By the time he had arrived to Iacon, already a large crowd had gathered at the Council building. But who wouldn’t?
As Optimus landed, he could see why Beta had been so urgent to contact support. Part of the building roof had been torn apart and collapsed while some of the windows appeared to be shattered and scorched. To best describe the scene was like looking at something straight out of the war, a building torn from a fierce battle that brought back unwanted memories for most. ‘I have a bad feeling about this.’ Optimus thought, glancing down at Aerobolt attached to his arm whose bio-light briefly flashed in response.
Though the Prime was certainly tired, such a matter required immediate attention. He had been up all night to get the artifact now residing in his chest plus his tense talk with Ultra Magnus. His words he was still processing and the fact he felt as such...Shaking the thoughts away, the red and blue mech forced himself to focus as he stepped towards the perimeter the enforcers has made to keep back the crowd. Some of said crowd quickly parted and he soon wa sable to spot Beta among the enforcers, “Beta.” He called over, causing the green femme to turn, seeing him and Magnus not that far behind.
“Glad you two could make it.” The femme came over, motioning for one of her officers to allow them passage.
Optimus nodded, “Anything yet?”
“Signs of a struggle, definitely Deathsaurus’ work. I was pulling security footage while we search, looks like him and Council member Maxima had it out, and they weren’t alone.” Beta paused, frowning slightly. “The former fugitive, Steeljaw, was with her. But we haven’t seen him anywhere after she locked him out it looks like.” She explained.
Optimus frowned at this thought, wondering what the two were there for in the first place. But, they could worry about that later, they needed answers and one of their Council members could be inside anywhere. “Keep your optics peeled Beta, allow some others in to give us a hand. I have a feeling we’ll need it.” Optimus told her as Beta gave an affirmative, offering a quick greeting to the former commander as well before she went about allowing others to join the search. “It appears our worst concerns are coming to fruition. Stay safe while looking.” Optimus’ previous tone with Magnus before departing the lower parts of Cybertron had faded in that moment. Despite all his anger and misgivings now, they had a more important task and Optimus stilled cared about the mech as a brother regardless of what was said.
Resting a hand on Magnus’ good arm as silent encouragement, there almost seeming nothing changed in that moment. Magnus was still his comrade and his brother, the Prime heading inside a bit after to explore the ruined building and help move aside debris along the way.
