"I have heard the news of Cylob's death. He was killed by one of his own people." Dreamsharper stood up and spoke to Elita-1.
Dreamsharper tries to stop Elita-1's cries.
Elita-1 then wiped the tears on her face. "I overdid it and even cried like a child!"
But Dreamsharper's colleague asked him what he was doing, "Why are you talking to him?"
Elita-1 was still sitting there, her crying had stopped, but a feeling of depression and despair was burning.
"I don't want to be with Optimus anymore... I'm afraid... of always burdening him... ...I should have realized that I'm a woman... I forgot to have boundaries. So I dreamed of being his partner." Elita-1 said in a bad mood.
Dreamsharper then said, "You and Justice, the only females among the Autobots and Decepticons... ...you have the same nature... emotional. You are also equally annoying, even though you are skilled at fighting, your emotions make you weak..."
"Don't underestimate women, Dreamsharper!" Megatron appeared.
A sharp gaze filled with the desire to kill, "Without women you would never exist!"
Megatron stepped forward, each step stirring fear.
Dreamsharper and his comrades stood ready with their weapons—ready to attack.
Elita-1 was speechless when he saw Megatron suddenly there. Then he gritted his teeth, his vengeful anger rising.
Elita-1 then got up and went in front of Dreamsharper. Preparing herself to protect the Transformers. Staring at Megatron with anger.
"Get out of the way Elita!" said Megatron.
But when you get closer, Megatron's eyes are now purple. What does this mean?
Dreamsharper knew that, but he hated Elita-1 standing before him.
"Half-conscious!" Dreamsharper said. His hands were shaking, he knew he would end up there.
"I knew you would kill the traitor," Elita-1 said.
Megatron kept walking forward, until he stopped because Elita-1 was in front of him.
"They were born from a mother you killed. If you still respect women, respect the wishes of their mothers who want their children to live!" Elita-1's voice was soft and polite, although her face looked angry.
"They captured the woman I love!" Megatron said to Elita-1.
In her heart Elita-1 realized that Megatron felt strange in front of her. Normally by now she should have been thrown.
"I'll help you meet Justice... on one condition!"
Megatron then glared at Elita-1, not liking the terms.
Elita-1 then raised her little finger in front of Megatron.
"Promise me, only take back Justice," said Elita-1.
Megatron stepped coldly and left ignoring Elita-1's words.
Elita-1 was silent and her face was sad, realizing that her feelings in this world were always ignored.
Behind him suddenly came the sound of swords clashing and the screeching of battle. —but it did not focus on the fight.
Then Elita-1 hugged herself. Realizing she couldn't stop Megatron's steps.
As soon as he looked back, the fight was over, leaving behind a sense of sadness and sacrifice.
Dreamshaper and his comrades were dead, at the hands of Megatron. No matter what, Megatron continued to walk through the lonely wind.
Elita-1 walked slowly towards Dreamsharper's body, steps filled with despair.
Feelings of pity, seeing Dreamsharper like Cylob. Made him then hug his body, and let his tears pool in grief.
"I shouldn't have gone!" Elita-1 regretted.
Then he immediately wiped his tears. He got up and ran towards Megatron with a feeling of annoyance and anger.
But still, the feeling of wanting to stay alive stopped him. Even though the anger in his chest was burning, "Megatron... ... do you think Justice will like this?... ... No Megatron!! No!! if there is another war, it will be the end of Cybertron.
Whatever Elita-1 said, Megatron ignored it and better move on. Then he transformed and left from there.
"Megatron!!!" Elita-1 shouted hoarsely.

"Are we going to find her? Or are we going in the wrong direction!" Optimus said in the middle of his journey with Ultra Magnus—searching for Elita-1.
They passed through a very quiet road and was only filled with the ruins of the destroyed city.
Why does this location look familiar?
"Let's turn right!" passing the intersection and following Ultra Magnus' directions.
"You're exaggerating, I sense Elita-1 passing through this path.
Walking through the streets of a ruined and abandoned city. So quiet, you can hear the sound of your heartbeat.
Enter several buildings to find Elita-1.
The city seemed very big, what was this city? Optimus seemed to know what city this was.
"Who would have thought that it's been almost 20 years, Cybertown is so quiet!" said Optimus.
The ruins of the ruins were scattered, and some buildings were already covered in moss. It seemed as if they had become ancient buildings.
A feeling of regret filled his face. What had happened here, was Optimus' fault. "Magnus... hurry!"
Ultra Magnus then turned to Optimus, and saw his hands shaking, a sign Optimus gave.
"Are we really going to find Elita?" Optimus said.
Ultra Magnus then approached Optimus and gave a reassuring smile. "You're exaggerating... it's in the past. Reassure your feelings, Elita is definitely not far away."
Ultra Magnus then continued walking down the street. Then Optimus stepped forward and caught up with Ultra Magnus.
But not long after that Ultra Magnus then stopped. It seemed something was stopping him.
Making Optimus wonder, "What's wrong... Magnus?!"
After a few steps and getting closer, Optimus saw something that shocked Ultra Magnus.
What surprised them...
Some bodies that appear to have just died. Because the smell of iron rust is still pungent and the blood still looks fresh.
Their bodies looked torn to shreds, and what was horrifying was that their organs were also hanging out.
Optimus sees the severed head of one of the bodies, which makes him recognize the body. It is Dreamsharper and his friends, of course.
"Who did this?" Ultra Magnus was shocked that someone had killed the Decepticons.
But Optimus knew the answer, "From the cut marks... this is no ordinary sword. This is Megatron's work!"
"Huh?!!" Making Ultra Magnus confused. "Why is he attacking his own members?"
Then Optimus stared sharply into Ultra Magnus' eyes, and seemed to intimidate him. "This is normal... Megatron takes it for granted. . . "
Optimus inhaled and exhaled his frustrated breath. Calming himself down, but every time he cursed Megatron, it always reminded him of something, which made him feel sad.
"He wasn't like this before... ... I still hope he can come back... ... That hope has faded over time." Optimus said.
Ultra Magnus knew what Optimus was thinking, as a friend he should always support his friend, "That time will surely come... our hopes will surely come true, Optimus."
"If I tell this to everyone... they will know, I'm not a good leader. I'm telling this only to you, Magnus" Optimus confided to Ultra Magnus.
"I am indeed your best friend... but... don't forget. The person we are looking for is someone who understands you better, Optimus." said Ultra Magnus.
Ultra Magnus is indeed Optimus' best friend. They both trust and support each other.
—————
"Optimus!"
Suddenly a familiar voice called his name. Making Optimus surprised. Then Ultra Magnus and Optimus simultaneously looked back, how surprised they were because there they met the woman they were looking for, Elita-1.
The lingering worry instantly faded. For Elita-1, for Optimus too.
Elita-1 then slowly walked closer to Optimus because she missed him. But... she thought for a moment, and realized the reason she was avoiding Optimus.
Her steps stopped, then she held her left arm and the longing turned into gray. A gloomy feeling of frustration for Elita-1.
Optimus and Ultra Magnus simultaneously walked closer to Elita-1.
Then Optimus, who was overcome with anxiety, suddenly hugged Elita-1.
"Why... did you leave?!! Why are you so stupid!" expressed her annoyance, but it was Optimus' affection for Elita-1.
Ultra Magnus felt touched, relieved to see the two of them together.
A few moments later, Optimus realized that he had accidentally hugged Elita-1. This surprised him and immediately released his embrace.
"Sorry... I... got carried away!" Optimus said.
Then Elita-1 showed a frown, sadness radiating from her face.
"Optimus, I'm sorry I made you worry!"
"This weak me is not worthy of being with you..." said Elita-1.
"That's not true!" Optimus replied. While reassuring Elita-1.
Then tears began to fall from Elita's eyes, sadness peaked, "I was stupid, I thought to continue loving you... while you don't love me anymore?... I...."
Elita-1 then covered her face because she felt embarrassed looking at Optimus with her sad face. "What is this?!! Why am I crying?!!"
Elita-1 then wiped the tears that were wetting her face. "Optimus... ... Please don't look for me. The Autobots need you more... I don't deserve to be there... Optimus!..."
"I'm sorry... I was stupid... I lied to myself to stay away from you, but I still can't!" Optimus grabbed Elita-1's hand.
"Don't leave me. Give me a chance to be with you Elita!.... I beg you!" This was the first time Optimus had ever begged like this.
Elita-1 couldn't bear to let Optimus humble himself before her. "No... Optimus!!... why don't you understand?!"
Then Optimus hugged Elita-1 once again, and said, "I won't let you go... because I love you so much... Elita-1!"
...
...
And Ultra Magnus felt very happy that this was finally the first time Optimus was willing to tell Elita-1 what was in his heart.
...
Elita-1 then felt comfortable and safe in Optimus's arms. This was the first time she had been hugged by Optimus. She was not ready, there was no warning at all. But it didn't matter.
"If I'm gone forever, will you still love me?" Elita-1 asked, lost in Optimus' arms.
"Wherever you are, you must not leave!" Optimus said.
Elita-1 let Optimus hug her.
But then Elita-1 remembered something. Making her immediately let go of Optimus's embrace.
Then palpitations were felt, Elita-1 immediately said, "Optimus!! Right now the Decepticons have gone crazy, they brought Justice to the Autobots headquarters to lure Megatron to meet you! We have to stop this immediately!!"
And the shock made Ultra Magnus cover his mouth. Meanwhile Optimus' eyes widened in shock.
"To the base?!!... this is bad! We have to get there immediately!!" Optimus said.
"Come on, come on, come on!!" Fear began to billow from Ultra Magnus.
They all then decided to immediately transform into vehicles. Then stepped on the gas and drove at full speed.
Until the surrounding buildings only look blurry. And from above the air, the clouds of dust and smoke from the tires look thick.
From the top of the tall building they passed, there was actually a mysterious figure in a robe. Although always not clearly visible, he continued to watch their movements.
Will Optimus and his friends be able to catch up with the Decepticons?
To be continued....
