This chapter is focused a little more on how Jack, Miko and Raph will be involved with the Autobots in future parts of the story.

Also, Mario is still standing at my window. It's kinda creepy.

"Ah, shut up! You lika de attention."

Dammit, Mario. Go away!


Uggh, I don't want to wake up now. thought Jack as his alarm went off. 7:00 Great, I didn't sleep at all last night. Damn. Jack got up from his bed and started doing the usual thing that he does. He showered, brushed his teeth, got dressed, and went out to the central area, where everyone else was just waking up and getting breakfast.

"Hey, Jack. What did we miss yesterday?" Miko and Raph asked, walking towards him at the table.

"Well, first off: I got my first Decepticon kill." Jack said, with a grin on his face.

Their eyes were wide, with both fear and amazement. Miko was the first to ask how he did it. Jack told them how he killed a decepticon in a massive battle between the autobots and the decepticons.

"Aww, why wasn't I there?" Miko asked, disappointed.

"That sounds awesome. Hey, do we get some suits like yours?" Raph asked.

"Yes, in fact, you do." Ratchet said as he walked in, pushing a button on the wall again.

A door slid open, revealing two more suits. They all seemed to have jetpacks and Mikos' suit looked kind of like Jacks' suit, but with pink and green armor instead of dark blue, and it had a different looking helmet. It also looked like it had more armor than his and could carry heavier stuff. Mikos' helmet looked like it was built heavier. It had an extra layer of armor on the forehead and an infrared/x-ray sensor on the left side.

"Awesome! Thanks Ratchet!" Miko said as she ran towards the room.

Raphs' suit was smaller, but looked almost just as strong as Jacks suit. It had orange Chest plates and back plates, while the rest of the armor was Yellow, trimmed with black on the outside. The suit looked a lot more techy than the others, having what looked to be a communications pack on his back, with a weird three-pronged object on the top along with an antennae, a tablet on his belt, and a weird-looking wrist gun. It also had a different helmet, with an orange visor, a flashlight and a camera on the left side.

"Now, these suits are built to be able to assemble on whoever uses it, meaning you can wear it even when you grow." Ratchet said.

"Awesome, when do we get to try it?" Miko asked, excited.

"I asked the officer here if I could use one of the hangars as a training ground for prototype suits, like yours. It is specifically built so you can practice and train without getting hurt." Ratchet said confidently.

"Well, then, lets go! Come on guys!" Miko said as she ran 30 mph out the door.

"Hey, wait up." Shouted Raph, as he ran even faster out.

"Jack, before you go, I need to show you something." Ratchet said.

Jack reluctantly agreed and followed Ratchet, since he didn't know what he was going to get. Ratchet opened a large cabinet door in his workshop, and pulled out a cylinder-shaped object about the size of Jacks hand.

"This is an external attachment I made for your suit. It allows you to boost the power to your exo suit and jetpack. It increases the speed you can run and produces more Jetpack thrust for the same amount of energy." Jack stared at it in awe. His first suit upgrade.

"Now, it does need to recharge for 30 seconds after you use it. It lasts about 3 minutes, so plenty of time for you to get somewhere." Ratchet said.

"Alright, I'll use it when I need to. Anyway, I need to catch up to Miko and Raph. See ya." said Jack as he ran to the hangar where they were at, a little faster than Raph. I feel like I actually did something to help them. Thought Ratchet, smiling as he went to the terminal, working until the others woke up.

The hangar was massive, at least 2 football fields long and wide, with it being at least 100 meters tall, and it had plenty of stuff in it. It had hills, small cliffs, and even a little battle arena in the far left corner. He only had a few seconds to soak it in when a pink and green thing ran right by him, almost taking him with it.

"Hey, watch it, Miko!" Jack yelled at Miko.

"Sorry, still getting used to running this fast."

Raph was on top of what looked to be a security tower, with an automated turret. Jack went up to Raph to see what he was doing.

"Hey Raph, whatcha doing?" Jack asked.

"Figuring out how to control things with my suit," Raph said, not looking away from his tablet.

"Ratchet told me I could control autonomous objects, and even build small-scale structures. He didn't have the time to teach me, so I'm trying to find it out myself." Raph said, more concentrated on his tablet and the turret than anything else.

Jack looked at the tablet for a moment, "Wait, what if you push this button."

Jack pushed a button on the top right corner of the tablet. Suddenly, the turret revved to life. Raph squealed in delight, and noticed that the turret followed the direction of his hand. He turned it off and pushed a button with a microphone symbol.

"Hmm, so how does this thing work," Raph said.

With that, Raph said, "Turret. Activate." The turret buzzed to life, except it wasn't controlled by raphs hand. A series of commands popped up on the tablet, each listing an order for the turret to do. He tapped the command to turn 90ยบ, and it turned that much. Raph and Jack, amazed, commanded it to track Miko, but it didn't.

"Maybe it needs specific commands," said Raph, as he told the turret to look for a purple and green suited figure. The turret started panning the space in front of it, and when Miko ran by, the turret locked on and fired some plastic slugs. Miko immediately went flying a few feet and landed.

"Oww, what was that for?" Miko asked, a taken off guard.

"Sorry, testing what I got for my suit," said Raph, laughing.

Miko suddenly had the perfect revenge strategy, and started grinning evilly. She ran behind the tower, with Jack and Raph still concentrated on the turret. She climbed up, and took out a large chain gun that she got with the suit. She jumped up and started shooting. Plastic slugs hit Jack and Raph like bees protecting their hive, almost forcing Jack and Raph off the edge of the platform.

"Uhh, remind me not to piss off Miko next time," said Raph, grinning inside his helmet from making Miko react, and from humor.

"Anyway, I think I know how to defeat her," Raph pushed a switch, and a soft hum could be heard, and the weird device on Raphs back started spinning rapidly. Suddenly, a blue sphere formed around Jack and Raph, stopping Mikos rounds from passing.

"Whoa, that's awesome. Lets get her back," Jack shouted, with a fake grenade and an assault rifle in his hands.

Raph nodded, programming the turret to return fire while Jack threw a grenade.

Miko dodged both the turret and the grenade, and brought out her anti-material rocket launcher she got. She aimed and fired at the shield, almost making it shut down. Jack then remembered the add-on that Ratchet gave him. He switched it on in his HUD and immediately started running towards Miko. Miko fired her chain gun, but Jack was too quick. He got in behind, and shot 10 plastic rounds into her back, making Miko moan in pain.

"Oww, stop it!" Miko shouted as she grabbed Jack and threw him against the wall.

"My turn," said Miko, with an evil grin on her face. Miko took out her chain-gun and fired, point-blank, at Jack, for 15 seconds. By that time, Miko had enough revenge on the person who shot her in the back. She then focused on Raph, who has built two more sentry turrets, which fired at her the moment she noticed. She got into cover and stole one of Jacks grenades. She threw it, and heard it explode.

"Noooo, my sentries... and me!" said Raph as he got peppered with plastic shards from a grenade.

"Fine, we surrender," said Raph and Jack, almost simultaneously.

"Hehe, got me revenge," Miko said, grinning.

Suddenly, a loudspeaker turned on.

"So, you having fun with those suits?" asked Ratchet.

"Hell yeah! When will we try them out in the real fight?" Miko asked.

"That is exactly what I called you for, Optimus has a mission for you. Oh, also, I want to give you some things before you leave." said Ratchet.

The trio looked at each other with questioned looks as they headed to the main hangar.
