It was peaceful when Orion looked out over the balcony. He didn't need to work today, or any day. Because he was the boss. And he had no bosses.
"I got a really weird energy reading." A voice came from behind him. Orion turned sexily to meet his optics. It was Megatronus.
"Hmm?" Orion leaned agaisnt the balcony in a very arousing way.
Megatron blushed before hastily looking at a datapad, "Energy reading." He repeated and handed him the datapad.
"It's only a mile away!" Orion exclaimed excitedly. "We're going on a quest!"
He snorted, "You're going on a quest, I'm going to recharge." He grumbled.
"You're just letting me go out, alone." Orion started, "In uncharted Territories-"
"It's under a pet adoption centre."
"In distracting territories." Orion corrected, "With no backup, where I could be overrun in a instant."
"Fine." Megatronus grumbled.
It's good to know guilt tripping works.

They found themselves surrounded by Cybercats in a minute. "I wish you were a cat." Orion said.
"I don't."
"You'd make a good cat."
"I wouldn't." Megatronus mumbled as he wondered around, following the scanner's directions. Meanwhile, Orion was debating if he should adopt a cat. Or two. Maybe three or four. Six wouldn't hurt would it?
"Put down the cats and come over here." Megatronus said.
Orion put down the cats he didn't realize he was holding. "Ye?"
He pointed at a Manhole, a sewage circle.
"Is this your house?" Orion joked.
Megatronus scowled as he popped it open. The scanner started beeping rapidly.
"I'll make sure it's safe." Orion stepped forward valiantly and lowered himself in. His peds slapped the fluids when he landed. "Argh!"
"Squeamish?" Megatronus teased.
"Well you'd be used to it." Orion grumbled. His pristine frame deserved better. They eventually found a lever, Megatronus wasn't strong enough to flip it so Orion stepped forward. "Volla." He said as he flipped it, a circular door slid to the side.
The room inside looked ancient. "This could be of great historical value." Orion started, "Don't touch anything." He turned to see Megatronus bump into a very fragile vase. Orion yelped as he dove to catch it.
"Sorry." Megatronus said, not sounding sorry.
The room had many hieroglyphs engraved into the walls with many artistic pieces on stands, another chamber behind a partly open door. Then Orion spotted a gun like thing, he picked it up. It had a Cybertronian drawn on it, then an arrow pointing at a cat.
Was this some kind of cat worshiping society? Orion grew curious and pointed the gun at Megatronus, he trusted the drawings. And the drawings showed it was reversible or wore off.
He fired.
"What-" Megatronus started but was swallowed by a pink shroom cloud. When it cleared it revealed a grey cat.
Orion tried not to laugh, he really did. He failed miserably.
"You-" Megatronus looked down at himself. "You miserable lump of- look what you did!" Megatronus was as vivid as a cat.
"You're so cute." Orion bent down to pat him but was only scratched in response.
Suddenly there came a rumble. "What did you do know?" Megatronus asked, debating if he should claw at Orion's sexy peds.
"Nothing." He said and looked around, "There's another room." Orion said and pointed to the partly open door. "I can't fit." He said as the door wouldn't budge.
"Move aside." Megatronus strutted forward. He scrambled back out soon after.
"Huh?"
"There's a huge living stone army of cats!"
"What?"
"Huge cats made of stone! Lots of them! And they move!" He said as he clawed up Orion. Then the door flew open, golden eyes staring at them.
They did the only thing they could. Run!
"We need to-" Orion panted as he splashed through the sewers, Megatronus kept nice and dry on his shoulder, "Gather an army." He said dramatically in a hot, low voice.
"What makes you think they're hostile?" Megatronus asked.
Orion glanced back to see an army of snarling and hissing cats. "Have you looked back?"
"Maybe they want to be pet?" Megatronus suggested.
"That's what you want!"
"Most certainly not! Ladder!" Megatronus said and Orion spotted the ladder. They made it to the surface and immediately called armed forces.
"What?" They asked.
"There's a living stone army of cats after us! They're huge!"
They hung up.
"They hung up!" Orion exclaimed. "Why didn't they attack us before?" Orion asked as the cats popped out of the sewers, optics on Orion only. Other Cybertronians scrambled away.
"Get to the choppa!" Megatronus yelled.
"We don't have a choppa!"
"Then lead them out of the city, or better yet, to the council!" Megatronus yelled.
Orion drove out of the city, Megatronus hooking in his claws to stay on. The stone cats were still in pursuit.
"Orion." Megatronus started as they stopped at the edge of the sea of rust, "If this is our last stand, I want you to know-"
"Save it, we'll make it." Orion said sexily.
"-I love you, I just wanted you to know that. I see you as more than a friend." Megatronus choked out as Orion put him down.
Orion got down to his level and put a servo on his helm, "I see you as a cat, Megatronus."
"You glitch-" He didn't appreciate being cat-zoned but was interrupted by the stomps of the cats.
Orion stood his ground, he was strong and valiant! And had a gun that could turn stuff into cats. Not sure how that was gonna help. He picked up Megatronus with his throwing arm.
"What are you doing?"
"Yeet!" Orion yelled as he tossed Megatronus at the cats.
Megatronus was yowling. And the attack was not as effective as he thought it would be. Megatronus scrambled back to Optimus quickly, "I think they're after the gun!"
So Orion threw the Cat anator, and they were gone in seconds, with the gun. "Wait a minute..." Megatronus started, "How am I gonna turn back?"
"It'll wear off." Orion said as he sat down.
Megatronus looked up at him expectantly.
"I see you as a cat." He repeated.
"Frag you."
