Midas was flying leisurely in the sky heading towards their agreed-upon meeting point, the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and for the life of him, he could not imagine why he felt some murderous intent come from below him.
Couldn't those guys just treat him as some super big bat that was flying around aimlessly in the daytime? Why were they pointing their weapons and equipment at him, studying him as if he were some endangered species?
All of this could have been made much simpler if he used his Energy to fly, and it likely took him a short amount of time to reach the meeting point. Unfortunately, Midas was about to fight a battle in a few minutes and he really could not bear to waste any energy… like, at all!
This was the reason Midas used his Optimus Body's Ability to morph to grow wings and he was currently barely supplementing that ability with his Root Energy to provide energy to his wings to help them keep going.
