It all started when Dion had the craziest idea he ever concocted: take a break and go off-world. Ariel agreed to it but I wasn't so sure. I felt that we were going to miss something important. Dion then called me a robot chicken which then got me peeved.
"No one calls me a robot chicken and gets away with, Dion," I told him as we boarded a shuttle. "Besides," I continued, "Someone's gotta make sure that you 2 don't get into any more trouble." Dion and Ariel looked at me like I had a glitch in my processor.
"You worry too much Orion," Ariel commented as she grabbed some her mech ointment.
"Yeah," Dion added, "Name one instance where we got into trouble because of our shenanigans."
"Let's see," I began, "There was that time in Kaon with that gladiator,"
"That Megatron guy was asking for his gears to get rearranged." Ariel replied, cracking her knuckles, "He kept picking on you!"
"There was the incident on Caminus with that woman, Thunderblast," I continued, getting a look of embarrassment from Dion.
"How was I supposed to know she was going to strip me of my armor and sell them on the black market?!" he exclaimed in an embarrassed voice.
"And how could I forget that one time when you 2 told Sentinel Prime (publicly, at that) that he could take his offer of getting me into the Elite Guard and stick it in his-"
"You made your point Orion," Ariel interrupted as we sat on the bridge and turned on the ship. "Before we launch, let's go over the list of stuff we needed to bring."
"Ointment," She said.
"Check," Dion and I replied, looking through our containers.
"Dion's Magnum portable game system." She continued.
"Check." We replied.
"Orion's…...entire RWBY collection?" Ariel asked, looking at me with a glare.
"Check!" I replied gleefully.
"16 crates of Energon?" she continued.
"There are 17 energon crates." I counted, "You want us to dump it?" I asked.
Ariel shook her head, "No, that would be a waste. Keep it." With that, we launched and left Cybertron for our little adventure.
"So where are we going anyway?" I inquired, looking at my datapad. "We obviously can't go to any of the other colonies without being reported."
"Well, I heard that there's a nice little planet out of the colonies and Cybertron's reach called-" Dion replied, before noticing that the 17th energon crate was glowing for some reason. "What's up with that crate?" He asked.
"I don't know." I replied, "Let's see what's inside." I grabbed a pry bar and opened it up only to find…. "WHY IS THE ALLSPARK ON OUR SHIP?!" I was terrified. Why was it on our ship?! How did it get on in the first place?!
"WHAT?!" Ariel and Dion exclaimed as they looked at our very special cargo.
"Do you know what this means?!" Dion exclaimed as I curled up in a ball saying to myself "We're dead, we're dead." over and over again.
"Wait!" Ariel realized, "there's something else in the crate." she looked in and saw a datapad that said, "To Orion, Ariel, and Dion." Curious, she activated it and the screen came on.
"Greetings, you three," the speaker, Alpha Trion began as we looked at the pad, "If you are watching this, then that means that you have discovered the Allspark on your ship."
"Got that right…," Dion grumbled.
"You're probably wondering why it's there. The answer is simple: a war is coming, you three," his voice became grimmer as he spoke. "A war that will not only tear Cybertron and its colonies apart but the entire galaxy we live in. Both Autobots and Decepticons will want the Allspark for its power to create more soldiers. Unfortunately, I knew that the Allspark did not wish to be used this way so I had it secretly planted on your ship, knowing that if you three ever found it, you would do your best to keep it safe." This made me worried.
"This, unfortunately, means that all of you are now guardians of the Allspark. I never wanted to drag anyone innocent into this, but due to recent events, I'm afraid that I am left with no choice. I trust you all and wish you the best of luck in guarding the Allspark." With that, the screen turned off.
"Cybertron... At war?" Ariel whispered.
"Us….guradians of the Allspark?" I wondered as we tried to process this new information. We were now guardians of the Allspark.
I didn't know it then, but the three of us would soon find out that we weren't the only ones who had to keep something powerful safe….
