The figure landed in front of the cave and then shot forward running at high speed, this shocked the Vehicons, and they tried shooting at the figure, but he was too fast for them and dogged every shot, the figure then jumped up to one of the Vehicons and sliced it's blaster clean off with his scythe, he then ran up its arm moving his scythe into his left hand and came up to its head and punched the Vehicons head so hard it fell down to the ground, the figure then slammed his foot into the Vehicons face, smashing it to peace's.

The figure then jumped up high in the sky avoiding a blast form another Vehicon, he then came down on the Vehicon with his scythe in both hands and cut the Vehicon in two, right down the middle, and then the two peace's fell away from each other and into the ground.

The third tried to punch the figure but missed; the figure then ran up the Vehicons arm, but jumped off halfway up its arm and brought his scythe, in his right hand, above his head and brought it down, he sliced the Vehicon from its right shoulder down to its left side in seconds, the Vehicons top left half fell to the ground and the rest stayed in its 'punching the ground' position.

The figure then noticed the fourth Vehicon making a run for it towards the cave, he then ran after the last Con and within seconds, he was in front of it, the Vehicon stumbled back and brought out his blade and with one last attempt, brought its blade down on the figure.

The figure didn't move until the last second and then slashed the Vehicons blade in half with his scythe, he then jumped up and with one last attack, he sliced the Vehicons head clean off, the body fell limp on the ground with the head a few feet away.

The figure then turned to the cave and walked in, he stepped up to an Energon crystal and broke a peace off in his hand and the he started eating it, chomping away at it.

Meanwhile Arcee was getting to her feet, the sky was dark with clouds and she could hardly see, she quietly walked up to the cave with blasters ready, she was only feet away from the figure, still eating the raw Energon, then all of a sudden the figure turned round, dropping the Energon and pointing his scythe at Arcee, then the clouds parted and the moon shined down on them showing Arcee's blue armour and face, the figure saw her true form, his eye widened with shock.

He slowly lowered his scythe and looked at her "Arcee?" the figure asked, Arcee was shocked that he knew who she was "how do you know my name?" she asked still pointing her blasters at him, the figure moved his hand to his face and removed a mouth-mask, he looked up to her, his face still hidden in the hoods darkness.

"Arcee" the figure spoke again and this time his voice was clear and Arcee gasped at the voice, the figure then pulled back his hood and reviled his face.

"JACK!" Arcee shouted with happiness in her voice, she retracted her blasters and pulled her friend into a hug, it was Jack, but he had a bandage wrapped round his left eye, Arcee had tears of Energon trailing down her face.

"Arcee" Jack said in a whisper as he hugged his friend back with tears in his eyes as well "I missed you, so much" he said hugging her tighter, not wanting to let her go "I missed you too Jack" she replied also hugging him closer.

After a while they separated and she stood with him standing in her cupped hands "we've been looking everywhere for you, where have you been?" Arcee asked in a charring voice "ill explain everything latter, but first, how is everyone, how's my mom?" Jack asked wanting to know what he's missed.

"Their fine, worried about you but their fine" Arcee replied looking at him "why don't we go home, everyone's there"

Jack smiled at her "yes, I would like that, a lot" he replied in a calm voice, Arcee smiled at him and activated her com-link "Ratchet, I need a bridge" and within seconds the ground bridge appeared.

Jack put his mouth mask back on and pulled his hood up, Arcee gave him a puzzled look "lets surprise them" he said in his scrambled voice knowing what she was thinking, she smiled and lifted him up to her right shoulder, with his scythe in his right hand and his cloak still covering his body, Arcee walked into the portal and it closed behind them.

Back at Autobot base

Fowler had arrived moments ago and was talking to Optimus, June was still there and so where everyone else, there was a beeping noise from the monitor Ratchet was at and answered it "Ratchet" Arcee's voice came though the monitor "I need a bridge" she stated and Ratchet activated the ground bridge.

As everyone looked at the ground bridge they saw something on Arcee's shoulder as she walked into the base and then the bridge closed, the humans looked at the figure and held their breath because of who they thought he was.

"AAAAAAA! IT'S THE GRIM RIPER!" Miko screamed "please don't take my soul, I'm too young!" she bellowed out.

The figure smirked and so did Arcee "you always came out with the most ridicules things Miko" the figure said as he slowly removed his mouth mask "but that's one of the things I misted most about you" Jack said as his normal voice rang out through the base, he then pulled his hood back and the base was filled with gasp's "JACK!" everyone except Arcee shouted.

"Jack your back!" Raf said leaning over the railing to get a better look at his friend, but he leaned too far and fell over the edge "RAF!" everyone shouted as the small boy fell down, Jack quickly sprang into action and jumped from Arcee's shoulder, everything was a blur, and then everyone was all-struck at what they saw.

Jack was in the air holding Raf to his chest with his left hand, and out from his back where two, giant, black, bat-like, metal wings, but in-between the main parts of the wings was a beautiful, soft, warm, light-blue that flowed outwards, it was scary and at the same time breath taking, Jack slowly descended to the ground and carefully placed Raf on the ground and checked him for injuries "you okay?" Jack asked but all he got was a nod.

Jack then turned to face everyone, his cloak was now behind him and in-between his wings that are now folded-in and weren't glowing light-blue anymore, the absence of his cloak revealed the rest of his body and everyone gasped at what they saw.

Jack wasn't wearing a shirt; the back of his left arm had metal plating on it, his right hand also had metal on the back that made it look like claws and they looked like they were welded to his skin, a sharp-pointed- spike was sticking out of his right elbow, there was a metal plate on the back of his left shoulder-blade, a metal spine going down his back over his own spine, with his wings just a few inches away from his metal spine on both sides, he didn't have shoes on because his toes now had metal plating on them, making them look like claws, spikes came out of the souls of his feet, and finally, on the right side of his chest was a metal-plat, with a circle out line and a line going down the middle of it, in the middle of the metal-plat, it looked big enough to put two pairs of hands inside, he was still wearing his blue jeans, but they were a bit torn at the ends.

Junes eyes started to well up with tears, she moved closer to Jack and hugged him, crying into his shoulder, all Jack could do was hold her and speak calming words to her, Raf and Miko also gave him a hug and Fowler placed a comforting hand on his shoulder.

Optimus's spark grew heavy with grief, he was convinced it was his fault for not protecting a member of his family, he walked up to the young man with a said, apologizing face "Jack" Optimus's voice was low with grief, he stretched out a hand/servo for Jack and he gladly excepted it, he climbed on to the leaders hand/servo and was brought to eye level.

"Jack…" Optimus paused for a second "I am over joyed that you have returned to us, but…" Optimus's face then grew dark with shame at himself "Optimus, it wasn't your fault" Jack started, stopping Optimus from going on "Megatron took me because of what 'I' did. It had nothing to do with you"

"But if I had not giving you the key…" Optimus tried to argue "it doesn't matter about the 'IF'S', he would of come after one of us sooner or later, I'm just glad it was me and not anyone else, as long as Megatron has had his revenge and won't go after anyone else then I'm okay with it" Jack stated with a smile, which rose Optimus's spark a bit, but he still felt guilty for it "not only am I alive, but now I can help fight the Decepticons too"

Optimus looked at the young man with a brow raised "and how are you going to do that?" he asked "I'll show you" Arcee said walking up to the screens and tacking a wire and importing it into the back of her head, everyone watched in amazement at what their young friend did in the battle, he showed great skill and speed, after the battle-video finished everyone was stunned.

Jack was the first one to break the silence "I know I've got ALOT to tell you gays, but first" Jack lawns and stretched his arms above his head "I just want to get a good night sleep" Optimus placed Jack in the human area and he laid down on the coach "I promise to tell you all in the morning and I do mean all of you" Jack stated as he drifted into a peaceful sleep, June placed a blanked over him and gave him a kiss on the head, she then turned to the others and took Miko and Raf home, Fowler went up in the elevator and the Autobots all went to their quitters for some recharge, but Optimus noticed Arcee sat next to the human area were Jack was, he knew she had feelings towards Jack, after-all you can't hide anything from a Prime, he gave her a small smile and a nod, which she returned and he continued down the hall, leaving the two to sleep.
