Will you forgive me?

DRAFT. This is a 200 word challenge that I did for English (not counting the title). Before the final battle in Chicago, Megatron reminisces on the past, and before he dies, begs for his brother, Optimus Prime, to forgive him. MAJOR SPOILERS FOR DOTM. MAJOR CHARACTER DEATH.

Will you forgive me?

I remember Cybertron. I remember the place where we used to play. Everything in my life had driven me to madness, until I hated you, my brother. How had I sunk so far, Orion? Where did the carefree sparklings we used to be go?

It's cruel, I know, for me to want to destroy the human race in order to save Cybertron. But I only wanted something that truly wouldn't hate me: my home. But I went too far. I became a monster, slaughtering the innocent, and it was only right that you were the one to kill me, Optimus Prime. I have changed for the worst, but you for the better. Your fate brings happiness and goodness, mine only death. I'm sorry. I truly am.

But, lying offlined, my spark broken, losing everything including you, with my red optics fading black, and powering down, maybe it is time to be your Megatronus again. I have a final request, and that is for you to grow to be the fearless hero that you were always destined to be. I don't deserve your forgiveness, I know that.

But before I leave for the Pit, I just beg to know: will you forgive me?
