Sorry for the delay over the last few days, guys.

Cracks appeared across the surface of the oval-shaped red metal orb—first one, then another, and then several all at once.

BOOM!

The orb exploded violently, sending jagged shards of metal flying in all directions.

From the chaos emerged a sleek, ten-meter-tall black Transformer. Its design was aggressive and futuristic, with a polished obsidian sheen and an intimidating silhouette. A black iron plate covered most of its face, hiding its identity.

"AHHH!" the Transformer roared as its body creaked and shifted, transforming mid-motion. In a flash of spinning parts and roaring engines, it became a black Lamborghini Ankonian concept car. Tires screeched as it tore across the battlefield, kicking up a storm of dust behind it.

Meanwhile, Optimus Prime was still locked in fierce combat with Galvatron. Neither could overpower the other—their strength evenly matched, their blows sending shockwaves with every clash.

BOOM!

Suddenly, a missile struck Optimus's right shoulder from an unknown direction. Metal shards burst outward as Optimus cried out in pain, nearly collapsing from the impact.

The light dimmed suddenly. People looked up.

The sky was being swallowed by the looming shadow of an enormous black spaceship—it was impossibly massive, dwarfing everything beneath it.

Amidst the swirling dust, another Transformer approached with confident, purposeful strides.

It was Lockdown.

And everyone knew his objective: capture Optimus Prime.

Inside the KSI command center, Joyce stared at the screen showing the spaceship and Lockdown.

"What's going on?" he demanded.

"That's my plan," Harold Attinger said with a glint in his eye. "Recall Galvatron."

"Bring Galvatron back," Joyce ordered.

---

Back on the highway, Lockdown continued his approach. His faceplate shifted, revealing a hidden cannon that quickly charged up.

With a thunderous boom, it fired.

The cannonball shot toward Optimus Prime. He couldn't dodge in time—it struck him square in the chest. The force blasted him dozens of meters backward, slamming him into a parked vehicle.

Galvatron, seeing Optimus down and having received orders to withdraw, ceased attacking and began to retreat—opportunism still sparkling in his mechanical eyes.

He transformed into a gray truck cab and sped down the highway.

But he didn't get far.

A sleek black Lamborghini roared down the same highway—closing the distance fast.

"Who's in that black car?" Joyce asked in the KSI control room, watching the satellite feed.

"There's no one inside," a technician reported.

"Is it a Transformer?" Joyce squinted at the screen.

"They're about to collide—"

BOOM!

The Lamborghini and Galvatron's truck form smashed into each other with a bone-shattering impact. The pavement cracked under the force.

Both vehicles skidded back, then the Lamborghini split apart into six twisting segments—morphing midair. They reshaped and locked into place, reforming the black Transformer once again.

Joyce leaned in, astonished. "That's KSI tech. Native Transformers can't do that. Who the hell is he?"

"I don't know, sir," an employee stammered. "You know all our artificial designs. He's not one of them."

"He looks awesome," Darcy muttered. "Did we seriously not build this guy?"

---

On the road, Galvatron charged the black Transformer. "Anyone who blocks me dies!"

"Die, my ass," the black Transformer growled, rushing forward.

BOOM!

Their collision sent a visible shockwave across the highway. Both combatants staggered back about a dozen meters.

Galvatron snarled. That strike had matched his own power. "Where did this guy come from?!"

"Galvatron!" the black Transformer shouted, lunging again. They crashed together, fists flying, metal clanging. Sparks flew. Flames burst with each blow.

---

Nearby, had eyes only for Tessa.

"Tessa, I know you were forced. I don't blame you. That bastard's not here now. Let's run away. The Earth's huge—we'll find a place of our own. Come with me."

"I..." Tessa hesitated. She didn't want to leave—but couldn't find the words.

Metal fists clashed nearby again, fragments flying. The black Transformer flung a shattered piece of debris into the air.

"Tessa, I love you. Please, be with me," Shane said.

BOOM!

A large chunk of metal slammed into Shane's skull, crushing it instantly. Blood sprayed across Tessa's face.

And just like that, the male lead was dead—his fate sealed in the blink of an eye.

"AAAHHH!" Tessa screamed and collapsed onto the ground.

"Shane! Shane!" she cried, staring at what remained of his body. Tears streamed down her cheeks.

---

Lockdown paid no mind to the chaos around him. He walked past the fight between the black Transformer and Galvatron, heading straight for Optimus.

He had no other interest—his mission was to capture the Autobot leader.

"I pity you, Prime," Lockdown said coldly. "Your loyalty to humans... is your weakness. The problem with loyalty is that it always ends in betrayal."

Optimus Prime grunted, wounded. "Who sent you... you filthy bounty hunter?"

"You think you were born?" Lockdown replied. "You were created. By the Creators. And now... they want you back. We all serve someone."

Lockdown turned to face the massive spaceship in the sky.

A dropship detached from the vessel, gliding silently down. It hovered above Optimus and released a massive net.

---

Cade ran toward the chaos. "Tessa! Tessa! Tessa!"

"Dad?" Tessa turned toward the sound of his voice.

"Run! Tessa, run!" Cade shouted.

Tessa looked up—too late. The net dropped. She was caught within its radius, just like Optimus.

She scrambled to escape, but the net pulled her into the air alongside the Autobot.

"TESSA!" Cade jumped, grabbing onto the mesh with both hands.

"Dad! Help! Save me!" she cried.

"Tessa—Dad's got you! Just—" He struggled against the net, muscles straining. "I can't hold it! I—Tessa—!"

Cade lost his grip and fell.

"DAD!"

"No!" Cade slammed his fists against the pavement in frustration.

---

"Alert the Autobots," Optimus growled, his voice fading as the net dragged him into the sky.
