Synopsis
Lightlong uses his beast mode to carry Optimus to a forest cave, having managed to get them away from the battle just before Megatron could destroy them. Optimus praises Lightlong for saving him as an elephant suddenly emerges from the cave and startles them. Lightlong introduces Optimus to his friend Hydrophant, and the two exchange greetings. Hydrophant is excited upon hearing Optimus is an offworlder and even more so when Lightlong says he may be the hero spoken of in their legend, soon racing circles around the two in joy.
The three sit down within the cave, and Hydrophant relays to Lightlong the news that their comrade Drillnohorn from wherever they are, and asks what has been happening. He doesn't react particularly well to hearing of a fight occurring against the dinosaur tribe or that there is another offworlder named Megatron on Elementros, and begins to loudly panic. Lightlong advises Optimus that Hydrophant is very easily scared, but it's too late. Hydrophant begins stomping and then runs off through the cave, shaking it behind him as he runs. Lightlong remarks on Hydrophant's power, and Optimus believes the elephant would make for a good ally.
The two chase the panicking Hydrophant through the forest but lose him when they have to avoid a large tree he accidentally knocks over. As Hydrophant continues to run he sees a member of the Dinosaur Tribe ahead, who calmly asks that the elephant stops before there is a collision. Hydrophant is too afraid to stop so the Dinosaur tribesman uses his Earth Defense to summon a large boulder with his Ground Element Energy. Hydrophant crashes headfirst into the boulder and finally stops before asking who the other Energy Beast is. The Dinosaur tribesman introduces himself as Spirituan and leaps to strike Hydrophant with an Earth Claw, believing the elephant had been attacking him.
Optimus arrives and defends Hydrophant from the attack, reassuring him about his fear of fighting. Optimus tells him that that everybody fears battle, but that there are times when you must still rise and defend what you hold dear. Hydrophant considers this, and Spirituan compliments Optimus. Optimus demands to know who he is, but Spirituan simply says he sees some sinister quality within Optimus, who is left confused as Spirituan backs off from the stalemate. Lightlong finally arrives just as Sprituan's own companion walks up....and to Lightlong's shock it's Ignite Leo, a fellow member of the Animal Tribe!
