Back then, during the war between the Decepticons and Autobots. What Justice always did as a teenager was sit inside the Decepticons headquarters and stare out the window in the conference room.
Then when Megatron was seen from a distance in his tank form. Justice immediately ran and got off while carrying the Decepticons symbol flag.
Justice also said, "Megatron!! is alive!! Megatron is alive!!!"
When Justice arrived at the field, Megatron was already in front of the gate.
Justice will soon greet him by deploying a Decepticon symbol flag. Then Justice hugs Megatron and says, "Congratulations on your victory!"
But Megatron always ignored Justice and only took his flag. He brushed Justice off and continued walking inside.
That hurt Justice's feelings.

Megatron then found himself on the balcony, standing looking out through the glass window. The location was where Dreamsharper used to arm wrestle. Now the location was deserted and only some trash was scattered there.
Then Soundwave was dragging someone and then throwing him behind Megatron. Because their position was behind Megatron.
"Tell us what you're hiding, traitor... or we'll kill you!" Soundwave said.
It turns out that the traitor that Soundwave mentioned is Starscream. Of course because Starscream has blue eyes, when in fact he should have red eyes.
Soundwave takes out his knife to threaten Starscream.
"You must be one of them, right?" Soundwave said.
Starscream then replied, "I... lied about my identity... ... I've been free from Dark Energon for a long time. I knew what their plan was... ... they wanted to kill Justice for a long time... ... I... didn't trust them, I left them and wanted to participate because I was always respected by you... ... but... ... day after day, you treated me harshly... making me feel upset... ... I kept quiet because I was kept silent..."
Megatron then said, "Sound, Crack and Shock. I was going to ask the same thing... are you really Decepticons?"
Then the situation became silent.
Soundwave, Thundercracker and Shockwave then said. "Forgive us, Mr. Megatron!".
And it turns out they were also lying. They then decided to be honest and they all showed that they actually had blue eyes.
Megatron then said, "So it's true... my life has always been filled with lies... including people I trusted... It's hard to believe. If the effect on you is temporary... Why do you still follow me, even though you know I'm evil!"
Shockwave then said, "But we are on your side... Lord Megatron!!"
"Liar!!!"
"Traczzkkkk!!!!"
Megatron hit the glass window in front of him and made everything shatter into pieces.
Megatron then turned around and looked at the four of them, with glowing red eyes.

Moving to the Autobots' base.
After burying Cylob's body, the Autobots then return to their base.
While outside, Optimus and Ultra Magnus were talking about something.
Ultra Magnus said, "Did you hear what the intruder said? ... This is bad, Signy is still alive... if she finds out the person she loves is dead... ... …"
Optimus then said, "This situation keeps getting worse... ... Now it's becoming clearer that it was actually me who was wrong!... .... . ... ... ... Also now, I don't hear him anymore. ... ... He was a good man... ... ..."
"Hey... You should rest more... don't let Cylob's will be in vain. ... ... This isn't entirely your fault. ... This is a matter of fate... but... believe me... you've made him calm down there, he doesn't have to endure this pain anymore. ... ... Remember, your illness can still relapse... if that happens, it will be a disaster." said Ultra Magnus.
Optimus then walked in with Ultra Magnus. They were in the hallway.
Optimus then asked, "Where is Elita? She wasn't seen at the funeral!"
Ultra Magnus then said, "You know... Elita never attended anyone's funeral... she didn't want to be the only one sobbing there!"
Optimus then asked, "I haven't seen Elita cry in a long time!"
Ultra Magnus then replied, "That's right... it's been too long... ... Huhh... (exhales).... Optimus... this time she lost someone she loved once again... I want you to stay by her side, don't make her feel guilty... she always thinks everything is her fault... ... She is a woman, Optimus... her feelings and thoughts are more sensitive... ... I'm afraid she might not be able to do it.
Optimus then pondered for a moment while walking with Ultra Magnus after hearing his advice to continue accompanying Elita-1.

On the other hand, Cylob's close friends are in a dilemma after his departure.
Wheeljack was in the bathroom taking a shower.
While taking a shower, various sad moments from the patients he had handled kept flashing through his mind. Including he had also handled his friend who was in critical condition.
And there was one moment that most shackled him. The moment at this time, he lost a close friend.
Wheeljack leaned against the wall, then sat down and let the water wash over him.
Wheeljack looked very desperate.
Looking down at his palm, he saw a lot of remaining congealed blood on his hand.
His eyes were filled with despair.
Then Bumblebee knocked on the bathroom.
"Jack, are you there?... We need you to take care of a patient!"
"Yeah... I'll be there!" Wheeljack said.
Wheeljack then stood up and left the bathroom, then continued his duties as a young Doctor who fought to defend the Autobots.
"Jack, ... It felt so empty... when he... was gone forever!" said Bumblebee, mourning Cylob.
"I feel it too, Bee! ... Huhhh... Come on.... we have to get back to work!" said Wheeljack.
Bumblebee's face looked very gloomy. Then he said, "If I knew that was his last moment, I would have stayed with him!..."
Bumblebee then cried and said, "How could I have forgotten about him... even though we were once his best friends?"
Wheeljack then stopped walking and looked at Bumblebee. Even though he himself was also feeling the same way.
Bumblebee said again while continuing to wipe away his tears, "He saved me many times... but I can't repay him!..."
*** ((Short flashback))
"Uhhh... but I don't have any money!" said little Bumblebee.
"I'll pay!" said little Cylob.
They were at a shop to buy food.
---
Bumblebee stumbles, then Cylob helps him up.
---
"You're taking the questions too hard, my friend. The solutions will come to you when you relax!" Cylob said to Wheeljack.
At that time they were taking the CyberAcademy exam.
---
"We need a mature teacher to guide us!" said Wheeljack.
"Brother Ironhide is enough of a teacher!" said Cylob.
---
*** ((Flashback ends))
Wheeljack turned to Bumblebee and said, "Enough Bee... don't make me continue to be sad!"
Wheeljack started crying too.
****
Moving on to Optimus and Ultra Magnus who were already standing in front of the door of the Elite-1 room.
"The door is unlocked!" Ultra Magnus said.
Optimus then said, "No, maybe later. He might need some time alone!"
Ultra Magnus then said, "Huhh... you're right. Then I'll go back upstairs, and next time I'll have to be more serious about monitoring."
Suddenly, Ultra Magnus, who was about to leave, was contacted by Ironhide.
Whatever Ironhide said, made Ultra Magnus panic. And he immediately turned around and pushed the door of Elita-1's room quickly.
"She..." said Ultra Magnus.
Optimus was confused and shocked by what was happening. He then asked, "Elita isn't in her room! What's wrong, Magnus?!"
Ultra Magnus then said, "She left the Headquarters alone!!!"
Optimus then felt disbelief, "No way!"
Optimus immediately connected the small software in his hand to the surveillance camera and immediately observed it.
And sure enough, he watched Elita-1 walk away leaving him.
"My guess was right... ... !!! Oh Primus!!! This is a disaster!!!" said Ultra Magnus who was dizzy with what happened.
Then Optimus saw an envelope of mail brought by the door in front of them. Optimus immediately took it.
"A letter?!... come on... quickly open it, who knows, this might be a message that could be a clue!"
Optimus, feeling very nervous, slowly opened the contents of the envelope.
Just opened, it turned out to be very surprising. There was a photo with Optimus, Ultra Magnus, Megatron and Elita-1. But the Elita-1 part looked like it had been cut off by scissors.
"...Not good... not good!" Ultra Magnus whispered as he saw it.
Optimus' hands were shaking more and more. To the point that Ultra Magnus scolded him, "Hey Optimus... take it easy. Relax!"
Then finally they found a piece of paper written by Elita-1.
The Transformers have another skill, which is reading text in seconds. But when it comes to pronouncing it, that's where their speaking ability is tested.
Therefore, Optimus immediately let go of the letter he was holding because he was surprised.
Ultra Magnus was also surprised.
Optimus then stepped back due to shock after reading what Elita-1 wrote on the piece of paper.
Instantly his heart beat faster, then adrenaline rose. Then Optimus sweated, and turned around and immediately ran down the courtyard path and the gate.
Running in one direction, and ignoring the people who were staring and wondering at him.
And he arrived at the gate, but it was too late for him to catch Elita-1 who had already left the Autobots' base.
Ultra Magnus followed Optimus to the gate even though he was out of breath because his condition was still unstable.
Then Optimus accidentally tripped, causing him to fall to the ground.
"She left while we were burying Cylob's body. I never thought she would do this!" Ultra Magnus said.
Ultra Magnus immediately helped Optimus stand back up.
"Why did she leave?!!" Optimus said, furious and trying to get up from his fall.
Ultra Magnus continued to pull Optimus' hand with all his strength that had not recovered. While enduring the pain in his shoulder.
Until finally he was able to help Optimus sit up.
Optimus then tried to adjust his sitting position, even though a creaking sound was heard.
He looked out of the gate, his gaze only in that direction.
"Elita... you don't have to feel it too... this is my fault, you shouldn't go..." Optimus said.
Ultra Magnus also remained silent and lamented the fate of his friend who was having a hard time there.
"What did I say... ... ... I should have known I needed her... why did I... ..." Optimus said.
He then remembered some of his previous words and his conversation with Ultra Magnus and Cylob. About not wanting to love one person.
But Optimus still has a part of his heart for someone.
In contrast to Elita-1 whose heart is wide open for Optimus.
But now it feels like the gate of feelings has disappeared.
"I... ... still love Elita-1... ... But always put her aside... ... ... ... " Optimus said.
"Optimus... ... ... this isn't over yet. Don't give up hope, look... I'm still here... we'll find Elita... as long as I'm here, you won't feel lonely, my friend!"
Then Ultra Magnus stretched out his hand.
Optimus reached out to Ultra Magnus and stood with him.
Optimus and Ultra Magnus then walk into the Autobots' base. He will finalize his plan to go and find Elita-1.
To be continued...
