Transformers: Leader's Proof - Fragile, but Hard to Kill

Chapter 145 The Hunt Begins—



Chapter 145 The Hunt Begins—

After reassuring everyone that she wouldn't be in any trouble, Rosa emerged from the backstage of the Tomb of Ai.

She is now lying quietly in the life support system, waiting for the Decepticons to move her to their lair.

She was still calculating when the sun would completely set, and finally, a while after the sunlight disappeared, the vehicle that had been carrying her finally stopped.

Rosa immediately logged in again, telling them that she would help open a land bridge to move her coffin back, and that it should be nearby.

Her location tracking has actually been on the whole time, and the Autobots can all know her location, but she's about to turn it off.

"Isn't this hibernation pod a bit...too heavy!" After finally removing the hibernation pod from its "antlers," Lei Ti transformed into human form and stretched its back.

"Isn't being heavy what makes it a big guy?" the crab-shaped Decepticon said obsequiously, walking sideways like a crab as it approached Rosa's life support system.

"But how do I open it?" A miniature King Kong curiously stood on the life support system and saw that there was indeed a small panel on it, which was probably what he needed to click.

Suddenly, the "hibernation chamber" under his feet tilted and was placed upright. It was made of steel clamps. He thought this hibernation chamber should be the same as the previous cylindrical hibernation chamber.

I thought it would be easier to open this way... but there's a problem with this arrangement: the window for opening the mezzanine is now hidden underneath.

Okay, but it's not a big problem, since it's nighttime here anyway.

"Now, let's welcome our new member." Steel Pliers swayed its wolf tail and walked around from behind the life support system to the front. Before it could even press the panel, the life support system hissed and activated on its own.

Something's not right, what's going on?

The steel clamps instinctively took a step back. He hadn't even pressed the button yet, so why had the "hibernation chamber" opened by itself? Was it broken? That shouldn't be the case. Unless it looked like this, it couldn't be—

As the life support system was activated, a female machine with a particularly good figure appeared inside. However, the upper half of her face was obscured by a screen that was glowing and had a very large X on it.

Besides this, they also noticed that her hands were strange; her palm was a very ordinary iron box, but her fingers were composed of two metal rods and a large blade...

This doesn't look like a commonly used part at all; it's more like some kind of...weapon, like a sharp claw that can move freely?

However, he couldn't see any characteristics of any faction in her, so he put the steel pliers aside for the time being and wanted to go up and negotiate, inviting her to join the group.

The symbol? Of course not. The previous Autobot symbol was put on Ratchet, whose body was later melted down along with Unicron.

She hasn't had time to make the logo yet, partly because she's lazy and always forgets...

In hindsight, it's a good thing...

Rosa glanced around and realized it seemed to be an abandoned factory, but there were no signal jamming devices here. Was it really that casual...?

Oh wait, there's no one at the scrap yard either, so it's fine then.

Steel Pliers had already keenly sensed something was wrong, watching as the female machine slowly lifted one of her hands and moved her claws.

What followed was a scene that made everyone's expressions turn pale: the female machine's mouth suddenly gaped open, revealing countless sharp teeth that didn't look like those of a normal Cybertronian...

That mouth, with its teeth, looked like it could bite their heads off...

"Whoa!" The Great Sanction, seeing this somewhat 'unusual' scene, was so frightened that it hid behind the other Decepticons.

"You are..." Before Steel Pliers could ask, he saw her suddenly rush towards him and scratch a large gash on his arm with her claws.

Steel Pliers took a big step back, realizing that the newcomers were hostile. Only then did everyone begin to prepare for battle. Broken Bone immediately released two Mini Kongs. The two 'cannonballs' flew out from Broken Bone's body, originally intended to fly out and hit people first.

As a result, because the transformation was too much like a missile, it inadvertently triggered muscle memory, or rather, passive memory.

*100% chance of kicking a missile with bare feet

As a result, Rosa kicked the two Mini-Men against the wall with both feet and sent them flying, knocking them unconscious on the spot.

Rosa unleashed a transforming laser beam that sliced ​​across the entire Decepticon field. Fortunately, they reacted quickly and all ducked to avoid the laser.

Then, they saw the other side retract the laser into its arm and release a missile-shaped object.

Wait, a missile? Why can they even fit that thing in there?

Before anyone could react, she suddenly pointed her hand at the ceiling, and with a loud bang, countless pieces of gravel and dust fell down, creating chaos. Then, a trembling voice from the steel clamps shouted, "Run!"

Only then did everyone realize the disparity in equipment between the enemy and themselves, and they immediately ran away.

Rosa finally contacted the junkyard at this point, gave them coordinates, and told them to open the land bridge to cross over so she could go after the escaped Decepticons.

Then she turned off her own GPS signal. From now on, she was just a poor Transformer who "couldn't see the road in the dark and therefore failed to catch the fugitive."

Incidentally, I also had to turn off my own communications. The reason I got lost and couldn't contact anyone was because I was in an underground area with no signal.

Rosa flew a distance, took out her radar and the energy she had previously saved up. Using only a small amount of energy, she instantly saw the location and was initially a little confused.

Since the instrument failed to detect the location of the steel clamps and the others, it is estimated that the chip was removed directly.

However, there were two signals a little further away.

That's wonderful! In the night sky, a giant "bird" was flying, thinking about how she wanted to eat it.

And... what kind of hunting method should be used?

-

When the light from the land bridge appeared at Steelpin's "base," the first thing Bumblebee saw upon stepping off the land bridge was a cloud of dust, making visibility extremely low.

They searched the surrounding area and did see tire tracks, which should belong to Steel Pliers and his crew. However, they then drove into the woods, making them much harder to find.

The two Miniatures that Rosa knocked unconscious were probably taken along during the retreat, since there were no other Decepticons or traces of energy beings at the scene.

There was only dust on the ground, along with various building fragments and a large hole in the ceiling.

But I can't get in touch with Rosa either... What's going on?

Bumblebee tried calling her several times, but received no response. Startled, he quickly ordered Blackface to search for Rosa's signal while he led his team to follow the Decepticons' wheel tracks.

I'll randomly pick one, hoping to find the Decepticon Rosa is chasing, and then we can reunite... I hope nothing goes wrong...
