Disclaimer I DON'T OWN anything but this version of Jack and so does Yubel578.
Yubel578 has come to me with an idea which I had gladly listened to and they have also helped me with designing the character and so I extend the rights of who this character belongs to them and I would also like you to leave reviews for both of us as I had never thought of doing something like this (Except Cerberus Prime since he is closest to this idea) and on that note I hope you lovely people enjoy this.
Reviews and PM's please note that those who leave sarcastic or a**hole notes about my stories or even about my standing I don't care and the reviews will be removed as they aren't helpful and if you put one you might as well be wasting your own time and if you have an idea for a story I'll hear it out but it will be no guarantee that I'll accept it.
Well happy birthday to you and I hope you enjoyed it, oh and about the cyber planet key that was left behind for Leobreaker to take since really why would Jack need such a thing, the bayformers for a story now that is heretic of an idea and all HERETICS SHALL BE PURGED! Lmao in all seriousness I could if I wanted to but it would be on what if's like what if Ironhide had survived maybe I dunno I would have to find something that I can write into a story, I'm still debating whether I should do two episodes in one chapter or just keep rolling with one episode at a time but for now it'll be one episode at a time, ShadowStriker has a place but not here but rather sometime in the future, Blitzwing is the same I'm possibly thinking of making a team the same would go for Nitro Zeus, Terrorcons will show up much later and when I say much later I mean at the end but the Rescue bots? I know nothing about them since I never watched the show and about Maccadam yeah I have a spot for him in mind.

The Heir Of Onyx Prime.
Inside the Autobot base and in the med-bay both Ratchet and Que are running test on Optimus to make sure that his systems are working in perfect order as Ratchet was getting Optimus to follow the light of a torch while Que was working over on the computer running a diagnostic test while behind Ratchet was Arcee and Bee who were waiting for Optimus.
"Your systems have fully recovered but I advise you to do not anything reckless." Ratchet said with a happy tone in his voice since his old friend and leader is back in working condition.
"Thanks to your medical expertise old friend." Optimus said but what he didn't realize was that it wasn't Ratchet who had saved his life.
"It was your scout that saved your life and this scientist who Jack had so thoughtfully brought along with him." Ratchet said turning towards the two with Que pushing his glasses a bit further back.
"No it wasn't just me, if it wasn't for Ebony showing and giving us that distraction we would've been caught red handed." Bee said waving both his servos.
"Lucky for us though that Megatron was still alive." Arcee said right as Moonracer and Chromia walked in.
"Did you just actually say that sis?" They both asked in shock.
"Yeah I did just say that even though I do wish he was dead." Arcee said going back to the Arcee they all know.
"What matters is that Optimus is on the mend." Que stated.
"While Megatron is-" But before Ratchet could finish.
"Is finished since Arcee had done her best to finish off Megatron." Bee interjected.
"Bee's right I did my best to finish Megatron's story." Arcee said while Bee had a small frame seizure that no one noticed as his optics got smaller and walked away." Just couldn't stick around long enough to see it to the end." Arcee finished with Bee walking out and down one of the hallways leaving the six Autobots there, looking down at his servos getting a feel for them like he was new to having them.
'It is only a matter of time before they notice that all is not right with you scout.' A voice said inside Bee's helm as this one belonged to Megatron himself as he had managed to escape his imprisonment inside his own mind and into Bee's during the cortical psychic patch link. 'I must reclaim my body which means... taking complete and utter control of yours!' Megatron stated inside Bee's helm as Bee could see his face in his mind.
Later on in the day Bee went about his day as per usual and the kids entering the base just like normal but what was weird is that Miko had decide that they should play a earth sports game called Basketball but in the way of Cybertron, so far she had only managed to get Chromia, Bee, Moonracer and Bulkhead to play since mister cyclops was busy doing whatever he does in his free time which was mainly studying and training, Que was busy learning the differences between his multiverse and this one by Ratchet, Optimus has some much needed work to catch up on and Jack? Well he was a no go since he was busy doing work with Cogman helping him and she was shocked that Jack has basically gotten himself a cybertronian butler and she wasn't the only one to be shocked by this as everyone else was shocked to see him as well.
'Now why does he have a minicon helping him what makes him so special that a minicon aids him in such trivial nonsense.' Megatron said as he watched what Bee saw but they quickly got back to the game with Bee already losing by one point.
"Come on best two out of three?" Bulk questioned before tossing the ball back to Bee and with that he took the opportunity to run towards Bulk and dodge his shot to take the ball from him, with that it was an opening which he took and a straight b'line for the hop with Raf cheering him on from the sidelines but as he drew closer to the hop he froze as his processor was suddenly assaulted with memories but they weren't his own as he saw Optimus Optimus getting punched by Megatron's own fist, the next memory that appeared was the space bridge exploding with the terrorcons reaching out to try and past through. "Bumblebee, quit hogging the ball." Bulkhead said at this both Jack and Cogman turned to look as Bee turned and threw the ball as hard as he could straight at Bulkhead who barely dodge it as it seemed to be aimed for his helm and luckily it had been caught by Crystal who had used a web to catch it and stop it from damaging anything.
"That's a foul!" Miko declared after blowing the whistle she has.
"Huh, dodge ball by the way of Cybertron." Jack joked from where he is with Cogman looking puzzled as did Crystal.
"Bee I think Bulk's helm isn't the hoop but rather that metal ring." Crystal pointed out with the hop hanging above a wall.
"I know... its just something strange happened." Bee said with Raf becoming worried.
"Bee are you alright?" Raf asked.
"Yeah I'm fine nothing to worry about really. Anyway best three outta five?" Bee questioned.
"Yeah three outta five." Raf said it seemed to Raf that it had eased his worries but Jack, no he was suspicious and he has good reason for it since Shockwave spoke to him about the cortical psychic patch and that it can act as a two way gate, Jack couldn't make any moves without arising suspicion and what better to find something out than having someone he trusts to watch Bee and stay out off sight from all prying eyes and what better being than Cogman, he may be a butler but he sure is resourceful that is for sure.
"Cogman." Jack said getting his attention.
"Yes m'lord?"
"I want you to watch Bee closely and make sure he doesn't do anything too 'strange' if you get my meaning." Jack ordered.
"Very well sir and I'm guessing it's going to be very stealthy and not getting spotted deal?" Cogman questioned.
"And don't report to anybody but me, I'm going to go have a word with Ratchet and Optimus." Jack said before turning off what looked to be a human sized data-pad and walking off with it but whatever he does is now going to be in his human form, he can't risk anything especially transforming into Ebony and taking such risks will be necessary. Some people might call this overreacting but to Jack this was not letting the enemy gain any leads or Intel on who he is or on the people he is connected with as he doesn't want his mother to be in harms way and suffer for the actions he has taken.
A few hours later.
Bee was walking down a hallway on his own since he really just wanted to think about things without getting disturbed he wasn't one for thinking but it does help, as he continued to walk in peace again his entire body seizes with Megatron appearing again.
'If I am to return to my body, I must first restore its functionality... but how did I escape annihilation?' Megatron questioned as he closed his optics? With that a memory had appeared with his body floating in the debris of the space bridge and a blue servo plunging straight into his spark-chamber where a crystal of dark energon was sticking out before the servo tore it out and had revealed the owner of the servo to be Dropkick and oh boy Megatron was shocked about this since he didn't expect this to happen since the only turncoat he had under his command was Starscream but that blasted Ebony black mech had terminated him too quickly since he could still... maybe find some more enjoyment from his failures but he also realized something. 'Of course! Dark energon it was still flowing through me during that time but... Dropkick... Shatter's partner in crime... I'll have to punish either both or just him.' Megatron said as his conscious went back to sleep so to say but he was still planning on what he will do when he returns.
On board the Nemesis.
Med-bay.
Dropkick was in the room that has Megatron on life support.
"Knock knock, anybody home?" He sarcastically asked as he was knocking on Megatron's helm. "No? Oh well." He said before walking away and turning towards the front of him. "And I have the only means that can bring your poor terrible state, making you arise of that slab of metal and walk again brand new... Lord Megatron." Dropkick said gloating and laughing a bit and gloated some more even going so far as juggling the piece of dark energon that he had plucked from Megatron's spark-chamber. "But it cannot restore your mind... I think a new leader should be chosen rather than have a decoration." Dropkick said holding the shard of Dark energon out in the open but what he didn't realize was that someone was listening to his gloating. "And with a plane so glorious and epic-"
"That even the might Lord Megatron could have conceived it?" Knockout asked as he was leaning against the opened door frame shocking Dropkick so much that nearly lost the shard of dark energon and quickly hid it behind his back.
"How much... did you hear... exactly?" Dropkick asked sill hiding the shard of dark energon.
"Hmm... just the right amount that the new leader would need a trust worthy second in command." Knockout said with a bow to Dropkick who was quite surprised by this act.
Back in Jasper.
Raf's house.
Raf was waiting in the usual spot where Bee would pick him and he looked both ways again before checking the time on his phone, he decided to see if Jack and Miko had seen Bee at all by calling them.
"Raf? Where are you School started a while ago?" He heard Jack asked.
"I'm still at home and Bumblebee never picked me up and his comm link isn't even on, any ideas on where he is?" Raf asked.
Autobot base.
Main hub.
Bee was walking around the main hub just doing nothing before he spotted one of Ratchets tools and his entire body seizes up again but this time he was moving and he wasn't the one doing. 'Yes go on scout.' Megatron said as he picked up the tool. 'Obey my will!" He demanded as suddenly Bee's servo crushed the tool.
"Bumblebee!" Ratchet called out waking him up from the trance like state and he turned around holding the piece of equipment still in his servo. "I NEEDED THAT!" Ratchet declared as out of all the bots so far he hadn't expected Bee to do such a thing.
"Needed what?" Bee asked before looking towards his servo to see what he had done.
"What has gotten into you?" Ratchet asked as he was going into his medic mode.
"I... don't know... but every time I seize up... it is always accompanied by Megatron's face... I don't know what happens during it... like suddenly a fog or mist appears blocking me from seeing what happens." Bee explained and Ratchet was getting a bit worried about this especially about one part.
"Your seeing Megatron's face?" Ratchet questioned and before Bee knew what was happening Ratchet had managed to get him in the med-bay and into the multipurpose tube that Ratchet uses for medical scans and such, with that he slowly fell into a sleep like state with his entire body going limp but thanks to the two clamps it held him up.
"Bumblebee is complaining about intermittent visions, waking nightmares if you will." Ratchet explained to Raf as Optimus stood behind him watching what was happening.
"But you said Bee was fine?" Raf questioned.
"Psychically yes."
"But Mentally, that is a different case." Que interjected as Ratchet had called for his help.
"With this induced forced power should help Bumblebee and ease his mind." Ratchet said right as the main console started to beep with an incoming call, so with Ratchet, Arcee and Optimus heading over to it Ratchet had answered the call and guess who it is? Yup the one and only Agent Fowler.
"Prime, you spot any Decepticons wearing hula skirts lately?" Fowler asked right as Roadbuster walked in.
"Hula skirts? You should try to see one in a kilt, now that is sight to behold." He said with his thick Scottish accent as he laughed his helm off while walking away.
"And who might that be?"
"That would be-" Prime was saying but Fowler has something else to say.
"You know what that doesn't matter right now, I was hopping you might have a lead on the cons that busted into the Kauai naval observatory, the looked like it was hit by an army of wrecking balls."
"Well sure as hell wasn't us Wreckers that's for sure since we know to not get involved with humans." Topspin commented as he walked by the group.
"Ignore them, anyway why would cons break into a observatory?" Arcee asked with Leadfoot walking past them carrying a bunch of boxes that has a bunch of wires in them.
"Have you heard of the Heuck Nigoghossian ring any bells?" Fowler asked as this time Topspin walked past them carrying some metal rods, Raf walked up a bit closer.
"The space telescope." Raf answered.
"Yes, well as of last night it's missing its primary lens." Fowler informed them with Roadbuster walking by and carrying what looked to be a wielding tool, what on Cybertron could they be making?
"Its difficult to guess Shatter's or Dropkicks intent without knowing where the lens has been taken." Optimus said informing Fowler but its good thing he is talking to Fowler but behind them Que was walking going to see what those three Wreckers are up to.
"Its a good thing then that the lens has a tracking device then." Fowler said and now behind them the three wreckers are back with Que chasing after them but for some reason Topspin was stuck to Roadbusters back so Leadfoot was trying to pull him away from Topspin and Que was doing the same but with Topspin and when they succeed at doing that the two got launched apart crashing into the walls.
"What on Cybertron are you four doing?!" Arcee demanded making the four run away and she was chasing after them leaving the others behind and allowing them to watch the display even Fowler was a bit shocked.
"Right... don't get her bad side." Fowler commented before showing the world map with the location of the lens appearing on it in the one place that three bots are quite familiar with.
"The arctic great, another chance to freeze our spark plugs off." Arcee stated after she threw the four bots she was chasing after into the med-bay for Ratchet to sort out while said bot was zooming in on the location of where the lens is, in doing so Bulkhead spotted the huge energon deposit.
"That is a class MB7, the biggest unminable energon deposit there." Bulk stated after whistling.
"It may be unminable until Dropkick and or Shatter melt their way down to it." Optimus said.
"With some extra help from the lens." Arcee said.
"Melting a glacier that big would cause major tsunamis along all the coastal cities." Fowler said making them all become aware of the situation and the danger it has on the human populace.
"Blast we could such a deposit as well to make sure our energon reserves could actually last us for years instead of weeks." Ratchet said but behind them the three Wreckers and scientist had gotten an idea.
"We could..." They all were saying their attention.
"Could what?" Optimus asked.
"With the order from the preda-boss or one of his queens we could actually make a device that would allow us to dig right on down there and mine the energon." Topspin said.
"You can actually make such a thing?" Ratchet asked.
"Who do you think your talking to?" Roadbuster said. "We built a slagging rocket ship that would launch us into space, building such a device is as easy as making a bomb." Roadbuster said with a grin.
"Figuratively speaking but we actually did build a rocket ship and maintained it, what he says is true though." Que said.
"So your saying even though you built a rocket ship and maintained it, you can also make a device that will allow us to get that energon deposit?" Arcee questioned.
"Ay lase, that be true but like Topspin said we need the order to do such a thing and it can only come from either you, your sisters, Crystal Widow and the Preda-boss himself." Roadbuster stated with a grin and his green and red visor glinting in the light, with that mostly all of them looked to Arcee who was contemplating on what she would do.
"Think of it this way, not only are you helping your friends but your also helping the Preda-boss himself since he too needs the energon even though he can store a huge amount inside him he needs it to actually use his weapons, his sword can only stay ignited by fire is because he uses the energon that stored inside it and he can freely controls the flow of it. So if you think about the fireballs he fires well its just a big ball of compressed energon that ignites at the bottom of his gullet before blasting out the same goes for his fire breath." Leadfoot explained since he was the weapons expert out of the three Wreckers he also had to know how his boss's weapons worked though Jack didn't tell him everything.
"No sweat lase, we're sure you can make the right decision." Roadbuster said as all four gave her the thumbs up making her even more worried.
"That's not helping!" She shouted.
"Arcee even though you are my second in command I was told by Ebony himself that they will follow my orders only to a certain extent so this decision falls upon and the others." Optimus said but Arcee wasn't sure on if she should do it or not since having that much energon would help them in the long run but at the same time she couldn't tell if Jack was testing her already to see if she could be dependable without his aid in making decisions, she may be a second in command but she hardly ever had to make call. "Being a leader is a hard thing but know this no matter what choice you think is the right one go with what your spark is telling you." Optimus said giving her a bit of encouragement but he had also giving her enough of a reason to make her decision.
"Very well... I believe I understand what Ebony is trying to do." Arcee spoke.
"That is?" Bulk asked.
"He is preparing me to make call's without his aid, to become dependable and lead when he isn't their. With that I command you four to make this device for future survival of our two races!" Arcee ordered and all four had gained huge grins and kneeled in front of her and said. "Your command is our will." Like that they set off getting back to making the device.
"So, did she make the call?" A voice asked through a comm link as it appeared to be Shockwave and what Jack assigned him he was able to handle it pretty well since it only required him to watch and listen and see if Arcee will make a call as a leader.
"Yes, she has and she went with the choice you would pick yourself." Shockwave said moving further down the hallway.
"When it comes down to it, it could've been the instincts of her own survival, her teams or the races... I guess I'll have to ask her that thank you Shockwave." Jack said.
"Its my pleasure to help you but may I ask have you thought over my request yet?" Shockwave asked since he has done some scouting and found something very interesting.
"You mean the exploration of a crashed ship?" Jack asked and went to thinking about. "Granted, take Leadfoot and Topspin with you and make sure you leave no room unexplored, whatever you find leave where it is unless it's a dangerous tool like something that might make us become immobile for example you take that with you." Jack ordered.
"Very well and what happens if the ship could be possibly split in two?" Shockwave questioned.
"I'll let you figure that one out, anyway I gotta get back to school I'll be arriving at base later." Jack stated before hanging up leaving Shockwave to his thoughts as he stepped further down the hallway.
'From what the Autobots database has on this ship the only thing I can found out is that it is known as the harbinger and is a Decepticon transport ship but with the right tools and strength I could in a manner make it become a ship worthy of flying once again but this will take time, delicate planning and the strength of a couple of driller beasts. I might be able to find some on Cybertron if they haven't died yet but that requires a space-bridge and yet the Autobots have a ground-bridge yet the Decepticons have access to many resources and that includes possibly a blueprint for a space-bridge or they could already have one already built hmm, I'll require assistance to find such thing but who? Maybe one from the inside like Shatter from what I was told she was very interested in Ebony and I've been told that one Decepticon had went solo for quite some time so maybe they can help by being a spy for a short time, they could also help by influencing Shatter into helping but the risk of them being spotted is high since there is Soundwave acting as the optics and audio receptors for the entire ship.' Shockwave thought as his singular optic kept focusing, unfocusing, shining and dimming as he mulled it over before finally coming to a conclusion.
At the high school Jack was thinking deeply since it was all he can do at as the Autobots are most likely on that mission by now, Shockwave was planning for his expedition mission, Cogman was still busy watching Bee and making sure he doesn't do anything that would harm the team or anything like that.
"Jack Darby!" Jack heard rising him from his thoughts.
"Yes ma'am?" Jack answered.
"Were you even paying attention?" the teacher asked as everyone was staring at him now.
"No ma'am I was too busy thinking, sorry for disrupting the lesson if I did." Jack apologized as the lesson carried on now but after that Jack had gained a sudden uneasy feeling that had made him shiver from head to toe. 'I think someone might be talking about me, I wonder who it can be?' Jack thought
At a river based cave Thunderblast was enjoying her moment resting in the water with one arm out of the water and other inside it, she was also making the water become hotter to the point of it being a spa for human but a Cybertronian version instead.
"Damn... why won't... you get out of my... processor!" Thunderblast screamed as her frame had a seizure for a moment before calming down. "Scrap I've never been this bothered as whatever I do your always in my processor just in the for front of it... hmm maybe I should bring you a gift for when I find you but... what exactly?" Thunderblast questioned out loud but she didn't expected a response.
"I have a few ideas." Turning around Thunderblast saw Airachnid who looked to be in the same situation as her, she could tell since Airachnid's optics seem to be unfocused yet focused.
"I also have some ideas for the both of you, if by the mech I think your talking about is the same one then he would be very pleased with your help." Another voice chimmed in and this time they both turned towards the entrance of the cave to find a menacing black armour even the chassis has something akin to a ribcage like armour but the singular optic surprised them the most.
"Shockwave..." They both said with anger.
"The one and only but not the one your thinking about." Shockwave said as he found the Decepticon who had "vanished" from the Decepticon ranks but instead of one he found two this could prove to be quite the advantage for him.
On board the Nemesis Shatter has been walking its hallways until she came across the med-bay and as she was walking past a loud thump had hit the door peaking her curiosity she opened it to find the Autobot medic Ratchet laying a few feet in front of her, the Autobot scout holding a shard of dark energon, a cortical psychic patch attached to him and the one of the Autobots "pet" human as well. 'I believe his name is Rafael.' She thought but while doing so she didn't realize that the scout had already plunge the shard of dark energon into Megatrons body, with that a dark purple light blinded them for a few seconds which was enough for Megatron to get up and off the slab of metal, Shatter was shocked to see him walking again.
"L-lord Megatron?!" Shatter spoke gaining his attention.
"Ah, Shatter get some Vehicon troopers here immediately to kill these Autobots, I have a certain traitor to 'speak' with." Megatron ordered as he walked out of the room.
"As you wish my liege, Soundwave I require some Vehicon troopers in the med-bay we have Autobot scum to terminate." Shatter commed but both the Autobot medic and scout are already on their pede and Shatter did wanted to get a message to the Ebony black mech who didn't terminate her but rather complimented her. "I want you to deliver a message for me." Shatter said surprising the three.
"And why should we do such a thing for the likes of you?" Ratchet questioned.
"Because I want to repay the mech who didn't terminate me but rather complimented me, look just do it and run alright." Shatter said handing Ratchet what looked to be a personal data-pad one that Cybertronians use to walk around with in public to send messages and the sort it was basically the same as what humans called a cellphone. "Now go! Before the Vehicons show up I'll pretend to try and stop you." Shatter said and the two ran while Bee carried Raf, with that Shatter exited the med-bay with her blaster out and was purposefully missing them as Vehicon troopers came behind her and started to fire on them when they got out of sight a Vehicon approached her.
"Should we chase after them?" It asked.
"No, we have pressing concerns in repairing the Nemesis for future missions." Shatter said with that the Vehicons left.
"Cogman." Jack called as he entered the base.
"Ah, m'lord as you had suspected Bee did do strange things and have relayed everything to both Optimus and Ratchet but alas Megatron is now back." Cogman informed with Jack getting a sour face.
"That is a problem for another time, I have other things to worry about Cogman and one of them is Bee." Jack said looking to said bot who was getting tested on by both Ratchet and Que.
"How are you feeling Bee?" Ratchet asked.
"I feel great." Bee said.
"Great for you and even better for all of us." Que said. "Roadbuster had already went ahead and deployed the machine to get that energon deposit and with the help from the lens it only made our progress to it even greater." Que stated which did bring some smiles to the group.
"Hmm that's odd." Arcee said now finally noticing something.
"What?" Her sister Chromia asked since she was the one who brought Jack to the base today.
"Where are the other Wreckers and Shockwave?" Arcee asked since the only Wreckers that are here are Bulkhead and Roadbuster yet he is in the arctic with Moonracer and Crystal.
"Yeah, after you gave them the task for making that machine they just seemed to have disappeared." Bulk said.
"That's because they are on a mission." Jack said gaining their attention.
"Mission? What mission?" Basically everyone inquired.
"Dunno." Jack stated confusing them. "Shockwave told me he found something and wanted to explore it and I gave him the go ahead and to take some back up with him." Jack explained to the best he could without giving away too many details and keeping a very tight lid on Shockwaves finding and future plans.
Sorry for this chapter being short but I feel the need to get the ball rolling if you know what I mean and what better way to that than let you in a few secrets and you can tell where Shockwave is going and doing but can any of you actually guess what his true objective is? Leave any guesses I look forward to see what you readers think and sorry for the poor ending. Farewell and let the music keep your body fresh.
