"Of all the foolish thing's you've done Orion!, This is by far the worst yet!" Ratchet exclaimed his pacing pede's making thuds against the flooring,
Elita One and Jazz stood by his side watching the medic silently.
"I know old friend" Orion did not look up from the recharging sparkling. Keeping a protective hand over his small form, "I did not plan for this out come to happen…I simply wished to find a way to stop this conflict before it got worse" he vented rubbing a thumb gently over the helm of his son,
Being gifted all the knowledge of the primes…It was not his intended goal while searching for Primus's help,
"Give a bot a break Ratchet he barely walked in here without collapsing" Jazz chimed in trying to stop they're friends ranting,
Ratchet ranted on anyway with a loud huff. "Do you even know what they'll do once they learn The Matrix of leadership is gone and in the hold of someone who's been called Megatronous most trusted no less!?",
"I hate to agree with Ratchet but Orion what were you thinking?" Elita One kneeled down beside him a servo on his shoulder "Once the council learns of this they could see it as an act of high treason, and if your deemed guilty of this crime…",
It could cost Orion his very spark if found guilty by the high council,
His optics trailed back down to his little sparkling. What would happen to Bumblebee in his passing?, would they hurt him for merely being tied to having Orion as a caretaker,
The sparkling stirred from his slumber suddenly round blue optics blinking awake. Confused till he caught sight of his caretaker buzzing happily none the wiser to the situation,
Orion smiled sadly scooping up his sparkling in one servo. Holding Bumblebee close to his spark chamber,
"How long do you believe I have before they track it's disappearance to me Elita?"
Elita One frowned venting audibly "At the most a full cycle or less depending on if I, Jazz or Ratchet go to the high guard with you in hand" she explained,
"We wouldn't turn him in though" Ratchet chimed in with an edge to his voice,
"I know…" she trailed off leaving the blanks to be filled,
A tense silence built between the four of them. All bots knowing the unspoken answer before them,
Turning himself in would be the best course of action. For Bumblebee and possibly himself,
"Elita, Jazz, Ratchet" Orion spoke turning to face his three oldest friends. "I only have two requests to ask of you",
Ratchet's face dropped "Orion you can't-"
"It's the only option I have old friend" Orion stepped forward placing a servo on his shoulder trying to comfort the older mech. "It is why I wish for you all to keep my little spark safe please",
Orion lifted Bumblebee up to kiss his helm and holding him close to his spark before hesitantly holding him out to his friends, Ratchet and Jazz's optics widen staring between they're friend and the little yellow sparkling,
Jazz took Bumblebee after a moment of shock. Holding him carefully in his arms "We will Orion" he assured softly,
"Thank you" he said ever gratefully of his friend's and the bond they all share,
Moving closer to Elita One. His oldest trusted companion knowing him back to when he was a mere dock worker on the far side of Lacon, and his old love, Orion reached out cupping her cheek,
"Elita I wish to ask you to go too Alpha Trion and inform him of my situation. I believe he would understand better then other members of the council right now"
She smiled reaching up and placing a servo over his bending down. "I'll be more then happy to do that Orion",
Leaning forward Orion gave a kiss to her other cheek before letting go and whispering "Thank you…Ariel",
"If this is last time we speak my friend's…" Orion paused looking back over to Bumblebee. The sparkling looked at him with confusion as to what was happening little servos reaching out for him with whines of no's, and Orion's spark ached at having to be apart from his sparkling,
Elita One Jazz and Ratchet moved forward. The three bots plus Bumblebee brought Orion into an embrace,
"I am glad we all met"
I can only hope this is the right choice to make,Notes: Canon is broken i have a ton of glue baby!,This doesn't follow any existing universe i just fused together a bunch of parts i like of transformers as a whole, I do ref a lot of g1 cartoon and prime though for this part because i like them a lot (like with how in prime optimus denied the matrix back when he was offered it by the high council when he and megatron spoke with them only to later take when offered by primus. and how the high council is like super flipped up and bad, and how in g1 cartoon optimus wasn't high of title or anything he was just a loading dock guy),
