The Nemisis, 3rd POV
Jack flinched as Knockout injected energon into his system.
His whole body ached, and he trembled slightly with exaustion as he kept his eyes tightly shut. He felt so tired...he just wanted to sleep and-
Jack's head snapped up when the door hissed open, and Megatron entered the room, aproaching where Jack hung by chains. The warlord stopped once in front of the Jack, inspecting the raven haired teen.
His shirt was gone, ripped to shreds by the scalpel Knockout used. Circuts and wires weaved across white metal that had been implanted into the human. A large amount of metal and wires covered the skin that protected his ribs, another length went from his shoulder to run horozontaly across his chest, and his collar bone area had healed over with black and acid green circuts, the proof that the self repair systems were in working order.
Jack glared at the 'con lord, and his visor flickered to life at his recognition of Megatron being an enemy. Megatron smirked before looking at Knockdown for a status report.
"He still refuses to give any information on the location of the Autobot Base. He also, despite the shock control, he refuses to destroy any and all droids. The rate of sycronization between himself and the technology is amazingly fast. With your permission, my liege, I would like to continue adding tech inside his organs, rather than just on the flesh, muscle and bones."
Megatron was silent for a moment, watching Jack as the teen's storm blue-grey eyes snapped up to glare at him. The warlord then nodded.
"Very well, proceed with your plans. But as I said before, do not kill the boy." Megatron said, turning while Knockout bowwed. He then left, Jack glaring at his retreating back.
Knockout moved forward, begining to undo the chains around the raven haired teen.
He then took Jack out of the room, heading to the medical room and placing Jack on the same table as always, and he grabbed the scalpel that had been set aside.
"This will be agonizingly painful, so feel free to scream." Knockout taunted, cutting into the soft flesh of Jack's belly.
The Nemisis, Jack's POV
Blood gurgled up my throat, spilling out of my lips and sliding down my cheeks as I struggled in vain against the chains holding me to the table.
Knockout frowned, then tightend the chains. I gave a small growl of pain as the chains bit into my neck and wrists, making the raw skin bleed. The pain was, as Knockout had said, agonizing. But I refused to give him the pleasure of making me scream.
He grabbed some pieces of tech, carefully placing them into the gash he'd made across my stomach. I gave a small yell as wires sprouted from it and dug into me, more blood coming to spill from my mouth.
I wanted to beg for him to stop, to remove all the strange cybernetics he'd placed in me, but I forced myself to stay silent. I down right refused to speak and beg for mercy.
I had to stay strong, I had to protect everyone, like Optimus.
Knockout ran a few scans over me, then nodded before taking me roughly in his hand and taking me back to the room I decided was the torture room.
He once again chained me, and left the room. I hung from the ceiling as my senses were swamped with pain. Blood dripped down from my stomach, and my face as well. It stained my ripped up jeans, and a few drops fell to the floor from my chin.
"O-Optimus, A-Arcee...pl-please...hurry up and c-come sa-save me from th-this hell..."
Autobot Base, 3rd POV
"Optimus! Megatron is requesting to meet us."
Everyone quickly went over to Ratchet, confused and angry as well. Optimus nodded to Ratchet, a sign for him to continue speaking.
"In his words, he says that Jack has been of no use to him, and he has decided out of the 'kindness of his spark'. He sent the quardinates as well. If we are to save Jack, we have to hurry."
Optimus nodded, while Miko and Raf cheered in joy and June placed a hand to her chest and gave a sob of relief.
As the green vortex came into existence, Optimus turned to the 'bots.
"Autobots, roll out." He ordered, going into his alt mode as well as the others.
He prayed to Primus that Jack was safe, and that this wasn't a trap
The Nemisis, Jack's POV
I woke with a start as pain crossed over my senses.
Five days, five days since they'd begun pitting me against drones, three days since the tech had been placed in my stomach. Megatron had finally gottan the message that I wouldn't fight, and comanded that Knockout remove the shock control and leave me with no food...or, energon, I guess.
And yet Knockout still seemed to enjoy waking me up with a shock from an energon prod.
I glared at him as he set the prod aside and grabbed me, unchaining me and leaving the room.
"You should be excited, fleshbag." He said, voice rather angry. "Megatron has decided to give you back to your Autoscum, now I'll have no test subject." He muttered darkly.
My heart jumped into my throat as I nearly beamed with joy. Megatron gave up! I was going back to my family, though I doubted it pleased Megatron much.
When we entered the main control room, Megatron strode up and took my in his hand, gripping me tightly.
"It seems you've won this battle, fleshling. Though I still intend to have a little fun, perhaps we should demonstrate you self repair systems?" He asked, chuckling darkly.
I felt my stomach, or, what was left of it, drop. I wasn't going to leave without aquiring one more injury.
?, 3rd POV
The Autobots stood at attention, waiting for Megatron to arrive with Jack.
All of them were tense, even Miko, who stood at a safe distance with June, Raf and 'Bee. When a green vortex came into existance, the 'bots went into fighting stances, watching as Megatron, Knockout, and a dozen vehicons came through the bridge.
The 'con leader held something tightly, but it was obscured from view.
"Optimus, I'm glad to see you came." Megatron said, voice dripping with dark joy that made everyone extremely wary.
"Megatron. Where is our human friend?" Optimus asked, voice clear and calm. Megatron chuckled, then lifted his hand, showing what he held tightly in his fist.
"Jack!"
The teen's head lifted, and stormy blue-grey eyes snapped to Arcee. And he smiled in relief.
Everyone was shocked as Megatron's hand opened, and he held Jack by his arm, letting the teen dangle. It clearly showed off the 'updates' that Knockout had given the raven haired boy.
"What have you done to him?" Arcee demanded angrily as she stared in horror at the dried blood and pieces of stained white metal, wires and circutry.
Megatron chuckled, and Knockout smirked proudly.
"He refused to give us information, so I decided to use him for...other purposes. He saved Knockout the trouble of finding a test subject." Megatron replied, chuckling darkly.
"Yet sadly, he refused to destroy the droids we placed him with, even when we placed a shock control on him. He is useless to me, so I decided to you your little pet back."
Jack turned his head upward, and surprised everyone by glaring fiercely at Megatron, who returned the glare.
"I am not their pet, you bastard. They are my family, as I am part of theirs!"
This made the 'bots look at him in shock, and Optimus felt his spark freeze in surprise.
He had never considered that any human would consider himself and the Autobots as family. Now Jack was so bold as to admit it, and be proud of what he considered a family, despite most of them being Cybertronians.
Megatron scowled down at Jack, then, using a clawed finger, he slashed open Jacks arm. The 'bots went to attack, but Optimus held up a hand to stop them.
Jack didn't even scream, only made a small growl of pain before wires and circutry seamed the wound together.
Optimus felt his circuts twist painfully as he realized what Jack went through, for them. Never before had anyone suspected just how strong and loyal Jack was to the Autobots.
Jack looked up at Megatron, his visor flashing to life and surpriseing the 'bots and his human friends and mom.
Jack's free hand curled as blue electricity built in his hand.
"L-lord Megatron?"
Megatron looked at Knockout, irratated.
"What, you idiotic-!"
Jack swung up, slamming the blue electricity into Megatron's arm. The warlod gave a bellow of pain, dropping the raven haired human. As soon as Jack's feet hit the ground, he pushed back, jumping and landing beside Optimus' feet before collapsing onto one knee, strugling to breath. He smiled up at Optimus as the vehicons and Knockout scrambled to aid Megatron.
"Lets hurry up and get home." He said before collapsing in exaustion.
