Hello! Welcome to the second story in my Transformers Prime series! Yes it's finally here and I'm especially excited because the next story is going to be an awesome one! Also little disclaimer, this story is inspired by Star Saber21's Only Human story; one of my all time favorite fanfictions. I'm not trying to copy his work and I would never dream of doing that. Although, there will be some content that sound familiar so please don't get mad, think of my story as a fanfiction of a fanfiction, if you will :P. Anyways, this will still tie into my entire series and just a heads up, this one's a little lighter and humorous than the other stories.

Other than that, I hope you enjoy Transformers Prime: Another Set of Eyes

Chapter 1

"It's so beautiful, isn't it Jack"

The teen didn't respond right away because he was deep in thought, although after a while he returned back to reality and nodded his head.

Arcee sighed and rubbed the back of his neck with her alloy thumb, making shudder at her touch. He looked up and smiled at her, his sign of friendliness warming her spark.

She smiled back, staring into his black eyes and leaned down, giving him a short, yet rewarding kiss. The two separated and looked out at the sky as the sun went down. Majestic colors filled the air as the giant fireball of light fell behind the mountains in the Nevada desert.

Jack and Arcee lay against the tree on top of their favorite hill, the teen sitting in his giant girlfriends lap as they watched the amazing natural light show.

It's been over a month since MECH had kidnapped Jack, although Arcee still had the experience fresh in her mind. She was torn apart when Jack was gone, her entire life no longer meaning something. Tailgate and Cliffjumper's death put a deep scar inside of her but Jack; if Jack died she just wouldn't be able to live on. Luckily after a brutal battle with MECH and Agent 000, the Autobots were revealed the truth. Agent 000, the ruthless killer without a heart, and Jack were one body, just with two different minds. Jack struggled to regain control over the agent but eventually did with the help of the words of the Autobots who encouraged him to keep fighting. It was also at that time when Arcee confessed her feelings to him; she loved him and loved him with all that she was and will be.

Now, they were together; a slow, but steady relationship that brought them closer every day. It was Jack's choice for them to move slowly, he didn't want to ruin it because of the recent events and Arcee understood that. Although, she could tell that even now, the events that happened a month ago still plague him. Jack has had a... change in personality. First off, he let his hair out longer, no longer the clump that once resided on his head but a nice flow of black hair. He also changed his clothing style, instead of the normal shirt and jeans, he's moved onto wearing a nice black leather jacket with a white shirt underneath. He definitely looked a lot more mature and Arcee found him even more handsome than before, although she kept that to herself.

But the biggest changes weren't the physical ones but the mental ones, and these were the ones Arcee feared the most. Since his capture, Jack was no longer the fun, gentle teen he used to be. Arcee still remembered the times where he would make cheesy jokes or go on funny rants but now, it seemed like all that has pasted by. He was becoming more secretive and mysterious, although he would still make jokes or say something funny that would make Arcee laugh, it wasn't the same. She could tell that he wasn't the same and the fact that he would spend countless hours in his own thoughts made her feel worse.

What's the point of a girlfriend that won't help when she is needed? Arcee had thought to herself. Whenever Jack got into his trance, she would constantly remind him that she was there with him and that any of his problems, they would get through it together. Although, after countless tries and the occasional feelings talk, Jack never told her about his real problems; the ones that bothered and changed him. Arcee had decided that it was best if he told her when he felt like the time was right; she didn't want to pressure him into anything and she knew from first-hand experience that sometimes, you just need to be alone.

Arcee snapped out of her thoughts and turned her focus back to the sunset. She loved to watch Earth's sun rise and go down, something that couldn't be seen back on Cybertron. And now that her and Jack were a couple, she enjoyed every moment even more. The two of them watched in silence as the beauty of nature washed over them.

...

"Bulkhead, Wheeljack! I NEEDED THAT!"

Ratchet furiously stomped over to his broken equipment and started to pick up the broken off parts.

"Sorry doc" Wheeljack quipped as he collected the giant metal ball he and Bulkhead have been throwing around. "Just a miss throw"

"I've told you multiple times Wheeljack don't-"

The medic didn't get to finish because he had ducked just in time for the giant ball to soar over his head and land in Bulkhead's stretched out arms.

"GRrrrrrrrrr!" Ratchet grunted. He peered at his equipment and let out a sigh, it was damaged beyond repair but luckily he had another in his storage vault. He made sure that he was no longer in their way and started towards his equipment vault.

"Wheeljack...!" Ratchet said through his gritted teeth as he crushed the remains of his equipment in his hand.

(Flashback to about a month ago)

Ratchet had just finished repairing all of the Autobots' injuries, although Optimus had sustained major damage from his fight with Agent 000 and needed to be operated on.

Once he was healed, Wheeljack got up from his berth and turned to face the Autobots and their human allies, minus Jack and June who had went to the hospital.

"Well, I just want to say that it's been a heck of a ride but I should probably get going" the wrecker said in a slightly sad tone.

"What? You're leaving?" Miko asked Wheeljack with big puppy dog eyes.

"Come on Jackie, we've already been through so much together. Why don't you stay?" Bulkhead offered his old friend.

Wheeljack took in his words and thought for a moment.

"... I guess if the commander doesn't have any problems with it, I'd love to stay and wreck with the rest of you" the wrecker stated.

Everyone looked over at the Prime who was lying in his berth. He saw them all staring and answered quickly and truthfully.

"Wheeljack" he said, "it would be an honor for you to stay with us. You have demonstrated great strategy and initiative skills in the past week and for that, I thank you."

Everyone's face lightened up at Optimus' words as Ratchet stepped forward to shake the wrecker's hand.

"Welcome to Team Prime Wheeljack" the medic said, shaking his hand. "We're glad you're with us."

(End of the flashback)

Now that Wheeljack has officially joined Team Prime, Ratchet was starting to have doubts about letting him join. One wrecker who destroys his equipment was enough but now two! He was going to need to have back-ups for back-ups.

Ratchet made his way past the medical bay and into the hallway that is secured with a lock and pass code. He continued his walk to the very last door on his right, typing in another set of numbers and waiting a bit before the door slid open. Inside was a large dark room with different equipment that has been collecting dust over the course of its time here. Most of the stuff inside was Cybertronian technology with some being extremely rare and others being known as an antique. The Autobots had to keep this area very secure for this very reason; even the government wasn't allowed near their storage vault. They all understood what would happen if humans got their hands on Cybertronian technology; global warfare, extinction, major consequences, the list goes on and on.

Luckily only and hand few knew the code to the hallway door, nonetheless the pass code to the equipment storage room. The doors were made of a rare and essentially indestructible Cybertronian metal that nothing on Earth could penetrate. It was safe to say that their things were very much protected.

Ratchet threw the broken tech in his hands into a nearby garbage can and started to walk through the equipment vault, searching for the piece he was looking for. Because he was the only one who used any of the equipment, he had designed the room himself, placing everything where he chose to put it. It didn't take long before he found what he was looking for and pulled it off of the shelf. When he brought it closer so he could make sure it was the one, he saw a reflection in the metal. Curious, Ratchet turned around to see what glimmered in the reflection.

The medic walked around a shelf before finding it; a large container almost the size of Arcee. The sides of it were cracked and it looked to be in very bad shape. At first, Ratchet didn't recognize it but after a while, his memory clicked and he quickly grabbed it and made his way back into the command center.

Once he locked up and returned, he saw that Wheeljack and Bulkhead were no longer lobbing and the old medic let out a sigh of relief. He moved to the middle of the room and placed the giant container down on the floor with a thud.

"What's that Ratchet?" Raf asked, looking up from his video game he was playing with Bumblebee.

"Wow!" Exclaimed Miko, recognizing the container immediately. "I remember that container, it's the second relic we got from the Bermuda Triangle!"

"That is correct Miko" Ratchet stated.

"Wait hold on, you haven't opened it yet?" Bulkhead asked curiously, raising an eyebrow.

Ratchet thought for a moment and scratched his chin. "It appears that we have not. We must have been occupied with... other matters at the time and completely over-looked this artifact."

"Well let's crack it open than!" Wheeljack said, excited to see what's inside. "If it's anything like the Apex Armor, it could give us a huge advantage over the 'cons."

Bumblebee beeped in agreement, holding up the Apex Armor that protected him in their fight against Agent 000 and MECH.

"Yes, yes Bumblebee, I know you like the armor put please, put it back in the storage vault!" Ratchet grumbled before addressing Wheeljack. "I believe we should contact everyone to return to base before we continue. It would be best for them us all to see what lies in this container together."

"Alright doc, seems like the normal thing to do." The wrecker quipped before turning to Miko and whispering a joke that made her laugh.

...

Arcee and Jack remained sitting against the tree until the last bit of moving light disappeared behind the desert mountains. Once it was over, Jack turned to face his girlfriend, looking straight into her big blue optics.

"Arcee, why do you like Earth's sun so much?" he asked the two-wheeler.

"Hmmm, well I guess it's because we didn't have one back on Cybertron" Arcee answered. "My planet had two moons and the 'sun' in our solar system was a lot smaller than yours. Most of the time, the moon would cover up the sun and when it turned dark, that's what we would call night time."

Arcee watched her human partner take in her words and became deep in thought, so she continued.

"Earth's sun, is just, wow. It's like I've been reborn, a changed person. When I first landed on Earth, I hated this planet but the sunrise and sunset were the only two things that made me feel like there was something special for me here." She peered down at jack and gave him a loving smile. "Jack, you're that special someone, you make me feel happy in life and give me motivation to keep going. Every since I met you, you changed my world, and I will never forget it."

Jack looked up and smiled back at his girlfriend, rubbing her soft metal cheek with his right hand. "You changed my world too Arcee. I don't know where I'd be or who I'd be if I never saw you in the KO Burger parking lot that day. You are my everything Arcee and you'll always be my everything."

"Oh Jack" Arcee cried, holding back tears. She leaned in and Jack met her lips, the kiss giving them warmth inside and making them feel amazing to know they had each other wherever they went. They held the kiss for a bit longer before Jack was forced to separate for air.

Arcee laughed as her boyfriend breathed heavily. "I'll never understand how you humans need oxygen to live."

"Well maybe you'll turn into a human someday and then you'll understand." Jack replied with a smirk.

"Oh I would hate that" Arcee said with a bit of sarcasm in her voice, making them both share a laugh.

"Come on babe" Arcee said as she transformed into her motorcycle form. "Base sent me a signal to go back so we should probably hurry."

Jack sighed and grabbed his helmet, climbing onto his girlfriend and the two of them drove off. Secretly, he hated when they were called to base because most of the time, it meant that there was a mission for Arcee to go on, leaving him to wait and worry. If he could go on the mission too, it would be fine, but sadly he wouldn't be able to. Another down side to his whole... transformation was that he himself didn't have any enhanced abilities. When Ratchet had discovered this, the medic had created a theory that only when Agent 000 took control, would he have enhanced strengths. Jack was not about to let that killer out just so he could go along with Arcee on a mission. Agent 000 was ruthless and heartless, not caring for anyone or anything except himself. Luckily, in the past month, he hasn't heard anything from him but he has felt strange feelings, telling him Agent 000 was still inside him... somewhere.

Jack snapped out of his thoughts as they neared the secret Omega One base. At a glance it would look like they were headed right into a mountain and if you blinked, you might have missed the secret entrance open up, just long enough for the two of them to slip inside.

The couple drove all the way to the command center where everyone was waiting; even Agent Fowler was there and he was looking very impatient.

"Argh you love birds are so slow, Arcee aren't you supposed to be a fast motorcycle?" Miko complained.

Arcee had heard her, transforming into her bipedal form, knocking Jack onto the ground.

"Ow?" he said as he stood up. Arcee gave him a quick look of apology before turning to the 15 year old girl.

"Are you saying that I am slow?" Arcee asked with a sinister voice, purposely extending the word 'slow' to emphasise her threat. She leaned in closer to the railing, giving Miko a full on death glare which made the girl gulp.

"uh... no! No, no, no! I was... uh... saying you were really fast. Yeah, that's what I meant" Miko stammered as she backed up, raising her arms in surrender.

Arcee's face immediately changed from death threatening to joyful and happy. "Good" she said with a smile before to her spot next to Jack.

Jack looked at her and thought how lucky he was, although Arcee can sometimes be really scary. He mentally took note to never piss off his girlfriend. When he did, he thought he heard a snicker in his head but ignored it.

"So, why are we all getting together Ratchet?" Jack asked the medic.

"This is why" he responded, pointing to the broken container. "This is the second relic we found on our previous mission to the Bermuda Triangle. Because of the events that followed, we were never able to open it and see what was inside."

"Ok cool" Jack said. "Crack it open Ratchet."

Ratchet looked to Optimus who gave him a nod as he walked to the middle of the room where the container lay. "Very well, everyone back-up. Because the container is broken and apparently Miko had activated something, there's no telling what it could do."

Everyone nodded and took a step back while Miko, Raf, and Agent Fowler climber down the ladder to get a better view.

Once everyone was a good distance away, Ratchet picked up the large container and started to open the lid. He gently threw it to the side as he peered inside the container, trying to see what it was. It was too narrow so he reached his hand in to pull it out, although once his hand made contact, the relic started to vibrate and a light started to shine.

"Wow, Ratchet what did you press?" Wheeljack asked taking a step forward to get a better look at the glowing artifact.

"I-I am not certain. All I did was touch it" The medic replied with a shakiness in his voice.

The light started to get brighter which made Ratchet panic. He quickly slid the relic out of the container and placed it onto the ground. The light was too bright for anyone to see what the artifact really was, but one thing was certain; something was about to happen.

"Ratchet turn it off!" Arcee yelled at the medic.

"I can't!" he yelled back. The light started to get so bright, everyone in the room had to shield their eyes. The Autobots tried to get closer so they could turn it off, but it was too late.

The blinding light washed over everyone in the room.

First there was light.

Then there was darkness.
