7 years after

by Uniflame600

Years after the autoboots return to cybertron the three kids reunite and take over the base but jack's past threatens everything when he has to send a distress call to the autobots

7 Years after the war and when the autobots went to cybertron.

DANNY

I'll do a quick recap for the years before everything gets crazy, okay so when the auto bots left everyone was miserable but they carried on with there lives, jack finished high school and went into the army specialising in weapons, miko finished school a year later and turned into a thrill seeking junky, jumping out of planes, blowing stuff up you know miko things, and raf being a genius finished school early and went to M.I.T to study electronics, technology, hacking the hole shabang. Lastly ratchet got quite bored from no wars to fight and two years after the auto bots left he joined them. Jack did three years in the army, training and fighting, miko destroyed things, and raf became a computer expert. However they were all still in contact with each other and there auto bots. After jack left the army he went around the world training and mastering weapons training and mastering a bunch of different close combat skills, before he returned to jasper and joining as an official agent. Raf stayed at the base with miko, miko going on a few missions in her apex armour and raf controlling the space bridge and just hacking everything. After 5 years doing there own thing, they all decided to have a reunion and get together. At this point jack had mastered every fighting skill he could and could use nearly every weapon perfectly, even knife throwing. Raf had made his own database letting him know if there was any alien activity or danger and miko trained on a simulation that jack and raf made for her for an any case scenario. It had been 5 years since the auto bots left and seen each other, 6 years for jack. The famous trio were so excited to see each other and to brag about what they'd done, they just couldn't wait. Raf and Miko hadn't left jasper unless they were studying well raf left for a year then returned and miko stayed just customising the base.

Raf and Miko were already at the base when they got a text from jack saying he was 2 hours out and at this point they just had huge grins, there older brother not by blood but by bond was coming home, they didn't know where he'd been, what he'd been doing, if he even looked the same like was he a blonde now? The only contact they had was when jack called. Jack had changed and had been through a lot in the 5 years without telling anybody, he had called to say his mother was dead, he didn't say she was murdered, he didn't call to say about his father kidnapping him and experimenting on him giving him enhanced abilities and he hadn't told them he was gay, he hadn't told them anything. Jack was on his motorcycle on his way to jasper, he loved his motorcycle he had made it himself of course adding a few hidden things here and there, but jack loved it, it was his handy work. Jack just got into town when he heard someone crying out for help in an alley way. He of course got off his bike and made his way over, he was shocked to see that Vince was still beating people up, vince was attacking a boy a little younger than raf, he was barely conscious and was bleeding a lot, jack sprinted over with his inhuman speed and caught vince's next punch aimed at the boy with power. Vince looked up and what he saw shocked him, jack darby the skinny loser from high school, but now he was taller, muscular, cooler, vince gulped and waited, jack checked the boy's pulse with his other hand and noticed it was fading, jack quickly beat up vince so he had enough time to get the boy help. Jack picked up the boy in a bridal style way and ran to his bike, putting his earpiece in and calling the base, whilst rushing with the boy in his arms to base on his motorcycle.

"Hey jack!" miko said excitedly

"Hey guys, we can catch up later, I need you to get the med bay ready, im coming in hot" jack said

They did as they were told slightly panicking wondering if jack was injured, only to find he wasn't. Jack zoomed in on his black and shiny motorcycle skidding to a holt with the boy in his arms and ran to the med bay placing the boy on a gurney. Jack ignoring the shocked stares he was getting from raf and miko and pulled of the boys shirt, making it look easy. The boy was covered in blood, now unconscious, without hesitating he got to work, jack had spent months training in lots of medic camps, now he could even do surgery, jack found the bleed and completed a bit of surgery to stop it, when the boy stabilized he let out a deep breath and relaxed a bit letting the boy sleep. Now he would be bombarded by questions. However he got none, raf and miko were still frozen from shock. Jack clapped loudly in front of them snapping them back to reality. "You guys okay?" he asked softly, then they instantly hugged him. "JACK! That was awesome, how did you learn to do that?" miko asked, "I trained in medical while I was gone" he said trying not to brag, then miko noticed him fully after she had taken a step back, he looked hot. She examined him deeply, he was wearing black army boots with black jeans and a white short sleeved shirt with his dog tags around his neck, he had taken his leather jacket of before he stabilized the boy now showing his muscles and a few battle scars on his arms, he was taller too she noticed and had a strong jaw line, his eyes were the same and his hair was now fully black which had grown a bit and it really suited him, he had a scar across he left cheek just under his eye going to his chin, miko was impressed, the skinny kid was now taller, muscular and handsome. Raf had noticed it to. Jack went over to the duffel bag he had shipped over and took out another white shirt. He then took of his blood stained shirt and put on the new one, showing of his 8 pack and more battle scars, jack was really hot. Jack noticed them staring and became slightly uncomfortable "Okay what is it, why are you staring?" jack slightly irritated said looking at the two teens, he was now 21 with miko being 19 and raf 16. Jack then examined them, they had also gotten taller, raf still had orange hair but now had black glasses, he had sneakers, jeans and a nerd shirt on, making jack smile a little at how he hadn't changed, miko was taller and still a little skinny, she now had one ponytail instead of two, still with hot pink streaks at the back and still in her goth look. They caught up for a bit telling jack about the adventures, missions and things they had done whilst he was away and they couldn't stop smiling, then it was jacks turn, he was about to start talking when he heard the boy grown as he started to wake up. Jack made his way over. They boy slowly opened his eyes and started to panic not knowing where he was then he saw a kind of familiar face "calm down, we wont hurt you, how are you feeling?" jack asked checking the boy over. The boys face they realised, that was the guy who saved him, shock and realisation showed over his face and jack noticed showing a small smile. "You, you saved me" he said stating a point, "yeah I did, vince is apparently still a jerk, you were bleeding quite a bit and were in a lot of pain and barely conscious so I brought you hear and patched you up" jack said softly to the boy making sure he knew he was safe. "Im jack by the way, (he then pointed to the two teens goofing around) and that's raf and miko" he said laughing at the two messing around. "Im Danny, nice to meet you" danny said looking at jack and smiling. "Alright now you get some rest, ill check on you later and if you need anything just ask" jack said and walked to the teens. "So the new guy what's his name, how'd you find him, is he staying?" miko rushing to jack with questions. "shh, he's resting, his name is danny, he was being attacked by vince and if he wants he can stay" jack said holding a finger to his mouth to try and keep miko quiet. She got the message and nodded at jack before returning to raf in conversation.

The next day

Everybody but Danny was awake until he suddenly heard someone shouting "Jack! You here!?" It echoed throughout the base, danny not being able to figure out who was yelling sat up and watched. A man in a suit marched in "JACK!" yelling trying to find jack. Jack walked up to him with a smile, fowler returned the smile and rushed hugging jack, "fowler, cant brea...the" jack just managed to say before being put down. "Sorry, but you've been gone for a while" fowler said straightening his tie, then he noticed Danny. "Who's this?" fowler asked walking to danny jack and the teens following. "That's Danny, he was hurt so I brought him here and patched him up" jack said getting an upraised eyebrow from fowler "so you know first aid now?" fowler asked "yes" jack replied simply. "Nice to meet you danny, you've found a good bunch here" fowler said to the boy before taking jack by the shoulder and walking him to somewhere more private. All the teens watched in confusion, curiosity mostly wondering about what they were talking about. Jack and fowler had walked into a see through office but they couldn't hear so they just watched, they were in deep conversation, then jack got out some blue prints showing fowler who nodding in agreement, then more talking, then more blueprints, then some laughing then a hand shake and they came out.

"Jack lets go continue our conversation we had a few weeks ago" taking jack by the shoulder to the soundproof office.

"Okay what have you got for me?" fowler asked jack seeing a smile on his face

"I've spent quite a lot of time on these, and it was hard keeping it a secret from miko" jack said getting a blueprint out of his bag, he opened it and lied it on the table.

"WOW, you've made a master piece and even put in protocols and security, jack you've outdone yourself, I'll start adding all this to the empty base you had us make" fowler said smiling at jack not noticing he wasn't done.

"So I was reading some of the mission reports and noticed miko is struggling, so its just an idea but I was thinking I upgrade the apex armour, adding blasters, blades and a jet pack" he said watching fowler thinking it through.

"I think its a brilliant idea, but she will need training in her new suit" fowler said looking at jack.

"I know but I think its worth it" jack replied

"Lastly I was hoping for permission to add this to the new base, (got out a schematic) its a jet ship, in case we need a quick escape or if were doing a surveillance mission or need to fly, I can pilot it, but I think it would be a real help" jack said looking at fowler, who was deep in thought

"I agree, if you say you will pilot it, I will get it made and put in the base" fowler said

They talked a bit more then "okay Agent Darby, I will get this all ready, you work on the suit and lets go tell them the news" fowler said, shaking his hand, then they came out.

Everybody was still watching with curiosity and the two men walked to towards them. "Okay gang listen up me and jack have some news" fowler said looking at jack.

"Say hello to Special Agent Darby" fowler said with a prideful smile and clapping, jack smiled and the kids clapped then noticed they weren't finished.

"Ive also given fowler new base plans and schematics for the ultimate upgrade and miko I'm going to be weaponising your suit" jack said, miko instantly squealed making everyone grab there ears, before rushing to jack "what did you have in mind? Machine gun? Sword? Grenades?" miko said excitedly. "Its a surprise miko, ill start working on it tomorrow" jack replied to annoy miko. "This new base what's security like?" raf asked "ive added lots of security and fowler is going to show you the technical parts for you input" jack said getting a pleased smile from raf. Jack then backed up next to fowler and said "The base will be ready in two weeks, so you should start packing" he said looking at them, then going next to danny. "This might all sound a bit strange to you, but I would like to keep an eye on you and help with your recovery, so id be pleased if you come with us" jack said softly to danny, danny then instantly knew he was safe, he didn't know why but he trusted jack and was drawn to him. "Um sure, but you need to explain what it is you do" danny said to jack getting a smile, he then looked at raf "hey raf, can you explain to danny what it is we do" raf nodded then went to danny, were they were both full of conversation. "So jack how did you get the scars?" miko asked curiously "im not quite ready to talk about it miko, sorry" jack replied softly, miko nodded and went of to do her own thing. They then all said bye to fowler again with hugs before he left. Jack then took all his stuff to an empty room.

Chapter 2

THE NEW BASE

It had been 2 weeks and everything was packed up, the teens were still happy from jacks return and learning about Danny, but today was the day they see the new base, jack's ultimate upgrade, they couldn't sit still. Fowler was driving them following jack on his motorcycle with his leather jacket and awesome looking helmet which jack had made special with a comm system, night vision and x-ray function. They had been driving for 3 hours when jack pulled over. "Are we here yet?" miko asked, expecting it to be a no "yes we are" jack said laughing slightly at her shock. They all got out of the car looking around but not seeing anything, Jack got back on his motorcycle and the kids in the car, jack then drove to the closest mountain were there was a secret garage activated by a scanner of the person in a vehicle, it scanned the bike, jack, the car and the teens with fowler and the garage opened automatically, closing behind them, they continued driving into the base. It was huge, jack got of his bike and went to the teens all looking around in awe. "How about a tour?" jack said getting there attention, he led them through the hole base saying were things were and what they were for.

"This is the command deck, for briefings, missions and computers…"

"Here is the relax place with games, a tv, sofas and chairs"

"This is the kitchen, fully stocked with everything in case anybody wants to make a full meal"

This corridor it our rooms, if your staying the night or permanently moving in, we all have our own rooms, you can customise, build whatever you want (pointing and naming everyone's room)They also have bathrooms and individual showers"

"This is the group bathroom"

"This is the wreck room to test new weapons or get out your anger out by smashing things also its soundproof yet see-through in case you get injured"

"This is the training room, now DON'T USE A WEAPON YOUR NOT TRAINED IN! You can do simulations and use training weapons so nobody gets hurt but no real weapons unless your a master"

"This is the gym, weights, pull ups, mats everything you can need"

"This is the med bay for auto bots and human"

"And this is the armoury"

"Also the gun range to better your aim"

"Lastly our ship" jack leads them through a door to a huge hanger with an awesome looking ship with guns on and lots of space, jack shows them in the ship and talks about functions, "I will be piloting the ship since I can fly but you can come in anytime" jack says looking at the teens faces who cant stop looking and smiling at everything

Once jack was done with the tour they all split off to look around and get comfortable, jack goes to his room, personalises it, with a weapon wall, a big bed, cabinets and drawers for clothes and a desk and chair with a super high grade laptop and a load of gadgets and papers on the desk. Once he was all set up, he changes into a workout and combat outfit and heads to the gym. Jack hasn't told anybody about his father, what he did, and what happened to him but he knew he would have to soon. Once he was in the gym, he had fowler discretely make him his own equipment because of his enhancements, he went to the pull up bar and did 500 switching between one hand and two every 100, jack found it easy work, so he went to the bench press, he made sure nobody was watching and lifted as much as he could, his strength enhancement makes him 100x stronger so he can basically lift a car without a sweat. Jack then goes to his specially made punching back and punches it until he has enough, he then goes to the training room, he picks up his duel katanas because they were his favourite and he begins practising showing of his skills, he goes through a lot of weapons practising until he was sweating. He decides he had done enough for the day and goes to take a shower. Miko had been in her room going idea crazy, personalising, and giving jack plans for him to build her she then went to the wreck room and started smashing things with a sledge hammer. Raf went to his room and personalised It as well, then he went to relax on the couches watching tv whilst on his laptop. Danny was still with the group, jack was still looking after him and had offered for danny to stay so he agreed, danny was now part of the group and so had his own room, he went in looked around and made it his own, when he finished he left and decided to find jack, he was wondering for a while then heard jack training, curious he stood, hiding and watching, he watched as jack went through a lot of weapons practising making it look easy and showing of, what he didn't know was jack knew he was there from his heightened senses. When jack finished danny quickly hid and went and joined raf watching tv. When jack was back in his normal clothes and leather jacket he went up to the three teens who were watching tv and asked "im going out to get some food anybody want to come?" they all instantly agreed, this time jack got in his car, with all three kids and drove them to a restaurant. They arrived, all ordered and were in a conversation. Jack was looking awkward and uncomfortable like something was on his mind, "what's on you mind jack?" raf asked, now all the teens were looking at jack, he let out a breath and looked at them all, "so fowler asked me to be in charge of the base, like what prime was and I want to accept but before I do and want to check with you all" jack said waiting for a response "YEAH!" they all said at the same time, jack let out a sigh of relief "we would be terrible at it, your the calm and responsible one jack, your the one with leadership qualities and your the most trained" raf said smiling. Everybody went into a laughing conversation again.

When they arrived back at base they all sat and talked more for a bit then all went to there rooms and slept. "SENSORY ALARM ACTIVATED" it blared throughout the base waking everyone up, they all peaked there heads out there rooms at the same time and went to the computers to see what happened, everyone was in there pyjamas, raf in his dressing gown, miko with bed hair and danny looking tired, lastly jack who was topless in pyjama pants. Jack was first to arrive at the computer because his room was closest, "fowlers here" he said at the barely awake teens. Moment later fowler arrived, he looked at the teens and laughed mainly at miko's hair then came over to jack "Jack!, good to see your awake, we have a situation, four insecticons were just spotted in an old mech warehouse, I want you and your team to check it out" fowler said looking again at the sleepy teens. "HEY, WAKE UP YOU HAVE A MISSION!" fowler yells at them scaring them awake and then he bursts out laughing, "I'll wait here with raf and danny listening through the comm and helping" fowler said looking at jack who gave him a nod. Miko sleeping again "MIKO! MISSION!" fowler yells again, this woke her up. The teens all instantly got dressed and made a coffee, danny sat on the couch, raf and fowler at the computers, whilst miko and jack quickly got ready for combat, with some water to the face they were ready. Miko came out wide awake and put on the apex armour which jack had upgraded and this was her first time with the upgrades, jack came out with his duel katanas on his back sheathed in an x, he had grenades, flash-bangs, and circuit disruptors on his belt, he had a combat knife on his ankle and two holstered guns on his side, lastly a put together sniper on him as well. He was wearing black army boots, a reinforced bullet proof vest stealth camo trousers and a combat jacket, with his dog tags under his shirt, when he appeared everybody looked at him with the 'your a badass' face before raf opened the ground bridge and they went through.

"Jack to base, jack to base do you read" jack said through the comm, "we hear you loud and clear" fowlers voice came. "Were arriving at the warehouse now, raf im sending you a feed through a drone, you control it and tell us what you see" jack said, suddenly at base a video feed was on the big screen showing them in position and raf controlled it to see inside, raf, fowler and danny crowded around watching "we only see the four" raf said through the comm, "copy" jack said. "miko you take two, ill take two, call if you need help" he said and she gave him a nod, they then sneaked in and attacked the insecticons, danny and fowler cheering from watching the drone feed. Miko jumped in the air smashing one to the ground whilst charging the other and using her blasters and blades against her two, chopping one in half, she yelled through the comm "wooow take that insecticon scum" everybody laughing at base and they watched her fight the other getting knocked back and pushed after she sliced and punched it. Jack on the other hand went stealthy, whilst his two looked at miko he jumped on the back of one instantly cutting of the head with his katana then leaping to the floor to face off against his other one. The insecticon charged and fired at jack but because of his enhanced speed he was to fast to hit and dodged easily, he was shooting at it and blinding it then threw a circuit disruptor and it collapsed to the ground, jack then took his katanas and cut its head off, his two were down but miko was struggling. She was tired and exhausted from being hit on the ground so much "jack help!" she yelled, everyone was still celebrating jack and his skilful kills when they heard her yell, jack instantly ran to her, leaping as high as he could using his enhancement and landing on the insecticon, it left miko alone noticing jack and started flying around trying to launch him off, jack grabbed a grenade from his belt, took the pin out and put it into the insect were it had no armour "Miko its gonna blow I need you to catch me and run" he yelled through the comm, everyone hearing what he said and watching in suspense, he jumped off the insecticon and landed in miko's hand who was now sprinting like hell as far away as she could. BOOM the warehouse and insecticon exploded "WOOOOOOW" danny yelled everyone now laughing as they saw the hole thing. "Jack to base, can we have a ground bridge" he said relaxing as the bridge opened, the drone flying in after them and closing. The drone flew onto jack's hand and he put it in his pocket. Miko had now put him down and was out of the armour, "JACK YOU WERE AWESOME, you were riding it like a bull" danny said, making everyone smile, "miko needed help so I thought distracting it would be the best solution" he said. "How did you jump so high and hold on for so long?" fowler asked. Jack sighed and gestured for everyone to sit down, so they did. He explained he was captured and experimented on by his father, that he was now a super soldier, explaining his abilities "Im faster than a cheetah, stronger than 100 men, can jump as high as a building, I have heightened senses, I heal quicker than humans, not instantly but twice as fast, and I take a long time to run out of energy" he then tells them how he used them to escape and had to kill his father in self defence because he was called a "monster" and his father tried to kill him giving him the scar on his face. When he finished he looked up and nobody said anything, they just had open mouths and were in shock trying to process what they'd been told. "THAT'S SO COOL, YOUR A SUPERHERO" miko yells making him smile but she got a glare from raf "what happened isn't cool but the result is" she said defending herself. They all asked follow up questions about his abilities until they were satisfied. "Okay so who's up for some breakfast?" fowler asked getting grins from everyone. They all got in fowlers car except jack who was on his motorcycle and went to get breakfast.

Chapter 3

JACKS SECRET

It had been 2 months since the insecticons were spotted and nothing much has happened, a few surveillance missions and everyone going on patrol but nothing interesting, except that jack has been sneaking out, spending nights out and arriving late in the morning, he had a secret and the teens were gonna find out what it was. "We should follow him" miko said to the two boys "what if he's going to fight clubs" raf asked "what If he is just dating someone" danny said, the three of them kept gossiping trying to figure jacks secret out. Today was the scheduled every three months call the autobots day, they were all excited to catch up and brag about there last mission and how cool jack was, and maybe mention his secret. They all gathered around the screen, ratchet had made it that they could video chat from there base to cybertron. The teens picked up first saying high to the auto bots, none of the autobots had seen jack in 5 years and they were excited and were disappointed when he didn't appear.

"Hey bulkhead!" miko yelled with a massive grin

"Hey miko!" he replied smiling

"Hey bumblebee" raf said grinning as well

"Hey raf" he replied smiling

"Where's jack?" arcee asked a little disappointed

"He's been sneaking out lately and wont tell us why or where so we don't know" miko said

Raf noticed that danny was looking uncomfortable at the back of the room. Raf went over to him "hey you okay?" raf asked calming danny down "yeah, just nervous" danny replied, raf took him by the shoulder and walked them both back to the screen. "Hey is optimus there?" raf asked and then optimus came on the screen smiling. "Optimus, autobots this is danny" raf said "nice to meet you" danny replied nervously. "Where'd you find this one?" wheeljack asked "Vince was attacking him and jack saved him and patched him up now he's part of the team" miko said smiling, "So that's where jack was? Training in first aid?" ratchet had appeared now "You should have seen our last mission jack was awesome!" miko said eagerly "we got video of it all I'll send it over" raf replied as he sent it. The autobots watched the video mouths opened at miko and jack fighting then the video ended, bulkhead was laughing "He rided that thing like a bull then blew it up.. hahahahahaha…. And how did miko get the upgrade on the suit?" he asked still laughing "jack made them, cool right?" miko replied. "although since jacks been in charge he's been forcing us all to train in self defence and a little offence" miko said sarcastically "good thinking" optimus replied with pride. "So enough about us, how are all of you?" raf asked

The conversation carried on for hours until the autobots had to go. It was now 3pm and they were all in great moods. "So jack will you finally tell us your secret? Why have you been sneaking out?" danny asked curiously. Jack sighed "you noticed huh? Well I'm dating someone" jack replied. "WHAT? WHO? DO WE KNOW HER? IS SHE CUTE?" miko yelled "No you don't know him" jack replied softly "him?" raf asked "yes raf him, im gay" jack replied, there was silence. "Good for you jack, now when can we meet him?" miko asked quickly. "I don't know but not today" jack replied and walked over to the garage, he took of his leather jacket and went under the car he was fixing to carry on remaking it. The three teens now gossiping again about jacks boyfriend.

Chapter 4

"JACK!" an echoed voice went throughout the base and everyone instantly knew who it was, jack was working on his new almost finished car when he heard fowler, he rolled out from under the car covered in grease and went to were fowler was waiting. "What is it fowler?" jack asked walking towards fowler, "we've picked up a weird energy signature and want you to check it out" fowler said, jack nodded. "TEAM, GATHER AROUND" jack yelled to everyone in the base, they all made there way over to them. "We have a mission, danny, miko your with me raf you stay with fowler and operate the ground bridge" jack said, "everyone suit up and meet me in the ship" jack said with authority. They all quickly suited up and got on the ship, "Jack to base, open the bridge" through the comm. Danny and miko sat down in the ship waiting, jack in the pilot seat flipping switches and pressing buttons. Then the ground bridge opened and they flew through. They were now in the air flying over a crater in the ground, "danny you control the drone, miko be ready at the ships guns in case were not alone" jack said through his comm, they all got into position "Raf, sending feed now" jack said, "receiving" raf replied. Jack was flying around allowing the ship to scan and get data on the object in the crater before landing, "guards up" jack said as he opened the ramp. Danny then said "Raf take control of the drone." Jack, miko and danny walked towards the object watching there surroundings, "hows it looking raf, see anything?" jack asked "no all clear" raf replied. When they got to the object it was glowing slightly "it might be a cybertronian relic that landed late" jack said through the comm. "Danny, miko take it to the ship carefully, im gonna grab a sample to see if its explosive" jack said, they nodded and took it to the ship still watching there surroundings. Jack took a sample "none explosive, raf get the bridge ready" jack said as he made his way to the ship, his senses picked up something behind him, big and moving fast right at him, he grabbed his combat knife turned quick and threw it full power at the insecticon, it died instantly "raf any more insecticons? Miko, danny is it secured?" jack asked "Package secured" miko replied "No more that I can see" raf replied. Jack made his way to the ship and quickly got into the air. "We have bogeys behind us" jack said through the comm "Miko your on guns, blast the insecticons following us" jack said. Within an instant she was sat in the gun seat and lowered down and was blasting the insecticons out of the sky laughing her heard off, "Jack there's to many!" she said. "Danny I need you to pilot, ive taught you the basics" jack said through the comm as he got up and gave danny the stick. Jack walked, grabbed a parachute and put it on his back "Raf how many do you count?" jack said "25 at least" he said "miko hold you fire until you get the signal!" jack now shouting as he was walking down the lowering ramp. "What signal?" miko asked confused, then jack jumped out the ship, "Danny shut the ramp" fowler said through the comm, so he did. Jack had a plan, he jumped out the back of the ship and landed on one of the insecticons, he threw some c4 into it were there was no armour and jumped of onto another one, he jumped on all the insecticons placing c4 in all of them then jumped and pulled his shoot "NOW MIKO!" he yelled through the comm, she shot the insecticons and a chain of explosions happened in the air, everyone watching as there was black smoke and insecticon parts falling to the ground, jack was nowhere to be seen. "Jack you there, I don't have a visual?" raf asked, there was silence for 2 minutes, then he appeared out of the smoke with his parachute "yeah im here, now how about a pick up" jack said. Over the comm you could hear everyone give a sigh of relief and start laughing. Danny brought the ship around and opened the ramp, "THAT WAS AWESOME JACK!" miko yelled still laughing. Jack went and took the stick back "Everyone take a seat" he said and they did, "Danny grab the drone" jack said as the drone flew in and the ramp closing behind him "Okay raf, bridge us home" jack said and a green vortex appeared. Jack then gently landed the ship and opened the ramp. Danny took the object and they all went to the command deck. "Danny place it down over there" jack said pointing to the table. "Raf please say you got all that on video!" miko asked and raf nodded, "PLAY IT!" she said and raf played it, everybody watching whilst jack examined the object.

"Wait on my signal" "What signal"

"Look at him go! He was jumping on them without them noticing!"

BOOM

"WOOOOOOOW!" miko yelled with excitement

"Look at him appear through the smoke, wow" raf said.

Whilst they all excitedly talked about the mission jack was making notes on the relic. "So Jack what do you think it is?" fowler asked and they all crowded around. "From what I can tell, its a cybertronian generator" jack said. "What do insecticons want with it?" danny asked. "I don't think they knew what it was, I think they just saw the cybertronian energy signature, and its a good thing we got it and not them, they could make weapons, power bases, lots of bad things" jack replied. "So what now?" miko asked, jack looked at fowler who didn't have a clue. "For now lets just put it in the vault and have sensors in case anything happens to it" jack replied picking it up, he went to an empty wall and turned a picture frame, opening a secret wall showing the vault. Everyone watching in awe at the secret vault they didn't know existed, jack placed it on a podium and activated security then shut the vault and turning the picture frame back. "Okay, now I can continue on my car" jack said and then went to his car leaving the teens in shock. "Did you know that was there?" raf asked the two teens "nope" miko replied. "Maybe there's more secret rooms and passageways!" she said getting excited, then turning around to see fowler trying not to laugh at there shocked faces, "well he knew" danny said now facing fowler. "Is there more secret rooms?" raf asked fowler. "No just the one" fowler responded. "Alright im off, I'll right my report, call if anything urgent happens" fowler said before getting in his car and driving off. The three teens shrugged off what just happened and watched the video again.

It was then next morning around 6 am and jack was up and in deep thought "I really need to train them more, danny to fly, miko to fight, and raf security protocols". Thinking all this he got to work, Jack waited for it to be 8 am and made them all breakfast, the smell woke them all up and they soon were all sitting waiting at the table. "Alright ive made, toast, bacon, sausages, pancakes and beans" jack said as he placed it all on the table, they soon took what they wanted and dug in, "THIS IS SO GOOD, were did you learn to cook?" miko asked "Miko relax, you need to swallow" jack replied chuckling "I learned from cooking for myself when I was a teenager" he replied. "Anyway once your all done, I want you to pick a skill, im going to train you in it" jack said, they all looked up at him, still stuffing there faces happily. "I want to learn flying with proper skill" danny replied and jack smiled, "I need to learn how to use my upgraded suit better so fighting I guess" miko said. Raf was thinking hard about the question, "I want some gun training, in case the base is under attack" raf said, "all right, ill make a routine for when I'll train you all as well as giving you all your personal time" jack said and they all looked happy and excited. Jack was in his room on his computer creating and coming up with training schedules when he got a knock on his door. "Come in" he said curious as to who it was, then in came danny, he looked nervous and a little scared. Jack noticed this and left what he was doing and welcomed danny in making him feel comfortable and relaxing him.

Danny

'I need to tell jack, but im scared, jack will help he always does, okay im doing it.' Danny had been stood outside jacks door for 5 minutes then he finally knocked, he was shaking slightly with nerves and went in. Jack had instantly noticed his nerves and fear and relaxed him 'I always feel safe and comfortable around jack' he thought to himself as jack calmed him down, jack asked what was on his mind, danny took a gulp and answered "I need your help" Jack was smiling softly at danny reassuring and calming him "My father was just let out of jail for child abuse and for battery against my mother and ive seen him outside my house and following us" danny was starting to cry jack took him in his arms calming him and telling him he was safe.

Jack

'Danny looked terrified when he mentioned his father it must have took him a lot to come to me' jack thought to himself with a crying danny in his arms, jack was rubbing his back calming danny down and saying he was safe. "Im going to be your bodyguard from now on danny, I will protect you if he tries anything, I will also patrol at night to watch over you and your mother" I told him and he instantly broke down in tears hugging me saying thank you. "I will always protect you danny" I said holding the boy in my arms. When the boy calmed down he left my room and I finished the training notes and prepares I was doing, then put on my leather jacket and went to the others.

Jack came out of his room holding a bit of paper, curiously the teens followed and jack placed it on the fridge with a magnet, it had someone's name, a place and time and what they would be taught, each day was something different for all the teens and was about 3 hours long. The three teens looked at each other with satisfied faces and smiled. It was now 6pm, the day was over in a flash and jack was getting on his motorcycle "Danny, you want a ride home?" jack asked calmly and danny suddenly had a huge smile on his face as jack gave him his spare helmet. Nobody had ever been on jacks bike that wasn't jack so for danny this was a big deal. Danny got on the bike behind jack and held onto him tight. He couldn't stop smiling, then jack revved his engine vibrating the bike and drove out of the base "Hold on danny, you don't want to slip off" jack said laughing slightly and danny held on tighter, jack increased his speed and they were gone, jack drove danny home, where he then parked in an alleyway with a perfect view of the entire house and waited. Danny felt safe, when he was in his house he could see jack standing guard protecting him so he relaxed and went to sleep. Because of jacks abilities he didn't get that tired which helped in this scenario. He waited outside hidden in the shadows guarding the house protecting danny and his mother. It was around 4am and still nothing, he was glad he could tell danny hadn't been getting lots of sleep from worry and stress. Jack noticed someone spying on the house, jack watching carefully, then the guy watching the house through a brick at danny's bedroom window and sprinted into the house, 'that was my cue.'

There was a crash and it woke me up, there was glass everywhere and in front on me, my father, he looked even scarier now then before prison, I was frozen with fear, where was jack. My father was now beating me then jack flew threw the window and rugby talked my father. "Who are you?" my father asked jack "Danny's protector from you" he replied making me smile a little. I watched my father attempted to attack jack, but jack was trained and to fast then jack punched him in the face knocking him out cold. Jack then came over to me "sorry I didn't get here sooner, I ran as fast as I could, are you okay?" he asked me and pulled me into his arms. I loved it when he did this I always felt safe and I now calmed down "im fine just some cuts and bruises" I told him. Jack then got out his phone "Fowler, sorry if I woke you but I just made a citizen arrest, I need you to come pick this jerk up" jack said making me smile he then gave fowler the address and hung up. I had calmed down and jack was now lifting up my father over his shoulder still knocked out cold and taking him through the house to the front door. Then my mother walked out holding a bat, she had heard the glass break, she charged at jack with the wooden bat in her hand before I stood in her way. "Mom this is jack, he saved me, you can lower the bat" she did so when she noticed the unconscious man being my father over jacks shoulder, she now had a big grin. "Thank you jack for protecting my son" she said to jack, he nodded and continued to the front door. He opened it and fowler was waiting with a police car and two police men in front of the house, fowler noticed the knocked out man jack was carrying and noticed me and instantly understood.

Jack shoved the jerk in the police car and gave a statement about what happened and that danny was scared for his life, the police men then took danny and his mothers statement and got in there car and took danny's father to jail. Fowler was reassuring danny's mother saying the government would pay for a new window and any damage done whilst jack again hugged danny making him feel safe and took him back inside. Now they could actually meet. Jack brought the calm danny into the house by the shoulders and he sat on the couch next to his mother and fowler. Jack then went over to Wendy and introduced himself, "Hi Wendy, im jack im one of danny's friends sorry for not introducing myself earlier" he said taking wendy's hand and shaking it calmly. She then got up and hugged jack "Thank you again" she said, he nodded and relaxed sitting back down. Fowler was now getting up "right since your safe now me and jack will let you get back to sleep, call if you need anything" he said giving wendy a card and a phone number. Jack was about to leave with fowler when he noticed danny bleeding. "I'll be there in a minute fowler," jack said looking at danny bleeding and he understood. Jack then went to the kitchen and grabbed the first aid kit. Danny was still in shock so he hadn't noticed his injuries but he watched as jack came over to him and got on one knee to patch him up, jack took danny's arm cleaning the blood and placing bandages he then waited for the bleed to stop and gave danny some stitches on his face making danny flinch, lastly he gave danny some pills for the pain. "That should help for the pain and everything should heal in a few days" he said to danny and his mother who was more than impressed with jack. Jack then told them to get some more rest and left on his motorcycle back to base. It was now 6am because jack did some driving to clear his head before returning to base. It was quiet, he found it relaxing as raf and miko were asleep. Jack then went and took a shower before getting ready for his training sessions.

Chapter 5

WHERE'S MIKO?

It had been 4 months since the hole danny's father thing and now jack had trained the three teens in there skill and they were really good, they of course still did self defence and offence classes because jack made them but he was more confident about there safety now. It was a Tuesday and the day they were supposed to call the autobots but they were to busy. 10Am and there was no loud music, no explosions, no miko. Jack was getting worried, he had rung miko's phone 3 times because she never went anywhere without it and there was no response, just voice mail. Raf had tried tracking her phone but it was offline. Then danny came in "Hey guys what's with the panicked faces?" Jack the turned around "have you seen miko today?" he asked, danny thought about it "no, not since the morning at around 7am she was going out because she got a text from an old friend. "Raf pull up her texts I want to know who she was meeting" he ordered raf with authority. "Miko help! Some guys in masks kidnapped me and put me in the boot of my car!" Jack groaned out loud "Can you track who sent the call?" jack asked raf nodded. He got on his phone "Agent fowler, miko is missing possibly kidnapped were going to her supposed location now but would like you to come to base to take control, im going in alone." he hung up, minutes later a jet arrived and so did fowler. Fowler was then updated on the situation. "Im going in alone, a stealth and rescue mission in case she is in trouble danny will be in the ship in case we need a quick e-vac, but fowler I need you hear over seeing the mission in case is goes sideways." Jack said calmly and with authority. Fowler was a little surprised at how calm and bossy he was, but he nodded. "Raf your on drone again, you will be my eyes and ears from a distance" raf nodded. Jack quickly got changed into combat gear and went to the armoury getting all his weapons and ammo, checking to make sure they all worked then went to the ship. "Danny lets go, I'll pilot and once we land you take control in case you have to quickly pick us up and danny if I tell you to leave YOU LEAVE, is that understood, you get the hell out of here and get fowler to bring in more soldiers" he said and danny a little annoyed with the possible leaving part but he agreed. And so they were off, raf bridged them a few miles out so they wouldn't be spotted and then jack left on foot. "Jack to base do you read?" through the comm to make sure it was working, "base to jack we read" fowler responded. "Raf you should be getting the feed to the drone now, I need you to head to her last known position and make sure it isn't spotted!" jack said and then the drone left. Jack was in stealth mode, sticking to shadows and quickly but quietly making his way to the warehouse she was supposed to be. "Jack we see miko, looks like she was led into a trap, she looks unharmed but is tied to a chair." raf said. "Copy, going silent, ill come back online once I have her" jack said. He was now on a hill not that far away but he could see the warehouse and miko, she looked pissed. I quickly built my portable sniper and lied down scoping out there defences and working out the best strategy. There was men surrounding the warehouse with machine guns patrolling the area and inside the warehouse was more guards. He quickly went on his comm "Fowler, this is officially a rescue mission im going in jack out". He folded up his sniper and began on foot heading towards the warehouse, there was a single soldier patrolling the woods, so jack snuck up behind him and knocked him out on the back of his head with his gun, the soldier collapsed to the ground. Jack took the soldiers earpiece and attached it to his comm so everyone else could hear the soldiers. Jack then tied up the guard and hid him in a nearby cave. Someone was asking for a status update on everyone "Eagle report, Tiger report, Lion report" jack looked at the soldiers uniform and saw the name then it was his turn "cub report…..cub reporting all clear" jack said and the man continued, jack let out a breath. He made his way to the warehouse, there was a blind spot on the cameras, jack rushed to the blind spot and took out the 4 guards knocking them out and hiding them. He hid in some nearby bushes and waited for soldiers to come looking for them. "Gorilla report…..Gorilla report...All outside units head to sector 4 possible breach" Jack watched as every soldier outside the warehouse came rushing over. He put on a gas mask and threw a can at the troops, they all stared at it confused and then the can silently let out the gas, all the soldiers were now out cold, just the inside left. Raf and fowler were still watching on the drone, and saw the hole thing and they couldn't help but laugh as all the soldiers collapsed. Jack then still in the blind spot took out the nearest camera with a silenced pistol and holstered the gun. He pulled out his two holstered guns and changed the ammo to tranquillisers, whilst getting into a position on the ground with the sniper again, with tranquillisers. He took aim and fired, taking out the top guards, nobody even noticing, folding up the sniper he headed to the warehouse, 7 guards left with guns surrounding miko, hmmmm. He pulled out 2 flash-bangs and pulled the pins throwing them in the direction of the guards. BOOM Jack then using his enhanced speed ran at them whilst they were disorientated. He tackled 2 and knocked them out, then went over to another 3 punching and fighting them so fast they couldn't even hit jack and then knocking them out cold. "Stop or she dies", the last 2 guards had there guns to miko's head, I smirked a little. I held up my hands to surrender letting one of the guards come towards me I quickly grabbed his hand and twisted so he was bent I then rolled over his back and with the hidden blade in my hand I threw it at the guard still holding the gun, it hit his hand with exact aim and he dropped the gun, I quickly with my other hidden blade cut the rope bounding miko's hands with one quick cut and she was free, she instantly attacked the guy to her left, I then paid attention to the guy I was still holding and knocked him out easily, I turned out around to see miko's guard out cold and her foot on his chest "not so tough now" she said to him, I just smiled. "You okay?" I asked and she nodded "Jack to base, I have miko heading back to ship now". "They will be waking up soon, we better hurry" jack said to miko as she got onto his back and he ran as fast as he could, 3 minutes later and they were at the ship. "Danny lower the ramp", he did so I had now placed miko down, The ship had 8 guards with guns in waiting for us, I sensed that before the ramp barely opened, I pushed miko out of the way holding a finger to my lip and using my hands to tell her how many, I told her to wait till the ramp opened and knock out any that get past me, she understood and hid. The drone had followed us back and was now hidden in a tree watching the ship as raf had seen jack push miko. Fowler and raf watched the conversation between jack and miko and watched. The ramp opened fully, Jack walked out holding his hands up making himself visible to all the soldiers pointing guns at him. Jack quickly assessed the situation, he walked slowly towards them "so who's in charge?" jack said to the group. "I am" a man stood forward the guards lowering there weapons. "Why did you kidnap miko?" jack asked calmly with no panic "to get to you jack" the man replied "okay who are you and what do you want with me?" jack asked. "You can call me shadow and I want to kill you" he said, then aiming a gun at jack. "any last words?" he said "just one" jack said "what's that" shadow asked curiously, "Boo" jack said. Danny was instantly ejected out of the pilot seat with a parachute and jack smiled. "whoops" he said. Jack was now holding his two holstered guns with tranks up at the men. A stand off, jack fired quickly taking two men down, then rushing forward and punching and kicking two more men then tranking them, Shadow still shooting trying to hit jack, 4 down 4 to go, jack grabbed one of the soldiers using him as a human shield against the shots, he died quickly, but not before having 2 rounds go completely through and into jack, jack didn't care, he dropped the dead man and tranked the last 2 leaving just shadow and him, shadow was out of bullets and jack knew it. He casually walked towards shadow who was trying to fire his empty gun and was grabbed by the neck, jack lifted him of the ground enough that he could walk and threw him out of the ship, then picking up the dead guy and throwing him on top shadow so he couldn't move "You got blood in my clean ship" jack said slightly annoyed and he pushed all the tranked men out of the ship onto the floor as well. "Miko all clear" jack said and miko came in, "wow you took out 8 men and made it look easy" she said looking at them all "danny you good?" jack asked "yeah, just stuck In a tree, you really need to teach me how to get down….OW… found it, on my way back" danny said. Everyone on the comms laughing at danny, "raf bring the drone in and get the bridge ready" jack said, "yes sir" raf replied making everyone laugh again. Jack was now in the pilot seat again, miko strapped in the back and slightly hovering off the ground, then danny jumps in and straps in as well, the ramp closes and up they went, "okay raf" jack said and a vortex opened, jack hovered and landed and opened the ramp. "Do you know how annoying blood is to clean?" jack asked everyone looking at the blood from the dead guy and from the guys jack punched. Jack sighed and walked out, raf and miko hugged whilst jack went to med bay, nobody had realised he'd been shot but him because he was hiding it. He sat down on a gurney and took of his shirt, now everybody noticed, "JACK! Why didn't you say you were shot!" miko asked feeling guilty, "its not that bad and I was kinda busy" jack replied as he pulled a bullet out with some large medical tweezers, flinching slightly, making the teens look away. He then took out the second placing it in a metal tin next to the other bullet, he then covered the wound and did some stitches. "You can look now" jack said and all the teens turned back. "So fowler, know anything about this shadow guy and why he wants to kill me?" jack asked. "Never heard of him until today, but they were organised and loaded, I would say they were mech under new leadership but I don't know why he wants you dead." fowler said. "ERH SO MECH IS BACK! And they want jack dead, great just great" miko said before collapsing on the couch. "So miko want to tell us how they caught you and if they asked you anything?" jack asked. "They snatched me by using a text saying they were an old friend in trouble, don't know how they got my number but once they had me they just tied me up and left me in that uncomfortable chair for hours until you came" she said. "Raf, you see if you can find anything on this shadow guy, danny im gonna patch you up from falling out of a tree, and miko you can go to the wreck room and smash some things" jack said, they all nodded except miko who "YES!" and fist pumped the air. "Fowler if there is anything else I don't thing your assistance is required but thank you" jack said "no need I need to update the pentagon on shadow and brag about how awesome you were by taking them all out" fowler said with pride before patting jack on the back and leaving in his jet. Once everyone was patched up, jack went to take a shower and sat on the couch with the three teens watching a movie together.

Chapter 6

Surprise

Jack had finished working on his car and adding his own cool modifications and was now working on some drawing designs for colour, when there was an explosion, it shook the hole base and echoed loudly, it was 7.30 am so jack didn't think anyone was awake, he quickly left his room wearing his leather jacket to see what happened. What he found was miko looking guilty and the wreck room with burn patterns covering the floor and walls. "MIKO! What did you do?" jack asked slightly irritated "what me? Nothing bad….just tried out the new explosives you were working on" she gave a cute smile and puppy dog eyes. Jack answered her "the devices im working on are unstable and not finished, they could have blown unexpectedly or whilst you were still in the room" jack said "sorry jack" she said a little ashamed "don't be you were just curious, just ask next time" he said and she instantly smiled giving him a quick hug before walking off. Danny and raf were now here barely awake "We heard an explosion, was it miko or are we under attack?" raf asked "It was miko now you can go back to sleep" jack said softly as the two teens went back to bed. Jack then got out his phone not realising miko was spying on him "Fowler, you busy, great, don't suppose you can watch the base for a few hours I was hoping to do an errand, great see you in twenty" jack hung up. "Where you going?" miko asked with a big grin "out" jack replied "out where?" she asked, knowing she wouldn't drop it he sighed and looked at her "I'm going to get some tattoo's done". Miko face lit up instantly "CAN I COME!? I want a tattoo!" miko asked excitedly "fine, but do you know what tattoo you want?" he asked. She quickly ran to her room and came back with a few papers "yep" she said. "Alright my car isn't finished so we will take my bike, you might want to put them in a rucksack" he said to her making her even more excited. She put on the spare helmet and grabbed tightly to jack as he sped off, once they were out he thought he would have some fun. "Hang on!" He said, she grabbed tighter, then he was doing a wheelie whilst still zooming "wooooooooooooo" miko screaming she was laughing her head off, just ended the wheelie then they came up to town, he then parked outside a tattoo parlour. They got off the bike and went inside. Jack had a drawing he had done of what he wanted, he was getting a hole left sleeve done, with custom pictures and also a right shoulder tattoo with the autobot symbol. Jack had been in contact with the artist who would do the work so his picture was exact and even shaded, however he had no idea what miko was getting done. They both talked to the artists, jack the person who had help him draw the pictures and miko who was excitedly explaining her drawings. We then both sat next to each other talking for hours as the ink was done. We had agreed we would surprise each other with what we got. Then jacks phone rang, with his right arm he answered because his left was busy and in pain

"Hello?" jack asked

"Jack its raf, where are you and why is fowler saying your on an errand?" raf asked

"Because im busy right now, why did something happen? Jack asked

"Yeah miko is missing" raf replied

"hahahaha, don't worry she's with me, you should enjoy the quietness" jack laughed

"oh okay, will do and jack" raf said

"yeah" jack said

"what's that humming noise?" he asked curiously

"you'll find out later" jack replied

END CALL

They had been in there chairs for 6 hours, half of jacks sleeve was done and miko had tattoos all over her body. Apparently they would both finish at roughly the same time, jack could only imagine how many tattoos miko was getting. A few more hours went by, jack was now getting the last colour put in and miko said she was having her last tattoo done. They had left at 8am and it was now 9pm. And the tattoos were finally done. The tattoos were red and in pain but both jack and miko were pleased. They went to the mirrors and inspected there work. "All right you hungry?" jack asked as they paid the artists, "you bet" miko replied. They both got on jack's bike again and went to the nearest restaurant. They then went back to base, they arrived and fowler and the two teens were snuggled up watching a movie, which was interrupted by the motorcycle engine pulling in. They paused the movie and came over. Jack had his leather jacket on covering his arms but they could easily see miko's tattoos. "WOW miko, you got tattoo's? How many? What are they?" this time it was raf asking all the questions she slowly showed the group all her tattoo's explaining the reasoning. "what about you jack, did you get any?" danny asked, jack smiled and took of his jacket, showing of his sleeve and shoulder tattoo's. "Wow, soooo cool, you two are both lucky" raf said still examining jacks sleeve. Fowler even appreciated the work they both had done. "So what did you three do today?" jack asked "not much, relaxed, watched tv, played some games" danny said. And then they were all in a conversation, "alright I think im gonna take a shower and go to bed" jack said and the others agreed and did the same, apart from fowler who stayed and finished the movie and slept the night on the couch.

SIREN, SIREN

It made everybody jump, still in there pyjamas they rushed to the computers "insecticons spotted" raf said. "Miko suit up, you and me are gonna go see why there there" jack said. 2 minutes later they were both stood in front of the ground bridge in full combat gear. "okay raf" jack said and the vortex opened, they walked through with the ground bridge closing behind them. They looked around for a while "jack to base, you copy?" jack asked, "loud and clear" raf replied. "drone feed coming now" jack said and raf starts flying the drone, scanning the area. "Anybody see anything?" jack asked through the comm, all replies were "no". "Miko lets split up, say if you find anything" he said and she nodded splitting off. 3 more minutes and nothing, "anybody see anything?" jack asked "hello?" he asked again….static…. He then pressed an emergency beacon on his belt. Raf, fowler and danny now knowing something is up. "Miko do you copy?" fowler asked "yeah what's up?" she asked "your getting a bridge go through that's an order" he said and so she did. "What gives?" she asked noticing the screen. "One of jacks protocols, if the signal is jammed use emergency beacon so we have a location and can see vitals and get everyone out if they can hear comms" raf replied. "His vitals are fine and soon we should get a visual with the drone" danny said. Then the drone came into a visual, Jack was there holding his duel katanas and facing 5 robots and 3 insecticons. "Scrap jack is outnumbered, I need to help him" miko yelled. "wait protocol says unless he's injured no backup in case its a trap" fowler says making miko pout.

Jack was stood with his katanas facing 5 robots and 3 insecticons, a insecticon charged forward, jack dodged by rolling to the side before getting back up, it charged at him again this time he stood still and at the last second lied on his back to the ground holding up his katana cutting through the insecticon and killing it, he then rolled out the way before it could fall on him. Next another insecticon was coming at him, jack waited for the perfect timing then jumped as high as he could and sliced the head of. One more, this one had blasters. Jack pulled out some c4 and placed it in its mouth before ducking underneath the bug, it flew right over him and straight into the 5 robots lined up. BOOM, jack waited for the perfect timing to press the button. 3 robots dead and the last insecticon. 2 robots left, jack took out two circuit disruptors and threw them full power at them, they both collapsed and jack cut both there heads off, both dead. Jack looked around sensing someone else was hear, watching. "Come on out shadow!" jack yelled putting his katanas back in there sheath's. Then out came shadow from a shadow, "So you knew I was here, impressive and you took out all my robots and insecticons, im gonna have to build them better" he said walking through all the wreckage. "So this was what a trap?" jack asked "precisely and to test a theory" shadow said. Jack suddenly back flipped dodging a bullet "I knew it! Even more interesting, its gonna be so much more fun when I kill you" shadow said. "Why do you want to kill me?" jack asked "Because you took someone I loved" shadow responded pulling out a gun, BANG, jack knew he would and threw down a flash-bang and smoke grenade, jack then sprinted out of range to get a comm signal. "JACK TO BASE CAN ANYBODY HEAR ME?!" he yelled really annoyed. "We hear you jack" fowler replied, jack stopped running and let out a sigh "can I get a bridge please" he asked and then a vortex appeared, he was out of breath. "Jack! That was awesome! I didn't know you could backflip" miko said as she asked loads of questions. Jack walked up to fowler, "Fowler I need a favour, can you get this analysed its a hair from shadow I grabbed it before I ran I want to test a theory" jack gave him a flask with a hair in it. "Will do jack and good thinking also congrats on taking out 8 robots" he said as he walked to his jet. Jack had now gone to the couch and collapsed as he got his breath back, "good to see you listened to protocol" he said, "its a dumb one but I understand why" miko said as she sat next to him. They then all joined on the couch and watched tv whilst talking and laughing.

Chapter 7

RAF GETS THE GIRL

It was 8am jack was working on a secret project to allow them all to suit up quicker when there was a knock at his door, he quickly hid the plans and answered "come in!" In came raf, "hey raf what's up" jack asked pulling out another chair, "I need some advice about a girl" he said and jack instantly raised and eyebrow at him making raf blush. "ooooooo raf has a crush, okay what advice do you need" jack asked smiling softly, "okay, so there's this girl I like named Emma and I finally worked up the courage to ask her out and get her phone number and now I don't know what to do" raf said. "Okay so you want date locations?" jack asked, "yeah, and what do I wear, how quickly do I call her" raf asked, "okay breath raf, where did you meet this girl?" jack asked "we began talking at the video game store, we both seemed to be there getting the new games" raf replied, "awwwww you have a spot, okay my suggestion since you both like video games, take her to do something with those, a competition or a virtual reality place, you probably know more than me" jack said, raf was deep in thought, "I can do that, there's this new virtual reality place that just opened and you apparently can do two players, okay what do I wear?" raf asked "raf how about you ask her first and get a date for your date" jack says, "right that's smart, ill do that, thanks jack!" raf says before excitedly walking out. Jack then got the plans out again and continued working, 30 minutes later KNOCK KNOCK jack quickly hid the plans "come in!" he yelled, it was raf again "jack! She's free tomorrow, now can we pick an outfit" he asks "okay but we might need miko's help" jack says "why?" he asks "I think a girls perspective would be better" jack said before walking to raf's room. KNOCK KNOCK miko opened her door a little annoyed "what?" she asked "we need your help, raf has a date tomorrow and I think a girls perspective will help for an outfit" jack said. Miko then flies out her door and into rafs. When jack and raf got there, she was going through his clothes, "no...nope….nah…..definitely not….maybe….no" raf just stood watching a little angrily. Danny had now joined to see what was happening "hey what's going on?" he asked "RAF HAS A DATE AND HE NEEDS AN OUTFIT EEEEEEE" she yells with so much excitement. Danny raising an eyebrow at raf. "Okay you know what, lets just go to the mall and buy you an outfit" she said before running to the cars. "We'll take my car" jack said, everyone stared at him with shock "what?" he asked, "we haven't even seen your car you always hide it with a tarp." danny said. "Well now ive finished it, so you guys want to see it and go to the mall or not?" he asked they all had grins on there faces with excitement. Jack pulled of the tarp and they all looked in awe, It was awesome, shiny, plain black with tinted windows with a red stripe going down the sides, inside you could change the LED colours making the inside of the car pink if you wanted, it was comfy to and smart, what the kids didn't know was jack had modified it, it could fly, it could turn into a boat, it could even turn into a submarine for a few hours, it was super bullet proof and with the push of a hidden button the roof would open and a turret would appear for manual use. All the teens were giddy and got into the car, "all right lets go" jack said as he drove out of the base. "Call Agent Fowler" jack said openly, the teens were confused "calling agent fowler" a voice came from the car and the teens squealed with excitement "Blimey jack what was that?" fowler asked half def, the kids laughed "the teens just found out I had a talking car, sorry, anyway im calling to say were going to the mall because raf needs and outfit for his date, just a heads up in case a mission comes up or a sudden disturbance happens at the mall, it was probably us or miko (HEY! Miko says)" jack says "alright jack, and jack be careful with those three" fowler said then hung up, the three teens were laughing again. "Were not that much trouble" danny said and seeing jack smile they all started laughing again. When they arrived jack parked the car and they all got out, raf was nervous, miko couldn't stop smiling with excitement and danny was next to jack. They went in and started shopping, all four of them brought a few things here and there miko mostly, whilst they all helped pick out rafs outfit, they were there for the hole day, so they ate McDonald's for lunch and ate at a restaurant for dinner. They had all gotten what they wanted, raf was happy with his outfit, miko had bags of stuff she brought even danny had a few bags, the car would be full, as they were walking back something happened. Vince happened. He had noticed the trio and not jack, "Hey losers, oh look you have a new loser now" vince said staring at danny. Jack walked up now in his leather jacket and all "vince leave them alone" jack said, vince thought about it "fine" he said then when they all turned around vince grabbed danny and punched him knocking him out cold. That did it. "Miko, call agent fowler saying I will need picking up at the police station and then take danny back to base, which means your driving, don't you dare scratch my car!" jack said handing her his phone with fowlers number open. She started ringing. Jack was now going towards vince, "you just cant help yourself, lets see how you like it" jack said punching vince in the stomach, winding him. Then kneeing him in the face, vince's nose was now broken and bleeding, jack punched him in the face repetitively making sure not to knock him out, giving vince black eyes and cuts on his face, then kicking him in the side so he was on his knees then kicking him to the ground, vince was on the ground crying in pain, security and the police were here now. "Yeah I know, but can I put him in the car, I don't think they can lift him, then you can take me in" jack said to the police officer who agreed. Jack picked up danny bridal style again and took him to the car with the two other teens still laughing at vince who was on the ground crying, jack placed danny in the car gently and walked up to the officer and put his hands behind his back for the cuffs, then he was cuffed. "I mean it miko! Don't scratch or dent my car!" he yelled looking over his shoulder as they were getting in the car.

3 hours later, jack was bored. He had been sat down and cuffed for 3 hours, eeerrrrhhhh where's fowler? Then "Jack darby your being released" a police officer said uncuffing him. He walked to the entrance of the police station to find fowler laughing at him being escorted out. "HAHAHAHA I couldn't believe it when miko called me telling saying what was happening, I was worried the kids had done something and then it was you HAHAHAHAHA! Alright lets get back to base" fowler said laughing his head off. The drive was so long because fowler was laughing the hole time, when they finally arrived, jack was so fast out of the car. He made his way to danny who was holding his head whilst sitting on a gurney, "How are you?" jack asked "fine apart from the pounding headache" he said. Then something came to jack and he turned to miko and raf all serious "did you scratch my car?" jack said all serious "no sir" miko said and started laughing when jack let out a big sigh of relief. "So I hear you beat up vince for knocking me out cold" danny said looking at jack "yeah, he hurt someone I care about, plus he deserved it, I got a picture of his face before I was arrested" jack said showing the picture to everyone, they all died of laughter, danny then hugged jack and jack hugged back making danny feel safe and relaxed "thank you jack". When they all split off to go to sleep jack noticed danny deep in thought on the couch. Jack joined him, he sat down next to him "danny? Are you okay?" jack asked and danny instantly broke into tears in jacks arms, jacks was now rubbing his head soothing him and making him feel safe, "im sorry jack, I should have expected it" he cried "don't be sorry, it was a cheap shot, nobody could have expected it" jack said softly making the boy cry more, they sat there for a long time danny in jacks arms calming down, until danny started to fall asleep, jack noticed and gently picked him up half asleep in his arms, he walked over to danny's room and placed him on his bed, then covered him with the duvet "love you dad" danny said now fully asleep without even noticing he said it, jack couldn't help but smile and then quietly walked out shutting the door behind him. Jack then returned to his room to continue the plans for his secret project KNOCK KNOCK 'eeeerrrhhhh WHAT NOW ' jack thought "come in!" jack yelled, then in came miko, a little shocked jack looked at her "what's up miko?" he asked softly "just thank you" she said then hugging him "for what?" he asked "being you, you saved me when I was kidnapped, you still have fun with us and you care so thank you" she said jack couldn't help but smile, 'today has been an interesting day' he thought to himself, then miko left, once again he continued his plans, he waited a second listening to see if anybody was coming, nothing, he sighed in relief and continued KNOCK KNOCK 'AAAARRRRGGG EVERYTIME' he thought, hiding his plans AGAIN "come in!" he yelled, in came fowler "you busy jack?" he asked "not really" jack replied then fowler came in and took a seat "so what's up?" jack asked. Fowler had now gone all serious "I just wanted to say a few things, you are a smart, responsible and impressively skilled but you are also calm, caring and considerate. You put the lives of your team above your own, you never lose your cool or lash out and you are always there for everybody, not only are you a great leader, friend and soldier but you always do the right thing and I need you to promise me that will never change" fowler said, jack was speechless, he couldn't get any words out "um um thank you?" he said fowler looked at him realising this and let out a small chuckle "relax kid you deserve some praise, I just wanted to tell you that to make sure you knew, and I see you doubting yourself about being the team leader but jack don't your doing great, everyone is happy and healthy and that's all thanks to you, prime would be proud."fowler said once again making jack speechless so he just hugged fowler. "Okay now what were you doing before I got here I know you hid something" fowler said. "It's just a secret project I've been working on" jack said, fowler now intrigued "well what is it?" fowler asked with curiosity "well ive noticed when we get a mission, we take a few minutes to get suited up and to grab our weapons, so ive been working on something to speed the process up also giving the others more protection if there in the field" jack said showing fowler the plans, "jack these designs and plans are great! See your a great leader!" fowler said with pride "yeah but there not finished yet, so it stays secret" jack said and fowler agreed. "okay I'll get going and let you continue, just remember what I said" fowler said and then walked out, jack once again continued the plans. The next day raf went on his date and came back with a massive smile and said "it went great she wants another date".

Chapter 8

FOWLER

SIREN SIREN Everybody in base was suddenly awaken by the incoming call, they all gathered at the computer and took the call "AGENT DARBY ARE YOU THERE?" nobody recognised the voice "Yes who is this?" jack asked "General Bryce fowler's boss" he said "What can I do for you sir?" jack asked all formal "Fowler's helicopter was shot down by unknown forces whilst he was returning home after a mission, we got the distress beacon coordinates and want your team to see what the hell happened and if need be bring Agent Fowlers body home" he said "im sending you everything we have on the mission and the area the jet went down, update date me when you know something" he said "Yes sir" jack said then the call hung up. Jack then turned to his team "okay there is a good possibility that its a trap so were sending in the drone for surveillance first" jack said, raf did that whilst miko and jack suited up. Then they returned "raf anything?" jack asked. "I see the plane crash site but no sign of fowler, and I don't see any heat signature or cybertronian life signals" raf responds. "Okay keep looking for fowler, me and miko will try to track him from the ground of the site, let us know if you find anything" raf nodded and jack and miko went to the site. "jack to base you copy?" jack asked checking the comm signal "loud and clear" danny said. Jack and miko were now looking for any footprints to indicate fowler leaving the crash on foot. "anything miko?" jack asked, "nothing" she replied. "okay were now presuming he parachuted out raf bridge us back" jack said and he did, whilst still searching with the drone. "What you thinking jack?" miko asked. "Im thinking if fowler parachuted out we will see the parachute in the sky so were gonna take the ship out and use the new camouflage mode I added so we can fly over without ourselves being shot down" jack said. "Raf call general bryce" jack said. The call begun "Agent Darby what can you report?" he asked, "we've been to the crash site and no sign of fowler or footprints so we think he ejected himself, we have a drone scanning and searching the area for anything and we are now going to look from above for a parachute or any sign of fowler sir" jack said, "good report when you find anything" he said then ended the call. Jack, miko and danny got in the ship and were now flying over the forest looking for fowler or anything in camouflage mode so they were invisible. "Anybody see anything?" jack asked "nothing" from everybody. "I got something!" Raf said "getting closer now" he said, getting closer he noticed it was a heat signatures, inside a cave, fowler was sat tied on a chair whilst 5 men with guns beat him asking questions. "I have a visual on fowler with five enemies, ive scanned the area, no more soldiers or anything, sending you the coordinates now" raf said "got them, heading there now, raf patch in the general to the comm" jack said. "Jack what have you got" he asked, "we have a visual on fowler and five enemies were going in to extract now, just thought you might want to listen" jack said. Jack landed the ship a mile away so nobody could see or hear it, "miko, danny you wait hear I'll go get fowler and ill call if I need backup, miko stay here in case its a trap again" jack said she nodded, "raf, heading to fowler now, still only the five?" jack asked "yeah no changes, but fowler doesn't look great, they've been beating him asking him questions for a while" raf said "copy, I have a visual" jack said, "looks like mech again, miko be careful in case shadow is here" jack said "copy" miko said. Jack built his sniper and loaded them with tranks, BANG BANG, "two enemy down, I'm heading forward" jack said. Fowler now noticing jack "hey boys have you met my friend?" fowler asks with a big smile, jack walks in and tranks two more with his holstered duel guns "two more down, one left, he has a gun to fowlers head, give me a second" jack said "what are you gonna do?" miko asked, no response. Jack flips in the air kicking the gun out of the soldiers hand and tranks him, and frees fowler. "I have fowler repeat I have fowler, he isn't doing to good and needs medical attention fast, danny your piloting whilst I help fowler, is that clear?" jack asks "copy how far out are you?" danny asks "two minutes, fowler cant walk so im carrying him, all clear at your end?" jack asks "yeah, no sign of anyone or thing" miko says. "Raf all clear?" jack asks "year drone feed is picking up nothing" raf says. "alright bring the drone in raf I can see the ship" jack says. Jack now getting in the ship with a barely conscious fowler "danny get us out of here, and keep us steady I'm gonna help fowler" jack says. Once there in the air everyone is just listening to jack now to see if fowler will make it "come on fowler stay with me, don't fall asleep, miko I need you to start a conversation with him and keep him awake while is stop the bleeds and put his shoulder back into place" jack says "on it" miko say. "Jack he's barely breathing" miko says "I know ive stopped half the bleeds, he's been stabbed so this one will take longer, keep him awake" jack says as he deals with fowlers stab wound, "okay stab wound stabilized, now im going to put his dislocated shoulder back into place, hold him still miko" jack says. POP "Okay that should help with the pain, an x-ray should confirm its back in place and the bleeds are secure…...okay he's stable and waking up" jack says, "sighs of relief through the comm. "Agent fowler is alive and stable we are bringing him to the hospital, if you want to see him you can meet us there, jack out" jack says. Danny still piloting to the hospital and landing on the helipad using his training, "not a bad landing danny, your getting better" jack says to danny patting him on the back as he takes fowler inside. Doctors and nurses crowd round and take fowler to his own room and start doing tests. 2 hours later, the hole team is a the hospital sitting outside fowlers room for an update. Finally they get an update, "he's stable thanks to you and his wounds have been re-bandaged, thanks to you lot he's alive and awake and wants to see you" the doctor says. They all go into fowlers room, "Hey guys, I hear you all saved my life" fowler says "All jack" miko says "team effort" jack says. "So what were they asking you fowler?" raf asks "oh y-know who does jack darby care about, where does he live, where is his teams base, that kind of thing" fowler says "I of course didn't spill but you guys need to start watching your backs" fowler says. "Now get out of here so I can get some rest" fowler says and everyone laughs and leaves then goes back to base. "I'm glad fowler is going to be okay" miko says "yeah but he is to stubborn to die so there was no reason to worry" jack says making everyone laugh again. YAWN it was raf, "I'm going to bed" he says and everybody follows shortly after.

Chapter 9

TESTING

BANG, BOOM, WHOOSH 8am in the morning and everyone hears that "eeeerrrrrhhhh, WHAT!?" miko yells down the hallway peaking a sleeping head out the door. Danny and Raf doing the same BOOM miko now storming to see who was making explosions without her and shocked to see it was jack. The three teens now watching jack fire guns and grenades at something in the wreck room. Jack had the biggest smile on his face, the teens loved, he was so happy and pleased with himself, he was doing a small dance when he realised they were watching, he instantly stopped. He left the wreck room quickly. All three kids were laughing, but jack was so pleased with himself he couldn't stop smiling. "All right what happened that you were so pleased you were dancing?" miko asked still laughing "My new project is a success and has passed the testing stage. This peaked all the teens curiosity, he then went into the wreck room and grabbed something, they couldn't see what. "Here put these on" jack said handing them all a watch, they all looked like he was mad "you were dancing at an indestructible watch?" miko asked slightly disappointed, jack now smiling more. "turn the clock left" he said, they all did it. It was glorious, armour and fabric erupted from the watches quickly covering there entire bodies, "WOW that was so cool" danny said smiling and checking himself out. "You like it? Now we don't have to change before missions because we always have the gear with us, miko you have the apex armour which you get the option of human size or apex size, raf and danny you have simple designs but all three of the suits are bullet and explosive proof although if your hit by a rpg or a bullet you with will still feel it and get a bruise but no blood or burns. Also they monitor you vitals and have heaters and coolers in case your stranded somewhere, it also has two trackers in case one dies and a beacon so we always know your location on a mission, there is hidden blades in the sleeves in case you have to change instantly and also a blaster, but most of the time you will just grab your weapons from base, lastly there is a personalise option" gives them all i-pads "I suggest nothing bright coloured in case its a stealth mission mainly you miko" he said before watching them all sit down and watching there suits change colour and picking the clothing whilst wearing them as they flipped through. Jack had already picked his as it was his usual combat gear. Once they all finished they were in combat looking clothes, no bright colours and they were all happy. "Okay now turn your watch again and your original clothes will transform back, they all did and watched as there new suits went back into the watch. "THAT WAS AWESOME!" miko yelled, making jack smile. A few hours later they were just chilling and relaxing when the SIREN SIREN went off, they rushed to the computer with the comm "JACK, we think there is another relic but this time mech and the insecticons have beat you there, we need you and your team to stop them and get that relic" fowler said and then the line hung up. Jack, danny and miko instantly turned there watches and ran to the armoury to get there weapons and heading for the ship. Miko had gone apex size and danny kept a holstered gun with him, jack got in his pilot seat and then went through the bridge. They were camouflaged, and jack noticed only robots and insecticons were there, no humans. "Danny take the stick" he did so, "Im gonna dive out the plane hanging from some chains and snatch the relic out of the robots hand, you need to get me close enough and then fly the hell away, miko once I have it use the blasters and guns on the ship to blow them to hell, I will pull myself up put the relic in the ship and finish of any robots or insecticons left, is that clear?" jack said "yes", jack then attached a chain to an already reinforced hook in the ship and looped the bottom of the chain around his hand, miko was ready in the guns with a big grin, "raf your getting the drone feed now, see if there are any humans or anything else around" jack said, "everyone good to go?" jack asked "yeah!" miko said followed by danny "area is clear" raf said "okay raf get the drone to video all this and once I have the relic tell us if any insecticons are flying behind and if so how many" jack said and once everyone was ready they begun. They uncamouflaged and begun, jack was on a chain swinging through the air with a hand out getting ready to grab the relic, he snatched it before the robots and insecticons could react "NOW!" jack yelled and miko started blasting them all, jack climbed up the chain and got into the open ramp then pulled up the chain into the ship, "hold your fire, lets see how many are left" jack yelled, the smoke cleared and there were 4 robots left on the ground and 5 insecticons flying behind them. "Miko you get the robots I have the insecticons, call if you need help, danny once we jump shut the ramp and camouflage the ship and fly around until we need an e-vac" jack yelled. Miko and jack now stood in the open ramp with parachutes and jumped, jack jumped onto the insecticons placing c4 in them again before jumping of and pressing the button BOOM, miko pulled the shoot just above the robots and landed on one, instantly bashing its head and then pulling it off, she then attacked the others, jack now diving through the air and aiming for a robot sneaking up behind miko, pulled the shoot, then the emergency release so he had enough air to not break his legs then landed on top of the other robot with his duel katanas went right through the head going all the way down through the robot until it was split in half. Just as miko finished beating to death her robot, she turned and saw jack and the cut in half robot and cheered by fist pumping the air. "all right danny come pick us up and raf bring in the drone" jack said once they were all in, the ramp shut and they went back to base. Fowler arrived the second we landed the ship "Jack did you get it?" he asked, jack showed him the relic and then instantly put it on the table. "How did the mission go?" he asked noticing everyone excited faces. Raf then pulled up the drone feed which caught the hole thing. Fowler watched with his mouth open and over time opening larger and larger in shock. "Fowler you okay?" jack asked snapping fowler back to reality. "THAT WAS INCREDIBLE, the way you snatched the relic then blew up the insecticons then dived and cut a robot in half and how miko literally tore of a robot head and destroyed the other robots, just WOW" fowler was geeking out and the teens started laughing. Jack was now over with the relic, it looked like a gauntlet, so he put it on and a forcefield appeared around him getting everyone's attention, they slowly came forward examining the orb surrounding jack, miko then poked it with he finger and her arm was flung back, "woah" miko said. Jack then took off the gauntlet and placed it in the vault. "So we know what that does now" jack said. Fowler then realised the watches "OOOO YOU GAVE THEM THE WATCHES, AND THERE WORKING!" fowler once again geeking out, everyone laughing and then they all turned there watches and turned back into there normal clothes. "You did it, you figured it out" fowler said to jack in surprise. "Yeah it took a while and a lot of adjustments now if you don't mind I'm gonna put my weapons in the armoury" jack said as the teens all went to put there weapons away with jack. When they returned fowler was watching the video again still in shock at how cool it is. Alright ill update the pentagon saying you secured the relic and took out all the robots and insects.

Chapter 10

VACATION

Since they collected the last relic there has been robot and insecticon sightings a lot, the team spent the entire last two weeks fighting and destroying robots, it was exhausting, they were all tired, bruised and annoyed. "We need a break, like a vacation for a few days" miko said then jack got the idea. At 2 am jack rang fowler "WHAT JACK ITS 2AM" he yelled "sorry fowler, but as you know my team has been fighting mech non-stop for the past 2 weeks and everyone is struggling so I was hoping for permission to take a few days and give them all a vacation, hoping the military can take care of mech." jack said. "Sure that's actually a good idea, you all deserve a break and some time to breath I'll make some calls, what were you thinking jack?" fowler asked "I'm thinking nice hotel with our own rooms in Florida somewhere so we can all relax and unwind" jack said "sounds great but im coming with you in case the military need tips in kicking robot butt they can talk to you" fowler said, "okay im gonna surprise everyone with it so be here by 8.30am" jack said "ill be there with my suitcases" fowler said and then they hung up falling back to sleep. Jack however was busy making reservations and planning. 7Am jack had made breakfast and this time the smell didn't wake them up so he went down the hallway banging frying pans together. 10 minutes later they were all eating breakfast. "Why are you smiling like that...ooooo you have a surprise" miko said excitedly. "I spoke with fowler and the pentagon who agreed and were taking a vacation the next 5 days." jack said, now all the teens smiling happily, "we leave at 8.45, ive already made reservations and got plane tickets so you guys need to get packed" jack said. They all quickly finished there breakfast and ran to there rooms to pack, each teen giving an excuse to there parents. At 8.35 fowler arrived and everybody brought there suitcases over. They all then waited as jack pulled up with a truck so all there suitcases could fit. Fowler drove his car with raf and jack drove the truck with miko and danny. Nobody could stop talking the entire drive to the airport and at one point jack, miko and danny were singing to the radio. When they arrived they parked next to each other and everyone took there suitcases. Miko had 2 suitcases and a rucksack, raf had 2 suitcases, danny had 2 suitcases, fowler had 2 suitcases and 2 rucksacks and jack had 2 suitcases and a duffel bag. They all made there way through the check-ins and put there luggage on the plane, whilst keeping something's on them. They all then took there seats on the plane, miko was sat on the left next to a window, jack in the middle and danny on the right and behind them was raf and fowler. They sat down and took off miko, danny and raf all slept on the plane miko leaning against a pillow, danny leaning on jack and raf leaning on fowler. Fowler sat reading the hole ride and jack was on his laptop. When it was finally time to land fowler and jack woke the teens who slept the hole plane trip being very pleased they didn't have headaches from the excessive chatter of excitement. When they woke they were a little annoyed then realised why they were woken up, "strapen your seat belt and prepare for landing". There was a bit of a rough landing were danny freaked out a little grabbing tightly onto jacks arm who then held him until they landed. The minute they were off the plane and had grabbed there luggage they were wide awake and the talking never stopped. Jack had rented another truck and car so they made there way there and got in the vehicles and went to the hotel. The hotel was fancy and they were all stoked to learn they had there own rooms, only for danny and raf to decide they wanted to share so they pulled the mattress from raf room into danny's and raf slept there. They all took 20 minutes unpacking and looking around before they met up in the lobby. "This place is amazing! I heard someone say there was even a pool with slides" miko said practically buzzing. "Okay so I was thinking we go to the beach" jack said and they all agreed as they went to the beach. Fowler layed under an umbrella drinking ice water he had brought with him whilst miko, danny and raf played in the ocean. Jack went off getting everyone ice-creams. Jack ordered the ice creams everyone wanted and brought them back, they all sat in the sand eating them and smiling. They stayed on the beach for a few more hours getting a nice tan then headed to a restaurant to get some dinner. They all ate happily then went back to the hotel, miko joined the boys and they stayed up talking for hours whilst fowler slept and jack went out, they didn't know where, jack had gone out to a gay bar. He sat at the bar, ordering a beer and started chatting to a really cute guy, an hour later they were heading to jacks room, the teens heard jack talking to somebody and out of curiosity peaked there heads out the door in time to see jack passionately kissing a guy and going into jacks room, the teens then shut the door and started giggling away. Whilst jack had a great time. Miko eventually returned to her room and all the teens slept. In the morning jack said goodbye to the cute guy with a goodbye kiss before meeting everyone downstairs in the hotel restaurant for breakfast, the minute he sat down the teens started giggling again. "What?" jack asked "we saw you kissing that cute guy and going to your room last night is he still in there?" miko asked giggling away, fowler now raising an eyebrow at jack giving him the 'atta boy' face, "no he isn't he left in the morning" jack replied getting more giggles from the teens before they dug into there breakfasts. Once they finished they returned to the vehicles "what are we doing today jack?" raf asked "I was thinking theme park then arcade" he said and all the teens faces glowed with excitement even fowler was excited, so they drove to the theme park, taking pictures and selfies of themselves and going on all the rides, they brought the photos of there faces on the log flume and then got some cotton candy, doughnuts and cold drinks. They spent the hole day there having fun and taking photos, they then decided to get some food, everyone decided they wanted hot-dogs or burgers so that's what they got. Jack then gave them a load of coins each and they sped of into the arcade to spend them. Two hours later they left holding prizes and things they brought with their tickets, they then all went back to there hotel rooms and collapsed. Jack figured that everyone would want to go shopping in a market because they didn't have those in jasper and he was right, everyone zigged and zagged to all the stands buying things and looking at things, that took 3 hours, then they all decided to go to the hotel pool to relax and have fun on the water slides. Jack had been taking photos of the team the hole trip without them knowing showing there smiles and all the fun and mischief they were having, like showing miko belly flopping of out the water slide mid air. They spent the day having fun, going to different places and trying new things. After the vacation was over everyone was in way better moods also the luggage had tripled. They got on the plane and headed home. Once they were all back at base they unpacked everything, going through everything the brought and going to sleep. They had 5 days of fun but now it was back to work.

Chapter 11

REVENGE

Jack was working out when miko came racing into the room, when she saw jack topless she stood watching in amazement for a minute before jack snapped her out of his trance "what?" he asked doing another pull up, "fowler is here" she stood watching as jack jumped down from the bar and landed in front of her, he then put his shirt back on and walked over to fowler. "Hey fowler what's going on?" he asked, "the dna you wanted came back" he said giving jack the file, jack quickly skimmed it then sighed, "it appears I was right" jack said and everyone had gathered around, "what does it say?" raf asked, "Shadow is silas's son" jack said and everyone gasped and went wide eyed, "that still doesn't explain why he is after you" miko said, "yes it does" jack said and everyone was confused jack took a breath which everyone noticed then said, "I killed silas" everyone was silent in shock and processing it, "How? When?" fowler asked confused, "three years ago I was still in the army this was after I killed my father and had my enhancements, silas tracked me down capturing my hole team by setting up an ambush, he tortured me for days asking where the autobots were and the base, but I never gave in. One day silas left me alone and I broke free from my restraints I managed to make my way to rescue the team letting them escape, but silas stopped me before I could join, we fought and I killed him then met up with my team and returned to our base" jack said and everyone was silent jaw's dropped, "so that's why he wants you dead, revenge" danny said realising and jack nodded. Everyone was interrupted from there thoughts when sirens started going on, they then walked over to the command deck, "robots and insecticons spotted" jack said, "let's suit up and go" jack said and danny and miko joined jack in the jet, moments later they flew invisible over the bots, "danny you pilot, miko and me will deal with the bots, raf your on drone" jack said and everyone said "okay". Raf flew the drone getting a good angle to see everything, "raf how many?" jack asked through the comm, "twenty maybe more" he said, "miko you ready?" jack asked and she nodded they then both jumped out of the jet landing on the bots, miko instantly crushed one then started attacking more ripping of bot heads and pounding them to scrap, jack using his katanas and easily cutting them in half also placing bombs and shooting them but jumping on top of one bot to the other, he then blew the bombs and more died, jack had taken down at least twelve in three minutes, raf, danny and fowler cheering as they watched, miko had destroyed and ripped apart seven so jack now joined her, within two minutes ten more were down, miko took four and jack taking six, they were surrounded by at least 35 dead bots on the floor, ripped, bashed, blown and cut. "Raf is that all of them?" jack asked through the comm, "yeah but im picking up a weird signature give me a moment" he said and a few second later everyone heard him gasp through the comm, "what?" miko asked "unicron" he said, "what do you mean?" fowler asked, "there is a unicron blood energy signature coming towards you" raf said, jack and miko had there guards up and watched waiting in the direction of the unicron signature. "That's not good" miko said seeing the signature, it was shadow he had somehow managed to inject himself with unicron blood making him stronger, faster and meaner, "miko head for the jet now!" jack said through the comm "but-" miko was cut off "now that's an order!" jack said pulling rank then walking towards shadow, "do you know what you injected yourself with?" jack asked as shadow walked forward and stopped a few feet away from jack, "unicrons blood now I have an even fight" he said, he then pulled out a sword ready so jack held his katanas, shadow charged at jack but jack rolled out of the way getting back up and facing shadow again, shadow charged again with fury from unicrons blood increasing his rage, jack just dodged then punching shadow hard making him stumble back, then they fought they had a sword for trying to stab and cut each other then going to fists punching and kicking jack was more skilled so he got most of the hits but shadow did get a few on jack, finally jack knocked out shadow, jack was bleeding from his face and limping with bruises everywhere, he then left shadow unconscious on the floor, "danny pick me up" jack said and then danny flew down and opened the ramp, jack limped in and sat down as danny flew them back to base. Miko helped jack to the med bay were he patched himself up stitching a few cuts and using bandages and ice packs. "THAT WAS AWESOME!" miko yelled watching the hole thing from the drone feed, the jumping out of the planes and destroying 35 plus bots then jack and shadow fighting. "Jack are you okay?" danny asked worried, jack smiled "im fine I should heal within three hours" jack said so everyone carried on talking about the mission, "what do you think jack?" fowler asked, "shadow using unicrons blood is a game changer he is stronger, faster, angrier meaning more reckless and violent plus I think he can control the insecticons" jack said and everyone went silent with realisation and worry. "What do we do?" raf asked jack, "for now we keep doing what were doing, we train kick bot butt and stay calm" jack said and they all nodded and fowler was impressed with jack.

Chapter 12

CHOICES

KNOCK KNOCK, miko had knocked on raf's and danny's door waking them up and begging them to watch the monster truck derby happening in an hour, they knew they couldn't say no to her so they just got dressed and then the three of them snuck out of base heading for the derby. The watched it and raf and danny was surprised at how much they enjoyed it, they were just leaving when they were kidnapped and thrown into a van. They had been restrained with there hands cuffed behind there backs and gagged so they couldn't talk but they could see and they all showed fear. They drove for like an hour but for the teens if felt like days, they were pushed with guns to there back's and forced into the warehouse then tied to a chair next to each other, shadow was on the railing above them glaring and staring at them creeping the teens out. Then each of there phone's rang and they knew it was jack, then shadow took out a phone from his pocket and called someone, the teens couldn't hear the conversation but they guessed it was jack wanting a trade, and they knew he would.

It was lunch and the base was too quiet, jack left his room stopping what he was doing and searched the base all the teens were gone. Jack then rung miko, no answer, jack then rung danny, no answer, jack then rung raf, no answer. Jack was officially worried, jack then rung fowler

"Hello?" he said

"Fowler its jack get to base I think the teens are in trouble" jack said

"On my way be there I ten" he said then hung up

END CALL

Jack then sat at the computer trying to trace the phones and trackers, fowler came in with panic and worry more so when he saw jack typing furiously at the computer, "what's going on?" he asked, "none of them are picking up" jack said activating there trackers, "there all together" jack said zooming in on there trackers, then jack's phone rang

"Hello?" jack said

"Hello jack" shadow said

"Hey shadow what do you want?" he asked

"More like what do you want, I have your three friends, its simple surrender to me and they go free" he said

"Okay where?" he asked

"Activate there trackers and you will know" shadow said

"Im on my way don't you dare touch them" jack said then hung up

END CALL

"Fowler you okay to go into the field?" jack asked and he was furious so eagerly nodded, jack then went to the jet with fowler flying to the warehouse they were being held, "I hand myself in and you get the teens and fly them to base leaving me" jack said and fowler nodded, "im gonna try and escape but I need you to promise no rescue mission until at least 24 hours" jack said and fowler was hesitant but agreed. Jack landed the jet camouflaging it then walking out

Thirty minutes later they had been sitting in the uncomfortable chairs gagged and tied up when jack walked up hands raised and no weapons, the teens although couldn't talk made noises at him trying to tell him to leave. Shadow came down from the railing smiling smugly at his plan working, "now let them go" jack said with a hint of anger to shadow, shadow gestured to one of his soldiers and he cuffed jack, the teens were then cut free and released, "jack!" miko said preparing to fight, "miko now go look after the other two go to the jet" he said to her she looked furious then looked at the two boys shaking with fear next to her and nodded to jack leading them out and protecting them, they soon found the jet and fowler piloting he then flew them to base whilst miko tried to calm the boys. Jack now knew the teens were safe and went forward with his plan, he was pushed into a cell with a gun in his back then knocked out from behind and thrown into the cell which was then locked. He woke up hours later in the cell on the floor, but he was alone. He checked for any hidden cameras and once he knew it was safe he easily broke the cuffs of his wrists, he then walked up to the bar down he grasped it with two hands and pulled it of its hinges then he layed it against the cell walking out. He put his ear to the door sensing and listening and counted way to many guards on the door to attack, he looked around it was only a one door no window room. Then he had an idea, he deactivated the device on his right arm uncamouflaging his arm so it no longer showed skin and had a pulse but was a silver robotic bucky barnes style arm, he made a fist and put it against the side wall hopefully leading to outside the warehouse, the fist then started glowing absorbing energy and then jack brought his arm back and punched the wall as hard as he could, CRASH it echoed throughout the warehouse and guards and soldiers came racing in, what they saw was a large man hole in the wall and jack was gone. They looked for him patrolling the area but they couldn't find him, shadow was furious yelling at everyone with fury. Jack had gone through the man hole and used his enhancements to stealthily and silently jump onto the roof without anybody noticing, he watched as soldiers went looking for him but he hid on the roof out of sight listening to shadow screaming at everyone. Jack then activated his comm,

"jack to base do you read?" he said

"Jack! How!?" fowler asked in shock

"I escaped but could really use a pick up" jack said whispering

"Where are you?" fowler asked

"On the roof of the warehouse" jack said

"WHAT!?" miko yelled

"SSSSHHHHH" jack whispered

"just send a ground bridge" jack said and seconds later a ground bridge opened in front of him and he went through

Everyone was staring at jack's silver robotic arm as he came through, "where did that come from?" raf asked examining it, "I lost my arm two years ago and got a prosthetic but I didn't like it so I made this one" jack said showing it off, "how has it looked normal?" danny asked fascinated, "I created a device camouflaging it so it looks normal and has a pulse" jack said and they were impressed, "how did you escape?" fowler asked, "pretty easily actually, I was knocked out for hours and left on the floor in a cell so when I woke up I broke out of the cuffs and ripped of the bar doors of the cell then used my robotic arm and punched a man hole through the wall outside the warehouse, I quickly then jumped as high as I could landing on the roof without making a sound watching all the soldiers look for me then contacted you guys" jack said and everyone was silent and amazed. "Now im going to bed" jack said making everyone laugh and going to bed.

Chapter 13

BIRTHDAY

"Quick she's coming hide" danny whispered so jack, raf, danny and fowler who hid. Miko came down the corridor half asleep with bed hair "SURPRISE!" they yelled, miko screamed at the top of her lungs defening the team and she fell to the ground from shock and they all laughed helping her up. "What was that for?" she asked, "happy birthday" raf said grinning now miko smiled remembering it's her birthday, they then all went and ate breakfast, "jack did you cook all my favourites!?" she said in shock and awe before eating happily and everyone laughing. They were giving miko presents when the sirens went off, they raced to the command deck, "insecticons and robots spotted" raf said, "miko you ready to smash some bots?" jack grinned and she laughed, jack, danny and miko then headed for the ship, jack was piloting and had camouflaged them they were now flying over the her, "jack to base to you read" jack said through the comm, "we read you jack" fowler said, "it looks like another relic" jack said, "danny take over" jack said giving danny the stick so he took over flying, "raf sending drone now" jack said and now raf was flying the drone for him and fowler to see, "miko get the relic and sprint to the ship I will cover your back and make sure you aren't attacked when your running back" jack said and she nodded they then both jump from the plane landing on the bots miko crushed two instantly and starts pounding and destroying bots on her way to the relic and jack was hoping from one to the other using his enhanced speed and using his katanas to cut of the heads, they were both killing machines, miko finally made it to the relic she took down like 12 bots and insecticons now she was out of breath but she had the relic, "jack I have it" miko said through the comm she didn't know where jack was then twenty bots In a perfect line in front of her dropped to the group from circuit disruptors, "run!" jack said and miko sprinted as fast as she could over the bot runway she could hear jack was fighting behind her but her orders were to run, "jack" she yelled a insecticon was flying straight at her, jack came out of nowhere and shot it's eye making it yell in pain then he cut the head clean of then returned to protecting miko, finally the got back in the ship and camouflaged, miko was to out of breath so jack got in the gun with a huge grin and started sharp shooting the bots perfectly, they all dropped instantly and in minute they were all dead. "Take us home danny" jack said through the comm shooting the last insecticons out of the sky, then a ground bridge opened and they were back at base. Jack took the relic from miko so she could collapse on the couch and get her breath back. "THAT WAS AWESOME!" fowler yelled making everyone laugh he showed them the hole video, miko and jack destroying bots jack fighting like four bots at a time protecting miko, jack shooting the one in front and taking it head clean of and jack sniping the bots perfectly killing them all in a minute. Jack was looking over the relic, everyone watched him walk into the wreck room with it, they saw him put it on his fists like a brass knuckle, he aimed at a target and the knuckles glowed green then fired a green bolt of energy going straight through the target, everyone's jaw's dropped at how cool that was, jack came out grinning making them chuckle and he put it in the vault. "So miko what do you want to do for your birthday?" jack asked, "im gonna blow some stuff up" she said. "Well sorry but I have to leave for a few hours need to clear my head" jack said getting on his motorcycle nobody could ask because he was straight out of the base. The base was getting a video call from cybertron so they excitedly answered,

"Hello?" ratchet asked

"RATCHET" miko yelled making fowler, danny and raf hold there ears

"Hello miko" ratchet said smiling now all the bots came onto the screen

"Happy birthday miko" bulkhead said smiling and miko grinned

"No jack?" arcee asked sad

"He said he needed to clear his head a lot has been happening" she said

"Why didn't you pick up at out last scheduled call?" bee asked

"We were kidnapped" miko said simply but the autobots went wide eyes in shock

"WHAT" bulkhead yelled

"Don't worry jack saved up" raf said and they relaxed

"Who took you?" arcee asked

"Jack arch enemy, his only mission it to kill jack" raf said and they all became worried

"Don't worry jack has already fought him once and won he can take care of himself" fowler said

"So how is the birthday going?" bulkhead asked

"Jack cooked me breakfast doing all my favourite foods then we went and destroyed a load of bots getting another relic now im thinking I might blow some stuff up" she said and everyone laughed

"We have to go but happy birthday miko!" bulkhead said smiling all then waved and the call ended

But whilst jack was out something happened, he was on his motorcycle clearing his head he decided to stop and pull over then he was knocked unconscious and kidnapped. When he woke he was restrained to a lab table reminding him of what his father did jack looked around to find something to escape or to know who took him. Then someone walked in with a white lab coat, "hello mr darby" she said, "who are you and where am I?" he asked, "that does not matter just know we found you fathers research on you and we believe we can make you better" she said injecting something into jack's leg it felt like he was on fire he yelled in pain then used all his strength and broke out of the restraints, sirens started going of "prisoner escape" it said the women grabbed a weapon and tried to stab jack so jack turned his watch to the left and stabbed her with his katana, he then walked out of the lab he was surrounded by twenty guards with guns aiming at him, jack attacked they tried shooting him but jack used some of the guards as human shield and he stabbed and shot the rest killing them all, he continued walking out of the lab, he killed anyone who tried to kill him and he freed some of the lab prisoners, he was covered in blood, not his he counted he had killed maybe thirty people today. Once they were all free jack found a phone and called fowler's

"Hello who's number is this?" fowler asked

"Fowler its jack I need you to get away from the kids so they don't hear this" jack said freaking fowler out

"Okay im alone jack what's going on?" he asked

"I need you to come to my location with a lot of coroner vans and a few ambulances and cops, do not tell the kids, I had to kill" jack said and fowler froze

"on my way" he said then hung up

Twenty minutes later fowler showed up and he couldn't believe it he walked up to jack, "what the hell is going on apparently around thirty are dead" he said noticing the blood on jack, "they were me" jack said ashamed. "I was kidnapped and brought here I woke up restrained on a lab table I broke free but they tried to kill me so I killed them, I freed the other lab prisoners and called you" jack said and fowler was speechless. Fowler went to talk to the main detective on the case saying what jack said the detective and fowler then walked up to jack, "why did they kidnap you specifically?" the detective asked, "they said they found my fathers research on me and could make me better" jack told them and both men raised and eyebrow. After about two hours jack was finally allowed to leave with fowler because it was self defence, "we cannot tell the kids any of it especially my kill count" jack said and fowler agreed, jack had turned his watch back so he wasn't in blood when they arrived back at base.

Chapter 14

TOO FAR

The next few days were weird, jack had superpowers but he was struggling to control them he knew he had to train so he did in an abandoned house nobody knew about, he learnt what powers he had and what he could do, he had been sneaking out to train and gain control then fowler called him

"Hello?" he said

"Jack im being tailed think you could help?" he asked watching the car badly following him

"On it" jack said then hung up he then comm'd the team telling them to track fowler

Jack went full speed on his motorcycle being given directions by the team on the comm he was gaining on the car, jack pulled up next to the car following fowler and knocked on the window scaring the hell out of the driver, jack then placed a device he had invented and the car slowly stopped from the engine cutting out, fowler had noticed and turned around to join jack, jack pulled over getting of his bike and walked to the car. The guy got out of the car, something wasn't right fowler noticed jack was on edge by the guy, his mouth was glowing purple the guy looked dead he out of nowhere pointed a gun and shot fowler, the guy was so fast jack didn't have time to do anything, then the guy's head exploded purple and the purple died and turned back to red, jack ran to fowler picking him up "danny get med bay ready im coming in hot" jack said through the comm, jack placed fowler in his car then ran to his bike pressing a button, it shrunk and metallised into a silver motorcycle that jack placed on his dog tags, jack then speeded fowler's car to base with a bleeding and shot fowler. Jack then placed fowler on the med bay bed and started operating, he soon had the bullet and stopped the bleed, fowler was stabilized and now sleeping. "What happened?" miko asked, "shadow" jack said and they froze, "you know how megatron could control and army with unicrons blood" he said and they nodded, "so can shadow and apparently humans as well" jack said and they all had pure fear and shock on there faces, "your saying shadow controlled a human to shoot fowler?" raf asked and jack nodded, "the guys mouth was glowing purple and once he shot fowler his head exploded but then the purple vanished and returned to red blood" jack said and they were grossed out. "That is terrifying" danny said and they all agreed. "He can raise an undead army of humans and bots controlling them" jack said and they only showed fear.

A few hours later fowler was awake but jack ordered him not to move, they had filled him in on shadows zombies and he was horrified. Then sirens went off "looks like another relic" raf said as jack, danny and miko transformed into there suits, they then headed for the jet but not before jack gave fowler a wheelchair. They were now flying to the location, raf was now flying the drone and searching, "raf anything?" jack asked getting closer to the energy signature, "nothing, no bots, no insecticons" he said, then they saw the relic "oh my god" jack said through the comm, "what?" fowler asked, "I remember ratchet talking about this its primes shield, only a prime can use it" jack said "danny take the stick I will use all my super strength to get it into the jet but we have to be quick since bots are probably coming so just hover" jack said and danny nodded taking the stick, miko and jack then used both there strengths to lift the massive shield into the jet, "this thing is heavier than a mountain" miko said struggling, "almost there" jack said, then they finally got it in the jet "jack you got bots and insects coming your way" raf said through the comm, jack knew with the shield they wouldn't be able to out run the insecticons, "danny get the shield to base miko your on gun im gonna distract them and try and lead them away" jack said they were very confused but nodded jack then took the silver motorcycle from his dog tags and threw it onto the floor, then his motorcycle enlarged itself and jack got on, "WOW COULD IT ALWAYS DO THAT!?" miko asked amazed, "go!" jack yelled and she got in the gun, jack rode out of the ramp on his motorcycle as the jet flew away slower than usual, jack used flares, guns, bombs everything he could to get there attention he also tried killing as many as he could making them mad. Now he had fifty maybe more bots chasing after him, "jack there catching up" raf said through the comm who couldn't stand still at the herd chasing jack, "are they clear yet?" jack asked through the comm, "not yet" fowler said, "then I keep pissing them off" jack said and miko laughed through the comm, jack was running out of ammo, bombs, circuit disruptors, everything, "are they clear yet?" jack asked, "yes" fowler said, jack grinned on his motorcycle he didn't have a helmet on so fowler and raf saw, jack pressed a button on his motorcycle and out of the side of his motorbike two rockets appeared and he fired blowing up like twenty bots and killing them, "where did they come from!?" raf asked grinning and amazed, jack looked back and to make sure he had enough distance then flipped a hidden switch on his bike, plane wings transformed out the side of the bike, he pressed a button and the thruster activated raf and fowler could not look away, jack was was getting a lot of speed then he was in the air flying, "YOUR BIKE CAN FLY!" fowler said In pure shock and awesomeness. "they back at base yet?" jack asked through the comm flying still, "yeah" raf said, "alright bridge me back" jack said and then he was in base, he transformed the wings back so now it only looked like a motorbike again. "Your bike is awesome!" danny said grinning, jack and miko then using all there strength and effort put the shield in the vault. "If I catch any of you on my bike or touching it I will cut of your hands" jack said joking but very serious making them all think he was serious. "Now lets eat" jack said making everyone laugh as he cooked a family meal.

Chapter 15

FAMILY

Jack was alone at base, the kids all decided they wanted to go home for a few days to be with there families, jack was quite enjoying the quiet he was spending lots of time on projects and training, it was around 7am when he got a call,

"Hello?" jack asked

"Hello jack" shadow said

"What do you want?" jack asked

"I thought you should know your team won't be coming to base today" he said and jack got worried

"What did you do?" jack threatened

"I took them of course, so either you come and surrender yourself or they die" shadow said

"Let me talk to them" jack said with fists

"fine…..Jack!" miko yelled

"Are you guys okay?" jack asked

"For now although my mother is freaking out" danny said

"Wendy is there to?" jack asked

"And fowler" raf said

"Im coming just hang on and don't piss them off" jack said

"why are you all looking at me?" miko asked

"You have an hour or they die" shadow said

"Where?" jack asked

"The place you murdered my father" shadow said then hung up

Jack then called general bryce

"Hello?" he asked

"General brcye its jack darby we have a situation" jack said all formal

"What is it?" he asked

"Agent fowler and more entire team have been kidnapped" jack said and bryce gasped

"Do you know where?" he asked

"Yes shadow wants a trade me for them" jack said

"What do you need?" bryce asked

"a few soldiers to make sure my team makes it out okay when I give myself in" jack said

"Im sending the best to your base now" he said

"Thank you sir" jack said

"Call me when you have news" bryce said then hung up

Twenty minutes later ten soldiers heavily armed showed up in two military armoured trucks, jack shook there hands and filled them in on the situation. "When I give myself in I need you to make sure my team gets back here safely, once there safe im gonna fight like hell so there will be gun fire and they will send people after you all" jack said they all nodded, "we understand" the commander of the soldiers said, "we can take the jet and you can bring your vehicles in case you need a quick escape" jack said they then drove there two trucks into the jet and jack piloted them to the warehouse, they were a little far away and cloaked, jack sent out a drone to see the situation, jack sent a feed to the general and comm'd him in, now everyone was coming up with a plan watching the feed. The soldiers got in there trucks and headed for the e-vac site then carried on foot, jack came from another direction and walked straight to the warehouse, he was armed and pissed. The minute the guards saw jack they pointed there guns at him, jack held up his arms for I surrender, "shadow im here let them go!" jack yelled as shadow came out, shadow gestured something with his hands and wendy, fowler, miko, raf and danny were brought out cuffed and gagged with gun's to there backs, "are you all okay?" jack asked, the general and soldiers on the comm listening, they all nodded, jack walked forward hands raised still to shadow, "now let them go" jack said to shadow about two feet away from him, he was still glowing purple, shadow looked at the guards, "take them to the woods and kill them" shadow said, jack and the soldiers had expected that so they were waiting, the team, wendy and fowler were scared and were pushed to the site. "We have a visual" the soldier said through the comm, then you could hear gunfire from the woods, "guards are dead and your team is safe jack" the soldier said through the comm, wendy, fowler and the teens heard the soldier and knew jack planned this, they were all given a comm then, "jack kick there butts" miko said and jack grinned, "were in the trucks heading to jet your up jack" the soldier said, jack then attacked, he was cuffed but he didn't need his hands, he tackled and kicked the guards using them as human shields and they were shot, he shoved guards out of the way with his shoulder and sprinted using his enhanced speed away, he was leading them in the opposite direction of the jet, he had four trucks fully loaded with guns shooting at him following him but he was slightly faster and could dodge the bullets, "you guys In the jet yet?" jack asked dodging a tree branch, "we have a visual, how many are on you?" the soldier said, "four trucks filled with guards with trucks shooting me but im leading them away from you guys just get them safe" jack said, "jack you can't out run them forever" fowler said, "I can until your all safe" jack said, "danny you pilot and get the hell out of here" jack said through the comm, "okay what about you?" danny asked worried, "im gonna lose these jerks and use my motorcycle" jack said, "is anyone hurt I heard gunshots?" jack asked dodging more gun fire and a rocket everyone on the comm heard the explosion and could hear the guns firing at jack, "nobody is hurt just a few cuts and bruises you should focus we heard an explosion" the soldier said, "there firing rpg's at me, you guys in the air yet?" jack said still running, "taking of now" danny said, "miko your in guns in case my distraction didn't fool everyone and you have people on you" jack said, "on it" she said, they heard another explosion on jack's comm, "jack?" raf said, nothing "jack!" raf said, "sorry im here got launched forward by the rocket hitting the ground im good" jack said making them breathe again, "jack were clear and heading back to base" fowler said, "danny scan the ship to make sure there isn't a tracker on it and make sure your camouflaged im gonna start losing these idiots" jack said and miko laughed through the comm, jack started running all over the place and soon he lost the four trucks, "lost them I think anyway im heading for base now" jack said throwing his motorbike down on the ground and then it enlarged and jack speeded away, "im clear" jack said and jack heard everyone breathe a sigh of relief from there comm's, "you guys back at base yet?" jack asked, "landing now" danny said, "raf can I have a ground bridge" jack asked, "on it give me a minute to get your location" he said as he ran to the computer, then jack came speeding into base on his motorcycle. "Why didn't you break the cuffs off?" danny asked, "can't there reinforced" jack said showing them, "are you all okay?" he asked, "shaken but fine" fowler said then looking at wendy who was shaking jack nodded at fowler and gestured to fowler who got the message fowler then went to calm wendy. "Are you sure the cuffs don't have a tracker?" a soldier asked, "I already disabled them both first thing I did when they were placed on me" he said smirking and everyone laughed, "Agent darby" general bryce said and jack froze remembering he was on the comm, "yes sir" he asked, "well done" he said and jack smiled. It took about and hour but jack got the cuffs off and he let miko blow them up in the wreck room and everyone laughed even the soldiers and wendy, he went up to the soldiers, "thank you for your help" jack said shaking the commanders hand, "no problem it was actually a little fun you have a great team" he said laughing at miko jumping up and down on the blown up cuffs and jack smiled. "If you ever need help we owe you one" fowler said joining the conversation, after everyone said goodbye the soldiers left and jack looked at his team and wendy. "So what happened?" jack said getting them to all sit down on the couches, "we were asleep in our homes then a group of guards came in with guns and cuffed and gagged us taking us to the warehouse and then waiting for you" miko said, "did they ask you anything or hurt anyone?" jack asked, "no not a word or hand just kept us in a cell until shadow called you" raf said and jack sighed in relief, "I suggest you all stay here for the time being since shadow knows were you all live" jack said then turning to wendy who was calmed, "we can get you relocated if you wish" jack said and she thought about it, "we will stay here until we found a house, we are staying in jasper" she said looking at danny and jack smiled, "fowler can help with that" jack said and fowler nodded. "Okay everyone of to bed fowler and wendy can take a spare room each" jack said and they all nodded and went to sleep. Jack stayed up though worried, since he had returned to jasper he had been writing in his journal more, he wrote in it throughout the years talking about where he was what he did what he was thinking and feeling, it calmed him and helped him to think, he found he had been writing In it a lot he would write everything he would right his doubts and ideas his feeling and worries what happened at missions and memories everything, now he was writing about today how he felt and what he did, it had quite a lot of detail someone could literally visualise the hole thing, he ended with worry for his team and there families since shadow knew who they are and where they live.

Chapter 16

AUTOBOTS

Weeks later wendy and danny had a new house, the team had been on more missions and had to fight a few undead humans and bots, with a lot of effort. They were all so random and jack knew why he was trying to find the base, danny, raf, miko, fowler and jack were sleeping in base when everything shook and sirens started to go off, they all ran to the deck "shadow found us" raf said with panic but jack had expected this, "okay listen you four will each take a relic and a vehicle through the ground bridge to different locations I need you to all keep them safe and stay hidden until your found." jack said calm and another missile the base making it shift, "im going to hold them off long enough for you all to get out and then im gonna make sure they cant find you by destroying the bridge" jack said worrying them all, jack led them all to the vault, "I have made a device to block the relic signatures so you can't be found but you need to stay hidden" jack said giving a relic to each of them. Jack had made something for the shield so it was easy to move they were all freaking out, "your priority is to stay hidden and keep the relics safe never leave them always have them with you, I have planned for this" jack said and they were still freaking out jack led them all to a vehicle, fowler had the shield and an armoured truck camouflaged as pickup truck, jack made the illusion, raf, danny and miko each had a car glamoured with an illusion as well to look normal but really they were indestructible, one by one jack ground bridged them all to different locations, once they were all through he destroyed the bridge and console making sure they couldn't be found, he then got in the jet and flew out of base just as it collapsed and exploded, he then started shooting and blowing up insecticons and jets shadow had, he recorded a message and sent it to the autobots hoping they would get it,

"I hope your getting this its jack we need help, and base is blown and I don't know how long I can hold them, I sent, fowler, miko, raf and danny to different locations each with a relic they have been ordered to hide and keep the relic safe, I need you to find them and protect them (hear explosions and gun fire in background) prime you need to find fowler he has the prime shield so if he gets found he is screwed, (loud explosion) scarp im hit, i made sure the bridge locations were destroyed but shadow will be hunting them all if your getting this find them! (another loud explosion) im going down! Don't worry about me just make sure there safe! I love you guys (Loud explosion and sound of a crash ….static…" Minutes later the bots got it, they listened with panic and fear optimus instantly sent them to earth to the old base and they started searching, ratchet found jack had sent the trackers to them but there were only four not five, jacks wasn't one of them. "Is he dead!?" Arcee freaking out asked him and ratchet nodded she broke down, "we need to fulfil jack's dyeing wish and find our friends" optimus said trying to distract himself from jack's death, "jack sent there trackers before he crashed" ratchet said sad but with pride, "bulkhead go and get miko, bumblebee go and get raf, I will get fowler and arcee you get danny" optimus said and they all nodded they then all transformed and headed for the trackers. The minute they left ratchet, wheeljack and smokescreen broke down over jack's death then noticed a message onto the screen, "ratchet if you get this then I activated R.A.H protocol I don't know if I am alive or not since this is a pre-sent message but can you make sure wendy is safe, she is danny's mother and shadow has already kidnapped her once, she knows about the autobots so she shouldn't be scared" ratchet red it and headed to the location given and went and got wendy she was surprisingly calm about ratchet but he knew she didn't know what happened. The minute she heard jack's distress call she broke down with tears and worry for danny. The autobots could not get jack's message out of there heads as they drove to the trackers, he was dead and sacrificed himself to give them time and to send the distress call. Arcee and optimus were hit the hardest and just wanted to smash something but they promised to protect the team. Optimus found fowler first he was hidden in a pick up truck in a cave, optimus drove up and honked his horn waking fowler up he saw prime and became very confused so he left the armoured truck and got out, optimus transformed into his bipedal alt. "Prime what are you doing here?" he asked, "jack sent a distress call telling us to protect and make sure you were all safe with trackers to your location" optimus and he saw pure shock on fowlers face "Is he okay?" fowler asked, optimus didn't answer and fowler gasped and fell to his knees, "what happened?" fowler asked sadly, "he was giving you all as much time as he could and sending us the call then we heard his jet go down and crash there were only four trackers not five" optimus said and fowler had a tear, "jack was ready for this he warned us he thought shadow was trying to find the base but we didn't believe him and when we were all panicking that the base was being attacked he was calm and said he had a plan" fowler said ashamed, "agent fowler I do not wish jack would want you to feel guilty and ashamed I think he would want you to make sure the team was okay" optimus said and fowler shot his head up wide eyed "the kids are they okay!?" fowler asked in panic, "an autobot has gone to get them as we speak" optimus said and fowler breathed he then headed to the truck and pulled out the huge shield for prime, "how are you moving it?" optimus asked confused, "part of jacks plan I guess he made a device so I could move it if I had to" fowler said putting it in front optimus, he took It and it easily attached to his arm. "We should head back to base" optimus said and fowler agreed and started walking to the pick up truck, "agent fowler that is a pick up truck I am safer and faster" optimus said confused, and fowler laughed, "jack made the truck its armoured and glamoured the truck is literally indestructible and very safe" fowler said and optimus was in shock, fowler then followed optimus who was now a blue and red truck to base. Bulkhead was excited to see miko but mainly sad that jack was dead he drove to her location, he found her sitting on a blue mini car, she was sad and panicking and bored, bulkhead drove up and honked making her jump then when she saw bulkhead she grinned and ran towards him and she transformed, "BULKHEAD!" she yelled hugging his foot, "hello miko" he said smiling, "what are you doing here and how did you find me?" she asked worried and confused, "jack sent a distress call telling us to find and protect you all and gave us your trackers" he said and she smiled, "is he okay?" she asked, but bulkhead looked away and miko gasped and started to cry, "no" she said, "how?" she asked, "he was fighting we heard gun fire and explosions then his plane crashed and exploded" he said and miko fell to the ground in tears, "IM GONNA MURDER THAT SON OF A BITCH" she said in pure anger scaring bulkhead, "look lets go back to base and meet the others" he said, "is everyone else okay?" she asked remembering the team, "an autobot is collecting everyone as we speak" he said and she smiled she then walked back to the mini, "miko what are you doing?" he asked confused, "this car jack made its glamoured to look like a mini but really its an indestructible and armoured car" miko said and bulkhead was shocked and impressed so miko drove following bulkhead to base. Raf was crying and panicking sat next to the car in an abandoned car park in the middle of nowhere when bumblebee drove up and honked his horn raf jumped and went all defensive then noticed it was bee. "Bee is that you"? He asked then bumblebee transformed, raf ran and hugged bumblebee crying, "how? Why?" he asked bee, "jack sent a distress call telling us to protect you and make sure you were safe he sent us a tracker to you all" he said and raf smiled, "is he okay and the others"? He asked, "the others have an autobot going to them now but jack didn't make it" bumblebee said sad and raf collapsed to the ground in tears, bumblebee caught him before he hit his head, "are you sure he is dead?" raf asked "his tracker is offline and we heard the plane crash and explode" he said and raf broke down in bumblebee's hand, "raf we should head to base and get back to the others" bumblebee said sad and gently and raf nodded he got of bumblebee's hand and got in the car jack made glamoured, "do you know how to drive and why are you taking that car?" bumblebee asked confused and a little hurt, "jack taught me also it has auto drive if I need it and jack made the car its very safe" he said so he followed bumblebee to base. Danny and arcee had never properly met only on the video calls so when arcee rode up scaring the hell out of him he pulled a gun he had ready he was hidden in an abandoned mechanic garage, arcee transformed and danny lowered the gun, "what's with the gun?" she asked "doesn't matter what are you doing here and how did you find me?" he asked worried and confused, "jack" that's all she said "now come on we are heading to base to meet the others" she said, she was not in the mood, danny then got in the muddy old car and started following arcee she didn't even notice she was so in her thoughts grieving about jack. Fowler and optimus arrived first wendy hugging him tightly with worry, then raf and bumblebee, then miko and bulkhead then finally arcee and danny. Danny didn't know jack was dead so when he went in and saw everyone crying and grieving and didn't see jack he knew he ran up to miko and raf to be sure, they were both crying and danny's heart stopped, he passed out and blacked out. "Did he not know?" miko said to arcee who shrugged, optimus helped danny on to the couch, "why did he pass out?" bulkhead asked, "danny is basically jack's son" miko said and arcee now felt guilty and the bots now wanted to protect him the most. When danny woke up he was so depressed and sad, fowler then came to the three "do you still have the relics?" he asked and all three held out there relics, raf had the knuckles, danny had the gauntlet and miko and the generator, "why did you two get the cool relics and I got a dumb generator?" miko asked annoyed, "you have the apex armour jack gave us these in case we got found and needed the protection" danny said and miko realised. "So what now?" raf asked optimus who was very sad about jack, "I do not know" he said shocking everyone. Jack woke up in a lot of pain, his plane had crashed but he managed to crawl into a cave to heal, he healed himself fully it took two hours of pure concentration but he did it then he slept unconscious from the energy used for two days. When he woke he wrote in his journal to calm himself and to gather his thoughts, everyone thought he was dead, he could use that as an advantage so he started coming up with a plan.

chapter 17

WRECKENING

The next two days nobody said much everyone was quiet and grieving the humans cried a lot, the bots punched and worked out a lot trying to distract themselves and optimus and arcee were like ghosts from there grief. "We should blow up this shadow's base and see how he likes it!" wheeljack said angrily, "we don't know where his base is" raf said depressing everyone even more. The news was on the tv then it got hacked "guys!" miko yelled so everyone came over, "jacky? Where are youuuu if you and your pathetic team don't surrender yourselves I am gonna kill an entire city first jasper then maybe vegas so you better come stop me hahahhaha!" he said evilly then the news went back, "scrap" bumblebee said, "what do we do?" wendy asked, "we stop his plan" optimus said, "its probably a weapon I mean silas was his father" raf said none of the bots knew that, "why was he after jack?" arcee asked, "jack killed silas" miko said and the bots froze in shock and disbelief, "WHAT!?" ratchet yelled, "years ago, jack was in the army and his team was ambushed by silas taking them, jack was tortured for days by silas asking where the autobots were and the base, but jack never gave in instead he escaped and freed his team but had to kill silas in the process" danny said and they all tried processing this but felt guilty. "So jack kills now?" arcee asked shocked, "yeah he has had to has around a 50 kill count" fowler said shocking everyone even the kids, "50 how?" miko asked and fowler became guilty he accidentally said that, "a month or so ago jack was kidnapped and had to kill to get his way out" fowler said nervously and everyone gasped, "HE WHAT WHY DIDN'T HE TELL US!?" miko yelled at fowler, "he didn't want you to know or worry" fowler said and miko calmed, "so how do we stop this attack on jasper?" bulkhead asked, "there is something you should know about shadow" raf said nervously, "he injects himself with unicron's blood making him stronger, faster and angrier and he now has the ability to raise undead humans and bots" raf said and they all went wide eyed in terror, "jack is the only one who has ever fought him and won" danny said shocking them more, "so he could be sending and undead army to kill everyone in jasper?" smokescreen asked in horror and the kids nodded, "how do you kill them?" wheeljack asked, "blow them up, cut off there heads, stab them the normal but more effort" miko said and the bots just didn't know what to say. "Raf show them the drone feed of miko fighting the small group of undead humans and bots" fowler said and raf put it on the big screen they watched in horror at the creatures attacking miko and how much effort it took for her to kill them. "Scrap" bulkhead said, "or it could be a weapon" danny said hoping, "agent fowler can you start and evacuation" optimus asked and fowler nodded and made a phone call. "You guys have been fighting those!?" smokescreen asked in shock, "sometimes but mainly just robots and insecticons which shadow control" miko said and there jaw's dropped. "Evacuation has started but I think we found shadow's base" fowler said getting everyone's attention, "then lets go blow it up!" wheeljack said holding a grenade, "I agree" optimus said shocking everyone. So all the autobots and humans apart from fowler and wendy who went to update general bryce went to the warehouse. Jack had come up with a plan when the tv was hacked, he pulled over from his motorbike and watched the screen, he knew his team and the autobots were gonna try and stop it. He got on his motorcycle and headed for the new backup bed he had made that not even fowler new about, it was a complete replica just a different mountain, jack had even copied everyone's rooms. He drove in and started searching for his team, what he found wasn't good, he found his team and the autobots at shadow's warehouse, scrap. He sent a drone through a ground bridge and watched, they were fighting an undead army even raf was fighting with his guns and weapons, and surprisingly well. He watched as they all got captured even the bots, they were all injured but what made his heart stop was that danny was unconscious. He had to rescue them. Alone. He shrunk his motorcycle putting on the chain with his dog tags and made sure he had plenty of ammo and his weapons were ready. He then got in the plane jet, he knew all the autobots could fit plus the humans but he hoped he could get them all first. He landed the jet about a mile away and camouflaged it, he was in full combat gear and was pissed. He sat down in a meditation position in the jet and focused, he used one of his powers and astral projected, he walked into the warehouse taking mental notes of everything, all the undead guards where they are how many, everything, they couldn't see him but he could see them he found where everyone was being help, saw there depressed and hopeless faces and anger, he then saw shadow's plans and all his bases and everything jack then returned to his body. Jack grabbed a decoy motorbike and ran full speed with his enhanced speed to the warehouse saying out of sight and not making a sound, he threw the motorbike on the ground enlarging it then set auto drive and self destruct he aimed for the massive turret outside the base, the motorbike came speeding out of nowhere and blew the massive turret up shaking the hole base. Everyone in the cell felt the shake and heard the explosion, "what's going on?" miko asked, "I don't know" optimus said now all the autobots were listening trying to figure out what happened, "apparently a motorbike self destructed into the turret" bulkhead said and they saw all the kids faces light up, "what colour was the bike?" miko asked desperately, "black" arcee said and they kids cheered and celebrated, "what?" bumblebee, "that's jack's bike he's alive and is here" raf said the bots gasped and had hope again, "there is an army he can't get through that" wheeljack said, "yes he can" raf said smiling. Jack watched as soldiers with guns ran to the turret then in the direction the bike came from, jack was already gone from there, all the undead humans and zombies were standing in a warehouse not moving jack snuck in and torched the hole place with another one of his powers, he burst into flames apart from his head and killed them all, they turned to ash, army down now just shadow and guards, he thought. Jack but a bomb in the warehouse and got far enough away then blew it shaking everything again, "what was that?" raf asked, "jack bombed the warehouse with the entire undead army" arcee said cheering and everyone else did as well, "sounded like a big bomb" wheeljack said jealous, "jack is super smart he finally managed to make the device took him two years" miko said cheering. Jack watched as more soldiers went to the building he bombed, jack then used a grenade launcher taking out all four watch towers, blowing them up and killing the snipers and guards in them, everyone felt and heard four explosions, "jack took out the watchtowers and snipers" smokescreen said and everyone cheered, more soldiers ran to the four and some ran in the direction of the grenades, soldiers were everywhere but there weren't any in the warehouse shadow was alone with maybe five guards, jack threw knifes perfectly taking out all the cameras, "jack took out the cameras" bumblebee said and they cheered again. Jack flew from his location through the air out of sight and into the base he killed the five guys since they all tried to shoot him but his suit was bullet proof, "jack just killed the only five guys in the base apart from shadow" arcee said but nobody cheered this time they were staying quiet to hear. "SHADOW" jack yelled everyone even the kids heard it, it was calm but you could tell he was pissed, shadow came out of the office facing jack "im impressed" he said noticing the five dead guys, "give me the keys" he said "why don't you just go and pull the door of like last time?" he asked, "you and I both know that cell Is booby trapped if its tampered with even if I go in there the cell explodes unless I have the key" jack said and the humans and bots froze he knew that and started getting paranoid looking for the traps, "impressive but if you want them you have to take them" he said, "I already did" jack said and everyone even shadow was confused he checked his pocket it was gone he looked up and jack was holding the key, "how?" he asked and jack smirked, "I was stalling" jack said as he walked to the room with the cell, jack quickly threw something at shadow and he was then launched back and restrained to the wall unable to move, jack got to the cell and unlocked the cell, now the bots could see him, "woah you look so different" bulkhead said, "catch up later now come on" jack said he then led them out, they got to the front of the base and all the soldiers jack had led away were waiting with the guns pointed, what shocked everyone was that jack laughed, "so predictable" he yelled, jack took something from his neck and put it in miko's hand she knew instantly what it was, "follow it on my signal" jack said so the soldiers couldn't hear, jack then out of nowhere held out his arms to the side confusing everyone and quickly clapped them together and the soldiers were launched backwards through the air and a pathway was made straight through them, miko threw the motorbike and miko and raf got on and it started speeding to the jet from auto drive set by jack then autobots transformed and followed the bike optimus had the unconscious danny so was quickly following but arcee stayed worried and in shock looking at jack "GO MAKE SURE THEY GET THERE I'LL BE FINE!" he yelled shooting soldiers with perfect aim she transformed and speeded after them, the soldiers had now gotten up and held there guns at him "sorry did you need them?" he asked pointing at the group speeding away, "tough" he said calmly but threatening, jack then started fighting them all killing them so quickly stabbing, shooting breaking there necks, he took down at least twenty in a minute he was surrounded by there dead bodies when he completely surrounded, jack then held out his hands to the side again and spun quickly fire coming out of his hands and burning the soldiers, they all screamed in pain holding the pain, jack then knocked them out as they fell to the floor, more soldiers kept coming but he was just distracting, now hopefully everyone was in the jet, jack had told it to take off and head to the new base the second they were all in and not him, when he saw the jet take of and then camouflage flying away in the distance he knew they were safe, jack then carried on fighting using his powers, enhancements all his fighting styles and taking out the guards, the ones that shot at him and tried to kill him he killed others he burnt with fire and knocked out, when he was clear he took a final look back, the place was covered with fire and dead and unconscious bodies no guards in sight apart from the ones in the base helping shadow, once he was clear he pressed the trigger, he had put c4 in all the dead bodies so they couldn't be brought back as undead, and the unconscious ones he had thrown to the side so they wouldn't be blown up, jack then flew through the air making sure not to be seen or heard to the base, he was covered in blood not his but he didn't care. They were speeding on jack's bike going to who knows where with the autobots following when they saw the jet, "I thought the jet crashed and exploded" raf said getting in all the autobots got in and transformed back, "it was jack must have another one" optimus said placing danny down on a medical bed, then the ramp shut and they took off, "what's happening? Who's piloting? Where are we going? Where is jack!?" miko said then a voice came through the ship, "jack darby gave me orders to take you to base without him" the AI said, "who are you?" ratchet asked, "The jets AI system" the voice said, "that's new" raf said impressed, "take us back" miko said, "sorry jack darby ordered me I am not to return only get you to the base safely" the AI said, "is he okay?" bulkhead asked, "his vitals are fine" the AI said, "the drone is missing" raf said, "jack darby used the drone to see the base" the AI said, "is the feed still on?" raf asked, "Yes" the AI said, "Let us watch" miko said then a big tv screen appeared showing the live feed, it showed jack killing and burning people like a machine everyone was wide eyed and jaw dropped, they noticed him seeing the jet taking off, then he started heading away, "he was distracting them from us" miko said and everyone felt guilty, they saw him press a button and then the dead people exploded, "he didn't want them to be raised undead" raf said proud of jack, they then saw him fly, "HE CAN FLY!?" miko yelled in shock they were all impressed with jack, "AI where is this base?" optimus asked noticing they weren't going to the original one, "Jack has a secret backup base in case the first one got destroyed I have orders to take you there" the AI said and everyone was impressed again, "jack was so prepared" arcee said proud and impressed then they heard a thud on the roof of the jet making them all jump "Guys let me in open the ramp" jack said through the jet's comm so everyone heard, raf opened the ramp and jack flew in shutting the ramp behind him, everyone cringed at the blood and jack noticed so he turned he watch to the left transforming him back into his normal clothes. The autobots jaw's dropped at seeing him transform, jack ran to danny and started checking him over, "miko, raf get in here now!" he ordered and they ran in "transform and help me" he said calm but strict, the autobots just watching silently in shock, miko and raf transformed into there normal clothes, jack instructed them what to do "AI how much longer?" he asked, "twenty minutes" the AI said, then jack sensed something, "AI do we have bogies?" he asked "yes I believe you should pilot" the AI said, "try not to move him that much and buckle in!" jack told everyone as he ran to the cockpit taking the stick. Miko, raf buckled in and the autobots braced themselves and ratchet held onto danny. Then the jet started spinning, turning, diving and they all heard explosions, "MIKO GUNS!" jack said through the jet comm, she unbuckeld herself and wobbled her way to the guns trying not to fall from the turning, then she was in she put on the headset so everyone and jack could hear her, "miko when i spin shoot the jet out of the sky" jack ordered, "copy" she said getting ready, the plane spun and she fired everyone heard an explosion and miko cheered and everyone smiled, "keep shooting them ignore the missiles aim for the jets" jack ordered so she did and she had a massive grin. "They won't go down!" she said, "there reinforced!" she yelled in panic, "wheeljack come take the stick!" jack ordered surprising everyone, he flipped a switch and a big walkway cleared for him to fit through he then took over piloting, "keep dodging the missiles I have the jets, miko shoot the missiles out of the sky!" jack ordered them both he then walked easily to the ramp not fazed by any of it and not stumbling from all the spins and turns, he opened the ramp and flew out everyone watching from the empty ramp, jack flew up to the jet and placed a bomb then another bomb on the other and then flew back standing on the ramp he pressed a button. BOOM, both jets exploded and fell crashing into the ground on fire, jack then shut the ramp. Everyone was speechless at what had just happened they all thought he was badass but shocked, jack then went back to the cockpit taking back over, "AI are bogies gone?" he asked, "yes" she said, "continue auto fly" he said then returned to danny, everyone could now stand and walk straight. "THAT WAS AWESOME!" miko yelled excitedly, he ignored her and continued patching up danny the best he could. "He is stable for now" jack said and they saw him relax a bit. "AI how long?" jack asked, "five minutes" the AI said. "Since when do we have AI and when did you make a secret back up base?" miko asked everyone listening, "remember about a month ago I said I thought shadow's attacks weren't random but strategic and trying to find the base that's when I got the base made with a few upgrades and came up with the plan and protocol in the case we were found" he said everyone even more impressed. "We are arriving now" the AI said, "jack were heading for the side of a mountain I think your navigation is off!" arcee said in panic as they kept flying into a mountain, jack had taken the stick back and everyone could see him flipping switches, pressing buttons, then a large gap in the mountain opened and jack flew in it closed behind them jack landed and opened the ramp and everyone got out. "It looks exactly the same as our last one" miko said happily, "it is I only added a few small upgrades like the AI, we all got used to the old base so I didn't change the layout or anything" jack said, miko and raf gave the autobots a tour explaining everything, they were impressed. Jack dealt with danny's injuries.

Chapter 18

THE CATCH UP

They finished the tour and got back to the med bay and saw jack freaking out, the hole time they had been here jack was always calm now he was panicking. "Jack's what's wrong?" raf asked panicking, "danny's vitals are dropping and I don't know why" he said frantically checking danny for injuries he then pulled a gadget from a medical draw and scanned danny, he let out a gasp worrying everyone, he then got straight to work, "jack what's happening?" miko asked freaking out, "danny is dying" he said and they gasped and started to cry, they all saw danny's vitals dropping then jack injected him with something and the vitals stabilized and everyone breathed again, "what did you do?" ratchet asked jack looked at them so sadly, "I had to put him in a medically induced coma" jack said, "when will he wake up?" raf asked with tears, "I don't know could be hours, days, weeks, months even years he will wake when he is healed" jack said raf and miko burst into tears and hugged jack he stayed strong for them by not crying yet and comforting them. Jack then saw the time on his watch, "you two should go to bed its been a few crazy hours and you need rest" he said then they went to bed, "there is a spare room for all of you so you can go and recharge" jack said to them so they all did, jack was now alone with danny and his thoughts. He stayed by danny's bed side and wrote in his journal everything that happened and is happening how scared, worried and everything he felt how he feels now sat next to danny and everything he was thinking about. Then optimus came walking in and saw jack writing away, "can't sleep?" jack asked not looking up but knowing optimus was there, it shocked optimus but he smiled, "no you?" he said, "to much on my mind" he said writing away, "what are you writing?" optimus asked sitting down, "sort of like my journal helps to calm me and helps me to think I've been writing in it since I joined the army I write what happened how I felt and what Im thinking I write plans and notes everything, I can just write everything down it helps to process." jack said impressing optimus, then a photograph fell out and optimus picked it up looking at it, he chuckled making jack look up, "oh yeah me and the team had been fighting bots for two weeks straight and never got much rest so I spoke with fowler and the pentagon and they let us take a few days off, I surprised the team taking us all to florida for a few days to have fun and relax" jack said smiling from remembering, "that's a great idea" optimus said making a mental note. When he finally finished writing he shut the book and looked fully at optimus, "im sorry if I scared you all on the call but I didn't have much time" jack said, "It is quite alright it all worked out" he said, jack then looked at danny sadly which optimus noticed, "miko said danny is like your son is that true?" he asked and jack nodded, "he called me dad once he doesn't remember and if he did he hasn't said so, we had gotten back from the all and danny was really upset he ended up crying himself to sleep in my arms so I took carried him to his room and he called me dad" jack said smiling making optimus smile. "Jack may I ask how you got the scar on your face" optimus asked nervously, "my father, he experimented on me giving me enhancements but when I escaped he tried to kill me giving me the scar" jack said remembering the traumatic event. "Im sorry jack" optimus said and jack smiled, "its alright he's dead and the enhancements help when your fighting robots and insecticons or carrying a huge and heavy prime shield" jack joked and prime chuckled. "Okay im gonna head to bed or try and sleep anyway, night optimus" jack said getting up and walking to his room, optimus just smiled and watched. Jack got a few hours of sleep but because of his enhancement he didn't need much so he was awake a 5am the only one in the base, jack cleaned his suit and weapons reloading and grabbing more ammo everything he needed then got changed into his workout outfit, he then went into the gym, since nobody was awake he deactivated the device glamouring his arm so he had a full silver metal bucky barnes style arm and started working out, he was working out topless and in combat trousers to get more power on his swings and everything, he was doing some pull-ups when someone came in it was arcee she just stood watching in amazement until he noticed and jumped down from the bar and putting a shirt on and activating the device. "what's up cee?" he asked "I heard someone in the gym and was curious did I disturb you?" she asked, "no it's fine" he said walking out with arcee next to him, "it's really impressive what you've built and accomplished" she said and jack smiled, "the original autobot base needed an upgrade" he joked and arcee laughed, "compared to this base I agree" she said and jack chuckled, "although I don't know what that room is" she said pointing to the wreck room, jack smiled, "that's the wreck room its soundproof and safe mostly I built it so test out new weapons and gadgets plus we can just smash and break things in there if were mad or something" jack said and arcee was impressed. They talked for like an hour when jack noticed the time they carried on talking as jack made breakfast for everyone impressing arcee even more. Then they all woke up from the amazing smell at 7.30am they sat down and dug in happily, miko noticed jack chuckling as they walked in sleepily with bed hair, "what?" she asked, "I didn't have to get the frying pans out this time" he said cheekily and she groaned at the joke. Fowler and wendy had arrived and were eating as well. "How did you survive the crash?" fowler asked as they were sat down eating family style, "I crawled from the crash sight with burns and broken legs to a cave where I healed myself but then I was unconscious for two days, when I found out about the hack on the tv I came here and sent a drone just in time to see everyone fight and get captured" jack said everyone listening, "really impressive raf your fighting has come a long way" jack said and raf lit up. When they finished bulkhead asked "what have you guys been up to since you reunited?", miko lit up and got raf to show all the drone feed videos of there best missions, everyone would watch laughing and cheering at parts, wide eyed and jaw dropped at others, mainly everyone was in shock by how badass jack and miko were. "So apart from you guys destroying bots, getting relics and fighting shadow anything else? Bulkhead asked and miko started laughing, "jack got arrested" she said and everyone was shocked and looked at jack who rubbed the back of his neck nervously, "why?" arcee asked in pure shock she never thought jack would get arrested, "vince knocked danny unconscious so jack beat him up it was hilarious I think we still have the photo of vince crying" miko said showing the photo and everyone laughed, "also me and jack got tattoos" miko said showing all he tattoos, then jack showing his sleeve and should tattoo, "did you know jack is gay? We were on a vacation and we saw jack kissing a cute guy and going into his room" miko said giggling and everyone raised eyebrows at at jack, "there is a bunch more but that's mainly it" she said. Fowler then remembered something and took an envelope out of his pocket giving it took jack, jack opened it and started reading, everyone watching curiously then jack froze in shock "jack you okay?" arcee asked worried jack looked like he was gonna collapse then his face changed and everyone saw, rage, hate, fury, jacks body started smoking "jack your smoking" miko said, everyone was becoming scared, jacks hand holding the paper burst into flames destroying the paper jack then stormed into the wreck room, everyone watching scared and worried he stood for a minutes steaming the he let out a loud yell and he burst into flames launching fire out of his hands and mouth in the box, he fell to his knees and the flames vanished, miko and raf ran in knelt down as jack started to brake down so they took him in there arms and he burst into tears. Everything had caught up and that bit of information he just got sent him into overdrive. Nobody had ever seen jack like this, it deeply worried them, when he stopped crying he walked out of the room miko and raf following and he ignored everyone going to his room, he then instantly started writing in his journal what he found out what just happened and he he felt and now. Everyone watched as jack went into his room looking very depressed, they didn't know what to do or what he was reading but could tell that explosion wasn't just from the info it was built up. He was writing when he got a knock on the door "come in" he yelled not looking up and they all came in, the bots had never seen jack's room and it was really impressive especially the weapons wall, they all watched him writing away, "what's that? OH MY GOD DOES JACK HAVE A DIARY!?" miko squealed excitedly but raf gave her a glare and she calmed, "jack are you okay?" fowler asked, "yes im fine" he said not looking up and still writing optimus understood he was not, optimus gestured for everyone to go outside, so they did confused. "Last night jack told me he wrote in that book whenever something happened he struggled to cope with, he said he talked about what happened and how he felt, if we get that book we find out what sent jack over the edge" optimus said and miko grinned. Everyone nodded in agreement.

CHAPTER 19

THE BOOK

Jack went out to get some air so miko ran in and took jack's journal he returned and went to bed but everyone stayed up and sat down as fowler red the journal for everyone, (only some written are red)

"ive been in the army almost a year now ive had friends die and ive killed I find my training easy and I miss home and everyone.

I have two weeks free, im going to surprise everyone back home: miko, raf, fowler, ratchet and mom. I just escaped my father he grabbed me on my way to jasper said my dna was different that im to become a super soldier he had me for two weeks locked up in a lab restrained experimenting on me, he injected me with serums and threatened to hurt the ones I love if I didn't do as he said, HE HAD LIVE VIDEO FEEDS OF THERE HOMES! I was his lab rat for two weeks when I finally escaped apparently his experiments worked im stronger, faster I can hear, see, smell better everything is heightened and I now have a sixth sense for danger, I broke out of the restraints but my father would not let me leave he attacked me trying to kill me so I had to kill him, I stabbed him and he bled out in seconds, im so alone

Nobody knew about my enhanced abilities now they do, me and my team were on a mission our commander said it was a hostage situation he was wrong it was an ambush, we tried to fight but we lost I lost three more friends that day, at first I was confused why was I being taken to a different place then my team then I found out silas. He had set a trap for my team for me, he had me for days, starving, beating and torturing me he wanted to know where the autobots were and there base even if I had told him the autobots were gone I could never tell him where the base is, miko and raf are there, when I was finally left alone I broke free, I had to knock out some guards but I found my team locked up in a cell I got them out we were heading for our armoured trucks hidden a mile away, I was at the back since I was quite badly injured and slower, but silas caught me, I told my team to run to go but they refused silas and his guards shot and killed them all in front of me, I got so mad I attacked them they were shooting at me trying to kill me but I was faster and stronger I killed them all, snapping there necks and stabbing or shooting them with there own weapons then silas cut my arm clean of, I screamed in pain I was bleeding a lot but I used all my strength and with the sword silas used on me I cut his head of with one swing, I then barely made it to a hospital before going unconscious from blood loss, I don't know what happened when my friends died I only saw red and I don't regret it its scary I killed them easy, my father was right I am a monster. I now have a prosthetic but I hate it so im definitely going to make my own I think im done with the army I did three years

Ive been travelling the world learning and fighting I will protect miko and raf I wont let anyone else die, I have mastered five fighting styles so far plus weapons, my arm is always glamoured because I don't like the staring and judging, in a year I join back with miko and raf and fowler and become team leader, I have sent fowler some blueprints to a new base but im still working on everything else

June Darby is dead, she was murdered I called home saying but I never said how, they don't know she was murdered and the detectives don't know who by, my mothers killer is free and clear she was raped and beaten to death and they don't know who by! I just want to scream and punch someone, im so alone and lost im always angry and depressed, I miss my friends

Within the last two years I have mastered 16 different fighting styles plus my weapons training, im on my way to jasper now and im really nervous, will they accept me? Ive killed, I have scars, im a monster not a leader, I just want to protect them that's what the last five years of training have been about, im not the same person I was five years ago I have demons and traumas I don't want to burden them with my darkness. Im at base now catched up with everyone a little I don't really want to talk about my past they wont look at me the same im keeping my abilities and arm a secret I cant lose them too, on my way to town I saw vince beating up a boy a little younger than raf, I beat vince enough to get him away from the boy he was so sad and in so much pain he wouldn't survive long enough for me to get him to a hospital so I brought him to base, I helped him and stabilized him, I don't know why but I am drawn to him to protect him, once I knew danny was safe and he was asleep I turned around and miko and raf were staring I hate it when I get stared at they instantly asked about the scar on my face I didn't want to tell them but I knew they would push so I was vague. It was great seeing them and seeing how much they haven't changed they were so happy, I don't remember being that happy

Everything at base has been going well, thankfully they don't know about my past and im not as depressed and alone any more danny is fitting in well and today we had our first mission, I was using my enhancements secretly and easily taking down some bots but miko needed help, I had to use my enhancement to protect miko, now they know, they asked, how I hated it my past was coming up, I told them as little as I could trying to shield them from my darkness and trauma luckily they didn't push

My team, my family is in danger because of something I did years ago, because I was a monster and killed silas my team was put in danger, MIKO WAS KIDNAPPED and danny had a gun to his head, its all my fault. I have silas's son after me, how do I protect them now? There going to ask why he is after me and im gonna have to talk about my past again but im not giving them details I might even lie, I don't want them to know what a monster I was.

Im not sure im cut out to be a leader, I don't know if im making the right decisions, I worry and doubt everything I do. so much has happened I don't know if I can trust me myself yet alone with danny, raf and miko's lives, what if something happens because of me? What if they die?

Im doing everything I can to keep them safe, I have them doing self defence and offence classes, im training them Im working on new suits for everyone that hopefully will make them rpg proof, I have armoured and indestructible vehicles and protocols in place but I still worry.

Shadow is becoming to dangerous its scaring me I need to be strong and calm for the team but today we fought the undead, that is terrifying. I've noticed shadow doing random attacks but I don't think there random I think were being hunted, the team thinks im mad maybe I am maybe im paranoid but im having a secret backup base built and im making a new protocol called R.A.H (run and hide) I hope i never have to use it but if I do at least it is ready.

I just woke up ive been unconscious, I had to do protocol R.A.H, I got everyone out with the relics in the armoured and indestructible vehicles and I destroyed the bridge and console once they were safe and through, I needed to by time whilst all the files we had deleted and the self destruct started, I managed to get the jet out of the base just in time since the mountain collapsed thanks to the missiles then the mountain exploded due to the self destruct. I knew I couldn't escape in the jet without being seen and I had to send the distress signal, I used the guns on the jet and took out as many insecticons, bots and jets as I could the more I destroy the less there are hunting my family, I don't know if the distress call went out and if the autobots got it I hope they did they would all be alone, scared and in danger. My jet went down but somehow I survived im guessing due to my new superpowers I couldn't walk since my legs were broken and I was badly burned I crawled to a cave and focused for like two hours healing myself then blacked out for two days until now. I need a plan I need to make sure my team is alive and okay and I need to stop shadow!

The monster was unleashed today and I hated it. Shadow had the autobots and my team, I had to rescue them, I had to help and protect them so I came up with a plan. The plan worked they all got out and to the jet safely but danny was hurt bad. I did everything I could, I had to make sure they made it out, I don't know if they saw the drone feed but if they did they must know what a monster I am, I killed again, they were already dead but it doesn't matter the abomination and killing machine was unleashed I never wanted to kill again especially after the lab, my kill count keeps getting bigger its scaring me how easily I can kill. They know about my powers now luckily they didn't ask I wouldn't have told them not that, when we were in base I was grateful miko an raf led everyone away, I couldn't deal with the staring and questions, to everyone I was calm and staying strong but inside I was crying and screaming, but when I had to put danny in the coma some of the sadness showed, I wasn't strong I tried to be but danny is like my son. I know the autobots were staring desperate to ask the questions but I cant tell them then they will feel guilty. Everyone went to bed or recharge and it was nice, the silence the none staring I was sat with danny, im trying to be strong but I want to break down my thoughts are going to fast and are to haywire man I just want to wack my head against a wall. Danny wouldn't be in a coma right now if I hadn't let him stay or if maybe I did something different its all my fault.

I lost control in front of everyone, im so angry with myself they shouldn't have had to see that, I broke. I got the results back and I reacted everything that I pushed down came right up, I found out who murdered my mother. I couldn't control it I exploded I was weak now everyone is worried and the questions are gonna start coming up and my darkness. I found out shadow raped and beat my mother to death, she died because of me because shadow wanted revenge. I try so hard to stay calm and be strong but when I found out I wasn't calm I was vengeful, the monster came out and I couldn't hide it. Im scared of what I might do im just so angry, shadow murdered my mother, kidnapped miko and put a gun to danny's head, he beat fowler, he kidnapped wendy, fowler, raf, miko and danny, he scared them, he attacked and destroyed the base and now danny is in a coma, he needs to die! Ive been trying to calm down but nothing is working he has gone to far and I wont lose any more friends I need to protect them even if protecting them means destroying my sole."

Nobody knew what to say they just listened to seven years of jacks life, to everything he hid from them, to everything he had done and been through, to everything he shielded them from, to everything he felt and thought. They couldn't process it all it was his darkness he had been through a lot and they had no idea, he always seemed okay. "Jack is suffering" miko said breaking the silence, "I never knew" raf said still trying to process it all. Then jack came out of his room, he looked at confused they all looked horrified and were in shock and other expressions they were silent and all staring at him wide eyed with different expressions, sympathy, shock, fear, anger, sadness. Then jack saw his book in fowler's hand he knew they had red it, he sprinted and got on his motorbike and speeded away with his thoughts, fear and shame. They red his book they know everything there faces were horrified they knew he was a monster, oh god they knew it all, all the deaths, the killings, the feelings, the thoughts, they knew it all. They watched as he saw the book and his face changed from confusion to panic and fear but they couldn't look away knowing what they knew they could only watch as he speeded away in distress. "We shouldn't have red his book" arcee said with guilt still trying to process the seven years. Fowler went to the console connecting to jack's comm

"jack?" He said

"I know you can hear me, come back to base" he said

"I can't" he said everyone heard his voice, hopeless, depressed, given up

"Yes you can" fowler said

"YOU DON'T GET IT YOU KNOW EVERYTHING IM A MONSTER AND NOW YOU KNOW I CANT EVER SEE ANY OF YOU AGAIN!" jack yelled he only had sadness and emptiness no happiness and no hope

"Jack It won't change anything" fowler said

"It already has you didn't see your faces, fear" jack said and they all felt guilty

"it wasn't about you" he said

"Yes it was you all know the truth that im a monster an abomination a killing machine, you were scared of me" jack said

"That's why I protect you all and then im done" jack said so depressed

"What do you mean?" fowler asked freaking out thinking he knows

"You know now keep raf, danny and miko safe and goodbye forever" jack said then cut the comm

Fowler turned in panic and shock, "what does he mean?" bulkhead asked, "he's gonna kill shadow to protect us all and then kill himself" fowler said and everyone gasped with horror and started panicking. "What do we do you heard his voice he has lost everything and has given up" raf said, "we beat him to shadow and prove we still care and love him and that we are not afraid of him" optimus said and everyone agreed.

CHAPTER 20

THE FIGHT

Jack speeded as fast as his bike could go to shadow's location he had placed a secret tracker on him when he rescued everyone, nobody knew so he soon arrived. "SHADOW" he yelled, undead guards came out surrounding him aiming there guns and jack didn't care, "SHADOW" he yelled and shadow came forward, "its time we end this a fight to the death just you and me" jack said angrily, "what's got you so mad?" shadow grinned, "you murdered my mother" he said and shadow laughed, "fine" he said gesturing for all the soldiers to lower there weapons, now both shadow and jack got in there fighting positions with there weapons ready, jack had doused his katanas, knifes and gun ammo in quick action poison so one cut, stab and bullet and shadow was dead. Shadow charged and jack dodged they fought for a few minutes then jack cut shadow on the back with his katana as he back flipped over him, shadow yelled in pain but carried on attacking, jack shot, stabbed, cut shadow but he would not die, finally jack cut shadow's head clean off, now he was dead, he watched as the purple faded and returned to red, all the undead guards collapsed to the ground no longer purple just dead bodies, shadow had got to stabs and cuts on jack so he was limping and bleeding. Jack looked at shadow's dead body with emptiness, no remorse, no regret, just nothing he then got back on his motorbike transformed back to normal and speeded away. The autobots and jacks team finally found shadow but when they got there shadow was headless bleeding on the floor and there was dead bodies everywhere, "were to late jack killed him" miko said in panic and fear. "What now?" arcee asked in complete panic, "we split up and find jack" optimus said so they all speeded away in different locations looking for jack. Jack speeded to the cliff he always goes to for air and to think, it was peaceful and calming he enjoyed it, he parked and walked sitting at the edge of the cliff with his feet hanging over the edge, he was so in his dark thoughts he didn't hear a vehicle drive up behind him. Optimus. Optimus remembered a cliff jack referred to a lot a place he would go to think and be alone, the name was mentioned once but optimus remembered it, when he saw jack sitting on the edge so depressed, alone and empty he comm'd everyone and started walking to jack slowly. "Jack" optimus said making him jump and panic, when jack saw optimus he scooched closer to the edge making optimus stop walking, "go away optimus" jack said his voice was hollow and empty it shocked optimus. "Jack come away from the edge" he said, "you know everything everyone does" he said scooching closer of the edge panicking optimus, "it doesn't change anything" he said, "your wrong" jack said getting closer to the edge one more time and jack was over, optimus panicking like hell and trying to talk jack down, "jack come on back lets all talk about it let us help you" optimus said, jack looked at him with tears "you can't nobody can" he said then jumped off, optimus freaked out and sprinted forward catching jack by the wrist, "LET GO!" he yelled fighting to get free, "no I will not let you die" optimus said starting to pull jack up, "that isn't your choice" jack said lighting his hand on fire and making optimus let go, he then fell. He didn't die, he looked around why didn't he die someone had caught him, arcee, no. "Arcee why just let me be with him!?" he said with a hollow voice, "you aren't dyeing" she said, "I deserve it so sorry but I am" he said before flying out of her hand into the sky, "jack!" she yelled up at him, he then flew away, scrap. But she had placed a tracker on him. Jack flew he didn't know where he just did, he flew to the abandoned house miles from where he was, he paced in dark thoughts. The autobots and humans speeding as fast and they could to jack's location. He then took a gun from his combat suit and aimed it at his head, he was about to pull the trigger when the gun went flying out of his hand he turned to see bulkhead and miko, miko had shot the gun from his hand, he growled in anger as he turned around, "just let me go" he pleaded with them but they frowned and shook there heads, they started running towards him to restrain him but he used his enhanced speed to run out the door since he sensed someone on the roof in case he flew again, jack then threw his bike from his neck to the floor it enlarged and he speeded away everyone following from the tracker. He pulled over at a gas station and found the tracker he then got back on his bike the first car that drove past he placed the tracker on. "SCRAP HE FOUND THE TRACKER WE LOST HIM" bulkhead said panicking and angrily through the comm. Jack rode to the cliff again knowing the autobots would have left and probably wouldn't think he was going back there, he shrunk the motorbike placing around his neck and sat back on the cliff. Optimus and arcee knew jack to well so thought he would go back and when they saw him sitting at the edge they comm's everyone. He was sat crying crawled up in a ball, "what's the plan?" arcee whispered to optimus, "talking won't woke out only option is restraining him" he said to her, "how he can fly and melt our servos" arcee asked then ratchet drove up as if on cue handing them some robot sized gloves, "if he uses fire they won't melt" ratchet said. They started to silently walk towards jack, jack sensed them behind him he looked behind just as optimus and arcee grabbed him, he burst into flames but nothing worked he tried using his super strength to break free but they were stronger, "LET ME GO" he yelled at them begging them but they wouldn't he was fighting, screaming, crying, fidgeting, he couldn't escape, jack deactivated the glamour on his arm and charged it, his fist started to glow then optimus and arcee we flung through the air and jack was released he took his motorbike and threw it on the floor then speeded away from them, then black. Bulkhead rammed into jack knocking him into a tree unconscious, "YEAH!" miko cheered getting out of bulkhead and running over to jack doing a little victory dance, "miko!" bulkhead said all serious, arcee and optimus now came over recovering from the blast and saw jack, "what happened to you two?" bulkhead asked noticing them both with dents and covered with mud, "jack did what did you do?" arcee asked seeing the unconscious jack on the floor, "we rammed into him knocking him unconscious" miko said so hyperlly. "What now?" arcee asked as optimus picked jack up and transformed, "we help him" he said, bulkhead and arcee then transformed and headed back for base and miko rode jacks motorbike. Everyone was waiting at base, ratchet and raf had made the wreck room a cell so jack couldn't escape or harm himself, so they told optimus to put him in there. They didn't know how to help him so they all sat standing and waiting outside the see through box for jack to waken. Two hours later and he did, at first he panicked and freaked out then realised where he was and calmed down, then he saw everyone staring at him with fear again and he panicked and became even more depressed, which they all noticed, "blackout" jack said and the wreck room was no longer see through the walls were pitch black and they couldn't see inside. "What just happened?" miko said freaking out, "jack must have secret voice commands" ratchet said as him and raf tried to override it, they were all on edge and panicking. Jack sat and astral projected listening to what they were saying and watching them freaking out. "Do something!" miko said to them, "there's nothing we can do" raf said in defeat, "so that monster could break out and we wouldn't know?" wheeljack asked, "yes" bulkhead said. Fowler now walked in "what happened?" he asked seeing all there faces, "jack is in there" arcee said pointing to wreck room. "then undo it" he said simply, "we cant" ratchet said, "yes you can" fowler said, "wreck room clear" fowler said and the blackout ended, they saw jack in a meditation pose on the floor with his back to them, "what Is he doing?" smokescreen asked, "meditating?" fowler said shocked. "So what do we do we can't leave him in there forever" bumblebee said "we do a cortical physic patch" optimus said, "will it work on a human?" raf asked optimus looked at ratchet, "give me a few hours and it will" ratchet said, "what's a cortical physic patch?" fowler asked, "a way to go into somebodies mind" arcee said and fowler cringed, "who will go in jack's mind?" bulkhead asked "me" miko said, "no I will" optimus said. "Nobody is going in my mind!" jack said angrily, it made everyone jump they turned around and saw jack standing all serious, "how are you here and in there?" miko asked, "astral projection" he said, "nobody is going in my mind" he said with coldness making everyone shiver, "jack it might help" arcee said, "no it will only traumatise you all more" he said, "if anyone comes in here I will fight like hell autobot or human" he said and they knew he was serious, "we just want to help" miko said, "get this in your heads, I DON'T WANT ANY HELP" he said it so coldly everyone was scared, then the astral projection vanished, jack was still there but turned himself invisible. "Ratchet make the device" optimus said and ratchet nodded got to work.

Four hours later and the device was ready, "how are we gonna put it on him?" miko asked looking at jack who was now standing not facing them but ready to fight. Fowler pressed a button and a gas was released in the wreck room and now jack was unconscious, "there now hook him up" fowler said rushing them inside. They restrained jack and hooked him up as well as optimus, optimus shared his screen for everyone at base to see on the tv so they all sat watching. There was only darkness, optimus could feel what jack felt, he had never seen or felt someone so empty and depressed and hopeless, he walked in the pitch black for a while then found jack sat crawled up on the floor crying his feelings radiating strongly. "Jack" optimus said and jack's head shot up and he got all defensive, "calm down" he said, "you shouldn't be here!" he said crying and collapsing to his knees, "show me it all jack" optimus said, "no!" he said, "jack let me in" optimus said sitting next to jack crying, jack looked at optimus with so much pain everyone's hearts/sparks broke. "I didn't want you to know any of you" he said crying more,"im glad we did now we know your suffering" he said, "are they watching?" jack asked shocking optimus, "yes" he said, "get raf and miko to leave and I will let you in" he said so serious, the prime nodded and fowler forced them outside the base. "It is done" optimus said, "what do you want to know" jack asked empty, "everything start from the army" he said and flashes started showing like on a cinema tv screen, then a memory was shown it wasn't first person you could see jack fully and everything he did, jack was training doing shooting practice "YOU CAN DO BETTER DARBY!" the Sargent yelled at him making jack jump a little and focused more on shooting, then another memory flashed on the screen he was in a battlefield, bombs were going of and there was gun fire, people were dieing all around him and he was taking cover and shooting, "darby finish the mission!" the sargent yelled before getting shot and dieing next to him everyone at base watched as jack's entire team was shot and killed leaving him alone on a battlefield, the feelings were overpowering optimus he had to sit down and watch, the fear, the guilt, the grief. They watched as jack built up all the courage he could and snuck into there base placing a bomb and killing around a hundred, "mission complete" jack said through a radio getting back to base. They watched as his hole dead team was put in body bags and driven away. Optimus and everyone at base couldn't look away all filling with different emotions. Then the darkness returned and jack was crying on the floor again, "jack you mentioned a him, who is he?" optimus asked shocking jack, flashes started appearing then a memory, he was at the army base after his team was killed, "hey im alex" the handsome soldier said, "im jack" jack said, then the memory changed, alex and jack were laughing and messing about impersonating people and doing charades everyone watching smiled ad laughed at seeing him smile. The next memory took over jack and alex kissing and being happy, then more memories one after the other flashed and played jack and alex happy and a few of the kissing or sneaking away, "I love you jack" alex said, "I love you too" jack said and everyone at base was buzzing with excitement, there was a few more memories of them being happy and in love then, "alex marry me" jack said on one knee holding a ring, everyone held there breaths, and alex smiled and nodded they all cheered, they watched jack hug him and spin him kissing him then put him down and give him the ring, they were so happy, then it changed, "jack, alex you have a mission!" the commander yelled at them and everyone tensed, the next memory was more gunfire and bombs but alex was here, jack and alex were next to each other and shooting and avoiding bombs and gunfire. Then alex got shot and fell into jacks arms, "no" jack whispered which everyone heard as alex fell into his arms bleeding, jack was crying sat down on the battlefield, "jack" alex said smiling and jack had tears, "alex don't die I can get you to a medic" jack said panicking, alex took his hands "there's no time, be strong and know I love you" he said "I love you too" jack said as alex closed his eyes and stopped breathing, they watched as jack cried into alex's dead body in his arms, then the memory ended. The next memory was of miko, raf and danny, "why do you keep sneaking out?" they asked and everyone remembered this, "im dating someone" he said the next memory showed jack crying at a gravestone and they now knew he was lieing to the kids. Then memories of jack training on first aid, surgery, medicine him becoming a doctor. The blackness returned and jack was having trouble breathing from tears of reliving it all, "jack you need to keep going what happened next" optimus said, more memories appeared all with death and negativity, then he was kidnapped by his father. "Hello jack" the man said in a white lab coat, jack was tied and restrained to a lab table, "who are you?" jack asked, "im your father of course" he said and everyone in base gasped, "what do you want?" jack asked fighting the restraints, "to finish my experiment" he said as he started injecting jack with different serums, jack screamed in pain, "IT BURNS" he screamed twitch from pain there was more memories of pain and torture, then jack broke out, "you leave and I kill your mother, raf and miko" he said showing live feeds of there houses, everyone at base was furious, jack backed down got back on the lab table. The was more memories of screaming and pain then they watched jack give up and break out and kill his father In self defence. Then blackness. There was more memories of jack after that no happiness just death and war, then the ambush. Jack was tide to a chair and silas came in, they watched jack get tortured for days cut, whipped, starved everything they heard his screams of pain and optimus felt his fear, hopelessness, pain. They watched him escape and free his team and head back then silas came out and they were surrounded. They saw the team all die and jack letting the monster out and killing them all savagely then cutting silas's head clean off after losing his arm, everyone watching was speechless with disgust and shock. More memories showed, he left the army and started travelling the world to train, they saw him making his new arm, they saw everything. Then the reunion, they saw jack fight vince to help danny then speeding him to base, they saw him save him. They saw the first mission, they saw all the missions and optimus felt everything, the worry, the fear, the doubt they all watched all the missions some of the team being kidnapped all of them. Then they saw jack in the lab being experimented on again, they saw him escape and kill thirty people freeing other prisoners, then calling fowler they saw it all and optimus felt it all, guilt, fear, no regret. More memories played of everything then the screen showed all there reactions and faces after they red the book and saw jack, they all froze at how they looked at him. Then the memories of all three failed suicide attempts and in the cell, they saw him astral project and hear wheeljack and bulkhead call him a monster then blackness, they were all speechless, optimus still overwhelmed with jack's feelings, jack was crying on the floor gasping for air. "Ratchet pull us out" optimus said ratchet did and optimus tried to help jack who was gasping for air from a panic attack of it all. Nobody could process everything jack had been through, so much, they understood now. When jack calmed down he was even more depressed knowing they all knew and had seen, he couldn't look at them so he kept his back to them. He looked at his dog tags and took alex's tag off and held it in his hand and cried.
