Author's Note: Right so, just figured out how to use the horizontal line so that shows how new I am at this. I don't own Transformers but I am COMPLETELY obsessed with them. I am in school and dealing with normal life like anyone else so I update very sporadically and very all over the place. See any mistakes, let me know. Many of the small details I here are ones I have made up, if they resemble anyone else's work or this story line does please let me know and I'll see how I can change it, I promise I did not copy this idea.
Also,I really have no idea how serious I'm making this story so...yeah. This can just about any which way at the moment.
Anyways, hope you enjoy!
And review! New aspiring fanfic writer over here!
Prologue
Many a vorn ago, there was an extraordinary young mech, an archivist to be precise. His parents gave him the designation Orion. Orion was extraordinary for many reasons, one was a gift few knew existed, and none knew the true extent of its ability.
When Orion was a mere mechling his creators were astounded by the rate of his progression. Orion learned how to walk and speak at the same age as most other sparklings, but what Orion actually said and did, well, it caused a bit of concern. Simply put, when the little one was barely up to his Sire's knee joint he could speak a number of different Cybertronian dialects fluently. In a rather elementary form mind you but fluent nonetheless.
It was soon found out that Orion emerged with an amazing abnormality. All Cybertronians had multi-tier processors throughout their entire life cycle. The average Cybertronian had two or three, a politician had four, and a medic had five. Each mech or femme could commission for additional tiers at anytime during their life cycle, if they had the credits, with the limit being five. A very small amount even emerged with six and became members of the leader's most trusted staff or even the Galactic Council.
Orion emerged with thirteen tiers.
Now, this small family were members of the Pax Clan. The family was rumoured to be the descendants of one or more of the Original Thirteen. It was no rumour. At the discovery of their son's gift they immediately got into contact with the only Prime still living in the physical realm, Alpha Trion. They pleaded with him to help them keep their young son safe. Alpha, agreed, but not before he had a visit from his brother, Vector Prime. Vector warned his brother of Orion's future and told him what he had to do to ensure the mechling have the most fulfilling and positive one he possibly could.
Alpha Trion weeped with the stricken creators at learning Orion must stay with the Prime in order to remain hidden from others, isolated from his creators. He learned not two orns later they had been murdered by the Council of Cybertron upon refusing to reveal their son's location. When the Council confronted Alpha Trion, they either suddenly found themselves on the opposite side of the Universe or, if they had a family of their own, the information pertaining to the small mech was erased from their processor.
With all record of Orion's gift erased from current memory, Alpha hid in plain sight. He became the Chief Archivist for the Iacon Hall of Records, comforted by the fact his siblings would allow him to use their inventions in the vaults to protect this mechling. However, the true consequences of this mechling's gift haven't been told yet.
No side effects were apparent at first, no negative ones that is. There was the usual bullying for a mechling so intelligent, but it wasn't until the mech was just that, an adult mech, that the true problem came to the fore.
While Orion was in the Academy for Cybertronian History and Literacy, he was kidnapped by a classmate along with three others. None of the four could remember what happened, knowing only that they had been put into forced recharge by somebot behind them, and than the medical authorities were looking down at them in a hospital. All four were found with evidence of rape and what appeared to be a conception agent in their systems.
Alpha quickly took Orion to a centre that was barely on the radar. The Council had made several laws against certain medicine and treatments that are proved to save lives. The reasoning? The ones who needed those things were the lower classes, the higher classes never in contact with those specific ailments. Alpha had found out from several sources that the young mech who owned this place in the middle of nowhere was illegally giving everybody who came in what they needed to be healed. And one of the things the medic had covered up was the fact he scored 100% on every single test and assignment handed to him in medical school.
The two mechs went to this medic, Ratchet, and asked for his help, eventually explaining Orion's predicament as a whole. What they found was shocking to the core.
Orion wasn't carrying.
The mech had been raped at least twelve times with a conception agent so powerful it was illegal, and he handed actually conceived. After almost 15 orns of near nonstop searching, Ratchet found out why. Orion's processor had adaptations to compensate for his extra tiers. One of those adaptations was the removal or complete shut down of certain parts of his processor. One of the parts removed was the codes necessary for actual conception, a carrying cycle, and emergence. In basic terms, Orion wasn't carrying, because it was impossible for him to be such.
This nearly broke the young mech. He absolutely adored sparklings and had many in depth discussions with his Guardian about the process so he could be prepared for the future. The medic, who had very quickly become a dear friend, and Alpha Trion, never left Orion's side. Even as mech and femme alike turned their back on him when they realized he could not conceive nor cause another to conceive.
The only one to stay with the now archivist was a certain gladiator from Kaon. They started out as possible partners but that, somehow, naturally changed to brothers instead. What happened between them I believe is a well worn tale so will not be reiterated yet again. Much more importantly, the Great War started, Orion Pax became the heroic Optimus Prime, and a certain red and white seeker joined the Autobots.
After a touching and comical romance, Jetfire and Optimus began courting. Despite the war their friend's and family's encouragement pushed them to decide to bond. A mere 3 breems after their announcement of doing so Optimus became quite ill, and another blessing was found. When Orion was reformatted as Optimus, his processor became a much calmer 10 tier one thanks to Primus fiddling around. Apparently he fixed a few things while he was in there.
This point was undoubtedly one of the happiest of Optimus' life cycle. He had a beautiful Bondmate and a sparkling on the way they had never thought possible. However, many of you will be noting their is no Jetfire nor sparkling in the present orn, and you would be correct.
When Optimus was almost half way through his carrying cycle the Autobots received intel of a possible location for one of the medium sized stock piles of energon the Decepticons kept. During this time of the war, energon was crucial, giving this chance far more importance than it may seem at first glance. Jetfire led the team to raid the energon supply, a simple grab 'n go. He never came back. The shock of having a new, not yet solidified bond, caused Optimus to miscarry. The amount of grief from this and the previous build up from the war, forced his less necessary systems to completely lock up. Once again, the mech was barren. These locks would not open unless the mech was ready to take on the added responsibility.
This is where we pick up our observations of the Prime, on a planet called Earth where he and a small group valiantly fight for peace and freedom. Optimus has just collapsed to the ground, almost without reason, and the others are carrying him to the med berth, no small feat considering his upgrade, and a medic scurrying around anxiously, praying the mech will suffer no more emotional pain from whatever this ailment happened to be.
Ratchet's prayers were answered before he uttered them.
