Chapter 3 - Chapter 3: A Legend Begins in Blood

A couple cybertronian days pass by, Maximus Prime the newly elected leader of Cybertron is preparing to give a public statement of thanks and gratitude to the people. Then some shocking news that, Sentinel will not be attending the ceremony is stated by his media representatives.

To understand further, so basically the top 5 candidates of the election will be given roles in the cybertronian hierarchy. So all 5 candidates must also attend the ceremony for their respective roles in the system to be publicly annoucned.

So Sentinel not attending it's a pretty big deal. Theories and conspiracies fly around all over causing lots of controversy trying to the reasons and cause to this but either way the show must continue.

As trumpets, confetti fill the calm beautiful blue skies we transition to Orion performing his daily routines as a young optimistic librarian, his close friend Jazz with his swift, swagger in his step arrives to inform Orion about the ceremony about to commence.

Jazz: Yo! Pax what's good my man

Orion: Hey! jazz am alright nothing much with me you know the usual business

Jazz: Yea yea, l get ya! hey don't forget OP the ceremony starts soon man

Orion: Oh! scrap almost forgot, well about time l was starting to get some rust on my paint

Jazz: Since when did you start making quips, anyway lets roll out

As the two bots transform and exit the building. They arrive in the nick of time as Maximus and the other primes dramatically step out from the curtains with pride and confiedence, as the crowd cheers!

Maximus just doing a last minute revision of his Speech in his head, beigns with.

''Hello! and welcome to all you amazing people, so to kick start this event l would like to give a sweet heartwarming speech of my gratitude to you all. My whole life has been filled with trauma and emotional torment, I watched my own brother get killed infront of my optics, watched as my family crumbled under the corrupt policy of our previous oppressors, been told my very existence is a burden to everyone around me. But the one thing l did was that despite all that l never gave UP! and you shouldn't either people.''

As the camera pans over to Orion and Megatronus as Maximus is speaking in the background. Megatronus watching from the crowd mumbles ''he talks as if his some kind of God, a symbol of hope my chassis'' we shift our attention to Orion as he notices something out of the ordinary.

Two tall figuers coverd in black are moving amoungst the crowd.

Orion: Yo Jazz you see those two.

Jazz: Yea what about?

Orion: l have strange gut feeling about them, like something is about to go wrong

Jazz: Oh your just being paranoid Op, relax my guy it's supposed to be a good day today what could go wrong, plus we got the best security in the whole of Cybertron here incase something happens.

Orion: Well l guess your right, but am not letting my guard down.

As Maximus says ''and my last message is that even in our darkest hours there will always be a light a symbol of hope, peace and compassion just waiting in the shadows amoungst us for the spot light to come before them.'' 

Orion notices one of the mysterious men pull out a blaster! and is aiming directly at Maximus head. Orion shouts ''Maximus look out!" as he leaps infront of the shot and Boom! Orion falls to ground as a gapping hole is in his chest just barely missing his spark.

The crowd screams! in panick as chaos erupts, Maximus and the others are swiftly rushed away from the scence. Jazz rushes to his half dead friend asking for help from anyone''Orion!, Orion! please man wake up, hello anyone he needs immediate medical attention! hello!'' but unfortunately his calls go slilent under the shrieking around the area. As the two mysterious men disappear in the shadows never to be seen again.
