After Xannax ran with two kids in his arms, Orion and Raja, he stopped to get his breath. Orion brought his fist up and punched him in the face, "YOU JUST ABANDONED HER, YOU BASTARD!!" Orion screamed at him with anger and pain. Xannax threw him down. "Ugh!!" Orion yelped. "Orion, your mother's legs were broken. If we did manage to somehow get her out, she wouldn't be able to run." Xannax explained.
"I would carry her then!!" Orion argued, "Orion, you're not strong enough to carry her, and she would want you to save yourself instead of her own life." Xannax argued back, Orion paused, with tears in his eyes. He felt despair. He punched the ground and began sobbing. "Why did you not defeat that, Titan? You could've killed it and saved Mom, damn it!!" Orion questioned. Xannax's expression changed completely...
He began sobbing with anger himself, "IT'S MY FAULT, THAT YOUR MOTHER WAS DEAD, I COULD'VE SLAYED THAT MONSTER, BUT INSTEAD, I WAS AFRAID!" Xannax yelled, "I'm so sorry, Orion..." He apologized as he cried, which shooked Orion. Raja just held on to her tears, not trying to cry herself.
Xannax sighed as he wiped his tears away.. "Alright, kiddo, let's get going now.. You both will go on the ferry, I will stand by here to save more people." He said. Orion and Raja nodded, Orion felt paralyzed, though, so he shakily walked, with a soldier, his cousin, to the entrance of the first wall.
"Alright, you two, be safe, and stick together." Xannax said before heading back to the other side of the wall after dropping off Raja and Orion to the ferry.
BumbleBee sat there with his uncle, "Bee, sit down." He commanded, "Wait, I'm just looking for my friends." Bee said. He looked over and noticed Orion and Raja. "Hey guys-" Bee yelled out before gasping, as he realized their expression.. His uncle realized, "Bee, you might need to be easy on them now. They must have experienced it.. " His uncle said sternly.
Orion and Raja went on the ferry and sat next to BumbleBee, "Hey Bee." Raja said, Orion sat down, paralyzed. "Hey, you okay?" Bee asked, Orion couldn't hold his tears, and he began crying. Raja patted his back to calm him down. "Mom was killed by that smiling Titan.. " Orion replied as he sobbed. Bee wasn't sure how to respond, but he did the same as Raja, just trying to calm him down. Orion rested his head on his friends, "It's okay, Orion.. Everything will be alright." Raja said.
Later on, the soldiers said there was no room on this ferry. The whole crowd started arguing with the soldiers, begging. The whole ferry began going forward, leaving the dock.
Meanwhile, Xannax noticed they were closing the gates, "Hey, what do you guys think you're doing? We have people who need to be rescued or either coming here!" Xannax questioned. "We have to close the gates, or Titans will break through!" One soldier replied, "No, we can not just leave them to die!" Xannax yelled. "I'm sorry, but we simply can't do it!" He said. Then, all of sudden, a Titan that had armor and glowing eyes came. He ran towards the wall like a bull.
"A Titan is approaching fast!" One of the soldiers said everyone gasped as they heard the news. "Fire!!" The commander said they shot the cannons at the Titan with Armor, but it didn't work. The Titan was sprinting at full speed. The gate was almost closed, and Xannax wasn't sure of what to do.. "Everyone step away from the damn wall!!" One of the soldiers said.
Xannax got out, but barely, he landed on the buildings, and the Titan with armor broked through the first wall. Stone and debris went flying everywhere, hitting some civilians and soldiers, killing or injuring. Xannax watched as Titans came through the wall. He sighed, "This is gonna be tough, I don't think Cybertronians would survive this." He hopelessly said.Orion clenched his hands. He got up and gripped the railings of the fence, which prevented anyone from falling. "I'll end their lives.." Orion growled in anger. Bee gasped, and Raja stood there. "I will not spare any Titan, I will end them all. The worst way of death is possible." Orion growled.The next day, after the invasion, they were in the second wall. "Orion, wake up." Raja spoke, "Huh?" Orion opened his eyes. "We should get going." Raja said, Orion sighed, "Alright." He got up on his feet and began walking out of the shelter. BumbleBee came in running, "Guys, I got some food." BumbleBee said cheerfully. Orion hesitated, "Thank you, Bee." Orion appreciated. Raja began eating her bread, "Bee, have you seen Ratchet, BulkHead, Ironhide, Arcee, Wheel Jack, and Hound?" Orion asked, Bee sighed, "I'm not sure. I hadn't seen them since a few days ago." Bee replied, "I hope their alright." Raja said, Orion was so enraged by his anger.
That he threw his bread at Bee, "Everything we ever had is gone! Forever!" Orion yelled angrily. "Orion, calm down!" Bee said, "No! I can never even forget what happened. Everything changed just yesterday, fuck damn it!!" Orion yelled, Raja punched Orion In the face to knock him out. Orion panted in pain, "Ugh, Raja... Why did you do that?" Orion asked, "You need to keep your emotions in check. Understood?" Raja commanded.
Orion sighed, "Yes, Raja..." He agreed. "Now, eat, your mother wants you to survive." Raja said before shuffing bread into his mouth. Orion tried getting it out, "Orion, just eat. You need energy and strength." Raja said. He sighed and began eating his bread. Later on, they stayed in the shelter again. It was nighttime.
After a whole year, most of the survivors had to farm during the winter which did nothing. BumbleBee's uncle went out to go in the army to retake the wall, and later on, he was killed. Orion had his back facing the wall as he was sitting down. Raja had the same position but was standing. BumbleBee was sitting in front of them. "I wanna join the Survery Corps." Orion said, Bee and Raja gasped, "I wanna join too." Bee said, "I'll join my friends into battle too." Raja also said. "What! Are you out of your mind, Raja!? Don't follow to my doom, too!" Orion asked, "Aren't you out of your mind too for deciding to join the Survery Corp?" Raja asked sternly, "And you're willing to die out there?" Which caught Orion off guard, "I will not die as a number, Raja.. I will destroy every last one of those damn things!" Orion growled.
"If you want to rid Titans from the world, so will I cuzz, we got this." Raja said. "Alright, but we can't start training yet until we're a bit older." BumbleBee said, "Aw, DAMN IT!" Orion said disappointedly.
After another whole year, Raja, BumbleBee, and Orion finally joined military training. Everyone stood in lines, back straight, and eyes forward, waiting for their training instructor to ask who they were. "You! Who are you?!" The instructor asked, "I'm BulkHead Nevada, sir!" BulkHead responded, "BulkHead?" Orion thought to himself. "Nevada, why are you here?!" The instructor asked, "To kill Titans and protect Cybertronians, Sir!!" BulkHead responded." The instructor nodded and walked to another young cadet.
"Who are you!?" The instructor asked, "I'm Hound Nevada, sir! Eldest sibling to BulkHead Nevada!" Hound responded, "Hound also survived?" Orion thought surprised. "Why are you here!?" The instructor asked, "I wanna kill the Titans, and help with anything here, Sir!!" Hound responded. The instructor went to the next cadet, "You, who are you!?" He asked, "I'm BumbleBee Tyger Pax, Sir!" BumbleBee responded, "Why are you here for!?" The instructor asked, "To help Cybertronians, and fight back the Titans!" Bee responded. "Good, you would be a Titan chew toy for them as well if you don't make it." The instructor said, "That's kinda harsh... " Arcee responded.
"Arcee is also here? Did every one of my friends make it?" Orion thought to himself. Orion looked around, he wasn't able to find everybody but he found most of them or he just couldn't see them.
Afterward today, they were in the cafeteria, getting dinner, "Well, this is gonna be harder than we thought." Orion said, "Heh, you always assum everything's easy, Paxton." A voice said, Orion, Raja, and Bee gasped. "Hound, Ratchet, BulkHead, Arcee, and Wheel Jack!" They all said in unison. "It's been 2 whole years, It's so nice to see you guys again!" BulkHead said before hugging all three of em. "We missed ya too!" Bee said as he hugged back. "Heh, where's Ironhide? Did he join, or did he want to stay put?" Raja asked. Their friends smiled faded, and they all wore frowns on their face. Orion, Raja, and Bee realized... "Oh... I shouldn't ask th- " Raja said before being interrupted. "No, it's alright, right after the Collasal Titan striked a hole into the wall, a big enough gap that the Titans are able get through. Me, Ironhide, and Hound were running towards the gate. Then, out of nowhere, a Titan leaps in front of us, Hound pushed me, but then Ironhide pushed him out of the way, and he was grabbed by that Titan... And, devoured him... " BulkHead softly said, before collapsing and crying.
Everyone tried comforting BulkHead, "He did it to protect us, even though I would've preferred if I was killed." Hound said, "It would still hurt for me, Hound." BulkHead said before getting back onto his feet. "Did you lose anybody?" Ratchet asked. Orion pounded on the table, "My mother was taken by this... Smiling Titan.. " Orion said angrily, "I wanna get revenge, slay all of them, especially that Smiler." Orion spoke in a soft, raspy tone. Everyone paused. They weren't sure of how to respond.
"Orion, take it easy. We still have to train for a while." Raja said. "I get that, but once we're out there, I will find and slay them." Orion spoke. "He's still mourning.. He wants revenge. He's taking more than we did. He's blinded to see it behind his invisible rage." Hound thought to himself. "Orion, you need to calm down. If you don't, you will get yourself into a shifty problem." Hound said, "I'm fine.. " Orion whispered. "You're not fine. You're still suffering." Arcee said. "Oh, and what? Are you guys perfectly fine? We all lost somebody we cared deeply for, and you just forget their memory?!" Orion angrily asked. Before storming off. Leaving everyone speechless. And everyone in the room was muttering or gossiping about Orion.
Orion went outside the camp and sat alone in the forest. He rested his forehead on his knees and wrapped his hands around his legs. He held his tears in. "Why did I say that to them?" Orion whispered to himself, "You are still hurting, Orion." A voice said, Orion looked around to see his cousin Raja and Bee. "You're not wrong, I can't believe I said that.." Orion said, "The others would understand, they've been there too. And besides, you're growing up as well." Bee said, Orion chuckled, "Well, I should go apologize to them." Orion said as he got up.
Hound, Ratchet, Arcee, and WheelJack tried comforting BulkHead, "Hey, guys, I apologize, I never meant to hurt you." Orion apologized, "It's okay, Orion, you're still in pain, a different kind of hurt." Arcee said, BulkHead wore a smile on his face, meaning he forgave Orion. Orion smiled back at BulkHead.The next day, they were gonna learn how to balance before learning how to use ODM gear. The soldiers clicked the chains on Orion's belt, and attached to it was a rope. "Ok, pull the hinch!" The instructor said. The soldier pulled the lever, and it was pulling Orion up by his belt. Orion was so tense that he couldn't hold and handle his balance, and he hung upside down. "AH, SHIT!" Orion shouted as he flipped. The reporter walked with a higher cadet, "This is about balance. Look at cadets, Raja Rive, Arcee Versav, and BumbleBee Tyger Pax. "Orion Kanaki, on the other hand, is off the balance." The cadet said. "Heh, I heard that this kid wanted to end every Titan. He can't even keep his balance straight." Some kids muttered.
Orion heard their conversation. His eyes were dark, glaring at them. "I can do it. This is hard. How would they handle it if they were in my position? They would've most likely failed, too." Orion thought to himself. "Orion Kanaki! Find your balance! Raja Rive is able to be completely balanced while she did it!" The instructor yelled, Orion looked at his cousin Raja, and his eyes widened, "What? How did she do it? She had to fail once, right? Am I just not cut out for this?" Orion questioned himself, "doesn't matter. If she can do it, I can too!!" Orion thought. He tried flipping right back up, but he couldn't, "I failed?" Orion thought again. He felt embarrassed that he couldn't even do it.
After in the evening.
Orion hid from everyone because he was just too embarrassed to be confronted or talked to. He knew people were talking about him. "How was I not able to do it? Was I too excited? Was I not paying attention? Why couldn't I do it?" Orion punched the ground in anger, "Orion, you alright?" A female voice asked, Orion turned his head around to face the person. It was Arcee. [Tbh, I'm not sure about who and which to ship in this one, and I'm not sure how many ships, but I am thinking of that. Stay in reading to find that out! Back to the story] "I'm fine." Orion turned his head, "Liar, you're not." Arcee jokingly said. "Haha, very funny." Orion said sarcasticly, "Yeah, you're obviously being sarcastic." Arcee still joking around.
"Bitch." Orion chuckled, "Ok, I am a bitch but anyway, we asked the instructor if we could use it so you could practice and he allowed." Arcee said, "WAIT WHAT?!" Orion yelled shocked. "Ok, calm down, and yes, I'm serious." Arcee said. "Why didn't you say so?" Orion asked before sprinting, "Because you weren't listening, you ass hole!" Arcee replied. "No, I'm not!" Orion said, "Yes, you are one!" Arcee said before outrunning him to everyone. Orion stopped, "Ah damn it, of course you'd beat me." Orion said, "Yep. By the way, here we are and hi fellas." Arcee said, "Oh hi." Orion said, "Orion, you suck." BulkHead said jokingly."Pfft, whatever. I know that." Orion said.
A few minutes later, "Ok, we will pull the hitch. Are you ready?" Raja asked, Orion nodded. "Ok, Bee, pull the lever." Raja tells him. Bee pulled the lever up, and Orion was slowly lifted, and before being way high up, he lost his balance and fell and hit right on his forehead. And was again hung upside down. "Shit.." Orion held his forehead in pain. Everyone looked at him shocked, BumbleBee pulled the lever down, and Hound and Raja helped Orion up, "You alright?" Hound asked, "I'm fine, ugh, I feel dizzy." Orion said, very dazed.
"We need you patched up now." Ratchet said. They went back inside the cabins, through the cafeteria, and into the medical room. Ratchet patched up Orion's head with bandages and made sure his wound was clean. "Alright, you're good to go." Ratch said, "Where am I? Who am I?" Orion said, dazed and jokingly. Ratchet got pissed and he bashed Orion's head with a wrench while saying, "Don't be stupid!"
"Alright, Ratch, he's been through enough for Primus's sake," Hound said. After that, they began to eat their dinner at the cafeteria, and Orion's head was steaming a bit. Every one of Orion's friends noticed but didn't question it much. "Hey, I thought you wanted to slay every Titan." One young cadet said, "Shut up, it takes time, you know. Everyone doesn't get it right away." Orion rolled his eyes as he said. "Sure, but it looks like I'm better than you." He said, 'Hey, I didn't get it right away either! I fell a few times, too!" BulkHead said. "Shut up, green guy, I wasn't talking to you." He said before slapping BulkHead, but was held back by Hound, "And I believe we weren't talking to you. And don't touch my brother, you son of a bitch!" Hound yelled before flipping him onto his back.
Everyone gasped except Raja and Arcee. "Are you guys gonna fight?" BumbleBee asked, "Yes, we are!" The other cadet said, "Look here, Clyde. I don't wanna fight." Hound said, "Looks like you got no choice!" Clyde said before trying to hit Hound, and Hound was about to hit as well before Arcee got between them. "Hey, this is a stupid argument. Why don't you both stop before it gets worse?" Arcee asked sternly. Hound nodded while Clyde gasped, "S-Sure thing..." Clyde said. "Good, now I expect you to get a chill pill, and don't talk to each other about bull shit." Raja said, "Yes, ma'am." Hound said. "Heh, finally, entertainment was here until I got blown away by girls." Beryl said, laughing along with Rain and Causeway. [Idk how made Causeway, but I dislike her horribly, bc whoever made her, tried making copy Optimus's design bc in my opinion had no idea what her design was so made her a copycat of Prime. Just my opinion, but that's how I see it.] The instructor came, "What the hell is going on here?" He asked, "Uh, arm wrestling, sir!" Orion replied to his commanding officer. "Arm wrestling. Well, that sounds stupid, time for bed! Lights out, get in your bunks!" He commanded. Orion was not expecting that go sound so funny, but it did, but everyone turned off lights, went to their cabin, male section and female section.
Orion shared with Hound, Ratchet, BulkHead, BumbleBee, WheelJack, which he's rarely around, Beryl, Clyde, and Rain.
While for the females, Arcee, Raja, Arcee's sisters, Ella and Elita, and Arcee's cousin Airachnid, which rarely seen too, and Causeway. Everyone went to sleep.
