I hope you guys enjoy this. Yes I did get this idea from Blue Beetle of Young Justice


Chapter 1

"Ugggggg. I'm sooo bored." Jack rolled his eyes. Miko was complaining how there wasn't any 'cons to fight with.

He, Miko, Arcee, and Bulkhead were in a rocky part of South America investigating a small energy signal.

"Don't worry Miko; we're getting closer to it now." Bulkhead told her.

Jack looked up at Arcee. She smiled down at him. "You okay partner?"

"Yea, I just got a weird feeling." Jack wasn't lying, as soon as they got out of the ground bridge, he just felt like something was off. "I'm sure it's nothing."

They all made it to an open rocky area. Full of 'cons. The 'bots took their charges to hide behind rocks.

"All right! Time for some action!" Miko yelled.

"Miko keep quiet." Jack whispered to late. One of the Vehicon troopers heard her and started to shoot in there direction.

"Stay down!" Arcee yelled. She and Bulkhead ran into action. Taking down the 'cons no problem. Miko quickly took out her phone and started taking pictures. Jack pulled her down when a stray bullet come towards them. It hit the rock they were by, blasting Miko and Jack away from each other. Jack crashed into a wall. Miko got up and tried to run to him.

"JACK!" She yelled. She could see he was knocked out. When she was close, she had to jump back. A bunch of rocks came tumbling down when another stray bullet hit the rocks above Jack. "No." Miko whispered.


Jack woke up and shook his head. He put his hand on his forehead. Jack looked around and saw there were rocks all over. Why aren't I crushed? Jack got up and tried to push against the rocks. But they wouldn't move. Jack looked behind him and he could hardly see some wall drawings. He walked up to them and squinted. They all showed a picture of a beetle. What made him curious was one, it was the same beetle over and over again with one huge one in the middle, and two he could tell the language was Cybertronian. He touched the picture of the largest beetle. Right when he did that, it started to glow, along with the smaller ones. A small crack appeared in the wall, opening like a door. Jack peeked in and saw a metal beetle that was like the pictures. It has to be a relic. Jack thought smiling to himself. He took it out of the wall. It was about the same size the key of Vector Sigma. At least when Optimus shrunk it. Jack looked at it closer. All of a sudden it crawled out of his hand and started to climb up his arm like a spider. "What the?" Jack felt the relic climb to the top of his neck and crawl under his shirt. It went down to the center of his spine. Jack let out a blood curdling scream of pain as it attached to him. It felt like his blood was on fire, his bones ached, his heart rate stared to increase, and his head felt ready to explode. He felt something running up his whole body, starting with the back. It felt as though an extra part of skin was growing on him. He screamed again. The last thing he saw was a hint of orange and blue before falling on his knees and sunk to the ground passed out.


Arcee and Bulkhead finished the last of the 'cons. "Well, that was fun." Bulkhead said. He saw Miko trying to push and pull away at a huge rock pile. He and Arcee walked over to her as she fell to her knees and buried her head in them holding back tears.

"Miko? What is it?" Arcee asked. Miko just shook her head sobbing. "Where's Jack?" Arcee asked a little panicked. Miko shook her head again. "No." Arcee started to dig though the rocks. "NO!" Bulkhead started to help her.

All eyes and optics widened at what they saw. A small body that resembled an Insecticon. It was blue, with black hints in it. Its amour was smooth though. Arcee picked him up and slammed him to the wall. "WHERE IS JACK?! WHERE'S THE HUMAN BOY?!" She yelled at him. He didn't open his eyes, just letting out a groan. "WAKE UP 'CON!"

"Arcee?" Bulkhead said.

"WHAT?!"

"Whoever that is, he's giving of the same energy signal of what we were looking for."

"So?"

"Let's take him back to base, see what he knows."

Arcee growled and put the boy down, and sulked off. Bulkhead picked the body up. He sighed. "Ratchet, we need a bridge."


Jack was in the worst pain he ever felt in his life. He looked around and saw he was just in a room with a white light. "Hello? Is anyone there?" Jack heard a voice. "I'm here, and I have a lot to tell you."


Ratchet scanned the body. He observed the screen. He was having trouble. Arcee was pacing back and forth. Raf and Miko looked on the break of a total meltdown, along with June and Agent Fowler. Bulkhead just sat in the corner with 'Bee. Optimus looked down at the beetle like body. He wondered who it was; he noticed its chest moved like it was breathing. It was uneven patterns, like it was in intents pain.

Ratchet did a final scan. He finally was able to get a bio reading using a handheld more advanced scanner. He looked at the screen and couldn't believe what he saw. "By the Allspark."

"What is it?" Arcee asked.

"I, I, I don't believe this." He looked down at the small blue body. "It's a type of amour, but it's not a normal type. It's an add on type. It's giving off an organic heart beat and everything organic. The center seems to be here." He pointed at the scan. "In the middle of the spine." Ratchet hit a few keys. It showed what was under the amour.

"Jack?" Arcee whispered.

"Ratchet, is this true?" Optimus asked.

"It seems so."

"That doesn't make a lick of sense. How could bug amour attach on a human?" Fowler said.

"I agree with you on this one Fowler, scan again it can't be right." Bulkhead agreed.

"I did, it's Jack."

June walked to the edge of the living room area. "Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"So what now?" Bumblebee asked.

"We wait."


Jack groaned, clenching his fist in pain. He opened his eyes slowly, everything seemed bright. It seemed orange, he blinked a few times and everything came back to normal color. He sat up putting his hand to his head.

"Jack?" Jack looked up and saw Optimus standing there.

"Optimus? What?" Jack shook his head trying to remember. He looked around. "Where is everyone?"

"They are in the main area."

"Where are we then?"

"We are in my corroders; I wished to speak with you in privet first."

Jack looked around and saw the berth was larger than he thought. Jack looked at his hands and saw there where armored blue and black. "So, it wasn't a dream." Jack mumbled to himself.

"What did you say?"

"Nothing."

"I know this may be shocking to you Jack, but somehow accent Cybertronian armor attached to you."

"I know."

Optimus raised an eyebrow and knelt down to Jack now face to face. "What do you mean?"

"I'd like explain it to everyone; I don't want to repeat it."

"Very well. Do you require assents."

Jack grabbed his hip. "Yea, hold on." He hissed though his teeth. He took a breath. Optimus' optics widened as he saw Jacks armor retract, it all seemed to go to his back, to the center of the amour Ratchet told them. Jack grinded his teeth, it hurt like hell. He looked at his hands and saw they were normal. Jack tried to sit up, but fell back down dizzy. Optimus gentle picked him up in his servo and pulled to his chest to let Jack have something to lean his back on. "Thanks." Jack murmured a little embarrassed.

Optimus smiled down at him as they walked down the halls. "There is nothing to be embarrassed about Jack, you are injured and required help." Jack returned the smile.

"JACK!" Raf and Miko yelled when they saw them walk in the main area. Jack twitched a bit, the loud nose causing his headache to worsen. Optimus noticed.

"Please try to be quiet. Jack is still not feeling well." Optimus asked nicely. He put Jack down. Agent Fowler put Jack's arm around his shoulder.

"Easy their son." He helped to the medical bay. Jack's mother was there. When he sat down, she hugged him.

"I'm so glad you're safe."

"Me too." Jack looked up and saw his partner. Jack smiled.

"So, what's it like? You got super powers? Can you fly? How'd you get rid of your amour? How?"

Agent Fowler covered her mouth. "Thanks." Jack muttered. Does she always ask this many questions? "Yea, you'll get used to it."

"Jack who are you talking too?" Ratchet asked.

Jack blushed. He rubbed the back of his neck. Jack started to try to take his shirt off, his mom helped him. "This." He turned around a bit to show them what was on his spine. Every optic and eye widened. On his spine was a metal blue beetle, it's arms and legs attached to his skin and spine. His skin around it looked bruised.

"Wow." Almost everyone said.

"I'm guessing I have some explaining to due, right?"

Everyone nodded their heads.

"It's called The Scarab of Eon. It's an artificial intelligence. I found it when I was trapped under the rocks. It hears almost everything I hear, and almost everything I see it sees. Since it's attached to my spine, it's also attached to my brain. It can talk to me, sadly the only way I can talk back is aloud."

"How do you know?"

"It said it taught me subconscious when I was asleep." Everyone looked at him in shock, he noticed 'Bee and Raf's eyes where the largest.

"Oh and it can translate almost any language." Jack said face palming himself.

"Okay what I'm I saying now?" Jack looked at Miko, who just spook Japanese. Translating.

"Dude, that's amazing!" Miko yelled when he talked back in Japanese. Jack flinched.

"Jack, are you alright?" June asked putting her hand on her son's shoulder.

"Yea, headache, I'll explain later. Can I just finish so I can go to sleep?" June nodded smiling.

"Anyway, it told me that a long, LONG, time ago. Primis saw that a world created by chaos would become a target of war from his children. He didn't know if any good would be there to protect the people there. So he told some Prime called Solus to make two sets of armor to send to the world. Solus watched all the creatures on Cybertron, and was inspired by the Insecticons. So she made, what the Scarab calls, a more civilized version of amour."

"Wait sets?" Arcee asked.

Jack paused for minute, his head tilted, making him look like he was listing to someone. "It says it doesn't remember much, his memory is a little confused. Its landing was a little hard. Plus the first people who found him tried to open him up, but ended up hiding its secrets."

"So you're not the first one to wear it?"

Jack tilted his head again. "Scarab says I am the first one. He said he would sense if someone was 'worthy'." Jack put air quotes, he didn't think he was.

"How'd it pick you?"

"Scarab says he picked up a strange signal that had my DNA in it when I got back from Cybertron, that's why he took his cloaking off. Says the signal came from Vector Sigma."

"Dude, that's freaky. I'm so jealous!" Miko yelled. "Oh, sorry." She saw Jack flinch.

Optimus knelt down to Jack. "Why are you in pain?"

"It says Solus didn't expect the host body to be young, and organic. It's gonna take the Scarab some time to adapt, and me." Jack grabbed his side.

Optimus got up. "Very well, no more questions. It is late."

Miko and Raf said good bye and drove off with their partners. June put her hand on Jack's knee. "I have pain killers in the car, would you like some?"

"Yes." Jack breathed out grabbing his side again. Your creator seems kind. "Thanks." Jack whispered. What happened to her male partner? "I'd rather not talk about it." Very well.

June came back and gave him the medicine and a bottled water she had in the car. "I bet it's annoying huh?"

"What do you mean?"

"Having a voice in your head?"

"It's not that bad, he said he likes you." Jack mumbled.

June laughed. "Well thank you Scarab, or do you prefer Eon?" She joked.

Your creator needs to work on her comedy.

Jack laughed a bit.

"What it say?" June smiled and shook her head when he told her.

Jack looked at Agent Fowler. I suggest you speak to him, he seems worried.

"You okay Agent Fowler?"

Agent Fowler sighed and walked over to him. "Is there any way you can get it off?"

"Not unless you want me to die or it to be destroyed. If I go, it goes to. So it doesn't go in the wrong hands. Why?"

"This is gonna be a secret then. I'm NOT reporting anything about this. They'll want to meet you and try to make you into some crazy super solider or something."

Give him our thanks.

"Thanks."

"Indeed Agent Fowler." Prime agreed. He looked over to the medical officer. "Ratchet, would it be safe for Jack to stay at home?"

"I'm not sure. The Decepticons could pick up his energy signal."

Jack laughed. "I forgot to tell you a cool trick. Eon can hid and block any signal near him. Life or cell phone."

"That's amazing." Ratchet muttered. "Very well. But I don't suggest riding with Arcee, with the pain you're in, I'm not sure it's very safe."

I agree with the medic.

"I follow you and June then, just to be safe." Arcee said. She transformed and activated her Holo-gram. Agent Fowler helped Jack into June's car.

"Optimus? What do you think of all this?" Ratchet asked.

"I am unsure. We will have to patient."


"Jack." June nudged her son's shoulder. He fell asleep almost as soon as they left the base. "Jack, honey were home."

Jack breathed and opened his eyes. "Hmm, oh, right sorry." He mumbled. He opened the car door and stumbled out.

"You need help?"

"I got it. I need to stretch. Night Arcee."

"Night Jack. Feel better."

June followed Jack to his room. "I don't think you should go to school tomorrow."

"Yea, I think your right."

June kissed his forehead. "Good night Jack." She said walking out.

What is school?

"It's were we go to learn stuff."

Such as?

"Math, Science, History, all kinds of stuff."

Sounds intriguing. I suppose if you go, you won't be the only one learning new things.

Jack chuckled. Jack smelled himself. "Hey would it be safe for me to take a shower?"

A shower is when you clean yourself with water. Correct?

"Yea."

I am waterproof, do not worry. I am almost certain it will help you with your pain.

Jack got off his bed and walked to the bathroom attached to his room. "Uhh, is there any way you can, you know, shut off."

Oh, I understand. You do not wish for me to see your personal areas. I am sorry; I cannot.

Jack faced palmed himself. Why should he be embarrassed? "All right, it is your body now too."

I will keep quiet.

"Thanks."

When Jack was finished, he did feel better. He lied down in bed with his shirt off. He was very hot. Note to self, ask mom for a fan. He couldn't sleep.

Are you all right Jackson Darby?

"Fine, just having trouble sleeping. You don't have to call me by my full name though."

I am sorry; I understand this is a hard time for you. But I have noticed something very special about you and your friends.

"What?"

You do not treat each other as a team, but like a family.

"Wow, I didn't know a computer could think like that."

The longer I stay with a host; I gain more of a personality. I do envy you for that.

"Thanks."

If I may ask, what are they like?

"Well, you know my mom. Miko is the girl who asked all the questions, she can be a handful, and a little annoying. She is fearless, and isn't afraid to sneak into a battle."

I do not know if I will get along with her. I will be interested to see her bravery.

"Yea, she'll grow on you though. She's Bulkhead's partner. Bulkhead was the green one. He's not the smartest of the 'bots, but he is the strongest. He's like a second dad to Miko.

I will also be interested to see how he deals with the battles of handling a femme like her.

Jack chuckled. "Ratchet's the team's medic. He can be grouchy. But he does have a sensitive side; you just have to dig it out of him."

Hmm, I do not know what to think of him yet.

"Yea, he can be a bit complicated. Arcee's my partner."

Yes, the motorcycle seems very much like you.

"Yea, she's great. Like the older sister I never had. But she does have a sad past." Jack told Eon about Tailgate and Cliffjumper.

She must be strong. I envy her as well. Who were the young ones?

"Raf was the human. You'll like him. Kids a genius. He's hacked systems of all kinds; also helps hide all traces of the 'bots. Little shy though."

Is he the medic's partner?

"No, but Ratchet seems to like him the best. Bumblebee's his partner. He and 'Bee are like brothers. Raf was the only human who could understand 'Bee. Well before we meet."

How come he cannot speak?

Jack told him how 'Bee lost his voice box.

Impressive. What about the Agent?

"He's alright. Caring if you can get it out of him. Kinda hard to explain."

I noticed he seemed intrigued by your creator.

Jack laughed. "Please don't make me think about that."

Oh yes, creators have their own ways are doing things. I will change the topic. What about the Prime on your team?

"Optimus is great. He's like the dad of our little family. He's caring, but he keeps his emotions in check. Really smart too."

He was the one who choose you to go to Vector Sigma?

"Yep." Jack yawned

I suggest rest Jackson Darby. I need it as well. Good night.

"Uh, good night?"

This is gonna take a while to get used to. Jack thought before he fell asleep.
