Mandarin felt a shock from Sparks's hand, unlike static; Red and Orange swirls ran up his arm and began to surround him.
"What the heck?!" Mandarin started to panic.
"I didn't do that! I swear!" Sparks assured.
The swirls quickly surrounded him and electrocuted him back into the cell wall. Chunks of the wall and dust flew around the cell from the impact.
"DUREN!?" Antauri. The others also shouted in concern.
From the creator a bright light filled the cell. Despite his desire to help his brother, Antauri had to shield his eyes from the blinding light. When the light dimmed; Antauri stood confused, and concerned.
"Duren?" Antauri asked, hoping for a response.
"*Cough* Yah…I'm OK." Duren responded.
As Duren climbed out of the smoke, Antauri tilted his head in confusion.
"What? What's wro….." As Duren was gesturing he noticed his arm was a little different, to say the least. His metal arm was a blood red, in fact; all the metal on him turned that color, and even the white crest on his forehead was red. His helmet was a much shinier orange, and his optics faded from black to dark red and his 'pupils' were white not red.
"What…the…HELL!" Duren was kind of freaking out.
"Duren, are you alright?" Antauri slowly approached.
"I feel fine…but why is my cybernetics red?" Duren asked, still a little shaken.
"I don't know, but you're neck cuff is broken." Antauri responded.
Duren bent it further so he would be able to take it off.
"If I monkey mind scream the door, we could get out, but I don't know how to get the cuffs off of the rest of you, I don't have any transformers. If we were to get caught we would likely lose…"
"Don't you have you're sword or something?" Chiro asked.
"No. I never have, it was all in the gloves…" As Duren moved his arms around for a split second a red/orange spark came from his sword hand. Curious he flailed his arm around, it happened a few more time. Antauri quietly observed. Duren decided to try something, he closed his eyes and concentrated on his hand; a red light shot out his hand and crystalized, forming a red sword. (with a handle for better leverage)
"…never mind!" Duren said amazed.
He realized he had to break Antauri's neck cuff. He was a little nervous to say the least, swords aren't made for this kind of job. Antauri tilted his head as far as he could, allowing Duren the ability to rest the sword on his shoulder and prepared to stab the cuff. Antauri looked calm; he had full trust in Duren. Duren carefully lined it up so it would stab the cuff, not Tauri's neck. *SLASH* It was off!
He stabbed his sword into the space between the door and the wall, and slashed the lock and they freed the others.
"What on earth?" Gibson flabbergasted at Mandarins new look.
"Oh! Oh! Duren got an upgrade!" Otto said excitedly.
Everyone looked at him confusedly.
"I always wondered why my metal turned blue years ago…" Tundra added quietly
"You're cybernetics are pink and blue though." Chiro added
"It's just paint." Tundra answered.
"I used to do that…" Sparks added quietly
"It's for racing and stuff, it's actually an icy blue color. It used to be gray like yours but it changed one day when I was trapped in a snow storm. After that I had ice powers."
"You guys can upgrade?!" Chiro asked amazed.
"Well two of us have changed for some reason; so yes, it seems so!" Gibson concluded.
"Cool!" Citrus and Chiro jinxed.
"Well, let's get out of here!" Chiro leaded.
They headed out of the dudgeon.
