Last time
A few minutes later we walked around and saw the key started to glow brighter "we must be close." I said I looked up and there was a statue of Megatron "boy someone sure is full of himself." I said as we continued walking till we came into a courtyard-like place.
When we walked in and the ground started shaking and cracking then the key started glowing brighter a few minutes later a gate came out of the ground and when we got close the lines on it glowed then the door opened "vector Sigma is down here." I said surprised.
"Remember, Kaon wasn't always the Decepticon capital, Megatron took it as a capital without ever realizing what was under their feet." Arcee said then we heard something on top of the gate. It was a giant bot-beatle that dived at us,
We both backflip out of the way, arcee firing her guns at it but the thing blocked them it got a good look it came after arcee and pushed into the otherside of the wall.
"Arcee!" I yelled than it turned to me and I got into a fighting stance it stared at the key then ran at me but I unfolded my wings and jumped as high as I could.
"What's going on." Ratchet yelled
"We're being attacked by a bug." I replied
":An insecticon:." Ratchet spalt out
"What are they doing there!" Mom yelled
":what are decepticon's doing on cybertron.:" raf asked
":A few remained in stasis as a sentinel in case the enemy returned.:"
We kept jumping out the way it fire at us but it's aim was just as bad as the vehicon.
Arcee had transformed to avoid the insecticon and fired her gun "Jack go." Arcee told me
I looked at Arcee then at the gate "what should i do, leave my panther to an insect again, or run to Vector Sigma."
Back to the story
I looked from arcee to the gate and I started having flashbacks to when I lost shisui "I can't lose another one." I said under my breath "I can't lose my partner." lost in the past till i heard mom's voice "Ack, Jackson Sabaku no hebi!" I heard her yell "what would your master say."
I took a deep breath "focused on the task at hand, prioritize your objectives to achieve that task."
"Arcee is a fully trained warrior and can handle herself." Mom said "Optimus needs you now, that is your priority."
I took a deep breath "Roger mom, thanks." I replied, I ran through the gate and watched the gate close and I watched as arcee was firing her blaster and the insecticon tackled her "please arcee be safe i can't lose another partner." I unfolded my wings and flew down the hall along the way. I thought I heard something but I couldn't pull my finger on it. Some time later I found a gate that looked like the first gate, the details on it glowed blue and opened.
When i walked into the huge room and continued down the path i looked over the edge and it was like an endless drop with a glowing blue light at the bottom, i continued down the path
when I got to the end of the path it laid to a platform, the keycard grow to its original size when I put the keycard in the middle it transformed back to its original size than the central piece pulled back and than when straight up and a Ninety Degree angle i jumped down and softly landed on the ground with my wings out.
When I got up, a bright white sphere came up from the floor with the language of the prime's rotating around it, some of it was hard to read but others I didn't even know, awestruck would be an understatement "this is just... wow." I said just then the energon lines started glowing and disappearing in a pattern connecting to the keycard "commencing download." I comm, The download is taking longer than I thought. ":this is taking a while:." I said getting nervous
":of course this is the Collective wisdom of the primes we're talking.:" ratchet replied
"You're not running out of time, are you?" mom asked
"No, the longer i spend here, the bigger risk we have that megatron has to find us." Then I heard a sound I was hoping to never hear again. when i turned around there had to be millions of scraplets with their big chainsaw-like mouths and they were starting to swarm "oh great." i said
:what is it jack?:" ratchet asked
I replied with only one word ":scraplets.:"
":what's a scarplet." mom asked
"You know termites, think of that only they eat metal and they love living metal but they don't brother with human skin." i replied,
I heard bulkhead say "scarplets, why did it have to be scarplets."
"Will they attack you?" mom asked
"I don't think so, my arm is covered by earth." i replied, that confused everyone
"What if they chew through Vector Sigma before the matrix fully reloads." mom said
"So Vector Sigma is more than Legend." i heard Megatron's voice "you autobots have gone to impressive lengths to recover your leader, Be assured I'll never underestimate you again." Megatron said
"Now I assume the one called arcee will be stepping through that portal with a reload Matrix of leadership in hand." He said
"We hold the space bridge no matter the coast." Ratchet said
I ran up the platform and was cutting the scraplet with my flaming sword and was slicing through them but in truth it was doing little to nothing against vase numbers of the scraplets just then started to slow down "no no don't quit now." I said than i heard something that sounded like arcee motor but a minute later the bug showed back i eye's went wide "no, no not her too." i said under my breath.
"back off bug." I said holding my sword with two hands just then it took a step back but it wasn't looking at me it was scared of the scraplets which gave me an idea I grabbed one of the scraplets "hey here's the main course." I said that through it the insecticon tried to run away but caught up to him and the others followed closely behind sending the insecticon and scraplets over the edge eating him away bit by bit as it fell.
Another minute passed and the keycard was finished. It glowed white then the light dru down and turned back to its smaller size and the light blue parts inside the key turned white just then arcee showed up "arcee i'm glad you're safe, let's go I have the matrix's." I said "let's roll." She replied
"We need to hurry, arcee." i said
"on it." Arcee said then she got on one wheel and she shot off like a bullet. A few minutes later we were at the portal entrance. I asked "we don't have to go through this together do we?"
"no." arcee replied
"Good, here's the plan." i said, arcee went first and if she didn't come back i would wait a minute when i walked through the bridge, onion turned to me i i held up the keycard after a minute onion asked me "are you sure i am worthy?"
"You have no idea." I replied, then held the keycard higher and closed my eyes and the contents shot forward and into the matrix of leadership.
when megatron heard the sound it to late the information was already downloading back into the matrix than he just drops arcee and run to me and onion, ratchet tries to stop but megatron just swots him away like a fli right about that time the key it finish and flows up into the air and landed in hands.
I jumped into the air and brought my saber and a dark energon saber, shocking Megatron stopping the megatron from hitting Optimus with my two sabers in an x shocking Megatron "what did you really think you were the herald and heir of unicron."
"Megatron!" optimus yelled "begone" he jumped punching and i brought an dark energon war hammer and with the help of optimus sent megatron to the other side of the cave "rachet how did we arrive here?" Optimus asked, "It's a long story, old friend." Ratchet replied
"this time he's coming with us." I heard bulkhead say i ran through the groundbridge followed by ratchet bumblebee and bulkhead lastly arcee and optimus.
On the other side raf, Fowler and mom ran over to Optimus "Optimus?"Raf asked
"Hello Raphael." Optimus said with a rare smile, i turned back to my human form
"He remembers us sweet." Miko said
"All though there is something I don't remember." Optimus said looking at the symbol on his shoulder
"Optimus this truly our darkest hour but one thing for sure your spark has never stopped being that but of an autobot." Ratchet said
Later that day
I was sitting on the roof. I was meditating and also enjoying the sun rays till I heard some footsteps coming towards me "Hello jack." i heard optimus say
"Hello optimus." i replied
"Thank you for bringing my memories back." Optimus replied
"Any time optimus." I replied, "It's good to have you back."
"Tell me about your master." optimus said
I took a deep breath. "My master was a cold mech to get along with at first but as I got to know him he began to soften." I gave a small laugh "When i was six, master and wheeljack crushed landed on this planet and both were hurt the next day they woke up and wanted to start fighting but grandma made in clear that the mountains were neutral grounds and if they started fighting it was in sparring matches, a couple days later master and wheeljack was standing about as far part as they could but they were still civil with each other, and a younger me walked up to them and started asking question, while everyone was else stayed far away from them, after that day day master started training me, I remember the first and last time I lied to him that day i was walking to the forest to start training me and i heard one of the students bad mouthing my master and i confronted him and started fighting him long story, short i got my butt handed to me well when i when to training master asked me if i was okay and i told him yes, while i was training i was slower and in pain but i completing the training but after he told me he knew the whole time and that he might have gone easier on me he let me rest for an hour but then as a punishment i had to climb an eight foot tall poll and stand on it for an hour and if that wasnt hard enough, master would throws objects at me it six hours to finish the punichment but wrose part wasnt the punishment it was everytime i would fall master would catch and the look of disappointment in his eyes." i said
"That sounds harsh." optimus replied
"It wasn't all that bad, even though he was hard, he was understanding." I said, i gave a small smile "one time when i was six or seven, i had a really bad nightmare it was four or five in the morning and i didnt want to wake up master or wheeljack, so i quietly started walking around and at some point, master wake and started following me at some point after awhile he got my attention and asked me what's wrong so i told what happened with shisui and too my surprised me he transformers and we took off into the air and when we got to the edge of breathable air, master transformed and we dropped it felt so freeing and quite where all you could hear was the wind, at point the sun created the horizon and instead of it being hot it felt warm, i look to master and he was right there with me, he too was enjoying the sunlight. The only time he left me was when I earned my stripes and became the Shinigami shadow, it was the proudest moment of my life and the saddest because my master had to leave but he told me he would return in six years which is only a few weeks away."
"What did you mean by "my arm is covered in earth." A new voice I looked turned around and arced was there.
I rub my left arm "When I was in training, my master was teaching me about explosive and everything was going good until the last day where I was using live explosive and everything was fine until I got to the last step and tripped the detonator, I had just enough time to turn away but my arm, chest was damaged my arm had to be amputated I was an inch from death" I took my shirt and on my right side was a blue and gold tattoo and left was a mental arm with skin color arm sleeve and metal chest-plant "master ran me to his ship and worked on me for seven hours gave me a cybertronian arm and had to rebuild my chest and he a piece of his sparks in order to save my life it took me a week to wake up and seven months to get back into fighting shape and another three months to get back where I was before, that's how I can live with dark energon in my veins."
"Speaking of which, how can you use dark energon in ways Megatron can't?" Arcee asked
"Because Megatron and Starscream stole unicron power, so they can use 10% of unicron power, while unicron gave me the power unicron power and he allows me maybe 50%." I replied
"So who was your master?" Arcee asked
"Sorry arcee can't say but he'll be on planet side in a couple of days you can meet him then."
Later that night
Arcee drove me back after a long day. We both need some rest but Arcee didn't say a word "What's wrong arcee." I asked
"I don't understand why you don't trust us." Arcee said
"Arcee, what would you do to protect the most important person in your life?" i asked
"I would fight as hard as I can." arcee replied
"I have never heard my dad's voice and he was always on missions, my master was the man that raised, taught me how to be a ninja and he saved my life, he taught me about life and the price of death."
"I understand, I think, he raised you so feel you have to protect him." arcee said
"That's one way to say it." I replied when we got home.
The next day
After a good night's rest when we got to the base bumblebee was telling us how we nabbed a device called the spark extractor and we were enjoying the story, the best part was when he took right from king con's nose but bee and bulkhead had to leave but when they came back bee couldn't transform.
When bee grandbridge back base and ratchet scanned him and on the surface was fine
Raf ran up to the ratchet "you can fix him right?"
"Bumblebee was hit pretty hard, the stun blast my have fried his t-cog."
"Whats a t-cog?" raf asked
"Is that like a T-bone?" miko asked
"Think of it like a kidney but it allows cybertronian to transform, it allows them to transform into cars or allows their arms to transform into weapons." i replied
"You are correct jack."replied optimus said
"Bye the allspark, bumblebee's t-cog isn't damaged, it's missing." ratchet said finishing his scans,
we all were shocked by that, But i was confused "but that didn't make any sense the con's transform too, why would they take that."
"Megatron may be known to raise zombies but he's no ghoul's." ratchet replied
"If it wasn't megatron then who was it?" raf asked
"The ones who cannibalized breakdown." bulkhead replied "and tried to gut me." arcee said
"Mech and it would appear their knowledge of cybertronian biotech has grown more sophisticated." ratchet said
"Jack." i heard arcee speak up so i turned to her "do you think MARS or cobra has something to do with this?" she asked
I thought it over "cobra maybe but it sounds like something MARS would do and i fear they would try to replicate the t-cog and use it to roll and new group of transforming robots." I shudder at the thought.
":Optimus, let's head out and find my t-cog."
But optimus stopped him "bumblebee please you are currently equipped to handle this." Optimus replied
":Dad, you don't know what it's like to lose a part of yourself.:" Bumblebee replied
"That is where you are wrong. I do know what it's like to lose a vital part of one's self, and as a result pulled the value of pulling one faith in the strength of the one's around you, we value to do everything in our power to make you whole again."
"And if not ratchet can make you a new cog thing right." miko said trying to be helpful but failed miserably.
":you have got to be kidding me:." bumblebee said as he sat down with his head in his hands
"Miko, a t-cog is a bio-mechanism not a scrap yard find, if it was that easy i don't you thing i would have replaced bumblebee voice box bye now." ratchet explained
":you just had to bring that up, first I lost my voice, now i lost the ability transformers.:" bumblebee said ":i'm unless.:"
"You're not unless." raf said running up to bumblebee
"Alright, alright I say that none of us transform until bumblebee get's his cog back." bulkhead said trying to be helpful like miko.
"Your sparks in the right place bulkhead but now i don't think now is the time to be limiting ourself." arcee said
"Not with megatron potentially seeking other doomsday devices." optimus said, agreeing with arcee "and i fear not while uses bumblebee t-cog for their known sinister purpose."
