The Autobot Kamen Rider: Chapter Nine

(Previously Silus Discovered Drive's new secret identity, June and Goto learn about Drive, Autobots and Decepticons.

I own nothing!)

:Chapter Nine Start:

Jasper High School-Two weeks week after engaging MECH at the Construction Storage yard.

Miko stared at the clock in the final moments before Summer Vacation, tapping her heel on the ground. Jack looked at her in his peripheral vision just shaking his head, with a smile as he knew why she was so excited, they were planning a short camping trip by themselves, without the Bots, parents, friends, Grandfathers trapped in belts. So basically a nice weekend without being attacked by Roidmudes or Decepticons. Though they had told Ratchet where they could be found in an emergency. Krim would go with them but would stay in Tridoron.

Raf and Starfire also had plans but they were going to help Ratchet upgrade and repair the Autobot Base. While the majority of the Autobots would be patrolling for Energon for the entire weekend, in different locations on the planet.

June was handling Jack and Mikos' relationship really well but dealt with the Bots in a manner of a concerned parent, who was unsure about their children's friends. Goto only met the Bots a week later, when Fowler met with him after the attack, he requested to meet with the bots. The result was not pleasant as he had hoped, Miko was there, and when she saw him she got Bulkhead to take her for a patrol mission, and a apparently she had remained silent for the entire drive.

Now many people would question why a girl like Miko would willingly go camping, the reason is because her only other options, are Knockout Burger, a mall filled with other teenagers, the Autobot base or staying home.

Knockout Burger: Every time Jack enters the place, his former boss would shout that he was late before 'firing' him again.

The Mall: filled with people from their school, mainly with Seras and Vinces' groups gossiping and participating in criminal offense, normally having people who weren't in their individual groups take the blame.

The Autobot Base: Well thats where they always go, before leaving when Miko sees Goto.

The Darby House: Arcee would have to be in the house with them, or Bulkhead on the curb, where June would interrupt them.

So with a stop to the store on the way, they would be all set to a nice night to themselves.

-RIIIIING!- the bell goes off and Miko is gone, causing Jack to shake his head and collect Miko's school books and summer homework.

Darby Residence-Night

June returns home after her shift at the hospital was over. She parks her car in the drive way and opens the Garage to see Arcee in bike form guarding her home. June looked to Arcee before closing the Garage with her bag on her arm, she asks, "So is Jack and Miko here?" her tone was awkward as she felt ridicules talking to a motorcycle.

"No," Arcee spoke before clearing her throat, "Optimus felt that one of us should be here," she then sighs and says, "And at the hospital. We are sorry for bringing you into this."

June sighs and says, "Jack is definitely his father. Let me guess the day you met my son he sat on you?" Arcee hummed in agreement, "It's how I met his father," she leaned on the wall and continued, "Before Tridoron, Drive's mode of transport was an old red roadster. I had gone into an apartment with the Drive Driver, let's just say that I failed to become drive and got punched out of the building where I saw Micheal, examining the roadster before he saw me bruised on the ground. Dad had slid to Mike's feet, along with the shift brace."

"Let me guess, he transformed and saved you," Arcee spoke, "Same thing happened when those Roidmudes show up at KO burger. He transformed and took them down."

June laughed and says, "That is about right," she then sighs and asks, "Just what is going on with Miko's family?"

Autobot Outpost Omega One-That same time.

Ratchet was annoyed, his reason was a certain red headed alien teenage girl who discovered that he knows where Jack and Miko went for their weekend, camping trip. Starfire would distract him as he works on scanning for Energon, by asking him where they were. Raf had been supportive as ever by distracting her when he could, mainly by convincing her to enjoy a random website he found that she would enjoy. But it became difficult each time she remembered Jack and Mikos' absence. When they had managed to distract the girl, Star helped with heavy lifting as Ratchet upgraded the hardware in the terminals, while Raf wrote new lines of code to calibrate the systems.

Raf typed on the terminal computer as Starfire was drawn to the video of a cat tangled in a ball of yarn. To him the code was simple, to others it was three hundred lines of text every five minutes, all to allow for the Autobots to find MECH and Roidmude communications. A task that has been proving impossible with every hour spent. After several hours, challenging himself, he groaned in annoyance while pinched the bridge of his nose. It was enough to get Starfire to hug his head from behind, and has Raf lay his head on her chest. Starfire asks, "Whats wrong friend Raf? Is the computer being the mean?"

Raf sighs and gets comfortable and says, "So far, even with a sample of MECH hardware and Roidmude software, I can't find out the signals I am looking for."

Starfire pouted in thought then asks, "Then why not ask, friend Krim Steinbelt?"

Raf sighs and says, "Well, he is not here at the moment," he closes his eyes and tries to think of something else, before he mutters, "Unless I could access a system that they have accessed."

"Like Miko's elder's building support?" Starfire commented, before Raf's eyes went wide and he started hacking into the internet.

"What was its name," Raf muttered while the sound of a motorcycle was heard coming through the secret tunnel. Who they saw was not who they were expecting. They saw Goto riding his Ridevendor into the base.

Goto parked near Tridoron's charging station and removed his helmet. Goto looked around before spotting Ratchet and asking, "Have you seen Miko, Jack or professor Steinbelt?"

Ratchet sighs when Starfire started floating in front of his face and he says, "Yes, but I have sworn to secrecy unless contacted by the aforementioned."

Starfire had Ratchet's face armour in hand, when he refused to answer, and Starfire continued to question the medical bot, who had to steady himself when she shook his head.

Raf sighs and goes back to his computer and starts looking for a way to distract her when suddenly he had an idea, "Hey Starfire, I have a way for you to find them," Starfire went to him so fast you could claim it was faster than light, "There is a website called Google Maps, with satellite images of the Earth," he showed her the map of Jasper. Raf then pointed at the circle with arrows, "clicking on the arrows will allow you to find them." Starfire squealed in joy and took the laptop and flew to her room.

Ratchet saw this and shouts, "Why did you do that?"

"Google barely updates the satellite map unless they have new roads to add, Starfire is looking at maps from three to four years ago," Raf answered causing Ratchet to relax. Raf went back to his hacking as he remembered the Kougami Foundation.

Goto reached the human area and sees Raf hacking into his bosses server, "Warning, you are in for a shock," Raf just raised an eyebrow.

Raf spoke, "I am searching for any signs of MECH, Roidmudes or tampering."

Goto took a seat next to him and says, "you would need a comprehensive understanding of Kougami's sever network."

"Or an unbelievable level of understanding computer code," Raf shot back, It was then he hacked into the Kougami foundation's computer system. Raf skimmed over the coding before saying, "Found it, whoever programmed this system, left a back door that clearly is used to access the encrypted severs."

Goto looked at the coding and asks, "How did that go unnoticed?"

Raf typed some added code and says, "I add a couple lines of code, that will inform us when someone tries access the system again, I will receive a message. But this type of code could be found by anyone with basic knowledge of coding could find it."

Goto looked at the code and asks, "How?"

Raf opened a webpage to the side and opened the Kougami webpage and clicked the Kougami logo at the top of the page and as a result the webpage changed into a list of links that appeared to be top secret files, lists of important locations and research data. Raf then spoke, "Well someone at the Kougami Foundation has clearly been paid off, I don't know who but clearly someone in the foundation has been ensuring all versions of the system had this link added to the system."

Goto looked at the files and clicks the link labelled BIRTH, and reads the only sentence written, "BIRTH driver developed by Doctor Maki, all technical aspects are lost with the death of the doctor." Goto sighs before he clicks another link, this one labelled as OOO, but instead of words they find a recording.

In the recording they see an oldish Japanese man in a pink suit, wearing an apron making a cake and humming the tune to 'Happy Birthday' before he looked to the camera. The man began to speak, "So you want to know about OOO, let me tell you this, it was created with desire you want it make your own, stop trying to steal what we do not have. Also don't bother with the rest of the files all you will get is a description," he placed the mixing bowl on desk and says, "And last thing I have to say is this. Stop taking the desires of others!" he then pressed a button on the remote on the table and the screen turned black.

The next twenty minutes were spent checking the other links to see everything was either simple crudely drawn pictures of the items linked with dates dating back shortly after Goto and Miko started hiding in America. Goto was busy examining the links while Starfire returned and says, "Freind Raf, I think the maps of Google are broken," She then showed Raf the picture of a younger Raf from a year ago racing cars in the water drainage ditches. Raf sighs as he was just defeated by outdated images and would spend the better part of the week end.

MECH Base-Silas Office.

Silas tapped a finger on the desk and is still annoyed at discovering that the Drive Driver was in the hands of a child. In front of him is Lupin, waiting for instructions. Silas stopped tapping his finger and says, "I have a job for you," Lupin was silent, "Steal the Drive armour."

Lupin appeared to have a concerned look on his helmeted helmet and says, "I will make an attempt but, those large alien robots and his other allies will make it extremely difficult." Lupin crossed his arms and adds, "I achieve what I can," before vanishing into crystal dust. Silas frowns as he looks to the screens with mission detail.

A week later-Autobot Outpost.

Miko was strumming away on her guitar as Jack, Raf and Starfire finishing their summer vacation homework. Miko would normally be happy playing her guitar, but Ratchet had taken her speaker and placed it in a level five energy shield that was developed to hold items like the escape pod that held the Scraplets, Ratchet wanted to see how long the field would last with a limited amount of Energon. He could have gotten away with the field being empty, but felt sadistic and placed the speaker in the field and withheld the password to use the device.

Goto was of course typing at the terminals using the system to search for Decepticons and MECH, looking for any signs of activity. The same reason why Fowler arrived a short time earlier with rudimentary reports from both the American Government and the SHEILD Intelligence Division. All basic information, previous discovered Energon Mines, sightings random locations that literally had no strategic value or even a known reason for them being there and any updates government side projects.

Arcee and Bulkhead were practicing hand to hand combat, more specifically Bulkhead held a large water tank they filled with sand, and Arcee was wailing on the container while Bulkhead grunted as he struggled to hold the impromptu punching bag.

Optimus can be seen researching possible locations for Energon detector, trying to plan for ways to detect Energon in a city filled with humans. A question that he would require aid with. Ratchet was at his terminal ensuring that Bumblebee could be reached and receive aid in the event he needs it.

Ratchet then spoke, "I am detecting a vehicle entering the hidden entrance," with that all the bots and the humanoids watching the main entrance, where they see June Darby's station wagon. June stepped out of the car and waved.

Decepticon war ship-An hour later.

Megatron watched the clouds as they travel through atmosphere of the planet. So far his commanders have been, traitorous and useless, his only competent commanders was his medic and his oldest friend from his days as a gladiator. Its times like these that have Megatron mentally shouting at himself, 'All my choices are right, it is my will.'

A Vehicon then spoke from one of the stations, "Sir, the ships sensors have detected an abnormal gravity surge, in sector 26x."

Megatron raised an eyebrow and says, "In what way would that be relevant?"

"Sir I have been working at this station for since activation and this type of gravity surge was last seen on Cybertron," The Ground Vehicon spoke with a level voice stating the facts, "More specifically," that was when Soundwave's face plate displayed the energy readings, "The Polarity Gauntlet."

Megatron nods before saying, "Soldier, what is your registration number?"

"TRP-365M2, sir," the Vehicon spoke.

"From this day forward you will be under Soundwaves command, go to Knockout for upgrades to your new role as Soundwave's right hand," Megatron decided, "Do not fail." The Vehicon saluted as Megatron added, "From this day forward you shall be known as Amplifier."

The Vehicon nods before typing a command on its station and heading towards the Med-bay. Soundwave beeped to Megatron before Breakdown came forward and volunteered for the retrieval mission. Soundwave stepped back and began to design a body for his new assistant, barely listening to Megatron insulting

Autobot Outpost Omega One-that moment.

Since June's arrival she spent her time embarrassing Jack and Miko, while Fowler continued to flirt with her. Starfire could be seen asking about different human methods of courtship. Arcee then entered the main hall with a stack of ceramic disks and called out, "Come on Jack, time for target practice."

Jack nods and heads towards Arcee before his mom spoke, "Why do you need Jack for that?" not noticing Jack holding the Doorgun.

"If I am going to teach him to shoot yeah," Arcee argued.

They continued arguing while Ratchet detected the Polarity Gauntlet, which resulted in Arcee, Bulkhead and Miko vanishing into the Ground Bridge, which almost dissolved into a an arguement between Arcee and June, until Arcee cut the communications and claiming it was just a recon mission. It would be much later when Arcee sent Miko back to base when Arachnid became involved. Once Miko had returned Jack took her out of the base in Tridoron. (Watch Metal Attraction, (S01E16) because that fight is the same except with Arachnid mentioning pets. Its a good episode.) That night when Arcee and Bulkhead had returned June had taken Arcee to the side and apologised.

Decpticon Warship-Night.

Breakdown had returned with Arachnid much to Megatron's amusement, attached to the larger Mech's back. Arachnid was seen with an annoyed look on her face as Breakdown took his sweet time getting to the Med-bay, taking the long way and even checking non essential systems, before reaching the med-bay where Arachnid sees the one thing she never expected to see.

On the other side of the Med-Bay opposite to where Megatron was hospitalised, where a purple pod glowed blue along the angled lines. It pulsed as two vertical lines were slowly filling with blue light. Arachnid then made a comment, "Never thought I would see that on, what with the amount of Energon it uses."

Knockout was seen entering the Med-Bay with four addition Energon cubes. Knockout spoke as he inserts the cubes into the pod, "Megatron decided that it was time for new blood," Knockout scanned the two before saying, "Well I have good news and bad news. The good news is I can separate the two of you."

"What is the bad news?" Breakdown questioned before Arachnid went flying of Breakdown and face first into a wall that had a device clamped to it.

"The Bad news for Arachnid," Knockout smirked, "Is that she had a larger dose of magnetism, so she will be stuck on that modified wall until she loses the magnetrons keeping her stuck. Should take a planetary cycle or seven," he pulled Breakdown to the side and the two spoke, "Soundwave's new assistant will be an interesting addition to the team, though the designs Soundwave has selected. I mean the output of the speakers alone could cause an Energon Mine to collapse on itself."

Breakdown smirks and says, "Sounds like fun," the two then left Arachnid alone. Arachnid's face was showing her annoyance as they turned the light off behind them.

Arachnid grits her teeth and says, "This is why I hate men."

Jasper, Nevada-The mall food court.

Jack and Miko were enjoying a simple meal of take out of deli sand widgies. Miko with a meat ball sub and Jack with roast beef with extra area was relatively quiet compared to a normal day, when Vince's group was nowhere near the area. Miko was talking, "What is the deal with your mother? Its like you never introduced her to your friends before."

Jack nods and says, "Well when you have lived here as long as I have, you find it very difficult to actually have a group of friends that are not jerks."

Miko nods in understanding before Vince's group entered the food court, and spots Jack and Miko. The group of fifteen teenagers arrived and went straight to the couple. Vince takes Jack's sandwedge and takes a large bite and says with a full mouth, "Why are the two of you in our turf?"

Jack looked to Vince as his skin started to gain a light red hives before he says, "Since when is a public place your turf? Besides aren't you the only gang in Jasper?" Vince continued to eat the mayo covered roll, Jack then asks, "And are you no longer physically allergic to Mayonnaise?"

At that Vince stopped before dropping the meal and slowly heading to a trash can and throwing up. Miko laughed before the two left. The entire time they failed to notice the Japanese man in a janitor's uniform with a white opera mask concealing half his face watching them, drop a gold shift car with what appeared to be a silver blade on the back that followed them at a safe distance. Lupin smirked as he made a note on a small note book.

Darby House-Thirty minutes later.

Jack parked Tridoron next to his mother Station Wagon where the two then went through the Garage to find Arcee. Miko asks, "Well how did the fight with Arachnid go?"

Arcee sighed and says, "Well Bulkhead and myself became unstuck and managed to send Breakdown and Arachnid flying and retrieved a Deception artefact and received an apology from Jack's mom. So overall highly successful day."

Jack then asks, "Where's mom?" Tridoron was then seen driving back to the base, "So she and Gramps has not spoken still?"

Arcee shook her 'headlight' and says, "No," Miko closes the garage door allowing Arcee to transform, "Krim stayed in his small lab trying to rebuild the Formula Shift car and June only spoke with Ratchet and Fowler, mainly speaking about the difference between Cybertronian and human biology. I got a better description on where new humans are built compared us and I fill I should remind the two of you to wear protection."

At that the two teenagers blushed and Miko says, "We haven't done it since the first time," before muttering, "Unfortunately," she then walks into the house with a sputtering Jack.

Once inside they hear June crouching in her room, and find her throwing items from her closet until she hears her shout, "There you are!" she pulled out an old shoe box and adds, "Hope Miko likes them."

Miko smirks and asks, "Likes what?"

June fell onto her butt and glares at Miko before she stands and leads the two to the kitchen and placing the box on the bench and says, "Back when Jack's dad was a lazy, super heroic driver, Krim made me these for when Drive couldn't been in two places at once, mainly when he was fighting and I was helping civilians during my nursing studies," she opened the box to reveal a set of black heeled shoes, with a custom silver tread that has Drive's symbol, "I would stomp and twist before kicking through steel beams and knocking back Roidmudes. Figure you could use them more than me." Directing her attention to Miko.

"SWEET!" Miko shouts before trying the shoes on.

Before Miko could use the shoes Jack shouts, "Try them tomorrow at the base, not here!"

Miko stops mid stomp before stumbling and nodding in agreement before saying, "Let's head for bed," and drags Jack towards his room.

June speaks, "Wear Protection!" and recived a loud shout of 'Mom!' from Jack, causing June to laugh as she made a cup of coffee.

That night Jack and Miko just cuddled for the night in their pyjamas totally unaware that they were being watched by Lupin who made a note and says aloud, "It appears that my one Chance to take Drive's belt I would need to have him distracted and maybe a hostage," he zoomed into Miko's face, "Maybe some implied hostility or taking what is his." He laughed loudly, "This will be fun." And he finished making his long term plan.

MECH Base-Two days later.

Silas read the report Lupin had given him and agreed to the plan, They needed a large distraction while Lupin collected a hostage turning Miko into their target. Enter had made his presence known by saying, "Well well well, You are taking the chance that something will happen that will cause Drive to investigate."

Lupin chuckled and says, "Well what did you expect, there has not been a new Kamen Rider in ten years, we should expect one soon now that Drive is back."

Silas then spoke, "So we need to be patient or make our own event. I will have people look into this plan."

Enter smirks and says, "Well I would be happy to aid in this mission, but it will need to be soon. The signal strength to my master is getting close, a few weeks at most."

Silas nods and says, "I will have a couple barrels of Energon delivered to your base in Element city," Silas then stands and looks to the screens on the wall behind him and says, "You kept your word Enter, which was expected but we need to weaken our enemies, to do that we need weapons and drivers."

Lupin lovingly stroke his Lupin-gunner and says, "That I can understand, being a rider can really show how you are better than the rest of Humanity." Lupin chuckled.

Silas smirked and says, "Then we will finally control this world."

Autobot Base Omega One-A week Later.

Raf was on his computer searching for any images pertaining to the Autobots or Decepticons, as they could lead to either sides operations, with a simple copy and hack to replace, Raf kept a copy of all the sightings while also replacing the images with troll memes, like dancing cats to straight up images of Vince embarrassing himself. Petty revenge at its fiancée.

Hours ago Jack and Miko went with Bulkhead and Arcee to explore an old Energon mine that had been abandoned before Megatron reached Earth. This time though Krim was still in the base as he and June were forced to talk with one another until Jack got back. So far they had been silent, with Krim trying small talk and failing. Questions like how her career has gone, and how Jack had been since his youth, or just asking whether she had found anyone.

Fowler had stopped a fight from occurring by that last question before speaking with June, "I heard that Jack was fired from his part time job," June sighs and nods, having spoken to her son's former boss and not accepting the deal of using her body to have Jack rehired, "I wish to hire him as an advisor, for Roidmude based incidents and wanted your permission."

June nods and asks, "What would you have him do?" her glare was frightening.

"Well he would mainly be here, acting as a direct line of contact with me in regards to the Autobots and to examine any incidents relating to Roidmudes, for example a facility that had been attacked by three Roidmudes, we asked for him and Krim to examine the location," Fowler answered honestly, "Though the second event a day later was unexpected." Fowler's eyes then widen before he opened his brief case and says, "There was another item," he takes a small box and says, "For acts of heroism and the defence of the citizens of America. I present the 'Award for Heroism' to the spouse of the man known as 'Drive' but this would be considered Top secret."

June sighs and says, "Great, another award we can show the world," Fowler was confused.

It was then that Raf shouts down to Fowler, "Fowler, I just found a Kamen Rider on the internet, the person recorded the whole fight," Fowler ran up to the human area.

They watch as a male with a blue motorcycle before fighting two strange creatures that were armed with a sword for a hand and another with a spear. The male transformed into a black and orange suit that clearly was a form of armour. The recording showed the first creatures defeat, then to the local botanical garden where the rider defeats several dozen or so lower level creatures. Folwer asks, "How old is this footage?"

Raf says, "Maybe a day, but trying to find the source has been severally difficult, Like it is being concealed," Raf hacks the website, "Well it looks like the site has been hacked, the video is gone and all information on the location is gone. I would need another incident or other recorded information. And there is nothing on Social Media outlets."

Fowler sighs and says, "I will have my contacts find the location," and made a phone call.

:End of Chapter Nine:

(So for those of you complaining of a short Chapter, I will say this, Read Chapters five and Six of 'The Uzumaki Ghost' and you will find out what happened next. As the next Chapter will be June's past with Lupin and Chase.

The next story I plan to write is going to be a Voltron Legendary Defenders and Halo crossover. The reason I recently watched seasons one through five of the Netflix cartoon and had the thought of what it would be like if the Paladins were Spartans. (;P)

Also I recently wrote a Jackie Chan Adventures and Kamen Rider crossover, 'Neutral Chi Rider' Where a new rider enters the world. Part of the 'WRAITH-Verse' so if you are interested please read it.

So please read and review without spoiling the story. And remember...

BEWARE THE WRAITH!)
