A/N:- I do not own any transformers characters, only my OC's. Enjoy!
Also, there are quite a few songs mentioned in this chapter. The song choices may seem random but only because I actually put my phone on shuffle whilst writing this XD.
Chapter 7:Power and Bets
I had decided to use my brilliant plan after 'Bee messes up. That didn't take too long, though, and he was now being held upside down by a couple of mechanical arms. He had attempted to use 'stillness and strike' but was crap at it.
I jumped down and legged it towards the music player, where my phone was still plugged in, also freezing when the lasers targeted me. Well, as fast as I could go with a bullet in my leg.
When I got there I turned on my phone, and because everything in the room was operational, it quickly started blaring out music.
I smirked when I recognised the song as 'Misery Business' by Paramore.
Looking up, I noticed that the mechanical arms were on the fritz. All of them except the ones holding Prowl and Bumblebee.
"Megatons gunna be pissed." I muttered, before continuing over towards the controls. Unfortunately I got whacked by one of the arms and was sent flying into a wall. As I slumped down I could hear Prowl faintly crying my name. See, that's the downside to spazzy mechanical arms. They couldn't control themselves.
Once the dizziness stopped I stood back up and the song changed to 'Livin la Vida loca' by Ricky Martin.
"JUST GET TO THE FRAGGING CONTROLS!" Ratchet grouchily shouted. It didn't take a scientist to know that he was pissed.
Sighing, I flipped over two pairs of mechanical arms, causing them to clash and explode. A couple lines of lyrics were then sang out.
She'll make you live her crazy life
But she'll take away your pain like a bullet to your brain. Come On!
I actually grinned, but hid it from the 'bots, not wanting to show off my soft side. I started humming the chorus as I dodged continuous attacks.
Upside, inside out she's livin la vida loca
She'll push and pull you down, livin la vida loca
Her lips are devil red and her skin's the colour mocha
She will wear you out livin la vida loca Come On!
Livin la vida loca, come on!
She's livin la vida loca.
The song soon ended and changed to 'I am all of me' by Crush 40. Huh, it's one of the songs I sung in front of that crowd a couple days ago.
I was slow to catch on that the arms had stopped spazzing and were now all aiming at me. I knew I wouldn't survive the attack. I don't want to, but im going to have to.
I will have to use one of my powers. I stilled and closed my eyes, sensing the attack.
(IMPORTANT NOTE! The writing which is like this is happening whilst the lyrics are sung, ya get my jist?)
Can you see all of me?
Walk into my mysteries?
My feet left the ground as the mechanical arms became surrounded by a faint light blue. I hummed quietly as the arms started attacking each other.
As my feet landed softly back on the ground, all of the 'bots were staring at me, wide eyed, their jaws hanging open. Heck, even Bulkhead somehow found room to tilt his head towards me. I ignored their flabbergasted looks and jogged over to the controls and smashed them (backflip).
Once I destroyed the controls the ground shook slightly from where Prime, 'Bee and Prowl fell back to the ground.
The 'bots were now all standing up and staring at me. I directed my attention to where there was a glowing light. My eyes widened at what I saw.
"Uhhhh….guys…" I trailed off. It obviously didn't take them too long to catch on.
"THE OIL DRUMS GONNA BLOW!" Optimus yelled. Prowl got out his shurikens and threw them, knocking the oil drum off of its stand. Optimus grabbed it with his grapplers, yanking it towards Bulkhead, who punched it out towards the broken glass window on the ceiling. I helped Ratchet, who used his electromagnetic thingy to push it out into the sky, where it then exploded harmlessly. I sighed in relief, and then cringed when the pain in my leg came back.
"What the hell caused that?" Bumblebee exclaimed, flailing his arms. Just then a tiny metal spider crawled past him, but Prime picked it up.
"Well whatever it was it was smart enough to merge the security motion sensors with the assembly line." Ratchet commented.
"I think this might be the culprit." Optimus said, gripping the metal spider in his hand. Prowl walked forwards and leaned in to examine it.
"A robotic design merging organic and mechanical. Fascinating."
I had always found it amusing whenever ninja bot use his catchphrase, and now was no exception. I smirked.
The thing then jumped from Primes gentle grip and started scurrying off.
"Catch it, we need to examine it!" Optimus said. I was about to go after it when a certain green bot nearly ran me over. Luckily Prowl had got me in time. I sat in the palm of his hand as Bulkhead leaned down to get the robo spider.
"Got it!" He exclaimed, lifting his hand up, though he had squashed the thing instead. He rubbed the back of his head sheepishly.
"Right, examine it."
"Are you alright?" I jumped at the voice, my body tensing. I turned to face Prowl and shrugged.
"Oh, im fine. I just got a bullet in my leg, no big deal." I retorted, sarcasm leaking in my voice. I supressed a shiver as Ratchet scanned my injury.
"Im going to have to remove the bullet from your leg so that it will heal faster." Ratchet said, stepping closer. I held my hands up.
"Don't worry, I can get it out." I assured. Closing my eyes, I concentrated as the bullet became surrounded by a faint blue light and was yanked out of my leg. I hissed in pain, but already felt better. I reopened my eyes and the 'bots were staring at me with awe, again.
"How did you do that?" Prowl whispered, finding his voice.
"Telekinesis." I replied reluctantly. They all gave me confused glanced. I huffed in frustration.
"It's where I can move anything using my mind." I briefly explained.
"Is that the only power you have?" Ratchet asked. I breathed a heavy sigh.
"Yes it is." I replied. I just prayed that the 'bots didn't have built in lie detectors, coz if they did, then im fucked.
"Alright, let's get out of this room." Prime eventually said. I felt so relieved. Everyone agreed with him and we left the room of horrors, walking towards the living room. My heart warmed at the sight of Sari sleeping on the massive couch. She had a blanket over her and was curled up into a ball.
However, when I looked away, I caught the girl opening her eyes, faking to be asleep, from the corner of my eye.
"Prowl can you put me down, please." I quietly asked. Ninjabot reluctantly placed me onto the ground, and I crept over to the 'sleeping' form.
I elegantly jumped onto the metal couch and kneeled down beside her. She didn't even twitch. I leaned towards her ear.
"I know your awake, Sari." I whispered. When she still didn't budge I poked her ribs a couple of times, which made her falter in her trick as she was sent into a giggle fit.
I smirked triumphantly as I stood back up.
"Aurora, how did you know that I was tricking you guys?" Sari asked me. I tapped the side of my nose and turned to face the 'bots, whom were watching the scene in amusement. I vaguely heard Sari huff behind me. 'Bee suddenly jumped and turned towards Prowl, pointing a finger at him.
"I challenge you to a twister match!" He exclaimed. Prowl rolled his optics but seemed to contemplate this.
"Alright then, you're on." He finally agreed. Sari whooped and walked forward.
"Let the challenge begin."
(Sometime later…)
It had been approximately 45 minutes since 'Bee and Prowl started playing twister, and it looked like neither of them were going to give up soon.
"Right hand on orange!" She called to Bumblebee, in which he did with ease. Sari then leaned closer to me.
"I bet 'Bee will win."
I smirked. I liked making bets, they were fun.
"I bet Prowl will win." I replied, feeling rather confident.
"Loser has to do whatever the winner tells them to do for the whole of tomorrow." Sari stated. I nodded and concentrated back on the game at hand.
"Prowl, left foot on green!" Prowl did as told, but 'fell', making 'Bee the winner. I scowled. It was pretty obvious that he did it on purpose, and it got proven when he sent a mischievous look in my direction. Sari jumped up and down along with Bumblebee.
"I win the bet!" She giggled. I sighed but wasn't going to deny it, even if Prowl cheated, I wasn't one to back down from a dare.
"Okay, what do I have to do?" I asked. She leaned towards me and whispered into my ear. My eyes widened at her words.
Oh, Prowl is SO dead…..
(The next morning…..)
"Do I have to?"
"Yes."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"Can't you change the dare?"
"No."
I grumbled and ushered Sari out of my room. The little brat was smirking, knowing I'd given in. I got the clothes that im being forced to wear and walked into my bathroom, locking the door.
(Prowl's POV)
I was meditating in the corner of the main room, ignoring the obnoxious 'bot nearby who was wasting his time playing 'video games'. Why would someone want to waste their lives inside on electrical things than enjoy the fascinating nature which lies outdoors?
I then finally relaxed, heaving a heavy sigh.
"HIYA GUYS!"I winced. Of course, Sari was louder than any video game Bumblebee has played since he brought them. I did, however, look over to see if Aurora was with her. My shoulders slumped slightly when I realized she wasn't. Bumblebee turned to Sari, beaming.
"Sup, Sari. Where's Aurora?" He asked. Sari smirked deviously.
"Oh, she will be here in a minute." This left me confused. What did she do?
I then remembered their 'little' bet yesterday, and the corner of my mouth twitched upwards. I perked up when my audio receptors picked up on a voice in the corridor outside the main room.
"Sari, I am sooooo going to kill you!" Aurora hissed. I silently snickered.
"AND YOURE NEXT NINJA BOY!" She then yelled, probably already knowing that I would be in here.
When she walked in my optics widened and my spark skipped a beat. Bumblebee's jaw dropped.
Aurora was wearing a tight, black, strapless dress which ended a short way from her knees. She was scowling at Sari with she turned the death glare on me, her eyes narrowing. She turned away when Bumblebee wolf-whistled.
"Lookin' hot!" He exclaimed, winking. Without even thinking I quietly growled. Sari's eyes brightened and she turned to me.
"What do you think, Prowl?" Such an innocent question, but I felt my faceplates heat up as I looked away. I could feel her curious glance on my back but I shrugged it off.
Once I comprehended what had just happened I resisted the urge to facepalm. Why was I acting like this? Aurora was only wearing a different set of clothes, for Primus sake!
But it did make her look-
"Prowler got a crush on Aurora!" I growled at the nickname Bumblebee had given me and stalked off, 'accidently' hitting him on his helm. Sari giggled and Aurora smirked, folding her arms over her chest.
"You deserved that, 'Bee."
(Aurora's POV)
I knew I looked bad, but was the dress really horrid?
Prowl's reaction had slightly bugged me, and I didn't know why. Never bothered me before what the ninjabot opinions of things were.
Of course, Bumblebee's compliment pissed me off. He's such a flirt. I thought I heard Prowl growl, but oh well. I had just been able to hide a blush when 'Bee said that Prowl had a crush on me.
I smirked when the black and gold mech 'accidently' hit him over the head.
"You deserved that, 'Bee." I said. He glared at me, but I ignored it, turning to Sari.
"I can't wait for this day to end." She grinned. Sari caught me by surprise when she grabbed my arm and dragged me outside. The girl is strong!
"Why did you bring me outside?" I asked when she released my arm.
"Cause, we are going into town!" She giggled. My eyes widened.
"WHAT?" I shouted. Being around the Autobots with the dress on is one thing, going out in public is another.
"You have to, you lost the bet."
I sighed, giving in.
"Fine." I then scowled "Remind me to murder ninjabot later, horribly and painfully." She nodded and we headed off into the city, without any 'bots.
Little did I know a certain 'bot was listening in on our whole convocation.
(Sari's POV)
I congratulated myself mentally. It was all going to plan!
It's blatantly obvious that Prowl likes Aurora, so I made her wear a short dress which shows off her figure and am making her go out in public.
I came outside first because I knew that Prowl would be on the roof. Success!
Then 'Bee comes and ruins everything.
"Hey, where you two going?" He asked. I sighed and looked up at him.
"We were just about to go out into town." I replied. 'Bee perked up.
"Can I come? Ive been itching to check this place out." He pleaded.
"Fine, you can come." Another idea formed in my head and I turned to Aurora, who was smirking, "You can stay here, but you have to keep the outfit on. Understand?"
She nodded her head as she sighed in relief. Bumblebee transformed and I climbed in. He drove off at top speed whilst I whooped.
(Aurora's POV)
I watched as 'Bee and Sari sped off into the distance, a look of confusion plastered onto my face.
"What was…..weird." I muttered, turning around. I nearly jumped when I saw Prowl standing a few feet away from me, his armour glistening in the sunlight. I scowled up at him.
"You are so dead." I threatened.
"Where are Bumblebee and Sari going?" He asked, seemingly ignoring my previous statement.
"I dunno, exploring?" I answered, still a little confused as of why Sari suddenly changed her mind about my going along when Bumblebee came along….
It then all clicked. I may be stupid, but I ain't dumb. The little sod is trying to set me up with Prowl! I growled and clenched my fists. Prowl noticed and looked anxious.
"Are you alright?"
I took a couple of deep breaths and nodded.
"Yeah, let's go back inside."
I was now sure of one thing.
NEVER place a bet on Prowl when he's in hearing range. He WILL lose on purpose.
I apologize for taking so long to update. I have finally revealed one of Aurora's powers :D I had the whole mini plot with the 'bet' on my mind for ages, so I just added it for extra measure. Please R&R!
