Sorry it has been a long time, but my document got deleted and I had to start this entire chapter over, anyway. Enjoy it!

Chapter 10: University
Hot Rod POV
"Come on Roddy, get up!" My brother yelled.
"Huhh? Is it time for the Solar Alignment Arcee?" I groggily said.
"No, you're taking me to Tyger Pax," he corrected.
"Oh come on," I whined still half asleep, "I need to get to Iacon University, you can find your own way to Tyger Pax,"
"Oy, you can be a real handful,"
And so he just left. I left him a map out with instructions last night knowing that this would happen.
A few hours later, I finally got up and went to school, at Iacon University, the school with the best athletic teams on the planet.
As I stared around our campus, first walking by the Department of Science and Biology building, I looked for people I knew.
Walking by the building I actually saw Ratchet.
"Hey Ratchet," I shouted.
He was looking at a data pad, and he glanced over and simply said "Hello Hot Rod,"
I walked over to him to see what he was doing.
"I am analyzing the effects of Energon compared to Medice-en, seeing which is more effective in curing patients,"
"Oh, what are you doing at campus though?"
"I am going to be your next biology professor, we have a shortage due to budget cuts," he sighed.
"I see, well anyway, have you seen Arcee around?"
"No, but I have seen Orion with Ariel, it seemed they were pretty angry," then he looked off towards the campus hospital, "then again, he didn't take the murder of his parents very well,"
"Wait, murder?" I replied flabbergasted. "I knew Orion had a troubled past but I didn't know he was an orphan,"
"He isn't, that's because I am his guardian,"
Wow! Two surprises in one package. "Dear Primus, what happened?"
"It was late one night, I was walking by the Pax's as it happened. A thief was driving straight towards Orion's creator, fatally wounding him, everyone escaped the scene, then the thief transformed into a bot and stabbed his carrier, she was only trying to protect him, right then, I tackled the (machine)" which he said very coldly, "knocked him out, but couldn't save Orion's family,"
I stared at him with horror, "he cried for a while, didn't he?"
"Yes," he replied, short and quick. "There was no next of kin, so I adopted him,"
"I've... never heard this side of the story before, well... goodbye Ratchet," I said in a crestfallen tone.
"Goodbye Hot Rod," he looked down as if he lost a war.

Holy Unicron, Orion lied about the custody story, his parents didn't leave each other, they left the world.
And now, to find Orion. As I walked around Iacon University, someone bumped into me knocking me to my pedes.
"Hey!" I shouted angrily at him, "watch where you're-"
"Going?" The mysterious mech said as he cut me off.
I looked up to see that it was, "Springer? Hey, what's up you bucket o' bolts?"
"Still trying to find the right place to put them," his quick remarks are always funny, and he is dependable. "How was your vacation?"
"Great! I met someone," I proudly exclaimed.
"Wow! Who?" He inquired.
"Hot Rod?" Someone called, I looked back to see who it was.
I took her by her shoulder, brought her closer and said to Springer, "this, is Arcee,"
"Well that's nice, but where's your girl?"
"Hahahahaha, oh Springer,"
"Hey Springer," Arcee greeted, "long time no see,"
"You bet it is,"
"Wait a minute," I quickly jutted in, "how do you two know each other?"
"Oh it was a long time ago," Arcee assured, "maybe some other time,"
"Well," Springer began, "I better get going, seems like you two are a match made in the AllSpark, see ya!"
"Later Springer!" As I waved him goodbye.
"Oh yeah, Hot Rod, we have a problem," Arcee began.
"Where?" I demanded.
"It's down at the mathematics department, and calm down, it isn't like a bomb has been rigged,"
We quickly hurried down to find Orion sitting on a bench, just... Waiting.
"Hey Orion, what's wrong?"
He looked up and somberly said, "not much,"
"Where is Ariel?"
"How should I know?" He angrily retorted.
"Woah, calm down there you wrecking ball,"
"I'm sorry, it's just..." He sighed, "Ariel left me,"
I widened my optics in complete disbelief, "what? Why? Why would she leave you?"
"I don't know,"
"I..." Arcee started, "guess I need to find Ariel,"
"Alright sweet spark, go" and she hurried off.
"Ah, what's the use? She won't come back to me anyway,"
"Come on Orion, you're better than this, with all you have been through, this should be nothing," I quickly brought my hands over my mouth, I spoke too much.
"What? How did you know, there are only two people who know, it's me and-"
"Ratchet, I know," he looked down in pain. "Sooner or later it's got to come out,"
"Ye-, well, ugh, I guess your right," he stammered.
"Come on big guy, let's get Ariel back!"
"Alright, let's go," he said with a slight hint of pessimism.

Arcee POV
"Come on sis," I said, "it was just a mistake, it's not like he broke everything,"
While still weeping, she replies, "That's not true, he broke my heart,"
"It's ok, we'll find him, somehow make things right, and you two are together again,"
"You really think so?"
"Yeah, by the way, what did Orion do that broke you up?"
"Well, it was a couple days back, he took less and less interest in me, then he had a sudden outburst of anger, saying many hurtful things about me, and that's that,"
"Well uhhh-" Then Orion and Hot Rod suddenly barged in.
"Ariel," Orion cried.
"Go away Orion," my sister angrily retorted.
"But sweet spark-" and she struck him on the side if his faceplate.
"You hurt me Orion, it's over,"
Suddenly Springer cam sprinting in.
Author POV
"Everyone! There is a bomb in this building planted on the fifth floor!"
Everyone started to freak out and run to the nearest exit.
"Oh no! Arcee, you take Ariel with you outside, we'll handle the bomb,"
"Like Unicron you will, we're coming with you,"
Hot Rod smiled, while Ariel gave a bit of a pout complimented by a scowl.
They all ran to the fifth floor, to find a bomb planted on a dead rusting carcass.
"We need someone to defuse this bomb!" Arcee cried.
"How about Wheeljack?" Hot Rod hopefully replied.
"We don't know where he is," Ariel shouted.
"Ratchet?"
"He has too many patients as of now," Orion exclaimed, "besides, I think I can defuse this bomb, it's fairly simple,"
"What do you know about bombs?" Ariel asked.
"I took a couple years of engineering, I think I can figure this out before it blows," Ariel stopped scowling and gave a bit of a smile.
Hot Rod POV
He had better hurry, because this bomb is going to blow in a minute.
I saw Orion carefully analyze the bomb for booby traps, fail safes, anything else that related to bombs. All I know about bombs came from movies.
Orion took his time with the bomb, and then finally, as if he got a shock of genius, he cuts the blue wire.
The screen read 10... 9... 8... He defused the bomb.
"Yeah, alright Orion," I cheered as Springer and I lifted him up.
"Orion," a stern voice called. Ariel walked up to us and we put him down. She grabbed Orion's front plate with an angry look, and kisses him, really savoring the moment.
"I love you sweet spark," she smiled.
"I love you too," Orion passionately replied. And they were held in a deep embrace and a deep kiss.
I brought Arcee closer to me, and I kissed her, with the same passion of Orion and Ariel.
Dear Primus, this chapter took a long time to write. I didn't publish in so long because I was mainly lazy and had a lot of schoolwork to do. But I still hope you all like it! It's been, what? 2 or 3 months? Well, I should have some more time now that the End is Nigh, the end of the school days.
Despite it all, I hoped that you liked it! PM me, rate, give me feedback!
