Chapter one: headmaster
Jack Darby sighed. The seventeen year old teen was in the base of the auto bots, it had been a week since the events of nemesis prime and jack wondered when m.e.c.h. will make their next move. Jack was with his partner arcee. The blue, black and white femme was checking out some signal in the base itself. The two volunteered to check it out.
Jack griped the key to vector sigma that optimus gave him. It glowed as bright as a flashlight in his hand. The two walked deep underground and spotted something that gave them pause. It was an iyacon artifact from cybertron! It was a brace that was colored black and had a red gem on the wrist. The two could not believe it they had an artifact in the base the entire time and never knew. Oddly the brace was human sized.
The key to vector sigma glowed and sent out a beam of energon into the brace which suddenly clamped onto jack's wrist. The two stared at the device and said at the same time.
"We need to get ratchet".
The two ran to the main part of the base and got the medic's attention.
"Ratchet we found an iacon artifact but it suddenly clamped onto jack by the key to vector sigma" said arcee as she looked at jack in worry.
"This was what gave off that signal" said jack as he showed the brace on his right arm.
The ambulance themed robot scanned the artifact and jack.
"by the all spark the device was pre-programmed to hone in on the DNA of the one it was meant to be with but why would alpha Trion have jack's DNA programmed in we haven't even met humans until we got to this planet this is some mystery for now jack needs to stay here until we can figure out what that device does" said ratchet.
"Good thing it's now summer" said jack.
Optimus prime the leader of the autobots entered saying they have found the next coordinates for an artifact in the base.
"Bit late optimus it's clamped onto my arm" said jack.
"then I better let you know what that is it is a cybertronian armor that has unknown ability be careful jack even alpha Trion has no clue what that armor does and he made it with an unknown DNA sample primus gave him" said optimus.
"We already figured out it was my DNA optimus" said jack.
"The key of vector sigma had also acted up it sent a beam into the brace" said arcee.
"We also have a new location of another artifact in jasper's dessert right where dreadwings corpse was placed. This time not in that alternate existence so we won't run in with that dark energon fueled terrorcon" said optimus.
"Then let's go the cons wont know what hit them" said bulkhead.
The ground bridge opened and the four bots transformed and went through with miko yet again sneaking along and jack followed to make sure she stayed safe.
Ratchet looked around and asked" miko"
"Miko" confirmed RAF.
The two sighed.
Jack sighed as he managed to find miko and quickly grabbed her and said to her: "you just don't learn do you this is dangerous miko you can get killed out here, think this is not a game" said jack with a glare.
Arcee had heard that and alerted the others.
"He's right miko this is not a game you could be killed in the crossfire, you need to head back" said arcee.
"Oh but that just makes things interesting" said a familiar voice to jack.
"Sailas! Thought you went under ground in hiding" said jack looking above.
"Thank my medics I was able to survive that failed attempt with our transformer but thankfully we managed to retrieve it from the pentagon" said sailas.
The form of nemesis prime rolled into view.
Jack subconsciously tapped the red gem.
Arachnid flew into view and transformed as her army of insecticons swarmed around the place.
"Hello arcee I wonder why you're in this neck of the woods" taunted the spider-bot.
The autobots got ready to fight as jack felt information enter his head.
"Transform!" said jack as cybernetic circuits appeared on his visible skin.
Black armor erupted from the brace and covered jack's body forming a human sized version of a cybertronian body. Blue optics flashed as jack moved into a circuit-su stance.
"Wow did not expect this to activate" said jack as he looked himself over.
On his chest was the autobots insignia.
The bots were shocked and m.e.c.h. was as well.
Miko was delighted as jack looked to her like a robotic fusion of knight and ninja.
Witch surprisingly looked good on him.
Arcee was a bit surprised as well because to her scan jack's organic parts had become cybertronian.
This was impossible no way can jack become a cybertronian by a brace.
But the vision did not disappear it was as real as night and day.
Jack speed to nemesis prime on instinct and called out "head on!"
The vehicle shifted it back into legs and its front became arms and a chest.
The middle turned so the feet face the same as the chest.
The trailer disconnected as jack leaped up becoming a head similar to a certain knight like mecha or the gundam age normal head. It connected and a panel on the chest flipped revealing an autobots insignia.
"Black convoy ready!" said the new addition to the autobots.
Sailas pressed the remote he had to try to keep the man made transformer under his control but nothing happened sans the control short circuiting.
Black convoy got ready as a blade folded out of his arm.
The autobots stared in shock as nemesis or black convoy now looked vastly different now. The mecha was now looking like a knight mixed with the gundam wing age-1 normal with the autobots insignia in white.
His shape was similar to his helmet as well.
The trailer had changed shape to similar to the transformers cybertron version of optimus' trailer. All in all an impressive sight.
"You know this is your fault Sailas you just had to bring my mother into this and try to harm my friends and partner in you quest for power well this ends here I wont let you harm my family again" said black convoy as he leapt and slashed a incecticon.
Arcee was blasting the incecticon left and right.
"you tell him partner and welcome to the team" said Arcee.
Jack nodded but his foot had uncovered another artifact that sent a pulse at the transformers.
Jack felt a slot for something form on his wrist. He looked and on his right wrist was a key hole like slot.
"well that's new seems you got it as well guys' said black convoy as the auto bots tried to fight the combined forces of arachnid and Sailas.
The team was hard pressed. Black convoy had put the artifact into his storage compartment and looked to his trailer.
"I wonder… power station battle mode" called black convoy.
The trailer shifted to a battle station and black convoy got to the turret and started to shoot the incecticon from the sky. The mech soldiers had fled from bulkhead as they tried to take miko but eventually the retreated. Arachnid also retreated with what remained of her troops. Black convoy sighed and gave a smile to his comrades.
"not how I expected my day to go but I am not complaining transform" said black convoy turning back into jack and a altered nemesis prime.
The truck was still black but now looked to be of the Honda modal with the trailer hooked to the cab. The whole thing looked like a fire truck mixed with a ambulance and police cruiser. Heck it even had a police insignia shield with the autobot logo on the trailer. The truck while unique looking was still nothing special to normal people.
"Ratchet open a Ground Bridge we have a lot to talk about that brace and its effect on jack" comed optimus.
"Right optimus also tell miko that she is in a lot of trouble" said ratchet and Raf.
"Just be prepared to scan jack and the vehicle we are bringing with us" said optimus.
The bridge then opened and the group entered with jack driving the new vehicle form of nemesis prime. (end chapter)
