Transformers Prime [REWRITTEN]

¦¦ CHAPTER TWO ¦¦

Back to the Nemesis, Starscream is checking the monitor when he felt another presence from behind, "Soundwave, what is it?" Soundwave's visor showed a green line that suddenly has the recording of Acree and Cliffjumper's previous conversation, "Like Jasper Nevada's a party? We're alone where ever we travel on this rock, Cliff." "Ah, the one called Arcee. Why keep just one Autobot a prisoner..when we still have the advantage of surprise?" The perspective moved to a highest cliff which have Team Prime surrounded in a circle, even the triple-changer is involved.

"We must not allow our anger over the lost of Cliffjumper to impair our judgement. As of today, only we six Autobots remain on this Earth. We owe it to ourselves to the memory of Cybertron, to any Autobots in any galaxies, seeking safe harbour, to humankind. And we owe it to the memory of our fallen comrade, to survive." Arcee gently puts down Cliffjumper's horn on the ground with her face written sadness but Optimus can feel her growing anger inside, "Arcee-" "If Cliff's gone, standing around here.. sulking won't bring him back. So unless anyone minds, I think I'll get back to protecting humankind." She transformed into her alt mode to drive off to privately mourn the loss of her partner, "Optimus, helping humans will only result in more tragedy.." Weapon spoke up while watching his teammate driving off the distance, "Your opinion is noted." The leader replied back to his secretary.

Somewhere in a town of Jasper; a boy from a restaurant spoke to a microphone on top of the drive-in counter's window frame, "Welcome to K.O drive in, where every patty is a knockout. May I take your order?" "Two super combos, extra fries." He nodded and prepared the order, "Okay, dos número two's. Anything else?" "Yeah, some advice; how do I get an awesome job like yours?" His customer laughs alongside with his friends, Jack knew who this boy is and he never liked him. "So that's two, we're not as funny as we think we are. Combos, with a side of 'bite me'." He left a sarcastic note by placing two paperbags on the counter then Vince lets out a laugh before asking, "What'd you say?" "Five fifty nine, sir. At the window." A car pulls up by the window and when Vince took the order, they left without paying Jack the money, "Hey stop!! Have to pay for that!" He weakly punched the counter with his fist afterwards.

Meanwhile for Arcee, she activated her holoform while driving to a town. But what did she not know is she's being stalked by not one but two cars that look identical, they begin to chase her from behind so she moved her rear view, "Twins.." She sped up to park by the nearest building in which the Vehicons drove past her. Arcee adjusted her mirror a couple of times before she deactivate her holoform to rest, "Take five, Sadie." She went offline for a bit until Jack came out of his workplace, his phone rang so he answered. "Hey mom, I just got off. No, I'm not going to the dance..Experience suggests I should never cut a rug. Unless I'm stowing carpet. Be careful? Seriously? This is Jasper.." He then noticed Arcee with awe in his eyes, "I love you...I love you too, mom! I gotta run-" He hung up and went towards the bike in which Arcee moved her view again to see him, "Hello beautiful. Where have you been all my life?" He slowly caressed her seat area until to the back, he even rode on her for a tiny test. "Nice..It may take a few K.O paychecks, but I am gonna own a ride like you someday." That is until someone spoke up, "Are you talking to your motorcycle?" Both of the girls laughed which Jack followed with an embarrassed chuckle.

"My motorcycle? No, I mean- Yes yes! It's mine, but I-I'm not talking, it was to you! I-I am.." Now he feels extra embarrassed, "How's things, Sierra? Take you for a spin sometime?" Arcee then noticed the same Vehicons now approaching slowly to her direction, 'Come on, smooth operator..Wrap it up.' "You know my name?" Jack nodded, "Yeah, we're in the same homeroom together. I'm Jack, Jack Darby." Then three of the teens got flashed by the Vehicons' headlights, "Scrap..!" Sierra and her friend ran away while Arcee tried to drive off with Jack struggling to hang on to her. She drove towards to the cars with one wheel in the air and the other on the ground, it barely scratched both of her sides and the drones' as well but she continued to drove off to safety. "Do not let go!" This startled the boy, "Who said that?!" Before Arcee could say anything, the drones are already at her sides but she slowed down, letting the Vehicons to bumped into each other too slow. This gave her an advantage to flee again. "Commander Starscream, target sighted. Accompanied by a human youth." "Destroy them both!" Back to Arcee and Jack, which they thankfully escaped. "What are you..?!" "I don't exist; tell anyone about me and I'll hunt you down." Jack ran to the opposite direction while she tries to get to base but she saw one of the Vehicons went to where Jack was headed, "Scrap!" She turned around and rev up her engine just to fly above the Vehicon then back on the ground again to get the boy.

The Vehicon is still chasing after Jack, "I don't even know her!" That didn't convince the vehicle as he continue to chase after the human, right on time; Arcee managed to get to Jack's side, "Hop on!" And he did and let the motorbike drive off again. The chase for the Autobot and human is still on so the Vehicons decided to take our their blasters and begin to shoot at their direction, "Why are those guys shooting at us?!" "There's no us, kid. And they're no guys." That made the boy had a question, what did she mean they're no guys? Are they government agents chasing after the bike and he's involved by mistake? Then, a yellow Camaro came to the rescue and bumped into the opposing vehicles then drove back to catch up to his teammate. "Friend of yours?" Although he couldn't see her face, the bike smiled.

"Family."
