pleasant, I now know another test not to take on synthetic energon until it is completely stable." Ratchet said as the smoke cleared.
"What where you trying to do?" Jack asked.
"I was working on a formula for the synth-En, a 'non-flammable' formula so to speak." Ratchet said as he started to clean up his failed experiment.
"Do you need some help?" Jack said.
"The best help you can give me right now is getting yourself and the other humans off of the base premises, for your safety." If Jack heard correctly, he could have sworn he heard fear in the C.M.O.'s voice.
"Alright, I'll gather everyone." Jack said.
As he left the imitated area, he walked over to his slumbering girlfriend (who was still asleep surprisingly) and started to wake her up.
"Good afternoon sleeping beauty, have a nice nap?" Jack said with a smirk.
"Oh, so that's where my pillow went." Sierra said bluntly, she too was smiling, it made Jack feel good to her smile like that.
"Come on, Prime squad is evacuating the base, Ratchet is working on an experiment that might be a hazard to our health." Jack said as calmly as possible.
"Okay, but where is everyone else?" Sierra said.
"I think I know…" Jack said.
Training room
Raf, Miko, and June stood side-by-side, shooting targets to get aim improved.
Jack and Sierra approached the trio careful not to spook them.
"Disengage shooting range." Jack order teltran one.
"Disengaging." The computer replied.
The three turned to see Jack and Sierra standing at the entry of the training room.
"Good shooting y'all, but we gotta go, Ratchet is working on something that we may not want to be here for." Jack said coolly.
The other members nodded, and made their way to the ground-bridge terminal.
Later, Darby residence.
The Darby's, Sierra, Raf, and Miko sat in the living room, contemplating their next course of action (rather it be of action or rest).
Jack was the first to break the silence, "How about a movie?" He asked.
"Star Wars?" Raf offered.
"The Clone Wars! I haven't seen any of those yet!" Miko exclaimed.
Nods of went around the room.
"Star Wars: The Clone Wars. It is then!" Jack said, as he went to grab the remote to launch Netflix.
Little did they know, there was a scout standing outside of the Darby's house looking in on the small team.
The hooded scout lifted a communicator to his ear.
"General Organa, I found the team you were looking for, what are your orders for contact of the squad leader?" The figure asked his commanding officer.
"Stay in the shadows for now, wait for reinforcements, or the first order to arrive at that planet, and then we will make contact with them and the Autobots, or you will have to warn them." The former princess said to her scout.
"Yes General." The scout said. As he disconnected the "call". He looked in on the team again, he couldn't wait to meet his general's younger Sister, and Nephew.
resistance star fleet (background music: the throne room)
General Organa smiled, she was woman in her mid to late 50's, and she was a proud leader of the resistance.
"Attention! All Ships, prep your Hyperdrives for a long hall, we're going to a distant planet on the other side of the galaxy."
"Where are we going General? If you don't mind me asking?" one of the Admirals asked.
"We are going to see my little sister, and my nephew." Leia said.
All of the starship admirals said the same thing, "oh!"
"All ships prepare for light speed!" Leia ordered.
Several seconds later a collective hum field the area of space, and as fast as lightning, the fleet vanished into the distance.
Surprise! I bet none of you, saw that coming! I am proud to say this though, I can't wait to hear what you guys have to say about this!
So I am completely going off the deep end with my imagination and some of you are of no doubt probably already wandering If Jack is going to be Force sensitive, as well as June, they most likely will be (considering where the rest of their family stand in that matter)
But anyway, thank you guys so much for reading this chapter if you liked it, let me know in the comment section below and I'll see y'all later.
