Chapter 30.
(Jack POV)
We found another place to land as We got out as I took my weapons with me in my Transporter Buffer and Sent the Tardis away with my sonic as Arcee and I made our way on Wheel as She changed back and I got on.
"Hey, you hungry, There's a town up ahead," Arcee said.
"Best not for now, was running low on Cash before we headed off," I said.
"At least you don't have to buy Gasoline, I'm pulling over anyway. Need to stretch my legs," Arcee said. "There we go,"
"Arcee, The Team is scattered to the winds, For all we know it only us left," I said. "We haven't heard a word from anyone,"
"I don't believe that Jack, And I know you don't either," Arcee said.
"Maybe not, The Cons outnumber us a hundred to 1, Where all the other Autobots," I said.
"The war for Cybertron took a heavy toll but there were others who escaped in the Ark," Arcee said.
"So where's the Ark," I said.
"Scattered to the Winds," Arcee said. "So let's focus on getting back to Jasper,"
"No, Point, I scanned Jasper as we flew passed. The Cons have it locked down tight, There's no way in, And I'm not Calling the Tardis back in for that either, Least thing we need is them getting their hands on it," I said.
"Jack, Jack, Come in," Cortana said.
"Cortana, Where are you," I said.
"On Voyager, I've locked onto you location I'm beaming you up now," Cortana said.
"Cee, Human, Now," I said. As Arcee did that as we beamed up to Voyager. Straight to the Bridge.
"Jack, I'm picking up a ship, It's Cybertronian," Cortana said.
"Hail them," I said.
"They respond," Cortana said.
"On screen," I said.
"Ultra Magnus," Arcee said.
"Who are you," Magnus said.
"It's Arcee," Arcee said.
"Ultra Magnus, Cut your engines and come to a full stop," I said.
"Just did," Magnus said.
"Cortana, Lock on to him and beam him to Shuttlebay 2," I said. As we got to the Turbolift and headed down.
As we got into the Shuttlebay Arcee changed back into her normal form.
"Cortana, Did the Cons see that," I said.
"No," Cortana said.

After that Magnus tried to pull the whole Rank Bullshit until I got through his thick skull Then just as we thought it was over.
"Jack, I just picked up a massive Energon Explosion," Cortana said.
"You don't think," I said.
"WheelJack and Bulkhead," Arcee said.
"Just what I was thinking too, Cortana is the armour here," I said.
"Right where you are," Cortana said.
"What armour," Magnus said.
"Cortana Mark 6," I said. As the Armour came up as I got it put on. "Cortana,"
"All systems go," Cortana said.
"Cortana take us down and fire on anything attacking Bulk and Jackie," I said. As we got to the Bridge after getting Ultra Magnus to finally change form.
"We're coming into Range, But there some kind of Dragon attacking," Cortana said.
"Red Alert," I said As the Klaxons went red. "Cortana locked Phasers and fire. Then Beam them up,"
"I just did and Got 3 of them in Cargo Bay 2, Bulkhead, WheelJack and Miko," Cortana said.
As the Turbolift open as they came in.
"Hey," I said.
"Jack," Miko said.
"Arcee," Bulk said.
As they hugged us.
"Thanks for the save," Wheeljack said.
"You're welcome," I said.
"Picked up Ultra Magnus on the way," I said.
"Ultra Magnus, It's an honour," Bulk said.
"It's an honour Sir," Magnus said.
"I thought I told you to Cut the Shit out," I said. "And here's a better question, What's is that,"
"We think It's a robot Dragon," Miko said.
"Or a Cybertronian Reptile, Cortana, Can we shake it," I said.
"I'm Trying," Cortana said.
"Screw that, Aft Torpedoes Full Spread," I said.
"Ready," Cortana said.
"Fire," I said as we launch 3 at it which hit.
"I think we only pissed it off more," Cortana said. "It's firing," As we got hit. "Direct hit, Aft Shields down to 95%,"
"Computer adjust course and initiate course to Titan," I said.
"Confirmed," Computer said.
"What are you doing," Miko said.
"This," I said. "Cortana,"
"It's still on us," Cortana said.
"Computer, Warp 6 Engage," I said.
As we went to Warp getting clear of it. As we dropped out only 4 second later.
"Cortana," I said.
"We're clear," Cortana said.
"At least it doesn't have a Warp drive," I said. "Get us back to Earth, We have to find Ratchet, Bee and Raf,"
"I already have, Altering course there, Now," Cortana said.
As we got back to Earth.
"I got a lock, Beaming them up now," Cortana said. "Got them Cargo Bay 2,"
"Put Voyager, Down there," I said.
As we landed. As we got planet ground.
As Raf came over to us and hugged us.
"You're alive," Ratchet said. "Ultra Magnus,"
"Doctor," Magnus said.
"What's the coms like Ratchet," I said.
"It's needs further calibration to be compatible with Autobot frequencies and we have a fully functional Ground Bridge," Ratchet said.
"That would have come in hardy when robo Dragon was trying to eat us," Miko said.
"The Indigenous population of this planet do they all display the same disregard for authority," Magnus said.
"Oi, Try that again and put you on your backside," I said.
"And how would a human like yourself do that," Ultra Magnus said.
"This," I said used my hand weapon which put him down on his aft. "Do it again, And I'll do that again,"
As a Plane came.
"Stand down it's Fowler, He's with us," I said. As Magnus was about to shoot. As Fowler Landed.
"Jack," Mum said. As she came over and hugged me.
"It's okay, I'm fine, We all are," I said.
"Your families are safe, Agent Fowler saw to it that Jasper was evacuated in time," Mum said.
"This is all we got, There's no Signal of Smokescreen or Optimus," I said.
"Smokescreen bridged out unaccompanied only Optimus knows where," Ratchet said. "Optimus remained at the Base. To Destroy the Ground bridge,"
"Meaning there is a chance Optimus is dead, Because I managed to scan the Base sight. There nothing left. no sign of a Ground Bridge. Nothing," I said.
"With or without Prime I'm not sure we can afford to wait for him to show up not with Megatron holding our planet hostage from his high and mightily darkmount," Fowler said.
"I would be inclined to agree with the native lifeform," Magnus said. "We must stop Megatron with or without Optimus Prime,"
"Sorry who made you Boss," I said. "Exactly Shut up, Fowler we going to need another base. I got to get Voyager out of here, Speaking of which. Cortana get Voyager out of here,"
"On it," Cortana said. As Voyager took off.
"We already have one," Fowler said.
"Alright, Let's get everything we can from that harvester there," I said. "But let's see if we can hit Megatron first,"

We had a plan as I was bridged far enough that a guard post will come running.
"Here we go," I said as I sent a fake message. Then used the Bridge back. As they were closing. "That's one, Is Miko ready,"
"Should be any minute now," Ratchet said. "Miko, Your turn,"
"I really could have used the pizza," Miko said as she bridged back.
"Ratchet," I said.
"I've tapped into the Decepticons Communications network, You ready Jack," Ratchet said.
"Born ready," I said.
"I remain unconvinced," Magnus said.
"I don't remember asking him," I said.
"I will enhance your performance with static," Ratchet said.
"Do it," I said.
"Your live in 3, 2," Ratchet said.
"Decepticon Command, Do you read me, We are under Autobot attack," I said. Which they bought it. "Cortana what about the repulsors,"
"I can't get them up anymore, I think you should use," Cortana said.
"Not yet Cortana," I said. "But I know what to use," As I called the Tardis back.
"What is that?" Ultra Magnus said.
"The Sound the best ship in the entire universe," I said as the Tardis showed up.
"But it is just a box," Ultra Magnus said.
"OI, Never call my Tardis just a box," I said. As I went in.
"What are we doing here," Arcee said. As she came in with me along with Magnus. As I headed to where I stored all the weapons I got.
"Getting the one weapon which can get through almost anything," I said.
"Which is," Ultra Magnus said.
"The thing I hate," I said. As we got into the armoury. As I got it. "Got this back in Nov 1st 1930. And guess what it's from. Since they were the ones making people disappear," As I showed Arcee it.
"That's a Dalek weapon," Arcee said.
"What a Dalek," Magnus said.
"The one thing I hate the most in the entire universe," I said. "Now to see what this can do against the Cons," As we started heading back. "I really need to reverse engineer this," As we got out. "Guys. Lock and load. Ratchet,"

"Ultra Magnus, Status," I said.
"I've lost the Robot Dragon as you call it," Ultra Magnus said.
"Cee, Status," I said.
"We having trouble reaching the OBJ," Arcee said. "Security is tighter than anticipated,"
"Keep them busy, Cee. Magnus, Go," I said.
After a minute. I couldn't get Magnus.
"Arcee, Arcee, Respond," I said. But nothing. "Jack to Fowler. Scramble all Jets, Take Darkmount down, We've lost contact with the team,"
"Copy, Rolling out," Fowler said.
"Impossible, I'm picking up another Autobot signal, In flight," Ratchet said.
"Doesn't matter, Cortana, Mark 6," I said. As I suited up. "Ratchet ground bridge me there," As it opened and I took off and out. As I managed to see the Team, They were surround and the Autobot signal turns out to be Optimus. "Everyone Heads up, I know what that signal was now, Ratchet, Team Prime back together, Optimus is back,"
"YES!" As I heard Miko and Raf.
"Thank the All spark," Ratchet said.
"Guys let's go to work," I said. "Optimus, you read me,"
"Loud and clear, Jack," Optimus said.
"Optimus we need to take out those Fusion Cannons, I got a surprise for Megatron coming in hot," I said.
"Copy that, Jack," Optimus said.
"Jack, It's Fowler, We're in position and almost in range," Fowler said.
"Fowler, Fire as soon as you are in range, don't stop for anything," I said.
"Copy that," Fowler said. As I flew down and used the Dalek weapon on most of the Cons as the team got the others then head straight for Shockwave.
"Jack, The Fusion Cannons are powering up," Cortana said.
"Got it," I said. "Optimus we need them offline,"
"Working on it," Optimus said.
"You need backup, The Team has it down here," I said.
"No, Stay with the team," Optimus said.
"Copy," I said.
As I got hot by Shockwave.
"Jack," Arcee said.
"Jack, That shot just to out the Dalek weapon we had," Cortana said.
"Switch to Energon weaponry, lock onto this prick," I said.
"Target locked," Cortana said.
"Guys, get out of the way, Cortana," I said.
"Weapons ready," Cortana said. As I started shooting like it was nothing. Right at Shockwave. "Jack, The Fusion Cannons are going offline, Optimus did it,"
"Fowler, Cannons are down, Fire at will," I said.
"Copy, All fighters, Bring the Rain," Fowler said.
"We need to get out of here, Everyone fall back," I said. As we all got away.
That was when we got to the new Base that Fowler had gotten us. As we gotten everyone back including who we picked up on Cybertron and Chromia.
"On behalf of the President and the joint chiefs I thank you all for your selfless heroism in defence of this planet, I'm only sorry that the world can't yet know of your undying dedication because I for one owe you my life, My liberty and my future," Fowler said.
"Optimus, It's good to have you back, I'm passing command by to you," I said.
"It's good to be back," Optimus said. "Welcome to Earth Ultra Magnus, and to Team Prime,"
"Okay someone's got to say it, Optimus 2.0 is rad," Miko said. "imagine what the forge could for your body,"
"Is it true, The forge has been drained," Ratchet said. "Then Any hope of rebuilding the Omega Lock gas truly been lost,"
"I did what I thought was right," Smokescreen said.
"Smokescreen, your instincts have again proven to be quite sound," Ratchet said.
"Not to mention, The Team is back together again," I said. "It's not like Earth can still be home for a while, We may find another way of restoring Cybertron,"
As I headed over to Arcee as the Team all went to their human form apart from Ratchet and Ultra Magnus.
That's all for this chapter.

Love Y'all
