The forest was painted in the deep gold of late afternoon, long shadows knitting through the ferns. Megatron stood alone, a monument of dark metal and quiet regret, the air still humming with the venom of Starscream's farewell. His optics were low, the light within them guarded.

Megatron turned, his face an impassive mask of forged steel, every line holding back the storm. 'You followed,' he said, his voice a low rumble.
