I know the first chapter was short i'm sorry, I didn't know how it would appear on the site so I will correct that with this one, thanks for the reviews, sorry to disappoint those who want to see junexoptimus but I won't be doing anything like that. so here is the second chapter of Transformers Prime Z
Base
June had just arrived from work and noticed that jack still wasn't back from where he was taking arcee.
Bulkhead and miko had returned and were watching tv together, along with raph and bee.
Optimus walked up with a small but noticeable worried look in his eye, "nurse darby" he said "do you happen to know where jack and arcee are?"
"Don't worry optimus, jack is showing arcee his secret place." she quickly realized what she had said and slapped a hand over her mouth. "I shouldn't have said that."
Too late she realized when she say miko perk up. Miko started to bombard her with questions.
"Jack has a secret place? Where is it? why does he have one? can i see it? what does he do there?"
"Miko stop!" june said forcefully. "Yes, jack has a secret place, no I don't know where it is, I don't know why he has it, you can't go, and I don't know what he does there."
Miko's shoulders dropped in defeat. "Ok, but why would jack keep a secret like that from us?"
"Miko everyone has secrets but in jack case this secret is a family secret, jack is the guardian of something very powerful too powerful to ever be used by anyone, it was passed to him by his grandfather 10 years ago."
"Woah!" Raph said. "So jack is like a temple guardian?"
"Yes in a sense his job is to oversee the protection of a certain artifact and to disappear with it if the need arises. It is that dangerous."
"Why your family?" Ratchet asked.
"Our family was entrusted it be a being known as the guardian of the earth."
"GUARDIAN OF EARTH!" everyone shouted, "Who is the guardian of earth?"
"I don't know he hasn't been seen in thousands of years. For jack to show arcee means that he trusts her more than anyone, even me. which is a little depressing but I know jack has his reasons."
"Is the device that you speak of really so powerful?" Optimus asked.
"On its own no. but combined with the other six it hold the potential to remake the universe in the owners image, they can bring about the wildest dreams of whoever owns them all."
"If they are that powerful why haven't you entrusted them to us?"
"Because then the government would know about them and try to seize them for themselves. They are our responsibility, and our curse. we have been tempted to use them many times before but always we resisted."
"What are they exactly?" Asked optimus.
"I can't tell you." June said and from her tone the others knew they wouldn't get anything else from her. "And don't go asking arcee or jack about it, because I know they won't tell you."
That was the end of the discussion.
Meanwhile, jack and arcee had reached their destination, a small cave in a huge mountain, and within that barren, hard lifeless mountain was a beautiful oasis in the middle of a large cavern, grass, trees and hundreds of animals, and in the center of a huge lake was a small island, and resting on that island was a small ball with four red stars in it.
Arcee was at a lose. "this place is beautiful" she said. is that the drago ball?"
"Yes one of seven but it is my favorite. it reminds me of my grandpa. He entrusted it to me to protect it just as his grandfather and so on."
Wow. this place is amazing arcee thought to herself.
the two sat there and stared out at the lake for what felt like hours until jackes eyes lit up.
"The dragon ball isn't the only reason i brought you here there was something else I wanted to show you, the dragon ball has another guardian besides me, he lives in the lake and this is the time he rises to the surface."
"what is 'he'?" arcee asked.
"watch and see"
there was a sudden ripple in the lake when out of nowhere a gigantic golden scaled carp jumped over the island and back down into the depths.
jack looked at arcee whose mouth was hanging open
"jack what the hell was that?"
"that was the one and only golden carp he's the main reason I hid the dragon ball here, I just love to watch him swim you have to admit he is beautiful."
"yeah, he is we should probably head back."
"Yeah but arcee can you keep this place a secret from everyone?"
"Why?" she asked
"The dragon ball and the oasis are hidden and showing you means that I trust you more than anyone."
Arcee looked at jack whose eyes were full of pride. sighing she said "ok jack i promise."
"Good now lets go home."
the two rode off unaware that about half way back to jack's house a helicopter with a strange symbol on the side started to follow them.
next time, death strikes in the form of an old enemy and team prime loses to her.
