The roads screeched and stretched thanks to Knockout showing off for Orion. He did circles around him, skidded, and even was airborn for a moment, causing Orion to be wide mouthed and smiley, watching with excitement. Knockout was going faster and faster with each lap on the road.

"How did you learn all this?" Orion called out.

"Riding with the humans, of course."

"Humans?"

"Oh, well, they love to race like me. Kinda introduced me to it. That whole car and drag scene." He drove up to 90miles an hour, heading towards a cliff, testing his reflexes and break skills. Orion's optics widened and he yelled a stiff "HEY-"

But Knockout stopped in his track and transformed, turning his head to the now shaken Orion. "aha. Don't get your gears so tight. I know my limits, and the terrain around this heap of land." He boasted, striding towards Orion.

"That was alittle close, don't you think? What if your breaks didn't work-"

"Like I said, boy." Knockout put up a finger to Orions mouth. "I know my limits and standards." A wink.

Orion stared at Knockout, then nodded, scooting back.

"What. You don't want to try?"

"I don't think so… it seems out of my limit… and standerd." A smile.

"Aw- how can you judge your metal until you test it? Or do you just not want all that dust and dirt in your gears."


"What. What are you saying, Soundwave?" Megatron watched Soundwave's screen, it replaying Knockout and Orion going into the groundbridge and leaving. However the audio wasn't there.

Soundwave only replayed it, showing it was true.

"How dare they disobey me- and how come you didn't announce it to me earlier!? Why now!?"

He only stood, replaying the script one more time before shutting it off.

"…." Megatron let out a grunt like sigh. "So. What. What am I supposed to do with it now?"

Soundwave tilted his head at Megtron when he turned to ponder, what. Was he not gonna take charge and go to Knockout? Yelling and maybe a quick hit?

"I cannot let that side show to Orion."

Oh, of course.


Orion panted practically, his vents pushing the hot air out and letting the fans run. This… was hard. This was very hard… His truck form was not easy to control… it felt new to him.

"Now. Now. I like seeing you work hard- it's very…" he sways his hand, trying to find the right words. "Very…hard soilder like."

Orion looked to Soundwave, crouching up from his lower stance. "soilder?"

"Nevermind. It was a dumb comment, dear." He moves over, lifting Orion up.

"Had enough for today?" he asks.

"N-no… well, yes. Can I just rest for alittle more?"

"Sure." Knockout drops Orion, letting him stumble.

Sooner or later, Orion got up again, tring the circle trick again with Knockout, and getting better at it. Much better. His truck horn even blasted alittle, making Knockout laugh. "Getting into it?!" Orion was about to make his stance- until

The portal opened on them suddenly, Megatron coming out. Casuing Orion to transform and fall back first, gasping at his leader coming towards them. His hands folded behind his back- a universal signal that there was… disappointment in his eyes. Knockout transformed less quickly, smirking at Megs.

Soundwave followed out of the Portal too, proud of himself.

"ah- Lord Megatron! Did you see what Orion was doing? Quite impressive, yes?"

Oh, how Megatron wanted to beat Knockout just as hard as he did with Starscream.

"Y-Yes. I caught a glimpse of it. May I ask what exactly he was doing?" He looks to Orion, who puts his hands behind his back.

"He was trying out one of my fancy moves." Knockout knows Megatron can't do anything to him now. So he makes the most of it. "You know. My racing style?"

Orion looks to knockout, begging him to shut up.

"I see. Well, I'm sorry for interrupting. But, I'd like for both of you to come back to the ship. Please."

"So soon?"

Megatron gave Knockout a deadly glare, and Knockout nodded, frowining. Going first into the bridge, followed by Soundwave, then Megatron. Orion stood there for a moment, regretting his decisions, and followed quickly.
