Remember to R&R

"Come on Magnus it's just two steps you can make it." Aqua encouraged. Baby Magnus stumbled as he attempted to walk to his mother and brother. His bright blue optics lite up as he landed in his mother's arms after a long hard attempt to walk. Magnus had just turned 18 months old and it was time for him to start walking. It was a long hard struggle but he seemed to be getting the hang of it. Orion watched his little brother, he was proud to see him walk for the first time.

"Hey Mom do you think we could make it to the gladiator show tonight?" Orion asked. Aqua looked down. Magnus squirmed in her grasp.

"I don't know Magnus is still really young and I don't want all this fighting to scare him." Aqua replied. Orion pouted and crossed his arms. He muttered to himself. He stomped out of the nursery and into the big dining hall. He sat in one of the tall velvet chairs. He slumped down looking directly ahead. His older Cousin Graveswing walked by. His chest completely exposed. He had white Cybertronian text tattoo on his two chest muscles. Orion was practically mesmerized at his cousin's tattoos.

Graveswing turned around. "Hey Orion what are you doing in here alone?" Orion didn't answer he turned the other way facing the wall. Graveswing walked to the other side smiling right up in Orion's face.

"Not going to tell your favorite cousin what's wrong." Graveswing picked up Orion and ran out of the room holding him in the plane position. Orion laugh hysterically. Graveswing laughed right along with him.

Setting him down on the floor, Graveswing bent down "So you want to tell me what's wrong." Orion faced frowned.
"Mom won't let me go to the gladiator show tonight all because Magnus can't handle the fighting." Orion whined. Graveswing gave a gentle smile. "Well if it's okay with your mom and dad you could come with me and the other Mechs to watch the show."
Orion shot up. "Really that would be awesome, let's go ask mom she can't say no to you." Orion grabbed Graveswing's servo and pulled him down the stairs. He finally got to his parents' bedroom where Aqua sat in a chair reading a data pad. She looked up and saw her son and her half naked nephew standing in her door way.

"Yes may I help you two?" she asked with a hint of amusement. She couldn't help but think of what Orion did to drag his cousin all the way down here.

"Graveswing offered to take me the see the gladiator show tonight, can I go with him and some of my other cousins?" Orion pleaded. Aqua face dropped she thought about it.

"Well I don't know who all going to be there?" She asked Graveswing.

Graveswing rubbed the back of his head thinking. "Well Quintus and Amalgamous and Onyx will be there…uhh… let's see who else. OH Terratrax, Ponchhawk, Redfoot, and Tigerbeat will be there." Graveswing answered.
"I guess you can, just make sure he gets home when the show ends no extra stops, unless you're with Quintus." Graveswing nodded and picked up Orion putting him on his shoulder.

"Oh and Orion." Orion turned and looked at his Mom. "Let Graveswing get his chest piece on first before you drag him over here."
"Sorry about that Aunt Aqua, won't let that happen again." Aqua shook her head and chuckled. "You guys have fun tonight."
"We will mommy!" Orion called back. They closed the door and headed for the foyer. All the other bots who were going waited in there,

"Hey Graveswing are you going to go chest-less so you can the femmes?" Terratrax snickered. All the other mechs laughed. Graveswing gave a disapproving scowl and set Orion down next to his older cousins. Orion felt incredibly small next to them. He looked up and smiled. Redfoot smiled and lifted Orion up.

"Your dad didn't tell us you were coming too." Redfoot said. Orion simply shrugged.

"I guess you could say it was a surprise." Orion giggled. Graveswing came back with his chest piece on ready to go. Not too far from behind him came the three Primes arrived. Onyx clapped his servos.

"Are y'all ready for tonight show." Everyone nodded with their big fat smiles. Onyx motioned them to follow. They all got to the car and hop in. The gladiator arena wasn't too far from the palace. Once they arrived it was packed there were bots everywhere trying to get in. A lot of femmes started eyeing the older cousins. They got a lot of cat calls and whistles from rude taunting mechs.

"Tickets please." The sleek black bot asked. Quintus handed him nine tickets.

"Your seats will the right press box." The bot told them. He didn't look all that excited as a ticket handler. Orion set his arm beside Redfoot helm. The older bot held onto Orion little legs as the jogged up the stairs to the press box. Quintus opened the door the press box was huge. There were multiple couches and chairs.

"Well dang we could've brought everybody else with us." Amalgamous said looking around the room. Redfoot set Orion down and he ran straight to the balcony looking down.

Quintus came and stood by him. "Well what do you think is it cool enough for you?" Orion nodded.

"This is probably the best gladiator seats ever, do you think we could meet them tonight?" Orion asked excitedly. Quintus looked at his son. "Yeah if you want."

The Announcer came into the middle of the ring. All the mechs rushed out to the balcony and grabbed a seat. A smirk formed on the announcer he raised his arms high in the air.

"FEMMES AND MECHS OF CYBERCITY, WE WELCOME YOU TO THE BIGGEST MATCH OF THE CENTRUY!" The crowd went wild cheering and jumping.

"WE WOULD LIKE TO PROUDLY INTRODUCE YOU TO TONIGHT FIGHTERS, METALBLAZER!" On the left side a door opened and a huge ripped mech walked out with his fist together and a nasty scowl on his face.

"AND ON THE RIGHT WE HAVE CYBERTRON ALL TIME FAVORITE GLAIDATOR, TWISTED!" Everyone stood up and cheered as a tall black mech walked out waving and smiling. He wasn't as ripped as his opponent but he still looked like a fighter. Metalblazer laughed when he saw Twisted. Twisted shrugged it off.

"Whoa that's Twisted." Orion asked looking at the famous fighter. Quintus leaned back in his chair taking a sip of his high grade. "Yes a lot different from the posters in your room."
The fight began with Metalblazer charging at Twisted. The first punch was thrown, but not by Metalblazer but by Twisted. The surprised moved shocked everyone in the stands.

Twisted threw punches left and right beating Metalblazer and leaving him in a bloody pulp. Quintus optics ridges raised at the fighting.

"Hey Onyx are you seeing this." Quintus stood up and leaned over the rail looking at the fight. It wasn't the regular gladiator fights. This one was intense and it was getting graphic. Onyx squinted his optics and watched carefully at how Twisted was fighting.

"Hey dad can I go down and get something to eat." Orion asked

"Yeah sure just be careful." Quintus didn't take his eyes off of the fight. Orion went back inside the press box room. He trotted down the stairs reaching the food court and various shops. He was amazed at how many bots had shown up to see the match. Some were tall and bulky while other were slim and petite. Orion wasn't looking and ran into another mech his age.

"Hey watch where you're going you could have seriously hurt me." The young mech yelled. He was a shiny silver with some small red markings. He had bright blue optics like Orion.

"Oh I'm sorry forgive me" Orion apologized. He stood up and brushed himself off. He offered his servo to the mech, but he refused and stood up on his own. The silver mech took a long look at Orion eyeing him from head to toe.

"You look really familiar, like I've seen you somewhere." The Mech said. "You been all over the news lately with Quintus prim- Hey Your Orion Pax, Quintus Prime oldest son!" The mech exclaimed. Orion was slightly confused. He really didn't know what all the fuss was with his dad and mom.

The silver mech stood up nice and tall "My name is Megatronus." He said proudly. Orion optics light up

"That's my uncle's name, Megatronus." Orion said pointing. Megatronus mouth dropped.

"Your Megatronus' nephew, oh my! What it like? Does he live in the palace with you? How are you his Nephew?" Orion stopped the mech from asking so many questions.

"Well Megatronus is my dad's older brother, that's how I'm his nephew, and he does live in the palace, but only visits when he can he spends most of his time in Kaon. Orion answered. Megatronus was fascinated by this. He listened with a desire.

"So are all the Primes brothers?"
"Yes they are so I have about thirty cousins total.

"Whoa that's a lot, and I always thought that the primes lived together and formed a close bond." Megatronus stated.
"Hey you want to come meet my dad, he's really cool, and he's the one who owns the gladiators." Orion nodded and followed his new friend through the maze of Cybertronians. They reached the side entrance if the arena. There stood a tall Black and purple mech with and ear piece and a data pad. He looked down at the two.

"Ah Megatronus your back, and you brought a friend how nice." His voice was low and croaky he almost sounded sick.

"Dad you won't believe who he is, He's Quintus Prime's oldest son! Can you believe that" Megatronus' dad looked down at Orion and pinched his face up. By the looks of it he didn't like Orion that much.

"Well does Quintus' son have a name or no."
"My name is Orion Pax." Orion answered as confidently as he could. The black mech got an idea. He knew that the primes were all skilled warriors what better way to bring up ticket sales than to have great warriors fight each other, and he knew young children didn't whatever they were told.

"Orion could you ask your dad if he could see if anyone of the Primes would be interested in fighting in the arena for a couple of nights?"
"Why would I do that you already have a lot of gladiators with you why no use them?" The mech tried his best not to slap Orion for asking a stupid question.

"Because sales are down and it would be interesting to see the Primes fight for dominance, I mean who doesn't like to see strong amazing warriors and generals in the arena." The black mech snickered. Orion thought about it. Orion did admit that I would be a show and it would also help Megatronus' dad with ticket sales. But then his mother came to mind. Would she like the idea of her spark mate in the arena fighting to the death over a stupid title?

"Amalgamous come here now!" Quintus called. Amalgamous walked over to the railing next to Quintus and Onyx.

"Watch them closely." Onyx suggested. Amalgamous shrugged and watch the two gladiators fight. Metalblazer threw Twisted across the arena and beating him senseless. Twisted spat out a glob of energon and charged towards Metalblazer ripping off a piece of his back armor. Metalblazer howled in pain and grabbed Twisted by the foot banging him on the ground.

Amalgamous crushed his energon into tiny pieces. "They have been drugged to fight for brutal." Amalgamous growled. Quintus and Onyx looked at each other I shock. Bu that shock turned into anger. Amalgamous stormed through the room slamming the door racing towards where the director of the gladiator shows was standing watching.

"DARKRIDER!"

Orion turned around to see his enraged uncle Amalgamous. His optics were a burning flame. Right behind him were Onyx and Quintus and they didn't look much happier either.

"Ah the Primes how may I be of service to you?" Darkrider gave a mocking bow. Amalgamous back hand him across the face.

"Are you fragged in the head?!" he asked. Darkrider wiped the energon from his lip.

"By what do you mean Amalgamous?" He asked with a mocking tone. Onyx held the back of Amal shoulders trying to keep him from losing control.

"You drugged the gladiators so the fight would be more brutal and bring up ticket sales, am I right?" Amalgamous asked.

"Oh no you are quiet right in fact your sweet little nephew was going to ask you if you and your brothers wanted to be a part of my show." A sly smirk formed on the lips of Darkrider. Quintus walked over and picked up Orion and walked back behind Onyx.

"Shut down the show and we won't tell the high council or Prima." Onyx threatened. Darkrider laughed "Why would I do that ticket sales have gone through the roof, I wouldn't want to disappoint the cheering fans."

Amalgamous got himself lose from Onyx's grip. He walked past Darkrider and spat at his pedes. The others walking behind him. Orion waved to Megatronus as his father carried him off. Megatronus waved too his face saddened. Darkrider patted his son on the back and walked off to the other side if the Arena.

"Dad what are you going to do now?" Orion asked. Quintus brought him out and look t him straight in the face. "Were going to tell the high council in the morning." Quintus replied.

"Oh, what do you think that will do." He asked.

"Probably get Darkrider fired and cancel the Gladiators matches for a while."
They all got back to the press box to find that the mech brought in some femmes while they were gone. Orion looked at them almost surprised at how revealing their platting was.

"Hey y'all are back." Terratrax said with a slight slur in his voice. A bright purple femme was seated on his lap. She had a finger in her mouth smirking. She got up and approached Amalgamous wrapping an arm around his waist. He grabbed her by the arms and stared at her in the optics. Fear washed over her quickly.

"For your information miss, I already have a spark-mate and I don't think she would be very happy to see me with a slut like you." He dropped her to the ground. She glared at him.

"I'll tell my boss about you and you'll be in big trouble." She spat.

"Go ahead and tell him the name is Amalgamous Prime, I'm sure he'll come and confront me. Amalgamous pointed to the other femmes.

"Out and don't bother coming back."

"All of you mechs are going to have a serious talk when we get back to the palace, and I'll be sure to bring your parents I'm sure there going to be thrilled."

They all nodded as best they could for most of them were drunk from too much High grade.

"Let's go." Amalgamous led the way as Onyx, Quintus and the boys followed behind them. They were all silent on the ride back home. The three Primes were all in a rage while the other struggled to keep their heads up.

When they arrived at the palace the Primess were waiting inside in the foyer. Some looked tired while the others looked like they picked up on what had happened considering the state of most of their sons.

Onyx made sure that they all got back to their Mothers safely. Amalgamous walked over and told Whiplash what had happened between him and a femme. Whiplash slapped him so hard Terratrax almost fell backwards. Shadeflash, Skyray and Lunarfire weren't as mad but not happy that they were drunk and with femmes.

"Quintus tomorrow morning dawn okay." Onyx called.

"Alright see you there." Quintus called back.

The door to the all the halls shut and there was deadly silence that was left.
