Older younglings now, Orion Pax and ShadowBlaze had finally been able to secure positions in the work force. Well, Orion had, for Shadow's job was to look after him. To do anything else would be too big a distraction for her, especially considering how much trouble Orion liked to get into. The young mech had, with help from their friend Alpha Trion, gotten a job in the data sector. He was charged with looking over any info that came across the data waves.

Sitting at his desk, the young mech was listening to various data streams. His blue helm rested on his hands as his optics darted around the room aimlessly. Nothing interesting had come up in the past few days. All the young mech had had to listen to is boring lectures and already known information. But he did look up once a noise was heard.

The doors to his complex slid open in the silence. Orion looked to see if it was one of his fellow colleagues. Seeing that no one was missing, he was unsure who it could be. He turned his blue optics to the door to see his mentor and guardian walking in.

"Hello Alpha, ShadowBlaze." He greeted them amiably.

"Orion, I trust things have been going well." Alpha Trion inclined his head. "We have," He gestured between the two of them. "Somethings that you must look out for."

"What is that?" The red and blue mech looked at his guardian. Said femme stood there stiffly.

"I have in my search come across a mech who calls himself Megatronus. As an undefeated gladiator, he has large crowds listening to him. He speaks of liberating Cybertron from the rule of the council and the Primes." ShadowBlaze informed her charge succinctly.

"Yeah I heard about him. He doesn't seem like much to me though. He does have a good message though, I agree with quite a lot of what he says. "Orion gave them both a look that said he was still quite skeptical at their statements. Alpha Trion, in preparation for such reaction, gave him in return a knowing look.

"I can imagine. In principal perhaps he is right; Cybertron's system does need to change. But his plan to go about it is wrong. In any case all we need you to do now is look out for him." Alpha Trion smiled gently to the data clerk before nodding his head and heading for the door. He did glance back once to look at ShadowBlaze. "You know what to do Shadow. Trust yourself."

She shook her head sadly but agreed nonetheless. As soon as the council mech was gone she went over to her charges side. Her arms slinked around him in a comforting hug she really needed. "Thanks." She whispered to him, sending it also down their bond. Orion smiled at her happily.

"Anytime, Blaze. You know that." He sent a playful shove down the bond. The interaction sent them both into a small fit of giggles. "Anyway I had better get back to my new assignment." His demeanor fell slightly, so she shoved him playfully back into his chair.

"Yeah you should."

The resulting silence was anything but uncomfortable. ShadowBlaze rested her helm against the chair she had commandeered next to him. The only real noise in the room was the clicking of his digits on the screen and the sound of their own systems humming. A soft sigh escaped her lips as she took in the calm peace and his presence. The two of them would often do something like this whenever the two could even find time to be in the same room together for a time frame longer than a few kliks. She reached her hand over and set it on his shoulder, only to have him jump up with a surge of surprise and rush out of the room. With a jump to balance herself, she started after him.

-Orion what are you up to? - She sent over the bond. He was too far away for her to ask him normally.

-Megatronus wants to meet me! But he said I had to meet him now or I would miss my chance.-

Her optics widened as she sped up to catch up with him. -Are you glitched? - She could see him shake his helm before he rounded a corner.

-No, this is my chance. I've got to help him. - She finally caught up with him. But when she got there, so was Megatronus. His already commanding, sharp frame sent shivers up her spinal strut but she held firm.

-I hope you know what you're doing.-

She felt Megatronus's optics graze over her lithe frame before focusing on Orion. "You must be Orion Pax. You obviously know who I am."

Orion grinned, sending his giddiness down to her. Her smile picked up slightly at his happiness. "Yes. This is my... friend ShadowBlaze. She wants to help too." He carefully omitted the fact that she was his guardian. Primus forbid any one figured out he was the future Prime. Especially where they were headed.

"All are welcome with us." His hand gestured for them to follow him. "Come with me and we will bring Cybertron back to her former glory." And they followed.
