Standing alone. Strengthening yourself.
While the others, have gone back to the base. The only place that has not been destroyed. That is the Cybertown cemetery in the yard of the Autobots base.
On a rainy day, Optimus is reluctant to use his umbrella. Silently contemplating in front of Megatron and Justice's graves.
"I'm going... don't stay too long. You'll get sick!" said Elita-1.

After everyone left, Optimus then spoke in front of the tombs of Megatron and Justice in front of him.
"Hopefully you guys are together... ... ... ... I've always imagined, what if we were together again. How I want to see and feel it. I forgot that it was all just a dream. It turns out we will never meet again. Forgive me... Megatron... Justice... what should I do now? I ask for your guidance.
Then Optimus sat and leaned against the fence of Megatron and Justice's grave. Letting the rain drip and wet him there.
...
...
...
"That's how it all happened... Optimus!"
The voice of an unknown person.
Optimus heard that, looked here and there, then he immediately stood up looking around, who the owner of the voice was. The voice clearly sounded like a man.
But Optimus had already looked here and there, the voice sounded close. The voice was very foreign, not recognized by Optimus.
"Who is there?!"
From a distance to the right, a cloaked figure was seen standing at someone's grave. Optimus immediately chased after him and called out, "Who's there?!! Who are you?" Optimus asked.
But the man did not stop, and instead he disappeared along with a gust of wind and smoke from a distance.
Optimus immediately went there even though the person had just disappeared. But the person also seemed to be visiting someone's grave.
Optimus looked at whose grave the person was visiting. It turned out to be Cylob's grave, whatever that was. Optimus immediately felt goosebumps as if he had been electrocuted, he knew why the person was visiting Cylob's grave.
"What is that?!!... ...". Taking a deep breath, "Taken?!!".
It turns out that someone placed blue flowers on Cylob's grave.
Optimus then left and returned to Megatron and Justice's grave. He excused himself from Cylob's grave before going there.
But once he arrived there, he was also surprised to see blue flowers on both Megatron and Justice's graves. Making Optimus wonder what was happening.

Optimus, Elita-1, Ultra Magnus, Ratchet, Ironhide and Wheeljack are in the discussion room at the Autobots' headquarters, sitting in a meeting discussing the previous problem there.
"That can't be done, we have to find a way to cure you first! There must be a way, right?" Ironhide said to Optimus.
"But there really is no way to cure someone infected with Dark Energon, teacher!" Wheeljack said to Ironhide.
"We have to relax... Optimus can't be stressed anymore... he could lose control of himself if he loses consciousness one more time!" said Ratchet.
"...huhh..." Ultra Magnus slapped his forehead.
"We have the Matrix and... the Allspark here... wouldn't both of them be equally dangerous in the wrong hands?" Ultra Magnus said.
"Yes, the problem is, the Matrix can only be held by Optimus, but look... what if the one holding it can be dangerous at any time? When else will he kill people? Even though he swore not to kill anyone who still has humanity, unless the person is a bastard!". said Ironhide.
"Calm down, why are you getting angry here?" Ultra Magnus was also angry at Ironhide.
"I was right, this is the biggest problem! Optimus is indeed worthy of holding the Matrix, but why is it like that? I'm like this because the only one I can rely on is him!!" Ironhide explained.
"We are all confused and please let us think for a moment!!" said Ultra Magnus.
"If we stay here too long, we're done for.!" said Ironhide.
"Please calm down!!!" said Elita-1.
...
Ultra Magnus and Ironhide finally stopped arguing.
Optimus then said there, "I know you're wondering that... at that time, I lost consciousness because of the slash on my head and that gave him the chance to use my body."
"Can you communicate with your other self?" Ultra Magnus asked.
"Yes... sometimes and rarely." Optimus said.
"Hacyuhh!!" Wheeljack sneezed.
Ultra Magnus scratched his head in confusion there.
"It looks like you'll be under 24/7 surveillance Optimus... for at least the next month." Ratchet said.
"Dark... Energon...." Ultra Magnus was thinking.
Then Ultra Magnus continued, "Well... our ancestors were indeed too much. Information about Dark Energon was hidden. Look at the consequences, when the descendants of Prime received the curse... we could only freeze to think of a solution."
Then Wheeljack gave his wise opinion, "The solution may be that we have to understand each other. What we need is trust and cooperation. One of the triggers is the increasing intensity of stress on Optimus. Therefore, we have to work together to reduce it by not complaining to him too much, getting angry at him, and other things that trigger his stress."
"Well... this is a good suggestion!... And for that, Optimus also don't be stubborn to bear all the burden. Optimus... we are like this because we care about you. You have to believe in yourself and everyone... everything will be fine!" said Ironhide.
Optimus lowered his gaze, confused and he felt admiration for his comrades who cared so much about him.
"I'm sorry I kept this a secret from you for so long!" Optimus said to his friends.
"If you had told us earlier, we would have thought of everything earlier too... but it's not entirely your fault. It's our fault for being busy with our own affairs." Ironhide said. Touching Optimus' shoulder and smiling kindly at him.
Seeing Ironhide, Optimus remembered the moment when he secretly infiltrated the Decepticons' headquarters.
Optimus then remembered the Decepticons' headquarters which was currently empty and had no leader there.
"Looks like I'll be going to the Decepticons' base tomorrow! To see if there are any of them left... I decided to try to unite them with all of us!" Optimus said.
"Alright! You can only leave after you're fully recovered. I'm afraid there'll be a bit of drama there!" said Ratchet.
"I know a surefire way to relieve stress!" Ultra Magnus said.
All of his comrades' gazes were immediately locked on him. Ultra Magnus was always confident and full of humor.
Now people wonder what stress medicine he knows.
"Do this!" said Ultra Magnus.
Hand shaking style, oh no. Ultra Magnus starts with his adult jokes.
"Hey-hey... this guy likes to joke around when he's at it!" Ironhide said teasingly.
"What do you mean?" asked Elita-1 who was very innocent not knowing what Ultra Magnus meant.
Oh, Elita-1 imitated the hand movement and wondered, "What do you mean when your hand feels sore?"
Elita-1 turned out to be very innocent, which was understandable because only men knew what it meant.
Ultra Magnus and Ironhide actually had to hold back their laughter there.
"Elita... try doing that again, but with both your right and left hands!" said Ultra Magnus.
Oops, Elita-1 is moving both of her hands like that.
"YAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!" Ultra Magnus and Ironhide laughed out loud.
"What's so funny... what do you mean?!!" Elita-1 became angry because they were laughing in a way that she thought was not clear, even though she was doing a very sexy pose.
And Optimus was there smiling too. Oh, this was the first time Optimus had ever smiled like that.
Then Ultra Magnus came to Elita-1 and whispered about what move she did earlier.
"Elita... that's a water pumping move!" Ultra Magnus whispered to her.
"Ahh!!!" Elita-1's face suddenly turned red and she was embarrassed.
"Wow, you guys are so cruel! I didn't know!! Ah... I'll just go... you guys!!" Elita-1 became annoyed and she sulked. But her embarrassed face looked very cute.
Then Optimus got up from the sofa, walked towards the large glass window in the discussion room. Looking out while staring at the afternoon sky with drizzle. The view was very beautiful.
"Megatron... ... ... your little help always helps me. This time, I will return the favor... I promise to make Cybertron the best planet ever." Optimus said in his heart.

"Tick!!" the sound of the machine.
Nervous, Adist and Timon are in a place between high mountains. From outside, their spaceship is visible, which is quite large and spacious.
Timon was busy with the automatic glass wiper cleaning the ship's windows from rain stains.
Nervous then pressed a button on his plane's engine. But what he pressed was not just any button. This was the Virtual Communication feature.
The person he contacts will appear in the form of a hologram made from the advanced static electricity technology they possess.
"Nervous... I finally see you guys. Tell me how's your mission?" asked a male voice from the hologram in front of him.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Voidecay. It seems like our mission has failed. We couldn't take Cylob away. He... ...." said Nervous who was afraid in front of Voidecay.
"I see!... But at least you've installed the device, right?" their superior asked.
"Yes... that's it!" said Nervous.
"Great, looks like I'll be heading over there after I finish some of my business here. I can't wait to visit my beloved project!"
Then the device was turned off by the recipient, namely their superior.
"He's here... Huh... what kind of chaos will happen here!" said Adist.
