Chapter 12.
(Jack POV)
When I woke up, it was 8 in the morning and I got up and had a shower and got dressed, then went to head towards the Kitchen and get some Breakfast and then I headed into the garage where Arcee was still sleeping and went over to my computer.
"Jarvis, you up?" I said.
"Always, sir," JARVIS said.
"How the mark 6 core coming," I said.
"Almost finished with the test another 2 hours before we can test fly it, sir," JARVIS said.
"Can we start using the Energon Replicator yet?" I said.
"In another hour sir, Before we can start use of it," JARVIS said.
"Good. I want to open a new project file index Mark 7," I said.
Then Jarvis opened a new file with the template for the mark 6 Suit. I work on modifying it while Arcee was sleeping but I was making the most powerful one ever. This will be armed with secondary Energon weaponary. Replicator Rocket to replace all the rocket's when they have been fired. Repulsor weaponary increased to give a lot move powerful blast. A last cutting through any alloy increased so it runs on the Power core and Energon.
I was working on a couple other things for at least another 3 hours which it was 12pm. Arcee was still sleeping so I just let her sleep and had out of the garage and got myself some Lunch and headed back once I was finished.
Once I got into the garage again, Arcee was still asleep.
"Arcee, Wake up. It's noon," I said loudly.
"Okay, I'm up," Arcee said.
"You must of really needed it," I said.
"I did," Arcee said.
"When are you due back at base," I said.
"Not til 3," Arcee said.
"Sweet, Feel lik..." I said.
"Sir, I got Miss Potts on the line. She's asking for you," Jarvis said.
"Got ahead Jack, I still waking up," Arcee said still in her bike form.
"Put her up Jarvis," I said. Sitting down at the computer.
Then Pepper came up.
"Hey pepper what's up?" I said.
"I just got a call Seems Tony want to open the Stark Expo in 2 weeks. But they want you there to officially open it off," Pepper said.
"I though that got scrapped," I said.
"Guess not," Pepper said.
"Alright, I meet you at Dad place halfway through next week," I said.
"See you then, Jack," Pepper said.
"Bye Pepper," I said.
"Bye, Jack," Pepper said.
Then Pepper fell of the screen.
"Guess I'm coming with you again," Arcee said.
"Yeap," I said. "JARVIS, check the Mark 4 for me. I use it for the Expo,"
"Check is on the way sir," Jarvis said.
"I just have to make sure you stay safe during it," Arcee said.
"Yeap," I said.
"Well, what about the replicator," Arcee said.
"Jarvis," I said.
"It's ready sir, but I Recommend that Ratchet test the Energon once it has been replicated," Jarvis said.
"Then hit it up at the base. We get Ratchet to test it then," I said.
"Replicator activated, ETA to completion is 3 hours," Jarvis said.
I got up and went to grab my jacket then back into the garage and pick up my bag.
"Want to go for a drive Arcee," I said.
"Hop on then, let's go," Arcee said.
I headed over and got on her. Then Cee switched her engine on and I opened the garage door as Arcee got my helmet out of her sub-space Storage. Then I put it on and we drove out of the garage and Jarvis closed it before Transferring to base.
Once Arcee and I were outside of the city, Arcee hit the gas. Arcee took us the whole way around the city twice before she finally slowed down.
"I needed that," Arcee said.
"I could tell, Cee," I said.
"Want to head to base," Arcee said.
I checked my watch and it was 2.15. "Yeah, sure," I said.
Then Arcee started driving towards the base.

Once we were at the base, I only saw Ratchet and Optimus.
"Jack, you here early," Ratchet said.
"Yeah, Jarvis got the replicator working. Should be done in another 30 - 40 mins," I said.
"It has already started producing Energon?" Ratchet said.
"Yes, enough so you can test it," I said.
"Nice work, Jack," Optimus said.
"Thanks, Hopefully it works with Ratchet so it would stop problems of you guys not having enough Energon for a while," I said.
"If it passes," Ratchet said.
"Let's hope it does then," I said.
"Can Jarvis let me know when it is completed," Ratchet said.
"Of course, Sir," Jarvis said.

After another hour or 2 Raf, Bee, Miko and Bulk showed up but Bulk was sent on a mission for some reason.
While he was away Ratchet was informed about the Replicator being finished and left to grab what was replicated. Not before coming back and testing the Energon.
But wasn't last before Bulk had checked back in.
"Miko, Let Ratchet know I need a Ground Bridge," Bulk said.
We opened a bridge up and Bulk came through it and went over to Ratchet to get patched up as Jarvis sealed the bridge.
"Engaging the enemy on your own was foolish, Bulkhead," Optimus said.
"Breakdown jumped me," Bulkhead said. "I knew I could take him,"
"Stay still," Ratchet said.
"But we should see the other guy right, Bulk," Miko said.
"Speaking about that where was Breakdown when you woke up," I said.
"When I came to, Breakdown was just gone," Bulk said. "I remember hearing a copter,"
"Jarvis, Any aircraft in that area when Bulk was?" I said.
"No, sir, none which I had detected," Jarvis said.
"Mech," I said.
"It could of be Fowler," Bulk said.
"Not me. But i have an idea who," Fowler said.
"MECH," I said.
"Jack already got it," Fowler said. "Show me where it happened?"
"This is where we picked up Bulkhead," Ratchet said.
"The Kamchatka Peninsula in Eastern Russia," Fowler said. "It was abandon when it's volcano first erupted. Jack is correct. My intel reported MECH activity there earlier today,"
"MECH you mean those tech guys," Miko said.
"The very one who knows of our existence on your planet," Ratchet said.
I was thinking about Shield. They knew about them too.
"They must of tracked one of us there," Bulk said.
"But what would they want with Breakdown?" Miko said.
"What's it matter? They can have him," Arcee said.
Bee just beeped but I didn't have my earpiece on.
"Yeah, dragged off by humans, HA," Bulk said."Guess I softened him up for the, Huh?"
"Yeah, but why do they want him," I said. "Jarvis mark 5," Then moved over to the armour pad and let all of the Armour attached itself to me in the right place. "System are green sir," Jarvis said.
"Ratchet, Reactivate the previous Ground Bridge coordinates," Optimus said. "We will rescue Breakdown,"
"What?!" Ratchet said.
"Optimus, you can't be serious," Arcee said.
"Mech can melt him down for all I care," Bulk said. "Let the cons rescue their own,"
"It's unlikely that Megatron would bother with an errand of mercy," Optimus said.
"Okay, but this is Breakdown we're talking about," Arcee said.
"Sometimes we must rise above ourselves for the greater good," Optimus said.
Something about that almost made me pull my repulsor on him. Why?
"Oh, What's that supposed to mean?" Bulk said."Breakdown be all grateful go all soft and join the cause,"
"Optimus they the Enemy that wants to destroy everything that they can't control," I said.
"While it is unlikely that any Con will choose the path of good, even they possess the potential for change," Optimus said.
"I knew where this was headed," Bulk said.
"By Greater good, I meant Mankind. Mech presents a clear and present danger," Optimus said.
"Prime's right 2 ton," Fowler said.
"Mech is obsessed with obtaining ground breaking technology, Not doubt they want Cybertronian Biology," I said.
"Which means we cannot allow them that," Optimus said.
"Jack no way," Arcee said.
"No chance, I'm not letting you going to rescue a con which could turn against you as soon as you are out of there," I said.
"AUTOBOTS, roll out," Optimus said.
Then I use my thrusters to got over to Arcee as she switched to her bike form. Then we when though it.

Once we were through we started looking around for any clues.
When I found one, "Guys, Tire tracks going that way,"
"Forget the tracks, Jack, I'm picking up a faint Energon signal 3 clicks North-West," Ratchet said.
"Cortana, what's over there," I said.
"Sat showing a massive warehouse enough to hide an Operation and Breakdown," Cortana said.
"But we shouldn't be getting a reading unless," Arcee said.
"His Energon been Spilled," Ratchet said.
XXX
We saw fighting going on.
"Let's go," Optimus said.
I hit my thruster and punched through everything just to get there.
Once I got there, Mech was about to fire on Breakdown. I flew straight at the copter and hit the weapon with my repulsors destroying it. Then I saw Bulk and the copter going towards him. I fired flares at the copter window blinding them for a min then they pulled back.
"Bulk, you good?" I shouted. Hovering next to him.
"Your backup?" Breakdown said.
Then 5 cons showed up. 4 E-Cons and Scream.
"Shit," I said.
"Commander Starscream," Breakdown said.
"Consorting with the enemy, Breakdown," Scream said.
"Bulkhead, got me out of there," Breakdown said.
"Many Spark-felt thanks, Autobot, now destroy them," Scream said.
"Not in a million years, Asshole," I said.
Then Bulk knock Breakdown and Scream down.
"Hammer time," Bulk shouted as he threw Breakdown at the Cons.
"Come on," I shouted.
"I'll scraped all of you," Bulk said.
Then the rest of the time came in.
"Retreat!" Scream shouted and they took off and a bridge showed up and Break down run through it.
"Jack, you good," Arcee said.
"Just fine, Let's hit home," I said. "Jarvis, bridge us home,"
"On way, Sir," Jarvis said.
Then we headed back through the bridge and head back to base. Then took the armour off.
Then Arcee and I headed home. Which I got showered and headed for bed. Not before Jarvis said the that Mark 6 are ready for a test flight.
That's all for this chapter.
Love Y'all
Stay Tuned.
PEACE!
