Hey guys! Italics mean thoughts! (:
"Shhhh!" Bumblebee hushed to Jetfire and Jetstorm. He was holding a can of pink spray paint.
"Are you sure this is alright?" Jetfire asked, looking at his can of spray paint.
"It's only bad if you get caught." Bumblebee smiled deviously. "Okay, we have to do this quickly, but carefully, got that?"
"Yup!" Jetstorm whispered and saluted with his can of spray paint. The three walked into the room Sentinel Prime was in, who was still taking a stasis nap on his berth. The three shook their cans, tip-toed to Sentinel, and started spraying.
Optimus walked into the med bay with the Magnus hammer and was surprised on what he saw. Ultra Magnus was attached to several life support wires and casts. Ultra Magnus turned his head at the sound of Optimus walking in.
"I've been expecting you, Optimus." he said.
"Why did you call me here, sir?" Optimus stopped right beside Ultra Magnus' berth.
"I want to talk to you about the Magnus hammer."
Optimus looked at the hammer in his hand. "What about it?"
"Well," Ultra Magnus choked. "as you can see, Optimus, I am weak. I am afraid I have little time left. That is why I called you here on such short notice." Ultra Magnus took a deep breath, clearly tired. "I want you to be keeper of the Magnus hammer, permanently." The Magnus hammer suddenly glowed a little. Optimus was startled, looking at the hammer with wide optics.
"But, sir, what about Sentinel? He's Magnus." Optimus said, still a little startled.
"Well, that has to change, wouldn't it?" Ultra Magnus managed a small chuckle. Optimus stood, even more startled now. He didn't know what to do. What about his crew? His friends? How about Earth? Earth was more home to him than Cybertron. There were so many questions in Optimus' processor. It took a few nano-clicks for him to answer.
"Sir, I don't know if I can do it."
"How do you mean, solider?" Ultra Magnus sounded surprised.
"Well," Optimus was getting nervous, "I, uh, Earth is my home, and if it's all the same to you, sir, I would rather stay there." Ultra Magnus smiled, which made Optimus relax a little.
"I understand your choice, but the Magnus hammer has chosen it's new master, Magnus or not, that master is you." Ultra Magnus slowly lifted his servo and Optimus took it.
"Sentinel will take care of this planet sir." Optimus smiled. Ultra Magnus smiled back.
"You always look at the good things in life, Optimus. I have complete trust on you, I will honour any choice you make." Ultra Magnus' optics flickered. Optimus tightened his grip on his mentor's hand and looked down to his feet. "And Optimus?"
Optimus took all his strength to look up.
"Turns out I was wrong." He sighed and his colour was fading. "Being a hero is in your programming." The bright blue light slowly vanished from Ultra Magnus' eyes. Ultra Magnus was gone. Optimus let go of the dark grey hand, trying to keep his composure. He gripped his Magnus hammer tightly, took one last look at the offline body that lay before him, and walked out so the doctors could take over.
Optimus walked out of the hospital and noticed someone walking by, Alpha Trion. This could be my chance. He thought to himself. He ran up to him, calling his name. Alpha Trion turned around.
"Yes?" his voice old, but very wise.
"Um, I am Optimus Prime, sir, and I believe you are familiar with Sentinel Prime."
"I am, why?"
"Well, he gave me the Matrix of Leadership and I was wondering… what does it do exactly?" Alpha Trion stoked his beard.
"It lights our darkest hour, but that is an old legend. Now, if you will excuse me." He answered and walked away without another word. Leaving Optimus standing in his mist, lost in thought.
"Perfect!" Bumblebee whispered. He and the twins stepped back to admire their work. All over Sentinel was pink spray painted massages like 'I love organics!', 'Optimus Prime rules!' and 'Con lover!' They also spray painted Sentinel's lance and shield pure pink.
"We are awesome!" Jetfire grinned.
"Okay, now can we get out of here?" Jetstorm looked over to Bumblebee, who had his servos on his waist and smiling. Bumblebee looked back.
"Yeah, okay." He huffed. The three turned slowly and started tip-toeing to the door. "Almost there!" He chanted to himself.
"Just imagine how Sentinel will react when he-" Jetstorm's voice was cut off by the cords below his feet. By instinct, Jetstorm squealed and crashed hard on the floor.
"Hurry! Get up brother!" Jetfire called out and reached out his hand to pull his twin up. Bumblebee was panicking, he was marching on the spot and covered his mouth. Just then they heard a noise from behind.
"What are you doing in my room?" Sentinel Prime stood up. Jetfire pulled his brother up and started backing away slowly. Bumblebee and Jetstorm followed. "What?" Sentinel crossed his arms and looked down.
"DISPURSE! EVERY BOT FOR HIMSELF!" Bumblebee screamed. The three ran to the door screaming and separated in the hall. Jetfire and Jetstorm went left and Bumblebee went right. The muffled sound of Sentinel Prime screaming and cursing made Bumblebee laugh hysterically, until he saw a pink lance fly over his head.
Well! There's another chapter, which came late. Sorry 'bout that, folks. I was really busy during the week. :L I found it kind of funny that Ultra Magnus and Optimus kind of switched spots. Ultra Magnus held Optimus' hand while Optimus was dieing in the movie. LOL. And that Alpha Trion thing? HA! Just a little tid-bit of info there. Why not, right? Thanks for reviewing and adding me or my story to your favourites! Didn't think my story was THIS good! (:
Thanks to autobot fangirl for inspiring me with Sentinel's prank and all who requested her to me. (:
QUESTION TIME!: Should I put any romantic relationships between anyone? If so, who?
