The Sky Split Open (Part One)

This day was undoubtedly the greatest disaster to befall the navies of Europe since World War II.

With only three lightly wounded Decepticons, Lightning and the others had successfully dealt a devastating blow to the combined fleet.

Aside from one United Kingdom warship and one France warship that had sensed the danger and fled at full speed during the battle, they had sunk nearly every major vessel, sparing not even the supply ships.

After the battle ended, Lightning and the others even flew wantonly over the sea for quite some time.

They began a cruel little game Decepticons enjoyed—using the machine guns of their fighter forms to repeatedly dive and strafe the European naval soldiers still struggling to survive on the surface.

The blood spreading through the sea quickly drew in a group of bloodthirsty predators.

Bull sharks, sand tiger sharks, and other savage sea beasts that had caught the scent of blood began relentlessly attacking the people who had fallen into the water, stimulated by the blood.

Watching the human soldiers' miserable plight, Lightning and the others played with even greater excitement.

But while they were having their fun, the Decepticons who had invaded Cairo, deprived of air cover, found themselves in serious trouble.

Wave after wave of missiles and airstrikes continuously bombarded Cairo, the ancient city with a history spanning millennia.

"After today, humanity will once again destroy a part of its own history with its own hands!"

Sentinel Prime sneered as he watched Cairo rapidly become a field of ruins under the U.S. military's bombardment. With one slash of his long blade, he knocked Optimus Prime away, all while continuing to torment him with words.
