The Spark Within: Transformers (Various!XOC!)

Sentinel's Offer

The silence in the medbay was a huge contrast from the previous shouts and loud cheers of the crowd.

Now the only sound emitting in the air was medics carrying injured racers to their rooms, whispers and mumblings from nurses handing out forms and prescribing certain care and the every so often sound of beeps from monitoring machines.

S-23 sat in between the two male bots, knowing that she will have to be some sort of wall from stopping D-16 from possibly strangling Orion.

D-16, was clearly angry, his arms crossed over his chassis as he looked away from the two trying to keep to himself to prevent accidentally exploding on the wrong bot.

Orion can feel the anger even from the protective wall S-23 turned out to be. Despite the shame he should have on himself, he couldn't help but feel happy from experiencing being apart of the race.

Though there was one thing that passed through the thoughts of each of these bots.

'...We're in so much trouble...'

"So..how long do you think we'll be in here?" Orion broke the semi-quiet atmosphere, using a light-hearted voice in hopes of calming the already tense atmosphere.

Immediately, D-16 replied, "I'm not talking to you."

"..D.." S-23 mumbled out, she understood that what Orion did was quite impactful to the three of them, whether that was getting in trouble or eternal embarrasment from participating and still reaching last.

After a long silence, D-16 finally spoke up. "You know what I can't believe you made us do that!" The grey colored mech quickly said in a fit of rage. "We are so screwed!"

"I thought you weren't talking to me." Orion rolled his optics a bit sassily, having a bit of a smirk as he turned away from his friend.

"Pax don't even-" The femme bot warned, knowing he was fueling the tallest miner in the room with his anger and impatience.

"Look, I know this is one big joke to you but not to us two!" D-16 kept shaking his helm. "Do you know how embarrasing that was? Now the whole of Iacon will recognize us as the miners that tried to race and failed! Miserably!" He raised his arms up.

Orion then intervened. "I'm sorry D, But didn't you feel it?" The miner turned to him. "The thrill of the race? Being shoulder-to-shoulder next to competitive racers? Almost winning? They'd see us as the miners who could've won the Iacon 5000! Right '23?"

The femme sighed, shaking her head, trying to not participate much in the conversation, as she was still handling processing what occured today.

D-16 sighed, "Yeah I felt it..but it doesn't matter! We are going to get punished!" He suddenly stood up.

S-23 also stood up, "C'mon D, calm down." She attempted by placing a servo on his shoulder

The tallest mech only grumbled, "Aren't you mad too? He embarassed all of us!" He crossed his arms over his chest once more, only glancing down, and his tone lowered just by a bit.

The femme in the room only shook her head, "I wouldn't say I'm mad." She then turned to Orion, who smiled at her for defending him. "But that doesn't mean not i'm a little embarassed."

Orion's optics lowered, understanding that he was a fault for possibly ruining their images.

D-16 sighed further, placing a servo on his faceplate, "Sentinel Prime watched us too..." He made a fist with his servo, feeling his cheeks on his metallic faceplate slightly warm up. "Ugh, this is already the worst it can get...oh wait-" The tall mech then turned his optics back at his two friends, now thinking of yet another thing that can occur. "I wouldn't be surprised if they lowered us back to tier one, or worse, waste management.." He could only imagine it, being back to the start, or handling scraps.
