First and foremost
I've been thinking about adding some review responds to my stories most of my favorite authors do it
To Daniel6.
You gave me a great idea, I just added on to it keep reading you'll find out how, keep them coming
To the guest.
I have to say I disagree with how you said it, I'm more along the lines of giving ideas and writing stories, I don't like unneeded violence and unless words, John Wayne said it best in big Jake "there's two reasons to kill one for survival and meat." Any other reason pointless
This is one of my longest chapters to date

If i missed one let me know
Last time on son of snake eyes.
Optimus threw knockout away and in mid-air transformed, he looked at his arm where the door would have been "do you know how hard that is to replace." knockout said upset, we all drove up to optimus and knockout showed some brains and ran off, the bots transformed and i drove up to him "optimus, this was my fault" i said
"We must get this boy to safety immediately." optimus said and i could tell he was upset "Explanation can come later… for all of you."
We all felt trouble. "Put him in my car optimus, i'll drive him into town." i said, optimus did just that and i drove back to town halfway there he started waking up "how did… What happened?" he asked
"Some guys jumped you under the bridge, they tossed you into their trunk." I replied "it must have been some kind of initiation."
"Realy." he said
"Yeah." I replied "I found you, knocked out by the side of the road. So where do you want me to drop you off at"
"By warehouse the district." he replied 'hmm maybe this wasn't a complete loss.' i thought
half an hour later we pulled up to the warehouse I pulled alongside the road "look i got to be honest, after what i saw tonight, i'm thinking racing just isn't my thing." i said
"I hear you draby." he said the next thing i knew he pulled out a taser and shocked me i slowly started blacking out "the boss wants to see you thieve."
Now onto the story…
Jack P.O.V.
I was hanging off the wall with my hands above my in a little bit of pain. "ow, that hurt?" I slowly opened my eyes.
"Well, well look at what we have here, a little rat." said zartan, the leader of the Dreadnoughts and master of disguise.
The room was gray and had little light, the door swung open and a lady and two guards along with Vince "so you're finally awake." vince said
"So you're the little thief who broke into our warehouse." the baroness said in her russian accent.
I looked at Vince. "What's this all about vince." I looked to vince
"You stole money and other objects." the baroness said
"And we want it back." vince said
I glared at Vince "So what are you the leader here, vince?"
"No." a new voice said, but an all too familiar voice girl i knew in school.
Sierra walked into the light. "I've been running anything in jasper, i know anything that goes on in my town."
"How are you involved in all of this, sierra?" i asked
"Well if you must know jack, the baroness is my mother my real name is sierra cisarovna." she replied
"Enough." the baroness asked "we have questions of our to ask."
"Again what do you want?" i asked
"What did you do with all that money?" zartan asked
I smiled and said "A little here a little there a little bit everything."
"You little brat." Zartan spat
"What about the documents you stole?" the baroness asked
"Fire works great for useless object's." I replied
"Tell what I want to know or" the baroness said but Sierra picked up "or I'm your mother could tell us."
"You wouldn't dare!" I yelled, Sierra and the baroness had a look in their eyes like they found something sweet to eat.
"Try me." She smirked
I hang my head in defeat "I burned them like I said, I thought they had something I could use, I needed the money and I thought it was something I could use."
"He is a loser, cant even steal right." Vince said
"How did you find out?" i asked quietly
"We caught you on camera." the baroness said "what i'm more concerned about is how you found us, our friend on the inside said the joes were sending a spy to investigate our under network."
Vince started laughing "and you think it's darby he's nothing more than a petty thrive."
'Thanks vince i saved you and you backstabbed me, thanks but you did just give me a good cover story more importantly they're a leak in joe's.' i thought
" ." the baroness said, breaking my train of thought "sorry to interrupt your train of thought."
"I was just thinking, Sierra is the baroness's daughter that i can get" i said "but how does vince fit in all of this he is neither smart nor very fast if i was able to beat him again, how does he fit in."
"Why you?" Vince said, angry he then punched my gut "anything more to say."
"Yeah you punch like a girl." i said between berths
"Hey, I taught him how to punch." Zartan said, then he punched me in the stomach.
I split up some blood "your right." I smiled a little bit "you both punch like a girl."
"Hey! How dare you insult my uncle." vince yelled
'No wonder he has such a big ego.' i thought
"Enough." the baroness said "fool's while you all are fighting him, he's gathering information."
"Me, I'm just a petty thief, remember." i said
"Zartan, if Jack returns the money will you be happy." Sierra said thinking it over
"I can do that." i replied, "if i return the money, will you leave me, friends and family alone "
"Deal." The baroness said, The guards lowered me to the ground. "Vincent will go with you to insure you will return the money." she said
I rolled my shoulders to get the feeling back in them "fine by me, where's my car." I asked the last part.
"Follow me." Vince said, as we walked to the back of the warehouse my blue mustang was there "we tried to unlock it but we couldn't open it."
I smirked, and replied "Yeah my dad made a special lock for her." I opened the back and pulled back the floorboard to reveal a secret compartment and pulled out a duffel bag and walked over to the baroness "now you'll leave me, my family and friends alone right."
"Correct." she said "is this all of it?" she asked
"Yeah all three thousand." I replied, handing it to her "now leave me alone." I started walking back to my car.
"Wait a minute." Zartan said, then he punched me in the gut harder than last time. "That's for trying to steal from the Dreadnoughts." Then Vince started scratching the mustang and spelled thief on the doors and roof then he took a bat and smashed my tail lights and slashed my tires.
"Oh man." I said, trying to catch my breath "dude that was my dad's car."
"Well maybe you'll think twice before you steal money from the Dreadnoughts." zartan said, then they left me alone, i slowly walked to the car and the third pressed on the dash and the recycle button for three seconds and the car outside the car skin turned back to normal and the tires reinflated and tail light got fixed themselves "joe tect the best of the best." i said to myself as i put my car in storage but before i left i had the car scan me and the car, there was a bug on the back of my collar and under my car after removing "hmm, let's put this to good use" i said, i found that rat helped me.
Later at home.
I walked all the way home and into the garage arcee was waiting for me, "Jack where have you been, we've been looking all over for you."
"Can it, Warrior Arcee." i replied "i need a bridge to base, i'll explain anything there."
Arcee thought it over "ratchet, I need a groundbridge immediately." a green vortex opened and me and arcee went through it "ratchet, type in these coordinates." I said as I passed him a piece of paper.
"Jack what's going on." he yelled and everyone started asking questions.
"Look guys, I'll tell you everything when I talk to my higher up's." i replied just as a joe named breaker
"This is a restricted frequency, identify yourself." breaker said
"Breaker, this is corporal sabaku no hebi. I need to speak to General Hawk" immediately."
A man in black with a silver hawk on his hat said, "This is General Hawk, what do you have to report."
I saluted him "A lot sir, i need to inform you of all that's been happening lately permission to bring team prime to the pit."
"Permission granted to bring the leader and your partner to the pit." The general replied, breaker sent ratchet the coordinates for the pits and ratchet opened the groundbridge I got in my ninja uniform and then walked through it.
The pit, in egypt
(AN: think of the movie ) Me, arcee and optimus walked out of the groundbridge four howlers were in land bay one was being worked the general walked up to us "optimus, arcee welcome to the pit G. I. JOE's headquarters." he said
I saluted him "hello sir."
"And what exactly are the G. I. JOE's" arcee asked, standing next to me.
"The G. I. Joe's don't tactically exist but if it did they would consist of the top men and women from the best military units from around the world, they are the alpha dogs when all else fails they don't." The General said, "What do you have to report habi."
"A lot sir, I have some good news and some bad news. I replied
"What's the bad news?" the general asked, hopefully it won't be bad.
"I have been partially compromised." I said "the leader of the cobra's underground thinks I'm a petty thief which I could use as my cover story."
"And what's the good news?" the general asked, hoping for some news.
"I found out how they spend their underground network." I said, I pulled out some papers "the Dreadnoughts go around from town to town and make little cells and the leader answers to the Baroness, the underground racing is just a cover, Sierra is the daughter of the Baroness and Vince is the nephew of zartan and Sierra running anything in jasper from drugs to racing, she using the racing to ship the drugs from place to place."
"That's a lot more information than we've been able to uncover, good job, but you shouldn't have brought the cybertainains into this, corporal ." the general told me.
I robbed the back of my neck "sorry about that, sir I really didn't have an option in this, storm shadow came to the base and told me some information that helped us the next day."
A man in black suit jumped down and looked at me weird. "I'm sorry father, I smelled the sword that was used to kill the hard master, it smelled fake." snake eyes looked sideways "it's not a real arashikage blade it smelled completely different like it wasn't forged right it."
"But there's no way to prove it." the general replied "how's Miko Nakadia and Rafael Eesquivel?" he asked.
"Their fine sir, miko cant stay out of trouble and raf has some wicked hacking skills could give breaker a run for his money." i said
"So who is sabaku?" arcee asked
"Corporal sabaku no hebi son of snake eyes master of taijutsu and kenjutsu but still in training ninjutsu and shurikenjutsu but his master is unknown." the general anwered
"So it is the little runt I heard so much about." A new voice said
I did a spin kick and then landed on his crest. It was firefly "What was that about a runt?"
"Sabaku stand down." The general ordered
"Yes sir." I replied "sir can I speak to you alone sir." The general agreed and took me to his office.
"Now care to explain why you attack firefly?" the general asked
"When I was being integrated, the baroness slipped up and said our friend on the inside of the joes." i told him
"You think it's firefly?" the general asked
"He smelled like a snake as weird as that sounds." i told
"Write me a report on anything that happened." the general order "down to the last detail, dismiss."
I saluted him "yes sir." Then I left the office and when I joined up with Optimus and Arcee were talking to Team Alpha, they were having a good time "duke, scarlett!" I yelled, as I ran over to them.
They turned to me "hey kid, how are you doing."
"Been better." i simply replied
"Yeah, well that's a mission for you." duke said
I smiled a little "yes sir." before we left
We groundbridge back to base
"Was that your dad?" Arcee asked, standing next to me.
"yeah." I simply replied walking over to ratchet.
"Why doesn't he say anything?" she asked
"He doesn't say." I replied, the next morning me and Arcee went on a mission, I was again in my ninja uniform and I brought a special sword "today the day."
We were walking in the woods and I was being strangely quiet "Jack is everything alright?" arcee asked
"Yeah, just today is a bad day for me." i replied
"Want to talk about it?" she asked
I kept quiet for a bit "six years ago, my friend and partner was killed today, the killer hasn't been since and trust me I've looked, after that I met my master and trained under him for the next seven years, then he left and I haven't seen him since."
"I'm sorry jack." Arcee said "what's with the special sword?" she asked
It was a blue handle with a black guard. "It's a special sword that me and my master forged together when I got my Arashikage tattoo, that's the day he left." We continued walking, Acree was about to say something but just then her scanner started beeping really fast.
"That's odd, ratchet satellite scans were accurate but subterranean deposits don't cause this much of a surge." Acree said
We walked for a little bit till we hit a big gash in the ground.
"It looks like a?" I asked "a crash landing stay behind me low and close." Acree said, we both ran up to it to get a closer look, it was the ship.
"Oh no, it's her ship." I said under my breath.
"Can't tell, wait here." acree said then transformed her arm into her blaster "arcee be careful." She nodded her head then walked up to the ship and entered a few minutes late,r Acree walked out and looked hurt.
"Acree what's wrong." I said, walking up next to her.
"I know who's ship this belongs to, Acree to base I need a groundbridge ASAP." But she got nothing but static" scrap the ship must have a comm jammer." Acree said looking jumpy.
"Acree you're kind of freaking me out here, its her ship isn't it." I said
"Wait here." Acree told me then went to do some tracking, After a bad flashback only brought out thanks to me.
acree transformed then said "climb on." I did as told and when I got my helmet on, acree shot off like a buttle. She scared me a little bit when acree jumped a ravine and when they landed acree transformed and I asked "ok was that really necessary?"
"Acree to base." But got nothing but static. "Scrap." She comm
"Look acree I've seen danger before." Jack said but Acree interrupted saying "wait here I mean it this time."
"Ok first you shut me out and now you're ditching me" acree transformed into her bot form at that point "I thought I was your partner."
"No hubi, you're highly trained but still a kid, you were only here because this was supposed to have been no risk, got it." Acree said then ran off and transformed leaving me alone but I did not listen and walked up to the ravine it would have been hard to cross for a normal person but luckily I was not normal, I jumped the ravine and landed on the other side easily.
I went to do some tracking of my own. " I'm a ninja scouting was in basic training. I caught up with Arcee. She was webbed to a rock slab, I threw six shuriken hitting her in the arm "KUMO ON ON'NA!" i yell getting her attention
"SS-Sabaku no hebi." she stuttered.
"Back off kumo." i said "she's my partner and under my protection."
She smirked and said "Partner you mean like your last partner."
I pulled out my special sword. It was a silver blue blade.
"Oh shiny." She said "but I hope you know swords will work as well as last time and you remember how well that turned out."
"This sword was forged by me and my master. It's a sword forged from energon specially forged just for you, when we meet again."
"I told you to wait for me." Acree said
"Yeah well partners don't ditch partners and trust me i'm not leaving you with her and i made that mistake once before and I wont make it again." I said, I threw six shrunken, at arcee then and the poison on them was specially made just for her webs and they started eating away at them.
"Get this through your thick skull, you're not my partner, you're a liability." Acree said looking at jack
"I don't believe you, I can see it in your eyes, arcee your scared and you're never scared and the truth is I don't blame you." Jack said that last part I said under my breath.
"Your right snake, I am afraid, afraid of losing you." Acree said and I looked up at her a little shocked,
"I'll say this, you both sure have trouble keeping your partners don't you acree, little snake. We both know what happened to tailgate and I heard some radio chatter saying the loss of cliffjumper at some point you have to ask yourself is it them or me." Arachnid said
"Do you get it now she hunts indigenous species and she's on earth that means human that means you hubi." I looked worried "RUN!" Acree yelled
I ran office to give me some space, Arachnid webbed acree again undoing all the work I just did.
Arachnid laughed then said, "and that's why I prefer to work alone." Arachnid took one of her legs and slammed it next to acree than made acree look her in the eyes. "It's so sad when bad things happen to good people but don't get me wrong, I'm going to snuff out your spark and trust me I will make it hurt but that will not compare to the pain you'll feel knowing I am adding your partner to my collection."
'Not likely.' i thought
"He's stronger than you think." arcee said
"Oh I'm counting on it." Arachnid replied
I looked back and I thought "This time, this time will be different." I looked back a saw Arachnid jumping over facing my way and I started running, coming up with a plan.
I ran some more, I looked back and saw Arachnid walking after me "that's the spirit snake playing hard to get." Good she is following me.
"not this time kumo." I said to myself.
It was starting to get dark and I was going to use that, I started jumping from tree to tree to gain altitude. I did this a little while I watched Arachnid go under me and said and a minute later "hello jack." Out of instinct, I swung my sword and cut her face along with two back legs.
"Well your sure are a hard target that will be fine addition to my collection."Arachnid said
I ran some more till we ran to the ravine. I jumped over it and kept running till I found her ship, I made a sound like I ran into it "it's payback time." I thought
Arachnid said "snake if you wanted a tour all you had to do was ask you, see the empty slot it's just for you."
"not this time kumo." I said to myself.
I ran to the back and hit some liquid. I looked down and it was energon.
I made some sound and then ignited with my energon sword, I ran as fast as I could but the blast sent me flying a couple of feet.
When I got up, I had this pain in my crest but I walked it off, until something hit my foot. I looked back and I saw a burnt Arachnid then she launched her webbing at me pinning me to the tree.
She came down to me and was about to kill me. "You thought you were a ninja but I guess every cat runs out of lives." But before she could kill me, the sound of an engine, specifically acree's engine, she got enough speed and landed and kicked, sending her flying a few feet.
Arachnid got up and knowing she was outmatched she drilled into the ground acree tried to shoot her but they missed.
I ran over to hole she made "kumo!" i yelled "she got away again but this time she cant leave."
"How do you know her?" Acree asked out of concern
"She's the one that killed my firend just like yours." I said
"Acree to base I need a groundbridge, I need to get my partner way from any over grow insect" acree said
"...partner ... Uhh." I said taking some deep breaths
"Junior partner I can still pull rank." Acree said
"You know I'm corporal." I said
"And i'm a warrior, Look Jack, I'm sorry you had to face my demons today you were pretty fearless today." Acree said, walking up to me.
"It's ok she is my problem too, Actually I was scared mostly for you." I replied, we groundbridge back to base "if anyone needs me I'll be will up top.
I was sitting meditating and Arcee walked up to me "want to tell me what that was all about?" she asked
I was quite for a little bit, she started walking away "thirteen years ago me and my friend were playing around in the Arashikage mountains kumo no on'na that's what i called her, she crashed landed close to the dojo, the Arashikage sent their best after her but it wasn't enough, her first victim was my friend and partner. His name is Shisui. I was three almost four when it happened."
"I'm sorry jack." arcee said
"It's fine, now all that needs to happen is bring kumo no on'na to justice." i said
She put her hand on my shoulder "I'll help you bring her to justice."
Tell me what you think.
