Onwards into the story of our two Autobot lovers and the story they go through. :)

Ch. 20

Arcee didn't move an inch since Jack passed out. Ratchet had given the all clear as he had said Jack was only in stasis and would need to stay that way for a few hours. Arcee looked down at the one she loved thinking of how different things might become now that he would live as long as any cybertronian.

Arcee was so focused on Jack's limp form that she didn't notice a certain human walk up to her. "Looks like I'm not the only one happy he's home." Arcee's head snapped to her right to see none other than Jack's mother. She was looking at Arcee who was currently wearing a neutral face; but June must have seen through this as she spoke up again.

"What's wrong Arcee, he's safe and he's in your arms; what are you worrying about?" Arcee couldn't bring herself to look at June; she didn't want to betray what she was feeling. "I am happy he's safe, I really am June; but…I can't help but feel like he's going to have to go through so much pain now because I didn't protect him."

Arcee didn't know what to expect, but she did not expect a sharp wrap on her helm as she watched a small rock fall to the ground as an agitated looking June walked up to Arcee. "Stop blaming yourself Arcee! This was not your fault!" Arcee was shocked beyond belief that June had just acted like this.

She was about to speak when another voice cut in. "Nurse Darby is right Arcee…" Arcee and June turned to see Optimus walking up to them with his usual stoic face as he spoke. "There was no way any of us could've known that Jack would be abducted, and so none of us can be held accountable for what has happened; not even you Arcee." Arcee suddenly fell into a deep thought as she realized that June and Optimus were right. There was nothing she could've done to keep Jack from going; and so she settled for looking down at Jack with a warm smile as she too fell into stasis with a final thought. 'He's safe.'

Later on in the base

Jack on lined as he soon realized he wasn't strapped to a steel operating table, and he wasn't in his and Arcee's berth. Jack attempted to move when he felt something wrapped around him. Jack looked over his shoulder to see a sweet site; Arcee was asleep with her arms wrapped around Jack's shoulders and a happy smile on her face.

'Primus she looks beautiful…' With that, Jack unwrapped Arcee's arms and picked her up bridal style as he began to carry her to their room. Jack was just taking the first step when Arcee's arms found their way back around Jack's neck. 'She is such a little kid at times…' Jack thought this as he smiled down at her form while he walked into their room.

Jack walked over placing Arcee gently down on the berth and unwrapping her arms from around his neck once more. As Jack began to turn and walk away he heard a soft voice coming from behind him. He looked and found Arcee lying on her back with a look of ecstasy on her face. Jack couldn't move as he watched her wondering what she was dreaming of.

Jack got his answer as she suddenly spoke in her stasis. "Right there…" Jack suddenly froze as he watched as her hands slowly went separate ways as one found her chest while the other went further south. Jack wasn't moving, he wasn't sure how to act as he watched what was happening when Arcee suddenly rolled over on her stomach with her legs spread and arched as she began to thrust her hips forward in a rolling motion.

"Jack… oh Jack… Frag me!" Jack froze in place as he watched as Arcee… pleasured herself in her sleep. Jack suddenly saw a small puddle of fluid collect beneath Arcee's hips as she thrust one final time onto her hand as her legs began to straighten as she turned over on her side as she had a small pout on her face that quickly turned into a small smile.

Jack turned away as he left the room so that Arcee could rest. As the door slid silently shut, Jack walked over to the elevator as he felt like getting some fresh air. As the door opened and Jack stepped out onto the top of the base, Jack walked towards the edge of the cliff and looked out at the rising sun with a content smile on his face. Jack suddenly realized something.

'I can actually protect Arcee now…' With that realization he began to think of the threats that could come down on Arcee. 'Airachnid, M.E.C.H, Megatron…' At the thought of the Decepticon warlord, Jack felt himself become even more protective of his blue lover. 'Megatron... if you ever hurt Arcee I will hunt you down.'

Jack suddenly realized what he was thinking; he was letting his anger control him again. 'Get a hold of yourself Jack!' Jack looked down with a sense of guilt at his thoughts before his mind turned to something he hadn't realized until now. 'Arcee…Arcee!' Jack's head snapped up as he realized what he was capable of doing now as a true Autobot; not only that but Jack realized that he now had something he didn't have before.

'I've got something to fight for again… a new purpose; I'm fighting for Arcee.' With that, Jack looked back up at the horizon with a determined look on his face. As Jack let his mind clear, a voice came from behind him. "If I didn't know better, I would've thought you were Optimus standing there." Jack turned around to see Ratchet walking towards him.

The old medic had a surprisingly genuine smile on his face. "I'll admit, I've been taking to Optimus' favorite pass time recently. Other than that, what's up Ratchet?" With that, the medic walked to Jack's side and spoke. "I wanted to give you a little head's up on something about Cybertronians. I see you thinking a lot and many times it seems to be deep thought; Cybertronians can save and access their memories, thoughts, and dreams at any time.

You see there's this compartment on the side of your' helm; it contains a data chip that you can plug into any monitor in the base and you can view your' memories or your' dreams in complete detail." With that, Jack went a bit wide eyed; he could review his memories anytime he wanted. "That'll really come in handy; thank you Ratchet."

As Jack said his thank you, Ratchet turned back to the elevator with a smile on his face as he left Jack to his thoughts. Jack suddenly felt very tired, 'Primus, I feel like I just hit the low from an energy drink.' Jack began to walk back towards the elevator to go back into the base when he suddenly went very light headed. Jack caught himself on the wall of the elevator before sliding to the floor and passing out.

Inside Jack's mind

Jack woke up to see a high ceiling overhead with incredibly intricate designs engraved into it. As Jack sat up he saw that he was in an unfamiliar surrounding; it was like he was in a royal bedroom complete with technology he had never seen in his life. "Where am I…what's going on?" Jack got out of the bed he was in and looked around when he heard a voice come from behind him.

"I apologize for the way you arrived here, but I felt that you deserved to see this." Jack turned to see a tall crimson armored Cybertronian with black highlights in various areas of his armor, as well as a long white beard flowing down his face. The Cybertronian in question spoke up once more. "I am Alpha Trion; you have nothing to be fearful of here Jack."

Jack visibly relaxed at the words of the large Autobot. "Why am I here, I don't understand what's happening." As the words left Jack's mouth, Alpha Trion began to walk towards him as he placed a large hand on Jack's shoulder. "The elder cybertronians have the ability to speak to others in their dreams. And from what I have seen from my former student, Optimus, there is far more to you than meets the eye."

Jack began to walk beside the old bot as he went wide eyed at the realization that he was walking beside a bot that taught Optimus himself. "You were Optimus' master?" Alpha Trion then looked down at Jack with a warm smile as they reached a balcony. "I was 'master' to no one my young friend, but I was a teacher of sorts to Optimus; and as you are now a Cybertronian, I felt that you deserved to see this."

As Jack followed the eyes of the Prime outwards from the balcony, he couldn't suppress the gasp that emitted from his mouth. Below the balcony, Jack could see a city with glowing rivers and skyscrapers reaching high into the sky. There were Cybertronians of all types walking through the streets with smiles on their faces.

"Cybertron…" Jack didn't realize the smile that came to his face; Alpha Trion looked out at the city below as he spoke to the now newborn Cybertronian. "Yes Jack, this is the great city of Iacon; I felt that you should know what it was like before the war." Jack looked up at the ancient cybertronian with wonder in his eyes as he realized that this vision was Jack's gift from the older bot.

"Thank you, I didn't think I'd ever see something this…Primus I can't even describe this…" At that point, Jack was taken out of his awe when Alpha Trion spoke once more. "There is another matter that I have brought you here to discuss, one that you will play a central role in Jack." Jack then looked up at Alpha Trion with a serious face as the ancient Autobot continued.

"Earth is in greater danger than one can truly realize; has Optimus told you the story of the first two Cybertronians?" Jack was suddenly very attentive as to where this was going to lead as he shook his head. "The first two of our kind were actually brothers, they were known as Primus and Unicron…" Jack focused on Alpha Trion's words as he still had a love for learning history.

"Unicron was the darker of the two brothers and wanted nothing more to destroy any and all who opposed him, and so when Primus stood in his way of destroying other sentient beings, Unicron fought Primus without remorse. However, Primus gave birth from his own spark thirteen warriors, the thirteen original Primes; and with their aid, they put Unicron into stasis."

Jack was in a state of awe at the knowledge he was learning, but he couldn't resist the question that was in his mind. "So what happened to them after that?" Alpha Trion looked at Jack and spoke up once again. "For Primus, he used what was left of his power to give birth to our race, and his spirit left to become one with the Allspark and his body became the very core of Cybertron; but Unicron drifted, out into the vastness of space until he was caught in the orbit of a great star."

Jack began to wonder what exactly happened to Unicron when Alpha Trion spoke up with a grim voice. "As Unicrons' body orbited the star, his body began to attract matter from the universe, while his physical body began to reform into a more sedentary form. That form… was Earth's very core…" Jack suddenly went wide eyed.

"Your' telling me that Earth is actually Unicron in a permanent stasis lock!?" At Jack's question, the old Autobot looked at Jack with a serious face. "Not a permanent stasis lock; he can still be awakened, by a planetary alignment." Jack suddenly realized that everything he loved was in danger. "What am I supposed to do, there has to be a way to stop Unicron from coming back on line!"

Alpha Trion looked at Jack with a thoughtful face as he spoke up once again. "I am unsure of how you will stop Unicron; all I know is that you will play a part in this turn of events. It is the will of Primus Jack, but do not be fearful; for it is within you to succeed and to bring others back together when they forget who they truly are."

Jack wanted to ask what the Prime meant but before he could ask, his vision went whiter than snow as he began to hear a voice calling out. "Jack, Jack can you hear us?" Jack's optics on lined as his vision cleared and he saw the entire team standing around him. Jack looked up to see Optimus looking at him with a worried look as he spoke up.

"Jack what happened, we found you unconscious in the elevator." Jack sat up to see Arcee staring at him with streaks on her face. 'She's been crying…' Jack saw this and felt a sense of pain that he had caused her to worry. "I don't know how to explain it Optimus, I think it best I just show you all what happened."
