The time was roughly in the afternoon in Jasper, Nevada, with Jack walking home from school. The reason for this was simply because Arcee was called back to base for an Energon scouting mission, and his ten-speed had a flat tire so he couldn't ride it to school, leaving him no choice but to walk home from school. Not that he minded, since he's done this before, it wasn't like anything was going to happen to him right?

Oh how wrong he was.

"This has got to be one of the worst day of my life" Jack said to himself as he walked down the street."First I fall out of bed and land flat on my face, Second, I burn my breakfast, and half to go to school hungry, not to mention having to eat the cafeteria food."

He shuddered at that.

"Third, I arrive late to school and receive extra homework because of it, Fourth, I sprain my ankle because Vince trips me, and I happen to fall down a set of stairs, Fifth, Arcee has to go to base, leaving me to walk home without a bike, not that I mind that much." He kicked a small pebble away from him as he went.

"Can this day get any worse?"

He received his answer in the form of a familiar sound of loud, shifting gears, and a crash right behind him, making the ground

"I had to ask didn't I?"

He quickly turned around to see his reflection on Soundwave's visor.

"Ah crap."

Jack quickly turned on his heels and started running down the streets with Soundwave right behind him. Jack's heart pounded as he quickly grabbed his phone from his pocket. He barely dodged one of Soundwave's tentacles as he tried calling the Autobot's, hoping that SOMEONE would pick up, and they finally did.

"Hello?" Ratchet's voice said.

"RATCHET! NO TIME TO EXPLAIN, I'M BEING CHASED BY SOUNDWAVE, GET SOMEONE OVER HERE NOW!" Jack yelled.

"YOUR'RE WHAT!?" Ratchet's voice shouted, "don't worry, I'm sending the others now, just keep-" Jack never got to hear the rest as he was grabbed by one of Soundwave's tentacles, causing him to drop the phone.

"AHHH!" Jack screamed as he was lifted up. He felt himself going higher and higher, until he once again found himself staring at his reflection on Soundwave's visor. Soundwave than wrapped a tentacle around his arms, legs, and neck. Jack than heard a recording play from Soundwave.

"Bring me the human known as Jack Darby...alive" he heard Megatron's voice say.

Eyes widening in shock, and panic spreading through him like a virus, Jack immediately began thrashing, trying desperately to escape Soundwave's grip, only to feel the tentacle around his neck tighten. Jack could hardly breathe as his vision start to darken. Soon, everything turned to white, and then complete darkness as he succumbed to unconsciousness.

Soundwave watched as the human fell limp in his grip, and after checking his pulse to make sure he was alive, he transformed and took off into the sky.

Woohoo! my take On 'Jack's Curse', What do you guys think?
