Chapter 1

JASPER NEVADA

"Hey mom." Jack said "I'm back from my martial arts class."

"Oh that terrible April." Jack heard June say

"Mom? is something wrong?" Jack asked coming in to see his mom put down the phone.

"Oh. Jack sorry I didn't hear you come in." Jun answered "Yes there is something wrong, April's father was kidnapped."

"Really?!" Jack asked.

"Yes and I'd like to go out and stay with her but I can't leave the hospital." June said

"why not just let me go? I'm on vacation and my boss will understand why I won't be able to go to work." Jack asked

"Are you sure you'd be able to do that jack?" June asked.

"Mom, I'm part of an intergalactic war, I've seen zombies, mercenaries, drones, escaped a collapsed mine, fought and beat a living war ship powered by the blood of the cybertronian devil, and I've been studying kung fu for more than ten years, I'm already a fourth degree black belt. I think I can handle new york." Jack argued.

"Fine I'll call April and tell her to expect you to be there some time in the next three days but how will you get there?" June asked

"the groundbridge, I'll wait three days then take the groundbridge." Jack said.

"Fine but see if Arcee can go with you just to be safe." June said.

"Fine mom, I'll tell everyone when I head to the base." Jack explained

"Ok see you later sweetie." June said.

AUTOBOT BASE

"And that's the story" Jack said as he finished explaining the situation to the whole base.

"Wow I'm sorry for your cousin." Raph said.

"Its ok raph somehow I know we'll find him." Jack said. "But do we have an agreement?"

"Yes jack." Optimus said "When she isn't needed Arcee will be with you in New york."

"Thanks Optimus, is that okay with you cee?" Jack asked

"Sure it is Jack." Arcee said. "When do we leave?"

"Well a standard trip from Nevada to New york is about a week, so we should mail my cloths today, then wait a week, and take the groundbridge." Jack said.

"Alright partner, shall we head back to your house and get ready?" Arcee said transforming int her alt mode.

"Yep" Jack answered getting on and putting on his helmet then the two drove out of the base and onto the road home.

ONE WEEK LATER

One week passed by in a snap, and it was time for jack and arcee to head to new york.

"Bye guys see you soon." Jack said.

"later jack oh and see if there are alligators in the sewers." Miko said.

"Miko there aren't any alligators in the sewers." Jack said.

"what about that news report we saw on ninja's?" Miko said.

"There aren't any ninja's either." Jack said "It was just some prank done by someone to get attention."

"Fine if you say so." Miko said as the groundbridge started up.

"Bye everyone."Jack said as he and arcee headed out and appeared in a back alley of New York city.

"So where does your cousin April live" Arcee asked.

"according to this right around the corner." Jack said as the drove and arrived at April's house.

Jack parked Arcee on the curb and went and knocked on the door. Two minutes later April answered it, she look like she had been crying.

"Hi jack its good to see you." April said pulling him into a hug

"Hi April nice to see you to." Jack said returning the hug "Are you ok?"

"yeah all things considered." She replied. "Your things arrived yesterday. Is that bike yours"

"Yep cool isn't she?" Jack said

"yeah she- wait she?" April said

"Yes she bikes, boats there always she." Jack said

"Okay if you say so." April said smiling.

"There's that smile." Jack said. "Now I'm starved."

"Well I haven't made anything." April said

"April let me do the cooking today." Jack said

"since when can you cook?" April asked

"Good point." Jack said. "I have an idea why don't we go out to eat? We can take my bike."

"Okay sure I know the perfect place." April said. "But it isn't very far only about two blocks so we don't need to."

"Okay lead the way." Jack said.

"Wait aren't you afraid that someone will steal your bike?" April asked

"Nope, trust me on this april, no one can steal her." Jack said. "Now come on I'm starving."

The two set off to the restaurant april mentioned, when they turned down an alley they were stopped by four thugs.

"Sorry but to go this way it will cost you each your wallets." One said brandishing a bat.

When they turned around two more came out blocking the other way.

"It'll cost you the same to go this way." The other said who was holding a six foot pipe.

"or option three." Jack said. "We keep our wallets, and you leave."

"Why would we do that." The one with the pipe said poking him in the chest.

"so you don't get beat up." Jack said grabbing the pipe and knocking the guy out with it.

The other three were about to charge him but then he twirled the pipe like a baton and threw it into the air, while their attention was on that jack ran forward and delivered swift punches to their stomachs causing them to collapse. Jack stood over them with a satisfied look and jokingly asked.

"So can we go now?" The thugs just lay on the ground and groaned "Thats what I thought. Come on cous. Lets go get dinner pounding the snot out of these guys made me even hungrier."

They ate at a noodle shop called 24/7 run by a blind japanese man, the ramen was delicious. and april wouldn't stop talking about what I had done.

"I still can't believe you did that!" April said. "It was amazing! Where did you learn that?"

"I take martial arts classes." Jack said "Gotta do something to pass the time in jasper. I've always had a knack for that I guess."

They ate dinner and went back to april's house to get some sleep.

"New york isn't so bad." Jack said to april before going into his room. "Night April."

"Goodnight Jack." She replied going into her room, she looked out the window worriedly not knowing if jack would be safe or not but she didn't need to thanks to the alien guardian parked on the curb.

Well thats it for chapter one tell me what you think.

Until we meet again!
