Intro. The battle had finally ended. The dust of Mission City was still settling, and the echoes of the conflict lingered in the air. Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots, stood tall on a cliff overlooking the canyon. The sun was setting, casting a warm orange glow over the surroundings after so much had been lost and won. His optics softened as he watched Bumblebee in his alt-mode, parked with Sam and Mikaela sitting on his hood, the two humans finding solace in each other amidst the chaos. Ratchet and Ironhide remained close by, silent sentinels reflecting on the battle that had just transpired. Optimus could still feel the weight of the Allspark's loss, yet he couldn't help but be relieved that the Decepticons had been stopped—for now. But the price of victory was heavy. Jazz was gone, fallen at the hands of Megatron. The Prime’s spark ached for his fallen comrade, and he knew the battle for their survival was far from over.
