EDGE OF THE AUTOBOT BASE; ARCEE'S POINT OF VIEW
I drove to the edge of the base and quickly transformed. It was a few miles away from the structure I'd just left. I was going to go for a drive, but all the sudden felt real weak. And I was also a little bit nervous after what had happened. After transforming I nearly passed out when a certain little mech ran up a caught me.
"Where did you come from?" I asked, looking up at him with a giggle.
Bumblebee shrugged, "I came to….make sure…you didn't get hurt…with your life force being….so low." He said, setting me on the ground.
I sat down on the strange earth, It was so different then the ground on Cybertron, and wrapped my arms around my legs. I looked up to watch the sunset, but just got lost in my thoughts. "So you came here just to catch me when I started to fall?" I teased him. Bee nodded and sat down next to me. Half of me really wanted to lean into him like I did that one time on the roof. But I couldn't get myself to do it.
"You okay?" The scout asked me.
"Just thinking," I answered.
Just tell him! Half of my CPU yelled at me.
No! Show no emotion, none at all! Someone could get hurt! HE could get HURT! Could you live with yourself if you did something to him? The other half of my CPU yelled. Apparently it yelled louder because that was the half I listened to.
Bee sensed my uneasiness and grabbed my cheek plates, Turing my head towards his, forcing me to look him in the optics. His optics pleaded me for an explanation, and I couldn't resist. "Bee I…." I started before being cut off by a speeding Chromia.
"GET AWAY FROM HER YOU TRADER!" Chromia yelled skidding to a stop on my other side and transforming. Bumblebee retaliated by backing up with his servos up.
I stood up, Bee had done nothing wrong, though it was obvious that Chromia blamed him for my capture, but I did nothing. Chromia starting hitting him hard on the chassis with her arm swords. I felt horrible, but still just stood there, looking at my feet!
"GO TELL RATCHET THAT I'VE GOT EVERYTHING UNDERCONTROL AND STAY OUT OF ARCEE'S CPU!" She yelled. Bee looked at me, I could feel it. I looked up at him, an emotionless look on my face. I didn't want him here with me, not while I'm in the state I'm in.
He looked back shocked and hurt, and drove away fast. I only sighed, if only I didn't have to do that.
"What was that?" I asked a little hint of anger in my voice.
"I don't trust him," she answered blowing it off. I could feel my energon get hot, so I decided to forget it off as well. I didn't want to get to angry. The last time I got angry, Cybertronians died. Yes they may have been Decepticons but I still killed them.
"Let's go back to base," I said transforming.
"Primus Arcee! Since when were you an El Camino," she asked shocked.
I transformed back to my robot from and showed off. "That's not all that's changed," I said excitedly. I showed her my energon swords, cannons, and face guards along with my many other new features.
"How?" she asked smiling. She already knew the answer
I grabbed both her servos and smiled big. "UPGRADE!" We shouted in unison, jumping in a circle!
"Well, girly! Let's see if your new vehicle mode is faster than mine," she said transforming and revving her smaller engine, begging for a race.
"You're on!" I yelled transforming and racing off, forgetting about my life force once again.
BACK AT BASE; ARCEE'S POINT OF VIEW
We pulled up laughing; of course I had won the race against the two wheeler, even with my energy levels being low. "Looks like we've finally found something Arcee is better at then basketball," Chromia announced transforming at the front of the base.
I followed but felt weak again and almost fell onto my knees. Suddenly two strong arms grabbed mine to help me back up. "Thanks again Bee… Oh thanks guys," I was hoping it was Bumblebee but instead it was Sideswipe and Sunstreaker.
Everyone was in the lounge room in which they sat me down in. Sideswipe sat to my right and Chromia to my left. My father and mother sat in front of me. I looked for Bumblebee, he was as far away from me as he could get. He was sitting with Sam. Ratchet ran up from behind.
"What the frag is wrong with you! Do you want to kill yourself," he yelled at me, but I couldn't help but to smile.
"Lighten up doc bot," Chromia said carelessly, "She was with me. Do you really think I would let her get hurt? Have a seat! The party is about to start." I laughed as he grumbled and walked away.
"Party?" I asked.
"You'll see," she responded.
A few kliks passed before anything happened. I started to doubt my friend when Ironhide stood up. "Attention everybody," he started saying. I face palmed, this was going to one of those long speeches. "As I'm sure you've all heard Arcee has gotten her next upgrade and special power. Don't worry, as far as we know it only hurts Decepticons," he joked.
"Let's test it on Bumblebee," Chromia shouted as a response. Everyone laughed, not knowing she was serious.
"Anyway," Ironhide said with a glare, "She only has one more upgrade to go, but that won't happen until she earns the Matrix of Leadership. But as far as I'm concerned she has earned the title PRIME! This is in celebration of her maturity! She is now ready to be a warrior! But I want to be the first one to put her Energon swords to the test," he joked again.
"You sure about that?" I asked teasing him. Everyone laughed.
"Don't forget she is now mature enough to find a spark mate too," Sideswipe added seductively looking at me. All the mechs looked at me too, but I only looked at Bumblebee. He was trying to avoid eye contact. I cringed at the fact that had hurt him. I started to be able to feel everyone's energon flow thru their wires, like I could before I created the explosion. The feeling almost made me sick.
My father glared at the mech to my right. "Umm yes well congrats Airreon," He said grabbing my servo. I gave it a squeeze! I knew he was proud of me, and if it wasn't for Bee being upset and that sickly feeling I would be the happiest femme in the universe right now.
"Let's do that Earth custom that Sam taught us! Cheers, to a new Prime," my mom added. Everyone raised their energon and drank! Yummm it was good.
SAM AND BUMBLEBEE; THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIEW
Sam and Bumblebee were part of the party, though they didn't act like it. They stayed away from the rest of the crowd, and while Sam made some small conversations with the other mechs and congratulated Arcee, Bee didn't really talk to anyone, not that anyone wanted to talk to him. Most were still angry at him and Bee thought that Arcee had totally showed her feelings when Chromia attacked him.
I cannot believe she rejected me like that, I thought she was starting to like me! Though maybe she was too weak to fight, or maybe…
Bee thoughts were cut off by Sam nudging him in the arm, "Hey did you hear that? Arcee is ready to spark mate! Isn't she the one you liked?" He asked the bot with smile.
Bee made an annoyed beeping sound and crossed his arms
"What?" Sam asked.
"She doesn't like me…and she made it clear….ugh I knew I….shouldn't gone for a Prime," Bumblebee pouted.
"Come on Bee! I know she like you! Goodness you are so insecure! But what did she do that makes you think she doesn't like you?" Sam responded.
"She just doesn't…okay!?" He answered angrily.
"Okay, okay. Just remember, she's been through a lot lately. She'll come around. She might even be trying to protect you. Just don't give up," Sam said with a smile. Bee nodded though he was very pessimistic.
LATER; ARCEE'S POINT OF VIEW
I was back on the roof watching the sunset. I couldn't take how Bee wasn't talking to me! I didn't mean to hurt him. I just don't feel like I am safe to be around. I don't trust myself. Today at the party I could feel everyone's energon flowing thru their bodies. I could feel their weak and strong spots. I knew I could kill anyone of them, especially using my special power. Though I didn't know how to control that power, which was the scary part. They think they're safe because I only hurt the Decepticons last time but I think differently. And if I hurt my family, including Bumblebee, I don't think I could live with myself. I don't think I'm quite ready to be a Prime. Prime, that's what everyone was calling me tonight. Prime this, Prime that. 'Hey Prime I cannot wait to test your skills' and 'Were going to have the Decepticons on the run with Optimus and Arcee'. I mean seriously, was all I was to them? A weapon?
I jumped down and started walking to my quarters when I heard Bumblebee. He was playing the song What Hurts the Most by Rascal Flatts. I felt so bad. I stopped outside his door. I could fell his energon, again, only this time it felt warm. I assumed it was from him being so angry. I wanted to walk in there and apologize and either tell him the truth or make up some Bull Shit excuse but couldn't get myself to. All the sudden the music stopped and I ran to my quarters, even though Ratchet wanted me to recharge in the med bay so he could watch over me and my life force. I however, actually wanted a GOOD recharge.
The next Day
I woke up to Ratchet pounding on my door. "COME ON AND WAKE UP. Since you didn't want to recharge in the medical bay like I so kindly asked, now you have to wake up so I can check your LIFE FORCE, which I could've done while you were recharging if you had decided to sleep where I wanted you to," He yelled.
I opened the door and rubbed my optics, "Whatever grumps. Like most bots I cannot sleep on that hard berth like you can," I teasingly mumbled. Sometimes he worked for so long that he fell into recharge there.
"Come on PRIME, we need to give you a quick physical scan if you want to do training again," He said. I cringed at the word Prime but followed him none the less. Like I had a choice anyway, by the time I realized what happened he had grabbed by servo and dragged me into the medical bay.
Unfortunately Bee was in there too! He was getting his chassis checked out because apparently Chromia really hurt it. Luckily it was something Ratchet could easily fix.
"Both of you should've come to me yesterday," Ratchet complained, "Bumblebee, your free to go."
"See you at practice," I said to Bumblebee kindly, but he just blew me off and walked away. Not that I could blame him.
"Actually you should be seeing everyone at practice. Everybot, big and small, want to see you use your new weapons! I will be there too, but for purely medical reasons," he said starting the scan.
"So…am I okay to go. I cannot disappoint my fans," I said a little anxious to go out there and show them what a Prime could do. They want a weapon? Well that's exactly what they're going to get.
"Fine, but let me know if you're feeling sick," he said a kind and generally concerned look on his face.
"Yes, yes!" I said running out the door, "see you at the training arena." I could hear him sigh and chuckle before I exited the room. For a Prime I was pretty crazy.
When I ran up in the training arena everyone was already there. "Where have you been Prime?" Ironhide asked.
I pointed at Ratchet, he was walking thru the door. I assumed he wouldn't care; he was used to being blamed for things. I was right too. All that Ratchet did was shrug and say, "she needs a physical scan."
I laughed and how he didn't care at all, but Ironhide just scowled. "Well then missy, let's see what you got," he challenged me. I smiled as we both got into the defensive position. He was finally going to know that he wasn't the toughest bot like he thought.
My face guards came out causing and 'ooo' form the crowd. I lunged at him first with my energon swords. He tried to defend himself with his arm, which had his biggest cannon on it ready to shoot. I quickly deflected it though and shot him on the shoulder plate with my cannons. Then I shot him by the feet. He started to fall when I ran behind him and kicked his back, pushing him up right again. He shot at me with his cannon, but I jumped out of the way. Now I was in his face, beating the scrap out of him with my swords. Soon Ironhide fell on his back. He was leaking a little bit of energon. I finished the fight by pointing my sword at his throat.
"You older mech cannot compete against my strength, agility, speed and power like you used to be able too," I laughed. Even Chromia, who was helping her 'boyfriend' up, was laughing at how easily beaten he was.
EVEN RATCHET CHUCKED at the sight. "I thought Arcee was the one who was going to need medical attention, not you," he said.
"Yeah well I was going easy on her! Who else would like to try to fight against Miss Prime here," he said.
All the sudden Bee was standing in the middle of the arena with a little help from Chromia.
Everyone laughed but we were serious. As we started to walk in a sparring circle I thought how I didn't want to hurt him like I had my trainer when all the sudden I was shot!
"AHH," I screamed. Bumblebee was smirking. Though was in a lot of pain! He had hit me right near my previously severed wire was, causing it to create sparks. "Ow man that really hurt what is your problem?"
"You're a….Prime right? You should be able….to take it!" he shrugged.
So much anger filled my body. I could feel my energon run hot before I yelled, "IS THAT ALL I AM TO YOU BOTS? A PRIME! IS MY ONLY USE TO BE STRONG AND KICK AFT? WELL SCREW YOU TOO!" All the sudden I could feel his energon, and all his weak points strongly. My eyes lit up with a bright blue light. And then an explosion went off right underneath him, scorching his feet, which had always been one of his weak points after his legs got blown off by Starscream in 2007.
A blue wind was cascading from my body after it happened. Everyone gasped, even Bumblebee who was no lying on the floor oozing energon. All the sudden it hit me, I CAUSED THE EXPLOSION! After that I pretty much flipped! I knew I wasn't safe. I started to back up as everyone (even Chromia) ran to his aid. My mom tried to comfort me when I turned and drove away! I was going to get out of here so I couldn't hurt anybody else I cared about. I was going to drive until I ran out of energon and then drive another hundred miles after that!
THIS WAS THE MOST COMPLICATED CHAPTER I'VE WRITTEN SO FAR. CHAPTER 10 IS COMING VERY VERY SOON! IT WAS ACTUALLY PART OF CHAPTER NINE BUT BECAUSE I WANTED TO UPDATE TODAY AND BECAUSE IT WAS GOING TO BE SOOOO LONG, I DECIDED TO SPLIT IT UP…AGAIN! ANY WAY THE NEXT CHAPTER WILL GET REAL FLUFFY…I THINK. THINGS DON'T ALWAYS GO AS PLANNED SO YEAH!
LUV YOU GUYS! KEEP READING AND KEEP REVIEWING.
