Last time
"Corporal, we have some news for you." the general replied, he pulled up the video of firefly and destro breaking into one of one of the joe's bases "destro and the taitor firefly, broke into prison and helped sierra and vince escaped."
At K.O. burger
I just got off from K.O burger "hello jack." a voice said
"Hello sierra, about time you show up." I replied "you've been watching me for an hour."
"How… how did you know?" sierra asked
"You're good but not that good." i replied leaning against the wall "where that lap dog of a boyfriend of yours."
Just then I heard someone yelling as they ran up behind me "you'll pay for what you did to me."
I axed kicked him into the ground leaving a spider web in the ground "oh there he is." i said "he wasn't even worth my time."
"You ruined all my plans." sierra said
Arcee just pulled up "Look heiress, i have bigger fish to fry, can you skip past the points i don't really care about."
"My mother blames me for cobra commander punishing for her." sierra said
I walked past her "not my fault, your precious cobra commander is egotistical jerk." i said "but i can promise you this, come near my family and the safest place you'll be is in hades heiress." i got on arcee and we rolled away
"What was that all about jack?" arcee asked
"Sierra and Vince letting their presence known, come on let's head back to base." I replied, "any word for optimus."
"No, not yet." arcee replied
we kept on driving but Arcee didn't say a word "arcee pull over." i told, arcee pulled over and i got off "ratchet told what happened after you left."
"Yeah." she replied "so you fought unicron, became his son and get a gift from him."
"Yeah, I gave him something and he gave me a gift in return." i replied
"Why didn't you tell me that unicron talks in your head?" arcee asked
"Because unicron needs someone to talk to, he overheard your plan to go to the core. To be honest it was pretty predictable." i replied "i fought him to buy team prime time but that is not what is really bugging you so what is it?"
"Why didn't you tell me about your nightmares Jack, I'm your partner." arcee said "what would your master say about keeping secrets."
I gave a small smile "my master would say, your a ninja deception is your best friend, you can lie to your friends, to your family but don't you dont you dare lie to me, i'm ninja at heart the shadows and deception are my allies but loyalty is to my friends and family and make so mistake team prime is my family."
Arcee took a minute or two before she spoke "let's head back to base."
When we rolled up we got agent Fowler just called "ratchet are you awake, this is an emergency." Fowler yelled
"Agent Fowler, is it Optimus?" ratchet asked
"no , it's con's and they're busting into the same military research lab they hit last time." Fowler said
"For all we know Optimus could be riding with them." Arcee said
"No Orion skills are in his mind not his might." i said
"rollout." ratchet
"Hang on just a minute guys." i said stopping them
"why?" Bulkhead asked
"Fowler, pull everyone out of there, the general would have my head if I let military personal got hurt plus Optimus would have." I said
"fine, this is agent Fowler pull all personal out immediately" fowler said
"Ok now let's go, we have some con's tailpipes to send to the scrap yard." I said transforming into armor and we all went into the ground bridge.
on the other side of the groundbridge. normal pov
The u.s military was using their tank's trying to cover the retreating personnel when they fired at their target they hit close to it but did little damage.
off to their right a groundbridge opened with autobots running out.
Snake threw a handful of dark energon kunai stopping all but one of the energon blasts from hitting the tanks As we all were running,
bulkhead yelled "drop the power source."
"Aren't you missing someone." Knockout taunted, Overhead the six aerialcons just flew in and fired on us.
"time to show you a new trick" i brought out my wings and took the sky's and started taking them out like flies with a swing of my swords When i started to come back i saw arcee go throw the cons groundbridge when I landed I transformed back to human form "she went after them didn't she?" I asked, knowing the answer.
"Yep" bulkhead replied then he comm Ratchet opened groundbridge thirty minute later, ratchet groundbridge arcee back to base and started scanning her knee for any damages "you weren't able to determine the Decepticons location or even if Optimus was on board ship."
"I couldn't confirm." Arcee replied
bulkhead got so mad that he turned and smashed one of ratchet tools and ratchet yelled "bulkhead i..."
Bulkhead interrupting "what you needed is the only thing! I need is our head honcho back." Then he smashed his fists together.
"It's not your all's fault." I said, thinking something over.
"If we needed rescuing, Optimus would have found a way, I didn't simple as that." Arcee said
If things weren't bad enough Fowler decided to call at the moment " team prime good call on calling the military back on the heist but what happened! if anything happens and we get more casualties the pentagon will make me shut down your base." Then he hung up.
"But then where will you go?" Raf asked
"Who knows, maybe an abandoned Island or shoot us into space when that would be a welcome relief." Ratchet replied
"Good call Jack thinking like Optimus." Arcee said
("Yes jack well played thinking like Optimus.") Bumblebee buzzed
"We don't know what Optimus would have done because he. NOT HERE!"bulkhead yelled the last part
"Thank you captain obvious is there anything else you can tell us that we don't already know." Arcee said getting of bulkhead and getting in his face
"Nothing I can say in front of the children." Bulkhead replied getting close to acree
"Shut up!" I yelled getting tired of the yelling "fighting with each won't help us get optimus besides aren't we overlooking a of positive, like what did the con's just get your claws on."
"Yes, now they got their hands on a power source for their spacebridge." Ratchet said sarcastically
"And how exactly would that be a positive thing?" Arcee asked
"Because that's still working on the a spacebridge and that means can we let them finish their spacebridge."
"Why so, they can bring zombies back from Cybertron." Bulkhead said still mad but cooling off
"No, we take it over and use it to send me to Cybertron." I said with determination in my eyes and a plan forming in my head.
"Whoa, that's a pretty good idea." Miko said a little shocked
"Well if Miko thinks it's a good idea." Arcee said sarcastically
"Look guys doing the right thing is never easy but we've took a spacebridge before." I said
"We blow one up, there is a difference than the five of us taking and holding one." Bulkhead replied
("We would have to find the thing.")bee buzzed
"Bee's right, we've got to find the thing first." Arcee said
"Umm hello if it's a spacebridge it wouldn't be." Miko said pointing up to space
"The term space is referred to its transport range not its physical location and we've been mentoring earth's orbit we would know if it was there." Ratchet said
"Megatron wouldn't hide it in the same place twice so it could be here on earth although I don't know why he pick earth." I reason saying the last part under my breath
"Like finding a servo in a scrapheap." Bulkhead said
"What would you do?" Miko asked
"If it was me, I would make a base on the moon or other planet and use the nemesis as a heavily armed transport ship and hide the bridge and on the moon but seeing how megatons is too fixed on Optimus to conquer this planet." My eyes were closed "ratchet get hold of a man named Jason Gatson"
"Who's Jason Gatson?" bulkhead asked
"He's a leading scientist in Geology, Aeronautics and Astronomy." Raf said
"Why?" Bulkhead
"Yeah and as of four years ago he got into trouble with North Koreans and owes me a big favor but I could only use it once so I had to be careful how I used it."
When I was done, Raf gave him a call a small white man with black hair and big red glasses. He was the textbook definition of a greek "who is this?" He asked
"Jason, it's me hubi." I replied, "I'm here to call in my favor."
"It must be something big if you're calling me." Jason said "What do you need me to do?"
"I need you to scan the earth for an element called energon. My team will send you the energy signature."
"I can do it but it will take a couple of days and a week for detailed scans." Jason replied
"Thank you Jason ,now we're square." I replied then i cut the connection "now the world just got a little smaller."
"We still have a week between now and finding him." Ratchet said sadly "or if he is truly out of harm's way."
"Bulkhead come with me." i said walking away.
"Where?" he asked
"To the roof." i replied
On the roof
When we got to the roof the sun was starting to set "What did you need."
"I'm gonna give you a word of advice, never give up on hope, when you allow yourself to give into despair and you surrender to your lowest instincts, in the darkest times, hope is something you give yourself that is the meaning of inner strength, trust me bulkhead walking down that will take deeper and darker than ever you would've thought."
"You sound like you've been there before?" bulkhead said
"I have truth be told when captured starscream and arcee had him dead to rights, i told her i was scared she turn into magetron i lied i was scared she turn into me and that's monster best lifted locked up." i said
The next day
I was able to have the day arcee took me drove to the base as bulkhead drove through the groundbridge as arcee drove through the groundbridge
After a minute or two Ratchet's computer started flashing "what is it?" bulkhead asked
"It's a high frequency signal with an embedded message for me."ratchet replied shocked
"Is it from Optimus?" Bulkhead asked
Ratchet pressed on the screen "It's from starscream." ratchet said shocked
We groundbridge back to base as bulkhead drove through the groundbridge as ratchet computer started flashing "what is it?" bulkhead asked
"It's a high frequency signal with an embedded message for me."ratchet replied shocked
"Is it from Optimus?" Bulkhead asked
Ratchet pressed on the screen "It's from starscream." ratchet said shocked
"What does screamer want?" I replied
"I have obtained information regarding your leader
bring a medical kit, come alone." ratchet read off, We groundbridge to those coordinates and starscream was hurt and bleeding energon "I told you to come alone."
"Yeah like that's a good idea." i replied, as i brought my sabers
"Since when do we listen to you?" bulkhead said sarcastically
"Where's optimus." ratchet asked
"Patch me up and perhaps I'll tell you." starscream said,
I throw a kunai hitting right between the eyes "do not press your luck, i have a half mind to make what megatron does look like mid day lunch."
"have sympathy i'm leaking here." he said, scared that he bleed to death
"Sympathy, why should I when you disgraced my Oji-san grave." i yelled
"I suggest you speak quickly." ratchet said "has optimus been harmed in any way."
"He's fine." starscream replied "can't you see i'm the one that's been harmed." trying to get away from me but he couldn't with leg bleeding.
"What's your point?" I asked as the sametime bulkhead yelled "where is he."
"Where do you think!" starscream yelled back "he's on megatron's warship
"Which is located where?" ratchet question
Starscream laughed a little bit "now who knows, it's a ship it moves, it took me months to track only to be fired upon."
"You wouldn't go to the trouble of calling me unless you had real information to trade, real information." ratchet said
"Ratchet didn't you once tell me that energon was flammable? I wonder how it feel to flames going thru your veins, painful I'm sure." i said as my flaming sword went closer to energon.
He took a defeated sigh "very well, your beloved leader may have lost his senses, he goes by the name Orion Paxs now and it seems megatron has led him to believe he's a decepticon."
Bulkhead scoffed, "tell us something we don't know."
Starcream was shocked by that "what! How could you possibly know that!"
"Come on guys he's useless." i said
Ratchet agreed with me, "Agreed, we're wasting our time." and we started walking
"Wait, that's all I have, really you can't leave me out here." Starscream yelled
We turned around and bulkhead said "unless you know where the spacebridge is, you can sit there and rust."
"You have five seconds to tell us before I show you why I'm the most feared in the ninja world." I said
Starscream took a sharp intake and said "Spacebridge ... You mean to tell me they actually got it finished building it without my supervision!" we all looked at each other, Starscream laughed a little bit then said "it hurts most right here doctor."
After he gave us coordinates, ratchet finished welding Starscrame's leak and started walking back to the groundbridge "hang on a minute guys." I said then turned back the Starscrame, I dashed over to him, pulled out the kunai and cut his right eye and punched him hard in the face hard enough to leave a dent and I managed to knock him out.
"Feel better." Ratchet said
"You read my mind." Bulkhead said
"Trust me, I could've done a lot worse," I replied 'and I might have if you all weren't around' "Come on, we have a friend to save."
Bulkhead stopped me "hey, what was all that about."
"He disgraced an honorable warrior's grave, and someone on a very short list that I truly care about." i replied "where i was raised there was no honor in fighting but in what you are fighting for and it's a high crime to disgrace the dead."
Later that day
on the computer screen flashed a decepticon symbol "The decepticon spacebridge is located right here deep with in an energon mine." ratchet said
"adjacent to a raw fuel supply clever what's our intal?" Arcee asked
"Umm a reliable source so now we have an agreement." Ratchet asked
"I would double check with Jason to see if there is a mine there." i said not really focusing on the mission, at the same time jason sent us a message "i was able to get the reading done faster than i thought here what i have so far." and the coordinates of the spacebridge matched the location of the mine.
"Jack, can you even survive on their world?" Mom asked mevBut i didn't say anything, I was focused on something else "Jack." walking up next to me, shaking my shoulder getting my attention, when i looked at her "is unicron bugging you again."
"No." i replied "dad is being quite."
"Isn't that a good thing." bulkhead said
I glared at him "no, hearing his voice is comforting at times, let me ask him "unicron can i survive on cybertron."
"Yes, for one day if you where your armor." he replied but that was all he said
I looked at everyone. "Yes I can for a day if i where my armor but that's all he said."
"The plan is we will groundbridge directly into the energon mine and make our way into the spacebridge camber neutralizing any Decepticon force we encounter once we secure the spacebrige."
"Stealth must be an absolute priority, we will most certainly be out number.." ratchet said
"The plan is we will groundbridge directly into the energon mine and make our way into the spacebridge camber neutralizing any Decepticon force we encounter once we secure the spacebrige, stealth must be an absolute priority we will most certainly be out number" ratchet said "if any Decepticon should transmit an alert to their warship." ratchet said
"the odds become four hundred to one." bulkhead said
"scrambling communication upon entry will certainly provide an edge in this regard." ratchet finished
"Leave the guards to me, Stealth is in the genes" i said
"me and arcee will spacebridge to Cybertron once we secure the bridge the problem if we keep the spacebridge open, soundwave will catch on to our plan and if we keep communication scrambler on too long someone will get alerted, so we need to hurry."
"taking the spacebridge is the easy part you all need to hold long enough for and me to get Cybertron and back." arcee said
"Raphael climb to the top of the rope in gym class we can do this." ratchet said
"What does gym class have to do with this?" Miko asked
"Let's go, we have a leader to get back." ratchet said as he opened the groundbridge and we all entered.
bulkhead and arcee say "clear."
"Give me a second." i closed my eyes i forced dark energon throw my arms and pushed into the ground sending out a dark energon pulse that react to the light energon primarily the cybertronian sparks, six down the hall, fourteen in the main chamber "twenty cons, six up ahead and fourteen in the main chamber, give me six minutes." i dashed off down the hall a few minutes later i came across a couple cons working on a drill i jump over the in and throw two kunais to their sparks and dashed down the halls i stop to look down the hall four con's guarding the elevator i ran down the hall and throw the two kunai at the first two and disappear into the shadows i got behind and used a hidden blade to the back of the third neck when and brought out a hidden bow and shot of an dark energon arrow hitting the fourth in the spark when the bots caught up the four collapsed at the same time "drag." the bots thought
"Let's move." we ran to the elevator and went down with a guard standing there but a hidden blade to the throat took care of that "shhh." i said "ratchet active the scrambler." and he did so.
We then ran to the main chamber "by the allspark." i heard ratchet said
"Thank you Starscream." Arcee said bulkhead looked at her in shock "who else could it be." She replied "i'm surprised jack didn't turn him into scrap."
"He almost did." bulkhead replied under his breath as he was looking around the bridge
there was a massive space bridge with six support beams and walkway going to the space bridge. There were six cons manning the bridge "there's eight cons patrolling around, arcee can you take out four of them." arcee silently agreed "good bee go with i'll out the other four, bulkhead ratchet stay here."
"Why?" bulkhead asked
"Because we need ratchet technical support and you're staying to watch his back." i replied, that we disappeared and when i found my four i made short work of them than returned to bots "let's take the rest." i out two but arcee before could out the con tried to comm the nemesis ": commend this is spacebridge control we are under attack:." But he got was nothing but static ":commend do you read.:" But then was offlined by bulkhead
"Shh." Ratchet said, tossing the scrambler up "a masterpiece of engineering."
"Is it operational?" Arcee asked
ratchet tapped on the screen and it came online "Completely." He replied
"Perimeter secure." Bulkhead said
"Now comes the scary part." Arcee said watching there backs
"I'm shutting down the scrambler in order to contact the base and to maintain communication for the remainder of the mission." Ratchet said doing just that ":strike team to base objective complete.:" ratchet comm
"Good luck jack." mom said
"Bring me back a souvenir." raf said
"Be safe jack." miko said
"Godspeed son." Fowler said
"Now where would the fun be in that." I replied
"You ready partner." Arcee sais
I took out the key card and said "let's do this." as spacebridge the spacebridge opened.
Than ratchet walked over to us and said "I'll leave the space bridge open to eliminate communication lag over the great distance and make it easier locate when your ready to return" ratchet said
"Easier to locate?" i asked
"You're not just jumping them to their destination?" mom asked
"The location to Vector Sigma is shrouded in myth and rumor, nurse darby ." Ratchet said "It said the path of the prime leads there we must be confident Optimus will guide you there."as i opened my spacebridge thinking it would be in iacon
"don't worry jack spacebridgeing is just like groundbridging ." when it opened it was more intents "just more intents." Arcee shouted over the sound i transferred into the armor and we walked through
On the other side ":ratchet we made it:" arcee comm just as ratchet when I looked around it looked like a war zone "Whoa guys I'm on cybertron I'm actually on cybertron Arcee I can't believe it." I said as I looked up to her
she was sad "this isn't how I wanted you to see my home." She said
"I'm sorry." I said
"In the fog of war it's hard to see beyond the next leg of the mission or the next punch in the fight. We did everything to save Cybertron but when the fog finally lifted there wasn't much left to save." She said
"You still have time to save Cybertron if you don't give up on hope." i said than ratchet comm in :"arcee, jack do you copy.":
:"roger we're on cybertron.": I replied I could imagine everyone shout for joy at the base.
:"Just keep the sightseeing to a minimum.": bulkhead said
:"Indeed we don't know if your journey is five clicks away or five hundred." Ratchet said
"Understood we're out." Arcee said
I brought out the key and said "okey ratchet said the key would guide us but I don't see how or what I'm supposed to ." Just then it growed brighter in one area than the other, it pointed towards a bridge.
"There you go." arcee said than she transformed and we drove off
A few minutes later
We kept driving and when I pulled out the key card was leading us to a city with big skyscraper and and huge drop with only way in or out
"Toward kaon." Arcee said in shock
"Great the Decepticon capital." I replied when we got to a bridge arcee stop
"We're on foot from here." She said, she stopped and I got off as she transformed "We don't want engine noise to attract the wrong kind of attention." Arcee said activating her gun
"Con's?" I asked
"Vermin." She replied
I took out the key card and it pointed to kaon "this way" I said and we started walking across the bridge
A few minutes later we walked around and saw the key started to glow brighter "we must be close." I said I looked up and there was a statue of Megatron "boy someone sure is full of himself." I said as we continued walking till we came into a courtyard-like place.
When we walked in and the ground started shaking and cracking then the key started glowing brighter a few minutes later a gate came out of the ground and when we got close the lines on it glowed then the door opened "vector Sigma is down here." I said surprised.
"Remember, Kaon wasn't always the decepticon, Megatron took it as a capital without ever realizing what was under their feet." Arcee said then we heard something on top of the gate. It was a giant bot-beatle that dived at us,
tell me what you think please a review the more you review the faster i work on a story
