Transformers Rescue Bots - The Present

93: Crowns - S

Cody asks questions, Blades and Heatwave tell more than an answer.

"You really want to know how a bot is a Prime?" Blades asks, questioning if that was really what was about to be discussed right now.

"Yeah, wasn't Optimus always a Prime or was that not the case?" They had no idea what could've had Cody interested with this topic, but they decided to not question it since what he was asking contained zero inappropriate or harmful things to it.

"A Prime isn't someone born from a high line of CNA if that is what you're asking." Heatwave tells him, trying to recall some knowledge at the moment. "Primes are not born to the leadership that follows but are more so chosen for it."

"Yeah, there are certain things though that make one be worthy of such a position too." Blades adds on, clearly trying to figure stuff out. "I can't really say much since I have no idea how it works but I think Carrier would know more."

"Yeah, he would know way more than we do on that stuff." Heatwave says, knowing for a fact that he is now also stumped on what else could be added on the words that have already been said.

"How did Optimus even become a Prime then?"

Both bots were silent, as if they really weren't sure exactly how this would all be answered. Did they actually know the correct answer? No, they had absolutely no idea how Optimus actually became a Prime. There were many different stories from many different bots, but no one actually knew the real one.

"That is a question for Carrier." Blades finally says, something coming into his mind so suddenly. "Remember Orion?"

"Oh my Primus, YES!" Cody was so lost upon that reaction Heatwave had, since the boy himself had never heard his name be spoken for his entire life.

"Who's Orion?" Cody decides to question, seriously wondering who this bot was that both of them happened to know of.

"Orion Pax, an archivist and just so happened to have to take care of us every now and then through our lives." Blades answers. "In your terms, he would be like that cool Auntie everyone has that literally would let you do anything."

"What-"

"I still remember how many bots assumed we were related." Heatwave continues. "I looked so much like him to the point it was probably concerning."

"Huh-"

"He would let us do anything though!" Blades tells him, reminding him of those lovely times long ago. "Remember when we decided to prank him that one time and nearly-"

"Nearly caught the house on fire, or better yet, we actually did." Heatwave finishes off. "Not to mention he blamed the entire thing on what he was watching, which I'm pretty sure was that one gladiator that he was obsessed with or something."

"Uh." Cody had himself rather confused but regardless, he still had something on his mind. "What even happened to this Orion?"

"We don't know because he kind of just stopped visiting us eventually." Blades says. "We actually have no idea where he is now."

"He could be alive or dead Cody, but we are happy that he gave us something good for our lives." Heatwave couldn't actually believe he was saying that, despite normally focusing on the fact that his life only contained the worst of things. "I have no idea what I would do if he was still alive."

"Neither would I." Blades quickly agrees.

They will find out here soon. . . . . Somebody will eventually break it to them at some point.
