Chapter 2
Rise of the Lion
Sorry this took so long. The chapter got deleted during some updates to my computor. Now, on to the reviews.
Dragon Force Ranger: Thanks for your suggestions and stay tuned till the end.
guest 1: Okay, harem it is.
guest 2: Hope this one is to your liking.
Smart Kira: Thanks. I will.
GreyKing46: I feel that both Leobreaker and Cheetor fit Jack well. But Leobreaker would fit better leading them.
guest 3: Went back and fixed that.
Cf96: Okay.
animefan 29: I pmed you on your issues and thanks for reviewing.
bleach1990: Here it is. Hope you like it.
RenaTamer: I don't hate Silverbolt. I just don't think he fits with Jack. Also the big thing with Arcee will be learning to trust Airachnid.
RD: I did not know that. I just picked Leobreaker cause he's awesome.
Jacob Deitz: Probably gonna do that. And hope you like the update.
Code R.R: Thanks
Mazamba: Okay, making it a harem. Also, I like Jack x Miko as well. Also love Jack x Arcee.
Alright then... Let's kick it up!
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
Arcee was sitting in her quarters, still distraught over the events of the day. "I should have been faster." She said in a whisper as Optimus came up to her and put a warm fatherly hand on her shoulder.
"There was nothing that any of us could have done. Those creatures caught us all off guard." Optimus said.
"And that's supposed to comfort me?" Arcee snapped. "You basically just told me that Jack is likely dead because none of us were good enough to protect him!" She shouted before realising what she was doing. "O...Optimus I...I'm sorry. It's just..." Optimus placed his hand on her shoulder once more before she could finish.
"It is alright Arcee. I understand, and I assure we will find him." Optimus assured the fem.
"Yeah, we will." Arcee said trying to convince herself of that more than anything. "So... how did the humans take it when you told them what happened?" She asked as the Prime let out a sigh.
"They are all grieving in their own ways." Optimus said before going on to explain what he meant. "Bulkhead and Wheeljack have taken Miko for what the three of them call 'Therapeutic destruction'. Rapheal has been completely entranced in his computer. Agent Fowler has requested his superiors to increase surveillance to locate the Decepticons." He explained.
"And what about June?" Arcee asked in concern for the mother of her partner.
"I showed her the footage of the incident and she believes as I do. Those creatures were clearly attempting to capture Jackson without harming him." Optimus explained before his eyes became softer. "She is also quite concerned about you.
"Tell her I'll be fine and that I promise her that I will find Jack." Arcee said as her confidence began to rise. 'And that promise goes out to you partner... Where ever you are' She thought as though sending a telepathic message to Jack. Not knowing that where he was, a chain of events was being set in motion that would change everything forever.
(Gamma Q's ship in orbit above Earth)
Jack had just woken up in an energy cage. He looked around his enviroment to see if any thing coul be found to help him escape. However instead of finding escape path, he found a certain spiderbot strapped to a table nearby.
"Airachnid?" Jack asked as he tried to get up before being held back by some sort of energy chains.
"Jack? What's going on?" Airachinid asked while struggling to get loose.
"Wish I knew." Jack replied. "One minute I'm in the Autobot base looking at. some of the artifacts..." Jack stumbled not wanting Airachinid to know what or who he was really looking at. " Next thing I know, you start beeping and a bunch of land shark things came through a ground bridge and grabbed the both of us." He explained before Airachnids optics went wide.
"Land sharks? Oh no. Oh no!" Airachnid was very clearly showing panic.
"What's the matter?" Jack asked knowing that what ever could get Airachnid worried did not bode well for him.
"I believe that would be me." Gamma Q said as he walked out of the shadows with his pharaoh face forward.
"Gamma Q." Airachnid snarled at the Quintesson.
"You don't seem to be to pleased to see me, Airachnid." Gamma Q said after shifting to a female looking face. "And to think. After all I've done for you." He said putting his tendril across her chin.
"Get away from her!" Jack shouted shocking both Airachnid and himself at his concern. Gamma Q's face then shifted back to the pharaoh one.
"Ah yes, the human." Gamma Q said before walking up in front of the energy cage and his face shifted back to the female looking one. "You really do have quite the spirit." He said as his face shifted to his demonic one. "That will do you well as a Predacon." He said surprising Airachnid and confusing Jack. Gamma Q then switched to a blue face with bull horns and what appeared to be a goatee. "Sharkticons. Place the boy in the CR chamber. I will place the spider in hers myself." He said as his shark like robots grabbed the still restrained Jack and placed him in the middle pod of three with Airachnid being placed in the pod to his right. "Now don't worry this wont hurt..." Gamma Q said before switching to his demonic face. "Much." He said before cackling as he pulled down a lever.
As the lever was pulled a yellow liquid poured in to the chambers. Within Airachnids pod, the fem was enduring agonizing pain as the legs on her back became thicker, she began grow spear like extensions on her elbows and the four horns on her helmet morphed in to a more gladiator like design with a red hourglass looking shape on the forehead.
Meanwhile within Jack's pod, he endured equal if not greater pain as his body began to shift with his bones cracking and growing, his flesh and organs began to become metallic, his blood being replaced with energon, and finally his heart being replaced with a spark. As Jacke lied within the pod, he began to hear something with his new audio receptors. It sounded like... crying.
Out side of the pods Gamma Q was feeling quite pleased with his work. That is until he heard his computor speak. "Warning, Shell Program deleted. Core consciousness of subject Airachnid online." Both Gamma Q and Jack heard the computer say.
"No matter. I shall just make another shell program. And this time, I'll make her completely loyal to Megatron." Gamma Q said with his pharaoh head.
"No... you... WON'T!" Jack called as he burst from the pod and grabbed Gamma Q before throwing him in to his lab table causing his serum to roll under random point across the room. The Sharkticons then rushed at Jack but in the adrenalin rush he was in none of them even touched him as he kept throwing them away before one of them his a control console and the ship began to fall from orbit.
'Such power. It's a shame he won't survive the crash.' Gamma Q thought as he opened a space bridge back to Cybertron.
As Jack recovered from his adrenalin rush, he noticed the ship was picking up speed and falling down to earth. Jack ran over to the pod still holding Airachnid and opened it causing the now fully techno organic spider bot to fall in to his arms. "Are you okay?" He asked as Airachnid began to stand up.
"I... I'm okay." She responded in a low voice, both happy to free of the Shell program and Guilty over everything it made her do.
"Do you think you can fly this thing?" He asked leading her to the controls. Airachnid regained her composure and looked over the readouts.
"We're falling to fast for me to regain any altitude. Best I can do is steer us away from any populated areas and pray to Primus we survive." She said getting a nod from Jack as she started to redirect the ship causing them to land in a large area surrounded by a tall circular wall naturally formed rock. Once they were sure the ship had landed safely, they stepped out and climbed the rocks to see where they were. "Anything look familiar?" Airachnid asked.
"I think we're in the African savanna." Jack said as he noticed a lion stalking a wildebeest. An idea then came to him as he began to scan the lion. As he did this, gold claws grew on his arms and legs before folding up on his forearms and shins, brownish gold armor surrounded his chest, and he gained a helmet with 2 horns on the back holding brown hair in the middle. Jack then transformed in to his new beast mode and let out a loud roar. Jack then smiled and got another idea. "These new skills might need a new name." He suggested.
"You have something in mind?" Airachnid asked.
"Yeah. Just call me..." He began before transforming back in to robot mode and smirked. "Leobreaker."
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
Well, there you go. Hope you liked it. Okay, just for the record. Airachnid will start going by Blackarachnia. Alright, now down to business. I've been getting some votes for who to make Raf and Miko and I've all but decided on making them Rhinox and a rule sixtythreed Cheetor. Nothing final yet but Raf will have to be decided in the next chapter or two. Also anyone want me to turn Optimus in to Optimal Optimus? Please vote in the reviews and until next time... Keep on keeping on.
