I do not own Transformers
Jasper, Nevada 1:37 am
In the dead of night across the rooftops a shadow blurs in front of the moon.
"First things first, I want to set the record straight"
The shadow leaps from one roof top to the next, invisible to the citizens below.
"First, I'm not a monster, sure I'm capable of monstrous things but isn't everyone?"
Like water the rooftops flow underneath the being's feet as the local hospital comes into view.
"Second, the sun doesn't bother me much. The worst it does is gives me a sun burn or wake me up in the morning. Which is common for most people, am I right?"
The shadowy figure lands softly on the roof of the hospital. As the being rose to its full height not a single detail could be seen as it seemed to be made of the shadows themselves. The strange form quickly entered the medical building undetected.
"Thirdly, I have no problem with silver, in fact I wear a silver skull ring that use to belong to my grandfather."
The shadow move through out the hall unnoticed by staff and patients, only stopping once reaching its destination.
"Fourth, I enjoy garlic on my food."
Sneaking in the inside the room the ghostlike shadow sees its prize. Quickly grabbing several packages as it heard the sound of footsteps coming down the hall.
"Fifth I am nothing like the stereotypes you heard about."
A nurse enters the cold room and picks up an IV of blood then leaves the now empty room.
"I should introduce myself. My name is Jackson Abraham Darby, I'm sixteen and I'm a vampire."
Jasper, Nevada 5: 47 pm
Jack stares down at the beef patty wandering for the thousandth or maybe the millionth time why anyone would eat here. The KO burger wasn't the only fast food place in town and it wasn't the cheapest either. But the one thing he was sure of was KO burger being had the worst tasting food in the town, possibly the country. The buzzing of the drive through brought Jack out of his thoughts. Sighing he walks up to the window.
"Welcome to KO Burger where every burger is burger is a knock out. What would you like to order?" Trying to sound like he like to work there, luckily after saying it so many times it sounded passable. /Maybe I should get an acting job, I seem to have a talent./ Jack thought.
"Yeah how about a couple of burgers and shakes Dorkby." Jack cringed at the voice. Not from pain or fear mind you, but from annoyance.
Vince, the school's quarterback, the "Cool guy" who has a car, and the same kid who bullied him since the first grade. When Jack vampiric blood awoken when he was thirteen he mused over draining the redhead's blood dry, bit he knew it was not only wrong, but would cause more problems than it was worth. So he just put up with the bully and ignored him, but still the thought was comforting.
About an hour later Jack's shift was done and he was locking up for the night. After Vince drove off without paying… again, his manager told him his hours were getting cut. He didn't mind that too much, he hated this place and less he's there the better, the only problem he had was his pay went to helping his mother pay the bills. It may not be much and it wasn't really needed but it took some pressure of his mother.
"There is no possible way this day could get any… whoa." Jack's eyes were drawn to a custom sports motorcycle parked in the front. Its main body was blue with pick highlights.
"Hello beautiful, where have you been on all my life?" Looking around Jack sees no one and mounted the two wheeler.
"What the? How do you have a life pulse?" This confused Jack greatly. Ever since he gained his powers he noticed that all living things give off a warm pulse. It wasn't strong or distracting but it was noticeable. He started calling it the life pulse, of course he didn't know what is was really called, after all he haven't met any other vampires so no one can correct him.
Before the young vampire could question any further a voice interrupts. "Jack?" Turning he sees a certain red head. "Since when did you get a motorcycle?"
"Ah Serria, uh" Of course this red head Jack didn't mind seeing, but wish he didn't have to talk to. The girl was none other but Serria, she was the school's queen bee, the head cheerleader and Jack had a small crush on her. /I swear if I ever meet the guy who said vampires are natural cassanovas and romantics I'm going to have them take a cat scan." Let it be known Jack could do many things but one of them wasn't talking to girls.
"Well you see I don't, it's not mine really I'm just…" / Come on Jack think of something before she thinks your stealing it or a fantasying idiot. Which you actually are. /
"Oh you're on a test drive then." / Thank you God! / "Yeah I was just about to head back to the dealer."
Little did either to them know the motorcycle in question was near to having a panic attack. / A life pulse? Does he know I'm not really a motorcycle? No, impossible. He couldn't possibly know, but what is a life pulse. Could all humans feel it? If that's true then why didn't Fowler warn us? / Before it could continue it's inner monolog three identical black and purple muscle cars pull up near the parking lot. / Scrap. Alright smooth operator it's time to go. /
Without warning the motorcycle revved to life and took itself and Jack away. "Sorry Sierra I have to go. See you in school."
"Hang on kid." "So you are alive." "We'll talk about that later right now you're in danger." "What how?" / Oh my god please tell me it's not vampire hunters, I may never have meant another vampire but I know since I exist they may as well. / "Behind us."
Looking back the blood drinker saw three identical muscle cars coming after them. But what really caught his attention was the absence of drivers. Realization struck Jack like lightening. "Their after you. And their after me now because I'm with you."
"Sorry." / Good going Arcee you put a human in danger because of your own self loathing. /
"No worries, besides I always was prepared for guilt by association, although not the way I originally thought." "What's that suppose to mean?"
Before he could respond a bolt of energy flash by his head. Looking back Jack saw the three were now blasting at them. "Lazars, they shoot lazars." "Fragging cons. Optimus is going to tear me out for blowing my cover. Hold on!"
Two of the pursuers got in front of them while the last one was going to try and ram them. Just was it was about to a black and yellow umbra 500 slammed into the malevolent car. "Friend of yours?" "No, family" Seeing an opening between the two in front the motorcycle sped forward trying to gain some distance.
The chase continued for another fifteen minutes until they reached the town's drainage ditch. Just then the muscle cars did something Jack never would have expected. Each one transformed into identical robots.
"Get off now." Fallowing the bike's orders she transformed like the other three, but there were obvious differences. She was slightly shorter and had less armor but looked like she was built for speed. Looking at him she only said one thing. "I don't exist, tell anyone about me and I'll hunt you down."
/ Okay… I did not picture this happening when I woke up this morning. I mean who would picture riding a motorcycle that turns into a… wait that would mean I groped her. I am soooo dead. /
Jack could only watch as the blue femme take the three head on. It was incredible; she seemed to be dancing around as she dodge blaster fire and punches. One manage to get behind her and was bout to strike but a yellow and black blur crashed into the vile drone. The blur turned out to be another robot, it was taller than the blue one and had a bit more armor. Its main color scheme was yellow with black racing stripes. Jack realized this was the umbra from earlier.
/ Ok I see where this is heading, I need to get out of here before even more show up. / This would be easy. While the giant robots were fighting each other the young vampire would use his paranormal speed and to run away as far as possible, get home, rest, and never go near a car for the rest of his life. It was a simple and flawless plan, except for one little detail.
That detail was Rafael. Jack seen him around their school, he was a child prodigy. Only twelve and yet a high school freshmen. Rafael was average height for a twelve year old; he had hazel brown eyes with red glasses and lightly spiked brown hair. His clothing consisted of an orange sweater vest with a white button up underneath it and blue pants. But the most important thing about him was the fact he was standing right there with a RC car at his feet. / How the Hell did I not notice him?!/ Jack screamed in his head.
CLANG! Jack turned around to see one of the three muscle car robots was coming towards them. Turning back to the pre-teen Jack bolted forward, grabbed the boy and high tailed it out of there.
/ Damn it, I can't run at full speed or else Raf will get suspicious, but if I don't that pile of scarp metal will catch us. / Jack thought as he tried not to pick up speed. Leaving the younger teen never dare to cross the teen's mind. At a young age his parents taught him the meaning of honor, duty, and responsibility and the idea of leaving Raf against that thing sicken him.
Clang! Clang! Clang! With each of the robots foot steps fear slowly consume Jack so much he didn't notice his own speed picked up. Looking back he realized the bot was running at them its hand reaching down to grab them. Jack's eye's widen with terror. "Leave us alone!"
Instinctively Jack shot out his hand. The moment his arm was at full length shadows begun to form around his arm and shot out towards the surprised drone, the shadows came together and formed a spear impaling the drone through the spark chamber.
The two teens could only stare in shock as the shadows disperse and the drone crashed down in the ground. Raf, after regaining his ability to speak, turned to Jack with a look of awe. "How did you do that?"
"I have no idea." It was true, while Jack always knew he could manipulate the shadows but never have he tried to attack someone with them. Shaking out of his shock Jack spotted an escape route. It was one of drainage pipes that lead to the town's sewers, big enough for them to get in but not the robots behind them. "This way!"
Still carrying Raf over his shoulder, Jack sprinted to safety. Quickly he got them both into the pipeline and out of harms way. Yet what the two of them missed was a green SUV outside that witnessed the entire thing.
Shifting into drive the vehicle drove up to the blue and yellow bots as they finished of the final two drones.
Turning to the SUV the blue one spoke. "Bulkhead did you stop the con from harming the humans?"
The SUV transformed into his true form. He was bigger then the other to, his armor was thicker and more dense for heavier fire. "Well Arcee it's hard to believe."
The now identified Arcee narrowed her optics at the mech. "What do you mean, were they harmed?"
"The drone was stopped but it was the older human who did it." The other two just stared at the mech.
("Bulk, they're humans, not only that they're human children. An adult I would be willing to believe and that's if they're armed to the teeth. How could they possibly take down a drone.") the yellow mech beeped.
"I swear on the allspark Bee. I even manage to get a video." During the whole conversation the two wheeler remained quiet, thinking about the day's events. The human figuring out she wasn't normal, the speed she saw him used to get away from the drone and now killing said drone. She didn't know what's going on but she was going to find out.
"Come on you two we need to get to base and tell Optimus about this."
Oh boy Jack just learn a new power and has no idea how to us it, plus the Autobots saw it as well. Things are going to get crazy.
