Crossguard returned the hollow pad back to the registry as he proceeded to walk through the door to gladiator holding room as the registrator looked through his information we're shocked A contestant wielding a guardbreaker Loser only wielded by high-ranking members of the elite or prime guard.
(Context guardbreaker is the name I gave Optimus shield from last knight it was welded by very few as it is an extremely powerful and versatile weapon I think one means you either come from prestige or you are a member of the elite guard/prime guard)
Immediately the registrator had called up to the prime Observatory meanwhile crossguard was stalking around he was sent to the weapons bay to pick out some weapons even though we already had a weapon it was own he saw two shotguns they had 2 barrels they were Cybertronian pump shotguns he picked them up and immediately attach them to his back hostlers over his sword hostler after coming across another sword it was the basic Cybertronian long sword he took and attached it to his hip holster suddenly the time for picking weapons was over as the elevator went up to the battlefield there was a speaker blaring.
"Attention all gladiators this is the 100th icon 1000 so as a special anniversary gift anyone who is the sole winner of the icon 1000 gets two wishes instead of the usual one good luck"
Suddenly the door opened up as he stepped into the arena so did 999 other contestants he noticed one of them really far away just across from him his eyes widen slightly trailblazer he muttered inwardly his objective was to win but he The new objective protect his first and probably only friend suddenly they heard a dinging noise as fighting began bullets flying others going in for the Melee combat crossguard sighed he had to get to trailblazer as fast as possible immediately he started running forward his gigantic footsteps rumbling through the ground.
What is the more gutsy gladiators shot at crossguard right in the shoulder plate causing a couple of small pieces to go flying immediately he reached behind his back pulled out one of his shotguns and pulled the trigger the recoil was so much it caused his arm to jerk a bit Is the bullets spread out in the direction two of them hit two other gladiators in the left torso The other four bullets hit The gladiator that shot crossguard all over his body crossguard than kicked bullet pelted gladiator away trailblazer was currently behind cover in a shootout suddenly crossguard Poundstone as one of the gladiators jumped on his face transforming their arm into a bludgeon started hitting him on the head with it as crossguard stumbled around.
Meanwhile in the Observatory of the primes they were watching the battle but solid prime noticed a cybertronian wielding a obsessive amount of melee weapons until he noticed it solus prime stood up and shout it solus prime:"gladiator has a guardbreaker on him" The other primes looked at his finger and saw what he was talking about They watched as the unknown gladiator pulled the other gladiator off his face slammed them into the ground before pointing his guard breaker at their chest and unleashing the bullet puncturing a giant hole straight through the gladiators body suddenly another gladiator tried to jump him his guard breaker suddenly revealed it's hidden blade as spun around the blade carved clean through the other gladiator as they were split in half.
The primes noticed he was making his way towards specifically one gladiator a rookie guard at the scrapyard suddenly servant came in with a note alpha trion picked it up as a hologram reveal the information.
'A contestant who had registered not only possessed a guardbreaker but also on his information declared to be a cybertronian knight' suddenly all of crossguard information appeared before all the primes even his appearance as they looked back down towards the gladiator arena there was only 700 contestants left and the gladiator with the guardbreaker looked exactly like the hologram.
(If you're wondering what he looks like his body type is literally the cover of the novel)
Back inside to Gladiator Arena crossguard hold out both shotguns as he jumped to the side dodging the rocket pulling both the triggers sending a total of 12 bullet piercing one of his enemies as he dumped the now The shells he reloaded turned around he was just going to knock away one of the gladiators paint another one down shut the gladiator in the head completely tearing apart any brain processor in their lifted another one off the ground with a shotgun barrel pulled the trigger and blasted a hole straight through them sending him flying into the air before slamming back down onto the cold metal ground.
Just a couple inches to go and he would be at his destination Trailblazer was about to get snuck by another gladiator protective instincts kicked in as crossguard grabbed his sword in his hip holster and threw it as the sword did a spin through the air impaled the gladiator causing trailblazer to look behind him as crossguard made it their The group of gladiators teamed up and started unleashing bullets on him he jerked his arm causing his guard breaker to start charging up turned around and the guard breaker started firing multiple rounds everyone's blowing away the gladiators that were shooting at him.
Crossguard Proceeded to backhand Trail Blazer Cover as trailblazer started shooting at him cross guard used to shield of his guardbreaker to block the bullets crossguard whispered crossguard:"hey it's me 8D-251 I explain later" trailblazer trusted it was his friend from the scrapyard Suddenly he noticed the gladiators trying to get a jump as he immediately rolled out the way of crossguard and started unloading his Machine gun arm causing the gladiators to scatter suddenly one of the gladiators in the corner with a sniper pulled the trigger as the bullet came speeding towards trailblazer crossguard in front using his shield to block the bullet suddenly a cybertron gladiator in jet mode flew by dropping missiles immediately.
Oscar raised his shield to the sky and trailblazer but under him as missiles rained around them The shield managed to catch one of the missiles I just exploded and knocked crossguard off balance immediately he used the gun mode on his guard breaker I started firing at the jet as well as the bullets proceeded to clip the jet wing The gladiator crashed into another gladiator causing an explosion trailblazer currently covering crossguard's backside blasting anyone who tried to approach him from behind when another gladiator jumped off the wall trying to latch onto crossguard back Press guard immediately turned around and backhanded the gladiator with his shield sending him flying across the arena I need to get hit with a bullet from the guardbreaker splitting the gladiator cleanly into two half.
2 hours later it was only trailblazer And crossguard left Just as trailblazer was expecting the greatest betrayal of his life crossguard spoke "I forfeit the icon 1,000" trailblazer was surprised maybe it really was his scrapper friend from the scrapyard aside from that by default he was now the winner the primes descended from the elevator as crossguard sat The edge of the arena solus prime spoke with dignity and pride in his voice solus prime:"guard 8925 designation trailblazer what are your two wishes" trailblazer thought hard trailblazer:"I wish that The scrappers were free and for my second wish they had transformation cog's" solus and the other primes never heard of wish so noble.
Nonetheless they granted his wish as for Crossguard he finally understood why trailblazer entered the icon 1000 in the first place it was so he could win the freedom of the scrappers just when he thought trail blazer couldn't be even better of an bot he really was something else suddenly nova prime spoke nova prime:"hey gladiator you're coming to our counselor room" Only members of the elite guard Rushton as they explained that cross guard will be escorted to chamber of prime's.
Some reason he could tell I was going to be a lot of questions that he was going to need a lot of answers lot of which those answers he did not have at all could only hope they didn't ask too many questions or to complex ones.
