Hiya folks lol. How is everyone? Doing good I hope. This chapter is a short but sweet chapter, enjoy!
Optimus could hear the muffling cheers and chatter of Autobots right outside Omega Supreme's door. He held the Magnus hammer in his hand and wore the Matrix necklace Sentinel had given him around his neck, just to be nice, and he thought he looked good wearing it. He turned to his crew. "Ready?"
"If it's the same to you Optimus, I would rather stay here." Arcee blurted. Ratchet turned to her with a confused look.
"Why, Arcee?" He asked and walked over to her.
"Well, I don't feel I did anything. I only made things worse."
Ratchet kept quiet and Arcee studied his face.
"I mean," She continued. "If it wasn't for me, those clones would never had existed and your friend would still be online." She looked down. Ratchet grabbed her shoulders.
"Don't be so hard on yerself, if it wasn't for you , you would have never regained control of Omega Supreme. You sure you don't wanna go out there?"
"I'm sure, but thanks Ratchet." Arcee smiled. Ratchet smiled back.
"Ready, Prime."
Ratchet, Bulkhead, Jazz and Bumblebee took hold of Prowl's casket and lifted it, clearly devastated that they have to. The door opened and the muffles became so loud that the team's audio sensors hurt. They put on the best smiles they had and moved down the conveyor belt down to the ground.
The party died down and the Autobots went on to their daily duties, which meant Prime's team could get some rest. Optimus went to have a stasis nap, Arcee, Ratchet and Jazz were having a chat over some energon, and Bumblebee invited over Jetfire and Jetstorm so they could play video games.
"This is fun!" Jetfire cheered.
"Very fun! What is this game called again?" Jetstorm asked Bumblebee.
"Ninja Gladiator!" Bumblebee replied while Jetfire's fighter beat Jetstorm's
"No fair!" Jetstorm yelped.
"Rematch then, brother!" Jetfire challenged.
"OK!" Jetstorm yelled and tackled Jetfire on the couch. They both fell to the ground and started rolling around.
"Slag yeah! A real fight!" Bumblebee yelled raising a fist in the air.
"Shouldn't we stop them?" Bulkhead whispered.
"No way! We gotta see how this ends!" Bumblebee replied, not taking his optics off the excitement. He got up and ran over to the brothers. "Guys, you're fighting wrong! Here, let the master show you how it's done." He dove in and the three stated rolling around the floor, laughing and making kung-fu noises.
"Hey, Sari," Bulkhead looked over to the teen, who was quietly working on something. She was making a large braid out of yellow, black and orange yarn, there was also a box of beads with letters on them. "wanna play Ninja Gladiator?" Sari put down her project and smiled evilly.
"You're on!"
"Whatcha doin' there?" He looked over to her braid.
"Oh, nothing. Just passing the time." She grabbed the controller. "You are so going down!"
Jazz, Arcee and Ratchet were sitting quietly around a table sipping their energon, lost in thought.
"If ya'll would excuse me." Jazz said and got up, leaving his energon, leaving Ratchet and Arcee alone.
"So…" Ratchet tried to make small talk. It wasn't working well.
"I think now is a good time for you to catch me up on the stellar cycles I missed." Arcee smiled.
Ratchet smiled and began explaining from the beginning.
Jazz entered the extra room in the back, passed three protoforms and stopped in front of a coffin, containing his good friend, if not his best friend. "Heya, Prowl. How ya diggin' the Well of All Sparks?" He put his hand on the side of the casket. "Wish you were here, dog, not the same without you. You know what I think? I think you should be buried were you went off-line. On Earth. I'll wait 'till everyone's together and tell em' my idea." He dropped his hand from Prowl's casket and left the room.
Jetfire, Jetstorm and Bumblebee lay on the floor exhausted from their battle.
"Now… what do… we do?" Jetstorm huffed.
"Well…" Bumblebee smiled, an idea formed in his processor, "what's Sentinel doing right now?"
"Last time we checked he was taking a stasis, why?" Jetfire replied.
"Ever hear of a prank?" Bumblebee smiled like a mad man.
The twins looked at each other nervously.
Optimus woke with a start from his nice stasis.
"Prime! Come here!" Ratchet called out from Omega's cockpit. Optimus lazily made his way over to the ships front room. He looked up at the blinking monitors in front of him.
"Optimus Prime?" A doc-bot appeared on the screen. "I am Ultra Magnus' caregiver. He has insisted on seeing you. Come by ASAP."
"I'll be right over."
"And Optimus Prime? Bring the Magnus hammer." Optimus nodded and turned off the screen.
'Sup homies? Yeah, Optimus is wearing the Matrix, if you look closely at the very end of End Game Part 2, you can see it, he is actually wearing it, and I always wondered, "How did he get that? This is madness!" LOLZ. So yeah.
QUESTION TIME: Suggestions on what Jetfire's, Jetstorm's and Bumblebee's prank gonna be on the sleepin' Sentinel? And what about Optimus' meeting with Ultra Magnus? The old U.M.? Should he become new Magnus? Comment, or whatever you want to call it, review, speculate? What ev's, man. :D
