The journey to The Sea of Rust is long and dangerous, but it is nothing compared to the actual place. It's a near-inhospitable wasteland that messes with your navigational systems and makes you almost regret coming all the way here.

Almost.

When you catch your first glance of the former leader of the Decepticons, everything becomes worth it.

Megatron is every bit as fearsome as you'd heard him to be, and how you remember him on the battlefield. He's easily one of the biggest bots you've ever seen, and his sky-blue optics seem to pierce through whatever he's looking at, and while he's clearly seen better days, his silver and grey paintjob still catches the light, almost blinding when he's facing the right direction.

Perhaps it was a strategy during the war, to make enemies lose track of him? Either way, it makes following him at a distance a bit harder.

"I'm not entirely convinced you know what 'exiled' means. It means that I am to be left alone." Megatron doesn't turn around to look at you, but his helm tilts slightly in your direction. He also doesn't mention how his exile is self-inflicted or how he managed to figure out you were there despite your best efforts of sneaking around.

But you're pretty sure that's not what exile means anyway.

"You need to leave before the rain comes. Rusting over in a place like this is easy, and in most cases is deadly," He states, glancing in your direction despite you being hidden (very well you might add) and beginning to walk away.

For a moment, you're frozen in place.

How long has he known you've been around? Why hasn't he said anything before? Is he always this grumpy? Wouldn't seeing another living Decepticon be a good thing?

With a barely audible sigh, Megatron stops in his tracks and turns around fully.

"I believe I know why you're here, but I am no longer the leader of the Decepticons and have no interest in returning. I am not a relic of war to ogle at either."

Then, in a smaller voice, "Leave now. Before you get yourself hurt."
