None too Shocking

            “Knock Out.” Arcee’s voice had caught the ex-Decepticon off guard, and he whirled around to look at the two-wheeler who was approaching where he stood in the middle of the training room. “Let’s have another rematch.”

            Knock Out chuckled lightly, grinning at the smaller femme, “You sure you want to go again? I don’t want to shame you anymore.” The smugness in his voice caused Arcee to glare at him as she crossed her arms.

           “Well this time, the outcome will be different.” Arcee sounded determined.

           Knock Out outright laughed at that, grinning more, “How many times have you said that now?” His voice was teasing, as he beckoned her to make a move, door to the training room sliding shut.

            Arcee couldn’t keep the grin off her face as she quickly slipped into a fighting stance, before launching herself at Knock Out, ped making contact with his chest and causing him to lose some balance and stumble back.

            Knock Out laughed lightly, throwing a hard punch with his left servo, connecting with Arcee’s face and stunning her. He followed up the punch with a hard kick, launching the smaller femme half way to the wall of the room.

            Arcee caught herself, sliding, looking to Knock Out with a grin, “You’re not going easy on me, are you?” Her voice was taunting, as she righted herself, rubbing at her face lightly. “Those previous victories make you soft?”

            “Hah!” Knock Out scoffed, approaching towards her, “as if.”

            Arcee backed up a few steps, watching the red sports car approach, before suddenly transforming just a few steps away from the wall, making her way quickly behind Knock Out in a wide half circle, transforming and using her momentum to slam into Knock Out and smash him into the wall, drawing out a pained grunt from him.

            “You lost your edge, Knock Out.” Arcee chuckles, digging her elbow into his back, “Do you give up?”

            Knock Out’s response was a sudden shift, as he elbows her hard in the faceplates, making her gasp out in surprise and pain. The ex-Decepticon snickers, grabbing Arcee’s shoulder and lifting her up. “Not a chance.”

            Arcee merely smirked, delivering a swift, hard kick to Knock Out’s chest, leading him to grunting and releasing her, before swinging his right fist at her, growling when she ducked. She knew that was coming, he was becoming predictable now.

            Knock Out leaned back when she moved in an attempt to uppercut him, having seen that coming due to their previous spar sessions. He grins, quickly moving in and punching her hard in the face again, sparing her no blows.

            Arcee couldn’t hold back a sharp gasp as she quickly stumbled back and away, before transforming again, driving forward quickly to take Knock Out’s legs right out from underneath him.

            Knock Out cried out in surprise and shock as he suddenly faceplanted onto the cold concrete floor, letting out a pained wince as he shifted slightly, trying to get his bearings back. He immediately ceased all movements when he felt a ped rest on top of his back as Arcee attempted to pin him down. What a gutsy femme.

            “Surrender ye—” She cut herself off with a yelp when Knock Out quickly rolled over, successfully managing to knock her down to the ground as well.

            “It’s not that easy, Blue Jay.” Knock Out chuckles, sitting up and watching Arcee seethe over his chosen nickname for her. “Awh, cheer up.” He teased with a smirk, nudging her as she tried to stand back up, knocking her back over.

            “I told you not to call me that.” Arcee’s voice was surprisingly even, as she shoved back, a grin tugging at her lips before she hops up, delivering a quick, harsh kick to the still-sitting Knock Out.

            Knock Out landed back on the ground completely, groaning lightly as he rubbed where he was kicked. “Come on beautiful, don’t act like that.” Knock Out then suddenly had his prod in servo, moving to jab it at Arcee, who quickly round-house-kicked it from Knock Out’s grip.

            “You’re not very surprising, Knocks.” Arcee then slammed her pede down on top of his chest. “I do believe I’ve won this one.”

            Despite everything, Knock Out grins up at the blue femme who stood over him, thoroughly impressed. “Not bad, Arcee. You might actually make a formidable opponent now.”

         His smart remark earned him a swift kick to the side before Arcee stormed off, leaving Knock Out to laugh at her reaction.
