Chapter Text
In the Cybertron was a peaceful day, Ultra Magnus is the Supreme Leader of the Autobots and Commander of the Autobot Elite Guard. And ruler of all Cybertron since the ongoing war was still on and nothing had happened yet....
The commander was part of the high council as the chairman...the member of the high council are Alpha Trion...Botanica... Perceptor...Highbrow, Ultra Magnus was known to be a respective bot and a powerful warrior on all galaxy...his weapon was a mighty hammer and capable of summoning lighting with his Magnus hammer. Of course everyone respect and support the older bot due his history and reputation, everyone worship and praise him for saving their planet and home...or that's what everyone thought of him....
"here you go sir, this is the last report" Elite guard said as he place down some data-pads on his desk and look at the Supreme leader who was reading them With a nod, Ultra Magnus acknowledges the Elite Guard, his optics remaining fixed on the data-pads before him. The reports detailed routine maintenance schedules, Autobot patrols, and even a few instances of Decepticon activity on the outer edges of Cybertron. Nothing out of the ordinary...yet. His massive hands gently placed the data-pads aside, his optics focusing intently on the reports. As he finished, he leaned back in his throne-like chair, his powerful frame dwarfing the elegant furnishings. His voice echoed through the chamber, commanding attention. "Very well. Any new developments?"
The Elite guard shook his helm with a no as there is none, he had his hand behind his back and began to speak in a calm and quiet voice "No sir..."
The Elite Guard's response was met with a subtle nod from Ultra Magnus. His expression remained stoic, his optics reflecting the calmness within the room. he leaned forward, his voice taking on a more serious tone. "Keep me informed if anything changes. Dismissed." The Elite Guard nodded and turned to leave.
With the Elite Guard dismissed, the Office fell silent once more. Ultra Magnus remained seated, his massive hands opening a file he had kept hidden. The file contained detailed information on a mech named Orion Pax, or simply 'Orion'. Ultra Magnus had been watching this young mech's progress closely.
As Ultra Magnus flipped through the pages, his optics landed on a particular entry that caught his attention. Orion Pax had been struggling with his practical exams, his expression turned from stoic to something more...sinister, the fact that seemed to amuse the Supreme Leader. A small, cruel smirk played at the corners of his lips, his mind already formulating a plan as he closed the file. "Perfect..."
(later at Autobot Academy...)
"You wanted to what?" Kup surprised and held his cigar, he stare at Ultra Magnus which the Supreme leader seem to want to help Orion to pass his practical exam "w-well I didn't expect you to be so helpful" he said...he was unaware that Ultra Magnus wasn't actually doing that at all...Kup didn't know what the Supreme leader was planning
Ultra Magnus's expression remained calm and composed as he spoke to Kup, his plan hidden beneath a veil of concern and helpfulness. He knew Kup would never suspect his true intentions. "I merely wish to ensure that Orion Pax reaches his full potential. His struggles with the practical exams are...disheartening." He maintained his stoic expression, playing the role of the helpful Supreme Leader perfectly.
Kup stare at him for a few minutes without getting suspicious or having a bad feeling, he took a long drag into his cigar and let out a blow as he speak "If that's what it is...then maybe it's the best Orion should have a tutor..."
The Supreme leader optics glinted with an unseen malice as he listened to Kup agreeing to his suggestion. He had played this perfectly, hiding his true intentions behind a facade of concern. He spoke again, his voice steady and authoritative. "Excellent."
Kup called Orion to come into his office... after a few hours the door slide open with a hiss, As a short young mech step inside and the door close behind him, he stare and spoke "I-I'm here..." He replied which it was Orion, he stare at them in silence
Ultra Magnus's gaze fell upon the small, delicate mech standing before them. His optics took in every detail, Orion Pax was shorter than most cybertron, his colors were a soft red and moderate blue, his skin shade slightly lighter. His lips were soft and full, making him appear almost fragile. He had large, innocent optics that made him seem younger than his age. He noted the soft lips and the gentle expression, finding it all too perfect for his plans.
"Oh Orion!" Kup said and approach which Orion stare as the old mech gave him a pat in the back and speak "Ultra Magnus wanted to help you since he found out your having problems..." He explained, Orion blink and felt a bit surprised as he look at The Supreme leader and back at Kup "I-I mean...I don't mind..."
Ultra Magnus watched as he looked between the two of them. He could see the innocence and naivety written all over his face, making him appear even softer. His innocent expression and shy demeanor made him the perfect victim for his twisted games. feeling confident in his ability to manipulate the naive mech, Ultra Magnus stepped forward, his large hand reaching out to gently pat Orion's head in a gesture that seemed almost paternal, but hid deeper intentions. His voice was warm and reassuring as he spoke. "I simply wish to ensure you pass those troublesome exams."
Orion look as he stare at the Supreme leader with long silence...he didn't say anything at first...he took a moment to think through his process until he finally speak "Um...o-okay" he finally agreed to let Ultra Magnus tutor him after all...he just wanted to pass his practical exam...
Hearing Orion's innocent and trusting response, Ultra Magnus knew he could easily manipulate him. He was like a small, innocent spark compared to the other rough and tough warriors. He was too naive to realize when someone was being fake nice. Ultra Magnus hid a dark smirk, planning his first move.
