Chapter 13.
Crisscross.
(Jack POV)
It was completely peaceful at the base. Like no Con activity what so ever. Ratchet got back to me about the Energon he tested. He said that it was completely fine and safe for them to use but the Replicator couldn't make more that 10 crates of it per Month. So it's more like 10 days with the Replicator making Energon and the rest running Diagnostics and repair it. Which sat fine with everyone.
The new Palladium core worked perfected with a modded core. Now it was connected to the Mark 6 and Cortana was uploaded into it with a complete link back to Base and Home but most her chip which I would have on me. So I left Jarvis and Cortana to run tests on the Mark 6 and Arcee and I got on and headed home where once in the Garage and off Arcee to Checking my Mark 7 plan file.
Lucky Arcee was in her Vehicle form, Since the door opened and Mum came in.
"What the Hell were you?" Mum said.
"I was Driving," I said.
"And you couldn't text," Mum said.
"Yeah, then I'm in a accident ," I said.
"Right, sorry," Mum said.
"It's fine," I said.
"But I didn't want to hurt again, we got lucky last time," Mum said.
"Yeah, Fucking hunters," I said.
"I didn't want to see you that close to dying again. Just lucky Uncle Stiles and Derek were there. You better call from now on," Mum said.
"Alright, Night," I said.
"Night, Since it's the weekend you can walk for a bit," Mum said then heading out the door and closing it tight.
"Really, Great looks like your stuck here for the week end Arcee," I said.
"Yeap, not happening. Can't leave the team," Arcee said.
"There can handle with out you for 2 days," I said.
"Nope. But I got a question," Arcee said.
"What," I said.
"What did she mean that you nearly died," Arcee said.
"Because the bullet that hit me was full of something called Wolfsbane. Which would normally if it reached my heart kill me. But my Uncle Derek was there with the cure for it and stopped it from spreading," I said. "Look I'm fine,"
"Great, But I'm not staying here while she is out. Plus I could always ground bridge back before she gets back," Arcee said.
"Fine, you better. Or we are going to have to tell her about you and the team," I said.
"Fine," Arcee said.
Then I went back to work on the Mark 7.
After the next 30 mins, I switched off and headed into the house and Showered getting into my PJ's and pulled my Laptop up and saw a file waiting to be opened.
When I opened it. My Granddad face when I was just born came on.
"Jack,
If you are watching this then the Video I made with your Dad's help and what ever is going on has to be bad if this is playing.
No doubt that you need some more help which I can give you.
No doubt your Mum has told about Beacon Hills. When there was attacks and this group of people. The Power Rangers protected the city.
Well. I guess it is time.
I was one of them who protected Beacon Hills against those attacks.
It was Me, Lydia, Stiles, Derek and Malia.
Of Course the whole pack knew about this, But you and your cousins.
I was Red. Stiles was Blue. Lydia was Yellow. Derek was Black and Malia was White.
The best thing about being the Red Ranger is you get to chose the next Red Ranger to Take over.
I chosen you to be the next Red Ranger. You will be the one choosing the next team.
Jarvis will pass you the Dino Gem. Let it in. It will do the rest. Jarvis also has the other Gems.
Jarvis, your Father and I have been working around the clock rebuilding the Zords.
Use it to help you in what ever you need to help Protect.
To Activate just say "Dino Thunder, Power Up," Then you will Morph.
As a friend, once told me.
May the power protect you.
Love you, Jack,"
Then the video ended.
I was too tired to go back to the garage so I decided to get some sleep and get it in the Morning.
XXX
Next Morning. Once I woke up. Had a shower and went and grabbed something to eat, seeing that Mum had already left.
Then when I went into the Garage, Arcee was gone must of been called in.
"Jarvis give me the Dino Gem," I said.
"Yes. sir," Jarvis said. As a drawer next to the computer desk came up with a bracelet with a Red Gem in the center.
I picked up. Then put it on my left wrist then a felt something hit me filling me with Energy.
"Congratulates Sir, The Dino Gem has bonded with you," Jarvis said.
I need to practise with this so I found an area where I could train and Got Jarvis to ground bridge me there.
Once in the forest. I found a perfect spot and set up for target practise, Room to train with the sword and Weapons.
Once everything was setup.
I raised my wrist to my chest and it changed into a Red and gold device. The morpher.
I pushed the jaw part together. "Dino Thunder, Power up," I said before hitting the red button then there was so much energy and next thing I knew I was looking out of a helmet. "Wow. This is sweet," I said the saw the blaster in my holster and took it out and aimed at the Targets I setup and took the shot.
XXX
After I couple hours training I power down and Ground bridge back to my Garage where I found my phone just starting to Ring.
"Jarvis, Get Arcee back here, Tell her Mum is on her way home," I said.
"Aye sir," Jarvis said.
"Yeah mum," I said answering it.
"I just left work feel like take out," Mum said.
"Yeah, just get me anything, gotta go bye," I said hanging up.
After 5 mins. Still No Arcee. Then a bridge open up and Arcee came through in her Vehicle mode and Then the bridge closed.
Then I turned to see Mum there.
"What was that?" Mum said.
Shit see saw that.
"What?" I said.
"That green thing and then your Bike coming out of it without anyone on it," Mum said.
"Arcee, Come on," I said but she just stayed there. "Arcee, Some on see already seen you,"
"Fine," Arcee said.
"Who said that?" Mum said.
"That would be me," Arcee said before changing out of her Vehicle form.
"Wow," Mum said backing up.
"Really Mum after everything You get spooked by her," I said.
"She really should be more spooked by Cons," Arcee said.
"What," Mum said.
We told Mum everything since the start of meeting them all the way till she found out. Which took 2 hours. Mum even took it well, Not while she also heard about that Arcee knows about me being a werewolf.
XXX
The next morning after Mum finally understood everything. Even knowing that Arcee was always going to be here and was going to be away while I was working on something.
So once I woke up. I headed for a shower and got dressed and put the Dino Gem Bracelet back on. Then headed to get something to eat and headed to the garage where I saw Arcee still there.
"Hey though you would be at the base by now," I said.
"Nope on yet at least," Arcee said.
"Did you let the team know that Mum knew," I said.
"Yeah, Optimus was glad to hear that she understood why we all kept it from her," Arcee said.
"Good to know," I said headed over to my computer to check on the Mark 6. Which was ready to be deployed. Mark 7 plans was working progress.
It was going to have the best upgraded weapons. Replicated Rocket launchers. Which was able to be replaced. Upgraded beam weaponary which I had on the Mark 6 but these ones work like my Repulsors. I also managed to used the Energon, which I can use for my repulsors, but also upgraded so that my Repulsors if need to modify themselves into Blasters to fire Energon bolts. 4 extra thrusters on the back. 4 extra thrusters, 2 on each boots on the back. Then saved the plans which was when I grabbed my bike and was headed out.
"Where you going," Arcee said.
"There this Lake I go to, Just going to head there for a bit, See you later," I said.
"Why not take me," Arcee said.
"One it's not far. 2 you maybe be called and I gotta walk back. So why not me just take the bike then I see you later," I said.
"Alright, be careful," Arcee said.
"Plan on it," I said.
I got onto my bike and opened the garage door once Arcee was back in her bike form.
"See you partner," Arcee said.
"See you later," I said.
Then I headed out and closed the garage door and went off to the same spot as yesterday to train again.
XXX
Once I got there I set up everything again too go again.
I ready the Morph again. "Dino Thunder, Power Up," I said then hit the red button. Then Morphed again.
I pulled out my Blaster and shot the bottles till they were all shattered. Then I pulled out the sword and got it to it full power and and fired so sort of energy orb and it destroyed the whole set of Bottles I setup for that.
I worked on those for at least another hour. Then Powered down.
Then headed towards the shop and grab a few things, Pepsi, Crisps. Then I headed to the Lake I told Arcee about and must of spend 2 hours laying there just looking at the sky, the lake.
Then headed back towards the house but I took my time to get back.
XXX
When I got back to the house, It was night-time and Mum's car wasn't there. So I opened the door to the garage to find Arcee there.
"Arcee, Is Mum home yet, I don't see her car," I said.
"Don't know. I just bridged back," Arcee said.
"Jarvis, Call Mum," I said.
"Calling now sir," Jarvis said.
"Oh, There's a package for you," Arcee said.
"What I didn't order anything," I said.
"Sir, Your Mother isn't answering her Mobile," Jarvis said.
"Trace it," I said.
"Jack, Bit extreme," Arcee said.
"Something is wrong," I said. I can feel it," As I opened the package and a phone came out then activated.
"Hello, Jack," Silas voice came over. and Arcee closed the door and changed.
"Silas, Where is she?" I said. "Mech know why I live,"
"We know things about your family. That you don't know, Like do you know where your mother is," Silas said.
"Where is she you son of a bitch," I said.
"There are GPS Coords in this Communicator. Follow them and Come alone. Only you and Arcee. If those others show up she's died," Silas said then it cut off.
"Ratchet," Arcee said." Ahh!"
"Arcee," I said.
"Something is blocking all coms to base," Arcee said.
"Doesn't matter, When I see him he is Dead," I said. "Jarvis, get me a sat Image now,"
"On the way sir," Jarvis said. "Got it,"
Then Put it on.
"A Were-house," I said. "Jarvis once we are gone Get Fowler and the Team there but wait for my signal. They know when they see it,"
"Aye, Sir," Jarvis said.
"Let's go," I said.
Arcee changed back and I got on and headed on.
"Jarvis Prepare Mark 6," I said. "Sent it once the signal is out,"
"Aye Sir," Jarvis said.
Then Arcee and I went and I took the Communicator with me.
"Jack, what are you doing," Arcee said.
"Simple This thing has a some scrambler jamming any other frequency out. But the range of this thing will be small. Meaning, Jarvis can contact the team," I said.
"So we just gotta wait till then," Arcee said.
"Yes, and as far as am say. Mech can die," I said. "No one, Not even Cons, or Mech is going to Fucked it my family,"
Not too much longer we reached the were-house.
Then Pulled up.
"MUM!" I shouted.
Then I heard something.
"Looking for June? She's hanging around here somewhere," Airachnid said.
"Airachnid," Arcee said then Airachnid shot Arcee with the webbing.
"Cee," I said. "What the Fuck is she doing here,"
Then they just stunned Arcee.
"Arcee," I said.
"You and I are going to have a private session later," Airachnid said.
"Keep Dreaming Con," I said.
"Gentlemen," Silas said.
Then 2 guys taken both my phone and the Communicator away.
Airachnid then said something about tearing my family apart.
"Try it Con. And you will be nothing but scrap metal when I'm done with you," I said.
"Well, you got a chance to save her if you get to her before 12, she safe, If not, well you can guess," Airachnid said.
XXX
After 5 mins, searching found Airachnid then pointed to where I saw her.
"MOM!" I shouted.
Running towards her.
"Cortana, you hear me," I said.
"Yes," Cortana said. "Mark 6 is ready to go,"
"Be right, have Fowler ready too," I said.
"MOM! Wake up," I shouted.
"JACK!" Mom shouted.
"Time up. Now," Airachnid said firing webbing at me but I get out off the way.
Then I pulled out my watch repulsor and shot her.
Then Airachnid started heading for Mum.
"MUM!" I shouted.
"JACK!" Mom shouted back.
Then Next thing I know I saw Arcee coming at hit her.
"Jack, Get her out," Arcee said.
I managed to pulled the thing back up with mum in it and got my repulsor and started cutting it. Just when I got her free.
"Jack," Mum said hugging me.
"Go, Cortana get her out of here," I said.
"What no, I'm not leaving you," Mum said as Cortana came in the Mark 6 and brough 5 with her.
"Sorry, Mom," I said before pushing her into the mark 5 and Jarvis took off with her back down to the ground. I got into the Mark 6 and got an interface ready and shot it at her. Just when it was about to hit I shot her with my Repulsor which hit her the same time the interface did.
Next thing I know she shot something else at me and all power went.
"Jack," Arcee said As I hit the ground and my armour came off.
"Cortana," I said.
"Give me a min. Resetting the systems then we in business again," Cortana said working on restoring the Mark 6. I noticed that we were under cover.
"Screw it," I said.
Then I went over and pulled out the Morpher.
"DINO THUNDER, POWER UP," I said the hit the red button. Then morphed. I pulled out my blaster and found a spot while I hit Airachnid knock her off balance and Arcee knock her off but she changed into her helicopter form and flew away. I was just about to leave.
"Wait," Arcee said. " Who are you,"
"Red Dino Ranger, gotta go," I said then used the speed a got from the Gem and sped away back to the spot where the Mark 6 was. "Power Down," I said and demorphed
"Jack, we back in business," Cortana said and I got back in and flew over to Arcee.
"Jack, you good," Arcee said.
"Fine, She hit the system with some sort of EMP. Where is she?" I said.
"Gone. Where your mom," Arcee said.
"oh, Mum you hear me," I said.
"Yeah, I hear you where are you," Mom said.
"With Arcee, Jarvis, get her back here would you," I said.
"Aye sir," Jarvis said.
"Nice, how?" Arcee said.
"Jarvis and Cortana can control these so if I need them and They can bring them to me," I said. "What happened anyway,"
Before Arcee could answer Mum got back in the mark 5 which let her out and I got out of the mark 6. Then Heard a helicopter coming this way.
"Fowler," Arcee said.
"Better later than never," I said.
"Jack, Never do that to me again," Mum said hugging me straight away.
"Okay, anyway, Arcee what happened,"I said.
"This guy calling himself the Red Dino ranger came and shot Airachnid. Giving me a clean shot. Then just left," Arcee said.
"Well, at least everything is fine, now," I said.
"What do you mean fine," Mum said.
"Fowler will take care of this and we head home," I said.
"More like back to base," Arcee said.
"Haha," I said .
"I going to check with the others," Arcee said heading off.
Then Fowler showed up/
"Mrs. Darby. I'm Special Agent William Fowler," Fowler said.
"Fowler she knows," I said.
"Okay, then," Fowler said then a soldier came out. "Let me guess without a trace,"
"Yes sir," The soldier said.
"You got to be kidding," I said.
"So what are you doing with your Granddad Morpher," Mum said.
"He gave it to me," I said.
Then Arcee came over.
"Ready to go," Arcee said.
"Always," I said. Grabbing my helmet off her. "Coming," passing Mum one and we headed off towards base.

Once we reached the base and went in and Mum ended up seeing Bumblebee, Bulkhead, Ratchet and Optimus. As well as Miko and Raf.
"Mum say hi to the team," I said.
After a few hours talking with the team, We ground bridged back home and Mum and I went to bed.
