The Autobot bases training rooms were very quiet and dark.
The usual machine sounds had stopped, leaving a silence.
Prowl stood still in the middle looking like a statue made of metal and sharp lines.
Bumblebee was a meters away moving restlessly. His yellow metal body reflected the light of the emergency lamps and his motors buzzed with energy.
He tried to stay and balanced like a Circuit-Su master.
"Patience Bumblebee " Prowl said smoothly. "A ninja doesn't fight the darkness".
"He becomes it."Bumblebee let out a hiss of static. "It's easy for you. My tires are made for screeching not whispering. When I try to hide I feel like a bright target."
"Stop seeing yourself as a target " Prowl replied. "Become the ghost within the machine."
The rooms sensors suddenly screamed, an alarm that broke the silence.
The computers voice boomed, cold and urgent: "Intruders detected. Sector 7. Stealth signatures: Ravage and Laserbeak."Prowl didn't move.
In one motion he slipped into the shadows above. His voice echoed from everywhere: "This is no training. If they hear a whisper of your spark the mission ends."
They moved into the ventilation shafts, a cold steel maze.
Bumblebee watched in awe as Prowl glided through the dark. He didn't walk; he flowed like a shadow.
Every step matched the hum of the generators.
Bumblebee followed, slowing down his fans. They emerged near the energon reserves, where Ravage prowled his eyes cutting through the darkness.
He let out a growl, a sound meant to scare any hidden prey. The vibration shook Bumblebee.
His instincts screamed to run. He remembered Prowls words: The wind that is not felt.
Of freezing Bumblebee did something inspired by his lesson.
He tapped a hanging metal chain timing it perfectly with a clank. The sound merged seamlessly drawing Ravages attention for a moment.
In that moment Bumblebee slipped behind an energon vat.
Prowl. Struck with precision..
Laserbeak dived down lasers aimed at Prowls back.
"Bumblebee! Now!"Bumblebee didn't charge directly.
He leapt toward the wall spinning through the air.
He delivered a palm strike to Laserbeaks wing.
The bird crashed hard. Silence returned,. This time it felt deserved.
Prowl turned to Bumblebee, who was venting heavily his armor scuffed but his eyes shining with joy.
"Your execution was noisy " Prowl said softly.
". Your use of the Ghost principle was adequate."Bumblebee leaned against the wall a grin forming on his faceplate.
" Does this mean I get my black belt in Ninja-Botics?"Prowl turned and walked back, into the darkness.
"It means we begin again at dawn.. Tomorrow we do it without the chain tap."
