Wind whistles through the shattered stained glass of the abandoned church, illuminating swirling dust motes. Cade Yeager, Tessa, Shane, and Bumblebee creep past the ruined altar, while Hound and Drift guard the perimeter. Cade spots a folded note in Optimus’s dashboard, revealing a phone number. He dials it. The line crackles. Optimus’s optics flicker in his truck form. A warm, familiar voice answers, causing the Autobot leader to hum with recognition. “My Spark,” Optimus resonates, deep and emotional. The group freezes, sensing the weight of this reunion. The voice speaks softly of never stopping watch. Optimus remains still, filled with quiet determination as the call ends.
