Chapter 468 Fighting Teacher

Master Titanium stared at the display screen, flames broke out all over Cybertron, and this scene made him almost despair. He had seen such a scene before. He had fought on Cybertron. That war caused the Cybertronians to kill each other and even almost brought a devastating disaster to the planet and the structure of their universe - the War of the Thirteen Primitives.

Now, a similar war seems to be imminent.

A display screen was showing the explosion scene from the Unbreakable City, recreating the Cybertron scene that Master Titanium had seen from another angle—ruins, fire, smoke, grief, and broken limbs everywhere. A deliberately adjusted voice appeared above the message, claiming responsibility for the attacks.

"We stand for the underclass, for the forgotten, for the downtrodden. We rise up and resist!"

Orion Pax climbed the stairs with a worried look on his face and headed straight for the archivist's room.

Orion Pax believes that no matter who the culprit is, these serial explosions are undoubtedly unnecessary and are outright terrorist attacks, but he has to admit that the serial explosions cannot be said to have no positive effects. As Megatron said, at least these explosions have made the entire Cybertron talk about this new radical movement and resistance to the deep-rooted class system.

For many Cybertronians, this was the first time since they awakened from the Allspark that they realized that they might not have to live in a certain way.

Orion Pax was in a state of confusion and walked faster and faster, almost running to the door of the record room. Master Titanium was already standing at the door of the data collection area waiting for him.

"I need advice."

Orion Pikes said.

Master Titanium nodded:

"You need more than advice."

They went in together.

…

"It means war is coming."

Master Titanium said as he walked.

Orion Pax nodded.

He knew this clearly.

Master Titanium tapped the table with the stylus in his hand:

"And you have no choice, Orion Pax, but to be at the center of this war."

Orian Pax didn't understand the fatalism in Master Tai's words. After a moment's impulse, he found that he was completely unprepared for this. He was just a data recorder and had never participated in a battle. What role could he play in the war? Would the series of chain reactions after the serial explosions really lead to war?

Orian Pax stood there without saying anything.

However, it was beyond his expectation.

Master Titanium didn't blame himself.

"It's really hard to accept to become a completely unfamiliar character." Master Titanium said to Orion.

There seems to be a hidden meaning in the words.

"yes."

Orion Pax nodded in acknowledgment.

Master Titanium continued:

"What do you think of Megatron?"

"Why do you ask me? You are the archivist, and you saw everything I saw."

"But I haven't met him. Don't pretend, Orion, you've met him face to face, right?"

Orion Pax was surprised. He hadn't intended to deceive Master Triumph, but he did hope that he would never mention that he had ever met Megatron.

"Yes," Orion admitted, "There's no need to pretend. I've seen him before. There's no need to hide it."

"Then let me ask you again, what do you think of him?"

Master Titanium asked.

"He was a leader and had a lot of followers."

Orion Pax says:

"More than anyone would believe. He shares the same ideals as me, and he genuinely wants the best for Cybertron. That's how I feel about Megatron."

After he finished speaking, he waited for a long time but didn't get a response from Master Titanium, so he took the initiative to ask again:

"What do you think?"

"This is how I feel about Megatron."

Master Titanium opened the big book on the table, but closed it without reading the contents of the pages:

"You can rest assured that he believes in what he publicly claims. What you must consider is that his methods may eventually undermine his ideals."

Orion Pax was silent.

Master Titanium said nothing, letting him think for himself.

After a while, Master Titanium finally asked,

"What conclusion did you come to?"

Orion Pax replied:

"Whatever Megatron believes in, I must be by his side and regulate his practices."

"Do you think he ordered the bombing?"

Master Titanium asked.

Orion Pax shook his head and said:

"No, I don't think so."

"Why don't you think so?"

Master Titanium continued to ask.

"I also hope that I can argue with reason."

Orion Pax said seriously:

"But I have only one reason. If Megatron ordered and planned the explosion, he would let everyone know that it was him who did it."

Master Titanium smiled and did not answer.

Instead, he changed the subject and said,

"Remember, Orion Pax, when the war really comes, you will see the nature of those who participate in it. Maybe you don't know about-"

"Yes." Orion Pax rushed to say, "As for Megatron's true identity, I don't know."

Master Titanium stared at him. Orion Pax suddenly felt a little embarrassed. It was indeed rude to interrupt others. Then the archive director continued in a sharp tone:

"Only fools would interrupt their elders. This war, if it comes, can make you see yourself clearly, the real you. Remember what I said, you go down."

…

Orion Pax was quickly slapped in the face.

After meeting Master Titanium, he spoke to Megatron.

"Things are getting a little out of control."

Orion said to Megatron.

"Some things are bound to happen, things that cannot be controlled." Megatron said calmly, "We must understand that not every Cybertronian will just wait, talk, and negotiate. Some will take action."

Megatron's words alerted Orion:

"You mean to say that you knew there would be an explosion?"

Megatron also chose his words carefully:

"I said I heard something was going to happen."

Orion Pax was shocked to hear this. It suddenly occurred to him that he and Megatron had far less in common than he had expected. Their goals were the same, yes, but now it seemed that their methods were completely different, and perhaps they had never been the same at all.

"I'm still speaking for you!"

Orion Pax said angrily.

"Listen to me, brother."

Megatron raised his hand and said soothingly:

"I knew it was going to happen. Yes. I didn't stop it. Why? Because I couldn't stop it. I couldn't control it. What are we fighting for? Isn't it for the idea that no Cybertronian's life should be controlled by others? I don't want them to carry out terrorist attacks. I don't want innocent people to die. Unfortunately, the truth is cruel."

Megatron was still trying to argue.

Orion had turned off the communication in anger.

…

Iron Fort, observation platform.

There were three people sitting alone, two adults and one child.

Two Cybertronians and one human.

"Do you regret it?"

Jazz asked, taking a sip of his drink.

"Somewhat."

Orion Pax admitted it.

"Pax, what do you think he wants?"

The Jazz suddenly turned around and asked seriously.

Orion Pax thought for a moment.

Finally, he slowly spoke,

"He wants Cybertron to return to what it once was. In the Cybertron of the past, when you were created from the Well of the Allspark, you were not destined to belong to a certain guild or class forever. In that Cybertron, everyone had all kinds of possibilities. In that Cybertron, people looked to the stars, dared to fight the Quintessons, dared to challenge themselves, and longed for unlimited expansion."

"That's your ideal."

The Jazz said calmly:

"Stop pretending."

Orion Pax thought for a moment.

"Yes, that's right, that's my ideal."

He agreed.

"Very good. I'm not saying you're wrong, but I want to remind you that this line of thinking is very dangerous. How do you think the Supreme Council will react to this idea? Do you think they really want to go back to the past?"

Jazz smiled to himself.

"If I can't do the right thing myself, how can I expect anyone else to do it?"

Orion Pax asked rhetorically.

Jazz nodded and they looked up at the deep black sky.

"Well," the Jazz said, "don't be surprised when you find that others don't support you."

"Did I ever tell you that Megatron once said that if he thought I was a traitor, he would come and defeat me?"

Orion Pax asked.

"interesting."

The Jazz narrowed his eyes and replied:

"That's what he said?"

Orion Pax nodded.

"Then you can take care of yourself."

The Jazz said seriously:

"Since he said this, it means that he is basically certain that you will betray him."

"Master Titanium said that war is inevitable."

Orion Pax said seriously:

"I'd better start learning how to fight."

"It's a bit too late for you to start learning fighting techniques now. But speaking of fighting techniques..."

Jazz suddenly turned his head to the side:

"You have a great choice in front of you."

Fu Qinghai was staring at the sky in a daze, when he suddenly noticed that the two Cybertronians were staring at him and asked,

"What's going on?"

"You mean Qingshan?"

Orion Pax asked doubtfully.

"Yes, that's right."

The Jazz nodded and said:

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have found it hard to imagine that a dwarf less than three meters tall could possess such powerful and abnormal fighting skills. You didn't see how he played with those three gladiators. The whole process was like dancing on the edge of a knife. If you weren't careful, you would have died!"

The description of Jazz waving his arms is very exaggerated.

Fu Qinghai thought that it was not that thrilling.

After all, there are almost no weapons that can penetrate vibranium.

"Hey, watch your attitude."

Fu Qinghai interrupted unhappily,

"Who are you saying is the dwarf race?"

"Qingshan, who are you in your universe?"

Orion Pax asked curiously.

"You can understand it as... a general."

Fu Qinghai shrugged and said.

"General, have you ever fought in a war?"

Orion asked next.

"That's nonsense. What general doesn't fight in battles?"

Fu Qinghai frowned and said strangely:

"We have wars almost every day there."

"Whoa, listen to that, listen to that."

The Sir became even more pleased with his suggestion.

Facing Fu Qinghai's puzzled gaze, Orion Pax coughed lightly and had to explain:

"In fact, Cybertron hasn't fought a war for thousands of years. Except for the veterans of the Skyforge, many other officers have never seen a real battlefield since their service."

"oh..."

Fu Qinghai finally understood where the problem lay.

At first, he was very cautious, thinking that the people he defeated in the arena of Kalon City were all miners among the Cybertronians, and he had never encountered a real professional soldier. As a result, he never expected that Cybertron had not fought a war for thousands of years since it repelled the Quintessons. As the head of the Parliament Legion, Gauntlet had never commanded any battle.

The long period of peace almost made the Parliament Legion forget how to fight, no wonder the Decepticons easily blew up so many cities - although the Gladiators' weapons and equipment were not good, they had more combat experience than the Parliament Legion. This is the Transformers United Universe. In contrast, the Warhammer 40K Universe Human Empire is at war almost every moment.

War experience is very important. In the real world, the US military is the world's strongest army, not only because they have the highest military expenditure, the most advanced military technology, and the largest standing military force in the world... but also because the US military is fighting wars almost every year. Regardless of the asymmetry of the war form, at least the war experience is extremely rich, which no other country can match.

Of course, Fu Qinghai also knew that the Cybertronians had a very long lifespan. For humans, not having fought a war for thousands of years was almost equivalent to military disarray. But for the Cybertronians, perhaps this period of time was not very long.

"Qingshan, teach me how to fight!"

Orion Pax's eyes lit up.

"I can teach you how to fight, but I have one condition."

Fu Qinghai stretched out a finger.

"What conditions?"

Orion Pax asked.

"You can't join him anyway."

Fu Qinghai said seriously.

"who is he?"

"Megatron."

…

Orion Pax began to learn to fight, finding time to practice every stellar cycle. He learned to use the mechanical weapons that his original form transformed into, mainly ion cannons and energy blasters. He also practiced using swords and axes as sidearms, mastering their control, ejection, and retraction. He always used Megatron as his imaginary enemy in his simulated battles, and that guy had been gambling his life into every battle for most of his life.

Jazz also joined in the preparations. They fought together, learned from each other, and practiced their respective fighting skills. Orion Pax found that he liked the sound of metal colliding during fighting, which made him very excited. After each practice, his circuits would buzz with the energy stimulated by the battle, and he even began to dread returning to his quiet workstation.

The inherent rift in his friendship with Megatron was becoming clearer now. Orion believed that the difference between him and Megatron was in the means - that change should be achieved through political means: spreading new ideas, watching those ideas spread, attracting enough supporters, and then bringing such ideas to the attention of the High Council and the Archenemy.

This is what Orion Parkes advocated.

But Megatron did not agree with this claim.

It was almost inevitable that the two of them would go their separate ways.

…

On this day, Fu Qinghai used the Pym ray pistol as usual to enlarge his body to the same size as Orion Pax, and then began to teach him fighting techniques.

Pym rays are equivalent to the monkey version of Pym particles. They cannot shrink into the quantum realm, nor can they grow into giants. They can only grow or shrink within a certain range. The advantage is that they do not need to wear special uniforms. And just like Ant-Man, although the power is doubled after using Pym rays to grow larger, the body's energy consumption increases and the movement becomes slow, so Fu Qinghai rarely uses Pym rays to enlarge his body size - "slow movement" is very fatal to his fighting style.

"All fighting techniques are based on body structure, Orion Pax. You are a Cybertronian, and I am a human. Our body structures are completely different, so I will only teach you the most basic fighting theory. You need to comprehend and learn the specific fighting techniques yourself. Do you understand?"

"I understand, Mr. Aoyama."

Orion nodded solemnly.

Then the two began practical teaching.

Refers to Fu Qinghai unilaterally beating Orion.

Just then, Jazz came in.

"Something bad has happened, you two!"

They both turned their heads:

"What happened?"

The knight took a breath and said quickly:

"The last time the Decepticons made a public appearance was in Soaring Sky City. Then, ten minutes after he appeared, Soaring Sky City was attacked by unknown armed forces. The Decepticons have now disappeared, and the Decepticons have claimed responsibility for the incident!"
