chapter five

Optimus Prime stood on the battlefield, his weapons locked in a fierce battle against the Decepticons. Although his movements were swift and his tactics were expertly timed, tears streamed down his face as he fought. Optimus was deeply saddened by the long-standing war and the many lives that had been lost.

Amidst the chaos, the Decepticons noticed Optimus' tears and called for Soundwave and Knockout to join them on the field of battle. The two small robots arrived, cautiously approaching Optimus as he slowly brought his weapons down.

"Optimus, we understand that the war has taken a toll on you," Soundwave said calmly, placing a small hand on the Autobot's shoulder.

Optimus broke down, lowering his face and covering his eyes as he cried openly. His wounded heart didn't know what to do, but he felt a gentle hand on his back in comfort, and felt himself being pulled into a caring embrace by Knockout.

Soundwave did not say anything, but stood quietly by as Knockout delicately hugged their vulnerable enemy. Optimus relaxed into the kind embrace, feeling like his burdens were lifted up just by the simple physical touch. The tears continued to flow but he no longer felt as alone in the never-ending battle, at least for the moment.

In this moment, the Decepticons and Autobots shared a mutual understanding that they were all in pain and their need for comfort surpassed their need for war. For once, the warring factions could empathize with one another. For this brief moment, there was peace on the battlefield, even though the great war was far from over.
