Ch.5
I deeply thought something over when it hit and scared me "not camelot, he's after avalon."
Everyone looked at me weird but I kept quiet. I closed my eyes deeply thinking something over after some minutes.
"Jack ." I heard Optimus say when I looked up to him "whatever this secret is you trust us to keep."
I brought a pocket watch "It's a family secret that has been pasted down through the generation, trust is not the problem"
"It's keeping others from finding out" acree said " i swear we won't tell everyone"
"I swear, I swear" I repeated "arcee that's it you're a genius, a magical oath."
"But a cybertronian doesn't have a magical core." ratchet said
"You can transform can't you" i replied "Cybertronians have a little bit of magic in them, enough to make a magical oath and the best part if i word it right someone can't read your mind or use a cortical psychic patch."
After sometime i thought it over "repeat after me, on my life or magic i swear i will never tell mentally or physically anything having referring to avalon so mote it be " everyone did i said
I called mom "mom can you come to base it has to do with the family secret." a few minutes later mom showed up
"What do you know of the story of the dragonheart" i said
everyone but raf knew what i was talking about "a long time ago a knight and a dragon worked together to defeat an evil king named eilon, at first the knight swear to slay every dragons he sew but a few years later the dragon and the knight put the past behind them in order to to make a living but it wasn't until the knight, the dragon named draco and a lady kara and mock named brother gilbert got to some castle ruins where the knight find his fire and made his oath to the knight's code and helped defeat the evil king but in the end the dragon gave up his life to defeat king eilon, the castle was the ruins of avalon the resting place of king arthur" i took a deep breath and finished "Very few people know of avalon and only one family knews the true location and protects it's the knights family the knight name was bowen" i finished
Miko and raf realized something "the knights of bowen"
"Yes my family knows its location, throw out the years the darby family would fight in every war if it was right, to honor the knights code." i finish
"Surely we could use the satellites to find it?" ratchet said
"No only a dragon can find out, avalon is so heavily protected nothing can find it." i said "but it's what avalon has that alex is after, a long time morgana le fay had two students, one only wanted to learn dark spells and the other wanted to learn everything about magic he even went to merlin to learn magic, a few years later morgana gave her students a book, the one that only wanted to learn dark spells had a book of spells. The other had a book of anything to do with magic along with her son" i said" as you can guess the other student did not like that very much so they got into a magic duel and the student with more training won and the two families hated each other since the darby's longheart's "
"It doesn't help you're a werewolf" raf said "and a better duelist then him." miko finished
Mom pulled into base "jack what's this about family secret."
"Mom alex is wanting to bring morgana le fay back to life, he already has the vampire teeth and we were attacked by dementors yesterday." i replied
"That means he needs the mummy and werewolf part and something personal from her. You want to go to Avalon to protect it." mom said "how are you going to get there not even a floo will get you there?"
"Ratchet opens the groundbridge to anywhere." i pulled out my pocket watch
Ratchet opened the groundbridge and I threw the pocket watch through the vortex "Ianuae Magicae ut Avalon" i said activating the pocketwatch the groundbridge want a green and blue turned to a deep dark blue "I'm going alone." i said the opened my truck and pulled out my battle robs and grabbed the vampire sword "a knight is always prepared" i said to myself
Everyone wanted to go but arcee was the loudest "jack I'm your panther im coming."
"Fine but only arcee." i said
Miko and raf protested "come on jack please let us go please"
"No." i said "letting you all know of avalon is real will get me in enough trouble as it is" walking through the bridge
"Welcome avalon" i said
"Um jack." Arcee said "there is nothing here."
"Are you sure." i said with a small smile "or are seeing what we want you to see" i said stepping forward and disappeared miko and raf were surprised but after a minute they followed.
When she walked forward she passed through the wards and come across me and dragon "Hello old friend." I said with a smile and to arcee surprised "it's good to see you again."
Draco gave me a happy smile "hello bowen." but before he could answers someone interrupted him.
"What is this monster doing here!" someone yelled
"If there is one thing I hate being called." i said "is a monster " i threw a knife close to him missing by inch"do not call me that again or you'll regret it horvath." i said walking to draco "where's balthazar i need to see him."
"My partner is no monster." acree said
"Do the smart thing horvath and leave me i've done more and seen more than you'll dream." i said
"He's eating with his group you, know he says." draco said
"A group that eats together, trains together, stays together." i replied "thanks draco."
"Hung on draco as in draco from the story?" arcee asked
"No, every once in a while a male baby and a dragon is born under the constellation draco, the baby and the dragon is named bewon and draco." draco replied
"Jack." i heard someone say
"Balthazar." i said "it's good to see but i'm not here for fun."
"You look like you have the weight of the world resting in your hands bowen" Draco said
"You're not wrong my friend but I can handle it." i said "has anything happened around here lately."
Balthazar though it over for a little bit "yeah someone stole something from her tombs but we weren't able to find out who did it." he replied.
"What was stolen?" i asked
"A dwarf made amulet but that's about it." Balthazar replied
"dang it, that would do it" i said i looked to arcee "he's three steps and two step behind."
"What do you mean bowen?" draco asked after a minute he fingered it out "how did you get the vampire notion on your side."
"That's a long story my friend." i replied i rubbed my neck we walked into the mess hall acree
when i took a seat i saw horvath coming he pushed another trainee like was unlikely to get in his way and took a seat by his friends after a minute or two he walked up to me "who do you think you are, how dare a monster like you come here to the holy kingdom of avalon."
"Thats enough horvath." Balthazar said
"No let him finish let's see how deep he dips." i said
"You have a reptile and a mantel monster for a friend , your mother must be so ashamed of you, you filthy beast." horvath said
I took a deep breath got to face him and said "my name is Bowen Jackson Fenrir Willam Darby beta to the to wester werewolf pack of the united states, friend to the Vampire nation, honorary prime of cybertron currently fighting in a war where the fate of the world hangs in the balance that's who i am. who are you? draco, balthazar i hope your not gonna miss this cricket is thing is going to be talking funny and walking strange by the time i'm through with him."
"What could a monster like you do?" horvath repiled
"Let's find out." I punched him with a enough to send him outside i handed my wand to Balthazar "hung on to this for me." and followed
When i stepped outside I brought out the vampire sword still in its sheath "let do this." I blinked twice and smiled
Horvath got up and ran at me but i simply sid-stepped him and hit him in the back with my still sheath sword "rule one about never charger your opponent." He than got up and slashed side-ways but the i dodged it and punched his stomach sending him back sone feet "try again."
horvath got back and the slashed again but this time followed by a stab i blocked one and dodged the second and kicked his feet out from under.
"Good but predictable." I said
He jumped up tried the kick me key word tried because i caught it and pushed him away "now your just boring me." When he got up i grabbed him by his throat. I held him up in the air "why horvath."
"What are you talking about?" horvath replied
I threw him into the wall "gaia vincula" horvath was wrapped in an earth chain "Accio morgan le fay necklace." out of Horvath beg came a silver and blue necklace "did you really think i wouldn't notice her magical signature, signature on the ground disappears after three days but magical signature on an object that hasn't been touched is a different story." i said "take him away" i broke the earth chain and some man took him away.
Time skip two hours
I walked down to the dungeon's and walked up the horvath. I wordlessly used "Alohomora." i looked him dead in the eye "walk with me." we walked up the mountain besides avalon we stayed silent until we got to the top,"sit." I simply said a half an hour "why did you take her necklace ?"
"To keep it out of your hands." Horvath said "alex said your trying to do something that would dishonor the order"
"And you took his word." i replied "you called me a monster hmph I bet you don't even know about monsters."
"What do you mean?" Horvath asked
"a monster is someone who has no problem killing a pup." After a minute passed I replied "let me tell you a story, two kids playing together minding there own business. one was girl and a other one was is boy, one was older and the other one just learned to transform into a wolf, the two kids were playing having just fun when a silver shot rang out almost hitting them, they ran for life their lives the girl force to the pup to hide but the girl was hit by a spell it ripped her to shads later the boy found it was called "Sectumsempra" the last words the girl said was "protect them" the boy did just that, it took a very long time but he become a beta he fought to protect everyone younger than him, he earned the title protector of the pack he is a knight in training become friends and an honorary son to the high guard with a nation that has long history of being fighting with his type."
"That's... that's your story isn't" Horvath said " you're the boy."
I nodded my head in agreement "yeah that was eleven years ago, she was seven and i was five she was my best friend, i knew growing up i was a beast but the only people who treated me normal was the pack and mom but i was never a monster I'll hurt someone but never kill ."
"I'm sorry, I didn't know." Horvath replied
"It's ok, Horvath but you're going to do something for me." I grabbed something in my pocket "you're going to tell me what you were going to do with this?" i holding the necklace
"I was going to give it to a person named luke longheart." Horvath replied
"alex 's father." i thought something over "where were you going to meet
"diagon alley." he replied
"You're going to do something for me." i said "you going to give this him but your not going him about this little talk we've had."
"You want me to lie?" he asked surprised
"No, you're just not going to tell him too much."i said "you're going to tell him you took the necklace at night, i never came to avalon and if you get asked if you got caught you'll say Balthazar was looking in to it but was getting nowhere fast"
"So you want me to mislead him" Horvath said "what's the difference between misleading and lying."
"Chess is a game of strategy, part attack and part misleading, what can I someone else do, werewolves are good at fighting, hmph... This is a game I intended to win."
After a minute or too i had an idea "hey Horvath i have an idea, have you ever been in the back of a dragon."
"No but I always wanted to but draco probably wouldn't allow it." Horvath replied
"Well I'm sure if you ask him and you tell him and acree sorry for what you say he might allow it." I replied "but i have to get going sorry."
"Yeah go save the world." Horvath replied
"Remember this Horvath, the war of light and dark have been fought through the shadow of history, it's my job as protector to make sure to keep the balance in check, light doesn't always mean good and darkness doesn't always mean bad, a true warrior to keep the two in check." I said
We walked back to the castle and we walked over to acree, Balthazar and draco "Balthazar I have had a talk with Horvath and we've come to an understanding bu. unfortunately it's time for us to go." we walked out of the protective shield.
Arcee called for a groundbridge and we walked in, I walked to my truck and pulled out a light cloak and some goggles that will help where i'm going next "Arcee say here where i'm you can't follow."
"No jack we're partners where you I follow." arcee replied
"No cee." I replied "I'm going to Hamunaptra, the egyptian city of the dead ancient burial site for the sons of pharaohs and resting place for the wealth of egypt, it's true jlocation is protected by the endless sand storm, ratchet will have my hide if you came."
"Yes I would." ratchet overheard
"Ok fine just be careful." Arcee replied
"Ratchet please a open groundbridge to Egypt and bulkhead keep a hold of miko she cant follow." A groundbriage opened "thank ratchet."
When i walked through i heard a engine come through "well your here might as well finish" i said "but tomorrow is the brotherhood meeting me and me alone has to go let go."
We started walking into the desert and a huge sand storm come up and hit us full force arcee try to me but i stop her "No arcee I must face this storm alone it's a part of the test." we continued walked and the storm kept on raging every step was harder half way through a shape of a lion came closer when the we came closer it was a sphinx the body of a lion with head of a human."
"Trespassers beware answer my riddle or be no more." the sphinx said
"Go for it" I replied trying to keep my footing.
"I never was and yet always to be, no one ever saw me or ever will and yet i have the confidence of all who live and breath what am i" the sphinx asked
I thought it over long and hard even with the storm going on"You are tomorrow." i replied
"Oh bugger." the sphinx replied than turned back into sand
"We need to keep going, we only just passed the test of thoth and on working seth test ." I said we continued walking our last few feet the wind below as hard as hurricane, when we got to the city gates guarded by 40 ft black and golden statutes of Anubis holding spears almost as big as then they stopped us.
"I'm here see the great pharaoh, seeking knowledge." I said the statutes looked at each other after a minute they agreed on something and stabbed me in the chest it phased right through me but pulled out a glowing white and black wolf spirit they took a closer look after a minute or two the returned it and spoke in beast language /"you have passed the test seth and thoth you you've proved you are smart and strength now you passed the test of Anubis you proved your spirit you have more to go."/
/"thank you protectors of Hamunaptra"/ i replied they let me but they don't allow arcee passed /" she is not one of us, she is not allowed to passed."/
"What happened ?" Arcee asked
"They're not allowing you to pass because you're not human, I have to go on alone." i replied
Arcee thought it over "okay just be careful."
"Now where's the fun in that." I replied when I got inside I had to take a break i lend on a wall off to my right and I saw a pool of water "a simple test by luckily i have my own water." I said to myself after a second or two i heard something huge and it was getting closer.
I was a huge statue of Horus with a Egyptian sword called a khopesh "Horus the god of the sky and war." I said "well this will be fun." i thought and brought out my sword.
Horus slashed down and I blocked it but the sheer weight brought me down on one knee, I didn't see the kick coming, it sent me rolling some feet away.
I got back up and laughed a little "come on horus let's have some fun" he charged me and I ducked under her and slashed his legs but it did little damage, he backhanded me sending me into the wall "ok now im annoyed." I shadow traveled in front of him.
He charged me again but this time "Bombarda." sending him back some feet "Alarte ascendare." sending him to the air I summed a bow "dirigentes sagittas." I released a couple of arrows and pinned horus to the wall plus a sticking charm to keep him there "sorry horus but i have to keep going and trust i would love to fight some more."
I continued walking till I got to a hall "well here we go again" as i walk down great darkness and dark red energy came out of nowhere and hit me in the heart.
In my mind
I woke up and all around me was a nightmare the decepcion won the war, optimus, ratchet, bulkhead and bumblebee were offline arcee was almost their "you could have help us, where were you"
I turned around and my pack and the vampire nation were there cursing me "how could you jack." I heard the most and I heard Alex laughing .
I covered my ears to drown them out. After a minute or two I realized something "Wait a minute, this is my worst fear, it's all in my head." i realized i was a asleep
i willed myself to wake up.
when I woke up "hmm another test, they sure put a lot of work into tests" and continued walking i came into an open room with big golden scale in the middle with statues of Anubis, Thoth and Ahmet a bing with the head of a crocodile with one half of its body of a lion and the other half of a hippo.
I took a deep breath "well final test i believe let's hope for the best." I stepped forward, I know if I failed I wouldn't be walking away.
A rock scarab came out of the sand, I kneed down and held it in my hand it crawled up my arm and over my heart it dug into my skin and pulled something out.
Normal pov.
It pulled Jack soul out, he clapped on to the ground, Anubis came out and pulled it off and placed the bug on the golden scale on one side was the glowing rock scarab and the other side was a glowing pure white feather the scales went back and forth till it met in the middle.
Thoth nodded and wrote the information down, Anubis picked the rock scarab and placed back over jacks heart where the life force went back into jack
Jack pov
I woke up in a little pain, Thoth helped me up, thoth and anubis walked with me on the wall four beings two they were huge one brown and the other was blue, two over a door one was gold and the other red "Obelisk the tormentor, The great defender of egypt Exodia,
Slifer the sky dragon and The winged dragon of ra." Make no mistake they weren't just statutes.
We continued walking till we got to a room with Osiris and the rest of the Egyptian gods, only they weren't statutes
We continued walk till we git to a thrown room with a green mummy with the Egyptian Pantheon around him "what is your name young pup."
I gave my one arm bow "Bowen Jackson Fenrir Willam Darby I'm here looking for knowledge has one of the cursed tombs been broken into."
No one said anything but a friend of mine walked up to me "jack how do you know that."
I turned to him "atem its good to see you again, a person named alex thats my seth he's trying to do tenebris resurrectionem right now he four out of five items he'll need."
"Jack your playing a very dangerous shadow game. are you sure you can win?" Atme asked
"Yes atem." I replied "one of those items is a trap cards one that pull his is whole plan apart." I thought something over for a minute "if i may ask who cursed Scarabaeus sacer was it."
"It was the high priest imhotep he was mummified a live." anubis replied
"Thank you anubis." I said "sorry horus for sticking you to the wall but I'm running out of time, in fact I should be going."
"Thank nothing of it." Horus replied
"Here this time take the fast way this time" atme said tunnel opened the main room "know you could have shadow travel in right
"Yeah but i believe knocking first before walking in, seeing how this my first time to the city of Hamunaptra."
Horus stopped us "Before you leave I have a gift for you young one." He gave me a wood box I opened. It was a gold bracelet "may the power of ra protect you."
"Thank you horus." i said then continued walking till I got to the entrance "alex has everything he needs, i need to leave sorry atem."
I was surprised when seth stop me "imagine my surprise to see a young pup facing my storm with a stone wall of his own so i had this made for the person who could just that on his own" he handed me a wand holster with a name on it abn awaa "it means jackal, only you can pull your wand it has some egyptian spell of protection on it take care of it" i put it on.
I was shocked speechless "thank you seth and i would love to stay but i need to head back to base."
"Go on save the world." atem said
arcee called for groundbridge and we went through "I meant what I said you're NOT going with me to the meeting." i said walking out of the groundbridge
"Yes i am jack where, you go I go" arcee replied
"No your not, you can't go" i replied "if i have to ill stun you just to keep you here." everyone was surprised by what i said "im serious arcee"
