While fighting against Megatron, Optimus learns about a prophecy on Elementros.
Synopsis
Continuing on from the last episode, Lightning Optimus begins his duel with Megatron. Using the Lightning Energy conferred onto him by Lightlong, Lightning Optimus delivers a powerful, lightning infused slash that breaks through Megatron and Captain Volca's attempt at defense, particularly paralyzing the latter briefly (which forces the T-rex to apologize to Megatron). Lightning Optimus later easily counters Volca's flame blast before dealing a powerful punch that temporarily knocked down him and Megatron.
As they watch Megatron getting launched, Lightlong tells Optimus about a legend he heard about: one day, a hero would descend from the sky, and gain the power of all the elements, wielding the strongest blade that would strike down all evil. Lightlong believes the legend is about Optimus, and that he's the chosen one they speak off.
Of course, Megatron wasn't going down that easily, so he calls upon Leafback to combine with him, while alluding to the fact that he is one step closer to completing some sort of "Elemental Shield", but before any further information could be given, the combined Flame Grass Megatron unleashes a double blast of Flame and Grass Energy at Lightning Optimus, as Lightlong desperately cries out "Transform"...

Notes
Continuity notes
- Lightning Optimus' attack uses the pickaxe weapon that came with Lightlong's toy, which Lightlong was conspicuously not using for his appearances so far.
- Lightlong's legend was briefly alluded in the previous episode.
- Captain Volca and Megatron use the same attack they did back in On to Elementros! on Lightning Optimus, only this time, because
the need to sell toysof the power of Wildocking, Optimus was able to easily deflect it without losing his balance. - This episode features Megatron's first on-screen Wildocking sequence, and the first ever Double Wildocking. Optimus himself wouldn't perform that until Courage to Protect What's Important.
