Chapter 2.
Masters and Students
(Jack POV)
I woke up the next day and saw it was 6 AM, Which means Mum was already left for work. So I went and got showered and Changed before heading to the Garage, Where Arcee spends the night.
When we got back that night from blowing up the space bridge I filled Jarvis in with Arcee's help which we was allowed to do by Optimus. Optimus Agreed to it, Once he knew about Jarvis being My AI. And Jarvis would kept it to himself, And away from my Mum. Who I didn't want anything to do with this. Mum had enough to worry about with Hunters Showing up. and The fact of my Werewolf side, But I still didn't know whether to tell Arcee about it or not.
When I got in I saw Arcee, in her Vehicle mode. Before I headed over to where my computers was.
"Jarvis, you up?" I said.
"For you, Sir, Always," Jarvis said.
"Jack," Arcee said.
"Hey, Arcee," I said.
"Morning, Arcee," Jarvis said.
"Hi, Jarvis," Arcee said before in her vehicle mode came up near me before she transformed back to her bipedal form crouching next to me.
"Jarvis, Hows the Repairs for the Mark 3?" I said.
"Already fixed, sir," Jarvis said.
"Nice, Buddy," I said.
"Sir, There is something on the news," Jarvis said.
"Put it up," Arcee said.
Then the TV just about the Computer came on and When it did. I saw it was the same terrorist group that was the ones who got my Dad killed.
The News said that they had some new weapons, and an image was put up on the screen.
"WHAT THE FUCK! Jarvis are those Dad's Jericho missiles," I said.
"Yes, Sir, They are," Jarvis said.
"Jack," Arcee said.
"Those are the same group that Kidnapped my dad, Now using his own god damn weapons, No not happening," I said.
"Jack, Calm down," Arcee said.
"Jarvis, Where is that?" I said.
"Gulmira, Afghanistan, Sir," Jarvis said.
"Mark 3 right now," I said.
Before heading over and Letting all the pieces of armour get put on by the robotics arms which carried the suit.
"Jack," Arcee said.
"Be back before you know it, Jarvis everything we got to Thrusters to get there," I said.
"Done, Sir," Jarvis said.
Before Arcee could say anything, I flew out the roof and headed there at full power which made me go Supersonic.
I was so enjoying it. Then we showed up where the first batch of Dad's weapons was and I landed when I saw this guy with one of my Dad assault rifles at me shooting me before I punch that one turn and shot my repulsor at one to another then use both at the one next to my Dad Jericho and turn to hit the others which turned out to be use human shields. I turned off my repulsors and targeted with my darts which was to fast and hit every one on them down. The I saw a Signal like so one was trying to call someone and I went over to the Wall and punched it before grabbing the guy and pull them out in front of the Crowd which that guy tried to hurt.
"He's all yours," I said before Shooting off to the sky and only to get so far before getting hit and fell to Earth. Once I got up I saw it was a tank which shot me and shot again but missed me and I use my Mini Missile on it and walked away then the Tank blew up. Then when I reached the last Weapons they was just Terrorists and I use my thruster to get in the air then Shot at the Jericho missile, Blowing them out then headed back home.
"Jarvis I can use a bridge," I said.
"Right in front of you sir, It will take you straight here," Jarvis said.
"Thanks, Jarvis," I said.
Then a Green light appeared which was the Ground bridge in front on me and I wet though.
Once on the other side I push my thrusters full power to slow me down and land no problem next to the Armour Pad, Which I used and Let Jarvis take it off.
"Jack, What did you do?" Arcee said.
"Take care of it," I said.
"You killed them," Arcee said.
"It was either that, or they would continue hurting people, I'm sorry if that goes against what Optimus has always said, But." I said.
"They got your Dad killed and you don't want anyone else getting killed who was like your dad," Arcee said.
"Yeah," I said. "They took everything what I could of had with my Dad, They cost me that,"
"They Cost your mom him too," Arcee said.
"Yeah, I can't let that go, Hopefully now what is left of them the Army can get them," I said as the last came off.
"Jack," Arcee said.
"Yeah," I said.
"Get ready for school, I wouldn't tell anyone," Arcee said.
"Thanks, Arcee," I said before heading for my room grabbing my things for School the back to the Garage where Arcee was in her Vehicle mode waiting for me to get on.
"I just need to get somethings after school before going to base," I said.
"It's fine, Jarvis can send the other things we can't take to the base," Arcee said.
"Okay," I said as Arcee pulled up at the School.
"See you after School, Jack," Arcee said.
"See ya, Arcee," I said when I made sure no one was looking.
Then I headed into School.

After we finished school, I had this Science project to finish which I got Arcee to help me with since I was going for building a Motorbike. Miko and Raf was already with Bulk and Bee. Then I saw Arcee and went to get on.
"Ready," Arcee said.
"Yeah, Let's go grab the stuff, Then head to base," I said.
"You want to have a drive," Arcee said.
"Yeah," I said.
"Same here, Been there all day, Optimus hasn't called us in for anything," Arcee said.
"Wait, No Con, activity," I said. As Arcee took of towards my place.
"That and no sign of any Energon, Yet," Arcee said.
"No Cons, I can deal with, Energon, would be happy having that. Wait, You got any in the form you guys find it in?" I said.
"Yeah, couple still in Crystal form, Why?" Arcee said.
As we were on the way to the garage.
"Maybe Jarvis, Could find a way to make it, But it could take time," I said.
"What would you need?" Arcee said.
"A whole crystal of it, to be safe," I said.
"We got you room setup, so we could put some there to work on," Arcee said.
"Nice, Jarvis can run scans on it see what it's made of, then we will find out if we can replicate Energon or not," I said.
Then Arcee Pulled up onto the Garage. As I got off her, She transformed.
"Would be good if it worked, But Ratchet would want to do test to make sure it's safe for us," Arcee said as I grabbed all the Tools, Since Jarvis had sent everything else to the base.
"Don't blame him, Even everything he tries to say about our technology, Even for this time," I said.
"But," Arcee said.
"My Tech, is the best in the business," I said.
"Sir, A Colonel, James Rhodes is calling," Jarvis said.
"Arcee," I said.
"On it," Arcee said before transformed back into her vehicle form.
I went and sat on the chair where my Computers were.
"Jarvis, Nothing about them," I said.
"Understood, Sir," Jarvis said.
"Open it," I said.
Jarvis, opened the Call.
"Rhodey, Been some time," I said.
"I know, Jack," Rhodey said.
"What is it?" I said.
"Nothing, Just the 10 rings got attacked today, main target looks to be your dad's Jericho missiles," Rhodey said.
"How did they get them," I said.
"No idea, I got a team working on finding out who has been supplying them with Stark Weapons, Let you know what we find out," Rhodey said.
"Thanks, Rhodey," I said.
"What's things been like there," Rhodey said.
"Boring as ever, Been working on somethings, Maybe some time you could swing by and I show you," I said.
"Some day, Jack," Rhodey said. "Hows your Mum?"
"Working as always, Never changes," I said.
Rhodey laughed at it for a sec. "Only you, Jack, Gotta go, Call you when I got something," Rhodey said.
"Thanks, Rhodey, Be Safe," I said.
"You too, Jack," Rhodey said then went off the screen.
"He is gone, Sir," Jarvis said.
"Thanks, Jarvis, See you at the base," I said before grabbing the rest of them and got back on Arcee. "Ready,"
"Yes, Hang on," Arcee said as Jarvis had opened the garage door and we headed out. Just after Jarvis closed up to Garage. Arcee hit it full throttle once we cleared the Town heading straight for the base.

While me and Arcee was working on the Bike, There was a bang from Raf's Direction, Of Course his project was a damn volcano. Which did that.
Then Ratchet and Optimus came over to Check it out.
"What... In the All spark is going on here?" Ratchet said.
"Our projects are due tomorrow," I said.
"Maybe it needs one of these doohickeys," Arcee said.
"You're a motorcycle, Arcee, Shouldn't you know how to build a motorcycle engine?" I said.
"You're a human, Jack, Can you build me a small intestine?" Arcee said.
"Ouch, Nice one," I said.
"Well, you can't work on these projects in here, you're making a mess," Ratchet said.
"But the science fair's a big part of our grade," Raf said.
"Yeah, If Bulkhead doesn't help me finish this model of our solar system," Miko said.
"Oh? And what does Bulkhead know of your solar system, or Bumblebee of your volcanos, or" Ratchet said.
"Arcee of our Motorcycle," I said.
"Precisely! We're not earthlings and they're not scientists," Ratchet said.
"But the Autobots are their guardians, Ratchet, would it hurt to learn more of Earth, By helping our young friends with their schoolwork," Optimus said.
"Well, Maybe our young friends should try learn more of Cybertron," Ratchet said.
"Good thing is, I have," I said.
"What do you mean?" Ratchet said.
"When we were on the Con ship, Jarvis here managed to get their whole database, But the only thing we couldn't get use their cloaking or shield Frequencies," I said.
"Meaning we have every Energon mine They have been too," Optimus said.
"Yes, Jarvis, Has been working around the clock decoding the Information," I said.
"How did you get into their systems, their are really advanced," Ratchet said.
"With this," I said holding up a device.
"What is that" Ratchet said.
"An interface, Jarvis can get into any system," I said.
"Your AI managed to hack and download all the data, how did we know it can't be traced back," Ratchet said.
"These are completely untraceable, Not even Earth's Military has them," I said.
"How did you get it on board and in their system," Ratchet said.
"It must of dropped out of my pocket and landing on the Ship hull and managed to interface with every system to Download Data, But Once we got back here, It died, I'm guessing the Cons, May have stepped on it," I said.
"Where is the Database now?" Optimus said.
"Jarvis, Bring up the Database from the Decepticon Warship," I said.
"It's on the screen now sir," Jarvis said.
"How can your AI access the base," Ratchet said.
"There's an interface in here to with the computers, Jarvis can easily get from my home to the base, He been here since I got back the next morning with the Mark 2. So when I came back Jarvis had the Mark 3 already setup and transferred here, and the Platform where my suit came up it was old tech that Stark industries had in the base at the time. Jarvis managed to bring it back online so It can be used for the Suit," I said.
"Jack, What your saying is that Jarvis, will be able to access the Groundbridge when no one is on or in the base," Optimus said.
"Bingo," I said.
"Can Jarvis, help with the Earth tech here too, Since it is really old and keeps glitching," Ratchet said.
"Jarvis, Can you update the systems here with the same updates from my place," I said.
"It has began, Sir, But it would take some time to complete," Jarvis said.
"Nice," I said.
"Jack, Arcee has told me about what you been thinking of, Do you think Jarvis can do it," Optimus said.
"Maybe, True Ratchet well have to test it to be sure it is safe" I said.
"I have already placed some of it in you Room here at Base," Optimus said.
"Thanks, Optimus," I said.
Optimus Nodded before heading off somewhere.
"Jarvis, Can you also start the scans also," I said.
"Scans on the way, ETA 5 hours," Jarvis said.
"Thanks, buddy." I said.
Then Me, Raf and Miko was working on our projects again.

Then when me and Arcee was close to finishing the bike, The Computers, Started beeping.
"Exposed Energon and it's on the Move," Ratchet said,
"And Since we ain't moving it guess who must be," Bulk said.
"Decepticons," Arcee said.
"Without Megatron?" Miko said.
"Maybe, Jarvis, Reroute a Satellite we have in orbit and transfer all data here, Place it also on my private Server," I said.
"It is done, Sir," Jarvis said.
"Jack, What are you doing?" Optimus said.
"Getting us a orbit Image, Then Maybe we can see who it is and how many there are," I said.
"Nice work jack, to answer Miko's question, unfortunately Megatron's legacy will live on as others rise to take his place, Autobots you have projects to complete, Ratchet I may require aid," Optimus said.
"Science fair is a big part of their grade, Perhaps I'm better suited to remain behind and advise," Ratchet said.
"Very Well," Optimus said. "BumbleBee, Let us see about this Energon in transit,"
"I can keep an eye on you from my laptop while I'm working, Just in case you 2 need a bridge," I said.
"Thank you, Jack," Optimus said.
Then Ratchet opened a ground bridge to the location. Then Optimus and Bee went through.
"Jarvis, Be ready to open a bridge when they need it," I said.
"You got a bad feeling, Jack," Arcee said.
"Yeah, Plus better be safe than sorry," I said.
"Jack, Maybe right," Ratchet said.
"Thanks Ratchet," I said.
Then Me and Arcee went back to where the bike us and I took my Laptop I had Jarvis Keep a live image on where the Energon signal came from and was ready in case Optimus and Bee needed a bridge back fast.
XXX
"Ratchet it's a bike, Jarvis, is even there, working on it with us," I said.
"Just watch the Master work," Ratchet said.
"Control Freak," Miko said.
"Sir, I picking up a transmission," Jarvis said.
"From Who?" I said.
"Agent Fowler sir, Reports of strange transmission of unknown technology origin," Jarvis said.
"Optimus wouldn't do that," Ratchet said.
"Then It must be Cons up to something," I said.
"They may need backup," Arcee said.
"There's only one way to find out, Jarvis, Mark 3," I said heading for the platform as the boots came up and I stepped into them, Then the covers for my lower part of my body was placed on. Then was hands and the upper part can after I placed my hands into the hands which then was covered with the components then the armour. Then the chest piece which had the Arc Reactor was placed in front the the Cover to protect the Arc reactor was placed. Then the Helmet sides came and placed. Not long after that happened the Helmet snapped into place.
"Jack, You not serious," Miko said.
"I am. No following me," I said.
"Jarvis, Do a check on Control surfaces then open the Bridge near the transmission Coords," I said.
"As you wish, Sir," Jarvis said.
Then all the pieces came and and started moving as it was part of the Control Check for anything which can happen. As did all the Weapon ports was check also.
"Check Complete, You are go to go, Sir" Jarvis said.
"Thanks, Jarvis, Open the bridge," I said as I use my thrusters to get down there as the Ground Bridge Activated.
Then I went through the Bridge and Then the Bridge shut down before Miko could follow.
"Jarvis, Where is that signal?" I said.
"Not far, Sir, Coords on screen now," Jarvis said.
"Thanks, Buddy," I said before I fired up my Thrusters and headed towards.
"Sir, I see Prime and BumbleBee are in trouble, An F-22 is headed for them," Jarvis said.
"It's a Con, Weapons," I said.
"Ready and waiting, sir," Jarvis said.
Then I changed course to head towards Them and at the Con.
It was about to Fire Missiles at Optimus and Bee, When I came and Hit it with my Repulsors, "Like that Con," I said.
"Jack, is that you?" Fowler said.
"The one and the only," I said.
"Pull back," Fowler said.
"Your F-22 is no match for this guy, Jarvis, where is the Con," I said.
"Headed for us, Sir," Jarvis said.
"Everything to Thrusters now," I said.
"I just did," Jarvis said.
"Optimus, I got that Con on my tail, Send Jarvis Coords and I swing by for you to hit him," I said.
"I copy, Jack, But be Careful, This Con is called Skyquake, One of Megatron, Elite warriors," Optimus said.
"Got it, No playing with him," I said.
Then I see the Con F-22 Coming at me and I use every move I got to shake him and Then Alarm went off.
"Sir, We have Heat Seekers on us," Jarvis said.
"Jack you need to get out of there," Optimus said.
"I can't, There's Heat seekers on me, If I go for a bridge I will take them back to the base, Jarvis, Find me a Dead-end," I said.
"Already on that, Sir," Jarvis said.
"Jack, This is Fowler, There is a dead end below my location, use that," Fowler said.
"Copy Fowler, Jarvis," I said.
"I have the Coords, Sir, Placing them on the screen now," Jarvis said.
"Let's go," I said as the Coords popped up and I head straight for them, As I was about to hit the wall, I slowed down to let them catch up.
"Jack, They are getting close," Fowler said.
"That's the point if I go up now they still be on me," I said.
"Jack, Be safe," Optimus said.
"Thanks, Optimus," I said.
"Sir, There almost about to hit," Jarvis said.
"Got it," I said before speeding up and going straight up at all the Heats seekers hit the Dead end Cliff.
"I'm clear," I said.
"Nice, flying, kid," Fowler said.
"Thanks, Optimus, Where's Skyquake?" I said.
"Unknown at this time, Jack, But I will suggest you head back to Base," Optimus said.
"I'm not leaving you 2 to face him alone," I said.
"Kid, Prime is right, Get out of here," Fowler said.
"I already said, I am not leaving them behind," I said.
"Kid, Jack, Be careful, even in whatever that is?" Fowler said.
"Thanks, Not a word to any one about this, Got it," I said.
"Got it," Fowler said.
"Jack, Skyquake was just on us, BumbleBee got split, He need help," Optimus said.
"Copy, I headed there now," I said. Changing course towards Bee.
"Jack, Fowler, BumbleBee is on Skyquake, Need Assistance," Optimus said.
"On it, Fowler when I get him close hit him with everything you got, I head for BumbleBee," I said.
"Sound plan, Jack," Fowler said.
"Bee, I'm coming in hot behind you," I said.
"Any time, Fella, Ground coming fast," Fowler said.
"Sir, Agent Fowler can Catch BumbleBee as we use the Missile on Skyquake," Jarvis said.
"Fowler," I said.
"I copy that, Jack, Got for it," Fowler said.
Then BumbleBee Jumps and Lands on on Fowler's F-22.
"I got BumbleBee, Take him out," Fowler said.
"With pleasure," I said. "Jarvis, Lock on,"
"Lock on Confirmed," Jarvis said.
Then I fire the Missile at Skyquake before getting level with Fowler and Bee.
Then Bee Jumped off and went to the cliff and I came next to him.
"Bee, You okay," I said.
Bee Beeped.
"Jarvis," I said.
"BumbleBee says he is fine sir," Jarvis said.
"Optimus, It's Jack, I'm with Bee, Skyquake is down," I said.
"Understood," Optimus said. "I have just arrived,"
"Me and Bee on the way down," I said.
"Had Skyquake chosen to stray from his masters path, We might not be burying him today," Optimus said.
"Optimus, You may be a Prime, But it doesn't mean you can save everyone," I said.
"I know, Jack, It just... " Optimus said.
"Doesn't make it easy," I said.
"Agreed, Jack, You risk your life for us today, Why?" Optimus said.
"We're a team now, Optimus, I don't leave any of this team behind," I said.
"That may be Jack, But Thank you," Optimus said.
"Always," I said. "Jarvis, Open a bridge back to Base,"
"Opening it is 5 seconds sir," Jarvis said.
"Thanks, Buddy," I said.
"Let's get back to base," Optimus said.
"No argument here," I said.
Then the ground bridge opened and we headed through and I went straight for the platform and let Jarvis remove the armour.
XXX
We just came back from the science fair. and it was mad Ratchet thought we should of got the best grades. But last time I let him mess around with my gear.
Then Ratchet walked away, as Bee Beeping something.
"Indeed BumbleBee, Our human Friends would have been wise to stray from Ratchet Path," Optimus said.
"No argument here," I said.
"You were lucky today, Jack, But it was a bit silly of you going up against someone like Skyquake," Optimus said.
"True, But it wouldn't stop me from Defending Earth from the Cons Ever, Speaking of which Jarvis, Hows the Mark 4 Specs coming," I said.
"Great so far, Sir," Jarvis said.
"Thanks buddy, Best for you to head back to the Garage, Pal," I said.
"Agreed, Sir," Jarvis said.
"And best to get you home, Jack," Arcee said.
"Right behind you," I said as Arcee Transformed back to her Vehicle mode and I got on before Arcee left taking me back home.
Once we got back and into the Garage.
"Jack, You sure you are okay after today?" Arcee said.
"I'm fine, Arcee," I said "Just Glad Optimus and Bee are okay,"
"Me as well, But next time, Be careful," Arcee said.
"Always do," I said. "I'm beat Arcee, Night,"
"Night, Jack," Arcee said before I lefted the Garage and Grabbed my Dinner and Showered and Headed for Bed. To know I need to get the Mark 4 Finished hopefully before the next time going out.
That's all for this chapter Guys.
More to follow.
Stay Tuned and Safe.
Catch you guys next time. Love y'all.
PEACE!
