Tick... Tock... Tick... Tock...
The sound of the clock ticking.
Shockwave looked at the watch on his arm. But there was something strange about it.
56...57...58...59...60.
A minute passed... but it turned out, not even a minute had passed on Shockwave's clock.
It turns out that Shockwave, Soundwave, Starscream and Megatron have been on a mysterious track.
They all looked closely at their watches. To make sure of the time.
But the condition of their clocks experienced the same thing. Not even a minute had increased. The clock just stopped at 20:19. Meanwhile, the seconds continued to run normally.
"Our clocks are all messed up!" Shockwave said.
"There may be a signal interfering with our clocks," said Soundwave.
"No... our clocks don't need a signal. It just... feels weird here!" Megatron said.
Piw....
Megatron shoots into the hallway.
Shockwave, Soundwave and Starscream then ducked.
"What are you doing, Lord Megatron?" asked Starscream.
And a moment later Megatron's shot came flying back from behind them and hit Starscream.
"Awwww!!!" Starscream shouted.
"What the?" shocked Soundwave.
"Looping..." said Megatron.
"So you mean we're trapped?" Shockwave said.
"Tch... So what should we do?!!" asked Starscream who was starting to look panicked.
"How can this room loop?" Shockwave asked, thinking logically.
"Maybe this is illusion technology or something," said Soundwave.
"It turns out you are very stupid, your thinking is very narrow. This is magic!" said Megatron.
"Excuse me my Lord Megatron, but... I don't think it's that kind of thing. Miracles don't exist." Shockwave said.
"... Ah... don't act smart. You don't know yet, because that magic has never appeared before you." said Megatron.
"...Uhh... Sorry, Lord Megatron!" said Shockwave.
Then Soundwave, Starscream and Shockwave gossiped a little by whispering to each other.
"Keep Shockwave," Starscream cursed.
"Next time don't answer Megatron's statement," said Soundwave.
"But... magic doesn't exist!" Shockwave said.
"Grkk....tk-tk-tk-tk-tk.!" A creepy voice sounded behind Megatron.
"What's that sound?" asked Shockwave.
"The sound is so close!" said Soundwave.
Starscream then took the Thermal Scope and tried to see what was back there.
...
"Gruk... tk-tk-tk-tk-tk.!" That voice again.
But Starscream didn't see anything from his Thermal Scope.
"There's nothing there!" said Starscream.
Then when Starscream took his eyes off the Scope, a giant steel monster appeared filling the entire hallway.
"Ahhh!!" Starscream was immediately shocked and scared to death there.
But unfortunately, no one can see it except Starscream.
"Behind you... M-Master Megatron!!" said Starscream.
Megatron looked behind him and saw nothing.
"What's wrong Starscream?" said Megatron.
"Are you okay, Starscream?" Shockwave asked.
"Please... This is n-not the time for j-jokes! This isn't funny!" said Starscream, who was extremely scared.
Then the liquid dripped from above and hit Megatron's shoulder. Then Megatron looked up, and finally the giant monster was visible.
Megatron was also surprised, but he immediately reflexively took his Long-katana and stuck his long-sword into the Monster's face.
"BRHAGHHHH!!" The monster screamed in pain.
Then Megatron and the others immediately fled, becoming vehicles and speeding away. The monster then chased them too.
"Waaarhhh!!! That monster could catch up with us!!" Shockwave shouted.
"I don't want to die!!!" Starscream shouted.
Megatron transforms into a tank, then aims at the monster and shoots.
But the shots did nothing to stop the monster from chasing them.
"You bastard monster! Go faster!!!" Megatron ordered.
They then continued to drive faster, to escape from the strange giant monster.
"Anyone notice why the hallway seems to be getting smaller?" Shockwave said.
Then Megatron checked the air pressure in his body.
"This... this passageway is getting smaller!" Megatron said.
"I see a door!" said Soundwave.
Right in front of them, they found a door.
Then they stopped and transformed back to their original form, and immediately opened the door.
...
As soon as Megatron touched the door, the sound of the monster suddenly disappeared.
Not only that, the monster also suddenly disappeared without any explanation.
...
The atmosphere suddenly became silent. And the atmosphere in the hallway changed drastically. The lights in the hallway had turned on which were initially off and filled with darkness.
"Where's the monster?" Shockwave said.
"I don't care, just open the door!" said Starscream.
...
"I'll be back!!" a strange voice that only Megatron could hear.
"Who said that?" asked Megatron.
"Starscream... he's challenging!" Shockwave said.
"What?! But wouldn't it be better if it was opened sooner? Come on, Lord Megatron... Please open it!" said Starscream.
Megatron touched his forehead, he seemed to be thinking about something else.
Megatron then opened the door and...
He found a library room with a huge amount of books, just like Optimus before.
But here the scene was different. The library was clearly burned. Many of the books there were completely burned.
"This is impossible. What is this?" Shockwave asked.
"Mark's Autobot?" said Starscream.
...
"Why rush to conclude Decepticons?" a woman's voice.
A person's shadow is seen behind the library shelves.
"Is there someone?!" Soundwave said.
Then Megatron walked quickly towards the shadow. But there was no one behind the bookshelf.
"Found the guy?" Starscream asked.
...
"Burnt to the ground... looks like a mess. What a shame... Your fate... Megatron." a mysterious female voice.
Starscream immediately charged towards the source of the sound which was behind a bookshelf, and he prepared his weapon.
"... ... ... We're being played."
...
"I know who this voice is. But I have forgotten who you are," said Megatron.
Then they walked past some bookshelves that were all on fire.
But the mysterious female voice continued to speak without anyone knowing who the figure was.
"You're frustrated... It's easier to get angry, and harder to be happy...." said the mysterious woman.
"Don't mind, just keep going," Megatron said.
"Dummm!!" The path in front of them was suddenly blocked by a moving bookshelf.
Another path opened up, and they clearly saw someone passing in front of them and it was the source of the mysterious woman's voice.
"When can you be yourself again?"
Megatron and the others chase in the direction the mysterious woman went, but then disappear.
Then Megatron continued walking in the direction the mysterious woman had gone even though the mysterious woman had disappeared.
And actually found a dead end.
Megatron then got angry and he shot at the bookshelf. But instead, beyond expectations. Megatron's shot bounced between the bookshelves, until it disappeared.
...
"Don't be angry... too fast... Later... You'll grow old quickly!" said the mysterious woman.
Megatron turned around and then returned the same way.
Even from behind, Megatron realized that there was a book that the mysterious woman had placed on a bookshelf earlier.
Megatron saw a blue book among the burned books.
Megatron took the book and the title of the book was, "Death and Fear are Taken!"
Megatron then threw the book far away.
"I don't understand what's going on!" said Starscream.
...
"I remember now... You... that's Crima. You're the Mixer's partner." Megatron said.
"Long time no see D-16... Or... Megatron!" said the mysterious woman named Crima.
Then the bookshelves there shifted and behind the bookshelves there. A mysterious woman named Crima appeared.
"Hahahaha... you've changed a lot, Megatron. Since we met!" said Crima.
"How do you know each other?" asked Starscream.
"Why are we facing strange, illogical things all this time!" Shockwave said.
"Prepare to attack!" Megatron ordered.
"Hey strange woman, explain why you're here first?" said Starscream.
"Hey-hey... I thought you'd be scared?" said Starscream.
"Starscream, watch your words!" said Megatron.
"Beh... I'm afraid of a bitch like you?" said Starscream.
"Got you!" said Crima.
Without realizing it, Starscream was suddenly entangled in many chains and he couldn't move.
"WTF?" said Starscream.
"You must not speak seriously to him... ... ... Now... tell me, what else brings you here?" asked Megatron.
"Because my magic doesn't work on you, you ask me questions, Megatron... ... ... Well, the reason is simple... I was walking around like usual." said Crima.
"How do you know that he is Mixer's partner and... Who and what is Mixer, Lord Megatron?"
"... ...they are scramblers," said Megatron.
"... Uhh... But I'm not interested in fighting today, Megatron. Your fight is not mine." Crima said.
"Are you underestimating me?" Megatron said.
Then Megatron prepared his Long-katana weapon. He intended to challenge Crima to a fight.
Seeing Megatron preparing to attack, Starscream, Soundwave and Shockwave also prepare.
"Hey... I'm still trapped!" said Starscream.
"Tell me, who is the Mixer?" Megatron asked.
"Why are you so interested in the Mixer? Shhh... It's not like just because of a rare moment, you're accusing me of working with the Mixer." Crima said.
Then suddenly Megatron immediately moved to attack very quickly slashing. But his slash was also quickly blocked by Crima.
Not only that, Crima was even able to catch the very sharp Long-katana.
Still, Crima's hand was injured, and blood from his hand dripped onto the floor.
"Ahhh... hehehehe... I'm a bit stupid about your sword!" said Crima.
But what was worse was that Crima then held onto the Long-katana that had injured him with both hands.
Megatron continued to press his Long-katana with all his might to be able to kill Crima.
Then Crima did a strange thing. He used both hands to rub his arms against the very sharp Long-katana.
Crime is clearly seen doing something toxic.
"Ahhh… ughh…!" Excellent crima.
"Such a single bastard!" said Megatron.
Megatron immediately moved quickly, drawing his Long-katana sword and was about to slash Crima.
But Crima kept escaping his attacks.
"Why do we always meet scary women?" asked Starscream who was annoyed to see Crima.
"Hey, in front of us... There's a door, is that the way out?" Shockwave asked.
Unfortunately, Crima was able to avoid Megatron's attack and then fled towards a door in front of them.
"No...!" said Megatron.
Then Megatron pointed his right hand at Crima. Then Crima's movement suddenly stopped.
"You can't leave before answering my question!" said Megatron.
Then strangely, Crima's movement was as if he was being pulled towards Megatron.
"Wow... so you have a surprise!" said Crima.
As Crima continued to force his way forward, Megatron pulled his hand and sent Crima flying backwards and floating towards Megatron.
But then Crima with his power summoned several chains and made them into binds.
Megatron has another power, which is related to gravity. So that power makes Crima's movement choked.
"Maybe I should electrocute him!" Shockwave said.
"Don't... she'll go crazy!" Megatron said.
"Let me go, please!!" said Starscream.
"It's a shame that Cybertron was destroyed by just two groups. Whatever you think Megatron. But, it wasn't me or the mixer who caused this chaos. It was..."
"Us? You blame us for the damage you two have done. Whatever your plan is, I assure you it will never work!" Megatron continued.
"It's not... your fault. But there is someone else who is the main cause of all this. He is the one we are dealing with." said Crima.
"You mean the Taken?" asked Megatron.
"That's right." Crima replied.
Crima then managed to free himself from Megatron's captivity. Then he escaped through the door.
"See you... Bastard!" said Crima.
"Ah... Bastard! She managed to escape!"
"What kind of power was that, Lord Megatron?" Shockwave asked.
"Oy... let go of me!" Starscream said.
"Shut up!!" Megatron said.
Then the chains that ensnared Starscream immediately broke free and were shattered into pieces, by Megatron's power.
"Oh..." said a surprised Starscream.
Megatron immediately headed to the door that Crima had gone through. But unfortunately the door could not be opened.
Megatron felt very angry, because he could not get any clear answer. He then kicked the door hard. To show how upset he was.
"Fuck!!" Megatron shouted.
Shockwave and the others just kept quiet because they were afraid of Megatron's anger.
"Gravity... but I can't do that often!... The bookcase here has been moved, let's find a way out, or you'll be trapped here forever." said Megatron.
Soundwave and Shockwave then replied, "Yes, Lord Megatron!"
Megatron and the others then walked back through some paths between the bookcases.
"Why don't you just blow these books up, or pick them up and push them away!" said Starscream.
"These books are very hard, like they're coated with something that makes any attack ineffective," Shockwave said.
"The books can't be taken either," said Soundwave.
Then when Megatron and the others looked to the other side of the bookshelf. They were surprised by something that seemed to make them pause.
"Oh my gosh!" Starscream said.
"How is that possible?" said Soundwave.
It turned out to be surprising because they met people who were their enemies.
Of course the Autobots. Optimus and the others, who were also surprised to see their enemies the Decepticons present there.
"No way!" said Optimus.
"Optimus... Prime!" said Megatron, who was very vengeful towards Optimus.
To be continued....
