The evil side of Prime
Chapter 6: Recognize the enemy: Optimus Prime
Sideswipe and Sunstreaker felt so successful so far. They had not only the easily persuade Jazz but also Prowl and Red Alert. They needed a plan though, as Prowl put it. They never really planned things out. Against Optimus this was practically war. Optimus was a master at planning and strategy…so long as he had his team. Who knew what Prime could do in a twisted prank driven craze without a crew backing him up?
"What should we do, oh kings of pranks," huffed Prowl.
"First things first," nodded Sideswipe.
"Which is?" Red Alert whispered.
"Get to know the enemy," offered Sunstreaker.
"We've done this enough to know a lot of interesting things about the crew," smirked Sideswipe.
"Like?" Prowl mumbled, slightly worried about the two in the private data base information.
"Oh nothing too important," shrugged Sideswipe.
"Simple things like Ironhide works out at 1730 on the dot," offered Sunstreaker.
"Or Bumblebee liked to play Tetris," chuckled Sideswipe.
"Or you go for a walk at 0600," finished Sunstreaker, motioning to Prowl.
"How do you…?" gasped Jazz.
"We watch," nodded Sunstreaker.
"Wait," added Sideswipe.
"And anticipate," finished Sunstreaker.
"WWA," mumbled Sideswipe. "Does that make sense?"
"Shut up, you bone heads!" ordered Prowl. "We need to plan!"
"Well, we've kept some note about Prime," Sunstreaker offer to appease Prowl's anger.
"Like what?" Red Alert asked, perking up slightly.
"What could you possibly have on Prime that everyone else doesn't know?" Jazz huffed.
"Prime goes for a walk before recharge, always!" offered Sunstreaker.
"He always confronts Teletraan about trouble before going out," nodded Sideswipe.
"He gets up in the middle of the night sometimes," Sunstreaker shrugged.
"He's been complaining about a wonky shelf for the past two weeks," mumbled Sideswipe.
"Sometimes he confuses people's names but they never notice," sighed Sunstreaker.
"Wow…" whispered Jazz.
"How!" ordered Prowl.
"WWA!" cheered Sideswipe.
"We watch, wait and anticipate," nodded Sunstreaker.
"We just need to use these little facts," nodded Prowl.
"To our advantage," finished Red Alert.
"How?" asked Sunstreaker.
"Really? You're going to ask how?" Jazz snapped.
"We've never made a plan before," admitted Sunstreaker.
"We're more of a go with the flow kind of people," explained Sideswipe.
"Whatever," huffed Prowl. "You're just lucky that I'm the strategist around here and on your side."
"Great," Sunstreaker nodded.
"Let's get started," Sideswipe added.
"Alright…" smirked Prowl. Yes, Prowl smirked. "Here's the plan…"
A/N
Will they outdo Prime? Does Prime know they're on to him? If so, is he planning? Who will win this battle of wits and pranks?
