...
Moving on to the Autobots section.
Focusing on Elita-1 who was in her room. She sat down and stared at the mirror.
He looked very nervous, but then he took a brush and painted the appropriate colors on his face.
"There's no point in you dressing yourself up... because you can't get the person you want!" Elita-1 said to herself.
Elita-1 was really stressed because she kept thinking that she was the reason Optimus would not love her anymore.
But Elita-1 strangely never cried. She only showed a sad expression, but never shed a tear.
Elita-1 then decided to leave her room and go check the situation around the base.
Elite-1 is walking there.
She is very often greeted by other members. Of course because Elita-1 is a very friendly person. And also very gentle.
In the middle of his journey he met one of the Autobots. The person was a gatekeeper who was taking a break.
"Miss Elita!" the man called.
"Yes, how are you?" said Elita-1.
"I'm fine, how about you?" the person asked.
"I'm fine. You're resting, come... I'll brew some oil for you and the others too." Elita-1 said in her soft voice.
...
"I know you're not okay!" said the man in front of him.
These words of a guard really sounded very serious to Elita-1.
Elita-1 then looked at the person with a little confusion.
"You're stressed. It must be really hard for you. Miss, I know no man can resist you. But look at Optimus, your childhood friend hates you. But you don't have to live with one man like that. There are many other men who can make you happy... And I can make you happy forever." the man said.
Elita-1 then felt uncomfortable with the guard man. Because his conversation sounded strange.
"Ahem!!" Sideswipe's voice.
Luckily, Sideswipe was there sweeping, accidentally seeing Elita-1 being teased.
Sideswipe immediately reprimanded the man who was teasing Elita-1.
"Hey, you sound pushy Miss Elita. Stop that, if other people hear it they will hate you!" said Sideswipe.
After being reprimanded by Sideswipe, the male guard seemed to not accept it.
"I'm not forcing anyone, I'm just stating the facts, it's better for Miss Elita-1 to be with me!!" said the guard.
Then the Guard Man started to lose his mind, he dared to touch Miss Elita-1. And tightly held her shoulders, saying. "I love you Elita! I love! I love! I love! I love you so much! You are so beautiful! So beautiful! Marry me! Be my wife!!"
The situation was getting serious, then Sideswipe immediately shouted for the guards, "Security!! Security!! Help us here!!!"
Then some guards and security team immediately went there. They then forcibly pulled the crazy guard man.
"I love you!! Elita!! Anything!! I want you to be mine!!!" shouted the crazy man.
Elita-1 was shocked and frightened by what had just happened before her.
The crazy man was immediately injected with a sedative and immediately made him pass out.
Then Ratchet came who happened to hear the commotion.
"What's going on? I heard screaming!" Ratchet said.
"Are you okay, Miss Elita?" Sideswipe asked.
"What's going on, Sides?" Ratchet asked.
"Earlier a guard suddenly went crazy and he forced Miss Elita!...
... I went to get a glass of water!" said Sideswipe.
Elita-1 looked shocked and she was scared. Elita-1 looked trembling.
Sideswipe excused himself and quickly got a glass of water for Miss Elita-1.
Ratchet then immediately brought Elita-1 to sit on a chair nearby.
"Calm down... ... I'm very scary! Calm down!" Ratchet said trying to calm Elita-1 down.
Sideswipe then came with his glass of water. Ratchet immediately gave it to Elita-1 to drink it immediately.
"Have a drink to clear your mind!" Ratchet said.
Elita-1 then took the glass of water. Surprisingly, she finished the cup of water from the jumbo-sized glass immediately.
Elita-1 then tried to regulate her breathing slowly. Trying to calm her breathing due to the fear she felt.
"It seems... the Transformers have gone mad because of me!" said Elita-1, looking sad.
"This isn't your fault, Elita. That man is indeed crazy. Just think of it as over, you don't need to worry. I will treat that man medically. He will definitely recover soon!"
"... ..."
Elita-1 then stood up and then said even though her face was still scared. "Okay... don't let him get hurt badly. This isn't his fault... ... ... I'll go first!"
Elita-1 then said goodbye to leave.
In short he went back into his room. Then he sat down and looked back into the mirror at himself.
"... ... I'm not that pretty though!... ..." said Elita-1
Elita-1 then went to lie down on her bed. And contemplated staring at the actor in her room. Her feelings were mixed. She felt annoyed, sad, and depressed.
"Oh Primus... ... Can I be happy without Optimus?" said Elita-1 who looked very desperate.
Elita-1 then decided to get up from her room, then went to the Discussion room. It was also quiet there was no one there but her.
Elita-1 sat in the same place. On the bench where she would usually talk to Optimus.
But Optimus wasn't there.
Elita-1 sat down and on her desk she brewed two coffees. And again hoped that Optimus would meet her there.
While looking at something cube-shaped in the room.
"Huh... I know how you feel right now, Optimus. You've also found that thing....I feel it too..." Elita said while glancing at the cube on the table near the window.
Elita-1 then walked towards the glass window there. Then there she looked down and she looked sad, and this was the first time she shed tears.
"It feels like just yesterday I was talking to him... It feels so lonely... I know you feel this too, Optimus. And whatever you blame yourself for, it's still my fault. Because I'm weak!" Elita-1 said while crying there.
It seems that the thing that Elita-1 meant was really very valuable and she lost it. The proof is that Elita-1 has never been sad to the point of crying, that's because she always holds it in. But this time, she was really made to cry.
***
The scene then changes.
Into the Hall room, there are Hotrod, Bulkhead, Cliffjumper, Bumblebee, Cylob, Sideswipe, Wheeljack. They are having a discussion there.
"Just so you know, your base is bigger inside!" said Cliffjumper.
"Is the Matrix's power that great? It can make an object this big transparent and even... look like it doesn't exist." Bulkhead said.
"That's right, Optimus is a magician!" said Cylob.
"We need to start being good friends here. How about you tell us about yourselves so our friendship can get stronger!" said Hotrod.
"Oh, how about I start first? It's going to be a long story!" said Bumblebee.
"Oh no... make a long story short!" said Wheeljack.
Bumblebee then said, "Well... I'm 38 years old now. I like adventuring on missions. I aspire to replace Optimus and overthrow him... and then become... Badassatron!!"
"As far as I know, you used to be a very indifferent and lonely person! Or you're lying!" said Cylob.
"Oh Cylob... I just forgot. So making something up will add to the atmosphere. {whispers} So that I appear dominant."
"So that's how it is! You're such a cheerful person, how about Wheeljack? I'd like to thank you for helping me recover!" said Cliffjumper.
"Oh, that's my job!... Okay... Ehmmm... I'm a bit nervous... ... ... I'm the same age as Bumblebee. I studied medicine since I was in the academy with Ratchet. Now I'm a surgeon. Luckily the war is over now, giving me a lot of free time... Although... you know... even though I've often seen blood on my palms, I still often think about... where do people go after they die... huhh... but... that's over now. I'm lucky to have some friends who always support me and only they can relieve my stress." said Wheeljack.
"No wonder you're so great, it turns out your stories are so extraordinary. So what about you, Cylob? Can I ask you a question?"
When Cliffjumper asked Cylob about his story, Wheeljack suddenly whispered to Cylob, "Cylob... don't talk too much about your past, okay!"
After that, Cylob took a deep breath and said, "... Eeee... ... the cat whiskers on my cheeks don't lie, it's clear that I'm not from the Autobots. Yes... the point is after the Tragedy in Destiny, I was evacuated to Cybertron, and have survived until now. As for my age, I'm the same age as Bumblebee. As for my ideals... hmmm... I don't know... it goes with the process."
Cliffjumper is amazed by Cylob's story, "Wow... ...it must be really tough out there!"
Then Bulkhead asked, "I wonder who this floor sweeper is?"
Bulkhead asks about Sideswipe, he wants to know him too. Then Sideswipe introduces himself.
"Oh... my name is Sideswipe. I'm here on purpose to take the job of janitor. As for my ambition... ... ... Hmm.... I want to become an Air Commander."
Hotrod then said, "Wow...want to be an Air Commander, huh?"
Then a curious Cylob asks Bulkhead, Cliffjumper and Hotrod about their origins.
"Where are you guys from?"
Then Bulkhead said, "We are from Holixo, Cedro City. We used to travel to Cybertronion, and ended up getting caught up in this war."
Then Cliffjumper continued his speech, "Not to mention the news that all continents have been taken over by Megatron. He killed people who supported Prime from every region!"
Then Hotrod continued, "He also killed the mayor of Cedro City. He was corrupt after all. But it's strange that he adopted his son named Justice."
Wheeljack then said, "Wow... I bet you guys are full of information. Things have been really annoying since the Decepticons came along."
"Now we need some entertainment. While we have new friends!" said Bumblebee excitedly.
"What should we play?... hmm... want to play jump rope?... while we're still teenagers... play with some objects, rather than playing with women when we're adults," suggested Cylob.
And... a few moments later they were all in the hall playing jump rope.
Then Sideswipe said to give a hint in his game, "Okay guys... in this game there will be a stage of levels that I will explain, as we begin. The first level is a single rope jump, then get out of there. Start spinning the rope, then I will begin!"
Then Bumblebee and Hotrod spin the rope. Sideswipe will start to be the first. Before that Bumblebee then asked.
"Hey, if you lose, is there a penalty?"
Sideswipe explained again, "The one who can reach the final stage of this rope jumping will be the winner, and the loser... the punishment is 20 push-ups."
"Noo...!" Bumblebee said.
Then Sideswipe said, "So, if you're afraid of push-ups, try!"
"Ah... it's just a push up anyway!" said Cylob.
"I don't think this is challenging enough!" said Cliffjumper.
"Actually we are too childish!" said Wheeljack.
Everyone in the hall turned to look at Wheeljack, and Wheeljack looked back pretending he never said that.
"I have an idea, the loser has to do push ups in the yard all day!" said Bumblebee.
"Oh my. I don't want to play child's games!" said Bulkhead.
"Huh... this is better than watching grown men playing with women!" said Hotrod.
"Hey... I agree with you!" Wheeljack said to Hotrod.
"So, do you want to join or not? We can still find another game!" Cylob asked.
"This game is it, unless you guys want to play hide and seek!" Sideswipe said.
"Hide and seek is more challenging!" said Cliffjumper.
"Uhhh... well, the rules are on this wall. Let's just say I'm a monster. Then whoever gets caught first will take my place. The hiding time is probably 10 minutes, if I can't find you for 10 minutes. We'll decide the punishment later." Sideswipe said.
"Ah, I agree... I definitely won't get caught!!" said Bumblebee.
In short, they then started playing hide and seek. And the one who counted and searched was Sideswipe.
"6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... ... Okay!! Whoever gets it, gets it!"
Then Sideswipe started walking looking for those who were hiding.
First he checked around, but he didn't find anyone.
Checking into the discussion room, there was no one there either.
On the other hand, those who were hiding in various places not far from there.
Bumblebee is also seen holding back his laughter while hiding.
"He won't find me!... Eh... it's raining, isn't it?... I forgot I was hanging out my blanket to dry!... No!!... I have to go to the top floor immediately." said Bumblebee who just remembered that he was hanging out his blanket to dry on the roof.
Sideswipe looked confused as he seemed to be having trouble finding them.
"Where are they? Are they hiding somewhere far away?"
***
The scene then shifts to the outside of the Autobots' base.
Three Autobots came to the front gate of their headquarters, one was seen carrying his two injured friends.
"Help us!!... Help!!" said the person carrying him.
The Gatekeepers then immediately headed to the source of the sound. They then immediately helped the people. Carrying them into the Autobots headquarters. Because it seemed like they were newly discovered victims of war.
Suddenly the scene panned to the face of the person they were carrying, he smiled for a moment.
***
Elsewhere, in the operator's room, Cylob was hiding in a cupboard.
At first the Operator's room seemed empty, but soon Ironhide and Ultra Magnus entered there.
But their movements were very strange. They then locked the room. And they started talking.
"If we continue to stay here, who knows when Megatron will attack again. There should be someone among us who can sneak in and intercept information. The information from those three people is still lacking!" said Ironhide.
"That's it! We do need volunteers to go there. Relying on Optimus is very dangerous, because the power of the matrix is only for him." said Ultra Magnus.
Then Ultra Magnus spoke again, "Now, I'll tell you just between us, and you shouldn't be surprised. You may not know the tragedy that happened in Destiny, the point is Optimus and Megatron were the ones who took part in slaughtering all the Destiny. There, they could only save one person, Cylob!"
"Ohh... so that's it... This is quite a surprise!" said Ironhide.
Inside the closet, Cylob seemed even more shocked to hear the conversation. He then fell silent and continued to listen while holding back his emotions.
"The Autobots already know half the story. They only know that Optimus was controlled by Scourge there. But they don't know that Optimus and Megatron were infected with Dark Energon. They got split personalities. Optimus will change at any time, if he doesn't keep controlling himself." said Ultra Magnus.
"... This is dangerous... But even with that personality, huh... hmmm... Matrix didn't reject him at all! No wonder even though we know half of it, we still accept him. Even though I know full well, I feel more relieved. Maybe Matrix is able to withstand Optimus' evil energy!" said Ironhide.
"All the Autobots know about this, except Cylob. We all kept our mouths shut so Cylob wouldn't find out. His brother was killed by Optimus, and Cylob's friend's girl was probably also killed by Optimus or Megatron. Not to mention Alpha Trion who died by suicide, not by the Terrorcons, but for Megatron and Optimus. Because actually only Alpha Trion can kill Optimus and Megatron." said Ultra Magnus.
"... ... ... Actually, I don't really like a Destiny among the Autobots. Not to mention that there aren't many Destinies who are martial arts experts. For example, Cylob, when all the Autobots can fight, while he... can't do anything!. I want to be cruel, let's just take the Energon in his body, besides his body can regenerate it, right?" said Ironhide.
"You're so cruel... Cylob is here because of Optimus' regret. Besides, whether he's here or not, it doesn't matter! But... your idea of transplanting his organs was quite ingenious, except for his heart!" Ultra Magnus said.
Cylob felt very angry. Cylob then sat down where he was hiding. He did not expect that Optimus was the reason he was there, and also the reason for the destruction of all the Destinies Colonies in Destinus.
Cylob then cried there. Not long after he stood up again and opened the cupboard, coming out of there.
Ironhide and Ultra Magnus, who were talking at that time, were surprised when they saw Cylob come out of the cupboard next to them.
"Cylob?... s-since when were you there?" Ultra Magnus asked.
"Did he hear everything?" Ironhide asked.
Cylob suddenly spoke in a flat tone and said, "I heard everything... so it turns out that behind the people I respected. It turns out they are like this!... I will beat you all up... you said I can't fight, right? Then accept this!" said Cylob.
When looking into Cylob's eyes, they were now orange. And expressionless, and very cold. This meant a bad omen.
Then suddenly the room was filled with chains that suddenly appeared.
"Range-chain?!! Was he part of the Rangers all along?" Ultra Magnus said in surprise.
With Range-chain, Cylob then attacked Ultra Magnus and Ironhide. They were both lucky to be able to dodge every attack Cylob threw.
Ultra Magnus and Ironhide have to run, duck, jump and such to avoid his attacks.
"Ranger? I heard they're a dangerous bunch!" Ironhide said.
"Indeed, crazy people with split personalities!" said Ultra Magnus.
Then Ironhide and Ultra Magnus managed to escape from the room.
To be continued...
