Jasper, Jack's POV

I yawned, stretching my arms above my head as I woke up.

I blinked blearily, then slowly stood, going over and padding into my bathroom. I splashed some water on my face, hoping to be fully awake before I went to school, since I'd rather bike to school safely (Arcee still being at base).

I changed, letting my father's old necklace hide beneath my shirt. I then looked at myself in the mirror.

And I nearly screamed.

My eyes were a bright, electric blue (and I knew that they wouldn't fade to a normal shade this time). And my hair touched my shoulders, the tips now a light blood red, even with my hair being black, it could be seen quite easily.

Frag.

How the hell was I supposed to hide these changes? I could wear sunglasses, but the blood red tips of my hair and its new length couldn't be hiden.

With a sigh, I went and dug through my dresser, pulling out a pair of sunglasses.

Later, 3rd POV

Jack sighed with irritation as people stopped in the halls to stare and whisper about his new strange hair style.

It had been like that through the whole day, but Jack was able to ignore it, and, by some stroke of luck, was able to get through the school day without having to remove his sunglasses.

Just as he walked out the front doors of the school, Vince and two of his cronies came up, getting in Jack's way at the bottem of the front steps.

The raven haired teen stopped, face nearly emotionless. He raised a brow.

"Can I help you?"

Vince sneered as he grabbed Jack by the front of his shirt.

From the sidelines, Miko was pulling out her phone, ready to take a video. She was now scared about Jack, and, even though she promised to not tell anyone about the time before, she certainly said nothing about this time.

Jack felt anger surging through him, but he tried desperately to restrain it as Vince yelled in his face. It seemed that the red head had recovered from the events of Friday, and decided that beating up Jack would put him back on top.

Jack gently reached up, prying Vince's hand off his shirt with surprising strength.

"Look Vince. I'm sorry about Friday, my anger got the best of me, I shouldn't have acted on it. But if you throw the first punch, then I'll fight back, school rules be damned." Jack stated calmly.

Vince stood, stunned for a moment, but the the red head smirked.

"As if you can fight, Darby."

Vince drew his fist back, then punched, aiming for the raven haired teen's face.

But his hand was caught by a callused one.

Jack tightend his grip on the fist, then pulled, moving to the side as the momentum sent Vince stumbling. The teen then ducked as one of Vince's goons tried to kick him, and brought his fist up into the male's gut, sending the cronie to the ground.

Jack then side-stepped as the second goon punched, bringing his knee up into his gut. The onyx haired teen then grabbed both the males and smacked their heads together like eggs. He let them sit down.

Returning to Vince, Jack jumped as the red head kicked, grabbing his leg and thrusting his own feet out to kick him in the jaw, landing on the other side of Vince's leg.

Jack then calmly walked off while Vince and his cronies stumbled away.

Stoping the phone recording, Miko and Raf quickly followed as the older teen continued down the road.

Autobot Base, Jack's POV

I stared down at my feet, contemplating.

My homework was already finished, easily, most likely thanks to the change that I was going through, helping me remember everything.

With a sigh, I pushed away from the wall I was leaning on, heading towards the hallway.

"Jack? Where are you going?"

I paused, looking back at Arcee, I then smiled.

"Eh, I'm a little bored. Thought I'd walk around a little. She nodded.

"Just be careful."

I grinned.

"As always." I replied, heading off towards the energon storage room.

I'd been having to steal energon on a daily basis. I felt extremely guilty about it, but now I couldn't eat human food without having to throw up five minutes later.

"I do not like you being around that femme." Shadowdusk suddenly murmured, and I scowled.

"Well too bad, she's my guardian, partner, and friend."

"Don't speak in that tone of voice with me, Moonsoul."

"My name isn't Moonsoul, it's Jack."

A slight pain to the back of the head was my only reply before she faded into the back of my mind.

I examined the hallway's for camera's, and looked for them in the storage room. Finding none, I entered the room and went over to one of the cubes. Climbing up onto it, I went to the edge, laying on my belly and, cupping my hands, I dipped them into the energon on the cube next to the one I was on.

I felt relief flood through me as I let the blue liquid flow into my throat, swallowing it as though it were the last bit of water on the Earth.

A few dozen more sips and I was full.

I stood up, dusting myself off before jumping off the cube.

3rd POV

"Hey, guys?"

The 'bots all looked over to Raf and a strangely hesitant Miko.

"We...We think somethings wrong with Jack." Raf stuttered out. This got them the full attention of the 'bots, who all moved over to stand next to the deck that the two humans stood on.

"Is there a reason for these thoughts?" Optimus asked calmly and Miko simply held up her phone and pressed a button, playing a vid for Optimus.

The Prime and other's were shocked that Jack had so easily taken out three teens.

When the video finished, Arcee looked up at Optimus.

"I've never seen Jack show any signs that he knew how to fight. He isn't violent, he tries to avoid violence. But he only gave Vince a warning..."

Optimus gave a slight nod.

What was happening to Jack?

Hey y'all! Just wanted to say I put up a picture on my dA account that is sorta fanart for this story, so check it out! My username on there is 'blackbeltgal', in case you didn't know. Have an energon cookie ^_^
