[Ever since Ken got back to base after Sol Saviour's first combination, all anyone might have seen of him in the time since is, well...]

WUOOOOOOOH!

[Him taking his training regimen to new, absurd levels. He didn't go anywhere without weights the lengths of his forelimbs. Several push ups, pull ups, sit ups, and whatever else he could think of were made before and after he entered every room. And that little gym he made for himself in the 'fake' city which covers the entrance of the base? Yeah, that's getting some real usage as he punches pretty much everything he can. Interrupt...?]

[Or do you want to try approaching him when he's in his room instead? Removing the weights as he readies for bed, Ken cringes several times over as he moves his hands over bruises, before returning to a default, sullen mood.]

...In a way... that was almost what happened to him.

[He began driving once more, taking another turn as faint lights reflected off his windows.]

Iacon. It was the capital city of Cybertron. Where the fighting had been the most brutal. Then Megatron arrived to personally oversee the battle... death... destruction... carnage.

[Optimus remembered it all too vividly. Vast vistas and towers crumbling under their own weight from the damage. Flame and fire raging almost non stop. Shattered bodies littering the streets in pieces.]

Orion Pax was in one of the battles that had been in Megatron's path. He resisted with all his might, and despite his best efforts... was rendered close to death. He had lay under the burning, crumbling remains of a once great city. Energon flowing from his wounds and systems failing...

He would have perished were it not for the assistance of Alpha Trion... one of the oldest of our race, and a figure of great respect. Yet despite his close encounter with death... Orion Pax still wished to fight.

He was questioned... "Why throw away your life so recklessly? Why go into battle with little hope of victory and sacrifice yourself so readily?"

It was then Orion spoke the reason for this. "I cannot allow others to carry this burden by themselves. If I can shoulder some of the weight for them, then so be it."
