"You can put that there, Sky." Orion pointed to a file holder.

I was helping Orion organize some files. I had just put the files in the correct place when Alpha Trion came walking in. Orion walked up to him as I was finishing up.

"Orion, you may go now. Sky, a word please?" Alpha Trion said.

Orion nodded and left the room. Alpha Trion looked at me, I stood up straighter. I wonder what he's going to say to me.

"Sky, if you would like, I can help you with controlling your abilities." He whispered.

"That would be fantastic." I say.

"We can start in a few days, I am very busy with some important meetings. You don't mind, do you?" Alpha Trion asked.

"You have your responsibilities, I have mine. I don't mind." I smile.

"Excellent, you may go now." Alpha Trion motioned for me to leave.

I obeyed and left the Iacon hall of records. Megatronus was actually waiting outside and I walked past him without noticing. It was when he moved when I noticed.

"Good evening, Sky." He said.

I turned and saw him standing there, "Hi Megatronus."

"Heading home?" Megatronus asks.

"Yeah, it's been a long day." I said as I started headed home.

Megatronus kept pace with me. So I guess he's walking me home, even though only I know the way. We talked the whole way until I was at my doorstep, Megatronus looked into my optics.

"Sky, tomorrow Orion and I are going to challenge the high council. Would you like to say your part?" Megatronus asks.

"Okay sure." I say.

Megatronus nodded and left. It's rather incredible that I have a gladiator as a friend, Orion is a great friend too. But I've been having a weird feeling whenever I'm near Megatronus, I can't put my digit on it.

I walk inside to see my parents talking to each other. My mother and father turned towards me, "Sky, where have you been?"

"I was at the Iacon hall of records helping my friend, Orion Pax." I answered truthfully.

My father looked at me with a shocked expression. The Hall of records is a big deal, from what Dad said its high level security. There wasn't much when I went in, not from what I could see.

"I also became friends with Megatronus, the champion of the pits of Kaon." I continued.

Both of my parents were shocked. I haven't told them that I'm friends with a gladiator yet, oops...

"You're friends with a gladiator?" Mom asked.

"Yes, I'm going to recharge. I'm exhausted." I head to my room.

I enter, close the door and lay on my berth. My exhaustion causes me to sleep soundly.

|Next day|

We had arrived at the building of the high council. Megatronus, Orion and I enter the great hall where the elders were. I still feel rather nervous, I've never really gone out of my comfort zone before.

The lead elder looked down upon us, "Who is it that dares to challenge us?" 

I tensed as I heard his voice echo throughout the room. Megatronus stood before them first while Orion and I stayed back.

"Elders of the council, we have beliefs of freedom and equality among us Cybertronians. The Elite guard is corrupting our society and it must be forcefully stopped." Megatronus started.

Orion looks at Megatronus in a strange way, as if he wasn't expecting that answer out of him. I was kinda surprised myself. Is he saying destroy the Elite Guard?

"We must overthrow the corrupted Elite Guard! With so, I believe I should be the next Prime." Megatronus continued.

Orion and I look at each other in shock, this isn't like Megatronus at all. I can't believe that he's actually demanding to be the next Prime! I know that Primes aren't demanding, and they don't use force unless it's necessary.

The elders looked very displeased, but then Orion and I stepped forward.

"Pardon us, but there is a peaceful solution to this." Said Orion.

"We should all be treated as equals, but violence shouldn't be the first action. We can simply negotiate the problems." I added.

The Elders of the council looked very surprised and impressed. I looked at Megatronus and saw a look of shock on his faceplates. I'm guessing that he didn't expect me and Orion to interfere.

"Perhaps we can, what are your names?" One of the Elders asked Orion and I.

"I am Orion Pax and this is my friend Sky." Orion introduced us.

"Orion and Sky, you two have sparks like that of a Prime. We haven't heard a speech like that in centuries." The lead Elder said.

Orion and I look at each other in shock. We think like Primes? We really can't believe what we're hearing. We're like Primes??? I feel honored to be called that, but I can't feel too honored or my powers will start to act up.

I noticed Megatronus leaving the courtroom, was he really that upset? I turned towards him, his back facing me. Orion turned around as well, seeing Megatronus leave. I feel guilt, strong guilt. But what he was saying was wrong.

"Only the true way either of you could become a Prime would be with the Matrix of Leadership." The Elder continued.

I looked back at the Elder before we were dismissed. Orion and I walked outside, Megatronus was nowhere in sight. It was as if he just vanished into thin air. I look at Orion.

"I can't believe he actually said those things." He said.

"I can't believe it either, I also can't believe that the Elders say we have sparks like a Prime's." I say.

"We should probably go home, try to forget about what Megatronus said." Orion suggested.

I nodded my helm and started headed home.

|1 hour later|

I have arrived home and I sit at the table. My parents come in, seeing the shock on my faceplates. My mom sits next to me as well as my father.

"Is everything alright, sweetie?" She asked.

"I went to the high council with Orion and Megatronus, but Megatronus said some harsh things. Orion and I stepped in and said our part, which was different than Megatronus. They said that..." I trail off.

"What did they say?" Dad asked.

"They said Orion and it  think like a Prime." I say.

Both of my parents were in shock. I sit here and hang my helm down, waiting for a punishment. But I don't get one.

"Sweetie, the elders really said that?" Dad asked.

I nodded, "Yes, go ahead. Ground me."

"Why would we ground you? We're proud of you!" Mom said happily.

"You are?" I ask, full of surprise.

Both of my parents crushed me in a tight hug, I hug them back. They're proud that I think like a Prime, but I'm rather intimidated. I feel that I won't be able to handle the responsibility, then again I was born with abilities.

They let go of me and smiled. I smiled weakly and headed to my room and locked the door. I lay on my berth and close my optics.

|Next morning|

I awoke to the sound of explosions and gunshots. I bolted from my berth and looked out the window, oh no...

Cybertronians were starting to kill each other, only the killers wore a different symbol. Some of them I knew, I saw Soundwave attacking others in the distance.

Orion, Alpha Trion! I need to get to the Iacon Hall of Records now! I dashed from my room and out of my home, there is screaming and gunshots everywhere.

I took cover and hid behind the houses to get to the hall of records, I need to know if Orion and Alpha Trion are safe. Thankfully the hall is only a few blocks away. I peek out every now to make sure no evil Cybertronian is around.

There's the Iacon Hall of Records! I bolt inside to see everything destroyed. I run to the room where Alpha Trion and I talked, there he is. Alpha Trion was laying under some support beams that had fallen into him, he was leaking Energon everywhere.

I lifted the support beams off of him and knelt by his side. Alpha Trion groaned in pain, I felt a tear in my optic. His injuries are really serious, he won't last much longer.

"Alpha Trion, what happened? What's going on?" I ask frantically.

"Decepticons...are attacking..." He answered weakly.

"Decepticons? What are Decepticons?" I ask while a tear ran down my faceplates.

"You need to run...Find Orion and run..." Alpha Trion coughed up Energon.

"I'm not leaving without you, I need your help." I choked up.

Alpha Trion coughed some more, he's dying. None of my abilities can heal or bring back the dead, that I know of. More tears come from my optics.

"You must go before Me-" Alpha Trion stopped moving and went limp.

His blue optics shut off completely.

"Alpha Trion? Alpha Trion! Please! I need your help!" I begged for him to wake up.

Someone hit me on the back of the helm, knocking me out.
