Hi everyone! Sorry for the late upload, had difficulty writing this chapter in. So sorry in advance for, what i think is the worst chapter in this story so far.

Oh and this takes place during Speed Metal

Chapter 10

"Darby!" a voice called out.

Turning Jack, saw Vince come up to him. Closing his locker, Jack turned back to see Vince was standing right in front of him. Looking at Vince's face up close, the boy still had a few bruises from his confrontation on Wednesday.

"You're going to pay for what you did to me and my boys two days ago." The bully threatened.

"I'd be careful Vince. Do not forget that we're still in school." Jack countered back.

"You're just afraid that your girlfriend isn't here to protect you." Vince said back.

"I'm not afraid of a red headed monkey, who doesn't have the brains to realise that every student and teacher in the hallway is watching you make a fool of yourself." Jack said calmly.

Looking around, Vince then realised that the entire hallway was complete quiet and was watching their exchange. Once he realised this, he slowly backed off away from Jack. Turning back to Jack, he pointed his finger at him.

"You win this round Darby." Vince growled out, before stomping away.

Watching him go, Jack simply shrugged before heading to class.

Getting on Arcee, Jack put on his helmet while Miko got behind him and put on her own helmet. Once she had gotten on, Jack backpedalled from the parking lane and was about to drive off when Vince called them. "Hey, Cherry Moped."

"This Moped has dual carbs and can go to sixty miles per hour in three point five seconds Vince." Jack said, before driving off.

Driving down the road, Jack eventually had to stop in front of a red light. That was when Arcee decided to speak up. "Uh Jack, a lady's vital stats, are her own business."

Without even turning, Jack knew that Miko was smirking at him. "Not a word Miko."

"What? It's not like I didn't just brag about how fast my bike can go." Miko retorted. "Besides, it's not like Vince is going to ask for a race against you."

Before Jack could answer Miko, a honk caught their attention. Turning they saw Vince pull up to them in his car. "Oi, Dorkby! If you think your little bicycle is fast, how about a race?" he goaded.

Jack glared at Vince before sighing. "Two problems with that Vince. One, I have a passenger. Two, not interested."

Seeing the green light, Jack drove off, not looking back at Vince. Continuing to drive, Miko kept trying to convince Jack to do the race. "Come on Jack." She whined. "You can show him whose boss."

"Miko, don't." Jack argued back. "My dad once said that we should never abuse our abilities for personal gain. Especially horse power. Besides, Vince is just a bully trying to compensate for something he doesn't have."

Jack finished his explanation as he stopped at another red light. Miko, who was laughing at that point, couldn't help but laugh even harder as Vince pulled up next to them again. Jack decided to ignore Vince and just let him speak, not really paying any attention.

"-not only that but it's also ugly. Like your whore of a girlfriend behind you." Jack heard Vince finish as he sped off, leaving a trail of smoke in his wake.

"That's it! The yahoo's going down." Arcee growled out.

Miko, who had stopped laughing after what Vince said agreed. "Seconded."

Jack shook his head and decided to drive up to Vince, who was talking to both Sierra and her friend. Stopping just behind him, Jack called out to him. "Oi Vince! Ready when you are."

Vince who had turned to him, smirked back. "Dirt road by Truckers Ranch. One hour." He stated.

Parked next to each other while Miko stood at where they agreed to finish, Jack was ready to show Vince that he was not to be messed with. Revving Arcee's engines, Sierra, who decided to act as the person to start the race, held her book above her. Once she brought it down, Jack and Vince both shot forward.

Driving down the road, it seemed that Vince was pulling ahead of them. Knowing that they could easily go faster than Vince, Jack looked down at Arcee's dashboard. "Um Arcee?" he asked.

"It's not just about winning Jack. You want to make him cry." Arcee answered as she drove up next to Vince.

Once up next to Vince, Jack gave a wave of his hand before speeding past him and all the way to the finish. Once they reached it, Jack got off Arcee and took off his helmet as Vince finally arrived. Miko who was standing near where Arcee stopped, ran up to Jack and jumped on his back.

"You did it!" Miko exclaimed. "You showed Vince that you're better than him." She finished, kissing him on the cheek as his reward.

"That was just luck. If you want to be in the big leagues, Darby. The Circuit, tomorrow night at eleven pm." Vince explained.

Walking up to Vince, Jack stood in front of him and punched him in the nose. "That's my answer to you Vince." He said before kicking him in the chest, sending Vince to crash on the inside of his car. "That's for calling my girlfriend a whore."

Walking back to Arcee, Jack got on her and was about to put his helmet on but was stopped when Miko gave him a searing kiss on the lips. Once she let go, she shoved Jack his helmet before getting on Arcee and putting on her own helmet. Jack still in a daze, snapped out of it and put on his helmet as Arcee started to make their way to base.

"Optimus and the others must not know about this. Got it?" Arcee told.

"Know about what?" Jack and Miko replied simultaneously.

Working in his lab with Miko drawing on her sketch pad with Anthony on her shoulder watching, Jack was quietly making reservations to the Japanese restaurant that had just opened up in Jasper. Once that was done, he started to work on the Mark VI.

The Mark VI would be a completely different armour from any of his previous armours. For one, the colouring was different. With a lighter shade of gold as the main colour and a darker shade of red for certain areas, the Mark VI or the Autonomous Prehensile Propulsion Suit, was a marvel of engineering.

It was made of a combination of Cybertronian and an advanced Titanium alloy that can resist powerful attacks, including energy attacks that can destroy normal materials. It is reinforced with silicon infused-steel, enhanced composite armour with ceramic plating and an advanced Titanium alloy with high durability, hardness, compressive and tensile strength.

The suit would be newest model that would help the Autobots to fight the Decepticons. While the other suits were useful against the 'cons, they easily were damaged despite the Mark V being made out of pure Cybertronian. He would later realise that though they were made of pure Cybertronian, they were not as strong due to the size difference and how much Jack had to get rid of. While it would last against the normal drones of the Decepticons, more powerful ones, such as Megatron, it would not last for long.

Looking at Miko, who was taking a nap with Anthony on her lap, also taking a nap. He hoped that he did not screw himself up tomorrow and ruin what he had with Miko.

Jack stood in front of where Miko lived, walking up to the front door, he knocked. Waiting for the front door to open, Jack made sure everything was in order. His hands were starting to sweat and he kept checking his watch in nervousness. Once the door opened, he breathed a sigh of relief, only for his breath to be taken away when he saw who was in front of him.

It was Miko. But she was wearing a red dress with black high heels. She decided to forego her usual two pigtails and decided to have her hair in a ponytail. She did not have any makeup on her face, and Jack was glad that she did not as it would have detracted from the beauty that she had, in Jack's opinion.

Smiling, Jack handed the flowers that he held, to her. "For you, Miko." He said.

Miko took the flowers gratefully and kissed him on the cheek. "Their beautiful Jack. Thank you."

Smiling, Jack held his arm out to her, to which Miko looped her own through his, as they proceeded to the car that Jack had borrowed from his mother. Opening the door for her, Jack helped her into the car before making his way to the driver's seat. Once he was in, Jack drove off towards their destination.

Once they had arrived and was brought to their table, Jack looked at the menu and was left clueless on what to have. Looking at Miko, Jack saw that she was biting her upper lip in concentration. After a minute, it looked like she had made a decision on what to have, while he still did not know what he wanted. Quickly looking back at the menu, Jack still could not decide on what to have.

Suddenly his menu was taken away by Miko, who had an impish smile on her. "Having trouble deciding on what to have, Jack?" she asked.

"No." Jack answered quickly, before looking down. "Yes."

Miko giggled at him and took his hand in hers. "Don't worry about dinner Jack. The fact that you brought me out is good enough." She said as Jack looked up at her.

Jack smiled back at her. "I though you would like to feel a little closer to home." He said.

Just as Miko was about to reply, the waiter arrived to take their order. "And what would you two like to have this evening?" He asked with a smile.

"I think I'll have the Spicy Ramen with chicken, and iced tea to drink." Miko told, as the waiter took down the order before looking at Jack.

"I'll have what she's having." Jack replied. The waiter nodded, jotting something down on his notepad before taking their menus and leaving.

Walking out of the restaurant, Jack and Miko got in the car and drove towards their next destination. While on their way there, Anthony decided to spend some time with Miko by just sitting on her lap and letting the girl pat his head and tell him a story, something that she had only started a few days ago. At times, Jack would find her with Anthony regaling him with stories of the 'bots saving the day, other times it was Bulkhead who was doing the storytelling.

When they had arrived, it was a slight cliff overlooking Jasper. While it was not exactly the best place to end the date off, it at least had a nice view of the small town they lived in. As Jack and Miko got out of the car and walked over to the edge of the cliff, they looked at the town and just let their minds wonder, with Anthony on Miko's shoulder.

Turning to Miko, Jack smiled before walking a little ways off, to one of the large boulders around them. Noticing him going somewhere, Miko started to follow. "Jack where are you going."

"Stay right there!" Jack cried back. "And close your eyes. I have a surprise for you."

Miko looked at Jack for moment before doing as he instructed. While waiting, she could hear the sound of metal footsteps, like the sound of when Jack walks around in his suit. She started feeling excited, wondering if she was going to get her own suit. She suddenly felt Jack covering her eyes with his hands and guiding her forward.

"Jack? Where are we going?" she asked.

"Don't worry, it's all part of the surprise." Jack answered.

After walking for a minute, Jack took his hands away to show Miko what he was hiding. It was an Iron Man suit, but with some major differences. For one it had a different colour palate with purple replacing the normal red and silver for the gold. Other differences include less weaponry and more suited medical duties. While the suit was originally made for his mother, Jack knew that she would not always be with them when in need, so he adjusted the height and size to fit Miko.

"I don't get it?" Miko asked.

Chuckling, Jack took a hold of Miko's hand and brought her closer to the suit. "Miko Nakadai! Allow me to introduce you to the Armoured Emergencies and Rescue Suit! The suit is used for when an Autobot or human is in need of medical treatment fast. The suit is designed to provide just that, with state-of-the-art medical scanners and other devices, it is the ideal suit in case of emergencies. And it's yours." Jack explained, finishing off with a smile.

Miko did not say anything for a full minute, before squealing like giddy school girl and started jumping up and down. Anthony who was trying to hold on to, finally flew off Miko's shoulder and towards the suit's helmet. Miko, who had stopped jumping, suddenly hugged Jack.

"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" Miko repeated herself.

Laughing, Jack petted the top of her head and hugged back. "Okay Miko, that's quite enough hugging now. Miko please let go. Can't breathe." Jack wheezed out as Miko's hugged tighter.

Letting go, Miko giggled, before going to the suit. Once she reached the suit, she turned back to Jack. "Can I try it?" she asked.

Jack simply shook his head. "Not tonight."

"Awwww." Miko whined.

Chuckling, Jack transformed the suit into a back pack before taking it with him and made his way to the car. Turning back, Jack spoke to Miko. "Come on. Last thing I want is for your host parents to call the cops on me."

As they made their way back home, Jack was formulating on a training schedule for Miko, one that would help her learn about her suits abilities. As he was doing this, a car that Jack recognised as Vince's was being chased by a red sports car that was shooting at him. Recognising the car as the vehicle mode of the Decepticon medic, Knock Out, Jack quickly followed in pursuit.

"Whoa! Jack, what are you doing?!" Miko yelled.

"That's Vince and Knock Out is chasing him. We've got to help him." Jack said back. "Anthony Gauntlet Mode." He told as he held out his left arm.

Complying quickly, Anthony got on Jack's arm and transformed. Once done, Jack brought the car door window down and stuck his arm out. Taking aim while driving, Jack fired a few shots at Knock Out, some of them connecting, sending the Decepticon tumbling and Vince to escape.

Pulling the car over while Anthony transformed back into his scraplet mode and joined Miko, Jack took his backpack suit that he had brought and got out of the car and made his way to the upside down Decepticon. As he made his way to Knock Out, who had transformed into his robot mode, he pressed the centre button on his chest and was in his suit by the time he made his way to the Decepticon.

"What are you doing here Knock Out?" Jack asked.

"Well, well, well. If it isn't one of Optimus' human pets." Knock Out mocked. "Starscream will reward me greatly when I bring you to him." He finished as he made a grab for Jack.

Moving out of the way, Jack held his weapons at the ready. "Not going to happen." He said.

Firing repulsor shots at the Decepticon, Jack flew around him, making sure to stay away from his reach. Knock Out, who was trying to grab on to Jack finally had enough and transformed into his vehicle mode and drove off. Stopping his fire, Jack looked on as Knock Out drove away, before landing on the round and made his way back to the car, keeping the suit back into its backpack form.

Getting in the car, Jack started to drive Miko back home. Said girl for some reason kept quiet, something that she was not really known for. "Something on your mind Miko?" he asked.

"Nothing, Jack." Miko replied.

Looking at her from the corner of his eyes, Jack just shrugged before he went back to looking at the road.

Stopping in front of Miko's house, Jack got out of the car and opened the door for Miko to get out. Walking with her until the steps, Jack looked at Miko once again, before turning back and started to make his way to the car. As he was about to do so though, Miko grabbed on to his forearm, making him stop and turn back. Only to feel Miko's lips on his own.

Despite them being in a relationship, and them sharing their fair share of kisses, the one that Miko was giving to Jack, made his head spin from the amount of passion that was in it. Kissing back, Jack's hands slowly made their way to Miko's back, bringing them closer. Drawing back, Jack looked at Miko and smiled.

"Thank you Jack, for the wonderful evening we had." Miko said before sauntering her way back inside, her hips swaying from side to side.

Shaking his head to get rid of the less than decent thought out of his head, Jack looked back as the door closed and smiled before making his back to the car, whistling all the way home.

Like i said, crappy chapter. But i hope some of you enjoyed that train wreck.

Now to answer questions:

Transfsand: Somewhat. Yes Jack will meet Fury, But not in the way you think.

CapMarvel88: His father was a commando. he picked up a few things from his father. But most of his fighting lessons, comes from fighting the Decepticons.

Again, any questions, just leave them in the reviews. If you have anything you want to say about this chapter, please do.

Goodbye and have an awesome day!
