Jacks pov
I began to wake up, my eye-lids felt heavy, but I forced them open and sat up on the coach, I looked round and smiled that I was in the Autobot base, I was home.
"I'm home" I said in a soft, happy, relieved voice, I slowly stood up to look round, I had taken my cloak off last night, the clock on the wall said it was 7:55am and the rest of the Autobots would be getting up soon, I walked up to the railings and took in a deep breath and stretched my back and arms, I then noticed to my left that Arcee, my partner, my friend, and person I loved, was leaning against the wall next to the human area, it warmed my heart to see her like that.
I walked down to her and stood by her side, I knew she wanted to make sure that I was okay but I wanted her to get some decent recharge too, I was brought out of my thoughts when her optics came online, she then looked down at me and smiled.
"Hey partner, how long you been up?" she asked me in a soft voice as she placed a hand on my back, I looked up to her and smiled "I just woke up" I replied as I stretched my wings out and flapped them a few times, hearing some clinks of metal and grind of gears before retracting them again.
I looked up to her and saw a distant look on her face and I knew what she was thinking, I just knew, because I cared about her, I placed my hand on the side of her arm and she looked down at me "I'm sorry I wasn't there to protect you" she started with a sad look in her optics "I should have taken you back home first or to base with me, if only I had…"
"That's enough Arcee!" I said firmly surprising her and myself a bit, I looked into her blue optics with my right eye (because his left was covered with bandages) "you didn't know, you couldn't have known and that was a month ago, so stop blaming yourself for it" "but I'm your guardian…" "I know you are, and I'm very lucky to have you as my guardian" I replied looking at her with a comforting face "and no matter what, you will always be my guardian, but the one thing I will not allow, is for you to take the blame for this" I stated jesting to my body "now let's get ready for when Miko, Raf and mom gets here, I promised to tell you ALL what happened and the others will be up soon" I said as we stood up and Arcee looking a little more happy.
Just then Ratchet came into the room and looked at us and smiled, it was a happy, relived smile to know I was safe and sound "I'm glad you're up" he said walking to the monitors "I want to do some scans of you to see if everything's alright" he stated looking down at me, but I gave him a sad smile because of what I was going to tell them.
"Sorry Ratchet, but the scans will have to wait until I give my story of what happened" I explained "I'm sorry Jack but…" he was about to protest but saw my stern and serious expression, he then knew he wouldn't win and just nodded, soon the rest of the Autobots woke up, first Optimus, then Bulkhead and finally Bumblebee, at around 8:47am, my mom's car came into the base with Miko and Raf in the back and soon after Agent Fowler showed up, we soon got settled down and Ratchet was about to start scanning me.
"Before we start" I started grabbing everyone's attention "you all should know that it's more than just my physical appearance that has been 'upgraded' as I should say" I stated earning some confused looks from everyone.
"What do you mean, more than 'physical' appearance?" Miko asked, but from the look on my mom's face she knew exactly what I was on about, I looked to Ratchet and nodded for him to take a scan and he did, his face then looked like it went pail from what he read "by the all spark…."
I then removed my bandages from my left eye and earned some more gasps from everyone.
Normal pov
When Jack removed the bandages from his left eye everyone was in shock, where his blue-grey eyeball would once be, was replaced with a shining blue optic (human sized of course) and a scare that ran down from the middle of his left eyebrow to just under his eye above his left cheek.
"The cons took your eye away!" Bulkhead stated with anger in his voice and clenching his fists ready to slam something not chairing if Ratchet shouted at him.
"I'm afraid, it's more than just that" Ratchet said with a sickening look on his face, he then turned to Jack, who had wrapped his arms around himself "they put… things, inside me" Jack said in a shaky voice "what do you mean… 'Things'?" Raf asked, Jack then looked up to Ratchet with pleading eyes for him to explain instead of him and Ratchet under stood and nodded, he then turned to everyone.
"My scans show that Jack, not only has human organs…. But also Cybatronion organs as well" Ratchet stated with a sad voice "what does that mean?" Fowler asked "it means…" "it means that they cut me open and put some of their organs inside of me" Jack stated cutting Ratchet off, Fowler stood frozen to his spot, June looked like she was going to cry, Raf went pale and Miko looked like she was going to be sick.
"But that's not the worst part" Jack started grabbing everyone's attention again "the worst part is…. I was awake the whole time they did all this" he said gesturing to his body, that was it for June, she burst out into tears and fell to her knees, Fowler tried to comfort her while Miko was trying to comfort Raf, Bumblebee was also trying to comfort his small charge/friend by beeping soft words to him.
"Let me explain, what happened after I woke up on the Nemesis" Jack said as he started his story.
Flash back, on the Nemesis, where we left Jack in chapter 2, Jack's pov
I felt the blade peace my skin and slowly move down the rim of my arm, cutting into my skin and the feel of my own warm blood flowing down my arm, I clenched my teeth in pain and tried to struggle against the blade, Knockout stopped with a displeased face he then reached over and grabbed an injection needle and injected me with something, he then altered the operation table so I was facing the selling, he then removed the clamps holding me and I saw this as my chance, I was about to get up when….
I couldn't move, not even my mouth to talk, I was paralyzed, Knockout then looked down at me with a smirk "you won't be doing anything for at least a few earth hours, now I can continue" he stated as he was about to go back to my arm, but then the doors opened, but I couldn't see, but I did hear someone, the figure then came to the right side of me and fear griped me….
IT WAS AIRACHNID!
She looked down at me and smirked, she ran a sharp, metal, claw down the right side of my face, she then looked back to Knockout "I've brought the peace's you wanted" she said handing a metal box to him "aaaah, thank you, don't want to start without them, do you wish to stay?" he asked looking back at me, she shook her head and went out the door, he mealy shrugged his shoulders and returned to me, he placed the box on a side table next to me "now where were we" he said going back to my arm and I was powerless to stop him…
He cut from the palm of my right hand down to the middle of my forearm; he then pulled back the skin and muscle, the pain was excruciating, all I wanted was for the Autobots to show up in time to save me, I know they will come and hopefully soon, Knockout then reached into the box and pulled out a long looking wire that looked like the roots from a plant you would dig up and on the top end was a circular piece of metal, he placed the wired end near where he cut open my arm and I saw the wires come to life and dig into my mussels and attaching themselves to my nerves, he slide the rest of the wire into my arm and the circular piece of metal was in the centre of my palm, I could feel the wires moving and attaching themselves to the insides of my arm and my blood run down my arm.
He stopped for a second and saw my face going pale, he then reached to my right and pulled a table to the berth, I looked at the table to see two giant cylinder containers that were three times my size, the one on the right was filed with blood, the Cons most likely stole all that blood and all I could think about, was that it was going to be wasted on me, when it could be used for someone more important, but when I looked to the container on the left my mind froze, it was filled with pure-blue-Energon.
Knockout then grabbed a tube, with a spike at the end, that was connected to the container with blood and jabbed it into my right side, right in-between my rids, I wanted to scream in pain, but I couldn't, I didn't cry, oh no, I wasn't going to let them have that satisfaction, I felt the new blood slowly flow into my veins, I then looked back at Knockout just in time to see him grab another tube with a spike, but this one was connected to the Energon container, he then jabbed it into my right arm above the back of my elbow, I gritted my teeth in pain, but then I felt the Energon flow into my body, I gasped in pain, it felt like my arm was on fire, and that fire spread as the Energon flowed through my body.
Knockout then did the exact same thing to my left arm, like he did to my right, cutting it open and inserting the same device, but I hardly noticed because of the Energon flowing in body like, hot, boiling, laver.
He then removed what was left of my shirt and then my shoes and socks; he then pulled out some sharp pieces of metal from the box, he then placed one on my big toe and grabbed what looked like a welding torch, a small blue flame came out the end and I braced myself for what was to come, but it wasn't enough, the heat melted the metal around my toe and burnt my skin, I could smell my burning flash and feel the burning of my skin and the blood dripping off my toe.
When he finished he grabbed another needle, that was filled with a silver liquid, he injected a small amount of the liquid into the side of my toe and the stinging of the heat stopped and something weird happened, the metal attached to my skin felt like it was a part of my skin, I can feel what the metal can feel, Knockout then looked at my confusion and smirked.
"Those where nanobot's" he stated looking at me "they moulded your skin and mussel into the metal, now the metal is a part of you, and now for the rest" he said with another grin as he started with the rest of my toes, with the same amount of pain as the first, fist my left foot then the right, doing the exact same thing to all of them.
After he finished with my toes he took another needle filled with, what I believe, are more nanobot's and shoots a beam of red light into the container, from his optics, and then injects it into the souls of both my feet, I then felt the skin and muscle of the bottom of my feet become tight and hard, then there was a sharp pain as something's sharp pierced through my skin, but it wasn't going into my skin it was coming out, I was able to look at the souls of my feet and I saw many small spikes sticking out of the souls of my feet, and like my toes I could feel the metal as a part of me.
He pulled another blood-tube and attached it to my left thigh and another Energon-tube to the back of my right-leg, he then pulled out some more things from the box, he then placed the pieces of metal on the back of my, now flat, pharm side down, right hand and grabbed the welding torch, then started to weld the metal to the back of my hand in the same way as my feet, he welded each a piece of metal to the different pieces of my fingers and fume, he then welded the bigger piece to the back of my hand, he then grabbed another needle and injected me with more nanobot's and the metal on the back of my hand became a part of me, and like the rest, I could feel it like my own skin.
The pain was so insane that thoughts of me dying started to sound like heaven to me, but I through those thoughts out of my head, I wasn't going to die just yet, I was going to see this through and go home to my family no matter what!
Knockout then took another needle and shot another beam of red light into the container from his optics, he then moved to my right elbow and injected it, a moment passed and a shot of pain came through my elbow and a giant spike shot out of my elbow and blood dripped down from my hand and elbow, the spike was half my fore-arm length and was in line with my fore-arm.
He then moved on to my left fore-arm, he took out the scalpel again and pressed it DEEP into the back of my fore-arm down to the bone, he then cutaway a big peace of my flesh leaving a giant opening in the back of my arm, my blood poured out and ran down the sides of my arm and onto the table, he then reached into the box again and pulled out a big piece of metal with hundreds of wires coming out of the sides, he placed it in the opening in my arm and the wires came to life and attached themselves to my muscles and bone, he then took some more nanobot's and inserted them into my arm, once again the metal became a part of me and I a part of it.
He then turned me over onto my stomach and reached into the box again pulling out three metal items, one was long and looked like a metal spin with wires and sharp pieces of metal on one side, he grabbed the scalpel again and cut deep down along my spin, and I felt my warm blood ooze down my back, he then moved the metal spin to the opening in my spin and the wires came to life sinking deep into my back and connecting to my spin and skin, he then injected more nanobot's into my back and the metal becoming a part of me.
He then cut into my shoulder blades a few inches away from the/my metal spin, he then took the other two metal objects, they looked like metal-bat-wings but without the wing membranes, he plunged the wings into my open shoulder blades and the wires began their work again, connecting to my joints and muscles with so much pain, he then injected me with more nanobot's into my shoulder blades and then I felt the metal wings, it was wearied at first, like having extra arms, but I could feel as if I've always had them, but I was drown out of my thoughts as a sharp pain came from my left shoulder blade, the skin and muscle became hard and changed into metal, it felt like someone was pulling my skin off my shoulder blade very, VERY, slowly, it stopped and over my left shoulder blade was a metal plat covering my left shoulder blade.
Before he flipped me over to my back, he grabbed another object from the box, it was twice as thick as my fume and it was shaped like a drill, he smirked and with his free hand he straightened my head and pressed the tip of the drill to the back of my head right were my brainstem is (it's at the back of the head at the bottom were the head and neck meet) he slowly began to twist the object into my skin and piecing the skin and he kept twisting and pushing it deeper, blood ran down my neck and onto the table, it was the worst thing I felt so far, I wanted to scream, I wanted to scream so much until my throat was sour and I would keep screaming until I coughed up blood, but I still didn't cry, I gritted my teeth but I wouldn't cry, not for them.
Note: the rest of this will be in the next chapter, until then.
