Story Start

Autobot Outpost Omega One

It has been two weeks since Drive fought Mashin Chaser to rescue Miko. Since then Miko is seen spending more time at the base, and avoiding getting in trouble at school. Currently she is reading a magazine while Raf and Bumblebee race an each other on their Xbox. She looks over towards Ratchet to see Starfire helping Ratchet repair some of his old tools, for emergencies. Optimus and Bulkhead is currently out on patrol. Krim Steinbelt is currently working on two Shiftcars and another project he won't talk to anyone about.

Miko lowers her magazine and looks up to the clock above the elevator and says, "Where is Jack?"

Raf looks to her for a moment before returning to his game and answering, "It was Jack and Vinces' turn to set up the Shop class for the week they must be running late," making Miko nod before she checks her phone.

"Wow," Miko says as she looks at the feed for her Facebook, "Jack beat Vince in a race."

Raf and Bumblebee both crash in the game after hearing that. Raf then says, "What?"

"Siera just posted the results of a one mile race," Miko says before smirking and shows the two the image of Jack and Arcee, "The winner was Nick Darcy. She posted the wrong name with a picture of Jack and Arcee, next to Vince's car at the starting line, though apparently Jack and Arcee won by a third of the race. Neat."

"What if his mother finds out?" Raf questioned.

"All the photos are of him with his helmet on, and everyone is asking who the hell is Nick Darcy," Miko scrolls through the comments until she finds one comment, "Ha, Vince says he is just some no name. So Jack is off the hook."

"But Vince, will deal with the backlash," Raf comments before hearing the main doors open, "They are back it seems," they hear a motorcycle coming through the tunnel.

Arcee and Jack arrive through the main and once Jack was off Arcee she transformed from her bike form and says, "Not a word."

"Riders honour," Jack says with his hand on his heart.

Arcee nods and walks away. Jack turns towards the human area to see Miko standing behind him who says, "And the Winner is," shocking Jack but before he could interrupt she finishes with, "Nick Darcy," before she laughs.

"What?" Jack questioned in confusion.

The answer came from Raf who says, "It is all over social media, though Siera call you Nick Darcy, and if we didn't know it was you we would have only seen Arcee in the picture," he finishes with showing Jack the picture of the starting line of his race with Vince.

Jack brought Miko and Raf in close causing Miko to lightly blush, Jack then says, "This does not get told to the bots or my Mum, and defiantly not Optimus."

Raf and Miko both nod in agreement, but Jack stares her straight in the eyes. Miko starts to sweat and says, "Okay, Okay I won't tell anyone," while staring straight back at Jack, making him nod in acceptance.

Their attention was gained by Krim Steinbelt using the Type Speed Shift Car beeping at them and then saying, "Could the three of you come to the 'Kid's zone' I have completed two new shift cars ready and Raf's side project is completed."

"Side Project?" Miko questioned in curiosity.

Ratchet then stands up and cleans his hands with an old tarp, he then says to Starfire "Thank you for your assistance Starfire, I think Doctor Steinbelt has an announcement for you."

Starfire nods before going to the Kid's zone. Once there she sees Jack holding Krim and putting him on. Starfire then asks, "What is the reason you needed to see me, Doctor Steinbelt?"

"Yes, but first I have two introductions to make," Krim Steinbelt started before two Shift Cars appeared on white like the Technic Shift Car only with two thrusters on the back, driving on a road made of ice. The second Shift Car appears to be flying on two green beams doing tricks. It is purple cat themed Shift Car with glowing green lights and wheels. "I give you Raging Blizzard and Space Cat." As the two Shift Cars land on the coffee table in the Kid's Zone.

"So I take it that Raging Blizzard is an Ice based Shift Car," Jack says before asking, "But what does Space Cat do?"

"First test Raging Blizzard with Type Technic," Krim replied, "Space Cat is a surprise for after this test."

Type Technic drives on its highway and jumps into Jack's hand, "Henshin," Jack says before transforming. –'Drive Type Technic'- Drive then removes the Type Technic Shift Car and flipped Raging Blizzard before changing tires. –'Tire Change!'- Tridoron creates a white Wheel with two thrusters' attachments on either side that flies towards Drive. The wheel attaches to Drive's neck area while the two thrusters attached to either arm. –'Raging Blizzard'-

Drive examines his arms to look closely at turbines that attached to his arms, with his wrist brace in a special slot in the left arm turbine. "So," Drive started, "Just a simple point and pull the trigger?"

"Yes, but aim for the crates at the other side of the room," Krim states and Drive does just that, resulting in a crate being frozen into a small glacier with the top of the crate looking like a seat for a frozen throne.

Arcee returns from further in the base with her terminal and sees the frozen crate and says, "Ratchet I know I asked for a chair but this just cold of you," causing Miko to snigger at her unintentional joke.

Ratchet turns from his computer and says, "Doctor Steinbelt is testing some new equipment," making Arcee nod as he turns back to his terminal.

"I'll find somewhere else to read," Arcee replied and left the main chamber.

Drive looks to the thrusters again and asks, "Is there any way to reduce the damage this shift car does or even increase the output?"

Krim's faceplate shows an unamused emote and he says, "There is a dial where your right wrist should be," Drive looks to where his right wrist is and sees a dial with four settings. The settings are ROAD, GLACIER, CRYO and ICICLE. "ROAD makes bridges and roads, GLACIER freezes objects like that crate, while CRYO captures opponents," Drive fiddled with the dial, setting it to ICICLE and launches an Icicle into the stone wall behind at the back of the kid's zone, "Careful where you aim when selecting ICICLE mode, it fires a projectile that can penetrate through solid steel."

Drive then looks down towards Krim and says, "From now on we are testing new equipment, where we can avoid accidently KILLING SOME ONE!" shouting towards the end.

"Understood," Krim replies before saying, "For now you can power down. The next Shift Car is for Starfire." At the end of his sentence the Type Speed and Type Wild attaching a purple wrist watch like Jack's only instead of it acting as a shift lever, the Shift Cars are just inserted. Krim then says as the Space Cat shift car lands in Starfire's hand, "With Raf's aid and Miko's design input, we invented armour for you so that you can uses your abilities in day light. Give it a try."

Starfire nods and inserts the Space Cat Shift car into her Brace, which resulted in a bright green light enveloping her. Once revealed she is wearing thigh high go go boots, a miniskirt that is to short revealing her white panties just under the hem, her stomach is bare showing off her belly button, her chest and shoulders are covered with purple chest armour while her back is bare, and the top half of her face is covered with a transparent green visor attached to a helmet like what she came to Earth wearing. (Basically a magical girl transformation, her armour is themed like Tameranian Armour.)

Starfire looked at herself and says, "It is a little tight in the chest, but I love it," she hugs Miko then goes straight to Raf and hugging him a little longer. Raf blushes at the close contact, while Jack and Miko both smirk at the interaction.

Europe-Night time-Small Mountain Village outside an old castle.

A man clad in purple leathers and black helmet, riding a black with purple flame design with skull above the headlight. Behind him are two dark green vans with the passenger of the first van is Roidmude, 153.

They enter a small village in the centre of Europe where they have located their target. A target that over twenty years ago was nothing more than a common thief, until he stole a certain prototype.

They reach the town centre and park their vehicles, and 153 disembark from the lead van. His goggle covered eyes scan the area and see a tavern. He orders his men, "Wait here," they all nod in acknowledgment. 153 entered the tavern, making the room go silent. He looks around the room before walking to the man behind the bar and asks, "I am looking for directions for the local castle," causing some of the people to tense.

The bartender did not even flinch. He then says, "Don't bother going up there," as he cleans a glass, "It has been abandoned for years," with complete honesty.

"I am here to retrieve stolen property," 153 replies and is interrupted.

"Lupin stole a lot of stuff," the Bartender explained, "The only way to reach the castle is by a foot bridge through the other side of the forest on the North side of town. But be warned those who have ventured there never came back," leaving 153 to nod and leave.

153 returns to his troops and says, "locate and adequate base of operation," and they go to do just that, while Chase stayed at his side.

America-Random North Western state-Night time.

A red European designed sports car is driving along a winding back road towards a group of cars about to race. The group was three different model muscle cars in line. The red European car pulls up next to a dark blue muscle car with large air intake on the hood.

The driver of the of the muscle car winds down his window and says, "Nice ride, European design?" the red sports car does not reply making the driver angry and he looks to his ringed hand, "Pity if someone damaged that nice paint job," and uses the ring to scratch the paint.

The Red sports car's side mirror moves to look at the scratch, inside the empty car's dash lights up and growls before saying, "Big mistake," the race then starts. As the four cars were racing down the abandoned highway, where the red sports car knocked the other two cars leaving him alone with dark blue muscle car. The Red car then forced the Blue car to spin out and stall. The Red car transforms into Knockout, where he then says, "You scratch me I scratch you," he rips the canopy of the car to reveal the human driver shaking it terror, Knockout grasps the human brings his hand's pointed fingers and bring the metal digit to the humans face.

The screams of terror are heard form a mile away.

Jasper-Navada-Jasper High School-a week later.

Jack exits the High School where he walks past Siera and her friend, where she sees him.

Siera speaks to him and says, "Hey Nick, I enjoyed your race," causing Jack to sigh.

"Its Jack not Nick," Jack replies in annoyance.

"Right," Siera replied before trying to look cute, "So is that ride still on offer?"

Jack was about to reply until Vince interrupted, "A loser like him isn't worth your time," he turns to Jack and says, "Our race isn't over; I do not accept the result. So tonight we settle this, eleven o'clock in the storm drains at the north edge of town, and we will see how you handle a Race with the big boys."

Jack looks over Vince's shoulder to see Siera lick her lips in lust. Jack gains a thoughtful look and gives his answer.

Road to the Autobot Base-Ten minutes later.

"You did what?!" Arcee shouts as Jack rides on her towards the base.

"Vince challenged me to another race," Jack answers and adds at the end, "and I refused. It was a onetime deal. Plus I know what the guys who use the storm drains to race are like. If you are disliked by their crew ended with totalled cars or worst."

Arcee appeared to quirk an eyebrow and says, "And you know this, How?"

"Mom told me after an incident, where there was a ten car pileup," Jack answered. This is true six years ago a large group of street racers raced through town unfortunately a truck crossed the path of six cars killing all the drivers, but not quickly their deaths were slow and painful from the trucks contents of steel rusty pins stabbing them, causing them to bleed to death or poisoned from the rust. The truck driver was later found murdered, tortured with rusty steal pins. (Basically what is used in the construction of concrete structures.) "So I avoid racing anyone I don't know."

"So you would race, but only in a far race," Arcee commented, "So what about our race with Vince?"

Jack smirks under his helmet, "Human car versus the Supergirl of motorcycles, we just wanted to trounce him," causing Arcee to laugh.

Between laughing fits she says, "That is true, though what is a 'Supergirl' you mentioned?"

"Comic book character that came to Earth from her dying homeworld and becomes its protector," Jack answered, "We humans like to look to the skies to find ideas to entertain ourselves. Though if Hollywood discovered giant robots a couple hours away you would be offered a Hollywood contract to star in movies, or even contacted by motorcycle magazines and asked to pose," he laughs at that information.

"And why is that funny?" Arcee questioned with slight anger.

"Well in your case you would be asked questions like your stats and," he clears his throat and finishes with, "Measurements."

Arcee realises what he is saying and asks, "So instead of one teenagers falling in love with me I would get all the boys," with a joke towards the end.

"You are never going to let me live that down aren't you?" Jack mutters.

"Well it is the first thing you ever said to me," Arcee replies before internally smirking, "Though from the looks of things, did you lose interest in the Sierra girl?"

"She called me Nick again," Jack replied before saying, "but it also looked like she wanted to eat me," he then shudders, "I'm starting to think that some of the rumours may be true."

"Oh you mean like what Miko said about her being a slut," Arcee mentions with Jack nodding as they reach the base. Jack gets off of Arcee before she transforms where they see the only bots and person at the base, are Optimus, Ratchet and Miko. Arcee then asks Optimus, "Where is Bulk and Bee?"

"Bulkhead is on patrol," Optimus answered while looking at the base's secondary terminal, he then faces Arcee, "Bumblebee went with Starfire and Raf to the local mountains for Starfire, we still need to limit the amount of time she flies near the base."

Jack looks around and sees Krim around Miko's waist as she was sitting on the couch, apparently taking to Krim. Jack climbs up and hears, "Why can't you build me armour?"

Krim sighs and says, "Miko, I could make Starfire armour because she is the power source, while Space Cat holds the armour. If I built you armour I would need an A.I. core, a self sustaining power source and don't get me started with the programming."

Jack then hears Miko huff angrily, Jack then makes his presence know by saying, "Hey Miko, Gramps what are you two talking about?"

"Miko has been on me to build her armour like yours," Krim started and sighs before finishing, "Miko I can't build you armour, we just don't have all the components."

Miko sighs before Bumblebee returns with Raf and Starfire, all three happily talking to one another.

Jack sits down next to Miko and says, "Vince challenged me to a race. With the local street racers."

Miko perks up and asks, "When is it?"

"When is it?" Miko asks in excitement.

"Tonight, but I refused," Jack answers, he then adds, "I think some of the rumours are true about Siera. Vince challenged me in front of her but," he couldn't find the words.

"She licked her lips like she wanted to devour you," Miko finished for him shocking him.

"How did you know?" Jack questioned.

Miko pulls out her phone and says, "Sorry you heard it from me," she then shows him a picture of Siera getting gang banged in a supply closet at school by Vince's friends, "This is her when I first came to Jasper, after she threatened to get me deported."

"And you have this on your phone, why?" Jack questions as he hands the phone back to Miko.

Miko sighs and says, "I have other pictures of other events that one is to shove in her face. Recently I discovered that she wants to have sex on a motorcycle at full speed."

"Why didn't you tell me sooner?" Jack questioned while rubbing his face.

"You would have thought I was lying or that I drew them," Miko answered sadly and added, "plus the whole 'She is your crush' and I didn't want to lose one of the only friends I have."

Jack sighs and says, "Well I can understand that," Jack sighs again and says, "But it looks like I dodged two bullets, though the second one means I avoid Arcee from stepping on me," and relaxes until...

"What would make me want to step on you?" Arcee questioned.

Jack couldn't find the words to answer but was saved by Miko, who says, "Siera plans to seduce Jack while riding you," she smirks.

"Yep, never offering her a ride," Jack says making Arcee nod.

"Good," Arcee speaks before gaining a smirk and says, "I don't want to be a part of an interspecies three way," causing Jack to cough and Miko to fall off the cough laughing.

Raf and Starfire as Jack yells Arcee saying, "You have been hanging out with Miko to much!" while Miko continues to laugh on the floor.

Once everyone calms down Miko says to Starfire and Raf what happened with Siera and Her plan for Jack and his 'bike' causing the two blush and Starfire asking questions about why she would want to do that. Where Miko took her away from the unconscious Raf, too much blood to his head, turning into a tomato. After they leave Jack helps Raf onto the couch, and they just sit there.

Europe-Mountain Village-Late Afternoon.

They had been in the village for the last week in an abandoned warehouse. Inside the area is filled with laptop computers and other surveillance devices, including a satellite uplink. Chase is standing next to his bike while 153 speaks to Silas on a computer screen.

"We have located our target," 153 informs Silas, "We will send Mashin Chaser at midnight."

"Good retrieve the new rider," Silas orders.

"It shall be done," 153 salutes before the screen turns off.

At this point a Bat Roidmude scout arrives covered in scorch marks arrives. Once it reaches 153 it falls to its knees and says, "The others were destroyed as soon as they reached the edge of the castle, I don't know what got them but they just bodies suddenly vansished in front of me before their cores exploded," was as far as it got before its body shatters and its core exploded.

153 was not phased as he orders Chase, "Mashin Chaser prepare for your mission."

Autobot Outpost Omega One-one hour after Jack's return to base.

Jack, Raf and Starfire are currently working on their homework while Miko messes around on Raf's computer. Though Raf is tutoring both Jack and Starfire on their algebra.

Jack looks to Miko and says, "Our Homework is due tomorrow, Miko."

Miko waves him off and continues to use the laptop before saying, "Already did it," shocking the other teenagers into silence.

Before Jack could question her the base elevator opens to reveal Fowler holding a cream folder. He steps out of the elevator and shouts, "Prime!"

Optimus steps towards Fowler and asks, "Agent Fowler what is the emergency?"

Fowler steps towards the human terminal for the computer system, and inserted the file into the scanner and says, "Ever since your encounter with the two new Decepticons we have received police reports from eye witness accounts of a red sports car of European design has been participating in illegal street races, there has been no deaths, but a week ago one witness was attacked by the Decepticon known as Knockout," as he finishes his sentence a map of America and a male with a large gash on the side of his face where shown.

Starfire gasps at the sight of the man with the gash. Jack's focus was on the map of America shows red dots of all the locations that Knockout was spotted and realised where Knockout would be next. Jack sighs and says, "So Knockout has been terrorising illegal street racers and his next target will be in Jasper."

"What makes you think that kid?" Fowler questions as he then looks at the map.

"Because there is a race tonight," Miko stated, "North side of town in the storm drains and the map appears to show Knockouts route he has taken," she turns to Jack and says, "Looks like you will be racing after all," with a smirk.

Jack groans and says, "Great, I get to race crazy murderous people, joy."

"And more than likely save them," Krim added from his spot around Miko's waist, "If the older racers are there they will probably convince them not to join the race once they see Jack. Or should I say Drive."

Miko looks down and says, "So Jack transforms with you and then drives Tridoron and I 'drive' Bubblebee in the race," she uses air quotes with the word 'drive' while smiling, "While the bots keep an eye out for Decepticons."

Fowler looks to Optimus and with a nod says, "This Decepticon, Knockout, what would happen to the Decepticons if they lose him?"

Optimus nods a holds his chin with his right arm and after a moment says, "Knockout is a Decepticon medic."

Bulkhead added, "He is more an egotistic scientist. Though if Knokout is racing, and Starscream hasn't punished him," Bulkhead didn't finished.

"You think he is the Cons only medic?" Arcee questions.

"Yeah," Bulkhead answers before saying, "Its why you normally see him with Breakdown or even a battalion of Vehicons."

Raf then appears to type on his laptop and says, "With satelite imagery I have found the races route."

"Raf, it is the same route each time," Jack spoke, "They only change the route when the police catches one of their crew or they caught on."

This causes Raf to sigh and become embarrassed but is cheered up by Starfire's smile. Miko Jack smirks at the sight. Fowler looked at each of the kids before turning to Optimus and asking, "What do you think?"

Jack then added, "If we do this, Bee will need a driver otherwise Bee will be forced to deal with a group of homicidal car racers."

"You are not helping your case, Jack," Fowler replied.

"Well it is the truth," Jack counters and then says to Optimus, "If we do this, Bee can't win race he will need to take a dive."

"Would Vince know this?" Miko questioned in curiosity.

"They won't kill Vince, especially as he can get them car parts," Jack retorted, "No one tell my mother," and gets four nods of agreement.

Optimus sighs before Ratchet says, "Optimus this may be our best chance to deal a crippling blow to the Decepticons, with minimum risk."

Optimus goes into deep thought before asking Krim, "Professor Stienbelt, Jack if we forced Knockout away from the race would it cause an issue?"

"Only if we bet money," Krim states before saying, "So no betting on the race or winning should be simple."

Optimus seemed to be to have a look of regret before he says, "Very well," he turns to Jack and says, "Jack you are in charge as you have the most recent experience dealing with these humans."

"Optimus," Arcee went to challenge his orders.

"I believe Jack will be capable of leading this mission, while you, Bulkhead and myself will be ready to engage Knockout to remove the danger to humans."

Arcee appears to relent and acknowledges Optimus' orders but says, "Once we have Knockout, Jack and Miko head to base to ensure their safety," where Optimus and Jack nod in agreement.

So for the next few hours were spent to prepare with them preparing their ambush. Fowler contacts the local police and has them prepare to arrest those participating in the race.

Decepticon Warship-Medbay

Starscream enters the Medbay of 'his' warship, with his arms behind his back, to see Breakdown as he finally finished polishing Megatron. (For a better description search Transformers Prime Megatron.) He still remembers how he found Megatron in the wreckage of the space bridge with only a piece of Dark Energon to sustain him, which Starscream claimed.

Starscream planned to leave Megatron to die, but was forced to return with Megatron after Lazerbeak, Soundwave's spy drone, spotted their injured leader. Once they returned to the ship Starscream discovered the Soundwave had contacted Knockout and Breakdown to discover they were a system away.

Starscream then appears to look around the Medbay and notices a lack of a red ground 'enthusiast.' Starscream turns to Breakdown and says, "Where did Knockout go? He better not be racing."

Breakdown sputters and defends his partner, "Knockout said that Megatron's condition only really needs to be monitored and even the Vehicons could do it."

Starscream narrows his eyes and asks, "When will Knockout return?"

"When I contacted him, he said that he would return after a race in a place called Jasper," Breakdown replies.

At this point Soundwave entered the chamber, so Starscream demands, "Breakdown go and retrieve Knockout."

"Yes, Commander Starscream," Breakdown responds before leaving the ship through a Ground Bridge, before Starscream could correct him.

Starscream growls and says, "Couldn't we get a better medic?" to Soundwave who simply shakes his head, causing Starscream to sigh.

Jasper-Northern edge of town-10:45pm

Currently the Autobots and Tridoron are driving along the highway, Optimus with his replacement trailer and Arcee with her Saddie hologram active, Bumblebee holding his passenger Miko, while Drive Type Speed drives Tridoron.

"Shouldn't we be checking our comms?" Drive questioned over the radio system in Tridoron.

"You are correct Jack," Optimus replies before ordering, "Autobots call in."

"I hear you, Bossbot," Bulkhead says on the comms.

Bumblebee beeps before Miko says, "We read you loud and clear Bossbot and you Drive," getting Bumblebee to chuckle.

Arcee sighs and says, "Jack, you are in charge so if you think it is important to check our comms then it is," over the comms.

"Right," Drive replies before saying, "Gramps can you give me a map of the area?" Krim does just that. Drive examines the map of the area and says, "Optimus you'll need to follow the race on a parallel course. Arcee and Bulkhead join him while Bumblebee, Miko and Tridoron, Gramps and myself will say hello to the other racers," and he receives five acknowledgments.

Of course Miko decided to question, "So why can't we win again?"

"Because unlike ten years ago, these racers are the type to who would kill if you insulted them," Drive replied and then adds, "And this time don't go sneaking off to take photos."

"Aw man," Miko complains.

"Now Miko when we get to the starting point we will need to step out of our 'cars' when we do we will need to listen to any rules that the host has," Drive informs Bumblebee and Miko, "This should be a race between adrenaline junkies, but if we are expected to bet money to race the mission is off. If they try to force you to bet a pink slip, kick them in the crotch and then run," causing Miko to laugh hysterically.

They then reached the point where they are expected to divide their forces five minutes away from the starting point. Tridoron and Bumblebee drive down the entrance ramp into the storm drainage, to see twenty other cars seven of which are at the starting line. Tridoron and Bumblebee are parked next to the racers, allowing for Drive and Miko to step out of the 'cars.'

"So where is this 'host' that I have heard about," Miko questioned.

The answer came from a man of Asian heritage, wearing a closed fur lined red leather trench coat, "That would be me," he turns to Drive, revealing a dead look in his eyes and says, "I see you were able to revive Krim, Jack Darby but why are you here?"

Drive appeared to be confused until Krim says, "Heart," he then appears to get angry when he says, "What are you doing here?!"

"Medic, Brain and Myself were betrayed by Frost," Heart answered as he clutches his chest, "So since then we have been trying to help humanity in different ways. For me it was ensuring these people did not kill each other," with a sigh he ends with, "and failing at that."

Drive decides to answer, "There is a dangerous 'driver' attacking people, no deaths or life threatening injuries only cosmetic scaring. If you see a red European sports car contact us," referring to himself and Krim.

Heart pulls out two cards and says, "Rules are simple, no trying to kill each other on purpose. Those cards I gave you have my Radio channel and no I don't give them to everyone. The winner of the race wins some cash. No pink slips," he finishes and before he leaves he adds, "This is the last race I am hosting if you need to talk I will be at the local junk yard," he walks to a red convertible and just leans on it.

Miko stood next to Drive and whispers, "did he seem depressed to you?" and received a nod from Drive.

Before either of them could say anymore, Vince stepped towards them and says as he looks at their 'cars', "Talk about lame, where did you get these cars bottom of a junk heap," and he laughs.

Krim spoke before Miko could retort, "Unlike your gelopi over there," Drive points towards Vince's black muscle car with poorly painted flames on the side, "Our car are one of a kind," Drive pats Tridoron's roof, "My car here is made using only parts that I have constructed and designed," at the end he sounded smug.

"If you are so sure you will win," Vince started he reaches into his coat and pulls out a pink slip, "Winner gets the others car."

Drive snatched the pink slip from Vince and Krim says, "What do we have here?" Drive appears to read. Krim examines the Pink slip and finds something interesting, "Normally when you bet a Pink slip, it is for the car in the race and not a Volkswagen. It is an old scam, bet another car most likely a hunk of junk, though racing for Pink slips here can permanently destroy your reputation."

"Ha," Vince countered, "What's wrong too scared of the chance to lose your car," he mocks as he walks away.

Miko looks at Vince as he walks away and says, "So do you think he challenged Jack to race so he could win Arcee?"

Drive appears to be upset when he says as he holds the pink slip up, "Car would probably be stolen," he sighs and puts the pink slip in Tridoron, "When we get back to base I'll have Raf check," causing Miko to nod.

They both then see Siera take her position as the starting flag. Miko returned to Bumblebee's driver seat while Drive entered Tridoron. Vince's car is located at the back where he is soon joined with Knockout setting up next to him on his driver's side.

Vince smirked as he opens his window to speak, "Hey, babe you come here often?" and flirts with Knockout. Knockout's side mirror rises to look at Vince and then just ignores him. This pisses off Vince so he pulls out a pair of knuckle dusters in his hand before smashing the side of Knockout door, "Have fun buffing that out," and begins to laugh.

Inside Knockout his dash lights up and he says, "You are road kill, or better yet research material," and darkly chuckles.

Three cars ahead of them Bumblebee talks over the radio after seeing what happened over the radio.

Arcee then replies over the radio, "Wait, Vince just attacked Knockout. Are you serious?"

Drive looks at Tridoron's windshield to see a recording from Midnight Shadow in Bumblebee and looks closely at Knockout's chosen wheel form and says, "I think Vince mistook Knockout for a girl and Knockout chose a form designed to attract human female buyers," and over the radio they all hear Miko, Bulkhead and Bumblebee laughing, with Arcee trying to not join in. Drive then says, "and Now we are going to have to save him," and receives a shout of what, from most of the bots and Miko.

Siera lifted her arms into the air and then swings her arms down having all the Racers set off past Siera forcing her to hold her skirt down as they all pass. As they reach the first mile Bumblebee and Drive sees Knockout slam into Vince's car forcing him out of the Storm drains. Tridoron and Bumblebee slammed the breaks a drift past each other to turn around and speed after Knockout.

"Optimus, Knockout is chasing Vince away from the other racers," Drive informs over the radio as the reach the ridge of the storm drain, to see them travelling in the opposite direction of the race.

"On our way," Optimus responds over the radio.

Miko then says over the radio to Drive, "J-Drive, Why are we trying to save Vince?"

"Because it is the right thing to do," Drive replied before adding, "Though we don't need to 'save' his car," as Knockout slams into Vince's car causing him to spinout and flip. Vince is then seen climbing out his car with a nasty bruise on his forehead, after he manages to get waist length from his car he collapses unconscious. Drive then informs Optimus over the radio, "Optimus, Vince is unconscious."

Knockout transforms and walks towards Vince, and goes to stand on him only for Tridoron to suddenly perform a ramp less jump and swing its body to knock him away with the rear of Tridoron. Tridoron then transforms into its Technic form and begins to punch Knockout with its 'arms.'

"Miko get Vince out of here," Drive orders before Bumblebee pulls up next to Vince and Miko steps out to help Vince. Looking down she sees he has pissed himself making her shake her head before taking a picture, and then pulling him into Bumblebee.

Tridoron continues to grapple with Knockout as Drive asks over the radio, "What is the eta on that backup?"

"We can reach you in Five Minutes," Arcee replied.

Drive looks behind him and says, "Miko got Vince but I'm distracting Knockout. So a little help would be appreciated."

"Hold on Jack we are on our way," Optimus shouts over the comms.

Drive then mutters, "Easier said than done," as he continues to grapple with Knockout. Drive looks at Knockout's face to see that they are both straining to beat the other, until Drive then sees Knockout smirk at a sight behind Tridoron. Drive then looks behind him to see Breakdown ram into Tridoron to knock him away from Knockout causing Tridoron to flip on to its back.

As Drive attempts to recover Breakdown transforms into robot form and says, "Starscream wants you back on the Nemesis."

"Of course, but I am sure that Starscream will appreciate us setting a trap for the Autobots, with their new pet here," Knockout suggested as he points to Tridoron as Drive climbs out the window. Knockout steps towards Drive and picks him up by his chest and says, "Because of you the puny human who dented and scraped my paint got away," he looks around and sees and abandon warehouse he hid in earlier, "Breakdown drag his car," and begins to walk towards the warehouse with Drive struggling in his grip. .

Europe-Outskirts of small village-path to Lupin Castle.

Mashin Chaser stepped through the forest with the spider shield on his arm. (Wait is it a shield or is it an oversized knife?) Mashin Chaser walks through the forest then raises his left arm to block a barrage of blasts from an unknown assailant. Mashin Chaser looks past his shield to see an old Bat Roidmude covered in cracks and covered in patch ups. Mashin Chaser changed his weapon to the Bat bow weapon and shoots the Bat Roidmude destroying its body to reveal a cracked and sparking 103 core, with electricity sparking off it before exploding.

Mashin Chaser continued its trek too Lupin Castle before two metal arms came out of the ground and grabbed his ankles. He is then pulled into the ground up to his waist, before an old and damaged Snake Roidmude digs its way out of the ground. It steps towards Mashin Chaser as it reveals its open 'Mouth' with fangs covered a toxic green fluid.

Mashin Chaser changes his weapon to its snake whip, where he throws it over a thick tree branch, before it coils around the Snake Roidmude's 'throat'. Mashin Chaser then chokes the Snake by into the air by pulling and retracting the Snake whip, before releasing his grip on the weight of the Snake Roidmude. Resulting in Mashin Chaser being pulled out of the ground, after the Snake Roidmude landed on its front, Mashin Chaser crushes its chest as he lands on the Roidmude destroying both its body and core.

Mashin Chaser continued down the forest path until he reached a barrier made of large webs, blocking his path. He changes his weapon to the spider shield and cuts his way through the webs. As he is cutting the webs a Spider Roidmude that is in an even worse condition than the previous Roidmude's jumped him and begun to constrict its arms and legs around Mashin Chaser's body in a full nelson.

Mashin Chaser's responce was to back into a tree as hard as possible. It caused the tree to collapse and it loosens the grip of the Spider had on Mashin Chaser. Mashin Chaser forces the Spider off of himself stabbed the Spider through the chest with his shield, but instead of exploding it just fell to pieces.

Mashin Chaser continues to the castle, cutting down all the webs blocking his path until he reaches the front of the castle.

Jasper Outskirts-Vince Car wreck

Arcee, Bulkhead and Optimus arrives to find Vince's wrecked car, to find two sets of Cybertronian foot prints heading for an abandoned warehouse on the edge of town. Arcee kneels down and says, "Jack must have used Tridoron to distract Knockout while Miko and Bee got Vince away," she looks to her left to see tire marks and then to her right to see disturbed sand, "a second con showed up and flipped Tridoron."

"Breakdown must have shown up," Bulkhead added and looked in the direction they went, "I smell a trap."

Arcee stood up and says, "Then let's spring the trap," and was about to transform Optimus stopped her.

Optimus radioed Bumblebee and say, "Bumblebee what is the human's condition?" he listens to Bumblebee and says; "Bring him back to his vehicle," he turns to Arcee and says, "Once we retrieve Jack we will contact the local hospital. I'm sure they haven't harmed Jack," Optimus reassured Arcee.

"Then let's go save him!" Arcee spoke in anger before transforming and riding towards the warehouse with Bulkhead following as quickly as possible.

Optimus waits for Bumblebee as he contacts the Autobot Outpost, "Agent Fowler. Drive has been taken by Knockout and Breakdown. Arcee and Bulkhead are in pursuit. Agent Fowler the human known as Vince is currently unconscious inside Bumblebee."

On the radio Optimus hears Raf sigh before he says, "I'll get the interior cleaning kit." Optimus could hear Starfire rushing in the background.

"Optimus, I am detecting two Decepticon Signals in the warehouse west of you," Ratchet spoke over the comms.

"Arcee and Bulkhead are in pursuit," Optimus replied as Bumblebee arrived and opened his passenger door that Miko pushed Vince out from. Optimus looked at Vince and notices a new bruise on his cheek, before looking to Miko to see her blushing and angry.

"Prick," Miko mutters as she crosses her before looking around before spotting Optimus and asking, "Where's Jack?"

Europe-Lupin Castle.

Mashin Chaser smashes through the front doors of the castle, to reveal an entry hall void of life just an old painting of a young couple, a hundred years ago, the male of European decent with brown hair and deep blue eyes, wearing a white suit and top hat. The woman is of Asian descent with brown eyes and black hair, wearing a pink kimono with a flower design. The plaque on the picture says, Krieger Lupin and Hoseki Lupin with the date 1894.

Next to the portrait was an old black and white photo of the couple only much older with a young pre-teen between them, the picture dated 1919. The teenagers face was scratched off in the picture.

Mashin Chaser stepped through the hall of the dark castle towards an orange light at the end of the hall, walking past many different pictures some more with the faces' scratched off for some pictures of a man of different ages wearing a white suit.

Mashin Chaser reached the end of the hall to find a room almost completely empty except for a fire place and a red velvet chair facing the fire place. In the back ground old soothing music can be heard from a hidden source.

"It is rude to barge into someone else's home," the man in the chair says before he stands up. The man reveals himself to be wearing a white suit, black cape and white top hat. His face is covered with a white porcelain face mask that conceals most of his face. "From the looks of you, your here for me," he then pulls out a gun device like Chaser's only gold and covered in jewels.

He expects Mashin Chaser to respond instead Mashin Chaser raised his spider shield and charged the white dressed man. The man spins around Mashin Chaser before pushing on the barrel of the gun. The man then shouts, "Henshin!" and launches multiple coloured large gems before they burst around the room and create black and gold armour on the man's body. –Lupin- is exclaimed from the gun, as a crimson body suit appears under the armour. (For a better image of KR Lupin, search Kamen Rider Lupin.)

Mashin Chaser charges Lupin and forces him to use his Lupin Gunner to deflect the shield before punching Mashin Chaser in the chest. The effect of the punch was Mashin Chaser being unaffected from the attack. They both appear to pause and look at each other before Mashin Chaser raises his left hand and punches Lupin out of the castle the way he entered the castle.

Lupin lands outside and says, "I'm too old for this," he then begins to raise to his feet as Mashin Chaser returns with his shield in whip form. Lupin catches a gold bladed Shift Car and inserts it into his gun.

-Lupin Blade- Mashin Chaser goes to disarm Lupin, but Lupin deflected the snake whip with his blade and then tries to end the fight by catching him in a confinement field that looks like old film reels from old movies. Lupin presses down the barrel of his gun to end the fight. –Ultimate Lupin Blade- the blade begins to glow gold as he charges Mashin Chaser but is stopped by Mashin Chaser breaking out the confinement trap to stab him in the chest launching him back where he lands on his stomach.

Lupin transforms back into his human form where his mask falls off to reveal the robotic Roidmude skull underneath fake skin. The Lupin Gunner just out of his reach as he tries to reach it. Mashin Chase steps next to the damaged Lupin and flips him over to reveal Lupin's chest covered in attempted repairs.

Lupin grunted and says, "Hurry up and kill me you drone!"

Mashin Chaser then speaks, "Objective: Capture Ultimate Thief Lupin and equipment: Alive," Mashin Chaser grabs Lupins throat and begins his trek back towards MECH's temporary base.

In the window above the main entrance a woman of Asian descent wearing a black gothic ballerina clothes looks towards Mashin Chaser as he leaves with Lupin. Behind her the Bartender from the Village who says, "We are going to need to find a new hiding place now," as he watches Mashin Chaser take Lupin to the woman who appear to be even more saddened.

Jasper-Abandoned Warehouse.

Knockout is sitting on Tridoron as he continues to hold a struggling Drive. Knockout then appears to look closely at Drive as he uses his other hand to stroke his chin. Knockout then says, "I must say, your armour and technology is impressive."

Drive continues to struggle as he replies, "Let me go and I'll show you what I can do!" and tries to kick Knockout's arm but missed.

Knockout chuckles and says, "Well I like the colour," in honesty.

Drive then stops struggling and asks, "I have to know, did you know that the model car you choose was designed for females?" shocking Knockout.

"What?" Knockout says in shock.

"Well, clearly you didn't do your research," Drive spoke, "I mean your partner has a form that gives him speed on all terrains while also giving him added strength when needed. You just appear to have chosen a form you thought was fast."

Knockout hums and says, "I was on the 'continent' of Europe, I believe, I chose this form at the time because we hadn't get in contact with Screamy," causing Drive to laugh and look up to see Arcee on the roof.

Drive then looks back to Knockout and says, "From what the bots told me, your species can change your alt form at will, you just need to find a replacement."

Knockout puts Drive down on a crate next to him and says, "Normally I would change my form constantly but Starscream set up a firewall on the Decepticon mainframe to ensure I can't change my form whenever I find a new form. You human have impressive designs for land vehicles," he then looks to Tridoron under him and finishes by asking, "What speeds can this car achieve?"

Drive shrugs and says, "Don't know haven't gone top speed yet. Heads up," Drive finishes as Arcee swings from the roof and kicks Knockout in the face.

Arcee lands next to Drive and flips Tridoron onto its six wheels with her foot. She then shouts at Drive, "Get out of here!" before she is hit to the side by Breakdown hits her with his hammer. Drive gestures his right hand towards Tridoron that launched the door gun to him that he uses to shoot Breakdown before he can finish off Arcee. The attack only acted as a distraction before Bulkhead jumps through a window an punches Breakdown.

Knockout then recovers and glares at Drive as Drive aims at him as Knockout says, "I strongly dislike you at the moment."

"Well my fellow car enthusiast," Drive replies, "You are in the middle of a war," he finishes sagely.

Knockout eyes widened before he smirks and says, "You humans are starting to get interesting," then before Knockout could continue talking, Optimus smashes his way into the warehouse with Bumblebee following. Knockout then shouts to his partner, Breakdown we are leaving," as he jumps out the window Bulkhead smashed through.

Breakdown gives a mocking wave before transforming and smashing his way through a support beam of the roof, forcing the Autobots to retreat with Drive and Tridoron that is still in type Technic.

They all reach outside with where Optimus transforms and looks to Drive, who was breathing heavily with his hands on his knees. Bumblebee's driver side door opens to reveal Miko who runs out to help Drive. Optimus then says, "Jack I understand you wished to help," before he could go any further Miko interrupted.

"Jack, was busy saving Vince from knockout, while Bee and myself got Vince out of there," Miko spoke for Jack's innocence.

Behind Drive, Tridoron tries to change forms but appears to be stuck before Krim speaks, "Ratchet, we need a Ground Bridge and your workshop, Tridoron needs repairs," and over the radio. Krim then asks, "Tidoron needs a tow."

Optimus nods as Bulkhead lifts Tridoron through the Ground Bridge and is quickly followed by the rest of the Autobots.

Nemisis-Decepticon Warship bridge.

Starscream faced the main entrance to the bridge with Soundwave next to him. Knockout and Breakdown enters the bridge and Starscream shouts, "Knockout, you have gone against my orders for the last time."

Knockout shrugged and says, "Well in my defence, I discovered the Autobots have a new ally. With technology comparable to ours," as the two walked towards Starscream.

"Then you can give your report to Soundwave after your punishment," Starscream spoke, "Don't worry it will be purely cosmetic," and reaches to Knockout with his clawed fingers.

"No," Knockout began to panic before finally shouting, "NOOOOO!" as the sound of metal scraping.

End of Chapter five

(If you are reading this section then you read the story. Now in my defence Siera and Vince get maybe one other mention besides the first couple episodes in the show they never really showed up again.

Jack learnt a dark secret that changed his view of his attraction to Siera while Vince is jealous Jack when Siera takes an interest in Jack. The reason it is a plot point is because it is a lesson learned by Jack, that appearances can be deceiving.

Please review and comment, and feel free to complain that I didn't do a character justice. So until next time. Beware the Wraith.)
