Disclaimer: I don't own Transformers.
There hasn't been much Decepticons activity in a while. Jack was at work at K.O Burger with Arcee waiting in the parking lot in her motorcycle form.
While back at base Miko and Raf are playing Video games with Smokescreen watching, Bulkhead and BumbleBee going a few rounds of Lobbing, Ratchet working on the base main computer while Ironhide, Sideswipe, Wheeljack and Mirage are out on patrol and Ultra Magnus was on the roof of their base just looking at the sky thinking about something.
Optimus Prime was in his room thinking about his long lost son, Orion whom he presumed dead as today would be his 15th birthday and when his sparkmate Elita One has gone offline by giving birth to a new born sparkling.
Then he was suddenly greeted by Alpha Trion.
"Optimus Prime. Something you hold dear will returned to you in a another form."
Then Alpha Trion was gone and Optimus begins to think on what he said.
He then leave his room and heads for the command room where he see's Jack and Arcee pulling into the base, Jack hop off and went to Raf and Miko joining them playing Video games as Arcee walk up to Optimus.
"Optimus, today is.." Arcee said silently to Optimus but he cuts her off.
"I know the birth of my long lost son, Orion and death of Elita One." Optimus spoke with sad tone in his voice.
"Old friend I know the lost of your sparkling and sparkmate has taken greatly dimmed your spark." Ratchet spoke as the memory of that day goes through his mind.
"We were all there on that day, well except for Smokescreen and the human children." Ultra Magnus spoke entering the command room.
"What are you talking about?" Smokescreen asked what was on the young teens minds.
"Yeah, we want to know!" Miko yelled.
So they explain to them what they're talking about.
"Optimus has a son?" Jack question only to get a nod from his partner.
"And wife then lost them both in one day." Raf said in a sad tone.
"Optimus. I pick up an Autobot emergency beacon." Ratchet said getting the Prime attention," It just a few clicks of here."
"I'll check it out myself." Optimus said as he transformed and drove out of the base.
Optimus Prime reach the location the Autobot emergency beacon was coming from, the signal led to a half buried pod in the desert sand and then proceeds to dig the pod out but stop when he found a door with the Autobot insignia.
'Optimus Prime. Something you hold dear will returned to you in a another form.' Alpha Trion words rang through Optimus Prime's helm.
He then opens the door only to find a human wearing a black jumpsuit with a red Autobot insignia on the front of his shirt, from what he could tell the human is about 15. Optimus then found the pod computer and access it, what he read shock him.
This pod is the very one that he put his son on to be send somewhere safe and this human could be his son, Orion whom Ratchet, Arcee, Bulkhead, BumbleBee, Ironhide, Sideswipe, Mirage, Ultra Magnus and himself all presumed that he was dead and right before his optics is his son as a human. He was glad that he found his son and shock that he was now a human.
The young teen began to awaken, his blue eyes met Optimus Prime's blue optics then the young teen spoke.
"Creator?" The young teen spoke.
"Yes Orion, it is I, your Creator." Optimus said with tears of Energon streaming down his face as he pick up his son and bring to eye level, "Let's take you home and have Ratchet take a look at you."
Optimus then transformed into a truck and Orion got in then Optimus Prime drove off to base.
Once they arrive to the Autobots base both human and Autobot alike were silent as they stare at the young teen, who seem to be about the same age as Miko, in the Autobots leader servo as they wonder why this human was wearing an outfit with the Autobot insignia.
'Can they please stop staring at me.' Orion thought.
"I would like for you all to meet to my long lost son, Orion." Optimus Prime spoke breaking the silence.
"Optimus. My old friend that is not your son, just a human child wearing an outfit with the Autobot insignia." Ratchet spoke eyeing the young teen.
Just to prove him wrong, Orion transform into his robotic form which surprising looking very similar to Optimus Prime before he became prime, the only thing that has him standing from other Cybertronians is that he about the height of a human and quickly went back to his human alt.
"Ratchet, I want you to run some test on Orion." Optimus ordered handing his son to the medic.
Ratchet sat Orion down on a berth and scan him when he finish the scan his optics widen from pure sock, he quickly rush to the computer putting up Orion's scan on the screen.
"By the All Spark." Ratchet muttered.
"Is there a problem, Ratchet?" Optimus Prime asked concern for his son.
"No. It seems that your son can have two robot forms, two alt modes and it appears that his other robot form also the second alt are lock," Ratchet explained. "Also it appears he has no weapons system but there's electrical discharge coils build into his hands, I'm guessing it either for defense or attack."
"Very well and Arcee, you train him." said the Autobot leader only to get a nod from femme bot, "I know how much you wanted to train him."
