The Kamen Rider AutoBot Chapter 11
A proper chapter for the main story, but I am skipping the artificial Energon episode but it will be mentioned.
BEFORE READING THIS CHAPTER IT IS SUGGESTED THAT YOU READ, 'The Uzumaki Ghost' Chapters four through six, to get an idea of what is happening.
I Own Nothing!
:Chapter start:
AutoBot Head Quarters-A week since the Heather Field incident
Jack was sitting in the human area reading a magazine, while Raf and Starfire were enjoying some video games. Professor Stienbelt was performing maintenance on Tridoron while Miko had gone for a ride with Arcee. Miko's arguement being that it was for some girls time away from boys when in truth it was because June had taken the LupinGunner away from Miko. Jack had won it far and square from the delusional human turned Roidmude, according to June, his reprogramming may have made Lupin think that Miko was June. Apparently Miko's experience, was similar to June's first experience dealing with Lupin.
June's experience being that while other Roidmude distracted the original Drive Lupin kidnapped her and replaced her with himself to hear Drive's plans. Lupin told June that he would win the title of Kamen Rider from Drive, and if he last he would submit to justice. His plan failed due to at the time, June and Drive's relationship had been more subtle, as they hadn't realised it yet. Lupin made the mistake of flirting with Drive when they were with her father and the shift cars. The professor and the Drive at the time sent the shift cars after the disguised Lupin to find June. In the end they damaged Lupin and he escaped, only to come back a couple times in the future to aid them in battle.
Ratchet stands at his terminal idly scratching his metal bandage on his torso as he searches for any Decepticon and Roidmude signals. Bulkhead was parked outside the Jasper Hospital, while Bumblebee and Optimus were on patrol. Until recently the Autobots on Earth were running low on ENERGON until Ratchet located a Decepticon mine after going crazy on the Cybertronian version of cocaine.
Ratchet rubs his head before saying, "My head hurts and no one else is the cause."
Jack looked up from his car magazine before saying, "What do you expect, say no to drugs dude."
Ratchet glares at Jack and says, "It was synthetic Energon, not this drugs you speak of."
Jack sighs and says, "It made you faster, stronger and energetic, while causing your mental faculties and self control were diminished," he looks him in the eyes and says, "Fortunately we did not have to teach the other Bots how to perform an intervention."
Ratchet and Starfire looked to Jack before both asking at the same time, "What is an Intervention?" Starfire and Ratchet looked at one another with Starfire with a light embarrassed blush, while Ratchet then continues, "Does it have anything to do with stopping the Decepticons?"
Jack laughs while Raf iterates, "No, it is where all your friends and family as a group starts to speak with you about your behaviour and try to convince you to stop causing self harm," Raf puts his controller down and says, "It doesn't always work due to the one in question decides to be stubborn."
Ratchet growls and shakes his head while mutter, "I am not stubborn," while continuing with work on the bases computers. Ratchet was typing when he clutched his head as the proximity alarms went off, "Spark Damn it! What now?!"
The elevator opens to reveal Agent Fowler entering the Base with Goto following holding several of Fowler's documents. Goto had become Fowler's assistant due to Miko refusing to have Goto tutor Jack in fighting, which both Miko and Arcee have been handling his training and inadvertently teaching Miko.
Jack raises his magazine more as Goto walks over to the group and asks, "Where is Miko?"
Jack starts muttering, "I don't know, all Miko told me was that if I said where she is to this strange guy, I would be sleeping on the floor," he lowers his magazine as he looks at Goto for sympathy.
Goto sighs while muttering, "Damn it, Miko. Can she just get over the whole not a target thing," before growling out, "It's her grandfather's fault."
Raf then says, "You threatened to move because she was keeping a Government Secret from you because you were willing to expose. Get off your high horse," as he and Starfire returned to their game.
Goto sighs and still asks, "At least tell me she is with the big green one."
Jack frowns at his failure to use the Bots actual names before saying, "She is with Arcee," which got a relieved look from Goto before he returned to Agent Fowler.
Fowler is discussing with Ratchet, "Look I understand that you Autobots are against sharing your tech due to upsetting human development. I propose a that you participate in an advisory role for our defensive projects," he reveals a USB and says, "This is data on a stationary weapon platform that the government has been working on since that Global Freeze incident twenty years ago. It is a directed Gravity Surge designed to temporarily immobilise heavy ordinance. The power source is giving us trouble." He handed the USB to Goto who connected it to the Autobot computers.
Ratchet looked at the design before saying with a frown, "You need an expert with this technology."
"And that would be me," Steinbelts voice came from TYPE SPEED as he uses the shift cars to analyse the design before saying, "You need to reduce the concentration of Gravity Particles, it will slow the targets down but won't affect organic targets."
Fowler nods before asking, "Will it work on Decepticons?"
SteinBelt and Ratchet started talking complex equations before Ratchet says, "If they are calibrated properly the Vehicon and Arielcons will be affected due to their non diverse physical make up, but for specific Decepticons like Megatron, Soundwave or Aracnid, you would need a CNA sample."
Fowler frowns before saying, "But we would weaken them enough that you Bots will be able to arrive," Ratchet nods causing Fowler to smile before he says, "My superiors will love this."
Jack frowns before asking, "What is stopping the Government using it on the Bots?"
Fowler answers, "Considering this in non lethal and the fact that they will need to be set for each Autobot. They will be fine."
Jack sighs in acceptance before returning his focus to his magazine, while Raf walks up to the terminal and asks, "Could a handheld version be built for the bots?"
Ratchet frowns before saying, "I am afraid not Rafael, the design is for a constant beam on the intended target in this case single targets. Fortunately the design is compact and small enough that multiple can be installed around location."
"As an added bonus the reduction in concentration of Gravity Particles will extend the maximum range," Steinbelt inform before adding, "Though if a stronger drone is created, multiple of the turrets to target an individual target."
Fowler took down some notes to inform his superiors before saying, "I need to go over some of the base logistics, is there a place I can work?"
Jack spoke up, "You can use the desk that we use for homework, warning though Starfire has been using it for her artwork." Fowler walked to the desk to the side and sees a large piece of artwork that appears to be made out of macaroni and in the shape of Optimus Prime, impressing Agent Fowler. Jack returned to his reading while Goto and Raf worked on the Autobot computers leaving Starfire alone sitting in front of the paused video game. Jack raised an eyebrow before asking, "Starfire do you want to go for a drive?"
Starfire floated over and with a joyous shout says, "That would be most pleasant!" then her eyes widened when she asks, "But isn't Tridoron receiving maintenance?"
Type Speed parked next to Jack and says, "Tridoron is ready, but you will have to leave me here, I will be working on adjusting a couple of the Shift Cars."
Starfire clapped before rushing to Raf's side and says, "I will be back, Friend Jack is taking me for a drive in Tridoron."
"We'll stop at KO Burger and bring back some lunch," Jack shouts over as he walks to Tridoron with Starfire quickly following after.
Raf simply shouts, "Won't Miko be jealous?"
Jack simply shouts from Tridoron driver's side door, "We are just getting some lunch and by the time we get back you should be ready to play videogames with your girlfriend."
Raf sputtered as Jack and Starfire enter Tridoron and shoot out the base with a small burnout. Ratchet clutches his head while shouting, "DAMN TEENAGERS!" while Raf just shakes his head.
With Miko and Arcee-Otherside of Jasper
Miko was sitting on the edge of concrete retaining wall of the of the canal, at an elevated position so that she could see Jasper while Arcee was scene just out of sight from any cars that travelled by. Arcee had a conflicted look before she finally asks, "So what is the big deal with dating?"
Miko snorted in amusement before saying, "Dating is what humans do with other humans to get an idea what being with the other is like, before committing to the relationship or in most cases becoming intimate."
Arcee shrugs not really understanding what Miko was talking about before Arcee asks, "So what is the deal with you and Jack?"
Miko's face scrunches up before she says, "I guess it is like," she scratches her chin and says, "I guess it would be like when you and Jack goes for a drive. The difference is that instead of speed, it is to scratch an itch that only the other can scratch," Arcee appeared confused before Miko started to think of a way to explain it, "Like going into battle with someone you trust to watch your back or trusting them with an important secret, but closer."
Arcee frowns before shaking her head and saying, "You humans are strange," she stands and transforms into bike form before saying, "Where to next?"
Miko frowns before saying, "The post office, I ordered some stuff online that I need to pick up. Nothing too big," before putting on Jack's helmet and the two sped into town.
With the Grim Reaper-MECH Base
The Grim Reaper of the Roidmudes, walked through the underground base, past several of the regular human MECH operatives. The Grim Reaper's eyes flashed with purple energy before seizing slightly before moving to a storage room and collapsing. The Grim Reaper shook his head before his armour vanished revealing an Asian man wearing purple riding leathers filled with metal studs. (Chase from Kamen Rider Drive) He placed his hands on a bench before looking up at a small mirror. The Grim Reaper's eyes widened before asking, "What am I?" he shook his head and transformed back into his Grim Reaper's form and left the room.
The Grim Reaper walked all the way to Silas' control room and stood still waiting for Silas to speak. Silas went over his data before saying, "MECH is sending you to retrieve data on our Alien visitors from the department of Homeworld Security. Everything they have." The Grim Reaper nods before leaving.
Decepticon Warship-Med Lab
Knockout was working on research on the local forms of energy, and had a very interesting theory on the uses of solar energy. Knockout had constructed a small solar collection device, that was able to power a ground bridge portal and succeeded, sending the Vehicon to the moon. Knockout realised his mistake, the Energy overloaded the system and turning the Ground Bridge into a limited SpaceBridge. Knockout sighs as he stares at his finished prototype and sighs sadly. Knockout had shown Megatron the design which Megatron had shouted at him, about spending his time on useless projects.
Knockout places the prototype in his safe next to the Synthetic Energon and a couple car parts that he had acquired during his time on Earth. Breakdown enters the Med Lab and says, "Hey Knockout, Megatron is sending us to scout for Energon at some of the old mines."
Knockout sighs before saying, "Energon this! Energon that! Am I the only one that thinks maybe we don't need the damn stuff for everything!"
Breakdown flinches before saying, "What do you suggest then, we drink that ocean water stuff?"
"No, I mean," he sighs in annoyance before saying, "We have enough energy to power the ship for a local solar cycle, what if we could increase that time limit? Power the ship extra systems with alternate forms of energy then we won't have to deal with resupplying our whole supply of Energon every ten planetary cycles."
Breakdown frowns being unable to think on how that would affect the war and just says, "Come on before Megatron gets madder," before pulling Knockout out of his lab and to the bridge where SoundWave sends them to the surface.
With Jack and Starfire-Jasper Nevada.
Tridoron drove through Jasper, with Jack behind the wheel and Starfire enjoying the drive through the town of Jasper. Normally she would be cuddling with Raf in the back of Bumblebee and be too distracted to look out the window during the drive. Starfire continued to enjoy herself before asking, "So how is your relationship with Miko progressing?"
Jack lost control for a second before asking, "What brought this on?"
Starfire struggled to find the right words before asking, "You and Miko are courting, is this not the case?" Jack struggles to answer before Starfire says, "I wish to understand Human Courting Rituals to ensure that Raf will be comfortable during my first mating ritual."
Jack frowns before saying, "I guess the best options for you and Raf would be some simple dates, I mean rituals. Like a basket of food to each on a blanket as you watch the sun set. Perhaps going to see a movie together where you exchange languages in the dark."
"Does Raf know other languages that I could learn?" Starfire questioned.
Jack smirks as they reach a red light, "No, I meant kissing and making out."
"Oh, yes Raf and myself enjoy the kissing alot," Starfire replies before asking, "Could you teach me some methods of human mating."
The light turned green and Tridoron did not move, while Jack says, "I cannot," Jack then gained a Miko like smirk before saying, "The best way to learn is to do and I am sure that Raf would be willing to help you," Tridoron sped forward before Jack continues to say, "But you will need to surprise him for him to help you. Share a bed with Raf and when he has fallen asleep explore him and yourself and when he wakes up explain to him what you are doing and then go a bit faster."
Starfire frowns before asking, "Miko mentioned ropes, what does threaded weaves relate to mating rituals?"
Jack sighs and says, "Maybe when you are older."
Their conversation was halted as they reach KO Burger, where they see Vince and his crew hanging out eating the burgers. Jack pulled Tridoron through the Drive thru where they order several burgers to go. Once they received their order Tridoron drove towards the exit of the Drive thru only to find Vince's car had been moved to block the exit. Jack sighs while Vince walks up to his window.
Jack lowered the window slightly as Vince says, "There is a toll to pass," gesturing for Jack to hand him money.
Jack glares at Vince while Starfire asks, "What is a toll?"
"You pay money to get pass," Jack answered before saying, "Vince her is trying to force me to hand him money so that we can leave," Justice Hunter and Massive Monster beeped on the dash before Jack says, "Move your car Vince before I move it."
Vince glares at Jack before pulling out a crowbar and attempting to smash the windshield of Tridoron only for the crowbar to bend heavily. Vince stared at the bent crowbar as Tridoron starts to burn out while Massive Monster jumped out of Tridoron and drove under Vince's car before flipping the vehicle onto its side and out of the way, allowing Tridoron to drive away. Vince shouts, "Run them off the road!" his crew rushed to their cars on the other side of KO Burger to chase after Tridoron only for Tridoron to have outrun them before they could even start their cars.
Jack sighs before saying, "Vince is an idiot," they continue to drive out of Jasper.
Starfire comments, "What exactly does his intelligence have to do with what just happened?"
Jack simply says, "Vince is a creep who believes he is the best and the criminal mastermind of Jasper. His mistake was that this is Jasper, the only crimes that happen out here is speeding and all those minor crimes." The rest of their journey was silent for five minutes when they reach the Autobot Outpost. It was when they were in eye sight of the entrance that they saw Arcee and Miko arriving at the base with Miko holding a smallish package enter the base.
Starfire says, "Now I can ask Miko for the advice on the mating rituals," causing Jack to shake his head.
They drive through the tunnel into the Autobot outpost where Jack parked Tridoron in its' charger before Jack and Starfire carried the food up to the human area. Jack then says aloud, "Sorry we are a bit late, Starfire and I had to deal with Vince and his crew, tried to have me pay money to exit a Drive thru. Someone needs to deal with him. Agent Fowler, any suggestions?"
Agent Fowler looked up revealing he was wearing a pair of glasses simply says, "I can have a talk with his parents and see where I go from there. I will wait for Bulkhead to get her to do it."
Miko after stashing her package into her bag, revealing that it did not really fit, simply says, "Why not use Bumblebee or Arcee?"
Folwer was silent before saying, "Bulkhead is the most believable to be a Government vehicle," with Miko accepting the answer as she takes a burger and starts eating.
Jack looked at Arcee and asks, "How was your girl time?"
Arcee frowns before saying, "Miko explained some of those Human relationship details I was unclear on," getting Jack to sigh while Miko just blushed.
Jack sighs before saying to Miko, "You aswell?" Miko nods in embarrassment as Jack continues, "Everyone asking us questions that we don't have all the answers. I am hungry," he takes a burger and starts eating. Miko joins him on the couch while Starfire joins Raf.
An hour later when Bumblebee and Optimus returned, Ratchet spoke up, "I have detected a Roidmude signal and a Decepticon signal."
Optimus and Jack rushed over and asks at the same time, "Where are they?"
Ratchet typed a series of commands and says, "The Roidmude is a single entity driving towards Fowler's base of operations outside of our base. The Decepticon signal is located in an abandoned Energon Mine."
Arcee spoke, "Probably Megatron ordered his troops to investigate all the mines after we saw him and Starscream in that other abandoned mine."
Jack frowns before saying, "I should investigate that Roidmude signature."
Optimus frowns before agreeing while saying, "Yes, Jackson should investigate the Roidmude, Arcee go with him. Bumblebee and Bulkhead will go with me to investigate the Decepticon signal."
Arcee frowns at this but before she could comment, "Perhaps Arcee should go with you, while I take Starfire. Arcee is better equipped to handle Cons, Roidmude could attack a civilian area where Arcee can't interfere due to you needing to stay a secret."
Optimus nods before saying, "Very well, Autobots we will investigate the Decepticon signal while Jackson handles the Roidmude."
Arcee looks to Jack and he gives her a thumbs up. Arcee simply says, "You better come back without a scratch, Jack, your mother would scrap me you don't," Jack simply nods as the Autobots use the GroundBridge to travel to the other side of the planet.
Ratchet deactivated the Ground Bridge while SteinBelt was aided to Jack by Starfire. Jack thanked her as he placed the Drive Driver around his waist. With Type Speed in hand he heads down towards Tridoron while Miko shouts down, "Mind if I come with?"
Jack thought on this before asking SteinBelt, "Gramps could you set up a quick way for Miko to watch?" His answer came in the form of Type Wild being parked on the coffee table in the human area before a large screen appeared in thin air so that Miko could watch whatever Jack saw as Drive. Starfire activated her armour which caused another screen to appear with her view. Miko whooped in excitement at the first person views she was going to get while Jack Transformed with a simple, "Henshin," turning him into Drive Type Speed. Drive and Starfire enter Tridoron as Ratchet activates the Ground Bridge to the new location for Tridoron to drive through the GB Portal.
Goto looked to Miko where she pulled out a bag of chips before saying, "This is not entertainment you know."
"I know it is why Jack got me front row seats!" Miko shouts in annoyance, "It was this or I sit in Tridoron while he was distracted. Now shut it, Raf's girlfriend is on!" Raf blushed while he moved himself so that he could watch while working on his laptop.
Texas-Five minutes Prior
The Grim Reaper drove along the highway as his head twitches and more sparks occur in his eyes before he transforms back into his human form and stops to look at his human form's hand. He shook his head before transforming back and proceeding to return on his journey never noticing that the device that shielded his Roidmude signature was failing. The Grim Reaper rode into the small town that was actually a government facility that was filled with retired government agents, soldiers and their families, while local law enforcement were secret service, such towns were littered around the country in the event of nuclear weapons or if war broke out, ensuring that competent replacements and soldiers can be found to protect the country. Unfortunately for Agent Fowler this meant that his division was understaffed at this facility. So as the Grim Reaper of the Roidmudes travelled through town there was no warning for those in the facility.
The Grim Reaper drove past a cafe where an Asian man wearing green, with red hair and glass, while covering his mouth with a hankerchief enjoyed an espresso. The man spotted the purple armoured individual as the Grim Reaper drove towards the only other government facility besides the SHIELD facility at the other side of town.
Doctor Ceribus frowns before saying, "Chase?" he pays for his espresso before chasing after the Grim Reaper. Unfortunately, his being on foot was not the best method to chase the Grim Reaper, but he stopped when he heard the familiar noise of Tridoron's engine shoot past. "Drive?" Doctor Ceribus frowns before increasing his pace.
The Grim Reaper reaches the small office building to find that it appeared to be empty, as he un-straddled his bike and started to slowly enter the facility. The people that had been here were warned five minutes prior due to Agent Fowler calling ahead ten minutes ago, allowing for the five people who work there to get out and delete any evidence that could cause problems, which was about only the details relating to the human's related to the bots, nothing about said bots, Drive or anything truly Alien.
The Grim Reaper froze due to the purple sparks before shaking his head proceeding forward only to stop when he heard Tridoron reach the facility and screeched to a halt. Drive steps out before Starfire. Starfire looked around and asks, "Where is everyone?"
Drive straighten ups his wrist brace and says, "They probably evacuated," he looks to The Grim Reaper and says, "Make sure that no one gets in the way of battle," Starfire nods before standing back. The Grim Reaper faces Drive as he steps around Tridoron and shouts, "What are you doing here? Grim Reaper?"
The Grim Reaper's eyes spark with purple electricity causing the Grim Reaper pain as he clutched his head. His eyes stopped sparking before he placed the Spider Core into his gun. –TUNE SPIDER- creating a large bladed weapon on the gun arm before he charged forward to attack Drive. Drive blocked with his HandleSword and proceeded to knee the Reaper in his side. The Grim Reaper then fired from his Gun knocking Drives sword from his hand and swung at Drive who jumped back into a roll to avoid the swing. Drive looks to where his sword ended up before summoning Max Flare but before Drive could catch the shift car, The Grim Reaper tackled him back before snatching the Shift Car from the air and inserting it into his gun. –TUNE- was spoken in a dark tone while the Grim Reaper's weapon became red hot as he attacked Drive.
The Grim Reaper went in for the kill after knocking Drive to the ground, only to freeze in place before screaming in intense pain before dropping his weapon and his transformation failing.
Doctor Ceribus watched the interaction while saying, "Chase's stability is failing being forced to choose between without having the choice to begin with," Doctor Ceribus fixed his glasses reveal a brain styled ring and an intense frown. He raised his right hand revealing a strange green fluid coming from the tip before saying, "Maybe a dash of free will, will solve the problem," he flung the fluid like a booger that landed on The Grim Reaper's back.
The Grim Reaper spasmmed before asking, "What am I doing?" before the purple energy sparked with green energy. The Grim Reaper screamed out in pain before transforming back into Chase while falling to his knees and whispering, "Where am I?" Drive frowns before stepping towards Chase.
"What is going on?" SteinBelt struggled to comprehend what was happening, before Scorpion arrived and back handed Drive into Tridoron.
Scorpion took Chase under his arm while saying, "Next time Drive, you won't be lucky."
Doctor Ceribus looks one final time before walking away past Starfire as she quickly flew back to Tridoron. Drive stands as Starfire reaches him, where she asks, "Where is the Grim Reaper?"
Steinbelt answers with, "Chase may still be there."
Starfire frowns before Drive says, "Then we need to make a call," when we get back to base.
Starfire then asks, "What should we do with this 'Chase's' dark motorcycle?" that got Drive to suddenly turn to the Reaper's bike before a GB portal opened and Miko was running through with Jack's helmet before leaping onto the bike shouting "DIBS!"
Drive stared at her before saying, "Well that is sorted," He placed his right hand to his helmet while saying, "Ratchet need a portal," A GB portal was opened before Tridoron towed the bike through the portal back to the Autobot Outpost.
With Knockout and Breakdown-That moment
Knockout and Breakdown had walked through the abandoned tunnels of the Decepticon Mine. Knockout was using a small terminal to scan for Energon while Knockout was complaining, "Seriously, why can't we look into different methods to sustain our technology. He doesn't complain about my research with that synthetic Energon sample. Why can't we get an advantage using human technology, that doesn't blow scrap up!?"
What the two did not know was that Arcee and Optimus was above them in the chamber above them listening in on them. They were both conflicted at this, on one side Megatron was being a stubborn jerk but one of his units have apparently found a way to actually finding another method of generating power alternative to Energon.
Breakdown simply ignores Knockout while using his own terminal and says, "I am detecting what I think is Energon. What do you think?"
Knockout frowns before saying, "I did not think that Starscream or Megatron came here with Dark Energon," he looks around before finding a crevice with a slight purple glow. After a small amount of digging Knockout pulled out a glass container and tweezers and removed the single tiny sliver of Dark Energon from the ground and into the sealed container. Knockout frowns before saying, "Why is this here?" Knockout looks at Breakdown and sees Bulkhead and Bumblebee sneaking up on them silently. Knockout looks back down and says, "For an oversized bot, that Bulkhead is rather sneaky," Breakdown smirks before turning his hand into a hammer and smashing a large boulder towards the two Autobots. Knockout transforms and as he shoots towards the tunnel out, Knockout shouts, "I am not in the mood, so let's go!" Breakdown growls before transforming and driving away.
Bulkhead recovers from the boulder as Arcee and Optimus reached them and Optimus says, "It appears that Megatron is fixated on Energon."
Arcee then questions, "If he really found a way to use other energies, what would that mean for the Decepticons?"
Optimus frowns before saying, "It could end the war peacefully."
Bulkhead frowns before saying, "Then Knockout just became a wanted commodity. Great," he ended with sarcasm.
Optimus contacted Ratchet, "Ratchet we are in need of a Ground Bridge," in response a GB portal opened allowing them to return to base and the portal closes before HummingBird could reach the portal. HummingBird stomped its foot before speeding away.
Autobot Outpost-as the Autobots return.
The Autobots arrive to find Miko acting like she was driving the Grim Reaper's bike at high speed, making the sound effects with her mouth, while the shift cars added a back drop and the different driving affects while Raf records Miko. Drive shakes his head as he waits for them to finish, while Starfire was behind the bike as she lifted the bike while turning the bike on its axis. The bots were frozen before Arcee finally asks, "What the scrap?"
Ratchet answered, "Miko saw the Grim Reaper retreat without his vehicle and shouted for me to open the Ground Bridge for her to get it. But we have sorted out that Miko can't take the Vehicle out until after we have the vehicle analysed for any tracking device before letting it leave the signal shielding of the base."
Drive then says, "She has made it clear that she was to get some pictures of herself racing it before Mom came back to the base. If she can't do it out the base, she gets a full montage," shaking his head. Drive shakes his head while Arcee pats his shoulder in sympathy.
Bulkhead shook his head in confusion before muttering, "First Knockout has problems with the Decepticons and now Miko is having fun with confiscated tech. Today is weird."
Miko stops making the motorcycle noises when she asks, "Hey Belt-San after you have gone over this ride, can I have it?"
Drive, Ratchet, Arcee and Optimus frowns as they place their hands in their chins in thought before StienBelt simply says, "The Proto bike is a dangerous weapon," Miko frowns before SteinBelt adds, "When Chase is using it. I will have to remove the auto summon featu-" Steinbelt stops talking before he shouts, "OF COURSE. If we remove the auto tracker from the bike we can track Chase," the shift cars raced over to the bike and started to disassemble the handlebars and removed a small computer circuit board. SteinBelt then says, "Rafael, I require your assistance."
Raf rushed over while Drive asks, "We still need to make that call," Drive pulls out Jack's Cell phone before saying, "We will be on the roof," they took the elevator to the roof as Jack dialled a number. "Pick up you damn ghost."
"Hello? Look I don't know how you got this number but," The voice was interrupted by Drive.
"Menma! It me Jack," Drive says before asking, "Did your friends do something to the Grim Reaper that captured them?"
On the phone Menma was silent until he answered with, "Well Will and Jupiter have this thing with anything that runs on AC and DC. Makes calculators talk with those with simular abilities."
"Any idea what it could do to something with advanced AI?" Drive questions.
"No idea, haven't had that sort of thing happen," Menma says while distracted, Drive hears something that sounds like kissing, "Look I am busy at the moment, was there anything else?"
"Well careful next time you see the Grim Reaper, he may be reverting to his original programming type of deal," Drive says, "I will tell Naruto next chance I see him."
"Well make sure that you call for a proper problem and remember that you will need to give me a lift in the event that you really need help," Menma hanged up the call as Drive hears a loud moan in the background.
SteinBelt frowns before saying, "It appears that your friend is enjoying himself with how irate you made him."
Drive shakes his head before saying, "Ever since you woke up, my life has doubled in crazy," Drive sighs thinking that not even the Bots have been less crazy then his family problems. Drive shakes his head as he walks back to the Elevator.
Decepticon Warship-An hour later
Knockout with an annoyed look on his face as Breakdown gave the report to Megatron, Soundwave and Starscream, "When we got to the mine, there was minisule readings of Energon, but we found that it wasn't Energon."
Megatron was confused and asks, "What was it?" with a suspicious look.
Knockout simply says with sarcasm, "How about what you want more than life itself," he then handed Megatron the sample of Dark Energon. Knockout then walked away from the bridge in annoyed anger.
"What is wrong with him, did you forget to use the 'special' polish?" Starscream taunted with poor humour.
Breakdown sighs and says, "It is just pissed that his invention was written off when it worked," shutting Starscream up. Breakdown turned to Megatron and says, "It shouldn't affect his work, my lord."
Megatron growls and says, "He is a fool for wasting time that could be better used for his work for the Decepticon cause," he looks at the small sample of Dark Energon with an interested look before saying, "Perhaps a project that will interest him, while also proving beneficial," and leaves the bridge with SoundWave. The leader of the Decepticons reached the Med Bay and says, "Knockout, I have a project for you."
Knockout was typing away at the terminal while asking, "Will it affect my progress with the Synthetic Energon Project?"
"I want to know while a piece of Dark Energon was located in a mine that was previously emptied of Energon," Megatron started as he examined the vial and finishes with, "I am giving you this sample for study purposes," he places the vial on the bench before saying, "Perhaps you could discover a way for the Synthetic Energon to be completed."
Megatron and SoundWave left the Med Bay before Knockout just growls in slight anger before saying, "They want to know why Dark Energon started showing up on Earth, Now," he takes the vial and places it in the molecular scanner and went started comparing it to samples of Earth elements and frowns, "Why does this have simular chemecals? And something else that looks familiar," Knockout then starts comparing the sample to other elements in the Decepticon database until he found what he was looking for and says, "Well that is not good."
MECH Facility-twenty four hours later
Chase was laying down topless on a metal morgue bed strapped down and unresponsive with Scorpion leaning on a wall. Eventually a screen revealed itself where the image of Professor Banno was revealed as Silas and Frost enter the room. Silas frowns before shouting, "What happened the weapon?"
Scorpion simply says, "Your plan to have the Reaper to get the location of Drive and the alien visitors, was disrupted by your weapon malfunctioning."
Frost spoke, "We knew this was a possibility," he turned to Silas and says, "Prototype should remain deactivated until the reprogramming can be repaired and adjusted."
Scorpion frowns before appearing to smirk and says, "Well I guess you need a new Grim Reaper? To replace your broken weapon."
Silas frowns before nodding in agreement and saying, "Scorpion, you are our new Grim Reaper. Your lack of a human form will not be an issue," Scorpion frowns at this before Silas finishes with, "Your first task is to locate the bases of the visitors."
Scorpion snorts before saying, "Really?" Scorpion laughs before saying, "after what their tech did to us, HummingBird, Mole and myself has been looking for more between missions."
HummingBird then arrived and says, "They got away from me with that portal thingy they have," HummingBird started tapping its' foot rapidly before saying, "They were in some strange mine for giants or something."
Silas smirks at this before asking, "Then what is it they are mining on Earth?"
:End of Chapter Eleven:
Well this increases the plot of the story while keeping with the theme.
To clarify a couple things, Jack and Mikos' relationship, it is more a friends with benefits deal, while Raf and Starfire are in a relationship where Starfire wants to be more intimate.
Please review and comment, but as Always BEWARE THE WRAITH.
