Mysteries of a Prime

Speed metal

(Aerialace's P.O.V)

I was coming back from scouting when I saw Arcee and Jack racing a vehicle, I decided to fly overhead of them to see what they were doing, exaclty, as we were never to abuse power for personal gain. "::How's the view up there, Ace?::" Arcee asked, "::Have you forgotten we are not supposed to abuse power, Arcee?::" I reminded her, "::Yeah... but he was asking for it.::" Arcee reasoned, "::That still means it is prohibited against the rulebook.::" I reply, "::Then can this be our little secret? Please?::" Arcee asked, "::I will not say anything unless Optimus asks me specifically.:: I inform her. Arcee then thanked me and I flew off back to base.

I was filling out my report when Arcee and Jack came in, I paid them no mind and continued to fill out my report. "Hey, thanks for keeping this a secret." Arcee thanked me, "Need I remind you that I am not keeping it a secret, I will tell Optimus if he asks, if he does not then I will not tell him." I reminded her.

"Hey, Raf?" Jack asked Rafael, causing him to crash in his racing game, "I-Is there any way I could borrow Bumblebee for an hour?" Jack asked, "What do you need me for?" Bumblebee buzzed, "Jack you know racing's against the rules, what if Optimus found out?" Rafael replied. Both Jack and Bumblebee whined in sadness at the mention of being unable to race. "But, Raf, he's got to get the girl... and beat the bully?" Miko reasoned, "If you want speed then you should look to Ace, fastest set of wheels I've seen." Bulkhead suggested.

I came into the main hanger after being locked up in my berthroom all day. Once I entered everyone stared at me, "Is something wrong?" I asked, "Heeyyy, Ace..." Jack started but Miko cut him off, "Jack needs you to be his ride to beat Vince!" "I am unsure... Optimus would-" I started but Miko stopped me, "And who's gonna tell 'em? Not me, at least." I looked around to see everyone shaking their heads, "Besides, it's been a while since you spun those wheels." Miko added. I evidently agreed to this as I made a silent vow to help with anything and everything the Autobots needed a long time ago.

(Timeskip brought to you by Aerialace getting lost)

It was time that I would go on my first human race. Me and Jack rolled down to where everyone was waiting, when we got there I rolled up beside the car I saw Arcee and Jack racing yesterday. Jack rolled down his window to talk to Vince, "Bike's in the shop." Jack lied, the two glared at each other for a few seconds before Sierra walked in front of us and a loudspeaker spoke, "Circuit drivers, are you ready? I'll make it mean but keep it clean."

"Fire 'em up in five. Four. Three. Two. One." The loudspeakers counted down and Sierra threw down the towel she was holding up. I took this as the sign and raced off. Vince was able to gain the upper hand and drove in front of me, causing me to be unable to pass him, but eventually I was able to pass him. A few seconds later and a random car drove next to Vince and rammed into him, causing him to knock Vince off course.

"Wait... I know that car." Jack realised, "That is not a civilian driver, that is Knockout." I informed him. I drove off of the course and onto the side of the road where Knockout charged up his side blasters and started shooting at us, I was able to dodge them and we raced back onto the track. "Can you loose him, Ace?" Jack asked, "Because you are here and there are most likely more racers coming through this track we need to hide." I explained, "But where?" "Underneath the bridge." I replied and drove faster.

"Good, 'cause I don't want to call the base for backup." Jack muttered, "We might need to." I replied
